A round of innocent bright moon shines in the Dongyi City, which is composed of infinite architectural shadows, the light is not very dazzling, coupled with the brackish sea breeze blowing from the good harbor outside the city, so that the air is filled with a charming smell, just like the air-dried salt plum was thrown into a clear cup of Wuliangye, with a pale green face, and the spicy killing intent is dangerously hidden in the fragrance.

The back door of a two-story house opened silently, and two people stacked on top of each other entered it like a gust of wind, and then the people behind the door immediately closed the door, and at the same time, several secret signals came from outside the house indicating that it was safe and nowhere to be found.

This is a secret stronghold of the Nanqing Supervision Institute stationed in Dongyi City, and the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop in charge of this stronghold has been waiting here tonight, but he didn't expect to wait for an injured person in the end. After he opened the door, he nervously clenched the dagger in his hand and sat motionless behind the back door, carefully watching the movements around the stronghold, to ensure that if something went wrong, he would be able to report it as soon as possible.

The moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard suddenly dimmed, and the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop looked up nervously, but he did not notice anything unusual, nor did he notice a shadow floating in through the gap in the wooden door on the second floor of the house.

Inside the house, Fan Xian put Wang Shisanlang on the bed, stared at his face for a long time, then pried open his lips, looked at the tongue coating, and listened to the pulse and lung sounds, and his brows slowly wrinkled.

To be able to make the strong Thirteen Lang really dissipate his true qi and be paralyzed and weak, this poison must be a very terrifying thing. The time was too short, and Fan Xian still couldn't completely judge what kind of medicine Yun Zhilan gave to Wang Shisanlang, the first disciple of the Sword Lu, but he had a general understanding of the general composition and type of action of this drug.

After thinking for a while, he took out the pouch from his bosom that never left him, chose a slightly brown medicine blade from among them, crushed it with two fingers, stuffed it into Wang Shisanlang's lips, took half a pot of cold water from the table, and poured it into it raw.

The cold water wet the front of Wang Shisanlang's clothes, but this brave and strong man who killed King Xihu Zuoxian and could still kill the general from the king's tent did not react at all, because he was already unconscious at this time.

A hint of chill flashed in Fan Xian's eyes, he pursed his dry lips, and brushed Wang Shisanlang's chest with one palm, stroking down like water waves, and sending his true qi slightly, helping Wang Shisanlang swallow water and medicine.

After doing this, Fan Xian relaxed a little and sat silently next to Wang Shisanlang, waiting for the medicinal power to start to work. He glanced at the shadow beside the door, silent, as if pondering another very important question.

The medicine gradually took effect, and beads of sweat began to ooze from Wang Shisanlang's forehead, Fan Xian knew that the time had come, went to bed cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to use the pure and good true qi of the natural Dao in his body to heal his wounds.

In the season in the south of the Yangtze River, the meridians in Fan Xian's body were all broken, and he relied on the help of the begonia flowers to repair the meridians with the help of Tianyi exercises. Although Wang Shisanlang has been deeply poisoned, the meridians are messy by poison, and the vasculature that can be faintly felt is full of holes, but at least it is much easier to treat than Fan Xian back then.

It is impossible for the medicine to completely drive out the poison in Thirteen Lang's body, but coupled with Fan Xian's healing true qi, it is another result. Since Fei Jie left, Sean died, the master of poison in Dongyi City was missing, and now in this world, Fan Xian can be said to be the first expert in using poison to detoxify, although the medicine under Yun Zhilan is extremely powerful, but it is not difficult for him.

The shadow was silent at the door of the room waiting for the treatment of poison, and looked indifferently at Wang Shisanlang, whose face was getting redder and redder, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Shisanlang finally opened his eyes and woke up, but the moment he woke up, he didn't look at Fan Xian, who had worked hard to save him, but oozed out two chilling sharp mangs, stabbing straight at the middle-aged man in the shadow next to the door.

Wang Shisanlang didn't know who the middle-aged man was, he only knew that the other party was about forty years old, and he had met him in Qingzhou City by chance, and knew that he was Fan Xian's cronies. Wang Shisanlang originally thought that this middle-aged man who couldn't see the height was a secret agent in the Supervision Academy, but when Fan Xian had not fainted on his back before, he clearly saw that in that moonlight, the sword that this middle-aged man stabbed at the fourth senior brother.

The secret study of the Sword House is never passed on, and only the thirteen disciples of the Sword House can practice the Sword of the Four Eyes!

"Who are you?" Wang Shisanlang asked in a hoarse voice as he stared at the shadow, but his gaze was extremely frail, but his gaze was extremely complicated.

............ Fan Xian slowly withdrew his palms from Wang Shisanlang's back, his body was too consumed, and the sweat all over his body flowed like a pulp, and he was sweating at this moment. He heard Wang Shisanlang's question full of shock and nervousness, his brows furrowed slightly, he didn't expect that this Shisanlang had escaped from the Ghost Gate Pass at the beginning, and he actually returned to the position of the Sword Mansion, and he had a very strong hostility and concern towards the shadow.

The shadow lowered his head slightly, his eyes fixed on his toes, and he didn't answer Wang Shisanlang's question at all, maybe he felt bored, maybe he felt bored, maybe he felt disdainful.

He is the younger brother of Sigu Jian, and he is forced to ask by the young disciple of Sigu Jian, so he naturally feels quite ridiculous. And in the entire world, there are no more than four people who know his true identity, and before Fan Xian has permission, the shadow will not let anyone know the relationship between him and Jianlu.

It's just that this big secret, with the shadow being forced to shoot tonight, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of speculation.

Fan Xian moved down from behind the bed, sat next to Wang Shisanlang with his head down, buried his head between his shoulders, looking extremely tired, and the sweat on his body was filled with a foul smell.

Wang Shisanlang didn't thank him, just stared at the shadow like a tiger, as if if the shadow didn't give him an answer, even if he was weak at this time, even if he had just been restrained by the brothers of Jianlu with yīn poison, he would shoot at the shadow in the name of Jianlu.

Fan Xian buried his head, raised the index finger of his right hand and sniffed it gently, and his fingertips carried the sweat forced out of Wang Shisanlang's body, and there was a slight feeling of oil. He immediately identified the ingredients of this medicine, sighed in his heart, and said with murderous intent in his eyes: "It's so poisonous, Thirteen, your senior brother really loves you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Shisanlang fell silent and speechless, after all, it was the two masters of Nanqing who rescued him from his own junior brothers tonight.

Fan Xian suddenly waved his hand, extremely tired and said: "This poison is too powerful, I don't have the medicine at hand, just use the true qi to force the poison, you can't force it out, you have to recuperate at least a few times to recover, what is there to ask, I will ask again when I wake up tomorrow." ”

Wang Shisanlang coughed twice, seemingly a little unwilling, but he felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he fell to the bed.

Fan Xian took out the thin needle on Wang Shisanlang's neck with his backhand, shook his head, sat up from the edge of the bed, picked up half a pot of cold tea and poured it into his stomach, sweating again, and feeling even more exhausted.

He pushed the door open and sat down in the shadow of yīn under the eaves, and the shadow came next to him.

"I'm glad you came. After being silent for a long time, Fan Xian said softly: "Otherwise, I really don't know if I can come back alive." ”

Thinking of the four cold swords with the realm of nine products in the sword house, thinking of the situation that seemed to be free but actually dangerous just now, Fan Xian's heart was a fear and cold, the heroes of the world really can't be underestimated, fighting alone, although he is never afraid of people now, but being besieged by several nine products, it is really quite terrifying, especially if he can't bear to leave Wang Shisanlang, if it weren't for the shadow suddenly appearing in that moonlight, who knows what the fate is facing today.

broke up at the ice stall that sold saury, Fan Xian's instructions to Shadow was to contact the Nail of the Supervision Institute ambushed in Dongyi City, and he went to the Meipu Sandwich Courtyard alone, but he didn't expect Shadow to complete the task so quickly, and return to his side, saving his life.

"Before dealing with the affairs of the sixth, I was first and foremost a shadow. The shadow said coldly beside him.

Fan Xian was silent for a moment, knowing what the other party meant by this, he used to be Chen Pingping's shadow, so he never left Chen Pingping's side, and later Chen Pingping ordered him to come to protect himself, and he became his inseparable shadow.

Even if Fan Xian was a little arrogant and let the shadow deal with the affairs of the hospital, and left his side for a short while, the shadow would still feel strongly uneasy, and chose to find Fan Xian as quickly as possible - his style of acting was to secretly follow Fan Xian and protect him at all times.

The sea breeze blew, and Fan Xian's sweat made him even colder, making him can't help but shiver. He is now a powerhouse in the ninth grade, and he has long been immune to cold and heat, but at this moment, he shivered, which is enough to prove the coldness in his heart at this time.

The coldness in his heart was because of the internal collapse of the sword house, Yun Zhilan actually dared to attack Wang Shisanlang, and he did it so ruthlessly, and there were so many sword masters standing beside him, could it be said that the dying Sigu Sword had lost control of the sword house?

The cold was also because of the dangerous situation before, and the sweat all over his body, not only because it was caused by forcing poison for Wang Shisanlang, but also because of the four terrifying swords, Fan Xian was shocked.

And there was something more fearful in his heart, this matter weighed on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe, and fear occupied the entire mind and body.

It was obvious that the shadow knew what he was afraid of at this moment, so he also looked more solemn than ever, and sat beside him, not saying a word.

At this time, Fan Xian thought of the beginning of the Jiangnan many years ago, under the eaves outside the Shazhou Inn, he and the world's number one assassin sat side by side, although the conversation was not pleasant, but it was a lot of benefits. Today, they sat next to each other again, but their hearts were very heavy.

"Why didn't you kill that Sword Master just now?" Fan Xian's voice had already become dry because of nervousness.

"The other party has four nine grades, and we can pass by with one move, relying on surprise and using sword intent to shock the other party's mind. The shadow closed his eyes and said silently: "Even so, I can only seriously injure one person, and you didn't really hurt the third child...... If they come to their senses, we may be able to escape, but we still won't be able to kill them all. ”

"I have to admit that my idiot brother is the best in the world in terms of his ability to teach his disciples. ”

Shadow's words illustrate a fact known to the whole world, among the four great masters, Ye Liuyun does not accept disciples, Emperor Qing probably has such a strange turning disciple as Fan Xian, and although there are many disciples in the Tianyi of Kuhe, there are only one who has really cultivated countless top masters, and there are twelve Jiupin under the Sword Lu Sect alone, which is a jaw-dropping number.

Fan Xian was silent for a long time, and then suddenly spoke: "I have been very careful in the past three years, once I use the Sigu Sword, there will be death under the sword, and I have never let the living see my sword moves of the Sigu Sword. ”

"I've never been alive under my sword. The shadow indifferently stated the facts, the number one assassin in the world, but no one had ever survived when he came out of his sword.

"What about Yun Zhilan?" Fan Xian mentioned a name, three years ago in Jiangnan, the shadow led the swordsmen from six places, chasing and killing the disciples of the Sword Lu led by Yun Zhilan all over the world, and forced the dark forces of Dongyi City out of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and made a great contribution to Fan Xian's rectification of the order in Jiangnan.

"When I killed Yun Zhilan, I didn't use the original sword. The shadow was silent for a moment, and then answered.

Fan Xian nodded slightly, even if the shadow was next to the West Lake fishing boat downstairs outside the Hangzhou building, and attacked Yun Zhilan, it only seriously injured the other party, it seems that the shadow is also worried that he will not be able to kill Yun Zhilan, so he left a back hand in his methods so as not to expose his identity.

"So, in the whole world, there are only five tonight, not six...... If you add Thirteen Lang, it's seven people, and they probably know this secret. Fan Xian lowered his head and pondered: "The problem is, we haven't been able to kill these people yet, when do you say that Sigu Jian will guess that you are his brother who survived?"

After the shadow was silent for a long time, he slowly spoke: "Maybe a long time ago, he knew that the shadow of the Supervision Yuan was me. ”

As soon as these words came out, Fan Xian fell into a helpless calm, knowing that what he was most afraid of might become a reality because of this trip to Dongyi City.

He looked up at Mingyue, looked down at his hometown, and muttered, "It would be great if the Sigu Sword could keep it secret for us." ”

The shadow glanced at him and didn't say anything, but the banter couldn't hide it.

Fan Xian suddenly let out a long sigh, looked at the shadow and asked with a smile, "How did it feel when Rì assassinated the Emperor in the Hanging Temple?"

The shadow pondered for a moment, then said, "It feels good. ”

Fan Xian shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything more.

The assassin of the Hanging Temple was the younger brother of Dongyi City's Sigu Jian who ran away from home since he was a child, and now everyone knows that Emperor Qing is a great master, and his vision will naturally not be wrong. If Sigu Jian guessed that the shadow was his younger brother through the return of the disciples tonight, the news would be transmitted back to Nanqing...... Can Chen Pingping still sit in a wheelchair properly? This is what Fan Xian and Shadow are most afraid of, the two of them, for that lonely old cripple, both of them have the deepest respect from the bottom of their hearts, and when they come back to their senses, they regret that at the previous moment, a flaw was exposed, a flaw that exposed the biggest secret of the Supervision Yuan.

"Maybe things aren't as bad as we thought. Fan Xian suddenly said calmly: "Within tomorrow, I will meet Si Gu Jian, discuss business with him, and discuss this matter together." ”

——————————————————As Fan Xian said, this matter may not necessarily affect Nanqing, but he is carefully preparing, and the business of this trip to Dongyi City needs to be handled by him carefully, if this matter is handled well, maybe a problem will be solved.

"Are we friends?" Fan Xian drank gruel while looking at Wang Shisanlang, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, with a pale face and an injury that had not yet healed.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Shisanlang nodded.

Fan Xian put down the porridge bowl and said very seriously: "If you don't want to lose my friend, then about last night's Yiqiē, from today onwards, don't say a word, don't ask." ”

Wang Shisanlang nodded again. Although Fan Xian asked him not to ask, but about what happened in Dongyi City yesterday and a few days ago, he had to ask clearly, he tapped the table with his fingertips, motioned to Shisanlang to nourish his stomach with some rice porridge, and said after considering his words: "I dared to go to the Meipu Jiayuan to look for you alone yesterday, it's not that I didn't think that Yun Zhilan would send someone to keep an eye on that place, but you must also know that I asked the Supervision Yuan to send some people to keep an eye on your residence." ”

"The biggest problem is that I always thought that with your strength, even if there was a tragedy inside the Sword House, you should have the ability to notify my subordinates or leave some traces for me. Fan Xian stared at Wang Shisanlang's eyes, "I was almost surrounded and killed last night, this problem was caused by you, I don't understand, how could you be trapped in the house and lose so badly." ”

Hearing this, a trace of pain flashed in Wang Shisanlang's eyes, it seemed that the senior brothers within the sect secretly attacked him, which made this young master with an extremely bright heart also feel unbearable pain.

After a while, Shisanlang said in a hoarse voice: "Three days ago, Senior Brother invited me to drink, talking about the future of Dongyi City, Senior Brother was very excited at the banquet, but I was a little shameless, because I knew that what Senior Brother said and did was correct. ”

"But what you did was arranged by the sword, and you have no way to resist. Fan Xian intercepted his words.

Wang Shisanlang was silent for a moment and then said: "Yes, if it weren't for the order of the master, I would rather hold a sword to resist the Nanqing army than become a spurned horn by the senior brothers like now." ”

"It doesn't feel good to be a Han Jiān, right?" Fan Xian said with a smile at the corners of his lips, but he thought of himself in his heart.

Wang Shisanlang didn't quite understand the meaning of the word Han jiān, shook his head and said: "I believe that Shizun is also thinking about the future of Dongyi City and thousands of people, and no one knows what Shizun will do." ”

He paused, and then said: "There are only me and the senior brother at the banquet, you know, before I left the customs, although I had never met the senior brother, but in the past two years, our senior brother has had a very good relationship, and I even treat him as my own biological brother." ”

Fan Xian sneered: "So he gave you poisonous wine to drink, and you also drank it in one gulp." ”

A hint of pain flashed in Wang Shisanlang's eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "Senior brother is not this kind of deceitful villain, I know that he poisoned me for the sake of Dongyi City, and he doesn't want you to see Shizun through my channel." ”

"You're a man...... It's a bit too naïve. Fan Xian sighed and said: "In this world, either you kill people, or people kill you, if you want to take charge of the sword, it is tantamount to a fool's dream." ”

"Senior brother doesn't want to kill me, he just wants to kill you and break a possible agreement. Wang Shisanlang suddenly became angry, stared at Fan Xian and said.

Fan Xian's heart was slightly stunned, and suddenly softened, and said gently: "I believe this, I have checked the poison, although it is harmful to your body, but as long as you don't use your true qi in vain, it will not be fatal, Yun Zhilan and those senior brothers of Jianlu still have a trace of kindness to you." ”

Fan Xian's words were actually just to comfort Wang Shisanlang, maybe even he didn't want to look at the simplest of the young generation masters in the world, and his heart was covered by these filthy things.

"Yun Zhilan trapped you, intending to trap Nan Qinglai's liaison, and the previous spies reported that the Sword House was heavily guarded and no one was allowed to enter, and it is obvious that the people from Northern Qi have entered the Sword House and are beginning to try to convince your master. ”

Fan Xian said: "What I want to know now is who the big man from Northern Qi is." ”

"I don't know. Wang Shisanlang said very simply: "This matter was arranged by the senior brother from the beginning, and I have been poisoned in the past few days and have been locked up in the courtyard. ”

"I want to see Sigu Jian, is there any way?" Fan Xian stared into his eyes.

Wang Shisanlang's expression was a little lonely, and he said: "I haven't seen my master for ten days, and I don't know how his body is, and whether he can hold it or not." ”

Fan Xian was extremely annoyed when he heard that he didn't answer the question at all, but he also knew that there was no way, and said with a sneer: "The big man of Northern Qi is ...... I really think I can't guess who it is? Although the defense of the Sword House is strict, it is impossible for Yun Zhilan to cover the sky with one hand, if you walk to the Sword House openly and remain neutral, the second senior brother who has always remained neutral, will you watch the others kill you in front of the Sword House?"

Wang Shisanlang looked at him like a ghost and said, "Last night, you were almost killed by your senior brothers, are you going to die today?"

Fan Xian was silent, he had to meet this great grandmaster before Northern Qi persuaded Si Gu Jian, and it was also related to the life of the person he was most concerned about, if he didn't send him to death, he was afraid that many people would die in this world.

"You are the thirteenth disciple of the Sword Mansion, there are always some ways in Dongyi City, I will send the people from the Supervision Yuan to help you, if I can't enter the Sword Mansion today...... But I must also meet that great man of Northern Qi. A rather unpredictable and strange look flashed in Fan Xian's eyes, as if he was extremely sure about how to deal with that Northern Qi bigwig.

............ A young man with a pale face walked down from the carriage with great difficulty, looked at the rows of grass houses in the sword house in the distance, countless complicated feelings rose in his eyes, straightened his clothes, and walked over there.

The disciples of the various sword houses who were in charge of the defense, looking at this person's expression, all showed shocked expressions on their faces, and some subconsciously stretched out their hands to their waists and held the hilt of the sword, but none of them dared to strike first.

I don't know who it is, so I called in a somewhat dry voice: "Uncle Xiao, Master has an order, Master Zu is in retreat and cultivation, and he must not be disturbed." ”

Gradually, people surrounded Wang Shisanlang in the middle. All the disciples of Jianlu knew that Yun Zhilan, who was dealing with the affairs of the next disciple, had many problems before this little uncle, who was most favored by the ancestors.

Last night, Uncle Xiao was rescued, and everyone was guessing if it was a master of Nan Qinglai, but everyone didn't expect that at this time, Uncle Xiao actually walked to the door of the sword house.

Everyone was nervous, not knowing whether to take him down right away or how.

Wang Shisanlang took a deep breath, his face was calm but with infinite persistence, and he walked towards Jianlu step by step, and then he saw a person who he wanted to see, bowed down and saluted: "Second senior brother, I want to see the master." ”

The second sword of Jianlu was not involved in this matter, he looked at Wang Shisanlang with a look of pity, and said softly: "Senior brother, go back." ”

............ Just when there was a mess in front of the Sword Mansion, outside a quiet courtyard behind the Sword Mansion, a person slipped silently along the yīn shadow under the mountain. At this time, the attention of the disciples of Jianlu was all attracted by Wang Shisanlang, who appeared bravely, but no one noticed this.

This quiet courtyard is where the Sword House is used to entertain the most distinguished guests, but that guest is in the Sword House at this time, so the defense power of the small courtyard is not very strong, and the figure penetrates it very lightly.

Avoiding the masters brought by himself from the Northern Qi side all the way, Fan Xian touched the backyard like a raccoon cat, smelled the faint fragrance that will be remembered for a lifetime, came to a house, floated in, and looked at the woman who was facing the mirror decal yellow, and the woman who was resentful of the palace maid, couldn't help laughing.

He walked up behind the woman, leaned down and blew softly in her ear, and said lightly, "Lili, do you miss a man?"

The woman was shocked, looking at her charming and resentful and incomparably beautiful self in the mirror, and the unforgettable, beautiful face next to her face, which was not inferior to her own, and was so shocked that she couldn't say a word at all.

Little Fan-sama!

The owner of that face hadn't seen him for several years, why did he appear in Dongyi so unknowingly, next to Jianlu, and beside him!

Manager Huo Ran turned around, opened his frightened eyes, looked at Fan Xian who appeared beside him like a ghost, opened his mouth, but forcibly suppressed it, did not make a sound, and his gentle eyes were full of shock.

Fan Xian was very satisfied with this woman's appearance, smiled slightly, and said softly: "It seems that he really spoils you, such a big thing, he actually took you with him, is he afraid that you will give him a green hat?"

The manager clutched the corners of his sleeves, trembling slightly, but his lips were pursed very tightly, and there was a slight horror in his eyes. She and Fan Xian are old acquaintances, when they traveled all the way north and met in prison, they didn't know how gentle Xiao Fan was, but he was actually ruthless. At this time, the other party is in danger, as long as he makes a slight move, he is afraid that the other party will not care about the slightest affection of the year, and destroy the flowers.

Fan Xian gently grabbed her chin, the tentacles were slippery, and his thoughts drifted to the carriage that went north at this moment, his heart fluctuated slightly, and he said softly: "Do you want us to sew a green hat for your family demon emperor?"

Si Lili was frightened for a while, but she pursed her lips and laughed, she was the first beauty in Kyoto back then, and now she has become a concubine of Northern Qi, deeply favored by Emperor Qi, and is infected by endless luxury, and it is even more incomprehensible.

Fan Xian also smiled, it was really convenient to deal with such a well-informed woman. He smiled and raised his hand in invitation, and the manager smiled bitterly, put his hand in his big hand, and walked behind the curtain.

The manager was too familiar with his style of acting, and knew that in this case, he couldn't be careless, just to borrow his own room and wait for someone he had always wanted to wait for. But I don't know why, when her hand was put into Fan Xian's warm hand, the woman's heart actually let out a long sigh, as if she had fulfilled her long-cherished wish for several years, and she was extremely satisfied. At this moment, she didn't even think that after staying for a while, the person would encounter any danger.

............ It was a long, maybe short, time, and there was a rush of footsteps outside the house, and an extremely young man, in the midst of many guards, entered the room. This man's eyebrows are like double swords, he doesn't know where to point, his eyes are like the sea and he doesn't know the depth and geometry, he is wearing a plain clothes, with a bright yellow ribbon tied around his waist.

"Your Majesty, Miss Lili is not here, maybe she has gone to play in the garden. A eunuch posing as a servant screamed.

The young man, perhaps with some trouble in his heart, hummed softly, and sat down on the chair, and habitually put his feet up, and the eunuch had already taken off his boots.

Fan Xian quietly peeked at this scene behind the curtain, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he thought slightly, after a few years, this little emperor is really still used to sitting with his legs open, his feet are still so stinky and quite big, where is there a little bit of a woman...... It's really underwhelming.
