This is a world of natural selection, to poke their heads out of the layers of reeds on the shore of the North Sea, to have the first right to feed among the wolves on the grassland, they or they need to abandon the so-called "fragile emotions", the saints are ruthless, to the human heartless, otherwise it is not enough to be detached.

The courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion was silent, and the pools of corpses and blood on the ground were all shaken by the previous shock, and they were squeezed under the courtyard walls on both sides, as if they had been swept by the hands of the gods, and the blood turned into a very proper red paint, on which fell a few newly fallen green leaves.

With these green leaves as the boundary, the two brothers of Si Gu Jian and Shadow sat under the two stone steps, seriously injured and speechless, looking at each other indifferently.

At this moment, a dense whistling sound of breaking wind suddenly came from outside the City Lord's Mansion, like more than a dozen trebuchets, and at the same time launched an attack on the City Lord's Mansion, grinding the big stone, cutting the air.

Looking around at the sword face sè unchanged, the shadow face sè remained unchanged, Fan Xian was walking towards the shadow at this time, and the face sè did not change at all, because the three people heard clearly, it was not the stone that broke the void, but the person, it seemed that it was a bloody case in the city lord's mansion, and finally alarmed those masters who were obsessed with guarding outside the sword house.

The little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty came to Dongyi City, taking the two nine-grade masters of Wolf Tao and He Daoren, as for whether there are any hidden masters in Tianyi Gate who are hiding in the shadows to guard, it is unknown. And since yesterday, all the disciples of the Sword House have returned from their respective cultivation places and stayed in front of the Sword House, silently waiting for the Master's will.

On both sides combined, there are more than a dozen masters of the nine grades, think about the entire Qingguo Kyoto, and now there are only two strong men on the nine grades, which makes people have to feel a trace of surprise and envy for the special here in Dongyi City, so many masters broke through the air at this time, and the momentum was really a little shocking.

The wind swept in the field, Yun Zhilan and Wolf Tao led everyone, and just swept to the blood and water all over the ground, the two frowned, subconsciously looked at their feet, and then saw the scene in the house clearly, and at the same time found the person they cared about the most.

Wolf Tao saw the emperor and found that his majesty seemed to be fine, but his face was a little pale, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and led his subordinates to surround the little emperor, in order to keep him safe, and at the same time turned his gaze to Fan Xian.

Over there, Yun Zhilan saw the seriously injured Sigu Sword sitting under the stone steps, but his face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly ran over, and before he could speak, his knees slammed on the ground and knelt down.

This sword leader couldn't hide the weirdness of his face at all, but he didn't care how Master Shizun would punish him afterwards, since he dared to go against Shizun's intentions and secretly trade with the people of Northern Qi, a sword heart was already ready. At this time, looking at the miserable situation in the city lord's mansion, looking at the dead city lord and those masters in the mansion, he naturally knew who did it.

Since Master Shizun personally took action, he naturally showed his attitude, and what shocked Yun Zhilan was that Master Shizun would be so seriously injured!

All the disciples of the Sword House knelt beside Si Gu Jian, looking at the master's injuries with shock and anger.

In the hearts of these people, the only people in this world who can be compared with Master Shizun are those great grandmasters, even if Master Shizun has been injured for three years, but the only ones who can hurt him are still the emperor of Qingguo, and the nowhere Ye Liuyun is missing.

A disciple of the Sword Lu began to tremble with his hands to bandage the injuries of the Sigu Sword, in his heart, the master is a god-like figure, especially in the word sword, he is the absolute number one person in the world, but now rì will be stabbed in the chest by someone in a row Two swords, who is the hand?

The door in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion moved slightly, and the two disciples of the Sword House walked in with Wang Shisanlang in their hands, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the scene in front of them. Especially Wang Shisanlang, he still has the remaining poison cleared, and last night he forcibly raised the realm, insisted on Liu to stop everyone, and helped Fan Xian enter the Sword Mansion, the whole person was exhausted to the extreme, if it wasn't for the second senior brother to help him, he was afraid that it would be too late to rush to the City Lord's Mansion at this time.

Last night, the inside of the sword house was harmonious, and the outside of the sword house was tense, everyone knew that this thirteen disciples of the sword house were Fan Xian's friends, but Fan Xian hijacked the emperor of Northern Qi and broke into the sacrosanct sword house, so everyone's hostility went towards Wang Shisanlang.

If it weren't for the two disciples of Jianlu who indifferently protected him, Yun Zhilan would not have been able to let Wolf Tao and the others do it for the dignity of his master, but I am afraid that today's Wang Shisanlang can only lie on the bed.

Of course, the reason why Wang Shisanlang was able to maintain his safety under the siege of so many masters was that the most important thing was the leaf, the branch, the Sword Saint Lord in the Lu had already expressed his attitude, and the disciples in the Sword Lu who had already fallen to Yun Zhilan's side could only maintain neutrality.

............ Wang Shisanlang knelt beside Si Gu Jian, his lips trembled slightly, he couldn't say anything, he didn't look at Fan Xian since he entered the City Lord's Mansion, because his mood was very complicated. All this qiē thing was explained by the master, so he helped Fan Xian enter the house, thinking that the master would have a very harmonious conversation with Xiao Fan, but he didn't expect that the master would be injured like this!

The disciples of the Sword Mansion all knew the strength of the City Lord's Mansion and the horror of the sword in the hands of Master Shizun, so it was natural to think that it was definitely not the people in the City Lord's Mansion who injured the Master, but the people from Nanqing.

It's Fan Xian's person.

Yun Zhilan was the first to stand up, looking coldly at Fan Xian and the man in black beside the stone steps, gradually, his pupils became cold, his gaze crossed Fan Xian, looking at the man in black, his eyes turned from cold to hot.

He knew the man in black, and he could even say that he was very familiar, because four years ago on the shore of Hangzhou Lake in the south of the Nanqing River, this man in black rose from the lake and stabbed himself on the side of the boat, and then the two of them pursued and were hunted and killed in the Jiangnan area for several months.

Yun Zhilan knew the strength of this man in black, and even he always thought that in addition to Master Shizun, the swordsman's swordsmanship in black in the whole world was the most fierce, the most ruthless, and even more powerful than himself.

Yun Zhilan was already a powerhouse in the ninth grade, so he knew how powerful that man in black was, he didn't need to think about it, and he also knew that at this time, the only person who could hurt Master Shi with his sword was that man in black.

He slowly pulled out the long sword at his waist and walked towards the stone steps over there step by step, the distance between each step was so fixed, no more, no less, exactly two feet.

The sword in his hand was three feet.

The distance between him and the shadow was thirty feet.

"The true master of the legendary Six Divisions of the Inspectorate, Lord Shadow. Yun Zhilan walked and said indifferently: "This is the first time I have seen your true face. ”

Yun Zhilan took five steps over there, getting closer and closer to the stone steps over there, the sword intent on his body became stronger and stronger, and the killing intent became more and more sufficient, no matter how different this sword leader was from his master for the future of Dongyi City, but when the foreign enemy attacked, when the Nanqing people dared to hurt their own master, Yun Zhilan's chest was full of killing intent, and he had to cut the other party under his sword.

If the other party was in good condition at this time, Yun Zhilan didn't have much confidence, but he knew that even if the man in black might have taken advantage of the fact that Shizun didn't pay attention, he secretly killed Shizun and stabbed Shizun with two swords, but the other party must have paid a great price for this.

The disciple of Jianlu is deeply influenced by the heart of the sword, and he doesn't care about such a thing as bullying the weak with the strong.

Under the big green tree, the little emperor of Northern Qi looked at this scene with a pale face, not knowing if there would be a conflict between Jianlu and Nanqing next, and I didn't know how Fan Xian would deal with these things. In her opinion, even if Si Gu Jian wanted to reach an agreement with Nanqing, she was afraid that with this great grandmaster's blood-devouring xìng grid, it would be impossible to allow the black-clothed man who was called the shadow of the six places of the Supervision Yuan by Yun Zhilan to leave alive.

Suddenly, the little emperor seemed to remember something, thinking of the two words mentioned in the sentence of Si Gu Jian before, his eyes lit up, and there was a hint of redness on his pale cheeks.

............ Fan Xian was half-kneeling beside the shadow, treating the wounds on his body for him, the countless bloody wounds cut out by the sword qi were still oozing blood outside, fortunately, the official uniform of the Supervision Institute really had some effect, those bloody wounds were not deep, and they did not need special treatment, with the strong body of the shadow, it should be able to stop the bleeding.

The biggest problem is in the shadow's body, Fan Xian's palm is on his back, slowly entering the natural true qi of the heavens, carefully investigating the situation inside, his face becoming more and more dignified, after a while, he took out a pill from his arms, fed it to the shadow's lips, and then pressed his palms tightly and began to heal him.

The night before he healed Thirteen Lang's injuries, yesterday he fought with the wolf peach people, and last night he fought with the little emperor in bed, Fan Xian was also extremely tired, but he knew that if he didn't hurry up at this time, he was afraid that the shadow would die due to internal bleeding.

After the incident in the Hanging Temple, the shadow followed Fan Xian for four years, and never left an inch, although it was a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and the term friend was not too implicated, but Fan Xian knew that he could not do without this person, which was a kind of intimate feeling that would naturally arise after a long time of life support.

Fan Xian lowered his eyes, but he could also hear Yun Zhilan's steady footsteps getting closer and closer, and after a while, he slowly lowered his hands, stood up, looked at Yun Zhilan and said, "Do you still want to kill me?"

Yun Zhilan was silent for a moment and then said: "Your life or death is decided by the master, but this person must die. ”

Fan Xian didn't think anything, slowly took off the robe on his body, revealing a pure black power suit inside, and then bent down and pulled out his black sè dagger from between his boots.

He stood in front of the shadow.

............ Fan Xian stood up, the atmosphere in the entire courtyard changed, from beginning to end, he didn't really make a move, the only thing that was lost was the jīng god, the countless jīng gods that were consumed by the strong will of the Sigu sword, but at this time, standing in front of the shadow, Fan Xian's jīng god seemed to have returned to his body in an instant, indifferent and speechless, extremely powerful.

It's like facing Yan Xiaoyi back then.

Everyone knows how powerful Fan Xian is, and today's Nanqing Quanchen is no longer a young person who first entered the ninth grade when he was sent to the Northern Qi Dynasty, but a real strong man in the ninth grade. He killed Yan Xiaoyi silently, Kyoto killed Old Man Qin, retreated from Begonia on the grassland, and yesterday rì also escaped from the siege of several Jiupin masters twice - in the past history of confrontation with Jiupin powerhouses, Fan Xian won a complete victory without exception.

This is not the name of the person, the yīn shadow of the tree, but the accumulation of real confidence, even in the face of the sword Lu head disciple Yun Zhilan at this moment, Fan Xian still did not have a trace of fear in his heart, but just looked at the other party indifferently, the meaning was very clear, if you want to kill my subordinates, you have to let me kill them first.

Fan Xian and Yun Zhilan stood face to face, but behind Yun Zhilan, more people stood up, there were a total of thirteen disciples in the Jianlu, all of them were present today, and there were only six people who stood up, but it was these six people, the fierce sword intent revealed by the body, and Yun Zhilan, where the sword blade was located, suddenly went out, and Fan Xian's face was slightly white.

There were also several Jianlu disciples kneeling beside Si Gu Jian, hurriedly serving with fear in their hearts, including the third and fourth disciples of Jianlu who had ambushed Fan Xian in the Meipu Courtyard, and the reason why these two Jianlu masters did not stand up was complicated, because they knew Fan Xian and the man in black...... will look around the sword.

They didn't tell Yun Zhilan about this matter, because the stake was too big, and they were going to report it to Master Venerable, but they didn't expect that too many things had happened in the past two days, and they didn't find any opportunity.

They were shocked in their hearts, and they kept speculating about what kind of relationship the black-clothed man under the stone steps there had with Master Shizun, and why the other party was able to hurt Master Shizun.

Wang Shisanlang didn't stand up either, he didn't look at Fan Xian, his heart was a little confused, he didn't understand what was going on, he just vaguely guessed a hint of secret, but he couldn't speak.

............ Yun Zhilan didn't know this qiē, the cold-blooded assassination between Jiangnan and Shadow back then was often just a fleeting thing, and Shadow still had a hand at that time, and he didn't show his mastery of pressing the bottom of the box.

He just looked at Fan Xian, and then clenched the sword in his hand.

Under the big green tree over there, Lord Wolf Peach, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly tightened his tail finger, and the metal chain tied to his wrist suddenly tightened.

At this moment, a slightly cool hand was placed on Wolf Tao's wrist and stopped him from making a move.

Wolf Tao frowned slightly, looked at the majesty who stopped him, and didn't understand what he meant, thinking that this was a rare opportunity for Daqi, originally Nanqing and Sigu Sword were about to reach an agreement, but at this time, it was Nanqing who stabbed Sigu Sword, if he helped Yun Zhilan take down or kill Fan Xian at this time, and then kill the black-clothed man who stabbed Sigu Sword, Dongyi City and Nanqing would definitely break down completely.

And as a martial artist, Wolf Tao was really curious, who was that man in black, could it really be the shadow of the rumored number one assassin in the world, the Supervision Yuan? Could it be that this assassin was really so powerful that he could actually hurt the Sigu Sword?

The little emperor smiled slightly, looked at the scene of the sword pulling and crossbowing next to the stone steps, and said softly: "Believe me, they can't fight, in that case, why should we be this bad guy?"

............ The atmosphere in the arena did not allow the parties to have this kind of judgment of the little emperor, and the sword intent of the seven nine-rank masters was superimposed, and Fan Xian also began to feel the difficulty of breathing, and the cold sweat that had just dried up began to flow down his back again.

At this moment, he couldn't help but be a little awe-inspiring, this place in Jianlu is indeed too weird, so many Jiupin masters, if Nanqing can't reach an agreement with Dongyi City, he really sends troops to attack, but I'm afraid that those marshals who lead the army will always face the attack in the dark night.

The sword intent permeated for a moment, Fan Xian knew that if he really moved, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to get out alive, suddenly the corners of his lips curled slightly, he raised his head with a smile, swept his gaze over Yun Zhilan's shoulders like iron, looked at the sword under the stone steps, and said, "Do you really want outsiders to interfere in your own affairs?"

This phrase falls on the ears of different people and has completely different meanings. Yun Zhilan thought that Fan Xian was talking about the Northern Qi people, and said indifferently: "The disciples of Jianlu are enough, and they don't need the help of friends in the north." ”

Wolf Tao smiled slightly under the big green tree and said, "If Lord Xiao Fan can survive, I will personally challenge you." ”

And Fan Xianli ignored the replies of these two masters, and just stared at the Sigu Sword under the stone steps. Because only Si Gu Jian understood the true meaning of his words, this is a war between two brothers, does it really need outsiders to intervene? When the shadow used the wind and thunder sword before, Fan Xian was behind the wheelchair, but he just left with the little emperor, and did not fight with the shadow.

Fan Xian didn't intervene, can your disciples of Jianlu intervene in the grievances of your two brothers? Fan Xian gambled on the pride and wildness of Sigu Jian, and gambled on Sigu Jian's previous shadow of a life, and there must be a follow-up article to do.

In this case, how could Si Gu Jian watch his apprentices miss his plan in order to take revenge.

............ Si Gu Jian raised his eyes slightly, smiled, and sighed with some regret, as if he was sorry for Fan Xian guessing his thoughts, so he couldn't see Fan Xian's true level.

The great master glanced at the disciples kneeling beside him in disgust, and scolded in a snarling voice: "Lao Tzu is not dead, why are you in a hurry to mourn?"

Si Gu Jian then raised the arm of his left hand and glanced at Wang Shisanlang. Wang Shisanlang is very familiar with this action, and when he went down to Dadongshan, he carried it like this. After returning to Dongyi City, he still carried it like this, so he naturally squatted down.

Si Gu Jian leaned back against the young man's broad and solid back, twisted his head very comfortably, and said, "Go back." ”

Wang Shisanlang responded in a muffled voice, then stood up with the thin master on his back and walked outside the sword house, but his body was already extremely bad, and several senior brothers next to him hurriedly helped him and left together.

Si Gu Jian walked away like this, leaving nothing behind, only a place of astonishment and eyes. Fan Xian looked at Yun Zhilan, who was close at hand, and said, "Master Yun, you have already disobeyed the Sword Saint several times, do you want to do it again." ”

Yun Zhilan was silent for a long time, glanced at the shadow under the stone steps, and said, "Actually, I also want to carry the master, but I have too many things to carry." ”

"There are some things that you don't need to memorize. Fan Xian was unmoved, and said with a smile: "Because you can't carry it, don't you say it if you crush it, and smash what you want to carry, isn't it all great sorrow?"

Yun Zhilan pondered for a long time, and then took a serious look at the blood and water in the city lord's mansion and the corpses, especially the corpse of the city lord on the side of the stone steps, and after a while, his face calmed down, knowing that his thoughts had all fallen into the void after all, I don't know what kind of magic this little fan master of Nanqing used, not only let Lord Shizun take action and kill the city lord's mansion, but even after being injured, he did not have the slightest intention to kill these Nanqing people.

In fact, after all, it was this Sword Lu Leader who didn't understand the Sigu Sword, no one in this world could persuade or induce Sigu Sword to do anything, this great master could do whatever he wanted, this qiē was just his own idea.

............ Jianlu withdrew from the City Lord's Mansion, and only the Northern Qi people and Fan Xian were left in the field. Wolf Tao put his hands behind his back, walked out from under the green tree, looked at Fan Xian and said with a smile: "Lord Xiao Fan is really good, just a sentence, he can force Jian Lu to not make a move, but I am not from Dongyi, this is a rare opportunity, do you want to learn a thing or two?"

"One cannot be shameless to this extent. At this time, Fan Xian was initially out of the sword intent danger, and the whole person was tired and relaxed, sitting on the stone steps beside the shadow, without raising his head, and said with a smile: "This is a sentence that your emperor gave me today, and I will give it to you." ”

"Little Fan, I don't know who is more shameless in the world. The scimitar gold chain behind the wolf peach made a slight sound in the wind, and with his steady voice, it was even more wonderful, "Sister Ling is a disciple of my Tianyi, and she was ordered by the ancestor to take charge of Qingshan affairs, and now although Senior Sister Fan is returning to Nanqing, after all, the master is still in the Taoist system, Jun is not to miss the old feelings, but also to read the righteousness of the master, in the late autumn of last year, my Qingshan disciple was killed and injured on Xiliang Road, do you think I will be like this?"

"It turns out that you also know that you died on Xiliang Road. Fan Xian raised his head, two cold lights shriveled over, and said coldly: "Hugh said that there is something wrong with the death of the bitter lotus national teacher, even if my sister takes over from Haitang to take charge of your Tianyi Gate, if you Tianyi still dare to do three or four in my Nanqing, I ...... Will still continue to kill. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a disturbance under the green tree, and Wolf Tao's eyebrows were also wrinkled, I don't know why Fan Xian dared to be so tough in the current urgent situation, although the disciples of the Sword Lu left, but the master of Northern Qi was still there, even if the sword was in the way of something, and he didn't want to kill Fan Xian or the black-clothed master, but the people of Northern Qi would not have any psychological obstacles.

How did this Tianyi first disciple know what happened last night, and where could he have thought that Fan Xian, who was now looking at these masters of Northern Qi, was like looking at his own subordinates. Your Emperor is already my people, and you are far from becoming my people...... Is it still far away?

The little emperor under the green tree smiled and said: "I pass on the poetry and books of the Northern Qi Dynasty, of course I will not be widowed by the crowd, Lord Wolf Peach, let's go." ”

As soon as these words came out, Fan Xian's brows furrowed, he looked at the little emperor, and suddenly said, "Can you come over for a while?"

Speaking in such a tone to an emperor, it is really rude to the extreme. However, to the stunned people of Northern Qi, His Majesty was not angry, but just smiled and said, "What's the matter with Fan Qing's family? Let's talk about it after you have rested." ”

Fan Xian saw clearly the indifference and those slight anger between the little emperor's eyebrows, knowing that the other party was an emperor after all, in front of the courtiers, for fear that something would go wrong, his previous words were really a bit excessive, so he couldn't help laughing at himself, and said: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister has something important to report." ”

The little emperor was silent for a long time, I don't know what kind of struggle she was doing in her heart, today she saw too many mysterious things that had nothing to do with power, and her heart was greatly shocked, but at this time, looking at Fan Xian's expression, she thought of the greater shock in her heart last night.

After a long time, the little emperor said indifferently: "You all go out, I have something to say to Fan Qing's family." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience, especially Wolf Tao looked back at his emperor in amazement, not knowing what the situation is now. A few years ago, His Majesty made up his mind to join forces with the Jian Lu Yun Zhilan faction to kill Fan Xian in Dongyi City, everyone saw it yesterday, Fan Xian took His Majesty into Jian Lu, and the hatred between the two sides should be incompatible, but at this time, looking at the expressions of these two people, it is not at all what everyone imagined.

He Daoren, who had been standing beside the little emperor, was also shocked, and glanced at Wolf Tao suspiciously, waiting for his speech.

Wolf Tao took two deep breaths, waved his hand, and led everyone out of the City Lord's Mansion. Whether he is worried or not that Fan Xian will be unfavorable to His Majesty, but since His Majesty Chrysostom has made an order, those of him who are courtiers can only follow the order.

The City Lord's Mansion returned to calm again, Fan Xian stood up, walked to the little emperor's side, looked at her quietly, and suddenly said: "Don't say the last thing you heard today, otherwise...... I'll also tell what I know. ”

The little emperor's face changed slightly, and the cold light in her eyes flashed, she didn't expect Fan Xian to guess her thoughts so quickly, and she didn't expect Fan Xian to use her secret to threaten herself so directly.

The six departments of the Supervision Yuan are the younger brother of Sigu Jian, and there is too much room for this matter to be used, and it can even shake the foundation of the Qingguo Imperial Court, so that there will be irreconcilable contradictions between the Qingguo Emperor and the Supervision Yuan - the Jinyi Wei of the Northern Qi Dynasty is not a dry meal, a long time ago, the little emperor knew from Wei Hua's mouth that the assassination of the Hanging Temple that year, Emperor Qing has always believed that the younger brother of Sigu Jian was the unheard of the younger brother.

The little emperor took a deep breath, this secret is too important for Northern Qi, and if it can make Qing civil unrest, there is no doubt that Northern Qi can turn over, but it is just ...... Fan Xian held a secret in his hands that was enough to subvert the entire Northern Qi Dynasty.

Her face changed for a long time before she finally whispered, "I know." ”

............ Outside the City Lord's Mansion, the faces of the people in Wolf Tao were also changing, they couldn't think of it, they were anxious all night outside the Sword Mansion, always worried about the safety of His Majesty, and finally His Majesty Xià and Fan Xian seemed to have a good conversation.

Wolf Tao's pupils suddenly shrank, and said, "Send the order back to Nanqing and let Mu Peng rush back." ”

He Daoren's face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "My lord suspects that Fan Xian has planted poison for His Majesty?"

"Fan Xian is a person who uses poison in the world, if it wasn't for the poison, how could he let His Majesty leave, why did His Majesty agree to stay and talk to him in secret just now. Wolf Tao's pupils were full of anger, and he said coldly word by word: "Fan Xian, this person, is as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, and cannot be taken lightly." ”

Wolf Tao's resourceful reaction was not unpleasant, but he didn't know that Mu Peng had already let Fan Xian be imprisoned in the seven places of the Supervision Yuan, and he didn't know that Fan Xian had indeed planted poison for the little emperor, but it was not the kind of poison that would kill people, but the poison in his heart, and there was no solution.
