At noon that day, Xu Bing was sitting in the courtyard resting and drinking tea, the spring sun was warm, she leaned on a comfortable Taishi chair, just closed her eyes, and suddenly felt a chill behind her.

It was an invisible murderous aura.

Xu Bing's martial arts can definitely be regarded as a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, but at this moment, she didn't dare to look back, and she didn't even dare to move. She felt a pair of eyes fixed on her back.

Suddenly, the murderous aura behind him suddenly disappeared.

Xu Bing slowly turned his head.

I saw a man in white standing quietly in the courtyard, a man in white wearing a mask.

The mask on the face of the man in white was dazzling in the sun.

White mask with no expression.

The voice of the man in white did not have any emotion.

"I want you to forge thirteen throwing knives for me, and come tomorrow to get them, this is the honorarium." The man in the white mask spoke slowly, as if every word had been carefully considered.

He didn't look at Xu Bing, his eyes kept looking at the white clouds in the sky, it seemed that Miss Xu, who was recognized as a great beauty in the rivers and lakes in front of him, was not as good as a wisp of white clouds in the sky in his eyes.

The tone in which he spoke was not discussing with Xu Bing, but like a high monarch, giving a simple order to his subordinates.

The white-clad masked man carried his hands behind his back, leisurely and independently. Xu Bing felt that this man in white could kill him with a sword, but he didn't have any weapons in his hands.

I didn't see how he moved, there was an extra money bag on the table in front of Xu Bing, and the bag fell on the table, and there was no big noise, obviously it was not gold, silver and jewelry.

"This is a silver ticket of 130,000 taels of Shanxi Datong Bank, a knife is 10,000 taels, is it enough to pick up the goods tomorrow." The voice of the man in the white mask was as cold as a ghost.

Xu Bing had come back to her senses, she stared at the white-clothed mask, and asked slowly, "Your Excellency does not hesitate to pay such a high price, I don't know what kind of knife you need to forge thirteen?" ”

"Xiao Li Flying Knife!" The man in the white mask said word by word.

"I know that your Xu family has cast knives for Li Xunhuan, I want you to cast thirteen flying knives that are exactly the same as Li Xunhuan, and at this time tomorrow, I will come to pick them again." After the man in the white mask finished speaking, he flew up and jumped high over the courtyard wall, as if disappearing into the white clouds.

……

Xu Bing slowly recounted the scene of the white-clothed masked man looking for her to forge a knife, although it had been a long time, she still had a frightened expression on her face at this moment.

Xiao Ding has been listening to Xu Bing's narration silently, and there is no obvious change on his face.

"So you can only forge thirteen throwing knives for him and wait for him to come back and get them the next day." Xiao Ding smiled faintly.

"Yes, I can only cast the knife obediently according to his request, because I don't want to die at his hands yet." Xu Bing also replied lightly.

Xiao Ding didn't mean to laugh at Xu Bing, and Xu Bing didn't mean to be shy.

"Is his martial arts really that terrifying?" Xiao Ding looked at Xu Bing.

Xu Bing thought about it, also looked at Xiao Ding, and said slowly: "Xiao Li's flying knife is also terrifying, and I can't avoid it either, but I'm not afraid of you." ”

Xiao Ding already understood what Xu Bing meant.

Xiao Li Flying Knife, as a case, will naturally make the opponent's psychology fearful, but although Xiao Li Flying Knife has killed countless people, he has never killed or killed anyone by mistake, until the last moment, or encounters an enemy who must be killed, otherwise Xiao Li Flying Knife will never shoot easily. Li Xunhuan is like this, Ye Kai is like this, and Xiao Ding is also like this, it seems that this is a truth that is known to the world.

Therefore, Xiao Li's flying knife will only make the wicked afraid, and the good people understand that if there is more Xiao Li flying knife in this world, it will be safer.

The reason why the man in the white mask can make Xu Bing feel terrified is, on the one hand, of course, because of his unfathomable martial arts, and on the other hand, because of the feeling he gives to others, which is something that is innate.

Xu Bing had never seen a man in a white mask before, nor had she heard of such a person, but she was convinced that killing a person like him was as simple as pinching an ant to death.

There is a kind of person in this world who regards human life as a cursory, whether it is the life of others or their own.

Xiao Ding had heard Master talk about this kind of person, and Jing Wuming was this kind of person.

And now, this white-clothed masked man is undoubtedly the same person as Jing Wuming.

They disregard life, but they respect the martial arts of kendo all their lives, and such people are all peerless masters.

Xiao Ding sighed and said with a wry smile: "It seems that you really don't know more than I know." ”

Xu Bingwan smiled and said, "I already said it, I don't know much. Seeing that you are so anxious, could it be that he used the name of Xiao Li Feidao to do evil everywhere in the rivers and lakes? “

Xiao Ding nodded, shook his head again, paused, and briefly talked about several major events encountered in the rivers and lakes recently.

From the disappearance of the dart silver of the Evergreen Dart Bureau, to the mysterious disappearance of the Thirteenth Taibao, to the assassination of Qiu Xiaohouye, and the death of those Dongying assassins under Xiao Li's flying knife, and even to the scene where the Lantern Festival and Sikong Jieyue met Bai Yunfei in the West Lake, and then the three of them gambled on wine.

Xu Bing had been listening quietly, and suddenly, she seemed to think of something, she stared at Xiao Ding tightly, and said slowly: "I finally found out that I know one thing more than you." ”

"Oh, what's that?" Xiao Ding's eyes lit up.

"The man in the white mask isn't very old, maybe at most about the same as you." Xu Bing looked proud.

Xiao Ding pursed his lips and sneered: "I thought it was some important clue, you would really make people happy." “

It's no wonder he scoffed, there are countless people in the rivers and lakes who like to wear white clothes at his age, if you want to check them one by one, you have to find out the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse.

Xu Bing still looked serious, not like a joke.

She glared at Xiao Ding and sighed: "The so-called authorities are fans, it turns out that there is really some truth in this, I didn't expect you to be a nerd, and you are no different from most nerds, at most you are a nerd who can drink." “

Xiao Ding knew that she had something to say, and he was not in a hurry to ask, in this regard, he had gradually learned to be obedient.

If a woman wants to sell her money, you must not ask her, the more you can't wait, the more they will not say it directly, but will pull out other questions in a roundabout way, the purpose is just to show in front of men that they do not understand anything, they will take the opportunity to let men understand, sometimes they understand no less than men.

But if you don't ask, they won't be able to hold back and then tell you everything they know.

It seems that all women have this problem.

Xu Bing is also a woman, and she is also a beautiful woman, how can she be an exception.

What woman wouldn't want to behave better in front of the man she likes?

Sure enough, seeing that Xiao Ding didn't speak, Xu Bing snorted lightly in his nostrils and continued: "There are naturally a lot of sons and brothers in the rivers and lakes who like to wear white, right, but there are not too many martial arts who are as terrifying as the white-clothed masked man, right?" “

More than that's right, it's just right.

In his twenties, he likes to wear white clothes, and his martial arts are outstanding, and his scope has become smaller and smaller.

Xiao Ding sighed deliberately: "But this range is still tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." “

Xu Bing sneered: "You are still not convinced, you have become a peerless master at a young age, there are only a few possibilities." “

"What are the possibilities?" In fact, Xiao Ding just didn't turn the corner for a while, and at this time, after a little bit of her, he already understood what she meant, he pretended not to understand anything, just to know how smart Xu Bing was, and maybe she could say something that she couldn't see through.

A person's mind, at some point, tends to fall into a dead end with no turning back, like getting into the horns of a bull, getting narrower and narrower.

Sometimes, a casual word or action from others can open up a person who is stuck in the alley of thinking.

"A young master, either a master or a family scholar, no matter how good your qualifications and talents are, if no one cultivates them, how can you practice a shocking martial arts at a young age?" Xu Bing shook his head proudly.

Xiao Ding pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and praised: "It makes sense, it makes sense, I really listen to your words, it's better than reading ten years of books, thank you for the allocation." “

Xu Bing smiled: "It's easy to say, and a young master like this, haven't you already met one, why don't you check him first?" “

"Huh? You say Bai Yunfei? Xiao Ding laughed.

"What's so funny about that? Let me ask you, when you first saw Bai Yunfei, was he also dressed in white? “

"yes, but he's not a masked man."

"The mask can be removed, who have you seen wearing a mask on a date with a lover? Let me ask you, is Bai Yunfei a top master? “

Xiao Ding thought for a while and said, "Of course he is a top master, but ......"

Xu Bing interrupted him and said, "I like to wear white clothes, and I am a peerless master, there are two suspicious things that are not worth checking for you?" “

Looking at Xu Bing's shining beautiful eyes, Xiao Ding was speechless for a while.
