Before the three of them went to Luzhou, Jin Huayan asked Xu Qingchen to change his clothes, he was still wearing the clothes of Yaofu's family at that time, and he couldn't wear this when he wandered the rivers and lakes. If you want to say that "people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles", it really makes sense, after changing into a moon-white suit, Xu Qingchen's temperament suddenly rose a lot, you say that he is the son of a family in the rivers and lakes, some people definitely believe it.

The three of them were saying this when there was a sound of horses' hooves behind them. It was a sunny day, the road was dry, and the fast horses kicked up a puff of smoke and dust. Fortunately, these people talked about public morality, and when they approached Xu Qingchen and them, they deliberately reduced their speed, so as not to let the carriage be flooded with smoke and dust.

There are also three people in that team, a bearded man, a handsome son, and a woman with black veil covering her mouth and nose, and the staffing is very similar to Xu Qingchen.

Three men and three horses galloped on the official road, and did not stop until they saw the post station next to the road.

The woman with a black veil took off her veil, revealing a face as cold as frost, and she said to the two behind her: "Xiong San, Yang Fan, let's rest here for a while." ”

After saying that, the three of them jumped off their horses. Xiong San led the horse to the stable, and the groom who told the steward to add some forage to the horse. Yang Fan walked into the post station and ordered someone to prepare some food.

Yang Fan glanced at Shen Xiangzhi outside the door, she looked back at the direction she came, not knowing what she was thinking. They came all the way from the Thorn Gate, and ran for six days in a row, without much rest in between. Yang Fan was not in good health, and as soon as he came back from Songshan, he was arranged to accompany the new master to Luzhou, which made his body a little unbearable.

coughed a few times for no reason, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and found that the original white handkerchief was dirty. Not only the handkerchief, but also the clothes on his body, his face and hands that fell outside were also stuck with a layer of dust, which made this beautiful son of the world a little embarrassed.

Yang Fan is a smart person and is good at seeing through people's hearts, but for the new master, he can't use this skill at all. He knew that the original intention of this trip to Luzhou was not to establish a rudder, but to ...... Towards Night Feather Kozuki.。 Eighteen years ago, the old master had a conflict with Yeyu Xiaozhu because of the affairs of the Shangguan and Li families, and the new master and the old master had some connections that others did not know, and after taking the throne, he was not in a hurry to investigate the cause of the old master's death, but went directly to Luzhou. This made Yang Fan have to think that this trip had something to do with Night Feather Xiaozhu.

The drunkard doesn't mean to drink.

Shen Xiangzhi had already walked into the post station, and the two found a clean table to sit down, and after a while, Xiong San also came back.

"Door master, this way is really in a hurry." Xiong San grumbled. Since the first day of taking office, Xiong San has not dared to have any complaints against Shen Xiangzhi, this woman is too powerful, has the means, and can fight, and never drags her feet in doing things. Xiong Sanda admired the new master in his heart.

Shen Xiangzhi replied nonchalantly: "Finish it early, go back early." ”

Xiong San smiled and said, "Door Master, along the way, you have no problem, and I have no problem." But our Yang Gongzi can't bear it. ”

This is not to tease Yang Fan, he has a good relationship with Yangfan, but it is just a simple joke.

Yang Fan just wanted to say that he had no problem, but Shen Xiangzhi said: "It's because I didn't think it through, we can go slower on the road below." ”

Yang Fan smiled and said: "It's okay, it's important to do things, I'm not muddy, I can still stand this little ordeal." ”

After eating a little, the people and horses had rested enough, and the three of them continued on their way. When I left the inn, I saw a carriage parked outside the inn, and a black-haired man was lifting the curtain of the carriage and helping a pale woman out. Shen Xiangzhi asked about the smell of herbs on the woman's body, which she was very familiar with, and couldn't help but look at it twice.

Over there, Yang Fan lowered his head and dusted off the soil on his body, but when he looked up, he bumped into a young man in moon-white clothes.

The young man hurriedly said, "This son, I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry. ”

Yang Fan replied: "It's okay." ”

The two groups of people looked at each other and didn't say anything. When Shen Xiangzhi and them walked away, Xu Qingchen looked at the direction they were leaving, thoughtful.

Zhang Yuan asked, "Brother Qingchen, what's wrong?" ”

Xu Qingchen replied: "It's nothing...... It's just a little weird. ”

"It's nothing more than three people in a hurry, what's strange?"

"The woman...... She...... The inner breath is too strong. ”

Zhang Yuan also looked in that direction and said, "It's surprising that you have such internal strength at your age, that woman is still above you?" ”

"Yes, far more than me, but that's not surprising. My master said that there are some secret methods in this martial arts that can make people have inner breath far beyond their peers...... Strangely, this woman's internal breath and pranayama are a little mismatched. ”

Rivers, lakes and seas, each with its own scale. The great rivers are wide and the water flows are turbulent. The small river and creek have a narrow course and a naturally slow flow. This principle is the same for people, the internal force is water, pranayama is the river, the stronger the internal force, the longer and deeper the pranayama.

Xu Qingchen continued: "Her internal force is very strong, so strong that she can feel the oppression just by passing by, but her pranayama is too shallow, like the Yangtze River water pouring into a small riverbed, which is unreasonable. ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and patted Xu Qingchen's shoulder: "I found out a few days ago, although you are not good at talking, and you are not anxious for success, but you are a martial idiot." ”

Xu Qingchen has no objection to this. He didn't have any pursuits in his previous life, except for three meals a day, he practiced martial arts every day. Although the martial arts in the Yao family for most of the year have been a little lax, I still have a great desire for high-level martial arts and a duel with a master, so I noticed the majestic inner breath of the woman with a black veil.

Xu Qingchen didn't pay much attention to this, when they met in Pingshui, it was one thing whether they could meet in this life.

This post station is not far from Luzhou, and after resting, you can reach Luzhou in two hours.

Shen Xiangzhi and his party slowed down the speed of their journey, on the one hand, to take care of Yang Fan's body, and on the other hand, Shen Xiangzhi also needed to think again, so recklessly came to Luzhou, just afraid that he would startle the snake.

Yang Fan has been thinking about what the new master is thinking about since the day he set off, and through a few days of contact, he feels that if he wants to see through Shen Xiangzhi's heart, he is afraid that it is more difficult than ascending to the sky. You say she's cold, but she's thinking about others. You said that she has outstanding martial arts and looks down on the mortal, but she can keep a low profile along the way, even if she talks to people on the road, most of them choose to back down, and they don't agree with the fact that day that they killed more than 20 people from the Wuhuo Gang Caiyun Society.

What's even more strange is her kung fu, Yang Fan had a few tricks with her before leaving, one is to show her strength to the new master, and the other is to verify whether she is really that powerful. The result is: Shen Xiangzhi is indeed powerful, but he is too anxious, not like a test to fight, but eager to win. Yang Fan lasted 50 rounds in that competition, but he had a feeling that if he fought another 50 rounds, maybe he could win.

Could it be that the internal strength of the new door owner can't last too long? But it's not right, when I interjected the trick with her, I obviously felt that her internal strength was a little unreasonable.

couldn't figure it out, Yang Fan didn't think about it anymore and concentrated on hurrying.

After more than an hour, the three of them finally entered Luzhou City. I first found an inn, and seeing that it was still early, the three of them took a brief stroll around Luzhou City to understand the layout of Luzhou.

Just as they were walking in the streets and alleys of Luzhou, several pairs of eyes had been following them.

Xiong San whispered, "Door master, there are mice." ”

Shen Xiangzhi let out a soft "um" and didn't express any opinion.

Those trailing rats Shen Xiangzhi and Yang Fan had already discovered and even knew whose eyeliner they were. Luzhou is the territory of Night Feather Xiaozhu, and you can think that these people are from Night Feather Xiaozhu with your toes.

"Yang Fan," Shen Xiangzhi asked, "When the old master was alive, how was his relationship with Ye Yu Xiaozhu?" ”

Yang Fan replied: "Well water does not interfere with river water. ”

Shen Xiangzhi nodded, and the three of them walked into an alley. The young man who was eating at the chaos stall on the side watched them walk in, settled the bill, and quietly followed. As a result, when the young man entered the alley, he found that the alley was empty, and there was still the shadow of the three people.

The young man secretly said "not good", hurriedly turned around, and prepared to exit the alley. As a result, he turned his head and saw that the three men were already behind him.

The young man was obviously a novice, and when he encountered this situation, he was a little flustered.

"I—I......" I said twice, but didn't say anything.

Shen Xiangzhi asked, "Ye Yu Xiaozhu's friend, right?" ”

The young man kept his mouth shut tightly and remained silent.

"Go back and tell your leader that the Thorn Gate is here to set up a rudder, and there is no other meaning, so don't be nervous."

After Shen Xiangzhi finished speaking, he took Xiong San and Yang Fan out of the alley.

The young man only felt that his back was soaked, he had heard of this new master of the Thorn Gate, and he had slaughtered more than 20 people on the first day of his appointment.

…

Chen Zidu sat in the study, and there was a case file on the table, on which was Shen Xiangzhi's life experience, but there was only one sentence: Penglai fisherman's daughter.

Chen Ziju stood up, walked around the study twice with his hands behind his back, and muttered to himself: "Penglai...... Qiao Fei hid her so deeply, Sima Zhao's heart. ”

While he was thinking, the door of the study was pushed open, and a subordinate walked in quickly. It walked fast, but there was no sound of footsteps.

The subordinate walked up to Chen Zidu's side and whispered a few words in Chen Zidu's ear, Chen Zidui nodded and waved the subordinate away.

"Splitting the rudder?" Chen Ziju smiled, "Master Shen, this move is too hasty. Come. ”

A man in black pushed the door open and fell to his knees.

Chen Ziju ordered: "Withdraw the person who is staring at Shen Xiangzhi, this kind of master, it's not interesting to stare." ”

"Yes."

"By the way, how is it over there in Runan?"

"I succeeded, but no one survived."

"What?" Chen Ziju frowned, "No one survived?" What about the chieftains? ”

"Dead."

"When did you get the message?"

"Just now."

"Who killed it?"

"I don't know."

"How did you die?"

"The one who wounded him by the sword, and the one who killed him and the other brothers, was one man."

"Hmph," Chen Ziju suddenly laughed, "It's interesting, Ye Yu Xiaozhu is really getting worse and worse, this river and lake is getting more and more interesting." Also, has Si Ye's body been found? ”

"No, there is a river under the cliff, the water is fast, and I don't know where it has rushed."

"Hey......" Chen Ziju's smile remained undiminished, "Okay, I know...... Send a few clever people to Runan to investigate who killed the scumbag. As for Si Ye's side, forget it, don't waste manpower. ”

"My subordinates understand."

The subordinates withdrew from the study, and the expression on Chen Zidu's face was a little crying and laughing. Night Feather Xiaozhu has failed several times in a row - Runan can't be considered a failure this time, but he has lost a leader and more than twenty killers, if this matter spreads, Xiaozhu's future business will not be good.
