Chen Zizhu walked out of the study and moved a reclining chair in the middle of the courtyard. In July and August, the sun is shining, and the shade is cold, and this is not the time to bask in the sun. But Chen Zi didn't care, lying on the recliner and closing his eyes slightly.

The courtyard was very large, but there was no one to be seen, and all those subordinates were hiding in the dark, so hidden that even Chen Zi didn't know where they were hiding. He did a good job in terms of safety, after all, in the entire rivers and lakes, Ye Yu Xiaozhu killed the most people and was the most hated, and he was Xiaozhu's face, if something really happened, he must look for him first.

Chen Zidu suddenly thought that his predecessor died in this courtyard. More than 30 secret guards guarded it, and they didn't resist the 100th martial arts person.

When everyone mentions the catastrophe of the rivers and lakes now, they will think of the incident eighteen years ago, but for Ye Yu Xiaozhu, is it just a matter of destroying the door? Yeyu Xiaozhu has to be hit by angry Jianghu people every few years, and the momentum is no less than the encirclement and suppression of the Shangguan family and the Li family eighteen years ago. After being encircled and suppressed, business continued as usual and was not affected.

At present, Xiaozhu is short of manpower, and there are more than 400 people when it is full. This number is considered a big gang in the rivers and lakes, but Ye Yu Xiaozhu is different, they die too quickly, they need to constantly replenish fresh blood, and they are very short of masters. It's only been a few months, and Si Ye and Zhen Tuan are gone, these two are first-class masters in Xiaozhuli.

In recent years, the rivers and lakes have been quite peaceful, and the overall level of martial arts people has declined significantly. Eighteen years ago, I evaluated a list of masters of heaven and earth, and now when it comes to masters, it is still the same wave of people as before.

The whole rivers and lakes are not very good, and the night feather Xiaozhu is not very good, but the three girls who came out of Changfeng Lou and the new master of the Thorn Gate are very good. I heard that a few days ago, the three aunts and grandmothers of Changfeng Lou entered the Songshan faction and seriously injured Qian Zhishui, who was at the bottom of the Tianzi list that year, and then retreated. Not to mention Shen Xiangzhi of the Thorn Gate, he is young and domineering. Moreover, this Shen Sect Master is obviously also coming for Ye Yu Xiaozhu.

Compared with the two, Night Feather Kozuki doesn't seem to have any chance of winning.

Chen Ziju muttered to himself: "Fortunately, there is me." ”

After saying that, stretching, he decided...... Get some sleep first.

…

When Xu Qingchen and the three of them entered Luzhou, it was already sunset, and they first found an inn and ate something briefly. Jin Huayan was in a hurry for a few days, and her body was a little unbearable, so the couple went to rest first. Xu Qingchen didn't want to rest too early, so he decided to visit Luzhou City first. As a result, when I went out, I saw three people, who were the same three people I met at the post station during the day. The three of them also saw him, but said nothing.

Xu Qingchen wandered aimlessly around Luzhou City for a few hours, he was a little frustrated, he finally realized how difficult it was to investigate a matter without any experience in the rivers and lakes. You can't just find someone on the road and ask: Driver, do you know where Night Feather Xiaozhu is?

It was not early, Xu Qingchen decided to go back to the inn to rest first, and then start investigating tomorrow.

As he was walking back, he passed by a large mansion and saw several people walking out of the house. They were dressed differently and walked in a hurry, but there was no expression on their faces. When passing by, Xu Qingchen felt that these were all practitioners, and their martial arts were high and low.

This group of martial arts people, coming out of a big mansion at this point in time, is a little unusual. And the scale of the house is very large, but there is not a single light at this point in time.

Xu Qingchen said in his heart: Was it just like that?

He decided to get closer and see if he had a chance to sneak into the yard quietly. As a result, as soon as this thought came to mind, a young man came out of the shadows and stood in front of him.

The young man arched his hand and said politely, "Childe, please stay." ”

Xu Qingchen frowned and asked, "Are you?" ”

The young man did not answer, but said, "At this point in time, Xiaozhu is not a guest. If Childe has a deal to do, please come tomorrow. ”

Xu Qingchen suddenly realized, it seems that he is regarded as a Jianghu person who placed an order.

Simply borrowing the slope to get off the donkey, Xu Qingchen hugged his fists and said, "So, don't bother." ”

After saying that, he turned and left.

Xu Qingchen knew in his heart that this was not a big discovery, and this house in Ye Yu Xiaozhu could be found with a little inquiry. But he knew at least one thing: this house was not inhabited by only one connector as rumored, and there were many masters in the open and in the dark.

Back at the inn and lying on the bed, Xu Qingchen tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Now I've found the only stronghold where I can get access to Night Feather Kozuki, but what about after that? Do you just punch it in? He didn't sleep well all night, and he thought of a lot of plans. For example: pretending to be a desperate Jianghu person to join the night feather Xiaozhu and investigate secretly. But in this way, there is a list of killings sent to his hands, to kill or not to kill? Another example: pretend that you want to place an order and get in touch with them. After thinking about it carefully, this won't work, who will you kill when you place an order? And I don't have much money on hand.

Fight hard, you are not a fairy. I can't think of any other way.

After working for a few days, and the injuries on his body were not good, he was sleepy, and finally he couldn't bear it and fell asleep.

When Xu Qingchen woke up the next day, it was almost noon, and Zhang Yuan knew that he hadn't rested well these days, so he didn't call him. After waking up, my brain was much clearer, and I was more thoughtful about things.

Xu Qingchen sat on the bed and muttered to himself: "I might as well test the temptation first, and explore the truth and the truth." The scale of the Night Feather Building is very large, and it will not be able to take it for a while. Xu Qingchen, don't rush to revenge, you must know how to be patient. ”

Think about it, get up and get dressed. After washing, I went to find Zhang Yuan first.

"Brother Qingchen, you're awake." In the backyard of the inn, Zhang Yuan was taking care of his horse himself.

Xu Qingchen approached and said, "Brother Zhang, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Zhang Yuan understood what he was going to say, and said, "Have you thought about it?" ”

Xu Qingchen nodded and replied: "Yes, I found the contact base of Ye Yu Xiaozhu last night, and there are many masters in the secret. Doing it directly is self-defeating, and I want to explore the reality first. ”

"Going tonight?"

Xu Qingchen shook his head: "No, they are very strict at night, and they may be looser during the day." Moreover, if you accidentally startle the snake, you can also take advantage of the pedestrian to escape. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Okay, wait for me to pack up and go with you." ”

Xu Qingchen hurriedly dissuaded: "Brother Zhang, I'll go alone, you still have to take care of your sister-in-law." ”

"Brother Qingchen, it stands to reason that if we meet in Pingshui, I still have a daughter-in-law to take care of, and I can't accompany you to death. But after contact in the past few days, you are a good person, I Zhang Yuan recognize you as a friend, and your sister-in-law is also pleasing to your eyes. If I let you go alone, your sister-in-law will have to nag me to death. ”

"Brother Zhang, the virtuous couple are both temperamental, thank you lightly. But this time it's really dangerous, you don't have to come with me. Besides, I'm not running to die, I can't really beat me. ”

After repeated persuasion, he finally dispelled Zhang Yuan's idea of taking risks with him. The two discussed, and as soon as noon passed, the husband and wife went out of the city and waited for Xu Qingchen outside the city. Xu Qingchen will try his best to shake off the pursuers, if he can't see him in the evening, let Zhang Yuan and his wife not have to worry about it, just go directly to the Medicine Immortal Valley.

After lunch, Zhang Yuan and his wife had already driven out of Luzhou City, while Xu Qingchen went to Yeyu Xiaozhu's contact point alone. He changed into a gray outfit and wore a hat. After all, someone had already seen him last night, and it would be bad to be recognized.

He first circled around the stronghold of Yeyu Kozuki twice, determined the location of several hidden stakes, and then sat in the tea shed at the entrance of the big mansion, quietly observing the surrounding affairs.

He hadn't done anything like this, so he didn't do it well, and from the first time he turned around, he had already been discovered by the people of Night Feather Kozuki. At first, Ye Yu Xiaozhu's dark pile thought that he was just an ordinary Jianghu person, and he was so cautious for fear of being seen, until he found that his eyes were staring at the location of several hidden piles intentionally or unintentionally, and the killers of Xiaozhu understood: This person is probably here to seek revenge.

Just when Xu Qingchen was thinking about making a move, three people came into his eyes, and they were the three people he saw yesterday. They walked slowly down the street, and after a while, they also sat in the tea shed.

…

Shen Xiangzhi and the others have been in Luzhou for a morning, and they have looked at several vacant houses, but they have never found satisfactory ones. This made Yang Fan more determined to the idea that "the new master is not to establish a rudder this time", there are several mansions that are suitable in size and price, but Shen Xiangzhi left after asking the price, and there was no intention to talk about it.

When they came down in the morning, the three of them were a little dry, so they found a tea shed to rest for a while.

After the three of them sat down, Yang Fan came back to his senses - this is the only contact point open to the rivers and lakes in Yeyu Xiaozhu, he had been to Luzhou a few years ago and listened to what his friends said.

Sure enough, Shen Xiangzhi didn't want to drink tea, and she didn't drink a sip of the tea after it came up, but glanced at the door of the house next to her a few times.

Yang Fan couldn't help it a little, and whispered: "Door master, should you be thinking about ......?"

"No," Shen Xiangzhi replied coldly, "Don't think about it. ”

Xiong San didn't understand what the two of them said, but he noticed the young man in gray clothes and hats behind him. He lowered his voice and said, "This little brother, we met yesterday, right?" ”

Shen Xiangzhi also noticed the young man in gray, but the difference was that she also felt the murderous aura on the young man's body. If you guess correctly, young people have the same purpose as themselves.

Thinking of this, the young man had already drunk his cup of tea, dropped a few copper plates on the table, and then stood up and walked towards the gate of the house. His robe was wide enough to cover the long sword that hung from his waist.

"Yang Fan," Shen Xiangzhi glanced at Yang Fan, "stop." ”

In fact, Yang Fan also noticed the young man's actions just now, he understood what the door master meant, got up and walked two steps quickly, and stopped in front of the young man.

The young man looked at him with a little guard in his eyes, and when he saw Yang Fan's face clearly, he was a little puzzled again.

"This son," Yang Fan said with a smile, "my young lady is invited." As he spoke, he pointed to Shen Xiangzhi.
