Shangguan Xian looked at him, seemed to cough a few times deliberately, and sighed faintly: "This is a problem from before, thank you Ling Gongzi for your concern." Ling Tianxiao was stunned when he heard this, and now he was undoubtedly sure that the "Shangguan Immortal" in front of him was not himself at all.

Ling Tianxiao pretended to be calm, walked forward slowly, and before the other party could react, he reached out with his right palm, shot like the wind, and pulled out the Zixiao Sword, only to see the sword light appear, and a purple light crossed the front.

That "Shangguan Immortal" was surprised, and swept a few feet back, but it was still not as fast as the sword qi, and all the clothes on his body were torn by the sword qi. Suddenly, like a golden cicada shedding her shell, she jumped out of her beautiful dress, and when she landed again, the woman was already wearing a black suit, and there was an extra layer of black veil on her face.

Ling Tianxiao looked at her carefully, and was surprised that she was not only proficient in disguise, but also used the same body skills as those Dongying assassins when she was in the inn that day. He raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "What is your relationship with those assassins?" ”

The black gauze woman said quietly: "If I don't say it, what can you do to me?" ”

Seeing her so confident, Ling Tianxiao couldn't help but smile and said, "If you really don't say it, then you will suffer." With that, he shook his body and flew out diagonally.

The woman in the black gauze had never seen such a swift move, and in surprise, she drew her short knife and put on a stance. I saw the purple cloud sword in Ling Tianxiao's hand sweep, the wind suddenly rose, although the black gauze woman's gaze came, but her hand speed was not enough, and when she wanted to block, a strong sword qi hit her chest, causing her to fall backwards.

The woman in the black gauze was worried that the other party would take advantage of the victory to pursue, so she got up with a brute, but it was too late, Ling Tianxiao reached out with both hands and pointed a few acupoints on her body, and she couldn't move on the spot. The black gauze woman knew that the general trend was gone, and hurriedly said: "I'm not here to kill you, I want to make a deal with you." ”

Ling Tianxiao's face was as pale as water, and he said disapprovingly: "If you hadn't fallen into my hands, it would have been possible for you to say this, but now that you have been defeated, from my side, you just want to delay time." ”

The black gauze woman said firmly: "Okay, if you really don't believe it, then it's up to you if you want to kill or chop." ”

Ling Tianxiao looked at her carefully, pondered for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, you have to answer everything I say, otherwise I will make you unable to survive or die." ”

The black gauze woman snorted coldly and said, "You can't scare me, I'm not scared." ”

Ling Tianxiao put away his sword and asked, "What's your name, is the assassin who attacked me at the inn that day your comrade?" ”

The woman in the black gauze seemed to have no concealment, and said calmly: "My name is Sachiko Hojo, as you can see, I am not from the Central Plains. The Assassin who attacked you that day was from the same clan as my division, but I have come this time only by me, not at the behest of anyone. ”

Ling Tianxiao heard the meaning of his words and asked, "Who entrusted the person who assassinated me?" ”

Hojo Sachiko shook her head and said categorically: "There is no comment on this matter, unless you agree to trade with me, even if you cut a thousand knives, I will never leak half a word." ”

Ling Tianxiao wondered, "You keep saying that you want to trade with me, what do you want to trade?" ”

Sachiko Hojo was silent for a long time, and sighed lightly: "The person who fought with you that day was my eldest brother, and he failed in his mission, so he will come again, I hope you don't kill him when you arrive, and let him live." ”

Ling Tianxiao raised his head, clapped his hands and laughed: "Haha, this is too interesting, he wants to assassinate me, but I can't kill him, it sounds like I'm at a loss." Well, then let me ask you, what are the benefits of me doing this? ”

Sachiko Hojo's beautiful eyes blinked lightly, and he affirmed: "If you are willing to agree, I will tell you a lot of things, many things you want to know, as long as I know something, I can tell you 1510." ”

Ling Tianxiao clasped his hands around his arms and said in disbelief: "Then you have to tell me first, who sent him to kill me?" ”

Sachiko Hojo's eyes fluttered, and he said calmly: "The person who sent him to kill is my master, but the person who wants you to die is the Absolute Sword Cliff, we are just using people's money to eliminate disasters for others, now you understand, right?" ”

Ling Tianxiao's eyes froze, and he said in a low voice: "You just didn't say the mastermind behind the scenes, but now you say it easily, how can I believe what you say?" This may be your deeds exposed, and I may not be able to confuse it if you deliberately say it. ”

Hojo Sachiko looked at him for a long time, let out a silver bell-like laugh, and smiled: "It seems that you haven't stepped into the rivers and lakes for a long time, this matter is no longer a big secret in the rivers and lakes, and everyone knows that the Absolute Sword Cliff has found many people to help." The weapon we use is a knife, and standing on the same front as the Absolute Sword Cliff, there is nothing to make a fuss about. ”

Ling Tianxiao was stunned at first when she said this, and then began to waver. It is true that he has only just come down from the mountain, and he has been separated from this river and lake for at least three years, and if this is the case, then Hojo Sachiko's words can be justified. Ling Tianxiao asked, "How could the people of the Absolute Sword Cliff know that I was here?" ”

Sachiko Hojo shook her head and said with a smile: "You're wrong, we're not targeting you, it's just that you just happened to be there." I've bought the inn, and we'll do it if anyone with a sword comes in there. Hearing her words, Ling Tianxiao breathed a sigh of relief on the spot, thinking that his reappearance in the rivers and lakes seemed to be unknown to anyone.

Ling Tianxiao glanced at her, and immediately picked up two small pebbles, threw them straight at her, and hit her two acupoints respectively, and Sachiko Hojo was immediately unlocked and could move freely. Ling Tianxiao waved his hand and said, "You can go." ”

Sachiko Hojo said, "You want to let me go?" ”

Ling Tianxiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "You are not hostile to me just now, otherwise you would have at least lost an arm now." ”

Sachiko Hojo frowned and said, "How can you be sure that I'm not hostile?" ”

Ling Tianxiao looked at her and said with a smile, "Your suspicion seems to be very serious, but it's not a bad thing. If you really want to kill me, then it is too foolish, your eldest brother's martial arts are higher than yours, and he can't hurt me by half a point, let alone you came alone this time. ”

Sachiko Hojo pondered for a long time and asked, "What about the deal between us?" ”

Ling Tianxiao's eyes froze, and he frowned, "What you just said is debatable, I can't trust you for a while." If you want to gain trust from me, then the next time you come, you had better prepare the sincerity you deserve. ”

Sachiko Hojo was surprised and said, "Do you want me to do it again?" ”

Ling Tianxiao smiled, "You don't look like someone who will give up easily. ”

Hojo Sachiko's beautiful eyes lit up, and she smiled and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll bring you a satisfactory answer next time." She was about to leave when Ling Tianxiao stopped her and asked, "By the way, I have one more question." ”

Sachiko Hojo wondered, "What's the problem?" ”

Ling Tianxiao smiled and said, "Can you let me take a look at your face?" ”

Sachiko Hojo never expected him to make this request, so she was stunned on the spot, and immediately reached out to take off the veil, and said with a smile: "Are you satisfied with this?" Ling Tianxiao looked at it, Hojo Sachiko's skin was fair, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her smile was tempting, and she was really a rare peerless beauty in the world. Ling Tianxiao saw the gods, and after a while, he looked up and laughed. Sachiko Hojo said unhappily: "Does my appearance make you feel ridiculous?" ”

Ling Tianxiao shook his head and said, "No, it's the opposite. He paused, then continued, "If you show your true colors from the beginning, then you don't have to make a deal with me at all, and I will let you go." ”

Sachiko Hojo was puzzled and said, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Ling Tianxiao smiled and said, "A beauty like you who has captivated the country and the city, if I really kill you, wouldn't it make the men of the world feel sorry, so that I will be the enemy of the men of the world?" ”

Hojo Sachiko's eyes were round, and she immediately smiled, her face showed a flush, she glanced at him charmingly, and said with a smile: "I thought you were very serious." ”

Ling Tianxiao smiled and said, "I'm just an ordinary person, and since I am an ordinary person, of course I like beauties." He glanced around and advised, "You better leave quickly, I just fought you, I don't know if anyone noticed." ”

Sachiko Hojo bowed her head and said, "Thank you for not killing." She swept backwards, with a light effort, stepped lightly on the roof tiles, and disappeared into the night sky in an instant.

Ling Tianxiao looked at her departing shadow, put the Zixiao Sword back on his waist, and went to Shangguan Xian's other courtyard. Except for two servants with swords guarding outside, the courtyard was quiet, only a few stone lamps in the courtyard flickered and flickered.

Ling Tianxiao made a light effort, avoiding people's eyes and ears and entering the hospital, it was a trivial matter. He opened the window suddenly, and rolled inside, where there was a faint candlelight on the table, and beside it was a basin of water and folded clothes.

Ling Tianxiao approached the bed, and when he lifted the curtain, Shangguan Xian had already woken up, sat up and looked at him sideways, and said softly, "This time you finally didn't break your promise." ”

Ling Tianxiao gently stroked her smooth cloud temples, from top to bottom, slowly reached her slender waist, and said in a low voice: "I didn't say goodbye three years ago, and I hope you can be an adult and ignore the villain." ”

Shangguan Xian glanced at him affectionately, and said with a smile: "Then it depends on your sincerity." ”

Ling Tianxiao smiled and said, "I will sacrifice my life to accompany you tonight, and I will never let you down." ”

Shangguan Xian was not an untrained woman, she knew very well the meaning of his words, her cheeks suddenly flushed, and she hung her head shyly. Ling Tianxiao was so moved that he was about to stretch out his hand and approach in a big way, but unexpectedly, Shangguan Xian pushed him away, gave him a blank look and said, "You, you are full of wine, don't just climb into my bed like this." He stretched out his finger and pointed to the basin of water on the table, and ordered, "I asked my subordinates to fetch this water, you go and wash your face first." ”

Ling Tianxiao seemed to be disgusted and happy when he heard her speak, knowing that she was not angry, he got up without thinking and went to the water basin. He untied his clothes, and in a short time, he wiped his body again. Seeing Ling Tianxiao's whole body like this, Shangguan Xian's eyes froze, looking intently at his sturdy chest and broad tiger back, and he couldn't help but look blushing. Immediately, she remembered something, and suddenly said: "There is a set of clothes I knitted on the table, you see if it fits, I am good to modify it for you." ”

Ling Tianxiao sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile: "Anyway, we have to turn off the lights and rest, why do we need to change into gorgeous clothes?" ”

Shangguan Xian's delicate body trembled slightly, her jade face was shining, and she said coquettishly: "You are not serious, I won't talk to you." "Shangguan Immortal, who used to look indifferent in the eyes of his subordinates, is now showing this girlish and delicate appearance, which is really amazing.

Lonely men and widows, living in the same room, Ling Tianxiao does not intend to be a gentleman. He moved forward a little, and after his eyes wandered for a while, he reached out with both hands and picked her up.

Shangguan Xian just symbolized the struggle, and let him do it.

In the early morning of the next day, at the end of the day, Shangguan Xian's usual personal flowers and Wan'er came to the door and said in unison: "Miss, flowers and Wan'er greet you." ”

Shangguan Xian had just woken up, his spirit was still in a trance, he didn't think so much for a while, and lazily responded: "Come in." As soon as these words came out, she was stunned on the spot, and instantly woke up, because Ling Tianxiao was sleeping next to her.

Shangguan Xian secretly exclaimed, and was about to open his mouth to intercept them from coming in, but it was too late, and the two girls had already entered the room. As usual, they put down the changing basin and said, "Miss, please get out of bed and change your clothes." Their voices also woke Ling Tianxiao, he grabbed Shangguan Xian's waist and glanced at her, signaling her to remain silent and not show her feet.

There were bedposts and tents on the outside of the stepping bed, and the two women couldn't see the situation inside, so they didn't notice Ling Tianxiao's existence, so they could only wait outside.

Shangguan Xian took a deep breath and pretended to be calm: "You two go out first, I'm still a little embarrassed." If these words came out of other people's mouths, it would not be unusual, but Shangguan Xian has always walked in a regular manner on weekdays, and the sun rises, which makes Hua'er can't help but show a puzzled look, and asks lightly: "Could it be that the eldest lady is a little uncomfortable?" ”

Wan'er chimed in: "Why don't you call the doctor?" ”

Shangguan Xianden was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "No, you go out and wait outside." ”

Hua'er was still a little uneasy, stepped forward, and asked, "Miss, are you really not careful?" As the voice approached, Shangguan Xianda frowned, she wanted to retreat from them, but she couldn't bear it, after all, they didn't make a mistake.

At this critical moment, Granny Shen suddenly stepped into the house and said to the two girls: "Hua'er and Wan'er, it seems that there is a shortage of manpower in the kitchen today, you two will go to help first, and I will be in charge of the eldest lady." ”

Hua'er and Wan'er looked at each other, although they always felt that something was wrong, but Granny Shen was the general manager of the Chivalrous Villa, and her order was equivalent to Shangguan Shaoyang in the eyes of her subordinates.

After Granny Shen saw them leave, she walked to the side of the bed and said indifferently, "Miss, it's okay anymore." She continued: "The master wants me to inform you and Ling Gongzi to go to the main hall. ”

Shangguan Immortal bowed his head and said, "I understand." ”

Granny Shen pondered for a long time, as if she knew that Ling Tianxiao was inside, and continued: "By the way, Ling Gongzi, that Xing girl who came with you seems to be looking for you everywhere. ”
