Chapter 4: Spring (4)

Inside the Kishika Building.

A scrawny man was lying on a soft couch, and two good-looking women were beside him.

Zhao Rihu and Zhao Riming knelt on the ground, their heads hanging down to their chests, and they didn't dare to come out, their bodies trembling slightly.

"You almost took Xu Fuquan, didn't you?" The man's voice was hoarse, sounding like a young man, but it made people involuntarily want to surrender.

"Yes, if it weren't for Chen Xiuzhe's bastard appearing, we would have succeeded!" Zhao Riming replied respectfully.

With a "bang", the man picked up a delicate blue and white porcelain teacup next to the soft couch and threw it on the ground.

This frightened Zhao Rihu and Zhao Riming, and their faces turned pale, and they even became cautious in their breathing.

"It's this Chen Xiuzhe who is hurting me again, it's really nerve-wracking." The man sat up straight and rubbed the corners of his forehead, "I didn't think about this mission for me, I should go with me, you guys get up." ”

Zhao Rihu and Zhao Riming breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that this person would not punish them, and hurriedly got up and retreated to the side.

"Now that the pavilion master has half stepped in front of the ghost gate, the three doors all have the idea of wanting to change, so whoever kills the pavilion master first and gets his waist card to meet the Guan master in front of the Guan Lord's Palace, who is the new pavilion master of Xuanwu Pavilion. So the next action, I don't want to have any mistakes, otherwise ....." The man suddenly threw out the short blade hidden under the soft couch, and directly nailed through the carved window on half of the wooden door, this action shocked the others, "There are friends from afar, I am friendly to each other, but overhearing there, how do you want to die?" The man's voice was cold, and his eyes were staring at the door.

A girl in purple appeared at the door and walked in with a bewitching posture: "The temper of the young master of Changfeng is still so big, and such a good door was broken by you." ”

"Xiang Zimu, what are you doing here?" The man's brow furrowed, and there was a hint of impatience in his tone.

Xiang Zimu sat down elegantly on the tea table, looked at the man lying on the soft couch and said, "What you want, Xiangmen brought it." ”

When Zhao Changfeng heard this, he waved his hand and said, "You all stand down, I have something to say to her." ”

The two women serving on the soft couch quickly withdrew from the room, and then the two brothers, Zhao Rihu and Zhao Riming, also retreated.

"Ahem, just say something." Zhao Changfeng asked directly, he didn't like to beat around the bush.

Xiangzi Mumei smiled, walked over slowly, a pair of jade arms wrapped around his neck, red lips approached, and exhaled like an orchid: "The medicine that the young master wants, Xiangmen has refined." ”

When Zhao Changfeng heard this, his face suddenly became happy: "Where is it, give it to me quickly!" ”

"Don't worry, young master." Xiang Zimu chuckled, "Our sect master said that if you want this medicine, you have to unite with my sect." ”

The joy on Zhao Changfeng's face instantly turned gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "Isn't the master of the Xiangmen afraid that I will swallow the Xiangmen now?" ”

"If the Xiangmen is swallowed, I don't know how long the young master will live?" Xiang Zi Mujiao smiled, her fingers drawing circles on his chest.

Zhao Changfeng was silent for a moment, "The matter of unity, after I tell my father, let's talk about it." ”

"The little woman will wait three days." Xiang Zimu stood up, tidied up his clothes, and then jumped and left Anxiang Building.

"Young master, do you need to keep up?" Zhao Riming, who had been waiting outside, walked in and asked.

"No, you don't." Zhao Changfeng waved his hand, "I've seen Xiangmen light work, she wants to run, no one can catch up, let's solve Xu Fuquan first." ”

After leaving the courtyard, Xu Fuquan walked through a forest, there was a stable not far in front of him, but before he got close to the stable, he smelled a trace of blood wafting out of it, and couldn't help frowning, and walked quickly towards the stable, and found that the good horse prepared in advance had already been killed, and there was a note on the back of the horse's corpse, on which the word "Xiuzhe" was written.

Xu Fuquan finally understood that Chen Xiuzhe's purpose was to try his best to hold him back, so that he could not protect the pavilion master.

Thinking of it, Xu Fuquan set off again to a nearby inn to find a fast horse and return to the pavilion master as soon as possible.

But after walking more than 400 zhang, Xu Fuquan still didn't find an inn, and he couldn't help but feel more and more uneasy in his heart, and the hand holding the sword was a little stronger.

At this time, in the distance on the river, a large bamboo raft slowly floated in, and on the bamboo raft, an old man and a young man were playing chess, and the two of them were playing extremely attentively, as if they were not aware of the existence of Xu Fuquan on the shore.

Seeing this, Xu Fuquan immediately flew up, landed on the bamboo raft, and bowed his hand and said, "Old man, is there a horse market nearby?" ”

"If you lose again, it's just a little bit!" The young man wailed, his head tilted back, and his eyes met Xu Fuquan's gaze, "Big brother, who are you?" ”

Xu Fuquan asked: "In Xia Xufu, when you first come here, can there be a horse market nearby?" ”

The old man picked up the bamboo cup at his feet and took a sip of tea, before he spoke slowly: "There are mountains nearby, but there is no horse market. But I still have a horse at home. ”

"Please ask the old gentleman to lend me one." Xu Fuquan hurriedly bowed his hand.

"It's okay to borrow a horse, but you have to exchange it for something of value on you." The old man said, put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and slowly walked towards Xu Fuquan.

Hearing this, Xu Fuquan frowned slightly, but after thinking about it, he was also relieved, if he could return to the pavilion master smoothly, then it would be worth it even if he paid any price, so he immediately took off one of the swords on his waist and threw the scabbard to the other party.

The old man took the scabbard, just looked at it slightly, and then threw it back to Xu Fuquan: "This scabbard is good, but it is not enough to exchange with me, I think your time is more worth exchanging." ”

Xu Fuquan was stunned: "What does the old gentleman mean?" ”

"Two moments. As long as the son beats me within two moments, I will lend you the horse. The old man stretched out his hand, and a sunspot had fallen on the chessboard, "Qi'er, you take charge of the boat." ”

"Gotcha."

Xu Fuquan put away his sword, sat upright in front of the chess game, looked at the chessboard with his eyes, thought for a moment, and slowly picked up the white chess pieces and fell.

Thirty-five moves later, the chess game changed, and a strange light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he seemed to underestimate the chess skills of the young man in front of him, and then he no longer retained his strength.

After several games, the old man gradually struggled, and finally Xu Fuquan fell to the last son, ending the game.

"Yes, you're good." The old man looked at the layout on the chessboard and praised with a smile, "In the future, you must be unknown to everyone in the world." ”

Xu Fuquan shook his head: "The old gentleman is serious, everything he does is something that cannot be seen, how dare he be called a king." ”

This will be revealed later. Okay, since the old man has failed, he should also fulfill his promise. If you go down the hill a short distance, you will see a white horse tethered to a tree. The old man gestured to the dense forest below the hillside.

"Old man, goodbye." Xu Fuquan got up and thanked the other party, then jumped up and left the bamboo raft and hurried in the direction pointed by the old man.

The old man watched Xu Fuquan go away, and then stretched out his hand and waved, all the chess pieces on the chessboard were shattered, and a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth: "Young man, when you become a king, we will meet ourselves." ”

After about a stick of incense, Xu Fuquan came to the hillside that the old man said, and really saw a white horse waiting quietly under the tree......
