In the central and southern cities, it rains. The rain soaked the streets, roofs and eaves, and the ground was covered with stagnant water, occasionally mixed with a dead leaf or two. In this weather, there are no people in the streets and alleys, except for a few inns with lanterns hanging in front of their doors, which emit a faint light.

The inner side hall of the Yellow Mansion.

The seventh floor of the Huangfu dungeon. If you want to enter here, you have to pass eighteen checkpoints, and the lower the dungeon, the more dangerous the checkpoints set up, and there are even a few masters of the Huangfu who are guarding it, after all, the people detained here are all people who have offended the Huangfu.

A man in black walked through the many checkpoints with a token in his hand, and came to the iron gate of the seventh dungeon, where two disciples of the Huangfu of the Dizi generation were guarding, and after seeing the comer, he opened the iron door without saying a word, and retreated to the side, the man in black ignored them and strode into the dungeon.

The dungeon on the seventh floor is very large, the dungeon is dark and damp, the candlelight is dim, and the smell of mildew and blood is everywhere. In several cells lay a stone bed, on which three bodies lay on the stone bed. The bodies were all dead, their faces pale as paper, their eyes closed. At the end of the dungeon, a man was bound in chains, with a wooden shackle on his head, and a tight bronze mask on his face, and he could not see clearly, whether he was awake or asleep.

"Young Master, I haven't seen you for a long time." The man in black said in a deep voice.

The imprisoned man moved slightly, and the chains that bound the wooden shackles around his head made a metallic crash, and then a voice with almost no emotion sounded: "Old Huang is here, what are you doing?" ”

"It's worthy of the eldest young master, I thought I could control the situation in Zhongnan City, but I didn't expect that the eldest young master would actually have a hand." The man in black sneered, "How do you want to introduce the killer of Xuanwu Pavilion into Zhongnan City, the eldest young master is calculating." Because of their arrival, the whole situation seems to be starting to get messed up now. ”

I only heard the man snort coldly: "Then Huang Lao should kill me directly, so what the situation under Huang Lao Bu is going to have nothing to do with me." In this way, isn't it more in line with Huang Lao's heart? ”

"You want me to kill you? Yes. Tell me that secret. The man in black smiled, "It's a fair deal, I've told the eldest young master a long time ago." ”

"Then I told you a long time ago, even if the Yellow Mansion falls, I won't tell you that secret."

"Hahaha, it's good, it's worthy of being the eldest young master." The man in black was not angry, "But don't think that you have messed me up with this move, since you chose to introduce the Xuanwu Pavilion, then you should also understand that as a killer organization, their purpose is only to pursue profits." As long as there are greater interests, Xuanwu Pavilion can change someone they support at any time. ”

Changbai Teahouse.

The owner of the photo gallery held a handwritten letter in his hand, and he shook it slightly: "Soldiers first and then salute, the people of Huangfu are also quite interesting." Yesterday he was desperately chasing and killing us, but today he has sent a message to ask for peace. ”

Xu Fuquan frowned and said, "They have already found here?" ”

"It's not. The Huang Mansion still knew that there were people from the Xuanwu Pavilion in Zhongnan City, but they didn't know that the Changbai Teahouse was our stronghold, how could it be so easy to find the Xuanwu Pavilion, but it was not difficult to pass the letter to our Xuanwu Pavilion. The owner of the photo gallery said.

"What's on the letter?" Chen Xiuzhe sat on the side and drank the brewed tea, and asked with a smile.

"Huang Qikun, the fifth young master of the Huang Mansion, made an appointment to meet Chen Xiuzhe, the master of the Xuanwu Pavilion, and the executioner of the Xuanwu Pavilion, Xu Fuquan, had important matters to discuss, and met at the Changbei Teahouse in Zhongnan City at the time of Chenshi." The owner of the gallery put the handbook on the side of the candle, and the candle flame instantly lit the handbook, and with a flick of it, the handbook turned into ashes and floated in the hall.

Chen Xiuzhe asked Xu Fuquan: "My Master Xu, what do you think?" ”

"Huang Mansion has nothing to do with our Xuanwu Pavilion, and Huang Qikun and the others have never had any contact with our Xuanwu Pavilion, since there is no injustice and no hatred, then why do they have to fight to the death with us? At first, there were only two new masters of Xuanwu Pavilion, and he didn't know very well. But now that the pavilion masters have come to Zhongnan City in person, they naturally feel that such a conflict is unnecessary. Xu Fuquan replied.

Chen Xiuzhe shook his head and said: "No, no, no, this is not my credit, I guess they don't know that I have also come, this letter is just a temptation for them to us, after all, the two of us have always appeared at the same time all these years." For the time being, let them choose not to be our enemy, or because you are in the Baiya Mountain outside the city of Zhongnan, showing the power of your killing technique. ”

Xu Fuquan frowned slightly and looked outside the house: "So tomorrow's morning tea, will you go?" ”

Chen Xiuzhe put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Someone has invited me to tea, I naturally want to go, but I am not going as the master of Xuanwu Pavilion this time, I am just a small guard beside my master of the Xu Sect." ”

Xu Fuquan smiled helplessly: "What crooked idea are you thinking about?" ”

"You always have to meet them, at least you have to make sure that Hezhu is safe first." Chen Xiuzhe said lazily, "Second goods, you said that in the hearts of those people in the Yellow Mansion, would our Xuanwu Pavilion be the kind of organization that fell into mercenary?" They chose to meet with us, do they think that since we can talk about an alliance with Huang Qiankun, then now, we can naturally form an alliance with them. Because according to my guess, Huang Qiankun was either killed by them or trapped by them. ”

Xu Fuquan's fingers lightly tapped his legs: "Then you say, is our Xuanwu Pavilion a mercenary organization?" ”

"Yes." Chen Xiuzhe smiled and nodded sincerely

"......" Xu Fuquan shook his head helplessly.

"But what is profit, how to get there. Everyone's criteria are different. Chen Xiuzhe looked at the owner of the pavilion, "Owner of the pavilion, are you right?" ”

The owner of the pavilion was stunned: "Why did the pavilion master suddenly ask me?" ”

"Don't worry, I didn't doubt you. I've only recently watched you play that sand crab, and sometimes you can win, but why don't you follow along. Chen Xiuzhe stood up, stretched out his hand and grabbed it lightly in the air, "Because there are greater benefits." Once the benefits are big enough, then I won't sit idly by. ”
