Luo Shuangyi sat on the terrace and looked out, and the heavy rain curtain enveloped the entire Binzhou City. She leaned against the railing, unconcerned that the hem of her shirt was wet from the splashing rain. Without warning, the door was pushed open, and the sunken boat entered with the smell of damp rain.

"The head of the family has come to Binzhou?" Shen Zhou asked bluntly.

"Hmm." Luo Shuangyi nodded lazily, "Competing with the Mountain Ghost Clan, finding Miss Chu faster than anyone is going to mobilize a lot of people, and your level is not enough." This was agreed upon by the head of the house himself. ”

"Where is he?" Shen Zhou said sharply.

Luo Shuangyi glanced at him lightly, "What are you afraid of?" The head of the house would not kill her, and if he wanted to kill her in the first place, he did not have to save her. ”

However, the Nine Shadows Division was not a good place, and the fact that the Luo family master had a separate appointment with someone other than the Nine Shadows was enough to be unsettling. Shen Zhou knew the nature of the Nine Shadows and Luo Shi's face, and he didn't want or want the ugliness and truth of the Nine Shadows to be exposed in front of Chu Shixia.

"I ask you, where is she?"

Luo Shuangyi sighed irritably and said, "Follow me." ”

——

Teahouse.

"Actually, I can't understand your stubbornness."

Luo Shi sighed faintly: "It's just an assassin, even if Li Qingbai really accepts him as an apprentice, he will be a cheap junior disciple to you." The Chu clan in the clouds has never lacked people who work hard for him, he has been sold to you after all, isn't it good to let him be by my side and make greater profits? ”

"First of all, I don't trust you. Chivalry, forbidden by force. Involving the Jianghu sect in the power struggle of the imperial court is a foolish act in itself. ”

Chu Zhixia leaned back slightly, opened a little distance, and looked at the other party trickily, "Secondly, Jiuyousi really doesn't have the capital to make me believe. A group of assassins who paid for their lives, and those who paid the highest price got it. If I can't afford to pay the price you want, I'll be the next one to die without a place to be buried. ”

Luo Shi smiled slightly, spread his hands and said, "So, I'm going to you to go to the sinking boat." I put the Nine Shadows in his hands, is there any greater sincerity than this? For whom he sacrificed his life and forgot death, and for whom he knew the warmth and coldness of people's hearts, do you really not know? ”

Chu Zhixia clenched his back molars and stared at him deadly.

Luo Shi's reason seems to be very sufficient, since ancient times, the people do not fight with officials, and the mountain ghost clan has found the regent as a backer, and the Luo clan naturally has to compete with it. He seems to be sincere enough, and even as long as Chu Shixia nods, Shen Zhou will be the next head of the Luo clan - in the future, the Mountain Ghost Clan will be annexed, and Shen Zhou will control the entire Nine Shadows.

Chu Zhixia seemed to be suddenly relieved, she took a long breath and asked, "Then what do you want?" ”

Luo Shi didn't seem to expect this question and was stunned for a moment.

"All battles have an end day, and when that day comes, how should the Nine Shadows deal with themselves? Since ancient times, people in Zhao'an have two ends, either they cannot be reused in their lives, or they are 'cunning rabbits die and lackeys cook'. ”

Chu Shixia said: "You want to find support in the imperial court, why don't you choose a famous family, why don't you choose a high-ranking and powerful first assistant?" They have a bigger chance of winning than I do, and you don't even have to hand over the chips of being the head of the house. ”

Luo Shi smiled open-mindedly, "You can ask such a question, doesn't it mean that I didn't choose the wrong person?" ”

Chu Zhixia raised his eyebrows, waiting for his answer for a long time.

"The white wolf with empty gloves is everyone's dream. I am a head trader, and I am also a businessman, and low investment and high income are the dreams of businessmen. I don't work with them, of course, because they can't give me what I want. Luo Shi stared at Chu Zhixia's eyes and said slowly, "Whether it is the first assistant of the cabinet or the emperor's uncle, they can't calm the disaster of this dynasty. What I want is a time of peace. ”

Chu Zhixia's face remained unchanged, and he didn't believe his nonsense one after another.

There are no men and women in the Nine Shadows, not only in the Nine Shadows, but also in the entire rivers and lakes. These people are mixed in the pile of people who do not obey the management of the law and etiquette, except for a very small number of lucky people who are born with strong luck, they can live innocently and innocently, and the grave grass without heart and eyes is already three feet high.

Where there are many people, there are opportunities and crises.

This was Li Qingbai's first lesson to Chu Shixia.

"I know you don't believe it, it's not convincing to say something like that from the mouth of the Assassin leader." Luo Shi shrugged, "No way, that's the reputation of our assassins. ”

"You know I don't believe it, but you still say?"

"I'm not done yet." Luo Shi then said, "In troubled times, human life is worthless. ”

Chu Zhixia looked at him quietly, and this time, Chu Zhixia did not refute him.

"Human life is worthless, who is looking for me to do business?" Luo Shi showed a subtle smile, "Of course, if one day, the assassin doesn't have to kill to live, of course, it's also good." ”

Without waiting for Chu Zhixia to speak, Luo Shi immediately said: "The second half of the sentence was said to me by Shen Zhou. I think he has a point. If the Assassin's sword also has a chance to rust, then it is better for me to grow old in my flower garden in Jiangnan than to live in a pool of blood for the rest of my life. ”

After a long time, Chu Zhixia said, "I have one last question. ”

"Miss Chu, but it's okay to say it."

"Where the hell did you find the sunken boat?" Chu Shixia asked, "Jiangnan, Yanbei, Liaodong or ......"

"I don't know."

Luo Shi said honestly: "The child who was taken away by the Nine Shadows, we will all brainwash him to forget where he came from, and the Nine Shadows is his only destination." In the same year, there were a hundred children who entered the Nine Shadows with Shen Zhou. The only thing I can confirm is that he was born in the seventh year of Jingtai. ”

Chu Zhixia silently clenched his fists.

"When he was brought back by the Assassins, he was still a baby."

——

Shen Zhou and Luo Shuangyi fought.

Luo Shuangyi said that he led Shen Zhou to find Chu Zhixia, but actually took him around and returned to the post house where Chu Zhixia stayed. Shen Zhou was furious, Luo Shuangyi was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the two immediately started to fight until the sky was dark.

Luo Shuangyi is known as the pulse interception hand, and the iron armor on the hand can dissect the heart of a living person during assassination, even if he is unarmed, he can also grasp the acupuncture points of all aspects of the human body. Shen Zhou's swordsmanship is a mixture of Jiuyousi's assassination technique and Li Qingbai's Cangliu Sword, which is varied and unpredictable.

The two fought inextricably, and Yuzhu immediately realized that something was wrong. Without waiting for Yuzhu to go out to find Chu Zhixia's traces, Chu Zhixia had already kicked open the door and walked in.

Drinking the stream of snow swirled horizontally into the middle of the two, like a snow light splitting the two who were inseparable. Shen Zhou and Luo Shuangyi looked at Chu Shixia in unison. Luo Shuangyi had no expression, she was dressed and ready to leave, Shen Zhou wanted to speak and stopped, and she was a little hesitant to step forward.

"This is a post house, not a wilderness. Don't pick a place to go wild? Chu Zhixia said coldly.

"The head of the family ordered, the conversation between Miss Chu and the head of the family is a secret of the Nine Shadows, and no one is allowed to interfere with it." Luo Shuangyi pushed back with straight eyebrows, "Shuangyi has the only way to make this decision." ”

Chu Zhixia waved his hand, signaling her to hurry up and get out, don't be an eyesore here. Luo Shuangyi walked away cleanly, but Shen Zhou hesitated.

"If you don't go with her, come with me." Chu Zhixia pulled out the sword on the ground and said lightly, "I have something to say to you." ”
