There is a pleasant piano sound coming out of the house, high and clear.

The middle-aged man from the Provincial Government Office walked to a corner gate in the courtyard and stopped to listen for a while.

It wasn't until the sound of the piano changed, like a bright lake under the moon, reflecting the brilliance, and a faint sadness and sweetness permeated, bringing peace from the heart, that he pushed the door and entered the courtyard.

The courtyard is full of babbling water, cascading trees, and winding paths.

And at the end of the path, in the light smoke and willows, there is a delicate and transparent octagonal pavilion.

In the pavilion sat a girl dressed in men's clothes, she wore a scarf on her head, played a guqin, lit a stove of sandalwood next to the piano, and there were two tall and burly men behind her as guards.

The middle-aged man didn't dare to approach the Octagonal Pavilion, so he stopped from a distance, and waited until the sound of the piano disappeared before bowing and saying:

"Miss...... No, Childe, the hidden members of the 'Four Fierce Halls' in the state city, except for those handed over to the Taoist Bureau, have all been ambushed, including the incense master who disguised himself as the Li family's steward.

"Although he got the news in advance, he was still captured by the 'Lux' you gave me his soul."

The girl dressed as a man coughed lightly, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Very good! I'm very satisfied with how it was done this time...... You also have to learn more from the Taoist officials of Yumen County, and strive to dig out more miscellaneous pieces of the 'Four Murder Hall'. ”

"Yes, Childe...... However, this incense master in the state city is not like that Xie Shuyi, and his soul must be polluted by demons and evils, and there are prohibitions...... I applied to use the 'Yellow Sky Banner' to shield the snooping of demons. The middle-aged man pleaded.

"Yes." The boy and girl bowed slightly, then coughed violently a few times, and after wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, she turned to command, "According to the information, Xie Shuyi also has a brother named Xie Zhongchi, who seems to have entered Feiyun Mountain in Shaanzhou and become his inner disciple?"

"You just sent someone to get rid of him.

"What the Xie family has done has lost his conscience, and he is not innocent!"

The middle-aged man frowned, and said after deliberation: "Although Feiyun Mountain has declined in recent years and has lost the only Dongxuan True Person, the background is still there, and there is an illusion magic weapon in the door to suppress it, will it be too much to kill their inner disciples so directly?"

"It's better to go to the head of the faction first and explain one or two before you do it."

"Humph! The miscellaneous pieces of the demon family, kill it! Does Feiyun Mountain still dare to come to me for a theory? Perhaps because of the excitement, the boy and girl coughed for a while, and only after a long time did they vomit a mouthful of blood in the handkerchief, which was bright red and hideous.

The middle-aged man didn't dare to reply when he saw this, so he hurriedly lowered his head.

"Don't be afraid, I'm still relieved that you can do something." After the boy and girl adjusted their aura a little, they turned to say, "By the way, this time, the evil slayer who first discovered the Xie family's problem and interrogated the key information should be rewarded......

"Although this is the credit of the sister of the Zheng family...... But without him, the Zheng family's sister would not have gone to Black Wind Castle.

"Well, I sent a message to the 'Huang Thirteen' of the Jade Gate, asking him to help me prepare a gift for the evil slayer."

"Yes, Childe."

After the middle-aged man left, the man and woman took a pill, and then stroked the piano and played music again, adjusting their bodies with music.

"There is still a period of time before the lamp runs out...... 'Four Murder Hall', I will try my best to eradicate you tumors in the limited remaining life!"

……

At the entrance of the underground passage of the Black Wind Castle, after Zhao Chen guided a group of soldiers into it, he became a shopkeeper, only accumulating true qi and practicing swordsmanship.

Anyway, the most valuable things in it were already in his pocket, and he didn't need to compete with others for oil and water.

At this time, it has been three days since Yan Hongxia arrived at Black Wind Castle, and all kinds of house raiding and evidence collection work are nearing the end, and the Xie family's property has basically been divided among all parties, and only the ownership of the oasis of Black Wind Fort is still disputed.

But this is none of Zhao Chen's business, after all, even if this oasis city is given to him, he can't hold it with his strength on the surface.

Just when he was bored practicing the "Early Yang Sword Technique", he saw a man in armor walking over.

He was seven feet tall and dignified, and he was accompanied by a tall, burly man.

This person is a commander of the officers and soldiers of Yumen County, named Ji Xin, who has the strength to open the four tricks, and can be regarded as a young talent in the county.

Especially since he doesn't have a strong background behind him, he can become a commander, all by personal merit accumulation, and he doesn't have a good impression of Zhao Chen, a guy who directly became a nine-grade Taoist official by relying on Yan Hongxia and is at the same level as him.

And as soon as he saw this person, Zhao Chen knew that trouble was coming, because this Ji Xin didn't look down on himself, and seemed to be a little careful about Yan Hongxia.

This can be seen from the fact that he can say a word to Yan Hongxia, get a word of praise, and be overjoyed.

And he is rumored to be Yan Hongxia's little lover, and even often talks and laughs with her in the past few days......

In short, Zhao Chen felt that this kid's eyes were becoming more and more dangerous when he looked at him, and he didn't hold back any good farts when he came over today.

Ji Xin did look at Zhao Chen more and more unpleasantly, and wanted to find an excuse to teach him a lesson, but he was not a fool, and he had naturally heard of the feat of the other party's sword beheading Liu Hong and more than ten horse thieves in the past few days.

He was not sure of victory, and he was worried that he would dislike Yan Hongxia, so he never made a move.

But today is different...... Because I hired a helper, I didn't fault anything afterwards.

Ji Xin's face showed a sinister smile, and he deliberately said: "Zhao slashing evil envoy, how can you make progress if you practice martial arts alone?" Let my friend be a sparring partner with you. ”

After speaking, he didn't care whether Zhao Chen was ready or not, and said directly to the strong man beside him: "Brother Huang, according to what I said before, you help me teach someone a lesson, and I will help you find the person you are looking for." ”

Hearing this, the strong man looked at Ji Xin with meaningless eyes, nodded and said, "This is what you said." ”

Zhao Chen, who originally wanted to send them away as soon as possible, unexpectedly felt a trace of familiarity when he heard the voice of this strong man, he thought about it seriously, and his mind quickly flashed the figure of the organizer of the Okura Mountain rally, the man who called himself "Golden Lux" and had special habits.

"Yes, a gentleman is hard to chase after a horse!" Ji Xin replied very happily.

But the next moment, he suddenly screamed, because his hands, arms, and even thighs were blistered as if they had been scalded by boiling water.

"Well, I've taught you a lesson...... You're good to go! The strong man said with a smile.

Before the words fell, Ji Xin seemed to suddenly lose control of his body, screaming miserably, while walking towards the lake by himself, and jumped directly into the water.

After doing this, the tall man looked at Zhao Chen and said with a smile, "Childe asked me to bring you a gift." ”
