Night falls.

Ni Hongye had already drunk four cups of tea in Hong Lie's public house, and she hadn't seen Hong Lie since she was called in the afternoon, and at this time she was more and more sure in her heart that this old man Hong just wanted to delay time and prevent him from attacking the White Tiger Hall at night.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped showing up until now.

Looking at the sky, she felt that the time was almost up, so she planned to go to meet Qin Chuan, but at this moment, Hong Lie pushed open the door with a smile on his face.

"Oh, I'm so busy, I've kept you waiting."

Hong Lie smiled and put the two pots of wine in his hand in front of Ni Hongye, seeing that it meant that he wanted to use these two pots of wine as compensation.

"Huh."

Ni Hongye leaned back, squinted at the other party and said, "What, are you old man Hong planning to use these two pots of wine to get me drunk here?" ”

She knew this kind of wine, this is a rare spiritual wine, cultivators can drink it to increase a small amount of cultivation, and the most important thing is that because this wine is added with some special raw materials, even if it is a cultivator's body, he can feel drunk.

A drink that is very popular among people who practice it.

"You girl, why am I idle and drunk you."

Hong Lie sat down next to her, then took out two wine glasses, filled them in turn, and pushed one of them in front of the latter, "Taste it, this is a good thing that has been treasured for three hundred years." ”

Ni Hongye sniffed her nose, and suddenly a strong aroma of wine came in, which immediately aroused the wine worms in her stomach.

If it was in the past, she would have grabbed the wine jug and poured it with her head up, but now, she has decided that this old man Hong is uneasy and kind, where does she dare to drink the glass of wine in front of her.

Although with her massive amount, even if these two pots of wine are all in her stomach, who is sure that the black-bellied old man next to her has done anything in this wine.

"Forget it, I still have things to do, and it's not too late to drink this wine when I come back."

She slammed her mouth, forcibly suppressing the urge to pick up the cup.

Looking at her vigilant appearance, Hong Lie shook his head, didn't take it to heart, and took the wine glass to his own and drank it all.

"Tsk, good wine, it's really a good thing that has been stored in the cellar for three hundred years, but unfortunately, some people don't take it orally."

Ni Hongye looked at his cheap look, and he really wanted to punch him and beat this stinky old man to death.

"Old man Hong, the bruises in the corners of your eyes have only subsided, don't force me to draw you two more circles."

Seeing that his master and nephew were already on the verge of breaking out, Hong Lie didn't dare to continue to make cheap mistakes, his expression was straight, and he said: "Girl, I can't reveal this matter to outsiders, but in order to prevent you from disrupting the layout we have been planning for a long time, I will tell you all the reasons for the matter today." ”

"However, you must ensure that my next words will come from my mouth and listen to you, and I will never let a third person know about it."

After speaking, he looked at Ni Hongye, and the latter looked at the serious expression on his face that he had never seen before, but he couldn't help but move in his heart.

In her impression, this uncle is an old child, he likes to tease her when he has nothing to do, and he always looks black, and it is the first time in so many years that she has seen such a serious expression on this uncle's face.

I have to say that this uncle is serious, and he is really quite bluffing.

Especially the face of the national character, it has a bit of a feeling of facing the sect master.

"Old man Hong, don't worry, there will definitely be no third person who knows about our conversation today."

It wasn't until Ni Hongye nodded in assurance that the seriousness on Hong Lie's face disappeared.

He first drained the spirit wine in the cup before he said: "The matter starts with the Jiazi Demon Swing sixty years ago, the world thinks that the reason why the Jiazi Demon can happen is because the disciple of that small sect accidentally killed the descendants of the Demon King, but in fact, it is not. ”

"According to our investigation, a small part of the cause of the Jiazi Demon may be due to this matter, but the biggest reason is that the hidden Nine Babies continue to intensify the contradictions between the two clans."

"What! Nine babies! ”

Ni Hongye suddenly exclaimed, and looked at Hong Lie on the side in disbelief.

"Old man Hong, the nine babies in your mouth, but five hundred years ago, they were the nine babies of the two worlds of disasters and demons?"

"Exactly." Hong Lie nodded.

"How is it possible, haven't they all been wiped out?" Ni Hongye couldn't believe it.

Five hundred years ago, there were no ten major sects in the south, and there was no current Daqian Dynasty, at that time, there was only one voice in the south, and that was the Nine Infants.

According to the records in the book, Jiuying at that time had hundreds of thousands of members, and these people acted domineering and ruthless, and did not take those small forces in their eyes at all.

For a long time, the people of the southern realm lived in dire straits, and a large number of people were killed and injured every day, just because those members of the Nine Infants needed blood to practice, especially the blood of children.

Later, as the first emperor of the Daqian Dynasty stood up against the atrocities of Jiuying, various oppressed forces in the south rose up one after another.

On one side is the powerful Nine Infants, and on the other side is the resistance force of the people, and the two sides launched a ten-year conquest on the southern border, and it is said that at that time, the great rivers were dyed red with blood.

In the end, after paying a terrible price, many rebel forces finally eradicated the Nine Babies in the southern realm, and it was precisely because of the war that lasted for ten years that the Terrans began to be hostile to the demons.

Because there were half of the demons among the nine infants at that time, and it was these demons who brought great casualties to the rebels, so after the establishment of the Daqian Dynasty, they began to expel and strangle the demons in the territory.

However, Ni Hongye couldn't understand how Old Man Hong could mention the power of the Nine Babies in a dignified manner, could it be that the Nine Babies had revived?

Hong Lie shook his head and said: "I used to have the same idea as you, I thought that the original war had completely destroyed the Nine Infants, but it wasn't until I became an elder and was appointed to the imperial court by the sect master that the Nine Babies were not completely destroyed. ”

"At that time, the ancestors had no spare strength to track down these fish that slipped through the net, so in order to stabilize people's hearts, they said to the outside world that they had completely wiped out the nine infants."

"And after the establishment of the Daqian Dynasty and the development of the major forces, when I wanted to track down the remnants of the Nine Infants, I couldn't find any trace of them at all."

"It wasn't until the Jiazi Demon Swing sixty years ago that the imperial court found the traces of the Nine Infants again, but before the forces of all parties could make a move, they disappeared again."

"Until some time ago, the imperial court once again found traces of the activities of the nine infant remnants, this time in order not to startle the snake, the imperial court set up a demon slaying division, seemingly to deal with demons, but its fundamental purpose is to round up the nine infant remnants."

"And the disappearance of the children you mentioned earlier, we naturally knew about it for a long time, and we also knew that these missing children were the handiwork of the Nine Infants, and the reason why we rejected your proposal was because we were afraid of startling the snake."

"But don't worry, the layout of the imperial court has been basically completed, as long as the time comes, none of those nine infants will be able to escape."

Listening to his explanation, Ni Hongye finally knew what was going on, no wonder he started beating people, Old Man Hong didn't compromise, it turned out that he had such a stubble in it.

"In other words, the hidden forces I suspected before were those Nine Infant Remnants?"

Hong Lie bowed his head and said, "That's right. ”

"Then the reason why you are telling me this today is actually to prevent me from going to the White Tiger Hall, so as not to disrupt your layout?"

"Yes." Hong Lie nodded again.

"That means that the White Tiger Hall is actually the power of the Nine Infants?"

This time, Hong Lie didn't nod, "According to the current situation, the White Tiger Hall should have nothing to do with the Nine Infants, but I suspect that there should be the Nine Infants' remnants hidden in the White Tiger Hall." ”

His suspicions are not unreasonable, although the Nine Infant Remnants are still strong, but the current Daqian Dynasty is no longer something that he can compete with, so the Nine Infant Remnants do not dare to act in a big way, but they will definitely secretly infiltrate the various forces in Blackwater City.

In fact, he not only suspected the White Tiger Hall, he even suspected that the ten major sects and the imperial court had hidden stakes of the Nine Infants.

Ni Hongye looked out of the window, which was already as dark as ink, and couldn't help frowning, and asked tentatively.

"Well, if a conflict breaks out in the White Tiger Hall, will it arouse the suspicion of the Nine Infant Remnants hidden in it?"

"Huh?"

Hong Lie just wanted to take a sip of spiritual wine to moisten his throat, and when he heard her ask, he immediately wrinkled his forehead into a Sichuan shape.

What's up?

I've said so much, do you still want to go to the White Tiger Hall to make a fuss?

Could it be that I just said it all in vain?

"Girl, don't you understand what I just said?" Hong Lie suppressed the urge to beat people, and said earnestly: "Now that it has reached a critical time, we can't allow any accidents to happen, although there is a high probability that the nine infants in the White Tiger Hall will not have any suspicions, but just in case, it is better not to make trouble in the White Tiger Hall." ”

Then, he waved his hand again and said, "That's it, if it's a girl, you really just look at the White Tiger Hall is unhappy, and when this matter is over, Uncle Shi and I will personally go to the White Tiger Hall and bring you what Li Yunxiang is, and then let you have grievances and revenge, what do you think?" ”

"Old man Hong, you misunderstood me, am I the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation?"

Ni Hongye shook his head, indicating that you have wronged people.

"Yes, our girl is the most sensible."

Although Hong Lie said so on his lips, in his heart, he had to leave his mouth behind his ears, so you still take care of the overall situation? I'm afraid you don't have some misunderstanding of the words "taking care of the overall situation".

Ni Hongye naturally didn't know what Honglie was thinking, and she didn't have time to think about it.

"Uncle Shi, I have something to tell you, don't be angry."

Listening to Ni Hongye's uncle's voice, as well as her somewhat weak tone, Hong Lie suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, he heard the other party say: "Actually, if nothing else, Qin Chuan should have sneaked into the White Tiger Hall at this time, and even if he was in a hurry, he would probably have already done it." ”
