Just half an hour ago, this strange man in blue was still on the other side of Xixuan, just stepping into the dilapidated temple where a small twist and turn had occurred last night.

The ruined temple was dirty and full of traces of fighting, the curtains had been torn off, the iron pots and unburned firewood were scattered crookedly on the ground, and there was a faint trail of blood in the messy footsteps outside the temple, deep into the woods.

It snowed not long ago in western Xinjiang, and the snow melted, leaving the ground soft, leaving deep and shallow traces. He walked out of the ruined temple, followed the horse's hooves and rut marks on the ground, and imagined that in the silent and dark night, there was a carriage that had stopped here, and when the people who were waiting for it, they began to walk again, a cart, a string of people, exactly the same scene in the downtown of Xixuan.

However, as he walked, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, stopped and took a few steps back, and found a pair of faint footprints diverging elsewhere, not big steps, and in a panic.

He looked in the direction in which the carriage was going, turned around, and chose another path.

Half an hour later, he arrived.

As soon as he arrived, he saw an adult man with a gloomy face with blood on his waist and a thin child with a muddy face and a knife in one hand.

The two stood facing each other, keeping a short distance, and behind them lay four children of the same size, no movement, life and death unknown.

This scene can be easily judged by anyone, especially at this time, when the little boy suddenly shouts at him: "Big brother, help! A pair of eyes were black and white, pitiful, and the voice and the hand holding the knife trembled slightly with fear and panic.

The man's brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately moved, quickly and accurately avoiding the fireball falling overhead, and walked towards the little boy. The little boy saw the savior, and the innocent eyes showed a ray of hope, and even shed tears of excitement, but before the tears could fall, he suddenly retreated sharply between the lightning and flint, and hit the red-hot iron railing, burning his whole body to a convulsion, and almost shedding tears of despair.

He didn't expect the man to walk up to him, his face full of tenderness and worry, but he suddenly attacked him.

He held his left hand, which was almost broken, and his face was slightly distorted with anger: "What are you doing! ”

The man played with the knife he snatched from his hand, still with a caring look: "It's too dangerous for children to play with knives, big brother will help you keep it first." ”

He was resentful and aggrieved: "The big brother took my knife, I can't protect myself, if you help me solve this little brother first, then it doesn't matter if this knife is given to the big brother." ”

The man pondered: "Why do you think I will help you, don't you think that I and this little brother have known each other since then, and they are all the way?" ”

The little boy shook his head, a pair of dark and translucent eyes were well-behaved and smart: "No, the big brother doesn't know this little brother, and if you come down to look at him, it means that you don't know him." ”

The man nodded, feeling that he made a lot of sense: "I know a lot at a young age, so do you think I know you?" ”

The little boy tilted his head, as if thinking, "Oh, does the big brother know me?" ”

The man also tilted his head and smiled softly and amiably, like a brother who wanted to buy sugar gourds: "Of course I know, little ~ black ~ crow ~"

When the little boy heard the last three words, his pupils shrank suddenly, revealing a fierce and gloomy gaze that he had never seen before, and his face full of innocence just now instantly became eerie and terrifying, and even the original child's voice became a deep adult man's voice, indescribably weird and terrifying: "Who are you?" ”

"Guess? Guess right, I'll tell you. ”

The knife in the man's hand flashed, and he suddenly attacked.

The crow dodged sideways, he was short and moved extremely fast, but he was still pressed by the man step by step, suppressed step by step, and there was almost no way to retreat.

"Damn!" How could this person know his identity, and what is even more terrifying is that he seems to know his martial arts, which makes him unable to move at all, and he has been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has never known that there is such a person.

Another knife, if this continues, he will not only become a dead crow, but also a roasted crow, he can only make a dangerous move, regardless of the sharp knife on his shoulder, he jumped upward, kicked the wooden board above his head, the wooden board that was already burned to brittle made a crisp sound, and the crow turned around and leaned against the wall with his right foot, like a black arrow swishing through the sea of fire, over the hole, and disappeared without a trace.

"There will be a date later!" The voice came from far away.

The man did not come forward to pursue, but immediately turned around, lifted the two children with his left hand, and pulled out a soft sword from his waist with his right hand, the soft sword was as thin as a cicada's wings, like a gentle lake, but at the moment when the soft sword left his waist, the sword light soared like a full moon river, the tide was surging, breaking the embankment, and breaking through the fire overhead.

Without waiting for him to greet him, Wujiang picked up the other two children and flew up at the same time as him, and swept out of the gap split by the sword qi.

The two landed in the alley not far from Zhu's house, and the man looked back: "Go to ...... first"

He paused suddenly.

The vermilion door, the white wall, the fire behind the sky, as if to burn the sky, boundless standing in the firelight, the clothes are slightly disheveled, the hair is a little messy, the people, skin, masks, and masks are small rolls because of the fire, and the wind blowing through the alley in the afternoon blows gently, and the mottled crispy skin falls off one after another, revealing a white face.

"It's you, Little White Flower."

……

Wujiang sat in the general's mansion, confirming that the child was not worried about his life, and the previous child was also properly taken care of after being treated with injury medicine, her hair was not taken care of, and she was hastily tied, and she was about to leave after explaining what she knew, but was stopped by a man.

She had seen this man, and on the first day she came to Xixuan, she picked a melon at a melon stall, but she never expected to meet again in Zhu's house, let alone that he had a relationship with the General's Mansion and was skilled.

The man said, "There's something else, little white flower." ”

Wujiang didn't know why he always called himself Little White Flower, and he never wore white clothes after waking up, but he didn't ask much, just replied: "Thank you for helping, my name is Yanyan." ”

Who knew that the man was so happy when he heard it, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What a coincidence, your name is Cook, and my name is Xiliu." ”

Wujiang didn't know what was wrong, but he instinctively didn't want to have too much intersection and involvement with the people in the General's Mansion: "I have told all the ins and outs of the whole thing, and I have to ask the General's Mansion to check the rest." ”

He chuckled and shook his head slightly: "It's not about that, I want to ask where you live and let someone from the General's Mansion send you back." ”

Wujiang got up: "Thank you, don't bother the General's Mansion, I'll just go back by myself." After taking a few steps, he remembered something, and stepped back, "That child, you call him Raven, who is he?" ”

He brought her a chair: "Did you know that there is a killer list among the four countries?" ”

Wujiang glanced at the Fox Fur mahogany chair and shook his head as he sat down.

He found a comfortable position: "Do you know the Jiuxiu Pavilion in the rivers and lakes?" ”

Wujiang still shook his head.

He didn't feel the slightest irritation at all about her "ignorance", and patiently explained: "Jiuxiu Pavilion is an organization that specializes in collecting information about the Jianghu court, and has mastered countless secrets, from palace secrets to legends. If you want to know anything, you can spend money to buy it, or if you don't want to be known, you can also spend money to redeem it, and the gratifying thing is that they are very trustworthy, as long as you have money. Legend has it that the heroes of the rivers and lakes and the monarchs of the four kingdoms have spent a lot of money to buy or redeem a lot of news, so ......"

"So the Kushu Pavilion is very rich." Boundless.

He was happy: "Get to the point!" However, in addition to being rich, they also set up a killer list. The killer list is the killer ranking given by Jiuxiu Pavilion according to the intelligence they have gathered, according to the number of people they kill and the status of the people who are killed, the more people they kill, or the higher the status of the people killed, the better the martial arts, the more difficult it is to kill, the higher the ranking, the killer crow, ranked seventh on the list. ”

Wujiang showed a hint of surprise: "Ranked seventh among the four countries, that martial arts should be considered very powerful?" At least in the seventh place among the killers. ”

He gently pushed a cup of tea to Wujiang's hand, and said: "It's not that the better the martial arts, the higher the ranking, of course, the martial arts of the people who can be killers will not be bad, but killing people does not rely only on martial arts, but also on resourcefulness, patience, and your intelligence network, the more information you have, the stronger your analytical ability, and the more appropriate the location and location, the higher the success rate." Some people are good at ambushing, some people are good at poisoning, some people are good at disguise, some people are born with good skin, and a smile makes people lose their resistance, these are not very related to martial arts. The killer crow is because he was born like an innocent child, he will never grow up, he is unguarded, and he has succeeded repeatedly, but his martial arts are not necessarily higher than the tenth-ranked Silver Wing. ”

Wu Jiang was puzzled: "The killer is a secret identity, Jiuxiu Pavilion exposes their identity and ranking in this way, such as letting people know that the killer crow is a little boy, so that everyone will be wary of children, which is very unfavorable to the crow, if all the killers are revealed like this, won't they form a group to destroy Jiuxiu Pavilion?" ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to say next." He changed his posture and moved closer to her, "Jiuxiu Pavilion can stand tall in the rivers and lakes, naturally understands the rules of the rivers and lakes, there is only a name on the list, and he will not reveal any information about the killer, the name is just a code name, it can be anyone, any identity, any face." I know that the killer crow is a boy, and I learned about it by accident not long ago, and it was not revealed by Jiuxiu Pavilion. What Jiuxiu Pavilion shouldn't reveal, never reveal, for example, the name of a domestic killer will never appear on their list. ”

"A domestic killer?" For some reason, Wujiang's heart trembled suddenly when he heard these four words.

"That's another point where I'm going to explain to you that seventh on the killer list is not seventh in martial arts. The killers on this list are only free killers on the rivers and lakes, and do not include domestic killers. Household killers are loyal to an organization or a certain person, swear allegiance to the death, and absolutely follow, their identities are very secret, and they will not appear on the killer list. Freedom killers are more like a profession, like wineries selling wine and selling meat, while they sell heads to make a living. The higher their ranking on the list, the greater their fame, and the more expensive they ask, so not only do they hate this list, but they also like it, not only do they like it, but they also desperately want to get in. If they don't want to do it one day, they can quit at any time, and no one will stop them, as long as they can keep their identities hidden and avoid being chased by the enemy, but it is said that there are very few good deaths. ”

In the process of speaking, Xiliu saw that she didn't drink a sip of the tea in her hand: "Don't like tea? ”

Wujiang glanced at the red and transparent red robe: "Not thirsty." ”

"Are you going to leave again?" He stood up with her.

"It's not early, it's time for dinner in the General's Mansion."

"Do you want to stay and eat together?"

She shook her head slightly: "Someone at home is waiting for me." ”

"Yes." The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he nodded goodbye: "Then goodbye." ”

As soon as Wujiang's front foot left, Yanwu came with his back foot, holding his hands and leaning against the door as if smiling: "Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, I didn't expect you to have today." He sighed for a while, picked up a stool and approached him as if he was beaten up, and looked at it carefully: "It is said that this face is not bad, the nose is the nose, the eyes are the eyes, when I was a child, I was very popular with girls, how to stay in the deep mountains and forests for seventeen years, and then come out and there is no market at all." Yan Wu glanced at the untouched red robe on the table, "Not only did I not find out the address, but I didn't even have the charm to greet the girl for a cup of tea." ”

He did not refute either, as if he was still immersed: "Her hands were white, very tender, like a newborn baby, without blemish. ”

Yanwu's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "It's over, it's over, seventeen years of not being close to women, but being perverted and obscene like this?" ”

He didn't care, and was leisurely: "She doesn't seem to know anything about the rivers and lakes, like a fledgling little girl." ”

Yanwu's hatred of iron is not steel: "Didn't that old antique on the mountain tell you that the women under the mountain are all pretending to be pigs and eating tigers before you go down the mountain?" ”

He didn't seem to hear: "She can't see children being bullied, and she has a soft heart." ”

Yanwu was heartbroken: "Soft-hearted? Didn't you hear what those people described her, 'vicious, ruthless, perverted, and anxious', but then again, there are more soft-hearted women in the world, from the daughter of the peddler's pawn, to the ladies of the small family Jasper, to the princess of the royal court, most of the women don't say that they see the child suffering, but they are distressed when they see the little white rabbit's legs, Xiaoxi, you still have too little experience, and when I am busy with this, I will take you to experience. ”

His eyes narrowed slightly: "She's very conflicted, very funny. ”

"Huh?" , Yanwu really lost to him: "Where is the contradiction...... Where is the ...... interesting"

The slender fingers tapped the armrest rhythmically, the fingertips rubbed, the wood was smooth and delicate, and his eyes darkened slightly: "Her hands are very good-looking, it is impossible for a person who practices martial arts to have such a good-looking pair of hands." ”

Yan Wu immediately understood, spread out his hands, and his palms and fingertips were covered with hard cocoons: "Every weapon, every kind of martial arts, will leave its own mark on the hand, even if everyone is beautiful, practicing calligraphy all year round, the finger side will grind out the cocoon, even if you pamper yourself and do nothing, you must not be as delicate as a child." ”

He picked up the teacup on the table and rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingertips: "It seems that he is ignorant of the world, but he is cautious in his style, does not leak a drop of water, and is full of vigilance against the outside world." ”

Yan Wu looked at the cup of tea in his hand: "I didn't drink a sip, so vigilant is not like a new person in the rivers and lakes, but if it is not for the first time in the rivers and lakes, how can I not know the killer list, even if I don't know the killer list, it is impossible not to know Jiuxiu Pavilion." ”

His eyes slightly turned to the blood-stained cotton cloth in the corner: "She has a soft heart, and she gave her soaked coat to the unconscious child in the fire, but she is also cold, Qi Gen's severed ears, the knife is fast and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation." ”

Yan Wu's eyes gradually deepened: "Such a steady hand is not like the first time to shoot at someone, how is her martial arts?" ”

He shook his head: "I haven't seen her do it with my own eyes, but it's good." ”

Yan Wu said: "I'll send someone to investigate." ”

He raised his hand: "No need, you concentrate on investigating the child's affairs, she should have nothing to do with this matter." ”

Yan Wu glanced at him, the corners of his eyes were crooked, and he suddenly felt interesting: "Yes, it's probably just a nosy woman who came out of nowhere." ”

He and the woman, funny, very funny!
