The water pavilion passed through the bustling street, turned into a small alley with no people, and suddenly turned its face, and its eyes lit up.

"Two, you've been sneaking around behind me for a long time, I don't know what you're doing?" said Shui Xie coldly. For the people who follow him, it must be a bad intention, and he has never had a good feeling.

Moreover, Shui Xie swept his eyes and found that the cultivation of these two people was not below him, so he became more vigilant in his heart.

The two people dressed as merchants saw that Shui Xie had already discovered that the two of them were following him, and one of them smiled wryly, hugged his fists and said: "Childe, we are not treacherous, but we have come to protect Childe secretly on the orders of the superiors." ”

"Oh, protect me, who are you behind it, why are you doing this, and what use do I have for him?" Shui Xie noticed that the two of them did not look like they were lying, so he continued to ask.

Shui Xie had a lot of doubts in his heart, he was unfamiliar with Zhongzhou, and he had no relatives, he would not believe that someone would kindly send two masters to protect him.

The other person showed embarrassment on his face, and said helplessly: "Childe, it's not that the two of us don't want to say it, but the boss strictly ordered us to reveal any news to you, you just kill us now, and we won't say anything you want to know." ”

Shui Xie clenched his fists and sneered: "Well, since you don't want to say it, I will kill you and fulfill your loyalty to the master." ”

As soon as Shui Xie said that, his whole body was shaken, and powerful internal force fluctuations erupted from his body!

Seeing that Shui Xie looked like he was about to make a move, the two on the opposite side hurriedly retreated, bowed down and clenched his fists: "Childe, please don't be impulsive, but we have received an order, and we can't do anything to Childe no matter what! Childe is cutting us with a thousand knives at this time, and we won't fight back!"

"It seems that you really have a hard time, but I don't like others to follow me!" Shui Xie saw the performance of the two, and now basically believed what they said, but such an inexplicable tailgating still made Shui Xie feel very unhappy, "You go back and tell your master that I have received his heart, don't send people to trouble me again." Don't think that I really won't kill you unless your master himself appears. ”

"Haha, this little friend's temper is not small!" A hearty laugh came from the corner of the alley, and then a dark green eight-lift sedan chair slowly appeared at the end of the alley.

The eight sedan chair bearers all have steady steps, the size of the steps is the same, the eyes are blazing, the muscles are bulging, and the whole body is full of internal force fluctuations, obviously all of them are warriors!

Shui Xie was extremely surprised in his heart, knowing that his state of mind cultivation had reached the late stage of similarity between heaven and earth, and the person who came could silently conceal his divine sense detection, it could be seen that his cultivation was unfathomable! What was even more terrifying was that this person had also helped his eight palanquin men to hide their breath, so that they did not find out!

"Stop. The voice of the person in the sedan chair was loud, and the eight sedan chair drivers heard the master's command, stopped their steps together, and then gently unloaded the sedan chair from their shoulders and put it on the ground, without making a sound.

The sedan curtain was opened, and an old man in good spirits walked out, looking at his age, he had to be seventy or eighty years old, although his hair was all white, but there was no trace of old age, he was tall, his face was ruddy, his back was straight, and he stood in front of the water pavilion, like a mountain towering.

Seeing this scene, the look of surprise in Shui Xie's eyes flashed, and he knew that the person in front of him must be very big, and he was not something that he could compete with at present, so he asked in a deep voice: "May I ask if the senior is the person behind him who wants to protect him?"

"Haha, Xiaoyou doesn't have to be so nervous, the old man has absolutely no ill will towards Xiaoyou. The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's report to my family, the old man He Niandong, the current governor of Zhongzhou." ”

The Governor of Zhongzhou? The Dagao Dynasty had a total of seven states, that is, there were seven governors, who held the military and political power of a state, and among the seven states, the governor of Zhongzhou had the greatest real power. Shui Xie would never have thought that the current governor of Zhongzhou would find him, could it be that he was appointed by the crown prince Gao Shengtian?

"How can I believe what you say?" The Governor of Zhongzhou is too big to believe in this kind of identity.

Looking at Shui Pavilion's puzzled look, He Niandong smiled heartily and threw his portable sword directly to Shui Pavilion.

The water pavilion took it and saw that this golden sword was tattooed with a lifelike dragon, piercing through the clouds and entering the sea, and a domineering spirit of commanding the world emerged from the sword body!

"The imperial gift of Shang Fang's sword, the upper beheading of the stunned monarch and the ministers, the lower beheading of the evil bandits and traitors, the entire Dagao Dynasty, this is the only one. Although He Niandong's tone was indifferent, there was a pride in his expression that could not be concealed.

Shui Xie knew that this was true, and hurriedly returned Shang Fang's sword with both hands, and said respectfully: "Lord Governor, the kid is reckless, but the kid still doesn't know what the lord is looking for?"

He Niandong took back the sword and explained with a smile: "The old man is a little interested in Xiaoyou, and the reason why he sent someone to protect him secretly is because the safety of Xiaoyou's life is very important to the old man. This is not a good place to chat, I wonder if you can follow the old man to a secluded place to talk in detail?"

Shui Xie did not hesitate: "Okay, the kid listens to the arrangement of the adults." ”

In a secluded garden.

"Xiaoyou, what you cultivate is the internal power of the fire attribute?" He Niandong asked.

Shui Xie nodded and smiled faintly: "Lord Governor is really as wise as a torch, and he can see through the exercises practiced by the kid at once. Indeed, as the adults said, the kid has indeed cultivated a kind of fire attribute internal force. ”

"Haha, I don't have any discernment, I just heard the report of my subordinates. He Niandong explained.

"Oh? I really don't know when the water pavilion attracted the attention of the adults and subordinates?" The water pavilion was very puzzled, he had been very low-key since he came out of the mountain, if the only high-profile time was to kill the general and his guards on the street in Wujiang Town.

"Could it be in Wujiang?" asked Shui Xie tentatively.

"Haha, Shui Xiaoyou is really smart, it's true. Guozi, come out!" As soon as He Niandong's voice fell, a man immediately walked in from the garden gate, bowed down and said, "Subordinate Chen Guozi to meet the son and the adult." ”

The person in front of him was the man who sold hooves on the streets of Wujiang that day!

He Niandong explained: "It was this fruit that found you. The old man has been asking his subordinates to find people to practice the fire attribute internal force for me for many years, when you killed people in the street in Wujiang City, and then burned the bodies of those dozen people, Guozi thought that you were practicing the fire attribute exercises, so he passed the news to the Zhongzhou Governor's Mansion. ”

"Now when I see it, Shui Xiaoyou is really a young hero, and when he sees injustice, he draws his sword to help, and he is very courageous!" He Niandong stroked his beard and laughed.

"So, the kid already knows about killing the imperial court official?" Shui Xie frowned slightly, but he was not very nervous in his heart, because he saw that He Niandong had no ill will towards him.

"Water friends don't have to mind. What kind of court official is just a hooligan, and if he kills him, he will kill him. Later, in order to stop the mouth of the prefect of Wujiang and prevent the incident from affecting his reputation, Xu Huazhao, the general of Zhenwei, specially asked the old man for help. Now that Lu Dingyong, the prefect of Wujiang, is already the Taishou of Anqing County! All this is not because Shui Xiaoyou is witty!"

Shui Xie heard that Lu Dingyong was not implicated because of his own affairs, but was also promoted, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Shui Pavilion." ”

"Alas, Shui Xiaoyou, don't shout as an adult, the old man who listens to it is not very accustomed to it. Shui Xiaoyou, the old man and you hit it off at first sight, and I will be a few years older than you. It's better to be commensurate with you and me, you call me brother, I call you brother, what do you think?"

Shui Xie smiled bitterly in his heart, where is this old man how old is he alone, it is estimated that he is nearly 100 years old. In this way, the brothers are commensurate, and the water pavilion feels extremely awkward. So attentive to himself, what is it about himself that attracts him?

However, the water pavilion still pretended to be flattered, and said: "The adults can appreciate the water pavilion so much, this is the honor of the water pavilion, then the little brother is better to be respectful, Brother He!"

When He Niandong heard this, he laughed, and his mood seemed to be very comfortable.
