Xu Qing said: "I haven't told you before, these dark nightmares are all subordinates of Jian Yanghou. ”

Zhao Li was still puzzled. Xu Qing didn't say anything for the time being, and only said to the dark nightmare: "You go to Yecheng quickly to report, you must find Lord Lu Guan and the others." Tell them not to face the enemy head-on, and beware of the ancient sword Fengxuan. ”

Dark Nightmare said: "The subordinates obey the order, does the young master have any other orders?"

Xu Qing said: "I still have one more thing to ask the three of us." That day, in the battle of the Void Mountain, where can you get a glimpse of some details? Do you really want to die?"

Dark Nightmare said: "The brothers naturally did not slack off that day, but the envoy did not give orders, and it was not easy to help. I didn't know that Fu Zhen actually drew his sword and slashed. At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and the brothers did not react. After the incident, I saw some clothes and bits under the clouds, and I couldn't see the envoy, nor did I see the young master. ”

Xu Qing said: "Is there anything else in this world that can escape your nightmare? If you want to hide it, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!"

The three Dark Nightmare knelt down and said, "The young master is angry, how dare his subordinates hide it? These are all things that the brothers have seen with their own eyes, please see the young master!"

Xu Qing said: "Since the life and death of the master are unknown, have you sent someone to find it?"

Dark Nightmare said: "That is nature, the brothers are in a hurry, and they will have to search the Void Mountain." But nothing was found. ”

Xu Qing said: "Xiao Song, what are they doing?"

Dark Nightmare said: "Speaking of which, we are about to report to the young master. That Xiao Song is really cunning and cunning, not only can we not find the young master's person. Even looking for Xiao Song's whereabouts, he couldn't find any clues. In addition, just when the brothers were trying their best to find out, they suddenly encountered Huang Nansheng. That Huang Nansheng made a hand to resist the qi magic skill, and we had no power to parry, and we were beaten by him to scatter, regardless of the west and the east. In the end, he gave up and looked for a hidden way down the mountain. ”

Xu Qing said: "So, you have been busy for many days, and you can't even find any trace of Xiao Song?"

Dark Nightmare said timidly: "Don't worry, the young master, his subordinates have sent someone to investigate, and they will definitely be able to find out the whereabouts of that old guy." ”

Another dark nightmare said: "Young master, do you have any other orders?"

Xu Qing said coldly: "What else can I command? I don't know what I can do if you ask three questions about these things you do? Assassinate Xiao Song? I can't even find his shadow!"

The three of them didn't dare to say much. Xu Qing thought for a moment and said, "In addition to what I just ordered, you still have to send someone to the north to connect with your Nightmare Lord or Nightmare King." Ask them how they're doing, and I'll be informed as soon as there is news. I'll leave for Jinling tomorrow. ”

The three of them bowed to each other, then walked away with their fists clenched.

Zhao Li said suspiciously: "Brother Xu, aren't you going to Yecheng, Sister Lu, what should they do?"

Xu Qing glanced at Zhao Li and said, "Li'er, why are you asking me this? The first thing you have to ask is, shouldn't it be why I command the Dark Nightmare?"

Zhao Li smiled: "Li'er believes in Brother Xu. If you don't say, I don't ask. ”

Xu Qing was as tender as water and hugged Zhao Li into his arms. This night, the two wandered for a long time. When I got back to the frame, I saw the waiter snoring, and it was already asleep. The two also got into the car and went to bed, the sky was slightly bright, and the little waiter woke up. Rubbed his eyelids a few times, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that the car was missing, and he was shocked. Looking for people left and right, but they didn't know that Xu Qing and Zhao Li had already driven and galloped north. The waiter was about to pack up the futon, and when he saw that the bedding contained a note, he opened it and looked at it, which read: "Thank you, no need to worry." ”

The waiter knew what he meant, and he took the note to explain to Yao Du. However, it was said that Zhao Li and Xu Qing had traveled for many miles, and the climate was getting drier and colder. When they got close to Liangdu, the two drove into Dangcheng, looking for an inn to hit the tip, the shopkeeper served tea and wine, and Xu Qing thanked him. Talking and drinking tea with Zhao Li behind closed doors, chewing on late afternoon meals.

Before you know it, it's getting dark. The two of them went out of the stack to look, saw the street lamps in the city, and the noise was not stopped, and they suddenly felt in a good mood. Walking in front of the stall, Xu Qing picked up a silver hairpin and handed it to Zhao Li.

Zhao Li smiled: "Brother Xu, aren't you going to pay? ”

Xu Qing took out the silver ingot from his bosom and handed it to the little brother. The shop guy timidly took it and hurriedly shouted a few hellos. Xu Qing said: "This silver hairpin is not worthy of your incomparably noble identity. It's just a little bit of my mind, please smile. ”

Zhao Li said: "Brother Xu is really good at laughing. If Li'er cares about identity, how can she be paired with you? But now that you are like me, you deserve it. ”

Xu Qing suddenly said: "What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Li said: "If Li'er doesn't ask you, won't you say it again?"

Xu Qing said: "Don't you know everything?"

Zhao Li said: "Brother Xu, why don't you go to the stack and talk about it in detail?"

Xu Qing nodded. The two returned to the inn, went upstairs into the house, closed the door, and shook hands with each other. Zhao Li took the lead and said: "Before Brother Xu came to the Void Realm, Xiao Song had already told me Brother Xu's true identity. Brother Xu, you were originally a member of the royal family, but because you were taken captive by your master and went south, you have not entered the sect for so many years, and today you have finally returned to your roots. When you arrive in the capital, no matter what, you have to go to the palace. ”

Xu Qing exclaimed: "These are all what Xiao Song told you, do you still believe him now?"

Zhao Li said: "After that day, I won't believe it. But Qingfeng Mountain and his party, Li'er had already guessed seven or eight points. Brother Xu is just an outer disciple of the Ye Yun Sect, how can he order Ye Yun to have a nightmare? I heard you say that these are all the old subordinates of Jianyang Hou Zhao Sheng. Even so, Brother Xu's identity must be extraordinary. Li'er just guessed nonsense, Brother Xu shouldn't be angry. ”

Xu Qing said: "Li'er is really smart, I have thought about it for a long time along the way, and I always hesitate, and I don't know how to tell you." ”

Zhao Li said: "If Brother Xu is embarrassed, don't say it." ”

Xu Qing said: "If I don't tell you, you and I will have a dislike in the future, which is naturally not good." In that case, I will tell you everything. ”

Because of what Xu Qing said to him in the mountain temple that night, he didn't say a word, and said that he knew with Zhao Li. Zhao Li stared at him. After speaking, Xu Qing carefully observed Zhao Li's expression. I saw Zhao Liyun in a fog, his face full of puzzlement, and he said urgently: "Brother Xu, what you said is impossible to happen." That Jianyang Hou obviously returned to the countryside, and his father fought on the battlefield with the first emperor, and his hard work was high. Back then, he and Uncle Zhao had been fighting together for half their lives, and the two had the same surname, and they had already become brothers, so how could Daddy do such an unsightly thing? Even if Xiao Song was plotting, Daddy would never encourage him. Brother Xu, don't believe the words of those old departments, they can't find Uncle Zhao's traces, so they have to blame Daddy and the Holy Lord. made up nonsense, but in fact, it was a bad intention. Although the master is deceased, the nightmare can be punished. Brother Xu must be cautious. ”

Xu Qing said: "Li'er, such a big event like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, it's normal for you not to believe it. When I first heard this, I didn't believe it. But after all these things, I can't help but believe it. Maybe there are some discrepancies in the details, but your father and Xiao Song harbor evil intentions. When Chinese New Year's Eve broke into the palace, slaughtered the eunuch palace maid, and held the first emperor hostage, he was my father and emperor.

The master risked his life to find a secret way to enter the palace and take me out of the palace when I was still in infancy. You must know that at that time, your father had already sent assassins to try to assassinate me, but he was unexpectedly stopped by his master. Fortunately, the master's swordsmanship is all over the sky, and his light skills are outstanding, otherwise I can stand here today?"

Zhao Li lowered his head and lay on the table, motionless. muttered in his mouth: "Brother Xu, what was the truth back then, it is meaningless to investigate at this time. Going back to the roots, I don't believe that my father would commit such a serious crime. If you insist on saying that, Li'er has nothing to say. ”

Xu Qing hugged Zhao Li's right shoulder and said, "Okay, I won't talk about it." What the truth is, we will see for ourselves in the future. Let's not think about that for now, let's take care of the present. ”

Zhao Li raised his head and said, "Brother Xu, what are you going to do?"

Xu Qing paused for a moment, and replied to Zhao Li: "The important thing now is to get in touch with the Nightmare and then make a decision. ”

Zhao Li was depressed in his heart, and was about to vomit. Suddenly heard a sound outside the window, and the two glanced over. Xu Qing got up and paced to the window, pulled down the bolt, and slowly opened the window. I only heard a person outside whisper: "Young master, don't panic. It's me, Chen Yuan. ”

Xu Qing argued that this voice was the same as Chen Yuan, and took a few steps back. Sure enough, a human figure rushed into the outside, and the person pulled down the mask, and it was indeed Chen Yuan.

Zhao Li was shocked and said to Xu Qing: "Who is this...."

Chen Yuanli said: "I haven't seen you for many days, didn't the county lord forget to be here?" ”

Zhao Li said: "How have I ever met you?"

Chen Yuan said: "By the way, I remembered that I had a sword competition with the county lord that day." Wearing a mask underneath, it's no wonder that the county lord doesn't know it. ”

Zhao Li frowned, still puzzled. At this time, Xu Qing suddenly said: "He is the leader of the gang that hunted you and your father Zhao Ping in Yudi Town that night. ”

Zhao Li came to his senses at this time, turned to hate, and said to Xu Qing: "Brother Xu, this person has bad intentions. Hurt my father that day, how can you be with this person?"

Suddenly, he remembered something, and said: "The twenty guards beside my father are probably also your masterpieces." ”

Chen Yuan said: "The county lord is right. ”

Zhao Liden drew his sword and pointed forward. Xu Qing was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped: "Li'er, why are you doing this?"

Zhao Li said angrily: "Brother Xu, you don't know that this person made a killing intent that night, and wanted to kill me. And my guards and friends were all killed by him. This revenge is not avenged, and Lier is a friend in vain. ”

Chen Yuan sneered: "County Lord, do you think you can kill me today? You want to take revenge, but you don't know that you want to scrape his flesh and skin even more." Your father killed my lord, just like an animal, why should I show mercy to my subordinates? If it weren't for the king's order, I'm afraid that your father would have died a long time ago!"

Zhao Li said hatefully: "You dog, what nonsense are you! Who is your Hou Ye? What does it have to do with my father?"

Chen Yuan said: "The county lord doesn't know? If your father had told you this, I am afraid that you would have left him long ago.

My Hou Ye is a sword and a sun. Your father and that Xiao Song, plus the current saint, how despicable and shameless twenty years ago did this inhumane pig and dog thing. It is really hateful and hateful to deceive the king and deprive him of the throne. ”

Zhao Li looked at Xu Qing and said angrily: "Brother Xu, I can't complain that you talk about my father like this, it seems that I have been bewitched by this person!

Xu Qing said: "Li'er, why are you so troubled? I am not bewitched by anyone, but I really have it. The crime committed by your father is not different from what Chen Yuan said, can you believe me?"
