"You've woken up. When Shen Fengming spoke, he didn't look up.

But Ouyang Xin, who was on the couch, of course knew who he was saying this. He sat up slowly, bowed slightly to Shen Fengming, "I can't hide anything from Fengming Gongzi." ”

"You know you can't hide it, but you're still going to take a gamble. ”

Ouyang Xin's figure seemed to be slightly shocked, "I...... I don't really understand what Feng Ming Gongzi means. ”

"Yesterday—if it hadn't been for that poisonous worm that stopped you, would you really have planned to go in alone?"

Ouyang Xin stopped talking this time.

Shen Fengming stood up and walked slowly around the room. "Before we set out, I told you that the bottom line of our journey is that we must not expose ourselves. If there is such a danger, then it is better not to inquire about anything than to venture in. But after you know that the Blue Dragon Sect is Cheng Fangyu, you take the risk to go deeper—have you ever thought about the consequences of being discovered by them?"

Ouyang Xin said in a sullen voice: "Don't worry, even if I am discovered, I will never let them know that I am a person from Heizhu—whether I can succeed or not, it is my business alone." ”

"But you forgot that you didn't come alone!" Shen Fengming said sharply, "You forgot that you have returned to Heizhu—you came with me, with Wu Tiantong, Shi Zhijian, and those one hundred and twenty people—you wanted to assassinate Cheng Fangyu on a whim, where did you put my 'Shuangqin Campaign' this time!"

Ouyang Xin was speechless.

Shen Fengming sneered, "Xia Junli is a good person, if you want to go back to Heizhu, he will let you go back to Heizhu." I told him a long time ago, and he didn't listen. Fortunately, he is not a fool, he knows that you hate the Blue Dragon Sect in particular, Cheng Fang. I told him that if I didn't meet the Blue Dragon Sect this time, if I did, as long as one of the three of you made an abnormal move, I would definitely take action - he agreed. ”

"You mean to dispose of me. ”

"It's not you, it's the three of you. Shen Fengming said, "For the sake of your seniors, I won't treat you like this, but I just ask you to leave Heizhu." ”

Ouyang Xin was silent for a long time, and then suddenly laughed: "Ridiculous, really ridiculous! When did the dignified Black Bamboo Society become so timid, as if they had forgotten why they came here and forgot that they were originally killers! You say that I am for my own personal vendetta, I admit it--but let me ask you, personal vendetta aside, if we don't kill Cheng Fangyu, what are our chances of victory? Even if we can win, will we have to die a lot more brothers? The so-called 'outside the mission, don't hurt others' rule not use that- Since the Blue Dragon Sect is an enemy, it will have to face it sooner or later—when will Heizhu be so stupid that he would rather fight head-on with others than be a little more flexible?"

"That's a question I want to ask too. Shen Fengming smiled slightly, "It's a pity that our eldest brother now is Xia Junli - it's a pity that he is a person who refuses to be flexible." You don't have to get to the bottom of this and be angry, as long as he is in one day, Heizhu can't attack the Qinglong Sect for a day. ”

He suddenly leaned over again, "But-if someone other than Heizhu assassinates Cheng Fangyu, I don't think he can control it, don't you say?"

Ouyang Xin's gray eyes suddenly shot out like light. "What do you mean......"

"If you want revenge, I'll give you a chance now. Shen Fengming's eyes were also looking at him steadily.

Ouyang Xin didn't seem to dare to believe his original intention, but hesitated, "But-what about after this? Ah Yin and Qin Song are both in Lin'an, in his hands, how can we go back to Heizhu and explain to him after that?"

"You don't have a choice right now. Shen Fengming said, "That's right, leaving Wuying and Qin Song is to contain you, but I said - Xia Junli is a good person, he won't do anything to them." If you are so hesitant now, why did you act impulsively yesterday?"

Ouyang Xin was silent for a long time, "Do you think that if I can't succeed alone, three people can kill Cheng Fangyu?"

"It depends on the time, the place, the people. Yesterday was not a good opportunity. Shen Fengming said. "You don't have to worry, I still have a few things waiting for news at the moment, and it is limited to five days - after five days, you can go to this place, and I should wait for you in this place. At that time, it will be up to the three of you to decide for yourselves whether or not you can do it—even if there are three of you, I don't want you to be sent to your death without any chance. ”

He shook out a short slip from his sleeve and sent it to him, "You don't have to look at this now. You will leave for the floating pavilion in the eastern suburbs in a while, and if nothing else, you can meet Wu Tiantong and Shi Zhijian there. Remember, don't act rashly until you see what I've arranged. ”

"If you can place Neiying in the Blue Dragon Sect, why don't you let Neiying do it?"

"The so-called 'art industry has a specialization', and the internal response can only be the internal response, and the three of you-" Shen Fengming's eyes rolled, "If my guess is right, Wu Tiantong is the silver medal 'Hanging River' in the past, right? I'm a novice compared to you, but I'm just providing some information. ”

"'Gray Moth'......" Ouyang Xin didn't deny it, and a miserable smile appeared on his face, "I haven't heard this name for many years...... 'Hanging River' has even changed a lot in words and shots, how did you guess it?"

"It doesn't matter how I guess, the important thing is that I can recognize you, and the more likely Cheng Fang is to recognize you. Shen Fengming said, "Don't think that after more than ten years, everything has really changed. There are always things that haven't changed. Be careful with yourselves. ”

Ouyang Xin thanked Shen Fengming on the couch, and Shen Fengming returned the salute. At this time, Ouyang Xin didn't know why Shen Fengming wanted to return this salute to him at this moment—he felt that maybe Shen Fengming thanked him because killing Cheng Fangyue could make this "Shuangqin Expedition" smoother, or because he had to temporarily drive him out of the Black Bamboo Society. Either way, he was still willing to keep this favor to the descendants of this black bamboo - after all, he knew that this today's gold medal was against the will of the leader and allowed him to declare his personal vendetta. He had secretly decided in his heart that he would never say that he would know about this matter with the sixth person except for his three brothers and that inner response, and he would not leave any evidence. In this way, maybe the Qinglong Sect and Ling Li can't blame the Black Bamboo Society for not keeping the agreement, and Xia Yan doesn't have to hold anyone accountable for this matter.

He didn't see that Shen Fengming, who had left his house, was standing in front of the porch outside the house again, looking down at the porch, and did not move for a long time. He didn't know—even Shen Fengming himself didn't know—that he would only keep his head down like this when he wasn't so confident.

- There are very few such times, but now is the time.

----------

Ab also wore an iron ring on his hand. This makes people think that he has a lot of backbone.

In fact, it's just because the ring can't be taken off anymore. When he took something from Shen Fengming's hand, his heart was beating in horror for a while.

Abu was promoted to silver medal during last year's Tiandu Peak gold medal competition. He is one of the youngest silver medalists in the Black Bamboo Club at the moment - he is nineteen years old, a year younger than Lou Qianshan.

Like Lou Qianshan, he was still a child when he wore this ring. It's just that, unlike girls, when a man reaches the age of eighteen or nineteen, his knuckles can already be very wide, and this is the case with Abu.

Most of the Black Bamboo Society's killers win with dexterity, and Abu is a counterexample. He was tall and strong, with a simple and upright face, and he looked like a peasant boy. Maas was very fond of carrying Abu because he was strong enough that, like him, he could break people's necks with one hand. What's more—and he's obedient—he'll kill whoever he wants.

may be because there are very few people like Abu in the Black Bamboo Society, and that time to suppress Shen Fengming's forces even more, Abu inexplicably became the silver medal of Black Bamboo. He felt that if he had followed Shen Fengming at the beginning, he would definitely not have been able to mix so well.

After Maas's death, most of his silver medals were gone, and Abu was also gone. The black bamboo teenagers scattered into the rivers and lakes, and what silver and bronze medals were, they were all like a handful of broken sand scattered into the air wind, so light that there was no weight, and no one had the heart or strength to find them out one by one, even if some were in Lin'an, and the black bamboo meeting was close at hand. Abu has a lot of strength, and he also heard that the imperial city of Lin'an is the best to find a job, but the iron ring can never be taken off, which makes him very flustered.

So for a long time he still lived near Huizhou, the semi-abandoned town of black bamboo. He also knew Wu Tiantong - although he didn't know that he was "Hanging River". Of course, for Ab, "Hanging River" is nothing to fear, just a codename that has no feelings. The people he has killed are not necessarily less than those of "Hanging River".

He was found in the "Expedition of the Two Jades" when the black bamboo was recovered. Ah Jiao and the others, who also live in this area, are Shen Fengming's cronies, and they have never had any contact with Maas's subordinates, but Abu is too eye-catching—he doesn't need to see the iron ring, as long as he has seen his figure, he will remember him. "The Expedition of Twin Jades" wanted to assassinate Xia Zheng, the task was too urgent, and it was impossible to gather people for a while, so Abu was also knocked on the door. He hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Although the commander Ziyu is Shen Fengming's cronies, at least the deputy commander Ah Yu is new, and there are many former Iron Ring Alliances in his team, so he is not too embarrassed, and - Abu only found out after leaving Heizhu that he really can't do anything but kill.

Although the mission failed, Abu was lucky not to be injured, and he didn't get any reward when he returned, but he decided to stay in Heizhu. Later, he heard that Jun Li had become the master of Heizhu. He had seen Jun Li stab Ma Si's throat with his own eyes in Tiandu Peak, but he didn't see him as an enemy in his heart, as if it was just a natural fate for Ma Si.

He thinks most people should think so.

Shen Fengming asked him to be one of the six team leaders of this "Shuangqin Expedition", and he was a little flattered. In fact, this is just because Wu Tiantong and Shi Zhijian recognize him, and it is more convenient to follow his team.

When they met, Wu Tiantong made an envious look, "Abu, you are young, you are a team leader." We'll all have to do it with you. ”

Abu was very happy with this, and secretly decided that he could not treat them badly. "Where, where. He said politely, "I've been here for many years, and it's great that you just came here to be able to participate in such a big task." ”

He also heard that Ouyang Xin was the one who delivered the news between the groups this time, and he would bring the news this morning. The groups were not allowed to inquire about each other, and several group leaders could only learn from Shen Fengming or the connector alone about a limited number of things that could be allowed to be known - Abu was a veteran and knew that there was no need to do much, but it was still natural to expect Ouyang Xin to tell him more.

When he saw that it was Shen Fengming, he was still a little disappointed.

However, Shen Fengming did say a little more to him than the other five groups. "Wu Tiantong and Shi Zhijian are in your group, right?" he said casually, "From today onwards, they will no longer belong to you." You give this to them, and they will go on their own. ”

Abu guessed that he had another task, so he didn't dare to ask more, so he reached out and took a small cloth bag handed over by Shen Fengming, and vaguely felt the hard bones in the bag, like some kind of sharp weapon.

On the way back, he couldn't help but take a private look. Anyway, Shen Fengming didn't say that he couldn't watch it, and it shouldn't hurt to watch it. The bag was indeed a dagger, unsheathed, and it didn't look like it had a hint of luster, and it was so gray that it forgot that it could have a blade.

Could it be a weapon for Shi Zhijian? He secretly guessed that he knew that Shi Zhijian's dagger was not easy to use. But is there any special use for such an inconspicuous dagger? Why did Shen Fengming send it on purpose?

The thing was delivered to Shi Zhijian, and his complexion changed as soon as he opened it. "You said it was given by Feng Ming? Did he say where it came from?"

Abu already knew something was wrong. Wu Tiantong, who usually has a smiling face, can't see a trace of a smile at this time. He shook his head, "Feng Ming only asked me to hand it over to you." You're not part of my group now, and I can't help much. Although he was very curious, he was even more afraid of causing trouble, so he quickly found an excuse to leave.

It was indeed an ordinary dagger - at least in the eyes of those who didn't recognize it. But Shi Zhijian's hand was so trembling that he couldn't hold it tightly. He raised his head and met Wu Tiantong's gaze. "Is it it?"—he didn't speak, but those eyes asked those three words. "It's it. Wu Tiantong also replied with his eyes. Without any words, this ordinary dagger has already intimidated the entire minds of the two people.

"How...... Will it be in Shen Fengming's hands?" After a long time, Shi Zhijian opened his mouth first.

Wu Tiantong calmly held the handle of the short dagger, "Let's see if there is anything else in the bag." ”

Shi Zhijian touched it, "No." ”

"Take a closer look and see if there are any words left. ”

Shi Zhijian flipped the cloth bag over. There are some open threads on the inside of the coarse cloth, and there seems to be something embedded in the cracks, which is not very smooth. He took out his dagger and picked up the tether, "Sure enough, there are words here." He handed it over to Wu Tiantong. "What is written? It seems like a place?" Obviously, he didn't know enough to read.

There are a few words in the folds. Wu Tiantong glanced at it, and then gently placed the cloth on the table.

"The eastern suburbs of Yuezhou, floating pavilion. ”

He spoke softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing someone's soul on the tip of the old blade in his hand.
