"Whew!"

With a light sound, Liu Zhong and Liu Yi led people to pick and light up the scattered candlesticks, and the dark inn lobby once again fainted a wisp of yellow.

At this moment, the entire inn is almost no longer in its original form. As far as the eye can see, the floor is full of potholes, the walls are full of holes, the broken doors and windows, the crumbling staircase, the broken tables and chairs......

Of course, there are also unkempt and blood-stained people. The tragic and poignant scene made people feel like they were in a world away, as if they were not in the prosperous city of Luzhou, but in the scorched earth Shura battlefield.

"Lord Xie?"

Seeing that Xie Xuan's mind was solemn and he didn't say a word for a long time, Gu Ri couldn't help frowning, and called softly: "Lord Xie, I don't know what you think?"

"This ......" Xie Xuan pretended to ponder, and his words were slurred, "just ...... The predecessors said it well, God has the virtue of a good life, and the predecessors also have a forgiving heart. Xie is foolish, compared to the eyes will be repaid, you fight to the death. As...... Repay grievances with virtue and give way to each other. ”

"Repay grievances with virtue?" Yan Bugui asked in disbelief, "Could it be that you plan to let Liu Xunyi go?"

"Of course not!"

"Then you ......"

"Why don't the fourth master of Yan listen to the words of the people?" Lonely Ri interrupted Yan No-Return's questioning in a deep voice, so as to cast his interested eyes on Xie Xuan, who was "full of righteous indignation", "Dare to ask the lord of the Xie Mansion, how to repay grievances with virtue, and how to give in one step?"

Since the senior asked, Xie didn't dare to hide it. I...... Dare to express your simple opinions, and dare to ask your predecessors to decide. Xie Xuan put on a righteous and awe-inspiring posture, "I mean...... Each takes what he needs, and does not force each other. ”

"To each his own?"

"Not bad!" Xie Xuan was not in a hurry or impatient, and took the opportunity to answer, "The seniors may not know, Xun Qin's background is by no means simple, she is the confidant of the Young Qin King of the Western Regions." Therefore, her men preferred to stay with her rather than abandon her. Because once Xun Qin has a mistake, the king of Shaoqin will definitely treat them for the crime of 'failing to protect the lord', so that they can't survive or die. ”

"What do you mean...... The person they really care about is Xun Qin, not Liu Xunyi?" asked Gu Ri thoughtfully.

"Exactly. Xie Xuan nodded heavily, "Regarding the background of the Young Qin King, there is no need for Xie to say more, presumably the predecessors are already familiar with it." I mean...... The foundation of the Qingfeng Alliance is not stable, and the vitality of the Xian Wang's Mansion is greatly damaged, and it is really not a wise move to be an enemy of the Shaoqin King at the moment......"

As for this, Xie Xuan's voice stopped abruptly, as if he was giving Lone Ri time to think about it fully.

"Go on!"

"Although they no longer have hostages in their hands and seem to be at the end of the road, with Su He and Tang Afu present, it is still not easy for us to solve the trouble without blood. And...... There is going to be hell to pay. Xie Xuan observed Lone Ri's reaction and replied cautiously, "But if we continue to follow our promises and ...... Take one more step and let them take Xun Qin away, leaving only Liu Xunyi. In this way, they will be grateful to us. Even if I was a little reluctant in my heart...... I'm afraid I don't dare to make an inch. More importantly, our move is tantamount to showing favor to the forces behind them, so that in the future, if not friends, they will not become mortal enemies. ”

"This ......" Xie Xuan's outspokenness made Gu Ri hesitate, and said in a low voice, "Lord Xie, you should understand that Xun Qin's rescue of Liu Xunyi from Lin'an is tantamount to openly opposing the Great Song Dynasty." Now, she is a key offender appointed by the imperial court......"

"The authority of the imperial court cannot be provoked, and of course Xie understands this section. But the current situation is ...... We must not set up a strong enemy because of a word from the imperial court, or even sacrifice the lives of our own brothers. Besides, the imperial court is rich and powerful, so why do you borrow our hands to deal with Xun Qin? Could it be...... They didn't want to be the enemy of the Shaoqin King, so they pushed us out to be a shield?"

"This ......"

After Xie Xuan's reminder, and then recalling Chu Mao's words and deeds when he visited Wu, Lonely Ri inevitably wavered.

"And!" Xie Xuan struck while the iron was hot, "In case there is an accident in the melee, Liu Xunyi will be forced to die." Even...... Isn't the gain outweighing the loss?"

"This ...... There is also some truth!" Gu Ri frowned and nodded slowly, "You can leave Liu Xunyi, can they agree?"

"I expected...... In all likelihood. Xie Xuanxuan analyzed matter-of-factly, "The people of the Western Regions only care about Xun Xunqin, and they don't care about Liu Xunyi at all. Tang Afu prides himself on being desireless and ruthless, and it is expected that he and Liu Xunyi are only in trouble for some interests, and they are by no means desperate. Although Su He values love and righteousness, he will not risk the lives of innocent people because of his personal relationship with Liu Xunyi. As for Pan Yuyin...... Weak female stream, not worth a damn. ”

Looking at Xie Xuan, who was full of words, and the lonely day who was gradually compromising, Yan Bugui's heart was anxious and annoyed, and he said frankly: "What the lord of the mansion said is not advisable, and he is afraid of the head and tail, and I dare not agree! If Xun Qin is let go tonight, it is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain." Do you think she's going to be grateful? No, this woman is mercenary and ruthless, and if we spare her life, we won't get her gratitude, but will be despised by her. If Liu Xunyi is of use to her, she will definitely not give up easily, maybe...... will intensify their enemies against us. ”

"Undeniable, there is such a possibility!" Xie Xuan's indignation at the non-return of the wild goose was first raised and then suppressed, and he retorted in an orderly manner, "However, how sure are you that you can kill Su He and Tang Afu? How sure are you that you can ensure that Liu Xunyi will not have any accidents in the melee? When we just stepped into the inn, we were already in control, but suddenly two masters, Su He and Tang Afu, broke the situation and almost turned the tide. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Lonely Day Daoist, the consequences would be unimaginable. Now, who can guarantee that Su He and Tang Afu will not have other strong reinforcements behind them? Not being 100% sure means that it is unpredictable, unpredictable, and not worth the risk. After all, our top priority is to take down Liu Xunyi, save the reputation of Wudang and Xianwangfu, and be ashamed. ”

"But ......"

"No need!" "No, but!" the lonely day who had made up his mind waved his hand, interrupting the argument of the wild goose not returning in an unquestionable tone, "The lord of the Xie Mansion is thoughtful, and in order to be safe, there must be a trade-off. The old man deliberated again and again and decided...... Focus on the overall situation and act according to the policy of the lord of the Xie Mansion. If they are stubborn, it will not be too late for us to strike again. ”2018

As soon as Lone Ri's words came out, Xie Xuan's uneasy heart finally settled down. Subconsciously glanced at Liu Xunyi, and it was difficult to hide a faint excitement in their eyes.

Twists and turns, struggling steps, and finally keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, how can you not teach people to be ecstatic?

"Did you hear that?"

With the acquiescence of the lonely day, Xie Xuan coughed lightly twice, and said to Su He and Tang Afu in righteous words: "There is a head for wrongs, and there is a master for debts! Tonight, we only need Liu Xunyi alone. ”

Hearing this, Abaolu, Xiao Yang, Su Hu, and Xun Budao were stunned for a moment, and a trace of joy for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe appeared between their eyebrows.

"Is that true?"

"The Lonely Day Dao Master is a famous martial arts master, he does what he says, and he promises a thousand dollars, how can he coax you juniors?" Xie Xuan said in a deep voice, "However, I want you to go back and tell King Shaoqin." Xie Mounian is in the love of everyone's acquaintance, and today's matter will not be investigated. But he colluded with Liu Xunyi without authorization, which Xie Mou could not tolerate. Therefore, from now on, Xie and Xian Wangfu broke off with Shaoqin Wangen. In the future, he walked his Yangguan Road, and I crossed my single-plank bridge, and everyone did not interfere with the river water, and the old and dead did not interact with each other. You don't want to meddle in the affairs of the Central Plains martial arts, it's best to go back to the Western Regions and never step into the Central Plains again. If not, the leader of the Qingfeng Alliance and the benevolent and righteous people of the world will be inseparable from you, and they will not die!"

"Xie Xuan, you dare to threaten us......"

"Shut up!"

The weak Xun Qin interrupted Abaolu's refutation, staring coldly at Xie Xuan, Gu Ri, Yan Bugui and others with unwilling eyes, and said in despair: "It is our bad luck to be planted in your hands today...... The little woman is willing to gamble and lose, and she has nothing to say......"

"Since you have nothing to say, pack up your things and leave Luzhou immediately!" Gan Yonglin urged angrily, "You are making waves in Gan's territory, making Luzhou restless, don't forget to leave the silver taels to make up for the loss of the store before leaving......"

"Miss Xunqin, you ...... Do you really agree to their conditions?" Pan Yuyin held on to her sluggish spirit and asked worriedly, "Do you really abandon Brother Liu?"

"It's not that I'm abandoning him, it's that I'm ...... Take care of yourself. Xun Qin shook his head weakly under the support of Abaoru, and his tone was very bitter, "There is a saying in your Central Plains, 'Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes'. Couples who share the same bed are still like this, not to mention us and Liu Xunyi......"

Seeing Xun Qin so ruthless, Pan Yuyin was inevitably angry: "But you were desperate to save him......

"This time, that time. Xun Qin sighed, "Miss Pan listens to me, and she is not afraid of no firewood ......to burn in the green mountains."

"Brother Su!" Seeing that Xun Qin couldn't count on it, the flustered Pan Yuyin pinned his hopes on Su He again, "You and Brother Liu are like brothers, it's impossible to see death without saving ......"

"I ......"

"You don't have to worry about me!" Before Su He could speak, Liu Xunyi had already taken advantage of the situation to grab the words, "I have a cheap life, and it is not a pity to die." You don't have to be sad, I don't want to burden the innocent before I die, and I don't want to deepen my sins. If you were my friend, don't be stupid ......"

"But ......"

"If you insist on saving me, I will immediately bite my tongue and kill myself, and someone in the province will die in vain because of me......"

In the face of the touching scene of "life and death", Lone Sun has always watched coldly.

Xun Qin's selfishness and cruelty, Pan Yuyin's panic, Su He's dilemma, and Tang Afu's hard-hearted heart...... Be in full view of it. At the same time, a sneer full of disdain quietly rose at the corner of his mouth.

"Since ancient times, 'those who know the times are handsome', look at your appearance...... The old man is not unkind, since the effect of the medicine has not expired and your physical strength is exhausted, you might as well stay here and recover slowly. After examining it for a moment, Gu Ri's mind turned around, and he said quietly, "Xie Mansion Master, Fourth Master Yan, I bother you two to personally escort Liu Xunyi, let's go!"

After that, in order to avoid the lonely day of long dreams at night, he did not wait for Xie Xuan and Yan Bugui to answer, nor did he wait for Su He and Tang Afu to react, and walked towards the outside of the inn with great strides under the guidance of more than a dozen Wudang disciples.

Xie Xuan, who was secretive, and Yan Bugui, who was resentful, glanced at Xun Qin respectively, so that Liu Xunyi, who was dizzy and dizzy, and his legs were weak, was firmly clamped left and right, and chased after Lone Sun under the heavy protection of the disciples of the Xianwang Mansion and the disciples of the Gan family.

"No! Brother Liu......"

Let the emotional Pan Yuyin struggle and cry, but he still couldn't withstand Xiao Yang and Su Hu's death.

In the end, she could only stand in place in a daze with a helpless face, Xun Qin, who sighed, Su He, who was entangled, and Tang Afu, who was expressionless, and watched Xie Xuan and others drag Liu Xunyi out of the inn and disappear into the vast rainy night.
