A huge screen is carved with seven soaring dragons, each of which is carved from seven kinds of jade. The dragon scales and dragon beard are delicate, and the dragon's head is even more powerful.

Behind the screen sat an old man with silver hair and a wrinkled face, dressed in a black robe with a skull mark embroidered with red thread on his chest.

Outside the screen stood three people, two men and one woman. Standing on the left is an old man with a long beard and a gloomy face, and on the right is a young man of about thirty years old, with a pale face and a folding fan in his hand. The woman in the middle was dressed in a pale green gown, about twenty years old, with a skin like clotted fat and a beautiful appearance.

The old man behind the screen twisted his beard and said, "Our plan to enter the Central Plains does not seem to be going too well. When the three of them heard this, they said in unison: "It's a subordinate crime, please punish the door master." The old man sneered: "The matter has come to this, do you think it is useful for the old man to punish you again?" The three of them said in unison: "Please ask the master of the door to admonish." ”

The old man said, "The old man is old, and sooner or later the position of the master of this sect will fall on the three of you. The six major sects of the Central Plains Martial Arts are the old enemies of their own sects and should be eradicated as soon as possible. As he spoke, he changed his words and said, "White girl, you took over your grandmother's position, and she didn't seem to be as unbearable as you when she was in this position." ”

Fine beads of sweat appeared on the woman's forehead, and her face turned red and she knelt down and said, "The lesson of the door master is that it is Xuan'er who is incompetent, who has lived up to her grandmother's expectations and the trust of the door master. The old man said sharply, "I ask you, why do you fail again and again?" The woman said, "The master of the door is all obstructed by one person. ”

The old man said: "Who is it? Could it be the king of the abyss?" Bai Ruoxuan said: "No, it's Xiao Yunfan from the Langjian Sect." The old man muttered, "Langjian Gate, it sounds very familiar. Bai Ruoxuan paused and said: "The subordinates have found out that Xie Tianya, the head of the Langjian Sect, is dead, and this Xiao Yunfan is his apprentice." ”

The old man's fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of the chair, and said lightly: "What kind of ability does this Xiao Yunfan have to destroy the great plan of the sect three or four times?" Bai Ruoxuan said: "Xiao Yunfan's own martial arts can be ranked among the first-class masters in the Central Plains, this person is witty, Wei Wuwu and Ji Qianyun are defeated in his hands."

The subordinates have always been puzzled, in the battle of the Xuannu Palace, it stands to reason that this Xiao Yunfan was deeply damaged, but instead of dying, this person made great progress in martial arts. So his subordinates suspected that someone was secretly helping him. The corner of the old man's eyes twitched and said, "You mean that we have an undercover agent from the Central Plains Martial Arts in the Ghost Sect?"

Bai Ruoxuan said: "The subordinates are just guessing, and there is no real evidence. The old man pondered for a moment, sighed, and said, "Well, even so, I'll give you another chance." This time, you will personally deal with Xiao Yunfan. Ye Protector, Zhang Protector, you two stay in the door, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. White girl, can you rest assured now?"

Bai Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows and said loudly: "The subordinates must live up to the expectations of the door master." The old man said, "Remember, if you fail this time, the old man will not spare you." Bai Ruoxuan said: "Yes, the subordinates will definitely capture Xiao Yunfan alive." ”

On the official road, a horse-drawn carriage walked slowly. A woman with a melon seed face lifted the curtain, held a cyan bamboo tube in her hand and said, "Master, you are tired of driving, drink some water." Xiao Yunfan grabbed the reins of the horse, took the bamboo tube, took a big sip, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve and smiled: "You two little girls didn't have to follow me. ”

The woman said, "Master, I have been given to you by the high priest and his old man, and I will serve you for the rest of your life." Xiao Yunfan said: "Now that the high priest is dead, you don't have to keep his promise anymore." I'm going back to Ziyu Mountain this time, and it's a long way to go. You will inevitably have to endure hardships along the way. ”

The woman shook her head and said, "It's nothing for me and Luoyue to endure hardship, as long as the master doesn't dare us go." Saying that, tears flashed in her eyes, Xiao Yunfan's heart softened and said: "You still don't call me the master long and the master short, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable." In this way, I will call you sisters in the future, and you two can call me Brother Xiao. The woman said, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Xiao Yunfan straightened his face and said, "If you don't call, then don't follow me." Tingyun said in a low voice: "Brother Xiao." Xiao Yunfan said: "Well, that's good." So saying, he whistled, and the two horses spread their hooves and galloped forward, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust.

After walking for another thirty miles, Xiao Yunfan came to a big town and stayed in an inn. At nightfall, Xiao Yunfan sat on the bed. He thought to himself: "Where are you, Sister Qing? Xiao Yunfan, you have always been conceited and smart, why can't you find the slightest clue this time?"

Then I thought again: "Why did that senior not let me meet Sister Qing? Could it be that I was poisoned by the blood of Chiyou Demon that day, and Sister Qing agreed to that senior's request, so she didn't meet me? This senior treats me well, presumably he won't embarrass Sister Qing." I, Xiao Yunfan, are active and nosy.

This senior knew that I couldn't change my temperament, so he persuaded me three or four times to turn back and cherish my life. However, if you can't live according to your own heart, what's the point? If I am with my sister, will she also persuade me to restrain my temperament? Maybe not, she knows me best.

Master's wish will soon be fulfilled by me, but where should I go after that? By the way, Xu Yuantai said that day that the court did not seem to have the intention of reopening the case, and most of the Feng family's cases had become ironclad cases. Sister Qing is afraid of affecting me before leaving?

If you have the opportunity to meet the emperor Lao'er, you must discuss the Tao with him. How easy is it to get the emperor to admit his mistake? I have heard Master say before that the emperor does not blink an eye when he kills people, and even if he knows that he is wrong, he will not admit it. ”

He was pondering when he heard the sound of roof tiles. Xiao Yunfan knew that someone was on the roof, so he grabbed his long sword, put on his clothes and walked out of the door. He knocked on the room of the second daughter next door, and listened to Yun Xin: "It's so late, what's the matter with him?", she put on her clothes and lit the oil lamp and slowly walked to the door.

Xiao Yunfan said: "Listen to Sister Yun, I'm really sorry to disturb your rest." Tingyun said, "Brother Xiao, what's the matter?" said and went to pull the door bolt. Xiao Yunfan said: "You don't have to open the door, I have a few words for you." Tingyun said: "Hmm." Brother Xiao, you say, I'll listen. Xiao Yunfan said: "You stay in the inn and don't go anywhere, I have to go out to do some errands, at least three or five days, and at most seven or eight days." ”

Tingyun said suspiciously: "Brother Xiao wants to leave us?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Good girl, how can I, Xiao Yunfan, talk and not count." I really have something to do, so don't worry. With that, he went back to his room, pushed open the pane, and jumped out.

At this time, everything is silent, and the moonlight is faintly sprinkled on the bluestone street. Xiao Yunfan lifted his breath and climbed onto the roof. He heard the footsteps of the roof heading east, and he walked eastward. Suddenly, he saw a pale yellow light from a tile not far away, and thought, "Most of the people who came here are going down." ”

He held his breath and moved closer to the tile. There were three men sitting in the room, one was a middle-aged man with a beard standing in a night suit, and the other two were sitting. One was an old man in rags and a beggar, and the other was a hunchback. Xiao Yunfan looked down, and the bearded man said with a sad and indignant face: "I invited the two brothers to come this time, I want to ask the two to help him." ”

The hunchback said, "Well, Brother Ma sat down and said." The man surnamed Ma sat down, slammed his fist on the table, and said angrily: "It's my sister-in-law who is to blame for this, I spoiled her." Originally, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but now the younger brother wants to ask the two brothers to help with the fist, and I have to give the two of you an account of this matter. ”

The man surnamed Ma looked very embarrassed, and he finally mustered up the courage to say: "My sister is twenty-seven this year, and she is an old girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet. Little brother, I like to mess with flowers and grass on weekdays, and my sister is so many. Originally, neither of us could control anyone, but if she died, if I didn't take revenge as an elder brother, I would be unkind. ”

The old beggar said, "Brother Ma, you treat me well, if you have anything to say, you just have to tell me." The man surnamed Ma said: "My sister a few days ago, she insisted on pulling a Xiucai round house. Afterwards, it was my showmanship who cooked. Who would have thought that this matter would be known to Yin Thirteen, he was nosy with a mouse, and actually killed my sister-in-law, and pulled out the body naked and put it at the door of my Majiazhuang.

Hey, I can't swallow this breath. Even if you want to kill my girl, it won't be anyone's turn. This silver thirteen is really too deceitful, so the younger brother wants to ask the two brothers to help him. ”

When the hunchback heard the three words of Silver Thirteen, his face changed and said: "If others and our brother can still help you, this Silver Thirteen ......" The man surnamed Ma said unhappily: "What's wrong with Silver Thirteen? He is not a head and two legs, what is there to be afraid of." ”

The hunchback shook his head and said: "Brother I don't know, you haven't heard anyone say 'Golden Leopard, Silver Wolf and Jade Lion', this Silver Wolf and Silver Thirteen have a great background." His famous stunt 'Seven Kills of Heavenly Wolf' is even more powerful martial arts. How easy is it to take his life?" The man surnamed Ma clenched his fists, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out: "Is this the end of the matter?"

The hunchback flattered, "I can't help with this." The man surnamed Ma said: "Brother He, what do you say? The power of your beggar gang is all over the rivers and lakes, isn't it easy to deal with a silver thirteen?" The old beggar sniffed and said, "Well...... this" The man surnamed Ma became anxious and said: "Your old brother said something happy, don't do this or that." ”

The old beggar narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "If you want to deal with Silver Thirteen, you have to be famous, and this person has never offended the beggar gang, so it is really unreasonable for us to embarrass him." The man surnamed Ma sneered: "It seems that the two of you don't plan to help me." The hunchback looked at the old beggar with a red face.

The old beggar said: "It's not that there is no way, but if you want your brother to spend some silver, are you willing?" The man surnamed Ma said: "The silver Ma someone has, I don't know how much the old brother needs to help me?" The old beggar stretched out five dark fingers, and the man surnamed Ma said: "Five thousand taels." ”

The old beggar said: "The life of Silver Thirteen is at least 50,000 taels. The man surnamed Ma lowered his head and muttered for a moment and said, "Okay, 50,000 taels is 50,000 taels, as long as the beggar gang asks for the life of silver thirteen." ”
