After Ren Xiao and Tong Qian's "Yinuo Tavern" stayed, they went out every morning to collect intelligence and find out the news, and Ren Xiao practiced swordsmanship and internal strength in the courtyard at night.

About ten days later, Ren Xiao and Tong Qian also became familiar with the people around them, and Ren Xiao mingled with the people because of his optimism and kindness.

On this day, Ren Xiao and Tong Qian took a turn from the back mountain of Xuanwu Mountain, where there was nothing worth thinking about except for a few dilapidated houses. In the evening, the two returned to the tavern, and the simple middle-aged boss greeted him warmly: "Yo! Ren Xiao, you're back, what to eat?"

Ren Xiao greeted the boss with a smile, and then walked to a table with Tong Qian and sat down, Tong Qian greeted: "Boss, cut two catties of beef, and then have a pot of wine!"

The boss brought the wine first, and said with a smile: "I just slaughtered a sheep today, do you want to have some good mutton?" Tong Qian thought for a while and said, "It's okay, let's taste the fishy smell today!"

"Okay, you two wait, I'll be here soon!" the boss smiled and went to the back kitchen to prepare food. Ren Xiao and Tong Qian talked about the recent situation, "Brother Tong, we have almost checked all the families of these people, and we haven't found any situation, what should we do next?"

Tong Qian poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all, and said: "The camouflage ability of the members of the Bai Ye Xing character level is really strong, and there is no flaw at all for such a long time!" Ren Xiao said: "Do you say that it is because the defense of this Xuanwu Mountain is too tight, and Bai Yejue has no way to start, so he gives up, and those undercover agents have nothing to do, so they have no action." Tong Qian nodded and said, "What you said is not unreasonable, since this is the case, then we have to find a way to let these undercover agents take the initiative to appear!"

"So what should we do?"

"I don't know either! This kind of thing, I'm not the best at it, forget it, I'll go to Zhong Liyan tomorrow to see what he has in mind!" At this time, the boss also came up with a plate of beef and a plate of mutton, seeing that the two of them were sad, the boss sat opposite Ren Xiao and asked: "Two, you have been here for some days, I don't know what you do?" Ren Xiao was about to speak, Tong Qian preemptively said: "It's nothing, don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

The boss nodded and said, "I naturally know this, the rules of the rivers and lakes, but I remind the two of you not to fight the idea of Xuanwu Mountain, Taoism is not easy to mess with." Ren Xiao saw that the boss had misunderstood him, so he said: "Uncle, don't worry, how can we be stupid enough to go against the Taoists! By the way, why haven't we seen Ling Yuan for so long?"

Since Ren Xiao has changed the topic, and the boss is also an interesting person, he naturally will not continue to ask, and replied to Ren Xiao: "Alas, don't mention this girl!"

The boss also poured himself a glass of wine and said: "You don't know, although I am a daughter, but I am no different from a boy, I can't go home all day long, you see that I haven't been home for a long time, but I am also used to it, and I should come back in the next two days according to the usual time!"

Tong Qian took a bite of mutton and said, "I see, you will raise her as a son, and then you can find a son-in-law!" The boss was full of burden

worried: "Then someone must be able to take a fancy to her, don't hide it from the two, the little girl's lifelong event has become my trouble." Ren Xiao toasted the boss with a glass of wine and said: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, in my opinion, you take care of yourself, and she is sure of her own thoughts." ”

While talking, another wave of guests walked in, and the boss said to Ren Xiao and Tong Qian: "You eat slowly, I'm going to greet the guests!" Looking at the figure of the boss Lisuo, Ren Xiao whispered to Tong Qian: "I, who have no father and no mother, never know what it's like to be cared for by my parents." ”

Tong Qian ate beef and mutton, didn't raise his head, and said, "Who isn't!" Ren Xiao was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said: "By the way, Brother Tong, I haven't heard your story yet, can you tell me about it?" Tong Qian stopped the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

Ren Xiao pursed his lips, and the two ate for a while, Ren Xiao suddenly asked again: "I said before that the world thought you were dead, what's the matter?" Tong Qian slapped the chopsticks on the table and said, "If you don't want to eat, go and practice!"

On the moonlit branches, the village under the Xuanwu Mountain gradually returned to calm, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road, and the occasional barking of dogs could show some vitality.

Ren Xiaopan sat on a wooden pier in the middle of the courtyard, his eyes slightly closed, and the looming internal force surged around his body. After a stick of incense, Ren Xiao slowly collected his internal force, let out a long breath, and thought: "The book of the old-timers is really easy to use, I have only read less than half of it, and I feel that my control of internal force has improved a lot!"

He stood up from the wooden pier, took out the breeze and fallen leaves and held them in his hand, and then sent the internal force into the knife, only to see that the breeze and fallen leaves were surrounded by a red mist. Since Ren Xiao cultivated the internal force according to the method in the book, he found that the internal force that was invisible before was now gradually turning red, because he had long heard that everyone's internal force was manifested differently, so he was not too surprised when Ren Xiao found that his internal force was red.

"Splitting Stars Twelve Slashes!" Ren Xiao waved his hand and threw a piece of log into the sky, and then disappeared with a flick of the horizontal knife, and the previous white sword light now turned red, like a dancing flame.

"Brush, brush!" After twelve knives, Ren Xiao fell down and half-squatted on the ground to insert the breeze and fallen leaves back into the scabbard, and at the same time, the wooden blocks that had been chopped into neat pieces fell next to the firewood.

"Wow, now that the internal force is strong, even the effect of ordinary moves has been strengthened, it's really powerful!" Ren Xiao looked at his hands and said excitedly.

At this time, there was a burst of applause from the side, and Ren Xiao asked for a look, only to see a figure coming over.

"Childe is good at swordsmanship, like a frightening dragon, pleasing to the eye!", the speaker has two wide strands of dragon whiskers in front of his forehead, and the hair tied up from the back of his head with a red headband sways wantonly with the rhythm of walking. The black half-sleeved shirt has a red belt around the waist, and the white long sleeves are also tied with red rope at the cuffs. The whole person looks eccentric and dignified, with a faint smile on his vigorous face, looking at the person in front of him, Ren Xiao has an indescribable comfort.

"Thanks to the praise at your feet, Ren Xiao is ugly!" Ren Xiao said with a fist in his fist. The man is

Under the moonlight, his skin was as white as ordinary cold snow, "Your name is Ren Xiao, but Ren Xiao of the Spark Cold Knife?" The man walked over and sat on a wooden pier, and Ren Xiao nodded in affirmation.

The man said again: "I heard that you didn't go to Qingzhumen, why did you come to Xuanwu Mountain again?" Ren Xiao didn't expect this person to know his whereabouts so well, so he asked, "How does Gongzi know that he has gone down to Qingzhumen?"

Unexpectedly, when the man heard Ren Xiao call him "Childe", he smiled, and then said: "That day, I heard that there was a chivalrous man in the ancient city, and he became famous in the small city, so I had the heart to visit, but I never thought that after I went to the small city, this chivalrous man had already left, and after inquiring, I learned that he went to Qingzhumen, so I rushed to Qingzhumen, but I went late again, but I never thought that when I came back discouraged, I found that the person I was looking for was actually in my home!"

The person he was looking for in the other party's mouth was naturally Ren Xiao, but he asked puzzledly: "I haven't asked for the name of the next person?" The man looked at Ren Xiao and said: "The surname is Nangong in Xiafu, and his name is Chu Yan!" As for why I am looking for you, it is completely out of curiosity, and now I have heard the stories of those famous people on the rivers and lakes, so I want to dig out some new people and stories myself!"

Ren Xiao raised his head and silently recited the name in his mouth: "Nangong Chuyan, Nangong Chuyan, hehe, where do I feel like I've heard this name!" Nangong didn't care about this sentence, but leaned over to Ren Xiao's side and said: "It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get here, I haven't found you for so long, I didn't expect you to be in my home!" Ren Xiao thought for a while, suddenly reacted, and said: "You said this tavern belongs to your family?" Nangong nodded, and Ren Xiao said again: "It's not right!" The boss said that he only had one daughter and no son!"

Nangong covered his mouth and smiled: "When did I say that I am a man?" Ren Xiao rubbed his eyes and re-examined the person in front of him, and sure enough, his face was like a silver plate, his eyes were like apricots, his lips were red without dotting, and his eyebrows were green without painting.

Ren Xiao hurriedly took a few steps back and said, "Ah! If it's really a woman, please forgive me!" Nangong smiled and said, "Forgive me, but I have to punish you for telling me all your stories!" Ren Xiao has a special identity now, so he didn't dare to say these things casually, so he excused himself and said: "It's getting late today, let's talk about it another day!"

As soon as Ren Xiao said this, Nangong also opened his mouth and yawned, and said, "Okay, I'm sleepy too, so I'll talk about it tomorrow! Good night!" After speaking, he walked into his room, Ren Xiao looked at her back, and always felt that he had seen this person somewhere.

At night, Ren Xiao always felt that Nangong's figure lingered in front of his eyes, and finally fell asleep, but he had a strange dream. He dreamed that he was looking for someone, but Ye Lan and Feng Shang were by his side, he desperately searched, met Wutong on the way, saw the green kite again, and finally was with Tian Yuqi, but these people didn't seem to be the people he was looking for, when he was at a loss, a figure walked towards him in the distance, Ren Xiao only felt that this figure was both familiar and unfamiliar, he ran towards that person, but the other party left him again.

The strange dreams all night made it impossible for Ren Xiao to sleep peacefully.
