At the beginning of April in the seventh year of Tianjiao, there was a drizzle in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, located at the foot of Wudang Mountain in Yanzhou, which was very lively at the moment, and was not affected by the rain in the south of the Yangtze River at all.

Fan Qing and others, who came by appointment, were walking in the downtown of the town with Zhao Zhen and Chu Wuji.

Because he has been hanging out with Zhao Zhen, a swinger, and hasn't seen him for half a year, Chu Wuji's size hasn't grown much, but his stomach is slightly bulging. After taking a bite of the chicken leg in his hand, Chu Wuji puffed out his cheeks and asked Zhao Zhen, "Brother Zhao, are we here early? Isn't the martial arts conference held on July 7th!"

Throwing away the chicken leg bones in his hand, Zhao Zhen rubbed his lips twice, and explained with a sense of melancholy, "If we come later, I'm afraid this Wudang Mountain will become your cousin's graveyard." Liaodong and his party, he first killed the revenge and Pingyu, and then removed the palace of the king, the movement was too big, if it was only like that, then it would be enough, according to the words from the capital, the king of the king had a grandson under his knees, who was rescued by him and the king of Zhao, such a big handle, you said that the king of the emperor would easily let him go? It is reported that Zhang Yuqi, the chief arrester of the six doors of the criminal department, has already gone south and is rushing to Wudang Mountain, and there is a killer with unknown intentions behind him, do you say I won't come?"

Hearing this, Chu Wuji opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, "They want to secretly eradicate my cousin?"

Rolling his eyes depressedly, Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "Da Liang's imperial inheritance is to choose the best, so after the new emperor ascends the throne, all the princes under his knees must go out of the palace to open the palace, in order to be able to select the best prince to inherit the throne, whether it is the Zongzheng Mansion or the imperial court or His Majesty, he has never been concerned about the guests in the hands of each prince, even if he has raised a large number of martial arts killers, no one will come forward to accuse!"

Chu Wuji, who had gained a lot of knowledge, hurriedly continued to ask: "Then aren't you afraid that this person will release a killer to bring disaster to the capital? Assassinating the prince is a capital crime!"

With a wry smile, Zhao Zhen pointed at the other party, then pointed at himself, and said helplessly, "This is the family, since the pre-Qin period, there are many families in the world, no matter which family is the inheritance, it is absolutely impossible to avoid blood, and even in the eyes of some people, being killed can only say that he is not good, and he can't rely on others." And if you think about it the other way, if you can use the power of an assassin to defeat your opponent at the feet of the Son of Heaven, do you think such a person will be just a murderer?"

Thinking about the infighting that occurred when he ascended to the position of head of the family that day, Chu Wuji said weakly, "That's the reason!"

patting the other party's little head, Zhao Zhen said earnestly, "That's why I will bring you over this arrangement, and on the day your cousin arrives in Yanzhou, you will be able to see how sinister people's hearts are!"

Chong Zhao Zhen nodded as if he didn't understand, and Chu Wuji said with feeling, "I really want to see my cousin soon!"

Zhao Zhen also looked longing, and smiled lightly, "It's almost there!"

At the same time, in the most luxurious Xuxue Building in the town, a woman with tied hair was sitting at the window on the second floor, staring blankly at Wudang Mountain, with the identity of the second grandfather, she knew what Dongfang Yi did in the southeast and Liaodong, but she didn't expect it to come, Bai Qinming actually jumped out and broke the matter. Shangguan Qiuyan has never had a good impression of this half-master, and always felt that he was too rigid, and even a little unsympathetic, but after this incident, she missed the old man who always rolled her eyes at them.

Picking up a cup of tea that had been cooled and bringing it to her lips, Shangguan Qiuyan sneered and muttered, "Old man Bai, old man Bai, what do you say I am mixed with you?

Just as Shangguan Qiuyan was muttering to herself, a small Dao Gu led a cold and pretty woman to the second floor and walked straight towards her.

Hearing the discussion around him, Shangguan Qiuyan didn't look back, and ordered the shopkeeper, "A pot of Tieguanyin, and a few more plates of pastries." ”

Looking at the other party's commanding appearance, Liu Ran stopped the shopkeeper who was about to go downstairs, and said lightly, "No need, this seat doesn't like tea!"

Who knew that Shangguan Qiuyan suddenly turned around, leaned against the window, made a bird-like appearance, and said with a smile, "You think too much, I am here for Yue'er, in case it becomes a family in the future, how can I have a good relationship in advance, something will happen, right?

Hearing the three words of the Lord of Liumen, Shangguan Qiuyan's tone was aggravated, Liu Ran paused, brushed the dust to block Dongfang Yue, who wanted to say hello, and sneered, "There are more than twenty people, why are you more shameless the more you live?"

Picking up the hair on the sideburns, Shangguan Qiuyan chuckled and said, "That little guy has a mantra, have you heard it on the Jade Void Peak? The tree will die if it doesn't have its bark, and the person will be invincible in the world, in the face of you, the great master, this girl can't be martial arts, in case that sentence makes you unhappy, can't I use my mouth to find a place in advance?"

Seeing that the war between the two was intensifying, Dongfang Yue hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him, "Sister Qiuyan, Master, you just don't have to say a few words, don't we still have something to talk about!"

Hearing this, Liu Ran, who wanted to do it directly, snorted coldly at Shangguan Qiuyan, "One day I will tear your mouth apart!"

Shangguan Qiuyan was not to be outdone, and said, "Each other, each other!"

Dongfang Yue's master and apprentice paced to Shangguan Qiuyan's table, in order to prevent Liu Ran from arguing with Shangguan Qiuyan, Dongfang Yue looked around, and hurriedly asked Shangguan Qiuyan Zhengse, "When I went down the mountain with my master a few days ago, I did meet a group of black-clothed people with unknown intentions, dare to ask Sister Qiuyan, who are these people?"

Glancing at the calm Liu Ran, Shangguan Qiuyan sat up straight, pinched the teacup in his hand, and said in a condensed voice, "To be honest, I don't know who they are, before your master and apprentice, Qiuxue Palace received several batches of reports about this group of people, each of which directly pointed to the ten major sects, you also know the strength of my Qiuxue Palace, although it is not a big sect, but the intelligence is all the way, I dare to say that except for the shadow guards of the imperial court, there is no one in the rivers and lakes to compare." ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Yue glanced at his master, then gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, "Are they only targeting the ten major sects?"

Shangguan Qiuyan nodded and said, "That's right!"

After a pause, Shangguan Qiuyan turned her head to look at Liu Ran, and asked in an inexplicable tone, "Do you remember what happened before that bloody case back then?"

Hearing Shangguan Qiuyan's words, Liu Ran opened his eyes and asked with burning eyes, "You said they have something to do with that group of people back then?"

Who knew that Shangguan Qiuyan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, the goal of this group of people is different from back then, and sometimes I wonder if the group of people we saw back then are really killers sent by the Northern Desert." ”

Nineteen years ago, two years before the murder of Chu Wenhao, Bei Mo had sent more than 1,000 assassins to infiltrate Da Liang and assassinate famous literati in Da Liang at that time, wanting to establish the hegemony of the literary world in Bei Desert.

With a sneer, Liu Ran gritted his teeth and said, "Don't doubt it, if you receive news from this group of people, remember to send a message to me, I want to see what the killers of the 'Northern Desert' are, and they can sneak into my Daliang territory three times and twice." ”

Regarding Liu Ran and Shangguan Qiuyan's past, Dongfang Yue only knew a little about it, so she didn't want to interject, but judging from the tone of the two, the identity of that group of people obviously involved their taboos, otherwise it would be impossible for Liu Ran's eyes to burst out with such a cold murderous aura.

Glancing at the trembling outsiders on the second floor, Dongfang Yue coughed lightly, pulled back Shangguan Qiuyan's gaze, and immediately asked in a low voice, "Sister Qiuyan, do you have any news about my brother?"

Nodding, Shangguan Qiuyan smiled and said, "That little guy's affairs in the southeast must not be hidden from you, but his affairs in Liaodong, I am afraid you don't know, this time he went to Liaodong, he not only killed the head of the enemy family, Qiu Pingyu, but also pulled out the thorn in your father's heart, and now he has entered the Arhat realm, and is rushing to Wudang Mountain at the moment." ”

Knowing that Dongfang Yi was fine, Dongfang Yue smiled and expressed her gratitude, as for what he did outside, Dongfang Yue didn't care at all, because she firmly believed that Dongfang Yi was definitely not the kind of person who had nothing to do.

Seeing that his apprentice had a long-lost smile on his face, Liu Ran temporarily threw aside the anger in his heart, shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Fortunately, that kid from the Zhao family is not by your side at the moment, otherwise how can you let His Royal Highness King Heng get along with him in the future!"

At the mention of Zhao Zhen, Dongfang Yueqiao's face was cold, and he said with deserved disdain, "Just him, Xiao Jiu still knows how to improve martial arts, what about him, he knows that he is leading the children of the Chu family to cause trouble outside, a year has passed, and he hasn't even touched the threshold of a product, and he is still a little god of war, I am ashamed of the second uncle!"

Listening to Dongfang Yue's complaints, Shangguan Qiuyan smiled indifferently, perhaps feeling sad for the eldest son of the Zhao family, so Shangguan Qiuyan glanced at the street outside the window and quipped, "Aren't you afraid that he will run to Tianzhu Peak and jump off the cliff when he hears this?"

Dongfang Yue snorted disdainfully and said, "Pull it down, if he wants to have this face, it won't be Zhao Zhen!"

At this time, Liu Ran also glanced at the street with pity, patted his apprentice's jade hand, and jokingly said, "Let's go, let's go up the mountain first, the boy of the Zhao family should come to this martial arts conference, and then the master will teach him a lesson for you!"

Seeing that Liu Ran was making fun of herself, Dongfang Yue's cheeks suddenly blushed, and she got up and walked quickly towards the stairs.

After Dongfang Yue left, Liu Ran returned to his initial indifference, got up and stared at Shangguan Qiuyan and warned, "You should know Yue'er's worries about His Royal Highness King Heng, if you let me know that you are using His Royal Highness King Heng, then don't blame me for not remembering the sisterhood of the past!"

After speaking, Liu Ran shook off the dust and walked slowly to the stairs.

Looking at Liu Ran's back, Shangguan Qiuyan glanced at the empty teacup that instantly evaporated in her hand, and said to herself with a smile, "Sisterhood?"

Approaching the Xuxue Tower, Zhao Zhen glanced up at the sky, and ordered Fan Qing and the others behind him, "Take someone to find Wuxin, Xu Meng, and Lin Baichuan, and take them here!"

"Whoa!"

Waiting for Fan Qing and the others to leave, Zhao Zhen patted Chu Wuji's shoulder, pointed to the second floor of Xuxue Building, and smacked his lips and said, "Wuji, remember that if something happens to me for a while, you must not leave me and run away, with your cousin's relationship, the aunt above will never offend you!"

Chu Wuji tilted his head and wondered, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand to follow the raindrops, and said tragically, "The pedestrians on the road want to break their souls, your brother is going to break their souls!"
