The news was brought by Gu Shi, and Xiao Fei hadn't gone to look for him yet, so he stopped Xiao Fei not far from Xiao Wanlin's study.

This news is very concise, there is only one word "urgent", it is a special communication method of "Jinghongmen", the time sent is six days ago, the client is Situ Shenjian, it seems that he also knew from Situ Chao's mouth that "Jinghongmen" is his own person.

The word "urgent" can't explain too much, after all, it has turned many times in the hands of "Jinghongmen", and it is impossible for Gu Shi to know too much useful information in a short period of time. But this word does show that the current situation of Situ, Leng Qiuhe and others is not optimistic, at least Situ Shenjian does not have time for them to bring more messages.

Xiao Fei knew the urgency of the matter, and immediately returned to Xiao Wanlin's study again, the father and son discussed carefully for nearly half an hour, and discussed the small and small matters of the Xiao family properly, Xiao Fei came out and went directly to Han Yubing's residence, and sure enough, the little sister was also here.

Talking to Han Yubing, he was concise and clear, and directly said that he was about to leave. And Han Yubing, he must stay in Xiao Mansion for half a month to completely heal his injuries, as a killer over the years, he has too many secret injuries on his body, and this time he must take the opportunity to cure them once and leave no future troubles. didn't shy away from Yin Xiaomei, this girl knew that her brother was about to travel far away, and she had something important to do, and she didn't show sadness and reluctance on the spot, but just told her brother over and over again to pay attention to her body.

After lunch, Xiao Fei took time to go to the "Baicao Garden", after all, the two first-class masters there were not lightly injured the night before, although the methods of the "Xiangxi Ghost Hand" were also extremely clever, but he still couldn't rest assured if he didn't go to see it. Also, you must replenish the medicine on your body before leaving, and you don't know how long it will take to come back when you go out this time, so prepare some more things just in case. It's not impossible to configure drugs with Xiao Fei's means outside, but now looking at Daming, this is the place where all kinds of drugs are most complete, and the Imperial Medical Bureau in the palace is estimated to be able to win with all kinds of precious tonic medicines.

When I returned from the "Hundred Herb Garden", it was almost evening. Let's just leave tomorrow, Xiao Fei went to say goodbye to Mrs. Xiao after dinner.

Before midnight the next day, Xiao Fei quietly left Xiao's mansion on a fast horse, without alarming anyone, but it was estimated that he couldn't hide it from Xiao Wanlin. This old man is like a huge spider in the middle of a spider's web, and no wind or grass can hide from his ears and eyes.

As winter approaches, the weather is getting colder. Xiao Fei's mental and physical strength at this time were different from the past, he did not panic because he was in a hurry, and still turned back according to the route he took when he went south to Hangzhou a few days ago, this route was selected by Xiao Fei after careful consideration, and he was able to avoid most of the more powerful forces in the rivers and lakes, regardless of good or evil.

When passing by Anqing, Xiao Fei changed his appearance slightly, and inquired a little, and the "Chenjiazhai" was slaughtered overnight shortly after the fall of the "Green Willow Villa", and almost no chickens and dogs were left. Among them, Chen Yifeng, Chen Leopard father and son, and "Ghost Sword Man" Zhang Jizi all died very miserably. This incident spread widely in the local area, and the murderer did not deliberately hide it, and many people could tell the murderer's appearance with a nose and an eye.

This tragedy was committed by two people, one was a raunchy old man with a sword, and the other was a young man with a knife with a cold face. The former's martial arts skills are extremely high, but his shot is not ruthless, he just came to the door to single-handedly attack Zhang Jizi and seriously injured him. And the young swordsman who came later was a killer without saying a word, and Chen Leopard, who was seriously injured and not healed, was slashed by him without even saying a word.

Unexpectedly, Han Yubing was also involved, and this kid didn't mention it to himself in the past two days. It seems that in the eyes of this kid, it is still a matter that can be solved with a knife.

When they arrived at the northern foot of Taihang Mountain, they were only less than two hundred miles away from where the Lengqiu River was located. Xiao Fei became more and more cautious on the road, this is already a mixed place, and he often sees all kinds of martial arts people walking hurriedly on the roadside, and he can't tell whether he is friend or foe, Xiao Fei has to change his face and horses again and again, and be cautious all the way.

"But Brother Xiao in person?"

At noon, Xiao Fei opened the folding fan to shield himself from the dazzling sunlight and heat, rode on a horse and pretended to be a merchant to hurry, and a knight who had just crossed by turned around to say hello. Can anyone else recognize himself after the disguise? Xiao Fei grabbed the reins and looked back.

"Long Shaoxia?" is actually Long Yuxuan, the young master of the Longyou Shogunate who has had a relationship with Shaomu Mountain.

"Sure enough, it's Brother Xiao!" Long Yuxuan was overjoyed, and shook the reins to urge the horse forward, "If it weren't for the familiarity of your folding fan, I wouldn't dare to recognize it for a while." ”

It turned out that the problem was the folding fan, Xiao Fei smiled and put away the folding fan in his hand, "Why is Long Shaoxia here?"

"It has been a few months since Brother Xiao and Brother Xiao hurriedly parted in Shaolin Temple that day, and the younger brother followed all the martial arts colleagues to find out the news of the two, hoping to help them when they needed it. Long Yuxuan smiled bitterly, "In the past few months, I was able to help a little in a hurry, but recently they suddenly disappeared in the Northland. Now the younger brother is about to go to the Shaolin Temple to explain the situation here to Master Huaisheng, who went back last month because of an incident. ”

Long Yuxuan should be at least three or four years older than Xiao Fei, but now he is calling "Brother Xiao", which is not embarrassing at all. This person belongs to the smiling tiger type, Xiao Fei has never dared to underestimate him, since the "Xia Shao League" unscrupulously dealt with Han Yubing, and then there is the specious "dragon shape" technique on his body, these have always been Xiao Fei's fears. Although the "phoenix wings" mental method of "Jinghongmen" has now had a reasonable explanation, Xiao Fei has always been wary of people like Long Yuxuan. What's more, he can recognize himself from the folding fan, which shows that he has always been very attentive to himself and has carefully observed every detail of his body. Xiao Fei even suspected that even if he didn't take out the folding fan, Long Yuxuan would recognize him from other aspects.

"Long Shaoxia still don't call him 'Brother Xiao', you see that the age of the lower teeth is less than double ten, and he really can't afford to be called Brother Long. Xiao Fei said with a smile.

"What did Brother Xiao say!" Long Yuxuan said when he approached Xiao Fei, "It was Long Mou's willingness to call Your Excellency a brother. Since my brother saved his life in Shaolin Temple, Long has regarded his brother as a reborn parent, even if he is respected as a brother, the younger brother is afraid of wronging Brother Xiao. ”

"Brother Long, please stop," Xiao Fei smiled bitterly, "If it is according to what you say, wouldn't Xiao have to recognize a lot of brothers with a lot of beards and eyebrows! Although it is not in the rivers and lakes, there is always a little bit of morality. If you are so polite again, you and I will go our separate ways in the future. ”

"Okay, Mr. is so good!" Long Yuxuan raised his hand and saluted, "Mr. Benyi, in the future, Long will call you 'Mr. Xiao', so that you will not be called old, hahaha." ”

Xiao Fei shook his head, "According to you, according to you!"

"Mr. Xiao, where are you going?"

Long Yuxuan asked with a smile.

"A few months ago, there were some trivial matters at home in Hangzhou, and Xiao returned to his hometown to deal with them. At that time, I said goodbye to Brother Situ in a hurry, and I was very reluctant. The matter at home is over, so I went back to the north again, thinking about drinking with him again and traveling with the rivers and lakes. ”

Xiao Fei explained half-truthfully, he had a very close relationship with Situ Shenjian, and Long Yuxuan knew it.

"I really envy Situ Shaoxia for having a confidant like you, who traveled thousands of miles from Jiangnan to Northern Xinjiang to attend the meeting, although you are not in the rivers and lakes, such a friendship will also be a good story. ”

Long Yuxuan praised it, and seemed to be very envious of such a friendship.

Brother Long laughed. Xiao was born in a merchant family, and he spent all day trading at home and drilling in the pile of old papers, which had long felt boring. I was fortunate enough to meet Brother Situ during my study tour last year, and only then did I see the wonders of the rivers and lakes, and I was able to follow him to meet a young man like Long Shaoxia, what a blessing in life! I am not afraid of Brother Long's jokes, this time I went home, and I lived the days of hard study in the cold window a few days ago, and it was really like sitting on pins and needles to spend my days like a year! I thought back to how happy I was when I traveled with Brother Situ in the past few months. ”

"Mr. is so free and easy, you are the real person in the rivers and lakes!"

Long Yuxuan laughed.

"I don't know if Brother Long has any news of Brother Situ? I won't tell you that I haven't heard from him for more than a month. Xiao Fei asked.

"About ten days ago, I met Situ Shaoxia in a mountain market town about one hundred and fifty miles north of Xia, and the leader of the Situ Old Alliance was also present at that time, and they should also be inquiring about the whereabouts of those two. After that, I never saw them again. ”

Long Yuxuan thought for a moment and replied, what he said was similar to what Xiao Fei had learned. The "two" he kept talking about in his mouth meant Leng Qiuhe and the prince, Lu Zuo met, and he did not say the identities of the two to show caution. The day he met Shen Jian is estimated to be the time when Situ Shen Jian sent him a message through the "Jinghong Gate". Was it because he met Long Yuxuan and the others that Situ noticed that things were starting to get serious? Xiao Fei became more and more wary of Long Yuxuan.

"Actually, Situ Daxia is also there, and he should go to pay a visit in the future. Xiao Fei said happily, "It's just that why didn't Brother Situ write to me for so long? Could it be that he has something to do?"

"I don't know about this, but I also stepped forward to talk to the leader of the Situ Old Alliance at that time. Situ Shaoxia was in good condition, not injured, and was laughing with Yang Lian and the others. Maybe he thinks that the situation in the Northland is unstable now, and he doesn't want Mr. to get involved. ”

Long Yuxuan kindly persuaded him, as if he didn't want Xiao Fei to have a gap between him and Situ Shenjian.

Xiao Fei is so smart, he has already heard Long Yuxuan's intentions: Situ Shenjian is in a good state, he is in a good mood, and he can still laugh and chat with the generals on the side, but he doesn't write to you, it seems that he has long forgotten you, a scholar's confidant. Although it may not immediately cause Xiao Fei to misunderstand, it will also put a thorn in his heart. This is a heart-wrenching remark to sow discord, and Xiao Fei is now even more sure that the person in front of him is an out-and-out sinister person.

"Alas, maybe Brother Situ has his own troubles. Anyway, since we've come here, let's go and meet again. ”

Hearing the uncertainty in Xiao Fei's words, Long Yuxuan's face flashed with joy and immediately disappeared.

"If it weren't for Long's eagerness to go to Shaolin, he would have to travel to the north with Mr.," Long Yuxuan said with pity, "I just hope that Mr. can spend some more time in the north, and when Long returns, he will definitely conspire with Mr. to get drunk!"

"In this case, Xiao will not delay Brother Long's time," Xiao Fei saluted and said goodbye, "Brother Long take care all the way, and wait for you to return in Northern Xinjiang." ”

"Okay! Mr. Xiao is refreshed! We will meet later!" Long Yuxuan clenched his fists and said, "Take the next step!"

Seeing Long Yuxuan riding his horse away, Xiao Fei thought for a while, and then turned his horse's head and continued to go north.
