Fu Cheng is a tax, his first reaction was to dodge, but Zhou Xuanyi didn't give him this chance, he looked at him directly, staring at him with black and white eyes, very pure waiting for Fu Cheng's answer.

Fu Cheng was a little panicked, he was very nervous, even if he was expelled from Zhengxuan Mountain, he had never been so nervous. Fu Cheng didn't dare to stare into Zhou Xuanyi's eyes, even if Fu Cheng was so afraid in the face of his terrifyingly powerful master.

Finally, Fu Cheng sighed and said, "You don't know me. ”

Zhou Xuanyi has been waiting for Fu Cheng to answer, he understands Fu Cheng's character, Fu Cheng is invincible in the battlefield, and all the dangers are borne by himself, but Fu Cheng can't face the simplest feelings, he can't accept someone to get close to him at all, whenever someone wants to get closer to him, Fu Cheng's first reaction must be to dodge. But even so, Fucheng's answer was disappointing.

Zhou Xuanyi said: "You didn't give me a chance. ”

Yes, Fucheng has never given Zhou Xuanyi any chance, Fucheng's heart is like a cold house, refusing to be open to people from beginning to end.

Fu Cheng didn't have any desire to mention the past, he made up his mind that he would not tell the second person in this life, and these things should be rotten in his stomach and brought into the coffin with him.

Fu Cheng glanced at Zhou Xuanyi's eyes, the other party was so determined, he didn't give an inch, forcing Fu Cheng to face his heart, but Fu Cheng couldn't do it, he trembled and lifted the teapot on the table, and said to himself: "I'll go add some water." ”

Zhou Xuanyi looked at the full teapot, because of Fucheng's actions, the tea spilled out of the spout, and Zhou Xuanyi didn't break it, he smiled and thought, escaped.

Zhou Xuanyi held his chin with one hand and looked at the back of Fucheng fleeing. Zhou Xuanyi smiled bitterly, thinking, I want to wait for you slowly, but I don't have time to wait for you slowly.

Fu Cheng knows a lot about himself, he has never looked down on himself, and most of the time he feels that he should rot to death in the broken alley of Liuyin Lane.

After that conversation, Fu Cheng wanted to pretend that it hadn't happened, but how could this kind of thing not happen if it hadn't happened? Fu Cheng couldn't be idle, and when he was idle, his mind was like a wild horse.

Zhou Xuanyi looked no different from usual, and went to the school to teach as usual. Fu Cheng got up early and sent Zhou Xuanyi to the school, and privately instructed Jin Ling to keep an eye on it, and then returned to Liuyin Lane, he wanted to completely solve the group of people who were secretly staring at Zhou Xuanyi in Liuyin Lane.

Fu Cheng had just walked back to the ruined temple, when he suddenly felt a strong wind behind him, and a knife was stuck in his sleeve and nailed to the door, the red tassels on the knife were shaking, and a note was nailed under the tip of the knife.

Fu Cheng opened the note, and there was an extremely simple sentence on it, "Zhangjia Tavern, Huang Siye." ”

Fu Cheng didn't have any expression after reading it, his palm exerted force, and the note turned into a smear of powder in his hand, completely wiped out.

Huang Siye should start from Liuyin Lane, or from the rivers and lakes of the entire Bailu City.

The rivers and lakes are very large, there are many famous and decent families, and the evil devils and crooked ways are also Hengxiao, and the rivers and lakes have never been monolithic. In the martial arts, for a hundred years, there has been a sharp weapon called "what you can get", and the one sitting high in the temple can't sit on the dragon chair under the buttocks.

The relationship between martial arts and temples is very ingenious, one flourishes and one declines. If it is peaceful, there will be nothing to do in the martial arts, and the famous heroes can only shrink in the ravines and recite scriptures. Only in the chaos can there be a hero who is famous, and a hero who is born in a chaotic world, this is the truth.

Now is the best era of chivalry, Emperor Yongle is incompetent and martyred, and Dongchang has killed many loyal and righteous people. There are many heroes in the rivers and lakes who are supported by the people, and the reputation of Jiang Zhi, the eldest disciple of Zhengxuanshan, has spread to Bailu City.

Having said that, the rivers and lakes are different from martial arts, they don't pay attention to the establishment of sects, nor do they pay attention to any rules, but pay attention to the word grievances.

The martial arts standing on the edge of the famous river are called martial arts, Zhengxuan Mountain is martial arts, Tang Gate is also martial arts, and Bailu City, which is far away on the border, cannot be called martial arts.

Bailu City is isolated from Wulin, and if there is a strong wind outside, Bailu City will hear a sound, and what kind of shocking case has happened in Bailu City, in the eyes of the big people outside, it is worse than ants.

Bailu City has its own rivers and lakes, and Liuyin Lane is the largest one in the world.

The world of the swordsman is simple, yet complex. When it's simple, you only look at money, and when it's complicated, you can't look at it when it's complicated.

If you kill me, I will kill you. This is probably the biggest creed.

The swordsmen in Liuyin Lane can't get used to anyone on weekdays, but they can twist into a rope in private. Get rich together, and die together.

Over time, a gang-like thing was born in Liuyin Lane, and the knife owner was a figure who called himself Huang Siye. Fu Cheng didn't even figure out who Huang Yiye was, let alone accept Huang Siye. I heard that Huang Siye was originally a desert swordsman, from the Western Regions Jade City, he was a famous figure when he was young, and at that time he saved some money and bought the entire Liuyin Alley, giving the outlaws in the south and north a place to stay.

The swordsman in Liuyin Lane is surprisingly particular about the word affection, and he has more respect for this Huang Siye.

Fucheng is an outlier in Liuyin Lane, he doesn't participate in these things, and he didn't deal with Huang Siye when he bought the broken temple, and there are very few people who have seen Huang Siye.

Huang Siye was originally very jealous of Fucheng, looking for someone to stare at him all day long, staring at Fucheng for a year, and found that he just didn't kill people, and there was nothing strange about it, so he relaxed his vigilance against Fucheng, but he didn't expect Fucheng to bring a person, a person who couldn't talk to.

Fu Cheng walked into the Zhangjia Tavern, the tavern was the same as the time when he listened to the swordsmen's idle chatter, and the tavern table was still oily. The tavern was dim and dark, and it was impossible to see Rao's expression clearly from two tables, so it was really an excellent place to talk about business.

As soon as Fu Cheng entered, a group of swordsmen stared at the two of them, eager to stare out of a hole. There weren't many people sitting in the tavern, Fu Cheng glanced at it, there were only fifteen people, fifteen people just happened to be good hands in Liuyin Lane, Fu Cheng sneered, is this Huang Siye afraid that Fu Cheng will kill him or what?

The seats at the door were full, and Fu Cheng could only walk to the only empty table in the innermost part. Fu Cheng sat for a while, and was looked at by everyone, but Huang Siye had not yet appeared.

Fu Cheng knew that Huang Siye was setting up a score for himself, so he was not in a hurry, so he asked the shopkeeper for a jar of the best sorghum wine.

Fu Cheng couldn't drink it after a few sips of sorghum wine, he lived a good life, only a good sip of wine. This sorghum wine is too inferior, mixed with a lot of water. Fucheng can only eat peanuts and pass the time of boredom.

At this time, the curtain of the tavern was lifted, and Fu Cheng first saw a young girl, there should be no young woman in Liuyin Lane except for Jin Ling, let alone a girl in the prime of her cardamom years. The girl was dressed in black, with a steadiness beyond her age, and a pair of eyes that had been through vicissitudes, and Fu Cheng knew at a glance that this person was not a real girl.

She was afraid that if she practiced some kind of kung fu, she would not grow much from now on, because as soon as she opened her mouth, her hoarse voice immediately betrayed her age, "The fourth master is here." The sound was as steady as a bell, and her voice echoed in every corner of the tavern.

The swordsmen in the tavern suddenly stood up in unison and called out respectfully, "Knife master." “

This is the first time Fucheng has seen the mysterious Huang Siye, who was led out by a woman of unknown age, really led, Huang Siye was lame on one leg and walked extremely staggeringly, and the woman acted as a crutch-like function, supporting Huang Siye all the way.

Huang Siye was wearing a huge hat, covering his entire face, and he was wearing a simple sauce-colored robe, which at first glance had no magical powers, and he couldn't see anything when he threw it into the crowd.

As soon as Huang Siye stepped into the Zhangjia Tavern, the two swordsmen locked the door with a bang.

Huang Siye sat at the table in Fucheng with the support of Liu Sandao, and the swordsmen next to him did not mean to sit down again, but surrounded the table in Fucheng. It is a precept that Fucheng cannot kill, and there is little room for his hands in a narrow space like a tavern. In the case of a large number of people, it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows.

It's probably not that easy to get out of here today.

Fu Cheng asked, "What do you mean?"

Huang Siye didn't say anything, he took off his hat, Fu Cheng didn't want to see his face. People who always cover their faces on weekdays always have their own reasons, whether they are too ugly or too beautiful, or just to cover their whereabouts. Seeing Rao's face, he is always one point closer to danger.

Huang Siye didn't give Fu Cheng a chance to refuse at all, because his face was terrifying, Fu Cheng had nowhere to hide, and he was deeply shocked by this face.

For the first time, Fu Cheng understood what it meant to have a thousand cuts, and Huang Siye's face seemed to have been cut by thousands of knives, and a bucket of hot water was splashed. There was no good skin and flesh on the whole face, the knife marks and the hot skin and flesh were mixed together, and the left eye was gouged out, leaving a dark hole. The lips were crooked, like a piece of rotten flesh hanging from the face. One nostril is turned out, and the nose is wrinkled.

Fu Cheng didn't say anything for a long time, this is just his face, the exposed skin, from his neck to his wrists, is exactly the same as the marks on his face. It was difficult for Fu Cheng to guess what Huang Siye had experienced, and he was afraid that he would crawl out of hell.

The swordsmen in the tavern all lowered their heads, and no one dared to look at Huang Siye's face, as if it was the face of an evil ghost, and if they looked at it, they would suffer from the skin and flesh of the oil pot. There was an eerie silence in the tavern.

Fu Cheng came back to his senses and took his eyes off Huang Siye's face with difficulty. Fu Cheng pondered whether Huang Siye wanted to be open and honest, or whether he wanted to kill people and kill people.

Huang Siye opened his mouth, his throat was also broken, and when he spoke, he was accompanied by Hehe's wind, "Xiuxiu will drink, and the others will wait outside." ”

The rest of the swordsmen were relieved, they all exhaled heavily, lowered their heads and slowly exited the tavern, leaving Xiuxiu alone to accompany Huang Siye.

Fu Cheng didn't move the glass of wine in front of him, staring at the ripples on the wine surface, the departure of the swordsmen made Fu Cheng relax a little, but looking at Huang Siye in front of him, he felt that this thing was very weird.

When Huang Siye spoke, the two lips were like wriggling worms, and the sound he made was actually very thin when he listened carefully, not quite like a male voice, and his remaining one eye was just staring at Fu Cheng, and he said, "I know who you are." “

Fu Cheng didn't move, he never bothered to hide his identity, Huang Siye followed Fu Cheng for a whole year, and he kept trying to inquire about it for a year, and it was normal to learn this news.

Huang Siye continued: "I've been staring at you for a whole year, and I can't figure out one thing, how did you survive that time in Shacheng?"

Fucheng never did business with the swordsmen of Willow Shade Lane, except for one exception. Huang Siye's is Shacheng, it was a battle that Liuyin Lane has been unimaginable for decades, with heavy losses, almost all of the one hundred and sixty swordsmen sent by Liuyin Lane were slaughtered, and Fucheng was the only one who survived that battle.

Shacheng was full of corpses, and Fu Cheng stood alone in the midst of the corpses, he could not kill, nor did he break the ring, because he walked into the battlefield with an unedged knife. Who killed these people has always been a hurdle in Huang Siye's heart.

Fu Cheng remembered the bloody battle in Sand City, and uncontrollably showed a disgusted expression, "Why should I tell you?"

Huang Siye smiled, when he laughed, it was even more weird, his facial features were constantly pulling, it was difficult to call it a smile, it was simply a ghost crying wolf. "I always want to thank you. ”

Fucheng defended the Battle of Shacheng, and he was paid a lot of money. also guarded a piece of land for Huang Siye, which is the capital for Liuyin Lane to be able to "do business" in Shacheng in the future, if that battle fails, Liuyin Lane is now estimated to be the territory of the desert swordsman.

Fu Cheng said indifferently: "The fourth master is polite." ”

Huang Siye said: "I always feel that I owe you a favor, and now it's time to pay it back to you." ”

"That brother in your temple caused a lot of trouble, and someone paid 20,000 taels of gold to buy his life. When Huang Siniang came here, she paused and carefully observed Fu Cheng's reaction, "The reward order was issued yesterday, I pressed it, and I wanted to come over and ask what you mean." ”

Fu Cheng smiled bitterly, Zhou Xuanyi is really valuable, twenty thousand taels, and the biggest reward before Liuyin Lane is only five thousand taels. If anyone gets 20,000 taels, he can buy a large piece of land and become a landlord, or buy an official to play. In short, with this money, you can completely break free from Willow Shade Lane. No one can refuse such a temptation, everyone hasn't done it yet, in addition to Huang Siye's pressure, there is another reason - Fucheng.

Huang Siye looked at Fu Cheng and lowered his eyes, and said, "I can't control the people below, and no one wants to do anything with you in my selfish heart." ”

It's hard to describe what Fucheng represents in Liuyin Lane. In the world of swordsmen, kung fu is emphasized, no one has ever tried Fucheng, only knows that Fucheng kung fu is good, and no one knows how good it is. But what they are more afraid of than kung fu is Chuan, a person who can't kill a knife man and survive the most terrifying battle, this is the most feared, you don't know what tricks he has, and he knows almost nothing.

Huang Siye came to negotiate with Fucheng, in addition to his own selfishness, it was also the meaning of the swordsman in Liuyin Lane. As long as Fucheng loosened his mouth, Zhou Xuanyiming would be killed by the swordsmen who attacked him in groups. But even if Fucheng doesn't let go, for 20,000 taels, there are a lot of people who are willing to take risks.

It stands to reason that Fu Cheng didn't want to go against the entire Willow Alley, which would mean endless trouble for him, and also meant bloodshed and death. He should have left it alone, but he couldn't convince himself. What the specific reason is, Fu Cheng can't think of it, but let Zhou Xuanyi die under his nose, Fu Cheng can't do it.

Fu Cheng's lips moved, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "This person, I will protect it." ”

Huang Siye was disappointed when he heard this, and sighed, he believed the rumors in Liuyin Lane, could Zhou Xuanyi really be the concubine of Fucheng, otherwise how could he work so hard to protect him. When a bounty order comes out, the person who is offered a bounty can also double the price and let the swordsman protect him. But it was impossible for Zhou Xuanyi to come up with 40,000 taels. Fucheng is completely doing free trading, which can be regarded as charity.

Huang Siye said disappointedly: "I'll help you press one more at most, knowing that you are doing it yourself." ”

Fu Cheng glanced at Huang Siye and said in his heart, "Thank you." ”

Fu Cheng lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked, "Who sent the reward order?"

Huang Siye smiled bitterly, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't tell who your guests are." ”

Fucheng nodded, this is the rule of the rivers and lakes, and it can't be broken.

But he doesn't seem to care, and if he asks, he must tell you. ”

Fu Cheng chuckled in his heart, he had already guessed who it was, and sure enough, Huang Siye said, "Lord Zhenbei." "Even if the ups and downs outside have spread all over the place, Zhou Xuanyi still continues to be a teacher, if Xiahou Mansion is convicted of rebellion, Xiahou Mansion will either be connected to the Nine Clans or exiled to the frontier, and none of them will be able to escape. Therefore, Zhou Xuanyi's plan to use the academy to catch up with Xiahou Mansion should have failed across the board, but even so, Zhou Xuanyi still couldn't go to Wande Academy, he needed an identity, and he also wanted to find something trivial for himself to distract, at least not to mix with Fucheng.

Jin Ling can feel that the relationship between Zhou Xuanyi and Fu Cheng has changed again, although it is still awkward, but it is different from the previous one, and now it seems to be a bit broken, sticky, it should be developing in a good direction.

After experiencing the strange boy, Jin Ling would be very vigilant every time he passed by the woods in front of the academy, for fear that what happened last time would happen again.

The news of Xiahou Mansion's rebellion soon spread in Bailu City, and everyone felt that Xiahou Mansion was about to end. Mr. Yu had a bitter face every day, as if he had aged ten years overnight, and he saw that Zhou Xuanyi had no good face. He didn't expect such a big event in Xiahou Mansion. Before Jin Yiwei arrived, in his limited imagination, Xiahou Mansion was like a big tree, how could it never fall, but now it is scattered.

Although it was only Jinyiwei's interrogation, Jinyiwei did not have any right to behead first and then play, and had already sent the results of the interrogation to Kyoto, and whether it was a full house or exiled had to wait for the emperor's will. It's just that it will take another half a month to go back and forth, giving Xiahou Mansion some room to breathe. Xiahou Mansion did everything he could to wander around and contact the contacts who had been in the imperial court.

But no one wants to touch the mold, only the Zhenbei Wangfu watched and helped. Xia Shilin looked for Zhou Xuanyi many times, but there was no news, and the conversation with the "prince" was like a dream of Xia Shilin's own, after all, the prince was far away in Kyoto, and no one could prove that what he saw was really the prince.

A depressing aura of mountain rain was about to come because of the arrival of Jinyiwei and shrouded the sky over Bailu City, and even the children of Wande Academy were also affected.

Mr. Yu didn't have the mind to teach, and let the children read by themselves in every class, after all, Xiahou Mansion was about to fall, and Wande Academy no longer existed.

The children keenly smelled something unusual from it, and suddenly aroused the potential desire for destruction in their hearts, and the boycotts and noises were even more noisy than before—except in Zhou Xuanyi's class.

Zhou Xuanyi didn't seem to be affected by this wave in the slightest, and the whole person was outside the gossip of Bailu City. Zhou Xuanyi lectured as usual and disciplined unconvinced students as usual.

Some people are dissatisfied with this: "Mr. Zhou, the academy is going to be gone, don't you know?"

Zhou Xuanyi stopped reading and said, "I know." ”

As soon as the student gritted his teeth, Zhou Xuanyi's appearance of staying calm anytime and anywhere made people look really uncomfortable, and he said loudly: "The academy is gone, what else do we have to learn?"

Zhou Xuanyi put down the book, thinking that this thought had spread, he didn't have any sense of responsibility for these cubs, but now he taught a few and taught feelings, and said: "I take a salary to teach a lesson, some people want to learn, so learn more and one is one." The academy is gone, you either go back to farming or go back to practice martial arts with a sword, but whether farming or practicing martial arts is harder than studying. ”

Li Feng in the back row laughed and said, "My father didn't let me suffer, he allowed me to be sent to other academies." ”

Zhou Xuanyi looked at Li Feng with some contempt in his eyes, and said, "What about sending it to other academies? Compared with the students of Bailu Academy, you are not as good as others in your studies, your family background is not as good as others, and you are not as good as others." ”

"You!"

Zhou Xuanyi didn't give him a chance to speak at all and said, "You think for yourself, it's comfortable to be here or to go to Egret Academy." ”

After these words came out, everyone was really silent, farming, martial arts or going to Egret Academy were not comfortable here, they just started looking forward to the closure of Wande Academy, and they no longer had to see Zhou Xuanyi and Mr. Yu, but for them, Wande Academy turned out to be the best choice.

Waiting for one less and one less, the desire to destroy is less, and a little sympathetic feeling comes out, and everyone is still a little sad when they think that it is estimated that they will be the last to go to school.

After class, Zhou Xuanyi was about to leave, but Zhao Hu stopped him. Zhao Huzi is smart and is a rare student that Zhou Xuanyi likes in this class, so he is not angry and waits for him to continue.

Zhao Hu secretly pulled Zhou Xuanyi over and said, "Sir, can I invite you to the play?"

"Huh?" Zhou Xuanyi snorted slightly.

"No, no," Zhao Hu knew that Zhou Xuanyi had misunderstood something, and waved his hand anxiously: "My eldest father is from the garden, he sang "Dream in the Garden" tonight, I want to ......" Zhao Hu was a little cramped, his face was red with nervousness, and said: "I have three theater tickets here, can you bring the golden bell?"

Golden Bell ...... Zhou Xuanyi thought of the one in the woods, and felt that Zhao Hu had little chance of catching up with Jin Ling.

It turns out that this is the meaning, Zhao Hu and Zhou Xuanyi in his family have also heard it, his eldest father is a singer in the opera troupe, and his second father is a craftsman, his hands are very skillful, he often does some carpenter work, and sometimes he also makes some jade to sell.
