Although he became the special envoy of Qingzhou Salt Transportation of Wupin, Xiao Yi knew that this was a temporary official position, and he was afraid that when he completed the restructuring of Qingzhou Salt Farm, this temporary official position would be removed, and then there would only be a vacant position and a fortune for Wupin. So Xiao Yi's eyes are still on the affairs of the Xiao family.

In addition, because he still needs to wait for the appointment of the officials, Xiao Yi did not inform any family members for the time being after returning to Xiao's house.

At night, the moon is dark and the stars are scarce, when most of the people in Xiao Mansion are asleep, a black shadow has flipped over the wall next to the side door of Xiao Mansion, the black shadow is extremely fast, and at close inspection, it turned out to be a masked person wearing night clothes, faintly seeing the exquisite curves, it should be a woman.

After the woman in black entered Xiao's house, although Xiao Yi had already sent more people to patrol, it was obvious that the woman was extremely light, evaded the patrolling guards several times before and after, and then successfully entered the backyard.

The woman seems to be familiar with the terrain of this place, obviously not the first time to sneak into the Xiao family, so she went straight to the room of the original eldest master, that is, Uncle Xiao Yi, the male owner died more than two years ago, so only Xiao Yi's aunt Wang is sleeping in the room, and the maid who is waiting lives in the next room, but obviously the maid next door has also rested.

The woman was outside the door, and saw that the room was locked, so she took out an embroidery needle from her body, pierced the embroidery needle through the crack of the door and pierced it into the deadbolt inside, slid it a few times, and the deadbolt was easily cut, and then the door opened slightly, and the woman flashed in.

Then the woman casually clicked Wang's sleeping hole, and then the woman in black went straight to the front of a decorative painting in the house, and moved the painting away, revealing the wall inside.

The woman in black took out a fire fold and walked towards the inside of the secret room. Descending the steps of the chamber is a space of about seventy or eighty square meters. There were a few boxes inside, and the woman called them, and it turned out that the boxes were full of silver, and there were about nearly 10,000 taels.

The woman ignored the silver inside, looked at the bookshelf on the side, and picked up a book casually, on which was the account book of the Xiao family's store, but it was all a few years ago. This is true for several books in a row.

The woman shook her head and walked to another bookshelf, which contained dozens of books. Pick up a book at random, with the words "Flame Palm" written on it, the woman was stunned, as if she had seen this palm technique somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

I quickly flipped through it, but in a quarter of an hour, the woman finished reading the secret book, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was recalling.

Then the woman danced freely in the chamber. If Xiao Yi was here, he would definitely be surprised, this was only practiced twice, and the woman seemed to have practiced the palm technique to an extremely high level for some reason.

After that, the woman looked at the four martial arts on the bookshelf, "Light Splitting Sword", "Lifting Longitudinal Technique", "Cloud Sweeping Palm" and "Soul Breaking Knife", each martial art only took a very short time, and it only took more than an hour to practice and familiarize themselves with it.

After that, the woman didn't seem to be interested in the other dozen or so secret books. Instead, he looked at the experience of the eldest master of the Xiao family on these martial arts carefully, and this time he looked at it more seriously, as if it was more important than those secrets. After a long time, the woman put her martial arts experience back on the bookshelf

Then the woman's eyes fell on an envelope on the bookshelf, and the woman saw this, and did not hesitate to open the envelope.

After reading, the woman sighed, it turned out to be the suicide note of the eldest lord of the Xiao family, the woman knew that it should be a premonition before the murder of the eldest lord, so she wrote the suicide note first, but it seems that something went wrong in the middle, resulting in this suicide note has not been published for more than two years.

The woman thought for a moment, put the suicide note close to her, and then turned to leave. When the woman walked to the door of the secret room, she saw a few weapons on the weapon rack next to the door, and one of the objects caught the woman's attention.

It was a small box, and there was some dust on it, but the box was delicate. When I opened it, it turned out to be a white dress, which was very beautiful and did not have a bit of variegation. The woman thought of a talisman treasure that Master Xiao had spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to prepare for his most beloved sister mentioned in the suicide note, which was a white dress.

The woman in black had a solemn face, picked up the long dress she had taken out and examined it carefully, and the woman thought of something. Pulled out his short sword and stabbed it at the long skirt, but the long skirt was not damaged in the slightest, and the woman immediately carried the nine-layer true qi, and tore her hands apart, and there was no gap, and the woman nodded with satisfaction.

The woman compared the size, and it was perfectly fitting her figure, as if it was completely tailored for her, so the woman took it into her arms. The woman pursed her lips and laughed, because she was wearing a mask, she could only see that her eyebrows were crooked. Then she touched the envelope on her chest, put away her laughter, sighed, and walked out of the secret room.

In Xiao Yi's house, it was already the second half of the night, and Xiao Yi naturally went to bed early, but the painting in the other room did not sleep, and the painting was practicing internal skills at this time.

Usually Hua'er needs to serve Xiao Yi, but also to deal with chores, and occasionally has to go out to run errands for Xiao Yi, although it is Qin'er and her two to share, but Hua'er has his own thoughts. If you are willing to be an ordinary maid, it is naturally very easy to follow the young master's side, but if you want to really help your own young master, you must be able to keep up with the pace of the young master in martial arts, although the young master is lazy, but the young master is talented, and he has touched the edge of the innate early at the same age as himself, and he is only the cultivation of the sixth layer of the day after tomorrow, and after coming to the mountain city, he obviously feels that the cultivation is insufficient.

Therefore, for more than ten days, Hua'er has been cultivating very hard, hoping to break through to the seventh layer of the day after tomorrow as soon as possible.

When Hua'er was concentrating on cultivating internal skills, Hua'er's ears moved slightly, and it turned out that he heard a slight stampede in the sky above his room, the sound was very soft, and it was obvious that the person who came had a very high level of light skills.

Painting's eyes opened, and he reached for his long sword and ran out the door.

When he came out of the room, he saw a dark shadow that had just left the jujube tree in the small courtyard and ran into the distance.

It is also the bad luck of the woman in black, although Xiao Mansion is a family of rivers and lakes, but it is really possible to find her traces only Xiao Yi alone, at most Xiao Hong's eight-layer cultivation can barely be. But she passed by the roof of the painting, but the painting was cultivating and did not sleep, and the result was unexpectedly exposed.

Seeing that the woman in black had excellent light skills, the painting scolded coquettishly, and kicked up a stone under her feet, and the stone flew towards the woman in black quickly.

The woman in black was in the air at this time, unable to borrow her strength, so she pulled out her short sword and knocked the stone away, but her speed was greatly reduced because of this, and she was caught up by Hua'er.

Hua'er and Qin'er have been cultivated by Xiao Yi since childhood, and they are the closest people to Xiao Yi's side, and in recent days, they have also begun to practice the Xiao family's splitting sword technique and other martial arts obtained from Xiao Qian, so although they only have the cultivation of the sixth-layer upper realm, their martial arts are not bad.

I saw that the long sword of the painting pierced the door of the woman in black, the woman in black flashed sideways, and at the same time the short sword in her hand was swung horizontally, the woman in black had extremely high internal strength, and the speed of the sword was also extremely fast. The long sword of the painting was too late to defend, so he had to use his feet to rise into the air, and at the same time the long sword in his hand was lifted from the bottom to the top, which one of the women in black suddenly appeared with an embroidery needle in her left hand, her fingers bent and flicked, and the embroidery needle shot sharply, but fortunately, the woman in black did not have the idea of taking someone's name, so the embroidery needle shot into the right shoulder of the painting.

Suddenly, the painting snorted, and his right hand could no longer hold the long sword, and at the same time he took a few steps back before standing still. Hua'er looked at the slight wound on her right shoulder, and the blood that came out was red, and Hua'er breathed a sigh of relief.

The woman in black was about to leave, when suddenly something flew out of a nearby door, and the woman in black hurriedly blocked it with her sword. Hearing the sound of the "bell", the hidden weapon and the short sword made a crisp sound, and the woman in black was shocked and took a step back.

The woman shook off her right hand, which was a little numb, and looked at the man in pajamas who came out of the door with a solemn face, and the woman in black was stunned when she saw the man's face, as if she didn't expect to see this person here.

"Who are you, why did you break into my Xiao family in the middle of the night?" Xiao Yi said with a somewhat gloomy face, Xiao Yi didn't feel it when he thought of someone passing by in his yard, if he hadn't heard the sound of fighting outside, he would still be asleep. It seems that I have to think of a way in the future, otherwise I won't know if someone will cut off my head one day.

The woman in black did not answer, but threw out a few embroidery needles to Xiao Yi, at this time in danger, the woman naturally did not dare to entangle, after the embroidery needle was shot, she did not look at the result, her right foot was a little, her body retreated a few feet, and then she turned over and flew out of the courtyard wall.

Xiao Yi saw that there was a hidden weapon attacking, and he dodged with Qingluo steps, and saw the man in black fleeing out, Xiao Yi also chased after him, because Xiao Yi did not bring a sword, passed by Hua'er's side, and picked up Hua'er's long sword.

At this time, the woman in black was nearly a hundred meters away from Xiao Yi, and the two of them ran into the distance one after the other, and several guards nearby also rushed in the direction of the two of them at this time, but these guards were not a threat to the woman, and they were easily got rid of by the woman, and they did not stop because of this. And Xiao Yi saw that the woman's light skills were extremely high, and then recalled that the embroidery needle of the hidden weapon used before seemed to have seen it, and his face was suspicious.

The woman fled for a while, and saw that there was a courtyard wall in front of her, the woman's speed increased again, and her true qi was about to jump out of the wall, when she suddenly heard the sound of breaking the air behind her, and the woman moved two feet sideways, dodging the hidden weapon behind her. If you look closely, it is three chess pieces, and at this time, the three chess pieces are inlaid on the wall, which is obviously not small.

The woman was about to perform light skills and jump out again, and Xiao Yi raised her true qi to the maximum, her feet slammed on the ground, and she flew out twenty or thirty meters in an instant, falling a few feet in front of the woman.

"What are you doing in the Xiao Mansion?" Xiao Yi asked in a deep voice.

"Find something, be sure of one thing. ”

"Did you come to Xiao's house to find something?"

"Maybe I found it, I'm not sure. ”

After the woman finished speaking, Xiao Yi was silent, and she didn't know how to treat this woman for a while.

At this moment, there was a sound of surprise from the side, Xiao Yi looked over there, it turned out that Qin'er was flying towards the two, Qin'er was very good, and after approaching, he should pick up his sword first.

"Be careful!" Xiao Yi knew that Qin'er was not a female opponent, so he hurriedly reminded him, and at the same time raised his sword to join the battle group.

Xiao Yi used the splitting sword technique, and the speed was very fast, and the sword technique was a piece of sword light, which cooperated with Qin'er's Liuyun sword technique.

And the woman, holding a short sword in her right hand, accurately found the true sword body from a piece of sword light, and the swords of the two collided with each other, striking out a trace of spark, and quickly separated.

Qin'er's long sword was dodged by the woman, and then the short sword in her hand swung towards Qin'er with the power of separating from Xiao Yi's long sword.

Qin'er put away her sword and returned to defense, and was hit by the woman's short sword, although suddenly the woman only had time to infuse six or seven percent of her true qi, but she still knocked Qin'er a few meters away.

Xiao Yi saw that Qin'er suffered a loss after the collision, and was afraid that Qin'er would lose, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he stepped forward with his sword and fought seriously with the woman.

Xiao Yi devoted himself wholeheartedly, alternating various swordsmanship, palm techniques and body techniques, and his mind was opened to the maximum, carefully observing and analyzing the woman's every move.

Although the two of them are both ninth-level masters, Xiao Yi's internal strength is slightly stronger, coupled with the subtlety of his divine thoughts, so he quickly took the initiative. However, the women's light martial arts are still above Xiao Yi, and they know a lot about Xiao Yi's several martial arts, so they can't tell the winner in a short time.

The two of them were getting faster and faster, and Qin'er couldn't intervene anymore, so she could only stand on guard.

When a family guard arrived by her, Qin'er saw that the two of them were close to two hundred moves and had not yet decided the winner, and she was suddenly a little anxious.

But soon Qin'er showed a sly smile, instructed the family to bring half a scoop of water, and said a few more words, and Qin'er quietly approached the two of them.

Seeing that Qin'er was ready, Jia Ding threw water at the two of them, and shouted at the same time, "Be careful of poison." ”

The woman in black was already on guard when she saw that the guards around her were increasing, and the sudden splash of "venom" made her dodge in a panic, and Yu Guang saw that Xiao Yi on the opposite side was approaching her, her face tightened, and she hurriedly raised her sword and stabbed at Xiao Yi.

As for Xiao Yi, Yu Guang saw Qin'er's small movements, the two grew up together since childhood, and naturally knew Qin'er's bluff, so they saw a flaw and wanted to use a sword to restrain the woman in front of them, who only stabbed Qin'er behind the woman at this time, and the woman didn't have time to dodge Qin'er behind her at this time.

Xiao Yi was sure that this was the woman in white he saw some time ago when the woman spoke for the first time, although he didn't know why he came to Xiao's house for something, he naturally didn't want her to die. Therefore, the long sword rung, holding the woman's short sword, and at the same time, the left hand on the back of the woman on the first floor, a flip, seeing that both of them were out of Qin'er's oblique stabbing sword, and Qin'er, the woman in front of her became a young master, and naturally swung the long sword to the end.

But the woman who was hugged by Xiao Yi had the short sword in her right hand framed. Although it was not clear what was going on, Xiao Yi's lower back was suddenly hugged by Xiao Yi, his body was bound, and then his left hand was hit with a palm, which hit Xiao Yi's chest, and the two bodies quickly separated.

Xiao Yi vomited blood and flew out in the direction of Qin'er's long sword, the long sword was unable to retract, barely avoiding Xiao Yi's heart, and slashed under Xiao Yi's left rib, leaving a hole about ten centimeters long, and the blood stained red for a while.

"Young master, are you okay, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry!" Qin'er hurriedly dropped the long sword, supported Xiao Yi, and helped Xiao Yi cover his wounds.

The woman in white over there had just stood firm when she saw Xiao Yi fall to the ground due to a sword injury, and the woman was still a little dazed at this time, not knowing what had happened, she just thought that Xiao Yi was hugging her waist either to thin herself or to seal her back waist.

Therefore, seeing that Xiao Yi was injured, the guards next to him also stepped forward to attack him, and the woman jumped up and flew out of the courtyard wall and left. Without Xiao Yi and Qin'er's restraint, the guards naturally couldn't chase after them anymore.

After Xiao Yi hit the sword, he saw Qin'er's crying pear blossoms with rain, and wanted to comfort him, but he felt a burst of heat in his chest, and fainted after spitting out a mouthful of blood.

In Xiao Yi's bedroom, at this time, the old man Xiao Hong in the room took Xiao Yi's pulse with a serious face, and Liu, Xiao Zhan and Qin'er were all standing quietly on the side.

After a long time, the old man Xiao Hong untied the clothes on Xiao Yi's chest again, and saw a palm print printed on Xiao Yi's chest, and the old man Xiao Hong lightly pressed the palm print with his hand, only to feel a cold breath coming, and at the same time, the unconscious Xiao Yi let out a muffled snort.

"Madam, Young Master Xiao Yi was seriously injured this time, the sword wound was very deep, and there was a lot of bleeding, but the most important thing is that this cold palm technique is quite domineering, it should be a top-level palm technique, like the legendary Xuanyin palm, the yin qi enters the tendons and intestines, and it is difficult to pull it out for a while, but fortunately, this palm technique seems to have not been cultivated to the home, so there is no worry about life for the time being. In addition, I need to grab a few more pairs of medicine and cooperate with the palm power of the Flame Palm to help the eldest young master suppress the internal injuries, during this period, the eldest young master needs to recuperate, and he must not be injured again. ”

"Old Xiao, when will Xiao Yi wake up?" asked Liu

"I can't say it, maybe tonight, or the day after tomorrow. Let us disperse first, and do not disturb him. ”

Let's talk about Liu Ruoshui, that is, after the black-clothed woman who visited the Xiao family at night returned to her quiet courtyard, she recalled the battle with the man. After fighting two times before and after, Liu Ruoshui already knew that this person's internal strength cultivation was a little higher than his own, and his various fist moves were extremely flexible, and his talent was obviously extremely high.

Thinking of that person, I remembered the scene of being spied on by this person when we first met, and the last hand around my waist, although I was very angry and annoyed at the time, but at this time, I think of the scene at that time, I am afraid that he saved himself once, and he slapped him hard, and I don't know if the person was seriously injured.
