After watching the woman leave with Dongfang Xiong's coffin, Yun Wuxian was also leaving.

"You know what? You've been fooled. ”

A voice came from the sky, the clouds looked at the sky without a trace, and a man in black fell from the sky. Yun Wuxian quickly recognized that the man in black was an iron hand.

For the appearance of the iron hand, Yun Wuxian was very surprised.

"You're secretly following me?" asked Yun Wuji.

"After all, it's more than a hundred lives, and I'm afraid you'll mess things up. "If you mess things up, I won't be able to explain it to the top." ”

"So, when I went deep into the 'Oriental Palace' alone, did you just watch coldly from the sidelines?"

"You're doing a great job. Tie Shou said, "Dongfang Xiong is full of evil. The imperial court has also sent people to encircle and suppress them many times. But it was all in vain. You alone, single-handedly, actually turned the 'Oriental Palace' upside down. ”

After a pause, Tie Shou shook his head and said, "In the end, you still fell short. In the end, he still let Dongfang Xiong run away. ”

"You're wrong. Yun Wuxian corrected, "Dongfang Xiong is dead, not running away." ”

"Do you think that Dongfang Xiong will be killed by you so easily?" Iron Hand said coldly, "Although the 'Dongfang Palace' is not the Longtan Tiger's Den, it is not a place where people like you can enter if they say so. Dongfang has dominated the rivers and lakes for many years, and there are many people who have killed and offended. If only you could easily solve it. Wouldn't he have been slain long ago? ”

"But I clearly saw Dongfang Xiong dead. "My sword pierced his heart, and I saw blood pouring out." ”

"Sometimes, what you see with your own eyes isn't necessarily true. Iron Hand said meaningfully.

Yun Wuxian pondered the meaning of the iron hand, and then, Yun Wuxian shook his head again and again, and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible." ”

"You can not take my word for it. I'll let you see the facts. "Actually, if you calm down and think carefully, you will find the strangeness in it." Why didn't Dongfang Xiong's wife appear sooner or later, but she appeared after you killed Dongfang Xiong just now? It stands to reason that if she wanted to save Dongfang Xiong, she could have appeared earlier. Then she begs your men to be merciful. ”

However, she did not do so. ”

"She's a smart woman. At least, I don't think she's dumber than you. Iron Hand said with a smile.

Yun Wuxian was angry, but Yun Wuxian did not refute Iron Hand's sarcasm. He wanted to know why the woman did it.

"You have been in the 'Oriental Palace' for dozens of days, which shows how determined you are. She must know, even if she begs you on the spot. You won't necessarily agree to her request. Even if you promise not to kill Dongfang Xiong, you will arrest Dongfang Xiong and hand it over to the government. Dongfang Xiong is extremely vicious, he should have been executed a long time ago. Therefore, she also knows that after you hand over Dongfang Xiong to the government, the only fate to greet Dongfang Xiong is death. ”

"Before she came, she had already discussed it with Dongfang Xiong. Dongfang Xiong faked his death, she took the opportunity to snatch the 'corpse', and then, they found a place and went incognito. Perhaps, Dongfang Xiong is not willing to be lonely. Years later, he will seek revenge against you. And you didn't recognize that this was Dongfang Xiong's conspiracy. ”

"There are no loopholes in your analysis. However, all these words he said were based on one condition. You assume it's Dongfang Xiong's conspiracy. If so, what if your assumptions don't hold? All your inferences don't hold. ”

"Let's make a bet. "If I lose," said the Iron Hand, "I will bow down and admit my mistake and obey you." ”

"What if I'm wrong?"

"You are responsible for bringing Dongfang Xiong back. "As far as I know, Iron Hand has fled to the outside of the fortress." If you leave now, maybe in ten days, you will be able to see Dongfang Xiong in a wasteland outside the fortress. When the time comes, you must not be careless. Sometimes, or more often, the enemy is more cunning than you seem. ”

Iron Hand smiled at Yun Wuxian without a trace, and then turned away in a dashing manner.

***

Out of the West Lake, through the garden, through the jade gate. There is no wine goodbye to Yangguan in the west, and there is no pipa wine drunk on the battlefield. A sword, a life, a body of righteousness. The heart is lonely, wandering the world. This is the fate of the prodigal son, and it is also the mission of the prodigal son.

When Yun Wuxian was standing in the north of the desert with yellow sand, and his eyes were full of smoke and sunset, desert wind and dust, and a clear mound at dusk, he was a little lonely, although he was a well-known "amorous swordsman" of the rivers and lakes, he was still lonely and lonely. The ancient road west wind, how many wanderers have been infected.

He pulled out his sword, an ordinary but intimidating sword, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the body of the sword was blue and red, and he stroked it slowly with his hand, like stroking the body of a lover, more like stroking his own child. His hands were so slender and his movements were so soothing, Huang Sha couldn't help but be moved, and a gust of sand and dust swept over the sword in his hand. He wiped the dust off it with his clothes and gently put his sword back. He raised his head, took a deep breath, and walked towards the yellow sand.

There was an inn in front, no, it couldn't be counted as an inn, because it was too small, with only a few pieces of wood supporting some thatch, and on all sides what was called a wall made of corn stalks. However, it is an inn because there is not only tea and food, but also wine. Wine can't be considered good wine, it's just ordinary sorghum wine, if in normal times, he doesn't bother to smell it. But, now, he was tempted to drink, even something better than horse pee, for horse urine was so unpleasant to drink, that on the second day he went into the desert, his kettle broke, and on the third day he was going to drink horse urine, and sometimes, he thought, the potential of man is endless. Usually you can't see it, but when you encounter difficulties, you will do things that you couldn't think of before, such as drinking horse urine.

The inn has no name. It's not that there is no name, there used to be a name, but the flag hung in front of it was blown by the wind and sand, and there was only a strip of cloth left, and there was no name written on the strip of cloth. There are no more and no less people in it. There were three guests, a guy and a shopkeeper. He went in and the men immediately met him. Guest officer, sit inside. The guy made a gesture of please. He looked, and there was not much difference between the inside and the outside, and he sat down at the door. The guy helped him wipe the dust off the table with a rag that hadn't been washed for a year, and he coughed as the flying dust choked him. The guy was very careful to accompany him, he didn't care.

The guy asked him what he wanted, and he asked for three, none of them, and he asked what they were here.

The guy said, "Guest officer, we only have sorghum wine and pickles here." ”

"Since there are only pickles and old wine, why do you have to ask me for anything?" asked Yun Wuxian puzzled.

"We are here at the hotel. The owner said that the guest is God and we have to respect the opinion of the guest. If the guests only want pickles and sorghum wine, they will not show the shabby of the inn. ”

The wine and food are coming. He sipped his wine and looked at the rolling sand outside, and he suddenly felt quite happy. Being able to sit here and drink is at least happier than walking in the desert. He was really happy because he saw an unhappy person. The unhappy people also came to the hotel under his gaze. The visitor took off his coat, and he saw clearly that the other party was a very delicate young man. The handsome face makes people suspect that he is a woman, but he is not a woman, because women's feet are not that big, because women do not grow beards. The man put the sword on the table with a "snap", and the man walked over with great interest. Before the man could ask what he wanted, he spoke. Give it to me according to the man's things. He pointed to Yun Wuxian and said. Hurry down and get ready, man. After a while, the man came up with wine, and suddenly, the man's foot slipped, and the flask in the tray was poured, and the wine in the jug was poured at the first table. One of the big men with a meaty face suddenly stood up, and he grabbed the man by the collar and lifted it up.

"Damn, you kid doesn't want to live anymore. ”

It was so sudden that the guy was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a while. The shopkeeper came over to apologize to the big man, but the big man didn't look at it and pushed the shopkeeper to it. The big man lifted the guy and was about to fall to the ground. The handsome boy stood up.

"Slow. The boy looked at the big man and said.

The big man held up the man, but his eyes were looking at the young man, and asked, "Do you kid want to be nosy?"

"I don't want to be nosy. I just looked at Your Excellency's familiar face, and dared to ask Your Excellency Is it a strong tiger one of the "Three Tigers of Liaodong"?" the young man asked.

"How do you know Lao Tzu?" asked the big man.

"The famous "Liaodong Three Tigers" in the rivers and lakes no one knows, no one knows. Although he just walked around the rivers and lakes, he still admired the "Three Tigers of Liaodong" very much. The young man looked at the big man very sincerely, but Yun Wuxian could see that what the young man said sounded good, but he didn't think so in his heart.

"What do you kid worship me?" asked Mighty Tiger.

"Worship the three of me, worship the three chivalrous tenderness, worship the three sassy and heroic. The boy said everything he could.

Yun Wuxian suddenly laughed, and the wine in his mouth spurted out. The young man turned around and asked Yun Wuxian: "What are you laughing at, am I not right?"

"I didn't hear it, you continued. Yun Wuxian said.

The young man ignored Yun Wuxian and continued to say to the big man: "How can a hero like Your Excellency give the shopkeeper general knowledge, if this matter spreads, people who know will say that you can't bear it, and if you don't know, you will talk nonsense." Say that you bully the small with the big, say that you have a small belly, and say that you bully others. This is detrimental to your prestige. So, I suggest you let him go if you have a lot of adults. ”

Dalihu scratched his scalp and said, what you kid said is quite reasonable, but Lao Tzu can't swallow this breath.

"Otherwise, you let the man go, and I'll wipe your wine-stained clothes for him. As he spoke, the boy picked up the rag and wiped it on the tiger. Dali Hubu was embarrassed, and he politely pushed the boy away to wipe himself.

The young man walked up to Yun Wuji, patted Yun Wuji's shoulder with his hand and said, "Do you know what a chivalrous person is?"
