Early the next morning.

Pang Xie got up early in the morning, delivered to the door early, ate two steaming beef and chive buns, a few crispy and delicious fried small yellow croaker, and drank a bowl of thick soy milk, and felt eight or nine points full.

Got up early and had nothing to do, Pang Xie pulled out his long sword, and practiced alone in the courtyard, after yesterday's battle, he had a little understanding of swordsmanship, just to verify one or two, this practice was more than an hour, until the body was hot, and the forehead was sweaty, and then he stopped.

Pang Xie was almost done, so he asked for a pot of tea, and asked his subordinates to move the chaise longue and put it under the shade of the tree, squinted his eyes, and lay down leisurely.

Smack!

After a while, there was a sudden sound of knocking on the door knocker outside the courtyard, Pang Xie was in good spirits, and quickly got up and said, "Please come in!"

Squeak!

The door opened, and a slightly fat figure squeezed in.

Pang Xie saw that it was Zhou Yaozu, the big housekeeper of Luoying Island in Qingzhou, and he couldn't help but be stunned, he thought it was Gao Feng coming.

"Bai Shaoxia, excuse me!" Zhou Yaozu smiled with a smile.

"Where, where, it's me who bothered Zhou Da's affairs!" Pang Xie smiled.

Zhou Yaozu smiled, took a cup for himself, got a cup of tea, drank it all, and said, "I ran all morning, I was really thirsty!"

"What is Steward Zhou busy with?"

"There are too many things, I went to the mansion early in the morning, and I told Master Li something, I just talked about a business with a few merchants from Liaodong, and I have to go to the Drunken Immortal Building to socialize in a while, how can it compare to Bai Shaoxia's leisure here!" Zhou Yaozu shook his head and said.

"Steward Zhou is so busy, why do you have time to sit with me?" Pang Xie also picked up a cup of tea, looked at Zhou Yaozu and smiled.

Zhou Yaozu's face tightened, he looked left and right, and asked in a low voice: "Bai Shaoxia, I heard that you made a move in Yicui Building yesterday and killed two good players from the capital, I don't know if it's true?"

He said the word "good hand" in his mouth, but his fingers dipped a little tea, and quickly wrote the word "moon covering" on the table.

Ponche nodded, not denying it.

"It's true......" Zhou Yaozu frowned.

"Is it a big trouble? Does it have any impact on our Luoying Island?" Pang Xie asked, he was in a hurry yesterday and didn't think about it so much, but at this time, after Zhou Yaozu reminded him, he just thought about it.

Zhou Yaozu said: "It's not big, after all, this is Qingzhou, not the capital, Gonggong Li's hand can't reach out, the official can't help us, as for the rivers and lakes, our Luoying Island is not comparable to the Laoshan Sword Sect, no matter how powerful they are, they can't shake our foundation, the trouble is not our Luoying Island, the trouble is Bai Shaoxia." ”

He deliberately pointed out the Laoshan Sword Sect, it seems that he already knows very well what happened yesterday, and he asked Pang Xie to verify it just now, but it was just a formality.

"How?"

"They can't move us to Luoying Island, but they can move you Bai Shaoxia, maybe the killer who will kill you has already set off from the capital. ”

"It doesn't matter, depending on who he is, if he wants to take my life, he has to ask me about the long sword in my hand!" Pang Xie smiled slightly.

"If you want to talk about real kung fu, Bai Shaoxia will naturally not be afraid of them, but I am afraid that these people will not talk about morality, and they will do everything to besiege, plot, and poison, and then they will ......" Zhou Yaozu frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything, but at the moment, there is a way, this time the young dragon list ring will be held soon, if Bai Shaoxia can be on the list, when Lord Zhang asks you what you want, you will say that you want to join the army in Qingzhou, as long as Lord Zhang agrees to let you join the Qingzhou military and political system, even if the Moon Occultation Hall is fierce, I don't dare to continue to embarrass Shaoxia. ”

"Why is that?" said Ponchet.

"You joined the Qingzhou Army, and you became Lord Zhang's subordinate, no matter how fierce the Moon Occultation Hall is, after all, it is just a knife in the hands of Gonggong Li, as long as Gonggong Li does not make up his mind to get along with Master Zhang, he must restrain his subordinates. ”

"Okay, I see. ”

"Okay, then Zhou said goodbye first. After speaking, Zhou Yaozu drank another cup of tea and left the courtyard.

Pang Xie squinted his eyes, looking at his distant figure, secretly thinking in his heart, he was afraid that Zhou Yaozu was here as a lobbyist for some people, but even so, what he said was also very reasonable, and it was worth thinking about carefully.

However, Luoying Island was originally an ally of Zhang Zhun of the Jiedu Envoy, so why was he so eager to win him over, it was a strange thing.

After absorbing Bai Cheng's memories, he also learned Bai Cheng's way of thinking about problems, otherwise, with his original understanding of human affairs, he would never have thought so much.

......

Not long after Zhou Yaozu went out, Gao Feng came to visit, and as soon as he entered the door, he apologized: "I wanted to come over when I got up in the morning, but I didn't expect someone to go to me early in the morning, and I talked about it for a long time, it's late, don't be surprised, Brother Bai!"

Pang Xie smiled and said, "Brother Gao, don't say it first, let me guess who it is and what it is." ”

"Okay!" Gao Feng smiled and stood in front of Pang Xie with his sword in his hand.

"It's Lord Zhang's people who are going, and they're talking about taking refuge in Lord Zhang!" Pang Xie said with a smile.

"Oh, it seems that someone is looking for you too? strange, he is looking for me because I am a loose cultivator, and I have no plans to defect to a certain force, aren't you Luoying Island his ally, why are you even wooing?" Gao Fengqi said.

Pang Xie shook his head and said, "I don't understand it either, by the way, did Senior Brother agree?"

Gao Feng smiled bitterly and said: "I agreed, he offered very good conditions, saying that he wanted to help Miss Fan change her nationality, and said that if he had a chance in the future, he would avenge Lord Fan for Zhaoxue, how could I not agree?"

"It seems that Brother Gao is really infatuated, and he has worked hard for Miss Fan. ”

"Alas, there is no way, two months ago, I saw her on the edge of the Canglang River, and I made up my mind at that time, I have to marry her in this life, and now I am working hard for her, and I admit it!" Gao Feng said depressedly.

Pang Xie said with a smile: "Senior Brother Mo said so miserable, it is a good thing after all, and besides, Lord Zhang promised to do this for you, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort, which shows the status of Senior Brother in his eyes." ”

"It's okay if you don't mention this, I'm going to scold my mother as soon as you mention it, what Lord Zhang means is that if I can get into the top three this time, the agreement I just said will be counted, if I can't get into the top three, hehe, it's not like this!" Gao Feng sighed and slammed his sword on the ground.

Pang Xie smiled: "Senior brother don't worry, I saw Senior Brother's ability yesterday, with Senior Brother's swordsmanship, as long as you play normally, are you afraid that you won't be able to enter the top three?"

Last night, he looked through a lot of Baicheng's memories, especially the memories of fighting with people, and also had a general understanding of the martial arts situation in Qingzhou.

Only then did I find out that the swordsmanship that Gao Feng showed yesterday was by no means inferior to anyone in the younger generation of Qingzhou, not to mention that it was with Pang Xiebi, even if it was Baicheng in the past, it was not as good as his swordsmanship.

Gao Feng smiled bitterly, walked in front of Pang Xie in a few steps, and said in a low voice: "Brother Bai, I won't hide it from you, if I can play normally, no one will be afraid, but unfortunately I have been seriously injured before, and I have not been able to fight for a long time." ”

Pang Xie was stunned, he didn't expect Gao Feng to be so honest and willing to tell him this kind of thing, so he pondered for a moment and said, "If Brother Gao can trust me, let me see how your injuries are?"

Gao Feng was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said with a smile: "Can you still trust Brother Bai?"

After that, he unbuttoned the placket on his chest and exposed his chest, only to see a sword mark more than an inch wide at the mouth of his heart.

The sword mark had faded a little, and it looked like it was from many years ago, not a new one.

Pang Xie's face changed, he reached out and pressed it on the sword mark, pressed it hard, and couldn't help blurting out: "It turns out that you are dead!"
