The study of Heng Yuanzi of the Hou Mansion in the north of the town.

"Two young heroes, please use tea!" Heng Yuanzi motioned for Wen Taizhen and Cao Shubao to sit down next to the desk.

"Well, if you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, you have always been like a beautiful woman. The best West Lake Longjing tea!" Cao Shubao politely said.

"Uncle Cao, you are really well-informed...... Heng Yuanzi also said politely.

"Presumably, Master Hou asked us to come over this time, isn't it as simple as tasting tea?" Wen Taizhen put down the teacup and looked at Heng Yuanzi and said.

"Wen Shaoxia, you are quick to talk, I won't beat around the bush!" Heng Yuanzi said with a straight expression, "I invite you two to come over this time, just to hear what you think about the murder of the dog Zhongji......

"Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, as a friend of the eggplant, no matter what, I don't believe that she will harm the life of the little Hou Ye. Cao Shubao answered.

Wen Taizhen nodded and added, "We heard that Master Zhang of your mansion has fought with the murderer, and the other party is a master of the Great Heaven. Based on this, we already have a suspicion, but ......"

Heng Yuanzi paused when he saw Wen Taizhen, and asked, "You might as well say it directly......

Cao Shubao clasped his fists and added, "First of all, we want to confirm a problem with Master Hou!"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Heng Yuanzi stood up and gestured with his hand.

"Is the Qilin Treasure Treasure Map in your hands, Master Hou?" asked Uncle Cao then.

"Ridiculous, where did you get this news from?" Heng Yuanzi asked seriously.

"A few days ago, my Cao family media got the news that there is a unicorn treasure map in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, I guess this news must be related to this case, so I asked. Cao Shubao explained.

"Ben Hou can be responsible for informing the two young heroes that Ben Hou has not obtained the treasure map, and he has never seen anything in it. And the treasure map is now in the Emperor's hands!" Heng Yuanzi said to the heavens.

Wen Taizhen and Cao Shubao glanced at each other, then nodded.

"That is, someone released fake news and deliberately lured the other party into the Hou Mansion!" Wen Taizhen tightened his thick eyebrows and nodded.

Heng Yuanzi looked puzzled.

"Master Hou, in fact, the murderer we two suspect is the Righteous Sect Master, because it is very consistent in terms of martial arts moves and body shape. Cao Shubao revealed.

"Righteous Path Master...... Then what is his motive?" Heng Yuanzi wondered.

"I analyzed that the Righteous Dao Sect Master heard the news of the treasure map, so he sneaked into the Hou Mansion overnight to investigate, so he ......" Wen Taizhen analyzed the case.

"So he was inadvertently broken by the little marquis, so he killed people!" Cao Shubao deliberately answered, and glanced at Wen Taizhen and nodded.

"Even if the case is really like this, it is just a guess by the two of them, and there is no evidence...... Heng Yuanzi already has seven layers of belief, but he still hopes that Wen and Cao can find tangible evidence.

"Master Hou, there is a person who calls himself Tao Shiheng outside the door, saying that he is here to find Wen Taizhen!" a government soldier reported.

"Oh?" Heng Yuanzi and Wen Taizhen glanced at each other, Wen Taizhen and Cao Shubao glanced at each other, obviously inexplicable, Heng Yuanzi agreed, "Please let him in!"

A moment later, a swordsman weighing more than eight feet, dressed in a white robe, holding a five-foot sword, with an expressionless face appeared at the door of the study.

"Wen Taizhen, I have news of the murderer of the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, if you want to know, you will compete with me in three days, and I will wait in the Jinghu Xiaozhu in the Nanshan Bamboo Sea. Tao Shiheng took two steps into the door, finished talking to Wen Taizhen with an expressionless face, and then turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute, in order to confirm that you didn't lie to me, at least you have to tell me if the murderer has fought me before!" Wen Taizhen said with a tight eyebrows, looking at Tao Shiheng's side face.

Tao Shiheng turned his face and looked at Wen Taizhen indifferently for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, I'll look for you in three days!" Wen Taizhen nodded, agreeing without humility or arrogance.

Tao Shiheng left without saying a word.

"Now, we can basically confirm that the murderer is the Righteous Dao Sect Master!" Wen Taizhen said to Heng Yuanzi with certainty.

Heng Yuanzi nodded, "Those two young heroes ......"

"Report to the Hou Ye, the cavalry general Wang Chuzhong came to visit!"

"Hurry up, please!" Heng Yuanzi replied.

"Master Hou! oh...... The two young heroes are also there?" Wang Chuzhong clenched his fists.

"I've seen the general!" Wen Taizhen and Cao Shubao argued.

After sitting down, the next person served tea. Wang Chuzhong blew on the teacup and took a sip gently.

"General Wang's trip?" Heng Yuanzi asked.

Wang heard about it...... After all, the little Hou Ye died after a conflict with people at the junction of Kyoto, so Wang specially came to assist in the investigation of the case. Wang Chuzhong's polite words are official words.

"Don't hide it from General Wang, Wen Taizhen and Cao Shubao have already investigated and found out that the real murderer is the leader of the Zhengdao Sect!" Heng Yuanzi explained.

"I see, Wang heard his brother mention that the abandoned minister Yang Jin is the current leader of the Righteous Dao!" Wang Chuzhong nodded clearly, and then proposed, "Then next, we can investigate his collaboration with the enemy and the murder case together, I don't know what Master Hou wants?"

"Well, the two cases are investigated together, the clues are exchanged, and the superior manpower can be concentrated, so it is a good proposal!" Heng Yuanzi thought about it and nodded.

That night, Heng Yuanzi promised to let Sima Ru go back with Cao Shubao and his party. But Xia Housha and Wen Taizhen played a petty game.

"You go to Xiuhu Pavilion with Shubao and Eggplant first!" Wen Taizhen held Xiahou Sha's hands and pleaded.

"I don't, I'm going with you!" Xia Housha's eyes were full of tears.

"I'm going to a duel, and it's inconvenient to take you with me. Wen Taizhen tightened her thick eyebrows and tightened her hands.

"You obviously know that I will be worried, why do you agree to Tao Shiheng's challenge?" asked Xiahou Sha.

Sasha...... That's all I can do to get to the bottom as quickly as possible, you know?" explained Wen Tae-jin.

"I don't care what reason you have...... Xia Housha threw herself into Wen Taizhen's arms, "You must take me this time!"

Cao Shubao and Sima Ru watched from the sidelines, as if they were envious.

"You guys better go together, I can't stand it anymore," Cao Shubao said.

Wen Taizhen glanced at Cao Shubao, he couldn't help it, and gently patted Xiahou Sha's shoulder with his left hand, "Okay, then you can go with me!"

It is said that Tao Shiheng came out of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, and he hurried to the horse, and in the afternoon of the next day, he had arrived at the Jinghu Xiaozhu in the bamboo sea of Nanshan.

In the evening, in the guest room of the Lishui Inn, Xiao Dushui, Mao Xuewang, Mo Yinjiu and others of the "Qingcheng Four Shows" were with their faces drooping.

"Senior brother, I didn't expect Tao Shiheng to be so powerful, let's go back to Qingcheng Mountain first......" Mao Xuewang pleaded with Xiao Dushui, who was pacing back and forth.

"Go back, don't forget, it was the two of you who pulled me and said that you would accompany me to avenge my father and your uncle, and fight for the head of the family...... Now it's okay, it's all a shrunken turtle!" Xiao Dushui looked at Mao Xuewang with a depressed face, glanced at Mo Yinjiu again, and said angrily in a Sichuan accent.

"Senior brother, you also saw that the three of us joined forces to use the sword formation that day, and Tao Shiheng didn't even draw his sword, so we ......" Mo Yinjiu defended helplessly.

"Yes, if we go again, it will definitely be a dead end, and maybe it will affect the little junior sister......" Mao Xuewang replied.

Shentu Weilan pushed the door open and came in, bringing some food and placing it on the table.

"Senior brother, when are we going back to Qingcheng Mountain?" asked Shentu Weilan as she divided the dishes and chopsticks.

"Go back? huh...... If we don't take down Tao Shiheng's head, don't think about going back in this life!" Xiao Dushui's Chinese face burst into blue tendons, and he said in a Sichuan dialect.

When Shentu Weilan heard the words "Tao Shiheng", a grim man with his naked body soaking in the bathtub and meditating with his eyes closed suddenly came to mind......

Xiao Dushui sat down suddenly, poured a cup of tea, and said, "Think about it, what weaknesses does a person like Tao Shiheng have?"

Mao Xuewang said with a blank face, "Senior brother, Tao Shiheng has always been alone, and he has no friends, we don't know much about this person!"

Seeing Mao Xuewang pour himself a cup of tea, Mo Yinjiu said treacherously, "It's better like this, let's sneak attack ...... together while he is asleep."

"Third Senior Brother, how can we do such a thing!"

Mo Yinjiu defended, "I'm just talking casually......"

"Little junior sister, are you willing to avenge your uncle and help us?" asked with a roll of his eyes.

"Me?" said Shen Tu Weilan with a look of innocence and confusion.

"Senior brother, what do you want the little junior sister to do?" Mo Yinjiu said with a worried expression.

"I thought that Tao Shiheng, as a famous swordsman, does not kill women and children, this is his biggest weakness!" Xiao Dushui said fiercely.

"Senior brother, what do you want me to do......" Shentu Weilan asked, and then said with an affirmative face, "If there is a way to avenge my uncle now, I am willing!"

"That's good, tonight you go to the Jinghu Xiaozhu in Nanshan Bamboo Sea alone!" Xiao Dushui looked at her and nodded.

"Ah......" Shentu Weilan was surprised, but nodded anyway.

Tao Shiheng specially selected a small house built with bamboo and wood on the edge of the elegant and secluded Jinghu bamboo forest in Nanshan Bamboo Sea. Jinghu small building, independent single small pavilion, divided into two floors, one floor is high, the second floor is one zhang high. The elevated floor between the land and the floor is about seven feet high, and the surrounding environment is surrounded by green bamboos and trees, which is simple and elegant.

That night, Tao Shiheng was cooking fish soup in the small building of Jinghu Lake. Shentu Weilan hesitantly walked into the Jinghu small building, stopped in front of Tao Shiheng, and observed the interior layout left and right.

"Tao ...... Tao Shiheng, the ...... In the inn before, the disciples of the Qingcheng faction were offended, and today I came to apologize......" Shentu Weilan looked at Tao Shiheng, shrugged her shoulders, and said with a sigh.

Tao Shiheng stirred the soup pot by himself, and said lightly without raising his head, "Don't pretend, you have a drug on you, and you are here to wait for an opportunity to poison you." ”

Shentu Weilan gasped, and her shoulders relaxed, as if she had become reassured......

Tao Shiheng got up and turned to the side, looked out the window, his white clothes moved slightly in the wind, and he warned expressionlessly, "I don't want to kill women, you leave me immediately!"

Shentu Weilan looked at Tao Shiheng's back, wondering, since he was so easily recognized, should he go back, but if he went back like this, wouldn't the preparations made by those senior brothers be useless...... She suddenly looked at the five-foot long sword leaning on the bamboo table, her mind was hot, she picked up the long sword, turned around and walked away quickly!

Tao Shiheng turned around, glanced at the bamboo table, and only reacted after a long time, and looked out, Shentu Weilan's figure was already in the bamboo forest more than ten zhang away, and he hurriedly chased out.

The cold moonlight shone into the bamboo forest, sparsely mottled the forest paths. When a gust of night wind blows, the branches and leaves of the bamboo sea "rustle" swaying, surging dark waves, and the back waves push the front waves, surging far away layer by layer!

The winding path is secluded, Tao Shiheng chased all the way to the depths of the bamboo sea, and there was no Shentu Weilan in front of him, only patches of "rustling" dark green were swaying with the wind, and the ground was covered with dead yellow leaves. There were a few silver rays of light in the depths of the bamboo forest, flickering with a faint murderous aura, and he stood still, spun around in a circle, and looked around calmly with a face...... Suddenly, a row of sharp bamboo thorns shot at his chest in front of him, he dodged one of his left sides, and at the same moment found that there was a row of bamboo thorns shooting from behind him almost at the same time, and he was empty-handed at the moment, so he could only jump up to avoid the front and back attacks. However, just as he jumped up in the air to avoid the bamboo thorns, a large net fell from above, entangling his whole body! Tao Shiheng tried to tear hard, but the more he struggled, the tighter the net became, and finally he fell to the ground......

"Hahaha!" Xiao Dushui, Mao Xuewang, and Mo Yinjiu really laughed insolently, and walked out of the bushes in front and behind.

Xiao Dushui mocked in a Sichuan tone, "Tao Shiheng, you finally fell into our hands!" He went up with a big kick and kicked Tao Shiheng's waist, a Chinese face was very hideous, and Mao Xuewang and Mo Yinjiu also punched and kicked when they stepped forward.

I saw Tao Shiheng "hmm" with a face enduring the pain and clenching his teeth tightly. Shentu Weilan held his long sword and stood on the other side and watched, unexpectedly a little unbearable......

Tao Shiheng was oozing blood from the corner of his mouth, and he was tied behind his back with his hands behind his back by a thick straw rope, and hung on a tree with a crooked neck next to Jinghu, and he could only barely stand on tiptoe. The three male apprentices of Qingcheng Sixiu beat him up again! Shentu Weilan didn't dare to look at this scene for a long time, she stood aside and turned her face to look at the calm lake, looking at the cold moon lying on the water, but every time she heard Tao Shiheng's "Hmm", her heart was pinched, as if the moon shadow kept beating with the water lines, and her mind was already turbulent......

"Senior brother, why don't you let me cut off his hands and feet, kill him with a sword, and avenge my uncle!" Mo Yinjiu glanced back at Xiao Dushui and Mao Xuewang, the three of them were already out of breath, and they really didn't have the strength to fight again.

When Shentu Weilan heard this, she was extremely entangled, and turned her head to look at Tao Shiheng, who was hung with scars, he still had a stubborn and cold face, and her eyes were moist...... She looked at the three senior brothers who had already been beaten and exhausted, and shook her head silently.

Xiao Dushui supported his knees with his hands, gasped for breath, and nodded to Mo Yinjiu in agreement.

"Hehe...... Mo Yinjiu drew his sword, stared at Tao Shiheng, and walked over with an excited face.

"Catch it!" At the same time as Mo Yinjiu charged a sword and stabbed at Tao Shiheng, Shentu Weilan threw the long sword at Tao Shiheng from the other side!

Seeing this, Mo Yinjiu instantly turned his sword and went straight to Tao Shiheng's heart! When it was too late, Tao Shiheng kicked the trunk sideways, and the hands behind him caught the long sword......

"Uh!" Mo Yinjiu fell to the ground instantly, blood gushing out of his neck.

Almost at the same time, Tao Shiheng threw his sword back, shook his body, and cut the hanging rope behind him and the rope that bound his hands together!

Xiao Dushui, Mao Xuewang, and Shentu Weilan were already stunned. I saw Tao Shiheng half-squatting on the ground, catching the shocking sword with his right hand backhand, a cold and frozen face, looking up, as if a tiger was out of the cage, full of murderous aura!

"Hmph!" At this time, someone suddenly said something behind the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect, and the three of them turned around when they heard the sound, and found that a red-robed person appeared about ten zhang behind them.

"Uncle Master!" Xiao Dushui looked at it carefully and ran over in surprise.

It turned out that the red-robed man was Mo Yaozhuang, one of the "Wind Sword" of the "Qingcheng Double Unique".

"Master!" Mao Xuewang and Shentu Weilan reacted and ran towards the red-robed man.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Dushui and Mao Xuewang, who were running at the front, were suddenly slapped hard by Mo Yaozhuang, and the two of them popped up to the left and right respectively, and fell to the ground vomiting blood!

"Look at the good things you have done, the Qingcheng faction is a decent family, and you are doing something wrong, which is simply insulting to the master, which makes me feel very sad!" Mo Yaozhuang stared at Xiao Dushui with a stern face, and the gray goat had to move with the wind.

"Uncle Shi, this guy just killed the third junior brother...... "Guozi covered his chest with a painful face.

"I have my own opinion!" Mo Yaozhuang shook his face and said.

"Master......" Shentu Weilan ran up to her and looked at her two fallen brothers in surprise.

Mo Yaozhuang didn't wait for her to say anything, and slapped her on the shoulder lock with a hard palm, knocking her away!

Tao Shiheng saw Shentu Weilan fall to his side, and spit out a mouthful of blood, he got up and said in a cold tone, "You shouldn't punish her!"

"Hmph, I don't need you to teach me. On that day, you killed my senior brother Xiao Yanyao in the Qingcheng Mountain Coal Kiln, and here today, you killed my apprentice again! New hatred and old hatred, now I will settle it with you!" Mo Yaozhuang said in an unstoppable tone.

"Then you make a move!" Tao Shiheng said lightly with a cold look in his eyes.

Mo Yaozhuang looked at Tao Shiheng, the surroundings were so quiet that only the rustling of bamboo branches and leaves could be heard, and the remaining three people of Qingcheng Sixiu also held their breath and watched the two people facing each other. Suddenly, a black cloud drifted by, obscuring the moon, and a cold murderous aura rose with the wind, and the gently floating sand and fallen leaves were ready to move. A sharp sword about four feet long and black was already out of its sheath, it buzzed, and with Mo Yaozhuang's hand waving from the bottom up, in the dim bamboo forest, sand and rocks flew in an instant, and the bamboo trees trembled.

"Ahh

Tao Shiheng saw that Mo Yaozhuang had reached three zhang in front of him, and he still stood still, holding the sword in his left hand in front of him, and grasping the hilt of the sword in his right hand. Suddenly, the moonlight was shining, the black clouds had passed, and when Mo Yaozhuang was about to enter the position of a zhang with the beating shadow, Tao Shiheng drew his sword with his right hand, and his whole body ejected out, passing by Mo Yaozhuang in an instant.

A cold light flashed through Shentu Weilan's eyes, and she saw Mo Yao Zhuang in front of her holding a black sword, staring motionless ahead. And she turned her face, and the white figure two feet away also stood still. Just as she was looking left and right, there was a rustle, and a gust of wind passed, and she saw that the blood mist spurting from Mo Yaozhuang's neck was enveloping the space in front of her, and it was warmly sprinkled on her face, chest, and hair! Shentu Weilan's eyes widened, and she fainted red.

Mo Yaozhuang's servant fell, "Ah...... Ah......" Xiao Dushui and Mao Xuewang screamed with pale faces, hurriedly got up, and kept running away from the forest without stopping!

Tao Shiheng flirted with his wrist and sword flower to return to the sheath, turned around and slowly walked towards Shentu Weilan, who had fainted to the ground......

At noon the next day, Shentu Weilan opened her eyes and leaned up, looked around, the simple futon bamboo bed, the interior decoration was also very elegant and simple, she realized that she was lying on a bed in Jinghu Xiaozhu, struggling to sit up, suddenly there was a sharp pain in her chest, cough cough...... She coughed hard.

"Wake up, drink the medicine first. Tao Shiheng walked in with a steaming bowl.

When Shentu Weilan saw this white dress and this cold face, she remembered that night when her master Mo Yaozhuang's blood was splashed on the spot, and the scene of his third senior brother Mo Yinjiu being sealed by a sword, as if everything was vivid. She stared at Tao Shiheng resentfully, and roared with a whimper, "You might as well kill me with a sword!"

"I know you must hate me because I killed your master and your brother last night. But even if you want to take revenge, you have to take care of your body first. So I advise you to drink this bowl of medicine first. Tao Shiheng took two steps closer, sat on the bamboo stool next to the bed, and reached out to hand over the medicine bowl.

Shentu Weilan stretched out her trembling hand, and suddenly saw a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a woman with a graceful figure, who had already walked to the door of Jinghu Xiaozhu, and with a bang, she pushed the medicine bowl in Tao Shiheng's hand away, and the medicine juice was all spilled on the wooden floor.

"Hu Tao Shiheng, I didn't expect you to be so embarrassed!" Wen Taizhen entered the door, just saw this scene, shrugged his thick eyebrows, blew a whistle and laughed.

Shentu Weilan pursed her lips, struggled to get up, put on her shoes, staggered around, passed by Wen Taizhen, and left by herself.

"The original time was tomorrow, and I don't plan to use force today. Tao Shiheng looked at Shentu Weilan's figure and walked out of the door, and said lightly to Wen Taizhen in a blink of an eye.

"I just wanted to hear your clues sooner. Wen Taizhen looked at Tao Shiheng, his eyes full of longing.

Tao Shiheng nodded slightly, and after his eyes motioned for Wen Taizhen to sit down, he told Wen Taizhen the clues he had gotten.

"You mean Zhang Mengbin from the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, he is a fine worker sent by the Snow Wolf Country?" Wen Taizhen said in surprise.

Tao Shiheng poured a cup of tea, pushed it in front of Wen Taizhen, then nodded, and then poured himself a cup as well.

"In his flying pigeon note, he actually deduced that the eggplant may be the princess of Dashun, this Zhang Mengbin is indeed thoughtful, and even the righteous Taoist sect leader has been poisoned by him, it seems that this person's methods are really not simple!" Wen Taizhen sighed.

"There is also the Fuzhou Cao Family Intelligence Network, which has become the primary target of eradication in the Snow Wolf Country. Tao Shiheng said, taking care of himself and drinking a cup of tea.

"You give me some time, I have to rush to Hangzhou Xiuhu Villa!" Wen Taizhen raised his eyebrows and got up anxiously.

"Wen Taizhen, you always think about how to help others, have you ever thought that you should let Cao Shubao face some things alone. Tao Shiheng gently put the teacup on the table and looked at Wen Taizhen.

"......" Wen Taizhen seemed to understand the meaning of his words, and agreed, "Okay, I'll be back soon." ”

Wen Taizhen saw Tao Shiheng nodding slightly, so he couldn't wait to turn around and quickly walked out of the door.
