"Brother Du, is it okay to sell me face?"

Gu Mubai, who was originally speechless, said such a sentence coldly, which made Du Yuchen's face instantly become very ugly, he Gu Mubai was looking for Xu Changfeng to go down the stairs.

Xu Changfeng was the person invited by Gu Mubai, and now that Du Yuchen wanted to slap him in the face, it was impossible for him to stand idly by. Besides, he Du Yuchen can not give Xu Changfeng face, but the Gu family's face can't be withheld. After all, Du Yuchen is now in Yangzhou, although he has official business, it is equivalent to sending people under the fence. If you make the master unhappy here, you won't have a good life in the future.

"Let go!"

Du Yuchen snorted coldly and waved away.

"Brother Gu, thank you for your help today. Xu Changfeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Du Yuchen leaving.

Gu Mubai shook his head and smiled, "It's just a trivial matter, but I said Brother Xu, if you have a holiday with this Commander Du, it's best to hide in Yangzhou during this time, after all, the official position is there." ”

Xu Changfeng nodded, if the people don't fight with the officials, can't he hide if he can't be provoked?

"Then ......" Gu Mubai glanced at Shi Dongyu and whispered: "Brother Xu, I won't bother you, about this batch of goods, I will go to Brother Xu to talk in detail in two days." ”

"Yes. Xu Changfeng nodded.

Today, Gu Mubai brought him to the Yangzhou official mansion, in addition to seeing his father, he also got acquainted with two Siye, one of whom was Dai Siye who wanted to eat Zhaoyuemen's batch of goods. After he saw Xu Changfeng, he was even more flattering, which was obviously trying to win over Xu Changfeng.

"Brother Xu, I haven't seen you for ten years, I miss it very much!" After Gu Mubai left, Shi Dongyu and Xu Changfeng left the Yangzhou Mansion together, "Go, go to me today, we won't get drunk or return." ”

When Xu Changfeng heard this, he said helplessly, "Forget about the wine, let's still drink tea." ”

"Hahaha...... Shi Dongyu couldn't help laughing, "Okay, then we'll replace wine with tea." ”

The two chatted and slowly walked out of Yangzhou City. Shi Dongyu lives in a small yard outside Yangzhou. His father was originally a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, but later because he offended the big people, which led to the dispersion of the family wealth and the death of both parents.

In desperation, he had no choice but to move out of Yangzhou City and buy this wooden house courtyard with the little money left in the family. Fortunately, his father had already set a baby for him, and now there are people at home to take care of him. He writes to people in Yangzhou City on weekdays, earns a little bit of money, and can barely support his family.

As for the scientific examination, he has not studied for many years, and it is difficult to even make up the entanglement to go to Chang'an.

"It's here, it's the front. Shi Dongyu pushed open the courtyard door, and at a glance, he saw a woman in a plain skirt standing in the courtyard feeding the chickens, "Lady, I'm back." ”

"Xianggong, why did you come back so early today?" The woman in the plain skirt heard Shi Dongyu's voice, and hurriedly trotted into the house, came out with a moist face towel, and washed Shi Dongyu's face.

"Hmm, who is this?" the woman in the plain skirt looked at Xu Changfeng and asked suspiciously.

Shi Dongyu turned around and said with a smile, "Lady, this is Xu Changfeng." ”

"Hello brother and sister. Xu Changfeng also greeted politely.

"It turns out that you are Brother Xu. The woman in the plain skirt smiled, "My father-in-law often mentions you to me." ”

"Lady, you will kill a chicken in a while, and let Brother Xu have dinner at our house tonight. Shi Dongyu said that, and pulled Xu Changfeng into the house.

The room was very clean and simple, with some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and the two of them drank tea in the house and continued to chat about various things.

It was getting darker and night was falling.

Zhou Qixuan walked in the alley with a wine jug, leaving the strict constraints of Chang'an, and he had a rare time with alcohol.

"Can drinking alcohol be more important than life?"

He was walking when a woman's voice came from behind him. Zhou Qixuan stopped in place, turned around and looked, the streets and alleys were empty, but he could vaguely hear the echo coming out.

He let out a long sigh, his face was very heavy, "Yang Yue sent you to kill me, right?"

"Zhou Qixuan, if you hide in Chang'an obediently, the queen mother can't do anything to you. The voice came out of nowhere, echoing faintly in the streets and alleys, "But not only did you come to Yangzhou, but you also smashed the horse gang's rice bowl, and the queen couldn't bear it." ”

Yang Qianchen...... He also has the surname Yang, so it is. Zhou Qixuan muttered a few words in a low voice, and asked in a deep voice, "Since Yang Yue is determined to kill me, why do you want to talk nonsense to me?"

"The queen mother has instructed that as long as you hand over the jade seal and cut off the meridians, you can spare your life. "This cold sound came from the alley at night, and it sounded very strange.

"Now this country is surnamed Li, not Zhou. When Zhou Qixuan heard this, his face couldn't help but show a touch of anger, "Besides, she Yang Yue is not from my Zhou family for a long time, but she still wants to covet my Zhou family's things, it's really wishful thinking." ”

Zhou Qixuan's voice fell, and the voice never sounded again.

Bang Dang!

The wine jug in Zhou Qixuan's hand shattered to the ground, and a sharp blade as ethereal as smoke reflected a cold light in the night. In an instant, Zhou Qixuan saw the person clearly, she was wearing a red dress, her figure was floating in the air, and under the fluttering skirt, she exuded a strong killing intent.

What the woman held in her hand was her natal sword, the Smoke Cloud Sword. Like smoke and clouds, killing people is only in the flick of a finger.

Sonorous!

The black sword fell from the sky and smashed the smoke cloud sword to the ground. The moment the snow-white blade touched the ground, it immediately turned into a cloud of mist and dissipated in front of Zhou Qixuan's eyes.

Whoosh!

The clouds and mist slowly rose upward, and then condensed into three sword qi to cut through the sky, shooting towards Zhou Qixuan's body.

This sword aura is very weird, it seems to be ethereal but scorching, Zhou Qixuan didn't dare to be sloppy, and hurriedly held the life-chasing sword and slashed forward. In the flash of lightning, the thunder exploded, and the sword intent that burst out of the life-chasing sword flashed away. But those three strange clouds of smoke were still hovering around Zhou Qixuan like poisonous snakes.

"Buzz!"

Another sword intent was forced out from the black blade.

It can be seen that at this moment, there is a black column of water flowing around Zhou Qixuan, which blends with the night like ink. The water column wrapped the smoke cloud sword qi around it, making it impossible to take a step closer at all.

"Poof!"

The figure of the woman in the red dress flashed, and suddenly appeared behind Zhou Qixuan, and the Yanyun Sword in her hand also pierced deeply into Zhou Qixuan's body, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

This is the strength of the Sixth-Order Dao Realm.

Even if Zhou Qixuan was only a fifth-order cultivator, he could have a natal sword, but his strength was still too weak compared to a sixth-order cultivator.

The battle ended quickly, and the winner was already decided before a pot of tea was even hot.

"If you lose, hand over the jade seal, otherwise the spiritual power attached to the blade will spread in your body. The woman said coldly.

Cultivators are also human beings, and even if their skin is indestructible, the liver in their body is extremely fragile. This is also the reason why you can't forcibly practice before washing the marrow, the fragile meridians can't contain the aura, and once the violent spiritual power penetrates into the body, it is very likely to explode and die.

"Hahaha......"

To the woman's surprise, instead of showing a trace of fear, Zhou Qixuan raised his head and laughed.

The woman in the red dress asked, "What are you laughing at?"

I laughed at Yang Yue's ignorance. An incomparably bright smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Qixuan's mouth, "Does she think that the reason why I can live in Chang'an unharmed is really just because of that empty contract?"

"What do you mean?"

The woman in the red dress realized that she couldn't drag it any longer, and with a thought, the smoke and cloud sword in her hand turned into smoke again. But before the spiritual power could penetrate in, a strange light suddenly burst out from Zhou Qixuan's body.

This is a dazzling golden light, and there is a faint sound of the dragon roaring in the golden light, which is extremely shocking.

On Zhou Qixuan's back, an extremely scary tattoo slowly emerged.

"It's ...... The woman in the red dress shook her head, "Impossible, how can you have a dragon mark on your body?"

Zhou Qixuan turned around, the life-chasing sword in his hand was also dyed in a golden color, he raised the sword high, and slashed forward.

The woman in the red dress frowned, her feet on the ground, trying to escape the deadly attack. However, she was too naïve, and her body had just jumped two feet high when she was pulled by a mysterious force.

The whole person couldn't move in the air, and fell to the ground from mid-air.

Brush!

The golden light fell, and the bones were gone, leaving only a pool of dried red blood on the ground, and a broken sword like scrap metal, which was clenched in the woman's hand.

Zhou Qixuan sighed and looked up at the endless night sky, "This dynasty can't let me live after all......"
