Walking in the streets and alleys of Dream Tower, Fang Xiaodao once again remembered the orchid who died that day. For her, this royal court is actually a hell, and her death is just a journey from one hell to another. Fang Xiaodao is not as miserable as her, but he is also in a reincarnation like her. He walked from one sinister place of intrigue to another, as if peace was more precious than anything else.

After walking for a while, Fang Xiaodao walked into a deserted courtyard, and soon someone followed. Fang Xiaodao turned around and said, "What are you doing with me?"

The man took off his hat and said, "Of course I killed you." ”

Fang Xiaodao looked at this person in disbelief: "You, why do you want to kill me?"

The man said, "Because you deserve to die!"

Fang Xiaodao shook his head and said, "No, because you want to die." ”

The person who came with him was not very old, and the stubble on his chin was still very immature. I can't figure out why someone I've never met before would say he deserves to die, and it doesn't seem like it's a joke.

The man said, "Because you moved people who shouldn't have moved." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "You should know that I am very angry now, and I will definitely be very ruthless." ”

The man sneered: "Then you may not know, I have always been very ruthless. ”

Fang Xiaodao looked at his knife, which was about two feet and three inches, and then picked up a wooden stick from the ground and said, "I know, a person who must do it when others don't have weapons must have full malice." ”

The man didn't speak, and he acquiesced.

Fang Xiaodao waved the wooden stick and said, "I'll give you a chance, a chance to live, tell me why you came and who asked you to come." ”

The man pulled out his shiny knife, and the light of the knife jumped on his face a few times, and said, "You didn't have a chance to ask." After speaking, he suddenly killed Fang Xiaodao.

This knife is very amazing, at least Fang Xiaodao has not seen many swordsmen like this, his knife is not only fast, but also ruthless. But there is one thing that is very deadly, fast is not invincible, as long as you are not so fast that others can't dodge, you should think about whether you have forgotten yourself for the sake of fast. Self-forgetfulness is a realm, but forgetting one thing and losing the other is never a realm. People who do their best to kill people have a common problem, and if they don't succeed, they will become benevolent. Fang Xiaodao was not slow, his sword could be at least a few points faster than this person's knife. But he wasn't an assassin and would never let anything get out of hand.

This man's knife was not only out of control, but he was also almost out of control. This means that the first knife will be fast, the second knife will be slower, and if this situation continues, it will later fall into chaos and collapse without a fight.

Fang Xiaodao only used one move, "Life and Death", because he felt that the other party's life was only worth one move. He never belittled the most precious life in the world, but for a person like him who has no ego, he feels that he is despising his own life. A person who despises his own life does not deserve sympathy, but should make people feel angry.

The man probably didn't expect that he would be so weak when a knife touched a stick of wood. He had already carried ten successful forces, but the stick of wood had gone around his blade for a week. Then after he was exhausted, a very terrifying sword technique suddenly appeared, that is, "Life and Death Contract".

However, this person did not die, not because Fang Xiaodao showed mercy, but because the wooden strip was never a long sword, it was a little weaker, and it did not penetrate deep into the chest.

Fang Xiaodao looked at the situation, and the blood that was connected in a line flowed to the ground, and the dust on the ground turned into red mud. Then Fang Xiaodao said a sentence that he himself thought was the most compassionate sentence: "Red clay is more beautiful than black soil, but I like cinnabar dyeing."

Then he threw down the stick and left without looking back. This shows one thing, he let go of a person who was going to kill him, and he had no regrets in his heart.

He wanted to see how the sword killed the envoy of the Central Plains, but he knew that he couldn't go, the people in the royal court were mixed, and going was just to cause chaos for Qiu Zhangyi and Ding Jianliang. Therefore, Fang Xiaodao suddenly found that the whole day of asking for an entire day from An Jing Mountain could only be used to squander. Then splurge, there isn't much time left to splurge anyway. It's good to follow Anjing Mountain, take a detour to the Northern Desert, and then go back to the Central Plains.

Fang Xiaodao walked along the long street until he couldn't see a single person in the wasteland, looking at the yellowing dead grass on the ground, and suddenly found that it was late autumn. This means that it has been half a year since he left Huahe Town, and it also means that it has been half a year since Qin Bugui died. Shouldn't you go back to pay respects, but the revenge has not yet been avenged, how can you kneel down in front of the grave with peace of mind!

After a long time, the yellow leaves blown by the autumn wind suddenly slapped on Fang Xiaodao's face, clothes, and raised palms. Just like Fang Xiaodao's mood, he was as chaotic and as lost. There are only a few times in life, and whether to continue to be so disappointed or happy in the future, it seems that there is no hope. So, that day's Fang Xiaodao made a decision in the wilderness.

In the Sword and Horse Palace, Qiu Zhangyi, who was pacing back and forth, suddenly stopped and stared at Ding Jianliang and said, "If I send a black owl to fight at this moment, can you exchange the head of the Hu people on the battlefield for the forgiveness of the Central Plains Imperial Court?"

Ding Jianliang said: "I dare to give it a try." ”

Ding Jianliang would never be too full of words, but Qiu Zhangyi knew that there was no one in Daoma Chuan who could give such high hopes except him.

Qiu Zhangyi said: "It's easier to find an excuse than anything, but the battle is not easy to fight." If you take the Black Owl to the expedition, you will have Shahe Buye as your backing, not only will you have no worries, but the army will be more than just the Black Owl. ”

Ding Jianliang said: "But it doesn't seem to be good to use troops without the order of the Sword and Horse King." ”

Qiu Zhangyi said: "My father asked me to handle everything, and Zhan and I naturally have the final say." You just go and prepare it right away, and I'll do the rest. ”

Ding Jianliang did not feel a lot of pressure, but felt a lot more relaxed. The grass on the wall is not good, and it may not be a long-term solution for two neighbors to fight and not help anyone. Because the two neighbors are strong neighbors, no matter how powerful the sword and horse are, the area of the sword and horse river is small, and the people are few, and compared with the two big countries, it is just a small place. Watching the fire from the other side will also lead to burning, and there is no absolutely neutral position in this world.

Qiu Zhangyi played the first big game of chess in his life. And his purpose is by no means a square knife that meets in the water, but to establish great power and do great things. The intrigues of Daomachuan are becoming more and more frequent, and the prestige of the Daoma King is getting lower and lower, and what is needed now is steel means. It doesn't matter who did the killing of the Central Plains envoy, the important thing is to let him know how turbulent the undercurrent is under the surface of the Daoma River. Knowing this, he didn't even think about killing Fang Xiaodao to calm the anger of the Central Plains Imperial Court, because blindly forbearance would make the enemy more and more arrogant. Sending the black owl out to fight seemed to have made the Qiu family have a lot fewer soldiers and horses, but the Sword and Horse King once again rushed ahead. This will undoubtedly win the hearts and minds of many people, especially the people, and if they can reunite, the rest of the families will have nothing to worry about.

Fang Xiaodao originally planned to go back and say goodbye to Ding Jianliang, but after walking for a while, he saw a group of swords and horses chasing a Hu man. This bearded man looks familiar, and his clothes are luxurious. It turned out to be a Hu envoy, although it may be a fake Hu envoy.

Fang Xiaodao saw that this person made a meteor hammer, and it was as unstoppable as a comet when he wielded it. Looking at the posture, these swords and horses can't kill him, his martial arts are much more clever than himself.

The envoy gradually approached, and when he saw Fang Xiaodao, he suddenly said, "Help." ”

Fang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, flew up and kicked one of the cavalrymen down, and then rode his horse and suddenly hit the neck of another horse. Then the man, like a swallow, flew up from his horse, and a rope flew out of his hand, tearing one man off his horse. This rope is actually the reins of a horse that have just been torn off.

These rabbits have risen and fallen, and they are neat and neat, which is not admirable. Hu Envoy shouted hello on the horse, and the meteor was also unceremonious, scattering the swords and horses.

After the sword horse left, Fang Xiaodao said curiously: "Is the envoy not good at living or eating, do you have to come out with the sword horse to practice martial arts?"

Hu Envoy rubbed his chin a few times, and all his beard fell off, and then he immediately turned into a handsome young man from a few strange things on his face.

The young man said with a smile: "In Xia Baiyunxiao, I have heard of Fang Shaoxia's prestige for a long time, and when I see it today, I admire it!"

Fang Xiaodao was stunned, Bai Yunxiao, the white son of the Southwest Bai family among the four sons of martial arts. In the Central Plains, he was a big man, in the southwest he was a figure who called for wind and rain, and when he arrived in Daomachuan, he still stirred up a storm.

The four sons of martial arts, so far Fang Xiaodao has seen them, except for Huo Fengcheng, they are all worthy of the word "son". And Qiu Zhangyi, he is no longer a character who can be imprisoned by the title of the fourth prince of martial arts.

Fang Xiaodao said: "It turned out to be Bai Gongzi, disrespectful." ”

Bai Yunxiao said: "Yesterday was a joke, but today I am really cornered." ”

Fang Xiaodao said curiously: "Oh?"

So Bai Yunxiao told the whole story, and it turned out that Qiu Zhangyi ordered Bai Yunxiao to be killed. He wants to send troops, this is to show goodwill to the Central Plains, this is to declare war on the Hu people. Therefore, the envoy of the Hu people is not ready to give any good face, he wants to use this envoy's head as a war letter. At the same time, he had already ordered Daoma to assemble and immediately expel the Hu people who were staying in Daomachuan. Therefore, Bai Yunxiao, an unlucky person, entered an extremely dangerous situation. He originally wanted Dao Ma Chuan to declare war on the Hu people, but he didn't expect that he had not yet made a move, and it became a living war letter.

After listening to Bai Yunxiao's narration, Fang Xiaodao said: "Then this is a happy event, your goal has been achieved." All you need to do is change your outfit and leave Daomachuan!"

Bai Yunxiao sighed and said: "It's a pity that the heavens are not beautiful, and there are still some conspiracies and tricks in the middle." If it's just that simple, this knife is too simple. ”

Fang Xiaodao had no words, he hated intrigues.

Bai Yunxiao said: "My family lives in the southwest, so when I came, I had already discovered that there were tens of thousands of Di troops secretly assembled in the west of Daoma River, and they might fight undeclared at any time. Qiu Zhangyi chose to declare war on Daomachuan, which is a wise thing, but it is not a thing that can calm Daomachuan. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "In this case, Dao Ma Chuan had better stabilize himself first, why didn't Bai Gongzi come here thousands of miles away to make an obstacle?"

Bai Yunxiao said: "This tens of thousands of Di people's army is not trying to invade the Central Plains, or Daomachuan. It's that they're going to help a man become king, so you know?"

Fang Xiaodao frowned and said, "You mean, someone covets the position of the Sword and Horse King, and does not hesitate to attract foreign enemies to help, but what good is it to the Di people by doing so?"

Bai Yunxiao nodded and said: "It's very simple, there are people in Daomachuan who are plotting for a throne, and the Di people have long been plotting against the southwest of my Central Plains. But the south of Daoma River is the southwest, and the west is the Di people. For the sake of its own long-term peace and stability, it is better for the southwest to be in the hands of friends than enemies. Therefore, if the Di people want to swallow the southwest, they will definitely involve the interests of Daomachuan. And Daomachuan did not participate in the war between the Central Plains and the Di people, which should be the price paid by a certain Daomachuan. ”

Fang Xiaodao felt unbelievable, how crazy it must be to pay for the stability of the entire Daoma River for the sake of power. However, in this world of deceit, there are not many covenants that are sincere. Daomachuan, a careerist, is likely to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and Sidi may not only plot against the Central Plains and have no interest in Daomachuan. This covenant, in fact, was that the two sides were fighting against the tiger from the beginning.

Bai Yunxiao smiled: "Shaoxia may not know that I have a great friendship with your righteous eldest brother. You and I meet, this is also a kind of fate. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Oh! It turns out that the son and the eldest brother are old friends, but fortunately, I didn't make a stingy move today." ”

Bai Yunxiao said: "According to Yin Sheng's temper, the most important thing to do at this moment is to get drunk." But I'm afraid I still have a lot of things to do at the moment, and I'm going to say goodbye to Shaoxia. ”

After Fang Xiaodao and Bai Yunxiao separated, Bai Yunxiao re-entered the royal court, and it seemed that he had not given up yet. This has to make people ponder, Bai Yunxiao hopes that Daomachuan will send troops to attack the Hu people, but he also doesn't want chaos in the southwest. Neither of these two things is easy, but he has to do two things together. As for how to do it, Fang Xiaodao didn't think he had many options. Even if you tell Qiu Zhangyi as soon as possible, things may not get better.

After worrying about other people's affairs, it's time to worry about yourself, at this time, I don't know if I have become the target of public criticism. But even if it's not, it's not going to be far.

Fang Xiaodao wanted to go directly to the Black Wind Forest to wait for the An family brothers, but suddenly there was a trace of concern in his heart that he couldn't let go. Shan Yan, a stupid woman, dared to face the heroes for herself in the Valley of Broken Souls, but she may not dare in Daomachuan. Therefore, if she wants to leave, she can't be allowed to do stupid things again.

As soon as he walked down the street of the royal court, he found himself being followed again. It seems that this Dao Ma Chuan is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and he is hiding it here, as if he is deceiving himself.

Suddenly turning around, a white-haired old man said, "Little brother, are you interested in taking a trip?" ”

Fang Xiaodao shook his head and said, "No." After speaking, he wanted to take a detour to leave, but as soon as he left, several people intentionally or unintentionally blocked his way. Fang Xiaodao turned back again, the situation was still the same, he was already surrounded.

Fang Xiaodao smiled at the white-haired old man and said, "Senior, I'm suddenly a little hungry, do you have anything to eat and drink there?"

The white-haired old man smiled and said, "Yes, there is enough wine and meat." If you want to sleep, you can sleep for a long time. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "That's really a good place, I have to go!"

The white-haired old man walked over, gently grabbed Fang Xiaodao's wrist and said, "Then let's go." ”

Fang Xiaodao struggled to struggle, but the other party did not move, Fang Xiaodao had to say embarrassedly: "Let go, pulling and pulling is like a broken sleeve." ”

The white-haired old man smiled: "It's better than finding a 100-pound flail for you to bring to the market!"

Fang Xiaodao nodded and said, "That's natural, there is still a big difference between a treat and a seizure." ”

The white-haired old man walked with Fang Xiaodao for a short time, and then came to the outside of the palace wall. Fang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment and said, "It's too much, in such a sacred place, why don't we go through the gate?"

The white-haired old man said, "Young man, is your tongue going to keep talking as long as you're there?"

Fang Xiaodao hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, it is good to have a tongue to plug the gap of this broken mouth." ”

The white-haired old man said, "Well, that's good." ”

The old man in white carried a small knife into the palace wall, and after a few ups and downs, he arrived at an inaccessible palace courtyard. This was the first time Fang Xiaodao watched others carry him like a chicken, and there was a sense of shame in his heart, but he knew very well that he couldn't beat him.

After landing on the ground, Fang Xiaodao patted the other party's hand holding his shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, I can walk, you are too polite, I'm not tired." ”

The old man glanced at him with a calm face, and Fang Xiaodao immediately closed his mouth.

When I entered the gate, I found that this palace building was amazingly large. As soon as the old man passed, a door would open, and inside the door there was a guy with his eyes closed, and his weapons were different, but the same thing was that none of these people were young.

When he reached the eighth gate, Fang Xiaodao suddenly stopped and stared at the swordsman for a long time. The old man didn't interrupt him, but let him continue to stare at the people.

Suddenly, the swordsman opened his eyes, looked at Fang Xiaodao and said, "You are missing a sword in your hand. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "There are many famous swords in the world, but they are really not famous, and there are few that are truly peerless. The Dragon's Spine Sword has always been invincible, but before the Dragon's Spine was born, there was also a famous sword. It's just that now it's gradually forgotten, and everyone still thinks that this sword has long disappeared with the Sword Sect. ”

The sword in the man's hand looked quaint and unpretentious, and the style did not look like it is today, because it had existed for thousands of years. This sword is heavy, but it is not as heavy as Pei Xudong's heavy sword. But if you talk about the power, quality, and sharpness of the sword, you can't talk about it. The name is "Snow Dark". It means that the sword is unsheathed like snow, and there is nowhere to dodge.

Fang Xiaodao had never despised Dao Ma Chuan, but he definitely didn't expect that a guard could have an ancient famous sword. Usually, such a sword can only be matched with people with top swordsmanship. These guards, any of them are such a strong figure in today's martial arts. Only Dao Ma Chuan can be worthy of people like them to be a guard.

The old man behind him said, "If you are interested, you can borrow it for a few days afterwards, but only if he is willing to borrow you." ”

Fang Xiaodao sneered: "I think the premise is that you don't kill me." ”

After following the old man for a while, he walked through a total of eighteen gates and saw eighteen different guards, and then stopped.

Fang Xiaodao looked at the last guard, and suddenly his expression was cold, but he didn't say anything.

Looking at the change in Fang Xiaodao's expression, he said unceremoniously: "If you have something to say, you can say it, isn't it strange, why does he look like a dead man?"

Fang Xiaodao shook his head and said: "It's not strange, it's not impossible for you to let me pretend to be dead, but I can really think of myself as a dead person, there is really only one person in this world." ”

The old man said: "Who said that you are a fledgling, why can't I believe it." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Do you think that my grandfather usually doesn't tell me about these top martial arts masters in the world?"

The old man said with a look of understanding: "That's right, you know that I shouldn't be curious." You may not know much about the heroes and heroes in recent years in the martial arts, but you must have heard of these half-buried people. Can you guess who I am for so long?"

Fang Xiaodao looked at him and said, "I'm really sorry, I really haven't heard of it, Your Excellency. ”

The old man smiled and said, "Then have you heard of the Ninefold Soul Separation Sword?"

Fang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, staring at the old man, and suddenly felt that he could come here, and sure enough, God wanted to kill him.
