There is a small pavilion by the lake, a stone table in the pavilion, and two pairs of small stools.

Duan Zhantian sat at the table, his face was very bad, but the person opposite him looked leisurely.

Since his debut with the strength of the peak of the five grades six years ago, there have been more than 40 battles of all sizes, 11 battles of life and death, victory and defeat, and Duan Hunttian is not unsightly. It's just that this time the opponent has a lot to do with Hu Buxi, whom he regards as his lifelong enemy. Zhao Wu'an was only able to take over the trick he was proud of by just entering the realm of the second grade, which gave him a big blow.

Seeing that the drifting snow outside the pavilion was faintly decreasing, Zhao Wu'an picked up the sword box and stood up.

Duan Hunttian's expression changed, "Do you want to leave?"

Zhao Wu'an said lazily: "It's not that I want to leave, but I'm afraid that if I don't leave, I will be dragged down by you." ”

Zhao Wu'an didn't bother to go around in circles with Duan Hunttian, so he simply told the truth. After a fierce battle, the two of them had been resting in the pavilion for two incense sticks, and if they wanted to come to the official mansion to send people, they were about to find this side at this time. Duan Hunttian killed someone after all, and it was difficult to escape prison, and Zhao Wuan didn't want to be implicated.

Duan Hunttian groaned for a while, got up and bowed: "The young man is very skilled, Duan admires it." In today's war, I know the true atmosphere of the second grade, and my generation is really ashamed of such a realm. ”

Zhao Wu'an smiled: "This is wrong. Your sword skills are clearly fierce, but you have to wait until after 200 moves to see the real chapter, I think it should be a congenital defect. People like you who should have given up martial arts have climbed all the way to this point, which is what makes Wu'an admire. ”

Duan Jiatian was stunned. After only two shots, Zhao Wuan could see that he had a birth defect in his body, which made him even more impressive.

A master against the enemy, if the move is fierce, he must pay attention to a thunderous move, and kill the enemy with one move. When you make a move, you can mobilize the strength of your whole body, condense at one point, and suddenly burst, so that people can not be prevented. Duan Hunttian did the opposite, and he had to wait until the sea of qi on both sides was about to dry up, and he could continue to fight purely by relying on the cycle of exhaling and breathing between the battle arrays, before he made a brazen move, precisely because he was deficient in the eight veins of the congenital Qi Sutra, if he suddenly exerted his strength at the beginning, the internal force of the whole body would not be connected, and he would eventually abandon his cultivation.

Zhao Wu'an, who is in the second-grade realm alone, has such heroic courage, and Hu Buxi in the first-grade realm is so fascinating!

Duan Huntian suppressed the excitement in his heart, hugged his fists and said: "I hate to see each other late, I really hate to see each other late!" In the next one, he is a wanderer who wanders the rivers and lakes, and he is not afraid of what official government will hunt him down. This time, I will leave Jiangning and never return, and it will be no big problem, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet a master like you!"

Zhao Wu'an said lightly: "I'm just a layman." This time I came to Jiangning, and I just planned to go south by the way. ”

"Heading south?" Duan Hunttian was stunned, "That coincides with me." Duan has an eldest brother who is planning to go south to return to his hometown these days, and Duan comes to Jiangning to accompany him. ”

The eldest brother in his mouth should be the old man with long eyebrows sitting next to him in the restaurant, holding a whisk. When Duan Hunttian saw the beautiful woman on Zhao Wu'an's waist and attacked him, the old man also dissuaded him, but unfortunately he couldn't stop Duan Hunttian who was surging in blood at all, and then stood by and watched. Until the gray-clothed swordsman Yin Fengxiao raided, there was no reaction.

was originally the nominal elder brother, but he could watch Duan Hunttian put himself in danger without imposing a stop, and Zhao Wu'an's impression of this old man was really not much better. Most of them have been floating in the red dust for a long time, and most of the time they will protect themselves, even if the righteous brother is in trouble, it is difficult to persuade him to help him with all his might.

This opinion flashed through his heart, and Zhao Wu'an didn't say anything, but just hugged his fists and said goodbye: "Then Wu'an will retire first." Being able to fight with Mr. Duan is also a blessing in Zhao Wuan's life. ”

Unknowingly, Zhao Wu'an was also infected with a trace of the habits of the rivers and lakes, and he gave up the battle with Duan Hunttian, and his heart was also impassioned, and his ambition was difficult to hide.

Although the flying sword is in the box, the sword heart has soared into the sky.

Duan Hunttian said briskly: "Then goodbye to the rivers and lakes!"

Waving goodbye to Duan Hunttian, Zhao Wu'an turned his head and put the box on his back, and walked straight into Zhongshan behind Xuanwu Lake.

I made an appointment with An Qing to go south after the New Year, but in fact, I was not in a hurry to go to Jiangning Mansion. It's just that Jiuda Temple has been abolished, and staying any longer is undoubtedly waiting to be killed, even with the thickness of his face, he felt that it was too inappropriate to go to An Qing's house to live like this, so he came to Jiangning alone.

Jiangning Mansion is a well-deserved big city, which is naturally mixed, and with Zhao Wu'an's means, he casually exposed a few illegal salt dealers, and got a lot of hush money. It just so happened that the weather was also cold, so it was reasonable to buy a white robe and choose a restaurant for a meal. was able to meet Duan Hunttian like this, and there was a lot of trouble.

Although he didn't kill anyone, the movement was so big that Jiangning Mansion couldn't go back in a short time. It was supposed to be a nerve-wracking accident, but fortunately, there was such a bell mountain outside the city. Although it is not high, it is rich in vegetation and has everything.

Zhao Wu'an is a casual character, he was penniless back then, and he ran from Kunlun to Miaojiang. The more deep mountains and old forests there are, the better Zhao Wu'an can live. As for the ten years of life in Jiuda Temple, it was like Elysium.

Zhongshan is not high, but the road into the mountain is a little tortuous. From the back of Xuanwu Lake, I walked three or four miles, and in front of me was a long sheep intestine path, which zigzagged around the back of the mountain. That's where the real climb up the mountain is.

The forest was quiet, except for a few barking dogs from the houses at the foot of the mountain. About an hour before dusk, smoke rose from the houses. Zhao Wu'an didn't want to disturb the quiet life of this Zhongshan person, so he quietly picked up a trail and walked through the mountains and forests.

After walking a few steps, I heard a human voice.

"It must be around here......" The chattering man seemed to be very uneasy.

Zhao Wuxin moved, and before he saw the comer, he shrank behind a rock, took off his hat, and only quietly poked out his forehead and a pair of eyes.

Compared to the winding sheep intestines of the main road, this forest path is simply a cotton thread, and it can hardly accommodate two people side by side. The three people who came on were also one after the other, and they were only a few steps away from each other.

When he saw the girl walking in the middle, Zhao Wu'an's eyes lit up, and he immediately recognized it as Duan Taoli.

As for the other two, although he didn't have much of an impression, he always felt very familiar. The one who opened the way was a well-dressed young man with a sword, and the last young man was dressed in sackcloth shoes, looking very shabby.

The further he went, the more the footsteps of the young man at the end dragged on, his face was bitter and unspeakable, and he pleaded: "Hero, chivalrous girl, can you not go any further......

"No, since the traces of Lan Zhouzi have been discovered, how can you give up halfway?" the young man with the sword clenched the roll of cloth in his hand and said indignantly.

Duan Taoli, who was walking in the middle, didn't speak, but frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

I thought that this time I was looking for a needle in a haystack in Zhongshan Mountain, but who knew that not long after I got out of the city gate, I saw a cloth left by Lan Zhouzi in the roadside teahouse, and said that he was waiting on the top of Zhongshan Mountain, and he would not see or disperse.

Pinching the cloth, Li Huanglai was extremely excited, everything was as he expected, when Lan Zhouzi found that he couldn't break the mechanism on the wooden tube after racking his brains, he would inevitably be forced to make this decision and reveal his identity to invite Li Huang to the meeting.

As for how to persuade Lan Zhouzi with a three-inch incorruptible tongue after really seeing him, that is Li Huanglai's plan later.

However, not long after entering the mountain, the innkeeper was not happy. First, it is too far from the inner city, and it will take a lot of time to go back, and it is very likely that the work will be delayed. Second, Lan Zhouzi is a thunderous thief in the coastal area, and confronting him head-on is obviously not a smart move.

Duan Taoli also felt that Li Huanglai was a little self-conscious. What kind of character is Lan Zhouzi, and how sure is Li Huanglai that he can get a bargain from him? Besides, if you invite them to go deep into Zhongshan, the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, and they have also lost the opportunity, and it is very likely that they will be framed by Lan Zhouzi and go in vain.

But Duan Taoli also knew that it was Li Huanglai's negligence that was stolen by Lan Zhouzi, and now that he has the opportunity to retrieve the drawings, he will naturally not let it go. Therefore, I knew that it was useless to dissuade myself, so I simply followed into the mountain, and maybe I could gain something.

The predecessor of Jiangning Mansion was the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Jinling Armory, and there were many coveted elite weapons. Rao is a peach carp, and it is difficult to say that there is no slightest heartbeat. After all, if you get this drawing, the success rate of recovering the country will be greatly increased. And if it falls into the hands of those with bad intentions, it will surely cause chaos in the world.

Thinking of this, Duan Taoli also felt that he couldn't let Lan Zhouzi go free. Although he had never dealt with this person, from Li Huanglai's tone, Duan Taoli also judged that this person was definitely not a good person.

It's just that I don't know, where will Lan Zhouzi be waiting at this time? Duan Taoli glanced at the rocks on the side of the road, and thought to himself, it can't be just behind this rock, right?

Zhao Wu'an, who shrank his head and observed secretly, hurriedly hid himself tightly.

"Enough is enough. The little guy who walked at the end stopped, his face full of anger, "I don't want to do this anymore." It's too much trouble. ”

Li Huang turned his head back and forth, glanced at him with a frown, and said coldly: "You must follow." Only you have seen Lan Zhouzi, we can't let him escape. ”

"He has already left a silk book to guide you here, will you go far?" said indignantly, "My lord, you only helped me hire a job for half a day, and I have to go back to earn money to support my family! Lord Li, you wander the rivers and lakes, you don't have this kind of trouble, we miscellaneous guys, are not so lucky!"

The corners of Li Huanglai's mouth moved, and his face was very ugly.

Zhao Wu'an, who was hiding behind the stones, heard the quarrel and secretly stuck out his head again. It's strange to say, Li Huanglai's angry face, how he really looks at it and feels familiar. followed the time I met Su Qinghe in Qingdi Township, and I had a similar feeling.

Zhao Wuxin moved. Don't......

At that time, Li Huanglai tried his best to restrain his emotions and said in a deep voice: "If you have any arrears, I will make it up to you." ”

"Hmph, Mr. Li is going to be strong again!" "The little guy snorted coldly, "Holding a pear blossom velvet umbrella in his hand, wearing a white jade sword at his waist, and living in the most luxurious restaurant in Jiangning Mansion, Mr. Li is really a wealthy family." But everyone knows that without the support of the Heavenly Immortal Sect, the Gusu Meng family has already fallen!"

Li Huanglai's face changed greatly, and he said angrily: "A cheap little guy, what nonsense!"

The scene suddenly changed, Duan Taoli was at a loss for a while, Zhao Wu'an, who was hiding behind the stones, had nothing to do, and after listening to the conversation between the two, he thought about it as if he had found a good time.

Speaking of the Tianxian Sect and the Gusu Meng family, it must be the case he solved when he was in Hangzhou. Xiao Donglai, the sect leader of the Heavenly Immortal Sect, was murdered by Qiao Xi, an orphan girl of unknown origin, but in fact, it was to achieve Jiang Caiyi's revenge. As soon as he died, the prestige that the Heavenly Immortal Sect had accumulated with great difficulty naturally disappeared, and now even if he still survived, he was afraid that he would still be unable to escape the end of being annexed in the end.

However, the Gusu Meng family is wealthy, and the marriage with the Tianxian Sect can only be said to be the icing on the cake at best, and the amazing Tianxian Banquet is also funded and organized by the Meng family. Although the Heavenly Immortal Sect died, the Meng family would not fall into the middle of the road. What this little guy said seemed to be no different from gibberish.

Unexpectedly, the little guy not only did not bow his head and admit his mistake, but intensified his efforts, bypassed Duan Taoli's side, approached Li Huanglai, and said coldly word by word: "The Meng family is the surname of the previous dynasty, and the person who killed the sect master of the Tianxian Sect was escorted to Kaifeng and released that night. It is self-evident who to find to blame for the crime. In that kind of place, only Meng Qianlei was the only one who could kill Xiao Donglai. As soon as the head of the Meng family is imprisoned, the Meng family will immediately have no leader and kill each other. The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was happy to see them killing each other, and he also used Xiao Donglai's death to erase a disaster for the dynasty. ”

"Although the Meng family still has a breath to support, the building will collapse, which is already an established number. Whether it is prosperity or decline, they have been in the south of the Yangtze River for a hundred years, and they have a lot of money and emptiness, but they don't have much to worry about. But you're different—"

"Without the Gusu Meng family, Li Huang is here, you are not even a dog. ”

Li Huanglai's face changed greatly, and under the mixture of anger, he shouted angrily, and reached out to pull out the long sword in the sheath, eager to let the blood of this little guy who spoke wildly splashed on the spot.

But he made a fatal mistake.

He was too close to this little guy.

It was so close that a single palm would kill people instantly, so close that even the white jade long sword, which he had always been proud of, was stuck in the sheath and difficult to pull out.

In fact, as soon as his hand touched the hilt of the sword.

Bang!

He spat out a mouthful of bloody arrows, and his body fell to the ground like a bird pierced by a stray arrow.
