On the wall of Ningfu in Qidong County, Xu Xian held his beloved sword, lying on the narrow brick wall, holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth, listening to the chirping sound of two little girls in the yard not far away, and his heart was a little itchy. He touched the mustache on his chin, smiled, sat up, and prepared to go into the courtyard to find something to say.

Suddenly, he stiffened, the cynical look on his face disappeared in an instant, and his neck turned sharply, looking at the ancient road at the entrance of the county in the distance. There was a heavy killing aura there, which made his heart tug. Xu Xian subconsciously glanced towards the Ning Mansion, only to see Luo Yong standing not far away, holding a spear in his hand, looking at him with some doubts.

Xu Xian hurriedly jumped off the wall, and said as he walked towards Luo Yong: "There is a terrible person here, you and I are not opponents. ”

Luo's pupils contracted slightly. He tightened his hand holding the spear and said, "In broad daylight, will you come to kill Ming?" The tower is still recuperating from its injuries and can't go to battle, so it's probably going to invite that little brother." ”

Xu Xian scratched the back of his neck with some hesitation, leaned closer to Luo Yong, and asked, "Didn't Brother Xuanyuan say that if it is not a critical moment, don't easily ask that little brother to make a move?" He has a special identity, he is just here to help, and he doesn't want to get involved in this matter." ”

"You and I have reached the moment of life and death, can you still care about his special identity?" Luo Yong didn't care about what Xu Xian said, in his eyes, after all, only Master Ning Liang was the most important.

Xu Xian sighed, said no more, and walked towards the depths of the mansion with the sword on his back. Luo Yong didn't care about him, and stood in front of the gate like a javelin, clenching the spear in his hand, although his heart was nervous, but his face did not show it. Soon, he also felt the aura that was getting closer and closer, and the person who came was definitely a master, and he was on par with Wei Zongtian at the beginning. But even Wei Zongtian never had such a heavy bloody aura, and through a gate, Luo Yong could smell the pungent smell, which made this man who had killed the enemy on the battlefield couldn't help frowning.

It was a feeling that I couldn't put into words. This bloody breath is not the blood that comes out of the open fight, but the black blood that slowly flows and dries with the smell in the rotten and damp cave, like a hundred dead mice.

The sound of footsteps outside the door gradually became clearer and audible. Then, there was a knock on the door.

It was a very regular knock on the door, very polite, neither heavy nor light, and the doorknob knocked three times on the door. Luo Yong glared angrily, and as soon as the spear was horizontal, he was about to stab straight towards the door, when he suddenly heard Ning Liang's voice behind him, and said, "Put down the gun and go open the door." ”

Ning Liang's words were comparable to a holy decree for Luo Yong. With such a fluttering sentence, Luo Yong immediately stopped the figure that was about to eject at any time, turned around and saluted Ning Liang, who was pacing, put the spear aside, and strode to the gate.

Ning Liang's face was expressionless, and seeing that Luo Yong was still a little hesitant, he waved his hand again. So Luo Yong didn't rub it anymore and pulled the door open neatly. I saw a person standing outside the door, it was the monk who was not like a monk, and the fish dragon guard was not like the fish dragon guard, Luo Yong didn't know him, but he seemed to have heard of this person in the fish dragon guard, such a maverick dress, it is difficult to find a second one in the world. Pharmacist Hong showed an extremely hideous smile to Luo Yong, who came to open the door, and the bloody aura went straight into Luo Yong's nose, making him can't help but want to retreat, but his sense of mission makes him unable to retreat. At this time, Ning Liang behind him said, "Stand down", Luo Yongcai frowned and stepped aside.

Pharmacist Hong folded his hands together, holding Buddha beads, and walked into Ning Mansion like a monk who turned into a monk, but his eyes were nailed to Ning Liang like a demon, as if he wanted to eat him. But Ning Liang seemed to turn a blind eye to Pharmacist Hong, and said lightly: "It's Pharmacist Hong of the Fish Dragon Guard." Visiting the Humble House, there is a long way to go. Why don't you go to the hall and have a cup of tea?"

Pharmacist Hong didn't give Ning Liang face, the corners of his mouth grinned, and said, "This official is not here to drink tea. Ningzhi County, this official is investigating a big case, suspecting that it is related to you, and needs your cooperation in the investigation. ”

Luo Yongteng on the side became angry all of a sudden, and was about to choke back, but heard Ning Liang say: "Since this is the case, Hong Qianhu please." ”

Indeed, after Ning Liang was demoted to this place, he was no longer the original second-grade master, but became a seventh-grade sesame petty official. Hong Yaoshi, as a fish dragon guard thousand households, is a court official of the five grades, and his position is also to investigate cases related to court officials, he wants to put up a fight, Ning Liang really has to help him.

Hong Yaoshi didn't enter the hall either, just walked around the front yard, he walked back and forth around Ning Liang, his eyes were always locked on Ning Liang, and he didn't speak, just looked back and forth. And Ning Liang stood calmly and calmly, with an indifferent expression.

After a while, Pharmacist Hong suddenly asked in a voice like a Hong Zhong: "Ningzhi County, Leng Qianqiu came to Xiangnan to look for you, what is the matter!"

Ning Liang's face did not change and said: "The lower officials think that Leng Qianqiu is not here for the lower officials. ”

Pharmacist Hong laughed fiercely, approached Ning Liang from behind, and said: "The commander sent Xiao Qianhu here to investigate the case of Ning Zhi County being chased and killed by the Jianghu people, and before he could meet Ning Zhi County, he was killed by Leng Qianqiu, if he didn't come for you, why did he come?"

The smell of blood came to his face, but Ning Liang didn't seem to feel it. He was still expressionless, and said: "How can I, a court official, know about the affairs of the people in the rivers and lakes? Xiao Qianhu has never met this official, how can this official know what grievances he has with Leng Qianqiu? Hong Qianhu, there is no need for you to ask this official this kind of meaningless question. ”

"In that case, let's stop beating around the bush. Pharmacist Hong walked up to Ning Liang and said gloomily: "Lord Ning, where did you hide your things?" Say it quickly, after speaking, there will be not so many things, and the poor monk doesn't have to track down Leng Qianqiu anymore, we can all breathe a sigh of relief......

"What nonsense is Hong Qianhu talking about?" Ning Liang raised his eyebrows, "You Yulongwei are investigating those Jianghu people who dare to assassinate the imperial court officials, if Hong Qianhu wants to know who has assassinated this official, this official can make a list for you." Besides, this official really can't think of anything else that Yulongwei wants from me?"

Pharmacist Hong smiled, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Ning Zhi County, don't toast and don't eat and drink." I, Pharmacist Hong, is unreasonable, if you are willing to talk well, I will accompany you to say, if you are sloppy with me, we will not be so polite!"

is another guy who can only kill and torture, and can't use his brain, at most he can only play tricks, and he doesn't know why he has such a big reputation. Ning Liang sighed in his heart, and gradually lost interest in communicating with him.

So, Ning Liang shook his head and said, "Hong Qianhu, do you know why Li Jingzhen didn't dare to personally send the Yulongwei to kill me? Why didn't Cao Fushan dare to make any more moves after demoting me from the capital? Your mind is too simple. , I'm not in the mood to talk to you anymore. ”

Hong Yaoshi's eyes widened, and the green tendons on his bald head burst out, obviously angered by Ning Liang's sudden change in state. As soon as his momentum was lifted, he was about to pounce on Ning Liang, and suddenly a spear next to him poked out and stabbed straight into his throat.

But Pharmacist Hong's martial arts are above Luo's use, this shot is just ordinary in his eyes, I saw him stretch out a hand, and his broad palm grabbed the handle of the spear that stabbed him, and the tip of the spear stopped less than an inch in front of the skin of Pharmacist Hong's neck.

Luo handed the spear vigorously with his right hand, but the spear did not move, and then looked at Pharmacist Hong, who was looking at him with disdain. Luo Yong came up with anger, shouted, held the handle of the gun with both hands, and suddenly lifted it up, Hong Yaoshi was tall and strong, and he was also lifted by Luo Yong like this, and he forcibly raised an inch high, and his feet left the ground.

As soon as people leave the ground, they are unable to get up, and they are easy to fall into passivity. Although Pharmacist Hong's martial arts are high, he doesn't want to be picked in the air in a passive situation, so he had to let go of the spear, and Luo Yong took this opportunity to bully him forward, played a return pistol, and handed the head of the gun again, this time aiming at Pharmacist Hong's chest.

However, although Luo used this trick to take the lead, but there was an extra turn of effort, Hong Yaoshi's speed was one point faster than him, when Luo Yong handed out the spear, he had already taken a step sideways, when Luo used the spear to stab the air, he took a step to the side, slapped out with a palm, hit the barrel of the spear, and suddenly "clicked", and the spear was broken into two.

"No, boy. Hong Yaoshi sneered, and his other hand drew a circle in the air, but he shook up the Buddha beads that were originally hanging on his wrist. With such a flick, the Buddha beads came out of his hand and went into the chest used by Chong Luo. Luo Yong was shocked and held the half of the gun in his hand across his chest to resist, but the Buddha bead was strong and heavy on the gun, and he was not stopped, but pushed the gun and continued to smash it on Luo Yong's chest, smashing him into the air.

Seeing Luo vomiting blood and falling to the ground, Pharmacist Hong stopped caring about him, calmed his face, and walked towards Ning Liang.

Suddenly, Pharmacist Hong hit a spirit.

Because in the very short time that he was fighting with Luo Yong, a person appeared behind Ning Liang at some point. This person appeared silently, and even Pharmacist Hong didn't notice him when he walked towards Ning Liang, until he began to release the momentum on his body, which attracted Pharmacist Hong's attention.

It was a man of about twenty-five or sixteen years of age, of a relatively ordinary appearance, but of an extremely white complexion, with a pair of thick straight eyebrows and a pair of shining eyes. He was wearing a snow-white robe with a short sword pinned to his waist, and he was standing not far behind Ning Liang at this time, looking at Yao Shi Hong with a smile.

This person held one hand on the hilt of the short sword at his waist, and his momentum was like a sharp blade that was about to be unsheathed at any time, which made Hong Yaoshi sense a trace of danger. Seeing this person walking forward and Ning Liang retreating backwards, Hong Yaoshi no longer hesitated, roared loudly, and pounced.

Hong Yaoshi is good at internal strength, one step to jump, the momentum is soaring, he is the authentic Buddhism exercises, although people are a person who kills bloody and bloody, but his exercises are very neutral and peaceful, when Hong Yaoshi handed out a palm, the hideous and murderous aura on his face disappeared, replaced by compassion and mercy.

The man in white sneered and said, "Fake appearance." At the same time, the short sword in his waist was unsheathed, neither advancing nor retreating, but only held it so normally, pointing diagonally in the air.

However, when Yao Shi Hong saw his sword pointing out, his face changed. This sword seems to be plain, but the position is very tricky, right in the most uncomfortable place for him, if Hong Yaoshi continues to finish this palm, the next moment, this short sword will be impartially pierced into his Tanzhong acupoint.

So, he had no choice but to change his tactics. Hong Yaoshi changed his palm into a finger, his body shook, and attacked the man in white from another angle, but the man in white just glanced at him, and then threw his short sword into the air, and once again sealed the route of Hong Yaoshi's attack in advance.

In the next few moves, the two did not fight once, but changed several moves in the air at a very fast speed. If you don't understand, you may think it's ridiculous, as if two people are dancing an ugly dance face to face, but if a master comes here, you will be able to find the subtlety.

Hong Yaoshi's martial arts are not weak, and he can be surprised every time he changes his moves, turning his palms into fingers and fingers into fists, with both hands and feet. But the man in white seemed to have the ability to predict the future, and as soon as Hong Yaoshi changed his move, his sword came out, as if telling Hong Yaoshi: "You come, you are not afraid of death, you will come." ”

Soon, Pharmacist Hong no longer changed his moves, but took two steps back, and said with a calm face: "If you really fight, you may not be my opponent." ”

The man in white lowered his eyelids and sneered, "Then you're coming." Don't you still have a knife on your back, don't you pull it out?"

Pharmacist Hong's throat knuckle rolled a few times, and the green tendons on his bald head jumped. After hesitating for a long time, he finally didn't make another move, but looked at the man in white with a cannibalistic look and asked, "I don't know what to call this hero?"

The man in white put the short sword back into its sheath and said, "Tell you the name, and then wait for you Yulongwei to chase and kill me?" I'm not so stupid, I'm just a passer-by, come to help the county master make soy sauce." If it's okay, get out of here. ”

Rolling in the officialdom, Pharmacist Hong is also a person who can bear grievances. Previously, because of the big support, he had no subordinates, and now he didn't dare to rush forward to fight him to the death because he was afraid of the calculation ability of the man in white, and there was no point in staying at this time. So he hugged the man in white very shamefully, turned around and left.

After the gate of the Ning Mansion was closed, Ning Liang nodded to the man in white and said, "Thank you Brother Ruan for your help." ”

"It's just a matter of effort. The man in white waved his hand and said, "At that time, I came here because the person who asked me to come had my master's token in his hand, although I have not heard his name, but I think it is the apprentice of the master in recent years." It's just that the monk who came today is a very powerful master, and I can only retreat from the enemy by relying on non-attacking swordsmanship, and if I come to a more powerful one, I am not sure. ”

Ning Liang smiled: "Brother Ruan, don't worry." Shonan is a small waterhole that can't accommodate so many big fish. The matter will be over soon, and when this matter is over, Ning will take you to meet again...... You're the same doorman. ”

For this kind of real young master, Ning Liang also gave enough respect. Looking back on the past 20 years, sometimes a strong enough master can also affect the changes in the world to a certain extent. This Ruan Songyu made him see the shadows of some people many years ago.
