Officer Song asked softly, "Shall I go with Gongzi?"

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said: "I'll go alone, you can deal with it here after I leave, I can come back at dawn, if I haven't come back before tomorrow morning, you leave Jiangdu immediately and go to the imperial capital to find Mr." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Song Guanguan wanted to speak and stopped.

Xu Beiyou waved his hand to stop her unspoken words.

Then Xu Beiyou didn't bring anything and went to the house alone.

Fuguifang, Zhangfu.

Zhang Xueyao knelt alone behind a small sandalwood case in the back hall, on which was a pot of freshly brewed Junshan silver needles, and outside the window beside her was a curtain of night rain.

One person, one tea, one light, a curtain of rain into the painting.

It's a good mood.

Footsteps rang out.

Lao Wu took a young man to the outside of the house and knocked on the door.

Zhang Xueyao's fingers trembled slightly, and she said calmly: "Come in." ”

The door was pulled open from the outside, and Lao Wu did not come in, but Xu Beiyou walked into the back hall alone, his boots stained with dried blood and mud rattling on the wooden floor, and at the same time leaving a series of clear footprints behind him.

Zhang Xueyao didn't care, poured another cup of tea, and motioned for Xu Beiyou to sit down.

Xu Beiyou knelt opposite Zhang Xueyao, holding tea but not in a hurry to taste it, and said softly: "Master, Chi Bing is dead." ”

Zhang Xueyao, who had already known the news, looked calm, even if Chi Bing didn't die, she would definitely make him die.

Zhang Xueyao took small sips of tea, and after a cup of tea was drunk, she straightened up and asked, "Beiyou, don't you want to ask me why I did this?"

Xu Beiyou looked down at the clear tea in the cup, and said slowly: "I think it's the word school examination." ”

"It's indeed the word for the school. Zhang Xueyao nodded in agreement and said, "If you are like Qinglian, it's okay, but if you want to support the burden of the Sword Sect, you can't do it without a wrist." ”

Xu Beiyou said in a deep voice: "So Master, you want to see how my wrist is, I don't know what the means of Beiyou will be after tonight?"

Zhang Xueyao smiled very gratefully, "It's not bad." ”

Xu Beiyou suddenly laughed, swept away the solemn atmosphere of Fang Cai, and said, "With the words of my wife, I am really relieved." ”

Zhang Xueyao raised her hand to pour herself tea again, eight points full, and then asked: "Beiyou, have you hated your wife in your heart from now on?"

Xu Beiyou never thought that Zhang Xueyao would ask so directly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only be silent.

In any case, Zhang Xueyao is a character who can be on an equal footing with Gongsun Zhongmou, in terms of cultivation, scheming, wrist, and foundation, they are all far above Xu Beiyou, if it weren't for this, Xu Beiyou would not have run all the way from the northwest to Jiangnan to join his wife, and women have many grudges, and Xu Beiyou doesn't want to have any more branches.

Xu Beiyou didn't speak, Zhang Xueyao didn't care, and continued: "Whether you hold a grudge or not, today you will pass my examination, our Sword Sect has always been based on success or failure, and from tomorrow onwards, the Sword Qi Volley Hall will be yours." ”

Xu Beiyou's heart jumped, the hands on his knees clenched his fists violently, and after taking a deep breath, he tried his best to keep his tone calm and said, "Beiyou thanked my wife." ”

Zhang Xueyao pinched the eight-point full blue glazed white flower teacup with her index finger and thumb, rotated it gently, and said indifferently: "The Sword Qi Lingkong Hall is for you, but whether you can hold it depends on your own ability, as well as the major industries of the Sword Sect, the same is true, I will not ask, and I will not help." ”

"This is not to worry about the wife. Xu Beiyou smiled and said: "Since you have already got it in your hands, there is no reason to let it go easily." ”

Zhang Xueyao snorted, looked at the rain curtain outside and said, "There is a family banquet in the East Lake Courtyard tomorrow night, remember to come over." ”

Xu Beiyou bowed his head.

By the time Xu Beiyou raised his head, Zhang Xueyao had disappeared, leaving only a small case and a tea set that was still smoky on the small case.

Xu Beiyou suddenly remembered that it seemed that every earth immortal master was a little elegant, such as Murong Xuanyin pretending to be a playman, Qin Mumian Fuqin was called a national hand, Qingchen's divination was a last resort, as well as Gongsun Zhongmou's wine, and Zhang Xueyao's tea.

Wine is in love, tea is in ceremony.

Drinking wine is a love word, and drinking tea is a etiquette word.

Looking at the big from the small, so Gongsun Zhongmou is reckless, and travels the world with love and righteousness, no one in the world knows it, compared with it, Zhang Xueyao is much colder, but this is the real way to run a family, the two are one outside and one inside, one hot and one cold, just complement each other.

Xu Beiyou drank all the tea that Zhang Xueyao poured for himself, and then poured himself another cup.

This time, it's nine points full.

——

Xuanyi didn't expect Xu Beiyou to really survive.

Yujia didn't expect Chi Bing to die.

Two did not expect, one result.

Xu Beiyou didn't think about blocking the news, and he couldn't block such a big movement, so Yujia and Xuanyi, who had been watching from the wall, soon learned of this shocking and even shocking news.

It was also the night rain outside the window, but between the two of them, there was no light and light artistic conception like Zhang Xueyao, only the solemnity that was almost suffocating.

After a long time, Yu Jia slowly spoke: "We all underestimate him, who would have thought that he would really kill Chi Bing? Chi Bing's cultivation is clear to you and me, even if the two of us face him, there is no certainty of victory, at most it is only five or five, but Chi Bing died at his hands." ”

Xuanyi hesitated slightly: "Do you think it will be the master's mother's side that made a move?"

"You know the nature of the master's mother, even if Xu Beiyou is her biological son, she will never play this kind of trick. Yujia shook his head and said: "If she really wants to help Xu Beiyou sit firmly in the position of the young master, she will directly open the killing ring, who will dare to disobey the people below? ”

Xuanyi was silent.

"Chi Bing just died. Yu Jia sighed with a bit of melancholy of the rabbit and the fox: "Back then, there were good people who called our first four people the four great sword masters of the Sword Sect, and Chi Bing was regarded by many people as the leader of the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall in the future, but the result was that he said that he would die, which was really unpredictable. ”

Xuanyi turned his head to look at the rain curtain outside, and sighed softly: "Now is not the time for sad spring and autumn, the top priority is how to solve the current dead end, so that you and I can find a way to live, so that we will not become ghosts under other people's swords like Chi Bing, Changxin, Nian Geng, and Ren Chen." ”

Yu Jia was silent for a moment, and said expressionlessly: "What else?" Either bow your head, bend your waist, bend your knees, and survive, or just look away, draw your sword, and move forward, fighting to the death." To live on your knees or to die standing up, which do you choose?"

There was a dead silence in the room.

After a while, the candles in the house had burned out, and it was pitch black.

Outside, the rain was still rustling.

A low, sighing voice came from the darkness, "We're old. ”

These two swordsmen who once dared to follow Gongsun Zhongmou to be born and die, as they grew older, they had already been worn away by comfort and glitz, and they could no longer do a thing that would kill them if they didn't agree with each other, and they would draw their swords and kill people if they drew their swords.

Because of this, they did not dare to rebel blatantly like Chi Bing, they did not dare to draw their swords at the beginning, and now they dare not dare to do so after the dust has settled.

The sword has been in the sheath for a long time, and it is really locked in the sheath.

Since you can't even draw your sword, why are you talking about standing?

——

Around dawn, the rain became a little lighter, turning from a fine curtain of rain to a light rain.

Xu Beiyou walked out of Zhang's mansion covered in dirt, and the soles of his bloodstained boots stepped on the rain, as if he was going to turn bloody in the clear rain.

He was drenched in the rain all the way, and walked back to Ronghuafang step by step from Fuguifang.

The drizzle added to his body, and he couldn't suppress the happiness in Xu Beiyou's heart.

The big husband should be in power, and since the rivers and lakes are a vanity fair, then the gangsters in the rivers and lakes must hold the power even more.

If Xu Beiyou only stepped into the threshold of power with one foot before, then after last night, Xu Beiyou has already received the other foot into the threshold.

This infighting finally ended with Xu Beiyou becoming the master of the Sword Qi Volley Hall.

Jiangdu City is just the beginning, under the glitz and blood, there is a road to the sky.
