Chapter 391: Watching from the Sidelines

Duxiaoqiong has been watching this farce of brothers beating each other coldly.

It wasn't because the position where they had the dispute was close to him, the Red Sun Sect Master, but because there was something in the content of the dispute that really interested him.

In particular, the senior brother's Han Bing's style of play consumes a lot of internal strength, and the senior brother retorted that Han Bing did not show the slightest lack of internal strength at all.

In fact, Duxiaoqiong himself is completely consistent with their views.

So after hearing their dispute, he suddenly realized that even he, a peerless master, couldn't determine who was right and who was wrong between the two brothers, let alone explain what this competition was all about!

In fact, at the beginning, the real purpose of Duxiaoqiong to watch this competition was not to witness the results of the two sides of the competition, but just to be alone.

Yesterday, the Queen Mother summoned him into the palace and issued a secret decree to him. There are two main points in the content of this secret decree -

First, it is to ensure that Han Bing will not be attacked and killed in public by the people of the Dark Guard Division after the competition is over.

The second is to attack and kill Han Bing in the dark after he leaves the overpass and is out of everyone's sight.

In order to complete the two things assigned by the Queen Mother, Duxiao Qiong had ordered his disciple Gongyu Sarong to lead dozens of Chiyang Sect masters to hide somewhere near the overpass, waiting for the instructions given by him, the sect leader, at any time to besiege and kill Han Bing.

And Duxiaoqiong himself came to the scene of the competition.

His original plan was to use the power of the Wedding Dress's Divine Skill to identify the killers sent by his other disciple, Gongyu Sayan, to deal with the cold ice one by one from the crowd.

But the results came as a surprise to him.

Although among those spectators, there are indeed hidden people of the Dark Guard, but it is obvious that the strength of these secret guards is far from enough to deal with the cold ice.

It seems that Gongyu Sayan should have made other arrangements and did not really use the manpower in the Dark Guard Division.

Indeed, he was extremely shrewd in doing so.

First, it can prevent the assassins who attacked the ice from being identified in advance, resulting in the assassination being stillborn, or being obstructed and destroyed in the process.

Second, no matter whether the final action is successful or not, it can prevent being tracked down afterwards, according to the map, and then involving him, the head of the general director.

As soon as he thought of his own insidious and cunning pro-disciple with an improper heart, Duxiaoqiong only felt a breath of anger blocked in his chest, but he couldn't vent it happily.

It is likely that this time, he still can't catch any of Gong Yu's sore feet, and he can completely clean up this rebel.

But thinking about it on the other hand, maybe this time the people of Gongyu Sassa can really succeed and kill Han Bing on the spot, but they will not leave any handle that can be traced down to prove that the prince of Yuguo died under the plot of Rong Guo.

In this way, wouldn't it save the Queen Mother and him, the Chiyang Sect Master, a lot of trouble?

After suddenly figuring this out, Duxiao Qiong put aside the matter of finding the killer sent by Gongyu Sayan, and instead focused all his attention on Han Bing.

The reason why he paid so much attention to Han Bing was not only because he had regarded him as his lifelong opponent, but also because the Queen Mother and himself had great doubts about the true identity of this young man.

After learning that Zuo Yusong, the deputy leader of the Loyalty League, died under the parting arrow, Du Xiaoqiong's heart was already convinced that the murderer must be the one who rescued Ling Qiyu, and at the same time, the little bastard who pulled out the autumn ginger flowers he had planted with his hard work outside the Jinmen Pass!

But who that man really is has always been an unsolved mystery.

When Gongyu returned to Darong and talked about his experience in Yuguo, he mentioned that Han Bing was probably Ling Qiyu's accomplice.

In an instant, Duxiaoqiong had a kind of abruptness, and the cold ice should be the other parting arrow!

However, Gongyu Sayan's next words completely denied his idea-

After Han Bing drank three cups of poisoned wine mixed with Heavenly Poison in succession, he was still able to make trouble everywhere on the second day.

This is enough to prove that Han Bing is not a hermit at all.

If you are not a hermit, you will definitely not be a parting arrow.

But for some reason, Duxiaoqiong still faintly felt that there might be other twists and turns in this.

Maybe Han Bing, a cunning boy, did some trick at that time, but in fact, he didn't really drink the poisoned wine, but he deceived everyone by it. In fact, he is a hermit, and at the same time a parting arrow.

Although the Queen Mother has a strict order, whether Han Bing is a hermit or not, and whether he is a parting arrow or not, he must be secretly removed as soon as possible after this competition.

But Duxiaoqiong still couldn't help but want to confirm a certain guess in his heart first, so as to solve the unsolved mystery that had been bothering him.

So today, he deliberately chose a location very close to the overpass, and listened attentively to the conversation between Han Bing and Shen Yunpeng.

Although Han Bing only said one sentence in the end, it was enough for Duxiao Qiong to hear it very clearly, and it was enough for him to confirm that this cold Bing's voice was completely different from the voice of the young man he heard outside the Jinmen Pass back then.

Could it be that he really thinks too much?

Or, the person who rescued Ling Qiyu and the person outside the Jinmen Pass are basically two people?

Perhaps, in addition to Ling Qiyu, there are two parting arrows? And Han Bing is just one of them?

It's a pity that at the beginning of the Jinmen Pass, the solitary smile in the military tent was always separated from the parting arrow by a curtain, and only heard its voice, but did not see its person.

And on the barren ridge outside Xiangzhou City, in a hurry, Duxiaoqiong couldn't see the figure of the masked man who suddenly appeared to save Ling Qiyu.

Since it was impossible to judge from the voice and figure, Duxiaoqiong's only hope at this time was whether he could find some traces of the parting arrow from the cold ice's shot.

However, after carefully observing Han Bing's shot, Duxiao Qiong immediately came to a conclusion that this young man was indeed not a parting arrow.

Because, he, the leader of the Chiyang Sect, had seen the powerful power of the parting arrow's domineering overflow, so he naturally knew that this kind of martial arts was completely masculine.

And judging from the skills that Han Bing is currently showing, he is more than light and not calm, which shows that his internal strength is taking a feminine path.

However, even if he was sure that Han Bing was not a parting arrow, Duxiao Qiong could still easily see that his martial arts were definitely above Shen Yunpeng.

But in this way, what the young man was doing on the overpass at the moment made Duxiaoqiong feel a little confused.

As early as the beginning of the competition, when he saw that Han Bing actually used a short sword to deal with Shen Yunpeng, Du Xiaoqiong's heart couldn't help but have a burst of doubts.

Although he had heard it a long time ago, the Ice Blade was indeed a short sword that he carried with him. However, based on his peerless master's assessment of the strength of Han Bing and Shen Yunpeng, this young man should be able to kill Shen Yunpeng with his sword with his bare hands within two hundred moves.

Today, Han Bing used his sword to deal with Shen Yunpeng with his bare hands. Was it because he was in a hurry to take out the Archon, or was there some other purpose?

Duxiaoqiong's question was quickly answered.

The cold ice with the sword in his hand was almost within two moves, and he was forced to fall under the bridge by Shen Yunpeng.

But then when the young man flew under the bridge, the subtle body he showed fully proved that the so-called fall from the bridge that happened earlier was definitely a deliberate illusion made by him.

If the purpose of his illusion was to confuse the other party, so that he could take the opportunity to flip out of the bridge on the other side, and then launch a surprise and fatal blow to Shen Yunpeng, it would be a clever trick.

But it's a pity that it was obviously a wonderful killing move, but it was dragged by the cold ice, so that he missed the opportunity, and was actually avoided by Shen Yunpeng in time without danger.

And then, the seemingly incomparably fierce fight between the two made Du Xiaoqiong frown.

Because with his peerless master's eyesight, he could naturally easily see that Han Bing didn't use all his strength at all.

This young man is like a butterfly wearing flowers, and the flashy attacks launched around Shen Yunpeng are completely a very hard-working fake performance.

And his performance really made those unknown spectators mistakenly think that the two people on the bridge were engaged in a fierce fight on the line of life and death.

But Duxiaoqiong has thoroughly understood that this so-called life-and-death battle must be a game set up by Han Bing. And his real target is not Shen Yunpeng at all.

In fact, Duxiaoqiong had already learned from the Queen Mother that Han Bing had promised not to take Shen Yunpeng's life in this competition.

But even so, he could easily injure Shen Yunpeng or shoot him directly under the bridge. No matter how you look at it, there is absolutely no need for such a hard work show that has no practical significance.

And with Han Bing's cleverness and cunning, he naturally would not do such a thankless thing.

Therefore, he must have other intentions in this move.

Inexplicably, Duxiao Qiong suddenly had a very bad premonition, and by the time he really figured out what Han Bing was trying to do, it would probably be too late!

And what happened next seemed to be to confirm that his premonition of the sect leader was extremely effective-

When he was so caught up in the quarrel and fight between the two stupid and ridiculous brothers that he had been following them that he cast his gaze on the face of the man who had just appeared and stopped them with a loud shout, for a moment, as if he had been enlightened, Duxiao suddenly knew the answer to the question that had been bothering him.

But, as he had predicted, it was too late!
