The straight avenue leads straight to a majestic bluestone archway, and there are three embossed characters on the high door plaque - Chu Xiangmeng.

The memorial arch is supported by four large stone pillars, on which four lifelike carved dragons are entwined, and a white marble lion squats in front of and behind the pillars.

At this time, dozens of people are gathered in front of the archway, some stand quietly, and some look into the distance, as if waiting for something.

"Look! The leader of the alliance is back! It's time to 'three-fold slope'!" a young man shouted excitedly as he pointed to the distance with sharp eyes.

Everyone followed his direction and stared at him, and sure enough, they saw that there was a black spot under the cliff on the riverside that was approaching;

The galloping horse soon disappeared into the willow forest road in the distance, and disappeared from everyone's sight, only the sound of the horse's hooves was heard.

"What's going on?...... Didn't you catch that kid?"

"No! I saw a man lying on his horse!"

"Yes, I saw that too...... The alliance leader and his old man personally went out to arrest him, and he didn't have it yet?"

......

The crowd whispered.

Among the verdant wickers, the people and horses were faint, and finally, the people and horses wore out of the haze, and appeared clearly in everyone's sight.

There was indeed a person lying on the back of the horse in front of Shangguan Xiong, his body passively jolting with the rhythm of running, but he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Dawan Ma was unusually handsome, and his flying hooves were as fast as lightning, beating on the cobblestone avenue like a drum, and he was in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.

"Huh-" Shangguan Xiong reined in his horse, the lightning suddenly stopped, and the sound of hooves stopped abruptly.

Shangguan Xiong lifted up the man lying on his stomach in front of him, threw it with his hand, and with a "snap", the man fell heavily to the ground, motionless like mud;

"Hmph! Why is it really bitter? I don't want to eat the toast, I want to eat the penalty wine!" In the sneer, Shangguan Xiong jumped off the horse.

The crowd hurried around him, and one of them took the reins.

Bai Zhanhong squeezed in front of him early, and said with a smile: "The alliance leader has worked hard!"

Shangguan Xiong glared at him fiercely, then at Leng Jingtian beside him, snorted heavily, and walked with his head held high. Everyone hurriedly dodged out of the way, and Bai and Leng followed him anxiously.

Shangguan Xiong walked a few steps, suddenly turned around, and sneered: "The big living person can't be caught, the half-dead person should always be able to catch it!"

"Yes! Yes!" Bai Zhanhong understood, hurriedly turned around and picked up Dongfang Zhen, Leng Jingtian picked up the flying ring, and the two quickly caught up with him, following him step by step.

When everyone saw that the alliance leader's face was not good, they all sweated for them, and at the same time, they were afraid of being angry with themselves, so they all followed them from a distance.

"It must have taken a lot of effort to capture this kid!Otherwise, the alliance leader wouldn't be so angry!" someone whispered.

"That's it! Even the White Hall Master, Leng Protector, and Yun Laosan can't catch it, of course this kid's martial arts are very extraordinary!"

"Hmph, no matter how many hundred and eight thousand miles you can fight, you can't escape the palm of our alliance leader!"

......

The crowd chirped. Shangguan Xiong didn't seem to hear it.

"How is the eldest lady?" Shangguan Xiong asked softly without looking back.

"I'm home early. Bai Zhanhong said in a low voice: "Along the way, the eldest lady is very lost and sad. ...... Alliance leader, do you want to tell the eldest lady......"

"No!" Shangguan Xiong interrupted him and said softly: "Tell me to go down, this matter must not be told to the eldest lady...... When the time comes, the leader of this alliance will tell her personally. ”

"Yes. ”

Shangguan Xiong turned around and said loudly: "Hold this person in the Fox Pavilion and send someone to guard it day and night." No one is allowed to approach without the permission of the leader of this alliance!"

Everyone said "yes".

Shangguan Xiong stared at Bai Zhanhong, and said softly: "Remember my words!" and then said loudly: "There are Lao guys! I'm leaving!"

Everyone watched Shangguan Xiong walk away, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

A winding path leads to a lonely two-story stone building, which looks even lower and lower under the cliff, like an old turtle cowering down. A rusty heavy iron door is closed, and a plaque hangs above it, which reads "The Pavilion of the Fox".

Leng Jingtian opened his mouth and motioned to a subordinate next to him to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a musty smell suddenly gushed out, and I entered the house, but I saw that the house was full of dust and cobwebs, and it was obvious that no one had lived in it for a long time.

Bai Zhanhong threw Dongfang Zhen on the ground and sneered: "The meridians are all wasted, stay honestly!"

Dongfang Zhen fell on his back, his head hit the floor heavily, he groaned in pain at the moment, and glared at Bai Zhanhong angrily.

Bai Zhanhong kicked him and scolded: "The alliance leader is kind-hearted, but he just abolished you, which is cheap for you kid! If it was Lao Tzu, he would have killed you earlier!"

Dongfang Zhen spat out with a "poof", but the strength was very weak, only spitting to his waist and falling down, just on top of his boots.

"Stinky boy, look for death!" Bai Zhanhong's face turned sallow with anger, and he kicked a few times fiercely, but was stopped by Leng Jingtian.

"Big Brother Bai, don't do this!

Bai Zhanhong took his feet hatefully, and said angrily: "Let's go!"

When everyone left the Fierce Pavilion, Bai Zhanhong personally locked the door, handed over the key to a safe subordinate, and asked him to lead the five brothers to guard it day and night.

※※※

Two days later, in the early morning, when the fiery morning sun broke free from the top of the distant mountain, two figures appeared on the other side of the path.

Amid the chirping of birds, the two of them slowly paced along the path of the ancient wooden arch guard.

"Alliance leader, why don't you just kill that kid?" Ma Mingshan shook the broken pu fan lightly and tilted his head to look at Shangguan Xiong.

"It's better not to kill unless you have to!" Shangguan Xiong said lightly.

"Yes...... This kid knows a little more!"

"Not much...... The imperial court has no plan to deal with Kunlun, so it's better to have fewer strong enemies!"

"Yes. Ma Mingshan bowed, "Alliance leader, is it just like this?"

"No!" Shangguan Xiong waved his hand, "There is no impermeable wall in the world, and sooner or later it will always get out." ”

Ma Mingshan thought for a while and asked softly, "Alliance leader, do you want to send it away?"

"Yes, send it back to Kunlun!"

"This ......" Ma Mingshan's eyes flashed, "Although this kid is gone, but after all, he is not dead, and he is not dumb, won't he tell them Kunlun, it is our ......?"

"Hmph!" Shangguan Xiong understood what he meant, waved his hand to interrupt him, and said coldly: "Don't worry, he doesn't have that chance!"

Ma Mingshan glanced at him suspiciously, and suddenly smiled: "Oh, borrow a knife to kill...... High! Alliance leader, your move is really high!"

Shangguan Xiong sneered.

Ma Mingshan put away his smile and frowned: "There is still a layer of worry for the subordinates: the final result, although it will still be except for this kid, can it ...... After all, we've taken people in. ...... With Miao-sama's means, it is inevitable that he will still know......"

"I know what you mean. Shangguan Xiong smiled and said, "I really know, I will explain it to Master Miao." ”

"How do you explain it?"

Shangguan Xiong squinted his eyes and said, "When we were taken in, weren't we fighting outside? I didn't know about this at all...... When I came back, as soon as I found out the identity of the kid, I immediately sent him away!"

"Yes...... After all, we didn't kill him!"

"Hehe, Miao-sama is a smart person and will understand my intentions. ...... Master Ma, do you say yes?"

"Well, that's fine!" Ma Mingshan nodded, although his tone was a little disapproving, but he had to obey helplessly.

"The facts in the future will prove that the decision of the leader of this alliance is very wise!" Shangguan Xiong heard what he meant, clasped his arms to his chest, and said confidently.

While talking, the two of them arrived in front of the Vicious Pavilion. The six guards came up early and respectfully greeted them with courtesy.

"Open!" Shangguan Xiong commanded.

Dongfang Zhen's face was haggard, and he sat listlessly on the dry straw, leaning against the corner of the wall.

"How many meals have you eaten?" Shangguan Xiong glanced at him and turned to ask the leading subordinate beside him.

"Alliance Master: This kid is stubborn and won't eat a bite!" the subordinate said indignantly.

"Ha! Interesting!" Ma Mingshan squatted down, stared into his eyes and sneered: "Xue Boyi, Shuqi, 'I'd rather die than eat Zhou Li'?"

Dongfang Zhen glared at him contemptuously and turned his head away.

"Dongfang Zhen, listen: the leader of this alliance has decided to let you go!" Shangguan Xiong said suddenly.

Dongfang Zhen Huo Ran raised his head and looked at him with an expression that couldn't believe his ears.

"You can go now!" Shangguan Xiong emphasized.

Dongfang looked at him blankly for a while, and said coldly: "I'm not leaving!"

"Not leaving?" Shangguan Xiong laughed, "Didn't you rush to leave that day? Why didn't you leave again?"

Dongfang Zhen was so excited that the green tendons on his forehead suddenly protruded, and he got up with a bone, his eyes were red, and his hands were slammed into Shangguan Xiong's neck.

"Get out of here!" Shangguan Xiong waved lightly, his movements as gentle as swinging away a nasty mosquito, and Dongfang Zhen fell on his back.

"Shangguan Xiong, kill me!" Dongfang screamed.

"Kill you?" ha, we have no grudges and no hatred, why should I kill you?" Shangguan Xiong sneered.

"Shangguan Xiong! you are so vicious...... Damn, you can't die well......" Dongfang Zhen scolded.

"Dog, I'm tired of it!" a subordinate was furious, pulled out his saber with a "clang", and made a gesture to slash down, but was stopped by Shangguan Xiong. The subordinate had no anger to vent, and a "dong" kick was on his lower abdomen.

Dongfang shrank into a ball of pain, and after convulsions for a long time, he suddenly covered his face with his hands and whimpered, "Why do you let me suffer so much...... If you abolished me, why don't you just kill me......"

"Hey," Shangguan Xiong sighed helplessly, and said slowly: "Dongfang Shaoxia, to tell the truth, the leader of this alliance cherishes you very much, so he didn't want to hurt you?......! You should understand this truth: how can you control so much when the masters fight for their lives? In order to protect themselves, the leader of this alliance will inevitably lose an inch when he makes a move......

"My skills are not as good as others, I Dongfang Zhen has nothing to say!" Dongfang Zhen glared at him angrily and said sharply: "Shangguan Xiong, I am very grateful for saving my life, but when I don't want to join you, you will abolish my martial arts......!" What kind of hero are you for such despicable acts, and how can you be the suzerain?......

"Hmph, what kind of person is the leader of this alliance, you kid is not qualified to comment!" Shangguan Xiong had a cold face and said sharply: "I ask you again: Do you get out immediately, or die?!"

Dongfang Zhen closed his eyes, tears slid down his cheeks, and said slowly: "Kill me!"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Shangguan Xiong's mouth, and he suddenly shot out like the wind, sealing him three key points in a row;

"Kill, or not, it's not your kid's turn to decide!" Shangguan Xiong sneered, turned his head and ordered the leading subordinates: "Go, call Yun Xiangjie!"

After a short time, Yun Xiangjie hurried over with his subordinates.

"Prepare a carriage and send this person back to Kunlun Mountain!" Shangguan Xiong pointed to Dongfang Zhen who was lying in the corner, "Take a few brothers with good skills and protect them along the way." ”

Yun Xiangjie glanced at Dongfang Zhen with a somewhat complicated expression, nodded and said, "Yes." After saying that, he left in a hurry.

"Master Ma, let's go. Shangguan Xiong turned around and walked out of the gate with his head held high. Ma Mingshan looked at Dongfang Zhen on the ground, shook his head, and followed him out of the door.

"It's a pity! this kid is really a man!" Ma Mingshan muttered to himself.

"Who says it's not?" Shangguan Xiong sighed, "But martial arts are useless!"

Shangguan Xiong looked at Yun Xiangjie's back and suddenly shouted, "Yun Xiangjie!"

Yun Xiangjie quickly turned back and asked in a low voice, "Alliance leader, what else do you have to order?"

"Do you know how to protect that kid?"

Yun Xiangjie was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Please make it clear to the alliance leader." ”

Shangguan Xiong quickly glanced around left and right, and said in a low voice: "Halfway, look for an opportunity to throw him away!"

"Throw it away?" Yun Xiangjie was even more puzzled, and looked at Shangguan Xiong in surprise.

Shangguan Xiong glanced at Ma Mingshan and smiled silently.

Ma Mingshan understood and hurriedly explained: "What the alliance leader means: Halfway through, you have to find a suitable opportunity to deliberately expose the identity of that kid. ”

"This ......" Yun Xiangjie wanted to ask why, but his years of experience in helping the middle of the school made him extremely sophisticated, and he knew very well what to ask and what not to ask, so he held back and just asked: "What kind of opportunity are you looking for?"

"It's better to expose it to the government. Ma Mingshan stared into his eyes and said softly.

Yun Xiangjie nodded thoughtfully.

"Understood?" Ma Mingshan was afraid that he didn't really understand, so he asked to confirm.

"Understood. Yun Xiangjie's eyes flashed, and he said: "The subordinate plan, we will find an appropriate time to deliberately expose it when we pass the level." ...... Strategist, is that all right?"

"Good. Ma Mingshan nodded with satisfaction and advised: "Remember: be sure to act realistically!"

"Subordinates will take care of it!" Yun Xiangjie said.

"One more point," Shangguan Xiong interjected and added, "Don't reveal your identity!"
