Shang Xiaotian's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Qu Feng, please tell me the conversation between Teng Protector and Chu Qian, word for word!" Seeing everyone standing aside, he beckoned: "Don't leave yet!"

Xie Feiyan and the others turned around and sat down in their respective seats.

Qu Feng said: "At the wine feast, Xiao Chu praised Teng Protector's meteor hammer kung fu for being extremely powerful, and in the Chu Xiang Alliance, except for Shangguan Xiong, no one is invincible. But Teng Protector said that Xiao Chu praised him, saying that in the Chu Xiang League, Shangguan Xiong was not the only one whose martial arts were above him. Xiao Chu said that Teng Protector was modest, and although the other four protectors were extraordinary, it was not necessarily ...... to say who was stronger in martial arts than him."

"Yes, Xiao Chu is by no means a false praise, Teng Haiming's kung fu of 'Flying Star Hatred' is indeed very good...... Looking at the entire Chu Xiang League, the only one who can defeat him is indeed Shangguan Xiong!" Fan Wei interjected.

"Third Brother Fan is right...... The strange thing is that, as far as I know, that Teng Haiming is also a proud and conceited person, if it were not the truth, how could he be willing to be so self-deprecating?" Chai Jing said suspiciously.

Qu Feng said: "Xiao Chu was also so puzzled, so he asked him to give a few examples, and he was convinced if he said that it was true." At that time, Teng Haiming was already eight points drunk, so he said: Any one of the 'Four Hidden Dragons' is beyond his ability to do martial arts. ”

"'Four Hidden Dragons', why haven't I heard of it before?" Shang Xiaotian was very surprised, "Listening to Teng Haiming's tone, their martial arts are still above the five great protectors!" Everyone nodded.

Xie Feiyan said: "Landlord, these 'four hidden dragons' should refer to four people, right?"

Shang Xiaotian nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "If Teng Haiming's words are true, these four people should be the masters of Shangguan Xiong's secret take-in, and maybe only a few people in the Chu Xiang Alliance know this secret...... Shangguan Xiong, you are ruthless! There is such a ruthless trick...... What happened to the genre?"

Qu Feng said: "Xiao Chu was also shocked after hearing this, so he asked him who the 'Four Hidden Dragons' were, at this moment, the 'Cold Sword Flooding the Sky' Leng Jingtian Protector coughed lightly, Teng Haiming suddenly saved, with Xiao Chu's status, he should not let him know about this. Later, no matter how Xiao Chu asked, he no longer confided. These days, Xiao Chu has been secretly observing, preparing to find out the person suspected of being the 'Four Hidden Dragons', but he has not found anything. He estimated that the 'Four Hidden Dragons' were likely to be hidden among ordinary gangs, and there were too many people in the Chu Xiang League to identify them one by one, and then find out. ”

"If you can't ask, forget it!" Shang Xiaotian's eyes flashed, "Let Xiao Chu be careful, don't make people suspicious!"

"Yes, landlord, that's what I always tell him. "The style of music is right.

"Do you remember why the 'Qinglong Hall' was renamed 'Aoki Hall'?" Shang Xiaotian stared at Qu Feng and suddenly asked.

Qu Feng was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why he had such a question, and replied: "Of course I remember, back then, the 'Qinglong Hall' produced Li Qinglong's damned traitor, which caused heavy casualties to the brothers in the gang! ”

"You have to have this string in your head at any time," Shang Xiaotian glanced at everyone one by one, "Since there are our people in the Chuxiang Alliance, An Neng guarantees that there will be no second Li Qinglong in our Yueyang Tower?...... Therefore, you must always be vigilant and be measured in what you should say and what you should not say...... Don't be like that Teng Haiming, who almost leaked their secrets. ”

Everyone nodded their heads.

"Assuming Teng Haiming's words are true, everyone will guess and guess, who may these 'Four Hidden Dragons' be?" Shang Xiaotian commanded.

Everyone knotted their eyebrows and looked sideways in thought.

"Can make Teng Haiming sigh to himself, the high martial arts of these four people can be imagined. Shang Xiaotian reminded: "Such a master, he should not be a nobody in the rivers and lakes." We might as well list the masters in the rivers and lakes one by one, and then check them one by one, I believe we can find out a rough ...... Fangzhong, let your people go and get paper and pen!"

Su Fang ordered several of his subordinates to handle it, and quickly put a large blank piece of paper and pen and ink in front of everyone. Everyone pondered as if they were doing a test, and wrote on a blank piece of paper.

Shang Xiaotian walked behind everyone with his hands behind his back like an examiner, reading the answers they had written.

"Master Youtang, sects like Shaolin and Kunlun, there is no need to list the masters under the sect. Shang Xiaotian was standing behind You Yuanjiang at this time, and saw that in addition to the Wudang faction, he listed fifty or sixty masters of the Shaolin, Emei, Kunlun, Wutai, Huashan, Quanzhen, Hengshan, Diancang and other factions in one go, and corrected, "The heads and elders of these famous factions can be higher than that Teng Haiming in martial arts, but how can they be sent by that Shangguan Xiong? You should list those masters in the underworld, or those who are both righteous and evil." ”

The rest of the people wrote about these sect masters, and they hurriedly picked up their pens and deleted them. Xie Feiyan didn't know martial arts, and he didn't know the martial arts of these martial arts figures, so he didn't mention the pen, but just sat quietly. Qu Feng sat next to her, thinking about it while writing crookedly.

Xie Feiyan frowned and glanced at Qu Feng's answer sheet, and when she saw the earthworm-like font, she sighed secretly in her heart: People are quite energetic, and they can write Braille...... Hey, I don't know how to do it! How can I be in the company of such a person? What a shame!

Everyone wrote for a while, and gradually stopped writing.

Shang Xiaotian smiled and said, "It's all written?" Seeing that everyone nodded, he ordered: "Fang Zhong, take what everyone wrote and show it to me." ”

Su Fangzhong quickly accepted everyone's answer sheets and respectfully presented them to the table in front of Shang Xiaotian.

Shang Xiaotian quickly looked at everyone's answer sheets one by one, and while groaning, he picked up a pen and wrote on these answer sheets.

And the people stood up, and went round up, and saw that he had crossed out the names of twenty or thirty men in one breath.

Qu Feng saw that Shang Xiaotian crossed out the "Dou Xingkong" and "Yao Yuan" that he had written, and said unconvinced: "Landlord, why do you want to exclude these two people? Aren't these two people's martial arts stronger than their five protectors?"

"It stands to reason that Dou Xingkong, the 'Night Thief of a Thousand Families', is a giant thief in the rivers and lakes, and his martial arts are extremely high, and he actually stole the treasures of the Nangong family and absconded safely; These two are the most likely. But I know it's not these two!"

"Why?" Qu Feng stared at Shang Xiaotian puzzled, seeing that he smiled mysteriously at him, but did not answer himself, he did not dare to ask any more.

Most of the names of the five people's answer sheets were crossed out by Shang Xiaotian, and finally these names were left: Li Fei, Shu Hanguang, Deng Chaoran, Wu Shaoyuan, Bai Zhanhong, Murong Su, and Naturalized Cheng.

"Landlord, do you think the 'Four Hidden Dragons' are likely to be born among these people?" Xie Feiyan stared at Shang Xiaotian and asked.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, every day, there are new masters rising, and at the same time, there are famous masters falling! These famous masters are too numerous to mention, not to mention that there are so many nameless lonely masters!" Shang Xiaotian said leisurely, "The people they list are just the non-righteous martial arts masters they know who have been famous in recent years......"

Speaking of this, he dipped it in ink again, and muttered to himself: "'The world's first knife' Li Fei has a noble character, and the omission crossed out the ...... 'Wuyi Quick Knife' Shu Hanguang is arrogant, and it is unlikely that he will live under the fence...... Deng Chaoran of the Hainan Sword Sect and Wu Shaoyuan of the Songshan Sword Sect should also be unlikely...... Bai Zhanhong, the master of the Divine Sword Hall, and Murong Xu of the Murong family, are both good and evil, and it is possible that they are ...... Iron Fist Gate naturalized into integrity and kindness, it should not be. ”

While speaking, only the names of Bai Zhanhong and Murong Su were left. Fan Wei, Chai Jing, You Yuanjiang, and Su Fangzhong shook their heads dejectedly when they saw that all the names they listed were crossed out. Qu Feng saw that there were only two left in his list, and smiled proudly at the four of them.

"I still think of a few people!" Shang Xiaotian said as he wrote down the names of 'Yu Huantie', 'Wu Yiyun', and 'Fu Zhuoyuan'.

"Landlord, are you saying that these three people are likely to be?" Xie Feiyan asked tentatively.

"Maybe there is, maybe not. Shang Xiaotian explained: "'Cangshan Swordsman' Yu Huantie, when he was in his twenties, he dominated the southwest with one phantom swordsmanship, and even the senior brother in charge admired him very much, saying that he was a martial arts wizard, and his future achievements were limitless...... Who knows, ten years ago, he suddenly disappeared...... Putuo Wu Yiyun, before the age of eighteen, defeated many martial arts masters with one hand of the Thousand Leaves Guanyin Palm, but four years ago, he suddenly became a desperate ...... Hainan Penglai Pavilion Fu Zhuoyuan Gongzi, it is said that the 'Silent Annihilation Knife Technique' is superb, but because he rarely walks around in the Central Plains martial arts, there are very few people who have seen his sword technique. However, I heard that he had competed with Li Fei, the 'first knife in the world', and although he was defeated, Li Fei once praised him for being stronger than when he was young......"

"It's really possible for these people!" Qu Feng echoed, "If it's really them, then the strength of the Chu Xiang Alliance is too terrifying...... However, landlord, these three people are all decent people, so they shouldn't be bought by Shangguan Xiong!"

"Hmph, haven't you seen Shangguan Xiong in person! With his sharp mouth and means, what is impossible?" Shang Xiaotian sneered: "What's more, these three people were all sharp when they were young, how could their personalities be people who were willing to be lonely? They are likely to be bought by Shangguan Xiong and used as shadows, waiting for a good opportunity to reappear in the rivers and lakes to meet their long-cherished wish to realize their ambitions!"

The four hall masters knew that the building master was very accurate, so their faces became solemn.

"Disappeared?" Xie Feiyan muttered to herself, she didn't listen carefully to the conversation between Shang Xiaotian and Qu Feng, and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Landlord, do you think that cheating death is the best way to disappear?"

Shang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly clapped his hands and said happily: "That's right! Why didn't I think about this? If this is the case, secretly joining the Chu Xiang Alliance, it is really unknowing, and the ghost is unaware...... Let's check the masters who have been rumored to be dead in the rivers and lakes in recent years, let's start from twenty years ago!"

Everyone recalled together and listed more than 20 names, most of which were denied by Shang Xiaotian because he thought that his martial arts were not high enough, and finally left these few:

Miao Qinggang: The leader of the Juntian Sect, twenty-one years ago, he conspired to develop the sect, robbed the imperial court of military salaries, grain and grass, and gathered people to rebel in Yunnan. Later, it was exterminated by the Yunnan Dusi, Miao Qinggang died, and Juntianjiao died.

Ouyang Chong: The master of the Ouyang family, fourteen years ago, in order to seize the property of Fengchi Villa, he killed the owner Xiong Hao and sixty-seven people in the house. Because Xiong Hao was a Shaolin disciple, Shaolin sent a master to find out the truth and hunt him down, and died at the Fengling Ferry by the Yellow River.

Yun Can: The leader of the Tianlong Gang, thirty years ago, conspiracy to rob the treasure seized from the Tang Gate, sixteen years ago, was found out by the six doors and the righteous people of the martial arts, and chased him and the chief protector Tian Kunpeng to death, although the treasure was not seized, but the Tianlong Gang was destroyed.

Xi Fenglie: Nine years ago, he assassinated Sun Qingtu, the master of Wanma Hall. Because Sun was a disciple of Huashan, Huashan sent a master to shoot him off the cliff and die.

Shang Xiaotian stared at the names of these four people and asked, "Master Xie, if these four people are still alive, which ones will you take in?"

"This ......," Xie Feiyan muttered, "Miao Qinggang's crime is too big to be taken in...... As for the other three, Shangguan was bold and dared to take them in. ”

"Chief Xie's words are very reasonable!" Shang Xiaotian nodded and said, "Let me summarize: Bai Zhanhong, Murong Su, Yu Huantie, Wu Yiyun, Fu Zhuoyuan, Ouyang Chong, Yun Can, Xi Fenglie...... And Tian Kunpeng, among these nine people, it is very likely that there are people from the 'Four Hidden Dragons'!"

In fact, Shang Xiaotian didn't expect that the four hidden dragons were really all in this list.

※※※

"Hmph, Shangguan Xiong, don't think that you have a shadow!" Shang Xiaotian abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, and while walking on Junshan Island, he secretly thought in his heart.

"Yueyang Tower is forbidden to enter the forbidden land!" This is the resting place of the gang members of the gang after their sacrifices, and no one is allowed to enter without the permission of the landlord.

Only his henchman Su Fangzhong brought sacrificial items to the island from time to time, and the rest of the gang never dared to come up privately.

After Shang Xiaotian passed by several heavy graves, he gently pushed the belly-length barren grass while walking slowly along the path. When you arrive at a quiet mountain pass, there is a small and elegant bamboo house hidden in the green trees, and there is actually a bamboo fence courtyard in front of the bamboo house.

Shang Xiaotian walked lightly past the flowers and trees beside the house, gently pushed the hidden firewood, and entered the fragrant bamboo fence courtyard full of courtyards, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a voice like a broken gong: "Master Yao, over the years, you and I can only stay at home, we have to be inseparable, you look down on me so much, I think I am really wronged!"

Shang Xiaotian's heart moved, swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and stopped listening quietly.

"I, Yao Yuan, don't look down on your martial arts," said a clear old man's voice, "I just look down on your thief's behavior! A man with hands and feet and a strong body should not do anything? He has to do that act of theft! Who can despise this kind of unearned behavior?"

Dou Xingkong laughed and said proudly: "Master Yao, you don't understand this! Stealing rare treasures is my Dou Mou's greatest hobby in his life! If there is a treasure that I have taken a fancy to, but I can't get my hands on it, I can't eat, I can't sleep, and I will be tormented to death! You say, if you don't get it, won't you harm your own life?"

Yao Yuan sneered: "It's just that you have thought about it: wouldn't it be a shame to your ancestors to act like this?

"Hahaha!" Breaking Gong laughed loudly, "This is not to worry about the master of Yao Dadart! Brother's craft is handed down from my ancestors! How can my ancestors be ashamed that my ancestors have not had time to be proud of my descendants who have carried forward the ancestral skills of stealing?"

"Phew!Phew!Phew!" Yao Yuan disdained, "The thief's nature is hard to change! Tian is shameless! I think that I Yao is diligent and upright, but my life has been ruined at the hands of thieves like you...... Hey, I wonder what happened to my old woman and my miserable children?"

"Are you aggrieved!" Dou Xingkong said hatefully: "I want me Dou Xingkong to be alone for the first half of my life, crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, how carefree! In the past ten years, I have been trapped here, and it is difficult to move an inch! If it weren't for the fact that a companion with similar martial arts like Brother Yao often competed with each other, the rivers and lakes would have been a sea of swords and fires, and I, Dou someone, would have long since ignored it! Killing him vigorously is better than hiding without dying like this, ten thousand times more happy!"

"Brother Dou has said so much, it's just that this is a human saying!" Yao Yuan sighed and said, "Your mind is the same as mine!"

"I wonder how my son is doing now?" Dou Xingkong sighed dejectedly, "For so many years, without my guidance, presumably martial arts and theft skills are not much higher! Hey, Dou is really ashamed of his ancestors!"

"Hmph, don't be ashamed!" Yao Yuan sneered, "Do you think your martial arts and stealing skills are so good? Back then, you were afraid of the prestige of my Sanxiang Dart Federation, and you didn't dare to come to my territory to spread wild! Otherwise, I would have taken it down a long time ago!"

Dou Xingkong said excitedly: "Okay! Let's compare again! You still hide, I steal, this time, I have to win you...... By the way, what are you hiding?"

Yao Yuan said coldly: "Look at it, it's this little wooden spoon!"

When Shang Xiaotian heard this, he laughed and walked into the wooden house.

An old man in his sixties who was clear in Ge Yi was holding a small wooden spoon in his hand, and looked sideways at Shang Xiaotian who was smiling awkwardly. Opposite him was a tall and thin old man dressed in black, about fifty-six or seventeen years old, with a long lanky horse's face covered with pimples and a rosacea. These two people are naturally 'Night Thieves Thousand Families' Dou Xingkong and 'Zhen Sanxiang' Yao Yuan.

Shang Xiaotian smiled as he walked: "I'm disturbing the two of you Yaxing! Shang is here, he has something important, and he wants to ask the two of them for help!"

The second elder was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was busy surrounding Shang Xiaotian, and Dou Xingkong shouted: "The owner of the merchant building should quickly give orders! Even if you go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, Dou will never frown!"

It must be known that after Yao Yuandong hid in Tibet for 12 years, he has been here for 17 years, and Dou Xingkong came a little later, but it has also been 14 years. For more than ten years, the two of them have been doing nothing all day, and today they actually heard that there is something important to do, how can they not be ecstatic?

Shang Xiaotian said: "In recent years, the newly rising Chu Xiang League-the younger brother has mentioned it to the two of them many times, and now, they are likely to come to attack my Yueyang Tower......

"The landlord of the merchant building doesn't have to worry! Since the ancient soldiers have come to block it, the water will cover it! If the Chu Xiang League dares to attack, just hit them hard! It's just that don't forget to inform us during the big war! After holding back all these years, our fists are itching uncomfortably! We have long wanted to crush the enemy!"

Shang Xiaotian said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Dou and Brother Yao! At that time, you will have to rely on the two of you to retreat from the enemy! It's just that the two of you must not underestimate this Chu Xiang League! Not only do they help a lot of people, but they also have a lot of masters, and that Shangguan Xiong is even more outstanding in martial arts, besides, the five protectors under him are also all extraordinary in martial arts!"

Yao Yuan interjected: "That Shangguan Xiong, the elder brother may not be able to deal with it, but with the extraordinary martial arts of the merchant landlord, he will definitely be able to deal with him! As for the five protectors, please rest assured, we are confident that we can deal with him!"

"I also have this confidence in the strength of the two elder brothers!" Shang Xiaotian showed a slight sadness, and said in a deep voice: "It's just that I heard that Shangguan Xiong also has four hidden masters, and his martial arts are still above the five protectors!"

"What?" Dou and Yao were surprised and asked in unison, "Is this news reliable?"

"As far as I know about Shangguan Xiong, eight or nine times out of ten are true!" Shang Xiaotian frowned.

"In this way, it's really hard to deal with!" Dou Xingkong sighed, and Yao Yuan lowered his head and shook his head.
