One year later.

Dominate the study room.

Xiong Ba was sitting on a rosewood Taishi chair. On the table was a golden incense cauldron, burning the incense wood that awakened the spirit.

Xiong Ba at the moment is Xiang Fanchen's stand-in. During this year, Xiang Fanchen spent most of his time in seclusion, only exchanging identities with his stand-in from time to time to test whether anyone in the gang noticed anything wrong.

In the past month, most of the people who appeared were stand-ins. When no one suspected anything, Xiang Fanchen decided to skip work again and sneaked out of Tianxiahui.

Below, Feng Yunshuang and the other three are really reporting on the recent affairs of the gang.

In the past year, Qin Shuang was still the deputy gang leader, but Xiongba once again took back his gang leader authority, and he still needed to make decisions on major issues.

At this moment, Qin Shuang is reporting on the recent major events in the martial arts world. This year, under the guidance of Xiang Fanchen's prudent and progressive policy, the world will be steady and steady. Although it has not expanded its territory, its foundation has become more solid.

It's just that another force in the martial arts world, Wushen Juegong, has also joined the Supreme and quietly risen.

The world of Fengyun is quite complicated. The current Tianxiahui is similar to the overlords of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, but the Supreme is the orthodox martial arts, similar to the emperor.

Xiang Fanchen has always been fascinated by this magical pattern.

"Well, I already know about this, please continue to pay attention to the movements of Wushenjue Palace."

Xiong Ba narrowed his eyes slightly and remained calm, but calmly told Qin Shuang to pay attention to the movements of Wu Shen Jue Palace.

A force cannot rise suddenly like this. It must have its own foundation. It is best to obtain enough information before dealing with it.

"Yes, Master. In addition, my disciple also found out that Duan Lang, a traitor from our Tianxia Society, also appeared in Wushenjue Palace."

Qin Shuang looked at the calm Xiongba and continued to report. Now Xiongba was becoming more and more difficult to figure out. She couldn't understand what the other party was thinking.

However, although his thoughts are getting deeper and deeper, he is gradually delegating power instead of holding all the power in his own hands like before.

"Broken Waves? I didn't expect that after Wushuang City fell, he climbed up other big trees."

"This little shrimp really caused a big storm. If we encounter him in the future, don't worry about our friendship."

In Xiongba's view, although Duan Lang is an inconspicuous character, it is annoying to keep jumping out of sight.

"Yes, master."

After reporting on the affairs of the Tianxiahui, Qin Shuang left Xiongba's study and returned to Tianshuang Hall. As soon as he entered the room, a beautiful figure greeted him: "Brother Qin, you are back."

The woman was wearing the uniform uniform of a maid in the world. She had an oval face, a delicate face, and fair skin. She looked exactly like Kong Ci, and she was Kong Ci's sister.

After Bu Jingyun and Kong Ci got married, Xiang Fanchen found Kong Ci's sister who was secretly trained by Xiong Ba and assigned her to Qin Shuang as a maid.

Qin Shuang is gentle and steady, handles things properly, and values ​​friendship. How can we not win over such a person? The most suitable thing to trap such a person is not power, but feelings.

"Well! Ning'er worked hard and kept the hall in good order."

Qin Shuang looked at Kong Ning with tenderness in her eyes. He was very satisfied with this maid. Kong Ning had a good impression of Qin Shuang, a warm-hearted man.

So the two went back and forth, and they were considered to have hooked up. However, there was still a gap in their identities, so they did not make their relationship clear and report it to Xiongba.

"It's not hard work for Ning'er, it's hard work for Brother Qin to manage the world."

"Ning'er, this is the rouge I bought for you."

Qin Shuang took out the rouge from her arms and handed it to Kong Ning.

"Thank you, Brother Qin!"

Kong Ning held the rouge box that was still warm from Qin Shuang, and a beautiful smile bloomed on his face.

~~~~~~

Xiang Fanchen had no specific place to go after leaving Tianxiahui. People, after staying at home for a long time, want to go out for a walk, and after being away for a long time, they want to go back and stay at home.

Although it incorporates the insights of many sword masters, the Holy Spirit Sword Technique has already been used by Sword Twenty-Two, but Sword Twenty-Three has been difficult to digest and cannot be used now.

After wandering around the world for some time, Xiang Fanchen prepared to go to the Gate of Life and Death to have a look. The First Evil Emperor lived in seclusion here. Although he had integrated many swordsmanship masters, he did not want to let his swordsmanship fall behind.

The Evil Emperor is the number one person with the second surname. It is said that he has outstanding talents. He is good at all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is the strongest in all of them and is number one in them all. I don’t know if he is number one in everything. However, this person’s talent in the art of swordsmanship is indeed very outstanding.

Chuang's magic sword is truly amazingly powerful.

Xiang Fanchen didn't know where the Gate of Life and Death was, and there was no specific explanation in the original work, so he had to ask along the way.

"Waiter, come here, let me ask you something." Xiang Fanchen stopped at a restaurant to eat and rest, and asked the waiter who came to serve the food.

When it comes to being well-informed, the waiter in the hotel is definitely at the top of the list. After all, people come and go in restaurants, and people from all walks of life come and go frequently. They often talk about everything while eating, and the waiter can also hear a lot of news. Although the news

The accuracy is not that high.

"Hello, sir, what do you want to ask about?"

The waiter has seen a lot about this kind of thing, and people in the world often ask him for information. If he is not so busy, the waiter is also willing to answer. After all, you can get a lot of information with just an ear.

This information is of little use to me, but people in the martial arts community often come to inquire about information, and as long as I answer their information, I will usually receive extra reward money.

"Do you know there is a place called the Gate of Life and Death near here?"

Xiang Fanchen threw out a piece of silver and threw it into his pocket.

After getting the money, the waiter smiled happily and said, "Did you say the Gate of Life and Death, sir? I haven't heard of this place, but not long ago someone came to inquire about the Gate of Life and Death."

"Later it was said that they made inquiries, but I don't know where they got the information from, but I heard that they went west after leaving the city."

The latter part can obviously be said or not, but Xiang Fanchen gave the money, so the waiter did his duty very well and told Xiang Fanchen all the news he knew.

Not far from Xiang Fanchen's table, a fat man's ears twitched slightly, apparently hearing the conversation between Xiang Fanchen and the waiter.

"That's it. Thank you so much, second brother. You can go and do your work."

Xiang Fanchen thought for a while, but he didn't know who else was looking for the Evil Emperor.

"Then please take your time, sir."

Seeing that Xiang Fanchen had nothing to do, he asked again, and he got the money, so he wisely withdrew.

Knowing the general direction, Xiang Fanchen was not in a hurry and ate slowly, preparing to go to the Gate of Life and Death after having enough food and wine.

The food in Fengyun World is relatively similar to that in later generations. It mainly involves frying and stir-frying, supplemented by stewing. It tastes quite good, but it lacks the ingredient of chili. Although the concentration of the wine is not as strong as that in later generations, it still has a refreshing fragrance.

Xiang Fanchen was eating when a chubby figure not far away walked towards the table.

"Little brother, can we share a table?"

The visitor was very polite and said to Xiang Fanchen with a smile.

"please!"

Xiang Fanchen took a look at the person who came. He was wearing dark gray clothes with yellow stripes. He looked very rich and smiled like Maitreya Buddha. He held a wide sword in his hand and sat down opposite Xiang Fanchen.

"I heard that little brother is looking for the Gate of Life and Death? I wonder why little brother is looking for the Gate of Life and Death?"

The waiter greeted the waiter and ordered another table of dishes. While eating, he asked Xiang Fanchen about it.

"Since we're at the Gate of Life and Death, it's natural to learn Pai Gow."
