Han Shantun and Ye Shanzhao failed in two consecutive assassinations. At this moment, they were kneeling in front of Yang Fei, unable to say a word.
After a long time, Yang Fei said gloomily:
"I...I'm too lazy to punish you."
"I'll give you one last chance. The spies lurking around Li Chu reported back that Su Xiu has left Li Chu for a long time. The two of them may have fallen out, so Su Xiu will not always stay by Li Xin'an's side.
.Give you ten days, you don’t have to wait until Li Xin’an leaves the city, you can go directly to Youxiangju and kill him!”
"If this doesn't work out..."
He slowly raised his knee, stepped on Han Shan's lowered head, pressed it down hard, and said coldly:
"I want your lives!"
"Yes!" Han Shan, Ye Shanzha and his wife said respectfully.
In the darkness, an old laughter sounded: "Hehe... If these two babies can't kill that Li Xin'an, should you let me go out?"
Yang Fei turned around and glanced, "Want to fight with that classmate of yours?"
"What I wish for."
"Okay." Yang Fei agreed to him happily.
The old man in the darkness said in surprise: "You agree?"
"You don't understand what I said?" Yang Fei said in a cold tone.
"No, I just didn't expect that you would agree so happily."
"I don't want to either." Yang Fei snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the incompetence of these two losers, you would never want to leave the house in your life."
"Hahaha..." The old man looked up to the sky and laughed, and as the lights flickered, his figure disappeared.
Han Shantou raised his head and asked: "Master, Murong Bai and Ye Qinglan have both come to Beijing and live together in Youxiangju. If you meet them, will you..."
"Kill." Yang Fei said calmly.
"You, a dignified general of the Xizhou Army, can't...can't even solve the two of them?"
"Subordinate...obey!"
…
After the first month of the year, everything in the Bloody Clothes Hall was back on track.
Murong Bai and Zhang Quan coordinated the affairs of the Blood Clothes Hall in Chang'an, and Li Xin'an became the idle hall master. Apart from practicing swordsmanship every day, he just swaggered through the city with Ye Qinglan. How happy!
A lot of things happened during this period. What made Li Xin'an happy the most was that Murong Ce and other Murong Bai's confidants all joined the Blood Clothes Hall.
Different from being forced before, this time they were willing and convinced.
There has been no news from Li Chu. At present, it seems that since Zhong Nanxun joined the "Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons", the responsibilities of the Blood Clothes Hall have been gradually replaced by him. A new generation has replaced the old one. Li Xin'an is happy to do this and have some leisure time.
Compared to the Khitan case, Li Xin'an was more worried about Chenjiazhuang outside the city.
Li Xinan wanted to investigate the strange symptoms in Chenjiazhuang a few years ago, but so many things happened, so he delayed it.
Now that I have nothing to do, it's time to put the affairs of Chenjiazhuang on the agenda.
Just when Li Xin'an was eager to start investigating the Chenjiazhuang case, everything was in chaos in the Huangsun Mansion.
Li Chu angrily reprimanded the man in front of him: "Xie Liya, what use do I need from you! Su Xiu, Su Xiu, you can't find it. If you catch the spy, let me run away. Are you a free man?"
"
Xie Liya knelt on one knee, lowered his head in silence, and endured Li Chu's scolding.
"I really didn't expect that the guard who has been with me for twelve years is actually Yang Guozhong's eyes." Li Chu said coldly with veins popping up on his forehead:
"Su Xiu, I don't need you to worry about it. Mr. Zhong will do it. You are responsible for catching Zhang Fuchun, who you let go! I don't care what method you use, within three days, you have to see someone alive."
, I want to see the corpse if I die!"
"yes."
Xie Liya stood up, bowed deeply to Li Chu, and exited the door.
As Li Chu's private power, there is a large courtyard with six entrances in the southwest corner of the "Tianlong Babu" Huangsun Mansion, two of which belong to the "Tianzhong".
Xie Liya came here with a gloomy face, and the "Heavenly People" were idle
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
One hundred and sixty-eight people, all gathered here at this moment, waiting for Xie Liya's order.
"Bargo, Turo." Zeliya walked into the room, changed his clothes, went out and looked at everyone, and said coldly:
"Each of you will lead fifty people, one to Wannian County and the other to Chang'an County. His Highness has given you the right to act expediently. You can consider your actions accordingly."
At the front of the team, two Tianzhu-looking monks said respectfully: "Yes!"
"Fu'erxiang, you will still be monitoring Yang Guozhong's residence. I will assign you ten more people. Once you see Zhang Fuchun, no matter what the cost, don't kill him!"
A beautiful Tianzhu woman with a slim figure and scantily clad clothes smiled sweetly: "Yes."
"By the way, tell Tisige to give up the pursuit of Su Xiu." Xie Liya frowned and said, "His Highness has handed over this matter to Zhong Nanxun and sent him back to bring the remaining people with him.
I'll act together."
"In three days, Zhang Fuchun will have to see people alive, and will have to see his body if he dies!"
"Set off!"
…
The sun was shining brightly in early spring, and Li Xin'an was lying on the deck chair boredly, looking at the sun lazily.
He had just finished the competition with Murong Bai, and he sadly realized that the gap between him and Murong Bai had widened. Not long ago, Murong Bai was an ordinary middle-ranked second-rank man, but now, he had just returned home and was already on the verge of death.
The situation is broken.
"It's good to have a good father. I don't know what happened to the old man Pei Min at the front line, and there's still no news about him."
He was thinking boredly, and his thoughts gradually became heavy. Just when he was about to fall asleep, he was suddenly startled by Ye Qinglan's voice.
"Hey, hey, do you know that a man of great influence has come to Chang'an City now?"
Ye Qinglan ran into the courtyard excitedly, sat on a stone bench, and poured herself a bowl of water.
Murong Bai, who was in the room, asked in confusion: "The man of the hour? Who is it?"
"A swordsman."
Li Xin'an turned over on the recliner, "The three of us are all swordsmen, let's not care what a swordsman does."
Ye Qinglan said: "That's wrong. The world of martial arts is one family, and we can learn a lot from swordsmen."
"Qinglan, tell me, what's so special about that swordsman?" Murong Bai came over and sat next to Ye Qinglan.
With a mysterious look on his face, Ye Qinglan leaned close to Murong Bai's ear and whispered: "Cousin, Brother Li is not interested in this matter. I will only tell you one person, so don't tell him."
Li Xin'an rolled his eyes and said in a loud voice: "Zhang Quan, I'll give you a quarter of an hour to find out the eighteenth generation of that swordsman's ancestors."
"Just brag!" Ye Qinglan pouted, "That swordsman is not a native of Chang'an City, he comes from the Songmo Protectorate!"
"What?" After hearing this, Li Xin'an quickly stood up from the recliner and sat next to Ye Qinglan.
"Songmo Protectorate, from Mobei?"
"yes."
"There aren't many people in that place."
Murong Bai said: "I remember that in the last years of the Wu clan, the unorganized Songmo Protectorate was once captured by the Khitan people. The soldiers and people in the city resisted desperately and blocked the Khitan people for eleven years. Later, when the saint ascended the throne of Dabao, he discovered that there was such a person.
place."
Li Xin'an nodded and said: "The Songmo Protectorate was founded by the saint Nian Gong, but that place is located in the Gobi Desert and is uninhabited for thousands of miles. It is really useless to the Tang Dynasty. After the people there were evacuated, the Songmo Protectorate
There are only a thousand troops stationed there all year round."
"Is this Mobei swordsman from the army?"
Ye Qinglan shook his head and said, "No."
"This man came to Chang'an more than half a month ago. All he did was come to challenge Chang'an swordsmen. Every time he won, he broke the opponent's sword and left. For more than half a month, four people, big and small,
In more than ten battles, there was a bloody fight almost every day, but without exception, he ended up victorious and never suffered a defeat."
"In the beginning, he only challenged the small sects in Chang'an, but later he gradually challenged the big sects, such as the Seven Star Sect and the Divine Sword Sect, and they all became his defeated enemies."
"So powerful?" Li Xin'an was dumbfounded for a moment, "The Seven Star Sword of the Seven Star Sect and the overbearing sword skills of the Divine Sword Sect were both martial arts that were ranked in the Tianji Tower, and they were defeated by that swordsman like that?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
His expression became solemn, "Ye Qi, do you know the identity of that person?"
Ye Qinglan nodded, "His name is Xiao Xuangan. He is twenty-three years old. His cultivation level is... it is said that he is at the peak of the second grade."
Li Xin'an looked at Murong Bai, who lowered his eyes and was thinking about something in his mind.
"His cultivation is not inferior to that of Bai Mumu, but he is a little older, and he is also a genius."
Li Xin'an sighed: "What kind of world is this? How come these geniuses who have not been seen for a century have appeared all at once, and they all say that heroes emerge from troubled times. What's going on, the Tang Dynasty is going to die?"
Ye Qinglan hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Brother Li, don't talk nonsense, you can't say this!"
Murong Bai raised his head, with a fighting spirit on his face, and stared at Ye Qinglan with burning eyes.
The latter was a little frightened by his stare, and leaned towards Li Xin'an in fear, "You...what do you want to do?"
"Qinglan, do you know where Xiao Xuangan lives?"
"I know, what do you want to do?"
"What you said just now is quite right!" Murong Bai couldn't hide his excitement, "The martial arts in the world are all from the same family, no matter how good the sword or sword, they are all the same. If I fight with such a genius of the sword sect, I will definitely be able to
Gain some insights and break through the bottleneck of the second-grade middle!"
"You are really a martial arts idiot..." Li Xin'an and Ye Qinglan smiled bitterly at the same time.
"I just finished challenging the Dragon Tiger Gate today and have gone back to rest." Ye Qinglan said, "Xiao Xuangan now has a lot of followers in Chang'an City. They bought a yard in Yongdafang for Xiao Xuangan to stay.
, I don’t know exactly where it is, but I think it won’t be difficult for Brother Li to investigate.”
Li Xin'an said "hmm" and said, "Leave this to me."
"It's just that Xiao Xuangan has a rule." Ye Qinglan said, "If you want to challenge him, you must inform him one day in advance, in order to avoid conflicting with the time when he challenges others."
"And he can only accept a maximum of five challenges a day. Cousin, if you want to go, you will probably have to wait for a long time."
"Time is not a problem." Murong Bai said, "As long as he doesn't die."
Ye Qinglan had a strange look on his face: "Hey, hey, hey, don't curse me, something will happen to me. Where did your demeanor as the leader of the martial arts league go?"
"What he said is right." Li Xin'an said, "Since this Xiao Xuangan has not suffered a defeat in half a month, he has already slapped the Chang'an Wulin in the face, let alone the defeat of a major sect like the Seven Star Sect and the Sword Sect.
The halberd sinks into the sand, and if he continues to win, the entire Chang'an Wulin will be unable to hold its head high."
"The best solution is to find a younger generation of high-level practitioners in Chang'an Sword Art and let him defeat Xiao Xuangan to silence the world. In this way, Xiao Xuangan will be famous,
It can also save the face of Chang’an Wulin.”
"How many young heroes like this are there in the world? How many are there who stick to the Sword Sect lineage? If you can't find him, you can only send out the strong men of the older generation, or... secretly kill him.
"
"So cruel?" Ye Qinglan said in surprise.
Murong Bai said: "These are very common methods in the world. Young people can't beat others, and old people use it to make others famous in disguise, so they can only stumble in secret."
"If you ask me, although Xiao Xuangan is strong, there are not many young people in Chang'an Sword Sect who can control him. The two twins of the Liu family, brother and sister, are both middle-ranking second-grade people. Although they are nearly thirty years old, they are
It's not like he can't take action." Murong Bai said, "When meeting one of them, Xiao Xuangan just needs to be sensible and admit defeat with dignity. That's the best choice. Even if he wants to win, it won't be that easy. The Liu family's swordsmanship is exquisite.
Cooperation evolved from the swordsmanship in the military. In a one-on-one competition, there is actually no advantage. However, as long as the twins take anyone with them, be it third-grade or fourth-grade, Xiao Xuangan will definitely lose.
When two brothers and sisters come together, they can compete with each other at every level."
Li Xin'an nodded slowly: "Indeed, facing these two people, I'm afraid even if you and I go together, we may not have a chance of winning."
Ye Qinglan looked at the two of them with a strange expression, "I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"Well, you say."
"Xiao Xuangan did say that he would eventually challenge the Liu family."
"Of course, the Liu family is the most powerful family in the Dao Sect lineage. Looking at the entire world, there may not be many forces that can compete with them."
"No, no, no, that's not what I'm talking about." Ye Qinglan said with a bitter smile, "Xiao Xuangan said he wanted to challenge the Liu family, not the twins. What he wanted to challenge was the head of the Liu family, Liu Xiao from the 21st Martial Arts Review.
