Xiao Xuangan glanced at the faces of the three of them coldly. Murong Bai was a little embarrassed, with his head lowered and his eyes wandering. Ye Qinglan looked like he was speaking righteously.
As for Li Xin'an, Xiao Xuangan really felt a trace of murderous intent in him.
"What's going on with this person? He obviously wanted to win over me before, but now he wants to kill me."
Xiao Xuangan frowned. He knew that with his current strength, he had no ability to leave here safely. The only way to escape was to listen to them honestly.
"There's no need to take medicine." Xiao Xuangan said calmly, "What exactly do you want to ask?"
Li Xin'an said: "I have asked before, and I will say it again: Since you have been to Khitan, tell me, which one is better, Khitan or Datang?"
"The Khitan...has a vast territory, but the Khitan people are sallow and skinny, like withered monkeys. They behave unruly, bully the weak, and have frequent fights...not as good as the Tang Dynasty."
"You said that on the way here, you saw soldiers robbing people and committing all sorts of evil, is that true?"
Xiao Xuangan said: "Of course!"
"Then what did you do?"
"I……"
Xiao Xuangan was speechless for a moment, frowned and asked: "I'm just a commoner, what can I do?"
"Stand up for the people, go to the leading general of that army to argue, go to the officials to complain, if they are colluding, you come to Chang'an, go to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen to file a case, if all of these don't work -"
"Take your knife and kill them."
Xiao Xuangan was deeply shocked. He turned to look at the saber placed on the table not far away and murmured to himself:
"Kill them, they are officials, kill them..."
Li Xin'an said in a deep voice: "What about the people? What about the officials? You are a swordsman. You have seen the darkness of the Tang Dynasty. If you have the power, you should not continue to be silent. What you have to do is to make the world no longer
There is no one like you who has been persecuted by the evil policies of the Tang Dynasty!"
"……you're right."
Xiao Xuangan sighed deeply. The shackles that had been imprisoning him in his heart seemed to be loosened, and he couldn't help but feel enlightened.
"Those corrupt officials who rob the people, I will find them and chop off their heads one by one."
"But, not now." Xiao Xuangan was a little low and his voice was weak, "I have... something I must do."
Li Xin'an smiled and said: "Actually, you don't need to do anything. We have already found out that the army that robbed the people has just been reorganized by the court. Most of them are bandit bullies. At present, that army has already
We stopped in Yunzhou and His Highness reported the truth. We also picked up the people who were robbed by them and are still on the way. Don't worry, they will get an explanation."
Xiao Xuangan stared at him, "I never thought you would do good things."
"We are not evil people. After all, we are still working for His Highness. He loves the people, so we will love the people."
"Then what if he regards human life as nothing?" Xiao Xuangan asked rhetorically.
Li Xin'an smiled and said: "Then let's change the master and treat him like a fool."
Xiao Xuangan was silent. After a while, he slowly said:
"You don't have to say good things to the Tang Dynasty court and that Li Chu. I will still hate him if I should."
"But, you understand a little bit, don't you?" Li Xin'an said softly, "I hate them too. In the past seventeen years, I have seen some of the darkest people in the world, and they have the kindest and warmest smiles, thinking
The most vicious and cruel plans, but the people they harmed still have to smile and welcome them."
"These things are much more dangerous than the windy sand in Mobei."
Xiao Xuangan hesitated for a while and said: "It seems that your past has not been smooth either."
“Smooth? Absolutely bumpy!”
Li Xin'an sighed, and then said: "That's it for now, I won't beat around the bush with you. Now that we have opened our hearts, let me ask you, how did you get this level of cultivation?
?What is your real purpose in coming to Chang'an City?"

Xiao Xuangan looked at him and said slowly: "What can you do if I tell you? What can you do if you don't tell me?"
"We just want to know an answer. As long as your purpose does not harm the saint, His Highness, and the princes in the court, you can do whatever you want."
"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone. Besides, we've just met each other. If necessary, Blood Clothes Hall can't help you."
"I don't need your help." Xiao Xuangan said, "I want to avenge that revenge myself."
"revenge?"
Xiao Xuangan said "hmm", nodded, and said: "Among the thirty-seven old Mobei soldiers who raised me since childhood, one of them was born in Chang'an and is a swordsman."
"This martial arts of mine was all taught by him."
"The old soldier died of typhoid fever. Before he died, he told me that he was killed by a traitor and was forced to leave Chang'an and settle down in Mobei."
"The old soldier's family, property, and everything in the past have been swallowed up by traitors. His wish is that one day, I can come to Chang'an and use the sword skills he gave me to defeat the person who framed him."
Li Xin'an asked promptly: "Who is the traitor?"
Xiao Xuangan took a deep breath and said slowly: "The head of the Liu family..."
"Liu Xiaoxi?" Ye Qinglan's eyes widened and she exclaimed.
"It's not him." Xiao Xuangan shook his head and said, "It's Liu Xiaosi's younger brother, Liu Xiaojin."
"My master, that old pawn, is Wang Yi, a servant of the Liu family."
"He has worked for the Liu family for twenty-five years and grew up with Liu Xiaosi and Liu Xiaoren. He has practiced martial arts for many years, and the master has also developed a set of sword techniques on his own. He has a wish to start his own sect and use his sword skills.
Let the Dharma be passed on so that future generations can remember the name Wang Yi."
"Originally, the previous head of the Liu family, Liu Yubai, promised him that he would be allowed to leave the Liu family. But Liu Yubai went into seclusion after that. The master went to Liu Xiaojin and proposed to take away the deed of betrayal and start his own business, but he
Liu Xiaojin refused."
"The excuse he gave was that Liu Yubai was in seclusion. Foreign enemies of the Liu family were afraid of harassment, and he wanted my master to wait until Liu Yubai broke through. My master thought that it was not appropriate to leave at this time after having been favored by the Liu family for many years, so he
Promise not to leave yet."
"But Liu Xiaogan's original intention was not to let my master leave later! With clever words and persuasion, he coaxed his sword skills from my master, and shamelessly announced to the outside world that this was Liu Xiaogan's own creation.
Chuang! My master is running around trying to clear his name, but all he gets is ridicule."
"After all, who would believe that such an exquisite sword technique could be created by a servant?"
Xiao Xuangan closed his eyes and said in pain: "Later, my master couldn't stand these words, so he proposed to challenge Liu Xiaojin to a duel to let the world see who is the real master of this set of swordsmanship. Liu Xiaogan
I agreed immediately, but the night before the competition, I drugged my master’s food.”
"On the second day, my master's legs were broken. He... crawled away."
"The overwhelming curses made my master mentally exhausted. He lay in bed for a month without eating or drinking, and finally became haggard, like a lonely ghost. Liu Xiaojian also continued to instigate the beggars and scoundrels to harass him.
His family finally forced him out of Chang'an alive."
Xiao Xuangan sobbed weakly, "Master Wang Yi usually talks very little, is very quiet, and is very kind to others. When he teaches me martial arts, he always speaks harmoniously and softly. I can say that he is a pure good person!"
"
"But I can't understand why a good person should end up in a situation where there is no reward! He can't return home, his reputation is ruined, and he dies in bed like a coward."
"Can you tell me why?"
The three of them fell into silence. This matter, no matter how you think about it, is the Liu family's problem.
Li Xin'an spoke and broke the silence: "You want to kill Liu Xiaojin, right?"
Xiao Xuangan's eyes were red and he said: "Yes. I want to kill him. I can't sleep at night thinking about it!"
"I see. Now I can understand why you want to challenge Liu Xiaosi." Li Xin'an nodded, "You want to tell the truth about that year by challenging Liu Xiaosi."
"Yes, I want to let Liu Xiaojin, I want to let Liu Xiaojin
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
My family has lost all face in front of everyone in the world!"
"In this case, I'm afraid your idea will come to nothing."
Xiao Xuangan looked at Li Xin'an in surprise and asked at a loss: "What?"
"I said, your wish will come true."
Ye Qinglan on the side said in a deep voice: "Just yesterday, the Liu family was found guilty of embezzling military pay, ransacked their home and was imprisoned. Liu Xiaojin and the twins of the Liu family, Liu Wuyan and Liu Wuyan, escaped and their whereabouts are unknown."
Xiao Xuan felt as if he had been struck by thunder and stood stunned on the spot.
Li Xin'an said: "It's not that their whereabouts are unknown, they are still in Chang'an City, they just sneaked underground. Currently, Tiance Mansion is looking for them."
"Tiance Mansion? What is that?"
"Well... you can think of them as the Blood Clothes Hall under the emperor."
"That's not possible!" Xiao Xuangan said hastily, "Liu Xiaojin can't be found by them, then... how can I take revenge! I... I promised the master..."
"I want to chop off his head with my own hands!"
Li Xin'an hurriedly comforted Xiao Xuangan and said calmly: "Don't worry, Liu Xiaoqian is safe for a while, which is not right, but Tiance Mansion can't find him for a while."
"The Bloody Clothes Hall will take action, you can rest assured. On the surface, we can't take action. But underground, we are the well-deserved kings."
"Within three days, I will give you news about Liu Xiaojin!"
Xiao Xuangan said in astonishment: "You...you want to help me?"
"Why?"
"Nothing but fate," Li Xin'an said with a smile.
"Also, support justice." Ye Qinglan added.
Murong Bai said: "Since Liu Yubai, the Liu family has been dominating and famous. Although the successor Liu Xiaosi is a little more extreme in style, he is also upright and can be regarded as a hero. Only this Liu Xiaoqian is vicious and vicious.
He is scheming, his methods are despicable, and he has a bad reputation in the world."
"Except for him, one is to avenge a friend, and the other is to eliminate harm from the world. It can be said that there is a hundred benefits and no harm."
Xiao Xuangan said blankly: "You... think I am a friend? We have only known each other for a day."
"So what if it's just one day? This hall master has fallen in love with you." Li Xin'an said decisively, "You are a person who must be accepted by the Blood Clothes Hall!"
Ye Qinglan rolled his eyes and said, "Don't say it so bluntly, or you'll scare people away!"
Xiao Xuangan lowered his head. He suddenly felt that Li Xin'an and the so-called Blood Clothes Hall were no longer so annoying.
"Li Xin'an, I...hehe, I will consider it again when I have the opportunity in the future."
"Now, I have no time to do other things. I just want to kill Liu Xiaoqian as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, Liu Xiaoqian, we will definitely find it for you."
"……Thanks."
Xiao Xuangan turned to look out the window, suddenly remembered something, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Oops!"
"What's wrong?" the three asked in confusion.
Xiao Xuangan's face was livid, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said, "I'm going back."
"You haven't recovered from your injuries, and there's nothing important in your residence. They were all smashed by Bargo and the others. The money for compensation hasn't been sent over yet. What are you doing back there?"
Xiao Xuangan didn't listen. He hurriedly put on his clothes, picked up his knife and was about to go out.
His figure suddenly stopped at the door. Xiao Xuangan turned around, looked at Li Xin'an, and asked:
"Who was that monk looking for that day?"
"There is a traitor around His Highness Li Chu. He escaped and disappeared in Yongdafang. Everyone in the Huangsun Mansion is looking for him."
Xiao Xuangan said: "That person, is he about thirty years old and a head shorter than me?"
Li Xin'an tried her best to recall Zhang Fuchun's appearance, nodded and said: "Yes, eh? How do you know?"
Xiao Xuangan asked nervously: "Who is that person's spy? Has he committed any crime?"
