A huge screen is carved with seven soaring dragons. These seven dragons are of different colors and are carved from seven kinds of beautiful jade. The dragon's scales and whiskers are fully visible, and the dragon's head looks even more powerful.
Behind the screen sat an old man with silver hair and wrinkles on his face. He was wearing a black robe, with a skull mark embroidered in red thread on his chest.
There were three people standing outside the screen, two men and one woman. These three people are the current ministers of the ghost minister. The one standing on the left is an old man with a long beard and a drooping chest, with a green complexion. The one on the right is a young man of about thirty years old, with a pale face and a hand in his hand. Holding a folding fan. The woman standing in the middle is wearing a light green gown. She is about twenty years old, with skin as smooth as gel and a beautiful appearance.
The old man behind the screen twirled his beard and said: "Our plan to conquer the Central Plains does not seem to be going too smoothly." After the three of them heard this, they said in unison: "It is the sin of the subordinates. Please punish the master." The old man sneered: " Now that the matter has come to this, do you think it is useful for me to punish you again?" The three of them said in unison: "Please give me instructions, Master of the Sect."
The old man said again: "I am getting old. Sooner or later, the position of the leader of this sect will fall on the three of you. The six major sects of the Central Plains martial arts are our old enemies and should be eradicated as soon as possible." As he said this, he changed the subject and added Said: "Bai Yatou, you are taking over your grandma's position. When she was in this position, she seemed not as miserable as you."
Beads of sweat appeared on the woman's forehead, her face flushed, and she knelt down and said, "What the sect master is teaching you is that Xuan'er is incompetent and failed to live up to grandma's expectations and the sect master's trust." The old man said sternly: "Let me ask you, why do you fail again and again?" The woman said: "Return to the master, all because of one person's obstruction."
The old man asked: "Who is he? Could it be Jun Linyuan?" Bai Ruoxuan said: "No, it's Xiao Yunfan from Langjian Sect." The old man muttered: "Langjian Sect, that sounds very familiar." Bai Ruoxuan paused for a moment. He paused and said: "My subordinates have found out that Xie Tianya, the head of Langjian Sect, is dead, and this Xiao Yunfan is his disciple."
The old man tapped his fingers gently on the armrest of the chair and said calmly: "How can this Xiao Yunfan be able to ruin our plan three times and four times?" Bai Ruoxuan said: "Xiao Yunfan's own martial arts can rank among the first-class masters in the Central Plains. This man was unparalleled in wit, and Wei Wuyou and Ji Qianyun were defeated by him.
The subordinates have always been puzzled. Logically speaking, Xiao Yunfan was seriously injured in the battle at Xuannv Palace, but instead of dying, this person's martial arts improved greatly. Therefore, his subordinates suspected that someone was secretly helping him. The old man's eyes twitched and he said: "You mean our Ghost Prime Minister has an undercover agent from the Central Plains Wulin?" "
Bai Ruoxuan said: "My subordinates are just guessing, there is no real evidence." The old man thought for a moment, sighed and said: "Okay, even so, I will give you another chance. This time you will personally deal with Xiao Yunfan. Ye Protector, Protector Zhang, you two stay at the door and are not allowed to go anywhere. Bai Yatou, are you relieved now?"
Bai Ruoxuan raised her beautiful eyebrows and said loudly: "I will definitely live up to the expectations of the sect master." The old man said: "Remember, if you fail this time, I will not let you go lightly." Bai Ruoxuan said: "Yes, I belong to you. Xiao Yunfan will be captured alive next time."
On the official road, a carriage was driving slowly. A woman with an oval face opened the car curtain, holding a green bamboo tube in her hand and said: "Master, you are tired of driving, drink some water." Xiao Yunfan reined in the horse, took the bamboo tube, and took a big sip. He wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve and said with a smile: "You two little girls didn't have to follow me."
The woman said: "Master, we were given to you by the high priest and he will serve you for the rest of your life." Xiao Yunfan said: "Now that the high priest is dead, you no longer need to keep his promise. This time I will It's a long way back to Ziyu Mountain. You will inevitably endure hardships along the way."
The woman shook her head and said, "It's okay for me and Luoyue to endure hardship, as long as the master doesn't dare us to leave." As she said this, tears flashed in her eyes, and Xiao Yunfan softened her heart and said, "You'd better call me the master instead of the master. Otherwise, I will feel uncomfortable all over. Let me call you sister from now on, and you two can just call me Brother Xiao." The woman said, "I don't dare."
Xiao Yunfan straightened his face and said, "If you don't scream, then don't follow me." Tingyun whispered, "Brother Xiao." Xiao Yunfan said, "Well, that's good." He whistled and the two The horse spread its hooves and ran forward, bringing up a cloud of smoke.
After walking another thirty miles, Xiao Yunfan came to a large town and stayed at an inn. At night, Xiao Yunfan sat on the bed. He thought to himself: "Where are you, Qingmei? Xiao Yunfan, you have always been conceited and smart. Why can't you find any clues this time?"
Then I thought again: "Why didn't that senior allow me to meet Qingmei? Could it be that I was poisoned by Chi You's demon blood that day, and Qingmei agreed to that senior's request, so she didn't want to see me?" ? This senior treats me quite well, I believe he will not embarrass your sister. I, Xiao Yunfan, am active and nosy by nature.
This senior knew that I couldn't change my temper, and he tried to persuade me to turn back over and over again because he cherished my life. However, what’s the point of living a lifetime if you can’t live according to your own will? If Qingmei and I were together, would she also advise me to restrain my temper? Maybe not, she understands me best.
I will be able to fulfill Master's last wish soon, but where should I go after that? I went to find Qingmei, but it was really difficult because of the huge crowd. By the way, Xu Yuantai said that day that the court seemed to have no intention of overturning the case again, and the Feng family's case was probably a solid case. Qingmei left because she was afraid of causing trouble to me?
If you have the opportunity to see the emperor, you must discuss the Tao with him. How easy is it to get the emperor to admit his mistake? I heard Master say before that the emperor kills people without blinking an eye. Even if he knows it is wrong, he will not admit it. "
While he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard the sound of roof tiles. Xiao Yunfan knew that someone was on the roof, so he immediately grabbed the sword, put on his clothes and walked out of the room. He knocked on the room of the two girls next door, and Ting Yun thought to herself, "It's so late, what can he do?" She put on her shirt, lit the oil lamp, and walked slowly to the door.
Xiao Yunfan said: "Sister Tingyun, I'm really sorry for disturbing your rest." Tingyun said: "Brother Xiao, what's wrong?" He went to pull the door bolt. Xiao Yunfan said: "You don't need to open the door, I have a few words to say to you." Tingyun said: "Yeah. Brother Xiao, you say it, I'll listen." Xiao Yunfan said: "You guys stay in the inn and don't go anywhere, I I have to go out to do some errands, which can take as little as three to five days, or as long as seven or eight days."
Tingyun asked suspiciously: "Brother Xiao is going to abandon us?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Good girl, how can I, Xiao Yunfan, not keep my word? I really have something important to do, so don't worry." After that, he returned to his room. , push open the window pane, and jump out.
At this time, everything was silent, and the moonlight shone faintly on the bluestone streets. Xiao Yunfan raised his spirits and climbed onto the roof. He just heard that the footsteps on the roof were heading east, so he walked eastward. Suddenly, he saw a piece of tile not far away showing a light yellow light, and thought to himself: "Most of the people who came here got off here."
He held his breath and moved closer to the tiles. There were three men sitting in the room. One was a middle-aged man with a beard standing in night clothes, and the other two were sitting. One is an old man in ragged clothes who looks like a beggar, and the other is a hunchback. Xiao Yunfan looked down, and the bearded man said with a sad and angry look: "I invite the two brothers to come here this time because I want to ask them to help me."
The hunchback said: "Well, Brother Ma, sit down and tell me." The man surnamed Ma sat down, punched the table, and said angrily: "It's my sister's fault for this, I spoiled her. Originally, I spoiled her rotten. Family scandals should not be made public, but now that I want to ask my two elder brothers to help me, I must explain this matter to you two."
The man surnamed Ma looked very embarrassed. He finally plucked up the courage and said: "My girl is twenty-seven this year, and she is an old girl who has not left the court. My brother, I usually like to have sex with women, and this girl of mine is a womanizer. Originally, neither of us could care about anything. Who, but after her death, if I, as a brother, don’t take revenge, it will seem heartless and unjust."
The old beggar said: "Brother Ma, you treat us well. If you have any questions, just give me your orders." The man surnamed Ma said: "A few days ago, my girl forced a scholar to consummate her marriage. Afterwards, I still The scholar took care of it. Who would have thought that Yin Shisan would know about this, and he would kill my sister and put her naked body at the door of my Majia Village.
Hey, I can't swallow this breath. Even if you want to kill my girl, it won't be someone else's turn. This Silver Thirteen is really bullying people, so I want to ask my two older brothers to help me. "
When the hunchback heard the words "Yin Thirteen", his expression changed and he said: "If it were someone else, our brothers can still help you, this Silver Thirteen..." The man surnamed Ma said displeasedly: "What's wrong with Silver Thirteen? He's not either One head and two legs, what’s there to be afraid of?”
The hunchback shook his head and said: "Brother, you don't know. You have never heard anyone say 'Golden Leopard, Silver Wolf and Jade Lion'. This Silver Wolf and Silver Thirteen have a great background. His famous stunt 'Seven Kills of Sirius' is even more powerful." Zhen Wulin. How easy is it to take his life?" The man surnamed Ma clenched his fists and said with veins popping out on his forehead: "Is this the end of the matter?"
The hunchback flattered: "I can't help you with this." The man surnamed Ma said: "Brother He, what do you say? The power of your beggar gang spreads all over the world. Isn't it easy to deal with a Silver Thirteen?" The old beggar said He sniffed and said, "Well..." The man surnamed Ma became anxious and said, "Brother, please say something nice, don't do this or that."
The old beggar narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "To deal with Silver Thirteen, you have to have a good reputation. Besides, this person has never offended the Beggar Gang. It is really unreasonable for us to embarrass him." The man surnamed Ma sneered: "It seems that you two are not You're going to help me." The hunchback looked at the old beggar with a red face.
The old beggar said: "There is no way, but would you be willing to ask your brother to spend some money?" The man surnamed Ma said: "Mr. Ma has a lot of money. I don't know how much it will take for me to help me?" The old beggar stretched out his hand. Pulling out five dark fingers, the man surnamed Ma said: "Five thousand taels."
The old beggar said: "Yin Shisan's life is at least fifty thousand taels." The man surnamed Ma lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, fifty thousand taels is fifty thousand taels, as long as the beggar gang takes action to take Yin Shisan's life."
