There is pleasant music coming from the courtyard, which is high and clear.
The middle-aged man from the Taoist Office walked to a corner door of the courtyard and stopped to listen for a while.
It wasn't until the sound of the piano changed, like a bright lake under the moonlight, reflecting the brilliance, filling the air with a touch of sadness and sweetness, bringing inner peace, that he pushed the door open and entered the courtyard.
In the courtyard, there are gurgling water, cascading trees, and winding paths.
At the end of the path, an exquisite and clear octagonal pavilion is hidden among the light smoke and willows.
Sitting in the pavilion was a young girl dressed in men's clothing. She was wearing a silk scarf and playing a guqin. A burner of sandalwood was burning next to the qin. There were two tall and burly men behind her as guards.
The middle-aged man did not dare to approach the Octagonal Pavilion. He stopped at a distance. After the sound of the piano disappeared, he bowed and said:
"Miss... no, sir, except for those who were handed over to the Taoist Office, all members of the 'Four Evil Hall' hidden in the city have been executed, including the incense master who pretended to be the steward of the Li family.
"Although he received the news in advance, his soul was still captured by the 'strong man' you gave me."
The girl dressed in men's clothing coughed slightly and said in a hoarse voice: "Very good! I am very satisfied with how things were done this time... You should also learn more from the Taoist officials of Yumen County and try to dig out more." Sijitang's offal."
"Yes, Young Master... However, this incense owner in Zhoucheng is not like Xie Shuyi. His soul must be contaminated by evil spirits and has restrictions... I apply to use the 'Yellow Sky Flag' to shield the evil spirits from prying eyes." The middle-aged man requested.
"Yes." The girl dressed in men's clothing nodded slightly, then coughed violently a few times. After wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, she turned to give instructions, "The information says that Xie Shuyi also has an older brother named Xie Zhongchi, who seems to have become a Shaanzhou Feiyunshan became its inner disciple?
“You just send people to get rid of him.
"What the Xie family did is so unscrupulous, I guess he is not innocent either!"
The middle-aged man frowned, and said after careful consideration: "Although Feiyun Mountain has declined in recent years and lost its only Dongxuan Master, its foundation is still there. There are phantom magic weapons inside the gate to suppress it. How can we directly kill their inner gate?" Disciple, is this going too far?
"It's better to go to the leader of the sect and explain a few things before taking action."
"Hmph! Kill those bastards from the Demonic Family! How dare Feiyun Mountain come to me to argue?" Perhaps because she was a little too excited, the girl dressed in men's clothing coughed so hard that she couldn't breathe for a while, and then vomited after a long time. There was a mouthful of blood in the handkerchief, bright red and ferocious.
The middle-aged man didn't dare to reply when he saw this, and he bowed his head in response.
"Don't be afraid, I can rest assured when you do things." After the girl dressed in men's clothing adjusted her aura a little, she turned to say, "By the way, this time, the evil slayer who first discovered the problem of the Xie family and interrogated the key information It's time to give a good reward...
“Although this is the credit of the Zheng family’s sister... but without him, the Zheng family’s sister would not have gone to Black Wind Castle.
"Well, you sent a message to 'Huang Shisan' in Yumen and asked him to prepare a gift for me to give to the evil slayer."
"Yes, sir."
After the middle-aged man left, the woman dressed as a man took a pill, and then played the piano again to regulate her body with the music.
"There will still be some time before the lamp runs out...'Four Evil Hall', I will try my best to eradicate these cancers in my limited remaining life!"
…
At the entrance of the underground passage of Black Wind Castle, Zhao Chen guided a group of soldiers into it, and then he became the shopkeeper, focusing on accumulating his energy and practicing his sword skills.
Anyway, the most valuable things inside have already gone into his own pocket, so there is no need for him to compete with others for oil and water.
At this time, it had been three days since Yan Hongxia arrived at Black Wind Castle. All kinds of home confiscation and evidence collection work were coming to an end. The Xie family's property had basically been divided up by all parties. Only the ownership of the oasis of Black Wind Castle was still in dispute.
But this has nothing to do with Zhao Chen. After all, even if this oasis city was given to him, he wouldn't be able to keep it with his apparent strength.
Just as he was practicing the "Chu Yang Sword Technique" boredly, he saw an armored man walking over.
He was seven feet tall, with a dignified appearance, and was accompanied by a tall, burly man.
This man is a commander of the officers and soldiers of Yumen County. His name is Ji Xin. He has the ability to open all four apertures and can be regarded as a young talent in the county.
Especially since he doesn't have a strong background behind him. He can become a commander only by his own accumulation of merit. For someone like Zhao Chen who directly became a ninth-grade Taoist official relying on Yan Hongxia, he has no chance of being on the same level as him. Half a favor.
As soon as he saw this person, Zhao Chen knew that trouble was coming, because in addition to looking down on him, Ji Xin seemed to be hiding some small thoughts towards Yan Hongxia.
This can be seen from the fact that he is very happy when he can say a word to Yan Hongxia and get a compliment.
And he was rumored to be Yan Hongxia's little lover, and he even often talked and laughed with her these days...
In short, Zhao Chen felt that the way this boy looked at him was getting more and more dangerous, and he probably didn't hold anything back today.
Ji Xin did become more and more dissatisfied with Zhao Chen and wanted to find an excuse to teach him a lesson, but he was not a fool. In the past few days, he had naturally heard of Zhao Chen's feat of killing more than ten horse thieves including Liu Hong with his sword.
He was not sure of victory and was worried that Yan Hongxia would be displeased, so he never took action.
But today is different...because I hired help, and it's not my fault afterwards.
A sinister smile appeared on Ji Xin's face, and he said deliberately: "Zhao Zhanxie, how can you make progress by practicing martial arts alone? Let me, my friend, practice with you."
After saying that, he didn't care whether Zhao Chen was ready or not, and said directly to the strong man beside him: "Brother Huang, as promised before, you help me teach a person a lesson, and I will help you find the person you are looking for. "
When the strong man heard this, he looked at Ji Xin with unclear eyes, nodded and said, "That's what you said."
Zhao Chen, who originally wanted to send them away as soon as possible, unexpectedly felt a hint of familiarity when he heard the strong man's voice. He thought carefully about it, and the organizer of the Ogurayama rally, the self-proclaimed "golden man", quickly flashed in his mind. "Rikishi", a man with a special quirk.
"Yes, a gentleman's words are hard to follow!" Ji Xin replied happily.
But the next moment, he suddenly screamed, because blisters swelled up on his hands, arms, and even thighs as if they had been scalded by boiling water.
"Okay, I've taught you a lesson... you can get out!" the strong man said with a smile.
Before he finished speaking, Ji Xin seemed to suddenly lose control of his body. While screaming, he walked towards the lake and jumped directly into the water.
After doing this, the tall man looked at Zhao Chen and said with a smile: "Young Master asked me to bring you a gift."
