Let’s split the story into two parts, let’s look at the Fire Lotus Sect again.
At this time, Shi Xuanzi was in a room in the main altar, preparing to "consecrate" a civilian girl who had been honored by his subordinates.
Unexpectedly, before this guy took off his pants, a shout suddenly came from outside the house.
"Leader - something bad is going on!"
The sound came from far away and came to the door of the house in a blink of an eye.
Shi Xuanzi is not deaf either. This person has already arrived at the door, so he can't ignore him.
"You bastard! What are you yelling about!" Xie Xuanzi felt unhappy because he was disturbed, so he cursed a few times through the door, and then said, "Why are you so panicked?"
"... Hierarch, Qing... Qinglian Hall... something big has happened!" The man who came to report was running out of breath and kept panting while speaking.
"A big deal? What big deal could happen to them?" When Xi Xuanzi asked this question, he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. "Could it be possible that someone could tear down their court?"
"Teacher... Leader, you don't know something..." The guy took a few more breaths and finally managed to tell the whole story, "According to reports from the brothers of Qinglian Hall, just now... Hall Master Chen Together with all the officials under him, they were all killed..."
"What?" Shi Xuanzi only heard half of what he said, and he rushed out of the room in shock, grabbed the collar of the gangster and said, "Please tell me clearly, what is going on? Where is the other party?" Road trip? How many people are here?"
Although the guy was a little panicked when he was asked such a rude question by the leader, he was still able to answer tremblingly: "Uh... back to the leader, the murderer's name is Xiao Wuji; this person suddenly suddenly came out today Breaking into Qinglian Hall, he first declared that he would join our religion and would not do so unless he was the chief official. However, after Hall Master Chen accepted him, he suddenly betrayed him for some unknown reason and massacred everyone in the Qinglian Hall meeting hall. , and then walked away..."
"Huh?" This corpse is quite good at grasping the key points. The other party said so much, but he only focused on one point - the most important point, "You mean... there is only one person in the other party?"
"Uh...right." The guy nodded.
Hearing this, Shi Yanzi's expression changed slightly.
After a brief thought, he quickly regained his composure and let go of the minion.
Then, Shi Xuanzi sneered and muttered to himself: "Huh... ok, Jiang Muchan came last night, and Xiao Wuji showed up again today. It seems that the ghosts and snake gods in Jining have not been around recently. Less."
Having said this, he looked at the minion again, raised his voice and said, "How old is this smiling Wuji? Has anyone seen it?"
"Reporting to the leader, many brothers from Qinglian Hall have seen it." The gangster replied, "According to what they said, this person's face is very strange. There is always a strange smile on his face, which makes him look a bit creepy. ...In addition, when he came out of Qinglian Hall, he was still wearing the holy clothes of our Fire Lotus Sect."
Shi Xuanzi asked again: "What weapon did he use?"
The guy paused for a second and then replied: "Uh... it's a knife."
"Oh? Another swordsman..." Shi Xuanzi groaned, and then fell into thinking.
After a while, Shi Xuanzi made up his mind, spoke again, and said to the minions: "Well... you can give the order now and ask the heads of the four halls, red, blue, black and white, to come to the main altar to obey orders; I also ordered people to go to the city gates everywhere and inform the general flag officer there and our self-taught brothers... and said that from now on, Jining City will be 'no entry, no exit'. Violators will be punished as members of the party, even those wearing the holy robes of our Fire Lotus Sect will not be exempted."
…………
At the same time, outside Jining City, there was a post house.
Even if it is an inn, there will always be one or two good rooms.
And the one who heard the jade picked up was naturally in the upper room.
At this moment, there are people in the room, food on the table, and wine in the glass.
But... the person he invited to drink didn't arrive.
Wen Yuzhai doesn't often wait for others, because usually others are waiting for him.
Of course, if he has to wait, he can be patient.
He once stood in the ice and snow for a whole night in order to eat a fresh winter fish caught from the ice cave by "Jade Diaosou"; he also once stood on a mountain road in order to kill a horse thief who was not very famous. I waited for three whole days and nights.
Sometimes he waits for others for enjoyment, and sometimes for commitment.
No matter what the motivation is, as long as he thinks it is "worth it", he can wait without being impatient at all.
And today's guest is undoubtedly... worth his wait.
Bang——
Just when the dishes on the table were about to get cold, the person Wen Yuzhai was waiting for finally arrived.
The man didn't come in through the door, but jumped in through the window from outside.
Fortunately, Wen Yuzhai didn't close the window of the room, otherwise the two of them would have had to drink in the cold wind outside after the other party's collision.
"Good work." Most of the time, Wen Yuzhai was very calm; for example, right now, not only did he not show any surprise or displeasure at the other party's behavior of jumping in through the window, he also calmly praised the other party's behavior. Qinggong.
Of course, he didn't exaggerate. After all... this is also the third floor, and the other party only made a sound when he opened the window, but there was no movement at all when he landed on the ground.
"What's this?" And the brother who came in through the window was also rude. After landing, he just said casually and walked straight to the table. Without waiting for the host to say "please", he loudly Ladi sat down at the table, put his sword aside, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"Your Excellency has been late for so long and suddenly came in through the window. Don't you plan to explain a few words?" Wen Yuzhi asked.
"No plan," the man replied.
"Ha..." Wen Yucai smiled, "I have always heard that the 'Three-Character King' behaves surly and is different from others. Now that I see him today... he really deserves his reputation."
"Let's get down to business." The three-word king didn't want to talk to him. It was time to eat vegetables, eat vegetables, and drink wine. Anyway, he only said three words when replying. There was no delay in eating and drinking.
"Okay, I like it when people talk quickly." Wen Yuzhai said casually, "I heard that as long as the price is right, you are willing to take on any job?"
"That's right." The Three-Word King continued.
"Besides the price, do you have anything else to pay attention to when doing business?" Wen Yuzhai asked again.
"It depends on your mood." The three-word king said.
"Hahaha..." Wen Yuzhai laughed again, but there was no smile in his eyes. "Then I won't mince words. Let me ask, if I invite you to go to Wujian Villa to kill people...do you dare?"
The chopsticks in the hands of the three-character king stopped.
This time, he looked at Wen Yuzhai for a few seconds, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said, "Swordmaster?"
"Exactly." When Wen Yu picked up this sentence, his eyes were staring directly at the eyes of the Three-Word King, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth... That look was like the "evil" in some TV series. The charming and arrogant domineering president" was attacking Silly Baitian with his eyes.
"I can't take it." The three-character king refused quickly.
"Why?" Wen Yuzhai frowned slightly, "I haven't said the price yet."
"Can't beat him." And the Three-Word King gave him a very good reason.
"Oh?" Wen Yuzhai's eyes changed slightly, "How do you know you can't beat him? Have you ever fought against Xiao Zhun?"
"None of your business?" The Three-Word King didn't want to answer this question.
"Ha... I'm sorry, it was Wen who was rude." Wen Yuzhai said, picked up the wine glass and raised it respectfully, "I'll punish myself with one drink."
The Three-Word King ignored him and watched him finish drinking.
After Wen Yuzhai drank, he smiled and said, "However, you don't have to make a decision so quickly, because Wen has other conditions that he didn't mention."
"You tell me." The Three-Word King responded in an impatient tone.
Wen Yuzhai nodded and continued: "Xiao Zhun's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, and Wujian Villa is even more masterful. If you want to take Xiao Zhun's head by yourself, it will be difficult to reach the sky... Therefore, I have never I don't intend to let you go alone." He paused for half a second, raised his hand, and made a "seven" gesture, "I want to gather seven people, and you... are one of them."
As soon as these words came out, the Three-Character King's expression changed a little. He thought for a moment and then said: "Which seven?"
Wen Yuzhan replied: "There are only three people I have identified so far, one is you, one is the hero Haicangfeng of 'Canglong Hidden Peak', and there is another person...named Xiao, you should not know him, but he He is in Jining City now, I have been chasing him for several days, and I should be able to catch up with him tomorrow."
The three-character king looked at Wen Yuzhai and frowned: "You don't count?"
"Ha..." Wen Yuzhai smiled bitterly, "I would also like to count, but unfortunately my martial arts is not suitable for joining these seven people."
"How do you say it?" the three-character king said.
Wen Yu said: "To kill Xiao Zhun, there are three difficulties - one is to break the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to One' formation at Wujian Villa; the other is to defeat the nine most outstanding men under Xiao Zhun. The swordsman is the 'Nine Heavens Sword'; and the third thing...is that after overcoming the first two difficulties, you still have to face the sword master's peak sword moves..." He paused, "I want to hear what a certain person has learned. As we know, in today's world, if you want to pass these three levels, you can only gather the 'Four Swords and Three Swords' and recreate the legendary 'Seven Absolute Swords Formation'."
"Ha..." Hearing this, the Three-Word King suddenly laughed, "Interesting..."
When Wen Yuzhai saw this, he also raised his brows: "Your Excellency, are you interested?"
The Three-Word King did not answer the question, but asked: "Let's talk about the price first."
As soon as the three-character king said these words, Wen Yuzhai knew that the deal was basically completed.
"Wen knows that for a job like this, where you only get some money, you must look down on it, so..." When Wen Yuzhai said this, he reached into his arms and quickly took out something. .
The Three-Word King is also a person who has seen big scenes, but at this moment, when he saw the object that Wen Yuzhao took out, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in a surprised tone: "'True Hero Order'" ?”
Wen Yuzhai was not surprised by the three-character king's reaction. In fact, this reaction was quite calm.
"Wen Mou has done something for Jianghu over the past few years, so two years ago, 'Senior Zai' gave me this True Hero Token as a thank you. As for me... I have always been... There is no chance to use it." Wen Yuzhai calmly continued, "If you don't give up, after the matter is completed, this order will be given to you as a reward. Of course... Wen will also go to Senior Zai in person afterward to tell Senior Zai, my order It has been transferred to you."
The three-character king hesitated.
It's not that he hesitates because the reward is not worth enough, but because he needs to evaluate whether he can afford it.
The food on the table is cold.
The three-character king also stood up again.
"Your Excellency's answer is..." Wen Yuzhao asked when he saw him getting up.
"Four short," the three-character king responded.
Wen Yuzhai also understood what he meant, so he smiled and said: "Ha... so you can be considered one of the two swords at present?"
The Three-Word King nodded and walked to the window: "I'll wait for you."
