Chapter 377: Fighting against each other
Li Xintian just said a soft hum, and the fair boy understood the other party's doubts. He smiled and explained: "I have some things to do today and need to go to town, but I thought you would come in the afternoon, so I will wait for you here first and then go together."
Li Xintian smiled slightly and said softly: "If you have something urgent, you can go first without waiting for me."
Yi Xifeng scratched his head and said with a smile: "Before you come, is there anything urgent?"
The girl's clear eyes looked over, staring at the fair boy for a moment. Yi Xifeng quickly fell into defeat under this gaze. As a person with a mature soul, it is natural that sometimes he will say some love words from his past life intentionally or unintentionally. However, although the little girl in front of him is already over 1.6 meters tall, in terms of emotional cognition, he is still only nine years old. .
Even though the children of Jianghu have been exposed to fighting and killing very early, and are much precocious compared to the little girls in their previous lives, they are still a little immature in terms of emotions.
"So... is there something urgent?" the fair-skinned girl blinked and asked curiously.
Yi Xifeng smiled bitterly and explained: "I didn't have it when I was waiting for you, but I have it now! Follow me."
After saying that, the two of them left the open space.
…
The old man surnamed Zhong listened to Xing Haifu's words with a gloomy face, and then remained silent for a long time.
Xing Mu, who was on the side, sighed to himself. Sure enough, the brothers were okay at fighting and using their brains. Only the second brother, Xing Lin, had inherited some of the old man's wit.
"Master Xing, I understand what you mean. Helian Haixin wants to trouble me, Yinren, because of Helian Tiexin's matter." The old man said in a deep voice.
Xing Mu raised his eyebrows and didn't answer. In the past, the title "Master Xing" naturally referred to him, but today it was a little different. This time they were both here at the same time. This title could only refer to his father.
Xing Haifu put down the wine bowl and grinned: "To be honest, I don't know the details. The instruction I received was to kill him. As for who you want to ask us, I can't say, sorry old man, but you can think He is the enemy of the Helian family."
The old man surnamed Zhong nodded. It was very difficult for him to be a deacon. He had seen many such things that hindered each other in the world.
As the saying goes: the noble families are at odds with each other. That's the kind of dirty thing he's talking about.
"Okay, in that case, we also need to verify the clues you provided. If it is confirmed that Helian Haixin is really within the scope of Yinren Town, then I will accept this entrustment!"
Xing Haifu and Xing Mu looked at each other. Although the result of this pay list trip was not as smooth as they initially thought, as long as the other party agreed to do it, even if the process was a little tortuous, the impact would not be big.
Deacon surnamed Zhong sent them back to the first floor, and asked the attendant to give them a bag of tea before leaving. Originally, when he and Xing Mu were chatting in the tea room, the old man said casually, and Xing Mu didn't expect that the other party actually brought him.
Xing Mu looked at the small bag of tea in his hand and felt something in his heart. It's no wonder that Yinren Village has risen so quickly. Judging from this small thing, this salary list organization seems to have a complete response system.
In essence, Xingwutang or Xingshi Escort Agency are doing the same business as this salary list organization, but they are very different in terms of scale, influence, and formality!
Old Mr. Xing walked alone in front of him. He had changed from the businesslike and greedy appearance of a small businessman before. Xing Mu knew that the old man's previous attitude was for the other party to see.
"Amu!"
Seeing Xing Haifu calling him, the middle-aged man responded in a low voice: "Dad, tell me!"
"It would be difficult for our family to avenge the second, third, fourth and fifth children!"
The old man sighed softly, no longer paying attention to the Xingmu behind him, and walked onto the official road alone.
Xingmu naturally knew how difficult it was. Ever since he escaped from Shui Yuntian that day, he knew that he should have been sold by Ji Shen to help them. The battle of the surprise attack on Liangchengang was most likely a show performed for the people in the county after the competition between the various forces. Otherwise, he would not believe it if he were killed. A few days ago, Tiexin Village, which was still a village with many strong people, unexpectedly continued to do so. Didn't make it through three days?
Before Xing Haifu and Xing Mu came here, they had been planning to borrow Yinren's knife to kill Helian Haixin. This kind of method of diverting trouble to the east is naturally what their Xingwu Hall is happy to see.
After all, there was a gap between Yinren's side and the Helian family. Even if Helian Tiexin was not taken seriously by his family, he was still a descendant of the Helian family. He was killed so quietly. If the Helian family could still live in peace with him, wouldn't everyone in the world be able to shit on the Helian family in the future?
It was with such a small calculation in mind that Xing Mu chose to conceal Helian Haixin's true strength from the beginning. He originally planned to let the assassination operation in Yinren Town end in failure, leaving Helian Haixin to The news was passed back to the family, and then if they took action, Yinren would naturally take the blame.
It's a pity that they underestimated the strength of the salary list organization, or they underestimated Helian Haixin's reputation. In fact, there is another important reason for this, which the Xing family father and son don't know.
Due to the plan for Tiexin Village, Yinren Town has been preparing for many years. Regarding the details of the Helian family, the salary list organization has been investigating and paying attention to it many years ago. So let alone family celebrities like Helian Haixin, even the core members of the salary list have a relatively detailed understanding of the movements of Helian Jing and others.
…
Yi Xifeng did not choose to go to the Presbyterian Church. Although it was not difficult to get in based on his relationship with Lin Hengshan, the fair boy was not a simple ten-year-old boy after all. He had a seventeen-year-old soul and had his own opinions on many things. judgment.
Compared with Lin Rufa's true temperament, Lin Hengshan is more far-sighted and sees things more thoroughly. In front of this old man in linen clothes, the fair-skinned boy always felt like he was being seen through. Although the other man had no ill intentions, he still didn't like being stared at for a long time.
On the contrary, Lin Rufa, who has always been thick on the outside but delicate on the inside, made Yi Xifeng more able to appreciate the sense of care of "the elders in the family".
So when he encountered something, apart from Li Chengqian and Li Chengtao, the two masters who taught him his skills, Lin Rufa was his most trusted elder.
The fair-skinned boy and the fair-skinned girl wearing a white cloak were not slow in their movements. Soon they passed through the deciduous forest and arrived at the Blacksmith after passing a few blocks.
Speaking of which, since Yinren was transformed from a village into a town, the scope of activities of the people has become much larger than before. The dense forest near Liangchengang in the past has also been reclaimed and houses have been built. Liangchenggang, which was previously a strategic fortress, has gradually changed its original positioning and gradually turned into the trade distribution center for the entire Yinren Town.
You must know that Liangchenggang was originally built for Tiexin Village. Now that Tiexin Village has been annexed, its strategic significance is not much left.
As for the investigation of Luoye City, the northern camp is much more timely and efficient than Liangchengang.
The blacksmith building remains the same as before and has not been expanded further. The guards at the door naturally recognized Yi Xifeng and Li Xintian. They were both the younger ones among the twelve martial arts masters, and they were relatively well-known in the village's martial arts system.
What's more, Yi Xifeng is also the boss behind Qingxin Winery. Tie Yi, a strong man in the village who works as a guard, must have a profound impression on him!
However, in recent times, Li Xintian's fame has slightly overshadowed the fair-skinned boy. After all, beauties are popular no matter where they are.
The guard standing at the door was stunned for a moment when he saw the girl in a white cloak, and then looked at Yi Xifeng with some envy.
Yi Xifeng pretended to be calm and nodded to the other party, then walked in with Li Xintian. But the young man was secretly happy: Hey, how is it? Looks good, right? hey-hey……
Li Xintian noticed the boy's raised corners of his mouth, blinked his eyes, and a smile appeared in his bright eyes.
Although she sometimes didn't understand many of Yi Xifeng's sudden love words, this was not because the girl had low emotional intelligence. It was just that she had not been exposed to these things since she was a child, so her reaction was a bit slow.
Sometimes, when Yi Xifeng said something and she didn't react for a moment, Li Xintian would always keep it in his mind and think about it carefully. Slowly, she could follow the fair boy's thoughts.
It was precisely because of the girl's intentions that she and Yi Xifeng had such a tacit cooperation that the fair boy himself didn't even realize it. Because he has the memories and habits of his previous life, except for Lin Fenghuo, who he grew up with, there are very few peers who can really understand him.
And Li Xintian can be regarded as the person who understands him best, no one.
Soon the two walked around several independent courtyards and finally found Lin Rufa next to a huge stove.
"Why are you two here? New girl, did this boy Xifeng bully you? I'll beat him up!" The black-faced man asked angrily, and he was about to punch the fair boy.
Li Xintian was raised by Li Chengqian and Li Chengtao, and she is nominally their sister. Li Chengqian is a few years older than Lin Rufa, and Li Chengtao is a few years younger than Lin Rufa. Naturally, the three of them are considered brothers, not to mention that their fathers are both the first generation of Yinren.
So in terms of seniority, Li Xintian and Lin Rufa are the same generation, similar to Qi Chengcheng, so they both have to call Lin Rufa the eldest brother of the Lin family!
Yi Xifeng said with some embarrassment: "Uncle Lin, I'm the one looking for you, Xintian is here with me."
Lin Rufa raised his eyebrows and muttered: "You kid, you will definitely do nothing good if you come to me!"
The fair young man smiled and said shyly: "That's because I have to trouble Uncle Lin to continue forging my night sword Han Xing!"
Lin Rufa had a dark face and said in a deep voice: "Hmph, if you want to use Three Thousand Irons, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. Before you reach the level of chivalrous person, you will only feel uncomfortable using weapons with Three Thousand Irons!"
Yi Xifeng drooped his head and muttered: "Hey! Isn't it because you can't bear it?"
The middle-aged man's eyes widened and he shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, is there anything else? It's okay, get out of here!"
Yi Xifeng no longer bothered about the matter. After all, he still lacked a lot of materials he needed, and he was not in a hurry. So he told the other party in general what happened when he met Xingmu at the salary list stronghold.
"Are you sure this person is the leader of the surprise attack on Liangchengang that day?" Lin Rufa asked with a solemn expression.
Yi Xifeng nodded. They had fought against each other at Liangchengang. Although Xing Mu also put on a certain disguise when entering Yinren Town this time, no matter how a person changes, it is difficult for his eyes to change.
And Xing Mu's acting style is quite dignified, so it is not difficult for people who have seen him to recognize him.
"This kid is very smart. I will implement this matter."
At this time, a voice came from behind the stove, and then a tall, thin, middle-aged man came out from behind.
"I've seen it before, Mr. Zhao!" Yi Xifeng was startled at first, then bowed and said.
Although Lin Rufa's status in Yinren Town is not low, and his status is even higher than that of Zhao Yunming, after all, he regards Yi Xifeng as his junior, so it is okay to be casual.
But the fair boy would not be so naive as to think that everyone in the town regarded him as his nephew. The Zhao Yunming in front of him was the real power figure in Yinren and the actual controller of the salary list organization.
At the same time, he also has another identity, that is, one of the six major Yinren families, the contemporary head of the Zhao family. His brother Zhao Yuntian had been lurking in Tiexin Village for a long time and was naturally unable to manage everything in the family. The position of head of the family fell into the hands of Zhao Yunming.
Zhao Yunming was deeply impressed by this fair young man. The first time he met him was on the stage of the martial arts competition. He single-handedly defeated Zhong Lingxi, who was very powerful. You must know that although the eldest lady of the Zhong family is a bit arrogant, she still has strength. Even if she is not the strongest among her peers, she is not something that any young man can easily defeat.
After that, Yi Xifeng's performance was even more eye-catching. He first followed him across the border to fight, and then attacked Helianborg at night. In the subsequent battles, he relied on his super recovery ability to fight until the end.
When facing Ji Rentu leading the cavalry to surround Liangchengang, he showed calmness and tenacity far beyond his age.
If we say that among the twelve martial arts actors in this performance, he is most optimistic about Zhou Di in terms of qualifications, and he is most optimistic in terms of future development prospects, but it is this handsome and tough young man.
"Master Lin, I can't get involved in this matter of forging, but the beauty of adulthood is also a virtue!" Zhao Yunming said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhao, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. He is so ambitious that he doesn't know how many bowls of rice he can eat. Hum..."
As he spoke, Lin Rufa glanced at Yi Xifeng again.
…
"who is it?"
Suddenly, a shout sounded from beside me! Yi Xifeng subconsciously pulled out the dagger behind him.
"Don't be nervous, you are looking for me." Zhao Yunming smiled and stopped Yi Xifeng who was about to take action.
It turned out that the shout just now came from Li Xintian beside him. Under conditioned reflex, the fair boy was ready to draw his sword and fight. At this time, he was stopped by a tall, thin middle-aged man, and Yi Xifeng noticed that a figure suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall.
This person is dressed as a mountain patrol, and his identity goes without saying.
The man lowered his hood and couldn't see his appearance clearly, but judging from the outline of his face, he seemed to be young.
The man first glanced sideways at Li Xintian, but only paused for a moment before moving away. He said solemnly to Zhao Yunming: "Sir, there is news from the northern stronghold."
So fast! Yi Xifeng was startled. He had discovered it in advance, but he didn't expect that after only being delayed for an hour on the Kendao Trail, he would notice something was wrong with the salary list?
Zhao Yunming's eyes lit up and he said softly: "Speak!"
"Deacon Zhong has sent word that the Yunxi Xing clan has commissioned a heaven-level killing mission!"
Yi Xifeng frowned and thought to himself: Killing mission? Heaven level? Are they planning to ask someone from Yinren's side to take action?
With doubts, the fair boy listened to the mountain patrol member and roughly explained the whole incident.
…
What is the relationship between Helian Haixin and Helian Tiexin? Is it really because of Tiexin Village? But why did the people in Yunxi County tell us about this?
All kinds of questions flashed through the mind of the fair boy, but this was no longer a problem that he needed to worry about. With the identities of Xing's father and son, combined with the clues provided by Yi Xifeng, Zhao Yunming must be able to find out the other party's true plot.
After listening to the young man from the mountain patrol team, Zhao Yunming smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said with emotion:
"The general always said before that the world is not all about fighting and killing, but more about worldliness! Whether it is the Helian family or the Xing family, if you really want to get any benefits from our Yinren Town this time, you have to be prepared to be beaten. We are fully prepared.”
