Sun Xi raised his head and looked at Shen Li standing outside the door.
The young man's expression was very calm, and the dazzling sunlight shone on his shoulders, as if he was carrying the sorrows of the past and present.
As for Yang Baiye who was side by side with Shen Li, Sun Xi automatically ignored it and there was nothing to pay attention to. Shen Li was the one she cared about most in Qifeng City. They were the same kind of people. They seemed to be blessed by God, but in fact they were deeply cursed. .
Mu Twelfth Mother was helpless and hid in the courtyard. She didn't even know where to look.
Who would have thought that a seemingly gentle girl could turn into a ruthless murderess in the blink of an eye?
The death of those good players in Pingkangfang was vivid in her mind. Thinking about it now, she felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.
Mu Twelfth Mother felt regretful in her heart. She shouldn't have come to Pingkangfang to get involved in these things.
Yang Baiye observed Sun Xi for a while, then turned around silently: "You guys chat, I'll go outside and look out. Twelve Niangs, you can come with me."
As if she had received a huge favor, Mu Twelve Niang trotted out of the yard with Yang Baiye.
"Whose yard does this belong to?"
She had never lived in Qifeng except recently. Suddenly having a yard made Yang Baiye wary.
Mu Twelve Niang hurriedly explained: "The courtyard belongs to Miss Ping'er of the Flower Viewing House in Pingkangfang. She once asked me for a favor and gave this house to me. Mr. Yang can rest assured. Miss Ping'er said that the house is She bought it secretly without anyone knowing."
"Well, I understand."
Even after hearing the explanation, Yang Baiye was not relieved.
He knew very well that as long as someone wanted to investigate, there were very few things in the world that could be hidden.
It's just more and less delaying.
"Tell me about Sun Xi's origin."
Mu Twelve Niang was very worried and spoke in detail.
Nicknamed Yongmao, his reputation spread far and wide. She had met the young master of the Yang family several times. He seemed to be unruly, like a playboy who idled around all day, fighting cocks and lackeys. After Yang Baiye's last show of kindness, Mu Twelve Niang actually thinks that he is a good person. Even if he is not a good person in the true sense, he is not a bad person.
In today's world, Yang Baiye's character is already quite rare.
After listening.
The eldest son of the Yang family frowned deeply: "You don't know her?"
Mu Twelfth Mother shook her head, "I don't know her, and I don't know what happened, but somehow she agreed to stay. I thought about her over and over again these days, but I still couldn't remember that I had her as a distant relative. "
"Don't think about it. Trust your intuition. You just don't have this distant relative."
"That……"
Yang Baiye laughed: "It's just a small trick in the world to deceive you into favor."
"Ah!" Mu Twelve Mother never expected that in the end, Sun Xi would lie to her.
So, what is Sun Xi’s purpose?
It can't really be her, the cat-loving songwriter, right?
"If you think about it carefully, has Sun Xi behaved differently since he came to you?"
"Difference?"
There happened to be two people who were originally residents of the alley passing by.
This man had a white beard but unusually black hair. He looked about sixty years old. It was rare to see a beauty like Mu Twelve Niang. He couldn't help but slow down and his eyes stopped on her.
"What are you looking at, brother?"
Mu Twelfth Mother felt uncomfortable being stared at, and Yang Boye asked with a smile.
The man scratched his head in embarrassment: "I have never seen such a beautiful woman in the Chinese New Year paintings."
"Haha...my sister has been pretty since she was a child."
"That's right, she's even prettier than the fairy in the painting." As he spoke, he walked in no hurry and stood three steps away from Mu Twelve Niang. The hand scratching the back of his head seemed to have nowhere to rest, floating in the air. Don't know what to do next.
Mu Twelve Niang heard from his accent that he was an honest and loyal old man, so she didn't take it to heart. She just wanted to wait for him to see enough and leave quickly.
Yang Baiye stepped forward slightly, blocking Mu Twelve Niang with half of his body without leaving any trace: "Brother, do you have anything else to do?"
"Oh, no, no, nothing will happen to me. Looking at you, we must not be ordinary people from Fulu Lane, right? We are all bitter people, how can we dress as well as you?"
"Brother is right, we are indeed not."
"Are you here to visit relatives?"
"No, my sister bought this house and planned to use it as a place to rest."
"As expected, they are all rich people." He sighed quietly, "But there are so many good places in Qifeng, why did you choose this dilapidated alley like ours?"
"Brother, you are asking too much." Yang Baiye blocked Mu Twelfth Mother with his whole body, and he faced the old man directly.
The old man raised his head and looked at Yang Baiye: "I have heard of you. You are the eldest son of the Yang family. The great swordsman of the Yang family praised you as the embryo of a swordsman who is rare to see in a hundred years."
Yang Baiye pretended to be relaxed, but in fact he was attentive, "Brother is joking. There are countless swordsmen in the world. People who are more talented than me are like crucian carp crossing the river. My ancestors' jokes have spread to the rivers and lakes unexpectedly."
"No, no one knows except us. Because we planted spies in your Yang family."
"It turns out it's him. The Yang family has already noticed it, but because they don't know who did it, they kept him as bait. Now that my elder brother has come forward and admitted it, we know that the force that planted the spies is the Copper Coin Society."
This is tearing off the mask.
"Brother, do you really think you are my opponent?"
"I am a third-grade Chaolu realm martial artist. I have more experience than you. The number of times I have survived in death is definitely not comparable to that of a child from a family like you. You have learned all the techniques of the Yang family's Great Sword Immortal, so you may not be my opponent. "
The old man's smile was kind and kind.
"What I really want to kill is Mu Twelfth Mother. We originally thought that a pretty girl would not cause any trouble, and we thought in all kinds of ways, but we did not expect the Xingxiu Cult's true intention of instigating Twelfth Mother. Just use her as a bait. It doesn’t matter if the fish doesn’t bite the hook. It’s just bait. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. Once it bites the hook, it’s a big deal with huge profits.”
Yang Boye shook his head: "Brother said it wrong."
"Your Copper Coin Club's guesses about Mu Twelfth Mother are all wrong."
The old man's smile deepened: "Tell me, where did we guess wrong?"
"Mu Twelfth Mother is not a bait, she is just a chess piece to divert your attention. Shangguan Xi knows that you will use your tactics to threaten her and send out a lot of false information, but you are still willing to keep her, in order for her to contain part of your strength and give Xingxu Give the helmsman a little more time to prepare.”
"What if we fail at the beginning?"
It's too late to say all this.
From the beginning, the Bronze Coin Society did not make up its mind to fight against the Xingxiu Sect. Instead, in order to be sure, they deployed troops from various places and wanted to take down the Xingxiu Sect without any risk.
Since we are doing big things, there is no guarantee of success.
The Copper Coin Society is making intensive preparations and has indeed mobilized many martial arts masters. The Xingxiu Sect is also preparing, waiting for Shen Li and other experts to arrive.
Moreover, before a large-scale war started, the Copper Coin Society lost several upper-level fourth-level masters one after another.
If there is an expert in copper coins, it is time to shake hands with the Xingxiu Sect at this moment to avoid a complete defeat.
Yang Boye joked: "If this is the case, the Xingxiu Sect can retreat calmly and come back slowly when you think you have succeeded and are satisfied."
"Is this how Shangguan Xi arranged it?"
"Otherwise, why didn't I confront you in the city and retreat outside the city?"
"Our team of experts died in your hands, right?"
"Brother, you can take a guess."
"Haha... The eldest son of the Yang family is a bit interesting. Will your Yang family participate in the war?"
Yang Baiye was getting more prepared. As soon as the old man showed signs of taking action, he would go all out to take action. "I am the eldest son of the Yang family. If I die, the Yang family will be heartbroken, right?"
There is no direct answer, but a sideways answer.
"I understand."
"What are you waiting for, brother?"
The old man turned around and saw a figure outside the alley. She was a charming girl with loose black hair. She was wearing a red military uniform. The sword hanging on her waist was half unsheathed. The blade was vaguely red, as if blood was flowing. .
"You can't swallow this tone of the Copper Coin Society, otherwise the Jianghu people will look down on us, so we must make some noise. Young man of the Yang family, we will not kill you, so as not to provoke your ancestors of the Yang family, but behind your back Mu Twelve Niang and the two people in the house must die. After they die, the vice president of the Copper Coin Society will prepare a heavy gift that the Xingxiu Sect cannot refuse and come to apologize. From now on, our two families will not be in conflict with each other. "
Mu Twelve's eyes were completely attracted by that girl.
It was impossible to tell her age, but she had the youthfulness of a girl, the charm of a woman, the tenderness and sweetness of an old lady, and even Mu Twelve Niang saw the dullness of an old woman.
She is a very weird girl.
Mu Twelve Mother has never seen any woman like her.
since she appeared.
Yang Baiye seemed to be under a restraining spell. Not to mention drawing his sword, even if he had murderous intent, he couldn't do it.
He sighed quietly, and waited until the girl walked up to him lightly, then asked: "I heard that there is a third-grade Chaolu Realm genius hidden in the Copper Coin Society. This person never leaves anyone alive when he enters the arena, and the weapon in his hand Swords, swords are eccentric and pursue the ultimate killing power. Good people in the martial arts world say that the younger generation of swordsmen must choose a person who has the best chance of becoming a first-class swordsman in the future. The genius hidden in the copper coin collection must be one of them. One of them, and one that cannot be avoided. I wonder if this person is a girl?"
The girl stood where the old man originally stood, while the old man stood aside respectfully. She slowly opened her red lips: "Your chance is to kill Shan Bo and escape before I come. As the eldest son of the Yang family, you, You are so stupid, can’t you see that Uncle Shan is deliberately looking for words to delay you?”
"How did you find this place?"
"Mu Twelfth Mother's house was given to her by Ping'er, right? What a coincidence, Ping'er happens to be one of ours. This house was originally just a casual chess piece, but at the critical moment, Ping'er was sent to her. use."
The girl drew her sword out of its sheath: "Have you never heard my name?"
"No." Yang Baiye sighed.
"Listen up, after this battle, you have to help me spread the word that my name is Fu Hongye."
Yang Boye finally asked: "Miss Fu, is there really no chance of recovery?"
"The Xingxiu Sect has killed so many of our masters. If it were you, do you think there is any chance of redemption?"
"Is Miss Fu so sure to kill us?"
Fu Hongye rubbed the hilt of the sword with her thumb: "Since I'm here, I will definitely kill them. Besides, Bi Jingye is one of my few friends. If you kill him, you must give me a chance for revenge."
"Well, it seems that there is really no room for change between us."
