The leader is merciful, spare the life of the pavilion master

When Xue Ce heard that Song Junchen planned to use himself as a bait, he disagreed with life and death.

"Don't worry, I'm good at acting." Song Junchen followed Xue Ce in a fawning manner.

"Find someone to replace you." Xue Ce's face was full of unhappiness and unwillingness.

"Others will show their flaws."

"You will too."

"I won't," Song Junchen blinked, "Don't worry, I just lured people to Guo Zuishan, where the secret guards have been ambushing for a long time, and besides, I have Granny Ye's death net on me, so there will be no danger. "

"No." Xue Ce frowned.

"Isn't there still you and that... Aunt He Xiangu, you have to have confidence in your own people."

"Ling Xiangu," Xue Ce corrected the name, "There is always something in case."

"But you clearly promised me when you were in Nantang!"

"I promised something."

"You said that if you are afraid of your hands and feet, it is difficult to achieve great things!"

"It's different this time." Xue Ce turned his head and looked at Song Junchen very seriously. "What you are going to face are the two great suzerains."

"Because I am the suzerain," Song Junchen was not ignorant of the other party's worries and worries, so he patiently persuaded, "At least on the surface, Xuanpuzong and Suguanzong are decent, self-respecting, I just need to be smart, they have no reason to hurt one The lives of people who don't know a little bit of martial arts, after I go to drag Tianlanzong into the water this time, I will never do this kind of thing again, okay?"

Hearing this, Xue Ce stared at him intently for a while, and finally sighed in compromise, "One last time."

"One last time." Song Junchen raised his hand in promise.

Leaving Song Junchen, Chong Xi and others to discuss the ambush, Xue Ce went to find Ling Xiangu alone.

To the west of Jinli, there is a Peach Blossom Villa. As the name suggests, peach blossoms are planted all over the mountain.

Now this season, the peach trees should all bear fruit.

At this time, Xue Ce was riding on a bay red horse, and walked slowly towards the villa.The peaches here ripen more than half a month earlier than other places. He picked two peaches and ate them along the way. Although the fluff on the outside was a bit pungent, the flesh inside was crisp and sweet, so he thought about taking a few back with him when he left. Give Song Junchen a taste.

Several farmers carrying firewood came down from the mountain. Although they were all surprised when they met Xue Ce's strange face, they still greeted him sincerely.

Xue Ce's face under the hat did not show any expression, and he sat on the horse's back and nodded in response.

Turning the corner, a dense bamboo forest came into view, and a winding path led into it. When you listened carefully, you could hear the gurgling sound of the stream, the chirping of birds mixed with cicadas, and the indistinct sounds in the distance. flute.

This place seems to be better than the chaotic world outside.

After getting off the horse, Xue Ce walked unhurriedly to the fence of a hut, and saw a graceful woman under the apricot tree with her back to him, leisurely playing the brown bamboo flute in her hand.

Watching silently until the flute stopped.

"It's rare for you to come so often." The woman's goose yellow skirt was slightly blown by the breeze, and the crisp sound was ethereal and deserted compared to the ding-dong spring water just now.When she said Qin, she meant that the other party came at a time other than Qingming.

"Excuse me." Xue Ce said lightly.

With a slender hand, she gently inserted the bamboo flute back into her waist, looked at the fallen apricots on the ground, the golden flesh had turned black, and said with some regret: "If you came a few days earlier, you could still eat me planted apricots."

"It's not bad to eat peaches on the way here." Xue Ce tied the horse to the side of the road, bypassed the fence, and walked into the yard.

"You sit first."

The woman pointed to the stone table and stone bench in the corner of the yard, and there were roses planted all over the wall beside it. Then she went into the room and brought out the tea set, and sat opposite Xue Ce.

"Is Bai Yudao okay?" The woman's pretty face is like a half-opened rose. Although it is not as gorgeous as a peony, it always attracts the eyes of passers-by and makes people feel very comfortable.

Xue Ce took the green tea handed by the other party with both hands, and the faint fragrance of the tea penetrated into his nose. He was also thirsty along the way, so he drank two more sips.

"Fortunately," Xue Ce nodded and said softly, "The two masters have accepted new disciples, whose aptitude is comparable to that of you and me."

What he was referring to was Di Sheng, that kid was indeed an astonishingly good martial artist.

"That's natural," the woman nodded and said with a smile, "To catch the eyes of their elders, they must be extremely intelligent children."

"Ah."

The two were silent for a moment.

"You came today to eat peaches and drink tea, right?" There was a sly smile in the woman's eyes, which was a bit inconsistent with the coldness deep in her eyes.

So Xue Ce told the ins and outs of the matter, and Liu Mei squeezed together slightly after the woman heard it.

"When I came to Peach Blossom Village, the three sects were no more than small sects, but now they have changed so much, how dare I..." The woman wanted to say the words "Yuan Longjiao", but she swallowed the latter because of Xue Ce's concern. Go back, "So you came to me to ask me to kill someone?"

Three years ago, she came here to live a life of pure heart and asceticism. Now she is half a person who has escaped from the world. She hasn't killed anyone for a long time, and it sounds strange at first.

"I'll kill anyone, just help me protect him."

"Her?" The woman smiled knowingly, "I didn't expect you to have a sweetheart."

"I'll see you at Guo Zuishan in ten days."

"When did I say yes?"

"Then how can I persuade you to agree?"

"Just don't tell me the name of Ling Xiangu."

"nature."

"By the way, before that," the woman leaned forward, looking at Xue Ce with a strange light in her eyes, "I want to meet your sweetheart."

Two days later, Ling Xiangu really came to Quanwei Building on a little donkey to find someone, and brought two baskets of peaches.

Before Ling Xiangu saw Song Junchen, she never expected that the sweetheart that Xue Ce wanted to protect was a man.

Moreover, he is the owner of the Golden Sparrow Pavilion, who once ranked seventh in martial arts rankings.

"Why do you have no martial arts?" Ling Xiangu was more curious about this, although she knew that it was not appropriate to ask directly, but it could be seen that the other party didn't seem to care much about the loss of martial arts.

"Go down to the river and take a bath, that's all." Song Junchen looked at the handsome woman in front of him, and felt inexplicably fond of him, so he joked.

"I'm afraid it's not Wang Chuanhe." Ling Xiangu also joked.

"Exactly."

"Is everything ready?" Xue Ce interrupted the rambling conversation between the two at the right time.

"When I left Nantang, I had already written a letter for Yi Jing to pass on to the suzerain suzerain. The suzerain suzerain must have already left by now. Xuanpuzong is not far from Jinli, and the news will be received within three days. I just hope that the two suzerains don’t run into each other on the way here.”

"So you made your plans when you were in Nantang?" Xue Ce looked at Song Junchen with an uneasy expression.

Song Junchen came back to his senses, and suddenly realized what he had just exposed, so he smiled, his eyes dodged and he didn't respond.

Xue Ce snorted coldly, feeling that he should teach some people a lesson tonight.

Ling Xiangu looked at the two of them and blinked, then tactfully changed the subject to help Song Junchen out of the siege and said, "Speaking of which, I didn't expect the headquarters of Jinquege to be in a restaurant."

"I didn't plan to be here at first, but it's more convenient for restaurants to look around." Song Junchen hurriedly answered.

"Then I don't know where Pavilion Master Song is from. He shouldn't be from Jinli, right?" Ling Xiangu seemed to be very interested in Song Junchen, looking at him as if checking his household registration and asked, probably because Song Junchen was Xue Ce's "sweetheart". Maybe it's because it's rare to meet the master of the Golden Sparrow Pavilion in the rivers and lakes in person.

Song Junchen smiled and said, "Jinli, who was originally from the capital, came with Uncle Quan. Seeing that this place is nice, he has been staying for several years."

"Who is Uncle Quan?" Ling Xiangu asked curiously.

"I was appointed as the leader of the martial arts alliance." Xue Ce replied on behalf of Song Junchen.

"Bailiquan!" Ling Xiangu exclaimed, and then her eyes filled with disappointment, "I never thought that after more than ten years, I would hear his name again here."

Chong Xi's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, asking for instructions to report something.He came in and saluted the three people who were having a "tea party", and said: "I just got the news that Dugu Xuan, the suzerain master of Suguan sect, has arrived at the inn, and it is estimated that he will be near Guozuishan in two days."

"So fast!" Song Junchen exclaimed, he seemed to have underestimated the speed of ancient vehicles.Doesn't it take at least half a month from Changzhou to Jinli?

"Five days ahead of schedule." Xue Ce frowned.

"Why did he come early?" Song Junchen couldn't figure out why the other party was in such a hurry. Could it be that he couldn't wait to get the exercises on the strange stone?He regretted notifying Dugu Xuan prematurely.

"Maybe they came in advance to see if there was an ambush." ​​Chong Xi speculated.

"Or maybe there are other personal matters to attend to." Ling Xiangu also expressed her opinion.

"Isn't it because I'm going to see Xi Minlou?" Xi Minlou is the suzerain of the Xuanpu sect, if the two met before going to Guozuishan, then this plan would basically be in vain.

"He came alone?" Song Junchen asked hastily again.

"This... so far." Chong Xi also looked uncertain, "But it's hard to guarantee that the suzerain will be followed by guards or something, but we haven't found it yet."

"That's right," Song Junchen couldn't open his brows any longer. Since he was teaching the Qishi technique, the other party would definitely bring at least one trusted confidant with strong martial arts to protect the technique. The enemy obviously has a little more strength. Follow Dugu Xuan closely, if there is any movement, report it quickly."

"Yes." Chong Xi went down after hearing the order.

"If you want to kill someone, why don't you assassinate him on the road?" Ling Xiangu asked curiously.

"I want him to live and act." Song Junchen replied, his brows were still frowning.

Xue Ce stretched out his hand unconsciously, caressing Song Junchen's Chuanzi eyebrows, and said softly, "Don't think so much, just kill him when the time comes."

Ling Xiangu moved her eyes away from the two of them in embarrassment, but immediately glanced over again.

Song Junchen sighed and said, "It would be great if Uncle Quan was here."

As if in response to this sentence, Chong Xi knocked on the door and came in the next second, with a look of joy on his face, he said: "Pavilion Master, Uncle Quan and the others are back!"

Song Junchen's brows instantly widened.
