The night was dark, starless and moonless.

In a small tavern by the river, dim lights flickered.

"Sister, why do you think the young master hasn't come yet? Could something have happened?" There were three women sitting on the table facing the entrance of the tavern.Two of them look about seventeen or eighteen years old, and they look very similar. They both have round faces, round eyes, and two small dimples on their lips. They are a pair of twin girls. The difference is only In terms of demeanor, the woman in light yellow clothes is lively, while the woman in apricot yellow clothes is demure.The other woman was obviously much older, wearing red sandalwood clothes, with two swords stuck in her waist, her expression was much more solemn, and her face was meticulous.The one who spoke at this moment was the woman in the goose-yellow dress. She stretched her neck and looked out the door, eagerly looking forward to something.

"Shut your crow's mouth quickly. Since the young master ordered us to wait here, he will come naturally. What are you in a hurry for?" Although the woman in the apricot yellow dress said so, her eyes were still looking at the door. , for fear of missing the slightest movement.

The middle-aged woman was the calmest, always sitting there expressionless.

About another incense stick of time passed, and a vague figure came faintly in the night.

"It's the young master!" The woman in the goose-yellow dress called out immediately.

"Don't worry, Jian Bing, there seem to be two people here." The woman in apricot yellow clothes put one hand on Jian Bing's shoulder, signaling her to calm down.

"Huh? That's right, why are there two people? Didn't Brother Qingsong come back early?" Jian Bing said, and also looked intently into the night.

When the two came from the depths of the night, the three could clearly see that beside their young master was a very handsome and good-looking man.The man was wearing a dark blue embroidered gown, his hair was coiled up by a long bamboo hairpin, he was tall and slender, his eyebrows and eyes were as good-looking as the lady in the boudoir, but he was sick, his face was pale, and his lips were tightly pursed. But it was extraordinarily red, and her footsteps were vain.

However, these three people didn't have much thought to waste on irrelevant people, and their eyes soon fell on the person supported by this good-looking man.I saw this person's face was pale, his lips were gray, and his white shirt was covered with blood. He even had some difficulty walking, relying on the support of the people around him, but he was unwilling to lean his body against him, as if he was afraid that he would put his body on the ground. The people around me were crushed.

The two people who came were Xiao Muzhi and Lu Zili who had escaped from Ghost Shadow's pursuit.

"Young master, are you injured?" Seeing Xiao Muzhi's appearance, Jian Bing couldn't help but rushed over to help Xiao Muzhi, "Are you seriously injured? I want my subordinate Fei Ge to send a letter back to the alliance." Do you want Dr. Xun to come?"

"Ahem." Xiao Muzhi forced himself to stand up straight, waved his hands, and said, "No need." He pointed to Lu Zili, and said, "He is a very good doctor."

"Caiyu has met the young lord." Seeing Xiao Muzhi, Caiyu first knelt down, then got up and said, "Young lord, please go into the tavern and rest for a while. We have already reserved the tavern. Even the shopkeepers in the shop were sent away by us." They made an appointment to meet here because it is a remote place with few people, it is not easy to be found, and there is a tavern that is convenient for meeting.

Xiao Muzhi nodded, and the group returned to the tavern just now.

After Lu Zili and Jian Bing supported Xiao Muzhi to sit down, Cai Yu immediately closed the door.

"Is the carriage ready?" Xiao Muzhi asked.

"Everything is ready, is the young master going to the branch hall in Qinzhou first?"

"Yes. But go quietly, don't let others know. Did you release the news that I was killed by the ghost killer?"

"Yeah." Caiyu nodded, and while talking, put two cups of hot tea in front of Xiao Muzhi and Lu Zili respectively: "The news has been released, and it is said that you were chased by ghosts all the way and sank into the river You have disappeared, and the Ghost Shadow people probably think they have succeeded. Now except for us, the four guardians in the alliance, Master Zhongli and Section Master Zhao, no one knows that you are still alive, young master."

"Okay, the less people who know about the fact that I'm still alive, the better, so that it will be easier for me to arrange the next thing." Xiao Muzhi said.

"Next, are you going to lure the enemy into deep?" The middle-aged woman who had been silent by the side asked at this moment. Her voice was as calm as hers, but from the tone of her voice, it could be heard that, Her status is obviously higher than the two maidservants, Chui Yu and Bing Bing, and she even seems to be on the same level as Xiao Muzhi.

"Yes, Aunt Bai." Xiao Muzhi said, "I don't know how many people in the rivers and lakes are staring at the Qingfeng League. Let's take this opportunity to let them all surface, so we can catch them all."

"Aunt Bai" is Bai Su, one of the four guardians of the Qingfeng League, and is Xiao Muzhi's aunt in terms of seniority.Bai Su nodded and agreed with Xiao Muzhi's actions, then her eyes fell on Lu Zili: "Is he in our plan?"

"Yes." Xiao Muzhi briefly explained Lu Zili's background, and finally added a special sentence, "Thanks to Zili's superb medical skills, he was able to protect me. From now on, treat him as you would treat me." generally."

Hearing what Xiao Muzhi said, Bai Su immediately frowned. She was cautious by nature, so it was impossible for her to trust this man whom she met for the first time. She wondered why Xiao Muzhi trusted this man so much.

She couldn't trust Lu Zili even more. In her heart, only Doctor Xun, who was in his 70s or [-]s, could be called a famous doctor. This Doctor Lu looked terminally ill, let alone treating her young master.

Cai Yu didn't like it either. Looking at Xiao Muzhi's injuries, he knew that this journey must be a fierce battle, but compared to Xiao Muzhi's scars, this Lu Zili didn't have any injuries at all. Obviously, there were many injuries along the way. My young master is protecting this man.Now they want them to treat him like Xiao Muzhi. She and Jian Bing have been by Xiao Muzhi's side for five or six years, and they have never seen Xiao Muzhi treat anyone like this.

Lu Zili greeted the three of them politely, but didn't say much.

For a while, everyone was speechless, they just got a carriage and carefully supported Xiao Mu to get on the carriage.

After the Qingfengmeng was established, more than a dozen branch churches were established all over the country.Each branch church runs the local money shop and rice shop, and also helps resolve some grievances and grievances on the site of some branch churches.

After crossing the Yangtze River, the nearest branch church is in Qinzhou.

It took more than an hour from this small tavern by the river to the Qinzhou branch.

When it was time for the branch church in Qinzhou, the sky was still not clear.

The carriage stopped at the side door of a house, Bai Su, Cai Yu, and Jian Bing were already waiting outside the carriage, but Lu Zili had already fallen asleep with the jolt of the carriage because of his sleepiness.

Xiao Muzhi couldn't bear to wake him up, but he was injured and couldn't hold Lu Zili for a while, so he gently patted Lu Zili's back with his hand, and slowly woke Lu Zili up.

Jian Bing couldn't help muttering in a low voice outside the carriage: "Sister, when did the young master gain such a good friend? How come we never knew?"

"Maybe, something happened when we were not with the young master these days." Cai Yu said.

Zhao Jingmian, head of the branch hall, had already prepared the courtyard on the east side, tidied up the rooms, and removed all the idlers.

Qing Song had been waiting at the Qinzhou branch hall for a long time. He originally wanted to discuss the next plan as soon as he saw Xiao Muzhi, but seeing that Xiao Muzhi was seriously injured, he could only leave the discussion for tomorrow.

Because the news that Xiao Muzhi was still alive could not be known by more people, they were the only ones living in the entire east wing room.

The Qinzhou branch hall was built so large that even one room per person would be more than enough.But when several people helped Xiao Muzhi into the room, Xiao Muzhi took Lu Zili's hand and said, "Zili stay with me, I can come to you at any time if I feel unwell at night. "

She originally wanted to say that this kind of thing should not be guarded by her and her sister?Why change to someone else?

However, Cai Yu stopped her in time, and Jian Bing didn't say anything.

Bai Su also frowned, only Qing Song was a martial artist, he didn't pay attention to these at all.

Lu Zili thought about it, and felt that it was because of him that Xiao Muzhi suffered such serious injuries several times, and he should really take care of him, so he agreed.

Although the branch hall of the Qingfeng League is not magnificent, it is also extremely elegant.

Naturally, the best wing room was arranged for Xiao Muzhi. The bedding in the room was all newly changed, and the incense in the beast stove exuded a faint fragrance.

After waiting for Xiao Muzhi to wash and take medicine, Caiyu and Bingbing went to the next room.

Lu Zili changed Xiao Muzhi's medicine and then went to bed. Anyway, the two of them are used to sleeping together these days, and they don't think there is anything wrong with sleeping together.Of course, it was much more comfortable to sleep on the red tent warm bed.

Before going to sleep, Lu Zili said in a daze, "You used your true energy on the river that day, and now the residual poison has mixed with your true energy, and it may be difficult to clean it up."

With a faint smile on the corner of Xiao Muzhi's mouth, he said, "Don't worry about Zige, with you by my side, I won't let anything happen to me."

"En..." Lu Zili didn't know if he heard it, but he was already sound asleep.

Silent all night.

The next morning, while Lu Zili was still asleep, Xiao Muzhi woke up first.Because he was afraid of waking Lu Zili up, he didn't let Taiyu cut ice into the room to wait for the wash. He quietly put on his clothes and closed the door to go out.

In the living room of the East Wing, everyone else was already waiting there.

Originally Xiao Muzhi was injured, so he should rest for a few days before discussing matters, but the situation is urgent, Xiao Muzhi can only discuss matters with his injuries.

"My subordinates will see the young leader." Seeing Xiao Muzhi coming out, everyone stood up and greeted him.

Xiao Muzhi sat on the main seat at the head, Qingsong and Hallmaster Zhao were on the left, Bai Su was sitting on the right, and sisters Caiyu and Bing stood on Xiao Muzhi's sides.

Xiao Muzhi briefly talked about what happened these days.

Originally, Xiao Muzhi left the Qingfeng League not to crush Jade Guanyin, but because of the Yizhou branch.As the saying goes, good luck and misfortune never come singly. Originally, Xiao Rong's disappearance was already a major event. Immediately afterwards, the branches of the Qingfeng League were plotted against in various places, and the losses were not small, especially the branch in Yizhou. It was taken over by someone.Among the four guardians of the Qingfeng League, Feng Lan took people to find Xiao Rong's whereabouts, Qing Song and Bai Su were dealing with the aftermath of the branch churches in various places, Yue Lang and Zhong Lifu were stationed at the headquarters of Chang'an, and Xiao Muzhi went to Yizhou alone.Just as the people in Yizhou were settled, Xiao Muzhi heard the news about Nianyu Guanyin.It is said that Wushuangmen picked up an official's dart, but was robbed by members of the Tongtian Gang on the way, and the dart this time was Nianyu Guanyin.

Xiao Rong made his fortune and established the Qingfeng League based on two points, one is the son-in-law of the Taifu, and the other is the Nianyu Guanyin.Nianyu Guanyin contains the world's most precious treasures, the highest martial arts, the best art of war, and a large amount of gold and silver treasures.Xiao Rong relied on his Pingyang swordsmanship to stand alone in the martial arts world, and obtained the approval of the Taifu with a volume of military books, and then used this treasure to develop the money houses and rice shops all over the Qingfeng League.

But with Xiao Rong's disappearance, Nianyu Guanyin also disappeared.When Xiao Muzhi got the news, he went to the Tongtian Gang to find Nianyu Guanyin, but he didn't expect that the ghost killer was waiting for him.It seems that one after another, someone has long been hiding in the dark and plotting against the Qingfengmeng.

"Ghost", Bai Su mused, "To dispatch more than [-] ghost killers at a time, this is already the number one hunting order. Looking at the whole Jianghu, there are not many people who can afford this price."

Qingsong patted the table, and said, "Besides the grandsons of the Four Sects, are there other people?" The Four Sects refer to Jiuhua Pavilion, Fengwei Villa, Xiangsi Valley and Mu Xuecheng. It is the four most famous sects in the world.

"But at least on the surface, the four major sects have a good relationship with us. Master Wen of Jiuhua Pavilion is the young master's junior sister. Master Shen of Fengwei Villa has a gentle personality and is not easy to fight. The master of Acacia Valley Liu has always been on good terms with us. Even if we don’t have much contact in Mu Xue City, at least we have a deep relationship.” Bai Su analyzed one by one: “On the contrary, besides the four major sects, there are many hidden forces that we don’t understand, such as ghosts, No one in Jianghu knows who his leader is."

Everyone nodded. Although Bai Su usually doesn't talk much, once he speaks and analyzes it, there is usually nothing wrong.

Xiao Muzhi said: "Aunt Bai, you should send a letter to Yue Lang today, and ask him to check the recent actions of Wang An, the young master of the prince. This time, the Jade Grinding Guanyin was sent to him."

"Okay. Wang Ansu has always been at odds with Bai Taifu, but if he wants to target the Taifu's mansion, he should not start with the Qingfeng League." Bai Su thought for a while, and then said, "There is also the matter of Yizhou. I don't know what the young master has. What discovery?"

"Yes." Xiao Muzhi said lightly, "Master Xie died under the Tianhe Fall."

"Xiang Family's Tianhezhui?" Zhao Jingmian said, "But with the strength of the Xiang family, it is impossible to fight against a branch of us."

"So there must be someone behind the Xiang family." Bai Su said.

"To be able to instruct the Xiang family, and to invite ghosts, such an opponent should not be underestimated, let alone we know that he is in the dark." Zhao Jingmian said.

"Since they have done so much, their ultimate goal must be to completely destroy the Qingfeng League." Bai Su said.

"That's right, so we can't be led by them all the time," Xiao Muzhi said coldly, "It's our turn to attack."
