The devil has too many vests

In the southern border of the Northern Desert, in a certain city.

In the middle of the night, a group of people covered in ancient costumes came to the city gate. After showing their identities, the guards opened the gate respectfully and invited them in.

"Are you sure? The person is here?"

The old voice sounded at a steady pace, seemingly calm, but mixed with uncontrollable anger, like the sky with layers of dark clouds before the thunder was approaching.

Among the crowd next to him, someone was brought up immediately.This is a middle-aged man dressed in coarse cloth and bunts, his dark face is somewhat cramped.

Seeing the old man, the man fell to his knees with a plop, his voice trembling with excitement: "I-I report to the holy envoy, I saw it with my own eyes. This man is almost exactly the same as the portrait handed down in the holy religion. "

"This must be the sinner who blasphemed the holy religion! The villain watched him enter the city with his own eyes... It's just that he lost it later."

Hearing this, the Great Elder of Tianzong, who was wrapped in a dark purple sacrificial robe, stroked a snake-shaped finger on his thumb, and looked sideways at the other person who had been following him all along, his eyes shot out a cold light like a snake:

"You are very familiar with this city. I don't care what method you use, within three days, you must find the person."

"This..." The man hesitated for a moment, his eyes met the cold eyes of the old man, and immediately lowered his head respectfully, "Yes, Great Elder. This subordinate understands!"

The great elder of Tianzong has a harmonious and introverted aura. Among the great masters who have entered the Taoist realm, his Taoist realm can also be called first-class.And there are more than a dozen Tianzongmen around him, each of whom has the cultivation base of insight, and the exercises they practice are from the same school, and the aura around them is faintly connected, which is very tacit.Such a team, in the entire Tianzong, can be called a high match.

And almost the same team Tianzong sent more than one.A dense and large net was cast in all directions nearby.

Just thinking about it for a while made the visitor's heart jump, and he dared not say "no" more.

If it wasn't for Su Xinghan who seized the Hanhai Token first, and then slaughtered the Tianzong main altar, he seemed to have mastered the method of controlling the holy fire and the Hanhai Token. With all these factors, the Tianzong would not have followed him so closely Let go, so many people have been dispatched.

Especially the elder Tianzong who hurried over upon hearing the news, he and Su Xinghan had a deep hatred.

At the beginning, he did not know where he had heard about the Han Hailing, and he secretly planned to get it, and specially sent his grandson to fetch it quietly, and ordered him to go to the main altar together with Tianzong's team...

I wanted to get the Hanhai Token without knowing it from the rest of the Tianzong, but by accident, those people ran into Su Xinghan's hands halfway, not only the grandson disappeared, but also the Hanhai Token.

The matter of the great elder's private pursuit of the Hanhai order was also exposed within the Tianzong, which aroused great dissatisfaction from the leader and other elders of the real power faction.Together they suppressed it severely.

All of this was remembered by the Great Elder on Su Xinghan's head, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of resentment towards other people.

Those who followed him were all the direct descendants of the Great Elder, as well as his disciples and grandchildren, so naturally they all spoke according to his will.

When even someone said: "Speaking of it, those people are too useless. They can't even deal with such a mountain boy, but they want us to clean up the mess."

"Yeah, last time we clearly found the clues. If some people were not too small-minded and insisted on taking over everything, we wouldn't have given that person time to hide. Now we are still taking advantage of the big guy's out It's time to go to the main altar!"

When it comes to this topic, in addition to following the Great Elder's mind, these people also have some resentment in their tone.

After Su Xinghan killed the team where the first elder's grandson was, and took away the Hanhai Token, the first elder immediately rushed to the snowfield to investigate.

As for Su Xinghan, it was the first time in many years that he went down the mountain, and he didn't think about covering up his tracks, so the elders quickly found many clues.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the other elders of Tianzong joined forces to suppress the first elder under the acquiescence of the leader, and naturally took over the pursuit of Su Xinghan and the search for Han Hailing, but in the end it was a joke—not only did they not After catching someone, Su Xinghan took the initiative to kill him.

At that time, all the masters in the general arena showed up, and they were about to surround and kill that ignorant mountain boy.The other party suddenly lost his mind, and together with a few disciples beside him, it seemed that he had used some clever space-shifting formation or spiritual weapon.

And more than half a month later, this person reappeared when all the masters of the main altar were out and the interior was empty, and slaughtered the disciples who stayed behind.It almost makes people wonder if he has calculated it.

Thinking back on these things, even though they knew that the First Elder was a blessing in disguise - if the other elders' subordinates hadn't behaved so badly, the First Elder would not have been let go lightly - but these people still had a strong killing intent towards Su Xinghan.

Tianzong claims to be a holy religion, and many of its disciples are fanatics. They were killed twice in the main altar, which is not stingy to attack the temple in front of the believers.No matter how many conflicts there are among the factions within Tianzong, it is nothing under such deep hatred.

"That kid really deserves to die. After he is caught, he will be served with the highest punishment in my Holy Cult! This time, the Great Elder personally came out, and it seems that his death is coming soon..." Someone whispered in the darkness.

The night was dark, and the only few stars had disappeared. The sky was starless and moonless, and a huge shadow enveloped the pedestrians on the street.

The long wind passed through the street, lifting everyone's robes like a classical drama, and the expressions on their faces were inexplicably weird and weird under the shadows.

The few people who were sent out by the city lord to greet them couldn't help shivering a few times.It's no wonder that these guys are considered crazy outside of Northern Desert.

On the highest floor of a restaurant a few streets away.The man in white stood quietly by the window, his profile was carved like a sculpture, and was gently kissed by the cold evening wind.The ice-carved flower in his hand unknowingly melted and then solidified, while the pink-white flower remained in full bloom.

Suddenly, Su Xinghan's beautiful eyebrows frowned imperceptibly, and the black pupils that had softened a little due to memories suddenly became sharp and clear.

As if sensing something, he suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction.In the dark night, Su Xinghan raised his eyes slightly, as if an invisible sword was unsheathed in the air.

"Zheng-!"

The sudden appearance of the sword light tore the surrounding darkness into two halves.

·

"Zheng-!"

A long sword chant seemed to come from a dream.

Yan Weilou woke up, with a look of doubt on his face just now, the tip of his nose immediately smelled a very light, very faint smell of dust, which is the unique smell of a house that has not been lived in for a long time.

He got up and opened the window, and immediately a handful of sunlight came in, hitting his face softly.

What came into view was an empty house, with the faint sound of fighting coming from behind the front corner, mixed with the faint sound of conversation.

The doubt in Yan Weilou's eyes dissipated immediately.The boy raised his eyebrows in surprise.

...It was surprisingly energetic to get up early in the morning to compete.

In an open space not far from Yanweilou's room, sand and rocks were flying, and the wind was whimpering. Two figures in midair were entangled with each other. Between the splashing of knife energy and sword light, the bluestone path below was cut out to a depth of an inch. Mark of.

Surrounded by a circle of bodyguards, they all stood and watched.Once he saw that Xie Yu had the upper hand, he couldn't help but applaud loudly and call for his young master.And if Xiao Zheng had the upper hand, these people would all be silent.Make the "double standard" clear.

It's just that after a few moves, the two figures split apart at the touch of a touch, and one of them was kicked out all of a sudden, rolled half a circle in mid-air, and then staggered and landed on the ground.The other person landed slowly, appearing much more relaxed.

Although it was not a life-and-death struggle with all their strength, the difference in cultivation between the two was clearly displayed in front of everyone at this moment.

After Xie Yu staggered a few steps and stood firm, he raised his eyes and saw that he was looking into a pair of indifferent and mocking eyes, which seemed to be mocking him for overthinking himself, his low strength, and even offering to learn from each other.

There was a burst of anger in his heart.

Last night, Xiao Zheng's inexplicable words made him restless all night, but this man is good, relaxed as if nothing had happened.

After the two bumped into each other early in the morning, one was in high spirits, while the other was in low spirits. Xie Yu was unavoidably impulsive and took the initiative to invite others to discuss.The original intention was to relieve depression, but now it is getting more and more depressed.

Yan Weilou, who stood aside and watched the whole process, silently evaluated the fighting power of the two in his heart, and at this moment, the more people came out, he praised softly:

"You two are so accomplished in martial arts! I have suffered from a chronic illness since I was a child, and I have been cultivating at home for a long time. This is the first time I have seen such a wonderful competition."

"Brother Xu seems to be looking a lot better today."

Seeing Yan Weilou appearing, Xie Yu greeted him with a smile, but his expression was a little unnatural.

As for Xiao Zheng, who was still free and easy yesterday, after seeing him, a complex look flashed across his pupils, and his expression was also unnatural.

Yan Weilou didn't seem to understand the change in their faces at all, instead he walked forward with a smile and invited them to have breakfast together.

It was still in the same location in the lobby yesterday, but the atmosphere in the lobby had some subtle changes.There seemed to be some silent undercurrent flowing between the three of them sitting at the same table.

Both Xie Yu and Xiao Zheng were in a daze, not knowing what they were thinking about.Only Yan Weilou was alone, enjoying the delicious food wholeheartedly, as if he was completely ignorant of everything.

If we talk about the change in Xiao Zheng's face, Yan Weilou doesn't understand why.Then the reason why Xie Yu was in such a trance was clear to him, and it was nothing more than something to do with Xiao Zheng's words last night.

The Annan Zhao family's annihilation was considered an earth-shattering tragedy in Jianghu back then.

It is not a new thing to kill people in the Jianghu, and it is not worth making a fuss about killing a family, but there is a precedent of "revenging kindness and revenge" after being adopted like Xiao Wuyi. Before this, it had never happened in this huge Jianghu.

In particular, the one who made such a move was a famous righteous man.

Since ancient times, Shenzhou Haotu has advocated a unique set of ethos, and the people in the rivers and lakes put righteous characters first.There are countless people like Xiao Wuyi whose family blood was severed and were adopted by friends of their parents.

However, after the Annan Zhao family was destroyed, these people in the world seem to have discovered for the first time that adopting a friend, benefactor, or orphan of the blood of a righteous man is actually such a high-risk thing, and the whole family will be exterminated if they are not careful.Xiao Wuyi set this precedent.

According to Yan Weilou's knowledge, after this incident, people in the world were terrified, and the number of people willing to take the initiative to adopt orphans decreased significantly throughout the year. When time passed and the turmoil gradually subsided, many people forgot about it.

It can be seen from this that Xiao Zheng's sentence "Don't follow in the footsteps of the Annan Zhao family" last night had a deterrent effect on Xie Yu!

This sentence only reads the literal meaning, and it seems to be kindly reminding Xie Yu not to forget the end of the Zhao family in Annan, and to be careful to guard against "Xu Yuan" who will avenge his kindness in the future.

Xie Yu, who had been thinking about the benefits he would gain after taking in "Xu Yuan", seemed to have finally thought of the possible hidden dangers behind it.Now that they want to use Xu Yuan to gain fame and wealth, they must beware of possible evil consequences in the future.

The hesitation and struggle in his heart can be seen just by looking at the expression on his tangled up all the way today.

Anyone else would have thought that what Xiao Zheng did was to speak ill of Yan Weilou in front of Xie Yu and slander his character.

But Yan Weilou's way of thinking is unusual.

According to him, Xiao Zheng's words were not so much a kind reminder as a hidden warning.

He saw that Xie Yu's purpose was not pure, maybe he intended to take advantage of Yan Weilou, and simply punctured the other party's dream—didn't the Annan Zhao family also adopted the only son of the famous Xiao Daxia, who left a reputation for unparalleled loyalty in the world , then what?

If the Xie family doesn't want to follow in the footsteps, don't just think about the benefits, it's better to consider the consequences clearly before making a decision, and don't be too reckless.

What's more, after that incident that year, Jianghu Zhengdao's face was greatly damaged.Xiao Zheng came out today, how do you know if there are other people who also remember and silently take care of this orphan of the Xu family?

With Xiao Zheng's warning, Xie's family would feel scruples on the contrary, even if they used Yan Weilou, they would not dare to squeeze him too much, and his treatment in Xie's family would be much better - if he was really the one who was raped all over the family. The words of the young master Xu Yuan Xu who was destroyed and lonely.The other party's words may improve his situation.

Thinking of this, Yan Weilou couldn't help sighing again: "Brother Xiao is really a good man."

Xiao Zheng, who received another good person card out of nowhere, raised his head out of nowhere, and met the young man's smiling eyes.

He could feel that the other party said this from the heart, with unparalleled sincerity.

Compared with the vicious cursing and cursing and frightening flattery, this kind of overly sincere praise made him uncomfortable.Xiao Zheng lowered his head, gulped down a glass of wine, and responded vaguely.

It seems a little more unnatural than before.

Seeing this, Yan Weilou gave him a suspicious look.I don't know what to think of, and there is a slight look of surprise in my eyes.

... He probably guessed the other party's identity.

After having breakfast in the post station, Xie Yu's mood has quickly returned to normal.

At any rate, he was taught and raised by the head of the Chengyun Escort, and he has led the team out several times alone. His mental state is still good enough, and his attitude towards Yan Weilou has returned to the original intimacy, but now this intimacy There is a little more sincerity in it.

If the original Yanweilou was a banner, a symbol, and a label symbolizing "Xu's successor" in his eyes, then the current Yanweilou has become a living person.

After the attitude changed, the person's speech seemed more pleasant, less routine and more sincere.

"It's only a day's journey from here to Chengyun Escort, and we're going to continue on our way. I don't know where brother Xiao is going? It would be great if we can continue walking together."

Outside the post station, after reloading the carriages, Xie Yu stood in front of the carriages and asked politely.

But Xiao Zheng agreed straight away: "It happens that there is still half a day to go on the way. Since Mr. Xie sincerely invites you, then I will not be polite."

As he said that, he stepped into the carriage first, his movements were very neat, without any hesitation, and he even praised: "This carriage is good and comfortable. Mr. Xie really enjoys it!"

This specially remodeled carriage has a very spacious interior, and the horses that pull the carriage are not extraordinary, it is said that they have a thin blood of monsters.It is more than enough for three people to sit in the car, and it is not crowded.

This time when he went back on the road, Yan Weilou felt much happier.A few days ago, there were only him and Xie Yu, and every word they said seemed to be bragging about business, and it was boring to pass the time.

It was different after Xiao Zheng joined.

This person speaks and acts a little unscrupulously, sometimes he looks like a walking stick, but he has to say that he is very knowledgeable, no matter what topic he talks about, although his views are sometimes too extreme compared with the mainstream of the world some.

What's more, even if Xiao Zheng is a stalker with every sentence, it is not Yan Weilou who is stalking, but Xie Yu.As a bystander who has nothing to do with himself, Yan Weilou doesn't feel that the journey is boring even if he enjoys this sound movie.

But Xie Yu obviously didn't think so. He couldn't bear it anymore, and asked tentatively: "I heard what Brother Xiao said before, and I just came from Dayong a few days ago. Could it be that Brother Xiao is from Dayong?"

"No. I was born in Dongli. It's just that I've been traveling all over the world these years. This time I came here to meet an old friend."

Xiao Zheng replied with a smile, and couldn't help but look at Yan Weilou again: "What plans does Mr. Xu have in the future?"

Yan Weilou smiled wryly, expressing that he hadn't made up his mind yet.

The young man's pale face was obscured by the shadows in the carriage, but there was a look of deep thought in his lowered eyes.

He always felt that Xiao Zheng paid too much attention to himself, or to the character "Xu Yuan".It seems that he regards it as some kind of responsibility of his own, and he must arrange "Xu Yuan" well before he can rest assured.

If one day, this person knows that the identity of "Xu Yuan" is a fiction, I don't know how he will react :)?
