he doesn't use a knife

Everything in the dream became hazy and difficult to understand.

Mu Chang's face gradually turned into a phantom that cannot be studied deeply.

There was only one other figure, clear and complete.

Like a person who has been thinking about it day and night, just like that, he walked into a dream.

But in the blurred outline of that face, it was only him.

Duan Yishuang understood accordingly.

The person who asked this question was not Xue Lanling.

—but himself.

Xue Lanling has returned to the Qidaomen.

He neither knew Duan Yishuang's dream, nor heard Duan Yishuang's self-questioning.

He only sat for a while, then opened the door and left.

Xue Lanling is not very busy.

But as the "confidant" of the master of the Seven Knife Sect, he must have a lot of things to do.

Zhu Xie is not strict with him.

It can even be said that none of the tasks he has completed can be called absolutely dangerous.

——Those dangers can be avoided by those who have the heart, no matter how high or low the martial arts are.

In this way, Xue Lanling returned to the Qidaomen.

However, he did not go to see Zhu Xie.

He knew that Zhu Xie would definitely come to see him first.

Maybe it was late at night, or maybe it was dusk.

But not in the morning.

Because Zhu Xie will bring wine, Zhu Xie will never come at the brightest moment of the day.

That's not good for drinking.

Xue Lanling guessed right.

He had met Yanliu Huakui in the Jinhang Tower, so his identity was no longer a secret in Zhu Xie's eyes.

He didn't deliberately let Yanliu Huakui hide his identity.

As long as Zhu Xie wants to know, then Zhu Xie will definitely know.

——Even though Yanliu Huakui and Zhuxie no longer have friendship.

But the end of the friendship does not mean that the transaction will disappear with it.

Zhu Xie used to like to go to Jinhanglou.

It doesn't mean that Zhu Xie won't go now.

Zhu Xie liked Yanliu Huakui before, but it doesn't mean he still likes Yanliu Huakui now.

All things change.

But the interests of each other are difficult to give up easily.

So when Xue Lanling went to Yanliu Huakui and let the flow take its course and asked about Qidaomen.

He was already ready to meet Zhu Xie.

Not as an elite killer and sect master.

But in the identity of Xue Lanling and Zhu Xie.

Zhu Xie is also ready for this.

Zhu Xie carried two jars of wine, at dusk when the sunset glow was the strongest, and when the sun was the reddest.

Zhu Xie and Xue Lanling stopped on a hill not far from Qidaomen.

They sat on the ground, didn't care about the dirt and dust, and didn't deliberately choose any scenery.

It is only suitable for looking at the mountains in the distance, for blowing a gust of wind, and watching the overgrown weeds.

There isn't any scenery worth admiring.

There are no wine tables either.

The goblet was on the ground, with the jar, and with them.

But the wine must be clean.

Because they want to drink wine into their stomachs.

So even if the dust here can make clothes, shoes and socks dirty, the wine brought by Zhu Xie will still be clean.

Zhu Xie poured two glasses of wine first.

Zhu Xie said: "You went to the Jinhang Tower and asked about the Qidaomen."

Xue Lanling said: "Not bad."

They cut to the chase without exchanging pleasantries.

Maybe it's because they know each other very well, and the meaningless hypocrisy is just a waste of time.

Zhu Xie said again: "You can ask me directly, but you don't have to ask Yanliu Huakui and the others."

Xue Lanling said: "If I'm just a killer in the door, then the answer I get may not be the answer I want."

Zhu Xie asked, "Why do you want to know about the Seven Swords Gate?"

Xue Lanling asked in a low voice, "Why do you think I want to know?"

Zhu Xie said, "You have your reasons."

Xue Lanling said: "You can guess my reasoning."

Zhu Xie said: "Why don't you ask some questions, and let me slowly guess what your reasoning is."

Xue Lanling smiled faintly, picked up the wine glass, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Xue Lanling asked: "Do you think I have enmity with Qidaomen?"

Zhu Xie said: "This is my first thought."

Xue Lanling asked: "Do you think I have an old relationship with Qidaomen?"

Zhu Xie said: "This is my second thought."

Xue Lanling asked: "You think again, I'm just curious about the Qidaomen, and I don't have any other purpose?"

Zhu Xie said: "This is what I think now."

Xue Lanling said: "I'm really curious about Qidaomen, and want to know why Qidaomen is a killer organization."

Zhu Xie said: "The Seven Knife Gate was not a killer organization in the past."

Xue Lanling said: "I already know about this past, but the reason why I want to inquire about the Seven Knife Gate is because I still want to know - how many things the Seven Knife Gate knows."

There is a lot of meaning in his words.

It is impossible for Zhu Xie to take this profound meaning for granted.

These deep meanings only mean that Xue Lanling's purpose is hidden here.

Zhu Xie pondered for a while and asked, "What do you want to know through the Seven Swords Gate?"

Xue Lanling said: "If I say it directly, then Sect Leader Zhu will appear very insincere."

Zhu Xie had no choice but to pour him a glass of wine.

Zhu Xie said, "You already know my identity."

Xue Lanling asked, "Master Zhu, does he want to talk about his previous identity or his current identity?"

Zhu Xie said, "What's the difference between your previous identity and your current identity?"

Xue Lanling asked lightly and lightly: "What do you think, Master Zhu?"

It was like a bloodless confrontation.

Zhu Xie raised his head and drank a glass of wine.

He sighed: "That's right. I used to be a member of Baiyang Villa, and I even took the position of Dharma protector. I was highly valued by the owner, and I did a lot of things for the owner. Just like you now."

Xue Lanling's eyes did not fall on him.

Those eyes were staring at the high mountains in the distance. It seemed that there was an extremely beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain, which made people unable to move their eyes away.

Zhu Xie said again: "But I am very different from you, because I never thought of asking, what is Baiyang Villa? I just think that the owner of the owner uses me, and I will do countless things for the owner. I want to repay the landlord for his kindness."

Xue Lanling said: "But now you are the master of Qidaomen."

"That's right, I'm just the master of Qidaomen now, not the protector of Baiyang Villa." Zhu Xie took a deep breath and continued in a deep voice, "The reason why I came to Lingmen City is to be the gate of Qidaomen. Lord, but because of the owner's order."

Xue Lanling replied indifferently: "I would like to hear the details."

Zhu Xie said: "The owner of the village gave me a very special task that year. He asked me to go to Lingmen City, a place called Qidaomen. The owner said that Qidaomen has no reputation in the world, and even Few people know about it, but this organization is very important, so I must gain a firm foothold in Qidaomen and do good things for the village."

"I trust the owner very much. It is the owner who gave me the opportunity to succeed, so that I can be a respectable person in the village, instead of a beggar on the roadside or a fish at the slaughter. This makes me have no hesitation. I Promised the owner, and vowed to complete this task."

Zhu Xie poured another glass of wine for himself and drank it all. He continued: "At the beginning, I came to Lingmen City and suffered a lot because no one knew the whereabouts of Qidaomen. But I This task must be completed, so I put in a lot of hard work, and finally, I got the chance to enter the Seven Swords Gate."

"At that time, the Qidaomen did not have a full-moon gathering, but the Qidaomen also had a mission—but it was not killing people. The Qidaomen at that time was actually an intelligence organization."

The so-called intelligence organization, just like the Tianji Gate, can understand the big and small things in the world, and even secret things.

There is only what they are unwilling to say, and there is nothing they cannot hear.

But that's why!

Therefore!

"That's why!" Zhu Xie suddenly picked up the wine jar and took a sip of wine, "As I understand the Qidaomen more and more, and when I am appreciated by the owner of the gate, I know more and more. I just thought! What am I! I'm so pathetic, pathetic, even shameful! I hate myself, I even want to kill myself!"

"But I can't," Zhu Xie said with pain in his eyes. He curled his fingers tightly and said in a trembling voice, "I swear, the owner of the villa is also kind to me. After the death of the door owner, I will take over as the door owner. The owner is very satisfied with me and asked me to hand over all the information in Jianghu. With the Seven Swords Gate in my hand, I can subvert this intelligence organization."

Xue Lanling said: "But you are now the master of the Qidaomen."

Zhu Xie said: "That's right, I didn't listen to the owner of the villa, and I didn't hand over all the information on the rivers and lakes. I betrayed Baiyang Villa."

Xue Lanling then cast his eyes on his face.

Those gazes were gentle and charming.

Xue Lanling asked, "Why?"

Zhu Xie replied: "I don't want such a person to get any information from Jianghu! I don't want any of it! He does have the grace to know me, but when I am the head of the sect, I can read more information. Then I know that any kindness in this world can be faked! There are many things in the world that I don't understand enough!"

Xue Lanling said: "So now you have become the master of the Qidaomen. Not only have you nothing to do with Baiyang Villa, but you are also at odds with Baiyang Villa."

Zhu Xie nodded: "This is the best thing I did."

"It is precisely because I am lingering in this dark place where almost no one knows that I can stay awake and not become a puppet and tool of the owner! I can be a person, not a weapon in his hand!" Zhu Xie's voice Filled with hatred, "One day, I will go out!"

Xue Lanling smiled lightly and said, "You will go out."

Zhu Xie looked up at him.

Zhu Xie suddenly said: "Your sword technique is very good. I seem to have seen it before."

Xue Lanling said: "I don't know how to use a knife, I use a dagger. But..." He said softly, "A dagger is also a short knife."

——"I met a man when I was young, and we all called him a drunkard. A drunkard likes to drink, no matter where he goes, he must hang a wine gourd around his waist. He taught me boxing and how to take away other people's wine with a dagger. Life taught me a lot, and I regarded him as my teacher, friend, and confidant until he died."

Xue Lanling lowered his eyes and stroked the rim of the glass with his fingertips: "The day he died, it was late at night. When I saw him, he was covered in blood. Except for blood, there was only blood left. But his wine gourd was very clean. A little stain. When I opened the wine gourd, the wine inside was still fresh, very fragrant and clean. It was completely different from his dirty body."

Zhu Xie's eyes trembled violently.

He opened his mouth wide and stared at Xue Lanling in a daze, his heart seemed to be about to jump out.

Xue Lanling said: "Now you know who I am."

Zhu Xie closed his eyes, and he said: "Okay! You... as long as you kill Li Xingchen, I will tell you everything I know and what you want to know!"

After a pause, he added: "Li Xingchen has too many secrets about the owner of the villa. If you capture him, you must torture him before letting him die."

Xue Lanling did not hesitate.

He poured himself a glass of wine and said softly, "I remember."

The author says:

Volume two is coming to an end.

The protagonist of the third volume is Li Xingchen.

About whether the leader likes Xiaoyi, loves Xiaoyi or not.

If you want to know the answer at this time, you will never have the answer.

In fact, one can tell from the previous plots that the leader is a blood-thirsty and world-weary person. He just wants to take revenge and die.

So he doesn't have much time to think about love and love, and he doesn't think love is so great.

And Xiao Yi never coerced the leader with emotion, let alone whether he liked it or not.

The reason they end up together is because their souls can resonate.

Xiao Yi can understand everything about the leader, whether it is world-weariness, hatred, pain, lies, or deceit, Xiao Yi will never question, question, be disappointed or want to take responsibility for it.

Xiao Yi has always indulged the leader, and he stands in a very rational position, not being swayed by love.

This is the reason why the leader will fall in love with him in the end.

Xiao Yi will never ask whether he loves her or not, he understands.
