Zhen Guojiang

They drove away from Zongpeng, the place next to the Gobi, Zhong Lixu sat casually on the carriage, Xizhen meditated silently from there, Yunxiao silently held a miscellaneous book in a corner, Yan Xia was driving outside , Shen Yu accompanied him with his empty body, they marched for about ten days, and they could reach the Wulin League in four days.

Yan Xia saw a town in the car, he opened the curtain of the car, and said to Xi Zhen: "There is a small town ahead where you can buy some dry food."

Xi Zhen opened his eyes, and after getting off the carriage, he saw the small towns in front of him. Maybe it was almost lunch time, and the smoke from the kitchens in the city seemed peaceful and peaceful.

He said to Yan Xia: "This place is called Zhelin. I have been here before, and there are several restaurants in it that are very famous."

Yan Xia said: "Then how about we go over there to have a meal before leaving?" They survived these ten days on dry food and water for their journey, and saw the smell of rice wafting ahead, and the people in the car were really hungry.

Xi Zhen said, "Let's go."

Maybe it was near noon, Yun Xiao was a little sleepy, she read half of the miscellaneous books, her face was almost pressed against it, the carriage stopped, she seemed to be dreaming of something, she woke up suddenly, she felt her heart beating, she gasped for breath , to calm the discomfort in his heart, seeing her like this, Zhong Lixu asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Yun Xiao felt sorry for her, and said, "Front, there is a lot of malice."

Zhong Lixu frowned, Yan Xia and Xi Zhen naturally heard it too, Xi Zhen was a little puzzled why Yun Xiao would say this, but seeing Yan Xia's serious face, he knew there might be something ahead.

Xi Zhen said: "It seems that we really want to take a look. After all, we may not have heard news from Jianghu for a long time."

The group of them came to the gate of the city, and there was extremely strict interrogation at the gate. Yan Xia and the others looked at the guide over and over again. The policeman didn't want them to go in, but after seeing Xi Zhen's name, they struggled for a long time and let them in.

The people around pointed and pointed, and they heard some people complaining during the pointing, so they realized that a tragedy happened here a few days ago. It is said that the Zhuo family, a big family here, was bloodbathed by a gangster, and all [-] people died. very strict.

After Xi Zhen heard this, his face was sad, and his voice was melancholy: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen in such a peaceful place that does not compete with the world."

Yan Xia saw that although there were people coming and going in this town, everyone was vigilant and hurried, and said, "Maybe we came at the wrong time, or maybe we came at the right time, let's go and eat."

They came to a restaurant, a two-story pavilion, and the inside was very clean. Seeing Yan Xia and his group, Xiao Er hurriedly asked them to choose a seat. have……"

Before Xiao Er reported it, a crisp voice sounded, and a girl in white with a pretty face said, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

When Xi Zhen heard a familiar voice, he was startled. He looked at the girl in white. He recognized who the girl in white was. He had told three rumors before Zhong Lixu in the farewell sect. This girl was the protagonist of the second rumor. It was Sang Wei, Bishui Qingxiao's disciple. Back then, she held a sword in her hand and challenged him over and over again. The more she fought, the braver she became. One day after that, she came in the dark and said, "I don't want to compare, I want to go back!" It's gone." Then he left Xi Zhen with a chic back.

Xi Zhen never saw her again. When they met this time, Xi Zhen remembered those malicious slanders. He was about to get up to apologize when he saw another woman in white clothes coming from afar. When Sang Wei saw the woman, she smiled brightly and said softly, "Senior Sister, you are here."

Seeing Sang Wei's appearance like this, Xi Zhen was startled when he thought of the rumor, he sat down slowly, thinking that the rumor was not groundless, maybe they really loved each other.

When the cold girl came to this table, Sang Wei said: "This is my senior sister, her name is Sang Le, the leader should know him, young hero Xi Zhen, you are really good, you really got the leader back."

Sang Le frowned slightly, her voice was cold, and when she spoke, she felt a cold wind blowing around her, and she said, "I've seen you all."

Sang Wei looked at Yan Xia Yunxiao, and asked, "Young Xia Xi Zhen, are these two people who rescued the leader with you?"

Xi Zhen replied: "Yes." He looked at Yan Xia, paused, and said: "This young master is called Jia Xun, and his sword skills are very good." He glanced at Yunxiao and said: "This girl It's called Yunxiao, and its lightness kung fu is excellent."

Sang Wei was surprised and said: "You are so good, you can be recognized by Xi Zhen like this, we will have a competition when we have time."

Sang Le frowned, Sang Wei felt a chill, coughed twice, and said: "Let's forget it, I don't have time later."

Zhong Lixu interjected: "You are here for fun, right?"

Sang Wei looked at Xiao Er, burst out a bunch of dish names, and said, "Go ahead, prepare and serve."

Xiao Er left after hearing this, Sang Wei sat down carelessly, and said in a very soft voice, "You should have heard that a big family here was brutally exterminated."

Xi Zhen and the others also sat down, Xi Zhen felt a little uncomfortable, and said: "I heard a little."

Sang Wei sighed: "It was Tianhuang's disciple Su Tuo who did it, but I don't believe it. I have competed with Su Tuo in martial arts. He is very powerful and very chivalrous. He will not slaughter the family for no reason. Besides, they have no enmity." , we met a while ago, he said at the time that the Zhuo family wanted him to deliver something for him, and he rushed to the Zhuo family because of this, maybe it was because of that thing that Su Tuo was so cruel, but Is there no logic? If he does this, he will definitely be punished by the world, what kind of wealth can make him commit such a heinous crime."

Sang Le's cold voice sounded: "Master Qianxiao."

When Yan Xia heard the name, she was startled. Sang Wei saw that Yan Xia was a little strange, and asked, "You know?"

Yan Xia relaxed slowly, and said, "I heard that too."

Sang Wei said like spitting out beans: "National Master Qianxiao has never heard of it before. Suddenly, his legend spreads all of a sudden. I don't know where it started. It's just a former national teacher. There are really so many of them." Wealth, and why there was a national teacher in the previous dynasty, it’s so strange, and there are no monsters, I guess the emperor was fooled by pretending to be a ghost.”

Yan Xia thought about Shen Yu's ability back then, so that none of the rumors about him and the gods and ghosts were passed down. He glanced at Shen Yu by the window, and suddenly remembered that only Jing Minghong and his friends knew about it. He and Yunxiao only talked a lot. He didn't expect that the rumors about the treasure would spread so widely in such a short period of time. He thought that maybe Jing Minghong's friend betrayed him, or Jing Minghong accidentally exposed himself. Picking up the teacup by the table, he suddenly remembered the sudden change of Jing Minghong's attitude and that apologetic look in Yunxiao's eyes when he separated from them. He looked at Zhong Lixu, the corners of Zhong Lixu's mouth were slightly raised at this moment, and Yan Xia instantly confirmed the truth of the rumor. source.

Yan Xia looked at Yunxiao, Yunxiao bowed his head and said nothing, he sighed in his heart.At this moment, Xi Zhen said: "Would Tianhuang Su Tuo really do such an unconscionable thing for a rumor?"

Sang Wei sighed: "I don't believe it, so I'm here."

Xi Zhen asked, "What did you find out?"

Sang Wei looked around and saw no one coming, said: "It's strange, it's very strange, Zhuo's family is located in Tsing Yi Lane, there is a quiet place in Zhelin, and it is a place where some rich people gather in Zhelin. Tsing Yi Lane is the two largest families. Although the others are not as good as these two families, they are considered wealthy. I went to ask, but no one knew how the Zhuo family died. They only said that the tragedy happened at night, and they didn’t hear the call for help. It's just that the gate of Zhuo's house has been closed for several days, they felt strange, went to inquire, opened the gate and found a courtyard full of dead people, now no one knows where Su Tuo is."

Yan Xia felt that something was wrong, and said: "The Zhuo family is the family of Zhelin, there should be buyers coming in and out every day, how could they not find out."

Sang Wei frowned after hearing this, and said: "I also went to investigate. The person who delivered the vegetables fell ill in those few days, and the Zhuo family told him that they sent someone to pick them up. The food delivery person was recuperating from his illness, fearing that the Zhuo family would no longer order his family's food, who knew such a coincidence."

Xi Zhen doubted: "Is it such a coincidence?"

Sang Wei also had doubts on his face, and said: "I also thought it was a coincidence, so I went to the pharmacy to check, and it turned out that there was a record of buying medicine."

Sang Wei was still sighing, but at this moment Sang Le said, "This is similar to the disciples of the Canghuang Sect that year. They all suddenly went crazy and slaughtered everyone, but the place is different and the time is different."

Every time Sang Le said a word, Xi Zhen felt the pain in his body was aroused. He felt the flesh and blood on his body being lifted away, and he was covered with the pain of peeping. He can't forget the hatred that hid in Piao Miao Guan day and day without sleep.

His voice was a little hoarse: "Since that's the case, I'm included. I want to participate, and I want to know why Su Tuo did this."

Sang Le's cold voice sounded: "The Wulin League urgently needs the leader to return."

Xi Zhen looked at Sang Le and said, "I will do it as soon as possible."

Seeing that Xizhen was so concerned about this matter, Sang Wei said: "My senior sister means that the martial arts league is in chaos now. After the leader disappeared, rookies are eager to show themselves, and the old seniors are fighting for power. Now the old leader can still suppress, but the martial arts According to Meng Fei’s old leader’s family, there will be less trouble if we go back earlier, and the only remaining venerable of the pagoda is dead, plus the treasure map, the world is really chaotic now.”

After hearing this, Xi Zhen glanced at Zhong Lixu with warning eyes, but Zhong Lixu only gave him a wry smile.

Xi Zhen said: "I will stay here for three days, and after three days, I will leave regardless of whether the results of the investigation are found."

Sang Wei said: "With all of you joining, I believe this matter will definitely come to fruition."

At this time, Xiaoer served the dishes, all of which were Zhelin's delicacies. First, a few boxes of exquisite pastries were served, followed by a plate of small fish fried until golden, and a plate of fat and delicate fish, all stewed and fully cooked. , cut open the fish maw to reveal the white and tender fish meat inside, pour a layer of special sauce on top, and smell the appetite, and the third whole big goose is marinated just right, and it is cut very well by the chef's superb knife skills Consistent, crispy fried in the pan, very beautiful on the plain white plate...

Although they didn't get all the food, Yan Xia and the others had already eaten dry food for several days, and they were really hungry to match this delicious food. Xi Zhen said: "Let's eat first, and after we finish eating, let's go to Zhuo's house to have a look."

Sang Wei was tired from working all morning, and said: "Of course, the sky is big and the earth is big, so eating is the biggest."

Xi Zhen glanced at the pale Zhong Lixu, and specially ordered a bowl of porridge and a few light dishes. For some reason, Zhong Lixu felt that he really liked Xi Zhen more and more.
