ten steps one kill

, He is also born close to you, this is the bond between you, it is the evidence that blood is thicker than water, isn't it a matter of course for her to come back to you? "

Jin'e avoided her gaze and said in a low voice: "Xiao Qian... It's good to follow Mr. Feng."

Chi Lian's tone was even more urgent: "Sister Jin'e, you are so stupid. Liu Hongfeng is not related to him, why should he always take care of him and protect him? Aren't you afraid that he will be used? If one day, Liu Hongfeng treats Xiaoqian If not, what should you do?"

Jin'e showed a sad expression, "If such a day really happens, I don't know what to do. But Mr. Feng is highly skilled in martial arts, and he is also a chivalrous man trusted by everyone in the world. It is better for Xiaoqian to follow him than to follow me alone. The woman I used..."

"Then what about me!" Chi Lian argued hastily, "Am I not as good as Liu Hongfeng?"

Jin'e was startled by her tone, shrugging her shoulders unconsciously, trying to avoid her.

This tiny movement was like a needle piercing into Chi Lian's heart, leaving a sharp pain, which made her clenched her fists tightly, and said in a voice almost roaring: "What Liu Hongfeng can give you, I can do everything. Here you go, why would you rather believe a strange man than me?!"

Jin'e lowered her head amidst her roar, not daring to look into her eyes, she took a step forward and pulled Jin'e's shoulders with both hands, trying to force her to turn to her.

Her mood was too urgent, and she unconsciously poured a lot of strength into her hands.Jin'e let out an exclamation, and her shoulders trembled slightly in her palm, like a bird held in the hands of a hunter.

After a while, Jin E said in a low voice: "...you misunderstood, how could I not believe you, I just don't want to add to your burden, don't want to drag you down..."

Chi Lian couldn't help being startled, and the strength of the five fingers was also released, the anger in his chest calmed down, leaving a void.

She focused her eyes on the other person's expression, and saw that Jin'e's face was pale, and her eyes were filled with timidity, looking at her cautiously.

She is very familiar with such eyes. Two years ago, she was injured and hid in Jin'e's room, and she saw the dirty transactions from under the bed countless times. client, then bit his lip to swallow the pain, and put on a false smile.

Those people once made her hate to the bone, but today, she has become like them.

She thought of the appearance of Jin'e standing on tiptoe just now, and felt even more regretful in her heart. This person gave her complete trust to herself, but was trampled and destroyed by herself so roughly.

The love that was supposed to infiltrate her made her ugly, bitter and cold.

She knelt down in front of Jin'e, gently clasped her hands on his knees, and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Jin'e, it's my fault, I shouldn't have said such stupid things to you..."

After a long while, she felt the back of her hands getting wet, and warm tears trickled down Jin'e's cheeks, and landed on her hands drop by drop.

Tears merged into a sea of ​​bitterness, drowning her heart.

When she was silent, Jin E choked with sobs and said: "I'm sorry Xiaoqian, I abandoned him with my own hands back then, and now I really don't have the face to see him, I hope... I hope..."

Too many words are stuck in my throat, and I can't say anything.

"I understand," Chi Lian interrupted her softly, "I won't tell him. When you want to say it yourself, it's not too late to tell him yourself."

Jin E finally broke through her tears and smiled: "Thank you... Actually, I really don't care whether I recognize him or not, as long as he lives well, I will be satisfied."

Chi Lian was silent for a moment, then said: "But, I also hope you have a good life."

Jin'e shook her head: "I'm not worth it... Apart from being liked by you, I'm useless at all, even talking will make you angry."

Chi Lian raised a hand to caress the other person's cheek: "I'm not angry, I just hope you are safe and sound."

"I...I understand." Jin'e closed her eyes and leaned against her forehead.

She twirled her fingers where the other party couldn't see, pinching a hypnotic potion between her fingers.

Same as last night, this potion can make Jin'e fall asleep again, and stay safely in the bamboo courtyard until she returns.

This is the skill she is best at, and she can easily do it with just moving her fingers. Jin'e trusts her so much that she will never notice it.

She almost did that.

But Jin'e suddenly stretched out her arms, went around her shoulders, hugged her actively, and then whispered to her ear: "Xiaohong, thank you for being so kind to me, I promise you my life, no matter what you do Whether it's a man or a woman, a cat or a dog, I will follow you all my life, and I will never let you down..."

Her fingers couldn't help trembling, and the pure white transparent powder flowed away from her fingertips, merged into the wind, and disappeared.

She patted Jin'e on the shoulder and said, "I should go."

"En." Jin'e let go of her, and watched her leave alone into the dim night.

At the same time, Liu Qian was waiting alone in the government office.

This is the place he and Liu Hongfeng chose to live in, but Liu Hongfeng left with the woman in black a few hours ago, and did not return until dusk.

At dusk, the courtyard looked desolate, and the candles to send souls by the tomb had been burning all night, and they had already dried up, leaving only a short stub, which was blown by the cool wind and rolled down from the candlestick along the terrain. Roll to the lowlands.

Even the wronged soul walked on the road to Huangquan, leaving Liu Qian alone in the world. The twilight filled the yard like flowing water, squeezing him from all directions, making his chest tight and he gradually couldn't breathe.

Liu Qian was afraid of the dark.

This weakness has been with him since he was a child, even though he has practiced medicine with his master since he was a child, he has already developed extraordinary courage.Catching venomous snakes and bugs, performing surgery to bleed the wounded, cutting limbs and disemboweling them... What other people see as bloody and horrific scenes is just commonplace for him, and he doesn't even shake his hands when inspecting for poison or cutting up corpses and steaming bones one time.He really couldn't figure out why he was defeated in the face of mere darkness in his lifetime of fame.

Darkness will evoke his vague memories. Whenever night falls, the looming darkness and crampedness make him feel disgusted instinctively. But the past is far away and difficult to trace, and it is difficult to put together a complete clue from the scattered fragments. The master asked about his background, but the master never answered. As time passed, he had no choice but to give up pursuing the matter and pretend that he was picked up by the master in the dark.

He is very strong by nature, even if he rips his mouth open on weekdays, he will never admit that he is afraid of the dark.Only when he was alone did he allow himself to fold his arms tightly, shrink his neck, and show his fragility on his face.

If Liu Hongfeng was still by his side, he only needed to quarrel with him, and the fear would be driven to the back of his mind.It's a pity that this person is missing, and Liu Qian didn't dare to go out to look for it rashly. He could only let the ominous premonition take root and sprout, forming terrible thoughts one after another, torturing his mind one after another.

He took a deep breath, pulled out the dagger at his waist, and held it in his hand.

The blade was facing the wind, and there was a thin buzzing sound, dispelling the dead silence around in an instant.Taking advantage of the situation, he straightened his body, pointed his sword against the wind, and danced in a rigid manner.

His moves are open and closed, with a mighty vibe, just like the footwork of Tianji Sword.

What he recited silently in his heart was also the sword formula secretly memorized in the martial arts field during the day.

——Smooth the sea, rest the wind, never see the green mountains, endless.

This is the world's number one Tianji swordsmanship, aloof and decisive.

It is not easy to control, the power from the dantian impacts his young body and burns his internal organs, but he is intoxicated by this feeling, like a gap in the dark and cramped world, an impenetrable darkness In the middle, a sharp sword light stretched out, tearing open the cage that trapped him.

Even though the "sword" in his hand was just an old dagger, even though his sword energy was stiff and jerky and full of loopholes, his mood was unbelievably high.

Loneliness is no longer daunting, and everything in the world quietly changes its appearance.In this courtyard, which is vaster than the sea and emptier than the sky, where a tiny life comes from and where it goes seems to be insignificant.

He is also insignificant, and a gust of wind will blow him around. Because of this, he has to become stronger quickly, so that he can be firmly rooted in the world and hold his destiny in his own hands.

He danced the sword with all his attention, using the edge of the sword as a pen, splashing the afterglow of the setting sun wantonly.The golden sword energy surrounded him, and before he knew it, his ears became unobstructed and his vision broadened.The tentacles of darkness could no longer touch him, it was as if he had grown up overnight, turning into a tall and straight swordsman, standing between heaven and earth.

The sword edge turned, twisted, and retracted, pointing to the direction behind.

There are only shadows of trees behind, swaying with the wind in the night, smearing a piece of black ink with the branches.

However, Liu Qian questioned in an extremely firm voice: "Who?"

An answer came from the shadow of the tree: "Little ghost, your eyesight is pretty good."

The woman in black jumped down from the treetops and climbed over the courtyard wall with ease, her figure was like a ghost.

But Liu Qian quickly saw her face clearly, she was not a ghost, but someone who took her companion away during the day.

"It's you," he met the other person's gaze, and asked, "Where did you take Liu Hongfeng?"

The person stopped in front of Liu Qian in a blink of an eye, her footsteps were quieter than a cat's, her face was light and blurred, her eyes were as thin as a willow knife, revealing an indescribable coldness.

Liu Qian unconsciously clenched the sword in his hand.

But the other party didn't attack him, instead he showed a smile, leaned down slightly, and said: "My name is Chi Lian, and I was entrusted by Mr. Feng to come to welcome you."

While talking, Chi Lian looked at Liu Qian's appearance.

Just now when Liu Qian danced the sword, she hid in the dark and observed silently for a while, the observation result was quite disappointing to her, Liu Qian's martial arts aptitude could be called ordinary, both internal and external strength were still very immature, lack of rules but eager to learn. Seeking success, if you continue to learn like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve something.

Such a mediocre talent, who is out of everyone's eyes, makes Jin'e's soul haunt her, and she can't forget it.

Liu Qian lowered his sword-holding hand and looked at her suspiciously: "Where is Liu Hongfeng? Why don't you come by yourself?"

Chi Lian replied: "Don't worry, he is with Jin'e."

Hearing Jin'e's name, Liu Qian was visibly startled.Seeing the opportunity, Chi Lian took out a bag and handed it to him.

Liu Qian was surprised: "I left this for Sister Jin'e, how could it be in your hands?"

Chi Lian said patiently: "I am her friend, I watched her eat the snack you prepared, she likes it very much, and keeps praising you."

"Is she in Yingge Tower?"

"No, she's the only one in Yingge Building, so it's a bit deserted. She's in a side courtyard of the Duan Mansion. It's more comfortable and safer there. Mr. Feng just settled her down, and there are still things to do, so please let me Come and pick you up."

This lie was groundless, and even she herself didn't believe it after she said it.She simply took a step forward, her eyes closely watching the dagger in Liu Qian's hand.

She was ready, as long as Liu Qian resisted, she would strike, she had countless ways to subdue the little devil in front of her, and bring him back to the bamboo courtyard intact.

But to her surprise, Liu Qian put the dagger back into its sheath, then raised her head and grinned: "Then let's go, I can't wait to see Miss Jin'e."

Chi Lian also smiled and said, "Okay."

——It seems that I was worrying too much, Liu Qian is not only mediocre, but also not smart enough. He is just an ordinary kid who can be seen everywhere, and can be bluffed with a few words.

Chi Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a friendly expression on his face, leading Liu Qian to leave the mansion, before leaving, quietly left a note in the crack of the door.

The two left the town and walked towards a sparsely populated place.Liu Qian followed her, bouncing all the way, asking questions from time to time, most of them were about Jin'e, Chi Lian casually replied, thinking he was noisy.However, in order to please Jin'e, she still tried her best to keep smiling.

The bamboo courtyard is getting closer, Duan Qichang will come to wait for Liu Hongfeng soon, and Liu Hongfeng will definitely come to the appointment when he sees the letter.After solving Liu Hongfeng's obstacle, he can win Duan's trust, successfully sneak into Tianji Gate, and then wait for the opportunity to sneak into Zhengrong Pavilion and get Mo Xie Sword.

In this way, she can live to the end and leave Yingzhou Island safely with Jin'e.

As long as she can stay with Jin'e for a long time, she is willing to do anything and take any risks.

Leaving Yangliupo, the sea in the distance is even more vast, staring at the sea for a long time, even the ground is shaking.The isolated island floats in a silent sea, like a precarious lonely boat.

But that was just an illusion born of her exhaustion, the road was still solid and solid, a verdant bamboo forest was faintly visible in front of her, and the mottled courtyard wall jumped into the field of vision, getting closer and closer.

There was a burst of warmth in her heart, thinking of Jin'e seeing Liu Qianshi's happy expression, she was filled with ecstasy and forgot about the exhaustion all over her body.

But there was no one in the yard.

Chi Lian frowned slightly, turned her head to Liu Qian and said, "Jin'e is probably resting in the room, so come in first."

But Liu Qian stopped by the door and did not leave.

Chi Lian turned back to him patiently, lowered her head, and said in a concerned tone: "Why don't you come in?"

Liu Qian kept a straight face, with a melancholy face that didn't match her age, and said word by word: "Actually, you have been lying to me."

Chi Lian was taken aback, at first he thought that he had heard the wrong sound, that he might have misunderstood the meaning, the smile on his face still did not fade, and he said softly: "You child, just say you are tired when you are tired, why bother talking nonsense." Then he bent down and took the other person's hand, "Do you see the courtyard wall in front, we will be there soon."

But Liu Qian took a step back calmly, avoiding her outstretched hand, and said: "Your trousers are wet, you must have walked by the seaside just now, and your clothes are stained with grass pulp, you must have been there just now." Walking through the woods. If Liu Hongfeng asked you to come to the government office to find me, why did you go to those places to search?"

Chi Lian showed a look of complete surprise, and looked at her feet from the corner of the eye, and saw that the heels of the shoes were indeed covered with water-covered sand, and looking at the cuffs and sleeves, there were indeed dark green spots.

She didn't notice these trivial things at all, but a child could easily see through them.

"You already knew?" Her tone suddenly became cold, as if she was a different person.

"Yes," Liu Qian nodded.

"In that case, why do you listen to me?"

"Because I see that your martial arts are so good that I must not be able to deal with them. Even if I exposed your lies just now, you still have countless ways to make me go with you. In this case, I might as well just listen to you and see What kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?"

Although Liu Qian's voice was immature, her tone was extremely firm.But Chi Lian couldn't hide the shock on his face, and turned his gaze to him again.

The boy in his early ten years seemed to be a different person, with a calm and wise expression, unflappable in times of crisis, not at all as stupid as she had estimated.

The real fool is herself.

The anxiety in Chi Lian's heart became worse, and his mind became more dizzy, as if his throat was blocked by cotton, and he was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.She stared at Liu Qian firmly, forgetting that he was Jin'e's child, a sudden burst of hatred arose in her heart, wishing to give him a sap on the spot and take him away like a prisoner.

She suppressed her unhappiness and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I don't intend to hurt you. Jin'e sincerely hopes that you are safe, so I brought you here. I am protecting you."

However, Liu Qian revealed a deeper disgust, and said: "Really, if this is the case, why do you still find someone to deal with me?"

His expression made Chi Lian even more displeased, and he asked coldly, "What do you mean by that?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Qian's eyes: "What do you mean? Didn't you hear it?"

Chi Lian was like waking up from a dream, and his whole body suddenly fought.

She finally smelled a strange smell, coming from all directions, hidden in the heavy twilight, approaching steadily like a rising sea, squeezing out the soil at her feet inch by inch.

There were so many visitors, they surrounded the courtyard layer by layer, each with a murderous look.

Her complexion finally changed, this time not out of resentment, but out of deep remorse, she was amazed at her stupidity, she didn't even notice such obvious killing intent, and brought the person she was supposed to protect , plunged into the trap.

An invisible hand grabbed her throat, and she said in a hoarse voice: "It's not good, Jin'e is in danger."

Liu Qian heard her serious tone, and finally showed fear, and asked: "What's going on, are those people not you?"

"No." Chi Lian gritted his teeth and replied, using so much force that he almost crushed his own teeth.

Liu Qian was shocked: "Then who is here?"

There is no need to answer this question anymore, because the door in front of the room creaked and opened to the outside, and the enemy appeared from the darkness, walking towards the two of them slowly with undisguised killing intent.

The leader is someone Chi Lian is familiar with.

Someone she never wanted to look at again.

Duan Qichang lingered in the front hall of Duan Mansion.

Seeing his serious expression, the rest of the servants didn't dare to say anything, only Aunt Su went up to meet him and asked, "Master, have you had your dinner yet?"

Duan Qichang didn't answer Aunt Su's question, but instead asked: "Has Chang Ya not come back yet?"

Aunt Su shook her head.

Duan Qichang smiled wryly, and said in a voice that seemed to be talking to himself: "Yes, I have been waiting here, I should be the clearest, why bother to ask more, Aunt Su, thank you for your trouble."

"Where?" Aunt Su immediately lowered her head and looked at the food in front of her. The food and vegetables were still intact, but the bitter tea soup had already bottomed out, leaving only some crumbs that settled around the mouth of the cup.

She picked up the plate and said, "I'll heat it up again."

As soon as her footsteps left, there was a sound of horseshoes outside the door, but the rhythm was slow, accompanied by the clucking sound of the wheels rolling over the ground. It was obvious that not only the horses returned, but also a heavy carriage.

This is the car of Shizi Nangongyou.

Nangong You was born with a weak body, he didn't like to ride bumpy horses, and he used a car to travel long distances. Such a noble, delicate, woman-like habit seemed out of place among a group of martial men. In addition, he was good-looking. He has a warm and reserved temperament, like a woman, so the Tianji sect has a lot of complaints about him.Especially for those young disciples who are full of vigor, it is difficult to regard him as an elder.

But he is a relative of the emperor after all, among the disciples of Tianji Sect, there are many from official families, they respect his status and dare not express their dissatisfaction.As soon as his carriage returned, someone came forward to greet him immediately.

Nangongyou lifted the curtain of the car, jumped out of the carriage, and walked slowly to the main hall.The weather was a bit cold, so he put on a fox fur to make his figure even thinner.He stopped in front of Duan Qichang and saw that there was no one else around, so he said in a low voice: "Sect Leader, I have settled the two girls Chi Lian and Jin'e in the bamboo courtyard, don't worry."

Duan Qichang nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, let's have dinner."

Nangong You sat down at the table, looked at a table of intact, cold and hot food, put down the chopsticks he had just picked up, raised his head and asked, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Duan Qichang shook his head and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm not hungry yet."

Nangongyou's face was filled with concern, and he asked, "Brother Qichang, is there something bothering you?"

Duan Qichang was slightly stunned, and couldn't help looking at the other party. He no longer remembered how long ago it was the last time Nangong You called him a brother.

The difference between him and Nangongyou is more than ten years, one side has the position of Patriarch and the other has the name of the son and royal family, so they always respect each other in front of people, and they are not close in private.Originally, after Nangong Jin passed away, the connection between the two was broken, but Duan Qichang was different from most men in the world, he hadn't thought about remarrying for ten years, and his affectionate reputation was well-known in the world.Therefore, the younger brother of the late wife has always been like Duan's own family, often going in and out of the door to share his worries and problems.

In the past ten years, he has always been unable to shake off the guilt in his heart in front of Nangongyou, so he never dared to ask the other party for anything.However, being respected as an elder brother today, and accepting the other party's concerns, I felt a sense of kindness in my heart. I simply sat down opposite and sighed: "Oh, it's a lie to say that you don't worry. You can deceive outsiders, but you can't deceive your own family. Ah. Brother, if you are interested, would you like to have a drink with me?"

"Of course," Nangongyou got up immediately, "I'll pour wine for brother Qichang."

The two sent the servants away, stayed alone in the front hall, ate some food with warm wine, and chatted some irrelevant gossip.Nangongyou glanced at the sky, and finally asked: "Should we go to the bamboo courtyard to meet Liu Hongfeng?"

Duan Qichang said, "Before we leave, accompany me for a walk in the courtyard where Ah Jin lived."

For ten years, Nangongyou had not entered this courtyard.

Duan Qichang also knew this very well, and while pacing, he introduced: "These rooms still maintain their original appearance. I haven't touched the furnishings inside, nor has Chang Ya. The rooms are cleaned every day. The flowers and trees are also taken care of every day. This pine tree was planted by Ajin himself, and it has grown so big, just like Changya..."

Nangongyou raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the pine tree in front of him through the twilight. Once upon a time, this sapling was only as thick as a bamboo pole, and the bark was smooth and tender. Now, the lines on the trunk are deep and clear, as if a strip of dryness The current of water flows through this land where everything is right and wrong.

He stopped beside the flower fence and looked at a sudden open space in the corner.

Duan Qichang sensed his gaze and explained: "Oh, there used to be hibiscus flowers planted here, but it's a pity that without her care, it is difficult to sustain. Not only did they not bloom anymore, but they withered one after another. I can only remove the dead plants. , and vacated the land."

Hibiscus is proud of itself.It is not as tough and generous as pines and cypresses. It is willing to tolerate the sorrows and joys of the world without changing the greenness.It just stands in full bloom and withers, and will never give excess mercy to the world.

Nangongyou turned his head, looked at Duan Qichang's old and tired face full of guilt, finally changed his tone softly, and said: "Brother Qichang don't mention the old things ten years ago."

Duan Qichang raised his head under his comfort, and sighed: "Oh, I don't want to mention it again, but the old things will not let me go."

"what do you mean?"

"Liu Hongfeng, I already expected his identity."

Nangongyou raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Dare to ask who he is."

Duan Qichang lowered his gaze once again: "Among the whores captured by the Bloody Clothes Gang, there was a lady named Liu who was extremely staunch. I heard from Hou Langzhong that when the blood was collected, she struggled until the last moment before dying. yield……"

Nangongyou frowned, the shocking night ten years ago resurfaced in front of his eyes again, when the shrieking screams from the underground secret room merged with the quiet chirping of insects in the empty mountain in front of him.

Clear water can wash away the traces of blood, but can time really wash away the sins of the past?

Duan Qichang's hands were trembling slightly.

He is afraid.Nangongyou finally understood that he called himself here not out of guilt, nor out of family affection, but because the fear deep in his heart couldn't be relieved.

Sure enough, Duan Qichang once again talked about the past, and Nangongyou knew it well, but he still put it into words again:

"My dear brother, I think you also know that the ancestors of the Duan family practiced hard on the extremely cold peak of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions. After several generations, they finally enlightened to the way of controlling the sword and founded the Tianji Sword School precisely because they dedicated their lives to martial arts. , Tianji Gate has achieved today's achievements. However, the sword is a brutal weapon that can hurt people and kill people. Not everyone can control the highest and strongest swordsmanship in the world. Mind and soul, the best of them was controlled by the sword, became violent and bloodthirsty, even killed relatives, committed an unforgivable crime, and died with hatred."

Nangongyou nodded in agreement: "I know that, I kept it in mind when you told me frankly."

Duan Qichang gave a grateful look, let out a long sigh, and continued: "The Duan family has been troubled by this for generations. Although they have inherited the martial arts of their ancestors and established a school, they are also afraid that the seeds of mad blood will take root and germinate among the descendants of the Duan family. Later, my father passed away, and the Duan family's foundation was handed over to me. I was afraid of repeating the same mistakes, so I only had one son, Changya. Ever since I was young, I have been worried, I never thought that such a thing would happen to him when he was ten years old..."

Nangongyou replied solemnly: "I remember...Of course I remember that day."

An unlucky robber broke into the Tianji Gate's house, but was stopped by a child... When the adults heard the commotion and stopped Duan Changya, the robber's ears had been cut off and half of his body was covered in blood. If he came a moment later, he might lose his life.

Nangongyou always remembered how he was delirious, pointing at the ten-year-old child, and kept yelling "the devil, the devil".

Duan Qichang's voice was almost trembling, and it was difficult to continue.Nangong You turned to pat him on the shoulder, comforting him: "Brother Qichang, we all understand your painstaking efforts, Chang Ya's madness is not your fault, not to mention that Wang Jie is a descendant of Southern Xinjiang Miao, Even my father believed that she was born with pure blood."

At this point, Duan Qichang seemed to have grasped at straws, his eyes lit up, and said: "That's exactly the case. If it weren't for this, how dare I ask her to give birth to an heir for the Duan family. I hope to be able to cleanse the blood of my ancestors, but I can't Thinking of causing misfortune for her, I failed her, I am sorry for her..."

Nangong worriedly stared at the person opposite, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised little by little, but he quickly suppressed it.

His tone was still gentle as usual, and he said: "You are sincere to my sister, she will definitely not hate you."

Duan Qichang didn't see that his expression was unwell, and he still buried his head in talking to himself: "Yes, yes, I'm sorry for her... For her, I must protect Changya well. Now someone wants to reopen the old score , wanting to harm Chang Ya. Chang Ya's child is innocent and doesn't know how to guard against it, so I have to protect him."

Nangong said worryingly: "You will be able to see Liu Hongfeng tonight."

Duan Qichang said: "Yes, it will be soon."

Nangongyou then asked: "If you see Liu Hongfeng, what are your plans?"

Duan Qichang raised his head slowly, and said: "Brother, tell me if I confess to Liu Hongfeng the crimes I committed back then, and try my best to make up for him, can I calm down the resentment in his heart..."

Nangong You was stunned, then shook his head and said, "No way, we don't know the details of Liu Hongfeng, so how can we speculate on his thoughts? If he keeps pestering and spreading the scandal to the Jianghu, the reputation of Tianjimen will be destroyed. How about it? Isn’t Xiling Village once a famous family in the world, but you see An Guangsha’s current fate, you don’t want to hand over a dilapidated family business to Chang Ya.”

Duan Qichang was obviously poked into a sore spot, and he frowned deeply, showing a conflicted and painful look.

Nangongyou continued: "Besides you and me, the head of the Yan family also knew about what happened ten years ago..."

Duan Qichang was shocked, he showed an angry face, and raised his voice, regardless of etiquette: "Then what can I do?! Paper can't contain fire."

Nangongyou's expression remained calm as usual, and he said word by word: "Just put out the fire."

Duan Qichang looked at him in surprise.

Nangongyou continued: "Ten years have passed, the paper is an old piece of paper, and the fire is a smoldering fire. As long as it is buried in the ground, no one will know."

Duan Qichang was silent for a long time before he asked, "You mean to do something to Liu Hongfeng?"

Nan Gongyou nodded and said: "Back then you were sympathetic and appeasement of the Bloody Clothes Gang, but in the end, these years they relied on the protection of the government to do evil in the rivers and lakes and harm innocent people. Is this the situation you want to see? What? Those people of the three religions and nine streams don't know what it means to be a chivalrous man and what is righteousness. Over the years, the Tianji Sect has been doing chivalry everywhere and made countless meritorious deeds, which is enough to offset the crimes of those years. It is not reasonable to take advantage of the situation to get rid of a few treacherous young people. Should it?"

Duan Qichang remained silent for a long time, but his expression was obviously touched. Nangongyou was not in a hurry, and waited patiently in silence.Until the former spoke again: "Back then, I listened to that quack doctor's nonsense and committed a heinous crime. I can't... let my disciple do evil again..."

Nangongyou smiled slightly and said, "Then, how about letting someone else do it for you?"

Duan Qichang was startled: "You mean..."

Nangongyou continued: "Xue Yuguan is also on Yingzhou Island, and he is also looking for Liu Hongfeng's trail. I am afraid it is to recover the evidence left by the quack doctor. His subordinates suffered humiliation in the ring, and they are hating Liu Hongfeng to the bone. As long as Send the news to his ears, and he will definitely take action. As long as they fight between the snipe and the clam, after tonight is over, is there any need for that little flame."

Duan Qichang was silent again, and after a while, he sighed: "I didn't expect that both the Bloody Clothes Gang and Liu Hongfeng were on Yingzhou Island. It's just God's will."

Nangongyou sneered from the bottom of his heart, but echoed: "Yes, it's God's will to help me. As long as I get through tonight, Chang Ya will be safe."

In the empty old courtyard, a gust of evening wind blew by, and the pine needles trembled on the branches, making a chilling rustling sound.

In the bamboo courtyard, the air is like a tight drum skin.

The sense of tension comes from the white blade, and the silvery brilliance shines on the sharp blade. This pure and dazzling brilliance has been shining since ancient times, coating the flesh and blood with indestructible armor, and inserting wings that soar into the sky for the humble ants.Sword - it is a god that illuminates human relations, eliminates evil and promotes good, and is also a devil that drinks blood and devours souls.It is a human creation, magnificent and surly, not tolerated by heaven and earth. From the moment it is held, ordinary people will give up their souls.

What kind of soul will make what kind of sword.

Xue Yuguan's sword is undoubtedly ugly.

The difference from the past is that he no longer carefully conceals his ugly face. He pushed open the door and walked out from the darkness. His appearance shocked Chi Lian, but his face was completely missing Zhou Zhengxiu's beauty, with a strange nose. The angle is tilted to the side, as if falling from a high place and breaking the bridge of the nose, the facial features are affected by the bridge of the nose, twisting each other, exuding an indescribable ferocity.

Anyone could see that he was seriously injured, but instead of going to heal him, he was lurking in the depths of the bamboo courtyard, waiting for the opportunity to draw his sword and drink blood.

This is his inherent despicable temperament. He regards the misfortune of others as more important than his own safety.If he can't shine, he will smash the candles in other people's hands and drag the world into the quagmire together.

The tip of his heart is very small, that's why he holds everything firmly in his hands, he cares about every detail, and he will get revenge.But such a person has a lot of support.The light in this world often faces each other from afar, but the haze is interdependent with the haze.The people who were bewitched by Xue Yuguan gathered around him, waiting with him for the night to fall, and carnivaled in the bottomless darkness.

Their common name is the Blood Clothes Gang. Tonight, all the members of the Blood Clothes Gang gathered in this courtyard. Like Xue Yuguan, they all came here for revenge.

But there is only one Chi Lian.

Chi Lian didn't dare to turn around hastily, but turned her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Little devil, you go first."

Liu Qian was startled, raised her head and asked, "What about you?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Chi Lian replied coldly.

Liu Qian didn't answer, but another voice answered her: "It doesn't matter. A good show is about to be staged, so we can't let the distinguished guests leave."

The yin and yang voice came from Xue Yuguan, Chi Lian did not hide the disgust in his expression, stared at the ugly face opposite, and said sharply: "I have never invited you, who asked you to come?"

Xue Yuguan sneered, and said: "It's not important, what's important is that you'd better hold on to the little friend by your side. If he leaves, I can't guarantee what he will do."

He said and waved his hand
