Ninety thousand miles of wind

In the other room, Zhou Zekai followed Fang Rui in hiding, and sneaked into the back yard amidst the disputes in the front yard.Fang Rui pointed out the hiding places of the traps one by one, Zhou Zekai used the locust stone to penetrate his internal strength, and hit the weak points Fang Rui pointed out, and in an instant, he broke the trap of the second courtyard.Fang Rui still didn't dare to be careless, first checked the main hall of the courtyard, and after confirming that there was nothing there, he called Zhou Zekai to go back.Passing through a door with hanging flowers, I saw that the trees and plants in the third courtyard were sparse, and all the lights were dimmed. Only one lamp was lit in the main hall.

Zhou Zekai was about to go, but Fang Rui stopped him, and said in a bunch of voices: "I'm afraid there may be fraud."

Zhou Zekai nodded, and followed the same voice transmission: "You go first. I will follow."

Fang Rui nodded, first threw a few stones to test, and then walked quietly in the shadow of the trees - every time he took a step, he first used his toe to probe the square brick to see if there was a mechanism buried.But I didn't expect that not only there was no mechanism, but there was not even an assassin ninja.Suspicious in his heart, he quietly sneaked to the window, wet his finger with his saliva, made a small opening on the window paper, and looked in, just one glance, he was surprised.

This time, he didn't hide his whereabouts anymore, he simply stood up and kicked the door:

"Ye Buxiu, I knew it was you who did something good."

But looking at the main hall, there is only one table, one chair and one lamp, and the only living person is holding the box and sitting on the chair, his face is exactly the same as that of Ye Xiu, who Zhou Zekai bid farewell to a few days ago.He watched Fang Rui kicking in the door without any surprise, as if someone kicked in the door every day.Before the man could speak, he saw Zhou Zekai falling into the hall lightly like a big bird, and said, "You are not him."

Fang Rui was surprised: "What? City Lord Zhou means that this person is in disguise?"

Zhou Zekai didn't explain, and looked straight at this person.The man stood up from the chair, put the box in his arms upright on the table, and bowed upright:

"Zuo Sijian, Ye Qiu, met two knights."

Fang Rui blinked: "...I'm confusing you. Didn't Ye Qiu Yexiu come here alone? When did you go to become an official? You changed your name, too, too much Bar?"

Compared to Fang Rui's confusion, Zhou Zekai paused for a moment before asking, "Are you... brothers?"

"I was born with one child. He came out an hour and a half earlier than me and became the eldest brother." Ye Qiu replied, "Afterwards he left home and borrowed my name to use it, that's all. Dare I ask you two names? name?"

"I'm Wu Xiao Fang Rui, and people in the Jianghu are called ghosts and gods." No matter how curious Fang Rui is, this is not the time to ask other people's family affairs. Now, do you know that the two of us came to steal this box from you?"

Ye Qiu nodded: "Feng Xianjun has been planning this matter for a long time, so I naturally know. Fang Daxia, you came here yesterday to check, how could I not know?"

Fang Rui thought that this was really Ye Xiu's younger brother, so he asked again: "Then if you are here alone, you won't be afraid that the two of us will violently beat you unconscious, grab the box and run away?"

Ye Qiu smiled—he has a serious demeanor, which is completely different from Ye Xiu's looseness; when he laughs, he looks alike again: "My elder brother has a lot of bad things, but he always tells me that he is a good friend in the world. Too many. As a younger brother, I still have to trust him this time."

Before Fang Rui had time to say anything, Zhou Zekai had already taken a step forward calmly - just this one step, Fang Rui was already within the distance of his sword, it was obvious that if Fang Rui wanted to move forward, Zhou Zekai Will not be polite attitude.Fang Rui glanced at Zhou Zekai in surprise—it wasn't that he really wanted to grab him, but... I've never heard of the close friendship between City Lord Samsara and Fighting God of Excellent Era?Seeing Zhou Zekai put his hand on the hilt of his sword, he coughed quickly and said, "Naturally, there are so many strange things here, no matter how abrupt we are, we won't snatch it from the court officials. Let alone you are still Ye Xiu. Brother guy...cough, it's just that this path is very cloudy, but I don't know if Ye Sijian can explain to us what is so important in this box?"

Ye Qiu caressed the box with one hand, and swept the two of them back and forth with his eyes: "There is a lot involved here, do you two knights really want to know?"

"I've already stepped into the water, even if I get out now, my shoes are already wet; why don't you make up your mind and make it clear." Fang Rui said seriously.Zhou Zekai put his hand down from the hilt of his sword, Zheng nodded his head.

"——I don't know what Feng Xianjun and the two of you said. Inside are five Tianshan snow lotus hearts, which are the blind introductions that His Royal Highness has sent to escort and dispense medicines."

Even though there was no one around, Ye Qiu couldn't help lowering his voice; but these few words were like a thunder.Fang Rui gasped, and smiled wryly: "...As expected, it was the Ye family who caused the trouble. The Wulin League suddenly intervened - but did it work for King Ji?"

"Fang Daxia is really insightful."

Fang Rui shook his head: "There are no heirs in the official family, and those who can take on important responsibilities in the court are firstly the mature and prudent British King who assists in government affairs; It's not a secret either. I just didn't expect that behind Feng Xianjun was the family of King Ji."

"King Ji started his business in the northwest, and he took the path of killing and decisively. The turmoil in the world brought a lot of convenience to the sects of the Jianghu. He wrote several letters, all of which mentioned that the powerful people in the Jianghu would not be able to get rid of their tails, and they must be rectified..." Ye Qiu said Here, he sighed and said, "I don't intend to involve the two of you too deeply, but if you want to get on the boat, you have to know which way the boat is going."

Fang Rui froze, thinking of what Lin Jingyan said to him before he left, he didn't know how to answer.Instead, Zhou Zekai asked:

"What does he think?"

——Although no name was mentioned, Ye Qiu also knew who Zhou Zekai was referring to: "He only gave me these five Tianshan snow lotus hearts, and he was talking about old things from the past. I can use them as I like." Looking at the City Master of the Last Reincarnation avoidantly, "My elder brother is different from me, and has never been impatient with such matters. As far as I am concerned, I just hope that he can be at ease in the rivers and lakes."

Zhou Zekai nodded, and Fang Rui said, "Let's go."

Fang Rui thought to himself that if you are generous here, wouldn't it appear that I am very stingy?But after all, he had a delicate position in Wind Howl, so he could only open his face and ask: "Ye Sijian, knowing the pros and cons of this, we will naturally not rob us again. But, just go back empty-handed to do business, and..."

Ye Qiu said: "Don't worry, Fang Daxia. I asked you two to listen to me, but how can you not think of your situation? This side has already been prepared."

When Zhou Zekai and Fang Rui came out of the backyard, the situation in the front yard had changed drastically—Xiao Shiqin and Sun Xiang were on the alert, but on the side of the Yanyu Tower, besides Chu Yunxiu and the Shu sisters, there was another The black scarf-covered ninja held a dagger in his hand, but it was directly on Su Mucheng's neck—it was obvious that when Chu Yunxiu and Xiao Sun were fighting with Xiao Sun, the ninja reached out and restrained Su Mucheng who was supporting him outside.Chu Yunxiu heard the footsteps of the two of them, and didn't turn her head back, she smiled before saying anything: "You two came a bit late, I think you have already found the box from the dark room? It's a pity, if you want to keep Mu Yuchengfeng alone For your life, I'm afraid you have to obediently hand over the box."

Fang Rui sighed, and simply jumped out from the veranda: "Master Chu is serious. No one in the Jianghu knows that the master of Yanyu Tower and Ms. Su of Jiashi Villa have a close relationship. If you threaten us like this, who will believe you?"

"Let's put it this way, if you don't give the box to me," Chu Yunxiu simply walked up to Su Mucheng, and put his arm around her, "I'll take her back to the Misty Rain Tower."

Sun Xiang snorted, seemingly indifferent; it was Xiao Shiqin who took a step forward and said, "I'm afraid this won't work, Miss Su is an important guest of our Excellent Era. Even if she has a relationship with League Leader Feng, she still has to invite her." Lord Chu returned Miss Su to us."

Fang Rui looked at Xiao Shiqin: "If Mr. Xiao says so, I have no choice but to obey. However, in front of President Feng, I can't be the only one responsible for this."

Xiao Shiqin nodded: "Naturally."

Fang Rui sighed, seeing that Zhou Zekai also had an acquiescing attitude, he simply pulled the box out of his bosom, and with a soft force, it landed on the square brick floor in the courtyard.The ninja over there had put away the knife earlier, and a shadow clone had already picked up the box; Chu Yunxiu held Su Mucheng's arm tightly, but finally let go.

Su Mucheng lowered her head and silently walked back to Excellent Era's side without saying a word.

On this side, Chu Yunxiu took the box from the ninja, and smiled slightly: "Well, everyone, today, you have to fight, and you have seen what you want to see, so please go back. Our group in Yanyu Building, tonight That is to say, let’s leave, please don’t bother to send someone here, Leader Feng.”

Xiao Shiqin still bowed his hands in a courteous way: "I will naturally bring this statement to you."

So the five of them didn't say anything anymore, and they were speechless all the way back to the other courtyard.As soon as they entered the front hall, they saw Feng Xianjun circling there, and immediately greeted them when they came back: "—how?"

Just as Xiao Shiqin shook his head and said "I'm ashamed", he saw Fang Rui chuckle and said, "Mr. Xiao, it seems that I really did hide it from you." Only a package of vermilion silk came.

Feng Xianjun was overjoyed, and regardless of face, he stretched out his hand and took it: "How is this—" But as soon as the package landed in his hand, a smile froze on his face, "This, this is?"

Xiao Shiqin and Sun Xiang stared at Fang Rui for a while, but Fang Rui was still complacent, and said, "Then Chu Yunxiu is also confused, as long as the box is there, she doesn't take a look at the contents—" Feng Xianjun on the other side didn't care. , opened the package with trembling fingers, revealing a few gold and jade seals, he stared straight at him, and grabbed Fang Rui's collar with his hands: "I'll teach you to take that box back, but what is this?!"

"What is this? This is what's in the box, City Lord Zhou can testify for me—" Fang Rui said, raising his hands to show his innocence.Zhou Zekai didn't say a word, just nodded, confirming that what Fang Rui said was true.

Feng Xianjun let go of his hands now, stepped back a few steps and sat down on the high chair in the hall, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

"...Leader Feng, what's going wrong here...?" Xiao Shiqin said slowly, "However, since the leader didn't tell us what was in that box, there is nothing we can do if we are being deceived. Things……"

Hearing what he said, Zhou Zekai suddenly raised his head to look at Xiao Shiqin.But there was a smile on the corner of the mechanism master's mouth, and a sharp edge was hidden in his gentle eyes: "Because of this matter, I almost lost a general at Jiashi Villa, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help the leader any longer. Let's just say goodbye." , a respectful salute, actually came out in a huff.Sun Xiang looked helpless, and followed him out—not to mention Su Mucheng.Fang Rui hurriedly sang aloud, made a vague sound, pulled Zhou Zekai with one hand, and then slipped out - but after this, the eastern sky had already turned pale, with only the last few critters left. The stars are scattered on Qingluo.

Fang Rui sighed: "It was barely managed, but I just went back to Hustle, and I don't know what happened."

Zhou Zekai raised his eyes to look at him, but saw that the relaxed expression just now had disappeared from Fang Rui's face in an instant.The thief who used to be famous in the Jianghu world seems to have been worn down by the turbid years at this time.He noticed Zhou Zekai's gaze, and smiled again: "But it's okay. If it doesn't help, I'll just be a lone ranger again. If Lao Lin can go to Tyranny to be a guest, why can't I?"

Zhou Zekai looked at him and said suddenly, "Ye Xiu is in Jiangzhou."

Fang Rui was taken aback: "Have you seen him?"

Zhou Zekai nodded.

"——What is his plan at this time? I only heard that he was walking around the rivers and lakes under the name of Jun Moxiao, and he wanted to recruit people again to become the No.11 sect?"

Zhou Zekai recalled that night, and said seriously: "He said that he will go back to the sword test again."

Fang Rui's eyes widened, and after a while, he let out a long breath: "...As expected of Ye Xiu."

While they were talking, the sky was getting brighter, and the birds in the surrounding poplar forest suddenly chirped.Zhou Zekai raised his head and saw a ray of bright morning light in the distance, but remembered that when Yu Qiu said goodbye last night, that person only said:

"...But no one, just by looking at it, you can tell that my eldest brother and I are not alone."

——Suddenly, Zhou Zekai only felt that little bit of longing, little nostalgia, and little things that could never be expressed in words, all sprouted branches and leaves in this light, and grew up harmoniously in his heart.It's just that he has always been reticent, and no one can tell that his mind is distracted here.What did Fang Rui say on the other side? When he came back to his senses, he only heard the last part of the sentence: "...City Lord Zhou, I'm afraid that in reincarnation, it's not that simple."

Zhou Zekai frowned: "I know."

Fang Rui was silent for a moment, and said: "There are many risks in the world, and City Lord Zhou, please take care of yourself."

Zhou Zekai thought of the elder's talisman in his luggage, Jiang Botao, Lu Boyuan, Wu Qifang, Minghua, Du Ming, and the others. In the end, he just bid farewell to Fang Rui.He went back to his room to get his luggage, took out his horse, and without saying anything to Feng Xianjun, he galloped and headed north.

No matter what, always go back to Samsara City first.

——but then what?

Zhou Zekai gritted his teeth, clamped his horse's belly, and headed towards Yongzhou in the northwest like a gust of wind.
