in the world of murder

Xi Zhen clutched his wrist and went back to his yard. Someone had already gone to find Fu Gui, the disciple of Elder Yao, and invited him to treat Xi Zhen's wound.

As soon as Xi Zhen sat down, Fu Gui hurried over. He had a round baby face, was tall and thin, and was dressed in a plain green cloth long jacket, carrying a medicine box on his back.

When Fu Gui came in, seeing Xi Zhen's ugly face, he knew that Xie Li had hit a wall again.When he saw him clutching his wrist, with blood oozing from between his fingers, he turned pale with fright, "Eldest senior brother disabled your hand?!"

Xi Zhen glanced at him and said, "Come here soon!"

Fu Gui hurriedly stepped forward, carefully inspected the wound, opened the medicine box and took the golden sore medicine, said: "It's okay, it's just a flesh wound, not a muscle or bone."

Xi Zhen's attendants, who were winking, hurried to get hot water, wiped Xi Zhen's hands and face, and were extremely flattering.

Fu Gui is somewhat contemptuous, although he is also Xi Zhen's follower, but he is purely for the gold in Xi Zhen's hands.It's not like these people, surrounded by Xi Zhen, who don't know what to do.

Fu Gui bandaged Xi Zhen in three or two strokes, several layers of white cloth were wrapped around her thin wrists, making her look more fragile and lonely.Xi Zhen looked at the injured wrist, and seemed to be able to see Xie Li's calm face in front of his eyes, such a calm person, but his strikes were so ruthless.He really thought it was going to be there today.

Fu Gui saw that his complexion was not good, and comforted him, "It's just a small injury, just take care of it."

Xi Zhen snorted coldly, "The day of flower competition is coming soon, how can I go to raise it when I have free time."

While tidying up the gauze, Fu Gui said, "What's the matter, you couldn't beat the elder brother, there's no difference, right?"

Xi Zhen gave Fu Gui a hard gouged look, and Fu Gui faltered, "Okay, pretend I didn't say anything."

The disciples around him kept wiping Xizhen's hand with a handkerchief. Xizhen got annoyed and threw him away, saying: "It's useless to do something, what's the use of you, get out!"

The disciple had no choice but to put down his handkerchief and left with the others.

Fu Gui put away the gauze, and stretched out his hand to Xi Zhen, "I'd like to offer you one or two gold."

Xi Zhen took out two gold beads from his purse and threw them to Fu Gui.Fugui took it in his hand, rubbed it twice, and put it in the bottom of the medicine box.

Xi Zhen is really generous, Fu Gui thought, don't compete for any direct disciples, just treat Xi Zhen's illness honestly, and sooner or later he will be able to make a fortune.

Xizhen washed his hands in the basin, saw a particularly beautiful white porcelain bottle in the Fugui medicine chest, and asked, "What is this?"

Fu Gui said: "It's a poison I newly developed, called Huagu Powder. After taking this medicine, my whole body becomes weak and my martial arts are completely lost. But this medicine has not been researched yet, even if there is no antidote, I will be fine after a while."

Xi Zhen picked it up and looked at it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said, "Good stuff."

Fu Gui looked at him suspiciously, and said, "It was decided by someone, so I can't give it to you."

"I pay double." Xizhen said: "Also, I want you to continue to study, it is best to make that kind of poison that cannot be cured."

Fu Gui thought for a while, and said, "Isn't it for senior brother?"

Xi Zhen glanced at him, his eyes fluttered, "If you dare to tell the truth, you will die."

Tsk tsk tsk, femme fatale.Fu Gui thought for a while, then stretched out three fingers, "Three times."

Xi Zhen simply threw the purse to him, took the white jade porcelain vase himself, and leaned on the Ruyi pillow, with a vicious smile shining in his beautiful eyes.

There are six competitions on the day of fighting for flowers, including swordsmanship, riding and archery, mathematics, scriptures, history books, rituals and music.Since it is difficult to judge in the competition of ritual and music, go is used instead of ritual and music.This is also the tendency of the entire Jiuyi Mountain. Compared with the etiquette and music of cultivating the mind and cultivating virtue, everyone is more inclined to the way of maneuvering.

When Xie Li came back, the days of competing for flowers were few days away.After he finished his sword practice, he ran into Xuan Xinghuai outside the courtyard.

Xuan Xinghuai has always followed behind Xi Zhen, and he did not participate in any of the tricks against Xie Li.At this moment, Xuan Xinghuai stopped Xie Li, and said politely: "It has been two days since the senior brother came back, and the juniors haven't come to see him yet. Tonight I will be the host and prepare a banquet for the senior brother to wash away the dust and cleanse the dust. I hope senior brother will not refuse."

Xie Li looked at Xuan Xinghuai with those emotionless eyes, and suddenly asked: "Where is Xi Zhen, is he going too?"

Xuan Xinghuai said: "The younger brother is also there, but if the elder brother minds, the younger brother can avoid it."

Xie Li seemed to smile, and asked, "Can you be his master?"

Xuan Xinghuai was a little embarrassed, and said: "Brother, please save face."

Xie Li walked over and said, "Got it."

The dinner party was still held in Xizhen's courtyard, except Xie Li Xizhen who was favored by the elders of the mountain master, very few disciples lived in an independent courtyard.

The lamps and candles hung high in the courtyard, reflecting the snow red.The house is brightly lit, with gold cups and silver cups, and the wine is warm and fragrant.

Xi Zhen sat at the head, wearing a red robe woven with gold, against which was a face as gorgeous as peaches and plums.He raised his eyes and saw Xie Li outside the courtyard.Xie Li was dressed in a snow-white crane cloak, and walked like a leisurely stroll in the courtyard, he really had the noble and calm respected by the aristocratic family.

Xie Li entered the room, all the seniors stood up to greet him, only Xi Zhen remained motionless, playing with the wine glass with his slender fingers, wondering what he was thinking.

Xuan Xinghuai welcomed Xie Li to the upper seat, Xie Li calmly took off his crane cloak, gathered his clothes and sat down.

Xi Zhen got up, came up to him with the jug, and said with a smile: "It's rare that senior brother is willing to show face, and junior brother proposes a toast to you?"

Xi Zhen personally poured a glass of wine, and added dried sweet-scented osmanthus to the heated wine.

Xie Li didn't answer, his eyes were still dark and he couldn't see the bottom.

Xi Zhen withdrew his hand calmly, and said with a smile: "It's understandable for senior brother not to drink. Over the years, junior senior has been stubborn and has acted inappropriately. Looking back now, it really shouldn't be. So I invited someone to have a banquet today. It is to clean up the dust for the senior brother, and secondly, it is to make amends for the senior brother, I hope the senior brother will forgive me anyway for the sake of my youth, and don't hurt the friendship of the same family."

Xie Li didn't speak, just looked at Xi Zhen with those dark eyes.

Xi Zhen raised his wine glass and said, "Junior brother punishes himself with three glasses to show his sincerity."

After finishing speaking, Xi Zhen raised his hand and drank it all in one gulp. He drank three cups in a row, his face became more and more radiant with a thin blush.

"Brother, brother, I would like to respect you a glass as if you and I shook hands and reconciled." Xi Zhen poured another glass of wine and put it in front of Xie Li, looking straight at him with a pair of twinkling eyes.

Sitting opposite Xie Li was Fu Gui, who looked at Xi Zhen's smiling face and said to himself, no one would be confused by this.

Sure enough, Xie Li looked at Xi Zhen, took the wine and drank it up.

Xi Zhen's smile became more and more charming, he poured himself a glass of wine, and wobbled back to his seat.All the people below became lively for a while, drinking wine and wine, enjoying the feast to the fullest.

The dinner party ended early, because the second day was the flower competition day, and everyone didn't dare to stay up late, so they all went back to prepare.

Xi Zhen stopped Fu Gui and asked, "How long does it take for the medicine to take effect?"

Fu Gui sat down at Xi Zhen's table, and said: "It will take six hours, I can't see anything now, but you will know it tomorrow morning, he will definitely not be able to reach the Sun Moon Terrace."

Xi Zhen raised the corner of his mouth, "I see how he will fight with me this time."

Fu Gui didn't drink alcohol, but ate delicacies from mountains and seas on the table, and said, "Aren't you afraid that he will settle accounts with you?"

"What are you afraid of? He has lost all his martial arts. Then he will be in my hands. I can hone it however I want."

Fu Gui shook his head, and said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, keep a line in life."

Xi Zhen ignored him and drank freely.Fu Gui shook his head, got up and left.

It was a rare sunny day. At the dawn of dawn, the bells and drums at the gate of the mountain rang throughout the entire Jiuyi Mountain. The bells sounded distant and solemn.

On the sun and moon platform, the mountain master sat on the high seat with all the elders, and slightly below, sat the elders' personal disciples.The rest of the disciples participating in the competition stood on both sides of the sun and moon platform, looking orderly and quite spectacular.

The mountain master got up and said some words of encouragement, and ordered someone to read the rules, and then sat down with the elders.

Xie Li was dressed in a snow-white crane cloak, spotless, Shi Shiran sat down under the mountain lord.The moment Fugui saw him take his seat, his expression was stunned.

Xie Li still looked the same, taciturn and cold as ice.The master of the mountain looked at him frequently, and couldn't help asking: "Where is Zhener?"

Xie Li replied: "I don't know."

Seeing that the competition was about to start, the mountain master said: "You go and look for your junior brother and see why he hasn't come yet."

"Yes." Xie Li got up and went. He walked along the stone road after the snow had faded to Xizhen's courtyard. Yesterday it was still brightly lit, but today it was cleaned up, even the snow disappeared.

There was no sound in the courtyard, Xie Li stepped up the steps, his clothes layered on top of each other, his pace was leisurely.On the bed in the inner room, Xi Zhen was curled up, clutching her heart, her dark red coat was in a mess, she opened her mouth but couldn't even speak.

When he saw Xie Li, his eyes suddenly widened, and then turned to hatred, looking at Xie Li viciously.

Xie Li opened the beaded jade curtain and walked into the room, condescendingly looking down at Xi Zhen on the bed.

He should be in extreme pain, his forehead was full of cold sweat, his black hair was scattered all over the bed and his body, but he bloomed like a dew peony, with an indescribable eroticism.That face, the paler the complexion, the redder the red lips, the snowy skin and beautiful appearance, is shocking.

Xie Li sized him up, and said in a soft voice, "You can take out such a small thing as a two-heart pot, so you can show it off."

Xi Zhen stared at him with wide eyes, as if he was looking at some evil ghost Rakshasa.

"You——Xie Li——" He couldn't say a complete sentence, but he just cursed, Xie Li didn't care.He pushed open the window, and the cold air rushed in from the window, dispelling the dull atmosphere in the room.

The second time the bell rang slowly, Xie Li waited quietly for the end of the bell, and said: "The competition has begun, Junior Brother, what you look like now, let alone number one, I am afraid that everyone can beat you."
