He called himself this seat, but even Ling Zichu was a little confused, and he came back to his senses after a while, and murmured: "Your words, this seat, do have a bit of the demeanor of your adoptive father back then."

Yue Xiao also raised his eyebrows and smiled, and then Shen Qingyu felt a little embarrassed. He blurted out that sentence somehow, turned his face away in embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "Time is running out, let's start the arrangement."

They were quietly busy arranging traps inside and outside the medicine hut, and they also had to be careful not to be discovered by Ying Zhengyang's guards who stayed at the foot of the mountain. A day passed without knowing it.

At night, Shen Ruiwen and Ling Zichu went to deliver food to the people down the mountain. They put drugs in the food and hid the guards so that they would not accidentally hurt them when Zhang Xiuyuan and others came, and then went back to In the medicine hut, waiting for Zhang Xiuyuan to visit.

When it was approaching, there was finally movement in the forest.

Shen Qingyu heard the rustling footsteps, Zhang Xiuyuan obviously didn't pay much attention to them, so he led them up the mountain in such a fair manner.Shen Qingyu looked out from the window in the room, Zhang Xiuyuan really brought a lot of people, Zhang Xiuming was also there, but the weirdest masked man was not here.

He remembered that when Zhang Xiuyuan attacked them in the previous life, the masked man followed them all the way, but never made a move, so he did not see the martial arts of the masked man.Now that the masked man has never appeared, Shen Qingyu felt a little weird, but it proved his conjecture even more.

If he remembered correctly, Ying Zhengyang's birthday banquet was held every night in the mansion, and the guests were all famous figures in the Jianghu. If one person was absent, the others would easily find out.That person didn't dare to come here at this time, maybe it was to cover up something.

The men in black at the head were Zhang Xiuyuan's subordinates, he didn't pay attention, he only thought that what they were going to kill were some sick and disabled people who didn't know how to fight. He was tightly tied and hung up on the tree. He was a martial artist at any rate, so he realized it in an instant, bowed down and cut the rope on his leg, rolled over and fell on the ground, stabilized his body, and said: "There is a trap. !"

Zhang Xiuyuan sneered and said, "Just this little trick?"

Before he finished speaking, the man in black who had been caught in the trap earlier fell to the ground with his mouth covered. He was still twitching uncontrollably. When he fell and fell to the ground, he raised dust all over the ground. They covered their mouths and noses. The cough continued, and several people fell down in an instant.

The rest of the people retreated a few steps in fright, but the surroundings were already filled with dust. Zhang Xiuyuan and Zhang Xiuming looked at each other for a while, and first jumped up to the top of the tree with one foot, and the others followed suit, but after all, their lightness was not as good as the two of them , the treetop shook violently, someone stretched out his hand to support the trunk, the trunk was coated with something, it was a little slippery, the person looked sideways, and the skin on his palm was so eroded, the pain was excruciating. , he couldn't help struggling in panic, the shadow of the tree swayed for a moment, the branches slapped on the rest of the people indiscriminately, and it was also very poisonous, and several people fell to the top of the tree.

Zhang Xiuyuan frowned, knowing that what happened tonight might not be that simple.

He looked around, most of the people who came with him had been lost, but they hadn't even seen the face of the target, he seemed to have understood something, among the swaying trees, he vaguely saw the roof of the medicine hut Stand alone.

The moonlight was dim tonight, the sky was covered with overcast clouds, the wind was bleak, and it seemed that it was going to snow again. Zhang Xiuyuan sneered, stepped on the treetops and jumped to the roof of the medicine hut, and Zhang Xiuming followed his footsteps.Through the dim light, the two of them clearly saw Yue Xiao, who was supposed to be poisoned, sitting on the eaves with his legs crossed, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hands, as if he was watching a good show. Seeing that the two of them finally came, they slightly He shook his hand with a smile, but his eyes were as sharp as a blade, and he stared straight at Zhang Xiuyuan.

"Zhang Xiuyuan." He brushed his clothes and got up, smiled softly, his tone was full of provocation, and said, "Aren't you going to try my knife?"

……

Zhang Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, and suddenly the sword was out of its sheath.

He learned from Ling Feng's sword He Zhufeng, and his sword was as fierce as the wind, and he went straight to Yue Xiao. When Zhang Xiuming saw his elder brother make a move, he also drew his sword to help. His swordsmanship was superior to Zhang Xiuyuan's, and the two teamed up, and they cooperated seamlessly. , although Yue Xiao was able to cope with it with ease, but he could not break through.

Shen Qingyu was watching the battle from below. Seeing Yue Xiao being dragged by the two of them, his heart skipped a beat. He understood that Zhang Xiuyuan saw that Yue Xiao hadn't been poisoned this time, and knew that he and Zhang Xiuming were not Yue Xiao's opponents. Delaying time... The masked man is not here, maybe they want to wait for the masked man to come over.

In his last life, Shen Qingyu had never seen the masked man make a move, but he still remembered how the always arrogant Zhang Xiuyuan respected the masked man. It was a look of fear and awe of the opponent's strength. Shen Qingyu felt bad, so he gritted his teeth and pushed the door open. The courtyard raised a voice and shouted to Yue Xiao: "They are deliberately procrastinating! Make it quick!"

Yue Xiaozheng also felt strange, he was disturbed by being dragged, and was about to break through the formation, but Zhang Xiuyuan immediately changed his sword technique after hearing Shen Qingyu's shout, it was definitely not He Zhufeng's Lingfeng sword, his sword move was weird, even Yue Xiao has never seen it before. It looks weak and weak, but there are murderous intentions hidden everywhere, which is really weird.

Yue Xiao couldn't help but glance a few more times. This is really not the way of the Central Plains Jianghu. The cooperation of the two made him frequently in danger. It's just that they are not as familiar with this sword technique as Ling Fengjian. Yue Xiao took advantage of the loophole , he broke through Zhang Xiuyuan, who was weak in martial arts, and slashed Zhang Xiuyuan's back shoulder with a knife.

The ground outside was sprinkled with a layer of poisonous powder by Ling Zichu. Yue Xiao and others had taken the antidote in advance, but Zhang Xiuyuan hadn't. The wound on his shoulder was bleeding profusely. He reacted quickly, and immediately sealed several acupuncture points on his body to prevent the poison from attacking his heart, but Yue Xiao looked down at him from above, and said coldly: "You are nothing more than that."

Zhang Xiuyuan gritted his teeth, but he couldn't use force anymore, only Yue Xiao and Zhang Xiuming were left in the room.Zhang Xiuming seemed to shrink back a little. He took a step back, as if he was about to escape, but he took a false step, and suddenly raised his sword and stabbed at Shen Qingyu who was in the courtyard.

Yue Xiao was startled, but he saw a flash of golden light from the corner of his eye. He stopped, but saw a large golden sword hitting Zhang Xiuming's sword. Zhang Xiuming felt the hand holding the sword go numb, and almost dropped the sword On the ground, he didn't hurt Shen Qingyu, he barely grasped the sword and stepped back a few steps. He saw a person flying by, took the big knife in his hand, and stood on the ground, ignoring Zhang Xiuming, but looked up. , Said: "A Xiao, I finally found you."

It was Jiang Yan who came.

Snow was gradually falling in the sky, and Jiang Yan was alone in the courtyard with a knife, looked up at Yue Xiao coldly, and said, "You follow me back immediately."

The courtyard was paved with blue stones, Ling Zichu did not sprinkle poisonous powder here, they could still stand and talk, Yue Xiao coughed a few times, his eyes were still fixed on Zhang Xiuming, but he was extremely cramped, nervously walked from the roof After coming down, she landed beside Shen Qingyu, cleared her throat, and said, "Now...now is not the time yet."

Jiang Yan asked: "Why?"

Yue Xiao just glanced back at Shen Qingyu behind Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan also glanced sideways, understanding in his heart, and asked: "Is this the person you mentioned?"

Yue Xiao frowned slightly. Seeing Jiang Yan here, he already knew that they would be able to escape safely tonight.And Shen Qingyu ordered him to make a quick decision, so he understood that Zhang Xiuyuan and the others might have some other tricks, if they dragged on here for a long time, they might have problems instead, and they should leave as soon as possible.

Yue Xiao said, "I have something to ask."

Jiang Yan: "Say."

Yue Xiao went to him and whispered a few words with him, Jiang Yan's expression remained unchanged, he just nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

Yue Xiao said again: "After this matter, you come to the place I told you, and I will go back with you."

Jiang Yan asked back, "Is this true?"

Yue Xiao: "One thousand gold, one promise."

So Jiang Yan finally showed a little smile on his lips, and said, "Okay."

He stood in front of Yue Xiao with a horizontal knife, and put his eyes on Zhang Xiuming coldly. Zhang Xiuyuan had already walked over with his shoulders and dragged his sword. He stood with Zhang Xiuming, and the two of them looked at Jiang carefully. Yan, Zhang Xiuming took out a small white porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Zhang Xiuyuan. Zhang Xiuyuan uncorked the bottle and poured the medicinal powder into his mouth.After a few steps away, Yue Xiao also smelled a strange fragrance, and although Zhang Xiuyuan coughed a few times, his complexion also improved a lot. He raised his sword again, his gaze became even weirder, looking at Seeing Yue Xiao grinning, he said, "Do you want to escape?"

Yue Xiao ignored him, he pulled Shen Qingyu over and said, "Let's go."

Shen Qingyu was startled, but instead looked at Jiang Yan: "But him?"

Yue Xiao said in a low voice and indifferently: "Don't worry, they are not my senior brother's opponents."

Shen Qingyu couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the word senior brother, and turned his head to look at Jiang Yan one more time.He had secretly sent back the letter to Ying Zhengyang during the day, and they planned to leave here tonight.He followed Yue Xiao's footsteps, but Zhang Xiuyuan and Zhang Xiuming naturally wouldn't let them leave easily. After taking the medicine, Zhang Xiuyuan seemed to have suppressed the poison in his body. , It doesn't look like a normal person at all.

Jiang Yan stopped in front of the two of them.

He took off the long knife behind him, slowly pulled the knife out of the gold-plated scabbard, and stood in the road with the knife.

It was definitely a good knife, the edge of the blade was cold, and it shone with cold light in the night, the fine snow was blowing on the blade, and it was actually cut into two pieces.Although Zhang Xiuyuan didn't recognize him, he also knew that this person was not simple. He looked at Jiang Yan carefully and threatened, "If you don't want to die, get out."

Jiang Yan ignored Zhang Xiuyuan's threat.

He looked up at Zhang Xiuyuan and Zhang Xiuyuan without moving, his eyes were as ice-cold as a pool, as if warning, but also slightly sullen.

"You were the one who poisoned my junior brother?" He proudly said coldly, "You really deserve to die."
