Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Retreat
Yang Cuixue narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction of the voice. The person who came was a young man wearing a black suit, a high ponytail, and a long sword hanging on his waist.
It seemed that he looked familiar... Just as the thought came to his mind, he heard someone behind him shouting: "Xu Qiyan, why is he here?"
The person who spoke was Master Liu. He and Xu Qiyan had crossed paths in the capital.
Master Liu was quite happy to see Xu Qiyan again. At the beginning, they were considered to have known each other without fighting, although Xu Yinluo's first impression was not good (he cut off his beloved sword when they met).
But the facts proved that Xu Yinluo's character was worthy of recognition. He tortured Miss Rongrong but did not take the opportunity to occupy her. After knowing that he had misunderstood, he not only apologized, but also compensated him with a magic weapon produced by the Sitianjian.
When Master Liu was reminiscing about the past, he suddenly saw his own Pavilion Master pressing his shoulder with an excited look, staring at him with burning eyes, and asked for confirmation:
"He, is he Xu Qiyan?"
Master Liu nodded blankly, "I have seen him in the capital, and Master Liu also knows him."
Yang Cuixue immediately looked at his junior brother, and Master Liu's master nodded, "It is indeed Xu Yinluo."
When Yang Cuixue looked at Xu Qiyan again, it was consistent with the portrait in his memory. It was indeed Xu Qiyan.
Liu Hu's eyes suddenly widened, and the figure of the young man was reflected in his eyes, and he remembered the topic that was still on his lips a few days ago.
Jianzhou is two thousand miles away from the capital. Excluding those large organizations with intelligence networks, it has only been half a decade for the wanderers and ordinary people to hear about the whole story of the Chuzhou massacre and see the emperor's confession.
After the news reached Chuzhou, it caused a sensation for a while. From the rivers and lakes to the government, everyone was talking about it. Everyone applauded Xu Yinluo's righteousness.
After the Buddhist battle, Xu Qian'an became famous again and became a hero and an honest official in the eyes of the people.
The jealous people in the martial arts world admired him even more.
He never expected that he would actually see the legendary figure with his own eyes.
He was indeed dignified and outstanding... Liu Hu admired him in his heart.
The feelings of other martial arts people were similar to his, with surprise mixed with astonishment.
We met Xu Yinluo in Chuzhou... This is a topic worth showing off.
Yang Cuixue looked serious and straightened his clothes. Then he went up to him and bowed, saying: "Mo Ge, Yang Cuixue, meet Xu Yinluo."
It should be extremely embarrassing for a senior fourth-grade master, the leader of a faction, to salute a junior. But the martial arts people present, as well as the blue-shirted swordsmen of Mo Ge, did not think that Yang Cuixue's behavior was inappropriate.
Xu Yinluo's series of feats, especially his performance in the Chuzhou massacre, deserve their respect.
"Master Yang is too polite. Xu is not worthy of such a gift." Xu Qian'an extended his hand to support him.
"Yang has been friends with Xu Yinluo for a long time. Now that I see him in person, I am very excited. I am very excited." Yang Cuixue smiled warmly, without any posture of a master.
After being friends for a long time, I always feel weird......Xu Qian'an smiled and said, "I have also heard of the name of the master for a long time."
In fact, I have never heard of it, but I still know how to brag about business.
The disciples of the Tiandihui looked at this scene in surprise. The master of the Mo Pavilion, who was originally arrogant and sarcastic with Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen, was now completely free of airs. He smiled warmly and spoke sincerely to Xu Yinluo.
And those Jianghu wanderers and blue-shirted swordsmen in the distance looked at him with smiles on their faces, and the tense atmosphere was completely gone.
For a moment, the female disciples looked at Xu Qi'an more and more obsessed. This man has a strong personal charm.
Chasing the brightest star is everyone's nature.
At this time and place, Xu Qi'an is undoubtedly the brightest star in their eyes.
He has such a strong reputation... Bai Lian Taoist nun could not hide her surprise in her beautiful eyes. She was indifferent, pure-hearted, and indifferent to fame and fortune. She judged others by herself and misjudged Xu Qi'an's reputation in the outside world.
"Master Yang, face and all that, it was just a joke."
After a few pleasantries, Xu Qi'an got straight to the point, bowed solemnly, and said sincerely: "I have a deep friendship with the Saintess of Tianzong and Brother Chu. This time, I was invited by them to come to Yueshi Villa to help guard the lotus seeds. I hope you will show me some mercy."
Yang Cuixue pondered for a moment, shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, since I know Xu Yinluo is guarding the lotus seeds, I will not intervene in this matter, otherwise I will lose my reputation in my later years."
Half joking and half serious tone.
"Thank you!"
Xu Qi'an turned to look at the others and said loudly: "Everyone, meeting by chance is fate. I hope you can show me some mercy. Let's make friends. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me, Xu Qi'an will do his best."
These words are very useful to everyone.
What is the most important thing for those who live in the underworld?
It is to give people face.
If you don't give people face, why live in the underworld?
Moreover, for a person like Xu Yinluo, one good word from him is more effective than ten thousand words from an ordinary person.
Liu Hu grinned and said loudly: "My mother likes to listen to other people's gossip. She heard about your deeds a while ago and kept praising Xu Yinluo after returning home. She said you are a great official. Let her know that I am against you."
"I will withdraw too. Damn it. I don't want to be stabbed in the back by the villagers." Someone echoed loudly.
"Xu Yinluo, a man's promise is worth a thousand gold. He said he would not participate. We can't write such a poem, but we recognize this principle." Someone else said.
This is a truly prestigious person. No one is willing to go against a truly prestigious person... Li Miaozhen puffed up her cheeks and felt a little jealous.
Unknowingly, Xu Qian'an has accumulated such a deep prestige.
I remember that he had sent a message through the Earth Book, asking her to help search for Zhou Chixiong, a captain of the Jinwu Guard who had fled to Yunzhou. At that time, he was weak and lacked connections.
More than half a year has passed, and he has caught up with her in both cultivation and reputation.
This reputation would make even the officials in the temple envious and beat their chests... Chu Yuanzhen watched silently. He has been in the martial arts world for many years, and Xu Qi'an's rapid rise is not only rare, but also unique.
Yang Cuixue hesitated for a moment, and then transmitted the message: "Mo Pavilion will not participate in this matter, but the Wulin League has many forces and many masters. The orthodox Taoist priests of the Earth Sect are the same. Xu Yinluo should remember to do what he can and not to show off.
"Tomorrow I will come to watch the battle, at a critical moment......"
He did not say it clearly.
The leader of Mo Pavilion is very chivalrous. No wonder Jiang Luzhong and others often say that the world is very interesting, ten thousand times more interesting than the officialdom. I will also travel around the world when I have time... Xu Qian'an nodded, did not refuse the other party's kindness, and transmitted the message: "Thank you, Pavilion Master."
Yang Cuixue waved his hand, bowed again, and left with the disciples of Mo Pavilion.
Liu Hu and others also left.
Huh... The disciples of the Tiandihui breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled happily.
"Mr. Xu. "
In the delicate voice, a girl with outstanding appearance came forward, put her hands behind her back, and pursed her lips: "Thank you for your help, Mr. Xu."
She had a pair of lively eyes that seemed to want to say something but couldn't. She was not very old, and after losing her baby fat, her chin just pointed revealed her pitiful weakness.
In another year or two, the man of your dreams would pinch her pointed chin and tease her: Little girl, you are mine today.
How old are you this year, do you have a boyfriend, can you add me on WeChat...Xu Qian'an asked three questions in his heart, but he looked very cold and just nodded.
The girl mustered up her courage, "Disciple, my name is Qiu Chanyi, Xu, Mr. Xu, you are also the holder of the Earth Book fragment, right? "
Hearing this, Master Hengyuan Chu Yuanzhen and Li Miaozhen looked over subconsciously.
Damn, you are so vicious, girl, you want me to die in public? Xu Qiyan said with a straight face, "I am not."
"Ah?"
This answer was beyond Qiu Chanyi's expectations. She opened her mouth slightly and was a little disappointed: "Then, then you really came because of the friendship between Senior Sister Miaozhen and Senior Brother Chu."
Other disciples also looked over.
They hoped that Xu Yinluo was a member of the Tiandihui, and not helping out of morality or friendship.
This is very important.
"I am here to investigate the case." Xu Qiyan rolled his eyes.
"Investigate the case?"
Qiu Chanyi tilted her head, innocently: "What kind of case can our Tiandihui have. "
Why do female cats scream at night? Why do old Taoist priests in their sixties often lie dead? Why are all the female cats in the villa pregnant? Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality? Do these count as cases?
Xu Qi'an smiled unconsciously and said, "I have a close relationship with Taoist Jinlian. Even if he is not the holder of the fragment of the Earth Book, he is not an outsider."
Taoist Nun Bailian looked at him strangely, not understanding why Xu Yinluo denied his identity.
"Hey, where is Senior Yang?" Xu Qi'an turned around.
"I don't know. After those Jianghu guys appeared, he disappeared." A disciple answered.
Where did Yang Qianhuan go to pretend again... Xu Qi'an analyzed, "The news of my coming here will definitely be spread through those people. There is a small town not far from Yue's Villa, right?"
The disciple who just spoke nodded.
"What is your Taoist name?" Xu Qi'an asked.
"Xu Yinluo, my name is Lingyun." The young disciple answered.
Xu Qian'an nodded, "Junior Brother Lingyun, I have a favor to ask of you. You should disguise yourself and go to the town to gather intelligence and see how the various people react."
The young Taoist priest Lingyun nodded excitedly, "Don't worry, Master Xu, I will definitely complete the task."
In a secluded corner somewhere, Yang Qianhuan squatted on the ground, drawing circles on the ground with his fingers, and murmured, "I understand, I understand. First of all, I have to accumulate enough reputation..."
.......
A dozen miles away from the villa, there is a small town, which is not very large. It runs a low-end brothel, two inns, and a restaurant.
The name of the restaurant is Sanxianfang. Roast chicken, crab roe buns, and plum wine are called the three immortals.
In the hot summer, having a jar of iced plum wine and a stack of roast goose is a great pleasure in life.
In recent days, countless people from the martial arts world have flocked to the town. The two inns and the brothel are full of people, but they still cannot accommodate the people from the martial arts world who came after hearing the news.
So some people stayed in private houses. People from other places would not dare to accept people from the underworld, especially those with young wives at home.......
But the people of Jianzhou are very tolerant of people from the underworld.
Because the underworld gangs in Jianzhou are responsible for maintaining public order to a certain extent, some people from other places will restrain their claws and teeth when they come here, no matter whether they are tigers or dragons, to avoid getting involved with the behemoth of the Wulin League.
There are also masters who are not afraid of the Wulin League, but such masters, no matter what their character is, will not bother to cause trouble to ordinary people.
Since the heroes who went to test the Yueshi Villa came back, the whole town has been in a state of excitement.
Xu Qian'an is here.
That's right, it's the Xu Qian'an of the Great Feng Silver Gong, the Xu Qian'an who beheaded the Duke of Guo at Caishikou.
This news is explosive. The capital is two thousand miles away from Chuzhou. The news of the Chuzhou massacre was just reported back to Jianzhou a few days ago, shocking the underworld and the government.
It has only been a few days, and the rumored righteous Xu Yinluo has appeared in Jianzhou.
"Do you know that Xu Yinluo has come to Yueshi Villa, and he is acquainted with the traitor of Dizong. Yang Pavilion Master of Mo Pavilion announced that he will not participate in this matter."
"Hey, Yang Pavilion Master is a decent person, and he would rather make friends with chivalrous men, so he will naturally not fight with Xu Yinluo."
"I am curious, how many people in our Jianzhou sect will quit? If it is only Mo Pavilion, hehe, then Yang Pavilion Master will be very happy."
"Yes, the good reputation has been taken by Mo Pavilion, and I will not participate. Xu Yinluo is righteous, and I don't have the nerve to snatch what he wants to protect."
"You haven't drunk much wine, but you are already confused, right? For a person like you, Xu Yinluo can crush you to death with one finger."
Three people happened to pass by the inn and heard every word of the conversation just now.
The combination of these three people is very strange. The one walking in the middle is a handsome young man in a white robe and jade belt. He has a handsome face and a good appearance, but there is a strong coldness between his eyebrows.
Behind him are two "giants" nine feet tall, wearing bamboo hats and black robes, one on the left and one on the right, protecting the young man in white.
"Xu Qian'an has also come to Jianzhou?"
The young man in white robe raised a cold arc at the corner of his mouth and said, "It's easy to find someone after searching for a long time. I originally wanted to meet him in a while, but I didn't expect to run into him today. This time it's not in vain."
The giant on the left whispered, "Young master, the master told you not to provoke him."
The giant on the right remained silent.
The young man in white robe said with a smile: "He is just a little bastard who has taken over the magpie's nest. How long can he be so arrogant? One day, I will beat his nerves, peel his skin, and suck his marrow out of his bones."
There was confidence in his words, as if it was a long-destined thing.
The giant on the left said: "Although this boy has not yet become a big shot, his ability is definitely not inferior to that of the young master. The young master must understand the principle that arrogant soldiers will never be defeated, and never take it lightly."
The giant on the right remained silent.
The young man in white robe said impatiently: "I know, I know, I have never underestimated him. The two of you, one is dumb, and the other can only give advice, which is very boring."
The left and right envoys are the protectors arranged by his father. Although they are a bit annoying, they are indeed outstanding and brave warriors. The young man in white robe has never seen them lose.
The young man in white robe stroked the jade ring and said leisurely: "I heard that Xu Qian'an's sword was made by the supervisor himself. Well, let's take his sword first this time. It's not too much to charge a little rent."
The giant on the left commented: "This sword is extremely sharp and can compete with "Moon Shadow". It's good for the young master to take it."
The giant on the right remained silent.
The young man in white robe laughed loudly and said: "Let's go. I heard that there is a party in Sanxianfang. Let's go and join in the fun. The owner of Wanhua Tower is a rare beauty."
