Let’s split the story into two parts, let’s look at the Fire Lotus Sect.
At this time, Shi Xuanzi was in a room in the main altar, preparing to "consecrate" a civilian girl who had been honored by his subordinates.
Unexpectedly, before this guy took off his pants, a shout suddenly came from outside the house.
"Leader - something bad is going to happen!"
The voice came from far away and came to the door in the blink of an eye.
Zixuanzi is not deaf either. This person has already arrived at the door, so he can't ignore it.
"You bastard! What are you yelling about!" Xie Xuanzi felt unhappy because he was being disturbed, so he cursed a few times through the door, and then said, "What on earth is going on?" Are you so panicked?"
"Report...to the leader, Qing...Qingliantang...something happened!" The man who came to report was out of breath. Breathing heavily while speaking.
"A big deal? What big deal can happen to them?" When Xi Xuanzi asked this question, he did not realize the seriousness of the matter. "Could it be possible that their court can be demolished?" "Isn't it possible?"
"Teacher...Master, you don't know something..." The guy took a few more breaths and finally managed to tell the whole story, "According to the brothers of Qinglian Hall Report, just now... Hall Master Chen and all the officials under him were killed completely..."
"What?" Xi Xuanzi only heard half of the words, and said He was so shocked that he rushed out of the room, grabbed the collar of the gangster and said, "Tell me clearly, what is going on? Where did the other party come from? How many people came?"
Although the guy was a little panicked when asked such a direct question by the leader, he was still able to answer tremblingly: "Uh... Come back to the leader, the murderer's name is Xiao Wuji; this person today He suddenly broke into Qinglian Hall and first declared that he would join our religion and would not do so unless he was the chief official. However, after Hall Master Chen accepted him, he suddenly betrayed him for unknown reasons and massacred everyone in the Qinglian Hall meeting hall. After that, he walked away..."
"Huh? "This corpse is quite good at focusing on the key points. The other party said so much, but he only focused on one point - the most important point." You mean... there is only one person on the other side?"
"Uh...yes" the man nodded.
Xi Xuanzi’s expression changed slightly when he heard this.
After a brief thought, he quickly regained his composure and let go of the minion.
Then, Shi Xuanzi sneered and muttered to himself: "Huh... ok, Jiang Muchan came last night, and Xiao Wuji showed up again today. It seems that the recent There are quite a few ghosts and monsters in Jining."
At this point, he looked at the man again and raised his voice: "How old is this smiling person?" "Reply to the leader, many brothers in Qinglian Hall have seen it," the man replied, "According to them, this person's face is very strange. He had a strange smile on his face, which looked a bit oozing... In addition, when he came out of Qinglian Hall, he hadHe is also wearing the sacred robes of our Fire Lotus Sect. "
Xi Xuanzi asked again: "What weapon did he use? "
The guy paused for a second and then replied: "Uh... it's a knife. ”
“Oh? Is he another swordsman..." Shi Xuanzi groaned, and then fell into thinking.
After a while, Xie Xuanzi made up his mind, spoke again, and said to the gangster: "Well... you should pass the order now and ask the heads of the red, blue, black and white halls to come to the main altar to take orders; and also order people to go to the city gates everywhere, and talk to the chief flag officers there. Our self-taught brothers all informed... and said that from now on, Jining City is 'allowed to enter but not allowed to leave'. Anyone who violates the rules will be punished as a party liar, even those wearing the holy robes of our Fire Lotus Sect will not be exempted. . ”
…………
At the same time, there is a post house outside Jining City.
Even if it is a post house, there will always be one or two. Not bad.
The one who heard the jade was from the upper room.
At this moment, there were people in the room, and there was food on the table and wine in the glass. /p>
But... the person he invited to drink didn't arrive for a long time.
Wen Yuzhai didn't often wait for people, because others were usually waiting for him.
Of course, if he has to wait, he can be very patient.
He once caught a fresh winter fish from a hole in the ice by the "Jade Diaosou". He stood in the ice and snow for a whole night; he once waited stupidly for three days and three nights on a mountain road in order to kill a horse thief who was not very famous.
Sometimes he waited for others to enjoy. Sometimes it's for commitment.
No matter what the motivation is, as long as he thinks it's "worth it", he can wait without being impatient at all.
And today's guest is undoubtedly. ...It was worth his wait.
Pop--
Just when the dishes on the table were about to get cold, the person Wen Yuzhai was waiting for finally arrived. .
The man did not come in through the door, but jumped in from the outside.
Fortunately, Wen Yuzhai did not close the window of the room, otherwise it would be a disaster. When the other party bumped into each other like this, they had to drink against each other in the cold wind outside today.
"Good work. "Most of the time, Wen Yuzhai is very calm; for example, right now, not only did he not show any surprise or displeasure at the other person's behavior of jumping in through the window, he also calmly praised the other person's Qinggong.
Of course, he didn't exaggerate. After all... this is also the third floor, and the other party only made a sound when he opened the window, but there was no movement at all when he landed on the ground.
< p>"What is this? "The brother who came in through the window was also rude. After landing, he just said casually and walked straight to the table. Without waiting for the host to say "please", he walked to the table with a loud voice. As soon as he sat down, he put his sword aside, picked up his chopsticks and started eating."Your Majesty, you have been late for so long, and yet you are so sudden.Didn't you plan to explain a few words when you came in through the window? "Wen Yuzhao said.
"No plan. "The man replied.
"Ha..." Wen Yucai smiled, "I have always heard that the 'Three-Character King' behaves surly and out of the ordinary, and now that I see him... he is indeed well-deserved. ”
“Let’s get down to business. "The three-character king doesn't want to be nagging him. It's time to eat vegetables, eat vegetables, and drink wine. Anyway, he only said three words when he replied. Eat and drink without delay."
"Okay, talk quickly, I like it. . Wen Yuzhai took advantage of the situation and said, "I heard that as long as the price is right, you are willing to take on any job?" ”
“Nothing wrong. "The three-character king continued.
"In addition to price, do you have anything else to pay attention to when doing docking work? "Wen Yuzhai asked again.
"It depends on your mood. "Three-word king."
"Hahaha..." Wen Yuzhai smiled again, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Then I won't beat around the bush, let me ask, if I invite you to go Wu Jian Villa kills people... Do you dare? "
The chopsticks in the hands of the Three-Character King stopped.
This time, he looked at Wen Yuzhai for a few seconds, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said: "Sword Master ? "
"Exactly. "When Wen Yu picked up this sentence, his eyes were staring directly at the eyes of the Three-Word King, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth... That look was just like the "evil, charming and arrogant person" in some TV dramas. "The overbearing president" was looking at Silly Baitian with his eyes.
"I can't answer it." "The three-character king refused quickly.
"Why? Wen Yuzhai frowned slightly, "I haven't said the price yet." ”
“Can’t beat it. "And the Three-Word King gave him a very good reason.
"Oh? Wen Yuzhai's eyes changed slightly, "How do you know you can't beat me?" Have you ever fought against Xiao Zhun? "
"None of your business? "The Three-Word King didn't want to answer this question.
" Ha... I'm sorry, it was Wen who was abrupt. Wen Yuzhai said, picking up the wine glass and raising it respectfully, "I'll punish myself with one drink." "
The three-character king ignored him and watched him finish the drink with a cold look.
After hearing the drink, Yuzhai smiled and said: "However, Your Excellency, you don't have to drink it so quickly. Make a decision, because Wen has other conditions that he didn't mention. ”
“You tell me. "The Three-Character King responded in an impatient tone.
Wen Yuzhai nodded, and then said: "Xiao Zhun's sword skills are unparalleled in the world, and Wujian Villa is even more masterful. I want to use it with my own. Trying to take Xiao Zhun's head is as difficult as climbing to the sky... Therefore, I never planned to let you go alone. He paused for half a second, raised his hand and made a "seven" gesture, "I want to gather seven people, and you... are one of them." "
As soon as these words came out, the three-character king's expression changed a little. He thought for a moment and then said: "Which seven? "
Wen Yuzhao replied: "There are only three people I have identified so far, one is you, one is the 'Canglong Hidden Peak' Haicangfeng hero, and there is another person...named Xiao, You probably don't know him, butHe is in Jining City now. I have been chasing him for several days. I should be able to catch up with him tomorrow. "
The three-character king looked at Wen Yuzhai and frowned: "You don't count? "
"Heh..." Wen Yuzhai smiled bitterly, "I would also like to count, but unfortunately my martial arts is not suitable for joining these seven people. "
"How to say? "Three words of kingship.
Wen Yuzhao said: "To kill Xiao Zhun, there are three difficulties - one is to break the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to One' formation at Wujian Villa; , is to defeat Xiao Zhun's nine most outstanding swordsmen, namely the 'Nine Heaven Swords'; and the third one... is that after overcoming the first two difficulties, he has to face the peak swordsmanship of the swordsman himself... ..." He paused, "Based on what I have learned, in today's world, if you want to pass these three levels, you can only gather the 'Four Swords and Three Swords' and recreate the legendary 'Seven Absolute Swords Formation'. "
"Heh..." Hearing this, the Three-Word King suddenly smiled, "Interesting..."
When Wen Yuzhai saw this, he also raised his eyebrows: "Your Excellency, you have Interested? "
The Three-Word King did not answer this question, but asked: "Let's talk about the price first. "
As soon as the three-character king said these words, Wen Yuzhai knew that the deal was basically completed.
"Wen knew that for a job like this, only a few Money, I guess you don't like it, so..." When Wen Yuzhai said this, he reached into his arms and quickly took out something.
The Three-Character King is also a man of opinion. A person who enjoys big scenes, but at this moment, when he saw the object that Wen Yuzhao took out, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in a surprised tone: "'True Hero Order'? "
Wen Yuzhai's reaction to the Three-Character King was not surprising. In fact, this reaction was quite calm.
"Wen Yuzhai has also contributed to the world in recent years... I did something, so two years ago, 'Senior Zai' gave me this True Hero Token as a thank you, but I... I never had the chance to use it. "Wen Yuzhai continued calmly, "If you don't give up, after the matter is completed, this order will be given to you as a reward. Of course... Wen will also go to Senior Zai in person afterwards and tell him that my order has been transferred to you. . ”
The three-character king hesitated.
It was not because the reward was not valuable enough, but because he needed to evaluate whether he could afford it.
The food on the table has gone cold.
The Three-Word King also stood up again.
"Your Excellency's reply is..." Wen Yuzhao said as he saw him stand up. asked.
“Four short. "The three-character king responded.
Wen Yuzhai also understood what he meant, so he smiled and said: "Heh... So you are considered one of the two swords at present? "
The Three-Word King nodded and walked to the window: "I'll wait for you. ”
