Shopkeeper Yan led Le Xiaoyi to walk and talk all the way. The two passed through Quhuan Lane and passed a deserted path. Le Xiaoyi saw an inconspicuous small yard on a small slope more than ten feet away. I can see that there are many weeds growing in the courtyard, and it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time.

Shopkeeper Yan noticed that Le Xiaoyi's gaze paused in one direction, followed Le Xiaoyi's gaze, and understood, before Le Xiaoyi asked, he took the initiative to introduce: "Miss Yi, please don't go there. Go there, there is a lunatic living in that yard, and he is famous in this Quhuan Lane."

Le Xiaoyi showed doubts on his face, so he listened to Shopkeeper Yan continue: "A passer-by once passed by here and went to ask for a bowl of water, but he was killed by that lunatic and hung in his yard. After a few days, his body rotted and spread all over the street. It's all smells, the government sent people to negotiate, and it took a lot of effort to take the body away."

"Such an arrogant person, the government can't control him?" Le Xiaoyi frowned, Shuiyang was more chaotic than she imagined.

"Where can I get it?" Shopkeeper Yan sighed helplessly, "Everyone knows that Shuiyang City is martial arts, but those who are strong in martial arts use martial arts to subdue others, even if the government comes forward, it depends on the mood whether to sell face or not, Shuiyang City The official government has long been used to these things."

Le Xiaoyi then withdrew his gaze, bearing in mind Liu Qingfeng's advice, no longer looking into the matter of the lunatic in the courtyard, and only said: "Where is the small courtyard that shopkeeper Yan said?"

"Miss Yi, please." Shopkeeper Yan also clicked there, without further words, smiled and led Le Xiaoyi to the other direction of the path.

Le Xiaoyi had seen the place where he lived. The yard was a bit old, but it was fully furnished and there was no problem for people to live in. Moreover, the yard was spacious, surrounded by mud walls, and a sycamore tree was planted in the corner, just like the summer , green branches and leaves, pleasing to the eye.

There is a well under the tree, so there is no need to go to the river to fetch water if there is a need for water.

"Miss Yi, what do you think of this courtyard?" Shopkeeper Yan asked with a smile, apparently very sure that Le Xiaoyi would like this courtyard.

Le Xiaoyi was indeed satisfied, nodded and said: "Very good, there is nothing to be picky about, then shopkeeper Yan, how about we pay the rent for this yard?"

Shopkeeper Yan replied to pay monthly, so the deal was finalized immediately. Le Xiaoyi paid one month's rent and lived in the courtyard.

In the past two days, Le Xiaoyi didn't go anywhere, first took the bedding in the house to the yard to dry, meditated and practiced in the house during the day, and practiced sword in the courtyard at dusk, after that, he washed and slept, and lived The rules are pretty good.

On the third night, Le Xiaoyi who was lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

The two men in black sneaked into the yard, slowed down their pace, touched the sill of the window outside the house, touched the window paper of the bedroom, and took a sneaky look inside.

In the dark room, a bag could be vaguely seen protruding from the bed. One of the men in black gestured to the person beside him to confirm that there was nothing abnormal in the target's deep sleep, so the man took out a reed pipe from his pocket and pointed towards There was a puff of smoke in the room.

The two waited outside the house for a while, calculating that it was almost time, one pushed the door lightly and entered the house, while the other stayed outside the door to watch the wind.

After about a stick of incense, Wangfeng felt strange, why did he go in and still not come out?

He looked into the room through the hole in the window, but he couldn't see the situation clearly, when he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck, his eyes were dark, and he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, the sky was already bright, and the door opened with a creak, Le Xiaoyi looked down at the two men in black lying outside the door, his eyes widened in surprise: "Who are you?!"

The two looked at each other, flustered and at a loss, jumped up and ran away scrambling.

Le Xiaoyi leaned against the door, folded his arms, his surprised expression disappeared, replaced by a playful smile.

She went back to the house and changed her clothes, and locked the door when she went out. She planned to go to the city to find something to do. Although she was not short of money for the time being, she would have to stay outside for a few months, and she would not be able to sit and eat. She had to find a way to make ends meet. .

What's more, if you want to practice, you have to enter the world, and if you enter the world, you need to understand the sufferings of ordinary people. If you just look for a place to live in seclusion, it will be contrary to her purpose of coming down the mountain.

When passing the previous path, Le Xiaoyi seemed to have a feeling, and took a look at the small courtyard on the slope, but the courtyard door was closed, and the inside was also bleak and desolate, which did not change in the slightest from what she saw before, and then she looked away , Drilled into Quhuan Lane and went to the market.

Not long after Le Xiaoyi left, Ji Yuxuan, who was dressed in plain white robes, appeared outside the courtyard, and the courtyard door opened without wind.

Ji Yuxuan stepped into the house, and the house built of mud and tiles was empty. An unkempt man was leaning against the wall, his feet were tied with an arm-thick iron chain, and the other end of the iron chain was buried in the ground. Know.

"What's the matter today?" The man raised his head, his hair spread out in front of his forehead, revealing his deeply sunken, eyeless right eye, and a distorted dark scar running through his entire cheek, making him look hideous Like a wild beast.

In front of this man who was more miserable than a beggar, Ji Yuxuan's attitude was quite respectful. He walked two steps away and sat down on the floor: "This junior got a piece of news today that Le Xiaoyi, the daughter of Senior Le Junhao, has passed away." A few days ago, she left the sect to practice, and according to the reports from the eyeliners planted by the younger generation, she should have come to Yuezhou."

The man's closed left eye opened when he heard the sound, and his eyeballs were scarlet: "You never talk about it with me indiscriminately, but what is your purpose?"

"What are you talking about, senior?" Ji Yuxuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "This junior just relayed the information to senior truthfully, and there is also a gossip that Shuiyang's Snake Capture Dragon Gang and Yuchi's have reached a cooperation. The content of the cooperation has not yet been ascertained, but there is a dark thread in the Dragon Clan who vaguely heard Junlan Sword mentioned in their discussions."

"Sword of Jun Lan?" The man's eyes flashed a fierce light, "Is the news true?"

"I'm not sure yet, but I'm [-]% sure it's true." Ji Yuxuan replied calmly, "The junior is asking people to hurry up and confirm. It is estimated that there will be a definite answer by tonight at the latest."

After chatting with the man for a while, Ji Yuxuan got up to say goodbye, walked to the door, and suddenly heard the man behind him say coldly: "Ji Yuxuan, no matter what you want to do, but I warn you, don't take advantage of Le Xiaoyi."

Ji Yuxuan paused, didn't respond well, and didn't respond badly, and walked straight away.

Le Xiaoyi passed by Yan's cloth shop, stopped for a while at the steamed bun shop opposite the cloth shop, chatted with the old man who sold the buns, and then went to the teahouse. The younger brother saw her coming, greeted her with a smile, and asked her Is the matter of renting a small courtyard going well?

"Successful, shopkeeper Yan is very nice, and the rent of the yard is not high." Le Xiaoyi smiled, and stuffed two copper coins into the second hand, "Thank you, brother, for connecting."

The second brother said "I'm sorry", but he took the copper coin. Le Xiaoyi took advantage of the situation and asked, "Are there any gangs or famous people in this city of Shuiyang? Would you like to tell me, brother?" Let's get to know each other a lot?"

"It's easy to say!" The second brother answered quickly, "The biggest gang in our Shuiyang is the Qinlong Gang. The gang leader Li Qinlong was born in the Yandao Sect. Guang, besides the Yandaomen, there are people known by Gang Leader Li in many other big clan families, and the shopkeeper Yan of Yan's Cloth Shop is also Gang Leader Li's sister-in-law!"

The second brother talked endlessly about the Dragon Capture Gang: "Anyone who practices martial arts, if they have any real skills, would like to join the Dragon Capture Gang. I don’t know martial arts, and I want to follow Leader Li to fight in the rivers and lakes!"

Le Xiaoyi rested his chin and pondered, then asked: "Apart from Chief Li, is there any other masters in Shuiyang?"

The younger brother snorted when he heard the words, and said: "Yes, there are, such as Zhou Yunshan from Nanyang Security Bureau, Iron Hand Fu Hu from Lianyunzhuang, and Zhou Tang, the famous Patriarch of the Zhou family in Shuiyang. Innate master."

When mentioning these people, the younger brother's tone was completely different from that of Li Qinlong. Le Xiaoyi thought that in the eyes of this person, Gang Leader Li is probably a hero who can reach the sky.

Then, what about the lunatic behind Quhuan Lane?Le Xiaoyi thought suddenly.

What the second brother mentioned to her are all the forces on the surface of Shuiyang City. In fact, whether it is Xuantian Palace, Sword God Sect, or the four major families, they all have strongholds in such large cities.

Le Xiaoyi inquired about some information before leaving the teahouse and walked down the street to the city. She didn't know where the stronghold of Xuantian Palace was, and even if she knew, she wouldn't openly ask Ji Yuxuan's whereabouts.

And she didn't intend to go to the hall outside the Sword God Sect in the mortal town, and completely hide her whereabouts, so as to avoid the investigation and tracking of Yuchi's family to the greatest extent.

So many years have passed since Le Junhao's death, and Yuchi is still so crazy, Le Xiaoyi has reason to believe that they will not stop their investigation of her easily.

While she was thinking about something, she was walking along the street when she heard a commotion and looked up.

A lot of people gathered on the road ahead, pointing and discussing.

Le Xiaoyi frowned, but didn't stop walking, planning to pass through the crowd directly.

Just at this moment, sobbing and sobbing cries came through the crowd, Le Xiaoyi looked through the overlapping figures and saw a woman kneeling and weeping on the side of the road, the one beside her was rolled up in a bamboo mat, her face was gray Green old man.

"Please do me a favor." The woman looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, with an ordinary appearance, ragged clothes, and her eyes were red from crying. "My grandpa passed away due to illness. I hope someone with good intentions will pay for a coffin." Let grandpa go to the ground for peace, and the slave family is willing to be a cow or a horse to repay the great kindness."

She was crying and about to kowtow, Le Xiaoyi felt very sad seeing this scene, and immediately remembered that when she first saw Ji Yuxuan, she was also in such a mess, kneeling on the street for several days in order to ask for money for her adoptive mother's burial.

A coffin is said to be expensive or not, but few people are willing to pay that kind of money, and even if there are, most of them have other plans.

Le Xiaoyi sighed.

She passed through the crowd, walked towards the girl, and took out two pieces of silver from her sleeve: "Take it and bury the old man."

The woman looked up at her, with tears in her eyes, she seemed to be stupefied for a moment before she understood, her eyes were full of tears, she bent down to kowtow again, Le Xiaoyi helped her up: "It's just a little effort, girl don't have to do this."

After saying that, Le Xiaoyi turned around and left.

The woman watched Le Xiaoyi walk away, and the onlookers dispersed.

Le Xiaoyi crushed the wax pill in his hand, and took a look at the note wrapped in the wax pill. The writing on the note was clear and meaningful:

Nanyang Escort.

A few simple small words reveal a familiar warm smell.
