Wulin Xiaohui

It is only thirty miles away from Liangtang City, and there are only two roads going south from Liangtang, one leading to Dingzhou and the other leading to Wuzhou. The two roads intersect at a place called Zhikou ten miles away from Liangtang.If you want to go from Dingzhou to Wuzhou, you have to pass through Zhikou.

Shen Yizhou's group lost interest in sightseeing, and arrived at Zhikou non-stop. They inquired at Zhikou and confirmed that Xu Lian had indeed gone to Wuzhou.

When we arrived in Wuzhou, it was just getting dark, and we booked three upper rooms at the inn in the city. Uncle Guan drove the carriage for a day, and took a rest after dinner.

Just in time for the Wuzhou Temple Fair, Xiuxiu heard from the people in the inn that there would be lanterns at night, and she made a fuss to go there after dinner, Shen Yizhou had no choice but to stuff Zhu Tang to her, and found a place for herself.

Shen Yizhou went back to his room and slept until midnight, thinking that he shouldn't drink so much water while struggling to get up.When I got back to bed, I found that most of my sleepiness had disappeared, so I dressed while awake and went wandering in the deserted streets.

Wuzhou is not like Dingzhou. The streets are very clean in the middle of the night, and there are no drunk people from the rivers and lakes.

Shen Yizhou walked alone on the empty street, admiring the house signs and carved bucket arches on the street.It happened to be the fifteenth day, and it was a sunny autumn day. The moon was round and bright, hanging between the tall buildings on both sides of the long street, illuminating the whole street clearly.

Looking at the full moon in the sky, Shen Yizhou felt a sudden sense of intimacy. With a touch of his toes, he jumped onto the roof of a tall building and sat on the ridge to watch the moon.Just as he was about to find a comfortable position, he found that there was another person on the roof of another tall building nearby.

The man was standing, looking tall and straight under the bright moon.Shen Yizhou was just about to say hello, but he saw the man suddenly moved, leaped a few times on the roof of the forest, and fled towards the dense forest covered by the moonlight in the distance.

I don't know who this person drifting away under the moonlight is, he is reluctant to part with this beautiful moonlight, and Shen Yizhou doesn't want to find out what's going on.

It took a long time for Shen Yizhou to return to the inn, afraid of waking Ye Zang, he didn't go through the door, but quietly entered the room through the window.It was only after entering the door that it was unnecessary, the quilt on Ye Zang's bed was lifted, and he didn't know where he went.

Ye Zang didn't rest in the carriage during the day, and now he didn't know where to go in the middle of the night, Shen Yizhou couldn't help but envy his exuberant energy.He also remembered that he was also half a head taller than himself, and he was a rich man, so he couldn't help being a little jealous.

After sighing, Shen Yizhou was about to take a rest when he suddenly heard a soft sound coming from outside the window.He grabbed the sword by the bed, hid vigilantly in the dark, and stared out the window.

After a while, I saw a figure turning in gently, with his back to the moonlight, and tiptoeing towards the bed, he heard that the martial arts of the man was not low.Shen Yizhou was about to swing his sword when he suddenly heard someone whispering to the bed curtain: "Yizhou, Yizhou."

"Brother Qinghe?" Surprised and delighted, Shen Yizhou came out from the shadows and greeted him.

The man followed his reputation and saw Shen Yizhou's face, he was also very happy: "Yizhou, it's really you."

Under the faint moonlight, the visitor was dressed in blue-gray knightly attire, and his square face was full of surprises.

Shen Yizhou came here originally for Sha Qinghe, but he didn't expect that he would be found by the other party first, so he started to ask in a hurry after being pleasantly surprised.

"Brother Qinghe, I've heard about you, what's going on?"

Sha Qinghe walked to the window vigilantly, looked out for a while, closed the window gently, and then walked to the only table in the room and sat down, pulled out a knife from behind, and placed it horizontally on the table .

"Broken Wind Knife?" Shen Yizhou asked in surprise, "You really took the Duan Wind Knife?"

Sha Qinghe hastily made a downward movement with his hand: "Slow down."

Shen Yizhou felt that he couldn't understand: "Aren't you not interested in Duanfeng Dao?"

Sha Qinghe nodded vigorously: "I'm still not interested."

"Then why..."

Sha Qinghe sighed: "It's a long story, but to make it short, my master must pass on the headship to me, and I don't want to, but only my master and I know about this matter, so my second junior brother thought I was I also want to be the head of the sect, and then my junior brother went outside to hook up with someone, and killed the master while I was away, this traitor!"

When Sha Qinghe said this, he clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the table: "I falsely agreed to master, and honestly took over as the head of the sect. After half a year, I will pass the position to my third junior brother..."

"Yang Xin is a shameless person, I will cut him into pieces."

Shen Yizhou felt at ease, Sha Qinghe was indeed still the same as before, but he did not know why he fell into this unbelievable situation.

"Brother Qinghe, they don't believe what you said?"

Sha Qinghe's voice lowered significantly: "My master's time is short, I went to Nanshan to seek medicine, but unfortunately, master went there before I came back."

"At first, I thought Master died of illness, but my junior brother told me that before Master died, he saw Yang Xin sprinkle something into the soup.

I went to confront Yang Xin, but unexpectedly, I happened to break through that he was talking to others, and talked about their killing of Master. "

"Yang Xin knew that I had discovered the fact that he had killed Master, so the villain filed a complaint first. He took out the letter written by Master's pen and passed it on to him. The letter also mentioned my wolf ambition and wanted to expel me from the master."

"I read the letter, and it was indeed Master's handwriting, but I knew the letter must be fake. Yang Xin deceived the master and exterminated the ancestors. As a senior brother, I will kill this villain for the master, and I vow to behead him." Under Duanfeng Dao. It's a pity that there is a man in black beside Yang Xin to help, not only can I not kill him, but I was chased and killed by the master he called."

Hearing this, Shen Yizhou was also filled with righteous indignation, wishing to smash Yang Xin's body to pieces immediately.

Just as he was about to speak, the door of the room was opened, and Ye Zang walked in from the door with his coat on.

Sha Qinghe stood up in a jerk, and stood in front of Shen Yizhou: "Who?" Ye Zang also quickly drew his sword.

Shen Yizhou quickly grabbed Sha Qinghe's forearm: "Brother Qinghe, this is Liangtang Yezang."

Ye Zang put away his sword, looked at Sha Qinghe up and down, and said, "Is he Sha Qinghe?"

Shen Yizhou nodded and said: "Brother Qinghe was framed."

Ye Zang approached, glanced at Sha Qinghe's forearm, and asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Shen Yizhou trusted Sha Qinghe very much, pulled him back to his seat and sat down, and then relayed to Ye Zang what Sha Qinghe said just now.Ye Zang said: "Just now I saw Hero Xu outside."

Sha Qinghe was startled: "Is it outside the inn?"

Ye Zang shook his head: "I think he looks around looking for someone outside the town, he should be looking for you."

Sha Qinghe nodded: "Master Xu sent someone to look for him, but unfortunately, he didn't make it to the last time."

"This is strange." Ye Zang pondered, "Is your master familiar with Xu Lian?"

Sha Qinghe said: "I have never heard the master mention that he is familiar with Xu Lian. In my opinion, they are all well-known heroes in the world, at most they are nodding acquaintances."

"But now it seems that my master and Mr. Xu may really be acquaintances."

"Then why do you think your master asked Xu Lian before his death? Did you have to say something to him face to face?"

The expression on Sha Qinghe's face did not seem to be fake: "I can't figure it out, maybe only Xu Daxia knows."

"Hmm..." Shen Yizhou kneaded his chin unconsciously, "Maybe we can ask, maybe Jiao Daxia will believe you."

Ye Zang also agreed: "Xu Lian has always hated evil and is upright. If he can trust you, this matter may have a turn for the better."

"Where is your little brother now?"

Sha Qinghe shook his head: "They said that I killed several disciples of the sect, I think the younger brother must be among them."

Shen Yizhou and Ye Zang looked at each other speechlessly, they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

After talking so much, Sha Qinghe acted a little more relaxed: "But I don't really care about these false names in the arena. I just want to save my life first, and then find a chance to kill Yang Xin and report it for my master. Enmity is done."

Shen Yizhou glanced at him, and suddenly reached out to pat his shoulder: "Brother Qinghe, it's you!"

Ye Zang said helplessly: "Shouldn't you say that brother Sha doesn't need to be so pessimistic, should we help you clear your name?"

Shen Yizhou said: "Brother Qinghe is not someone who cares about these false names." After speaking, he glanced at Sha Qinghe.

The corner of Sha Qinghe's mouth twitched: "Having said that, I'd better try to get rid of the charges first, otherwise it will not be very convenient for me to travel in the mountains and rivers and change my appearance in the future."

Shen Yizhou understood: "Brother Qinghe, don't worry."

The three of them thought together for a long time, planning to let Sha Qinghe live first, and after dawn, Shen Yizhou and Ye Zang went out to inquire about the situation.

Think long-term.

After tossing and tossing for so long, it was almost dawn, Shen Yizhou let Sha Qinghe sleep on his own bed, and he and Ye Zang squeezed into the same bed, sleeping until the sun was high.

On the second day, Shen Yizhou was woken up by Sha Qinghe. When he woke up, Ye Zang's side of the bed was already cold, and Sha Qinghe squatted beside him and called Shen Yizhou's name.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yizhou asked, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

Sha Qinghe hesitated to speak, and then said: "You slept until the sun was high, Brother Ye seems to have been out for a long time."

"Oh, is that so?" Shen Yizhou sat up and looked, the sunlight outside the window was dazzling.

"Ye Zang should have gone out to inquire about the situation."

Shen Yizhou got up slowly, poured himself a cup of cold tea, went to the window to look at the sky, and said: "Should be back soon."

Not a moment after he finished speaking, Ye Zang appeared outside the door with several boxes of pastries in his hand.

"How is it?" Shen Yizhou and Sha Qinghe asked in unison.

Ye Zang shook his head: "I didn't see anyone, but I went out and asked around, and many people just found out that Xu Daxia is actually Gu Yizhuang's younger brother."

Sha Qinghe and Shen Yizhou looked at each other, both felt a little unbelievable, Gu Yizhuang was an old man in his seventies, and Xu Lian seemed to be in his 30s at least, so there was nothing unreasonable about such a relationship.However, Sha Qinghe has been under Gu Yizhuang's family for more than [-] years, and has never met any of his relatives. It would be fine if his relatives were all unknown people, but now a famous younger brother has appeared, which is really incomprehensible .

Ye Zang stacked the cakes neatly on the table, and carefully opened the outer paper layer by layer, pushed them in front of Shen Yizhou and Sha Qinghe, and continued: "Gu Yizhuang's mother died young, and his father passed away at an early age. The idea of ​​​​continuing Xian, married a young girl, and gave birth to a daughter. Before the daughter was full moon, Gu Yizhuang's father passed away again. Gu Yizhuang's stepmother took her daughter and remarried to the Jiao family in Lingbei. She has never had a child, but she became pregnant with Xu Lian when she was in her forties. Before Gu Yizhuang's stepmother remarried, she entrusted Gu Yizhuang to the Hengdao Sect, and since then Gu Yizhuang has lost contact with her stepmother."

"Very few people in the Jianghu know about this matter. Xu Lian only learned about this past event before his mother died. Since then, Xu Lian and Gu Yizhuang have been exchanging letters. This time Xu Lian joined the Hengdao School, It was also Gu Yizhuang who knew that time was running out, and invited him to a meeting in the letter. It is a pity that the uncle and nephew did not meet in the end."

Sha Qinghe sighed: "Master never mentioned his correspondence with Daxia Xu, those letters must be fake."

Shen Yizhou said: "It's a pity that I didn't meet Hero Xu."

Sha Qinghe was also a little depressed: "Even if you see him, you may not believe me."

They were worried that they didn't meet Xu Lian at this time, but they didn't expect Xu Lian to come to the door by himself two hours later.

When Xu Lian broke in, Shen Yizhou was discussing with Sha Qinghe to try his luck at night.Seeing the personnel Xu Lian intruding, Shen Yizhou quickly stood up and blocked Sha Qinghe behind him.

Ye Zang also made a defensive posture, and the three of them stared at Xu Lian's movements together.
