After Waking up Beside the Villain

His heart was solemn, but the timing was not right, Chu Yunsheng closed his eyes and did not ask his guess.

After Xie Chengyun made it clear that the chariots and horses had finished talking about their own concealment, he also temporarily put aside the topic, and instead told Chu Yunsheng what he had seen and heard in the Ning family.

One person's head is not as good as two people's aura. Since he suspects that Ning Shou's condition may be related to the puppet secret technique, and Ji Ling, who is in the Zheng family, deliberately mentioned this technique to Chu Yunsheng, who suddenly entered the game, the two There is likely to be some connection between them, and if they are discussed together, some doubts may suddenly become clear.

After discussing with the Zheng and Ning families, the meal was almost finished, and they planned to hit the iron while the iron was hot, and go directly to meet the personal servant who was sent out of the Ning family.

After waiting for half a cup of tea in the private room, Xie Zixuan finally arrived.

Apart from Xie Zixuan and Chu Yunsheng, no one in Jinling City knew about Xie Chengyun's secret visit to the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, he could not come forward for many things, and hiding in the dark was better than going to the bright side and being caught It is much better to treat people as pawns that can be manipulated at will.

"We found that Ningping's residence."

Xie Zixuan said: "In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, a few hidden stakes were used."

As he said that, there was a hint of ridicule on his elegant and thin face, and he smiled and looked at Chu Yunsheng beside him: "Chengyun, is this girl the friend you mentioned?"

Uncle Xie is a steady person after all, whether in person or not, he would never say frivolous words like Xie Chengyun's beauty or not.

Although he had seen Chu Yunsheng before when he was in Beijing, but now Chu Yunsheng's appearance is completely different from when he was a sword servant, and he has not released the protective energy, revealing the true energy, so he has not recognized it, and still I really think that my nephew has opened up and knows how to interact with female heroes.

Chu Yunsheng naturally saw the playful meaning in Xie Zixuan's expression, without asking any further questions, he knew that Xie Chengyun must have passed by somewhere he didn't know.

Receiving Chu Yunsheng's gaze, Xie Chengyun was not at all guilty and shy, and nodded seriously: "It can be regarded as a good friend."

Xie Zixuan looked surprised.

Xie Chengyun didn't intend to explain further, but raised his eyebrows and smiled and said: "This is Chuchu, Second Uncle can call Xiao Chu, Miss Chu, but don't call him by his first name, it seems a bit old and disrespectful. Chu Chu , this is my family uncle, Xie Zixuan, a middle-aged alchemist."

"You boy!"

Xie Zixuan shook his head and laughed when he heard the words, and pointed at Xie Chengyun, but he didn't reprimand him. He preferred to see Xie Chengyun's wanton jokes compared to the son-in-law swordsman in a suit. Young people should Has the frivolous vigor of a young man.

Turning around and sitting down, Xie Zixuan looked at Chu Yunsheng again, and said seriously: "I heard from Chengyun that Miss Chu went to Zheng's house to investigate the sacrifice of the river god. Did you find anything?"

"The Zheng family is mourning, the Ning family is celebrating, and the Baili Shui Gang is chasing the murderer—this Jinling City is getting more and more lively. There may not be no connection between these surging undercurrents."

"Thank you, senior, for what you said is very true."

Chu Yunsheng bowed his hands in salute, and did not allow Xie Zixuan to bear the impact of facing the big man in women's clothing, but still briefly recounted what the Zheng family saw in a cold and soft female voice.

Xie Chengyun added a few words from the side, which made Xie Zixuan's complexion gloomy, and the palms that were stroking his beard were faintly stretched out.

But he didn't say much about it, he just stared blankly at the picture of a fairy slaying a dragon hanging on the wall of the private room for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "The rest of the matter will be discussed later, without further delay. Let's go see Ning Ping'an. Because Chengyun said that he is likely to be protected by a master, so the hidden stakes that were investigated in the past are not close, and there should be no surprises, but you need to be careful when you go, you two follow me Beside you, don't leave within a hundred feet."

Chu Yunsheng and Xie Chengyun agreed in unison, the secret door opened, and the three of them were about to leave the Jixiang Restaurant.

But just as he entered the secret door, Xie Zixuan's eyes suddenly focused, and he turned to look at Chu Yunsheng: "Don't move!"

As soon as Chu Yunsheng stopped, Xie Chengyun also frowned and turned around.

Almost instantly, Xie Zixuan's robe sleeves were lifted up, a green light suddenly appeared, and a strong true energy came out, and he slapped Chu Yunsheng's shoulder with a palm.

Chu Yunsheng looked sideways, but did not avoid it. He felt a sudden coolness flash across his shoulders, and a wisp of light red smoke rose from the clothes room, shattering under Xie Zixuan's palm.

At the same time, a tiny flying insect like a ladybug landed on the ground, and the moment it touched the ground, it turned into dust.

"The art of tracking?"

Xie Chengyun held Chu Yunsheng's arm, looked carefully at his shoulder blades, and slightly frowned.

"It's a relatively common method, but the caster's technique is so clever and his strength is not low, even I haven't seen it at a glance." Xie Zixuan said, "But this person should just do it casually, and didn't pay too much attention to Miss Xiao Chu's trace."

"If it's not Ji Ling, it's Zheng Yuchen."

Chu Yunsheng flipped through his experiences of the day in his mind, and judged.

Xie Zixuan said: "Once this technique is removed, it won't be long before the caster will notice it, and I'm afraid it will be suspected. But it's actually not too much of a hindrance. Although this kind of tracking technique is brilliant, if it can be discovered, Hanshen can also crack it." ...Let's leave the restaurant as soon as possible, erase the traces of the past, and make some cover-ups, so we don't have to worry too much."

Xie Chengyun looked at Chu Yunsheng, and raised the corners of his lips thoughtfully: "Second Uncle, there is no need to erase it, maybe this is not a bad thing."

As soon as Chu Yunsheng saw Xie Chengyun's deceptive expression, he knew that he was going to play tricks again and started fishing.

at the same time.

A few streets away, Zhengjiadong Guest House.

Ji Ling, who was meditating on the couch and adjusting her breath, suddenly opened her eyes, turned her head and looked out of the window, and whispered with great interest: "The lead machine bug has been broken, and the little girl named Ye is really not simple, whether it is a friend or an enemy , it seems that you can make good use of it..."

Thinking of this, Ji Ling turned his hand and took out a porcelain bottle from his waist, poured a pill and swallowed it, and closed his eyes again to exercise.

Auspicious Restaurant is an intelligence base of the Xie family in Jinling City, and the exit of the secret door is in a deserted house in the alley next door.

The three of Chu Yunsheng came out of the deserted house, avoiding the crowded places, walked through half of Jinling City, and came to the vicinity of the horse market in the north of the city.

It is sweltering in midsummer, and the smell is fermented. The surrounding area of ​​the horse market is filled with stinky heat, which is really not very pleasant.

But Chu Yunsheng and Xie Chengyun are not the young masters who can't bear hardships and see dirty. Xie Zixuan is an old man, so he naturally doesn't care about these things. inconspicuous.

At the edge of the horse market, Xie Zixuan turned into an alley, and immediately flew up a tree, stepped on the eaves and walls, and stopped in front of a small courtyard.

Chu Yunsheng and Xie Chengyun's body skills were not as good as Dingdan's, so they were a step behind before they caught up, and they dodged to follow the luxuriant sycamore tree by the courtyard wall.

"It's here."

Xie Zixuan said in a voice transmission: "The person under the eaves is Ning Shou's personal servant, Ning Ping'an."

Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng followed the direction Xie Zixuan was looking at, and in the small and dilapidated courtyard, he saw a tall, thin boy in gray clothes with a pale complexion who looked sickly.

The young man was sitting alone at the Eight Immortals table under the eaves, holding the dishes in his hands, his delicate face was full of uneasiness and worry.

"He is the only person living here, and there is no other aura. However, it is not ruled out that the assassin is hidden, so we still have to be careful." Xie Zixuan said.

"Second Uncle Lao will take care of you."

Xie Chengyun said.

After finishing speaking, he and Chu Yunsheng looked at each other, then flew down at the same time, like a ghost, and came to Ning Ping'an's back in the blink of an eye.

Chu Yunsheng raised his hand and patted Ning Ping'an's shoulder. At the same time, his true energy dissipated, a mysterious aura circulated, and his eyes suddenly became deep and dark, like a bottomless cave.

However, at this moment, a gust of cold and piercing wind rushed straight at Chu Yunsheng's face, making half of his body numb, and he lost consciousness for an instant.

Chu Yunsheng felt bad, and bit the tip of his tongue hard. The short tingling pain made his shoulders tremble, and he managed to recover a little bit of perception.

"It's Dingdan!"

Chu Yun shouted in a low voice.

As soon as he fought, he confirmed the strength of the attacker, such an irresistible and strong true energy, it is absolutely impossible to be Hanshen.

The still numb palm slapped on the waist, Yue Que unsheathed, Chu Yunsheng stepped back quickly, catching the invisible dangerous breath, flipped his wrist as if predicted, and swung the knife out brazenly.

"Om-!"

The clear whistle was piercing, and a burst of completely irresistible force shook the blade, shattered the protective energy, and slammed into Chu Yunsheng's chest.

A fishy sweetness gushed out of his throat, and Chu Yunsheng spat out a mouthful of blood on the blade light.

In addition to the light of the knife, there is also a light of the sword.

Fu Xuejian slashed horizontally, Xie Chengyun's long hair flew up, and stopped in front of Chu Yunsheng.

Suddenly, a jade-white palm protruded with strands of black air wrapped around it, grasping the edge of the Fuxue Sword, letting the sword's energy flow freely, tearing flesh and blood, revealing bones, without avoiding it.But behind Xie Chengyun's head, there was another dark palm that looked like a shadow, and it slapped Xie Chengyun's Tianling fiercely.

When the true energy collided, Xie Chengyun suddenly lowered his head, his tiger's mouth burst into blood, and he staggered back.

"You dare!"

This fight was ups and downs, only in the blink of an eye, when Xie Zixuan, who was hiding on the sycamore tree and guarding the surroundings, noticed the enemy's aura emerging, and when he quickly made a move, Chu Yunsheng and Xie Chengyun had blocked two moves in a row, and all of them wounded.

Xie Chengyun had long guessed that there might be masters guarding Ning Ping'an's side, but with Ning Tiancheng's half-step Ding Dan strength, the masters who could be mobilized would only be Hanshen or half-step Ding Dan, but unexpectedly, this shot, It was at least in the mid-stage of Dingdan like Xie Zixuan.

If Xie Chengyun and Chu Yunsheng hadn't been the best of Han Shenwu, with extraordinary strength, they would have capsized in the gutter if they were suddenly attacked by Dingdan.

Xie Zixuan's body was like lightning, and he punched down.

There was a sound of wind and thunder, and sonic booms. Although this punch was deliberately controlled so as not to cause visions to appear, it was still like a meteor falling, with unstoppable power.

Sparks burst out from the wind of the fist, and the surrounding air suddenly surged, forming a vortex, the Eight Immortals table flew and shattered, and the old lattice windows exploded.

"There is Ding Dan following?"

A figure wearing a white bone mask appeared from the shadows under the eaves. He released his right palm and repelled the Fuxue sword. His left palm turned over Xie Chengyun's head, condensing layers of thin clouds, soft like cotton, and facing Xie Zixuan Smashing fist.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Yunsheng caught Xie Chengyun who had been shaken back with one hand, and with the other hand turned his true energy into water and wood, and captured Ning Pingan, who had fainted at the beginning of his attack, and quickly retreated to hide behind Xie Zixuan .

"Boom!"

A loud noise erupted like thunder.

Fire and lightning rushed into the cloud, and the cloud seemed to be ignited, turning bright red.

The man in the mask raised his bloody right palm, and the black air enveloped the entire palm, and then spread rapidly, like a group of snakes rushing out screaming, flying up one by one, climbing up the burning cloud.

With five fingers contracted, the group of snakes became like ropes, instantly entangled Xie Zixuan's fist light.

Xie Zixuan was neither surprised nor angry, he walked around erratically, following the suction and confinement from his fist, he raised his other hand and flicked his fingers.

The palm entangled in black air trembled, and a blood hole suddenly appeared.

The masked man groaned in pain, curled up his palms, and at the same time was shocked.

"Xie's sword finger!"

He recognized Xie Zixuan's move, and he yelled in his heart that it was not good.

Although the visitor is in the mid-stage of Dingdan, his special assassination skills are definitely not comparable to the Xie family's peerless magical skills. He suffered a big loss as soon as he fought, and he wasted a palm. However, if you insist on fighting, I'm afraid my life will have to be explained here.

After retreating for a lifetime, the masked man didn't want to fight any more, and immediately clapped five palms in succession, the clouds rose violently, blocked Xie Zixuan's fist again, then turned around and jumped onto the eaves, wanting to escape.

Xie Zixuan hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xie Chengyun, saw Xie Chengyun nod his head, then rose from the ground and chased after him.

"How bad is it?"

The two Dingdans left one after another, and the dilapidated small courtyard was in a mess with broken windows and doors.

Xie Chengyun wiped away the blood on his lips, took out the healing medicine, looked at Chu Yunsheng, hugged his shoulders, and asked in a low voice.

"Minor injury, a broken rib."

Chu Yunsheng accurately diagnosed his injury, and raised his hand to take the pills from Xie Chengyun: "I'll ask Ning Ping'an, and you will heal immediately."

Xie Chengyun smiled: "I'm fine, I just suffered a little internal injury, I just need to go back to heal my wounds. The second uncle will only chase a hundred feet away, if he can't catch up, he will return, don't worry. Ningpingan can have a peace of mind Dan's protection is beyond my expectations, and the secrets in him will never be worth a second Ding Dan."

"If you really have this kind of heart and this level of strength, it's better to guard Ningshou."

Although Chu Yunsheng also made the same judgment, he was still vigilant: "This person was definitely not sent by the Ning family. There may be someone else involved in the attack on Ningshou, so we must guard against it."

While guarding his surroundings, he swallowed the pill, dispelled the medicine's effect a little, and then tapped the acupuncture points, which woke Ning Pingan up.

Ning Pingan opened his eyes in a daze, and before he could recall why he fainted while eating, he saw a pair of dark and deep eyes.

In an instant, as if in a dream, he fell down by the wall in a daze, and his mind gradually relaxed.

Then, he heard a voice saying: "Ning Ping'an, tell me about the attack on Ning Shou in detail."

Ning Ping'an opened his eyes in a daze, completely forgetting that someone threatened and lured him to keep silent. He couldn't muster up the strength to refuse, his lips moved, and subconsciously replied: "Lady... I saw a woman in red, she told I, the young master is over there..."
