a hundred times

As soon as these words came out, everyone's face changed drastically.

The Martial Arts League naturally conducted an investigation on what happened in the Zhou Mansion four years ago, but no matter what, they couldn't find out who that ghostly young man in white was.

His movements were so fast that almost no one could see his appearance clearly.

If the person is really who he was four years ago, then everything gets complicated again.What is the relationship between him and Zhou Mansion?He asked the maid to participate in the martial arts conference, is it for Zanpakuto?

Some people think more, if it is really for the Zanpakuto, is there a possibility that this young man in white already has the exquisite Zanpakuto manual?

You must know that Zhou Renfeng held the world-famous Zanpakuto back then, and he could even fight Xiao Wangsheng, the number one swordsman in the world, to a tie!

And this young man could save Young Master Zhou without any effort, and take the lives of 37 people in an instant, his martial arts may have reached an extremely terrifying level.

Everyone knew in their hearts that everything about the Zhou Mansion was obviously ordered to be wiped out by the court. In the hearts of real Jianghu people, Zhou Renfeng had never betrayed the Dacheng Dynasty.For everything that happened four years ago, they feel guilty. If this young man in white is also a person of the right path, then in terms of position, they have already lost first.

Looking back, the two sects that suffered today, the Flying Tiger Gang and the Fusong Sword Sect, were both participants in the incident four years ago.But the leaders of other sects present, including Shaolin Wudang, felt guilty or guilty in their hearts.

Someone's back was covered with cold sweat, and he said in a low voice, "What should we do? This worm sect...do you want them to continue participating in the martial arts conference?"

"Why don't you ask League Leader Lu?"

"I heard that Lu Mengzhu has been ill for a long time..."

"But what happened back then, in the final analysis, was decided by League Leader Lu... Sigh, he is still that person's sworn brother."

That person, of course, refers to Zhou Renfeng.

Master Wudang Hongqing also had a deep friendship with Zhou Renfeng back then, when the news of Zhou Renfeng's death came out, he was not yet the head of Wudang.At that time, he was very sad and disheartened for a while, so he went to retreat in the cave, and when he got out of the cave a year later and learned everything, he began to have trouble with Lu Changting on various occasions, intentionally or unintentionally.

He immediately said in a deep voice: "The martial arts conference has the rules of the martial arts conference. That Dongshuang did not kill anyone and cheated. Since he is not some evil heretic, why can't he continue to participate? The other party has already given an explanation for the matter of the Flying Tiger Gang today." , he himself provoked the master here first, and his skills are not as good as others, so let's just expose it."

For a while, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one could say anything against it.

After all, the winner of tomorrow's martial arts competition will come out of the competition, and Lu Changting will inevitably attend at that time, let's talk about it.As for the young man in white, since he couldn't afford to offend him, he simply kept his distance.

■

At night, the bright moon hangs high.

After hearing the news reported by his subordinates, Lu Changting looked worried.A middle-aged man who looked gentle and elegant sat aside, thought for a moment, and said: "That man is indeed unfathomable."

"Chen Qing, you saw that young man in white at the time, and you really couldn't guess it at all?"

"I only saw a figure from the back." Chen Qing pondered for a while, "I'll go and have a look tomorrow, and I'm [-]% sure that I can recognize it... But if they really came here for what happened back then, I think it's better to act first. "

Lu Changting said: "They are very strong in martial arts, our people probably won't be able to take them... Besides, that person's boldness to spend a lot of money, I'm afraid he didn't come from a reckless background. If he really can't, I'll ask my adoptive father."

Chen Qing frowned: "Alright." He looked at Lu Changting again, and asked softly, "Brother, are you feeling better now?"

Lu Changting's face was haggard, as if he was more than ten years older than half a month ago.

The Shengjisan that Ye Zhuchen applied to his body almost caused his skin to fester from his waist to his knees. A few days ago, he could not even walk.

Asking Liu Shanzhuang's young master, he couldn't even retreat, so in desperation, he could only leave with his daughter.After going down the mountain, the first thing he did was to investigate Huayu from Flying Star Gate. Even the martial arts conference was postponed by him, but the news he got frightened him. Playing inside, there are his friends to testify.

There is no doubt that the person who went up the mountain with him at that time was not Huayu, so if it wasn't Huayu, who was it?What is the purpose of this person?

What happened in Liushanzhuang was too weird, the fifth prince who appeared out of nowhere, the inexplicably cold prince and concubine, and the mysterious genius proclaiming his love... The pain of Shengjisan made Lu Changting dare not go again Muddy Waters, made up his mind to make good use of this martial arts conference.

However, now another unfathomable young man in white clothes ran out!

Lu Changting rubbed the center of his brows, and said tiredly: "Forget it, the hour is over, you should go back and rest too. Let's stand still for the time being, as long as we don't offend that person."

Chen Qing resigned as she said, but her heart was still full of uneasiness.

Before returning to his room, there was a graceful figure waiting in the corridor, it was Lu Fenghe.

Chen Qing forced a smile and said, "Feng He, it's so late, why don't you go to bed?"

Lu Fenghe said softly, "I'm worried about father."

"Your father is not in good health these days, and now he thinks he has rested."

Lu Fenghe raised his eyes to look at Chen Qing, with tears in his eyes, and his voice was crying: "He...if it wasn't for my marriage...it's all my fault..."

Chen Qing froze for a moment, Lu Feng and a pair of jet-black pupils were shining brightly, as if there were tiny stars falling in them, it was indescribably charming, and there was a beautiful scenery that had never been seen before.

It is really breathtaking, just one glance, people will be intoxicated by it.

However, how could Lu Fenghe have such eyes!

As soon as this idea came up, Chen Qing only felt a pain in his chest. The moment he was stunned, without any precautions, "Lu Fenghe" in front of him had already made a move.

"you--"

Chen Qing only had time to utter a single word, and the dagger was pulled out by the person in front of him. The technique was extremely fast, and it seized Chen Qing's veins.

"Lu Fenghe" smiled coldly: "Uncle Chen, long time no see."

Chen Qing only felt cold all over, and almost immediately knew who the person in front of her was: "Zhou Chuze—it's you!"

Zhou Chuze's slash just now was not fatal, but it would make people bleed profusely and become weak.He clasped the opponent's veins with one hand, and with a sharp dagger in the other, he mercilessly stabbed the second knife: "You are satisfied with the meeting gift that my nephew gave you."

The second knife stabbed, and then mercilessly detained the person into the room - this is not his territory after all.Once inside the house, Zhou Chuze took out the fairy rope and tied Chen Qing's wrists, and tapped a row of acupuncture points so that only the eyeballs of Chen Qing's body could move.

Chen Qing said weakly, "Chu Ze, you really surprised me."

Zhou Chuze tore off a layer of human skin mask, revealing a handsome face, and sneered: "You never thought that weak child could kill you one day, did you?"

"Yes." Chen Qing said, "It seems that the man is really powerful, he can even support a fool."

Zhou Chuze said: "You will die under this Ah Dou's hands."

"But you didn't kill me now, can I understand that I still have some value?" Chen Qing can still smile at this time, "What do you want to know?"

Zhou Chuze said coldly: "Why did father feel sorry for you, let you betray him, and choose a despicable villain?"

Chen Qing laughed, and resentment appeared in her eyes: "Where is he sorry? He is sorry for me everywhere! He is so kind to everyone, saying that I am his brother, but he treats me differently from others ?Your father is a gentleman, but he is a hypocritical gentleman! All his life, he was special to only one person...that person is his brother! What about me? What am I, Chen Qing? A dog saved!"

Zhou Chuze said: "You are not worthy to be his brother."

Chen Qing gasped and said, "Could it be that Xiao Wangsheng is worthy? That evil devil and heretics are worthy? For that brother, he almost forgot the distinction between good and evil!"

Zhou Chuze said expressionlessly, "He deserves it."

Chen Qing was stunned: "What do you know..."

Zhou Chuze said: "I know, I know that Xiao Wangsheng didn't go down to the Dragon Peak for nearly 20 years, and he didn't enter the Jianghu. down."

Chen Qing murmured: "Bie Longfeng...it turned out to be him, and that young man turned out to be a person who forgets his life..."

Zhou Chuze said: "You're right, my father treats you as he treats everyone else. In his heart, none of you are worthy of Xiao Wangsheng, who can be as famous as him. There has always been only one Xiao Wangsheng... ...It’s not that you are too weak, it’s just that you are not worthy.”

Chen Qing remained silent, but her body trembled uncontrollably.

Zhou Chuze was too lazy to talk nonsense with him about this kind of thing, so he said directly, "Where is Zanpakuto? Tell me."

"You can't get it."

Zhou Chuze jumped a tendon in Chen Qing's hand with a dagger expressionlessly: "Tell me."

His hands are very steady, without a trace of fear.

These methods were all taught to him by Xiao Wangsheng. In terms of martial arts alone, Zhou Chuze is not strong, but what he learned on Bound Dragon Peak is far more than martial arts.But to kill a person, there are always many ways, and martial arts is just one of them.

Chen Qing's face was distorted in pain: "Why do you—"

Zhou Chuze said, "That's my father's knife."

I must never let you group of people dirty my father's knife again.

After finishing speaking, he pulled another tendon, and blood dripped onto the back of his fair hand. Zhou Chuze didn't even blink his eyes.

Chen Qing was as angry as a thread: "In... Lu Changting... the secret room of the study... I don't know the mechanism... you can't get in..."

Zhou Chuze raised the dagger, and the light of the knife was reflected in his eyes, almost frighteningly bright.

His voice was cold: "Uncle Chen, thank you."

A knife pierced directly into the heart, and the sound of blood splattering inside could almost be heard.

This was the first time he had killed someone, and it didn't feel good to kill someone.But as long as he recalled the scenes that happened in the mourning hall four years ago, and remembered that this person was handsome and handsome, he said that he wanted someone to open the coffin to see his father's back, and he would be able to fall with this knife.

There is never a shortage of hatred in the arena.

Therefore, there will never be a shortage of blood in the rivers and lakes.

When the person was completely dead, Zhou Chuze stayed where he was, wiped all the blood from his hand onto Chen Qing's clothes, picked up the dagger and left.

■

Dongshuang gets up very early, and she never has the habit of staying in bed, because the bed is always a dangerous place.

When she went out, she still had two knives around her waist, plain clothes and a cold face.

It wasn't a surprise to see Zhou Chuze outside the Cuilan Building. Dongshuang frowned slightly, and walked over, even saying with some emotion: "My lord, the spring is cold, pay attention to your body."

Zhou Chuze smiled slightly: "I know."

In the past four years, Ye Zhuchen hadn't been to Bielongfeng once, but every New Year, he would send people to Bielongfeng to deliver things, food and everything.

The person who came was Dongshuang.

The only person Zhou Chuze could see on Bielong Peak all year round was Xiao Wangsheng, and after doing this, he became friends with Dongshuang.The two are equally deserted, and only the same deserted person can have a tacit understanding in silence.

"Aren't you going to see the master?"

"No." Zhou Chuze shook his head and asked, "What is the task he gave you for participating in the martial arts conference this time?"

Dongshuang said: "No matter what the master does, the desired result is the same."

win.

Only win.

"You don't hate him?" Zhou Chuze asked, "He just uses you as a tool."

Dongshuang shook her head resolutely, "Master saved my life."

He used to feed her with his own blood as water without hesitation; he also took off the only clothing on his body that could keep out the cold and gave her the only warmth in the ice and snow.

They were never a true master and servant pair.

Zhou Chuze was silent for a while, and only said: "Tell him, I want Zanpakuto."

Dongshuang said: "Okay."

Zhou Chuze thought for a while, and then said: "The martial arts people are complicated...you, you should be more careful."

Dongshuang smiled in his heart. The young master in front of him only knew that the world was complicated, but how could he save others with a complicated heart?She nodded and said, "Dongshuang knows."

Ye Zhuchen also got up very early. Of course, this is only because he needs very little sleep time. Even if he only rests for two hours on weekdays, he is already full of energy.

He stood upstairs, watched in silence for a while, and then went to wash up to prepare the breakfast that Xia He had prepared for him.

Halfway through eating, Dongshuang came back.

"Master, this subordinate has met Mr. Zhou."

"Ah."

Xia He and Qiu Ye who were standing on one side looked at each other, but they didn't understand who the young master Zhou they were talking about was.Dongshuang is the one with the highest martial arts among the maids around Ye Zhuchen. Like Chunfeng, she works outside for Ye Zhuchen all the year round and knows much more than the two of them.

"Master Zhou said that he wants to chop the pakuto."

Ye Zhuchen groaned, and said, "If he wants it, guess if I will give it to him?"

Dongshuang is also the least interesting among the maids around Ye Zhuchen.

She said with a blank face: "This subordinate can't guess."

Ye Zhuchen smiled, with such an expression on his face: "Anyway, no matter whether I win or not, Zanpakuto will become my thing—because I want it."

This knife is not a casual knife, but a knife that was once as famous as Xiao Wangsheng's ruthless sword.

Ye Zhuchen knocked on the table and said, "Sit down and eat."

Xia He and Qiu Ye also had to admit that Dong Shuang was Ye Zhuchen's most protective maid, especially in the past few years, sometimes they almost treated her as a younger sister.

Sure enough, Dongshuang sat down and began to eat methodically.

She understands that she will always be just a maid or a knife, and in many cases, she has no right to choose what to do.Fortunately, Ye Zhuchen was not only the one who gave her life, but also the one worthy of her life.

■

The drums of war sounded again.

It is still the top floor of Cuilan Tower.

Lu Changting sat at the same table with the two masters of Shaolin Wudang, with unstoppable fatigue on his face.Chen Qing died, he didn't expect that at this moment, his most powerful right-hand man would be gone like this.

Who is the murderer?

Chen Qing has been extremely low-key over the years, and has almost become a staff officer, so she should not offend anyone in the arena.

Could it be the young man in white?

Lu Changting denied this answer. According to the wounds on the corpse, although the murderer's method of killing was precise, there were too many redundant wounds, not to mention wiping the blood with his clothes, it didn't look like a veteran.

He vaguely had an answer in his heart, but laughed at himself for thinking too much.

Young Master Zhou?

The one who couldn't even remember the name, who was spoiled and grew up, frail and sickly enough to look like a woman?How can it be?However, he was afraid in his heart, no matter how weak he was, he was still a decent son of the Zhou family.

Master Hong Qing sneered and said, "Leader Lu came here in a state of illness, really to worry about the daughter's marriage... But how did I hear that, as early as 18 years ago, Miss Lu had already made a baby marriage with the Zhou family?"

Who remembers that doll pro?

Lu Changting said: "Words don't count, it's hard for a real person to remember."

Master Hongqing said: "It's not difficult, it's just that I'm used to keeping my word."

Lu Changting pretended he didn't hear it, and directly brought the topic to what everyone wanted to hear: "I haven't seen the young man we talked about yesterday."

Indeed, seeing that another round of competition was coming to an end, there was still no one on the table by the window.

However, even if there is no one, everyone present today has consciously distanced themselves from this table.

At this moment, it was said that Cao Cao Cao Cao would be here, and a voice said like pearls: "I didn't expect me to be here, but to make my lord worry about me. I'm ashamed."

The person who came changed his clothes, it was still white brocade clothes, only with silver thread on the cuffs and front of the clothes, jade crown tied his hair, gentle and elegant, handsome and compelling.

Daoist Hongqing had a good look at Ye Zhuchen, and said, "I haven't asked you how to address the young master yesterday."

Ye Zhuchen nodded slightly, and even reported his real name: "Ye Zhuchen, mother's eyes are high above the top, she thinks that father is as humble as dust, and she gave birth to me who is so unworthy, so she named him Zhuchen."

Such cooperation was a big surprise to everyone present.

Even Xia He and Qiu Ye heard the origin of Ye Zhuchen's name for the first time.Among them, except for Dongshuang, who was rescued by Ye Zhuchen when she was a child, the others were all pagan handmaidens since childhood.

In their hearts, the leader is as honorable as a god.

However, in Ye Zhuchen's mother's heart, the old leader is just as low as dust. It's not that the eyes are higher than the top, it's that the eyes have grown to the sky!

Sure enough, Master Hongqing couldn't help but ask, "Where is the high hall of the young master?"

Ye Zhuchen said: "I just came out of the rivers and lakes for the first time, so I dare not embarrass my mother."

What a first-timer!

The head of the Tianshan faction said: "My lord, a maid under my command has already defeated the best disciple of my younger generation. It's a big deal for me to come out of the rivers and lakes like this." Chen Yu of the Tianshan faction managed to defeat the disciples of the Qingcheng faction yesterday. This morning, he was defeated by the double swords of the girl in plain clothes.

Ye Zhuchen said: "The mere family education is very strict. If it weren't for some achievements in martial arts, my mother wouldn't dare to let her go out." This sentence just confirmed the previous saying that the eyes are higher than the top. Eyes are higher than the top, how can there be such a big tone!

Lu Changting said at the right time: "It is a blessing in the world to have young talents like the young master in the martial arts conference... My daughter is not too old now, to be able to meet the young master..."

Ye Zhuchen interrupted him suspiciously: "What's the matter with keeping Qianjin in custody?"

Lu Changting's smile froze: "The winner of this martial arts competition..."

"Huh? Even if I win, it's my Dongshuang who wins." Ye Zhuchen laughed, "I just lack a handy weapon... As for Ling Qianjin, fortunately Dongshuang doesn't seem to hate women."

There is nothing to like, and there is nothing to dislike, probably for that girl, it is the same whether she is a man or a woman.

"How is this possible?"

Ye Zhuchen was surprised: "Why not? Even if it's really not suitable, you can still rest. Does the leader think that my Dongshuang is not good enough for your daughter?"

One is just a maid, and the other is the daughter of the leader of the martial arts alliance, how can she be worthy?Moreover, both of them seem to be women, right?

All the heads present couldn't help but think about it, it seems that marrying Lu Fenghe is not a good reward.Even one of the maids of this young man was dissatisfied and divorced Miss Lu.

Lu Changting finally understood that the person in front of him was clearly humiliating him, and said with a low face, "My lord, don't bully others too much."

Ye Zhuchen sat down lazily, and didn't even bother to give Lu Changting a straight look, "It's just that the lord leader said this, and I just realized that it's because you really don't like your old age and want to bully you. I'm a young man who doesn't know the rules. , I also want to ask the leader what can he do to me?"

Lu Changting trembled with anger.

Master Hongqing was in a good mood after seeing it.

Ye Zhuchen said: "Since you are all my seniors, then this is considered as the host of the juniors, and please don't be polite to the juniors. Come, let's serve tea—"

Once again, he grandly put on the airs of the master, reminding everyone present who really belongs to this place.

At this time, the drums of war stopped again.

Another signal that the next round of war is about to start.
