Silver Moon Halberd

The next day was bright, and the three of them bid farewell to the Zhao brothers after simply eating breakfast, and set off for Taihe City.

Being drunk last night until waking up this morning seems to have only happened in the blink of an eye. It feels very strange...Xi Xiu was afraid, but at the same time, she thought that she would not be blessed to enjoy the pleasure of drinking.

Shen Chuxing rarely used to make fun of it, but turned around and taught Xi Xiu seriously.

As a long weapon, "halberd" excels in attack range and strength. The disadvantage is that the restricted environment makes it difficult to use it in a narrow space. In addition, Xixiu's actual combat experience is slightly inferior, so heroes are often useless. If you can practice a close kung fu, it will undoubtedly be of great help beneficial.

Shen Chuxing explained the acupoints and key parts, and demonstrated the techniques. Although Xi Xiu had suffered a lot, he memorized the key points at the fastest speed, and made rapid progress in a short period of time.After familiarizing himself with the number of moves, Xi Xiu began to fight Ye Zhenge. He was bold and mighty, and Ye Zhenge focused on guidance. defeat.

If the apprentice loses, how can he make the master face? !

Shen Chuxing and Ye Zhenge repeated the move just now, changing their movements on Xi Xiu's missed move, pushing Ye Zhenge to the ground hard with the throat-locking palm of their backhand and pushing the chin.Unexpectedly, Ye Zhenge thought about it seriously, and immediately went all out.From childhood to adulthood, the same scene was almost hundreds of times, no one would want to take advantage of it!

After a while, Shen Chuxing lay on his side, with Ye Zhenge's leg pressed against his waist.Ye Zhenge pressed his knee against Shen Chuxing's wrist.You look at me, I look at you, they are all disheveled and embarrassed.

Xi Xiu was the first to laugh out loud, and then Shen Chuxing and Ye Zhenge also laughed.

Such laughter and laughter all the way, arrived at the destination in a few days.

Taihe City is built on the mountain, covering a vast area, with a majestic city wall lying among the lush greenery.Different from the exquisite and beautiful buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, this northern city is magnificent and majestic, which opened Xixiu's eyes for the first time.

The red-painted gold-nailed copper ring gate in the outer city is more than three feet high and two feet wide, showing everyone's demeanor.Standing at the bottom of the city and looking out, a road runs across the width of the city gate from east to west, but there is another city wall blocking the line of sight in the distance.

According to Ye Zhenge's narration, there are three checkpoints in Taihe City.The outermost area is dominated by trade. There are many restaurants, restaurants, and washers in Goulan. The surrounding people will come to the market on a fixed day every month, so it is the most lively.The one in the middle is based on farming, for the self-sufficiency of Taihe City, and behind the third gate is the Yao family.

A hundred years ago, a family named Yao lived on a green island in the East China Sea. However, as time went by, the island gradually sank.Those ships are still hidden deep in Taihe City.

After the narration was finished, the three of them had settled down in the inn.

Fortunately, a few pieces of glutinous rice cakes were at the bottom, Shen Chuxing went back to the guest room early, Ye Zhenge and Xi Xiu also went back to the room to rest after dinner.

The summer solstice is approaching and the climate is getting hotter.

Xi Xiu is shirtless drinking tea to relieve the heat. He has no fat on his body, wide shoulders and narrow hips, a well-defined lower abdomen, and a particularly graceful waistline.This physique that has practiced martial arts for many years has nothing to do with being strong, but it is full of irresistible strength.Ye Zhenge also seemed to be affected by his rough style, he wanted to untie his obscene clothes for a moment, then looked at the back of the other party carefully, and retracted the hand on the neckline.

Since Xi Xiu didn't understand Young Master Ye's sour thoughts, she asked, "Who is the person who has been following us since we entered the city?"

That person's tracking skills were so clumsy that even Xi Xiu noticed it was weird and couldn't help but turn around frequently.

Sitting opposite, Ye Zhenge poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said: "It should be Yao Xingzhu's subordinate."

Previously, Xi Xiu never had the opportunity to reflect on how he and Shen Chuxing escaped from the chasing of Chanyilou, and it was only recently that he heard the details from him.

It turned out that Yao Xuefeng, the former city lord of Taihe City, had passed away half a year ago, and the secret letter seized by Chanyilou from Ye Zhenge was Yao Xuefeng's will.Yao Xuefeng had two sons before his death, the eldest son Yao Hezhi, and the second son Yao Xingzhu; and Taihe City inherited the father's throne from generation to generation, so the content of the will is naturally related to who will get it.

"Yao Hezhi died of a serious illness. The next city lord is a certainty. Why did Yao Xingzhu send someone to follow us?"

"Why do you conclude that Yao Hezhi died of illness?" Asking Xi Xiu back, Ye Zhenge said in a persuasive manner, "Think carefully about the connection between Chanyilou's seizure of the secret letter and Yao Hezhi's sudden strange disease. Who will benefit the most when Yao Hezhi dies?" ?”

The timing of the two events was indeed too coincidental, and when Yao Hezhi died, the beneficiary would naturally be Yao Xingzhu...

"According to you, Yao Xingzhu is the mastermind behind Chanyilou. He snatched the secret letter but found that the heir is not himself, so he killed him all?" Xi Xiu racked her brains, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she became, "But I still don't understand, Now that Yao Hezhi is dead, why did Yao Xingzhu send people to follow us?"

Seeing his troubled expression, Ye Zhenge stopped being a joke, and said bluntly, "Because that secret letter...is a fake."

"Ah?" Xi Xiu's eyes widened in disbelief, "You risked your life for the secret letter, how could it be fake?!"

"If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. If you take a false thing as real, then it is real," Ye Zhenge wrote lightly. How can you be willing to see it with your own eyes? He sent people to follow him, naturally he wanted to know where this thing was hidden."

Xi Xiu was stunned, and said in a muffled voice, "You guessed that Yao Hezhi would die?"

"The two of them are fighting secretly. How can I predict who will win and who will lose?"

Listening to Ye Zhenge's words, it seems that one of these two will die...

After a moment of silence, Xi Xiu said: "If the real secret letter had been handed over earlier, maybe they wouldn't have fought to the death."

Ye Zhenge couldn't help chuckling when he heard the words: "It doesn't matter whether the secret letter is true or not. People's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant. If they have no distracting thoughts and keep their own place, why do I need to come forward? Senior Yao told him to send the will to Taihe three months after his death. In the city, all I have to do is to complete the task, as for the grievances between the Yao brothers, it is the Yao family's private affairs behind closed doors, how can I allow an outsider to interfere."

Xi Xiu didn't forget that Ye Zhenge was scarred when he first entered the Linhai Valley, and he didn't forget the pursuit of the Fengxu Canal and the cliff. He didn't pity Yao Hezhi, but when he learned that everything was premeditated, he was kept in the dark , It is inevitable that there are mixed flavors.

Putting the three taels of silver on the table, Ye Zhenge continued: "This time just happens to be in time for the Four Days Market in Taihe City, you and Chuxing have a good time shopping."

"What about you?"

"I have my plans."

Ye Zhenge seems easy-going, but after getting along with him for a long time, he will find that he also has a stubborn and tough side.While Xi Xiu was simple, but he was very stubborn in his bones, and he would take the soft but not the hard; the other party's non-negotiable and uncompromising attitude made him annoyed for a while, and he didn't bother to say anything, just took the money away.

For three days in a row, Xi Xiu and Shen Chuxing entered the gambling house at night; they hid day and night, and Ye Zhenge fell asleep at night, until the last day of the market.

"Let's not say I missed the Dangui class, and I didn't have a chance to taste the Longxu crisps in Taoying Town. I'm afraid the young master will blame me for teaching you badly." Walking out of the casino, Shen Chuxing yawned and complained.

Weighing the purse, Xi Xiu gave him a big clasp, dragged him to a shop across the street, stepped out again in an instant, and said briskly, "Where do you want to go? I'll treat you!"

The sleepiness was gone, and Shen Chuxing led Xi Xiu straight to the alley in high spirits.

Turning round and round, walking deeper and deeper, I saw small vermilion doors on both sides close to each other, with lanterns hanging high on the lintel, silk and bamboo music wafting from left and right from time to time, and the sound of charming laughter.When Xi Xiu noticed something strange, her arm had already fallen into the woman's chest. The woman glanced carefully, and immediately three more beautiful girls surrounded her.

Seeing that Xi Xiu's face darkened and he was about to make trouble, Shen Chuxing was quick to get wise, and hurriedly shouted: "Master!"

In a daze, he was rushed into the hall, where the fragrance was floating and the wine was sultry, but how could there be any trace of Ye Zhenge?Passing a glass of wine to her lips, and rubbing her chest with a pair of catkins, Xi Xiu finally realized Shen Chuxing's way!

"Are you unhappy? Let Zijin relieve your boredom."

With a melodious voice like a yellow oriole quietly brushing away her anger, Xi Xiu raised her eyes to look at her—willow brows and phoenix eyes, snow-skinned lips, although the position is different, but there is a red mole on the woman's lips... The light in his eyes brightened, his heart ached Immediately jumped up: "Are you... happy?"

"Young master is so funny," Zi Jin covered her lips and smiled softly, winking like silk, "I don't know if you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course it's true."

"If the young master is happy, Zijin will be happy."

"What about lies?"

"If you tell a lie thousands of times, it's the truth," the woman said in a soft voice, with every expression on her face properly painted with a paintbrush, "Zi Jin only hopes that you can forget your troubles for a while, and a moment of happiness is a moment."

Staring straight at the woman's cherry lips, Xi Xiu asked in bewilderment, "What counts as happiness?"

His cheeks were dyed with clouds, and Zijin led him to walk inward: "Follow me."

"Young master only cares about sister Zijin, Yun'er is going to be sad." The woman bit Sipa lightly, twisted her willow waist and sat on Shen Chuxing's legs.

After watching the two backs disappear from the screen, Shen Chuxing withdrew his gaze, raised his chin slightly, sniffed her pink cheeks, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Xie Fenglou's peony incense."

Yun'er blushed instantly, and said coquettishly, "You bully!"

Gently pinching Yun'er's slender waist, making the woman in her arms tremble wildly, Shen Chuxing talked and laughed happily on the surface, but secretly thought something was wrong in his heart.

Sure enough, before it was time to make tea, the screen was suddenly kicked over, and the commotion stopped abruptly. Everyone saw a handsome man striding forward, followed by a disheveled woman who was about to cry.The woman seemed to want to keep him, but the man remained unmoved, stepped across the threshold in two or three steps, and left without looking back.

Hastily paid the silver taels, worrying about the eyes and ears behind him, Shen Chuxing followed Xixiu back to the inn without a word, pedaled up to the second floor, and was about to call him out, but the other party pushed the door and stepped into the room, "bang" with his backhand closed the door.
