My enemies became my companions

Chapter 400 Do you have another fairy? !

Chen Yi stopped the sword, and the sword energy pierced through Qin Tu's hair. The latter looked trembling with fear.

He put away his sword and said:

"What's the matter with me?"

Qin Tu got up from the ground, looked at the corpses on the ground, swallowed his saliva and said:
"My lord, we have recently been searching for the whereabouts of the Western Jin Dynasty swordsman Gu Yanjian. May I ask if you have heard of him?"

Lone Smoke Sword...

Chen Yi had indeed heard of it.

This man was one of the famous swordsmen of the Western Jin Dynasty. He was known as the Xiaoduan Swordsman in the capital and often traveled between the two countries as a bodyguard.

"What are you looking for him for?"

"We are not the only ones looking for him... The big shots from above are also looking for him." Qin Tu made a gesture to stop talking and continued, "It is said that this man is from the same school as Broken Swordsman and is the disciple of the Sword Emperor of Loulan. Those big shots are probably looking for him to understand his swordsmanship so that they can use it to deal with Broken Swordsman."

Chen Yi listened and remembered the three-year agreement between him and the Broken Swordsman.

Before I knew it, half a year had passed and there were only two and a half years of practice time left.

Although he learned how to use a sword to kill people, it was nothing compared to the sword of the Broken Swordsman.

And those big shots were looking for the Lonely Smoke Sword in order to deal with the Broken Swordsman...

Chen Yi frowned slightly.

The Broken Swordsman was born in the Chen family of the Western Jin Dynasty. In order to deal with the Broken Swordsman... could it be the Magpie Pavilion? !

Chen Yi said: "Go on."

Qin Tu nodded and said, "Right now Shantong County is short of money and food. Even the border defense has exhausted all the money. We really don't have the manpower to search for the Lone Smoke Sword. I just hope that the hero can lend a hand and help us."

Chen Yi said: "You are just a minor official, and you come here to persuade me?"

Qin Tu saw this and said repeatedly: "Jiang, County Magistrate Jiang is here too, not far away, I will introduce him to you."

"Only him?"

"Yes, he is the only one."

Qin Tu led the way, taking Chen Yi out of Wangyue Tower. Lu Ying came to his senses and hurried to follow, fearing that he would be left here by Chen Yi.

After a while, after turning left and right and entering the alley, Chen Yi finally saw County Magistrate Jiang that Qin Tu had mentioned.

The county magistrate was seen in disguise, as if he had just climbed over the wall, with mud on his knees.

"Why climb over the wall?"

"We are in government office now. We should not leave without something to do. Otherwise, we might be reported to the authorities." Jiang Shangli said with a smile.

Chen Yi looked back at Wangyue Tower and said with a smile, "How many knives are hidden in the brothel? County Magistrate Jiang doesn't know?"

"Shantong City has no money in its account, so we have to rely on the sect to maintain public order, and we also have to rely on the sect's help to arrest people."

"Oh." He seemed noncommittal.

Jiang Shangli said slowly: "Young Master, you are a martial arts expert, otherwise you would not be able to leave the Moon Watching Tower. However, the Lifeng Pavilion is not a good match. They still have remnants in the city. I believe that Young Master does not want to live in fear all day long."

"so?"

"To be honest, I sincerely invite you to help me capture this crazy thief, Gu Yanjian. I can even..."

Jiang Shangli's eyes flashed and he said:

"Help the hero get rid of this trouble in Lifeng Pavilion."

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Jiang Shangli continued, "Lifeng Pavilion is originally a killer sect that is biased towards the Western Jin Dynasty. The reason why it was able to take root in Shantong City is because it bribed the previous county magistrate. By the time I took office, it had become too big to be eliminated. I have long wanted to get rid of this trouble, but there is no manpower in the county."

Chen Yi thought for a moment.

The reason why Lifeng Pavilion was chasing him was probably because he was inadvertently noticed when he was in Liufeng County. If there were still remnants of Lifeng Pavilion in Shantong City, there was no guarantee that they would not be targeted again at any time. He should cut them off as soon as possible.

Moreover, he was slightly interested in the Lone Smoke Sword, and with the Magpie Pavilion behind it, his interest became even greater.

"it is good."

Jiang Shangli asked, "What's your name, sir?"

"My last name is..." It was impossible to give his real name, so Chen Yi recalled the story of The Return of the Condor Heroes and said, "Long."

Lu Ying stared at Chen Yi with wide eyes.

And you still say it's not an innuendo?

And you still say you are not Xiaolongnu?
And you said I am not...Yin Zhiping...

Lu Ying gritted her teeth and cursed Chen Yi in her heart for being shameless. As Zhou Yitang's nephew, he actually made up a story about her and his master, and tarnished the reputation of the Quanzhen Sect. And according to the subsequent plot, wouldn't she have to compete with her master for this "Little Dragon Girl"?
What a great imagination!
Chen Yi had no idea what Lu Ying was thinking at the moment. After agreeing with the county magistrate on how to contact him, he took Lu Ying away.

After the two figures walked away, Qin Tu said slowly:
"My Lord, this man has real kung fu skills."

"You still want to fight him?"

“…Actually, I think it’s just a little bit off.”

"What point?"

Qin Tu made a gesture and said, "What 'a little' means is that if he points his finger, I will die in front of him."

"Qin Tu, are you singing with me?"

"No, I dare not fool the county magistrate."

“Where is there no crosstalk?”

"Because I'm serious about it."

"..."

Jiang Shangli was speechless and finally sighed.

Qin Tu thought for a moment and said, "My Lord, do you really want to get rid of Lifeng Pavilion? Those people are all willing to kill..."

"I know too."

"And if we help to eliminate the Lifeng Pavilion, I'm afraid there will be big trouble. Everyone in the martial arts world knows that the Lifeng Pavilion is notorious for its murderous reputation."

Jiang Shangli nodded slightly, looking at him with a long gaze.
"So what do you say? I sell him to Lifeng Pavilion, how about that?"

Qin Tu was stunned on the spot.

..............................

In Qingfeng Pavilion, there were a group of people lined up, with one person sitting alone at the head.

He had sleepy brows, sunken eye sockets, and hands as thin as straw. When he was young, he disguised himself as a beggar and assassinated four people, one of whom called himself the eleventh in the world.

Qingfeng Pavilion is a restaurant and theater. The sound of opera singing could be heard drifting into the house.

"I was ordained under the lotus pedestal, but I have no affinity with the Dharma..."

The man at the top had his eyes downcast, as if he was half asleep and half awake. He held the incense burner in one hand, hanging in the air without shaking, and greedily inhaled the fragrance with his nose.

Not a single scent escapes,

This person's nose is as big as a dragon!

"The facade of Wangyue Tower was destroyed by someone?" he asked as if he had just woken up.

Someone immediately knelt down and responded, "Yes, Master Zhao, according to the remaining brothers, the murderer was Captain Min Ning."

"Good means."

The leader sighed and said:
"You are indeed a hero.

However, this kind of heroes is what I love to kill the most."

After saying this, he greedily took a deep breath of the incense.

The nostrils, as big as those of a dragon, were stretched wide open. Such a strange sight should have earned him a nickname in the martial arts world.

But he didn't.

Because the killer hates leaving his name behind the scene the most.

A killer's duty is to kill people. If he has a reputation, he will be guarded against, hunted down, and even become the target of public criticism.

The best killer in the world is definitely not someone like Jing Ke or Yu Rang, but rather a villain who can hardly leave a name for himself.

Because he is a small fry, he is not on guard; because he is unknown, he is despised.

In Lifeng Pavilion, he only has one code name and a name he knows himself - Crippled Dragon Zhao Yan.

The kneeling man said, "This guy is insidious and cunning, and he is very vigilant. As soon as our Lifeng Pavilion issued a wanted notice, he started killing people from Liufeng County. I'm afraid he wants to eliminate all our Lifeng Pavilion's layout in Dongyu one by one."

"Insidious and cunning, is this what we should say?"

A faint voice was heard, and it was revealed that of a graceful woman, extremely beautiful. When she appeared, a fragrant breeze filled the air, and all the assassins from the Lifeng Pavilion could not help but stare at her in a daze, showing that she had a natural talent for charm.

The adopted daughter of the disabled dragon Zhao Yan, the bewitching butterfly.

Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva and suppress the throbbing in their hearts.

If one is not careful and loses his balance, he will lead her to the bed and kill her.
"Die'er is right. Insidious and cunning? Haha..." Zhao Yan said calmly, "In the martial arts world, the strong prey on the weak."

"The incense master is teaching me this, so what's next?"

Zhao Yan said: "Go and ask... County Magistrate Jiang to come over."

"No need to invite me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in Confucian robes appeared outside the door. Jiang Shangli walked slowly towards them with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Yan straightened up and said with a smile on his face:
"My Lord, County Magistrate, you are my distinguished guest."

"Have you accomplished the task I asked you to do at Lifeng Pavilion?" Jiang Shangli asked.

"We are still investigating. The whereabouts of this Lone Smoke Sword are strange. We don't know where he is hiding. And our Lifeng Pavilion has only a shallow foundation in the city."

"Your foundation is still shallow? You have been here for three years."

Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "If it weren't for the weak foundation, Moon Watching Tower wouldn't have been taken down today."

"You lost a base?"

"Yes, he is a captain from the capital. He carries a sword and a knife on his back, and his surname is Min."

"What if I say... I have a way to bring his head to you?"

Zhao Yan's eyes opened instantly, and a gleam of light burst out.

"I am the county magistrate. If you invite him for state affairs, I have heard that he is loyal to the country, so I think he will come."

"Is the county magistrate's position so important?"

"What if we add Magpie Pavilion?"

Zhao Yan put down the incense burner to show respect, put his hands on his knees and said:

"it is good!"

"What about what I want?"

Zhao Yan slowly said, "We at Lifeng Pavilion will no longer help conceal the whereabouts of the Lone Smoke Sword."

"Okay, then I'll invite him here in the name of a banquet, and you can come to the banquet in the name of admiring heroes and heroes."

Jiang Shangli casually threw the token, Zhao Yan caught it, and then put it in the hand of his adopted daughter.

"Once the people from the Magpie Pavilion see this token, they will know that you are cooperating and will not attack you."

The Soul-Enchanting Butterfly smiled sweetly, holding the nanmu token of the Magpie Pavilion and looking at it, then threw a coquettish glance. Jiang Shangli didn't even look at it, straightened up, and strode away.

The broad back of the county magistrate was exposed to Zhao Yan's eyes. Zhao Yan's fingertips moved slightly, and he habitually deduced three ways to kill him.
It can be seen that after Jiang Shangli put one hand behind his back, he realized that the three ways of killing would be futile.

"What a vigilant skill." Zhao Yan said.

Vigilance is a killer's greatest compliment.

Zhao Yan couldn't count how many corpses with knife wounds on their backs he had stepped on in his life, but every time Jiang Shangli came, he felt that he couldn't kill him with one blow.

This county magistrate is hiding too deeply.

"Be careful."

..............................

..............................

On the way back to the inn.

In the alley, Chen Yi turned around and saw Lu Ying's puffy face, and poked it playfully.

Lu Yingru was struck by lightning and said, "Men and women should not touch each other."

Chen Yi smiled and said, "I am her nephew, and you are her apprentice. We are as close as mother and daughter. We are also relatives. What's wrong with touching each other?"

"Of course it counts," Lu Ying said cautiously, "but don't ethics and moral principles make a pervert like you more excited?"

"You're right, I'm a pervert."

As he said that, Chen Yi became playful and was about to pounce on him with his teeth and claws bared!

"I, I, I'm a pig, you can't do anything."

As he spoke, Lu Ying shook the mask on his face in panic.
"You, do you like sows?"

"I want a skeleton, let alone..." Chen Yi playfully pinched her nose under the mask, "a little sow."

Lu Ying shuddered.

It's all my fault for being angry for a moment. No one cared about me in the first place, but now it's bad enough. Not only do they care about me, they even made up a story to pin it on me.

But now there was only one man and one woman, and no one was in the alley...

Lu Ying was scared for a while, but soon she calmed down and said, "You don't dare."

"Why don't I dare?"

"You are an ordinary person, and ordinary people have things they dare not do."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you look down on ordinary people?"

"I look down on you." Lu Ying snorted.

This look reminded Chen Yi of someone.

Yin Weiying still remembers how extraordinary and beautiful she was when he first met her.

He calls me an ordinary person, and the path to immortality, but in the end, it's still...

Chen Yi laughed and said, “There was once a fairy who looked down on me in the same way.

But later...

Everyone knows the result.”

"Of course I know."

Lu Ying looked at him and said:

"You have become her cauldron, so pitiful!"

Chen Yi: "..."

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only agree with a straight face: "Yes, it's so pitiful."

"poor guy."

"Poor old man."

"There are always things that are hateful about pitiful people." Lu Ying straightened his face and said, "Do you know why you are hateful?"

Chen Yi thought about it and realized that he was indeed a person who was often hated by women, so he asked, "What do you think is hateful about me?"

Lu Ying felt a little compassionate and said seriously, "Come closer. I tell you, you don't want to be hated by others all the time, do you?"

Chen Yi moved closer.

Lu Ying put the pig mask on his face backwards: "Hahaha, because you are a pig!"

Chen Yi was furious and wanted to catch Lu Ying, but Lu Ying had already jumped up and fled out of the alley.

In Shantong City, two people were chasing each other, and the shaking bluestone slabs made a creaking sound under their feet. Dust was flying all the way. They shuttled back and forth in the streets, and almost overturned the roadside stalls.

Behind the laughing girl is a big pig face.

A group of Taoists walked out slowly from a roadside alley, chatting and laughing all the way. They seemed to be discussing a recent discussion on Taoism.

Since there was a Taoist priest present, Lu Ying wanted to be more reserved and slow down her pace, but the Pig-faced Man behind her was about to catch up with her, so how could she dare to slow down!

Lu Ying's feet moved quickly and he ran wildly.

Her face flashed by, and among the Taoists, there was a female Taoist priest with a slightly puzzled look on her face.

When the pig face behind Lu Ying passed by, the nun's long eyes gradually widened.

A boy and a girl were having fun. The cries of "ouch" from passers-by avoiding the storyteller attracted the attention of the spectators in front of the storyteller's stall. The windproof white cloth covering the stall fluttered in the wind. The two of them disappeared into the alley. The fine sand raised by the road surface flashed past their eyes. The girl laughed so hard that her stomach hurt amid the laughter. Tears welled up in her eyes and she fell to the ground. Her arms were rubbed and oozing with blood. Lu Ying was panting quickly and fell to the ground, leaning against the wall.

Chen Yi turned the corner and the pig face appeared again.

Lu Ying laughed even harder and was not afraid at all.

"Are you lonely?" She suddenly heard a question beside her ear.

Lu Ying was stunned and remembered that he had asked Chen Yi if he was lonely.

Chen Yi took off his mask and whispered, "You asked me if I was lonely. Why did you ask that?"

Lu Ying came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and said, "Because I see Master, she is quite lonely."

"Oh?"

"Master...she never really cares about worldly affairs. I don't know how to describe it. It's like she's standing at a very high place, overlooking everything. She's very..." Lu Ying pondered for a long time before saying, "Indifferent."

Zhou Yitang in Lu Ying's eyes is actually not much different from that in Chen Yi's eyes.

She even felt vaguely that she and Zhou Yitang were not as close as Chen Yi and Zhou Yitang.

To Yu Luying, Zhou Yitang stood too high, shrouded in clouds and mist, making people look up to her and difficult to approach. There were heavy clouds between her and the top of the mountain. Standing there, she didn't seem like a person in this world. It seemed that wherever she went, there was a mountain.
She stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the world with deep indifference.

So in Lu Ying's opinion, she was very lonely.

"The more you practice sword skills to perfection, the lonelier you become. Not only swordsmen, but all masters who stand at the pinnacle of martial arts will feel lonely."

If she were on Cangwu Peak of Yinjian Mountain, Lu Ying would never dare to say such words, but here, she dared to speak out.

Chen Yi was surprised when he heard it.

Ordinary people work hard and risk their lives to climb to the pinnacle of martial arts, but Lu Ying, the first disciple of Jianjia, is struggling with whether he is lonely or not. Chen Yi doesn't know what to say. If others know about it, they will say that he is too petty.

However, this is Lu Ying, his senior sister.

"Are you afraid of loneliness?"

“…I’m afraid, so I don’t dare to practice too much sword…” Lu Ying paused and said, “I’m afraid that I will become taciturn and indifferent like my master did after killing three corpses. Now that my master has me, where can I find another Lu Ying?”

Chen Yi stretched lazily. He neither comforted nor gave an answer.

He just stretched lazily and sighed in a rather childish way:
"Life is as lonely as snow."

Lu Ying glanced at him and said, "Are you alluding to Tingxue?"

Chen Yi was stunned. He didn't expect Lu Ying to talk about the little fox, so he followed the topic and asked, "How is she? Is she lonely?"

"How can she be lonely?" Lu Ying snorted and said, "Don't mention that I am here at Cangwu Peak. Even if I am not here, she still has Huang Hua to keep her company."

"yellow flower?"

"She had a yellow dog that seemed to be very old." Lu Ying recalled, "She also brought a puppy up the mountain and gave it to someone else."

Chen Yi thought about the image of the little fox holding the puppy, and a smile appeared on his face.

It's great that she is doing well.

Lu Ying glanced at him warily, as if afraid that he would pull Yin Tingxue back from the mountain.

Chen Yi came back to his senses and guessed what she was thinking: "I won't pull her back. She is doing well, and I am very happy."

Lu Ying snorted and said, "That's good to know."

"It's time to go to the inn."

As Chen Yi spoke, he stood up and extended his hand towards Lu Ying.

When Lu Ying heard him say "It's time to go to the inn", she was a little scared, but after he pulled her up, she let go of her hand.

He didn't hold it with lustful intent, which surprised her a little.

"Aren't you leaving?"

"…Um."

Lu Ying responded and quickly followed.

The alley was quiet.

Lu Ying straightened his slightly messy clothes and looked at Chen Yi's back for a long time. He didn't even look back and just walked straight forward.

What kind of pervert is that? Actually, at this moment, he is quite well behaved...

Lu Ying recalled that, of course he was lustful, but he didn't force himself on her even though she was powerless in the cave.
...I guess he is not the type of person who forces women, but more like the type who pesters men.

A strong woman is afraid of a clinging man...

Lu Ying thought for a while and decided to reject him in advance to make him give up the idea, so he said: "That..."

"what happened?"

Lu Ying hesitated and said, "You are a good person."

"You have good taste."

Lu Ying glanced at him and said, "I'm not praising you."

"You are too modest."

"........."

Amidst the banter, the figures of a man and a woman gradually disappeared into the streets.

On the street, the Taoists stopped where they were and looked at each other, wondering why Taihua Goddess Yin Weiying did not leave.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Fairy Yin, why did you stop here?"

The nun stood still, her sleeves fluttering in the wind. She looked so otherworldly that she didn't seem like a mortal. Her eyes were shrouded in darkness.

On the land of Mount Taihua, people chased each other, played and laughed...

What a happy life, new faces every day, good days every day...

If you don't come to me first,
What about the other fairies? !
