Zuihua Tower and Songzhu Pavilion in the south of the ancient market.
Zuihua Tower is a brothel built on the outskirts of the ancient market. It has a quiet and elegant environment, like a paradise, far away from the fireworks of the world. Therefore, it is deeply loved by Chinese scholars in Xiushui County.
Among them, the Songzhu Pavilion is independent from the main building and has the best view among all the pavilions in Zuihua Pavilion.
It is located in a bamboo forest, with exquisite pavilions and lush green surroundings.
Shangguan Longjian took a bath in the hot spring pool. Feeling refreshed, he walked to a pavilion outside the Songzhu Pavilion and sat down.
Outside the pavilion, Shangguan Yuan was half-kneeling on the ground, waiting respectfully.
There are several guards from the Shangguan family in the distance. They face outwards and are vigilant in all directions.
"Why did you come to me in the middle of the night?"
Shangguan Longjian brewed a pot of tea for himself and asked casually: "But have we reached an agreement with Li Cang? This one-armed sword has been sharpened and blurred. How long do you want to delay it? Now we are only a few steps away from the real test.
After more than ten days, he doesn’t want to hang out in the ancient market anymore?”
"Back to Young Master!" Shangguan Yuan lowered his head and said, "Li Cang still didn't agree, but during today's banquet, he introduced me to someone, Ruan Qiu, the fourth master of Baiyun Village in Xishan!"
"Xishan Baiyun Village?"
Shangguan Longjian's pupils condensed, and then he laughed: "This fourth master, Ruan Qiu, is specifically responsible for handling stolen goods for Baiyun Village, right? I asked, how did Li Cang become rich so quickly in the past two years? It turns out that he got involved with Baiyun Village
Lu Zi, started a job selling stolen goods to others. In other words, he was unwilling to do this himself and passed it on to Baiyun Village? "
Shangguan Yuan thought, isn't this reasonable?
Chu Xisheng is already ranked eighty-ninth as the Qingyun Prodigy, and is highly valued by everyone in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall.
Young Master, you yourself don’t want to offend Linhaizhou Clan and those from Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall head-on, let alone Li Cang, the one-armed swordsman?
There was no strange expression on his face: "Young master, I see it clearly! However, Ruan Qiu, the fourth master of Baiyun Village, is willing to take over this business. He wants 20,000 magic silver and promises to surround Chu Xisheng before the real test, and
I promise that my family will not be implicated afterwards.
However, our Shangguan family is also responsible for arranging for their Baiyun Village personnel to enter the city, providing intelligence, and arranging three fast ships as a retreat."
Shangguan Yuan raised his head and glanced at Shangguan Longjian's face: "I negotiated the price with him to eighteen thousand taels, and Ruan Qiu asked for a deposit of ten thousand taels now."
"Eighteen thousand taels? A small amount of money." Shangguan Longjian drank tea, still looking careless: "The question is, how can you be sure that Baiyun Village will do things after they take the money?"
"My subordinates think that there is nothing to worry about."
Shangguan Yuan lowered his head again: "Who doesn't know now that our main cultivation level is about to break through to the fourth level? In Xiushui County, there is no one who dares to take our Shangguan family's money for free!"
When Shangguan Longjian heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "That makes sense! Now go to the market to find the shopkeeper of Lingxiangfang and give him 10,000 taels of silver notes from the account!"
He picked up the Langhao pen on the table, swiped it casually, and wrote on the rice paper, 'I now order Shangguan Yuan to come to you to withdraw ten thousand taels of magic silver', and stamped it with his private seal.
Shangguan Longjian threw the rice paper to Shangguan Yuan: "You will be in charge of this matter. Information can be provided, people can be arranged, and ships can be provided. I only want one, and we are not allowed to use our own people.
Beware of Baiyun Village taking the opportunity to cause trouble in the city. I can't worry about this group of desperate bandits."
Shangguan Yuan carefully took the rice paper in his hand: "There are two more things. There is a gold medal killer in Shashenglou who paid a deposit of 1,600 taels and accepted Chu Xisheng's reward. I inquired through channels and learned that this person's name
His name is Li Ya, nicknamed the 'Heart-Piercing Sword', and he is a seventh-level man. Since his debut, he has taken on a total of seventy-five businesses, and has never missed a single one.
The three martial arts masters in Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall are also relieved today. They will find ways to manipulate the formation to make the final battle of the true test ban weapons."
He studied it carefully and found that all of Chu Xisheng's martial arts skills were based on one sword.
This person's boxing and kicking skills are far from reaching the level of a genius, and are even inferior to many people in the martial arts hall.
"It's all good news."
Shangguan Longjian's smile became even brighter: "But I want to see Chu Xisheng's body sink into the river before the real test. Go ahead and finish what I told you."
Shangguan Yuan immediately bowed his head and saluted, and strode out of the Songzhu Hall.
When he arrived at the stables outside the main building of Zuihua Building, his mind suddenly moved slightly and he looked towards a dense forest in the distance.
Shangguan Yuan vaguely saw a dark shadow flashing in the forest.
He then laughed out loud and thought it was his imagination.
Although this Zuihua Tower is located outside the ancient market city, it is heavily guarded. There are two low-grade sixth-grade masters standing guard, and there are a total of 200 guards.
Moreover, it is the property of Lord Junwei. Who dares to cause trouble here?
And just as Shangguan Yuan was riding towards the ancient market, Chu Xisheng and Chu Yunyun had already arrived outside the Songzhu Pavilion.
Chu Yunyun stood on a high place, glanced around, and said in a cold voice: "This Songzhu Pavilion and Shangguan Longjian belong to you, and the others belong to me."
She has recovered some of her true energy, and her power of spiritual awareness has also been greatly enhanced.
At this time, the surrounding situation was clearly understood without the help of magic.
Shangguan Longjian took thirty guards with him, including two seventh-level martial arts cultivators.
But most of these people are outside the Shochiku Hall.
In particular, the two seventh-grade martial arts cultivators with good hearing and vision, probably because they were afraid of disturbing Shangguan Longjian's interest, lived in the row of side rooms twelve feet away from the Songzhu Pavilion.
As for the guards below the seventh rank, Chu Xisheng can handle them by himself.
Compared with these people, what is more noteworthy are the two sixth-grade martial arts cultivators in Zuihua Tower eighty feet away.
Once a fight breaks out, these two people will definitely rush here as soon as possible.
However, the situation this time is much better than that at Longjia Warehouse.
The Longjia Warehouse is in the city, with the city guards nearby. There are also a lot of experts in the dozen or so warehouses around it. Any slightest movement will attract a large number of experts.
This Zuihua Tower hangs alone outside the ancient market. It is very quiet, but there is no help around.
It's really the perfect place for them to get their hands dirty.
Without hesitation, Chu Xisheng flew up and jumped into the courtyard like a light bird, then strode towards the exquisite and exquisite two-story pavilion in front of her.
The guards of the Shangguan family were very conscientious. They spotted him almost immediately and exclaimed.
"who are you?"
"There's an assassin!"
At this time, the six martial arts cultivators on duty in the courtyard immediately drew out their weapons and attacked Chu Xisheng.
Chu Xi's expression remained unchanged until these people rushed closer, then he drew his sword with a 'choking' sound.
He used the 'Wind from a Hole' move to directly chop off the heads of two people; he used the 'Wind Trace' move to quickly and neatly wipe the throats of four people.
The blood of these six people was spilled, but not even half of Chu Xisheng's clothes were stained.
Chu Xisheng's footsteps were not stopped even for a moment, and he rushed directly to the door of Songzhu Pavilion.
As he pointed out, thunder and lightning flashed on his arm, and with just one finger, the door of the Shochiku Pavilion was shattered.
At this time, the two seventh-level martial arts cultivators who were in the side room were all alarmed, and each of them rushed out of the side room like a fleeting shadow.
"Be bold!"
"Crazy man, how dare you offend my young master?"
The two shouted loudly and were furious.
But at this moment, two small black shadows struck in front of them.
Neither of them had time to react before the black shadow penetrated their foreheads.
They were actually two bamboo branches. Chu Yunyun casually took them off and threw them twenty feet away. One blow pierced their foreheads.
Chu Yunyun glanced at the courtyard and didn't pay much attention to it. She had already turned her attention to the main building of Zuihua Building.
As expected, the two sixth-grade martial arts cultivators were rushing this way.
Chu Xisheng entered the Songzhu Pavilion and killed two people in a row until he reached Shangguan Longjian's room.
The Shangguan Master stood in front of the bed in disheveled clothes, holding a sword in one hand and looking at Chu Xisheng with frightened eyes.
"Who are you? Do you know the identity of this young master? You are so brave!"
Shangguan Longjian looked at Chu Xisheng's eyebrows carefully, then his pupils widened and he couldn't believe it: "Are you Chu Xisheng?"
Although the other party's face was covered, Shangguan Longjian still recognized Chu Xisheng's features.
This guy - before he could sink the opponent into the river, this person was already in front of him!
