The two of them stared into the distance, seeing numerous figures in the Xiahou Mansion, and each guard held a torch in their hands, which was very dazzling.

Dai Luo pondered for a moment, then looked back and whispered to Qingru: "Ru'er, Xia Houyan is very scheming and has a very deep city. I'm afraid he won't admit it easily!"

"We have a lot of entanglements with Huangfu Xiong. If we are not careful, they may lead to a siege by the two of them!" Dai Luo's worry is not unreasonable. Huangfu Xiong's hatred for Dai Luo is already surging.

, it may be triggered at any time. If Huangfu Xiong and Xia Houyan are attracted to join forces, Dai Luo and Qingru will be in a bad situation and the situation will be critical!

After hearing what Dai Luo said, Qingru smiled slightly and said softly: "Brother Dai, don't worry! Although Huangfu Xiong insisted on blaming Huangfu Chong's death on you, with his ability, how could he not know that there was something fishy in it?

"

"What's more, Huangfu Chong happened to die when the situation in Luoyang was in chaos. With such an ability, he was able to seize the opportunity so accurately in the presence of many experts, sneak in quietly, and kill Huangfu Chong unexpectedly with one move!"

"How can someone who can do this be an ordinary person?" Qingru smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Dai Luo pondered for a moment and said, "Ru'er, if we can find the real murderer of Huangfu Chong that day, Xia Houyan will no longer be able to deny him!"

"It's just that I don't know who in the Xia Houyan faction did it..." Dai Luo frowned slightly, his face full of tangle and deep thought.

Qingru looked at Dai Luo and couldn't help but smile slightly, and then said: "Don't worry, I know that the murderer can't escape!"

"Oh?" Dai Luo was a little surprised.

The two of them didn't waste any more time. They walked quietly and sneaked on top of the high wall and roof. They saw two ghost-like black shadows, rising and falling as rabbits and falcons, passing through like a shuttle. After a few ups and downs, they disappeared into the many pavilions and houses.

, disappeared.

Huangfu Xiong and Xia Houyan were exchanging cups and cups, chatting constantly.

Xia Houyan smiled faintly and said, "Brother Huangfu, is there any conflict between you and nephew Dai Luo Dai?"

"Hahaha!" Brother Huangfu sneered when he heard this, and then said, "What can I hide from Brother Xiahou about the affairs in the world? The dispute between Dai Luo and I has been going on for a long time, and the origin is that I am a famous figure in the world.

, I think Brother Xiahou understands it too!"

"Yes, yes!" Xia Houyan nodded slightly and smiled calmly.

The so-called origin is not just because Huangfu coveted Dai Mengyao's position as the leader of the martial arts alliance, so he killed him. This is not enough.

Xia Houyan suddenly changed his subject, looked at Huangfu Xiong, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Huangfu, Brother Yu heard something. A few months ago, a martial arts competition was held in Jiangning! You..."

"Huh!" Huangfu Xiong recalled his embarrassed and aggrieved look at the martial arts competition. He couldn't help but get angry and said coldly, "Now that it's over, there's no need to talk about it anymore. I'm here today just for this kind of thing.

!”

"In today's world, the leader of the martial arts alliance takes the lead, and there are four major martial arts families next to him. Dai Mengyao is dead, and the temporary alliance leader Zhang Qiushui is said to have died... Then the new leader of the martial arts alliance will be

It should be recommended from among the four major families including us!"

Huangfu Xiong's eyes were sinister and he said coldly: "But now the gang of bald donkeys from the Shaolin Temple and the gangsters in the world are constantly interfering. It is really noisy and abominable!"

Xia Houyan smiled faintly and said: "Brother Huangfu, in your opinion, who is more suitable for the position of leader of the martial arts alliance between you and me?" There was a cold smile in his words.

When Huangfu Xiong heard what Xia Hou said, a smile appeared on his face: "Brother Xia Hou has great martial arts skills. Originally, you should be the leader of the alliance, but..."

Huangfu Xiong smiled faintly, shook his head and sighed: "It's just that Brother Xiahou has rarely been involved in political affairs in recent years. If he suddenly takes the position of leader now, I'm afraid..."

"Humph!" After hearing what Huangfu Xiong said, Xia Houyan still had a smile on his face, but a cold feeling came into his heart, "Huangfu Xiong, don't I know what you are thinking? What do you think?

How can it be so easy to be the leader of the martial arts alliance?"

Although Xia Houyan was rarely involved in the affairs of the world, he was still the head of the Xiahou Mansion, one of the four most prestigious families in the world. Huangfu Xiong once had great power and influence in the world, both black and white.

They all have tyrannical forces, but now Huangfu Xiong has become infamous because of his organization and instigation to plan the Dripping Blood Hall to frame the former martial arts leader and massacre the Dai family, and he has become a public enemy of the righteous people in the world.

Faced with such a God-given opportunity, Xia Houyan could easily become the leader of the martial arts alliance. In addition, Emperor Mingzhen is not in the capital now. If he takes advantage of this moment to cause trouble, Tian Heng will help him.

Nowadays, the situation in the court is turbulent and ever-changing. Especially after Emperor Mingzhen left Beijing, there was a dispute between the government and the public. Even in the royal family, some princes explicitly criticized Emperor Mingzhen for being incompetent during his reign.

Not only did it fail to make any achievements, but it destroyed a prosperous era that the late emperor carefully managed and left to pieces.

Among the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, few people spoke for Emperor Mingzhen. Emperor Mingzhen had actually become a loner!

Although Cao Ji has been exposed, he still has a lot of influence in the imperial palace. In recent days, Xia Houyan has sent him a letter of greetings. In addition, there is also General Xu Ran who is content in Nanping Mansion. I want to come

They should be almost at Chengtian Mansion at this time, right?

I don't know when, the bright moon emits light and casts a faint moonlight, shining in the pavilion.

Xia Houyan was bathed in the bright light, and suddenly smiled coldly and said: "Brother Huangfu, now you are the target of public criticism. If you become the leader of the martial arts alliance, wouldn't there be a lot of discussion in the world?"

"What's more, brother Huangfu, you have already served as the acting leader of the martial arts alliance. Due to circumstances and reasons, you have no chance of being the leader of the alliance!"

"Xia Houyan, what do you mean?" After hearing Xia Houyan's words, Brother Huangfu's expression changed immediately, and even his name changed. His tone was deep and cold.

"Brother Huangfu, you don't have to worry!" Xia Houyan saw this, smiled softly, and thought in his heart, now that Xu Ran and Cao Ji and others are coming, Xiahou Mansion is far away from the inner court of the palace and the official residences. On the contrary, Huangfu Xiong is here

There are many hidden forces in the capital. If a fight breaks out with Huangfu Xiong at this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to gain full advantage.

"I just said casually, if Brother Huangfu you have such perseverance and perseverance, and you are determined to become the leader of the martial arts alliance, then as your old friend and close friend, I will help you!"
