Chapter two hundred and twentieth Jiang's dead soul
The woman in the courtyard seemed a little panicked when she heard this sudden voice. Although the man who had been silently by her side was very kind to her, he never told her what he did.
However, from the first night she met him, from the faint smell of blood coming from his body, she knew that the man she liked was not a kind-hearted man doing a decent business.
But what does it matter? He treats himself well and doesn't mind that he is blind, so why should he care about his identity?
This woman named Ling'er also thought about whether her husband would be visited by his enemies one day, but after thinking about it, she would just die with him!
But she never thought that this day would come so soon!
These are just the woman's random thoughts. She may not even know that her man is a first-class master. Of course, even if Bai Zhi told her, it would be difficult for her to have a clear idea of the so-called first-class master.
Outside the courtyard, Gui Xiao was not in a hurry to enter. He wanted to see Scholar Jian's attitude towards him first.
In the courtyard, Scholar Jian felt the familiar aura outside the door and remained silent for a moment.
Although he had prepared that the headquarters would know his situation sooner or later, and although he had expected this day to come, he would still be reluctant to let go when the peaceful days were completely broken.
Scholar Jian is a smart man. When someone came to look for him from the headquarters, he knew it was time for him to return to that bloody world.
There is no retreat but there is no advance! What a wonderful person who has no advance but no retreat!
Almost all people in the arena love to say that you can't help yourself in the arena. But the most real feeling of everyone is that you can't know the joy of a fish unless you are a fish.
But it wasn't until this moment that Scholar Jian finally had a clear understanding of his inability to control himself.
Scholar Jian held Ling'er's hand with one hand and felt the tension conveyed to him by Ling'er through her clenched palms. He gently patted the woman's back with one hand to relieve her nervousness.
"Don't be afraid."
Scholar Jian whispered in the woman's ear, and the latter nodded firmly, but the harder her palms showed that she was not at peace in her heart.
A little girl who has never even killed a chicken in twenty years suddenly finds herself involved in some beatings and killings. How can she not be afraid!
"Go to the stronghold and wait for me. I'll go there later."
Holding the woman's hand, Scholar Jian whispered to the ghost owl across the wall.
Outside the courtyard, Gui Xiao was hesitant. He wanted to push the door open and walk in, but he was afraid that he would be struck out by the scholar's sword that had still broken through to the first-level realm in the next second.
If it hadn't been for his inaction in the Southern Tang Dynasty in recent years, according to the rules set by his ancestors, this man who had already entered the strongest ranks in the world might have become the first Supreme Elder of the Dark Pavilion.
"good."
After much hesitation, Gui Xiao still chose to leave because he felt there was no need to get into trouble with Scholar Sword at this time.
As for the purpose of this trip, he was sure that Scholar Sword would definitely take over the task of assassinating Jiang Ergou, because only in this way could he give the women in the courtyard a stable life.
They came without a sound and left without a trace. The two masters inside and outside the wall knew each other well. Although the woman did not understand the situation at this time, he was smart enough that she did not ask questions.
"I am indeed not a good person, but I cannot be said to be bad. Although I have killed many people in my life, I am not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately."
After confirming that Gui Xiao had left, Scholar Sword turned into Bai Pheasant Credit again. His tone was gentle, but he was still afraid that words like the word "death" would frighten the gentle woman in front of him.
"You... don't have to tell me this, I... I... will wait for you to come back!"
"Ah!"
The white pheasant laughed out loud.
"I have to say this all the time. Just don't blame me for lying to you. But don't be afraid. Your husband-in-law is very powerful. The only people in the world who can kill your husband-in-law are those few people. Wait a few years.
, we will go into seclusion and live a peaceful life."
The woman didn't speak, but her smile showed her love for a peaceful life.
She longed for him. She didn't want her man to be very capable. It would be better if he was just a farmer, so that she and her children would not be able to starve in the future.
As for martial arts masters, although I heard that Mr. Shu would be a little yearned for them when he talked about them in the past, I never envied them.
To her, the story was still a story after all, just listen to it, and living a down-to-earth life was the life she really wanted.
Feeling that the woman's mood had calmed down, Scholar Jian spoke to the woman again.
"I'm going out to take care of some things. I'll be back soon, don't worry."
Ling'er nodded lightly, Bai Zhiqiang leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, gently stroked her cheek with his hand, then pulled away and walked towards the courtyard door step by step.
The secret pavilion stronghold in Shujiang City is located in the south of the city. Bai Pheasant personally selected the location on credit. The purpose is naturally to keep his other identity far away from that small courtyard.
Walking from the north of the city to the south, Scholar Jian began to think about the real purpose of Gui Xiao's coming this time. It would be simple if he wanted to investigate his own sins of inaction and come to compete with him for power.
Scholar Jian thought very clearly that if Gui Xiao really wanted power, he would hand over all the power in his hands. As long as it could give him and Ling'er a quiet life, even if he lost his current first-level realm
He did not hesitate.
But I am afraid that everything will not be that simple. To be able to climb all the way to the position of the killer of Ange Tianzihao, Shu Shengjian certainly knows the virtues of the other killers of Tianzihao.
They would rather kill 11,000 people by mistake than let one go! The only thing that can truly reassure them is the corpse! Only when a person is truly dead will there be no possibility of him suddenly jumping up and slashing you!
But Scholar Jian was also confident that Gui Xiao did not dare to play any conspiracy against him. Part of it was due to his strength, and part of it was that although there were constant overt and covert fights among the people in the dark pavilion, they had never been brought to the surface.
Walking into the lobby of the Ange stronghold, Gui Xiao was already sitting there waiting for him. The two of them had not seen each other for several years, and at this moment they both chose to look at each other quietly.
It was obvious to Scholar Jian that Gui Xiao's strength was not even close to the first level, but Gui Xiao could no longer clearly see the strength of Scholar Jian. This strengthened his belief that Scholar Jian had already broken through to the first level.
"You have indeed entered the first-level realm."
The ghost owl said in a deep voice, obviously with some bad intentions.
He was the first among the four existing Tianzihao assassins in the Ange to break through to the second-level realm, but now that someone has entered the first-level realm before him, of course he will have some other ideas.
"The breakthrough was made about half a year ago."
Scholar Jian's tone was still gentle, and he did not become strong because of his strength.
"Then let me ask you, since we have broken through to the first level, why is our Southern Tang Branch of the Dark Pavilion still hiding in the Hollyhock Province? With your current strength, it is not impossible to plan the entire Southern Tang Dynasty!"
Scholar Jian didn't answer for the first time, what should I say? Should I just tell Gui Xiao that I don't want to work anymore! I want to resign!
I'm afraid that as soon as these words are spoken, tomorrow the hot-tempered ancestor will rush from Dachu to Southern Tang to kill him.
"You don't have to rush to answer me."
Gui Xiao saw that Scholar Jian was unwilling to speak and did not become more aggressive. He seemed to want to boil the frog in warm water.
"Coming here this time, my ancestor does not mean to hold you accountable. In the case of lack of people and materials, it is not easy for you to lead Ange to this point in Southern Tang Dynasty, even if you have been slacking off in the past two years.
Ancestor, I can understand you. You have worked hard for so long and want to live a good life for two years. No one will say anything and no one dares to say anything. It’s just that you are getting married and you don’t send everyone a wedding invitation so that we can come and have a drink.
Wedding wine is a bit excessive!"
Bai Zhe's smile remained unchanged. As long as he skipped the question just now, he actually didn't mind perfunctory with the man in front of him.
"Ling'er is not a member of the world. I don't want to involve her. She doesn't like the excitement, so the wedding is not a big one. If you want to have a wedding drink, I will arrange it at the best restaurant in the city later.
The last table is considered as a reward
Your apology."
Gui Xiao followed and laughed.
"You must drink this wine, but not now. Although my ancestor understands that you are living a good life in Southern Tang Dynasty, I still hope that you can stand up and provoke the dark pavilion. After all, you are our dark pavilion now.
The only first-grade master besides the ancestor."
Scholar Jian did not comment on this. Gui Xiao had no good intentions when he came to Southern Tang from Dachu, but he didn't know what mission he was going to take on this time.
Looking at Scholar Jian's frown, Gui Xiao continued.
"Actually, I do have something to do for you when I come here this time. As for the reason, no one else in the entire dark pavilion can do it except you."
"What's the matter?"
Scholar Jian asked in a cold tone, since it was time for everyone to take out their chips to play the game, he no longer needed to be polite to the ghost owl.
"kill!"
Hearing Gui Xiao's answer, Scholar Jian suddenly realized that if you want to kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed.
And just now Gui Xiao specially emphasized that no one else can do this but only his Scholar Sword can do it, so isn't that just telling him clearly that he wants you to assassinate a first-level master!
This attack can be said to be thankless for Scholar Sword. As a first-level master, he may not necessarily get a good deal in the hands of others. Even if he can successfully kill the opponent, he may end up with a state of decline in the future.
.
And if he can't kill the other party, he will make a grudge against a first-level master for no reason. You know, the revenge of a first-level master is quite terrifying.
Thinking of this, Scholar Jian felt a little flustered in his heart but remained calm on the surface.
"I don't seem to have any enmity with that first-grade master in the Ange in the past two years."
Ghost Owl clapped his hands and praised.
"As expected of the quick-thinking person chosen by our ancestors, he is really smart. You also know the first-level master we want to kill this time. In a sense, he is an old acquaintance of ours."
The ghost owl's face showed a look of horror as he recalled it.
"Do you still remember that time in the capital? That operation against Mo Ruyue, the leader of the Xingyue Sect, the old swordsman who killed our last Wheel King."
Scholar Jian's eyelids twitched.
"But isn't that man already dead? Can he still crawl out of the coffin?"
The ghost owl shook his head.
"Of course it can't be him. If he really comes back from the dead, even if the ancestor does it himself, he may not be able to defeat him. But do you still remember the boy named Jiang Ergou who was following him? A few days ago, he was in the university
When he appeared in Chu territory, his realm fluctuations have already entered the first-level realm. If this beast is not eliminated, I am afraid it will bring great trouble to my Ange."
Scholar Jian was shocked again. The little guy who was only at the fourth level the last time they met has already entered the first level?
If he was given a few more years, wouldn't he be able to compete with his ancestor? But if the ancestor took action in person, wouldn't it be more certain? He and Jiang Ergou are both at the first level. How can the ancestor guarantee that he can do it?
I can kill that Jiang Ergou.
Or the ancestor no longer trusts himself and wants to use Jiang Ergou's hand to destroy him.
Just when Scholar Jian was thinking wildly, Gui Xiao continued to speak.
"The ancestor is sitting in the secret pavilion and cannot be touched lightly. If the ancestor leaves, the major forces in the world will definitely get the news. That boy has a deep relationship with the Wenjian Sect and the Xingyue Sect. He has not been seen for many years.
Lin Cangsheng and Mo Ruyue, who are still alive, will jump out to protect him, so this matter can only be left to you. For the sake of my dark pavilion's century-old plan, please be sure to kill this beast."
Scholar Jian suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and looked at Gui Xiao, who had a fairly sincere expression at this time, thinking about the causes and consequences of the whole thing.
But no matter what considerations he had, Scholar Jian could only nod his head. Even if he knew that there was a big pit in front of him, he could only jump down without hesitation.
In the hope that this method could bring him and the woman in the courtyard in the north of the city some peaceful time.
