The reunion of friends after a long absence should be a time to reminisce about old friendships, not to mention that they were once close friends who were willing to live and die together. However, Xu Yihang and Gongsun Zizai, a young and an old man, are very different from ordinary people. This may also be due to the relationship between the two.

Temperament has a lot to do with it.

Gongsun Zizai has never had a formal appearance in his life, and Xu Yihang is thin-skinned and unwilling to take things seriously. These two are really bastards.

Gongsun Zizai asked to borrow money with a shy face, and Xu Yihang couldn't refuse. He was about to tell Zhou Zhong to get two or three hundred taels to deal with it, but he heard Sun Sanli, the Zhenhai Thunderbolt, asked: "Did Young Master Xu just inquire about Feijianmen?

"

When Xu Yihang saw someone interrupting him, he felt secretly happy. Gongsun Zizai glanced at Sun Sanli, but Sun Sanli had finally gotten to know Xu Yihang and Zhou Zhong, two masters in the world, but he still looked at Gongsun Zizai's resentful eyes.

Xu Yihang stopped mentioning the money issue and asked Sun Sanli, "Brother Sun has an old relationship with Feijianmen?"

Sun Sanli was considered an honest person, and he answered honestly: "I don't have any friendship with the Feijian Sect. It's just that I have been here in Yingyang for many years, so I know a lot about the Feijian Sect."

Xu Yihang asked: "Can Brother Sun please tell me?"

Sun Sanli said: "The Feijian Sect has only been recruiting disciples for a short time, only about twenty years, but the martial arts of the sect, Luohong Sword Technique, is very powerful, and the standards for selecting disciples are extremely high. Only young people with excellent talents can become disciples."

Although it is a small sect, it is quite prestigious in the Central Plains. Its current sect leader Huo Ying is ranked in the middle of the list of celebrities and is also a master in the world."

Xu Yihang asked again: "Only young people with superior talents are accepted? If he is a martial arts prodigy, why would he join the Feijian Sect? Which of the Shangqing Sect, Beicang Sect, and Three Jue Sects is not better than the Feijian Sect?"

Sun Sanli said: "The big sects have too many talented people to get ahead, and they also have a lot of money to get started as apprentices. Ordinary people can't afford it. It's better to choose a reliable small sect."

Xu Yihang nodded: "Well, what you said makes sense. How is the Feijian Sect's behavior?"

Sun Sanli replied: "Feijian sect disciples rarely go down the mountain. They practice martial arts on Gaiping Mountain all year round, and they are chivalrous and righteous? I have never heard of them. They do many evil deeds? There are no such rumors. However, the sect leader Huo Ying seems to have purchased a property in the city.

, there is a house and a business.”

Xu Yihang wondered: "Don't travel around the world? Just hide in the mountains and practice martial arts?"

Sun Sanli said: "I heard that the disciples of Feijian Sect will serve the Northern Zhou Dynasty after they are successful in their studies and come down from the mountain, but this is just a rumor."

Xu Yihang secretly thought: "Submission to the Northern Zhou Dynasty? Well, the Zhenwu Si Li Chengxiao is a disciple of the Feijian Sect. But how did the Feijian Sect cut off the trade routes of the Southern Qi Dynasty when they lived in seclusion in the mountains?"

Sun Sanli asked: "Xu Shaoxia inquired about Feijian Sect because he wanted to compete with Master Huo?"

Xu Yihang replied: "Yes and no, Lao Zhou and I came all the way from Shu to meet the heroes of the martial arts in the Central Plains."

Sun Sanli complimented: "Young hero has great martial arts skills and lofty aspirations. I admire you."

Xu Yihang was about to say a few words of humility when he heard Gongsun Zizai say: "Sanli, stop flattering him, this kid is much worse than you think."

"Ah?" Sun Sanli said in surprise.

Gongsun Zizai grabbed the conversation and said, "Little friend? What's the matter with my money?"

Xu Yihang said: "Let's talk after we eat and drink enough."

...

Half an hour later, the main street of Yingyang City.

"Little friend, please walk slower. Alas, I've eaten too much and can't keep up with my pace."

"You are the best in Qinggong in the world, how can you not keep up? Old Zhou has three thousand taels of silver in his arms."

"Oh? I'm here too~~~"

...

Ten days later, Xu Yihang and Zhou Zhong were sitting idle in a tea shed outside Yingyang City.

Xu Yihang said: "After these days of investigation, it turns out that Feijian Sect is exactly as Sun Sanli said. Except for the sect leader Huo Ying who comes to the city for a short stay every five days, not a single Feijian disciple comes down the mountain."

Zhou Zhongdao: "Have you made a mistake again? When you were trying to pick the Flower Spear Sect, you were soft-hearted. Now when you are facing the Feijian Sect, you are checking so carefully. Why bother? Just do what King Qi ordered. You don't care. His Feijian Sect is doing evil things."

Xu Yihang said: "It's better to keep a thin line in everything. King Qi doesn't have the final say in this martial arts world. If you and I kill innocent people indiscriminately and it becomes known, I'm afraid that we will be like that yellow chaos and will not be tolerated by the righteousness of the martial arts world." "

Zhou Zhong said: "Then you are not afraid of offending King Qi? Will I kill you again?"

Xu Yihang glanced at Zhou Zhong and said, "Do you really think I can't run away then?"

Zhou Zhong sarcastically said: "You are very capable, but you were locked up in a military tent to be executed."

Xu Yihang muttered: "You don't understand the things inside. Some people and some things must go through the test of life and death."

Zhou Zhong asked again: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Old Zhou, I'm just wondering, why did you refuse when the Kaitian Mahamudra and Zhenhai Thunderbolt wanted to follow you?"

Xu Yihang said: "Those people are just ordinary people in the world. Not to mention that they have just met and don't know the details. Let's talk about what you and I did. If you take them with you, it will not only be more troublesome, but it will also cost people's lives." Why bother?"

Zhou Zhongdao: "Where is Gongsun Toad? That old man's light kung fu is unrivaled in the martial arts world, and he is also a master on Fengyun Mountain's list."

Xu Yihang said: "Well, although Senior Gongsun acted erratically, he once wanted to risk his life to save me. How could I repay him with kindness and bring him into danger?"

Zhou Zhong was about to say something more when he saw a group of seven or eight riders riding to the south, led by a fat man with a mustache, riding a tall horse and looking proudly at the two of them.

Zhou Zhong said happily: "Yu Sima is here."

Xu Yihang turned around and saw that several of Yu Siren's horses had arrived. He saw this fat man turned over and dismounted. He looked cool, but he was too fat. His left foot was caught in the stirrup, and he stumbled and slapped his face on the ground. The legs are still hanging in the stirrups.

Xu Yihang couldn't hold it back for a moment and spit out the coarse tea in his mouth. Zhou Zhong stood up and laughed and said: "Brother Yu gave you such a big gift. I really can't bear it, old Zhou."

Yu Siren's followers hurriedly dismounted and helped him up. These followers looked embarrassed.

Yu Siren gently stroked the dust on his face, patted his sleeves, and said nonchalantly: "It's a good thing it's not the Chinese New Year, otherwise you two would have been lavished with money."

Yu Siren took a few steps and sat down. He was not polite, took a tea cup and poured himself a drink. After a while, he said: "The King of Qi urgently summoned me back to Shoucheng a few days ago. He has a secret order for me to convey."

Xu Yihang said: "Lao Zhou and I are still wondering why we can't find the mark you left in Yingyang territory. I bet you didn't come at all."

Yu Siren said: "What can I do, Lao Yu? Wang Ling is like a mountain."

Xu Yihang asked: "What order did King Qi give you?"

Yu Siren sighed and said: "It's not for me, it's for you. King Qi has strictly ordered that the Feijian Sect must be completely eliminated, and it must not make its own decisions like the Huaqiang Sect."

Xu Yihang thought about it and said: "King Qi no longer trusts me. If I deal with Feijianmen lightly, there is a chance that King Qi will punish me."

Yu Siren said: "Yes, King Qi blames you for handling the Huaqianmen and the Donghai Gang too gently and failing to achieve the purpose of weakening their strength."

At this time, Zhou Zhong said: "Let me tell you. Sooner or later, the King of Qi will take action on you. What is the king's order? The king's order is unquestionable and resolutely implemented. If all the ministers are like you, then what prestige does the King of Qi have?

?”

Xu Yihang said: "Yes, Lao Zhou, your loyal words are offensive to my ears. I am stubborn."

Zhou Zhongdao: "Then you and I will go to Gaiping Mountain tonight? Sha Feijianmen will be caught off guard? It just so happens that Brother Yu has brought someone here to help."

Yu Siren didn't say anything, and poured the pot of coarse tea into his mouth.

Xu Yihang said disdainfully: "How many lifetimes have you not had tea? How many pots of tea have you refilled in this little time?"

Yu Siren wiped his lips and said: "King Qi also reminded that Hu Kang's crossbow cavalry can be used when not in use, so as not to leave traces and be noticed by others."

Xu Yihang said: "Then what King Qi means is for me and Lao Zhou to challenge the entire Feijian Sect?"

Yu Siren said leisurely: "The King of Qi counts. In the royal city, he is the King of Qi. Outside the royal city, I have the final say."

Xu Yihang looked in disbelief, looking at Yu Siren like a monster, secretly wondering when did this fat man become so cowardly?

Yu Siren added: "I have prepared the Menghan medicine. If Feijianmen detects it when we go up the mountain, Hu Kang's crossbow cavalry will directly join the battle."

Xu Yihang slapped Yu Siren on the back, causing Yu Siren's whole body to tremble with fat.

Xu Yihang said happily: "As expected of the Sima of the General's Office, he has some courage and courage."

Yu Siren curled his lips and said: "You think I am Lao Yu and I am willing to mess with the Feijianmen? You are not that kid Hu Kang, who will fight to clear the way up the mountain for you."

Xu Yihang felt sad when he heard this and asked: "How are Hu Kang and the other brothers? I haven't seen you for a long time, so I miss you."

Yu Siren said: "Okay, very good. Ever since they followed Xing Zongliang, Hu Kang and his gang have been so arrogant! It seems that they are the only elites in the entire Southern Qi Dynasty. These days, they are under my command and occasionally follow my orders."

I'll do it."

Xu Yihang said: "The arrogant soldiers and weak generals, Hu Kang has already given you a lot of face by not giving up the challenge directly."

Yu Siren rolled his eyes and did not refute.

Zhou Zhong just listened and said nothing. Both of them said that King Qi was a piece of cake. How could he dare to interrupt? Although Zhou Zhong was arrogant, he was a military general after all, and he still had a sense of awe for the royal power in his bones.

These three people were plotting to destroy the sect, but they didn't see a young man a few tables away who was secretly looking at them from time to time.

...

After nightfall, the moon was dark and the wind was high enough to kill people. At the foot of Gaiping Mountain, a group of people were chattering in the woods. In this quiet night, except for the crisp chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves by the mountain wind, these people were the only ones who felt heavy.

breathe.

"My lord, please see me!" A man walked lightly to Xu Yihang's side, clasped his fists and bowed.

"Hu Kang, long time no see." Xu Yihang replied.

Fifty elite soldiers behind Hu Kang knelt on one knee and worshiped in a low voice: "We will see you, Sir Yi!"

Xu Yihang waved his hand and said: "Tonight is a matter of life and death. You don't have to be constrained by etiquette. Don't be noticed by the people on the mountain."

Hu Kang said: "I will obey your orders."

Xu Yihang asked: "Where are the other people under your command?"

Hu Kang said: "I was worried that there would be too much noise due to the large number of people, so I left the rest of the troops at the border between the two countries. Don't worry, sir. The fifty brothers who came tonight are all carefully selected masters."

Xu Yihang said: "How can I not trust you? You are all warriors who followed me through life and death. I know you best."

Hu Kang seemed to have tears rolling down his eyes and replied: "Thank you, sir."
