Chapter 152 Leader and Leader 04
After talking with Jinniang, Lin Xi's expression was not very good. He seemed to be thinking about the problem and didn't notice that Xiao Shenzhi next to him was looking at him with worried eyes.
When he went to the resting place in the backyard, Xiao Shenzhi stopped him, "Xi'er."
Lin Xi hesitated for a moment, but stopped and turned to look at him.
The weather is very good now, with white clouds and warm sun, and the breeze is blowing the ink-like hair.Xiao Shenzhi just looked at him steadfastly, and didn't say until the other person's face got a little impatient, "What happened between you and that Xie Lianyi?"
"Do I need to tell you?" Lin Xi asked indifferently.
Xiao Shenzhi didn't care about his attitude, and said directly, "I also found some clues about the Lin family's affairs back then, not only about the Wushuang Sword Manual, but also the Xuanyan Sect..."
He spoke slowly, and then walked up to Lin Xi step by step, and the tall figure completely enveloped him.He lowered his head slightly, his deep eyes seemed to have a different kind of temptation, "I hope you can trust me, even if you use me, it doesn't matter."
Unknowingly, Lin Xi, whose gaze fell into obsession, suddenly took a step back, feeling a sense of embarrassment running away.He frowned and said calmly, "Although we are childhood sweethearts, what happened back then has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to do this for me."
Xiao Shenzhi suddenly smiled, his already handsome face shone with this smile.
He said, "No matter how unreasonable you pretend to be, I still know that you have not changed, and you are still the same as I remember."
Lin Xi clenched his fists tightly. He felt that he needed to refute, but he couldn't say a word.After a while, he leaned his body against the wall behind him as if giving up struggling, and said as if nothing had happened, "What did you say about the Xuanyan Sect back then?"
While their relationship takes its first steps.
Xiao Shenzhi also took a step forward, still maintaining the distance before Lin Xi.
He did not continue the topic just now, but followed Lin Xi's doubts and said, "The things that happened back then were actually very strange. The Lin family is also considered a family of martial arts, so how could they do it right away. With the approval of the previous alliance leader. Among them, those who signed the letter are all the heads of the family, but such a big matter can be decided by one letter, but..."
"But they still got the leader's handwriting, and went to my Lin's house to search for robbers." Speaking of these things, Lin Xi's eyes unconsciously showed a sinister emotion.
"Just three years later, the former leader suddenly became insane and sometimes sober. It is said that he became obsessed while practicing martial arts, and later vomited blood and died during a retreat. The Wulin League had no successor for two years until the martial arts conference was held three years ago. I have been investigating this matter since I came back from Master, I think the death of the former alliance leader is very strange, I heard that when he died, his body was covered with black worms."
Lin Xi looked up at him, and asked in surprise and suspicion, "The black bug? Are you sure you heard it right?"
Xiao Shenzhi's face immediately turned serious, "I heard this from the guards next to the former lord. The scene is really too horrifying, and there should be no possibility of misreading it. These black bugs, don't you know what?"
Lin Xi pursed her lips, and when she was thinking deeply, she wanted to touch her wrist, but it was in vain.He subconsciously looked at Xiao Shenzhi, and sure enough, the other party was staring at his empty left wrist.
After stroking his sleeves and returning his thoughts to the matter just now, Lin Xi said the bits and pieces in his memory, "My mother was the last saint of the Xuanyan Sect, so how much do I know about the Xuanyan Sect? Yes, I know some. The Xuanyan Sect originated in Miaojiang. The leader of the founder is a Miaojiang woman who is good at using Gu. Later, due to various reasons, she migrated to the Central Plains. The number of people who can use Miaojiang Gu is decreasing. , in order to let the congregation live a peaceful life, the leader at that time asked everyone to choose the life they wanted. Some people who disagreed with him left, and some chose their own life, and the rest followed The leader is in business."
Xiao Shenzhi listened seriously, "Do you think those black worms are Miao Jiang's Gu worms?"
Lin Xi looked solemn, "I also hope it's just a coincidence. After all, I have to think more about my mother's identity. When my mother, who was a saint, proposed to leave my father, some people in the church objected, but The leader agreed and also proposed to lead everyone to live a stable life."
However, Xiao Shenzhi thought of another new thinking circuit, "According to what you said, they really came here for the sword manual, so if one of them got the news of the sword manual, the first thing he thought about was how to monopolize it. However, this person Don’t you think it’s unreasonable to tell the news to other people with the same martial arts skills, and even reach an agreement?”
"What's even more unreasonable is that the former leader actually agreed to such a ridiculous thing."
Xiao Shenzhi murmured, "I'm afraid that person's goal in the first place was not the sword book, but the Lin family. I will start investigating the matter of the former alliance leader, and I should be able to find some clues."
Lin Xi lowered her head and said after a while, "I'll ask Brother Xiwu to help me find out the whereabouts of those who chose to leave Xuanyan Sect."
Then the atmosphere between the two fell silent for a moment, Lin Xi took a deep breath and turned around and said at the same time, "If you want to know about Lianyi, you can ask Jin Niang."
After receiving Lin Xi's order, Jin Niang began to manage the accounts of Zuiyun Tower, and then directed the girls' handymen to clean up their belongings.When she saw Xiao Shenzhi approaching, she went up to meet her and gave a little blessing, "Just now, the leader has asked someone to inform me, if Leader Xiao wants to know anything, just ask."
Xiao Shenzhi held the sword and cupped his hands, as a return of courtesy.
"Please ask Jin Niang to clarify for me, what happened between Xi'er and Xie Lianyi?"
From Jinniang's perspective, he was imposing and imposing, but his words were polite.At the moment, he has a lot of affection for the rumored leader of the martial arts, and he smiles. He is in his early thirties, but he is quite girly, "Lianyi is a child who was saved when the leader first came to the throne. He just When he was fourteen, he was sold to the Goulan Courtyard by his parents, and when he escaped, he happened to be met by the leader and spent money to buy his contract of sale."
"It stands to reason that the relationship between these two people can't be too bad."
Speaking of this, a little embarrassment appeared on Jinniang's face, "Although that kid Lian Yi escaped, he stayed in Goulan Courtyard for more than half a year. A few years ago, the leader would visit him from time to time, until he nearly drugged the leader. After climbing into the leader's bed...the leader has never had a good face towards him. In fact, the child probably admires the leader, but this method is counterproductive."
Although Zuiyun Tower is an elegant place, it is only a show, and Lin Xi has also taken care of the surrounding relationship, and the name of Qifenggu is behind it.In the past few years, I haven't encountered any troubles, and occasionally those who don't know each other are directly kicked out.
Xiao Shenzhi's eyes were calm, and he didn't speak. Jin Niang couldn't guess his thoughts for a while, so she said, "Although the leader always looks cold and hard to approach, he is actually a very gentle person."
"I know." Xiao Shenzhi replied with the same determination, Xi'er's disposition has never changed, it's just that she had to force herself to look indifferent because of revenge.
It only took one day for Zuiyunlou to be cleaned up. After some girls who took in were given Yin Zi to let them leave, the rest were taught by Xuanyan.
The two girls who were gossiping were still locked in the backyard and hadn't been released. They didn't ask any questions, but they couldn't be easily let go.
Just to be on the safe side, Lin Xi also changed their return route, and at the same time Feige sent a letter to the branch churches to watch out for traitors.
The bustling Zuiyun Tower now has only an empty shell left. Lin Xi sat in a private seat on the second floor, holding a wine glass in his hand and drank it all in one gulp.Then he said, "It doesn't look so peaceful tonight, you have time to go now."
Xiao Shenzhi laughed a little, "In your eyes, am I such a cowardly person who is afraid of death?"
Lin Xi shook her head, "I don't want to involve you, but you want to get involved."
Xiao Shenzhi leaned over and held his wrist, looking at him with fiery eyes, "We have been entangled with each other many years ago, why should we care about these details?"
Lin Xi smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled away, broke away from his hand and poured himself another glass of wine, which he placed heavily on the table.
"I don't want this kind of entanglement."
Just when he was about to ask him what he wanted, Xiao Shenzhi vigilantly picked up the sword next to him.
At this moment, several men in black broke through the window!
They looked around at the brightly lit but empty Zuiyun Tower. The moment they saw Lin Xi, they looked at each other and nodded, and then rushed straight towards him with their swords in hand.
