Chapter 517
Shen Mu smiled apologetically, "I was just talking for fun, to cooperate with the current swindling activities."

Hou Xibai laughed dumbly and said: "If this is called talking and laughing and using soldiers, Zhuge Wuhou, whose name has been passed down through the ages, will surely die of anger."

Shen Mu nudged Xu Ziling lightly with his elbow, and said, "You go out first, we will show up after seeing the situation clearly."

At this moment, Xu Ziling and Shen Mu felt a warning sign at the same time, exchanged glances, and then turned their heads to look back together.

Hou Xibai felt a sense later, and when he looked back, Shi Zhixuan appeared like a ghost on the eaves under the wind and snow, and came behind the three of them in the blink of an eye, and said calmly: "If I hadn't heard your relaxed conversation, I would have thought you were here to assassinate And me."

The three kept squatting and kneeling, and Hou Xibai called out "Master" respectfully.

Shen Mu secretly groaned ashamed, if he really came to carry out the assassination, he would definitely suffer a big loss right now, stealing chickens won't save him money.If Shi Zhixuan "makes trouble at the government", he can't finish eating, and said awkwardly: "Xie Wang, you are very alert, so I almost suspect that you don't need to sleep."

Shi Zhixuan smiled and said: "Tonight is a special night, I don't plan to sleep, I plan to go to say hello to you at dawn."

Xu Ziling was surprised and said, "The evil king's words imply a deep meaning, what do you mean?"

Shi Zhixuan asked instead: "Is Ba Fenghan not in Chang'an?"

Shen Mu said calmly: "Brother Ba, he has other important tasks and cannot be separated."

Shi Zhixuan's male body trembled suddenly, and he looked towards the Qujiang waterway.

The three of them followed his gaze, and saw the shadows of more than a dozen speedboats appearing in the waterway deep in the wind and snow. The figures on the boats were silently approaching Shi Zhixuan's secret nest, and people kept jumping to the stone shore, Dive into the secret lair.

Shi Zhixuan's eyes were full of murderous intent, he snorted coldly, revealing a cruel and cruel tone, but said in a surprisingly calm tone: "Follow me."

The three of them followed him up and down from the southeast of the city to a private house of the city merchant located on the bank of the canal outside the West City, sat down in the hall of another secret nest of Shi Zhixuan, and silently gathered around the round table in the center of the hall.

Shi Zhixuan returned to his unfathomable normality, and said calmly: "So I said this is a special night, and there is another name on my kill list."

Shen Mu and others understood that Shi Zhixuan should have revealed the hiding place to someone, tested the other party's loyalty, but betrayed him.Shi Zhixuan's timing for deploying this operation was very measured. It will not start until their "Situ Furong" team arrives in Chang'an. Even after the accident, they can still keep in touch with them. From this, it can be seen that Shi Zhixuan is indeed sincere in cooperating with them to assassinate Zhao Deyan. .

Xu Ziling asked, "Is it Anlong?"

Shi Zhixuan shook his head and said: "I have long since despaired of Anlong. Although I instructed him to get close to Xu Yan, I knew from him that he leaked the secret of the seal of immortality that he dared to betray me. I, Shi Zhixuan, did not take his life because he still has value of use."

After a pause, he continued: "Do you have any news about Wanwan?"

Xu Ziling shook his head and said no.What I think in my heart is if this person is not An Long, who is this person?What is certain is that this person should be someone close to Li Yuan, so after knowing Shi Zhixuan's hiding place, he can immediately instigate Li Yuan to attack him.What impact will this incident have on Shi Zhixuan?
Shi Zhixuan said indifferently: "The lights in the house are the signal that I made an appointment with that son of a bitch, indicating that I am in the house." Turning to Shen Mu, he said, "Young Commander, are you interested in killing a few people tonight?"

Shen Mu said in a deep voice: "That depends on who is killed."

Shi Zhixuan smiled and said: "Of course the young commander is not happy with their people who live in this world."

Shen Mu was stunned and said, "Yang Wengan?"

Shi Zhixuan laughed, and said: "His life and death are completely decided by the young commander at this moment. I just want to send a warning to the traitor Xu Yan by killing him, let him watch the people who supported him die one by one, and taste the feeling of being alone and helpless. "

Xu Ziling said: "If we startle the snake, it will be harmful to our assassination of Zhao Deyan."

Shi Zhixuan said indifferently: "Ziling's Jianghu experience is not old enough. I just use this to test your means of dealing with the Xiang family, which form it is. From this point of view, you should have a complete plan to uproot the Xiang family, so Adhere to the rule that small indifference leads to big plans, right?"

The three of them looked at each other in dismay, Shi Zhixuan saw through many of their decisions before they could get a few words.

Shi Zhixuan sighed: "Tonight's incident made me greatly miscalculate the future development. You'd better tell the whole plan of coming to Chang'an, so as not to be destroyed by me unintentionally."

The three of you looked at me, not knowing how to answer him for a while.

Xu Ziling looked at Shi Zhixuan, as if he was looking at another person.

The Shi Zhixuan in front of him is still the evil king who can shake the rivers and lakes, and no one in the world can do anything to him.No one dares to doubt that the number one master of the Demon Sect still has the authority that those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish, but he clearly grasps the desolate and cold situation where Shi Zhixuan's people are deserted and isolated.An Long's betrayal and being betrayed by that unknown person tonight made him fall into the absolute disadvantage of fighting alone, while Yang Xuyan gradually emerged under the influence of each other and replaced him with Shi Zhixuan.

Even if Shi Zhixuan can successfully assassinate Zhao Deyan, the focus of the Demon Sect will shift to Yang Xuyan.Once Yang Xuyan combines the seal of immortality and the martial arts of "The Wisdom Sutra on the Origin of All Laws", Shi Zhixuan will not be easy to deal with Yang Xuyan even if he has the power of one person.

In the final analysis, the reason why Shi Zhixuan fell into such a situation is because he couldn't let go of his father-daughter love for his daughter Shi Qingxuan, and his love for Bi Xiuxin was as deep as the ocean.As he said, Shi Qingxuan was more important in his heart than unifying the magic way and striving for hegemony in the world, so he was unable to fulfill the requirements of the magic sect.

On the first trip to break the problem, he felt pity and kindness for this terrible enemy.

The intimacy comes from Shi Qingxuan's subtle connection.

Xu Ziling sighed softly, and said calmly: "As long as the evil king does not lie dormant before killing Zhao Deyan, all conflicts and conflicts will be avoided between us."

Shi Zhixuan's eyes slowly swept across Shen Mu and Hou Xibai, and finally landed on Xu Ziling, and said with a calm expression, "You may not believe me if I say it, but I have a very bad habit of destroying what I can't get And not to take advantage of others. Shi has lost all hostility towards the young marshal now, let alone Ziling. If you are willing to cooperate with me, it will be beneficial to you and harmless."

Shen Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Our plan is very simple. We want to lure Xianggui and Xiangyushan out. When the time comes, we will kill without mercy. The bait is Situ Furong's money business. Otherwise, if the news leaks, Xianggui and his son will slip away." Yaoyao, with their financial power and tricks, the world is so big, where can we find them? If we let them escape beyond the Great Wall, we will be beyond our reach. I have made a frank disclosure, and I don’t know whether the plan to assassinate Zhao Deyan is true or not. Still proceeding according to our earlier agreement."

Shi Zhixuan showed a ruthless smile, and said: "Of course, besides this, I also want to destroy all the power of the Li family, and see how the world will be in chaos! You can leave temporarily, but Xi Baixu will stay , I have something to tell Xi Bai, and I will spend a few days teaching him some martial arts."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling once again felt the helplessness of being led by Shi Zhixuan, and looked at Hou Xibai together.

Hou Xibai felt that he was Shi Zhixuan's only relative in the vast crowd, nodded and said: "I obey!"

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling left Shi Zhixuan's new lair and came to talk in the dark place in the forest area beside Caoqu. At this time, there were still two hours before dawn, and the wind and snow were getting stronger, changing from drifting snow to balls of snowflakes, and the world was confused.

Shen Mu said in a deep voice: "I have a very ominous feeling, Shi Zhixuan may see through that it's as simple as we came here to assassinate Li Shimin, what do you think?"

Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said, "I've always been worried about this. The biggest problem is that this is not our usual way of doing things. If we want to fight, we simply decide the outcome on the battlefield. Sigh! What should we do?"

Shen Mu said: "Before assassinating Zhao Deyan, he will never expose us, because we are still valuable. After Zhao Deyan dies, it is difficult for the gods to guess how Lao Shi will fix us. The only way is to kill him first, and it will be over once and for all."

Xu Ziling resolutely said: "Let's do it like this!"

Shen Mu stared at him, and sighed for a long time: "But how do you explain to Shi Qingxuan? After all, he is her real father."

Xu Ziling sighed: "For the sake of the overall situation, what is personal sacrifice? Whoever is ruthless can survive. This sentence is still our golden rule today."

Shen Mu said: "Then let's deal with it in this way for the time being. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can win a hundred battles. Chang'an has become a cruel battlefield. We must have any information we can gather. Master Ling, go to Feng Deyi and ask him to try to figure out where Li Yuan came from." And if we know Laoshi's hiding place, then we will know who betrayed Laoshi."

Xu Ziling said, "Why don't you go with me?"

Shen Mu said: "I went to Hechanglong in the West City to try my luck, the wind and snow are so heavy, I have a great chance to sneak in and find out the situation."

Xu Ziling put on the hood, patted him on the shoulder, and left.

Shen Mu stood still for a moment, getting distracted thoughts out of his mind, left the canal bank, climbed over the wall of the West Market, went up and down a few times, and came to the roof of the shop across the street from Hechanglong. There was a slight sound of the wind, and Shen Mu groaned in a bad mood. Looking back, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It was Ba Fenghan who came, he squatted down next to him, pulled off his hood, showed a dignified expression, and said in a deep voice: "Chi Shengchun just went in, when he comes out, we will kill him."

Shen Mu was taken aback and puzzled, and said in astonishment: "The original plan should not be like this."

Ba Fenghan said calmly: "We have no choice. After Chi Sheng's spring banquet, he went to Liufu first for a walk, and then drove to Guangfuli, Zhuque Street, to meet a big businessman named You Baisan. You Baisan The third is where is the sacred place? It was a traveling merchant from Pingyao who had seen the real Situ Furong once. Chi Shengchun is planning to take him to see our Lord Furong tomorrow morning, this tortoise really thinks Absolutely, if I hadn’t seen him and went home, I would have taken his life long ago, Xianggui might be hiding in Hechanglong now.”

Shen Mu's heart sank, and he said with a headache: "Is there any other good way?"

Ba Fenghan smiled wryly: "Another way is to kill You Baisan who caused trouble, but this will only make Chi Shengchun, who is still suspicious, even more suspicious."

Shen Mu pondered and said: "You Baisan has only seen the true Furong Lord once, and our fake Furong Lord is pretended by the portrait provided by Ou Liangcai. The true Furong Lord never likes to talk too much. Master Rong's voice and intonation were all adjusted by Ou Liangcai himself, maybe he could still get away with it. Sigh! But you are right, the other Shen Wenjiang stewards will be full of flaws when they look at it, so it is better to kill Chi Shengchun simply and neatly. Damn it! How could it suddenly become like this. Also, if the ignorant You Baisan talked about the past, but our Lord Furong forgot all about it, he would definitely make a fool of himself on the spot."

Ba Fenghan cheered up, and said: "There is no problem with this. The problem is whether our Master Fu Rong has a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Pingyao's personnel affairs, and he is not afraid of being asked."

Shen Mu was puzzled and said, "Why is there no problem?"

Ba Fenghan smiled and said: "The young commander is really forgetful. Do you still remember my unique method of forcing a confession against Guan Ping in Longquan? Afterwards, not only did he forget everything, but he was also top-heavy, and his little head couldn't function normally."

Shen Mu said happily: "Remember! Of course I remember."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling pretended to be devout pilgrims who prayed for God, and found the presiding master Huangshan through the transmission. They were led to an independent and deep meditation room in the backyard, and saw Master Liaokong who was sitting quietly and meditating.

Shen Mu quietly sat down on the futon, opened his eyes for a while, and said with a smile, "You guys are finally here! Is everything going well?"

Shen Mu briefly reported the situation, let Kong Kong understand the whole situation, and then said: "The most difficult thing to deal with now is Shi Zhixuan, because of the complicated relationship between Xiaoling and him, we can't help but put him to death. The only way to go."

Liao Kong's eyes flashed with wisdom full of Zen, nodded and said: "This method is definitely not a good method. With the current skills of the two benefactors, even if they fight alone, they can fight against him. But if you want to let him At the point of death, even with the addition of the old monk, I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill my wish."

Xu Ziling said: "Before the assassination of Zhao Deyan, it was not easy to hide the truth from Shi Zhixuan. After the assassination, with his intelligence, he will definitely be able to see through our secrets from clues. Then the consequences will be unpredictable."

Liaokong whispered a Buddha's name, and said: "There is only one person who can change Shi Zhixuan, you should know who I am referring to?"

Xu Ziling was startled and said, "Qingxuan!"

Shen Mu frowned and said, "Xiaoling doesn't want Qingxuan to get involved in this matter, for fear that she will make trouble."

After a while, he shouted the Buddha's horn again, and said softly: "Please put aside the matter of dealing with Shi Zhixuan for the time being, Feixuan will arrive in Chang'an within ten days, and she may bring a solution."

Then close your eyes, put your hands together and salute.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling returned the salute to the virtuous holy monk and left quietly.

Shen Mu pushed the door open and entered, Shen Luoyan reclined leisurely on the couch, concentrating on reading the scroll in his hand, sat up in fright, and said angrily, "Why didn't you send the signal first, do you want to scare people to death?"

Shen Mu sat down on the chair on the other side indifferently, and said with a smile: "Is it unnecessary? The security guards in your general's mansion are useless. As long as you know a little bit of light work, you can enter the land of no one, and you don't even see a maidservant." .” He tore off the mask.

Shen Luoyan said unhappily: "To make it easier for you, Uncle Kou, to meet your first love, I sent some people to work, and others were transferred to the front yard to wait for orders. They are very kind, and you still mocked my lack of defense."

Shen Mu nodded and said: "No sword is better than having a sword, or it may be said that the imaginary is the real."

Shen Luoyan smiled and said: "Why did the young commander lose his mind? He was full of nonsense. Although there are not many generals in charge of guarding this small residence, they are all good soldiers who have followed me since the Wagang Army era. They are loyal, martial arts, and experienced. No problem, you can rest assured."

After saying that, Yingying stood up, and said: "Time is not far away! You wait here obediently, don't rush around. Remember not to touch Li Xiuning under any circumstances, otherwise I will become a sinner."

Shen Mu said dejectedly: "Am I such a person who has no self-control? At least until today, I haven't had any affair with the beauty military division."

Shen Luoyan's pretty face flushed slightly, and she cursed "shameless" in a low voice, and her willow waist was swayed.

Shen Mu stood up and watched Shen Luoyan's beautiful back through the window as she walked through the corridor in the garden. When she first met Li Xiuning, she held the moving scene of holding a dagger to her throat.

Shen Mu looked at Li Xiuning who hadn't seen him for a long time through the window. Accompanied by Shen Luoyan, he walked towards the study through the veranda in the middle garden. Let go of her every move.

The veranda is full of snow, and the trees are frozen and hanging. In this snow-white and pure courtyard, Li Xiuning wears her hair in a black bun, a narrow-sleeved pink jacket, a plain green short cotton skirt, white trousers, and colorful national flower brocade rusty shoes. It also brings out her elegance, nobility and grace.Although her beautiful and beautiful appearance has a haggard look that can't be concealed, it shows her charming and charming appearance, which makes me feel pitiful.

Shen Luoyan appeared in front of him again, and immediately left in the opposite direction. Shen Mu felt that he lost the courage to turn around and face Li Xiuning.

The sound of footsteps was soft, and Li Xiuning's voice sounded behind him, sighing: "Xiu Ning really doesn't understand why the young commander has developed into the current situation, why he still has to put aside military affairs, venture to Chang'an, and even meet Xiu Ning, don't you be afraid Did Xiuning report on you?"

With grief in his heart, Shen Mu swallowed hard and said, "Then have thousands of troops been deployed outside to surround this place heavily?"
