Natural Born Winner: 179. Both good and evil

After Meng Yu rested in the inn all night, he wanted to rush to the house,

A girl who cooks well and has sword skills like that is good to make friends with.

But it turned out to be a mess, the door was closed, and there seemed to be no one inside, and after what happened last night, it was difficult for him to use lightness kung fu to get in.

"It's also because she has something to go out." Jiang Shaotang smiled, and somehow remembered the secret mechanism she asked them to help solve. Meng Yu didn't care about the secret mechanism that she solved last night. Maybe she just happened by chance encountered a problem.

Meng Yu suddenly remembered to ask again, "Who do you think is better in martial arts than the girl with the sword last night?"

Jiang Shaotang smiled, "I haven't tried it before, how do I know?"

He said again, "We are here this time to attend the apprentice reception banquet at Yumen Villa, why don't we visit first?"

Meng Yu shook his head, "It's better to go sooner than later, anyway, it will be the day after tomorrow."

"Let's take a walk around the city first."

Jiang Shaotang nodded and agreed.

At this time, Xiao Han was in Yumen Villa, and found Tao Zhongfang's dormitory again, and operated according to the cracking method found by Meng Yu and Jiang Shaotang. After a slight click, the whole door opened, Inside is a secret room.

Xiao Han walked in and closed the door,

After a long time, after reading the things hidden in the secret room, Xiao Han also confirmed the reason why the bracelet targeted him. There are indeed too many secrets of Tao Zhongfang hidden here.

9526 couldn't help but said angrily, "Tao Zhongfang really deserves to die."

"I didn't expect this bracelet to be quite smart and know how to distinguish between good and evil." Tao Zhongfang has been a hypocrite and a fake hero for many years. Even his daughter, apprentice, close relatives and friends didn't realize it. Huan was able to point him out.

When Xiao Han was about to leave, he suddenly heard a voice from the bedroom outside, that someone had come in, Xiao Han immediately dodged and hid by the side of the door. The door of the secret room is not too thick, and voices can still be heard.

Xiao Han listened carefully, it was Tao Zhongfang and his housekeeper.

Tao Zhongfang is no longer the kindness and kindness he used to be in front of others, and said in a cold voice, "Add this to Jiang Chao's cup at the banquet, and after I accept him as a disciple, you can watch him drink it , do you know?"

The steward replied respectfully, "Yes, owner."

9526 is a little puzzled, "Host, what is Tao Zhongfang trying to do?"

As soon as Xiao Han thought about it, he figured it out. The corners of his lips curled slightly, and he replied in his heart, "If you know, I'm afraid you will hate him even more."

After the butler left, Tao Zhongfang also went out not long after.

Xiao Han just came out of the secret room. Although Tao Zhongfang was alone just now, she didn't think it was a good opportunity to do something.

As for the good opportunity, of course it is the day of the apprentice banquet.

…

The reception banquet at Yumen Mountain Villa was very lively and full of guests, even the chief arrester of the branch of the Six Gates in Central Shu also came.

However, there was a relatively secluded place where no one dared to disturb. There sat a middle-aged swordsman dressed simply, with weather-stained hair between his brows and temples, and a black black iron long sword pinned to his waist.

That is Sang Guiqiu who is known as the Sword God in Shu.

"Except for one-on-one defeating the Demon Sect branch five years ago, Daxia Sang has never come out again. He is kind to my righteous brother." Meng Yu said to his friend at a table far away. Jiang Shaotang said.

However, many martial arts masters, including some young talents from the four great families, specially came to watch the banquet for accepting apprentices in Yumen Villa, most likely to see one of the six most skilled swordsmen in the world, Sang Guiqiu.

Jiang Shaotang said with a smile, "He doesn't like to come out of the mountain, this is something everyone in the world knows."

It’s a sad thing to say. When Sang Guiqiu was young, his swordsmanship was already peerless, and he showed his sharpness. When he competed with Ouyang Chongyun, the first swordsman in Zhujian Villa, he heard that his beloved wife and young son were murdered. The victim was buried in a sea of ​​flames.

In grief and anger, Ouyang Chongyun was severely injured by Jian Qi Po Tian, ​​and then he ran back home, only to see the ruins.

Sang Guiqiu lost his wife and children. Even if he killed his enemy, he would be more sad than heartbroken. His good friend Tao Zhongfang has carefully arranged the funeral of his wife and children, and found the bones in the ruins so that they can be buried.

From then on, Sang Guiqiu and Tao Zhong have become close friends, and Tao Zhongfang's invitation, Sang Guiqiu will never refuse.

Even if the Demon Sect invaded Shu, Tao Zhongfang sent a letter, and invited Sang Guiqiu, who was guarding the tomb of his wife and children, to come to Shu to protect him. The only thing he cares about is his friendship with Tao Zhongfang and his kindness for his wife and children.

Sang Guiqiu sat alone drinking, as if separated from the bustling surroundings, but kept the kindness in his heart.

At this moment, a few more people entered the table, Tao Yingying, and Tao Zhongfang's three apprentices. They had different expressions, some calm, some excited, or indifferent.

Sang Guiqiu looked over unintentionally, and felt that the eyebrows and eyes of one of the handsome young men were somewhat familiar.

…

Xiao Han also came to Yumen Villa,

9526: "Host, are you not going to the banquet?"

Xiao Han said slowly, "Who said I planned to kill him at the apprentice banquet."

He is a villain who pursues fame and fortune. Even if he dies, he hopes to die resoundingly and attract the attention of the world. Then she'll let him finish where no one is watching. She went to the place where Tao Zhongfang is now, sleeping.

After directly knocking out the disciples guarding the villa here, Xiao Han pushed the door and went in,

Tao Zhongqiu, who had put on his fancy clothes, heard the movement and got up, and said with a serious face, "Who are you? Why did you trespass on my Yumen Villa?"

Xiao Han put his hand on the hilt of his sword and said with a smile, "I'm here to take your life."

Tao Zhongqiu's expression was slightly condensed, but he still calmed down, "Girl, I don't know who entrusted you. I advise you to turn around and be right. Maybe you have other difficulties."

Before the words fell, Xiao Han's sword had already stabbed out. It was obviously only a single sword, but it seemed that dozens of swords had been stabbed out, making Tao Zhongqiu unavoidable,

This is the release of sword energy.

Tao Zhongqiu realized that the girl in black came to kill him not because she was bold and youthful, but because she had the ability.

When the sword fell, the desk screen was cut to pieces, and the candlestick curtain was also scattered all over the place by the sword energy. Xiao Han said casually, "My problem is that I can live longer if I kill you. It is worth dying by my sword."

Although Tao Zhongqiu escaped most of the sword energy, he still suffered some injuries. He looked at Xiao Han and said, "If you kill me, my righteous brother Sang Guiqiu will definitely avenge me, even if you chase me Kill you to the ends of the earth. He is in the village, you can't escape."

His palms are already quietly gaining momentum.

The corners of Xiao Han's lips twitched slightly, "Then if he knew that you killed his wife in order to steal his Pi Yi sword art secret book, and also created the illusion of being buried in a sea of ​​flames?"

She paused slightly, then raised her eyebrows and said, "I forgot to say, you stole not only Sang Guiqiu's secret books, but also his son who was only half a month old, Jiang Chao, whom you raised as your apprentice for more than ten years." .”

These words were shocking, but the palm that Tao Zhongfang was planning to startle the guests and Sang Guiqiu hit Xiao Han directly.

Xiao Hanjian, like a net from heaven and earth, blocked this palm, "Your skill is not as good as the rumors outside, on the contrary, it is very powerful."

Does a person who is magnanimous and worthy of the world need to hide his skills? Even his own power needs to use Sang Guiqiu's reputation as a deterrent.

What she just said is just one of the evil things Tao Zhongfang has done in the past twenty years. In the secret room was the blood-stained infant of Sang Guiqiu's youngest son, his swordsmanship cheats, and many other unique secrets, and even the Haoran Sword, the treasure of the Zhengqi School that was destroyed by the Demon Sect many years ago.

This thousand goodness is worth a thousand dollars, Xu is really not wronged.

Tao Zhongfang's expression has become vicious, he is not afraid even if his martial arts are exposed, he is terrified in his heart, how could anyone know this secret, could it be that the people from Tianshuiju found out? Or had someone entered his secret room?

Tao Zhongfang only knew that the person in front of him must die here.

…

Sang Guiqiu doesn't know if it's because he misses his late wife too much, or it's just a coincidence that there are still people in this world who look somewhat similar to his late wife. He didn't suspect anything else. After all, his friend Tao Zhongfang collected the bones in the ruins and buried them himself.

But because of his appearance, Sang Guiqiu became a little closer to Jiang Chao, at least he could say a few words,

Unavoidably aroused the envy of others towards Jiang Chao, such as Ling Jing, "Jiang Chao has actually climbed up to Sang Jianshen, what is he capable of."

He was also upset, just muttering in private.

Eldest disciple Gu Ying is broad-minded and calm, "Maybe Sang Daxia has some fate with the third junior brother."

Ling Jing curled his lips, "But we are learning swords, and Sang Jianshen has already sworn that he will no longer accept disciples. It is useless to have fate."

Here, Sang Guiqiu heard that Jiang Chao's parents had died early, and his heart was touched. When he wanted to say more, someone at the banquet couldn't help asking, "Why don't you see Master Tao?"

Others also had such doubts, and there was gradually commotion at the banquet.

Master has always attached great importance to hospitality etiquette, and never arrives so late, Gu Ying couldn't help but ask the housekeeper, "Master, is something delayed?"

"Here, I'll ask my disciples to ask." Because he was ordered by the owner to stay at the banquet the whole time, the housekeeper didn't dare to leave without authorization, so he only asked a few disciples to go to the courtyard of the village.

Meng Yu and Jiang Shaotang whispered, "Is something wrong?"

But when I think about it, I think it's very unlikely, with Sang Jianshen around, even the Devil's Cult forces wouldn't dare to set foot. Who else would dare to cause trouble in Yumen Villa.

However, after half a breath, several disciples ran over in a panic, "The owner of the village was killed."

All the guests were startled, and immediately got up and rushed over. The fastest among them were the three disciples Sang Guiqiu and Gu Ying.

I saw several mountain villa disciples lying on the ground inside and outside the courtyard. Meng Yu and Jiang Shaotang took the lead to check their breath and pulse. Jiang Shaotang breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard several exclamations from inside the room,

"Father/Master."

When I went in again, I only saw Tao Zhongfang, the owner of Yumen Mountain Villa, was pierced through the throat with a sword, and became a dead man.

The disciples all showed sadness, and Tao Yingying fainted directly in Jiang Chao's arms because of the overstimulation. Sang Guiqiu's eyes were red, and he clenched his sword tightly. The sharp force of the sword on his body made the people around him breathless, "Who killed my brother-in-law."

The chief arrester of the Six Gates stationed in Sichuan, bit the bullet and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Sang, I will do my best to find out who killed Master Tao."

The people who came in made some discoveries. "There seems to be something here?"

Because Xiao Han's swordsmanship is too lethal, there is hardly a complete thing in the house, and of course the hidden secret door is also revealed.

Someone wondered, "Could it be that the murderer is hiding inside?"

"That's right, how could the murderer who killed Master Tao escape so quickly?"

Meng Yu and Jiang Shaotang also saw the secret trap, so they looked so familiar.

The two looked at each other, "..."
