Chapter 226: put on a good show

Chapter 226: put on a good show

At midnight in Luoyang, cold stars are in the sky, but there is no bright moon.

There is no one in sight outside the gate of the Guiyi Villa in front of him.

However, the two guards by the door had thick hands and feet, big arms and round waists, and they were holding swords in their hands. When they glanced at Xie Wei with cold eyes, they were full of vigilance, and...

Can't hide the surprise and curiosity.

There are not many people who have seen him in the Tianjiao, and even fewer people who have seen him and know that he is the legendary "Dujun Mountain Man".

However, rumors about him these days are spreading everywhere.

It is said that it was Mr. Gongyi's death, there are many doubts; this person not only apostate, but also revenge, and had a quarrel with the leader; this trip to Luoyang is that the leader will finally show his power and come out to deal with him .

But who would have thought that the legendary Mr. Du Jun would be like this?

She is dressed in a plain Taoist robe, although she has a bit of a dusty look, but there is a kind of calm indifference in her ink-painted eyebrows and eyes. Even though he came alone, he didn't show any fear.

More importantly, he wasn't some bad old man...

Compared with the Gongyi Cheng they saw often, Xie Ju'an was so young that they couldn't believe it.

It's just that the Taoist boy who went in to report the news soon came out.

When you get to the door, you are still respectful.

He actually bowed to Xie Wei, but it was a bit of a smirk, and said: "The teacher and the second girl Jiang have been waiting together for a long time, sir, please come in."

The streets were empty and silent, the blow came from the deserted streets, brushed past Xie Wei's clothes, swaying.

But he remained calm.

He didn't say much, his eyes were closed, he showed no fear at all, he didn't look like an unlucky ghost who was restrained by others or was about to become a prisoner, on the contrary, he had a kind of calm and calm, as if entering his own house, following the boy from the door Nei walked in.

During the more than 20 years in Tianjiao, he seldom used the word "Xie Wei" to issue orders and make suggestions, but instead used the title "Dujunshanren" so that when he sneaked into the court in the future, he would "Xie Wei". The name "Danger" is still clean, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the court and reveal too many lies.

So I seldom go to each sub-rudder.

He is not familiar with the sub-rudder in Luoyang. When he followed Daotong all the way, he looked around calmly, and finally turned around to a courtyard in the villa.

A bright lantern was held outside, and under the lantern, there was a dense mass of people from the Tianjiao sect.

Only Dao Tong said: "Mr. Du Jun is here."

At that moment, everyone's eyes turned and fell on him. Immediately, the surrounding people slowly separated like a tide, making way for him, but their eyes followed him all the way, staring at him.

Thank you for turning a blind eye.

He didn't even look at the congregation, and walked straight into the courtyard through the separate road, and then saw the open door inside.

Wan Xiuzi went to great lengths to capture Jiang Xuening because he felt that Du Jun was very special to this woman and felt that he was a godsend, or he was afraid that he could catch his weakness.

It's just a guess from beginning to end.

If Xie Ju'an, after receiving the letter he left, ignored the woman's life and did not come here today, he would not be surprised at all. So, when he heard that Xie Wei was coming, and saw him walk in from the outside, Wan Xiuzi, who was sitting on the chair, unconsciously shook the hand that was pinching the young woman's shoulder, and couldn't help being very surprised. uplifting.

The young woman didn't expect it, and let out a soft cry of pain.

However, Wan Xiuzi had already pushed her away, his eyes were shining brightly, and with a bit of chill, he quickly locked on to Xie Wei, and laughed: "Okay, how courageous! You really dare to come!"

Xie Wei stood there, never paying respects.

He didn't even look at Wan Xiuzi first, but at Jiang Xuening.

Ever since she heard Dao Tong come to report that Xie Ju'an had come, her heart sank; seeing Xie Wei walk in now, she felt her heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

Jiang Xuening was also tied to a column.

She had been drugged for the past few days on the road, and was woken up by a ladle of water not long ago. Her face looked a little pale and haggard, and some drops of wet water rolled down her cheeks. A pair of jet-black eyes looked at him, and the light flickered slightly, as if there was a lot to say, but it was all hidden in the silence.

Xie Ju'an has thought about it countless times these days, what it would be like to meet her in the Luoyang sub-helm.

In the current situation, he should control himself.

So after thinking through all the scenarios, even the worst scenario, he thought that when he saw Jiang Xuening again, he would be as calm as water, without revealing any flaws. What's more, the situation is far from as bad as I thought. However, just this one glance at Ai Ai, with a sadness as light as tobacco shreds, hit his heart hard, making him almost lose control at this moment, revealing the hostility and murderous intent buried deep in his heart.

Wan Xiuzi looked at him with great interest, and said, "It seems that you really care about this little girl?"

Only then did Xie Wei turn his eyes away.

As long as he glanced at the wronged and disheveled young woman at Wan Xiuzi's feet, he knew that nothing good happened in this room just now, and when he thought of Jiang Xuening watching in this room just now, the frost in his eyes The coldness became a little bit worse, but he said: "How dare you not come to summon the leader? It's just that Jiang Xuening is the daughter of a colleague in the court. She once saved my life. In terms of emotion and reason, I should not be implicated. It doesn't matter. It's just an outsider, and she's not the daughter that Jiang Boyou's family values ​​very much, so I'm afraid it won't be of much use."

This is to disengage the relationship with her.

only…

Suspicion suddenly arose in Jiang Xuening's heart, and for some unknown reason, seeing him calmly answering Wan Xiuzi, she inexplicably felt that she had settled down a lot: Xie Ju'an is a person who bears a **** vendetta, and he hasn't avenged it yet, so he shouldn't really put himself in the For the danger of being unable to turn over, one should be prepared. Just a few words to clarify the relationship are worth pondering.

Sure enough, Jiang Xuening could think of it, and so could Wan Xiuzi.

How could he believe such nonsense?

Immediately, he smiled coldly, and said mercilessly: "You are flourishing in Xinzhou, and the momentum is just right. You came to Luoyang for a 'no use value' and 'insignificant outsider'. Clearing the relationship, don’t you feel like trying to cover up? I still know who you are. If you dare to come alone, you must have thought about how I will deal with you. You have seen the methods used by the church to deal with traitors with your own eyes. .”

Xie Wei didn't speak.

Wan Xiuzi stared at him, with a bit of viciousness in his eyes: "I was the one who saved your life back then, and saved your life from being killed by King Pingnan. People say that the kindness of a drop of water is like a spring." Repay. You are good! The careful cultivation of this seat over the years has actually caused a great disaster for myself. Repaying kindness and revenge, you are worthy of being Xiao Yuan's son, and you are in the same line!"

Jiang Xuening's heart skipped a beat.

Xie Wei's face lost all expression, he looked up at Wan Xiuzi, and clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves for a moment.

Yet he is not one to be provoked.

Faced with such an aggressive general, he just said: "You saved me only to save a good move, so that the royal family and the Xiao family will look good in the future. That being the case, for so many years, I have been mediating for you in the court and ventilating the sect. If you report the letter, you have already paid it off. It is a combination of profit and no debt, so what kindness is there to avenge?"

Wan Xiuzi flew into a rage, slapped the armrest of the chair, stood up suddenly, raised his finger and pointed at his nose, and cursed: "You don't owe anything! If you have worked hard all these years, you will do your best for my heavenly religion. But you treat me as a blind man if I don’t ask about the affairs of the church? Is there anything I don’t know about the things you do secretly? It’s for the church in the open, but for yourself in secret! Since I went to the capital, how have the northern branches ever Put me, the leader of the sect, in your eyes? Everyone has become your lackey! In your eyes, do you still have me as the leader of the sect, and do you have a foster father like me?!"

When he was young, Xie Ju'an was truly an amazing talent.

Who can compare with him in the Heavenly Religion?

When Wan Xiuzi returned to Jinling with this **** and feuding child, he never thought that he would have such great abilities; seeing that he was extremely intelligent and thoughtful, he just thought it was a great help from Tianjiao. He was kind everywhere, and even asked him to assist in educational affairs, sitting on an equal footing with Gongyicheng, hoping that the other party would obey him because of this; unexpectedly, he was a big-minded person, and he could not make mistakes on the surface, but he was ambitious in secret, and gradually grew into a behemoth. Even when he weighed it, he had to be afraid of three points!

The person who thought he could control and worked hard for him turned into a sharp knife hanging around his neck in the blink of an eye. Who can endure such hatred?

Wan Xiuzi hated him extremely.

It's just that now that Gongyicheng is gone first, and then Xie Ju'an is gone, Tianjiao's people's hearts are unavoidable, and rebellion is not a simple matter. He is old, no matter how much he values ​​health preservation, he will not be as grand as before. Gradually feel haggard.

In contrast, he hated Xie Wei even more.

What he said was full of anger, and there was a kind of condescending and awe-inspiring questioning.

However, the word "benevolent father" fell into Xie Wei's ears, and it only aroused the violent anger in his heart, and even thought of the **** palace and the mountain of corpses, the feeling that was deeply rooted in his limbs and bones The nausea rose.

Of course he laughed.

He reminded indifferently: "The leader forgot. More than 20 years ago, Xie Wei gave up his old name and surname. If you have a mother but no father, you will die if you have a father. Your adopted son, surnamed Xiao, is named Dingfei, and now the capital enjoys all the benefits." Wealthy."

Who doesn't know the name of Ding Fei's son, who doesn't know it?

The congregation feel sorry for each other when they think of it.

At this moment, a few Taoist boys seemed to recall the demeanor of the incarnate demon king. They couldn't help shivering and lowered their heads.

Hearing these words, Wan Xiuzi almost spit blood to his head, dizzy!

That damned Xiao Dingfei has been ignorant and incompetent all these years, how much trouble he has caused for himself, and how much trouble he has caused for Tianjiao!

He suddenly came to his senses: "You picked this **** on purpose! Well, it's very good!"

Xie Wei didn't deny it, but said: "I have come as promised, if the leader wants to judge the crime, he can do whatever he wants. Jiang Xuening, you have been imprisoned for several days, should you let him go now?"

Wan Xiuzi looked at Jiang Xuening: "What's the hurry?"

He smiled coldly, and even raised his hand to signal the Taoist boy next to him: "Come here, my Tianjiao is not a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, so I invite her to hang around here for a few days, and accompany the poor Taoist to read scriptures and play chess to relieve boredom." That's good too!"

The Taoist boys stepped forward.

Jiang Xuening was terrified, although she knew that the old man was threatening Xie Ju'an with herself, but seeing Dao Tong walking towards her, she couldn't help feeling horrified, and finally couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, and cursed out.

He just gritted his teeth and said: "The old demon said something straight. He stood and talked for a long time without asking anyone to beat up the surname Xie. I don't think he is threatened by you, but you have something to ask him! What a big tortoise! ​​You dare to ask people to touch your feet, my aunt has a bad temper, and she accidentally bites her tongue and kills herself, let's see what you use as a bargaining chip!"

Wan Xiuzi didn't expect to be exposed by this girl's words, and his face was covered with black air.

The Taoist boys went up to gag her.

Xie Wei's figure finally swayed, but he held back and said coldly, "Don't touch her!"

These Taoist boys are all serving by Wan Xiuzi's side, and the outside congregants don't know how to thank the danger, but they are very clear. Hearing this voice, they almost shivered from the cold, and subconsciously stopped, looking Xiang Wanxiu.

Wanxiuzi raised his eyebrows.

He smiled with satisfaction: "Did you feel distressed?"

Xie Wei didn't answer, but said: "I killed Gong Yi Cheng."

His voice is calm.

So much so that at first hearing, I thought he was talking about something ordinary.

However, when everyone slowed down and finally realized what he said, they felt that a thunderbolt had been thrown from the flat ground, making people dizzy and dizzy. They couldn't believe what he said!

Even Wan Xiuzi was stunned for a moment, and then recalled the Tongzhou battle that happened two years ago, and he couldn't help feeling chills in his heart, which was accompanied by a burst of anger!

His whole body is about to explode!

Gongyicheng is his right-hand man, loyal to him, and even the key to his restraint and Xie Wei!

"How dare you admit it!"

Wan Xiuzi's voice was almost squeezed out between his teeth.

"I knew it, I knew it!"

Xie Wei didn't seem to care about the shock caused by his words, but continued to cast thunder: "I have done my best for Tianjiao, which is obvious to all; as soon as Gongyicheng came to the capital, he would point fingers and do not know what is good or bad, so don't blame me Deal with him harshly. After killing this person, all the sub-rudders in the sect from the capital to Zhili fell into my hands. I only pretended to obey the main helm, but in fact it was not my order not to obey. Now you are doing things, from the south In the north, if the congregation in the north cooperates with each other, it will not take long to flatten the imperial city. It's just a coincidence, I guess the leader will not let it go, and left a word, if there is no order from me, he will surrender to the court when the battle starts. The battle is imminent, Even if it is time to settle accounts, it is not at the moment, I believe that with Shen Lang's means, these congregants will be incorporated into the army first, and then the accounts will be settled slowly afterwards."

Wan Xiuzi said: "It's a good plan! In order to fight against me, I even borrowed the power of the imperial court and the dog emperor, but I forgot about the **** feud."

Xie Wei said: "Of course I have the will to stand on my own, but I am not in the position to rely on the breath of my enemies. Originally, I planned to make trouble on my own, but now that I am under the eaves, I have to bow my head. I don't want to threaten the leader, but I just want to exchange for it." The leader released Jiang Xuening. Revenge is the top priority in my mind. It doesn’t make much difference to me whether I raise troops by myself or with the leader. Maps of the imperial court's deployment of troops in nine major cities in Hubei and Anhui provinces, to help me teach and make troubles."

As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

The reason why Wan Xiuzi trusted Xie Wei so much in the early years was because he knew Xie Ju'an's life experience, and also knew how much hatred he had in his heart. Such a person, who was abandoned by his relatives and became a **** of the royal family, would never stand on the side of the imperial court no matter what. And in order to get revenge one day, he must do his best for Tianjiao.

Although he later became bigger, he didn't really do anything to hinder the weakening of Tianjiao.

Even at this moment—

Wan Xiuzi also had sufficient reasons to believe that Xie Wei hated the imperial court deeply and would do anything to achieve his goals. When you can't do things yourself, it is by no means impossible to submit to God's teachings.

The main forces of Tianjiao are all in the south, although Xie Wei secretly developed the church members in the north because Xie Wei entered the court as an official, but after all, they are all in the hands of Xie Ju'an. The death of Gong Yicheng made him, the head teacher, lose control of the north.

Fang's actions now seem to be overwhelming.

But he knew very well that the further north he went, the harder it was to fight, and the two provinces of Hubei and Anhui were even more difficult to crack, but they were very important to Tianjiao. It is Jiangcheng, Hubei, the place where the nine provinces are connected, and it is really a piece of fat.

It would be a lie to say that I am not moved.

It's just that if Jiang Xuening is let go, he will lose the bargaining chip in his hand to threaten Xie Ju'an. Although he still doesn't know how much position this woman occupies in his heart, he can't let go first anyway.

and…

Xie Ju'an came here, and it was not unexpected by Wan Xiuzi. But all of this was as he expected, and things were going well, so he couldn't help being suspicious: He didn't even try, and the army at the Xinzhou border didn't move, what a good situation? Can Xie Ju'an really be willing to let go, to risk himself alone, just because of a woman?

Inside the house, there was silence.

Wan Xiuzi stared at Xie Wei, as if thinking about it.

Jiang Xuening didn't expect this person to come to such a dangerous place alone, with every single word, he was a bit anti-client, and even claimed to cooperate with Tianjiao? Why can't she believe it...

Xie Wei didn't urge him, he waited for Wan Xiuzi to think about it.

After a long while, Wan Xiuzi finally clapped his hands and smiled, and said: "It is said that the hero is sad and beautiful, and you, Xie Ju'an, also have times when you are angry and become a concubine! Not bad. However, this is a big matter, and I still think about it. After all, both of you are here, and everything is going well now, so don’t worry. But you, lovers, met and just talked for a long time with me, a bad old man, which is really not good. "

Jiang Xuening rolled her eyes inwardly.

Wan Xiuzi turned into a good person all of a sudden, he only waved his hands around, signaling everyone to go out, and said to Xie Ju'an: "Du Jun, I don't make things difficult for you, so I wronged you to have a rest with this girl Son, it’s good to talk about it. Wait until tomorrow, and I will give you an answer."

After speaking, he walked out with a smile on his face.

Everyone followed suit.

Although they were asked to stay here to rest for one night, when the last Taoist boy walked out, he didn't show mercy at all and locked the door directly. The congregation in the corridor did not leave either, apparently to prevent the two of them from escaping.

Inside the house, only Xie Juan who was standing in place, and Jiang Xuening who was tied to the column were left.

It wasn't until this time that Jiang Xuening realized that her back was getting cold, and it was when Xie Wei and Wan Xiuzi were coming and going that she broke out in a cold sweat unknowingly.

Now that the person has retreated, the tense energy has also loosened.

If it wasn't for being supported by the rope, she might have weakened completely.

Xie Wei remained silent, walked towards her, and stretched out his hand to help her untie the rope.

Jiang Xuening turned her head to stare at his cold face, she couldn't tell what she felt at this moment, when she calmed down, there was a deep silence that enveloped her, making her eyes sour.

This person really dared to risk himself for her...

"You're crazy," she said.

Xie Ju'an closed his eyes, paused for a moment, and said, "Didn't you know earlier?"

The rope was tied too tightly, and even a slight movement made her wrist ache.

Jiang Xuening laughed, pretending to be relaxed and said: "I still take it as an opportunity to be robbed by the Heavenly Sect. They threaten you. If you don't come, it's useless to keep me. I'll play some dirty tricks later, and tell that old demon again." Let me release some information about Beijing, maybe it’s a blessing in disguise, escape your control, and just get freedom like this? You’re good, Haijiaotianya won’t let me go.”

Now that the two are in jail, she didn't want the atmosphere to be too heavy, so she said this.

However, Xie Wei didn't answer at all.

He untied the knot, but failed to untie it immediately. So at this time, I noticed that my fingers untying the knot were trembling imperceptibly.

Jiang Xuening didn't listen to him for a while, and thought she was angry with him, but when she turned to look at him, her eyes moved down, and she saw Xie Wei's palms that were slowly clenched.

It's just that he didn't say anything.

Still don't talk to each other, and continue to untie the rope.

Jiang Xuening's eyes shifted, she stared at him for a long time, and suddenly said: "Xie Ju'an, I have something I'm curious about."

Xie Wei glanced at her.

Jiang Xuening coughed, then bit her lips, with an expression that she couldn't help but wanted to hold back a smile: "I think you can do it that time. After a long time, you haven't slept with a woman, are you still a baby?"

"..."

At the first moment, Xie Wei didn't react.

However, after realizing what Jiang Xuening said, her face almost darkened quickly.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Xuening finally couldn't hold back her laughter.

She looks like she has finally exposed the shortcomings of people, she has such an unscrupulous and arrogant attitude, it is simply hateful!

The veins on Xie Wei's forehead twitched.

After all, he couldn't hold back, pursed his thin lips, and kicked her directly, signaling her to restrain herself and be more honest.

This foot is actually not light or heavy, and it doesn't hurt.

It's just that Jiang Xuening didn't want to go too far when he saw his murderous expression, so he suppressed a few laughs, and forcibly restrained himself a lot, but the expression on his face still seemed teasing and constricted.

Xie Ju'an then lowered his head again to untie the rope for her.

Only this time, the slight trembling just now disappeared.

He suddenly froze.

Looking at the mottled and criss-crossed strangle marks on Jiang Xuening's wrist, Xie Ju'an recalled her out-of-the-ordinary joke just now. At this moment, after all, he sensed her unspoken thoughtfulness.

What kind of person is Xie Ju'an with a heart like a mirror?

In a flash, he knew that she purposely made such a joke to interrupt and soothe his emotions.

It’s just Ning Er, do you know that it’s not because you’re in a dangerous situation, but because of the lingering fear after seeing you safe and sound...

Xie Wei finally untied the rope that bound her.

Jiang Xuening's hands almost lost all feeling, they were sore and numb, and every movement hurt, and she couldn't help but greet the eighteen generations of Wanxiuzi's ancestors one by one.

Xie Wei lowered his voice and said, "Wait for me here."

Jiang Xuening was startled: "Where do you want to go?"

Xie Wei didn't answer, but looked at the closed window to the north, followed by his footsteps, only looking out through the narrow gap.

Jiang Xuening also became nervous and dared not speak out.

Xie Wei seemed to want to open the window and do something.

However, as soon as he raised his hand, his eyes shifted, he frowned again, turned around and walked back to Jiang Xuening, unexpectedly raised his right thumb, and stroked her lips. The warm fingertips used some strength, as if they wanted to leave some marks on them.

Jiang Xuening was startled at first, then confused.

The corners of my mouth hurt a little.

She couldn't help saying: "What are you doing?"

The soft lips move as soon as the fingertips are pressed. Just using fingers is not as easy to leave marks as he thought. What's more, the moist touch at this moment suddenly awakened the turbulent intensity in his heart.

Fingers rest on the corner of her lips.

Without any warning, Xie Ju'an lowered his head down and gave a subversive kiss. Biting lightly, half pity, half fierce, ravaged her, gasped slightly, and then let her go.

The lips that were originally cherry pink were now filled with a touch of color, and even slightly red and swollen because of his excessiveness.

Jiang Xuening looked at her with wide eyes.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses, raised her hand to touch her upper lip, her anger surged, but she was afraid that the voice would be too loud for outsiders to hear, she gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with you?"

Xie Wei pursed his lips, and the tips of his ears were slightly reddish, but his words seemed frank: "It's a good show."

Jiang Xuening was at a loss.

Xie Wei felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, turned around and went to the window again, asking as he walked, "Did Wan Xiuzi tell you about my past?"

Jiang Xuening was unhappy, feeling that he was baffled.

So he sneered: "I've talked about it, it's quite a lot. It's not about cultivation."

Xie Wei's finger pressing on the window sill suddenly stopped, and he turned to look at her: "Why did you answer him?"

Jiang Xuening subconsciously said, "No reply."

Xie Wei glanced at her: "If he tempts him with cultivation next time, you just say yes."

Jiang Xuening:? ? ? ? ? ? ? !
