Tears are dry. Feng Siniang suddenly jumped up and rushed out: "Let's go." "Where are you going?" "Go to the Golden Phoenix to settle the score." They didn't find Jin Fenghuang, nor Shen Bijun, but they saw Zhou Zhigang and Lian Chengbi. "My wife is sick, very sick, and I'm afraid she won't be able to come out to see guests for two months." Zhou Zhigang's attitude is arrogant and cold. He was also Feng Siniang's servant many years ago, but now he seems to have completely forgotten her. To Huo Ying and Du Yin, he seemed even more contemptuous and disgusted.

He didn't want to hide it either. Lian Chengbi is much gentler, he has always been a gentle and earnest gentleman. He has obviously been carefully groomed. As soon as Shen Bijun returned to him, he had recovered his former style. Although he still looks a little pale and haggard now, his eyes are bright and he is full of confidence. The newly grown short mustache makes him look more mature and stable. Does a woman really have that much influence on a man?But Feng Siniang knew that he was not a man who would be changed by women. "Where's Shen Bijun?" Feng Siniang asked again: "Has she returned?"

"yes." "Is she sick too? Can't come out to see people?" "She's not sick, but she's tired." Lian Chengbi's attitude is still so gentle, even with a smile. "I can't see her now?" "cannot." "When will I be able to see her?" "You better not wait." "why?" Lian Chengbi's smile was apologetic: "Because she said that she doesn't want to see you anymore." Feng Siniang wasn't disappointed, nor was she angry, this answer was within her expectations. She rolled her eyes, and suddenly asked again: "When did you come back?"

Lian Chengbi said: "I came back very early." Feng Siniang said: "Very early? How early?" Lian Chengbi said: "We will be back before dark." Feng Siniang said: "You have been waiting here since you came back?" Lian Chengbi nodded. Feng Siniang said: "You found out that she left again, aren't you in a hurry?" Lian Chengbi smiled, and said lightly: "I know she will come back soon this time." Feng Siniang sneered: "How do you know? Is it because you are right again, we can only find a room full of dead people?" Lian Chengbi looked very surprised, and said, "A room full of dead people? Where is it?"

Feng Siniang said: "You really don't know?" Lian Chengbi shook his head. Feng Siniang said: "Didn't they die at your hands?" Lian Chengbi shut his mouth. He refused to answer the question because he didn't have to answer it. Feng Siniang still didn't give up, and asked again: "Where did you go during the day?" Zhou Zhigang suddenly sneered and said, "Since when did you become a job seeker?" Feng Siniang said coldly: "You can ask about this case even if you are not on a business trip." Zhou Zhigang said, "What case?"

Feng Siniang said: "A murder case." Zhou Zhigang said, "Who killed someone? What kind of people did they kill?" Feng Siniang said: "Being killed is fish eating people, Li Qingfeng, Master Ren, and Brother Xuanyuan." Zhou Zhigang couldn't help being moved, and said, "It's not easy to kill these people at the same time." Feng Siniang said: "It's not easy." Zhou Zhigang said, "Do you suspect that we are murderers?" Feng Siniang said: "Isn't it?" Zhou Zhigang said coldly, "If we were really murderers, you would have died here too."

Feng Siniang was suddenly speechless. ——If they were really murderers, why didn't they kill her too? —Since they have killed so many innocent people, why not kill one more? Lian Chengbi suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, if you think about it, you will understand that we are definitely not murderers." Feng Siniang couldn't help asking: "Why?" Lian Chengbi said: "Because I have no reason to kill them at all." No one will kill for no reason, of course there must be a motive and a reason for killing. Lian Chengbi said: "I know you always think that I want to deal with Xiao Shishilang, and that I have hatred with him."

Feng Siniang admitted. Lian Chengbi said: "It is said that they are also Xiao Shishilang's enemies. I should have joined forces with them to deal with Xiao Shishilang. Why did I kill them instead?" Feng Siniang had nothing to say. If they were really united, it should be Xiao Shishilang who died on the Eight Immortals Boat tonight. She suddenly discovered that this matter was far more mysterious than she had imagined, much more complicated and bizarre. Lian Chengbi smiled and said: "It seems that you are tired too, go to sleep well, and when you wake up tomorrow, maybe you will figure out who is the real murderer."

They are Xiao Shishilang's enemies. They are alive, and it is very bad for Xiao Shishilang. So the only person who had a reason to kill them was Xiao Shishilang. There is no need to even think about this truth, anyone will understand it. Only Feng Siniang didn't understand, so she thought about it. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't understand it, so she couldn't sleep. It was already dawn. The table was piled high with tin cans of wine, most of them empty. Now is not the time to drink, let alone sell wine, this wine shop is willing to open the door to let them in to drink, just because Feng Siniang must drink.

"You wouldn't let us in, so we set fire to your house." Feng Siniang obviously didn't give the shopkeeper many choices. She has never given others many choices, especially when she is in a bad mood. Now she is not only in a bad mood, but also very tired. But she couldn't sleep, so Huo Ying and Du Yin could only sit here with her. Drinking is a very pleasant thing, but unfortunately they don't even feel happy now. Huo Ying was already yawning non-stop. Feng Siniang kept a straight face, and said coldly: "You don't need to yawn, you can leave anytime, I didn't ask you to accompany me."

Huo Ying said with a smile: "I didn't say I was leaving, I didn't say anything." Feng Siniang said: "Why don't you speak?" Huo Ying said: "What do you want me to say?" Feng Siniang said: "Can you say the word cheers?" Huo Ying said: "I will, I offer you a toast, cheers." Sure enough, he leaned his neck back and drank a glass of wine. Feng Siniang couldn't help laughing, and felt a little embarrassed in her heart, these two young men were really kind to her. She drank too. Huo Yingdao: "Xiao Du, why don't you speak, can you say the word cheers?" Du Yin hesitated, and finally raised his glass and said, "Okay, let's have a toast." Feng Siniang laughed like a silver bell and said, "It's fortunate that I met you, otherwise I might have been hit to death by anger." "Who are you mad at?" "A lot of people." Feng Siniang drank another cup: "Except for you, there is hardly a single good person in the world." She was laughing, but her heart was in a mess. So she drank like crazy, trying to forget all of these things, if only for a moment. Her eyes were still bright, but she was drunk. Huo Ying was also drunk, and kept laughing: "Can you say cheers yourself?" Feng Siniang said with a smile: "You pour me wine, and I will do it." Huo Ying said: "OK." He reached out to grab the jug, but he couldn't hold it steady, and the wine in the jug fell on Feng Siniang. "My clothes don't want to drink, and you want to get drunk on them?" She giggled, stood up, and wanted to shake off the wine on her body. Huo Ying also came to help, still muttering apologies, but his hands hit her three acupoints like lightning. His shots are quick and accurate. Feng Siniang wanted to scream, but she couldn't make a sound, her whole body was numb and stiff. Huo Ying raised his head, his eyes were no longer drunk, he stared at the surprised wine shop manager like a blade, and said coldly: "We have never been here before, do you understand?" The shopkeeper nodded, his face was bloodless, and he said in a trembling voice: "This morning, no one came here at all, and I didn't see anything." Huo Ying said: "So you should still be sleeping on the bed now." The shopkeeper didn't say a word, and left immediately, went back to the house and lay down on the bed, covering his head with a quilt. Only then did Huo Ying take a look at Feng Siniang, sighed softly, and said, "You are a beautiful woman, but it's a pity that you like to meddle in other people's business too much." Feng Siniang was speechless. Huo Ying obviously didn't want to listen to her anymore, so he also tapped her acupoints that controlled her voice. Perhaps he was afraid that he would change his mind after listening to her. The door of the liquor store was still closed, this was Feng Siniang's own idea, she didn't want others to disturb her while drinking. When Huo Ying wanted to kill someone, of course no one came to bother him. He has pulled out a short knife from the shaft of his boot. The blade is narrow, thin and sharp. This is the kind of knife that assassins like to use most when killing people. Du Yin was dazed by the side all the time, and suddenly said: "Shall we attack now?" Huo Ying sneered and said, "If you don't act now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future." Du Yin hesitated, but finally made up his mind, and said, "I have never killed anyone before, can you let me this time?" Huo Ying looked at him and said, "Can you do it?" Du Yin gritted his teeth and nodded, and pulled out the same short knife from his boot. Feng Siniang couldn't help showing sadness and disappointment in her eyes. She always thought that Du Yin was a loyal and honest young man, but now she realized that she was wrong. Du Yin avoided her gaze and didn't even dare to look at her. Huo Yingdao: "When you kill, you must look at the person you want to kill, so that you can be accurate. Some people must be killed with a single knife, otherwise you will probably die in his hands." Du Yin said: "I will remember next time." Huo Yingdao: "Killing people is also a kind of knowledge. As long as you can remember my words, you will definitely be a good hand in the future." Unexpectedly, this enthusiastic young man is actually an expert in murder. He smiled, and said again: "This woman is kind to us at last, you'd better give her a good time, aim at the fifth rib on her left side and stab it, there is a fatal vital point, she will never suffer any pain. " Du Yin said: "I know." He walked over slowly, the veins on the back of the hand holding the knife were exposed, but his eyes were full of red threads. Huo Ying smiled and stood by. In his opinion, killing people seemed to be a very interesting thing. Du Yin gritted his teeth and stabbed out suddenly. His shot was also very accurate and very fast, and he pierced Huo Ying's fourth and fifth ribs on his left rib with one stroke. What he killed was not Feng Siniang, but Huo Ying. The smile on Huo Ying's face froze immediately, and his eyes protruded immediately, looking at him in surprise. The protruding eyes were full of surprise, fear and resentment. Du Yin shuddered when he saw him, his hand was already soft, and he let go of the handle of the knife. At this moment, the knife flashed, and the knife in Huo Ying's hand pierced his ribs like lightning. Huo Ying laughed grimly: "What I taught you was a deadly knife, but it's a pity you forgot to pull out the knife. You haven't learned how to kill yet." Du Yin gritted his teeth, and suddenly made a lightning strike, pulling out the knife between his ribs: "Now I have learned everything." Blood arrows sprang out, and Huo Ying's face twisted for a while, as if he wanted to say something. But he didn't even say a word, and he fell down. This is indeed a fatal blow. Du Yin watched him fall, suddenly bent down and coughed non-stop. The cold and hard blade was right between his ribs, but his whole body was already shivering with cold. But he hasn't fallen yet. Because the blade hadn't been pulled out yet - Huo Ying shot with a knife, but was unable to pull out the blade anymore. ——Some people, if you can't kill him with a single knife, are likely to die in his hands. As long as the blade remains in the body, a person will not die. Killing people is a kind of profound knowledge. Du Yin was still coughing non-stop, coughing very badly. Although Huo Ying's knife was not powerful enough, even though it didn't stab his heart, it hurt his lungs. Feng Siniang looked at him...he is indeed a loyal and honest young man. She was not mistaken. Although she did not bleed, tears had flowed down her face. Du Yin finally managed to hold back his coughing, walked over panting, and opened her acupuncture points. But he himself had collapsed on the chair, and he had exhausted even the last bit of strength. Cold sweat as big as soybeans flowed down his face one by one. Feng Siniang tore off a piece of skirt, wet it with cold water from the basin in the corner of the room, put it on his forehead, and said softly: "Fortunately, his knife is neither accurate nor heavy enough, as long as you keep your spirits up, Support for a while, get through this pain, and I will take you to treat your injury." She forced a smile and said, "I know a very good doctor, he will definitely heal your injury." Du Yin also forced a smile. He knew that he couldn't make it through, but he still had a lot to say. Only wine can make him support him, as long as he can support him until he finishes what he wants to say, that's enough. "Give me a glass of wine, I have a bottle of medicine..." The medicine is packed in a very delicate wooden bottle, obviously very expensive, with a small label on it: "Yunnan, Diancang." The wound medicine made by Diancangmen with Yunnan Baiyao is famous all over the world and has always been valued by martial arts. It's a pity that no matter how precious and effective the wound medicine is, it can't cure the truly fatal knife wound. Although Huo Ying was exhausted when he shot, he was indeed an expert in killing. Feng Siniang stomped her feet resentfully: "Why did he do such a thing? Why did he kill me?" Du Yin smiled wryly, "We were going to Wugou Villa to kill you." Feng Siniang was stunned. Only now did she understand why they had been following her and were willing to be her followers. "I really didn't expect that you would come to us by yourself. At that time, I hardly believed that you were really Feng Siniang." "Why didn't you make a move then?" "Huo Ying never does anything he is not sure about." Du Yin said: "So he has never missed a murder." After drinking a glass of wine and swallowing the whole bottle of medicine, his ashen face gradually turned red, "When he was nineteen years old, he was very young. Famous assassin, there are very few people in the 'Tianzong' who can match him." Du Yin said with a wry smile: "This time they asked me to come out with him, just to let me learn from him." "Tianzong." Feng Siniang had never heard of these two words: "The one who told you to kill me is Tianzong?" "yes." Feng Siniang said: "These two words do not sound like the name of a person." "Tianzong is not a single person, but many people. It is a very secret and terrifying organization." Du Yin said with a look of fear in his eyes: "Even I don't know how many people they have." "Could it be that the 'Tianzong' was founded by Xiaoyaohou?" "The patriarch of Tianzong's surname is Tian." Doesn't Xiao Yaohou always like to call himself the Son of Heaven? Feng Siniang's eyes lit up. Now she can at least prove that Xiao Shishilang is not lying. Xiaoyaohou indeed has a terrible secret organization. Hua Ruyu and Ouyang brothers are all members of this organization. After Xiaoyaohou died, who would take his place? Is it Lianchengbi?This is the most important point, Feng Siniang is determined to ask, but she can't put more pressure on Du Yin. She pondered, and decided that she could only ask politely: "Are you also a member of Tianzong?" "Yes I am." "How long have you been in Tianzong?" "Soon, less than ten months." "Is everyone able to join this organization?" "No." Du Yin said: "To join the Tianzong, one must be recommended by a incense master in the Tianzong, and the suzerain's permission must be obtained." "Who is the incense master who recommended you?" "It's my uncle, Xie Tianshi, the head of the Diancang Sect back then." This incident proved that what Xiao Shishilang said was true. Xie Tianshi was indeed a member of this organization, so he was blinded by Xiao Shishilang. It can be seen that what Bingbing said is not false. Feng Siniang finally had some comfort in her heart. After hearing what Lian Chengbi said, even she herself couldn't help doubting Xiao Shishilang, that's why she doubted in her heart. If a person is forced to doubt the person he loves the most, it is really a very painful thing. "Besides Xie Tianshi, how many incense masters are there in the Tianzong?" "I heard that there are thirty-five more, a total of thirty-six Tiangang." "But there is only one suzerain?" "The suzerain is supreme. The thirty-six incense masters and seventy-two deputy incense masters in Tianzong are all directly commanded by him, so they often don't see each other." Feng Siniang barely suppressed her excitement and said, "Have you seen him?" Du Yin said, "I've seen it twice." Feng Siniang's heartbeat immediately accelerated, the secret was finally about to be revealed, her face turned red for no reason. Du Yin said: "The first time was when I was getting started, it was Uncle Xie who took me to meet him." Feng Siniang said: "What about the second time?" Du Yin said: "After Uncle Xie became blind, Lord Huaxiang took over his disciples." Feng Siniang said: "Flowers like jade?" Du Yin nodded. Feng Siniang breathed out, Hua Ruyu was indeed a member of Tianzong. Among the corpses of the Eight Immortals Boat, there were no flowers like jade. Du Yin said: "The second time is that Lord Huaxiang took me to see him." Feng Siniang asked, "Where is it?" Du Yin said: "The Boat of the Eight Immortals." Feng Siniang couldn't help exhaling again. It was like a picture that had been torn to pieces and now finally pieced together. Du Yin said: "Huo Ying deliberately took you to the Eight Immortals Ship, maybe he originally planned to start there." Feng Siniang said: "You don't know what happened there?" Du Yin smiled and said: "I don't know much. In Tianzong, I am just an insignificant person, maybe not as good as the dog raised by the suzerain." He laughed bleakly and bitterly. He was still young, and the most unbearable thing for young people was the contempt and neglect of others, which was even more unbearable than death. Feng Siniang asked again: "Your suzerain raised a dog?" Du Yin said: "Every time I see him, there is a dog following him." Feng Siniang said: "What kind of dog is it?" Du Yin said: "That dog is not big, and it doesn't look fierce, but the suzerain dotes on it very much, every time he says a few words, he will stop and pat it on the head." How can a martial arts hero who leads a group of heroes and kills like grass raise a puppy? Feng Siniang sighed—the most difficult thing to understand in the world is the human heart. Then she asked the most important sentence: "Who is he?" "Who is he?" After asking this sentence, Feng Siniang's heart beat faster. But Du Yin's answer was three disappointing words: "I don't know." Feng Siniang's heart sank again, but she was not completely desperate, and asked again: "Since you have seen his face, don't you even see what he looks like?" "I can't see." Feng Siniang sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Since you are already a member of Tianzong, does he also cover his face when he sees you?" Du Yin said: "Not only is the face covered, but even the hands are wearing double fish skin gloves." Feng Siniang said: "Why doesn't he even let people see his hands? Is it because he is also very special?" Du Yin said: "He is indeed a very strange person, the way he speaks and the way he walks seem to be different from others." Feng Siniang said: "What's the difference?" Du Yin said: "I can't tell, but no matter where I see him, I will definitely recognize him." Feng Siniang's eyes were bright again, and she immediately asked, "Have you seen Lian Chengbi?" Du Yin said: "I have seen it." Feng Siniang said: "Is it Lianchengbi?" Du Yin said: "Absolutely not." Feng Siniang sneered: "Since you haven't even seen what he looks like, how can you be sure that he is definitely not Lian Chengbi?" Du Yin said: "He is a very thin man. Although Lian Chengbi is not a big man, he is much taller than him. This must not be faked." Feng Siniang didn't speak, and was even a little angry. A theory that one thought was infallible was suddenly overthrown, so it was inevitable that she would be a little angry. But of course Du Yin can't be blamed for this. Du Yin's face was more ruddy, and his breathing was normal, but he coughed occasionally. If it wasn't for a knife stuck in his ribs, it would be hard to tell that he was seriously injured, especially his eyes. Even less. His eyes were also shining, even clearer and brighter than usual, because he was looking at Feng Siniang. Feng Siniang forced a smile, and said softly: "No matter what, fortunately, your injury is not serious, and you will recover soon." Du Yin nodded, with a smile on his face, and said, "I hope so too." He was still young, and he didn't want to die. Now death seemed far away from him, and his heart was full of confidence in life. He looked at Feng Siniang obsessively, blushing even more, and suddenly said: "If I can survive this time, after my injury is healed, do you want me to be your follower?" Feng Siniang said: "Of course I want to." Du Yin muttered, summoned up his courage, and said, "Do you want me to be your servant forever?" Feng Siniang nodded, but her heart was tingling. Of course, she could see the young man's feelings for her. He tried his best to save her, not only because he didn't want to endure Tianzong's neglect and contempt for him, but most importantly, maybe because he had fallen for her. Why does he have this emotion?No one knows, no one can explain human emotions. Feng Siniang's tears have not shed yet, just because she has been reluctantly holding back, maybe she is not grieving for this passionate young man, she is grieving for herself, she knows that she is not good to him, even He didn't take him seriously, but he did not hesitate to die for her. What about Xiao Shishilang? She had given everything she had for Xiao Shishilang, so what did she get? ——Love can neither be forced nor exchanged. Love is absolutely without any conditions. Of course she also understands this truth. After seeing Du Yin's feelings for her, she understands even more. But she didn't understand, why does good fortune always play tricks on people like this?Always asking people to fall in love with someone they shouldn't? Although Du Yin is a poor creature tossed by fate, why isn't she herself? Why not Xiao Shishilang?Could it be that he fell in love with someone he shouldn't have loved? Fortunately, Du Yin didn't see what was on her mind. He smiled and closed his eyes, looking happy and satisfied: "We have only met for a day or two, and I know you will never take me to heart, but in the future..." He He smiled and said: "The days to come are still very long, very long..." His voice gradually weakened, so weak that even he could not hear himself. His face suddenly changed from rosy to pale, but the smile still remained on his face. —In any case, he always died with a smile on his face. ——How many people in this world can die with a smile on their face?
