The east was white, the sky was just dawn, and the drooping clouds finally dissipated, and a blue sky appeared. But the bitter cold wind was still raging, and the sobs and howling sounds were endless.

After taking the medicine, Hu Xiaotian had been recuperating for a night, and his physical condition was extremely strong, and his internal injuries had healed a lot. He put on his clothes and got out of the bed. He accidentally caught a glimpse of someone wandering outside the window. He was stunned and said, "Who is outside the door? Come in!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yuqing pushed the door and looked at him happily, and said with a smile: "You are awake! You look very good today, and it seems that you are recovering very quickly. I have asked the chef to make ginseng soup and I will give you some replenishment later." She was wearing a pure white dress and a fox fur cloak with an outer fox fur cloak, as if she was a stunning beauty carved from white jade, graceful and gentle.

Hu Xiaotian looked at her face that was flushed by the wind, and felt moved and said softly: "How long have you been waiting for me outside? Why don't you wake me up? What if you get sick from freezing, wouldn't I be the culprit?"

Su Yuqing's eyes drooped slightly and she whispered: "I'm worried about your injury and tossing and turning, so I just came to visit you early in the morning. The doctor told me that you need to take a good rest, so I didn't wake you up after coming." Although the words were ordinary, they contained infinite affection.

Hu Xiaotian was heartbroken and couldn't help holding her cold little hand, stuffing it into his arms without saying a word, and said sadly: "Why don't you cherish your body? Your hands are as cold as ice. If you are blown by the north wind for half an hour, you will definitely get sick from the cold. Don't do such stupid things in the future, do you know?"

Su Yuqing looked up at him, her eyes were tender as water, and suddenly she smiled brightly, like spring flowers blooming, and her heart was filled with joy.

Hu Xiaotian was puzzled: "What are you laughing at? You must correct your mistakes, and you are not allowed to make them again!"

Su Yuqing said that he had never heard of his lesson. He gently leaned on his broad chest and said in a dream: "I smile because you care about me, care about me, and pity me. I am sincerely happy! Xiaotian, do you know? I am actually afraid that you don't have me in your heart, and treat me as a frivolous and casual woman. You don't cherish me at all, and you don't regret it. I know very well that you are a dragon among people, with great ambitions and will not trap at home for your children's personal love. I can't follow you and travel around the world, nor do I hope to be with you day and night. I just want you to have me in your heart! When we are together, if you can be really good to me, I will never be shaken in my life!"

Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but hug her tightly and whispered in her ear: "You are so beautiful, gentle, understanding, I am not a sarcastic heart, how could you not like you? But why are you so stupid? You know that I can't be with you all the time, but you still have to do this?"

Su Yuqing said slowly: "If the love lasts for a long time, how can you care about day and night!" Hu Xiaotian was the first person to impress her. In order to fight for her own happiness, she had no regrets.

Hu Xiaotian felt mixed feelings. The beauty who had sex with him was so brave and proactive, which really made him unable to resist. His mind moved and he said, "Can I give you a gift?"

Su Yuqing said: "What gift? I don't care about it!"

Hu Xiaotian smiled slightly and said, "Isn't it really rare?" He gently pushed her away, took out a jade bracelet from his arms, and sighed, "I wanted to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, but I didn't know that I would rather not want it. I had to continue to keep it."

Su Yuqing was both ashamed and happy. She stretched out a piece of white pink arm as white as jade and said angrily: "Stingy, will you take back the gift you took? Wear it for me!" The jade bracelet was originally a pair, a token symbolizing the marriage between the two families. Once she wore another jade bracelet, it would be like confirming her relationship with Hu Xiaotian. The sea was gone and the rocks were rotten until death.

Hu Xiaotian was actually in a very complicated mood. On the one hand, he was moved by Su Yuqing's deep affection and began to accept this gentle and beautiful woman in his heart. But on the other hand, he still couldn't forget the other person's voice, appearance, and the deep affection and the years of living and dying. But Yi Wufeng has been missing for more than three years, and the possibility of survival is very slim, and most of them are no longer in the world. He looked at Su Yuqing's delicate and charming face and expectant eyes, and sighed secretly. This girl was innocent and could not hurt her anymore. He immediately held Su Yuqing's smooth and plump arm and gently put the jade bracelet on.

Su Yuqing immediately smiled happily, stretched out her other arm, compared the pattern and color of the two jade bracelets, and smiled and said, "Does it look good?"

Hu Xiaotian sincerely praised: "The skin is as white as fat, and the jade is shining. The two are like picturesque, which is simply beautiful!"

Su Yuqing was drinking honey, and her heart was sweet, and she threw herself into his arms and said with a soft voice: "I can't see it. Sometimes you can make people happy." Hu Xiaotian smiled but didn't say anything, and gently caressed her cloud-like hair. At this time, silence is better than sound.

After the two of them had breakfast, they were just in love with each other, and suddenly a servant came to avenge him. Nangong Qiu asked for a meeting.

"Nangong Qiu?" Su Yuqing frowned slightly and said unhappily: "Is it the Nangong Qiu who is drunk every day? What is he here to do?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "He is the guest I invited. Please!"

Shaoqing, Nangong Qiu walked into the room, stood still and said with a fist, "Nanggong Qiu greeted the young master! I came to the appointment, I wonder if what the young master said yesterday counted?" He changed into a clean black dress, decorated with neat eyes, and could not see any trace of alcoholism. The black long sword was inserted behind him, and although it was not unsheathed, it faintly revealed a few murderous aura. From beginning to end, his eyes were only looking at Hu Xiaotian. Even though the number one beauty in Lanzhou Prefecture sat aside, he didn't even look at him.

Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Do you still remember me?"

Nangong Qiu frowned and said, "You are..."

"Three and a half years ago, in Zhuzhou, Hunan, you assassinated the Yin demon Mu Rourou among the Yin and Yang demons, and saved a young man from the Hengshan Sect..."

"So it's you!" Nangong Qiushi shouted. "You are Hu Qingpeng! Didn't you worship the leader as your teacher and practice in the holy city?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "'Hu Qingpeng' was the name I used to use in Hengshan Sect. Now I have changed the name to 'Hu Xiaotian'! I have practiced in the Holy City for three years and have just achieved martial arts. Now I follow the instructions of the leader to go down the mountain to ban merit and practice. I was rescued by Brother Nangong, and Hu was very grateful."

Nangong Qiu smiled slightly and said, "No wonder the young master suddenly appeared in Lanzhou City! The power struggle for the Divine Cult is getting fiercer, and all forces are busy integrating their troops. The young master Yicheng went down the mountain, and the first step was of course to cultivate his own power to deal with future battles. Among the thirteen elders of the Divine Cult, only Elder Su is a Han Chinese, and he is most likely to form an alliance with the young master! Now the young master and Su Haoran are very close to each other and can live in the Su Mansion. I think he has won the promise and trust of Elder Su. Congratulations to the young master!"

Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Yes, Elder Su has agreed to fully support me in fighting for the throne of the leader. I wonder if Brother Nangong is willing to join my camp?"

Nangong Qiu said calmly: "The four major forces of the Divine Cult are the weakest, and the possibility of success is also slim. The future path will inevitably be difficult and dangerous. If I join, I will have to fight in blood and die for a lifetime. I wonder what benefits can the young master give me?"

Hu Xiaotian's eyes turned cold and he said slowly: "Benefits? I want to ask you, what do you want the most?"

Nangong Qiu asked back: "Do you have the ability to give me what I want?"

Hu Xiaotian said in a deep voice: "I heard that Brother Nangong is a disciple of the Nangong family. Because his wife and daughter were killed by the masters of Baiyun Sect, he turned to our sect and was determined to take revenge. You took Xiang Hu, the "cold-faced Shura" of our sect as your master, and was given the Blood-killing Sword. From then on, you came alone and were determined to kill the disciples of Baiyun Sect. And the tendons on your right arm were also stabbed by the masters of Baiyun Sect, right?"

Nangong Qiu's eyes trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

Hu Xiaotian said coldly: "Brother Nangong has a deep blood feud with Baiyun Sect. Do you know how deep the holiday between me and Baiyun Sect is?"

Nangong Qiu was stunned and said, "In the early years, there were rumors that Elder Yi Wufeng and the young master were in love, but Elder Huoyi was unfortunately harmed by Li Meixian?"

Hu Xiaotian nodded sadly and said with hatred: "That's true! If I cannot avenge my beloved woman in this life, how can I live in this world? Once I have mastered the power of the Divine Cult, I will use all means to completely wipe out the Baiyun Sect! Brother Nangong, you and I actually have a common enemy and have an indelible pain. Joining hands, isn't it hundreds of times better than fighting alone? If you are a bloody man, don't you give me any benefits. Kill all the dog thieves in Baiyun Sect first!" When I was excited, I pulled out the sword and split the seat beside me in half with one sword.

A redness suddenly flashed across Nangong Qiu's pale face, and hatred arose in his eyes. He bent his knees and knelt down, saying word by word: "As long as the young master vows to destroy Baiyun Sect, Nangong Qiu's life will be handed over to the young master! I, Nangong Qiu, swear with the reputation of my ancestors, that I will definitely be loyal to the young master and never be disheartened!"

Hu Xiaotian was overjoyed, returned the sword to the sheath, and said loudly: "With Brother Nangong joining, I will be like a tiger with wings! Please get up quickly, don't be polite!"

Nangong Qiu said seriously: "Young Master, Nangong Qiu will be your subordinate from today. You must never be the title of 'brother'. Please call your subordinate's name directly. There are rules in everything, especially as the commander of the army, you must not surrender your identity and be confused with ordinary people."

Hu Xiaotian disagreed with his proposal, but he was unwilling to refute it immediately. He smiled and said, "I will be responsible for how to deal with the relationship with my subordinates. Let's get up! Don't doubt people, and don't doubt people. I have an important task to hand over to you!"

Nangong Qiu stood up and lowered his hands and said, "Please give me instructions."

Hu Xiaotian said: "I have discussed with Elder Su and Gangmaster Song. I am preparing to select a group of loyal, brave and young people who are ready to die from the Northwest Branch to form an elite army. We will teach them more advanced internal skills and various martial arts skills, and through strict training, they can master invisibility, disguise, tracking, assassination, mechanism and other skills, and eventually become a warrior who is one hundred. You have a clear mind, good at various assassination skills, treat the enemy with ruthlessness, and have rich experience in the martial arts world, so I want you to command and train these young people and teach them all the skills you master. Are you willing to take on this important task?"

Nangong Qiu never dreamed that Hu Xiaotian would arrange himself like this, so that he would jump from a mediocre drunkard to a general holding a heavy army overnight. He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Young Master actually trusts me so much. My subordinates are really flattered. A scholar dies for his confidant, and a woman is willing to devote himself to the great cause of his son and he will die until he dies."

Hu Xiaotian encouraged him a few more words. Just as he was teaching the key points of his left-hand sword technique, he suddenly heard the sound of his foot, Su Haoran and Mo Yu came in a hurry, with a very serious expression. Hu Xiaotian felt nervous and asked, "You look in a hurry. Could it be that something happened?"

Su Haoran looked at Nangong Qiu and frowned and said, "Young Master, we have an emergency report, and outsiders should not be present!"

Hu Xiaotian laughed and said, "Nangong Qiu is not an outsider. From today on, he is the commander of my personal bodyguard and is qualified to participate in all confidential meetings. I hope you can work together sincerely and become close friends. Okay, if you have something to say, it's okay!" Nangong Qiu wriggled, and his eyes were filled with a true look of respect.

Su Haoran and Mo Yu looked at each other and were surprised. Is Nangong Qiu so smart that he can actually be competent for the commander? Su Haoran shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Young Master, Mo Yu slipped to Zhongxiangyuan to drink and have fun last night. He accidentally heard a news and didn't tell me this morning. If the news is true, we must deal with it in time."

Hu Xiaotian frowned and said, "Zhongxiangyuan? Isn't that a brothel?" While saying that, he winked at Su Yuqing. Su Yuqing's face turned slightly red, she glared at Mo Yu angrily, and got up and went out.

Mo Yu said embarrassedly: "Zhongxiangyuan is the largest brothel in Lanzhou. I was there with Wang Yongpeng, the 'little flower gun' of the Yellow River Gang last night...drinking. I accidentally heard the accompanying drink during the meal... Cough cough, the dancer talked about a strange thing, but he didn't care about it because he was drunk. After waking up this morning, he became more and more wrong, so he quickly came back to report to the young master."

It turned out that starting the night before, Zhongxiangyuan took on a secret business. Every night, five young and beautiful girls were selected and sent to a large mansion in the south of the city. They secretly picked them back in a carriage the next day. Strangely, when these girls returned to Zhongxiangyuan, they seemed to have suffered a serious illness, and everyone was weak and could not accept other guests in the short term. Although they were severely warned in advance that the guests' misfortune were not allowed to be revealed, some people still couldn't help but complain to their close sisters. It turned out that the five of them were actually serving a Hu monk in the Western Regions! The Hu monk was proficient in joy and could control the five girls in one night, and might have used replenishment techniques, which greatly damaged their vitality. Although the reward for a trip was generous, the women in Zhongxiangyuan were now terrified and no one was willing to face the terrible Hu monk.

After hearing this, Hu Xiaotian looked solemn and pondered: "Is this news reliable?"

Mo Yu said: "Absolutely reliable! The dancer who told me about this was a cousin with one of the girls, and she would not lie."

Su Haoran said: "From the timing of the appearance of the monk Hu, he is very suspicious, and it happens to be about the same time as the young master came to Lanzhou. In addition, he is proficient in the refining secret methods, and is generous, hiding in the courtyard of the mansion. He is likely to be the great lama of the Huang Sect, or even the head of the Huang Sect in charge of the operation."

Hu Xiaotian said calmly: "If the Hu monk is indeed a Huang Sect Lama, then Yan Sanniang of Feiyan League is also very suspicious! Feiyan League is known as the most well-informed gang in Lanzhou. There is no reason not to know about this strange thing. Moreover, we made a special trip to visit yesterday and gave a deposit to ask Yan Sanniang for help. She agreed immediately. However, judging from the current situation, Feiyan League either had problems with internal channels or was deliberately concealing it. In my opinion, the latter is more likely! Could it be that the other party also found her and offered a higher price?"

Nangong Qiu said coldly: "Compared with this sect, Feiyan League is not even as good as an ant! If they go back on their word and dare to be enemies with us, it is easy to destroy it."

Mo Yu was shocked and said, "To destroy the Feiyan Alliance? It's not so serious, right?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "What I just said is just my personal guess. Maybe there is another hidden truth. The key is to confirm the identity of the monk Hu. If it is confirmed that he is the Huang Sect Lama, it will not be too late to ask Yan Sanniang to judge after the storm has subsided." He paused and looked at Su Haoran and said: "Haoran, what are your opinions?"

Su Haoran took a deep breath and said, "I agree with the young master's point of view. I will make a conclusion after finding out the identity of the man. If Yan Sanniang is inconsistent and deliberately conceals information, I will be the first to rush to kill her head without the orders of the young master!"

Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Murdering is not the best way to solve the problem! Besides, Yan Sanniang is a celebrity in Lanzhou, and her power is a unique faction. How can she kill her if she says she is killed? Although I don't know her deeply, she is not a person who forgets her righteousness and changes her mind when she sees the wind. There must be some irresistible reasons for doing this. The most urgent task is to report the information you received immediately to Elder Su and ask him to send someone to monitor the head of the Feiyan League, especially Yan Sanniang's movements to see who she has contact with? Second, go to Zhongxiangyuan to find out the news and find out the specific residence and identity of the monk Hu. It is beneficial to us if he has mastered his whereabouts."

Mo Yu scratched his head and said, "Of course I must be the second task. But will the other party be suspicious if he breaks in so blatantly and finds someone?" Zhongxiangyuan is also a member of the Feiyan League. If he goes to find clues with slashes, he may not only not really cooperate, but may even sweep him out.

Hu Xiaotian smiled slightly: "There is a road when the car arrives in front of the mountain, and the boat arrives at the bridge. I have already figured out a solution!"
Chapter completed!
