C159 Yin and Yang Conspiracy

Sunset dusk, the lanterns on. It was a street that was not very spacious. There were scattered shops on both sides of the street. Most of the shops had already been closed, and just like this bleak and desolate weather, the business these days wasn't very good.

Rather than waiting at the door and wasting time, it was better to close the door and go home to have a good drink. Therefore, there were not many places with light on this long street. The only place with light was in the depths of the street.

Although this street wasn't wide, it was very long and seemed to have no end in the darkness. Walking on the bluestone slab of the street, he could feel the heaviness of this street's history with every step he took. He raised his head to look at the memorial arch along the street.

There were a total of 144 memorial tablets erected here, so people called them the memorial tablets. The first thing that entered his eyes was the memorial tablets of the top scholar in the early years of Huang Chu. In that year's Gusu City, there were a total of 13 scholars. Apart from the one and only scholar, the rest were all in the top two.

When he reached the fifty-seventh memorial arch, Nalan Kang stopped in his tracks. He saw that the bar next to the memorial arch was lit. This had always been the commoner district, and not many blade artists would appear here. If you want a place to be prosperous, If there were blade artists everywhere in Gusu City. . . No one would be willing to live a peaceful life here to make a living.

Therefore, swordsmen had their own range of activity, and civilians had their own range of activity. Nalan Kang did not bring a knife with him today. He only brought a small box with him. Other than the exquisite appearance, the box had no other special features. When he walked closer to the shop, he found that the shop had already closed.

Why was the light on in a closed hotel when the door was open? There was only one reason. In the corner where the stools had been placed, there was a table that did not have any stools.

Because the bench was still on the floor, there was another person sitting on the bench. This person was holding a wine glass in his left hand and playing with a piece of jade in his right hand. Nalan Kang could tell who this person was at first glance.

Murong Ke stopped the jade in his hand and drank a mouthful of wine. He said, "You finally came?"

"Since we have agreed, I will naturally come. " As he spoke, Nalan Kang had already walked over. The two of them rarely interacted with each other. Today, they were able to gather here. It was a strange thing. Fortunately, there were almost no blade wielders in this place. These two blade wielders who had risen to fame in Gusu City. In this place, they were just ordinary people who used money to buy wine.

Murong Ke glanced at the small box in Nalan Kang's hand, the corner of his mouth slowly raised as he said: "It looks like you keep your word. "

Nalan Kang followed his gaze and looked at the small box. He smiled. "This is also something we have agreed on. " He pushed the small box in front of Murong Ke. Murong Ke did not even look at the small box before putting it away in his arms.

"What is it? Don't you want to look at the things inside?" Nalan Kang seemed a little surprised. Murong Ke did not hesitate at all. "No need. "

"Why no need? Are you not afraid that I will deceive you?" Nalan Kang asked. Murong Ke sneered and pushed a glass of wine over. "I am not afraid. "

The moonlight was very thick, like the deep eyes of a beauty. Nalan Kang nodded and drank the glass of wine. Murong Ke smiled and said, "What is it? Why don't you ask what's in the glass?" Nalan Kang smiled and said, "No need. This is just a cup of wine. "

Murong Ke asked, "Are you not afraid that I will poison this wine?" Nalan Kang shook his head. "I am not afraid. If I am afraid, I will not come today. "

Murong Ke smiled happily. He nodded and sighed. "We really hate to see each other later! Don't worry, as long as this matter is done, you will have your share in the world! "

"To be honest, one million silver is enough to make anyone a duke, but if it is used to deal with the Devil Cult, I still do not have the confidence. " Nalan Kang seemed to doubt Murong Ke's ability.

Murong Ke frowned slightly. "Don't you trust me? As long as your Nalan family can cut off the money of the devil religion, no one will be able to stop us once my side grows stronger. "

Nalan Kang nodded. "Yeah, that's a lot of money. It is enough to recruit soldiers and horses, and it can even be used to rebel. However, he might not be able to deal with Elder Xiao. I can't be more familiar with this person. Other than him, the four Protectors under him are also very powerful. Of course, I have already taken care of one of them today. But the other three aren't easy to deal with either. "

Murong Ke nodded. "Of course I know that. That's why I'm doing my best to gather the martial artists. I've invited all the sect masters who have some prestige in the martial arts world. Most of them are willing to join us. "

Nalan Kang hesitated and said, "I'm not worried about that. However, there's one more person. If we can get rid of this person, then the days of the devil religion will come to an end. "

Murong Ke's eyes widened. "Who is it?" Nalan Kang dipped his finger into the wine and wrote the word 'wind' on the table. Murong Ke took a deep breath and nodded slowly. "I don't think he will help Elder Xiao, right?"

"At first, I thought so too, but now it seems like it would be strange if he doesn't help Elder Xiao!" Nalan Kang said with a bitter smile. Murong Ke couldn't understand, and he looked at Nalan Kang with a questioning gaze. "Why?"

Nalan Kang wrote the word Liu on the table again. He said lightly, "Xiao Nanfeng is Lau Yutang's biological son!" When Murong Ke heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by a huge thunder, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

After a long time, he slowly nodded his head. " I really didn't expect this. I never thought that he would have such a life. It seemed like with the relationship between Lau Yutang and Elder Xiao, Xiao Nanfeng would surely lend Elder Xiao a hand. "

" This is exactly what I'm worried about. One should know that he is someone who even killed Dugu Kuang. How can anyone in this world stop him? What was even more hateful was that he wasn't a martial artist. He's so meticulous. He can analyze problems more than anyone who has read tens of thousands of books. " Nalan Kang sighed.

"Does that mean our biggest obstacle is Xiao Nanfeng?" Murong Ke asked with a smile. Nalan Kang nodded. Murong Ke sighed and said, "If the two of them turn against each other, things will be much easier. "

Nalan Kang widened his eyes. "How is this possible? I don't think we can do anything about the relationship between the two of them. It's impossible!" Murong Ke stopped talking and pointed at Nalan Kang.

Nalan Kang's face turned red with a swoosh. At this time, Murong Ke slowly said, "Since you can turn against him, then. . . Why can't Xiao Nanfeng?"

"I am different. I am because. . . " Nalan Kang was about to explain when Murong Ke interrupted him. "Since it is different, then create the same reason! We have invested so much, it's impossible! Because Xiao Nanfeng gave up just like that! "

Both of them looked at each other. Nalan Kang's eyes were full of melancholy, but Murong Ke's eyes were full of ambition. Nalan Kang finally let out a long breath. "Alright, I have thought of a way. Maybe it will work. "

"It's not a possibility. It's a must. We don't have much time. Every day, we will be in danger. " Murong Ke seemed to have made up his mind. If his plan failed, he would attack Tiger Hill and fulfill his father's last wish.

Cui Yunyun's death had always been a sore spot in Xiao Nanfeng's heart. He never understood why Dugu Ming's cocktail party was poisonous. On this day, the lion-masked man suddenly walked into Xiao Nanfeng's residence.

Xiao Nanfeng was a little surprised. After all, he did not have any relationship with the lion-masked man. The lion-masked man sized up Xiao Nanfeng's house. Other than the strong smell of wine, there was nothing else.

The lion-masked man found a place to sit down and said, "You must be curious why I came. " Xiao Nanfeng stared at him for a while. Then he said lightly, "It doesn't matter who comes. I have nothing else to serve you except wine. "

The lion-masked man lightly laughed twice: "I heard you were married, he said. You had a wife?" Xiao Nanfeng's expression suddenly changed. His words were like needles stabbing into the softest part of his heart.

That's right, he was indeed married and had a wife. But he was only married for a few days and had a wife for a few days! No matter who it was, that peaceful period of time could not be erased. Xiao Nanfeng looked at the lion-masked man with suspicion. He felt that this lion-masked man was an old acquaintance.

However, he did not have any interactions with the lion-masked man, so it was impossible for him to be an old acquaintance. The lion-masked man continued, "I heard that your wife was killed by someone. "

Xiao Nanfeng suddenly stood up. He didn't know what he was going to do, but after hearing this, his heart was in turmoil, as if there was an infinite amount of anger that needed to be unleashed. Slowly, he finally sat down. After all, this was one of the four great guardians of the Devil Cult. No matter who it was, they had to give him some face.

"This seems to have nothing to do with you. " Xiao Nanfeng's voice became even colder. He took a sip of wine and seemed to recall the events of the past. Everything was still vivid in his mind. He thought of the vow he made with Yunyun under the moon and the scene of Yunyun giving him to Dugu Ming before she left.

However, the lion-masked man's expression did not change in the slightest. He only took out something from his sleeve. It was a piece of paper. There were some formulas written on the paper. He said lightly, "Prepare the medicine according to this formula. That kind of poison can be produced. I think you know very well about the condition of the poison, right? If I'm not wrong, the person who was poisoned must have been paralyzed at first. After that, his nose bled, and before he died, he returned to normal. After that, all the bones in his body will be cracked, and he will die of pain in the end. "

Xiao Nanfeng could not help but tremble. The moment he received the prescription, his eyes had already become moist. Tears fell on the paper one by one. Yunyun's symptoms were exactly the same as what the lion-masked man had described.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Nanfeng had already pulled out a long saber from his side and swung it out. No one saw how he swung the saber. The saber flashed and the blade was already close to his throat. Xiao Nanfeng's blade was the throat of the lion-masked man.

The lion-masked man chuckled. "Do you think I poisoned you?" Xiao Nanfeng said coldly. "How else do you know so clearly?"

The lion-masked man let out a long sigh. "I have always said that you, Xiao Nanfeng, are extremely smart. It seems like you are really an idiot today!" Xiao Nanfeng was stunned for a moment. He said coldly, "Then today, it will be me, this idiot, who will take your life!"

As he spoke, the blade had already pressed down on his throat. The lion-masked man's heart was beating fast because the blood was slowly dripping down from his throat. However, he did not say another word.

"Don't you want to defend yourself?" Xiao Nanfeng asked with some doubt. The lion-masked man only smiled bitterly. It was a bitter smile that he had never seen before. It was a bitter smile that was filled with disappointment.

Xiao Nanfeng slowly put down the knife in his hand and said faintly, "I will give you a chance to explain. " The lion-masked man shook his head. "If you think I did it. . . You should know that. . . For someone like me, no matter what I do, it's possible. But don't forget one thing, people like us. . . Nothing is decided by oneself. "

Xiao Nanfeng relaxed. He looked at the content of the paper again. He seemed to have seen the words before. Xiao Nanfeng was shocked. Wasn't this Elder Xiao's handwriting?

Only someone at Elder Xiao's age could write such a sensational handwriting. Xiao Nanfeng kept shaking his head. "Impossible, this is impossible. Why did he do this?"

The lion-faced man sighed. "Everyone has no choice. Maybe he has his own reasons. Return this piece of paper to me. I, I have other uses for it now. "

Xiao Nanfeng looked at him in surprise. "Who else do you want to harm?" The lion-masked man was silent for a long time. "This is not something you should ask. "

Xiao Nanfeng stood up. The knife in his hand approached the lion-masked man again. "If you think you can walk out of this house today, I really admire your brain. "

After smiling bitterly for a while, the lion-masked man nodded. "That's right. Of course, I wouldn't dare to match up to Hero Xiao's martial arts. However, I am carrying with me Elder Xiao's orders! Could it be that you want to go against Elder Xiao? "

Xiao Nanfeng was stunned for a moment. After a long time, the lion-masked man walked out on his own. Xiao Nanfeng shouted, "Wait! Does this person also have something to do with me?"

The lion-masked man sneered. "Perhaps it has something to do with the past, but from now on, it will no longer have anything to do with me. " Xiao Nanfeng was shocked. He flew forward and pressed on the lion-masked man's shoulder. "I, Xiao Nanfeng, do not listen to anyone's orders, so I, Xiao Nanfeng, am not afraid of becoming enemies with anyone. If you don't tell me today, only death awaits you. "

The lion-masked man often sighed. "Then kill me. Besides me, there are three other great guardians who can do that. Anyway, it's not their first time doing that. "

This was the first time Xiao Nanfeng had seen the true malice of the devil religion. This feeling made his abdomen shrink and made him feel like vomiting. "If my guess is correct, you are going to kill Little melon seeds?"

The lion-masked man's facial expression changed. He didn't expect Xiao Nanfeng to be able to guess it so accurately. He sighed and said, "How can you be sure that the person I am going to kill is him?" Xiao Nanfeng smiled bitterly. "I naturally can't be sure who you want to kill, but I can be sure who Elder Xiao wants to kill. "
