Beside a large fish pond in the Zen temple, the old monk Tiejian gently held the Buddhist beads in his hand with one palm, while holding a fishing rod in the other palm. His eyes were cloudy and his posture was lazy, like a bird taking a nap in the afternoon.

old cat.

What is surprising is that there is no bait on the fishing rod of the old monk Iron Arrow, but only some weeds tied on it, like weeds pulled up casually from the roadside.

Behind the old monk Iron Arrow, Su Dexiao was holding some weeds in his hands. He bent down and stood silently behind the old monk Iron Arrow, like a guard.

"Tell me, where have you been in the past two months? Why did you still have some sword wounds on your body when you came to see me today? Who did it?"

Although his posture was still so lazy, the tone of Old Monk Iron Arrow's tone became obviously different when he said these words.

Hu Dixiao hesitated, but after a while, he finally decided to speak and said, "Under the orders of Zhijin Si, my disciple led a team of people to a county town in Shangzhou." At this point, Hu Dixiao hesitated again.

"Keep talking"

But the old monk Iron Arrow didn't care so much and replied calmly.

Suddenly he smiled and closed his eyes, taking a long breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Assassinate the eldest son of Prince Zhou, Zhou Buyi."

At this time, the old Iron Arrow monk's eyes suddenly flashed when he heard this. Unfortunately, his back was turned to him when he suddenly smiled, so he didn't see the change in his master's eyes.

Seeing that his master had no reaction, he suddenly smiled and felt relieved, and continued, "In that county, the disciple met Kumu, a disciple of the old man from the Li family, and Ji Wuying, who was enshrined in the royal family, and the disciple fought with Kumu

"Twice"

"How did it end? Did you win?"

The old monk Iron Arrow stretched and changed his posture to continue fishing.

And suddenly he smiled bitterly and said, "The first time we fought, my disciple fought against the bitter tree at close range, but he was completely at a disadvantage."

"This is natural. After all, that old bald donkey is still my Nanli Sword Master. The Ku Mu who taught me also learned some of his tricks. The younger generation may not be able to compete with him. If you lose naturally, then

What about the second time?”

Suddenly he smiled with a bright red face, smacked his lips, and replied, "The second time, my disciple made a sneak attack first. He started with the three-bead arrow, but Kumu dodged it. In the end, my disciple used your five-arrow leaf, master, and cooperated with it."

The team in charge of the Jin Division defeated him..."

"Then, you were injured?" The hand holding the beads suddenly exerted force, and the beads shattered into powder. Only one bead remained intact and fell into the pond.

Suddenly seeing his master acting like this, he quickly knelt down and said in fear, "Disciple, I don't know that Kumu's swordsmanship has reached its peak. Disciple obviously didn't do it when he fought with him for the first time."

Someone with such strength”

"snort!"

The old monk Iron Arrow stood up calmly, turned around and looked at Hu Dixiao lying on the ground angrily, and said angrily, "How do you know? How do you know?"

The old Iron Arrow monk flicked his sleeves, and a strong wind suddenly blew around him.

The bitter tree couldn't bear it. It felt as if someone had punched it hard, and it was knocked flying far away. It wasn't until its body hit an old tree that it fell down.

At this time, he suddenly laughed as if he felt that several bones in his body were broken. He climbed up with great effort and took a few deep breaths, but his eyes towards the old monk Iron Arrow remained unchanged.

Suddenly he smiled and his pupils shrank, he cupped his hands and shouted with all his strength to the old monk Iron Arrow, "It's my disciple's fault. I shouldn't leave the outcome of a victory or defeat to my own stupidity to judge!"

The old monk Iron Arrow's originally glaring and smiling eyes slowly faded away, and finally returned to his original dull and dull gaze. He slowly sat down cross-legged, and stretched out his empty hand towards Hu Dexia.

He said calmly, "Come here and tell me carefully what's going on."

Suddenly he saw that his master had lost his temper and nodded. Regardless of the injuries his body had suffered just that moment, he slowly walked to Old Monk Iron Arrow and slowly told Old Monk Iron Arrow.

With

and the other side

Inside the Imperial City of Jinling City

Qingtan, who was dressed in official uniform, stopped Zhou Dunyi who had just left the court. The two of them walked to a deserted corner of the imperial city. Before Zhou Dunyi could ask, Qingtan spoke first.

"Prince Zhou, have you determined which group of people belong to the group that almost killed my senior brother?"

Zhou Dunyi was originally thinking about why Qingtan called him here. When he heard this, he frowned and replied unhurriedly, "As far as I found out at the beginning, within the past two months, Jinling City has sent businessmen to

The first team of troops from the state was led by the Tianzihao of the Jinyiwei. The order they received at that time was to go to Shangzhou to find the three-legged golden toad for His Majesty. However, according to the reports reported in recent days, they will not arrive in these two days.

It's at the border of Shangzhou, so it shouldn't be them. The other team was led by Hu Dixiao from the Jin Division and was ordered to go to the border of Shangzhou to explore the enemy's military layout. They had returned to Beijing a few days ago."

After hearing this, Qingtan thought for a while, and finally said with some uncertainty, "Then the most likely thing is that they suddenly laughed at what they did?"

Zhou Dunyi nodded, he felt the same way. After all, Jin Yiwei's reports were always delivered directly to the emperor and could not be faked. As the prince of the previous generation, he naturally knew these things clearly.

It seems now

The person most likely to attack my son (senior brother) is probably this one.

Zhou Dunyi and Qingtan both thought so at the same time.

But then, Zhou Dunyi looked at Qingtan and asked with some doubts, "Miss Qingtan, why don't you suspect that it was the action of forces outside Jinling City? You do suspect that it was the order given by people within Jinling City?"

When Qingtan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and finally said something that he was not sure about, "After all, the only ones who know the whereabouts of the Crown Prince and the others are those from Jinling City, right?"

The two of them felt a little uncomfortable listening to these words that were no longer convincing. Zhou Dunyi finally had to sigh helplessly and said, "I'll still send people to various places."

Let’s investigate the forces that have gone to Shangzhou in the past two months. Everything has not been finalized yet, so it is better to be on the safe side.”

Qingtan nodded sheepishly and added, "The person who can seriously injure my senior brother must be a master. This way, the prince can filter out some people when he comes to investigate."

"Um"

After Zhou Dunyi said yes, Qingtan hugged Zhou Dunyi and said, "The little girl is going to teach your majesty the swordsmanship first. Your Majesty, please go first."

In the imperial city, after the two people left, a slightly sinister face appeared from the side. He looked at the figure that had walked away and sneered a few times. A gust of wind blew by. When he looked again, the place was empty.

At this time, in the Zen temple

After listening to Hu Dixiao's words, the old monk Iron Arrow nodded gently, and then looked at Hu Dixiao's eyes with some helplessness.

"You only noticed your battle with Kumu that day, but you forgot one thing. Where did those two corpses come from? Who killed them?"

Without even thinking about it, Su Di smiled and replied, "Of course it was Kumu who killed them. I personally experienced the remaining sword energy on those two people a few days ago. It is definitely Kumu's."

When the old monk Iron Arrow heard this, he immediately laughed, pointed with one finger and said with a smile, "You kid, you are being taken advantage of and you don't even know it. If it weren't for your poor health now, I would have let you suffer again."

That hit."

Without waiting for Hu Dexiao to respond, the old monk Iron Arrow pulled up the fishing rod from the edge of the pond, took out a dead fish from it, pointed at the fish and said to Hu Dexiao, "You kid, just follow

Like the fish in the pond, they are still not smart enough. They only see the appearances in front of them, but they fail to see whether there are some conspiracies behind those appearances. In the end, they are used by others and are still enjoying it without knowing it. You just

Have you ever told me that Kumu looked confused when he saw the two corpses? Hahaha, that old boy is like that. Although outsiders are now afraid of him and afraid of him, have you ever heard what my old boy did?

Don’t you dare to face what happened in your past?”

Suddenly he smiled and nodded, and he naturally understood that the old boy mentioned in his master's words was Nanli Sword Master, the old man who had a sword feud with his master.

Seeing this, Old Monk Iron Arrow smiled and nodded, and continued, "That's right. If others don't know, I don't know. What I hate most in my life is people who dare to do things that I don't dare to do. You think the disciple he accepted, or

Would he change his beliefs for the sake of his most beloved disciple?"

With this sentence, Old Monk Iron Arrow seemed to be asking himself a question. Although he was still smiling in the end, he also said a little lonely, "No, if he did that, he would not be him, nor that person."

The sword master of Nanli is the one who shocks the world with his sword."

Looking at Su Di's smile, he suddenly came to his senses. Old Monk Iron Arrow waved his hand and said, "Go down and think about this matter carefully. Who is taking advantage of it? Don't worry about it being exposed. Over there with Zhou Dunyi and the old boy, I

I will apologize on your behalf.”

"Yes, Master"
