Gu Xiqiao and Xia Fan have no grudges.

But there is no friendship.

He respects Xia Fan, but more so his identity.

If it weren't for this, he would have had a different attitude towards Xia Fan.

Just like when I met Lu Shaoyang in the inn that day, I was just a few simple and polite words, and then there was no intersection.

It was an accident to meet Xia Fan in Wanyang.

At first, he thought the other party was really just coming to Su Yunxiao to verify a problem.

Unfortunately, he did not expect that the people in Zhenwusi would have a lot of trouble and would force him to the court camp.

Although Gu Xiqiao rarely cares about the affairs of the temple.

The question is, how could he, who came from a famous sect, not understand the relationship between the court and the major sects.

Although Huanhua Jiange has always maintained a neutral attitude of ignoring the truth, this is because the situation is still within the controllable range. Once the situation is out of control, it will inevitably drag Jiangge into this muddy water.

After all, all major sects have a tacit understanding of guarding and helping each other.

Often, it moves the whole body with one blow.

If Xia Fan was not there.

No matter who wins and loses this war between the Saviors and the court, they will each swallow their bitter fruit and make a comeback.

But the imperial court's behavior of attracting Xia Fan, an outsider, to join the war this time was obviously beyond the boundaries.

in short.

The court wanted to expand the situation of war between each other.

It's like everyone clearly agreed to fight one-on-one, but you actually pulled foreign players?

Since you can attract foreign players, can't I?

Good single-handed fights will eventually turn into group fights.

Originally, Gu Xiqiao was equivalent to a cheering for the numbers. Once the situation was out of control, the person who made the numbers was forced to take action.

From the standpoint of Huanhua Jiange, this is definitely something that Gu Xiqiao doesn't want to see.

It is enough to explain everything without discussing with Su Yunxiao.

The two are not people on the same boat at all.

However, he failed.

He underestimated Lengyan and overestimated himself.

Now.

Leng Yan must have completed the task of winning over Xia Fan, and it would be useless even if he attacked her.

so--

He only has one way to go.

That is to "please" Xia Fan leave Wanyang to avoid completely out of control.

He still had no plans to discuss with Su Yunxiao.

Because he knew that Su Yunxiao and the Kushu Rescue Army were just chess pieces sandwiched between the court and the major sects.

And chess pieces have no right to decide their own destiny.

"My younger generation Gu Xiqiao has met Senior Zhongli."

Zhongliyuan is a straightforward person.

He is a little similar to Xia Fan.

They don’t have the airs of a master, and they all laugh and scold them according to their mood.

Zhong Liyuan is thin and has a poor appearance. He also has a messy gray beard and carries an extremely ordinary long sword all year round.

Judging from the appearance alone, it is estimated that few people in the world will regard him as a hidden master, and more like a down-and-out wandering man.

When Su Yunxiao and Su Runfu held a banquet to entertain Zhong Liyuan, Zhong Liyuan was all focused on the wine and food on the table, and he looked like a refugee who hadn't eaten for a few days.

In his words.

He did not eat such delicious and hearty days.

On the table.

Gu Xiqiao always maintains basic smile etiquette.

Until the banquet ended, Zhong Liyuan and Su Runfu finished talking about the old one and returned to their room.

He came to visit the door quietly.

"Xiaoxiqiao, is there any trouble to find me so late?"

In the room.

Zhong Liyuan sat straight at the table, and took a casual sip of the tea.

Guxi Bridge did not beat around the bush, but directly explained the purpose of the trip.

"I understand this."

However, after hearing this, Zhong Liyuan only had a slight jaw and had no other expressions.

"Then I will not disturb Senior Zhongli's rest."

Gu Xiqiao sighed lightly and bowed to leave.

Meaning, he has brought it.

As for whether Zhong Liyuan will take action, this is something he cannot force.

"Zongfu, do you need me to help you solve this hidden danger?"

Shortly after Gu Xiqiao left, Zhong Liyuan tilted his head and said in the direction of the screen.

"No need, people from Yunxiao Palace will take action."

Su Runfu slowly walked out from behind the screen with a cold face.

"It seems that this little guy Gu Xiqiao is not the same as you." Zhong Liyuan smiled discontently.

"He has his concerns, and we have our ideas." Su Runfu sat opposite Zhongliyuan and said in a deep voice. "From the beginning, we were not people on the same boat."

"To say something ugly, you shouldn't have come back then." Zhong Liyuan shook his head and said.

"I have concerns in my heart, so I will never be as free and easy as you in my life." Su Runfu sighed. "I felt deeply guilty when Yuan Hong's death back then. Now Yun Xiao has embarked on his father's old path again. How can you let me feel at ease?"

"So I'm too lazy to persuade you more." Zhong Liyuan said lightly. "After helping you this time, you can do it yourself in the future."

"I see."

For a moment.

They looked at each other speechlessly.

...

"Young Master, this is the candidate that the Secretary has re-arranged for you."

The next day.

Leng Yan visited Xia Fan again and brought him a reply from Si Li.

"Su Runfu?"

Xia Fan, who took the document handed over by Leng Yan, glanced at him casually and said a little surprised.

Because the Zhenwusi wanted him to deal with was Su Yunxiao's clan uncle.

Recorded on the data.

This Su Runfu is Su Yuanhong's cousin. The two have a deep relationship since childhood. Later, Su Runfu went out to explore the world and was suspected to have met with experts. Since then, he has lost all news for more than ten years.

It was not until Su Yuanhong was defeated and died, and the Zhenwusi tried to take Su Yuanhong's family, that Su Runfu suddenly appeared and rescued Su Yuanhong's children, Su Yunxiao and Su Yunyun.

With the help of Su Runfu, Su Yunxiao successfully integrated the disintegrated savior rescue army. The Zhenwusi had planned several assassinations of Su Yunxiao, but they were all defeated by Su Runfu.

At this time, the court realized that Su Runfu had been quietly promoted to the level of a master in the years of his disappearance.

There is a master to protect himself.

Zhenwusi naturally gave up the meaningless assassination.

The problem is that as the backbone of the Saviors, Su Yunxiao will always have a chance to revive as long as he is not eliminated for a day.

Therefore, the imperial court's attack on Wanyang this time would inevitably not let Su Yunxiao go.

But if you want to kill Su Yunxiao, you must first deal with Su Runfu.

This task was originally handed over to the master of Zhenwusi, but Xia Fan did not want to be enemies with the people in Yunxiao Palace, so Zhenwusi could only transfer this task to him.

"Are you really relieved to hand over this difficult task to me?"

The text piece that Xia Fan held his fingers looked at Leng Yandao with a smile on his face.
