There was silence in the lobby. Zhang Xuan stared at Yang Qi's headless body in a daze. Blood flowed out of his neck all over the ground. His mind was still blank. He had only been in the Sui Dynasty for a few months before he encountered such a bizarre thing.

Who are these three women? They easily cut off the head of the dear owner, but Yang Qi did not resist at all, as if it was natural to cut off the head of others.

But even if a dog is killed, he will struggle and yell twice!

In addition, how could they know their names? After thinking about it, there was only one explanation. They had long been lurking in the martial arts hall and heard their registration, but.

Looking at the woman's figure and her elegant lantern wide-leg pants, he has really seen them somewhere.

Could it be?

He suddenly remembered the cold and arrogant woman in black in Wuchuan Mansion. Could it be her?

Zhang Xuan's heart was in a mess, and he seemed to have vaguely guessed the origin of these female assassins.

He stepped forward and picked up the black turtle shell. It was indeed a complete turtle shell, the size of a palm. Zhang Xuan accidentally discovered a burning fire phoenix painted on the front of the turtle shell, which was lifelike, as if calling to Jiutian.

"Crash!" A loud noise came from beside him, which scared Zhang Xuan and saw a raised table pouring out.

Zhang Xuan felt someone behind the table. He took the knife and walked forward, but saw Liao Tong curled up behind the table, trembling all over.

Zhang Xuan pulled him up, "Who were the three women in black just now?"

"Yes... Xuanwu Fire Phoenix!" Liao Tong's teeth chuckled.

Zhang Xuan smelled a stench and saw some yellow liquid ticking out of Liao Tong's trousers. Zhang Xuan was both angry and funny. He threw him on the ground and lowered his head to ask him, "What is Xuanwu Fire Phoenix?"

"have no idea!"

Liao Tong had the courage from somewhere, so he jumped up and ran out, and heard him waving and shouting, "I don't know, I don't know anything!"

Zhang Xuan didn't catch him and watched him run away. He thought of him lurking in the martial arts hall for seven days just to get close to Yang Qi. Unexpectedly, these three women were even more powerful, so they came up and cut Yang Qi's head away.

When the woman said that the martial arts school belonged to her before leaving, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Do they really think they are here to ask for debt?

At this time, he saw the long sword next to Yang Qi's corpse, shining with cold light and extremely sharp. Other things did not belong to him, but this sword should belong to him. This is his first victory over Yang Qi.

He originally wanted to compete for a silver medal for "Yang Qi's disciples", but it seemed that this sword would help him realize his plan better.

Zhang Xuan walked forward and inserted the sword into the scabbard. There was an inch of gold not far away, which was also the winner's first prize. He picked it up and put it in his arms.

No matter who the Xuanwu Fire Phoenix is, it's all his business. He put his sword on his waist and stretched it away.

Zhang Xuan came to the Wude Weapon Shop again. Although he didn't want to ask about Xuanwu Fire Phoenix, a intuition told him that since Xuanwu Fire Phoenix assassinated Yang Qi, it was likely to target Yang Xuangan. If he took it lightly, he would eventually fail in their hands.

Zhang Xuan walked into the store and saw the fat and fat shopkeeper Liu at a glance. He walked up to him and bowed and smiled, "Does Storekeeper Liu still remember me?"

"Are you?" Manager Liu scratched his head, "I seem to see you a little familiar."

"I came to buy a knife seven days ago. Is the fifty-six-ton ​​sword the shopkeeper forgot?"

"oh--"

Manager Liu suddenly realized, "It turns out to be Mr. Zhang. Why? Mr. Zhang still wants that knife?"

Zhang Xuan nodded with a smile. Manager Liu was a little moved. This is the expert in identifying goods. No matter what, the knife must be sold to him.

"plz follow me!"

Manager Liu took Zhang Xuan to the back room. He took out the quaint heavy knife from the box and placed it on the table and smiled: "Maybe it's God's will. I have sold four of the six heavy knifes, but this one and the other one are not sold. It is destined to belong to the young master!"

The shopkeeper remembered that Zhang Xuan had paid him ten guan last time, and he smiled and said, "For the sake of Mr. Zhang's fate, I will get five guan cheaper. For as long as I have 45 guan, Mr. Zhang can take it away!"

Zhang Xuan took out the tortoise shell from his arms and placed it on the table, asked with a faint smile: "Is it okay to use this?"

The shopkeeper's eyes were straightened, and he took a few steps back like he saw a ghost. His legs became weak, and he fell to the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic. "The villain does not know the identity of the young master, please spare your life! Free your life!"

Zhang Xuan remembered the fear of people in the martial arts hall seeing it. Now the shopkeeper is the same. He just wanted to do a prank, not really wanting to scare the shopkeeper, so he quickly helped the shopkeeper up, "This turtle shell is not mine, I picked it up in the Yang family martial arts hall. Don't be afraid of the shopkeeper."

"You... aren't you Xuanwu?" The shopkeeper asked cautiously with fear.

"It is also the first time I heard about Xuanwu Fire Phoenix today. What is this?"

The shopkeeper wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead and slowly stood up. He should have thought of how could the real Xuanwu Huo Feng come to his store to buy a knife.

He remembered what Zhang Xuan said just now, was shocked and asked again: "Young Master just said that this tortoise shell was picked up in the Yang Family Martial Arts Hall?"

Zhang Xuan nodded, "The owner of the museum, Yang Qi, was killed by three women in black. He threw the turtle shell and everyone was scared to death."

The shopkeeper sighed, "It's a sin! Yang Qi must have been implicated by Yang Xuangan. He knew that he couldn't escape, so what would he do in Luoyang?"

"What is Xuanwu Fire Phoenix?"

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "This Xuanwu Fire Phoenix is ​​actually a killer organization. Generally, there are three people in groups. Xuanwu is a man and Fire Phoenix is ​​a woman. He often kills people on the bustling streets. His methods are bloody and cruel, and he does not care whether he hurts civilians. I remember the cruelest time was in the second year of Daye. Nine Xuanwu killers killed all the 325 people outside Chang'an City who participated in the social festival, causing a sensation. Therefore, everyone in the Sui Dynasty was afraid."

"What is their background?"

"There are several statements. One is that the Xuanwu Fire Phoenix was founded when the current priest and former prince Yang Yong competed for the position of the prince. It belongs directly to the priest. There is another statement that it belongs to the military and is controlled by Yuwen Shu. However, there is another statement that the Xuanwu Fire Phoenix was controlled by the Guanlong nobles and was their weapon of murder."

"Guanlong nobles?"

The shopkeeper glanced at him, "Have you heard of the Eight Pillar Kingdom? Their family controls Guanlong, so they are called Guanlong nobles. The Yang family, who is today's son, is also one of the Guanlong nobles."

Of course, Zhang Xuan knew very well that the Western Wei Dynasty had been granted the title of seven generals in charge of military affairs and the royal family Yuan clan, collectively known as the Eight Pillar Kingdom, such as the Yuwen clan, Yuan clan, Dugu clan, Zhao clan, Li clan, Yu clan, and Houmo Chen clan, including Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu and Li Mi's great-grandfather Li Bi.

Yang Jian's grandfather Yang Zhong belonged to the twelve generals second only to the Eighth Pillar Kingdom. The Eighth Pillar Kingdom and the Twelve Generals formed the Guanlong noble group and was the largest force in the Great Sui Dynasty.

If Xuanwu Huofeng is a subordinate of the Guanlong nobles, then Wuchuan Prefecture is an educational institution founded by the Guanlong nobles.

At this time, a thought jumped into Zhang Xuan's heart, which seemed to indicate some truth, but it was blurred. He pondered for a moment.

The shopkeeper asked carefully again, "Is the young master injured too?"

‘Injured!’ Zhang Xuan suddenly remembered Li Mi. It was supposed to be Li Mi going to Wagang, but after Li Mi was killed by himself, it was changed to Li Jiancheng going to Wagang.

Didn’t Li Mi and Li Jiancheng both belong to Wuchuan Prefecture? Wuchuan Prefecture was founded by Guanlong nobles, and Zhang Xuan’s thoughts suddenly became clear. Guanlong nobles were the behind-the-scenes planners of all major events, including Yang Xuangan’s rebellion, Li Mi’s acquisition of Wagang, and even Li Yuan raised an army in Taiyuan.

Xuanwu Fire Phoenix killed Yang Qi, but in fact he killed someone to silence him. So will Xuanwu Fire Phoenix continue to hunt Yang Xuangan?

Zhang Xuan felt that time was no longer waiting for anyone, so he took out five taels of gold and put it on the table, "Thank you, the shopkeeper, I will come to your store in the future."

Zhang Xuan stood up and bowed his hand, picked up the heavy knife on the table and turned around, leaving behind the confused shopkeeper.
