    Chapter 20: Delay leads to change

    The murderous aura in the alley is like frost, and you can hear a needle drop.

    Behind Hu Xiaotian is a dead end, but in front of him is a ferocious and powerful enemy. If he fails to deal with it, he will end up dying in a foreign land.  The situation was so bad that his heart was as calm as an ancient well, without any fear or timidity. All his energy was devoted to the weapon in his hand, as if everything in the world had been extinct, and only the slowly moving broken stick was left in his eyes and heart.

    Life or death.  As long as one thrust is needed, there is no third option.

    Zhuge Wang couldn¡¯t even figure out why a person who couldn¡¯t use his inner strength could exude powerful pressure comparable to a first-rate master?  As the sword energy struck, he realized that this was a sure-fire sword that would determine the difference between life and death!  If he attacks by force, one of the two people will definitely die under the influence of Qi, in order to resolve such a strong murderous intention.  After witnessing the opponent's exquisite swordsmanship, he was not completely sure of how to deal with this mysterious young man.

    Zhuge Wang couldn't help but feel regretful. He risked his life for a mere thousand taels of silver. How was it worth it?  But in front of Sun Haoxiang and all his subordinates, he was too embarrassed to retreat voluntarily. If he did that, how could he still hang out on the road in the future?  For a moment, he was in a dilemma, but he couldn't reveal what he was thinking. He moved his feet slowly, as if he was trying to find a weakness in his opponent.

    Sun Haoxiang jumped to his feet and shouted: "Boss Zhuge, you are invincible! Hall Master Zhuge, you are invincible in the world!"

    Zhuge Wang¡¯s face turned red and he was almost internally injured by his clown behavior. He wished he could slap him in the face and make this annoying voice disappear completely.

    Just at this moment, there was a loud bang, and a red firework exploded in the sky, which was gorgeous and dazzling.  All the big men exclaimed: "Hall Master, this is the urgent assembly order for our gang!"

    Zhuge Wang secretly took a breath and said in a deep voice: "When the gang leader releases this firework order, something major involving the life and death of the gang will happen. You guys rush back to the gang to gather. I'll go first!"

    Sun Haoxiang heard something was wrong and hurriedly said: "Boss Zhuge, you took my money, but the matter is not finished yet! Could it be that you want to let it go?"

    Zhuge Wang's face darkened and he said sternly: "Fourth Young Master Sun, Gang Leader Gou has issued a special order. Anyone who fails to follow the order will be killed! Do you want me to lose my head?"

    Sun Haoxiang shrank his neck and waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't dare! What should I do with this kid?"

    Zhuge Wang glanced sideways at Hu Xiaotian, raised his hand and nodded at him and said: "Boy, today is your luck. After I finish handling the major issues of this gang, I will come back and kill you! If you have the guts, don't run away!"  After saying that, he raised his breath and ran quickly towards the place where the fireworks were rising.  As for whether Hu Xiaotian takes the opportunity to escape, there is no need to worry.

    Feng Ergou and others winked at each other and evacuated quickly without even letting out a single fart.  Sun Haoxiang wanted to cry but had no tears. He felt like he was mourning his heir, and he also wanted to sneak away.

    Hu Xiaotian said coldly: "Surnamed Sun, stop!"

    Su Haoxiang shivered, but when he saw everyone in the Lianzhu Gang running away faster without any sense of loyalty, he was frightened. His knees went soft and he knelt down: "Brother Hu, Mr. Hu, it's me who is stupid, it's my lard that's covered in it."  Xin, for the sake of my sister-in-law, please spare me this time."

    Hu Xiaotian said: "If you want to survive, slap yourself forty times."

    Sun Haoxiang looked at him with cold eyes, how could he dare to bargain?  Then he opened his arms from left to right, and slapped himself forty times in a row, until his cheeks were red and swollen, and his mouth and mouth were bleeding.  After the beating, he covered his face with his sleeves and ran away with a big pig's head on his head.

    Hu Xiaotian waited for all the enemies to retreat before dissipating the condensed sword energy. Everywhere in his limbs felt pain, especially in his lower abdomen where the energy and blood were churning, and his internal organs were about to shift.  He took out the Lihuo Pill and drank it. Thinking about the short battle just now, he felt happy and a little proud.  You must know that under the absolute disadvantage of being unable to exert half of his internal strength, he successfully repelled the Lianzhu Gang and forced Zhuge Wang to be timid and afraid of fighting. No matter who evaluates it, it will be a miracle.  The most important thing is that through this battle, he finally found a way to break through the Qi Lock. What he has to do next is to constantly challenge his limits and achieve breakthroughs in battle after battle.  Just like the previous demon sect leaders, if you want to become the king of demons, you must use your hands to defeat all obstacles and climb to the top by stepping on the bodies of countless defeated people.

    The road to supremacy is only through battle.

    Hu Xiaotian waited for the medicinal power to dissipate and his blood to calm down before he walked out of the dead end.  In order to prevent the Lianzhu Gang from coming back, he always held a broken stick to defend himself.  After passing two alleys, he was about to reach the main street when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves and an ordinary carriage turned from the corner and rushed towards him.

    The driver was an old servant in black who was in his fifties or sixties. He was thin and small, his eyes seemed to be squinted but not squinted. His face was full of wrinkles, which reflected the vicissitudes of life.  He suddenly saw Hu Xiaotian, who was covered in blood and holding a broken stick in his hand. His eyes turned cold. He reined in the galloping horse with one hand, slowing down the carriage, and picked up the horse with the other hand.The riding whip was aimed at Hu Xiaotian intentionally or unintentionally.

    "Uncle Yu, why has the speed slowed down?" A refreshing and pleasant voice sounded in the car.

    The old servant lowered his voice and said, "Miss, there is a suspicious person ahead, so be careful."

    Although Hu Xiaotian didn't hear the coachman's words, he clearly felt the other party's hostility. Knowing that his image had caused misunderstanding, he immediately leaned against the wall and let the carriage pass.  He was hurt both internally and externally, and he really didn't want to do anything and remained motionless.  The carriage gradually approached, and a corner of the carriage curtain was lifted, revealing a pair of beautiful almond eyes, looking out.  Suddenly, there was a low cry in the carriage, obviously very surprised.  The old servant's expression tightened and he whispered: "Miss, what happened?" The young lady suddenly said: "Uncle Yu, stop the car!" The old servant was stunned for a moment, reined in his horse and stood still, with a vigilant gaze.  Targeting Hu Xiaotian was like guarding against tigers and wolves.

    Hu Xiaotian was confused and said with a smile: "Old man, why don't you drive through? Do you want to let the young man go first?"

    I saw the car curtain lifted, revealing an ugly face that looked like a ghost, with shining eyes, and asked with concern: "Master Hu, why are you living on the street alone? What happened?"

    Hu Xiaotian was shocked and lost his voice: "Are you Yan Jiu?!"

    Yan Jiu glared at him angrily, as if blaming him for yelling, and ducked back into the carriage, saying calmly: "Mr. Hu, you are in such a mess, you must be seriously injured, do you want to come back with me for treatment?"  Injury? Just think of me as repaying you a favor, and I will never owe you anything in the future." That day outside Tongguan, Hu Xiaotian had clearly seen through her disguise, but he did not say anything to break it, allowing her to use a trick to break through the barrier and escape smoothly.  This favor has always been engraved in her heart.

    Hu Xiaotian never expected that he would meet Yan Jiu in Luoyang. Seeing that she was safe and sound and traveling in a car, it was clear that she had completely escaped the pursuit. The situation was completely different from that of fleeing in the wilderness.  Then I thought about it, Yan Jiu's hiding place must be very secret. If I could stay temporarily for a few days, wouldn't it be a good way to avoid the eyes and ears of the Lianzhu Gang?  The Lianzhu Gang is an underworld gang. If it suffers a loss, it will seek revenge and will never give up.  When they come to the door again, they will surely use all their masters. How can he defeat them by himself?  It is only right to avoid the limelight first.

    Hu Xiaotian threw away the broken stick, cupped his hands and said, "In that case, Hu has the audacity to bother you." Ignoring the cannibalistic look in the old servant's eyes, he climbed onto the carriage and got into the carriage.

    The interior of the carriage is elegantly decorated, covered with thick cushions, and the air is filled with the girl's unique sweet body fragrance.  Yan Jiu leaned against the back of the carriage, with an open snack box in her hand. The exquisite pastries were half empty. She thought that before meeting Hu Xiaotian, she was enjoying delicious snacks, and that ugly mask was probably put on temporarily.  Hu Xiaotian sat down cross-legged and said with a smile: "Miss Yan, when did you come to Luoyang? Have those who are chasing you followed?" Yan Jiu said disapprovingly: "What if they come after Luoyang? There are tens of thousands in the city.  Who can guess where I am hiding in a private house? When they are like headless flies, they will retreat and have no choice but to do anything to me." After that, he glanced at him thoughtfully.  , the conversation changed: "Master Hu, you are not an ordinary scholar. When you were in Chang'an, you were involved in underworld disputes, had issues with the camel demon, and even stabbed his eyes out. Today in Luoyang, you were covered in blood again, obviously with  The enemy forces fought a fierce battle and made enemies everywhere. What is your identity? What is the purpose of traveling around the world? Can you tell the truth? "

    Hu Xiaotian thought: I not only blinded the camel demon's eyes, I also killed him.  But the assassination of the camel demon was so unbelievable that no one would believe it.  How could the famous northwest lord, the leader of the Seven Demons of Yin Mountain, be killed by a scholar?  Shen Shen said: "If you think about it seriously, Miss Yan, you have saved my life. I should not hide my identity from you. But I have a small request. Can you agree to it first?" Yan Jiu chuckled:  "Is this a deal? What is your request?" Hu Xiaotian coughed lightly and said, "Miss, please take off your mask and let me take a look." Yan Jiu's body stiffened and his eyes suddenly turned cold: "Why?"  Hu Xiaotian said: "Isn't it fair to exchange my secret for your secret?"

    Yan Jiu rolled his eyes dexterously, lowered his head and said: "Master Hu, because I practice our secret skills, I am soaked in the corpse poison day and night, so that my face is covered with poisonous sores.  . So I have been wearing a mask for many years and dare not show my true face to others. If you see my face, you will have nightmares every night. How about making other requests? "

    Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "I don't believe it. Miss Yan has a graceful figure, a pleasant voice, and charming eyes. How could she be ugly? She is just one of a million beauties. And I heard that people in the underworld cover their faces mainly to hide it.  Your true identity has nothing to do with beauty or ugliness.¡±

    Yan Jiu said angrily: "Since you know the rules of our sect, why do you dare to make such unreasonable demands? You want to see me with your own eyes."Appearance is also easy. Either swear an oath to join this sect, or I will give you death. Which one are you willing to choose?  "

    Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't choose any of them. I am a scholar who came to Beijing by imperial decree. As long as I pass the court's selection examination, I can easily get an official position. Why bother? Miss Yan, the people in the world are not following the right path.  You should get out of this whirlpool as soon as possible. Wouldn¡¯t it be better to get married, have children, and spend your life in peace?¡±

    Yan Jiu laughed and said: "Marry and have children? How can such an ordinary life belong to me? Mr. Hu, I have long been destined to participate in the fighting in the world. I cannot push away or hide. The road ahead may be full of thorns and dangers, but I  I will never give up voluntarily. Because I am Yan Ao's daughter, and I want to inherit my father's legacy!" As the only daughter of the underworld sect master, she has too many responsibilities and aura. Even if she wants to give up her position as the sect leader, there will be no peace within the underworld.  The careerists would not allow her to live.  Cutting off the root cause will never lead to future troubles - this is a wise saying that has been proven by countless historical facts.  So she had no way out, no place to escape, and had no choice but to struggle to survive.

    Seeing that it was useless to talk more, Hu Xiaotian put his hands on his hands and sighed softly: "Since Miss Yan doesn't want me to see your beauty, can you tell me your real name?"

    Yan Jiu was stunned for a moment, his cheeks behind the mask suddenly became hot, and he said angrily: "Master Hu, what are you talking about? How can a girl's maiden name be easily told to others?" According to the custom at the time, the name of a girl from a wealthy family was  The name and date of birth cannot be disclosed to the outside world. The husband's family will only be informed when the marriage is discussed.  Hu Xiaotian asked in a teasing way.

    Hu Xiaotian has been traveling around the world for many years, and it is normal for him to tell each other their names. In fact, he did not intend to tease and tease him. Seeing Yan Jiu's reaction so violently, he hurriedly said: "The young man made an unintentional mistake, and he definitely didn't mean to offend the lady. Please don't take it seriously.  "He was worried. Yan Jiu wouldn't mistakenly think that he had evil thoughts, right?

    Yan Jiu's whole body was filled with heat. He turned around and didn't dare to look at him. He gritted his teeth and said, "You said something wrong. Why don't you apologize?" Hu Xiaotian whispered: "Miss Yan, I was wrong. I shouldn't make random demands. Please  You forgive me." Yan Jiu snorted coldly: "Does this count as an apology? It's so dry and insincere! It's fine if you want me to forgive you, but I'll punish you to tell the truth about your identity." Hu Xiaotian said honestly: "  I am a disciple of Xuanzong, the leader of the divine sect." Yan Jiu turned around, looked at him steadily for a long time, and sighed: "Master Hu, just forget it if you don't want to tell the truth, why bother to recognize people as your teacher? Xuanzong  You are the number one master of the underworld and the current leader of the Demon Cult. If he knew that you dared to pretend to be his disciple, how would he let you go? If the white heroes knew that you were pretending to be a disciple of Xuanzong, they would rush to kill you. For your sake  For the sake of your own life, don¡¯t mention this again in the future!¡±

    Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Yan, I am really a disciple of Xuanzong, I"

    Yan Jiu waved his hand and interrupted: "Stop talking! Since you want to keep the secret strictly, I won't ask any more questions. You and I met by chance. We will never have a chance to meet each other in the future, so we might as well keep a little bit of privacy." After that, he closed his mouth.  eyes, obviously not wanting to waste time talking to him.

    Hu Xiaotian closed his mouth helplessly, and something suddenly occurred in his heart. The daughters of ordinary families usually have a surname but no name. Even if they are given a name, it is an ordinary and easy-to-remember nickname. The neighbors will know it, and it is not a too important secret.  Only a rich lady from a well-known family would care so much about her maiden name.  In this way, Yan Ao's public identity in Chang'an should be quite prestigious, otherwise how could he cultivate Yan Jiu's temperament as a young lady?

    The two of them sat in silence, each thinking about their own thoughts. The atmosphere in the carriage was a bit awkward.  Fortunately, the journey was not long and the carriage stopped steadily. The old servant whispered: "Miss, we're home!" Yan Jiu suddenly opened his eyes and said calmly: "Get out of the car." Hu Xiaotian touched the tip of his nose and exited the carriage first.  .

    The carriage was parked at the end of the alley, in a secluded location, with no other people around.  The old servant had opened the door of the house. The walls were mottled with gray and the paint on the door had faded. It had obviously been there for several years.  Walking into the door, an old woman with a kind face came out quickly. She saw Hu Xiaotian standing next to the car, her eyes flashed, and she shouted: "Who are you?"

    The fragrant breeze blew, Yan Jiu jumped out and said with a smile: "Aunt Hua, he is my guest, don't be nervous." The old woman frowned and said: "Miss, the master once told me that unrelated strangers are strictly prohibited from walking on  Enter here to avoid leaking the news. The situation is critical now, and we want to ensure your safety." He said with murderous intent in his eyes, and his clothes made a sound, clearly wanting to kill Hu Xiaotian.  Yan Jiudao: "Aunt Hua, Mr. Hu saved me, otherwise how could I escape to Luoyang? He is a gentleman and will not betray me." The old woman was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "He is the one you mentioned  Mr. Hu?" Suddenly he smiled slightly, with all his murderous intent, he turned to the old servant and shouted: "Old man, what are you doing so long? Why don't you go kill the chickens to cook and entertain the guests!"

    Yan Jiu led Hu Xiaotian into the wing and sat down, then took the medicine box and asked, "YouWhere is the hurt?  Why are there no obvious wounds?  "Hu Xiaotian rolled up his sleeves, with purple bruises on his arms. Yan Jiu hesitated for a moment and pushed a bottle of medicinal wine in front of him: "Men and women are not allowed to be intimate, please just apply the medicine yourself.  Just pour the medicinal wine into your palms, rub it warm, and then rub it on the affected area.  "

    While applying the medicine, Hu Xiaotian asked casually: "Miss Yan, is there any news about Sect Master Yan?" Yan Jiu sighed, shook his head and said: "My father's life or death is uncertain, and I haven't received any news from him so far. I am taking the risk of traveling today.  , is to send an order to the disciples stationed in Luoyang, asking them to secretly send people to find out the whereabouts of my father."

    Hu Xiaotian knew that she had the underworld¡¯s sect leader¡¯s token, and had her own way to mobilize the underworld¡¯s disciples to carry out action. If Yan Ao was killed, she would be the legitimate new underworld sect leader.  It seemed that Yan Ao had prepared for the worst when he broke out that day, and had even made arrangements for his aftermath.  Of course, it will not be easy for Yan Jiu to control the underworld, and he will definitely be challenged by other high-level figures, such as the ambitious Jia Chun.  Hu Xiaotian suddenly shuddered and asked hurriedly: "Miss Yan, have you told your fellow students where you are staying?"

    Yan Jiudao: "Of course not. Although I lack experience in the world, I also know that it is necessary to be on guard against others. Unless you absolutely trust someone, don't expect to know that I am living in seclusion here."

    Hu Xiaotian frowned and said, "Then how do they get in touch with you?"

    Yan Jiu said displeased: "This is the secret inside my underworld, why should I tell you? You are too curious!"

    Hu Xiaotian took a deep breath and said seriously: "Miss Yan, there is someone among the nine ghosts in the underworld who has evil intentions and wants to seize the throne of the sect leader. He will definitely get rid of you by any means. If you come into contact with the disciples today, if you don't take precautions in advance, you may  Being tracked by the other party without realizing it. Miss Yan, we have to leave here immediately, otherwise things will change if we wait too long!"

    How could Yan Jiu believe this: "Master Hu, first you lied about being a disciple of Xuanzong, and now you are alarmist and creating unrest. Which of your words is true?"

    Hu Xiaotian was so anxious, should he spend his time retelling the part about the ancient temple?  By the time he finished speaking, Jia Chun was already in front of him!  I thought I had finally found a safe hiding place, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a place filled with murderous secrets.  Urging: "Miss Yan, let's go first! Can I explain to you while walking?"

    Yan Jiu remained unmoved and was about to tease him a few words when he suddenly heard a short scream from the backyard. It was the voice of the old servant!
