Chapter 226 Performing a Good Play

At midnight in Luoyang, the cold stars are in the sky, and the bright moon is not visible.

No one can be seen outside the gate of the Guiyi Mountain Villa in front of me.

However, the two people guarding the door, with thick hands and feet, large arms and round waist, holding swords and knives with both hands, scanned Xie Wei with cold eyes, showing a strong sense of vigilance, and

An uncontrollable surprise and curiosity.

There are not many people who have seen him from all over the Heavenly Sect; I have seen him and know that he is the legendary "Dujun Mountain Man", which is even rarer.

However, rumors related to him these days have spread everywhere.

It is said that it was Mr. Gongyi's death, and there are many doubts; This person not only rebelled against the religion, but also had to repay kindness and had a disagreement with the sect leader; This trip to Luoyang means that the sect leader is finally going to show his divine power and come out of the mountain to deal with him.

But who could have imagined that the legendary Mr. Du Jun was like this?

Wearing a simple Taoist robe, although it had a hint of a dusty appearance, the ink painted eyebrows and eyes carried a calm indifference. Although he came alone, he showed no signs of fear.

More importantly, it's not some bad old man

Compared to the common officials they used to see in the past, Xie Ju'an is so young that they can't believe him.

However, soon the Daotong who had gone in to report the news earlier came out.

Arriving at the door, it was quite respectful.

Surprisingly, he bowed to Xie Wei with a hint of a playful smile and said, "The head of the sect and Miss Jiang Er have been waiting together for a long time. Sir, please come in."

The streets were empty and silent, blowing from the deserted streets, brushing past Xie Wei's clothes and swaying.

He had a solemn expression on his face.

Without saying much, his eyes met and he showed no signs of fear. He didn't seem like a unlucky ghost who was constrained or even about to become a prisoner. Instead, he had a calm and composed demeanor, as if he had entered his own house, and followed the child through the door.

During his more than twenty years in the Heavenly Cult, he rarely gave orders or provided advice with the word "Xie Wei". Instead, he took the name "Dujun Mountain Man" as his substitute, so that when he infiltrated the court one day, the name "Xie Wei" would remain clean and not attract suspicion from the court, revealing too many horse feet.

So I rarely go to each branch.

He is not familiar with the branch of Luoyang. As he followed the Taoist along the way, he calmly looked around and finally twisted around to a courtyard in the villa.

===Kunning Section 278===

A bright lantern was held outside, and under the lantern, there was a dark mass of Heavenly Cult members.

"Mr. Du Jun is here," said Dao Tong

At that moment, everyone's gaze turned and fell on him. Immediately, the besieged people slowly parted like a tide, giving him a way, but their eyes followed him all the way, watching intently.

Thank you for turning a blind eye to danger.

He didn't even glance at these believers and walked straight into the courtyard through this separate path, then saw the open door inside.

Wan Xiuzi went to great lengths and carefully managed to capture Jiang Xuening, feeling that Du Jun was very special to this woman and that he was afraid that he might be able to seize his weaknesses.

However, this is a conjecture from beginning to end.

If Xie Ju'an, after receiving the letter he left behind, disregarded the life and death of this woman today and did not come, he would not have been surprised at all. So, when he heard Xie Wei's arrival with his own ears and saw him walk in from outside, Wan Xiuzi, sitting in the chair, unconsciously and forcefully shook his hand on the shoulder of the young woman, greatly uplifted.

The young woman didn't expect it and let out a soft, painful cry.

However, Wan Xiuzi had already pushed her away, her eyes shining brightly with a hint of chills. She quickly locked in Xie Wei and laughed, "Okay, how brave! You really dare to come!"

Xie Wei stood still without any courtesy.

He didn't even look at Wan Xiuzi first, but instead at Jiang Xuening.

Since hearing Daotong report that Xie Ju'an had arrived, her heart sank; At this moment, seeing Xie Wei walk in, I feel even more at the bottom of my heart.

Jiang Xuening is still tied to a cylinder.

For days, she had been driven away by drugs, but not long ago, she was awakened by a bucket of water. Her face appeared pale and haggard, with some still wet droplets rolling down her cheeks. A pair of dark eyes looked at him, their eyes flickering gently, as if there were many things to say, but they were all hidden in silence.

Xie Ju'an has thought countless times these days about what it would be like to see her at the Luoyang branch.

In the current situation, he should control himself.

So after imagining everything, even the worst-case scenario, in his mind, he thought that when he saw Jiang Xuening again, he would be calm and not show any flaws. Moreover, the situation is far from as bad as I thought. However, with just one glance from Ai Ai, which was as light as smoke, it struck him hard in the heart, almost causing him to lose control in this moment, revealing the deep resentment and murderous intent buried in his heart.

Wan Xiuzi looked at him with great interest and said, "It seems that you really care about this little girl?"

Xie Wei just turned his gaze.

Just take a glance at the young woman who was wronged and disheveled at Wan Xiuzi's feet, and he will know that nothing good has happened in this room just now. When he thinks that Jiang Xuening was watching in this room just now, the frost in his eyes intensifies a bit. But he said, "How dare I not be summoned by the leader? It's just that Jiang Xuening is the daughter of a colleague in the court who once saved my life. In terms of circumstances and reasoning, he should not be implicated by me. He is just an insignificant outsider, and he is not a daughter that Jiang Boyou's mansion values very much. I'm afraid he has no value in making use of it."

This is distancing oneself from her relationship.

Just

Jiang Xuening suddenly felt a hint of doubt in her heart, and for some reason, when she saw him calmly answering with Wan Xiuzi, she inexplicably felt that she had calmed down quite a bit: Xie Ju'an, a person with deep blood and sea grudges, had not yet avenged her revenge, so she should not have truly placed herself in an insurmountable danger. She should have come prepared. These few sentences that clarify the relationship are worth pondering.

Sure enough, Jiang Xuening could think of it, and Wan Xiuzi could also think of it.

How could he believe such nonsense?

Immediately, he gave a cold smile and said mercilessly, "You are thriving in Xinzhou, with a good momentum. You have come to Luoyang for the sake of being a 'useless' and' irrelevant outsider. 'Setting aside your relationship, don't you feel the need to cover it up? Who are you? I still have a point in my heart. If you dare to come alone, I must have thought about how I will deal with you. You have witnessed the means of dealing with traitors in the teachings with your own eyes."

Xie Wei remained silent.

Wan Xiuzi stared at him with a hint of malice in his eyes, saying, "It was me who saved your life back then and saved you from being killed by the sword of the Prince of Pingnan. As people say, the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a gushing spring. You are so fortunate! With my careful cultivation over the years, I have actually raised a great disaster for myself. To repay kindness with enmity is truly the son of Xiao Yuan, inherited in one lineage!"

Jiang Xuening's heart skipped a beat.

Xie Wei's face was expressionless, and he looked straight at Wan Xiuzi. His hand, which was wrapped in his sleeve, clenched tightly for a moment.

However, he is not someone who can be provoked.

Faced with such a fierce general, he simply said, "You saved me just to save a good move, so that the imperial family and the Xiao family can look good one day. Therefore, after all these years of mediating for you in the court and spreading news to the sect, I have already paid off the debt. This is a combination of benefits and no debt, how can we repay each other?"

Wan Xiuzi was furious and slapped the armrest of his chair. Suddenly, he stood up and pointed his finger at his nose, cursing loudly, "What a person who doesn't owe each other! If you have been diligent and dedicated in these years, you can do your best for our Heavenly Sect. But if you don't ask about the affairs of the sect, are you blind? Which of the activities you have been doing secretly, do I not know? It's obvious that you are for the Heavenly Sect, but secretly for yourself! Since you went to the capital, why did the northern branches ever place me as the leader of the sect in their eyes? Everyone has become your lackeys! In your eyes, there is also me, the leader of the sect, and I am a loyal servant. Father?!"

Xie Ju'an, who was young, was truly a stunning talent.

From top to bottom, who can discuss with him?

When Wan Xiuzi returned to Jinling with this child who was burdened with deep-seated blood and hatred, he never imagined that he had such great abilities; Seeing that he was exceptionally intelligent and meticulous in his thoughts, it was only natural for the Heavenly Sect to have a great helping hand, and to be grateful in every aspect, even allowing him to assist in academic affairs and be on an equal footing with Gong Yicheng. He wanted the other party to obey him because of this; Unexpectedly, he has a big idea. He can't make mistakes on the surface, but he is ambitious in the dark. Gradually, he has grown into a behemoth, and even when he thinks about it, he has to be wary!

The person who thought they could control and work hard for themselves became a sharp blade hanging around their neck in the blink of an eye. Who can bear this hatred?

Wan Xiuzi detests him to the extreme.

But now that he has lost the Gongyi Cheng and later Xie Ju'an, the people of the Heavenly Sect are somewhat disheartened, and rebelling is not a simple matter. As he gets older, no matter how much he values health preservation, he is no longer in the prime of his past and gradually feels mentally exhausted.

In contrast, he hates Xie Wei even more deeply.

This statement was full of anger, accompanied by a commanding questioning.

However, when the word "adoptive father" fell into Xie Wei's ears, it only stirred up a fierce anger in his heart, and even reminded him of the palace filled with blood and the piled up corpses. The disgust that was deeply ingrained in his limbs and bones spread.

Of course, he even smiled.

He reminded him indifferently, "The leader forgot that more than twenty years ago, Xie Wei had abandoned his old name and given up his old surname. If he had a mother but no father, he would die. Your adopted son, whose surname was Xiao, must have been named Fei. Now, the capital is enjoying wealth and honor."

Who in the Heavenly Sect doesn't know the name of the young master?

The congregation feels a sense of concern when they think about it.

A few Taoist children seemed to recall the demeanor of the demon king and couldn't help but shudder, burying their heads lower.

Upon hearing these words, Wan Xiuzi almost burst into his head with a mouthful of Qi and blood, feeling dizzy and dizzy!

That damn Xiao Dingfei has been ignorant and inexperienced in these years, causing so many obstacles for himself and causing so much trouble for the Heavenly Sect!

He suddenly realized, "This bastard, you deliberately picked it! Okay, it's really good!"

Xie Wei did not deny it, but said, "I have come as promised. If the leader wants to be punished, he will do whatever he wants. Jiang Xuening, you have also been locked up for several days. Should we release you now?"

Wan Xiuzi looked at Jiang Xuening and said, "What's so urgent?"

He gave a cold smile and even raised his hand to signal to the nearby Taoist, saying, "Come and come, my Heavenly Sect is not a dragon's nest or tiger's den. So let's invite her to linger here for a few days, accompany me to read the scriptures and play chess, and relieve my boredom."

The Taoist children walked forward.

Jiang Xuening was greatly shocked in her heart. Although she knew that this terrible old man was threatening Xie Ju'an with herself, seeing Daotong walking towards her made her hair stand on end. She couldn't contain the anger in her heart and cursed.

He gritted his teeth and said, "The old demon Taoist has something to say. He stood there for a long time and didn't ask anyone to beat up Xie. I don't think it's like he's being threatened by you, but you're asking him for help! What a big turtle! If you dare to make someone move, my aunt has a bad temper. She accidentally bit her tongue and killed herself. Let's see what you're using as a bargaining chip!"

Unexpectedly, Wan Xiuzi was exposed by this girl's words, and a layer of black aura immediately appeared on her face.

The Taoist children went up to block her mouth.

Xie Wei's figure finally shook for a moment, but he restrained himself and said coldly, "Don't touch her!"

These Taoist children were all waiting by Wan Xiuzi's side, and the peripheral followers were unaware of the means of thanking him. However, they were very clear about it. When they heard this voice, they almost trembled with cold and instinctively stopped to look at Wan Xiuzi.

Wan Xiuzi raised his eyebrows.

He smiled contentedly and said, "Do you feel heartbroken?"

Xie Wei didn't answer, but said, "I killed Gong Yicheng."

His voice is calm.

So much so that at first glance, I thought he was talking about something ordinary.

However, as everyone slowed down and finally realized what he was saying, they felt like a thunderbolt had been thrown on the flat ground, causing dizziness and confusion. They couldn't believe what he was saying!

Even Wan Xiuzi was stunned for a moment, and then recalled the Battle of Tongzhou that happened two years ago. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, accompanied by a raging anger!

He's about to explode!

Gongyi Cheng is his right-hand man, loyal to him, and even the key to restraining Xie Wei!

"How dare you admit it!"

Wan Xiuzi's voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

"I knew it, I knew it!"

Xie Wei's words caused a shock to himself, as if he didn't pay much attention, but continued to throw thunderbolts: "I have done a few things to the Heavenly Cult, as is evident to all. When Gong Yicheng arrived in the capital, he pointed his finger and acted recklessly, not knowing what was good or bad. It's not my fault for me to hit him hard. After killing this person, from the capital to Zhili, all the branches of the cult fell into my hands, pretending to obey the headquarters, but in fact, it was not my command to listen. If you raise an issue now, from south to north, and if you have the cooperation of the northern sects, it will only be a matter of time to conquer the imperial city. But unfortunately, I expect the leader to follow me." Not willing to give up easily, I left a sentence: "If there is no order from me, I will surrender to the court when the war starts. The war is imminent, and even if we need to settle accounts, it is not at the moment. I believe that with Shen Lang's methods, we will first enlist these followers in the army and then slowly settle accounts afterwards."

Wan Xiuzi said, "Good plan! In order to oppose me, I borrowed the power of the court and the dog emperor, but I forgot about my deep blood feud."

Xie Weidao said, "Although I have a desire for self-reliance, I am not in a position to rely on the enemy's breath. I originally intended to take action on my own, but now that I am under the eaves, I have to bow my head. I don't want to threaten the leader, but I just want to use it to replace the leader and release Jiang Xuening. Revenge is the top priority in my heart. Whether I raise my own army or raise it together with the leader is not much different from me. I would like to ask the leader to raise his hand, Du Jun is not talented, and I am willing to offer the imperial court's defense map for the nine major cities in Hubei and Anhui provinces, to help me teach how to take action."

As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend.

Wan Xiuzi believed so much in Xie Wei in his early years because he knew Xie Ju'an's background and how deep his hatred was. It is impossible for such a person to stand on the side of the court as a pawn of the imperial family, abandoned by their relatives. And in order to one day seek revenge, he must exhaust his heart and do his best for the Heavenly Sect.

Although he later became bigger, he did not really do anything particularly to hinder the weakening of the Heavenly Sect.

Even at this moment——

Wan Xiuzi also had sufficient reasons to believe that Xie Wei hated the court to the bone and resorted to any means to achieve his goals. It is not impossible to submit to the Heavenly Church when one cannot act on their own.

The main forces of the Heavenly Cult are located in the south, and although the north secretly developed its followers due to Xie Wei's appointment as an official in the court, they are all in the hands of Xie Ju'an. The death of Gong Yicheng further deprived him of control over the north as the leader of the sect.

Nowadays, the situation seems to be unstoppable.

But he knew well that as he went north, it became increasingly difficult to fight, and Hubei and Anhui provinces were even more difficult to gnaw on. However, for the Heavenly Sect, it was crucial to occupy these two provinces, which would be considered as occupying the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, especially the Jiangcheng area in Hubei, which is a fertile ground for nine provinces.

If you say you're not tempted, it's fake.

But if Jiang Xuening is released, he will lose the bargaining chip to threaten Xie Ju'an. Although he still doesn't know how much position this woman holds in his heart, he cannot release it first.

And

Xie Ju'an's arrival was not surprising to Wan Xiuzi. But all of this was as he expected, and things went smoothly. He couldn't help but be suspicious and suspicious: without even trying, the army at the border of Xinzhou remained motionless. What a good situation? Can Xie Ju'an really be willing to take risks alone, just for the sake of a woman?

Inside the house, there was silence.

Wan Xiuzi stared at Xie Wei, seemingly considering.

Jiang Xuening didn't expect this person to come to such a dangerous place alone. Every word he said, he even had a bit of a comeback attitude, and even claimed to cooperate with the Heavenly Sect? Why is she a bit skeptical

Xie Wei did not urge, waiting for Wan Xiuzi to consider.

After a while, Wan Xiuzi finally patted his hands and smiled, saying, "It's said that heroes are sad and beautiful, and you, Xie Ju'an, have also had moments when you become red faced and angry! Not bad. However, this matter is big, and I still consider it. It's up to you both to be here, and now everything is going smoothly. Don't worry. On the other hand, you have a lover who has met, but you only talked to me, this terrible old man, for a long time. It's really not good."

Jiang Xuening rolled her eyes in her heart.

Wan Xiuzi suddenly turned into a good person, waving his hand around to signal everyone to go out. He then said to Xie Ju'an, "Dujun, I haven't been too difficult for you, so I have wronged you and this girl to rest for a while and chat. I will give you an answer tomorrow."

After speaking, he walked out with a smile on his face.

Everyone also followed suit and withdrew.

Although he was asking them to stay here and rest for a night, the last Taoist didn't show any mercy when he walked out and directly locked the door. The congregation in the corridor also did not leave, obviously guarding against the escape of the two of them.

Inside, only Xie Ju'an, who stood in place, and Jiang Xuening, who was tied to a column, remained.

It was not until then that Jiang Xuening realized that her spine was cold, and when she heard Xie Wei and Wan Xiuzi come and go, she unknowingly broke out in a cold sweat.

Now that people have retired, the tense energy has also relaxed.

If it weren't for being helped by the rope, I'm afraid she would have softened completely.

Xie Wei remained silent and walked towards her, reaching out to help her untie the rope.

Jiang Xuening turned her head to gaze at his cold face, unable to express any feelings for a moment. When she calmed down, a deep silence enveloped her, making her eyes sour.

This person really dares to take risks for her

She said, "You're really crazy."

Xie Ju'an raised his eyes and paused for a moment before saying, "Didn't you know earlier?"

The rope was tied too tightly, and a slight movement made her wrist ache.

Jiang Xuening smiled and casually said, "I thought being taken away by the Heavenly Cult was an opportunity. They threatened you, but if you don't come, it's useless to keep me. I'll play some non mainstream tricks when I come back, and give the old demon path some intelligence from the capital. Maybe I'll get lucky and escape your control, and then I'll be free like this. You're lucky, the ends of the world won't let me go."

At this moment, the two are in prison, and she didn't want the atmosphere to be too heavy, so she said this.

However, Xie Wei did not answer at all.

He untied the knot, but was unable to untie it immediately. So at this moment, I realized that my fingers, which were untiing the knot, were trembling imperceptibly.

Jiang Xuening didn't hear back from him for a while, thinking that this person was angry. However, when she turned her eyes to look at him, her gaze shifted downwards and she saw Xie Wei slowly closing his tightly clenched palm.

He just didn't say anything.

As usual, I will continue to untie the rope.

Jiang Xuening's gaze wandered and he looked at him for a while before suddenly saying, "Xie Ju'an, I have something very curious."

Xie Wei glanced at her.

Jiang Xuening coughed and bit her lip, with an expression that she couldn't hold back and wanted to suppress a smile. "I think you were quite good that time. After all this fuss, you haven't slept with a woman, are you still a baby?"

"..."

At the first moment, Xie Wei did not react.

However, upon realizing what Jiang Xuening had said, her face almost quickly turned black.

Jiang Xuening couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw his expression.

Her appearance is as if she has finally exposed someone's shortcomings, with such a reckless and aggressive attitude that is simply despicable!

Xie Wei's forehead and veins all jumped.

He couldn't hold back, pursed his thin lips tightly, and kicked her directly, indicating that she should restrain herself and be honest.

This foot is actually neither light nor heavy, nor painful.

However, when Jiang Xuening saw his expression of wanting to kill someone, she didn't want to go too far. She suppressed her laughter a few times and forced herself to retract a bit, but her expression still appeared teasing and narrow-minded.

Xie Ju'an then lowered his head again to untie the rope for her.

Just this time, the slight trembling just now has disappeared.

He suddenly froze.

Looking at the mottled and intertwined marks on Jiang Xuening's wrist, Xie Ju'an recalled her out of line joke just now. At this moment, he truly sensed her unspoken thoughtfulness.

What kind of person is Xie Ju'an with a clear mirror like heart?

In a flash, he knew she had deliberately made such a joke to interrupt and ease his emotions.

Just Ning Er, do you know that it's not because of being in danger, but because of the lingering fear after seeing you safe and sound

Xie Wei finally untied the rope that bound her.

Jiang Xuening's hands were almost numb, tingling with pain every time she moved. She couldn't help but greet Wan Xiuzi's ancestors one by one.

Xie Wei lowered his voice and said, "Wait for me here."

Jiang Xuening was taken aback and said, "Where do you want to go?"

Xie Wei didn't answer, his gaze fell on the tightly closed window to the north, and his footsteps followed suit, only looking out through the narrow gap.

Jiang Xuening also became nervous and dared not speak up.

Xie Wei seems to want to push open that window and do something.

However, as soon as he raised his hand, his gaze shifted and he frowned again. He turned around and walked back to Jiang Xuening, only to lift his right thumb and touch her lips. Warm fingertips, with some force, seemed to want to leave some marks on it.

Jiang Xuening was first surprised, then confused.

The corner of my mouth feels a bit painful.

She couldn't help but say, "What are you doing?"

The soft lips move with the pressure of the fingertips. Just using fingers is not as easy as he thought, as it is easy to leave marks. Moreover, the momentary moist touch suddenly awakened the surging intensity in his heart.

Fingers pressed against the corner of her lips.

Without any warning, Xie Ju'an buried his head and pressed down an overturned kiss. Sucking and nibbling lightly, half pitiful and half fierce, ravaging her and gasping for breath before letting her go.

The lips, which were originally cherry blossom pink, added a bright color, and even showed slight redness and swelling due to his excessive use.

Jiang Xuening opened her eyes wide to look at her.

After a while, she finally reacted and raised her hand to stroke her lips. Her anger surged, but she was afraid that the voice would be too loud for outsiders to hear. She gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

Xie Wei pursed his lips, his ears slightly reddened, but his words seemed straightforward: "It's a great performance."

Jiang Xuening is completely confused.

Xie Wei felt a little uneasy as she stared at him. He turned around and walked towards the window, asking, "Wanxiuzi told you about my past?"

Jiang Xuening felt unhappy in her heart, feeling that he was inexplicable.

So he sneered, "I've talked about it quite a bit. What kind of cultivation is not cultivation?"

Xie Wei's fingers pressed against the windowsill suddenly paused and turned to look at her, "How did you get back to him?"

Jiang Xuening subconsciously said, "I haven't returned."

Xie Wei glanced at her and said, "If he tries to test his cultivation next time, you can say there is."

Jiang Xuening:???????!
