Do you also want to dig out a peerless expert to be inadequate from the Sky Mountain sect?” “干什么？你还想从天山宗挖出一位绝世高手不成？” „I thought......

Didn't need me to accompany?” “就……不用我陪着去了吧？” „Does not use.” “不用。” „, That may be good, you know, my martial arts, you will not make me steal a thing to be good, fights that is brings death.”

exit.” “哦,那我也等会,外面太冷,真不想出去。” After the quarter of an hour, Gu Shenwei brings to leave, hides in the corner, is staring at the Xu entrance, two quarters, had gone out of a big man from Xu, wear the cape, the hood block from the whole piece face, about looked at one, depart in a hurry. 一刻钟以后,顾慎为带着单刀离开,躲在街角,盯着许家门口,又过了两刻钟,从许家走出一位高大的男子,身披斗篷,兜帽遮住整张面孔,左右望了一眼,匆匆离去。 In south city, dressing up of this covering their ears and eyes is not rare, appears in the prostitute family/home is common. 在南城,这种掩人耳目的装扮并不罕见,出现在妓女家中更是常见。 Gu Shenwei waited for a meeting, is really cold cannot bear, takes a step to go to the south wall tavern. 顾慎为又等了一会,实在冷得受不了,才迈步前往南墙酒馆。 The fatty of guarding a gate searches as usual, requests to save the blade. 守门的胖子照例搜身,要求存刀。 Gu Shenwei does not have the person who the discovery wants to find in the tavern, has not come including Zhang Ji, under he is implicated in the table that the master often chooses, wanted one glass of red wine, the expense in the Tie Hanfeng account, is then staring in white jade cup the bright red liquid, sinks until the sun west. 顾慎为在酒馆里没发现想找的人,连张楫也没来,他在师父常选的桌子旁坐下,要了一杯红葡萄酒,花销记在铁寒锋的账上,然后盯着白玉杯中鲜红的液体,直到日头西沉。 Tie Hanfeng has not come, Gu Shenwei wants to ask for advice several issues to the master urgently, actually cannot seek his person's shadow. 铁寒锋没来,顾慎为迫切地想向师父讨教几个问题,却偏偏寻不到他的人影。 The time arrived, Gu Shenwei leaves tavern, got back the single tool in the entrance, the fatty has not conjured again, was original that handle blade. 时候到了,顾慎为离开酒馆,在门口领回了单刀,胖子没再变戏法,还是原来那柄刀。 Outside snowed, initially when not anxiously not slow, when Gu Shenwei arrives ten dragons help the limiting point, turns into the whirling snow, beyond ten did not see clearly. 外面下起了雪,初时不急不徐,等顾慎为来到十龙帮聚点时,变成漫天大雪,十步以外就已经看不清楚。 The drunkards usually are not many, Gu Shenwei walked several around the courtyard, even jumps the wall to enter to the courtyard, also nobody comes out to prevent. 酒徒没有平时多,顾慎为绕着院子走了好几圈,甚至跳墙进到院子里,也没有人出来阻挡。 The light and loud noise, were reminding outside youngster snow day to be cold, he could not insist that the room, was not afraid Old Dragon Head, but wants to verify the white truth. 灯光、喧闹声,都在提醒外面的少年雪天有多么寒冷,他还是坚持不进屋,不是害怕老龙头,而是想查明白真相。 This time, „verifies truth” and „solves problem” to be almost the same thing. 这次,“查明真相”与“解决问题”差不多是同一回事。 The thatched roofed hut entrance has piled up with the wine pot, was covered by the snow, like hills, the Gu Shenwei group the snow, knocks one by one, is spatial. 草房门口堆满了酒坛,被积雪覆盖,像一座座的小山,顾慎为拨去雪,挨个敲敲,都是空的。 „Heh!” “嘿！” Finally some people have discovered the surreptitious youngster, dragon Yalin the long blade, with the Old Dragon Head sons and several holding the blade guys. 终于有人发现了行踪诡秘的少年,龙牙拎着长刀,身后跟着老龙头的儿子和几名持刀大汉。 „How did Old Dragon Head say?” “老龙头是怎么说的？” Gu Shenwei grips tightly the hilt, this blade and Golden Roc Castle slender blade are not quite same, but is more convenient than the short-sword, „he said that wants to ask me to drink, thank me to punch his son, I said that here liquor is too bad, but also exchanges the water, does not want to drink.” 顾慎为紧握刀柄,这刀与金鹏堡狭刀不太一样,但还是比短剑顺手,“他说想请我喝酒,感谢我揍了他儿子,我说这里的酒太差,还兑水,不想喝。” Several guys angry roar loud, dragon tooth has brandished the long blade, „you only have a time opportunity, goes.” 几名大汉高声怒吼,龙牙将长刀抡了一圈,“你只有一次机会,快滚。” Gu Shenwei stared at dragon tooth to watch a meeting, started to retrocede, before long vanished in the wind and snow, opposite transmitted dragon tooth and the others indistinctly the laughters, probably was the joke youngster is the coward. 顾慎为盯着龙牙看了一会,开始后退,不一会就消失在风雪之中,对面隐约传来龙牙等人的哄笑声,大概是笑话少年是胆小鬼。 This is the prey of Killer(s) apprentices, Gu Shenwei cannot rob their delicacies, particularly when Shangguan Yu holds the post to kill the Lord. 这是杀手学徒们的猎物,顾慎为不能抢夺他们的美味,尤其是在上官雨时担任杀主的时候。 Gu Shenwei returns to the south wall tavern, Tie Hanfeng not to come, he must return to Xu. 顾慎为又回到南墙酒馆,铁寒锋还是没来,他只得回许家。 Xu Yanwei in building has rested, Xu Xiaoyi has also lain down, sees Gu Shenwei, said blurry, „is good the door bolt.” 楼上的许烟微已经休息,许小益也躺下了,看到顾慎为,迷迷糊糊地说了一句,“把门插好。” A Gu Shenwei person sits near stove, closes the eye, the imagination front has a white paper, he has written that copy clerk, then starts to write the names of 20 Killer(s) apprentices, here one pile, that side one pile, like today such that sees at the hidden point, writes about „Liu Hua” two word-time, remembers has not seen this person in the morning. 顾慎为一个人坐在火炉边,闭上眼睛,想象面前有一张白纸,他将那份文书又写了一遍,接着开始写20名杀手学徒的名字,这边一堆,那边一堆,就像今天在隐藏点看到的那样,写到“流花”两个字时,想起上午没有看到这个人。 The matter suddenly sees the light all of a sudden. 事情一下子豁然开朗。 Gu Shenwei pushes to awake to sleep soundly Xu Xiaoyi, „is who asks you to make this work?” 顾慎为推醒酣睡中的许小益,“是谁找你做这活儿的？” „? What? Liu Waizui, don't you know him?” “啊？什么？刘歪嘴,你不认识他吗？” Gu Shenwei did not know that anything „mouth awry”, holds the shoulder of Xu Xiaoyi, makes an effort to rock, is thoroughly sober until the opposite party, sat morosely. 顾慎为不认识什么“歪嘴”,抓住许小益的肩膀,用力晃动,直到对方彻底清醒,不高兴地坐了起来。 „Does?” “干什么？” „In the morning who is the man?” “上午来的男人是谁？” „Old Dragon Head.” “老龙头啊。” „It is not he, hides the man in building.” “不是他,藏在楼上的男人。” Xu Xiaoyi has smiled one awkwardly, the rotation eyeball, as to deny, finally changes the mind, „you discover.” 许小益尴尬地笑了一声,转动眼珠,似乎想要否认,最后又改变主意,“你发现啦。” „Who is he?” “他是谁？” „A Elder Sister guest, normal that just entered the room to catch up with the Old Dragon Head back leg, therefore hides above. It is not I wants to hide the truth from you, but you had expelled the guest yesterday, I and Elder Sister was a little worried.” “姐姐的一个客人,正常的那种,刚进屋就赶上老龙头后脚来,所以躲在上面。不是我想瞒你,可是你昨天把客人打跑了,我和姐姐都有点担心。” Said is the same with the real matter, Gu Shenwei thought, „do not play the pattern, both of you cannot play, be careful own head.” 说的跟真事一样,顾慎为心想,“不要玩花样,你们俩玩不起,当心自己的脑袋。” Xu Xiaoyi touches own head, discovered that it still, „felt relieved, who was I? I when south city use all might, your Liennan city has not heard.” 许小益摸了摸自己的头,发现它还在,“放心好了,我是谁？我在南城摸爬滚打的时候,你连南城还没听说过吧。” Gu Shenwei returns to the stove near, if the Xu sister and brother also participated in this plot, will pass tomorrow to eliminate a potential informant, he did not have the ability to protect them, Xu Xiaoyi is not willing to speak the truth, avoided him to think this duty completely actually. 顾慎为退回到火炉边,如果许氏姐弟也参与了这场阴谋,过了明天就会被灭口,他没有能力保护他们,许小益不肯说实话,倒是免除了他自认为该尽的一份义务。 Xu Xiaoyi sits on bed that supports temporarily, is looking at the furnace youngster dull, starts to speak but hesitates, finally to the end goes off, sends out the exaggerating the snoring sound. 许小益坐在临时支起的床上,呆呆地望着炉边的少年,欲言又止,最后倒头睡去,发出夸张的鼾声。 Gu Shenwei closely grips the hilt, the color and flavor of his stomach loathing blood, his heart is actually longing for slaughtering, he knows that which is own control. 顾慎为紧紧握住刀柄,他的肠胃厌恶鲜血的颜色与味道,他的心却渴望着杀戮,他知道哪一个才是自己的主宰。
