"Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water" is naturally not the real names of He Yang Xinci's four apprentices, it's just the names they were given in "Legends of Jianghu".
Their real names, other than themselves, are only known to He Yang Xinci.
More than ten years ago, the four of them came to the Central Plains with their master, and only "Shui" got a fixed false name of "Leng Yuqiu"; while the situation of the other three people is that "Jing" has been changing identities, using other people's names. "Flower" has to change to a new pseudonym every time he completes a mission; as for "Yue"... As a person who has been lurking and assassinating, it is even more impossible for him to use his real name.
But today, this life of incognito and shadows is over.
"Fang Butou, don't come here without any harm." When Yue said this, she had already appeared behind Fang Jin and Xu Huaishang.
He was like a ghost, coming and going without a trace, even Xu Huaishang didn't notice Yue's existence until the other party approached within five meters of his body.
"We..." Fang Jin looked back warily, wondering, "... have you met?"
I have seen many experts in the past two days, and Fang Jin is no stranger to this kind of situation where someone suddenly appears from behind; moreover, the other party has already greeted him on his own initiative, neither launching a sneak attack nor revealing his identity. Murderous, so Butou Fang has no reason to be too flustered.
"Yes, I have seen it..." Yue Hui said, "But I'm afraid, Butou Fang won't recognize me."
His appearance is indeed unremarkable, it belongs to the kind that disappears as soon as he stands in the crowd, but this is not what he wants to express.
"A few years ago, we met once in Jiangnan. At that time... my identity was a traveler in the Fengbo Escort." Yue continued, "I remember, I also ate at the same table with the catcher. Fan, it's just... I couldn't say a few words."
"Then..." Fang Jin didn't mince words with him, he knew that the tripper was just a false identity, "Your Excellency's current identity is..."
"Heh..." Yue smiled, took out a gold medal from his pocket unhurriedly, raised his hand and flashed it in front of the two of them, "I think... Fang Butou is quite familiar with this, right?"
Fang Jin naturally knew the gold medal, and he almost became the person with the gold medal himself, but...he didn't.
Because he still has a conscience.
"It turned out to be the spy... I'm sorry..." No matter what he thought in his heart, Fang Jin, who was eating the imperial food, still had to show his respect to the "employee" in front of him.
"Hmm..." Yue nodded, shifted her gaze to Xu Huaishang, and asked, "I don't know... this heroine is..."
"Xu Huaishang." Xu Huaishang didn't wait for Fang Jin to introduce himself, so he announced his name.
"Oh..." Yue pondered, as if she didn't take her seriously, then turned her head and said to the other party, "Fang Butou, let me speak straight." Fang Fang glanced, "Master He Yang Xinci over there... is my adoptive father and master, my name is He Yang Zhiyan... As you can imagine, I am also from Dongying.
"Through my identity, you may have guessed that today...our actions are not only the will of my master, but also the will of the current Holy Majesty...
"So, I'm here to remind you, I hope you can be clear about your position..."
His words made Fang Jin feel chills down his spine, but after thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable.
The "Jianghu" that once disappeared, after these years, unknowingly revived, and once again broke away from the control of the imperial court.
This is obviously what the ruling class does not want to see...
And in order to regain this "unique" lost ground, it is not surprising that even someone like He Yang Xinci is used.
Anyway, for the imperial court, this kind of "grey area" can be managed by anyone; not to mention Japanese people, even Westerners, barbarians, or non-human... As long as you are "obedient" in front of the imperial court, other details don't matter .
In fact, they wished that He Yang Xinci would slaughter the entire Central Plains Wulin, and by the way make himself half dead, so that the court would be relieved.
"You mean to ask Fang Jin to stand by your side?" A few seconds later, before Catcher Fang could reply, Xu Huaishang asked first.
"What?" He Yang Zhiyan heard a bit of hostility from Xu Huaishang's words, but his attitude was also very tough, "Xu Nuxia...do you have any objections to this?"
If this incident had happened at an earlier point in time, Xu Huaishang might not have any objections, but now...she has seen that there are Oda Ai and Sasaki Ming in the enemy's formation, so she must not let it happen. Things go on like this...
Compared with the two Warring States players who have already formed an alliance with He Yang Xinci, Xu Huaishang, who only won Fang Jin, an alliance NC, if Fang Jin becomes the dog leg of He Yang Xinci's apprentice... then she herself will be There is absolutely no position to speak of.
"What do you think?" Xu Huaishang didn't answer He Yang Zhiyan's knowingly asked question, but asked a rhetorical question.
When the words fell, the killing intent of the two sides collided in the air.
Even the surrounding air seemed to sink.
chirping—
At that moment, a knife was unsheathed.
The person who made the knife... was actually Fang Jin!
[Blue Bird] As soon as he appeared, the saber's energy was extremely strong, and this first slash was a life-threatening decisive kill.
Ping—
Before they could see for a moment, they fought hand-to-hand, sparking a frightening knife cry.
The weapon He Yang Zhiyan should use is a short sword; the way he holds the sword is backhand.
After one move, Fang Jin took three steps back, while He Yang Zhiyan... only took one step back.
"Fang Butou... so handsome." Judging from He Yang Zhiyan's ability to praise his opponent in a calm tone, the fight just now... He undoubtedly gained the upper hand, "It is worthy of being the direct descendant of 'Dao Huang Meng Qing' Disciple, there is a world of difference from those martial artists who worship under the great sect and have false names..."
"I'm overwhelmed." Fang Jin endured the pain of the tiger's mouth bursting and the discomfort of the blood churning in his chest, and replied coldly, "I have learned 90% of Master's martial arts, but my cultivation... I'm afraid it's not as good as her old man one-tenth of."
"But..." He Yang Zhiyan changed the subject, "I don't understand... Fang Butou, why are you facing me with swords?" He turned his gaze to Xu Huaishang again, "Could it be... because of this woman? "
Fang Jin replied blankly: "It has nothing to do with Xu Nvxia." When he replied, his chaotic inner breath had gradually adjusted, "The reason why I am against you is very simple..." He said solemnly Said, "Official position and salary, I can lose..." As he said, he took off his hat and threw it casually, "But if the dignity of a warrior in the Central Plains is lost..." He raised his knife again and placed it Putting on a posture, "...how can I face Master's spirit in heaven in the future!"
