The melon-eating swordsman in the ancient dragon world.

Chapter 480: Trouble is all self-inflicted

In the carriage leaving Fenglin Inn, only Tie Kaicheng and Sun Xingyu were left. Of course, there was also Rong Zhengjie driving the car.

After having a meal of meat and drinking some wine with Yan Shisan, Tie Kaicheng left.

Yan Shisan will have to remain in seclusion for a while, while Li Zhenzhen will leave because of the Seven Factions Alliance.

Tie Kaicheng lay comfortably in the carriage, placing his feet in Sun Xingyu's soft arms, letting her squeeze them gently, while he unfolded a few small pieces of paper in his hands.

This was sent by the Red Flag Escort Agency to the nearest branch by carrier pigeon, then delivered to Rong Zhengjie by express horse, and then appeared in Tie Kaicheng's hands.

The small note was written by the escort Li Cheng, who was sent to Dongcheng by Tie Kaicheng some days ago to gather information.

[The big boss is not Tianzun's man, and has had several conflicts with Tianzun. ]

[The big boss has three thugs under him, Tiehu, Tietou, and Tiequan, as well as a think tank named Zhuyeqing and a confidant named Xiaodi.]

[Xue Keren entered Dongcheng and became Tiehu's lover, but Tiehu was often away from home, so she recruited several gangsters and hid secretly in Dongcheng.]

[The useless Aji appeared, worked in Han Grandma's brothel for a few days, was stabbed seven or eight times and left, now he follows a man named Lao Miaozi to dig out feces. ]

Tie Kaicheng nodded. Although Li Cheng was often shocked, he was still an old hand after all.

The big boss is certainly not Tianzun's man. He thinks that he owns Dongcheng and can compete with Tianzun because the three thugs under his command are indeed very capable.

But Tianzun has coveted the wealth of Dongcheng for a long time and has already placed people around the big boss, namely Zhuyeqing and his younger brother.

In fact, the big boss is on guard against everyone, even Zhuyeqing and his younger brothers, whom he does not completely trust. If it weren't for Xie Xiaofeng, he could rely on his three fairly powerful subordinates and might be able to talk to Tianzun again.

However, he offended Xie Xiaofeng and killed his three thugs. This forced the big boss to try all kinds of methods and even invited Tianzun's masters to his home, which cost him his own life.

However, Tie Kaicheng did not expect that Xue Keren would use her old tricks again and become Tiehu's lover again. It turned out that she could not escape from her comfort zone.

But her vision is still very good. Tiehu's real identity is not Cui Jifeng, the King Kong in the Clouds, but Lei Zhentian, the Thunder Tiger of Liaodong. He is definitely a top master. If he had not met Xie Xiaofeng, there would be few people in the world who could defeat him.

But she still didn't recognize Xie Xiaofeng, or perhaps Xie Xiaofeng was hiding too deeply. If the two had not met, Xue Keren would certainly not know that this "useless Aji" who had been stabbed seven or eight times in the brothel and was now enduring the knife wounds while digging out feces was actually the third young master of the Xie family who was suave, energetic, handsome, and had superb swordsmanship ten years ago.

"Xie Xiaofeng..." Tie Kaicheng shook his head.

Xie Xiaofeng is not a bad person, but it is hard to say that he is a good person either. Compared with the compassionate Li Xunhuan, the swordsman Yan Nantian, and the kind-hearted Lu Xiaofeng, he is more contradictory and entangled, and more ruthless.

Xie Xiaofeng is not a passionate man, but a heartless man.

In the original novel, he blocked the knife for the brothel and was willing to dig out feces, which were more like a kind of self-torture. He was moved by the friendship of Lao Miaozi's family and later protected Lao Miaozi and the baby, which was more like a kind of self-atonement.

If he had feelings, he would never stay away from home for eight years, would never watch the old woman being beaten to death, and would never ignore the baby in the later period.

After all, he is the third young master of the Shenjian Xie family. On the one hand, he is bound by the rules of the martial arts world, but on the other hand, he has the self of a playboy.

Yes, if we have to use one word to describe Xie Xiaofeng, it would be better to say that he is very self-centered. Xie Xiaofeng was already 32 years old when he appeared on the stage, but he has not actually grown up yet.

He failed to fulfill his responsibilities towards Murong Qiudi, his younger brother, Lao Miaozi's family, and even the Xie family.

He was tired of fighting in the underworld and didn't want to be in the underworld anymore, so he fled from the Xie family. He felt pain and even hatred for his past, so he mixed with the lower class and tortured himself. But at the same time, he maintained his inner superiority, showing his difference everywhere, and couldn't blend into the lower class, which led to the suffering of Lao Miaozi's family. When Lao Miaozi's family was in trouble, he was still entangled and watched the old woman being beaten to death before he finally took action.

In Tie Kaicheng's view, Xie Xiaofeng is like a child who was spoiled since childhood because of his extraordinary talent. After becoming tired of the status quo during adolescence, he ran away from home in pursuit of freedom.

His moral values ​​were still the aristocratic ideas shaped by the Xie family, which gradually came into conflict with what he had seen and heard in the past eight years. Finally, they went through adjustments and compromises, and finally in a duel with Yan Shisan, he realized the meaning of life and death and cut off his thumbs.

But everything in the past can't be returned...

There is nothing that can be done about this. After all, the work "The Three Young Masters' Sword" is ostensibly about the story of Xie Xiaofeng's search for himself and inner growth.

As for Xie Xiaofeng, did he grow in the end?
Tie Kaicheng: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

"What's wrong with Xie Xiaofeng?" Sun Xingyu asked while massaging Tie Kaicheng's feet.

Tie Kaicheng raised his head and glanced at Sun Xingyu who was massaging his feet, thinking that there was another beautiful woman here who was later harmed by Xie Xiaofeng.

"Xie Xiaofeng is going to be in trouble." Tie Kaicheng said slowly.

Sun Xingyu's eyes flashed, "Since Xie Xiaofeng's martial arts can be compared with Master Yan, who in the world can cause trouble for him?"

"There are many people who want to cause trouble for him, but none of them are capable of causing him trouble. All his troubles are caused by himself." Tie Kaicheng said.

Sun Xingyu didn't quite understand.

Tie Kaicheng glanced at Sun Xingyu and said calmly, "Many people's troubles are self-inflicted."

Sun Xingyu was shocked.

"I didn't bring this trouble upon myself." Sun Xingyu said pitifully.

"So the expert who followed us all the way was actually sent by the Demon Cult leader to find you and take you back to the Demon Cult?" Tie Kaicheng said with a smile.

Sun Xingyu's eyes flashed. She didn't expect Tie Kaicheng to have discovered it.

"careful!"

Outside the carriage, Rong Zhengjie screamed, and then there were long neighs from two horses. Then, the moving carriage stopped suddenly, but it did not cause any jolt.

"I greet the princess! I greet Chief Tie!"

The next moment, a heroic voice sounded in front of the carriage. Tie Kaicheng lifted the curtain and saw a middle-aged strong man in silver clothes holding the reins in one hand and stopping the carriage with one hand.

Tie Kaicheng looked at Yin Long with curiosity in his eyes.

The middle-aged sturdy man also looked at Tie Kaicheng with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"The Silver Dragon of the Demonic Cult?" Tie Kaicheng asked.

Dissatisfaction flashed across the silver dragon's eyes, and he continued calmly, "Holy Church Silver Dragon!"
