The knife of the man in black was very heavy, and it was directly inserted into his chest, if he was a little more biased towards the heart, even if Yequan secretly constructed a yuan knot for him to protect his body organs, although the fragment of the Wasteland Ding with divine power could give him great recovery ability, even if there was a tea refiner who supplemented him with the best medicinal materials, maybe Jiang Ming would no longer be able to wake up.

"His body's ability to heal itself is extremely strong, but I can always feel that his secret injury does not heal, although this injury is very serious, but it should not be a threat to his life, but if that dark injury occurs, maybe it will bury his life. The tea maker took a sip of tea through the curtain, he had drunk the tea he had brewed for more than ten years, and he had never gotten tired of it.

The white girl of the flower arrangement frowned lightly, and said, "What kind of injury did this Jiang Ming have? It would leave such a huge hidden danger, I don't know if that girl knows, if she doesn't know, it will not be easy to live in the future." ”

The tea refiner said, "Go out, let him recuperate." You seem disappointed that the girl didn't come last time?"

The white girl said, "It's not that I'm disappointed, it's just that in this seventh act, there is no peer like Yi Wei who can occasionally talk, and I always feel empty in my heart." ”

The tea refiner sighed lightly, but couldn't help coughing three times in a row, the white girl hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, but he just held it in his hand, forcibly held the sharp tearing pain from his throat, and said, "You shouldn't have entered this inn after all, the rules of the seventh act are very strict, and it is easy to get in, but if you want to get out, how can it be so easy? Even I dare not talk about this topic lightly with the owner of Chang'an." ”

The white girl's face turned cold, and the hand that went to support was still in the air, and then slowly retracted, "If I didn't join the seventh act, I'm afraid that I would have starved to death on the street a long time ago. ”

The flower arranger was the same as she had never forgotten something, and these things were like sharp thorns lurking in her heart, and whenever she wanted to get close to that person, she would stab her hard. She turned and walked forward, and the alchemist stretched out his hand, his chapped lips squirming, but he couldn't say anything, only to watch her go.

Yes, he regretted it.

He regretted it a long time ago.

Jiang Ming slept in his dream, as if he was experiencing a huge disaster, he saw the huge flying stones burning with flames falling, like a huge meteor shower, everyone in the prosperous city stood outside the houses to watch, but Jiang Ming clearly saw that the direction of those flying stones falling was the land where thousands of creatures stood. He wanted to shout, he wanted to get them out of the way, but he couldn't make a sound, he wanted to run, but it was as if he was in a labyrinth without boundaries, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move a single step under his feet. The creatures in the distance were about to be destroyed by the thousands of flame flying stones, but he had no way to stop it, as if it was fate, he lay his whole body on the ground, pounding the ground frantically, as if he couldn't bear to bleed from his eyes.

"That's, Yamashi...... Yes, it must be Mountain City. ”

He comforted himself in his heart, he is not a hero who can save the world, his existence only makes this world one more spectator to witness the disaster, and at the same time he is lucky and sad, but the kindness in his heart does not allow him to be so cruel, he wants to climb out of this imprisoned world, he raises his feet hard and runs, but the next second the scene makes him no longer have the strength.

Meteorites fall from the sky, the fire burns the plain, and not a single grass grows.

Jiang Ming felt a touch of warmth in his heart, it was a very small red dot, more like a drop of water, but how could the water bead have this color? It's just that he doesn't remember that on the nineteen-way chessboard, there was a drop of crimson liquid hidden in his body.

Jiang Ming looked through the drop of blood, the scenery in his eyes seemed to be completely new, he seemed to have come to a unique world, it was a closed space, the walls in the space were extremely smooth and flat, as if there was no exit. But he saw a tall body, it was a creature that didn't look like a human, but it was a human, he had all the appearance of a human, except that what he had was a pair of black horns on the top of his head. How can horned be human?

He sat on the ground, with an absolute desolation between his eyebrows, and he held a black stone in his hand, which was not an ordinary stone, but a black chess piece, and the object hidden by the wide back was a chess table engraved with nineteen points on the chessboard, this scene made Jiang Ming seem familiar.

The tall figure held the black chess pieces between his fingers, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly put them on the chessboard, and then stared at the chessboard closely, and then he didn't know how long it took before he put down a black chess piece, and the chessboard seemed to have spirituality, and he didn't know who was holding the white chess, resulting in the two colored chess pieces on the chessboard always being equal.

Jiang Ming seemed to have spent several years in his long gaze, but there was no feature in this secret room that could represent time, all he felt was the loneliness and loneliness that he had endured.

I don't know how the tall figure spends it, I only know that he has been playing chess for a long time, and he is extremely slow to play chess, but at the end of playing chess, he spurts out a mouthful of blood, and the muscles of his whole body are shrinking and aging at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his eyes are hidden behind him and are not seen, and there is no way to know what his expression is, but he can hear the sound of his vicissitudes.

"Self-trapped in prison, sink into the rock. I cling to black, it clings to white, life is about to end, I will die if I can't win, and it is enough to die. ”

Jiang Ming seemed to see a big mountain collapse with a bang, and then it was dark in front of him, and it was difficult to see anything anymore, he recalled the tallness

The figure spoke, but the memory seemed to be blocked by something, and he muttered in his mind, "Self-trapped in prison, sink into the nettle." Who is it? Why do you want to die? Who is it? Why is it self-trapped? What does Netting Yan have to do with him? What is it that is black and white? Is it a chess game? Who loses and who wins?" Finally, Jiang Ming is still asleep, he doesn't know what he saw before, he only remembers the six words that have special meaning to him in prison, Netting Yan, black and white.

At this time, the deep sleep was more like a kind of rest on weekdays, and he began to realize that the place he was in was no longer the illusion of reality, but a familiar dream, and the dream was far more real than those things.

After Luo Hu and Chu Hong disguised, they brought a few subordinates into the city, because the Qianfeng Inn was the richest and most powerful force in the Nine Fields, and there was no shortage of all kinds of goods and treasures, not to mention that if the two of them planned to take something, it was estimated that they would be laughed off by these people.

"Eldest son, we originally came to thank Qianfeng Inn for saving Jiang Ming's kindness, but there is nothing in our hands that is too rude, but with the huge background of Qianfeng Inn in our hands, I really can't think of any gifts that I can hold, not only without losing our demeanor and etiquette, but also making the other party look down on us. ”

Luo Hu looked at the Qianfeng Inn from afar, his steps were a little hesitant, if it was on weekdays, but when Luo Hu learned from Lin Han that Jiang Ming also had this ability, his shallow jealousy was mixed with a lot of comparison, Jiang Ming could be favored by the Qianfeng Inn and even the seventh act behind and give a helping hand, he was fortunate but also a little difficult to agree with that kind of distinguishing encounter. He was thinking, could it be that Jiang Ming was really better than him?

Chu Hong didn't care about this, and he never worried about this, seeing that Luo Hu hesitated to deal with the crowd with two sentences, listening to the polite meaning in Luo Hu's words, he only paused slightly, and said, "Otherwise, we will each search in this city, and if we want to make the people of Qianfeng Inn look at it, it is impossible, we can only find some valuable but not vulgar objects, maybe we can make people feel our sincerity." ”

Luo Hu's face was overjoyed, he found the answer he wanted from Chu Hong's rare opinion, and couldn't help but be a little excited, and said, "Then let's inquire about some shops in Jiaozhi City first, maybe we can find some things, at least Jiang Ming is safe in Qianfeng Inn, and he is not in a hurry at this time." We went our separate ways, but fortunately I brought a lot of silver with me before I set out, and one person took seven or eight hundred taels, and I searched for it on the east side of the city, and you searched for it on the west side of the city, and came back here in about an hour to gather, what do you think?"

Chu Hong nodded, and brought two subordinates to separate from Luo Hu here, and he didn't say whether he was willing or reluctant in his heart, but he always had some bad feelings about Luo Hu's strange attitude today, but he was used to working together on weekdays, and he didn't feel that it was a major interval, so he ignored the past.

The prosperity of Jiaozhi City is much less than before, just like a beautiful woman with red lips and pink face, suddenly abandoning the style of heavy makeup and glamorous makeup, and dressing on another pure road, this obvious change, people who want to live in Jiaozhi City will understand, the pure past, a bloody killing reform.

The decisive means of Yangtafeng directly uprooted those stubborn gentry families, and the evidence of the crimes of each family to oppress the people was listed one by one, and placed on the guillotine of those gentlemen and street tyrants.

The surviving people were saddened by the death of the fox, and could not help but recall the crimes they had committed over the years by relying on the three great families, and gradually turned white with fright, and the dead were like weeds in the fields that plagued the growth of the crops, and when the papers of those established crimes were splashed with blood, the ordinary people who hid in their hiding places and watched wept excitedly. The grievances that have been difficult to redress for many years have been dealt with fairly, and the people who have been oppressed like mustard for many years can finally express their experiences generously, and this reform is like a fire, which quickly ignites the entire Cochin City.

"What smell? Is this the smell of blood? Is there something ahead?" Chu Hong was quite puzzled, and the plainclothes armor on the side said, "Commander, that direction is the city lord's mansion and the execution ground of Jiaozhi City, it is estimated that it is now cleaning up those wicked people who have committed serious crimes in the prison, more than a dozen people have been beheaded together, and it is not strange that there is some smell of blood in the air." ”

Indeed, as the plainclothes armored man said, only the number of beheadings this time has reached more than 100 people, and this is the largest number of prisoners executed by the criminal law of Jiaozhi City in more than ten years.

Chu Hong suddenly didn't care about it anymore, and as soon as his eyes turned to catch a glimpse of a jewelry store, he raised his leg and walked in. There are a lot of jewels in the store, but they are all ordinary styles, which are still a lot short of Luohu's requirements. Looking at the rough stone placed in the remote place, Chu Hong was quite interested, and was about to take a closer look, the boss wearing a brocade robe on the side did come up with an extremely ugly face, and said, "Childe, why don't you come back the next day, because there are some private matters below, so you have to close the door as soon as possible, but I have no choice but to disappoint the son, please forgive me for the offense." ”

Chu Hong frowned, seeing that the boss looked flustered, and his expression was quite stiff, it didn't seem like he was deliberately provoking him, he felt bored, and he didn't intend to make trouble because of this little thing, so he wanted to walk out of the store, but at this moment, the sound of broken porcelain suddenly came from the inner courtyard leading to the side door of the store. The boss's expression was stunned again, and Chu Hong's footsteps also slowly stopped, and after staying in silence for more than ten seconds, Chu Hong was about to raise his feet again

, but heard another crisp sound, this time the sound did not stop again, but continued to ping-pong.

Chu Hong's face was strangely towards the brocade-clothed boss, his eyes glared sharply, and he sneered, "Boss, why do I think you seem to be a thief, didn't you deceive a rich customer to go to that courtyard and deliberately kill him?" The boss's face was pale, his expression was uncertain, and he tried his best to hide it in his heart, but the cold sweat on his forehead was pouring out wildly, he grabbed Chu Hong's arm and said, "It's none of your business, go quickly!" I didn't do anything hurtful, you go out quickly, the shop is closing." ”

Chu Hong stomped on his hind feet, and his whole body stood firmly on the door of the store, no matter how the boss of Jinyi pushed him, he just didn't move at all. The boss shouted angrily, "It's not something you can take care of, get acquainted and leave quickly, otherwise if you let the people inside see you, you will die." ”

Chu Hong said, "Who is inside? Why do you think I'm so easy to deal with when you see me and die?" But I always feel like you have good intentions, let me see who is hiding in your inner courtyard, right?"

"You can't go in, you'll die if you go in!" The boss pushed this Chu Hong hard, but Chu Hong used half of his eight lead power to push him to the ground, and at the same time, Chu Hong's two plainclothes armor soldiers also followed in and restrained the brocade boss. Chu Hong said, "Just watch him, don't hurt his life, I'll take a look." ”

Chu Hong lifted the curtain of the inner courtyard and walked in, behind him was still the boss's admonition, he didn't seem to hear it, and kept walking forward. The area of this inner courtyard is quite large, and there are seven or eight houses in a row of houses, which shows that the jewelry owner's family is solid. Chu Hong followed the voice and walked towards the innermost room, he keenly smelled a pungent smell of blood, and at a glance, he saw a man in his thirties lying on the wall outside the door, looking like a helper in this jewelry store, Chu Hong squatted down to probe his nose, but found that the person was dead, and there was a visible blood mark on his neck.

Chu Hong's face was suspicious, and he said secretly, "This wound directly cut this person's throat, if ordinary people definitely don't have such strong strength and precise control of the sword blade, it seems that it is not that the boss deliberately kills people, it should be that a martial artist who is extremely good at swordsmanship has come into this courtyard, and the level of martial arts is not low." ”

Chu Hong stood up and stared at the door, there was a sound of ping-pong clanging in the room, he could faintly hear a man's laughter, through the crack in the door he could see a woman's figure was dodging in a panic, he knew the general plot of this matter for a while, the corners of his mouth were cold, and then he stepped forward and kicked the door open.

"Who?" The topless man turned slightly to avoid the splashing of wood slag and a deliberately shot stone, his eyes looked at the figure standing in front of the door, and said with a resentful face, "Where is Xiaoxiao? dare to disturb Uncle Ben's good deeds, it seems that you also want to stage a heroic scene to save the beauty, but it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!"

Chu Hong looked around, there were not many tables and chairs in this room, but there were a few tall porcelains and a few pieces of jade that were not small, which should be the place where the jewelry boss stockpiled them.

But seeing that the man was born strong, his strong muscles were strong and powerful, his face was extremely handsome, and his whole face was full of arrogance and confidence, but he was not the aura of a rich and noble family, and he was definitely not an ordinary family.

The woman who confronted her on the other side, her stunning cheeks were not stained with fine dust, but she was stained with a blood mark, and her upright and beautiful facial features outlined the woman's demeanor just right, even if her expression was panicked and bleak, it was still difficult to hide the noble temperament like a fairy descending into the world, the red long skirt set off her slender figure, but the front of her neck and skirt were cut by the blade of the sword for a few knots, revealing a fair and charming complexion, and the long sleeves of her left hand were also cut to pieces, and there was a deep wound on the snow-white lotus arm with a stream of red blood.

This kind of injustice of forcibly humiliating an innocent woman really made Chu Hong angry, but when he looked at the woman's stunning face, he couldn't help but feel a little distracted. He really has very little contact with women of the same age, and he has not tried that kind of charming affair, so today he has become the hero of the story for the first time, and he didn't react for a while, and then raised his hand and slapped himself in the face to keep his spirit clear, and then took off his robe outside and threw it at the woman, saying, "There was some rudeness before, but I hope I didn't disgust you, girl, I will help you block this person, although I am not talented, it can be regarded as an eight-stage person." ”

I saw Chu Hong raise his head awe-inspiringly, looking firmly at the sturdy man, although he was defenseless, he was extremely confident. The woman in the red dress looked at the strange man with her back to her with a complicated face, and silently picked up his robe and draped it over her body, covering her bare skin, but not to cover her shame, but to show respect and gratitude to this person in her demeanor.

"It turned out to be a martial arts master, no wonder he can have such confidence! I didn't expect this small Jiaozhi City to be so extraordinary, and any cat and dog character who runs out has this kind of strength, but I want to see, you, a wild martial arts master, what kind of ability do you have to fight with me?" The bloodstained long sword of the sturdy man inserted in the shelf was slowly pulled out, even if he despised the opponent in words, but what the master taught him since he was a child was "The lion fights the rabbit, and he also uses all his strength."

Chu Hong stepped forward and stood in front of the woman in the red dress, his fists were a little nervous, but he didn't have any fear, it seemed that he rarely fought with people like this, but this time, he was standing in front of a woman, sheltering her from the wind and rain, so he could only step forward to fight.

"Don't underestimate me, I'm also a warrior of Gakino!"
