On a moonlit night, the people of Meaux seemed to feel that the past few days in the city were unusual, and they closed their doors early and stopped going out. In the backyard of the inn where An Youdao stayed, as soon as the two figures fell in, they were surrounded by more than a dozen An family guards with swords.

"Don't be nervous, it's me, An Ruoxi. An Ruoxi said and put away her spiritual power.

The guards were still vigilant and did not evacuate, after all, An Ruoxi has rarely returned to An's house for more than ten years, and these guards did not dare to confirm it in the dark.

In the master bedroom of the main hall in the backyard, a voice came out, "Stand down." ”

As soon as An Youdao spoke, all the guards retreated. An Ruoxi looked at Gong Zhanshan and hurriedly flashed over.

In the main hall, An Youdao walked out of the bedroom wrapped in a big coat, "Ruoxi, Zhanshan, why did you come back? ”

An Ruoxi saw that her eldest brother's face was pale, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Big brother, why are you so careless, is the injury serious?"

Seeing his sister's worried look, An Youdao waved his hand lightly, "It's no big deal, it's just that it's a bit toxic, I'm afraid it will take two or three times to clean it up." Occupy the mountain, sit down, since you're here, just tell me about the situation over there. ”

Gong Zhanshan had already discovered two underground passages in the Poplar Palace, and originally planned to explore them alone at night, but when he learned that An Youdao was injured, Gong Zhanshan was not worried that Ruoxi would return alone, so he had to accompany her back to Mocheng. As for Lin Luosheng and Sun Haishan, they have already gone to join Lin Chengjing.

Gong Zhanshan briefly talked about Lin Chengjing's defeat and the situation he investigated, and then asked, "Brother An, is the person who assassinated you an old man?" This person's appearance~ I can't say anything outstanding, but those eyes are very special, like poisonous snakes, and there will be a chill from the bottom of my heart when he stares at them. ”

An Youdao was slightly stunned, shook his head, and nodded again, "The eyes you described are very similar, but they are not old men, and this person is not confused at most." Moreover, the cultivation of this person's astringent aura is very high, and he didn't even realize that he was a martial artist when he walked to my side. What, you've seen him?"

"In Stone Lake City, I met a chilling old man, who was very calm, and he stared at him as if he was on the verge of death. In my opinion, this person's level is not very high, and it is estimated that he will not be able to reach the third level of the ground grade. But if he wants to make a move, it is estimated that the fourth level of the earth grade may not necessarily be his opponent. ”

An Youdao looked at Gong Zhanshan in surprise, "With such an ability, can you retreat in his hands?"

Gong Zhanshan was stunned and said embarrassedly, "He didn't make a move, but I feel like he can kill me." However, I will also be hit hard. The Sun family in Shihu City has a good relationship with me, maybe he didn't do it because he was afraid of this. ”

An Youdao nodded, "Judging from your estimated level, it should be the same person." You must know that it is very rare for a person to be able to bury himself in the shadows on top of the earth, and this level of night killer is not only talented, but also has to survive a long-term hunt. It seems that Li Qihuang's people did not focus on the poplar forest, but on Mocheng. ”

Gong Zhanshan said approvingly, "I also feel this way, although the poplar forest is lively today, I haven't encountered a competition between masters." If this person made a move in the fog, I am afraid that the dead and injured would not be those Xuan-level guards. So before I came, I warned Lin Luosheng Sun Haishan that if he followed Lin Chengjing to kill the Poplar Palace tomorrow, he must not leave Lin Chengjing's left and right. In case of trouble, the three of them can also take care of each other. ”

An Ruoxi was puzzled in her heart, "Big brother, since Li Qihuang wants to confront the Lin family, why do you want to come to Mocheng to provoke other families." Especially when we settle down, it can be said that there is no threat to the poplar forest at all, and we are even helping them. ”

An Youdao looked at his sister Ruoxi, and then at Gong Zhanshan, "Li Qihuang arranged it like this, just to take this opportunity to shock the world." If you can assassinate the leading leaders of the four great families, the world's wealthy families will definitely be shaken. ”

An Ruoxi's face turned cold, "Big brother, if you really have an accident today, he Li Qihuang is not afraid that my An family will join forces with the Lin family?"

An Youdao sighed, "With Elder Qingyang, the great power of the Heavenly Realm, to deter the Falling Phoenix Domain, not to mention the alliance between the Anlin and Lin families, even if he is the enemy of the four major families at the same time, he is not afraid." Don't forget, this time it was not Li Qihuang who was wrong, but these families who wanted to fight the idea of poplar forest. Who gave them the right to privately besiege and kill Poplar Forest? If Poplar Forest openly admitted that he was a member of the Li clan in the Holy Capital, it would be a crime of rebellion. Therefore, these people seem to be weakening Li Qihuang's secrets, but they are actually the opportunity to achieve his prestige. When the time comes, both public and private, the Great Elder Qingyang will have to stand on the side of the Li clan in the Holy Capital. ”

An Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, "Then~ Then other families should also be able to understand this, why do you want to wade into this troubled water?"

An Youdao smiled bitterly, "Except for the Lin family, who really wants to kill the poplar forest, the other families are just for different interests, otherwise my father would not have sent me to try his best to stop it." ”

An Ruoxi's heart moved, "Do they want to ~ force the Great Elder Qingyang to come forward to deterre?"

An Youdao nodded helplessly, "The Great Elder of Qingyang disappeared after breaking through the Heavenly Realm, and even asked his father to resign from the post of Supervisor with a handwritten letter, which caused all the families to be suspicious, and I don't know what the Great Elder Qingyang is inclined to do. Presumably, Li Qihuang also wants to take this opportunity to let the Great Elder Qingyang express his attitude, otherwise the people's hearts will be unstable and the government decree will not work, and everyone will be resentful. Actually, my father asked me to intervene to stop it, and I thought it would be better to have a complete outbreak. ”

Gong Zhanshan listened silently, he had never thought about this, and now after listening to An Youdao's analysis, Gong Zhanshan realized that some things could not be made up. After all, the Great Elder Qingyang was in too much of a hurry, and he didn't have time to deal with these at all. If he can hold out until the time of the pilgrimage, all crises will disappear. It's a pity that the elder Qingyang is already old, and he is not the peak of the ninth level of the earth grade, and after withdrawing the full force of the Martial Emperor, he has no power to persist in the Chaohe of the various families. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hid in the Elders' Pavilion to continue his last life.

An Youdao looked at Gong Zhanshan and suddenly asked, "Brother Zhanshan, do you think the Great Elder Qingyang will come forward?"

Gong Zhanshan was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart Why don't you ask your father about this, he won't tell you, what can I do. I can't tell you that the two Great Elders are gone, and I can't afford to leak it out.

Gong Zhanshan pretended to smile calmly, "Brother An, the stability of the Luofeng Domain can't all be pressed on Qingyang Elder Zhang, his old man doesn't come forward, it is estimated that he is testing whether the domain master and the major families have the ability to solve it." If you think about it, the Great Elder Qingyang must be very old, and if he says something disrespectful, if the lamp is gone, will the Luofeng Domain become a hell and kill each other? I think that the Qingyang Great Elder deliberately avoided it, just to let the Luofeng Domain have a transitional stage. With the help of the opportunity that the Great Elder can also deter the outside of the domain, let the Luofeng Domain run in, and then the same enemy will not be destroyed by the external enemy. ”

An Youdao's eyes lit up, Gong Zhanshan's statement was very novel, "Brother Zhanshan, don't say it, maybe the Great Elder Qingyang really has this kind of thought." ”

An Ruoxi said anxiously, "No matter what the Great Elder thinks, but Big Brother, you have to leave Mocheng, and our An family will not participate in this trip to the troubled waters." You are injured, and Zhanshan and I will not be at ease if you stay in Meaux. Besides, Zong Ze's old thief already has news, and Zong Ze will leave after I settle the matter with Zhanshan. As for the poplar forest, if the Lin family wants to fight to the death, then let the two of them fight. ”

An Youdao smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, I know what to do." Eat a trench and grow wise, don't think about the eldest brother so badly. ”

An Youdao said and looked at Gong Zhanshan, "Brother Zhanshan, Zong Ze's cultivation is not shallow, if you don't wait for another day or two, I will fight with you." ”

As soon as Gong Zhanshan was about to refuse, he saw a guard hurriedly running in, "Prince Qiyu, I just received the news that the head of the Hu family in the city was assassinated, and the second lord of the Sun family in Changyang City was also assassinated. ”

An Youdao was shocked in his heart, it didn't matter if the second master of the Sun family in Changyang City was there, but the head of the Hu family in Panyu City was assassinated, which was not a trivial matter.

"Who is the person in charge of the Hu family now?"

"Zhang Zhe, the commander of the Hu family's guards. ”

An Youdao looked at Gong Zhanshan and the others and said, "You wait here first, I'll take a look, and the Hu family must not be impulsive." ”

Gong Zhanshan hurriedly said, "Brother An, I think you'd better listen to Ruoxi and leave Mocheng as soon as possible." Zong Ze, don't worry, the four of us will not have an accident if we join forces. In addition, Ruoxi and I went to He's house, and it was not safe for Guo Zizan to stay there. ”

An Youdao was worried that the people of the Hu family would kill the poplar forest in anger, and he didn't dare to delay time, so he could only comfort Ruoxi and leave quickly. As soon as they walked here, An Ruoxi nervously grabbed Gong Zhanshan's arm, "Zhanshan, should we follow the eldest brother to take a look?"

Gong Zhanshan comforted softly, "Don't worry, that killer shot one after another today, and if he doesn't hide at this time, then he will be a fool." Let's go, go and see Guo Zizan's kid, Zong Ze is not easy to deal with, for the sake of safety, I have to let Zizan have some blood. ”

Gong Zhanshan took An Ruoxi to He's house, but to their surprise, He Dazhuang's father actually said that the Guo family had quietly taken Zizan away. Gong Zhanshan originally left him in Mocheng just to wait for the opportunity to extort a few talisman orders, but he didn't expect this guy to slip away quickly. Don't you know, Guo Zizan didn't want to leave, and almost became the bait to lure Gong Zhanshan to appear.

At this time, outside the poplar forest in Mocheng in the Luofeng Domain, piles of bonfires were lit. Lin Cheng ordered people to buy wine and meat, and was drinking happily with the people who came to study tomorrow's attack countermeasures.

For the warriors, they could return to Mocheng and come back tomorrow, but Lin Chengjing was worried that the thieves hiding in the Poplar Palace would flee overnight, and they had already spread their hands to block this area. Once someone warns, Lin Chengjing and the others will immediately rush over and kill them.

In the night, a figure rushed towards the poplar forest. Duan Hai does not fly with wings, he likes to shuttle in the dark, just as Gong Zhanshan likes the jungle, Duan Hai has a special sensitivity to the dark.

Duan Hai originally wanted to stay in Mocheng for two more days, but there was no longer any goal for him in Mocheng. The assassination of An Youdao failed, and Duan Hai knew that it would be difficult to find a suitable opportunity again. The Chang family has been evacuated, and most of the families have come to the poplar forest except for the Hu family.

Outside the poplar forest, Duan Hai looked at the piles of burning bonfires from a distance, with a dark red in his eyes, as if a hungry wolf smelled blood, which made him excited.

"In the darkness of the night, we are the masters of all life. ”

Duan Hai smiled and took out a bamboo whistle, and just as he was about to summon the hidden killer in the Poplar Palace, his heart suddenly moved, and a spiritual fire flew towards him. Duan Hai stretched out his hand to take the spirit book and dodged continuously, and vigilantly hid in an extremely dark place.

"Domain Master Order?"

In the middle of the night, Duan Hai's eyes exuded a faint blue, and the handwriting on the handbook was clear. After reading it, Duan Hai shook the spirit book into dust and silently put away the bamboo whistle. Since the domain lord did not allow him to kill and gave the order to evacuate, although Duan Hai was not convinced, he could only carry it out. However, before leaving, these people have to pay some price, Li Qihuang will not let the killing, but killing one or two people is not a violation of the order.

Duan Hai targeted Lin Chengjing, don't look at him as a fourth-level powerhouse, Duan Hai believed that he could be killed with seventy percent certainty in the dark night. As long as Lin Chengjing dies, it will be an extremely heavy price for the Lin family. It can also deter other families from letting them know that Poplar Forest is not something that anyone can offend.

Duan Hai hid in the shadows and waited silently, and it was not until the early hours of the morning that Duan Hai took action. He locked on a Xuanpin-level Lin Mansion guard on the periphery, and after a while, Duan Hai, who was wearing the clothes of the Lin family's guard, swayed towards the camp as if he was drunk. Even his face was somewhat familiar with the Lin family's guard who had just been hunted.

Duan Hai soon came to the grass hut that Lin Chengjing had temporarily erected, and no one around him cared about a drunken Lin Mansion guard. Duan Hai listened vigilantly, flicked his fingers, and flicked the dust left by Madame Bai into it. After ten breaths, Duan Hai held his breath, and his figure flashed in.
