Twenty years later, Qiaodong Village, Main Street.

A man dressed in blue sat on the second floor of the teahouse, stirring the tea leaves in his arms with a silver needle, and listening to the storyteller downstairs.

He's waiting.

"The master of non-dipping is elusive, and the five apprentices are also extraordinary. The eldest disciple Wang Ziqing, nicknamed the hair does not stick to the frost, but can twist his fingers to make fire; the second disciple Ma Weiliang, nicknamed the eyes do not touch the light, but can see things in the dark; the third disciple Lou Yiming, nicknamed Ye Buzhi, is like a phantom; the fourth disciple Cheng Jingzhi, nicknamed the ground without blood, and the marksmanship is superb; the fifth disciple Wu Ma Xin, the nickname does not touch the sky, and the silver needle kills people invisibly. The storyteller woke up and patted the wood, and the spit flew sideways, "Just say that this place is not stained with blood, Cheng Jingzhi is the most famous killer in Jinzhou, and every time he kills, he must lay a white cloth before killing, and never let a drop of blood fall on the ground......"

At this moment, a shout came from outside the door: "Pei Fu has killed someone." The tea guests dispersed. There is a lively look at who still listens to the book.

The teahouse owner glared at the storyteller: "You say something fresh, like the war of the five clans, breaking the gong and asking for your life or something, who likes to listen to the old man's old sesame seeds and rotten grains." ”

"Okay, next time, next ......" Before the storyteller finished speaking, even the teahouse owner was gone. The storyteller snorted and ran out with him.

In front of the door with red lacquered gold nails stood a young man carrying a white cloth on his right shoulder, with long hair and a shawl, his face as pale as a scholar who stayed up all night studying, and a spear in his left hand, which was also pale under a long gray cloth robe.

The scorching midday sun in July makes the reflection of the door nails even more dazzling, but it doesn't stop the villagers who like to watch the excitement build pergolas and point their fingers.

"What is that person doing? Come to Mr. Pei's mansion to sell cloth?"

"You know what, this man is a killer, nicknamed 'The Ground Doesn't Stain Blood', and I've heard that he has never missed. ”

"So powerful?"

"Isn't it, many rich and noble sons in the town have been killed recently, and I'm afraid it's time for Pei Mansion to be unlucky today. ”

"I said that I was looking for Pei Qing, the third young master of the Pei family, and I didn't know who I had offended. ”

"Who can he offend? ”

Everyone shook their heads.

Cheng Jingzhi didn't speak, his left hand secretly poked the spear on the ground, took off the white cloth from his shoulder, tore it and spread it on the ground.

Although a few guards usually act as a prestige, they didn't dare to provoke such a master, and hurriedly rushed into the mansion to report.

The third young master, Pei Qing, was wearing a white brocade robe embroidered with gold threads, and sat on the Taishi chair in the middle of the council hall and drank tea. Pei Mansion at this time the scenery is infinite, the eldest prince Pei Hong served in the red-robed army, the most mysterious organization in Duanguo, and the second son Pei Feng married Wei Mingmo, the daughter of King Nu who guarded the state. Pei Jiutian went to the Nu Wang's Mansion to discuss matters, and deliberately left him in the mansion to take charge, which was not only to exercise but also to establish prestige. Once Pei Feng becomes the son-in-law of King Nu, his future is limitless, so he naturally will not stay in the small Shuhe Town, which will eventually be handed over to Pei Qing to take care of.

In the past, when Pei Feng replaced Pei Jiutian in charge, he never dared to sit on the Taishi chair in the middle, and he always sat at the bottom of the meeting, and Pei Qing was so pampered and arrogant, which made Pei Zhonghai, the old housekeeper sitting at the head of the east, a little dissatisfied in his heart. There was a dark-faced and unsmiling man sitting at the head of the west, with a body of muscles that was terrifying, it was Ji Kun, the leader of the courtyard ghosts. Yu Jiwu and Chang An both followed Pei Jiutian to the Nu Mansion, leaving only Ji Kun and a group of masters to take care of the mansion.

Pei Zhonghai pointed to the lotus-shaped red spots on Pei Qing's face and asked, "Third Young Master, what's wrong with your face?"

"Oh, this one. Pei Qing said with a smile, "Chang An taught me the secret technique, painting lotus flowers on the face with red powder can eliminate disasters and take refuge, and my skills have increased greatly, and even the position is fixed, I don't dare to be bad at all." ”

"Hiss......" Pei Zhonghai frowned, but he didn't say anything.

"Third Young Master, housekeeper, Chief Ji, please be happy to everyone. The guard who ran in hurriedly reported, "There was a person outside the door who was carrying a white cloth and claimed to be Cheng Jingzhi, and he wanted to see the third young master by name." ”

"Someone who asks for food will also come and ask me, give him a few dollars to leave the cloth, and send it away. Pei Qing said disappreciably.

Pei Zhonghai is over sixty years old and has a high level of seniority in the house. He watched Pei Qing grow up, and he originally admired this third young master, but in the past month, he couldn't help but be disappointed, after all, he was still a young master. It's a trivial matter, seeing that he didn't know how to treat the killer as a flower who sang a happy song and ate a big family, Pei Zhonghai reluctantly took over the conversation, and didn't let the guard who reported the incident continue: "Third young master, the person Xiao Liuzi said is not a flower who sells cloth, but a killer in the town, I don't know who instructed him to come to our house to find something awkward." ”

"Killer?" Pei Qing was stunned for a moment, and then became excited. When Pei Jiutian left, he said that he would take care of himself, but there was not even a bird in front of the door these days, and a killer fell from the sky at this time, which was a great opportunity to prove himself, "You go with me, I want to see who is so bold and dares to spread wild in front of Pei's mansion." ”

"Third Young Master, you are the person in charge, how can anyone who wants to see him can see him, it is better to let Ji Kun go and send him away. Pei Zhonghai hurriedly got up and said.

"A market fanatic, dare to come to Pei's Mansion to spread wilderness, if I don't dare to go, wouldn't it make people laugh. Ji Kun, order the ghosts of the courtyard to follow me to see. Pei Qing said, and added in a weird way, "Cough, if the old housekeeper is afraid, just rest in the mansion." ”

Pei Qing strode out, everyone was helpless, so they all had to follow, Pei Zhonghai shook his head, and also got up and walked out.

As soon as everyone walked to the door, an injured courtyard ghost ran to Pei Qing, and said with a rabbit-like tooth: "Third young master, something is wrong, someone sneaked into the secret room in the mansion and stole something wrapped in tiger skin. ”

"It's not good, I've fallen for their trick to turn the tiger away from the mountain. Pei Qing secretly shouted badly, the provocation of the person in front of him was fake, and it was true that he wanted to steal the tiger skin brocade box. Pei Jiutian regarded this brocade box as his life, and if he lost it at this time, then his position in Pei Jiutian's heart would be in jeopardy.

"Ji Kun, you immediately take someone to retrieve the stolen things. Pei Qing hurriedly turned his head and ordered.

"Third young master, by all means, the master will explain when he leaves, let Ji be sure to ensure your safety, and you can't leave an inch. Ji Kun didn't move, he stood in place and clenched his fists.

"You dare not listen to me?"

Ji didn't dare, the third young master's order should be obeyed, but the old man's explanation before leaving did not dare to disobey. ”

"Bold, do you know how important that thing is, in case of a mistake, this young master will not die a hundred times is not enough. Pei Qing's eyes were split, "When the master is leaving, I am authorized to be in charge, if you dare to disobey the order, believe it or not, I will deal with it immediately according to the rules of the government!"

"This ......" Ji Kun peeked at the old butler. Pei Zhonghai is Pei Jiutian's henchman, how could he not know the importance of the tiger skin brocade box, and nodded secretly.

"Yes, Ji obeyed. Ji Kun said, and said to several strong men in silk and black clothes on both sides: "Wei Zhen, Bai Pu, Yingbu, Liu Gao, the four of you protect the third young master, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Yes, Chief. The four agreed. They have all won rankings in Duanguo's "life and death fight", and they have done a good job.

Ji Kun waved his hand to summon a few henchmen and ghosts, turned around and followed the person who reported the incident and ran quickly towards the backyard.

The lion and tiger knocker on the gate of Pei's mansion sounded, and a team of people walked out, the front was Pei Qing, Pei Zhonghai on the left was wearing a navy robe, and dozens of black-clothed courtyard ghosts behind were lined up on both sides.

Pei Zhonghai coughed and said in a deep voice: "Who are you instructed by, and what do you want?"

"The killer doesn't ask about the owner's family affairs, but only asks for half-hanging money to eliminate the disaster. Cheng Jingzhi glanced up at the red spots on Pei Qing's face, and lowered his head to level the white cloth on the ground unhurriedly, without a single crease, as if he was making a work of art.

Pei Zhonghai said angrily: "I don't care who your owner is, but do you know what kind ......of place this is, dare to go wild here?!

"Don't care!" Pei Qinghou hurriedly interrupted Pei Zhonghai's words, for fear that Cheng Jingzhi would run away, and roared angrily, "The bold fanatic dares to spread wild on Grandpa's territory, come here, kill him for me!"

Before the words fell, I saw a flash of white light, and Pei Qing had already fallen on the white cloth. Cheng Jingzhi pulled out the spear hard, and all the blood splattered fell on the white cloth, one of which seemed to have life, rolled and jumped on the white cloth a few times, and turned into a blood-red beetle and flew away.

In Pei Qing's unbelievable gaze, the old housekeeper and his cronies were so stunned that they didn't even turn their heads.

Everyone in the audience gasped, Cheng Jingzhi pulled the corner of the white cloth and wiped the head of the gun, rolled the white cloth on his shoulder, and turned to leave.

On the right side of the main street, on the second floor of a teahouse, a man dressed in blue leaned against the railing, his sword eyebrows were heroic, and his pupils flashed with a light blue light, staring at everything that was happening below.

Cheng Jingzhi raised his hand, slapped his palm with the man in blue in the air, and quickly disappeared into the corner of the street.

......

In the backyard of Pei's Mansion, a man in green who was as thin and tall as a bamboo pole jumped up and down with a tiger skin wrap, and the ghost in the courtyard was panting and waving knives and guns, but he couldn't touch the corner of the man's clothes at all.

"Bold thief, Pei Mansion is not a place for you to spread wild!" Ji Kun roared and punched him. The man in green saw that he was not good, put away his previous playful expression, flew up to a big tree, tapped the branches with his feet, and as the leaves fell to the ground behind him, his body flickered and moved, but he didn't even touch any leaves.

Ji Kun couldn't help but be taken aback, such a beautiful light work, like a feather...... No, chicken feathers flutter in the wind.

After a few struggles, the man in green shook his body, threw the tiger skin package forward, floated out of the house, and stammered and shouted: "You guys are so big for this, this, such a night pot, it's a lot of effort, and you dare to call yourself big, big, big family, laughing, laughing dead." The green shadow flickered a few times in the alley and vanished.

In the tiger skin wrap lies a night pot inlaid with gold and jade.

"Oops, it's a trick!" Ji Kun suddenly reacted, hurriedly handed over the tiger skin and the night pot to the courtyard ghost, and flew towards the mansion gate.

The scene in front of the door made him petrified directly. When Pei Qing was lying on the white cloth for a long time, Cheng Jingzhi didn't know where to go, but the old housekeeper and a group of courtyard ghosts stood stunned, like a group of wood carved clay sculptures.

Ji Kun was shocked and angry, and scolded: "You waste, you can't even deal with a white-faced scholar, what kind of dead people are you pretending to be here." ”

Ji Kun jumped like thunder, raised his hand and slapped Wei Zhen who was nearby, but Wei Zhen didn't move at all, his eyes were still looking straight ahead, and his expression was very painful. Ji Kun calmed down, looked around Wei Zhen carefully, and found that there was a silver needle pierced in the middle of his back. After Ji Kun carefully removed the silver needle, Wei Zhen fell to his knees with a "plop", slapped himself wildly, and scolded damned. took out the silver needle, except for the old housekeeper Pei Zhonghai, everyone else knelt on the ground and trembled, and the front of the mansion was black.

"Collect the corpse and go back!" Pei Zhonghai was shocked and angry, his face was red and white for a while, and he finally stabilized his breath, and turned around and entered the mansion after leaving this sentence.

When Fu Bing heard the news, he rushed in and out of Pei's mansion and made a report to arrest people.

The soldiers of Duanguo are all dressed in yellow, and there is a force mud bead engraved with a charm on their chest, which is said to be invulnerable by pinching and exploding, so it is called a rune soldier.

On the teahouse on the main street, the people who watched the excitement dispersed one after another, and the man in blue stood up and was about to leave, but was blocked by a graceful woman in yellow: "What, after plotting against people, you want to leave after eating and wiping?"
