After moving into the inn, the doors of the three rooms were never opened.

Chen Qingniu was meditating and refining the Yuan Stone, Lin Muzhi naturally couldn't practice swords in the room, and after being pulled aside by Lu Buwei and saying something that was neither nutritious nor interesting, the two fell asleep one after another.

It was late at night.

Chen Qingniu opened his eyes, the Yuan Stone in his hand was already dim, even so, he did not throw it away, but put it into the storage bag again, among which there were already several Yuan Stones that had also lost their color and the aura of heaven and earth, which were in stark contrast to the pile of colorful stones.

Huang Fu's feeling was obviously right.

Chen Qingniu also felt a trace of abnormality, the more refined his cultivation became, the clearer the sense in the dark would be for some things that would happen or were already happening related to him, and he felt that tonight would not be too ordinary.

Obviously, this was also the reason why after Lu Lin and the others slept, he withdrew from his cultivation state and stood alone in front of the window.

But all great cultivators have the ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

Today's Chen Qingniu has naturally not reached the point where he responds to the world, so he is just waiting, when he goes out, there are always some things that some people will come to the door by themselves, and those who should not come will not come, and they can't hide from what they should dodge.

Outside the inn, in the two dark alleys, there are two teams of people who are already ready to go.

The two teams had never known each other and had never crossed paths, but they clearly had the same goal and came from the same person's arrangement.

Xu Shizhi, the second eldest member of the Xu family, a man who has made most people in Xu City suffer, and the people of the Gongsun family and the Zhao family are even more gritted their teeth when they mention this person, one of the reasons is this Xu Shizhi's means.

At this time, although these two teams of people were also wearing night clothes and covering their faces, even any Jianghu people in Xu Cheng could find evidence from these two teams of people that they "represented the family", and obviously, these evidences could not necessarily show that they were members of the Gongsun family or the Zhao family, but they could make people suspicious.

And that's enough.

False and real, true and false, in fact, it is more believable than what the eldest brother Xu Shiquan said that there is no proof of death.

The three brothers of the Xu family, the eldest Xu Shiquan, the second Xu Shizhi, and the third Xu Shiwu, seem to be in the same spirit, but it is also in external affairs, in fact, in the family, there are still many times when there is discord.

The so-called deep brotherhood is just in the eyes of outsiders, and Xu Shizhi, as an authority, knows better.

The boss, sitting in the position of the current city lord of Xucheng, and the head of the family, has always pursued a principle, the overall situation, and everything must be both the best.

It's just that, in Xu Shizhi's view, how can the world have the best of both worlds, take tonight's incident as an example, even if that young monk really sprinkled the fire on the heads of the Gongsun family and the Zhao family in the end, he Xu Shiquan would definitely be able to befriend him? Why do people believe you, just because you let the reckless third child lead a group of city guards to pass by, and then happened to help the young man arrest the murderer of his companions?

Of course, these Xu Shizhi are just hidden in his heart, the hope of the eldest brother Xu Shiquan is also his hope, Xu Cheng has been a three-legged situation over the years, although on the surface it is his Xu family that is the biggest, both the position of the city lord and the regular city guards of the imperial court, and there are two peak monks of the Qi Induction Realm and an innate martial artist, but the fact is so, he knows better than anyone else.

Not to mention that there are five innate martial artists in the three generations of the Gongsun family, let's just say that the Zhao family, which has only risen in Xucheng in recent years, is enough to deter the entire Xucheng by the old immortal Zhao Yu'an, who is at the peak of the Yuanhai realm, not to mention, because of the imperial court, in fact, the Xu family has very little say in the rivers and lakes, but the other two are already in full swing in the rivers and lakes.

Speaking of the third brother Xu Shiwu, that man seems to be naïve, but growing up together, Xu Shizhi doesn't know how this third brother who takes the path of martial arts cultivation is actually much more shrewd than the eldest brother Xu Shiquan, any great wisdom and foolishness are just deceptive nonsense, Xu Shiwu's city is actually better than him Xu Shizhi, and even more than that.

After a while, the two black-clothed men walked up to Xu Shizhi one after another and said respectfully: "My lord, the two teams have been deployed, and they can do it at any time." ”

Hearing this, Xu Shizhi, who had been looking heavy, was a little better, he looked at the sky, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was already past the hour, at this time, if the group of people who didn't even have their names to make a move, it would undoubtedly be the most appropriate time, if it was delayed.

However, Xiao is like this, Xu Shizhi did not immediately issue an order, because, no matter what he thinks, tonight's incident is the eldest brother's idea, and he must wait for the third brother Xu Shiwu to make arrangements, so that these people can make a move, otherwise even if the matter is properly arranged, the young man really suspects the other two heads, if he can't give his eldest brother, who is the city lord, a chance to befriend him, with this eldest brother's temper, then this matter can only be said to be a waste of success.

The wait is undoubtedly long, but in fact it has not been long.

The alley in the distance was brightly lit, and there was the sound of horses' hooves, and Xu Shizhi knew that the time had come.

I saw a wave of his big hand, and the two black-clothed people beside him took orders one after another, these two people were both half-step innate realm martial artists, and Xu Shizhi's order to the two was to ensure that none of those under his command would survive tonight when they must complete the original task, just like Xu Shiquan's order to Xu Shizhi.

Seeing the two leaving, Xu Shizhi's face gradually turned cold in the empty alley, these two people were actually not his Xu Shizhi's descendants, but the people under the hands of his eldest brother Xu Shiquan.

However, two half-step innate martial artists, even in a family like the Xu family, are only dozens of people, but the eldest brother took out two of them to die without any distress, which is not difficult to see his eldest brother's determination to win over the young man.

"What's the matter, what does my eldest brother know that my third brother and I don't know?"

No one can give him an answer to this question.

However, he is obviously not the only one who thinks of this problem, Xu Shiwu, who has always appeared in front of the Xu family with his strength and unskillful planning, has actually thought of it a long time ago.

Therefore, he led a group of city patrol guards who seemed to be walking towards the inn without stopping, but in fact he was walking very slowly.

With his cleverness, he naturally knows some things that outsiders don't know, for example, Li Wang, the deputy commander of the guards guarding the city, is actually the descendant of the second brother Xu Shizhi.

Since the eldest brother took Li Wang in front of the three brothers, in fact, polishing and polishing that guard is fake, what he really wants to do is to remind him and the second child that there is nothing in this city that he does not know.

But is this really the case? Can a person really know everything?

Xu Shiwu raised his hand, and nearly a hundred city guards behind him stopped one after another.

Xu Shiwu ordered: "Start searching from here." ”

The guards scattered and searched the surrounding houses, but no one knew what they were searching for, and no one saw what they had really found.

Outside the inn, the two teams had already infiltrated one after another, and since it was an ambush, it was obvious that both teams had already obtained quite detailed information.

Their purpose is quite clear, that is, Chen Qingniu and his party of seven people, who can be killed, will be killed.

So, at the same time, the two teams kicked open the doors of two different rooms at the same time, and without saying anything, they rushed in.

It's just that no matter which team of people rushed into the room, they were slightly stunned.

In the room of Chen Qingniu and others.

Lu Lin and the others had already woken up, in fact, the two of them had not really slept to death, Lu Buwei, as an innate martial artist, naturally had the same induction as Chen Qingniu, and Lin Muzhi, no one knew how he knew.

Lu Buwei glanced at Chen Qingniu, who was standing in front of the window early, and said, "I said Qingniu, you wouldn't have known that there would be such a thing and deliberately waited there, right?"

Chen Qingniu was indeed waiting, but judging from the expression on his face, he was obviously a little disappointed, because the dozen or so black-clothed people seemed to be menacing, but in fact they were all just martial artists who had entered the realm.

He found an excuse and said: "You guys deal with it, Yue'er is just a first-class martial artist, I'll go and see the situation on Yue'er's side." ”

After speaking, Chen Qingniu came out of the window and came to the roof of the inn, he did not really go to Jin Yue'er's room, but came to the highest place with the widest view of the inn, and sat down.

Now that Jin Yue'er is a first-order spiritual cultivator, even if he starts with him, he will not necessarily be at a disadvantage, not to mention a dozen martial artists who have entered the current realm, even if they come to a few first-order cultivators, they may not come back, he is not too worried about his comfort.

He came to the roof just to see if he could find the shadow of some secret people, passing through here, staying at the inn for the night, a group of black-clothed men with sharp weapons suddenly broke in, this seems not to be accidental, but premeditated.

Seeing that Chen Qingniu was gone, Lin Muzhi couldn't help but say that he had already pulled out the ordinary iron sword that he would hold in his arms even when he slew, and asked Lu Buwei: "Brother Lu, how do you divide it?"

Looking at the hint of battle intent in Lin Muzhi's eyes, Lu Buwei smiled and said, "Why don't you give it all to you?"

"Okay!" Lin Muzhi held his sword and rushed out against the group of black-clothed people.

Lu Buwei, who was left aside, looked a little embarrassed, couldn't this brother of his nature be born to joke?

Let's talk about the room where Huang Fu and the others were.

When the group of black-clothed people who "represented the Zhao family" rushed into the room, they only saw that the two old men were actually drinking with a strong man.

The man seemed to be drunk.

Therefore, the man seemed a little unhappy about the sudden intrusion of someone, and without waiting for the group of black-clothed people to make a move, the man pounced on the black-clothed people like a beast.

Fortunately, although the man's martial arts are not bad, he is only at the level of second-rate martial artists, and this group of black-clothed people was startled at first, and soon, they repelled the man.

However, just when the black-clothed men repelled the nonsense of using alcohol to commit murder, Huang Fu and Zhu Yanzhang had already shot at the same time.

One is a master comparable to a first-class martial artist, and the other is a real first-class master, and even, even compared to their leader.

These two old men are different from the five big and three rough men, every time they make a move, they are extremely sophisticated and go straight to the point.

This has already shocked this group of people in black, and the intelligence said that these three people are not just horsemen driving cars, how can they be so skilled?

But thinking of this, they are already very glad that their team came to this room and not the next room, just imagine, the three chariot grooms are so skilled, and they are all masters in the rivers and lakes, so those few young people who are qualified to ride the carriage, aren't they all in the innate realm?

In fact, they obviously guessed wrong, there was only one person who entered the innate realm, and now, standing behind them, blocking the door.

Chen Qingniu took the opportunity to leave, and after Lin Muzhi stopped the "heavy responsibility" alone, Lu Buwei did the same.

At this moment, he leaned against the door, put on a rather sassy posture, and said to Huang Fu and the three people in the battle: "Uncle Fu, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Hu, do you want your nephew to take a hand?"

When the three of them heard this, there were no outsiders, so they didn't give the young owner of Feiyan Sword Village any face, and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, you want to wait for my two old guys to die before you make a move, right? Believe it or not, I'll give your father a small report when I go back?"

Lu Buwei touched his nose and smiled a little wryly.

This gap seems to be a bit big, in front of Chen Qingniu, who can still become the future son-in-law of Feiyan Sword Village, the three of you are respectful, in front of me, the owner of the real young village, you are, don't I Lu want to lose face?

In fact, he really didn't want to save face, even if he didn't have to say anything to the three of them, he had already made a move.

There is no way, Chen Qingniu is a dignified blood wolf, if there is no Chen Qingniu, their Feiyan Sword Village would have moved to Beiyang City hundreds of miles away, and if there is such a person as a brother, what kind of temper can he have.

In the darkness not far away, a man is hiding in a darker shadow, and this person is Xu Shizhi.

His current position has an extremely wide field of vision, and it is not easy to be exposed, and he can see everything that happens in the inn more clearly.

He saw that in one room, a young man with a long sword was like an afterimage walking through the group of black-clothed people who "represented the Gongsun family", and the sword was extremely fast, leaving only a cold light every time the sword was released, and then, it would take the life of a man in black.

He saw again that in the other room, the three ordinary-looking chariot grooms turned out to be masters of the rivers and lakes, especially the two old guys who seemed to be powerless, they were even a few points stronger than the strong man, and one of them was no worse than the two half-step innate realm martial artists that the eldest brother was willing to throw out in the afternoon.

However, what shocked him even more was the seemingly unruly young man who suddenly appeared in the second room, this young man turned out to be a real Innate Realm martial artist, just made a random move, and killed all the second team of black-clothed people.

In fact, Xu Shizhi was already a little anxious.

His young lady's is not the death of these two teams of black-clothed people, they will die, it is inevitable, what he is anxious about is that the third brother Xu Shiwu has not appeared yet.

This is a bit out of their plan, no matter how the three brothers are at odds with each other, but after all, this is a major matter for the other two families in Xu Cheng, and it is planned by the eldest brother who is the city lord himself, this matter has already deviated from the control, if the third brother does not appear, then the hope of befriending the young man will be dashed.

But fortunately, when the last man in black fell, Xu Shiwu, who was searching all the way along the way, still appeared outside the inn with a group of city patrol guards.

The inn is just a small inn, where has the big proprietor seen such a formation, he has already been scared to the point of urine, and he sent silver and said good things and begged for mercy: "The official still wants to raise his noble hand, and the small one dare not hide the suspect privately!"

Where would Xu Shiwu listen to half of his words, and with a wave of his big hand, the city guards scattered one after another.

Soon, the bodies of the group of black-clothed people were searched, and of course, Chen Qingniu and his party came out.

Xu Shiwu was also quite surprised when he saw that none of these people were injured. But no matter how surprised he was, he still had to act according to the plan of his eldest brother Xu Shiwu, and said sharply: "This group of people in black, but you are waiting to kill?"

If it was in the past, in the face of Xu Shiwu's tone, Chen Qingniu would naturally say what it is, what is it.

But now, he didn't answer as if he already knew Xu Shiwu's thoughts, but asked, "Dare to ask your lordship, but do you know the identities of these black-clothed people?"

"Someone!" Xu Shiwu also did not answer, and he deliberately turned pale when Chen Qingniu ignored his questioning, and waved his hand again, "Tear off this group of face towels and search carefully to see if it is someone we are looking after." ”

As a result, the face towels on the faces of this group of black-clothed people were torn off one after another, and several people were cut off by Lin Muzhi because of their heads, and they really couldn't see anything just by looking at their heads, so they simply took off their black clothes directly.

"Hey, this person actually has the mark of the house slave of the Gongsun family on his body!"

"This is the Zhao family's unique token!"

"My lord, seven have been found, and they are the suspects in the last murder outside the city. ”

Suddenly, several guards dragged the seven corpses in front of Xu Shiwu.

Of course, whether it is rhetoric or what, these are all arranged by Xu Shiwu in advance, the first two sentences are for the unintentional, and the latter suspect is the main thing and the real thing.

What often makes people suspicious is not what you see, but what you don't know.

Xu Shiwu saw the seven corpses, because Chen Qingniu was rude and his face softened slightly, and he hugged his fists at Chen Qingniu and the others: "Everyone, Fang is Xu's tone, these seven people are all murderers who fled into the city after committing murders outside the city half a month ago, killing dozens of people in a row, Xu has been searching for these people in the whole city, and today there is news that this group will appear in this inn, this is the ......"

"In any case, since the suspect has been found, it should be a chivalrous act for you to kill these people tonight. ”

Xu Shiwu laughed: "After all, in the final analysis, it is not good for Xu to do things, otherwise how can these young people be allowed to enter the city." ”

Chen Qingniu also smiled and said, "That is the case, Lord Xu, can I go with you and make some confession records?"

"No need!" Xu Shiwu waved his hand, "If heroic deeds are still treated like this, so many pairs of eyes in the inn are watching, doesn't it seem that Xu Mou is very hungry......?"

"These corpses Xu still have to be taken away, and my subordinates have found some clues on these people, and they must be brought back for careful investigation. ”

Chen Qingniu didn't say much, and said, "Lord Xu has worked hard, farewell!"

When Xu Shiwu left with a group of city patrol guards wearing black armor, the inn had already exploded.

"It turns out that the suspect in the incident outside the city a few days ago is really hiding in our city. ”

"Yes, I didn't expect to appear in our inn tonight, if it weren't for those masters just now, I'm afraid we would ...... tonight."

"By the way, did you just hear that most of those people in black are from the Gongsun family and the Zhao family. ”

Walking on the way back to the room, listening to the discussions of the people in the rivers and lakes behind him, Chen Qingniu suddenly smiled and asked the others: "What do you think of tonight's events?"

Lu Buwei was the second person other than Chen Qingniu to feel it, of course he understood what Chen Qingniu meant, so he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and said, "That can only be said to be a coincidence that the book is not written." ”

Yes, no book is written without coincidence, how can the rest of the people still not understand the meaning of this sentence.
