Chapter 13: The Shadow of the Devil

The architectural layout of the interior of the Xiang Mansion is basically the same as that of other families, and it is also divided into two courtyards, the inner and the outer courtyards. The outer courtyard provides the daily residence of the guards, the corners of the inner courtyard are inhabited by servants and maids, and the main courtyard of the inner courtyard is where the families live.

However, because the family lived together and the population was large, each family residence occupied a large area of the city. The general family members will establish their own doors in the mansion, so that the pattern of the mansion within the mansion is formed.

However, in order to facilitate the freedom of entry and exit, the entire mansion is lined with a main entrance, three side doors, two back doors and a secret passage, which shows how large the industrial position of these families in the city is.

At this time, Hua Chunqiu and the others had all hidden in the small alley outside the main gate of the Xiangfu, quietly waiting for the last wave of servants to go out to inspect every day and start moving.

The alley, which was not spacious in the first place, was full of black-clothed killers at this time, and they didn't make a sound, they were as dead and silent as ghosts, but they were full of the aura of killing.

"How is it, what's going on in the Xiang Mansion?" Hua Chunqiu asked the spy in a low voice.

"The lights in the Xiangfu have basically been turned off, and there is no movement." The spy replied.

"Brother Cheng, how is your arrangement?" Hua Chunqiu nodded after listening to the spies' report, and asked the city lord again.

"Don't worry, I will send more than 240 people from the west and east to attack from both sides, and send 100 henchmen to ambush outside the Xiangfu Mansion to guard, once someone escapes from the mansion, the ambush will definitely not survive." The city lord said about his arrangement.

"Good. Second brother, you take 300 Deadpool to sneak into the Xiangfu from the north gate, and leave 50 people outside the door, according to the time, and give you half an hour to prepare. When the time comes, do it immediately and remember to leave no room for life. Hua Chunqiu turned his head to look at Dahan Dao again.

And this big man is Hua Chunchun's younger brother Hua Chundong, and he is also an inseparable person who fights with Tang Ting during the day.

"Okay, big brother, I'll go, don't forget, keep that crazy woman for me, hehe, I like a stubborn mother-in-law, there is a smell." Hua Chundong reminded Hua Chunqiu with all his might, showing a very relaxed look.

"Well, remember not to leave a living mouth." Hua Chunqiu nodded, and his tone was extremely vicious.

Half an hour is not long, but it is not short. Half an hour later is also the time when the temperature is lowest and the night is the darkest. Almost all of them have already fallen into a deep sleep at this time, and choosing to make a move at this time must be overwhelming.

In order to make this operation successful, Hua Chunqiu almost summoned all the elites in his family to pour out, and there were more than 800 people. The city lord also sent out all the elites he had secretly cultivated, and there were as many as 500 people. However, the two sides combined with more than 1,300 people, which shows the importance attached to this operation. Of course, this operation involves the future survival of all parties, and if it fails. The consequences can be imagined.

"The time has come, do it." With a cold command, he blurted out, and the black shadow behind him quickly jumped to the roof. Immediately afterwards, Xiangfu also launched actions at the same time.

"Guy, you just have to kill people, and leave things to me to find." A heartfelt laugh appeared behind Hua Chunqiu, and a black mist disappeared after the cold wind rolled up.

At the same time, the black-clothed killer infiltrated extremely quickly, and after a while, he entered the inner courtyard of the Xiang Mansion, and the cold of the hand blades came, and the Xiang Mansion was even quieter and a little weird.

"Huh?" Hua Chunqiu followed the team and entered the inner courtyard of the Xiangfu. Suddenly, there was a trace of coolness behind him, and he saw a sword shadow stabbing at his back, Hua Chunqiu reacted very quickly, and he jumped two times and dodged it.

"Hmph, there is no trace of snow treading. Hua Chunqiu, you really can't bear it. I saw a middle-aged man appear less than a foot behind him and stand, holding a power sword, and snorted coldly.

"Xiao Jiang." After Hua Chunqiu dodged the sword, he turned over, tapped the ground with his toes, and saw the person holding the power sword, Hua Chunqiu's voice was a little low. And the snow on the ground has not been stepped on without a trace, which is exactly the work of stepping on the snow without a trace.

It turned out that the person holding the power sword was Xiao Jiang, the head of the Xiao family. As for how Xiao Jiang appeared here, how could Hua Chunqiu know. Seeing that Xiao Jiang was in front of him, he said secretly: "It's not good." ”

"Hmph, it's you."

"You...... How did you end up here? Hua Chunqiu was a little dumbfounded, pointed at Xiao Jiang and asked. Because his face was covered with a black cloth, he couldn't see his expression, but Hua Chunqiu had a trace of fear in his heart.

"Hehe, you want to know?" Xiao Jiang sneered. As he spoke, the sword in his hand slowly raised, pointing directly at Hua Chunqiu's chest.

"Hmph, since you're here too, let's go to hell with Xiangfu." As he spoke, Hua Chunqiu put the cold blade in his right hand across his chest, bent his two arms forward and backward on his arms, and quickly rushed towards Xiao Jiang's position. Hua Chunqiu understood that it was useless to say more at this time, the action had already been carried out, and retreating could only lead to future destruction.

Seeing that Hua Chunqiu's posture had arrived, Xiao Jiang didn't say a word, and at the same time came with his sword, a crisp collision, making a piercing sound.

In a secret passage in Xiangfu, two black mist shadows floated in the air, and the speed seemed to be extremely slow, sometimes revealing two figures flashing, sometimes disappearing, like ghosts. And in the black mist, two mysterious black shadows are speaking human language, and listening to their conversation, it seems that they are plotting something.

"Sect Master, can you rely on that Hua Chunqiu boy, when he came in just now, there were thousands of people's resentment echoing in this mansion, I'm afraid that the Xiang Mansion has long been on guard." An eerie voice came from the black fog and asked the other figure.

"Boom, what does the life or death of those mortals have to do with me, it's just to use them as a barrier." The other voice was even more weird and gloomy, and after speaking, he continued to hum: "Hmph, if it weren't for the guys from Wu Rongshan who watched closely, there would be no need to use these mortals as cover this time." ”

"Sect Master is wise, use the mortal aura to cover up the demonic qi on our body, and those guys can't feel our existence, haha."

"But we still have to be careful, this Fenglan Four Mansions has a deep heritage, and it is not simple for a family that can survive for hundreds of years, there must be other forces behind the scenes to help."

"Well, what the sect master said is very true, then the subordinates are one step ahead." As he spoke, the black mist detached from the black mist in an instant, and disappeared into the darkness in a short time.

At this time, the fight in the inner courtyard of Xiangfu had become a mess, and dozens of corpses were lying on the ground of the courtyard. Judging from the costumes, some of them are dressed in black, and the other part is dressed as domestic servants. Originally, Hua Chunqiu wanted to lurk in secret, taking advantage of his unpreparedness and taking him by surprise, but he didn't think about it, but was caught in an urn by Xiangfu.

It turned out that in the month that Hua Chunqiu conspired with the city lord to deal with the Xiang Mansion, the Xiang Mansion and the Xiao Mansion were not idle. The seemingly calm winter is actually secretly pregnant with a ghost fetus, but the nature of this ghost fetus is completely different.

Because Hua Chunqiu has always had plans for the major industries in Fenglan County, he was inadvertently controlled by a mysterious black figure. The mysterious black figure didn't know who it was, let alone what the intention was, asking him to find an opportunity to destroy the Xiangfu and prescribe a great temptation condition, and this condition was to keep the Huafu immortal, or destroy it immediately. After hearing this, Hua Chunqiu naturally chose the former, and his greed was even better than before. But with the strength of his family, it is difficult to complete the elimination of the power of Xiangfu, and the Mo Mansion was mysteriously destroyed as early as five years ago, the Xiao Mansion and the Xiangfu have been married for generations, and Hua Chunqiu has no partners who can do something together, so he finally thought of using the power of the city lord.

The so-called conspiracy is above the right, under the strategy, having what others do not have, having what others cannot, using the power of power and covering up with identity.

After Hua Chunqiu conspired with the city lord, he successfully pulled him into the gang, and offered conditions and threats to trick the city lord into doing things for him, so that more than a month had passed.

However, Xiangfu is not a fool, and it is natural to see the ambition of Hua Chunqiu. The answer to this point has to be found out from Tang Ying's death, so Xiangfu staged a big drama to lure the snake out of the hole until night.

But what they didn't expect was that just when the two sides were inseparable. A demonic force from hell has quietly infiltrated the secret passage of Xiangfu, and these people have this common characteristic, that is, their bodies are constantly emitting a mist of blood red and black, making people unable to see their faces clearly.
