When Meng Yan escaped from the pursuit of Lieyang Gate a few days ago, he went back to see Ouyang He in the cave where he left a note, which said that Ouyang He had been rescued by Lan Yin and Xuan Mo from the Firmament Palace, and asked Meng Yan not to worry about Ouyang He's safety.

"Is the legendary martial arts martial arts Taidou Firmament Palace? If He'er is really rescued by the people there, my heart that is hanging at this moment can finally be put down. ”

Meng Yan expected that since he had returned here before the people of Lieyang Gate, Ouyang He should not have fallen into their hands. And judging from the note she left, it shouldn't be an ordinary bandit who took her away, otherwise they wouldn't have deliberately left a note for a stranger.

Seeing that Ouyang He was most likely indeed rescued by the Firmament Palace, Meng Yan decided to go to Wanzhou according to his original plan, and re-learn martial arts under Wang Dong, the former owner of the Yunsheng Martial Arts Pavilion who had returned to his hometown, in order to complete his revenge on King Mu, Xiahou Xu and others as soon as possible.

However, when he arrived at Wang Dong's residence in Wanzhou City, he found that everything was not as simple as he imagined. Originally, Wang Dong saw that under King Jin's friendship and Meng Yan's bitter pleading, he was reluctantly ready to accept him as his apprentice.

At this time, Wang Dong's wife heard some rumors about Meng Yan out of nowhere, and then she found an opportunity to whisper to Wang Dong that Meng Yan was a court criminal who killed his whole family and was being wanted by the whole country, and if Wang Dong took him in, then their family would not be at peace.

So, at the instigation of his wife, Wang Dong unceremoniously drove Meng Yan out of his residence with some humiliating words. At the same time, several other disciples studying in his residence also sneered at Meng Yan on the sidelines, and all of them regarded the down-and-out nineteen-year-old boy as a burden.

Meng Yan, who had been expelled from Wang Dong's residence, was dressed in shabby clothes and wandered in dead silence on the bustling streets of Wanzhou City. After a while, perhaps summoned by something, he involuntarily walked slowly into a dimly lit alley on the side of the road.

"Hey, how did I get here, it's a dead end, alas, maybe I'm too tired!" Meng Yan smiled bitterly helplessly, and then prepared to turn around and walk out of the alley. However, to his surprise, a mysterious man wearing a metal mask in the shape of a tiger suddenly appears in front of him and stares at him maliciously.

"Who is Your Excellency? Why are you in my way? Meng Yan felt a little confused.

"Meng Yan Gongzi looks a little uneasy? I wonder if I can help you solve your problems? The masked man made a female voice that sounded hoarse.

"You...... How do you know who you really are? Meng Yan pulled out the saber on his body in a little panic and pointed it at the black-robed man wearing the mask.

"Hehe, Meng Gongzi is really a noble person, didn't we just meet in your room in Chengdu Qianyao Hall not long ago? Can't remember me so soon? The tiger-faced man said in a frivolous tone.

"Is that you? What is your intention in approaching me three times and twice? Meng Yan said in a slightly calm tone.

"Hehe, Meng Gongzi doesn't have to be so nervous, I have never had any ill will towards Meng Gongzi. It's just that the master under him had a good friendship with King Jin, and now the master can't bear to see the son of King Jin suffering, so he specially sent down to save Prince Meng from fire and water. The tiger-faced man said with a slight smile.

"Huh? Then why didn't you mention these things to me when you were in Chengdu? Meng Yan was still skeptical of what the tiger-faced man said.

"Hehe, since I persuade you not to listen to my kind words, then let you taste the sadness and suffering of this world, and let you see who else can give you a real place besides my master." The tone of the tiger-faced man's voice instantly hardened a little.

"Hmph, Your Excellency is really scheming for me Meng Mou, so I don't know why Your Excellency thinks that I, Meng Yan, will definitely go with you?"

"Hehe, Master Meng, according to what I have observed, you seem to like the owner of Ouyang Village of Yufeng Mountain Villa very much, right?"

As soon as the tiger-faced man mentioned Ouyang He, Meng Yan suddenly became nervous, and then he angrily asked the tiger-faced man what they wanted to do to Ouyang He.

The tiger-faced man explained that they just wanted to help Meng Yan be worthy of Ouyang He, that is, to help him recover his original manly body.

"Hehe, why do you want to joke with me, now my crippled body is doomed, how have I ever heard of a eunuch who can restore the body of a man. This is how my life should be, and I don't have to worry about it! Meng Yan said with emotion in a slightly helpless tone.

"Since Meng Gongzi has nowhere else to go now, why not fight everything and gamble, for yourself and for the woman you love." The tiger-faced man still persuaded in a gentle tone, and at this time, Meng Yan seemed to have been shaken in his heart after recalling the bits and pieces of getting along with Ouyang He.

After a period of consideration, Meng Yan finally agreed to go to the Lingquan Cave Mansion of Shenyue Mountain with the tiger-faced man in front of him.

"Hehe, Meng Gongzi can really still understand the master's hard work, but before we leave, I still need Meng Gongzi to do a very simple thing, which can be regarded as a test of the master's ability to Meng Gongzi." The tiger-faced man said with a slightly mysterious look.

Then the tiger-faced man waved his hand behind him, and about five killers dressed in black and blue costumes knelt down behind the tiger-faced man and saluted, and then they quickly and quietly ran out of the alley, leaving Meng Yan a little stunned to stay where he was.

"Meng Gongzi don't have to worry, I just sent them to do some small things, you can follow me and wait patiently." Led by the tiger-faced man, Meng Yan walked into a small teahouse on the side of the road and sat down and waited.

It didn't take long for the sky to get dark, and the shops on both sides of the street were lit with oil lamps. When Meng Yan was about to get up and leave when he was gradually getting a little impetuous, a person dressed as a killer arrived in front of the two in time and reported the situation to the tiger-faced man.

"Meng Gongzi, I have a mask here, you can put it on, and then you only need to go straight to the residence of Wang Dong's family and frighten one of the servants there, and the test that the master has given Meng Gongzi will pass." After taking a sip of tea, the tiger-faced man said to Meng Yan in a calm tone.

Meng Yan heard it in a fog, but in order to get a foothold in the rivers and lakes to practice martial arts, and also for the legendary peerless secret method that could restore him to a man's body, he still decided to follow the arrangement of the tiger-faced man to go on a journey.

However, when he pushed open the hidden courtyard door and walked into the courtyard with a not nervous mood, he was stunned by the tragic scene in front of him, and it turned out that everyone in the courtyard had already died in a pool of blood.

Meng Yan took off the mask on his face in a panic and rushed into the house to find out if there were any traces of survivors, but when he walked into the house, Wang Dong and his wife had already died in the house, and there were still several corpses of Wang Dong's disciples in the house.

"What are you arguing about here at night, the neighbors can't stand it...... Yes! At this time, a scream came from the courtyard gate, Meng Yan hurriedly ran out of the house to check the situation, it turned out that it was a watchman who walked into the courtyard by mistake, and then he was frightened by the scene in the courtyard.

"Ah, Meng ...... Meng Yan, it was you who killed the Wang Pavilion Master and their entire family, and you ...... Stay back. The watchman was so frightened that he fled with a scream, "Help! Come on! Meng Yan has killed someone! ”

After being disturbed by the screams of the watchmen, the entire street was alarmed, including several arresters who were patrolling the street, and they quickly rushed to Wang Dong's residence after hearing the noise.

Seeing that the catchers from all directions were gradually about to surround Meng Yan, one of the killers under the tiger-faced man sneaked into the courtyard at this time and knocked the helpless Meng Yan unconscious in one fell swoop, and then he quickly fled the courtyard with Meng Yan on his back.

"You read that right, it's really Meng Yan who killed people?" After the tiger-faced man led everyone to leave, the catchers pounced in the courtyard, so one of the leading catchers sharply questioned the watchman.

"It's true, although the villain didn't see Meng Yan kill with his own eyes, but he was the only one here at that time, if he wasn't the murderer, then why did he stay in this murder scene for so long?" The watchman said a little nervously.

"Hmph, what a Meng Yan, it's really crazy!" After the head catcher said angrily, he led everyone back to the mansion, and the governor of Wanzhou was frightened when he learned about it, and on the one hand, he announced that he was wanted and searched for Meng Yan in the city, and on the other hand, he hurriedly sent people to Chengdu to prepare to report Meng Yan's traces to Shangfeng.

A few days after this incident, Ouyang He, Tong Kun, and Liu Yangyang, who were traveling to the Qingshan Firmament Palace in a carriage, were about to enter the city for a short rest after passing through Wanzhou, and at this time, Meng Yan's wanted notice, which was plastered all over the city, inevitably attracted the attention of the three of them.

"What? Meng Gongzi killed the entire family of Wang Dong, the former owner of the Yunsheng Martial Arts Hall, how could this be possible? Meng Gongzi would never do such a thing! Ouyang He felt a little unbelievable after seeing Meng Yan's portrait at the door of the inn, and then she returned to the inn and briefly introduced Meng Yan's situation to Tong Kun and Liu Yangyang, who did not know Meng Yan at this time.

"In this way, Miss Ouyang firmly believes that this Meng Gongzi must be blamed?" Tong Kun asked quietly.

"Well, even so, we still don't know what happened, I'm afraid we can't help Meng Gongzi, alas!" Ouyang He let out a long sigh with a sad face.

"Then, how can I say that he is also a friend of Sister He, is it really okay for us to ignore him like this?" Liu Yangyang also asked with a worried look.

"Although I am indeed very worried about the safety of Meng Gongzi now, I don't know where he is at the moment and what happened to him, after all, I don't think the government here will allow us people to meddle in such cases." Ouyang He elaborated a little helplessly, in fact, she was also very worried about the terrible situation that Meng Yan was in now.

"Since the government won't let us investigate, we can secretly go to the murder scene to find some clues, maybe there is evidence to prove his innocence?" Tong Kun said whimsically, "I used to be an apprentice under a servant for a while, and I still have a lot of experience with such errands as autopsies. ”

Tong Kun then proposed that Ouyang He, who was good at martial arts and careful, go to the Wang family's compound to inquire about the situation, and he would go to Yizhuang to investigate the corpses of the Wang family, while Liu Yangyang stayed in the inn and waited for them to come back.

"Heaven forbid, may I find evidence to prove Meng Gongzi's innocence. Then, Ling Gongzi and I will try to find him, so that he will never live such a life of escape and helplessness again. Ouyang He got up at night and made a sincere wish to the moon outside the window before leaving.

Under the illumination of the same dim moonlight, Meng Yan was placed on horseback in a coma at this time, and together with the killers led by the tiger-faced man, he embarked on a dark road to the cloudy Shenyue Mountain.
