"General Yu, according to the news from Yuzhou, the criminal Meng Yan is now in the Yunsheng Martial Arts Hall in Yuzhou, and it seems that he doesn't know the situation in the capital, should we send someone to arrest him now?"

The officer thought about it for a moment: "It will take a lot of time to go to Yuzhou, but the news of King Jin's arrest will inevitably spread quickly, so it is not certain whether this news will be the first to be transmitted to Yuzhou by the civil forces." In order to prevent the prisoners from escaping when they hear the news, I will first send someone to use carrier pigeons to inform the Yuzhou Taishou. At the same time, you immediately led two hundred Xuanwu guards to rush to Yuzhou, and remember not to cause too much movement in the towns along the road. ”

"The last general commands!" After ordering the two hundred Xuanwu guards, the adjutant immediately led them to ride fast horses and gallop out of Chengdu.

On the roof of a house in front of the gate of King Jin's mansion, a mysterious black figure dressed in night clothes was watching everything that happened in front of King Jin's mansion. And when the officer led the forbidden soldiers out of King Jin's mansion, the black shadow released the black carrier pigeon that he had been holding in his hand before, and quickly left the roof, and then melted into the dark night.

(Two days later, in Yuzhou, in the Yunsheng Martial Arts Museum)

On this day, in the front yard of the martial arts hall, a young man in blue dressed in simple clothes was wielding a knife to practice martial arts, although his face was still slightly immature, but his eyebrows exuded a calm temperament, his eyes were firm between one move and one style, and his harder face made outsiders look like he had a charm beyond his real age. When he completed some of the basic moves smoothly, suddenly a young man with almost the same body shape came out with a sword and began a martial arts competition with the sword-wielding boy. After dozens of rounds of fierce battles, the two sides were still evenly matched and could not distinguish the winner, so they both put away their weapons after the last round.

"It's not a small progress, it doesn't look good, I won't be able to withstand your attack at some point in the future, and sure enough, smelling the chicken and dancing is a good strategy to improve martial arts." The sword-wielding boy said with a sunny smile on his face. He looked about the same age as the knife-wielding boy, but compared to the knife-wielding boy's tougher face, he was much more handsome, and his gestures were more casual and chic.

"Hmph, your moves are almost the same as the last time you sparred, it looks like your adaptability is underestimated by you, why be so polite to me?" The knife-wielding boy also smiled and said half-jokingly.

"Hahaha, this son must remember Brother Meng Yan's advice. Not to mention this, since it is rare to relax one day, Brother Meng Yan doesn't plan to go to Yuzhou City for a walk? In addition, noon is approaching, why don't you go down East Street with me to the Food God Building for lunch? ”

"Okay, since Brother Ling Rui has a treat, then there is no reason for me not to go."

"Heh, you're still the same, so what are you waiting for, Brother Meng, please." Ling Rui said and made an inviting gesture.

So, in the midst of cheerful laughter, the two put down their weapons and walked out of the martial arts hall and walked towards the God of Food Building. At the same time, in a place they didn't find at the entrance of the martial arts hall, a sneaky figure also quickly left after seeing the two of them go out.

After a while, passing through the noisy and bustling streets as usual, the two of them chatted and laughed and arrived at the God of Food Building. Although the hall of the God of Food Building is much larger than other ordinary inns and restaurants in Yuzhou City, it is still hard to find, and the diners who come and go at a glance have already filled the hall on the first floor here.

"Yo, Meng Gongzi and Ling Gongzi are here, it just so happens that the seats on the second floor where the two of you sit every day are no one now, so the younger one will lead the two up." Xiao Er greeted him happily.

"Okay, thank you, in fact, the little second brother doesn't have to take care of us deliberately, as long as we are accompanied by the signature food of the God of Food Building, our seats can be arranged at will." Compared with the more stable Meng Yan, Ling Rui is still more cheerful in comparison.

The two went up to the second floor under the guidance of Xiao Er, but the moment they walked up the stairs, Meng Yan suddenly felt uncomfortable as if he had been electrocuted. He deliberately avoided the gaze of others and quickly glanced at the hall on the first floor, feeling as if many pairs of eyes scattered all over the hall were quietly staring at him and Ling Rui, so a strong sense of uneasiness that he couldn't explain gradually came to his heart at this time.

The two of them sat down in a wide seat on the second floor, which overlooked most of the corners of the hall on the first floor. The two of them ordered the food and drinks, and the other people around them heard all kinds of chats. It is no wonder that the Solar Eclipse God Tower is always the noisiest place in Yuzhou City.

"Hey, by the way, have you heard an interesting fact? A few days ago, the son of the Taishou family carried a lot of dowry gifts and wanted to go to Jinyun Mountain to ask to meet the mysterious owner of Yufeng Villa, but as a result, not only did he come back with a nose of ash, but his subordinates were also severely taught a lesson by a woman in Yufeng Villa. A conversation at the next table suddenly aroused Ling Rui's interest.

"Yes, this matter has spread in the past few days, and this son, who is so arrogant and domineering on weekdays, has such an embarrassing time, it's just very happy, hahaha!" The other man at the next table answered, and then the two of them smiled at each other and drank a drink.

"But then again, those who have been in Yufeng Mountain Villa before have all said that the current owner of Ouyang Village is a beautiful and moving lady, and he is easy-going and good-hearted, and I don't know if it's true or not."

"That's right, I've heard of this rumor, and the Danqingfang in the city even hides a lot of portraits drawn according to the descriptions of those people, no wonder this merry Taishou son also prepared a generous gift to see the beauty, but unfortunately, he didn't even seem to have crossed the threshold before he was driven back, and the woman who drove them away seems to be just an ordinary subordinate."

"Really? If that's the case, then Yufeng Mountain Villa is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, like Brother Tai, I'm afraid that I won't have the chance to see this peerless beauty in my life, haha! ”

"Ahem... If you can't see it, you can't see it, isn't it just a woman, it's not good to say that these rumors are just a façade, then the owner is actually just a half-old, hahaha! The two laughed, and then continued to drink.

Ling Rui smiled coldly, his gaze moved back to his desk from the window, raised his wine glass and drank it all.

"It seems that Brother Ling is also interested in this rumored beauty." Meng Yan said expressionlessly but jokingly.

"Ah, oh, haha, it's really rare for Brother Meng to make fun of me." Ling Rui was a little distracted for a moment, then said without embarrassment, and then took another drink.

After the meal was over in less than an hour, the two left their seats and walked out of the God of Food Building.

After Meng Yan walked down the floor, the uncomfortable feeling began to haunt him again, especially after they walked out of the God of Food Building, this feeling became more and more intense, but Ling Rui still seemed to be at ease, and stretched his waist stretched, without any strange expression on his face. Meng Yan thought to himself, since he found that these people's eyes had been staring at him, they should just be coming at him, and although he didn't know who they were and what they wanted to do, it was best not to let Ling Rui around him fall into the same dangerous situation as himself, and he had to find a way to get him out of danger first.

"By the way, Brother Ling, you go back first, I remember that I need to go to the cemetery outside the city today to pay tribute to an old gentleman who taught me to read and write in Yuzhou when I was young, and I haven't been to see him for a long time." Meng Yan said to Ling Rui.

"Oh, then I'll go with you, I just need to walk around after dinner, haha!" Ling Rui still had a sunny smile on his face.

"It's still not necessary, I still have a lot of things in my heart that I want to talk to the old gentleman slowly, you will feel bored."

"Well, okay, since you said so, then I'll go back to the martial arts hall first, and you should be careful yourself."

After the two said goodbye, Meng Yan quickened his pace and walked towards the north gate of Yuzhou, and his strong intuition told him that there were always many people following him closely. When he walked out of the city gate and reached a small lake on the outskirts of the city, he stopped and sighed.

"I didn't expect you kid to be quite righteous, you didn't pull others into the water, and you brought us here alone, I like you a little." When Meng Yan turned around, more than a dozen people had already surrounded him, and a one-eyed strong man in the lead looked at him with disdain.

"You've been with me for so long, I don't know what you're doing?" Meng Yan still spoke in a calm tone.

"Boy, do you remember me, uncle? Last time, you were lucky enough to rob the uncle's prey, so you should think that you have today, right? One of the strong man's subordinates looked at Meng Yan viciously, looking like he was about to eat him.

"Oh, it was you." At this time, Meng Yan remembered that the day before yesterday, he witnessed three robber-like people punching and kicking in an alley and forcibly trying to pull an old man's daughter away, so he immediately stepped forward to rescue them, and beat the three people to their heads and fled, he didn't expect them to come back so soon to seek revenge on him.

"Hmph, boy, now you have two choices, either obediently kneel down and kowtow to the masters to admit their mistakes and learn a few dog barks, or let the masters send you directly to the king of Hades right here." The subordinate still did not give up, and the others also scolded and spoke disrespectfully.

"I choose... Meng Yan said and pulled out the saber at his waist, "Let you get out!" ”

"Huh!" The one-eyed strong man in the lead smiled coldly, "Brothers, have fun, go!" ”

With a roar, Meng Yan and Dahan's men fought fiercely. Not surprisingly, Meng Yan's force crushed these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and in less than thirty rounds, he cut most of the people on the opposite side to the ground, but he inevitably suffered some minor skin injuries.

"Looks like you're still a bit capable, but that's the end of it." After speaking, the one-eyed strong man also pulled out his big knife, jumped up and slashed at Meng Yan.

"Bang!" Meng Yan drew his sword to defend, but the powerful force of the other party directly shocked him to one knee on the ground. Then, Dahan kicked Meng Yan to the ground. Before Meng Yan could react, Dahan stepped on his right hand holding the knife under his feet.

"Ahh The sharp pain in his right hand made him miserable, but a carp with all his strength allowed him to break free from the big man's restraint and slowly stand up.

"Hmph, looks like I can get rid of you soon." The big man rushed up again with an arrow step and swung his knife to slash, Meng Yan blocked a few rounds and tried to bend down and turn around to attack the lower part of the strong man, but he didn't expect the strong man to quickly take out a dagger from his waist with his left hand and leave a big hole on Meng Yan's waist.

"Oh, damn it, there is such a method." Meng Yan clutched his bleeding waist, and his eyes gradually became blurred.

"Drink!" The strong man kicked again, and Meng Yan was kicked in the stomach and fell to the ground again. Due to the severity of his back injury, although he endured severe pain and tried to stand up, he already felt that it was difficult for him to get up.

The big man looked at him proudly, then stepped on his head again and said, "Don't you think you're very powerful?" Get up again, fight again, or do you want me to trample you to death like a mouse, huh? ”

Meng Yan was extremely sad and angry in his heart at this time, he gasped heavily, but his whole body was already difficult to move.

At this moment, on an official road not far from them, a carriage with a pink curtain slowly drove from far and near.

"Miss, there seems to be a fight ahead, and the one-eyed one who looks at the leader seems to be Yuan Qing who has been rampant in the township during this time." Sitting in front of the carriage was a girl with a long ponytail, although it was not a national beauty, but it was also a good face, especially between the eyebrows, and a cyan sleeve suit also looked heroic.

The person sitting in the car gently opened the curtain, and a pair of clear and gentle eyes noticed the young man who was pressed under the feet of the strong man.

"Xin'er, then I'll trouble you," the people in the car slowly closed the curtain, "I'll heal that boy later." "This lark-like voice is so clear and pleasant.

"Yes, miss." The girl sitting in front of the carriage clenched the long whip in her hand, and her toes lightly pointed towards the carriage seat, and she jumped up and flew forward with light skills, seeing that the knife in the big man's hand was about to fall towards the young man's heart.
