The fifth watch will be delivered first!

-----------------------

Duan Canghai was stunned, frowned and asked, "Master Hou, you suddenly asked...... Could it be that the assassin appeared and had something to do with the second master of Beigong? ”

"Second Master Beigong?" Yang Ning was also stunned, Duan Canghai called Beigong Liancheng "Second Master", which was very unusual, and asked urgently: "You really know Beigong Liancheng, who is he?" I heard that he has a relationship with our Hou Mansion, what is going on? ”

Chi Danmei said that Beigong Liancheng is a member of the Jinyi Hou Qi family, and Yang Ning still doesn't understand what this sentence means. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Duan Canghai looked around, and then said softly: "Master Hou, you shouldn't call the second master of Beigong by his name, he is your second grandfather!" ”

"II...... Second grandfather? Yang Ning was taken aback.

Duan Canghai explained: "The old marquis has four brothers, the third old lady you have seen, the fourth old lady replaced the old marquis to become a monk, and now he is practicing Buddhism in the Great Guangming Temple, and the second master of Beigong is second among the four brothers. ”

Yang Ning only realized at this time that Beigong Liancheng, who had entered the realm of the Great Grandmaster of Swordsmanship, turned out to be the second old lady of the Qi family.

It's just that he immediately frowned, and said suspiciously: "No, our surname is Qi, and Beigong Liancheng is surnamed Beigong, since he is with ..... If you are a brother to your grandfather, how can you have a different surname from the same family? ”

Duan Canghai sighed and said, "This is the grievance of the older generation, in fact..... Actually, I don't know very well. When the old marquis was still alive, no one in the mansion dared to mention the second master of Beigong. Then his eyes flashed with brilliance, and he asked, "Master Hou, did you mention the second master of Beigong..... Is he still alive? ”

He stared at Yang Ning's eyes with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

"Alive?" Yang Ningqi said: "Do you think he is no longer alive?" ”

Duan Canghai smiled bitterly: "Master Hou doesn't know, when you were born, the second master of Beigong had no news, and the old master also sent people to look around, but there was no news from the second master of Beigong." When the old marquis passed away, it stands to reason that if the second master of Beigong was alive, he would definitely come back to mourn, but the second master of Beigong did not appear that time. ”

Yang Ning frowned slightly, thinking that since he was a brother, the eldest brother was his father, the old marquis passed away, Beigong Liancheng got the news, and he would never even show up at his brother's funeral.

"Since then, the mansion has suspected that the second master of Beigong may have passed away." Duan Canghai sighed: "After so many years, the second master of Beigong has not only never returned, but there is no news of him even on the rivers and lakes. When the general was alive, he also sent people to look for it, but it was all gone, this time the general passed away, and the second master of Beigong still did not appear, if nothing else, his old man would have already gone immortal. ”

Yang Ning bowed slightly, and then he understood.

"Master Hou, I have a sentence, I don't know...... I don't know if I should ask. Duan Canghai hesitated a little, but still asked: "Master Hou's martial arts to absorb people's internal strength, but ...... But what was it given by the second master of the North Palace? ”

Yang Ning thought to himself, it turns out that you have always suspected that your martial arts were taught by Beigong Liancheng.

His Liuhe Divine Skill was obtained from the hands of the Wood God Monarch of the Nine Heavenly Towers by mistake, and the twists and turns naturally could not be explained to Duan Canghai, otherwise even his true identity would be exposed.

"The one who taught me martial arts is a master." Yang Ning had already thought of his words, and pretended to be mysterious: "He asked me not to tell others, I must be true to my word, and I naturally can't leak it." ”

Duan Canghai nodded and said, "What Master Hou said is true." ”

Yang Ning was thinking at this time, according to Duan Canghai's statement, could it be that Beigong Liancheng had really passed away? In this case, is Chi Danmei's trip to Chu State just to find out the life and death of Beigong Liancheng?

Chi Danmei has seen Yang Ning's swordsmanship, and obviously thinks that Beigong Liancheng is still alive, but whether Beigong Liancheng is dead or alive, even Yang Ning is not clear.

So the stack of swords in the old mansion is also a legacy of Beigong Liancheng?

If Beigong Liancheng is dead, then who made that ethereal voice tonight? That man is obviously also a top player, why should he save himself?

Yang Ning's heart was full of doubts, the two got off the painting boat, got on the small flower boat, and did not return to the pearl boat, the night was already dark, and they went ashore.

Back to the place where they got on the boat before, the two entourages were still waiting there, both sitting under the tree, and when they saw Yang Ning coming back, they hurriedly got up, and the carriage also stopped aside.

Yang Ning got into the carriage, the car was busy, although the night curfew in the capital has been canceled, but at this time, it has passed, and the streets and alleys are deserted.

Across the two streets, Yang Ning was still thinking about why Beigong Liancheng had different surnames from the Qiqi family, when he suddenly heard a strange scream, Yang Ning opened the carriage curtains, and saw that he was walking on an empty street at the moment, deserted, Duan Canghai had already urged the horse to the window, with a solemn expression: "Master Hou, did you hear the voice?" ”

Yang Ning nodded slightly, frowned, and said, "What is that sound?" ”

"Pass ...... from the front!" Duan Canghai pointed forward, his face suddenly changed, and said, "Someone!" ”

Yang Ning thought to himself that on the street, there was a sudden appearance of a person who was making a fuss, but he heard Duan Canghai say in a deep voice: "Protect Lord Hou!" With a flick of the horse's reins, the horse was urged out.

Yang Ning was a little surprised, he didn't know what the hell Duan Canghai was doing.

The sound of horses' hooves, Duan Canghai seemed to be far away, after a short while, Duan Canghai did not return, Yang Ning frowned and got off the carriage, it was quiet in all directions, the two attendants were already holding knives in their hands, dismounted and approached, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, you go back to the carriage first." ”

Yang Ning looked forward and asked, "What did Duan Canghai see?" Why chase it? ”

"Yes..... Someone flew through the street like a bird. A hint of horror appeared in one of the attendants' eyes, "It's fast, it's like ...... It's like having wings. "Raise your hand and point ahead," Second Brother Duan chased into the alley. ”

"Nosy." Yang Ning said angrily, "How can you tell it's a person?" Could it really be just a bird? ”

The attendant hurriedly said: "Master Hou, although that person looks like he wants to have wings, but ..... But running on the ground on two legs, the light work is excellent, and it looks like flying. ”

"I see." Yang Ning nodded slightly, suddenly thought of something, frowned and asked, "You said that person has wings?" Isn't it...... Isn't it a bit like a bat? ”

"Bats?" The two entourages glanced at each other and nodded almost at the same time: "Yes, yes, Master Hou, you are like a god, that person..... The man really looked like a bat. ”

Yang Ning's heart sank, and his mind immediately remembered what happened in the official road wine shop that day.

After he left Huize City, he wanted to chase the dart team all the way to find Fluttershy, but he encountered an accident and met Xiao Guang's master and apprentice at the wine shop, and Xiao Guang's master and apprentice were being endured by a group of flying cicadas at the time, and Yang Ning still clearly remembered that the leader of the group of secret ninjas was a bat man dressed as a bat.

The bat man was dressed too weirdly, and Yang Ning still remembers it vividly.

At this time, hearing that the person Duan Canghai was tracking was similar to a bat, Yang Ning naturally thought of the leader of the Flying Cicada Secret Ninja, and was secretly surprised in his heart, could it be that the group of secret ninjas actually ran to the capital.

As he was thinking to himself, he suddenly heard a strange scream, and then heard the mournful neighing of a horse.

"Not good!" Yang Ning's eyebrows tightened, and he quickly ran in the direction where the voice came from, and the two attendants drew their knives in their hands and followed closely.

The three of them ran to the mouth of the alley and looked inside, only to see that the alley was dark, Yang Ning took the cold blade in his hand and slowly touched it inside.

He complained a little in his heart that Duan Canghai didn't know how to chase the birdman, but when he thought about it, Duan Canghai had a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, although he was usually a little arrogant, but when he really encountered things, he was calm and sophisticated, and with his character, he would not chase after him when he saw an inexplicable person, and there must be something strange in it.

The alleys are so narrow and dark that people with poor eyesight can't even see anything clearly.

Yang Ning's eyesight is very good, but he can only see a few steps in front of him, after the sound just now, there is no sound, and the alley is as silent as death.

"Master Hou, you..... Look there......! One of the attendants snapped and raised his hand to the front.

The front was already the exit of the alley, but Yang Ning had already seen that a horse was lying at the entrance of the alley, still struggling slightly, and a strong smell of blood came to his nose.

Yang Ning was taken aback, the three of them approached the past, and found that the horse was ridden by Duan Canghai before, and fell in a pool of blood at this time, the horse's head seemed to want to be raised, but it was weak and weak, and soon, the horse's head sank down, and it stopped moving, one of the attendants was on guard, protecting Yang Ning's side, and the other person stepped forward quickly, checked twice, and said in shock: "Master Hou, this horse's throat is broken!" ”

"Throat broken?" Yang Ning leaned closer, and by the faint light, he saw a bloody stain on the horse's throat, which was still bleeding out at this time, and frowned and asked, "Can you see what weapon injured you?" ”

The attendant took a closer look before he said softly: "Master Hou, it looks like it's ..... It seems to be torn apart by a claw, but ...... It's weird, the scars of the claws are very regular, and the scars are neat, but the wounds here are disordered, and they don't look like the claws, but like ...... It's like a man tearing it apart with his hands. ”

Yang Ning's body was shocked, and the guard beside him had already lost his voice and said, "This ...... How is this possible, who can tear the horse's neck with their bare hands, and how much strength? ”

Yang Ning frowned and said, "Don't worry about the horse first, find Duan Canghai, where are the others?" ”

The two guards were immediately shocked that Duan Canghai was chasing after him on horseback, and now the horse was dead on the ground, but Duan Canghai had no trace, which was really strange.

The three of them went out of the alley, looked left and right, and a side street was empty, the portals on both sides of the street were closed, and there was not a single light in sight, and there was not a single figure in sight.

"Where did Second Brother Duan go?" One of the attendants looked left and right and frowned.

Yang Ning thought for a moment before he said to a guard: "You go over there to find it, I will go this way with him, remember, the other party is weird, if you find it, never face him head-on, safety first." ”

The guard arched his hand, and the cat walked away.

Yang Ning took the remaining guards to the other side to search, the long street was deserted, the night was dark, after walking for a while, he still didn't find half a figure, and suddenly found that there was a small alley on the side, Yang Ning stopped his steps, looked inside, and suddenly heard a strange voice from the alley, and said in a low voice: "There is a problem inside, be careful." Gripping the cold blade, he pressed against the wall and groped his way into the alley.
