Mid-Autumn night.

On the Qinhuai River, the painting boats drift slowly, the lights on both sides of the bank are bright, like day, tonight's Jiangning City will be a city that never sleeps, and even the four gates will not be closed.

Although the search during the day brought disharmony to Jiangning City, since nightfall, the search has stopped, and the city has become as prosperous and lively as in previous years.

The people on the street are bustling, the lanterns are like weaving, like the mighty and unquenchable flowing fire, the hawkers shout loudly, the dragon and lion dances walk by mightily, the place where the performers of the gongs and drums are beaten, and the performers of the juggling show are even more crowded, the faint singing of soliciting guests is transmitted in the brothel of the Qinglou house, and the people in silk shirts go in and out, and it is very lively.

At this time, in Jiangning City, Wuyi Lane and Confucius Temple are the most lively and prosperous. And on this festive occasion, poetry is indispensable. In the teahouse restaurant, the literati students shook their heads and commented on the best poems, appreciating whose poems can be sung the longest, even if they have never studied in the market, they can also feel such an artistic conception in such an atmosphere, and comment on the character of the people around them, and get some elegant atmosphere.

And tonight's most lively is the Xie family's Jinyuan poetry meeting, the six boats of Jinyuan have already left the shore, slowly driving along the Qinhuai River, there are more than ten small boats before and after, following the bank on both sides of the Qinhuai River all the way to swim, occasionally then the guests to the big boat, occasionally also carried people or passed the poems, like a small fish accompanied by the water palace.

The sons and daughters of the Wang family, except for Wang Xuan, who was invited to participate in the Jinyuan Poetry Club, most of them concentrated in Ruihe Garden to admire the moon and laurels.

The Zheng family's place to admire the moon has been in Yuyuan in previous years, and this year seems to be the same.

The sons and daughters of the Zhao family...... The Zhao family has only one son, and he is still drinking the southeast wind in the wilderness.

Compared with those magnificent or atmospheric, or luxurious gardens in Jiangning, there is a garden twenty miles away from the west of the city, but it makes people talk about the color change, that is, the ghost garden.

The ghost garden was originally not called the ghost garden, but called the Gui Garden, although it is not big, but the pavilions and water pavilions, pavilions and pond fish, are also to have everything, but after the previous owner returned to the west, the ghost was inexplicably haunted, so it became a waste garden, and its name became a ghost garden from Guiyuan.

Tonight's ghost garden, as in previous years, has a closed gate, not only is it deserted in front of the door, but there are few people within a radius of several miles.

Originally, it was a full moon night, but the front door of the ghost garden was cloudy and creepy.

Knock click~

In front of the gate of the strangely secluded ghost garden, a sudden sound of horses' hooves sounded, like a rambling mallet beating a drum, and it came with a bang.

At the forefront of the gallop was a splendid two-horse carriage, followed by sixty or seventy cavalrymen, whose hooves were like a forest, driving a cloud of billowing smoke and dust.

Xi Yu Yu~

The neighing sound of the horses that had been stopped by the reins was particularly loud and shocking in the night sky, sweeping away the eerie and eerie atmosphere in front of the ghost garden.

Fang Qifo, Zhao Ling and Fang Xiang took the lead in turning over and dismounting, carrying a long knife upside down, and ran to the door of the ghost garden, and then the riders behind them also turned over and dismounted, and drew their knives together, following behind the three of them.

Bang bang bang~

Fang Qifo knocked on the door three times in succession, but there was no response from inside, but there was a strange sound, if there was nothing, it would not be heard at all if it was not listened carefully.

Fang Qifo roared angrily: "All disperse!" ”

Zhao Ling, Fang Maung and the others were intimidated by his momentum and scattered to both sides of the gate.

I saw Fang Qifo stick the long knife behind his back, strode to the stone lion on the left, and roared loudly, the five or six hundred catties of stone lion was actually lifted high by him, and it didn't seem to be difficult.

Call~

The next moment, Fang Qifo lifted the stone lion and threw it towards the mottled wooden gate.

Bang~

There was only a violent cracking sound of wood, and the wide gate fell directly into the door frame, and the stone lion also landed within the threshold, revealing a huge doorway.

Woo Woo Woo ~ A strong sound of breaking the air was loud, and countless sharp arrows shot out from the door frame like meteors, fortunately everyone had already hidden on both sides of the gate, otherwise someone would inevitably be pierced by sharp arrows, and blood was splashed five steps.

Call~

As soon as a rain of arrows had been fired, a huge stone lion flew like a cannonball into the doorway, rushing towards the crossbowmen who were preparing to load their arrowheads.

The hundreds of pounds of stone lions smashed in front of the crossbow archers, and smashed a big pit on the bluestone ground, sparks splashed everywhere, and the stones shot fiercely, so that the crossbow archers threw down their crossbow arrows one after another, and fled in all directions.

At this moment, Zhao Hao knew what the concept of force 97 was, and he also deeply felt how terrifying the combat effectiveness of this "Eight Kings" combined by Wang Yin, Shi Bao, Deng Yuanjue and other eight heavenly kings was!

This kind of strength, if you go to participate in various martial arts competitions in later generations, you can almost knock out opponents regardless of the type of competition and weight segment.

Kill~

Fang Qifo took the lead in raising a knife and entered the gate, and then Zhao Ling, Fang Xiang and others also raised their knives and entered, and those family generals and slaves saw that Fang Qifo was so brave, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they held steel knives one by one, shouting loudly and following in.

Wang Jue and Xie Yu stood side by side, looking at Fang Qifo's back in amazement, with an incredible look on his face, and said in surprise: "What a brave man, I'm afraid there are few opponents in the entire Jiangnan!"

At this time, Zhao Hao and Yang Fang also boarded the carriage, and seeing that everyone had already killed them, they walked towards the gate with Wang Jue and Xie Yu.

And on the way here, he had already swallowed 5 Shengli pills.

Shengli Pill (small): After taking it, it can increase arm strength by 10 catties, permanent effect, each person is limited to 5 pills, and 2000 merit points must be exchanged.

This is the only one with a permanent effect in the Vermilion Bird Pavilion, after taking 5 small life pills, Zhao Hao only felt that his whole body was full of infinite strength, and he had the ambition of a tiger and a leopard, of course, this was just his own idea, in fact, his strength at this time was only raised to 60.

The four of them entered the gate, bypassed the two stone lions, and just happened to see Fang Qifo and Zhao Yun and others meeting Yin Yi who came with the crowd.

Yin Yi carried a long knife in his hand, ran at the front, pointed at Fang Qifo and the others and shouted: "The Salt Gang is here, who is so arrogant!" ”

Fang Qifo didn't answer, the long knife in his hand slashed a shining arc of light in the air, rushing towards Yin Yi like lightning.

Yin Yi was shocked, and hurriedly raised his sword to meet him.

Bang~

The huge sound of gold and iron resonating stirred up, shaking the eardrums of everyone around.

Fang Qifo didn't move at all, but Yin Yi took six or seven steps back with a knife, his whole body was churning with qi and blood, and he almost fell to the ground.

It was too late, it was fast, and without waiting for Yin Yi to stand firm, Fang Qifo quickly followed, flew up with a kick, and kicked Yin Yi's chest as fast as lightning, only to see that Yin Yi was like a kite with a broken string, and the huge body of more than 100 catties suddenly flew up and fell heavily to the ground.

Burst~

Yin Yi couldn't bear it anymore, and spit out a mouthful of blood, but he was also a ruthless character, although he was seriously injured, he still jumped up and shouted: "Withdraw, retreat!" ”

In fact, without waiting for him to shout, those gang members of the Salt Gang saw that they respected the god-like gang leader, and they were not the enemy of this fierce man, and they were beaten to vomit blood in two moves, and they were already shocked by the two trembling forces, and they heard a shout of Yin Yi, and suddenly a shout, they all carried weapons and fled in all directions.

And Yin Yi didn't care about the long knife on the ground, so he flew and ran towards the wall, ran to the wall, and a fish jumped on the wall and turned over, quickly disappearing into the night.

Fang Qifo didn't chase after him, but picked up the little Taoist priest who reported the news from behind him, and shouted: "Lead the way quickly!" ”

The little Taoist priest had never seen such a fierce man, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran in front of him and led everyone to a pavilion in the garden.

In the lobby of the dilapidated pavilion, a blast furnace for alchemy was blazing, and the best coke was used.

Around the blast furnace, there were hundreds of boys, all about four or five years old, all of whom had passed out, and in front of them were two large huge copper basins, one with a sharp and shining pig-killing knife, and one with water.

Everyone who entered the lobby was stunned by the scene in front of them, and they knew deeply that if they were one step late, what kind of terrible things would happen.

Wow~

Zhao Hao couldn't help but cover his stomach, lowered his head and retched.
