It was late at night, but the thunderstorm didn't stop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

From time to time, the dull thunder rumbled from the sky, and the raindrops continued to fall, hitting the roofs and the leaves, and the sound made the night a little quieter.

In the southeast corner of Pingle City, there are several mansions where wealthy merchants in the city live. There are courtyards that are much wider and more imposing than ordinary people's houses, and there are high walls that are rarely seen in ordinary people's homes. Although the rich families in this city are really nothing compared to other places, at least in Pingle, they are still a symbol of wealth and nobility, and whenever someone passes by these houses, they will show respect and envy.

However, those people in the city would never have dreamed that among these mansions, the largest one is the branch of the White Lotus Sect that is taboo by the imperial court.

Because of this, it is quite important, so this house is naturally not as simple as it seems. Behind the high walls, there are not only rockeries and flowers, but also murderous opportunities hidden behind them!

As far as Hong Lie, that is, Hong Dashan knows, there are more than a dozen secret cards inside and outside this courtyard, and once someone dares to break in, these people will take people's lives in an unbelievable way. There have been a few blind thieves who tried to steal into the house before, but it turned out to be the flower fertilizer in the back garden, and it has not rotted yet.

In this regard, in such a house, no matter who you are, you should be very sure-footed. Hong Lie used to think the same way, but tonight, somehow, he always had a kind of uneasy heart constantly churning, as if something dangerous was coming.

So he told him not to sleep until the third watch, so he had to sit down in his room with his clothes on, and looked out of the open window at the tall trees that were constantly beaten by the rain.

Unconsciously, Hong Lie thought of everything he had experienced over the years. From an ordinary person to a member of the Holy Sect, from an ordinary member of the Sect who has made continuous meritorious contributions in one action after another, to now becoming a branch altar master with a certain amount of power, everything seems like a dream at this time.

Thinking of this, Hong Lie suddenly smiled to himself, what was wrong with him, how could he have such emotion. The present is not about the past, but about the future. The Holy Sect is about to start an incident, and as the owner of the altar in such a critical place, he should have done everything well, keeping an eye on the government here and every suspicious person who appeared in Pingle.

Especially in the past two days, because the young master Xu Chongshan left at noon today, everything here has to be decided by himself.

When his thoughts came here, Hong Lie's brows were unconsciously furrowed, how could the people he sent to deal with those Jinyi guards not turn around at this time, could it be that something went wrong? No, he is still quite confident in the ability of his subordinates, they are the best at assassinating at night, especially tonight's thunderstorm, it is a good time to kill, they will be easy to succeed.

The night of the thunderstorm is indeed the best time for a murderous raid, and Yang Zhen also thinks so. He was even more convinced of this when he and Hu Ge came to the mansion, entered it quietly, and killed several guards hiding in the shadows one after another, without alarming any of the White Lotus Sect.

After taking one of the live mouths in the inn, the brocade guards showed their torture skills to make the world talk about the tiger's color change. Even if they didn't have too many tools, but only with their in-depth understanding of the human body structure, after some torture, the killer who was still very tough before and bent on death also obediently opened his mouth, not only confessed his purpose for coming here, but also recruited the largest stronghold of their White Lotus Sect in Pingle City.

After being convinced that what this person said was true, Yang Zhen immediately made a decision, and he and Hu Ge took advantage of the night to touch them and kill them by surprise, while Cai Yingyang took others to answer outside. Since this White Lotus Sect dared to use such means against his brother, then he would have to return an eye for an eye and also carry out an assassination raid.

"Poof!" After holding down the mouth of another enemy in the dark card, slitting his throat with a dagger, and putting him down, Yang Zhen slowly exhaled a breath. Judging by his judgment of the surrounding situation, there should be only one last sentry left in this courtyard. As long as he is killed again, there will be nothing to worry about here.

Thinking of this, he quickly gestured to Hugo on the other side. Although it was in the dark, the two were able to find each other accurately and clearly understand the movements in each other's gestures.

Hu Ge immediately flashed, and came to the bottom of the tree trunk with a burst of thunder just now, and Yang Zhen rushed to grab it in time, and when he came to the tree, he kicked his feet on the ground suddenly, and jumped high, and then, stepped on Hu Ge's shoulder, and his body that had fallen was vacated twice, and he jumped to the side of a branch about the thickness of an arm more than three feet high, and when he stretched out his hand, he hooked the branch and stabilized his body.

Although he moved fast enough and took advantage of the thunder to cover it, this movement was not small after all, and it immediately alarmed the dark sentry who was hiding among the leaves not far from here. The man's eyes flashed, and he pulled out the steel knife behind his back with his backhand.

But this time, it just exposed his position. In the dark, the reflection of the steel knife was as dazzling as the stars, allowing Yang Zhen, who had already stabilized his figure, to see him at a glance. Without half a moment's hesitation, Yang Zhen's hand holding the branch exerted his strength again, causing his body to fly towards the dark whistle like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, the two slammed into each other, and then with a muffled snort, the dark whistle had been stabbed into the heart by Yang Zhen, and as soon as his feet were weak, he fell down.

However, he only fell down, and Yang Zhen, who was quick-eyed, grabbed the placket of his clothes, and pulled it hard, and the body that fell down returned to the tree, and was swung back to the place where he was squatting. The corpse, which had no strength, was able to lean against the tree without falling down, supported by a branch behind it.

Until he made sure that nothing would change, Yang Zhen reflexively slid down the trunk of the tree and quickly fell back to the ground, then nodded at Hu Ge, and then put his hand on the house in front of him, and made a killing gesture with his hand under his throat.

Hu Ge nodded in understanding, and with a pull of the knife in his hand, he was already one step ahead of him towards a small courtyard in front of him. And Yang Zhen then walked towards the house on the other side.

A few moments later, there were several struggles and muffled grunts in the two rooms......

Wrong!

Hong Lie, who had returned to the bed and was about to sleep for a while, turned over from the bed and sat up again, with a deep sense of uneasiness in his expression. Years of licking blood from a knife gave him a premonition before the crisis came. Tonight, the premonition was stronger than ever, so strong that it was hard for him to sleep even if he wanted to, and his heart was pounding constantly.

Even if he felt that it was safe here, he would not dare to be careless in this situation, so he had to get up again, and after getting dressed, he picked up his weapon from under the pillow, a pair of double knives, and then walked to the door, intending to go out for a walk, so as to reassure himself.

But just as he opened the latch and opened the door to get out, a figure happened to jump in front of his door with ease. Neither of them expected that someone would appear in front of them, they were both stunned, but then, they both reacted again, flashed to the side in a hurry, and at the same time took out a weapon in their hands, and beckoned to each other's bodies.

This one who appeared in front of Hong Lie was Hu Ge, who had just come from the side, and he didn't expect the other party to come such a hand, so he looked a little flustered. Fortunately, his martial arts are already good, even if things are in a hurry, he can still quickly make a knife, but suddenly, he found that the situation is not good, the other party is using a double knife, one knife to attack and one to defend, if he blindly attacks, I am afraid that it will be bad, so I quickly put the knife handed out and put it back, and dangerously blocked a knife that grabbed his chest.

Seeing that the other party reacted so quickly, Hong Lie's heart tightened, and he immediately used all his strength, dancing the two knives like flying wings, and slashing at Hu Ge's vital point.

Because of a miscalculation and losing the upper hand, Hu Ge could only defend passively, constantly parrying with the knife in his hand, and at the same time his body couldn't help but retreat, in order to widen the distance between the two sides, and then rely on his knife for a longer time, so that he could turn defense into offense.

But the other party is obviously also a good player, he has already seen this, and in this case, he will naturally not relax his attack, when Hu Ge retreated, he closed step by step, a knife was as fast as a knife, and a knife was as ruthless as a knife to attack straight forward.

In a clanging, iron-like sound, the two of them fought quickly, and dozens of moves passed in an instant, and at the same time, Hu Ge had also retreated a few feet, but it was still difficult to get rid of the other party's entanglement, but some were even more tired of parrying.

"What kind of way is this guy, so good?" Hu Ge thought in surprise, to be honest, since he followed Xiang Ying to learn the knife, he really hadn't encountered many decent opponents, and in his mind, except for Yang Zhen and Master Xiang Ying, there should be no one in the world who can defeat him. Only today does he know how short-sighted he is.

In fact, Hong Lie was also generally surprised in his heart, he was also among the best in martial arts in the Holy Sect, but he didn't want to meet such an opponent tonight, and he could entangle himself for so long without being defeated with only one arm and a single sword. But fortunately, this time he has won the game.

Hu Ge, who was desperately parrying, suddenly saw a flash of joy in the other party's eyes, and his heart was cold, and he didn't know what was wrong. It wasn't until he took a step back, his back was solid, and found that there was no way back, that he knew that he was indeed in trouble......
