In a hollow rockery in the inner courtyard of Liu's mansion, three Songshan disciples in black night clothes lurked in the middle.

"Senior Brother Shi, do we really have to wait here all night? These disciples of the Hengshan faction are a group of local chickens and dogs, with dozens of elite disciples of the Songshan faction, within a stick of incense, they will be able to catch them in a net, why suffer from mosquitoes here. A disciple carrying a broad-held sword complained in a low voice.

"Senior Brother Fang, you don't understand this. Although the strength of the Hengshan faction is not strong, there are only one or two hundred inner disciples. But Liu Zhengfeng's influence in Hengshan is not small, just raise his arms and shout, I am afraid that he can attract thousands of outer disciples, even if those disciples are not good at martial arts, but a thousand people will rush up, and just a bunch of people will have to trample us to death. Moreover, it is said that Liu Zhengfeng has close contacts with the people of the government, and although the strength of the government is not as good as before, after all, there is a regular army, and it is also a force that cannot be underestimated. ”

"And the other three factions of the Wuyue Sword Sect and the various sects of the rivers and lakes have also come to a lot of people, if we don't take advantage of it and preemptively kidnap Liu Zhengfeng's family, then it's hard to say."

"Therefore, we can only control Liu Zhengfeng's family and these inner disciples first. When the golden basin handwashing ceremony begins, our three uncles will expose the collusion between Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang on the spot, and after the crime of collusion with the Demon Sect is confirmed, we will act again, which is justified. After Stenda said this in a pointing tone, he couldn't help but show a smug look on his face.

"I see, Senior Brother Shi is worthy of being the personal disciple of the head of the sect, or you can see it thoroughly, we ordinary disciples are far inferior." Another bald man immediately complimented.

When Stenda heard this, although he hurriedly said a few words of humility, the smug look on his face was undoubtedly stronger.

Just as the three disciples were talking, the three sounds of "Xiu ......" suddenly sounded.

"Huh?" Among the three, Stenda had the highest martial arts, and as soon as his ears were pulled, he immediately swung his sword in front of his chest.

Hearing the muffled sound of the "bell", he felt a heavy object hit the blade of the sword, and at the same time, a considerable force came from the sword.

In the faint light of the moon, he could see roughly that the thing that struck the blade of the sword should be a stone the size of a thumb.

Before Stendor could be surprised, he heard a muffled grunt and a low-pitched cry of pain beside him at the same time.

That muffled snort came from the junior brother who was carrying the giant sword, and I saw that he happened to maintain the posture of putting his hand on the hilt of the giant sword behind his back at the moment, but he didn't move anymore, obviously he should have been hit with a stone in the air.

And the suppressed cry of pain was made by the bald man, who was seen holding his shoulders and grinning his teeth, but he didn't dare to exhale for fear of alarming the patrol disciples.

"Who?" Stenda lowered his voice and glanced around in horror, but he couldn't see a ghost.

But he was still taken aback by the other party's skills, you must know that swinging a stone in the air in the dark not only pointed at a person's acupoint, but also injured one of them. This internal strength and quasi-head are decisive, and it is obviously only possible for people with much higher strength than them to do it, which makes him can't help but be frightened inexplicably.

"Who's where? Come out! At this time, there happened to be a team of four Hengshan patrol disciples passing by from here, and the man at the head obviously heard the movement in the rockery, so he shouted at the rockery vigilantly.

......After the man spoke, the four of them immediately unsheathed their long swords, put them across their chests, and slowly approached the rockery.

Stenda knew that he had been discovered by the other party, and immediately secretly called out bad luck. The three of them were dressed in black and hid in the inner courtyard of the Liu Mansion, and they couldn't explain it in any way, so they had to deal with the four guys who got in the way first.

But just when Stenda was about to suddenly pounce, the two sounds of "Xiu Xiu" sounded again.

In order to avoid the flying stones, he had to hurriedly dodge to the side, but just after dodging the stones that shot from him, the four patrol disciples had already attacked.

"Bell Bell Bell ......"

The sound of metal clashing immediately became loud, and Shi Dengda's martial arts were originally higher than those of Qingcheng's four shows, and the other two disciples were not weak at all.

However, the disciple of the big sword was hit by the acupuncture point and couldn't move at all, and a bald man was injured in the shoulder, which affected his combat strength.

What's even more depressing is that in the darkness, a few stones will shoot from time to time, so even if their martial arts are much higher than these four Hengshan disciples, they are still beaten to the ground.

However, at tea time, the three of them were captured by Chenggong Sheng, and were escorted by the four to Liu Zhengfeng's residence.

After Zhang Yang saw that the three of them were caught, he walked out from behind a tall flower tree with a slight smile, and then disappeared into the darkness with a few ups and downs.

……

After another quarter of an hour, the four Songshan disciples who were ambushed in the east of the inner courtyard were also attacked by unknown stones, and they happened to meet the three patrol disciples of the Hengshan Sect who passed by.

After a round of fighting, the four Songshan disciples were once again beaten by the flying stones, and were finally captured alive by the three Hengshan Sect disciples whose strength was far lower than them.

……

In the main hall of the courtyard where Liu Zhengfeng was, the atmosphere was extremely grim.

"Master, Master, we just caught three thieves with bad intentions......"

A young disciple with a meritorious heart rushed into the hall, and when he entered the hall, he saw a person in black on the ground kneeling with his hands tied behind his back, his voice stopped abruptly.

This young disciple realized that he was not the one who made the first contribution, and that there were other senior brothers who caught the thief before him, and his excitement suddenly faded a lot.

"You go down first, continue to strengthen your vigilance, and after the Ming Dynasty, you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds." Liu Zhengfeng said this after commending the three disciples who came in just now.

After the three disciples left, in addition to the twelve black-clothed people kneeling on the ground, only Liu Zhengfeng, who was sitting at the top, and Xiang Danian and another disciple named Mi Weiyi who stood on both sides of the hall.

"Danian, what was the interrogation just now, have you found out where these people came from? Could it really be that as the disciple's report said, they are really disciples of the Songshan faction? Liu Zhengfeng asked with a gloomy face.

"Master, it has been found out that they are indeed all disciples of Songshan. Although these people are very hard-mouthed, with the Songshan faction costumes they wear in their black clothes, as well as the Songshan tokens and other things, combined with the weapons and martial arts moves they use, it can be concluded that they must be from the Songshan faction. Moreover, there is a junior disciple who once led the art investment teacher in Songshan has already recognized it, and the one known as Qianzhang Song Shi Dengda seems to be Zuo Lengchan's personal disciple. Xiang Danian pointed to Stenda who was kneeling not far away and said.

"Hmph, Zuo Lengchan is simply too deceitful!" Liu Zhengfeng slapped the coffee table next to him violently, and in an instant, the wooden coffee table immediately shattered with a bang.

"What are you trying to sneak into Liu's Mansion secretly?" Liu Zhengfeng asked in a fierce voice.

Although a few of the few people kneeling in the hall had begun to tremble all over their bodies, none of them dared to say a word.

Obviously, they either don't know the inside story, or they don't dare to tell the truth, so they all keep silent.

"Put these people in the dungeon, keep them under strict guard, and don't let them escape. At the same time, it is important to make them speak before tomorrow morning. Liu Zhengfeng took a few deep breaths, and after calming down, he said in a cold voice.

"Yes!" Xiang Danian bowed down to receive the order, and then personally called a few disciples to come forward and escort this cadre to the dungeon.

"Master, the disciple still has something unclear, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." After Xiang Danian left, the disciple named Mi Weiyi said after a deep sigh.

"It's just you and me here, what's the matter, but it doesn't matter!" Liu Zhengfeng waved his hand.

"When the disciple examined the bodies of these Songshan sects just now, he found that most of them had bruises the size of thumbs of varying degrees. According to the disciple's judgment, these bruises were only recently injured, and they should have been created by block-like hidden weapons. Judging by the degree of the scarring, the skill of the person who sent the secret weapon is not trivial, and it is definitely not something that a disciple of this sect can do......" Mi Weiyi said in a calm tone.

"Huh? You mean, someone is behind us to help us? Liu Zhengfeng frowned.

"Exactly, please forgive the disciple for saying bluntly, although the martial arts of the inner disciples of Fuzhong are already good in this sect, they are a little worse than the more than ten Songshan disciples just now. Especially that Qianzhang Song Shi Dengda, it is said that this person's martial arts are also outstanding among the younger generation on the rivers and lakes, and I am afraid that Danian and I are not his opponents. Such a character, if it weren't for the help of someone behind him, could he be easily caught by our disciples? "Mi is righteous.

"In this way, there should be someone behind the scenes, judging from what you just said, this person's martial arts are probably among the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes." Liu Zhengfeng nodded and said.

"No matter why this person is helping, although more than a dozen Songshan disciples have been arrested at the moment, there are obviously many Songshan disciples lurking in the inner courtyard, we have to guard against it!" Mi Weiyi said in a solemn tone.

"Well, let's do it, first secretly spread the word to the patrol disciples to strengthen their vigilance, and they must cut off the connection between these Songshan disciples and the outside world, let alone startle the snake. For the sake of righteousness, you take the token of being a teacher to the outer gate and quickly gather all the manpower to support the inner courtyard, and wait until all these manpower are ready, and then wipe out all the Songshan disciples gathered in the inner courtyard. If there is a disobedient person at that time, it will be killed! Liu Zhengfeng said coldly.

"Yes!" After Mi Weiyi bowed down and took the token, he quickly walked out of the main hall, and after a while, he blended into the vast night.
