Outside, torches were planted everywhere, and patrolling figures were reflected in the windows from time to time. There were about 100 bandits and sentries patrolling outside www.biquge.info Pen "Fun" Pavilion, but the cottage was surprisingly quiet, except for the occasional footsteps, not a single murmur could be heard.

Wu Zhiyuan sat on the Taishi's chair, looked at the three wooden boxes on the ground, and secretly guessed where the person who left the note came from.

Wu Zhiyuan didn't know much about the person who left the note, only the things dictated by the bearded man, but Wu Zhiyuan was seventy or eighty percent sure that he could catch the person who left the note, because in terms of vitality cultivation, ordinary people were by no means Wu Zhiyuan's opponents, and there were many patrols in the cottage, as long as this person appeared, he would definitely be captured alive.

Time passed gradually in anxious waiting, and at about the third watch, Wu Zhiyuan felt a wave of sleepiness coming, yawning a few times in succession, he picked up the teacup on the coffee table, drank a few sips of tea that had been cold, and refreshed himself.

When the night is dark, this is the most dangerous time, and the person who left the note is likely to break in the next moment.

Wu Zhiyuan was thinking about it when there was a sudden commotion outside, and at the same time he heard someone shouting: "It's on fire!" It's on fire! ”

Wu Zhiyuan sighed in his heart and abruptly stood up from his seat, but then he sat down again. Even if the world turned upside down outside, he couldn't leave this hall, and besides, the sudden fire in the middle of the night was very strange, maybe it was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Wu Zhiyuan sat next to the coffee table, picked up the teacup again, and opened the lid to find that the tea in it was gone, so he had to put the teacup down again.

At this time, you can see many figures running back and forth outside the window, some of them still holding basins in their hands, which should be those sentry posts who are in a hurry to put out the fire.

Seeing this situation, Wu Zhiyuan had a faint ominous premonition in his heart, the person who left the note was very likely to have entered the cottage and set fire to disturb the sentry's sight, the purpose was to sneak into the cottage.

At this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door outside, Wu Zhiyuan turned his head to look, and saw a black shadow reflected on the white window paper on the door frame, so he asked, "Who?" ”

The black shadow outside didn't answer Wu Zhiyuan's words, as if he hadn't heard it at all, and continued to reach out and knock on the door constantly, and one voice was louder and faster.

Wu Zhiyuan felt strange, such a blatant knock on the door must be someone from the cottage, but why didn't he squeak?

Wu Zhiyuan got up from the Taishi's chair, walked straight to the door of the hall, stretched out his hand to pull the bolt of the door, and opened the door suddenly, and in this brief moment, the black shadow reflected in the window paper on the door frame followed by a short body and disappeared.

Wu Zhiyuan looked out, there was no one, there were still sentry posts standing by the wall in the distance, and a team of patrolling people happened to pass by, so he asked, "What happened just now?" ”

The bandits on patrol recognized Wu Zhiyuan and replied: "Mr. Wu, there was smoke outside the fence just now, I don't know who lit a pile of firewood and grass there, the fire was very small, the brothers quickly extinguished it, nothing serious." ”

Wu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, nodded, turned around and returned to the hall, and closed the door with his hand.

The moment the door of the hall closed, Wu Zhiyuan hadn't turned around, and suddenly felt the light behind him dim suddenly, he suddenly turned around, and found that among the two candles burning in the hall, the one on the east side had been extinguished, and there was a black shadow lying next to the one on the west side.

The hall was plunged into darkness.

Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly reached out to take out the fire fold in his arms, but he didn't take out anything, he felt a little strange, there was obviously a fire fold in the cloth bag in his arms, how could it be inexplicably gone?

But this was not the time to study the whereabouts of the fire fold, Wu Zhiyuan took a few steps forward with his senses, and approached the center of the hall, because the three wooden boxes were placed there.

There is no doubt that the dark shadow who blew out the candle just now is the person who left the note.

Touching the black and walking to the three wooden boxes, Wu Zhiyuan reached out and touched one of the wooden boxes, he put his mind at ease, and then touched the wooden box to the side, wanting to see if the other two wooden boxes were still there, but after touching it, Wu Zhiyuan actually touched a hand, which was pressing on the second wooden box, the back of the hand was rough, and the five fingers were thick, most likely a man.

Wu Zhiyuan grabbed the wrist of that hand in his hand, and at the same time pulled it to the side, trying to pull the person aside.

At the beginning of the fight, Wu Zhiyuan retained his strength, but he did not use his vitality with this drag, but his strength was also great, the man flipped over on the spot along with Wu Zhiyuan's drag, his body rolled on the ground a few times, and finally hit the coffee table on the side, in the dark, the teacup on the coffee table fell to the ground, making a crisp sound of "pop", and he didn't want to know that he had fallen to pieces.

Wu Zhiyuan sneered and said: "With this ability, you are still arrogant and single-handedly come to get the wooden box?" ”

The man didn't respond, Wu Zhiyuan could only see a black shadow nesting next to the coffee table, the black shadow seemed to move a few times, and then there was a sound of tables and chairs rubbing against the ground, Wu Zhiyuan vaguely guessed something, secretly screamed that it was not good, and before he could dodge, a Taishi chair had already flown over and smashed heavily on his right shoulder.

The Taishi chair was made of elm, and it was very heavy, and this blow made his shoulders sore, and he couldn't use his strength.

The black shadow immediately rolled to the ground and rolled in front of Wu Zhiyuan, and out of nowhere he took out a hemp rope and quickly circled around Wu Zhiyuan's upper body a few times, trying to tie Wu Zhiyuan up.

Wu Zhiyuan was just careless for a while, and the surroundings were too dark and caught the other party's way, how could he be easily restrained by the other party? His hands were bound with hemp rope a few times, but his feet were still free, so he crouched on one foot with his left foot, and kicked his right foot at the black shadow's chest, only to hear a muffled snort, and the black shadow was kicked so that he somersaulted, and he seemed to try to hold himself back from making a sound.

Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly untied the hemp rope wrapped around his body, grabbed the hemp rope and walked in the direction of the black shadow.

Although Fang Cai's kick hit the man's chest, the kick was not serious, and when he saw Wu Zhiyuan walking towards him, he grabbed the Taishi chair beside him and smashed it towards Wu Zhiyuan.

This trick can be regarded as a repetition of the old trick, but at this time Wu Zhiyuan has taken precautions, his body flashed to the side, easily dodged, and then rushed to the front of the person with an arrow step, shook the hemp rope in his hand hard, and with a "snap", like a whip, the hemp rope was whipped on the person's body.

I don't know where the whip hit the man's body, the sound was surprisingly loud, just listening to the sound, you know how much it hurts, but the man is always silent, and he is a tough guy.

Wu Zhiyuan gritted his teeth, not giving the man any chance to resist, he threw up his arm and pulled the hemp rope down, but this time he was empty, the man jumped on the spot, jumped on the coffee table on the side, and then, around the hall a few more jumps, I don't know where he jumped, the speed is staggering.

The surroundings were too dark, Wu Zhiyuan's eyes couldn't catch the trace of the person at all, and after a while, the person stopped, and the surroundings fell into silence, and the person disappeared.

In the huge hall, there was only the sound of Wu Zhiyuan's breathing, and the person disappeared from the hall completely as if he had never been here.
