readx;?“ What the hell is going on?" Xie Yun asked anxiously, when he saw that this person was full of embarrassment, the first thing that came to his mind was that the matter had been revealed, this matter had been noticed by Lou Zong, and Lou Zong had already begun to plan revenge. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIf that's the case, it's not a good thing.

Under Yin Xi's support, the big man endured the weakness of his body, and quickly explained while thinking: "Second son, we arrived at Lou Zheng's residence and found that the room was empty, and later after investigation, it was found that the mattress was still gentle, that is to say, Lou Zheng had just left the residence not long ago, so our brothers searched around Lou Zheng's residence, and followed the footprints and clues left behind We traced all the way out of the South City Gate, and later in the wilderness of more than ten miles outside the South Gate, we were ambushed......

"What??," Xie Yun asked with a frown, "Who ambushed you?" Could it be someone from Lou Zong?"

"I don't know!" said the big man with a guilty face, "The man was dressed in black, wearing a hat, and his speed was so fast, that several of us didn't react at all, and many of the brothers were knocked unconscious by the man before they could even draw their knives." ”

"In this way, that person should be an extremely strong cultivation master!" Yin Xi analyzed, "Although these brothers of mine have average cultivation, they still have the most basic ability. To be able to defeat them in an instant, that person must not be easy. By the way, was Lou Zheng with that mysterious person at that time?"

"Yes, because we were in ambush, Lou Zheng was hung from a dead tree not far from us!" Dahan affirmed.

"Lou Zheng was hung from a tree?" Xie Yun immediately heard the clue in the Han language, "Do you mean that the master is not from Lou Zong, and he took Lou Zheng away not to save him, but to deal with him." ”

"I feel so. Dahan said, "Lou Zheng was hanging from a tree, Lou Zheng was motionless when we saw it, life and death were uncertain, if this person was Lou Zong's person, he would not treat Lou Zheng like this." ”

"And he took Lou Zheng is all the way to the south, and Lou Zong is in the east of the closed city, so this person shouldn't be Lou Zong's person!" Yin Xi nodded and agreed.

"Since this person has already done something to you, and his methods are so good, why didn't he kill you?" Xie Yun asked with a frown, "According to what you said, it should be easy for that person to kill you!"

"I don't understand that, but the man did only hurt us, not kill us. Dahan whispered while reminiscing, "In the end, the brothers were knocked unconscious by that man, and I was the first to wake up, so I rushed back first to report to the second son." ”

Xie Yun nodded solemnly, although he hadn't figured out who this person was, but at least from the fact that he didn't kill these Wenyang warriors, it was enough to see that this person should not be the enemy of his own side.

"Second son, should we give a message back to Lord Lu about this matter?" Yin Xi asked softly.

"Yifan is now thinking of a way, how can he make these Lou Sect disciples willing to submit, there is no need to alarm him in this matter. Xie Yun said with a serious expression, "Yifan, Ji Yuan, Liu Sandao and me, everyone has their own things to do. If we can't solve it, it's our own problem, and we can't make trouble for them because of our own affairs!"

"The second son means ......"

"Lead the way, I'm going to the south of the city to see it myself!" Xie Yun looked straight and said loudly, "Everything has to be seen in person before you can have the next plan." ”

"Yes!"

......

The sun sets and night falls.

Thirteen miles away from the south gate of the closed city is a lonely wilderness, although it has just fallen into the night, but the biting cold wind is still quietly blowing, the cold wind rolls up the dust and stones on the wilderness, through some dead trees and some ruins left by I don't know how many years ago, in the dark and endless night sky there is a sound like a beast roaring wind howl, people can't help but feel a heartfelt palpitation.

Man's fear of nature, of the endless wilderness and the vast night, comes from the depths of the heart, not from the consciousness.

With the sound of hurried horses' hooves, I saw more than a dozen fast horses galloping towards this place from the direction of the closed city, and a group of big men following behind Xie Yun each had a dazzling torch in their hands, bringing a rare glimmer of light to the darkness here.

Along the way, they also met some Wenyang brothers who were gradually waking up and were rushing to the lockdown city, and under their guidance, Xie Yun and the others soon came to the place where they were ambushed.

"Second son, this is probably it!" a big man pointed ahead and said respectfully, "That's when we chased here and were ambushed. ”

"Here?" Xie Yun sat on his horse, raised his eyes and looked at the surrounding scene, in addition to the endless night, there was only a dead silence left, and there was no shadow of human activity at all, "It seems that the master has left here!"

"It should be, we were ambushed two hours ago, so ......"

"Wait a minute!" Before the man could finish speaking, Xie Yun's eyes suddenly froze, and then he stretched out his hand to point to a shadow in the darkness in the distance, and asked loudly, "What is that?"

Following the direction of Xie Yun's finger, Yin Xi and the others raised their eyes one after another, but what they saw in their eyes was nothing abnormal except for a dark chaos.

"Second Son......"

"There's someone, let's go over and take a look!" Before Yin Xi could open his mouth, Xie Yun suddenly raised his horsewhip, and with a neighing horse, he raised his front hooves and galloped towards the darkness in the distance.

"Hurry up, keep up with the second son!" Yin Xi hurriedly shouted when he saw this, and then took the lead in carrying the torch and following the horse.

Xie Yun saw it well, there was indeed someone there, not so much a person, but more accurately a dead man hanging from a dead tree.

The night was dark and the wind was high, and on the outskirts of the wilderness city, on top of a dead tree nearly three people high, a corpse hung in the air. The corpse swayed gently back and forth in the wind, and under the dim moonlight, the scene was unusually terrifying.

"It's him, Lou Zheng!" a big man walked up to him with a torch and couldn't help but exclaim, "Today we had vaguely seen him hanging here before he was ambushed, we thought that the mysterious master would take him away, but we never expected Lou Zheng to die here in the end!"

"Put him down!" Xie Yun leaned forward slightly, his eyes solemnly examined the corpse hanging from the tree, this person had just died, so the corpse was not eroded by the wind and sand in the desert, and it was still roughly the same as before death.

"Second son, this person was strangled to death by this rope!" Yin Xi, who had carefully investigated the cause of Lou Zheng's death, said loudly, "Except for the strangulation marks on the neck, there are no other fatal injuries on the body." I think he was knocked unconscious and hanged here before he died. As he spoke, Yin Xi also put the torch in his hand close to the neck of Lou Zheng's corpse, and at this moment, an obvious purple-black blood mark was floating there.

"Being hanged alive?" Xie Yun frowned and secretly analyzed everything, "Kill people, it seems that the person who killed Lou Zheng and the person who ambushed you should be the same, and this person also has a grudge against Lou Zong!"

"Second son, what should we do now?" Yin Xi asked, "Will Lou Zheng be discovered by Lou Zong when he dies, so that he will be startled." ”

"I can't say this either!" Xie Yun said faintly, "Bring his body back first, the matter has come to this point and the stakes are very important, we must let Yifan know the current situation, as for what to do next, we should wait until we discuss with Yifan before deciding." ”

After saying that, Xie Yun glanced sideways at the corpse lying on the ground again, and a touch of helpless bitterness flashed in his eyes.

After making up his mind, Xie Yun didn't hesitate too much, and quickly left here with someone riding his horse and whip, and galloped away in the direction of the closed city.

About a stick of incense time, a lone fast horse turned back suddenly, and then killed here like a gust of storm, and immediately sat Xie Yun with a gloomy face, I saw him standing with a cloud-piercing spear in his hand, he didn't bring a torch, but his dark and bright eyes were still carefully examining everything around him, the reason why he would come back halfway was to find out if there was anyone here.

Xie Yun rode his horse here for a long time, and then shook his head unwillingly, then turned the horse's head and walked away, and finally disappeared completely into the endless night.

And just a moment after Xie Yun left, two figures suddenly walked out from behind a broken wall in the far side of the desert, one of them was dressed in black and wore a hat to see his face clearly, and although the other person also wrapped himself extremely tightly, he still revealed his identity under the moonlight, it was the merchant who had appeared in the closed city inn, Qi Shan.

"Hurt but not killed, why?" Qi Shan asked lightly.

"Today, I will only kill the people of Lou Zong!" The mysterious man in black said lightly, and then he slowly turned around and faced Qi Shan, although there was a hat and black yarn separating him, Qi Shan could still feel this person's cold gaze, "This is also the agreement between you and me in this business, isn't it?

"Hehe......" Hearing this person's words, Qi Shan actually laughed, "I didn't expect you to be a shrewd businessman." ”

"I'm not a businessman, but I'll have to be shrewd when dealing with you!" said the mysterious man coldly, without a hint of emotion in his words.

"But to be honest, I really appreciate you!" Qi Shan suddenly changed his words and said lightly, "The so-called life is like a gamble, but being a player is never as good as being a banker." After this business is over, I will push you into the game, if you make a banker, you will win more than me!"

"Let's talk about this later! I have no interest in the game you are talking about, whether I am a dealer or not!" The mysterious man said and disappeared into the endless night again, and Qi Shan was not annoyed, but a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he turned around and left there.

"Don't worry, you'll agree sooner or later......"

......

At this moment, Lu Yifan is sitting on the main seat, Mu Dan, Han Ling'er, Xie Yun and Fang Qingyun are sitting on both sides, and Yin Xi and others are holding sharp knives at the door.

Lu Yifan's eyes narrowed slightly, staring thoughtfully at the candlestick next to him, two faint flames in his eyes were gently swaying, these two flames were just like Lu Yifan's mood at the moment, restless and uneasy.

"I didn't expect that in addition to us, there were people secretly dealing with the people of Lou Zong. Lu Yifan muttered to himself.

"Not only that, but this person is also very likely to know our whereabouts!" Xie Yun said softly, "If not, why didn't this master make a move sooner or later, but just when we made a move?" And there are so many disciples of the Lou Sect, why would he just deal with the one we are looking for?"

"Could it be a coincidence?" Fang Qingyun opened his mouth and said, "Maybe he, like us, was also oppressed and hurt by the Lou Sect, so now he has decided to take revenge, but in the process of his revenge, he accidentally met our people." ”

"If that's the case, then it's much simpler!" Mu Dan said, "But is there really such a coincidental thing in the world?" and he knocked all our people unconscious, but he didn't kill the killer, which is enough to show that he at least knows that we are not in the same group as Lou Zong." ”

"What Mu Dan said is right, there are not many people who dare to go against Lou Zong in this place of the closed city, and this master does not kill our people, which does show that he knows that some of us and his purpose are the same, both to deal with Lou Zong. In other words, they are all enemies of the Lou Sect!" Lu Yifan said thoughtfully, "It's just that the question I'm most worried about now is, how much does this mysterious master know about us?"

"If he knows everything about us, it means that this man knows that we are going to arrest him alive, but he still kills Lou Zheng, then this person is definitely not a friend to us! Han Ling'er frowned slightly, and speculated softly, "And if he doesn't know much about us, only that we are also dealing with Lou Zong, but we don't know our specific plan, then will he inadvertently sabotage our overall plan?" You must know that there are still two full days before the Flower Noodles Festival, and if this mysterious master does something out of the ordinary during these two days, then Lou Zong will definitely be aware of it, and it will not be easy for us to use the Flower Noodles Festival to deal with the Five Tigers of Lou Sect." ”

"Yes, if Lou Zong has the heart to take precautions, then the five tigers of Lou Zong will definitely not leave Lou Zong's lair so easily!" Lu Yifan nodded and said, "There is also the purpose of this mysterious person, it seems to be an enemy but not an enemy, a friend is not a friend, and we have to guard against it." At the very least, we have to make a little more preparation before we can figure out the purpose and identity of this person. Now that there is an undercurrent surging in the lockdown, it seems that it is far from being as simple as we imagined!"

"Yes, I originally thought that Lou Zong was in the light, and we were in the dark, so it would be much easier to do things, but I never thought that today there was a mysterious master hidden deeper than us outside of us!" Mu Dan said worriedly, "I don't know if there are other forces in this small lockdown that are quietly watching our movements!"

"Undercurrents are surging...... Lu Yifan muttered to himself, and at the same time, his fingers also lightly tapped on the tabletop, and the knuckles knocked on the table to make a monotonous but regular crisp sound, "The undercurrents are surging, I hope these undercurrents will not form turbulence at that time!"

With Lu Yifan's sigh, the hall fell into a depression again.
