Green willow village, by the mountains and rivers, Zhuang as its name.

It is a medium-sized village of fifty or sixty households, and the houses are relatively neatly planned, scattered, clean and tidy, and the smoke curls to show the tranquility and pure beauty of the countryside.

With green mountains and clear waters, the environment is quiet, and compared with the bustling frost-free city, it seems to be a paradise away from the hustle and bustle.

Although it is the end of autumn, the weeping willows by the river have only left dead branches, but there are still many evergreen trees on the mountain, and the four seasons are green and quiet.

The small river at the bottom of the mountain has clear water, the water flow is rapid and slow, and occasionally you can see a flock of ducks playing and fluttering in the water.

Liuyuan's family is a wealthy family in Luliuzhuang, located in the middle of Luliuzhuang, with ordinary rural wooden buildings on both sides.

In the whole green willow village, the Liuyuan family occupies more than half of the area, with the green mountains at its back, facing the river, pavilions and pavilions, rockeries and clear springs, and the garden is full of golden chrysanthemums.

"It's not that chrysanthemums are favored among flowers, and this flower is even more flowerless."

Walking into the manor of Liu Yuanwai's family and seeing the chrysanthemums in the garden, Mu Qianmei couldn't help but chant a poem.

"The princess is full of good sentences, and she is really an elegant person!"

Liu Yuanwai praised with a smile.

"Let the willow members laugh, this is not what I wrote, just a sigh from someone else's poem, Green Willow Village is really a good place."

Mu Qianmei replied modestly.

"Oh, why is it that the princess's book of poems is full of poets we have never heard of? And almost all of them only have the number of the poet, but there is no surname and first name, I don't know who wrote this poem, and if you are lucky enough to hear the complete verse? ”

Liu Yuanwai asked curiously.

"Huh...... This poem was written by Mr. Wei Ming, and the whole poem is 'Autumn bushes around the house like a potter's house, all over the fence is becoming more and more oblique. It's not that chrysanthemums are favored in flowers, and this flower is even more flowerless. It is indeed a rare masterpiece in chrysanthemum poetry. ”

Mu Qianmei said with a smile.

"It's really rare, compared with the chrysanthemum poem of Mr. Wuliu in the poem you wrote, it seems to be more than equal, in a poem, two winding words, but can be used so wonderfully, and the language of the whole poem is elegant and simple, easy to understand, far-reaching, I don't think I dare to say that I love chrysanthemum anymore."

Liu Yuanwai said with emotion.

As he spoke, he was about to reach the main courtyard of the village, and Liu Yuanwai first ordered the ordinary disciples who accompanied him to be arranged in the outer courtyard, and welcomed the remaining sixty people into the inner courtyard.

Fortunately, his family's manor was large enough and there were enough houses, and the arrival of more than 160 beggars did not feel crowded.

Liu Yuanwai generals Feng Tianyu, Mu Qianmei, Ouyang Bo, Liu Tingfeng and the five elders greeted the second floor of the inner hall.

The second floor is quiet and elegantly furnished, making it more suitable for discussing important matters.

Liu Yuanwai greeted everyone who had just finished drinking a cup of tea and the meal was ready, and then served the wine and food and prepared for lunch.

Chicken, duck and fish, all kinds of vegetables, meat and vegetarian matching, color, flavor and flavor.

The food and wine are fragrant and rich, and it is very hearty.

The host was hospitable, constantly greeting guests to drink and eat, and repeatedly thanked the beggars for their help.

People who know how to repay their kindness always make people feel warm in their hearts.

Full of wine and food, Liu Yuanwai knew that the beggar gang would definitely have important things to discuss, so he left with interest and gave the space to several leaders of the beggar gang.

When there were only nine leaders of the beggar gang left upstairs, Feng Tianyu asked first:

"We're coming to Frost-Free City in such a high-profile way, what will the other gangs think?"

The old Taoist priest replied with a smile:

"In fact, this time each gang will go all out to prepare for this martial arts conference, it is said that several gangs are now on the way, although the number is not as good as ours, but they are also important people from each gang."

"In addition to the Ximen family head Ximen Yixiao we met, Dongfang Yunfei, the head of the Dongfang family, Nangong Yao, the head of the Nangong family, Xiao Yuanfeng, the leader of the Qinling faction, Hua Durou, the valley master of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, and the abbot of the Tantric Buddha Sect, Master Phantom Kong

, The head of the Xuanqing Sect is a long day, and the master of the Ethereal Pavilion, Master Zhiyun, has already led the disciples of this sect on the way here. ”

"In addition, Gu Qingzhu, the leader of the Crystal Tower, Han Xiao and Leng Yao, the two immortals of the Xiaoyao Sect, and even Situ Changxiao, the leader of the Netherworld Sect, have secretly led all the disciples here."

"At this time when the heroes of the Quartet are surging, as the number one gang in the Yugu Continent, it is reasonable for us to have more people!"

After listening to Ouyang Bo's words, several people were a little nervous and excited.

What is nervous is the gathering of the strong.

I am excited that there will be another exciting showdown.

Feng Tianyu couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Okay, good, good, these old monsters have finally come out, I haven't seen them for decades, and they must have all become old men, old ladies! I hope they're all better than Simon Smile and the old fellow is pleasing to the eye. ”

Several people remembered Simon's black beard when he smiled, and they couldn't help but smile.

Mu Qianmei said with some concern:

"This time, the Netherworld Sect is secretly led by Sect Leader Situ Changxiao to come here, it must be ill-intentioned, in the Southern Tang Prairie, we have had some small frictions with him, maybe they will do something unfavorable to us!"

"After a few fights, I feel that the Netherworld Sword Technique is tricky and difficult, and there is a sense of eerie and terrifying, if Situ Changxiao personally performs it, I may not be able to catch it when I join forces with Tingfeng."

Feng Tianyu said with surprise:

"Is it really that powerful? I remember that when Ye Suifeng smiled at the rivers and lakes, he only used the first four swords of the five swords of Suifeng, and now Tingfeng can also cast the four swords, plus your butterfly dance swordsmanship is assisted by the side, is it not even sure? ”

Mu Qianmei replied seriously:

"He has been hiding in the Southern Tang Dynasty for so many years, with his talent and foundation, martial arts and swordsmanship must have made new breakthroughs, when the master was in the martial arts, he had already created the five swords with the wind, although he only used four swords, but his fifth sword can be used but not used, and now Tingfeng can't use the fifth sword, and there is still a big gap in the level."

"We didn't go head-to-head with him, both times we fought with his gang disciples, just his gang disciples, it gave us a lot of pressure, if we go head-to-head with him, with our current strength, whether we can protect ourselves is still a question, and it is basically impossible to win."

"This is a very tricky matter, although they will not participate in the martial arts tournament head-on, but it is inevitable that we will meet him in private, how will we deal with it?"

Feng Tianyu also asked with a worried face.

Mu Qianmei glanced at Liu Tingfeng and did not speak.

Ouyang Bo didn't speak.

The five elders did not speak.

Liu Tingfeng thought about it for a while, and said with some uncertainty:

"This martial arts conference, at the beginning, was to prevent our beggar gang from dominating the martial arts, and as the behind-the-scenes identity of the Eastern Qin Kingdom surfaced, the voice gradually changed to crusade against the cult, mainly against the Netherworld Sect, this is a good opportunity for us to unite with other gangs to deal with them."

Feng Tianyu said:

"Tingfeng is right, you can only hope to win if you unite with other gangs to deal with it. In fact, this time, the Netherworld Sect not only revived, but they also united with other small gangs, and their intention was also obvious, that is, to dominate the martial arts. ”

"Before the martial arts conference, we have to contact the leaders of several gangs, ventilate in advance, and we will be more relaxed when the time comes."

Ouyang Bo also agreed:

"Okay, then we'll start acting tomorrow, I'll act separately with the five elders, whether we can negotiate it or not, at least this also shows one of our attitudes!"

After speaking, several people discussed and arranged some specific details, and in the afternoon, they walked around in the Green Willow Village, looked at the scenery everywhere, and were all amazed by the architecture and layout of the Green Willow Village.

That night, Green Willow Village still provided a very rich dinner, and the host and guest got along very happily, and they ate lively until midnight.

After the excitement, the manor fell silent.

Pitch dark night

, there are no stars and no moon, the autumn wind blows, and those evergreens will make a rustling sound.

It makes such nights even more peaceful.

However, outside the entrance of the village, there was a team of uninvited guests.

According to rough estimates, there were about seventeen or eighteen people.

Black clothes, black pants, black shoes, and a black scarf mask, the whole person seems to blend into the night.

When most of the people in the building turned off the lights and went to sleep, they did not act immediately, but continued to lie and wait patiently.

After about half an hour, the people who came to the village estimated that the people in the village had completely fallen asleep, and then quietly sneaked into the village.

Since he was wearing cloth shoes on his feet, he walked cautiously, so he didn't make any noise.

Looking at their posture and pace between leaps, they are all masters of light skills.

Leaping between the walls and the houses, it was as if they were walking on the ground, and they didn't even make a sound.

And seeing that they are very familiar with their actions, they seem to know the entire Green Willow Village well, and everyone's action goals are very clear.

When he came to the courtyard of Liu Yuanwai's house, someone first solved the guard at the door silently.

Liu Yuan's family is rich and well-off, and his usual security work has always been very strict.

The perimeter of the wall is basically guarded by strong troops.

But these so-called strong soldiers, in front of the man in black, are also too weak and vulnerable, after all, they are not at the same level.

Barely making a sound, the man in black had successfully eliminated the guards outside the wall and infiltrated the wall.

There was already a faint smell of blood in the air.

Many people are unaware and continue to sleep peacefully, dreaming their own sweet dreams.

For some of them, perhaps this is the last dream.

At least four people have woken up, though.

Feng Tianyu, Ouyang Bo, Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng.

Among the four, Feng Tianyu and Ouyang Bo had deep skills, and they were the first to wake up.

They all crept up and stood in front of the window, where they saw a vague figure leaping silently in the dark night.

Mu Qianmei's nose was more sensitive, and when the faint smell of blood came, she woke up immediately.

She did not run out immediately, but quietly hid in the shadows, observing the number and movements of the enemy while thinking about what to do on her own.

Liu Tingfeng's ears were unusual, and he heard the faint sound of night walking when the enemy crossed the wall.

He didn't rush out immediately, but also made a little observation, and then tried to deal with it.

Without any discussion, the four of them almost made a unified decision.

They all looked at the four corners of the yard, and each of them chose the one closest to him, and jumped out of the window.

They unanimously made a decision to close the circle.

Four people, one of whom happened to occupy a corner, surrounded the man in black who had entered the courtyard.

The man in black intends to sneak up on the night.

Now it has become a turtle in someone else's urn in silence.

However, they don't realize it.

Still leaping away according to the location of their respective goals.

In addition to Feng Tianyu, Ouyang Bo, Mu Qianmei, and Liu Tingfeng's room, they also had five targets, which were the rooms where the five elders were.

They knew everything about it, and they even knew which room everyone was in.

Every two men in black went to the window of a room, exactly eighteen people, and they had to deal with the nine main people of the beggar gang.

Just as they were about to break through the window, four figures flew up from the four corners like lightning.

Three long swords and a wooden stick cut through the sky and attacked the eighteen men in black in the courtyard.
