Chapter 1: The End of the Year

Next Chapter

The end of the year is approaching, even though the perennial war continues, the people still barely squeeze out a taste of the New Year, a grizzled child has eaten a full dinner, chasing and playing in the dim street, the child who ran in front occasionally falls, but also in the back of the child smirked and got up, as if nothing was right and continued to chase.

The eldest ladies looked at their children with a smile, and if the little ones were a little bumpy, they began to be vicious again, raising their voices and scolding the children to go home early.

As for the men, most of them were in a group under several red lanterns, and in the middle were two men with sad faces facing each other, looking at the tattered chess in front of them, thinking hard about their next move. The people around him were pointing fingers at the chess game and talking with relish, as if they didn't understand the truth of watching chess and not saying a true gentleman.

"Do you know? Last time I almost won against the young farmer! Just one step, one step!" a man said regretfully, and every time he remembered the last time the young owner of Yujiazhuang came out to deliver grain, he couldn't help but regret the game of chess he played.

Unexpectedly, his words resonated with more people, as if they all lost to the young owner in this way.

An old man shook his head with a smile, patted the man on the shoulder, and said happily: "Silly boy! Do you think this is a coincidence? What level is the young owner? Let me tell you, he has never lost since he was five years old!"

"Tsk, what a genius!" the man understood, and laughed wryly.

When it came to this young owner, everyone also began to discuss. Some people praise him for his intelligence, he can understand everything at the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting; some people praise his character, he has no young master's frame at all, and treats the poor people very close and gentle; and many people feel sorry for him, his body is weak and tight, and he is always sick......

Some well-informed people said that the young owner was actually hit by a peerless poison, and also said that his life would not be saved for a few years at most.

However, everyone does not believe this kind of news, and they do not want to believe it. Because this year, thanks to Yujiazhuang's help, a large amount of food was sent to the people of this village, and this time a few more red lanterns were specially brought, which made them happy, not to mention the children, and the adults were happy. For the nine-year-old child who walked in front of the front with a bag of rice in his arms, everyone was very grateful and liked it very much.

However, the young owner of the village, Young Master Yu Zizhou, who everyone likes, is now unhappy.

Today is Yu Zizhou's ninth birthday, but his mother was invited to a banquet that he had to go. I heard that the other party is the left minister of the neighboring country 'Han'. It is often said that he is the biggest official in South Korea, but Yu Zizhou understands very well that this person is not willing to be an official.

In recent years, it has been an eventful time, and it is not a big deal to succeed in succession, as can be seen from his ostentatious banquet for his mother.

"This sinister dead old man!" Yu Zizhou scolded angrily, and put all his dissatisfaction on the left minister.

"Ouch, Young Master Zhou, as soon as I walked away, you started scolding me again. A somewhat rickety old man walked from behind Yu Zizhou, took a coat in his hand, and put it on Yu Zizhou's shoulders with care.

"Grandpa Ji, it's not you who I'm scolding, when did you hear me scolding you behind my back!" Yu Zizhou tightened his coat with a smile, and said with a smile, seeing the satisfaction on the face of the old housekeeper Ding Ji, he deliberately added another sentence: "I didn't scold you in front of you!"

"Ahem... You kid... Ahem......" Ding Ji was immediately choked and coughed violently when he heard this.

Yu Zizhou also looked apologetic when he saw the old man like this, and hurriedly patted the latter's bent old back lightly.

The old housekeeper looked at the look on the young owner's face, and suddenly smiled evilly, "Hehe, Young Master Zhou, don't you know what ginger or old spicy is! Ahem..."

"Ouch, don't play with you, don't really cough to death. Zizhou looked at the indecent old man helplessly, patting the old housekeeper on the back while helping him to prepare to enter the door.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

......

Zizhou was at the door, someone called him, when he walked into the door, someone called him, when he walked into the hall, someone called him...

Although he should have gotten used to it a long time ago, Zizhou was still a little unaccustomed to being constantly harassed like this on such a day when he was not in the mood.

"Grandpa Ji, go to the study and accompany me to play a game of chess. Zizhou suddenly proposed.

The old housekeeper's face was embarrassed, the little young master's mind was not that he didn't know, it was just that he didn't want to see these wooden people. However, the owner's study is not in and out at will, let alone in the absence of the owner.

But looking at the pleading on the young master's face, and today was his birthday, the old housekeeper finally agreed to it.

"Haha! Today I want to use a white zi, every time I play chess with the old sword, he rushes to use a white zi, so old and doesn't let me go first, it's really stingy. Yu Zizhou happily jumped on the cushion, picked up a smooth and translucent white seed and placed it at a certain intersection point.

"Young Master Zhou, you are naughty again. The old housekeeper also laughed when he saw Zizhou's happy appearance, and when he sat on the couch with a slight tremble, the first sunspot also fell.

"Wow, Grandpa Ji's chess skills are really ...... Xiao Sheng admired!" Yu Zizhou dropped the second white seed very noisily, and his excited expression was really wonderful.

Young Master Zhou, you are also an expert! This step of yours alone is enough to see your talent in the heavens and latitudes! En...... Presumably the direction of this game has been firmly controlled by you, right?" The old butler was also mobilized by Yu Zizhou, and played very cooperatively, holding the second black piece and swaying on the chess game, and finally chose a position and pressed it hard!

"Wow! Wonderful, wonderful! I really never dreamed that you would take this step! Not good, very bad......" Yu Zizhou frowned, touched his chin, stared at the four chess pieces on the table with his eyes, his expression was very sad, and one right hand kept touching the chess bowl containing the white pieces.

"Huh?" Yu Zizhou, who was supposed to continue playing like this, suddenly sighed lightly and looked at the white chess bowl with a strange expression.

"Young Master Zhou, what's wrong?" Ding Ji asked.

"No, why does this chess bowl seem to be different?" Yu Zizhou fiddled curiously, put his hand into the chess bowl, and finally touched something like a wrench, and pulled it hard......

This pull directly led to a burst of screams, and the two of them fell directly from the couch into a secret passage one after the other.

"Ji... Lucky... Grandpa Ji, you crushed me......" Zizhou was sat under Ding Ji's buttocks, moaning desperately, his always pale face was a little red and purple at this time, and it looked very terrifying at first glance.

"Ouch, who are you!" The old butler was startled by the person under him, and only after looking carefully did he recognize that it was his young master, and quickly helped him up.

"Really, no wonder I don't let me sit in Baizi every time, it turns out that there is still such a place hidden. Yu Zizhou took away Ding Ji's hand that was touching his body, patted the dust on his body, and studied this secret passage with an excited face.

"I said Young Master Zizhou, this black and black, you better not run around. The old housekeeper followed behind Yu Zizhou and said worriedly, this kind of place always made him feel uncomfortable.

"Are you kidding me? Yu Zizhou was quite bold, and he didn't see the slightest panic in the darkness, but calmly moved forward step by step.

The old butler was right to think about it, so he groped his way and followed.

"Haha, there's light. Not long after moving, Yu Zizhou suddenly laughed, and finally saw a flash of light in front of him.

Moving on, there was a surface of water at the end, and a faint moonlight refracted from it. Only then did Yu Zizhou understand that the secret passage was connected to the outside by waterway.

This waterhole is naturally warm, and it is still steaming under the cold winter moon.

Yu Zizhou's body is weak, but his water nature is not bad, and he swam over with the old housekeeper. So far, the two have gone through a lot of hardships and finally seen the light of day again.

Twisting the clothes on their bodies, the two hurriedly looked for a way back, fortunately, the moon is quite big today, and they can see the surroundings clearly.

"It seems that the deployment here is also the place of our mountain villa, but why don't I seem to have never been here?" Yu Zizhou muttered, turning his gaze to the old butler next to him, hoping to seek answers from him, but what Yu Zizhou saw was Ding Ji with a frightened face.

"It's... This is a forbidden place!!Go back!Go back!" Ding Ji pushed Yu Zizhou tremblingly, with a panicked expression.

However, just as Yu Zizhou was about to return the same way as he said, he heard a cold voice coming from a corner not far away.

"Since you're here, don't go. ”

A black shadow swished out of the corner and stood in front of the two of them. This man is thin, but he is full of strength and agility in his movements, and he is clearly a master. He had a long box in his left arm, and there was a faint aura inside.

"Who are you, dare to come here to steal!" the old butler shouted angrily, he never expected that someone would be able to sneak in here and steal this forbidden object, besides, the reason why he was so anxious to let Yu Zizhou go back just now was because this thing must not meet the latter!

"Oh, I'm afraid I'm taking something wrong, so thank you for the reminder. The man in black smiled gloomily, slowly opened the box, took out a slender blade more than four feet long, and after watching it carefully for a while, he couldn't help but admire: "This is the kiss, no wonder it is called the 'Evil Sword Demon Knife', I can feel that it contains incomparably powerful power!"

"Hmph, I'm afraid it's not something you can control! Come on!" Ding Ji roared, his voice was extremely loud, his chest was straightened, and Yu Zizhou, who was tightly protected by him, looked at this familiar old butler, and suddenly felt that he didn't look like the bad old man just now.

"Hehe, I'm afraid that the person you want to call will not come. The man in black looked leisurely, not afraid of the old man's throat.

Ding Ji's face slowly darkened, there are a group of masters around the forbidden land who will not leave no matter what happens, and now they have not appeared, they must have been solved by the person in front of them, the situation is not good......

Ding Ji quickly took out a cylinder from his arms, pulled it with all his might, and saw a firelight swishing from the cylinder into the air, and a spark exploded.

The man in black looked at the old man, his originally playful eyes slowly became gloomy, and a strong killing intent also spread, and even Yu Zizhou, who was hiding behind the old housekeeper, trembled.

"Hmph, I originally wanted to have a good time with your grandfather and grandson, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant, since this is the case, you all die!" As the word 'death' burst out, the man in black suddenly stepped on his left foot, and with a leap, he was already approaching the old and young, and the slender blade in his hand was pointed directly at the old man's heart.

"Run!" Ding Ji shouted and turned around, wanting to push Yu Zizhou away, but he didn't expect that the word 'run' had just come out, and before he could exert his strength, a snowy blade had already passed through his chest......

Ding Ji, who was kissed diagonally through his heart, was instantly climbed up with strange black markings, and the breath of life faded rapidly, and in less than a breath, this old life was completely swallowed by the kiss. However, the horror in the old butler's eyes had not yet faded, and that panic did not come from the fact that his life was about to wither, but because the chest-piercing blade did not pause at all, and rushed to the heart of Young Master Zhou at a tricky angle......

"Perfect!" the man in black smiled cruelly, obviously he was extremely satisfied with the angle of his stab, one sword pierced the heart, and one sword pierced the heart, and it was indeed a thing to be happy and show off for a person like him.

"Well, what's going on?" Suddenly, the man in black sighed and found something strange, the blade of the kiss couldn't be pulled out!

'Something is wrong...'

The black-clothed man's heart tightened, and an uneasy emotion was like the black curse carried by the evil sword and demon knife, slowly, little by little, clinging to his heart, making him let go of his hand in fear.

Looking at the two people standing there, motionless, the man in black only felt a cold sweat on his back, an excellent killer who has killed countless people, his sense of smell of death is often the most sensitive, and at this time, the man in black smelled an extremely strong smell of death.

'No!' the man in black turned abruptly and flew into the air at a speed several times faster than before.

As it turned out, this man was indeed a very good killer.

Just as he turned and leaped into the air, he saw the nine-year-old child who had been pierced through the heart. This child, who must have been completely dead, appeared under the full moon and above his head with both hands in his hands.

A pair of blood-red violent eyes looked at him like a corpse, and the kiss in his hand, the red markings were writhing uneasily on the blade, as if he was longing for something.

In the face of such Yu Zizhou, the black man couldn't make any reaction, he could only watch the blade of the kiss slowly fall......

That's what it's really ...... Kiss ......'

Maybe this is the last wisp of the man in black when he was split in half......
