Meanwhile.

In his own house, Chen Zheng did not rest, but stood in front of the window, staring at the dark night outside the window, and waited silently:

"It's almost four watches, and I don't know if the master's side is going well......"

Because he hadn't seen Master Lei Yunting during the day, he didn't know if the martial arts field had locked Yin Zongnan's hiding place, and what the plan of action was.

However, if you want to come to the three martial arts masters, it will not be a problem to deal with a Yin Zongnan.

It's just that he couldn't participate, which is really a pity.

And at this very moment.

Suddenly there was a cacophony in the dark neighborhood nearby, all the shouts and running of the Wehrmacht: it seemed as if all the sergeants in the area were alarmed.

Well?

Chen Zheng's heart moved, walked out of the house, and listened:

"Hurry, something big is wrong......"

"Lord Commander summons all Centurion and above officers ......"

"The warden was assassinated...... City-wide search for ......"

Ouyang Ji was assassinated?

Master, why did they do it directly to him?

Chatting only a few words drifted into his ears, Chen Zheng's eyes froze, and doubts appeared in his heart.

After all, the information he learned when he met Yun Lan was that the master and the other two banner masters of the Getian Dao had discovered the clues of Yin Zongnan by scaring the snake, and how could the target jump to Ouyang Ji at once?

What's going on here?

Suddenly, Chen Zheng had a lot of thoughts, hesitating whether to go to the martial arts dojo now to see the situation.

And at this very moment.

When, dangdang.

On the wall outside the house, there were suddenly a few rhythmic knocking sounds, and as soon as Chen Zheng's eyes moved, he saw a figure leaping past and landing in the courtyard.

"Third Senior Brother?"

Even if the other party was wearing a night suit, Chen Zheng recognized the person at once and immediately stepped forward to greet him:

"What's going on outside, Master, how are they doing?"

Chen Zheng did not maintain his hidden mind at the moment, it was his original appearance, and Ji Xunyi was able to find this place, so he naturally left the address for Yun Lan before, so that the martial arts dojo could contact him.

"Old Five, you kid!"

After not seeing him for many days, Ji Xunyi patted Chen Zheng's shoulder fiercely, and then sighed after walking quickly into the house:

"Master, their actions are not going well, just now, he and the two banner masters failed to assassinate Ouyang Ji, and the officers and soldiers of the whole city should immediately search for him."

Chen Zheng immediately asked:

"Master, didn't they have to deal with Yin Zongnan first, why did the target become Ouyang Ji again? He's not hurt, is he? ”

Ji Xunyi said quickly:

"Yin Zongnan has been captured and killed by the master at the time of the third watch. Through this person, we learned that Ouyang Ji colluded with the Blood Spirit Dao, which turned out to be a strange evil art that could make people have a spiritual root the day after tomorrow. ”

Chen Zheng was slightly surprised: "The day after tomorrow has a spiritual root?" ”

"Yes, I just knew. Although the spiritual root is innate, there is something, and if there is not, there is nothing, but there was a real celestial who studied the strange magic of using the spiritual root as firewood to condense the acquired blood spiritual root. The first generation of the ancestor of the Blood Spirit Dao was a disciple of this celestial, so he also mastered this evil art. ”

Ji Xunyi said coldly:

"The Deshan Hall of the Blood Spirit Dao, with the cover of Ouyang Ji, can unscrupulously search for spiritual roots in the city and use them as materials for experimental evil arts. After knowing this, the master and the others were furious, and they were worried that Yin Zongnan's disappearance would make the other party completely guarded, so they thought about a quick battle and eliminated the evil.

But I didn't think that Ouyang Ji's cultivation was no less than that of the master, and his means were quite a lot, not only with the heavenly talisman, but also with the magic talisman refined by the real people of the Dan Realm, this kind of talisman can stimulate the power of heaven and earth, and it is difficult for martial arts masters to resist, so the master and they fell short and retreated with injuries. ”

Chen Zheng didn't care to ask about the supernatural power talisman, and said awefully:

"How is Master's injury?"

"It's okay, it's not serious."

Ji Xunyi said:

"He asked me to let you know so that you don't have to worry."

"That's fine......"

Chen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly:

"By the way, Master, they failed to assassinate, will Ouyang Ji recognize him?"

Ji Xunyi groaned:

"Probably not...... Master They wore masks, made strict disguises, did not show their true faces, and the martial arts they used were not martial arts field masters, Ouyang Ji and the master only had a few faces, and they should not be suspicious of the master's head. ”

"Senior brother, Ouyang Ji can't be treated with common sense."

Chen Zheng was not so optimistic, and said solemnly:

"If I hadn't investigated the matter of Deshantang before, he might not have suspected the master, but after my incident, it is difficult to guarantee that he will have any associations, even if the master is a respected martial arts celebrity on the surface, he has to guard against it."

Ji Xunyi said awe-inspiringly:

"You're right, I'll remind Master when I go back, take precautions in advance, and be more careful yourself."

The situation outside became urgent, Ji Xunyi didn't have time to stay longer, and left the courtyard after saying a few more words.

Although Chen Zheng wanted to visit Lei Yunting, he still didn't go with him after thinking about the situation.

Staring at the unquiet darkness outside, his brow furrowed, and his heart was a little worried.

He really didn't expect that his master, along with the two martial arts master-level Heaven Dao Banner Masters, would not even talk about Ouyang Ji taking it.

If the assassination is successful, then everything is easy to say, but now the situation will definitely face Ouyang Ji's pursuit and counterattack.

And first he killed the official and escaped because of the matter of Deshan Hall, and then the master and others blatantly assassinated, Ouyang Ji could not guarantee that he would not suspect the head of the Daowu Dojo, if any clues were found, it would be a catastrophe for the hundreds of disciples and disciples in the dojo!

"No, Ouyang Ji, you have to die!"

Chen Zheng took a deep breath:

"To refine qi, you must break through to the secret realm of qi refining as soon as possible!

”

......

Early the next morning.

The news that the county guard Ouyang Ji was seriously injured in an attack in front of the gate of the mansion swept through the city like a stormy wave.

Whether it is a peddler or a warrior, their jaws dropped when they heard the news, and they couldn't believe it.

The text of the thief was spread early yesterday morning, and no one expected that in just one night, the Changing Heaven Dao Chaos Party would do what it said and really assassinate Ouyang Ji!

"Obediently, the people of the Heavenly Dao, they are really not afraid of death, and the county guards dare to assassinate them!?"

"What kind of people are Ge Tiandao, how can there be officials they dare not kill? Not to mention that Ouyang Ji is a county guard, even the state pastor and even the feudal officials, they are all killed! ”

"Look at it like this, what the thief said in the article should be true...... This Ouyang Ji is really a dog official! Why didn't the heroes of the Heavenly Dao slaughter him? ”

"Shhhh

"Who knows what happened to the county keeper?"

"I heard from the kid in my family who was a soap official in the government that there were three people who assassinated the county guard, and each of them was a martial arts master level in the Qi Refining Secret Realm! In the end, although the county guard forced the three assassins back, he was also seriously injured! ”

"Shhh...... Three martial arts masters surround and kill, and the county guards can resist it? So what kind of cultivation is he? ”

"I don't know...... Anyway, I heard that last night there was more than a mile near the county guard's mansion, and it sounded like thunder! Haven't you been there to see it, the entire bluestone-paved street is ruined, and even the gate of the county guard house has collapsed! ”

"My mother-in-law, those three Heavenly Dao assassins are so powerful?"

"This is not nonsense what you are talking about, the martial arts master of the Qi Refining Secret Realm, what kind of person is that? I just can't figure out how the county guard can resist this level of assassination......"

As the news spread, the whole city was in a state of uproar, with some clapping their hands and some regretting and worrying about the three assassins.

As for the big-headed soldiers of the official service, they were not in such a good mood, and one of them was all gathered in the middle of the night, and the whole city searched for clues, and they are still searching aimlessly on the carpet.

And at the same time.

The county guard mansion with the collapsed gate was full of sergeants on the entire avenue in front of the gate, and the garrison was extremely tight.

The house is in the living room.

Ouyang Ji, who was wearing a robe and had a pale face, walked out slowly with the support of his subordinates.

The two middle-aged and elderly men who were waiting in the hall with deep breath and majestic faces immediately got up to greet them, and said extremely solemnly:

"Lord Gunsho, are you alright?"

These two people, their breath is as deep as the sea and thick as a mountain, and they are obviously high-ranking people, Ouyang Ji coughed in a low voice and said:

"It's okay, thank you two for waiting in my house so far."

Two middle-aged men frowned:

"The county guard is polite, the anti-party dog of Ge Tiandao dares to assassinate you, but we have not considered the precautions in advance, it is really dereliction of duty!"

"From today onwards, the two of us will personally protect you, if those three rebels dare to come again, we will not want our lives, and we will also kill the thieves!"

is about forty years old, named Yan Shizhang, the director of the criminal arrest department.

An Taiming, who is fifty years old and slightly old, is enshrined in the army and the head of the defense army.

And these two people are all at the level of martial arts masters. It is also one of the few Dinghai Shenshen needle-level figures in the Lingqiu County Government who can really suppress the heroes of the rivers and lakes!

Facing Yan Shizhang and An Taiming's angry words, Ouyang Ji did not refuse, but said slowly:

"Thank you both. The defense force of my county guard is not enough to deal with three martial arts masters, and with two of them, I can rest assured. ”

In last night's battle, while his hole cards were all played, he was definitely not lightly injured.

Although he will not worry about his life, his strength will be affected, and if the three assassins came to the door last night, he would not be able to resist it.

Yan Shizhang said solemnly:

"Your Excellency, what is the appearance of the three people who assassinated you, and what kind of martial arts did they use, can you recognize the origin?"

Ouyang Ji's eyes were cold:

"Those three people are normal body shapes, nothing out of the ordinary, and they have masks on their faces, so they can't even see their eyebrows. As for martial arts...... This official is not familiar with it, and may not be a local person in Lingqiu County. ”

"That's going to be difficult......"

The old and steady An Taiming frowned and said:

"If these three rebels don't die, we still have a chance, if they can't strike a blow and run away, it will be difficult to catch them again...... On the county guard's side, are there any other clues related to the Heavenly Dao? ”

Ouyang Ji's face was expressionless:

"Other...... Then there is only the Chen Zheng who killed the official in front of the court some time ago and rebelled and escaped. This person has not been caught so far, and I suspect that the three rebels who assassinated me have an inseparable relationship with him. ”

Ever since Chen Zheng began to investigate Deshantang, all his plans have been disrupted little by little.

First of all, Deshantang was almost recognized, and then the other party killed the official and rebelled and fled, and then there was the thief and the assassination last night, all of which showed that these two were most likely the same group.

"So, Chen Zheng is also a rebel against the party?"

Yan Shizhang and An Taiming naturally heard the ins and outs of the past, and after glancing at each other, they frowned and said:

"Then this person ......"

Before he finished speaking, a rush of footsteps came from outside.

Then he saw a subordinate standing at the door, and reported cautiously:

"Lord County Guard, there are many people who come from outside to visit and comfort you, basically some wealthy merchants and gentry in this city, as well as several famous people in the martial arts, do you think you should send them away first, or?"

"Martial arts celebrity?"

Ouyang Ji's eyes narrowed:

"Is there a thunder cloud in the Thunder Martial Arts Dojo?"

The subordinate thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "This one seems to be there." ”

Ouyang Ji's eyes flashed: "Okay, please come in the part with identity." ”

The subordinates immediately took the order to leave, but Yan Shizhang and An Taiming heard an unusual taste:

"Why did Your Excellency ask the minefield master of the Thunder Martial Arts Dojo?"

Ouyang Ji said: "You don't know, the reason why Chen Zheng was able to enter the official mansion was because of the relationship between the Thunder Martial Arts Dojo from the beginning. ”

The two people below were slightly shocked when they heard this:

"Could it be that this thundercloud ......?"

"Whether it's or not, we'll find out later."

Ouyang Ji sneered:

"Among the three rebels who assassinated this official last night, the strongest person at the head was not lightly injured under the counterattack of this official, in addition to this official, if there is any martial arts master in this Lingqiu County who is suddenly injured, then he must be the rebel party of the Heavenly Dao!"

Yan Shizhang and An Taiming glanced at each other, and they were secretly shocked.

At this time, several subordinates had already led a group of people through the vestibule to the waiting room.

In this line, there are about more than ten people, all of them are either rich or noble, and their bearing is extraordinary, either they are the presidents of several large chambers of commerce, or the famous people from martial arts such as the martial arts dojos of various dart bureaus.

Among them, Lei Yunting is in the forefront.

I saw the thunder clouds at this moment, with a ruddy complexion and a vigorous posture, and walked quickly into the hall with a group of people.

Seeing Ouyang Ji's obvious pale face and seriously injured, everyone present was shocked, Lei Yunting led people to take a step forward, bowed to Ouyang Ji with great concern, and said:

"I've seen Your Excellency the County Guard, but your injuries are still fine?!"

"I and other people were shocked to hear that the adult was assassinated last night, and I was anxious, and I didn't know what the situation was, so I came to the mansion to disturb him, don't blame ......."

Well?

Lei Yunting's voice was like a bell when he spoke, his face was full of red light, and his breath did not show the slightest malaise, and Ouyang Ji's eyes suddenly narrowed.
