The rivers and lakes have always been a few happy and a few sad, some people are frustrated, and some people are proud, the Fang family is losing and retreating, and when the head of the family is entangled in enduring humiliation and sacrificing his life, the Huo family is advancing vigorously, and victory is already in sight.

Huo Yun achieved such a big victory at the beginning, which made those who supported the Huo family feel extremely excited.

Sending charcoal in the snow is always more heartwarming, and these people who helped the Huo family when they were in trouble can feel the rich rewards from the Huo family at this moment.

As long as the Huo family becomes strong again, these people will become the guests of the Huo family whenever they get Huo Yunqi's favor.

That night, at the Huo family's banquet, Huo Yunqi was full of spirits, changing his calm appearance in the past, but he did not seem too wanton and arrogant, as the winner, he should be so public.

At the banquet, the shopkeeper Wu looked a little absent-minded, but the wine was in front, but he was a little difficult to swallow, looking at Huo Yunqi, who was praised by everyone, I have to say that he regretted it a little.

Although he had also recognized Huo Yunqi's talent, thinking that with the other party's ability, he would sooner or later break out of his own world in the Eastern Capital, but he never expected that this day would come so quickly.

The Huo family's good news was spread frequently, and Huo Yunqi's ambition was complacent, and they all ridiculed him for not knowing real gold at that time.

In contrast, Boss Zhu, an outsider, helped the Huo family at the most critical time, and this friendship made this once down-and-out businessman now able to sit at the top of the banquet.

Looking at Boss Zhu's smiling face in the midst of everyone's congratulations, the shopkeeper Wu was not only envious, but even a little jealous.

Boss Zhu's discerning eye highlights his clumsiness, and the other party is full of glory, all of which are based on his stupidity and arrogance.

Annoyedly, he drank all the wine in the cup, and the shopkeeper was too drunk to excuse himself, so he left the table early.

With an ugly face, the black shopkeeper circled around the courtyard under the guidance of his subordinates, and returned to the same place.

He looked at the familiar scene, and suddenly heard the mocking laughter of the subordinate in front of him, and after a moment of stunned speech, he was furious, grabbed the placket of the subordinate's clothes, and shouted and asked, "Even you dare to look down on me!" ”

The smell of alcohol was on the head, and everyone at this moment felt that the other party was laughing at him, but when he met the eyes of the next person, he seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, and he was so shocked that he took two steps back.

It turned out that the subordinate he was holding was as cold as a corpse, his pale face was bloodless, the corners of his mouth were split to the sides, his stiff muscles were stretched to the extreme, and his gray eyes were filled with a godless glow.

"You, what's the matter with you?!"

The person in front of him was like a soulless ghost, so frightened that the black shopkeeper couldn't even speak, and the strange man's face was so shocked that he took a few steps back.

Until he crashed into another cold "wall" and looked back, another person with the same cold face and the same eerie smile on his face standing in his way.

The black shopkeeper was so startled that he went into cardiac arrest, his eyes were open, and an uncontrollable scream came from his throat, and in the next second, the cries of terror and the screams of pain spread throughout the courtyard of the Huo family.

This terrible shout interrupted the banquet, and Huo Yunqi and several other people with skilled martial arts immediately changed their faces, and they immediately followed the sound to the backyard, and the scene in front of them made them angry.

I saw the black shopkeeper fall to the ground on his back, the scarlet oozing from his throat had gathered into a pool of blood under him, he clutched his bleeding neck, and the struggle of his body became more and more weak, until the frightened eyes completely lost their lustre.

When Huo Yunqi and the others arrived, the black shopkeeper's injuries were no longer able to return to the sky, and everyone immediately searched for suspicious people around, Huo Yunqi closed his eyes for the black shopkeeper with a sad face.

Although the shopkeeper Wu has his own careful thoughts, in the end, he also lent a helping hand when the Huo family was in trouble, without this person, Huo Yunqi would not even have the opportunity to meet the current noble Boss Zhu.

Therefore, Huo Yunqi was shocked and angry from the bottom of his heart about the death of the black shopkeeper.

Huo Yunqi beckoned his subordinates to inform the Wu shopkeeper's family, and at the same time personally collected the corpse for the other party, and at this moment, there was an angry shout from outside the crowd.

"Don't run!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and saw an invited swordsman fly up to the top of the eaves, and across from him, a faceless man in black was about to turn away.

Seeing the situation clearly, someone immediately raised their arms and shouted: "Sneaky! Certainly not a good person! Let's do it together! ”

At this time, appearing here with such an image, everyone will naturally think in this direction, and in a few breaths, seven or eight heroes jumped onto the roof, and attacked the mysterious man in all directions.

Zheng ——!

With a sword groan, the night sky and the moon fell, and the black-clothed man's sword came out like a rainbow, like a blooming iris, wantonly, and the sword flew away, and the screams came and went.

This man in black, with just one sword, called to besiege the knights, and the knights fell from the roof one after another, and his martial arts were so strong that everyone below was dumbfounded.

The man in black swept away the obstacle with a sword, and immediately turned around and flew away, and his figure rose and fell.

"The thief is gone!"

Huo Yunqi's face sank like water, he thought to himself that he was probably not the opponent of this person, but he had to send an arrow on the string, he finally drew his sword and stood up, his steps were fierce, his body was like electricity, and he quickly approached the back of the man.

In a few breaths, Huo Yunqi caught up with the man, then held his breath and concentrated, and stabbed out with a sword, the sword light flashed like a thunderbolt, instantly piercing the dark night fog shadow.

The black-clothed man was more than half sideways, the long sword in his hand swept back, the sound of tearing the wind was sharp and piercing, and the two swords resonated, Huo Yunqi only felt a powerful true qi rushing along the sword body to hit his chest, as if he was hit head-on by the spine of the bell, his face turned pale immediately, and his body retreated backwards.

"Huo Gongzi!"

The knights who followed hurriedly caught Huo Yunqi who was retreating, the latter covered his mouth and coughed a few times, his eyes were a little surprised and unwilling, at this moment, the figure of the man in black had disappeared into the night.

Huo Yunqi's true qi slowed down, and then he sighed faintly, and blamed himself: "It's hateful that my martial arts are not as good as others, and I failed to avenge the Wu shopkeeper." ”

Everyone sighed in the same voice, and then someone said: "The black shopkeeper is kind to people, rarely has grudges with others, and has never heard of any deep hatred with anyone, but this thief attacked and killed the black shopkeeper at night, which is really strange." ”

The words of this chivalrous warrior were agreed by everyone, and someone immediately spoke up: "That's right, but if this person is from the Demon Dao, it is unreasonable to kill innocents indiscriminately, he doesn't show up and doesn't leave his name, it really doesn't look like the style of those demonic madmen." ”

In the midst of everyone's doubts, Huo Yunqi was worried, he agreed with the analysis of these two knights, since it was not an enemy or a demon, then the rest of the answer was terrible.

If this person is a righteous knight, then his masked killing action is very reasonable, Huo Yunqi's heart slowly sank, he was thinking, whether this was a conspiracy of the three major families in the Eastern Capital, or a hidden arrow from the rivers and lakes.
