Late at night, above the Longjiang River.

Zheng Hengzhou lay on the long and narrow boat, enjoying the beautiful scenery. The cool breeze stroked his handsome face and his hair, and the picture was very pleasant. Pei Yanzhi, who was directly opposite, sat cross-legged, carrying a wine jar in his hand, and drank it down. After a while, the wine was drunk, and after a short pause, the two looked at each other.

Pei Yanzhi asked, "How long do you plan to stay this time?" ”

Zheng Hengzhou pondered for a long time and said, "I took the dark dart and set off tomorrow morning." ”

Pei Yanzhi glanced at him, laughed, and said, "Dark dart, it's like this again." To say that it sounds good is to let you secretly bet on the dart, and to say it is ugly, it is not to treat you as your own person. ”

Zheng Hengzhou scratched his nose and said leisurely: "Anyway, it's not the first time." ”

Seeing him like this, Pei Yanzhi was drunk and angry, and shouted: "I really don't understand what the Zheng family is thinking, you are your own son, and they treat you like this." ”

Zheng Hengzhou smiled bitterly: "They also have bitter intentions. ”

Pei Yanzhi disagreed, and said coldly; "What kind of hardship is clearly ignorance. When Mrs. Zheng gave birth to you, it was true that she was in pain due to dystocia, but you can't be blamed for that, right? When it comes to fortune telling, just because people say that you are destined to be a lone star, they will kick you out of the house? It's ridiculous. ”

Zheng Hengzhou said: "It's not to drive it out, it's to send it to Xuankong Temple." ”

Pei Yanzhi disagreed, and said, "What's the difference? It's to throw you out. ”

Zheng Hengzhou said: "At least, I'm back." ”

Pei Yanzhi took a sip of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth, and sneered: "Come back?" Three days and two ends sent you out, one will be more than ten days, how long will you stay in Longjiang City in a year? ”

Zheng Hengzhou shook his head and sighed; "I'm looking for you to drink tonight, don't talk about these mundane things."

Pei Yanzhi said: "Okay, you have the final say, let's not get drunk and not return." ”

Zheng Hengzhou replied: "Don't you have anything important?" ”

Pei Yanzhi put down the wine and said helplessly: "Longjiang Shuangsha has been evil for many years, how many people have been killed, if you can catch it early in the morning." As for the demon Jiang Qianyi, it was even more tricky. It is said that he has superb disguise skills, you want us, where can we arrest people? ”

Zheng Hengzhou teased: "Baili Si is so depressed, the people of Longjiang City are sad. ”

Pei Yanzhi shrugged and said; "Come on, they also accept their fate," between the conversations, the night was deeper, and the two drank freely, until the wine was empty, Pei Yanzhi got up stupidly, and left the boat with light skills.

Zheng Hengzhou lay down on the boat, pulled the grass rivet, covered his body, and fell asleep. By the time I woke up, it was already three poles of the sun. He picked up the river, washed up a little, jumped to a few feet, and returned to the green bank.

After a short time, he walked out of the city, transported his true qi, and then performed light skills, swept dozens of miles, and suddenly came to the teahouse under the mountainside. He handed over the silver ingot to the shopkeeper, sat down, and sipped herbal tea. It is said to be a dart, but in fact it is running errands for others. This time the dark dart, the Zheng family gave him half a month. Chengguan is so far, it is only a walk, at most one day, why take half a month. Zheng Hengzhou understood that this was intentional, and ordered him to linger outside and not return to Longjiang City.

Zheng Hengzhou shook the broken silver, said not too much, said a lot less, barely passable. He threw down the tea money and walked leisurely towards the mountain. It is rumored that on the Black Wind Mountain, there is a Black Wind Village, in which is a group of demons, burning, killing, plundering, and doing everything. To Sujiang City, cut over the mountain, is a shortcut. Helplessly, due to safety, the dart master will deliberately avoid each other and take a detour.

Zheng Hengzhou walked slowly, picked a towering ancient tree, jumped up lightly, lay on the treetops on the chair, and drank freely. After a while, there was a clicking sound below, Zheng Hengzhou squinted, and a group of dart masters pushed the wheelbarrow, erected a long pole red flag, drove in, and escorted the dart up the mountain.

Zheng Hengzhou looked up and down, this group of dart masters were wearing red brocade robes, and there was a pattern of vermilion birds spreading their wings tattooed on their chests. Zheng Hengzhou secretly thought, this trail leads to the top of the mountain, could it be that these people don't make a detour and want to break into Heifeng Village?

Because it had nothing to do with this matter, Zheng Hengzhou didn't think much about it and drank freely. Until the sky grew dark and it was cold outside, he jumped down, light as a cat, and landed silently. Just as he was returning to the teahouse, he suddenly heard the footsteps of the hurried soldiers, coming towards him from far and near.

Zheng Hengzhou looked back, and a woman panicked and fled in embarrassment. Behind her were two men, armed with large ring knives and fierce eyes. Zheng Hengzhou looked at the two people, wearing fur sweaters, their faces were hideous, and their two blood-stained fangs were exposed, which was the appearance of a demon.

Zheng Hengzhou tiptoed, swept over, and stood beside the woman. The woman raised her eyes and exclaimed, "Who are you?" Before Zheng Hengzhou could speak, two demons followed. They raised the big ring knife and slashed at Zheng Hengzhou without saying a word. Zheng Hengzhou squatted slightly, took out the Yanling knife, and swept out, the two of them widened their eyes and fell down one after another.

Zheng Hengzhou put the knife into the sheath, walked over, and asked, "Why are they chasing you?" ”

The woman said angrily: "The demon kills people, why do you need a reason." ”

Zheng Hengzhou's eyes burned, he looked at it for a while, noticed the red brocade robe, and asked, "You should be the dart master of the Vermilion Bird Dart Bureau, right?" ”

The woman hesitated for a moment and asked, "You don't know who I am?" ”

Zheng Hengzhou scratched his nose and asked, "What you say, do I have to know you?" ”

The woman hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that. ”

Zheng Hengzhou smiled slightly and said, "I didn't mean to ridicule you, it's just that I have been away for many years and don't know anything about the world." I don't know the girl's name? ”

The woman's eyes flowed, and she said, "My name is Nangong Lan." ”

Zheng Hengzhou was stunned when he heard this, and exclaimed: "It turns out that you are from the Nangong family. It was only at this time that Zheng Hengzhou understood what she meant. The person in charge of the Vermilion Bird Dart Bureau is the Nangong family. Nangong's family is in Longjiang City, and it is one of the best dart games, and it is as famous as the Zheng family's Xuanwu dart game.

Nangong Lan pondered for a long time and asked slowly: "Thank you for saving your life, but I have a reluctant request, can you lend me the knife?" ”

Zheng Hengzhou asked, "What do you want a knife for?" ”

Nangong Lan clenched her fists and said angrily: "The dart has been robbed, I want to get it back." ”

Zheng Hengzhou frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly: "You want to snatch the dart back, I can understand, but why don't you go back to Longjiang City first and find a helper?" ”

Nangong Lan pursed her lips, as if she was unwilling: "Go back now, this dart will fail." ”

Zheng Hengzhou asked, "Isn't life worth dignified?" ”

Nangong Lan stared at him and sighed, "I understand. In normal times, I will also go back to Longjiang City first. But this dart is different, this is a dart, and it is very important. I must send the dart to Sujiang City as soon as possible, otherwise my reputation will be ruined. ”

Zheng Hengzhou pondered, the so-called darts usually arrive between two or three days. On the way to the dart, the variables are so big that no one dares to speculate. If the dart game takes the emergency dart, it must be important, otherwise you don't dare to do it rashly, so as not to get into trouble.

Zheng Hengzhou asked: "You are alone, how can you pick off Heifeng Village?" ”

Nangong Lan replied: "I don't want to go head-to-head. This time, the dart is a mutton fat jade pendant, and I just need to find a way to get that piece of jade back. ”

Zheng Hengzhou thought of the wheelbarrow, and suddenly appeared, it turned out that it was a trick. He also knows very well that some dart masters will use their hands and feet, so they are suspicious, making people unable to figure out what the dart is.

Zheng Hengzhou said: "This knife has been with me for many years, so I can't borrow it." ”

Nangong Lan frowned and asked, "How much do you have?" ”

Zheng Hengzhou didn't say a word, shook his head and declined. After a while, he spoke, "Now, do you still want to go to Black Wind Village with your bare hands?" ”

Nangong Lan said slightly angrily: "Since you don't borrow me, I can only break in." ”

Zheng Hengzhou looked at her and said with a smile: "I can see that your true qi has been depleted and you have suffered internal injuries. In addition, there is no blade in his hands, and he is just a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. ”

Nangong Lan said coldly: "This is not in the way, I have my own methods." ”

Zheng Hengzhou shook his head and said, "That's good, I won't lend you a knife, but I'll lend you." What do you think if you give me the silver, and I will take the jade for you? ”

Nangong Lan was suspicious and asked, "It's Black Wind Village, aren't you afraid?" ”

Zheng Hengzhou said: "I won't tell you, I can't get enough entanglement." ”

Nangong Lan pondered for a long time and said, "Okay, I'll give you the silver after the matter is completed, what's your name?" ”

Zheng Hengzhou thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "Zheng Hengzhou." ”

As soon as these words came out, Nangong Lan was very shocked. She raised her clear eyes and looked at Zheng Hengzhou. After a while, she seemed to understand something, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "It turns out that you are Zheng Hengzhou." ”

Zheng Hengzhou smiled bitterly: "It's right down there." ”

Nangong Lan had a difficult face, and lowered her head and said, "I have heard about you. ”

Zheng Hengzhou shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "If it's not a good rumor, then it's the truth." Let's not mention this for now, aren't you in a hurry to snatch back the jade pendant? ”

Nangong Lan came to her senses and asked, "What good way do you have it?" ”

Zheng Hengzhou said briefly: "Follow me." When he had finished speaking, he turned around and walked up the hill. Due to Nangong Lan's ankle sprain, she walked staggeringly, and it took a lot of time to arrive at Heifeng Village.

The night was dark, and the torch was lit outside the village. Nangong Lan looked at the cottage, surrounded by a wooden fence, and there were demons patrolling nearby. This black wind village is carved along the cave, with a wooden gate, Nangong Lan looks around, there are at least ten cave entrances, dazzling.

The two of them crouched on the grass, overlooking the movement below. Nangong Lan worried: "There are so many entrances, where will the jade pendant be?" ”

Zheng Hengzhou said: "The penultimate cave on the right is the treasure house. ”

Nangong Lan asked, "How do you know?" ”

Zheng Hengzhou smiled slightly and said, "The third one on the left, that's the wine cellar, I often go to steal wine and drink." ”

Nangong Lan was surprised and exclaimed: "This is Black Wind Village, are you going to steal wine?" She glanced at Zheng Hengzhou, her dark eyes were so determined, it really didn't look like a lie.

Zheng Hengzhou instructed: "You stay here, I'll go and go back." ”

Nangong Lan stopped him and retorted: "No, you haven't seen Yu Pei, I'm going too." ”

Zheng Hengzhou glanced at her with slanted eyes, and said with a straight face: "Your foot has been sprained, and going will only get in the way." If you insist, then don't blame me for being rude. Without waiting for Nangong Lan to speak, Zheng Hengzhou picked her up.
