Although he clearly knew in his heart that the enemy was close at hand, and the danger was often only in a moment's time, Xin Chaihu at this moment really had no choice. The baby in the basket can't be suffocated for so long, and he himself is already unforgiving—it's hard to say how long this will last!

Xin Chaihu tried his best to touch the darkness on the mountain road, striding forward with difficulty with one foot deep and one foot shallow, while thinking about this and that in a daze...... Gradually, he also began to feel sleepy involuntarily......

In this way, after walking the mountain road for half a night, it is estimated that it is about the third watch, Xin Chaihu finally sees the light of the lantern on the top of a tower not far away - it is actually the sentry tower on the edge of Shushi Town that chokes the mountain pass. At this time, although he felt very sleepy, his heart was also very clear: it was really strange, why didn't there be a "little ghost" jumping out to block the way along the way?

In fact, what Xin Chaihu didn't know was that in order to show him "the most cordial care", a large group of people from the Grimace Division had already driven to the town of Soshi in front of him, and they had been working very hard for most of the night......

Tonight in the tavern of "Never Sleep", there is no one who will have the extra mind to pay attention to the blind old man who is alone in the corner. However, tonight, this inconspicuous blind old man, he actually does not seem "superfluous" at all, and he is by no means alone at this time!

Every time, when someone walked out of the high-class box, the blind old man listened carefully, and then he would pluck the erhu strings and report the number of people to the person outside the wall. And the person who answered outside the wall would use a string to pull up the small lantern hanging from the tree and lower it according to the number of people he heard—as many people as he manipulated the lantern to rise and fall.

There was also a man on the sentry tower in the distance, keeping an eye out for the small lantern on the tree on the side of the tavern. Each time he received accurate information, he would whisper to his companions to set up an ambush and cast a net on the path they had to pass under the sentry tower. When the other party comes over to someone, they will start and grab one here; Two, and they'll grab a pair – almost none of them slip through the net!

These people are so thoughtful, and they are obviously targeting the group of people who are waiting in this town tonight, so who are they?

There is no doubt that the assassination attempt of the Leper Dragon and his gang failed this afternoon, and the news must have reached the Grimace Division very quickly. Of course, this made Grimace, who had always liked to do things absolutely uncomfortable, couldn't swallow this breath, so they hurriedly sent more people to "mend the knife" - this was obviously expected.

Tonight, the one who sat in the high-class box of the "Nightless Sky" and commanded his "Yakshas" to intercept and kill should be a "judge" in the Grimace Division. The head of this "judge" of the Grimace Division is always drooping to the side, and it seems that he has never been straightened, so the rivers and lakes gave him a nickname - crooked head carp.

This crooked carp, who likes to ask for merit and rewards on weekdays, heard that the leper dragon in front of him had missed, and immediately fought for this errand with his boss. He confidently believes that with his foundation of entrenchment in Mangcang Mountain for many years, he will start to clean up a lonely old man from a foreign - isn't that a matter of being caught?

However, as time went on, the crooked carp began to become less and less confident! What made this little leader feel very puzzled was that after pulling out one after another, after three or four consecutive subordinates were dispatched, the results were all like stones sinking into the sea!

For a while, thinking of the Haikou he had boasted about before, this judge suddenly felt like he was on pins and needles! He understood: When the meeting reached the fourth watch, the two big men in the division would arrive - when the time came, how could they explain to them? The two "big men" that the little judge feared were the two most famous evil stars in the Grimace Division: the Red Beard and the White Cockroach.

……

Two days ago, in a cave in the Misty Gorge.

"Damn! Hateful! These pups! A huge fist slammed into the stone wall with all its might, and the owner of the big fist let out a rough curse at the same time.

"Brother Hammer, you're going to be angry!" A young man next to him with a face like a big cake hurriedly spoke of relief.

A small man who was climbing on a mountain vine and swinging around, heard the words and said faintly: "Oh, I said big cakes, when this kind of thing happens, how can you let Brother Hammer not be angry and angry?" ”

"Hey, Senior Brother Flatbread, have you done one or two things to claim justice since our three brothers got married?" The little man said deliberately pointedly.

"Hmm...... It seems to be ...... too I haven't done it before. "Flatbread" is talking like "wontons" at this time.

"What did you say?" The big man who smashed the stone wall was a temper tantrum, and when he heard this, he was not happy, and said bluntly: "Just say it bluntly - there is no at all!" ”

"Yes, Brother Hammer really has a good memory." The little man on the mountain vine hurriedly took over the conversation, and said down the bamboo pole: "If you want me to say, the three of us should do one or two things that are righteous and cloudy!" Isn't that the right moment for you? ”

"Opportunity? What chances? "The "flatbread" is a bit confusing.

The big man who was smashing the stone wall hard, although he was rough, but his mind was also bright, he reacted immediately when he heard the words, and at the same time, the scene in the snow last winter immediately appeared in his mind......

Last winter, it was particularly cold.

On that day, just after sending a cart of firewood and grass to the big families in the city, he rushed back, and the big man who was frozen and tired never thought that he was starving and fainted in the snow outside the south gate of Jiaxing City! It was freezing at that time, and he almost froze to death in that place.

Fortunately, there was no endless road, and after a while, a carriage happened to pass there. The kind woman in the car saw the big man fainting in the snow, and immediately ordered the servant to stop and pour him a few sips of warm wine, and give him some food.

The big man who had recovered his strength had finally escaped this fate, he had always been a man of gratitude, and afterwards he asked around about the benefactor who had saved his life. Helplessly, the sea of people is vast, and it is indeed difficult for him to find out the news of those rich and noble families in the city.

However, just last night, he unexpectedly got a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue! It turned out that Ni Ying, the eldest lady of Ni Mansion in the south of Jiaxing City, was the life-saving benefactor he had been looking for - and Ni Mansion happened to be destroyed on the same day!
