Glancing at the Golden Lock Bridge in front of him, Huang Chunren, the leader of the Justice Group, shivered for no reason, subconsciously pressed on the handle of the waist knife hidden under the outer robe, and whispered to Zhu Wuqian on the side: "Xiao Zhu, the three people you said are reliable?" ”

Zhu Wuqian is a thin young man, and he is also very inconspicuous in the justice group full of children of the family. This time, he was rarely looked at differently by Huang Chunren, and he couldn't help but be a little flattered, and said in a low voice: "Brother Huang, don't worry, these three people just defected to my grandfather from Xiyuan, and their skills are so good, I saw them with my own eyes." ”

Huang Chunren did not speak. Zhu Wuqian's grandfather, Mr. Zhu, is a well-known businessman in Wuyun City, especially in the Xiyuan area. Xiyuan, a distant place, is already a mysterious place for a young brother like Huang Chunren who has been growing up in Wuyun City. The people who come from there are afraid that they will really have some ability.

Just thinking about it, Zhu Wuqian suddenly said, "Brother Huang, they are here." ”

There were three people coming. is a little different from Huang Chunren's imagination, these three people are actually quite young, about the same age as Huang Chunren. Unlike Huang Chunren, all three of them carried a jujube stick. Although the current Fog Cloud City does not have a night ban like the original, it also has a weapons control order, and no one is allowed to carry a weapon to travel at night. It's just that the righteous group pretends to be lawless, never takes this ban seriously, and has always hidden weapons. These three people didn't dare to be so bold, and they probably didn't have the money to buy weapons, so they carried jujube sticks that could be used as flat poles.

I knew to have three knives for them. Huang Chunren thought and stepped forward. Several members of the justice group also followed, and Zhu Wuqian rushed to the front and whispered, "Wei Huaizhen, are you here?" ”

Wei Huaizhen stopped. He threw the jujube stick to the ground, saluted Zhu Wuqian, and said, "Zhu Gongzi." ”

Seeing Wei Huaizhen and Wende and Chen Sicang behind him, Zhu Wuqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This righteous group gathered some rich and powerful children of the family in Wuyun City, and in Zhu Wuqian's view, it was his unsurpassed honor to be able to join this organization. In the past, he had always been looked down upon by the bigwigs in the group, and he was called by them, but this time he was very much looked at, and he couldn't help but be very proud. Seeing that Wei Huaizhen was also very polite to himself, he hurriedly said: "Wei Huaizhen, this is our big brother Huang." If you can kill that murderer, Brother Huang will never treat you badly......"

Without waiting for Zhu Wuqian to make any more wishes, Huang Chunren had already taken a step forward and arched his hand to Wei Huaizhen: "Mr. Wei, right?" Under Huang Chunren is polite. ”

Huang Chunren is the son of Huang Shilie, a squire of the military department. Huang Shilie has always had the nickname of "oil-immersed crystal ball" in the court, which means that Huang Shilie is exquisitely all-round and extremely slippery. Although Huang Chunren deserves the reputation of a "gentleman", he is influenced by his father and has a lot of city government. He heard Zhu Wuqian say that these three people from the West Yuan are extremely good, whether it is true or not, they must not lose their manners now, so that they can be willing to contribute.

Wei Huaizhen also arched his hand and said, "Huang Gongzi, I have heard what Zhu Gongzi said. Although the three of us are knowledgeable and skillful, Huang Gongzi has a life, how dare we not move forward. ”

Huang Chunren heard Zhu Wuqian say that the three of Wei Huaizhen were from Xiyuan, and they were just a few barbarians who could only fight bravely, but who knew that Wei Huaizhen looked elegant and spoke very properly, but it was a little surprising. He said, "That's very good." The murderer is insidious and vicious, and Mr. Wei doesn't have to show mercy. If you see him, you will be killed. ”

Wei Huaizhen heard what Huang Chunren said "don't talk about killing", and she felt a little strange in her heart, thinking what kind of friends did Zhu Gongzi make? Although this Huang Chunren is a child of a family, he is not a garrison, how can he kill people at will? But he was really under the low eaves of people, so he had to bow his head. This time, I came to Wuyun City to seek refuge with Mr. Zhu, thanks to Mr. Zhu's acceptance. Mr. Zhu's grandson has a request for himself, and this matter naturally cannot be ignored. Anyway, the stick is in your own hands, so you don't want to kill people. He also vaguely agreed, and asked, "Dare to ask Huang Gongzi, when will the murderer come?" ”

"I don't know, but it should come tonight."

Wei Huaizhen didn't say anything more. It is a matter of course to collect money from people and eliminate disasters for others. He didn't want to kill anyone, but if that murderer wanted to kill himself, he would naturally have to fight with all his might.

There are dozens of people in the justice group, all of whom are Huang Chunren and Zhu Wuqian, the children of families in their twenties. They are young and strong, have a very good family background, and are good at martial arts by nature, but they cannot endure the hardships of military schools, so they form groups of people, and walk around the streets and alleys every time it gets dark. If there are passers-by who are lonely, they will gather and insult them, and if there are young women, they will not let go. The garrison had a big headache with these evil youths and wanted to hunt them down many times, but Huang Chunren was quite talented, and he was very disciplined in the righteous group, and he was very familiar with the terrain of Foggy Cloud City, so although the garrison knew that there was such a righteous group of traitors, they couldn't catch them. At the same time, Ying Ying knew that the righteous group was full of children of the family, so he naturally turned a blind eye. In this way, the righteous group has been rampant in Foggy Cloud City for several years, so that there is a gossip in the city called "The first half of the night is the golden go, and the second half of the night is the righteous group". Zhijinwu is the old name of the garrison that maintains law and order in Wuyun City, and the righteousness group and Zhijingo are called together, which shows the arrogance of the righteousness group.

If there are no accidents, the righteous group will continue to be arrogant like this until the leader of the righteous group like Huang Chunren loses interest as he gets older. However, just last month, the Righteous Group suffered an unprecedented setback.

It was the seventh day of last month. At that time, the weather was still hot, and many residents of Wuyun City couldn't sleep because it was too hot at home, so they simply moved their bed tents outside. The righteous group was most active at this time. At that time, the deputy leader of the justice group took four people to the Jinsuo Bridge, waiting for Huang Chunren to bring another group of people over, and the two groups of people went to have fun together after they were in one place.

Although it is close to the bustling West Market in the west of the city, the Golden Lock Bridge has long been regarded as the place where the prisoners were killed, so it is nicknamed the Nai He Bridge. Due to its location on the main road, there is a constant flow of people during the day, but it is extremely deserted at night. The righteous group pretends to be lawless, and because there are few pedestrians in the area of Jinsuoqiao at night, the righteous group always uses this place as a gathering place. While waiting, he suddenly turned over from under the bridge and jumped onto a person.

"Murderer."

That's when that phrase came out.

When he found out that he had suddenly jumped on this person, the deputy leader of the justice group was also startled. When he found that there was only one person, he immediately became angry and immediately drew his knife and stepped forward. In the eyes of the children of these families, the common people are all worthless, and if they are killed, they will be killed. However, just as the deputy team leader was about to swing his knife and slash away, the man who jumped out from under the bridge suddenly pulled out a long knife from behind his back. The knife flashed, and the deputy team leader screamed miserably, and fell to the ground.

In the eyes of the righteous group, if there are many people on their side, how can they show weakness? They were used to running amok, and as soon as they saw that the deputy leader was injured, the remaining four people immediately drew their swords and surrounded him. It's just that the man's knife flashed, and the knife was fast, and the four-foot long knife was also extremely sharp, and the knives used by the people in the righteous group were all bought with a lot of money, and the quality of the knives was quite good, but the pair of knives with that person were all cut off, and the other four people were also cut to the ground. When Huang Chunren came over with a large group of people, he saw a pool of blood at the head of the golden lock bridge, and five people who were moaning and moaning were lying down. Huang Chunren was taken aback, and he couldn't care about having fun anymore, so he sent the five of them home. When a doctor was called to come for treatment, he found that the five people had not been cut off their tendons, but their hamstrings had been cut off. Although his life was fine, he had to walk lame for the rest of his life, and he couldn't use his right hand, let alone draw a knife.

This incident made the righteous group feel ashamed and humiliated, and vowed revenge. However, every few days, a member of the Righteous Group was cut off by the murderer. At this time, Huang Chunren had already realized that the murderer was breaking through in various ways, and it was aimed at the righteous group, so he ordered that from now on, we must advance and retreat together. It's just that there are fifty or sixty people in the righteous group, and about ten of them are crippled, and the remaining forty or fifty people can't stay in one place all day. And once he was alone, the murderer suddenly appeared. When nearly half of the members of the righteous group were seriously injured, Huang Chunren finally became scared. It's just that their righteous group is also registered in the garrison, and they can't ask the garrison for help, so Huang Chunren thought of asking for foreign help. As soon as he talked about this matter, Zhu Wuqian, who has always been extremely inconspicuous in the group, took it all in, saying that there were three doormen in his family whose skills were so good that they would definitely be able to take down the murderer if they helped. Huang Chunren was also a little ill at this time, and asked Zhu Wuqian to call the three people. Originally, Huang Chunren just wanted to ask the three of them to do him a favor, but when he really saw it, Wei Huaizhen's humility and arrogance surprised him greatly.

The Huang family has an ancestral book "The Art of Observing People", which says that the future of a person can be seen from three aspects: words, deeds, and appearances. Although it is not a hundred shots, it is also quite miraculous, and it is with this book that Huang Shilie has been successful in officialdom and has not fallen. Huang Chunren doesn't like to read much, but Huang Shilie forced him to read this book, and it is also recorded in the book that "there are many geniuses who are opposites". The so-called "inverse" is the male and female phases, the southerners and the northerners, or the scholars, the martial arts, and the old and the young. Wei Huaizhen is obviously a martial artist with unique skills, but he looks quite like a scholar, and his conversation is also very elegant. Huang Shilie, as a squire of the military department, has the duty of inspecting major military regions, and he once told Huang Chunren that if there are people with such appearance in the army, they will either not be able to become soldiers and go home in a few years, or they will be able to excel. Therefore, he asked Huang Chunren to see this kind of person, no matter how humble his identity is now, he must be polite. Among the three people called by Zhu Wuqian, Wende and Chen Sicang are standard martial artists, that is, Wei Huaizhen is the most different, and this person is also the leader of the three. This person will definitely be a blockbuster in the future.

Huang Chunren's politeness surprised Wei Huaizhen a little. When he came to Wuyun City, the three of them were sparse, and Mr. Zhu, who came to take refuge, was also very old, and all the business was handed over to his son Zhu Zhongren to take care of. Zhu Zhongren is a standard businessman, and he really doesn't want to take in these three people who don't know the details from afar, but the old father has a life, so he has to follow, and he naturally doesn't take much care of the three of them, Wei Huaizhen They are really fed up with the suffering of the cold these days, so although Huang Chunren is a new acquaintance, he is not arrogant to them, so Wei Huaizhen is also very grateful. Although Huang Chunren wanted them to kill the murderer, which was somewhat unfair and lawless, Wei Huaizhen and the others grew up in the West Plains, where the weak eat the strong, and killing and being killed were things that they had been used to since childhood, and they didn't value it very much. And Huang Chunren said that most of the murderers would appear tonight, so he naturally waited quietly.

As the moonlight grew, the sound of gongs and drums could be faintly heard in the distance. Today is the Autumn Lantern Festival, but the Golden Lock Bridge is built on a tributary of the Chengxiang River, and the lightboats do not pass here, and almost no one walks at night, and now it is even more deserted. These people waited a little anxiously, and one of them suddenly whispered: "Brother Huang......"

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Chunren suddenly said, "Ade, you go over there." ”

That Ade didn't expect that he would cause trouble if he said more, his mouth trembled, and he whispered: "Big brother......"

The murderer hasn't really killed a person yet, but every time he slashes someone, he cuts off his hands and tendons. The tendons of the hands and feet are cut off, even if there is a good doctor who can continue, he can't do anything in this life, which is equivalent to becoming half a wasted person. When his companion was beheaded, of course Ade also wanted to take revenge, but if he would become like this, then he Ade really didn't want to. It's just that Ade's father is just a member of the Ministry of Rites, not as good as Huang Shilie, and Ade's own status in the justice group is not as good as Huang Chunren, so he doesn't dare not listen to this. He said a word, knowing that it was useless to talk too much, and was about to go out, but Wei Huaizhen suddenly said, "I'll go over." ”

Wei Huaizhen's words seemed to be a savior falling from the sky, and Ade took a long breath and said, "Mr. Wei, you are willing to go over, it is best to ......"

Huang Chunren saw that Wei Huaizhen volunteered to go over, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Wei, it's just that you are holding a stick, and the murderer may not come out." ”

The murderer appeared several times, and Huang Chunren asked the person concerned and said that the murderer shot very quickly, but it seems that the real purpose is not to kill people, but to cut knives. Every time he appeared, the long knife in his hand was cut off, and the murderer cut off the opponent's tendons. Although the jujube stick in Wei Huaizhen's hand can be used as a weapon, it can also be used as a flat burden, and the murderer may not come out. Ade on the side was afraid that he would still have to go by himself, so he hurriedly untied his waist knife and said: "Mr. Wei, you use my knife, my knife has a good steel edge, it is a fast knife." ”

Wei Huaizhen took the knife. Although he is not very old, he has been in the army almost all his life, and he never leaves the knife every day. As soon as he grasped the knife that Ade handed over, he knew that Ade was not bragging, this was indeed a good knife. Ade is also a child of a family, and his family is well-off, so he must have bought this knife with a lot of money, and it is not pressing, but it is not light. He swept his knife and said, "Huang Gongzi, I'll go over." With that, he put the knife on his waist, handed the jujube stick to Ade, and whispered, "Then please help me hold it." ”

Huang Chunren did not stop again. In fact, he also hoped to let Wei Huaizhen and the three of them go out first, anyway, these three people were the helpers found by Zhu Wuqian, and it was none of his business if they died. Originally, it was not easy to say this, but I didn't expect Wei Huaizhen to volunteer, but of course she was in the middle of it.

Murderer, come out, the righteous team is going to take your head today! Huang Chunren thought, staring at Wei Huaizhen who was walking towards the Golden Lock Bridge step by step.

Wei Huaizhen is not tall, but her body is very strong, and every step is calm. Huang Shilie has been a martial artist since he was a child, and he has worshipped many masters over the years, although he is not a great warrior, he is actually not a weakling. It's just that looking at Wei Huaizhen's steps, it seems to be more calm than his teachers.

It seems that the three people Zhu Wuqian found are indeed not small! Huang Chunren already sighed secretly. Even if the other two are not as good as Wei Huaizhen, they are only about the same, and they must be able to deal with that murderer.

At this time, Wei Huaizhen had already walked to the head of the Golden Lock Bridge. This is an open space that has been used as a place for the murder of criminals. It's just that over the years since the establishment of the Great Qi Empire, the national law has been very lenient, and if you can, you won't kill it, unless you are a person who has committed the most heinous crimes, so this place of beheading prisoners often doesn't take one or two times for three or four months. It is said that in the dead of night, the sound of wailing and sighing can always be heard at the head of the Golden Lock Bridge, which is the ghost of those death row prisoners who have been killed in the past few years.

Is there really a ghost wailing? Huang Chunren actually couldn't hear it at all, and Wei Huaizhen didn't know that this was the place where the murder was located, let alone hear it. It's just that the closer he got to the bridge, the more gloomy he felt.

Wei Huaizhen is a master disciple of Beidou. Master's assassination skills, Wei Huaizhen has really obtained more than eighty percent, and his art of war is beyond the reach of Beidou.

The place where people can hide under the bridge is nothing more than the belly of the bridge, or behind the railings on the bridge deck. However, if there is a person hidden behind the bridge railing, he has to run over half of the bridge when he rushes out, and he can't have a sudden effect, and he can resist it in time, so if the murderer wants to hit like a thunderbolt, he can only hide in the belly of the bridge. In this way, as soon as he reached the bridge, the man jumped out of the belly of the bridge and slashed at the top of his head. Therefore, either this murderer does not appear, and once it does, it must have hidden in the belly of the bridge.

Wei Huaizhen walked unhurriedly, his hands hanging down his waist, but his right hand was ready to stop, and he could pull out the knife at any time.

Teacher Beidou said that the art of assassination, as long as you draw a sword to outperform your opponent, is half the success. Although Wei Huaizhen has never really assassinated anyone, he has been practicing this sword drawing technique since he was seven years old. From the beginning, I couldn't even touch the handle of the knife with my hand, and it became faster and faster, and when I was thirteen years old, I almost reached the point where I could move the knife immediately.

It was only three or four steps away from the bridge. One more step and he could see under the belly of the bridge. The muscles around Wei Huaizhen's body were tense, but her steps were still very calm. Teacher Beidou also said that the most important thing in assassination is not how quickly he draws his knife or how ruthless he strikes, but to let the other party let down his guard.

He took a step.
