As soon as everyone arrived at the hall of the Hou Mansion, they saw that the banquet had been arranged. Helan Shan and Buyu had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw them coming back, they hurriedly invited Feiyun and the others to sit at the table. At the banquet, Helan Mountain treated each other warmly and raised his glass frequently. Drink until midnight, and then disperse.

Feiyun entered the room and was about to rest when he seemed to hear movement on the roof. Feiyun hurriedly got up, came outside the house, and flew onto the roof. Looking around, I saw a figure shaking under the moonlight. Feiyun was secretly frightened, he didn't expect that Shi Hao would be able to anticipate things like a god, and sure enough, someone had bad intentions.

Feiyun was about to scold, but saw several figures rushing to the backyard. They were all dressed in black, veiled and masked, and holding swords. As soon as they landed in the courtyard, they heard a coquettish voice: "What madman, dare to break into the prince's mansion at night!" Feiyun took a closer look, but it was Tianxiang. I saw that she was holding a meteor sword, blocking the way of the man in black.

Before the man in black could reply, Meijing rushed out of the room and stood beside Tianxiang. Meijing said: "Sister, these people are hiding their heads and tails, which is obviously not a good thing. Why bother asking many times and sending them directly to the underworld! Before Meimei's words fell, Liangchen and Xing'er also came out with swords and came behind Tianxiang.

There were about ten of those black-clothed people, and one of them, a tall man, heard Jingjing's words, and said angrily: ", what a big breath, I want to see who goes to the underworld first!" As he spoke, the man flew up and slashed at the scenery with a steel knife in his hand. Meijing snorted coldly and pulled out the Qingshuang sword to greet him.

Swords collide, clang, and sparks shoot out. Meijing and the other party's bodies shook twice at the same time, and Meijing was a little surprised to see that the other party's sword was unscathed. After thinking about it for a while, Meijing knew that the other party's internal strength was not only comparable to herself, but his steel knife was also a treasure knife. Meijing knew that she had encountered a strong enemy, so she didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly focused on the battle. The two of them came to the sword, and they were inseparable for a while.

At the same time, the rest of the men in black let out a shout and rushed forward together. Tianxiang and Liangchen and Xing'er raised their swords to fight and fought with the man in black. Feiyun saw that there were many people in black, and he was worried that Tianxiang and them would be defeated, so he wanted to go down to help, but saw Xu Zhitang, Duan Qing, and Ma Xiang coming together in the front yard.

Xu Zhitang shouted: "What kind of demon dare to assassinate the Hou Ye!" Are you looking for the dead? Those black-clothed masked men didn't reply, but divided a few people to besiege Tianxiang and Meijing and the others.

The two sides suddenly scuffled together, fighting viciously for a long time, but they couldn't distinguish the superior. Feiyun saw that Tianxiang and they did not fall behind, so he had an idea, and let them fight a vicious battle. Observe for yourself, and when they retreat, follow them yourself, try to find the den of these bandits, and then catch them all! Feiyun made up his mind and grabbed the tiles with both hands. If someone is in distress, you are always there to help.

The two sides fought for a long time, and the man in black gradually lost his opponent. After all, they are facing a lot of masters. Relying on the advantage of the sword, Tianxiang cut a man in black in two pieces with a single knife, followed by another knife, and the man in black was killed instantly. The rest of the black-clothed people were blocked by Xu Zhitang, Ma Xiang, Duan Qing and others, and quickly killed several people.

The man in black who fought with the beautiful scenery saw that his companions were killed one after another, and knew that he had underestimated the enemy. Before the sneak attack, he sent people to investigate the situation of the Hou Mansion many times, but no one told him that there were so many powerful people. The man in black then let out a roar and beckoned the masters to retreat. Those black-clothed men hurriedly jumped over the wall, and there were only two of the original ten people left.

Feiyun saw that the two black-clothed men had escaped from the Hou Mansion and ran forward. Feiyun hurriedly lifted the light gong and followed him. Soon the two men came to the river, and then turned around. Feiyun also arrived at the same time and shouted, "Who are you?" Why do you want to assassinate the marquis! The man in black had already sensed that someone was following him, so they took Feiyun to the foot of a remote mountain, hoping to capture Feiyun alive.

The man in black looked at Feiyun and couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he asked, "What is your relationship with Helan Mountain?" Why track us? Feiyun smiled slightly and said, "You dare to assassinate the dignified Hou Ye, your courage is extraordinary, which is really admirable." Who are you? ”

The two men in black stopped answering, and rushed towards Feiyun with a single knife in hand. Feiyun saw that they were menacing, and one of them was not weak in martial arts, and he could tie with Meijing. Feiyun didn't dare to be careless, so he had to draw his sword to face the battle. When the sword touched, there were a few points of starlight. Feiyun drew his sword and looked at it, but the opponent's single sword was unscathed.

The man in black cast a color at the other man, and the two of them leaped forward at the same time, striking at Feiyun with both swords. Feiyun's right hand gentleman's sword greeted him, and the sword scabbard in his left hand was against the two. Feiyun relied on the exquisite swordsmanship of landing Wenlong to barely tie with one enemy and two.

The three of them fought more than ten moves, but it was still difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat. A man in black shouted while fighting: "Rat generation, quickly abandon the sword and admit defeat, we may be able to spare your life!" Feiyun was furious, so he used his mixed internal strength to use the "Thunder Wanjun" in the invincible five moves, and suddenly the sword light soared. I only heard the sound of "bell", and the single knife of the man in black was cut in two by Feiyun.

The man was stunned, and the scabbard in Feiyun's left hand had arrived. The man couldn't dodge and was hit by the flying clouds, and the man immediately let out a grunt and fell to the ground, seeing that he couldn't live. The other man in black was shocked when he saw this.

Just now, the two of them joined forces, and they barely tied with Feiyun. Now on his own, there is absolutely no chance of winning. The black-clothed man turned and fled while Feiyun was distracted to check on the man's injuries. Feiyun was about to catch up, but he didn't expect the man to shoot several hidden weapons with his backhand. Feiyun hurriedly swung his sword and pulled it away, and the man had already fled.

Feiyun saw that he was far away, so he stopped chasing him and returned to the Hou Mansion. At this time, the Hou Mansion had settled down, and everyone was discussing in the hall. Helan Mountain saw Feiyun coming back and said, "Brother Feiyun, thank you for your hard work." Feiyun said: "The prince doesn't have to be polite. It's a pity that the man escaped, otherwise he could have found out where they came from! Xu Shaoxia, you are familiar with this area, I don't know what you found? ”

In the rivers and lakes in the Hou Mansion, Duan Qing has been active in Nanzhao and Xiangxi. Ma Xiang rarely left Huashan, and it was the first time he set foot in Jiangnan, and none of them had ever been to Jinling, so they naturally had no understanding of the local characters. But Xu Zhitang is different, he was already sent by Yandang and is very familiar with Jiangnan, so Feiyun inquired directly. Xu Zhitang shook his head and said, "Judging from the dress and martial arts of these people, they don't look like they come out of a sect, but like people from a gang. In Jinling City, there are many gangs, and it is difficult to see their details. ”

Helan Shan said: "I don't think these people's martial arts are high, and it is estimated that they were bought by others and came to test them." The key is to find out the mastermind behind it, and there are brothers in this matter. Silently said: "What Master Hou said is very true. Brother Lin, if you still stay in the Hou Mansion, don't live outside. What do you think? ”

Feiyun thought for a moment and said, "Silent girl, in fact, you don't have to worry too much. I think that with the current strength of the Hou Mansion, it can completely deal with these people who come to sneak attack. As soon as there is any movement in the Hou Mansion, we will come over at any time. I stayed outside the house so that I could find out the news. ”

Feiyun secretly thought that there were Wuyan, Wuyu and Xing'er in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, unless they met the top masters, otherwise with their martial arts, they could deal with it. Besides, Lian'er and Xing'er also hold swords that are as sharp as clay, and it is not easy to defeat them. There are Duan Qing, Ma Xiang, Xu Zhitang and others in the front yard, so naturally there is no need to worry.

Feiyun's coming to help this time was not voluntary. One of them happened to meet, and the other couldn't erase Helan Xue's feelings. Although Feiyun said that he would not participate in the affairs of the Hou Mansion at the beginning, he had a friendship with Helan Xue after all, and he had a special relationship with Wu Zetian, and he was Wu Zetian's gold medal secret envoy, so he had to help secretly. But Feiyun was still dissatisfied with Helan Mountain, so he didn't want to live in the Hou Mansion.

Seeing that Feiyun refused to agree to himself, he was naturally unhappy in his heart. Seeing this, he hurriedly said, "Sister, what Brother Feiyun said is reasonable. With you in the backyard, I and Sister Xing'er, even if we meet the top masters, we can resist for a while. At that time, the brothers in the front yard and Feiyun could all rush over. If Brother Feiyun finds out useful news outside, he can prevent problems before they happen and solve the problem outside the mansion in advance, without waiting for them to enter the Hou Mansion. ”

Xing'er also said: "What my sister said is that such a thief doesn't need Brother Lin to make a move." If they dare to come, I will tell them that they will never come back! ”

Duan Qing said: "Master Hou, I also think that what Brother Xia said is reasonable. We should not only think about staying in the palace, but also investigate in many ways, try to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and destroy their lair, which is the fundamental solution. ”

After hearing this, Helan Mountain said: "What a few people said is very true. Don't say anything, you don't have to worry too much about the safety of the Hou Mansion and me. I think it's just as Feiyun and Duan Qing want to do! ”

Seeing Helan Mountain's words, he had no choice but to agree. Helan Shan said to Xu Zhitang, Ma Xiang and Duan Qing again: "The affairs in the backyard are presided over by silent hosting, and the affairs in the front yard are jointly led by you." When Xu Zhitang heard this, he was overjoyed.

Helan Mountain's arrangement is obviously a recognition and importance to Xu Zhitang. Xu Zhitang thought that if he made great contributions on this trip to Jiangnan, he would definitely be able to gain Wu Zetian's trust. When the time comes, he will be in power, and he will definitely be able to help Li Xian better.

Ma Xiang listened to Helan Mountain's arrangement, but he was not convinced. If Helan Mountain let Feiyun take the lead, Ma Xiang would have nothing to say. After all, in terms of martial arts, he is indeed inferior to Feiyun. In addition, Feiyun and Wu Zetian have a special relationship, so it is reasonable for Feiyun and Helan Mountain to be close.

Among the people in the Hou Mansion, Ma Xiang knew that he could not be compared with Feiyun. What's more, Feiyun is the benefactor of Ma Xiang's sister's fragrance, and he is naturally a head shorter than Feiyun.

For Xu Zhitang, Ma Xiang was completely unconvinced. After all, the two did not fight directly, and Ma Xiang was confident that his martial arts would not lose to Xu Zhitang. In addition, in terms of background, both of them are decent people. Since Ma Xiang was unconvinced, he was naturally very indifferent to Xu Zhitang.
