Two light horsemen lowered the courtyard with knives, one rushed to the courtyard door to open the door bolt, and the other person quickly approached the front hall with a slight bow, leaned against the root of the wall, gently pushed open a crack in the door, looked inside, turned back and nodded to Zhu Gongdao who entered the courtyard door.

"Little Hou Ye, there is no one in the house."

Su Chen turned over and dismounted, walked into the courtyard over the retribution, stepped on the swaying mottles on the ground, and kicked the door door close to the hall, and the dust on the lintel fell down.

The hall was poorly furnished, and traces of life could be seen, and in the door of the bedroom leading to one side, several light riders rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and even checked the small yard behind which the livestock were fed.

"Little Hou Ye, I have searched all around, but I haven't found the slightest trace." After the search of several rooms in the small courtyard, the five light horsemen returned to the hall and reported to Su Chen, who was sitting in the first place.

Just as Su Chen frowned and thought, Zhu Gongdao, who was standing at the door of the bedroom, was still looking inside, he fanned his nose slightly, and then, when he walked in again, he heard the sound of banging, and he turned the wooden bed over.

A corpse was strapped under the bed.

Su Chen stood there, his face sank.

It was the official who was sent here by the eldest brother before, I only knew that his surname was Zhao, and he was originally a minor official under the Taishou, and he was sent here, except for the eldest brother, there were only his own people.

He didn't believe that the people in Ding'an City would have the courage to get involved in this kind of thing, and with the character of the eldest brother, he would not kill a person who was already worthless.

The only possibility is that the assassin who escaped earlier came back and killed the person, no wonder it took so long to appear, and he must have been recuperating from his injuries during this time.

Zhu Gongdao put the corpse down, groped his fingertips around his neck, chest, and abdomen for a moment, and lowered his voice.

"Little Hou Ye, this person still has residual warmth, and he has been dead for less than half an hour, and the cause of death is that the meridians of the whole body have been broken. The subordinate guessed correctly, it should be the assassin who escaped before. ”

"Go back."

Su Chen flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned around and strode out of the yard, that guy is back again, he will definitely try his best to retaliate, worried about the safety of his family, Su Chen did not hesitate at all, he turned over the horse out of this small courtyard, and when he turned the horse's head, suddenly a timid voice sounded.

"Uncle, are you here to find Uncle Zhao?"

Opposite the small courtyard, there is also a family, under two lanterns, an eight-year-old boy with a pair of hair tied up looked at Su Chen and his party.

"I just came out when I heard the movement, I almost missed you, give, this is something left by Uncle Zhao."

The boy ran over and handed a folded note to a light horseman, Su Chen took it from the other party's hand and unfolded it, there were no words on it, only several mountains were connected, and a circle was drawn somewhere.

It can be seen as a rudimentary map.

"Why is this thing here?" Su Chen probably guessed that it should be the dead official, and wanted to tell him what was here.

The boy raised his little face and blinked: "Uncle Zhao said that he had an enemy and would come to the door at any time, so he drew this thing and gave it to me, saying that if one day he saw many people on horseback and wearing armor coming to him, he would give them the things on the paper." ”

Su Chen put away the stack of papers, put them in his arms, smiled at the child, and took out a dozen coppers for his subordinates to hand over.

"Well done, this is a reward for you, it's getting dark, go back to the house, remember that this is a secret, say it, others can't say that they want to rob you of the copper coins in your hand."

"Well, I wouldn't say." The child counted a dozen coppers, thanked him with joy on his face, and turned and ran home.

Su Chen's smile retracted, clamped the horse's belly, shook the reins, and drank softly: "Go!" ”

The streets exploded under the churning of iron hooves, and a group of twenty light horsemen, with swords and bows, galloped with their horses.

At this time, it was already dusk, and it was more than 70 miles from Ji County to Ding'an City, and the sky was already dark and unclear halfway through the road at full speed.

There were no stars or moons in the night sky today, and the distant foothills were like giant serpents hiding in the shadows, taking on strange shapes, and clusters of hanging branches retreated backwards from the side of the galloping horse.

In the midst of the horse's hooves, passing through a short wood, Su Chen suddenly slowed down the speed of the war horse, and pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, he frowned, looking at the black in front of him, and in the dim darkness, it seemed like a figure standing in front.

"Stop!" Su Chenle stopped his mount and raised a hand.

Behind him, a light rider raised a torch and lit the arrow in the hand of his companion next to him, and when the fire burned, the rocket flew into the night sky with a whizz, and the moving fire light illuminated the darkness ahead.

A figure stood at the end of the road, covered in a black robe, with a black scarf on his face, his robe swaying slightly as the wind blew through it.

The rocket landed at the man's feet and plunged into the soil, and the other party stood there for a moment, slowly walking towards Su Chen.

"The little boy in Suhou's mansion...... I've been waiting for you here for a while. ”

The footsteps did not stop, the figure that walked, and the words that sounded in the night were gloomy and hoarse, "I came back this time specifically to kill you...... I want you to be like my Yin brothers, with a different body and a hanging corpse in the city tower! ”

"You killed that official in Ji County, right?" Su Chen looked at him expressionlessly, and then without any words, he drew his sword out, the sleeves of his robe were sprinkled, and he shouted: "Let's go together!" ”

The wind blew suddenly, and the moment the fire flickered, the figure of the man disappeared from view in an instant, and the twenty light horsemen had just rushed out a few steps before they stopped, holding their swords and guarding the surroundings.

Zhu Gongdao untied the spear behind his back, slowly closed his eyes, listened to the sound of the wind flowing from his ears, and then opened his eyes sharply and shouted: "Little Hou Ye, left!" ”

The sword light waved, Su Chen raised his hand is a sword, slashed in the air, there was a loud sound, sparks jumped, and a black figure flashed in his eyes, the man stepped on the ground, the black robe was lifted, and the fist full of scales and iron, Su Chen kicked the stirrup, jumped up, and the iron fist swung firmly hit the horse's body.

The war horse screamed and neighed, the huge body seemed to reflect the horse-like blood gushing into the air, the war horse fell heavily to the ground and rolled out, Su Chen had not yet landed, the long sword in his hand was from top to bottom, and the black shadow fought a few times with both hands.

Twenty cavalry rushed together, Zhu Gongdao jumped off the horse, galloped wildly, and threw the spear in his hand hard, the man slapped the long sword in Su Chen's hand, his body sank down, and the whistling spear was nailed to the big tree beside the road.

"Little Marquis, get on the horse!" A light horse rushed over, stretched out his hand to grab Su Chen, and took him on horseback.

Su Chen had a strong temperament, did not grab the hand of the cavalry, turned the long sword, and slammed into the road under his feet, the ground cracked, suddenly bulged, and exploded with a bang, and the man in black rushed out, Su Chen was swept into the air by this impact, and the long sword he held tightly still slashed at the other party, Zhu Gong pulled out the head of the spear, and the spear swept the afterimage of the spear body, and the surrounding light horses drew their knives and drew their bows, and several of the nearest cavalry stabbed the black-clothed assassin in mid-air together.

The black shadow man waved his hands, the claw wind, the fist wind seemed to be like the wind and thunder, a few loud noises, shaking the air, the surrounding trees shook wildly, the leaves fell down one after another, the long sword in Su Chen's hand collapsed, and he fell to the ground together, and the gun head with Gangfeng smashed on the black shadow man's calf, the black shadow man fell to the ground, and smashed the gun head with a backhand fist on the second stab, Zhu Gongdao was shocked and retreated a few steps back, and his mouth was full of blood, flowing out of the corner of his mouth.

Twenty cavalrymen pressed up together, swords, guns and arrows came out together, and in the light of the swaying torches, the man in black rushed into the cavalry, his scaly and iron hands waved wildly, the man fell, the horse fell, and the flying leaves seemed to show claw marks and fist marks, and the stirring air waves spread to the nearby trees.

The thick tree was torn open, dragging the luxuriant cage to the slope and falling.

The man in black stood still, looked at Su Chen, who was kneeling with a sword on his hand, and turned around and walked slowly towards him.

"You are a gentleman, you will never understand the hard work of practicing advanced martial arts...... My Yin brother's family is poor, and he has cultivated to his current state, do you know how much hardship he has suffered? You killed him...... And cut off the head......"

"Hehe, that's really bitter, if you want to kill my whole family, I still have to sympathize with you?"

Su Chen squatted on the ground with his sword, his arms trembling slightly.

This guy has obviously gotten stronger than when the Zhang Jiao brothers fought each other. His left hand was slightly open, and a token with the word 'Lu' in his sleeve slipped into his palm, and the merit bar in his mind was visibly reduced with the naked eye.

"What's in your hand?" The man in black walked past a lost war horse and glanced at the golden token in Su Chen's hand, "It's useless...... The children of the official eunuchs are all waste, even if you give you peerless martial arts, it will be in vain. ”

The joking words were still coming, Su Chen gritted his teeth, raised his trembling arm, held the long sword, and stood up shaky. On the opposite side, the figure who came over stood still, and the words of Yin Zhi sounded as Su Chen got up.

"However, among the children of the eunuchs, it is still rare to have a person like you, if it is not for the order of the sect master, I must kill you marquis, otherwise, I want to make friends with you."

"Wen Hou!"

At the same time as the other party spoke, Su Chen's voice also resounded, the wind blew through the forest, and in the rustling sound, there was no other movement, and the assassin who stopped his voice looked at Su Chen and the token in his hand in a daze, and then laughed.

"You're a man? What about people? ”

He shook off his black robe with a smile and raised his hands covered with iron scales, "After the official eunuch, you are pampered, and in my eyes you are just a bunch of wine bags and rice bags." ”

His voice fell, Zhu Gongdao shook his spear, and stabbed at the black-clothed assassin again, the black-clothed man turned around violently, lifted his robe, and the scaly hand opened the spear and grabbed him by the neck.

"A six-grade Jianghu guest dares to put ...... in front of me"

"Presumptuous!"

In the midst of the assassin's words, another old and majestic voice resounded through the forest, covering up his words, and the assassin turned his head sharply, only to see Su Chen pull out his long sword, and a few flying leaves swirled, falling on his shoulder, and then inexplicably being bounced out.

"Shicai, you are saying that the children of the eunuchs are all wine bags and rice bags...... Is that right? ”

The shadow covered Su Chen's face, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, and the words he spoke seemed to come from behind him, majestic and compelling.

"I sweep the four seas, serve all the states, and thousands of troops and horses are driven by my hands......"

The black-clothed assassin who was pinching Zhu Gongdao was stunned for a moment, and even Zhu Gongdao, who was almost fainting, and the cavalry of the Ding'an Army, who was injured and fell to the ground, looked over weakly.

In the dim part of the woods, Su Chen took a step, and the fallen leaves on the ground were blown and spread out at the moment of landing, and the words that came out gradually brought laughter.

"Hehe......"

The laughter rose and turned into a heroic laugh: "Hahaha-"

A black and white striped regular clothes, the figure with the Han sword on his waist showed his outline, and while he pulled out the long sword, Su Chen also raised his arm and crossed the sword in mid-air.

Su Chen raised his face, his gaze was majestic, and his voice overlapped with another voice.

"All the sons and daughters obey the order!"

Two different blades made the same movement, pointing at the assassin in front of them, and the sound resounded through the forest.

"Kill me (for Lone)!"

- Wei Wu whipped!

In an instant, the sound of countless war horses neighing resounded in the forest. The black-clothed assassin's face changed wildly, his eyes showed horror, and in front of his vision, a series of mounted figures appeared in the forest, the horses were wearing armor, and the knights above were wearing heavy armor.

The next moment.

Like a tidal wave, it went around the big trees, spread through the trees, and pushed towards him with the movement that shook the earth.
