When Duan Tianhong left from the Xian Palace, it was not too late, but the streets of Luoyang City were empty, and it was difficult to find pedestrians.

Affected by last night's incident, today's Luoyang City is full of rumors and sensational, and the people are in danger and panicking. Therefore, as soon as it gets dark, every family closes their doors and windows, and no one dares to go out easily, so as not to suffer unjustified disasters.

The noisy and bustling Luoyang Night Market in the past can no longer be found today. On the dimly lit streets, the doors of the shops on both sides are closed, and the signs hanging in front of the doors are lifeless like broken flowers and willows, and everything in front of them gives people the illusion of a prosperous and withered and extremely bleak world.

It turns out that from the prosperity of all industries to the withering of people's livelihood, it is not a deterioration at all, but overnight. On the contrary, from turbulent times to turbulent times, it often takes years or even decades of painstaking management.

On the dark street, a carriage drove unhurriedly to the east of the city, and Duan Tianhong, who was sitting in the car, lifted the curtain from time to time, looked around, and sighed.

There were three people in the car, Duan Tianhong, the coachman, and the entourage, all from Duanjiabao.

"Castle Master, ...... you"

"I just feel that time has passed, and things are wrong. ”

"The castle lord and the Luo Mansion Lord have been close friends for many years, why didn't you tell the Luo Mansion Lord the truth just now?" the attendant said curiously, "Qin Ming threatened the lives of twenty-seven members of the Duan family, forcing the castle lord to do things for the Qin family. ”

"Alas!" Duan Tianhong sighed, "How much do you know about the affairs of the rivers and lakes?" Hugh looked at Qin Ming's rough appearance, but in fact, he had always been cautious and cautious in doing things. The Duan family and the Qin family have been at peace for many years, which shows that he is quite jealous of the relationship between me and the Mongols. Now, he has taken the risk of offending the Mongols to offend me, even at the cost of holding my wife and children hostage, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because he is bound to succeed in his journey. Duan Tianhong explained, "Qin Ku and the 'Xuanshui Volume' must be extremely important to Qin Ming. It's just that he overestimated the weight of me in Luo Tianjin's heart. He thought that Luo Tianjin would be as affectionate and righteous to me as he was to Pan Chuba back then, but he didn't know it...... Although Luo Tianjin and I are friends, we are far from being dependent on each other in life and death. ”

"The lord of the castle means ......"

"Luo Tianjin will definitely not compromise with Qin Ming because of me. Duan Tianhong said helplessly, "In other words, the lives of twenty-seven people up and down my Duan family are not important to Luo Tianjin. Therefore, if I tell him the truth, instead of calming the turmoil, I will offend Qin Ming. In case Qin Ming becomes angry and makes some crazy moves, I ...... Regret. ”

"After all, the Lord of the Keluo Mansion is the Lord of the Martial Arts Alliance, if he comes forward, does Qin Ming dare not let him go?"

"It's true that he is the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, but do you think Qin Ming will really take the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance in his eyes?" Duan Tianhong asked rhetorically, "If Qin Ming is jealous of the Martial Arts Alliance Master, how can we appear in Luoyang City?"

"What do you mean?" the entourage scratched his head blankly, and said incomprehensibly, "Today in the Xianwang Mansion, the Lord of the Luo Mansion obviously calls him a brother and brother, and even prepares a sumptuous banquet for him to receive the wind and wash the dust, if they are not friends, how can the Lord of the Luo Mansion treat him so kindly?"

"Who said that enemies can't be called brothers and sisters, and talk about wine?" Duan Tianhong shook his head and said, "You are still young, and you don't know the people in the rivers and lakes at all. In many cases, even mortal enemies who do not share the same heaven will behave as close as siblings. But once they make a move, they are all merciless, and they will put the other party to death. ”

"Why?"

"Don't ask. Duan Tianhong didn't seem to be in the mood to waste his tongue, and said impatiently, "When you experience more things in the future, you will understand what I said." ”

"This time, the castle lord helped Qin Ming find out the news with a clear conscience, once the Luo Mansion Lord knows, I don't know if he will be angry?"

Facing the muttering of his entourage, Duan Tianhong suddenly felt upset, depressed, his eyes became more and more bitter, and he muttered: "I just hope that Qin Ming will not be untrustworthy ......."

"Phew!"

Suddenly, the coachman exclaimed, tightened the reins, raised the horse's front hooves, neighed and stopped in place, and almost threw Duan Tianhong, who was caught off guard, out of the carriage.

"What's going on?"

"Fort ...... Fort Lord...... Someone is blocking the way. ”

The coachman's voice trembled, mixed with panic and fear.

Hearing this, Duan Tianhong's eyes changed, and he quickly lifted the curtain, but saw that ten meters away, several wheelbarrows were stacked horizontally, blocking the narrow street.

Seven or eight big men with steel knives in their hands stood aside, all with fierce looks and smiling fiercely.

"Who are you?" Duan Tianhong was apprehensive in his heart, but he still forced his composure on the surface, "You dare to block the road and rob in Luoyang City, do you know that this is the territory of King Beixian?"

"Nonsense!" the man at the head said disdainfully, "What about Luoyang City? What about King Beixian? Lao Tzu is robbing King Beixian's territory!"

With that, several big men lined up with their knives and walked quickly towards the carriage.

"Quick, turn around and go back!"

However, before Duan Tianhong could give a hasty order, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps behind the carriage. Immediately afterward, seven or eight more men strode towards the carriage with steel knives in their hands.

One after the other, they formed a flanking attack on Duan Tianhong's carriage on the narrow street.

"Quick, rush out!" the attendant panicked and screamed.

At this time, the coachman, who felt the threat of death, was completely confused, and desperately twitched his horsewhip, and the horse was in pain and roared and rushed forward.

The oncoming men were taken aback and hurriedly dodged to the sides of the street, avoiding the bad luck of being run over by the carriage.

Ten meters away, the horse leaped over the obstacle, but the carriage was so heavy that the driver could only watch as he crashed into the wheelbarrow.

"Ah......h

"Bang!"

With a scream full of horror, the carriage collided head-on with the wheelbarrow, and when it landed, it rose into the sky and fell apart, and the three people on the car were ruthlessly thrown out and smashed to the ground.

For a while, the muscles and bones were broken, and the wailing continued, and the three of them scattered in front and back of the street, all of whom were not lightly injured.

More than a dozen men who were eyeing each other did not give them a chance to breathe, and quickly approached like hungry wolves, first hacking the nearest coachman to death, and then running murderously towards his entourage and Duan Tianhong.

"Castle Master...... Let's go......"

Enduring the pain of broken bones, the retinue struggled to get up from the ground and limped towards a dozen men, while opening their arms to stop their way.

"Poof!"

Without a moment's hesitation, the attendant was stabbed in the lower abdomen. Suddenly, the blood flowed like an infusion, bubbling out along the sharp blade, ticking, and flowing all over the ground.

Under the bright moonlight, the blood-red blade reflected a faint cold light, bewitching and evil.

Seeing this, Duan Tianhong's heart couldn't help but tighten, and the irrepressible fear instantly hit his whole body, making his hands and feet numb, his whole body trembled, and he fled towards the end of the street.

"Where to run?"

In an instant, more than a dozen men were killed behind him, and one of them swung a knife without thinking, and slashed Duan Tianhong to the ground, leaving a wound about a foot long and deep on his back.

The flesh turned out, and the blood overflowed, instantly soaking through his robe, and at the same time causing his spirit to quickly languish.

"I have no grievances with you...... Why did you kill me?"

Seriously injured, Duan Tianhong still relied on his instinctive desire to survive, gritted his teeth and insisted on crawling forward.

One-inch, two-inch, three-inch...... One-foot, two-foot, three-foot......

The flesh and blood of the ten fingers were blurred, leaving a shocking blood mark along the way, although he knew that he could not escape the clutches of these people, Duan Tianhong still refused to give up, moving forward inch by inch.

"Why did you kill you? Because you don't know whether you live or die!" the man at the head sneered, "Everyone else is hiding at home and not daring to go out, but you eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, and you wander the streets in the middle of the night, who will you kill if you don't kill you?"

More than a dozen men followed behind Duan Tianhong with great interest, not in a hurry to kill him, but kicked and mended like a cat playing with a mouse, and did their best to mock him.

"You ...... Who are you?" Duan Tianhong shook his head to prevent himself from falling into a coma, and asked weakly, "What do you want? I have money, you can ...... as much as you want."

"Phew!" the man at the head spat out a mouthful of spit and said disdainfully, "Who is rare about your stinky money?"

"And what do you want?"

"I want your life!"

"Don't, don't!" Duan Tianhong hurriedly said, "Do you know that Luo Tianjin, the king of the Northern Sage, is the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, and I am his friend...... If you let me go, I promise not to let him pursue the matter......"

"Haha...... Everyone in the world is afraid of Luo Tianjin, but Lao Tzu is not afraid!"

"You ......"

"Big brother, this person is deliberately delaying time, don't talk nonsense with him, kill him with one sword!"

Hearing this, Duan Tianhong was shocked in his heart, and a touch of despair instantly rose from the bottom of his heart.

At the same time, the man at the head stepped on his back, making him unable to move, and then raised the blood-stained steel knife high, as if aiming at Duan Tianhong's neck, intending to behead him with a knife.

"Whoosh!"

At the last moment, there was a sudden sound in the air. In an instant, more than a dozen sharp arrows roared like black lightning, shooting most of the dozen men in the blink of an eye.

"Watch out for the Dark Arrow!"

The sudden sneak attack made the man led by Ling no longer care about Duan Tianhong under his feet, and hurriedly raised his knife to guard against it, while carefully retreating towards the wall.

"Brothers, catch them alive!"

With a shout, Lin Fang led dozens of Xiumen disciples to kill from the darkness.

"Sonorous!"

As soon as the two sides looked at each other, there was no nonsense, and they directly met each other in short arms and fought together.

Whether it is the number of men, the momentum or the martial arts, these men are very different from Lin Fangda's retired disciples. Therefore, in just one cup of tea, all the four surviving men were captured alive by Lin Fangda.

"Duan Fort Lord?"

Inadvertently glancing at Duan Tianhong, who was lying on the ground and dying, Lin Fangda's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to investigate, and said in astonishment: "Why you?"

"It's a long story...... because the knife wound hurt into the bone marrow, so Duan Tianhong couldn't help but grin his teeth and spoke intermittently, "Thank you for saving ......"

"Lord Duan Bao doesn't have to see outside, I'll take you back to the house first..."

"Bold dog thief, quickly release the Duan Castle Master, otherwise you will be killed!"

Before Lin Fang's general Duan Tianhong could help him up, a loud shout suddenly came from a distance.

Immediately after, Qin San led a group of Qin family disciples to rush to the front in a hurry.
