Chapter Twenty-Three: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High

The three of them looked back at the voice, and sure enough, there was the black-clothed young man standing behind them. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Seeing this, Wang Rong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young Master, when did you come, the slave maid has not been far away, and I hope to forgive my sins!"

In fact, in normal times, Wang Rong didn't need to be so smuggling with the black-clothed young man, but after a battle in the lobby just now, Wang Rong knew that the eldest young master was very suspicious of him, and always thought that he was a ghost lurking in the mansion, so he was extremely humble and cautious in his attitude.

The black-clothed young man snorted and said, "Manager Wang, what is your intention in telling these two outsiders about the affairs of my house?"

Wang Rong was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect the young man in black to ask like this, so she was stunned for a while and didn't answer. At this time, I suddenly heard Zhao Niantong say: "Where did I say that you came from so much nonsense? Oh, I know, you must still be doubting Sister Wang? Even the old Chen seniors think that Sister Wang is innocent, are you questioning his old man's judgment? Hehe, aren't you afraid that I will tell the old man to let him train you again?!"

"You ......" The black-clothed young man was so angry that he pointed at Zhao Niantong with his hand, and said loudly: "You wait for me, sooner or later you will be comfortable!" After speaking, he turned around, and under the cover of the night, his body was vertical, his arms were extended, like a huge bat, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Pan Suxuan thought in his heart: "This black-clothed young man is worthy of being a disciple of the 'Red Shadow Demon' Yin Yanlai, and he has won his true inheritance, and his light skills are indeed the best in the martial arts......"

Put down this side Pan Wang Zhao and the three of them continued to talk without talking, just saying that this black-clothed young man was reprimanded by his father in the afternoon, and he was angry with Zhao Niantong at night. I saw him walking through the streets and alleys, flying eaves and walls, and I didn't know how far he ran out of this breath, until the evil qi in his chest gradually calmed down, and he stopped.

Looking up, I saw that the surrounding grass was overgrown and the rocks were craggy, and I used the moonlight to distinguish the position, and found that I should have arrived at Qiujiagang, which was thirty miles away from the north of Jinling City.

According to the memories of the old people in the house, Qiujiagang was still a prosperous place decades ago, especially the champion red wine brewed here, which is an indispensable wine at major wine banquets in Jinling City. Because there are many people with the surname Qiu in the local area, and there is a big hill behind the town, it is named Qiujiagang.

But for some reason, this once prosperous town was cursed overnight, and the whole town disappeared, leaving only dozens of empty houses and empty streets. The government has also sent people to investigate this matter many times, but there is no clue after more than a year of investigation, and what is even more bizarre is that during this period, the arrest who was responsible for investigating the case disappeared one after another, and no one was alive or dead.

At that time, this matter was rumored, and some people said that it was haunted on the mountain near Qiujiagang, and the missing people were all caught by ghosts and never came back. Some people also say that there is a man-eating monster in the vicinity, this monster eats people without spitting out bones, and all those who disappeared were eaten by it...... For a while, there were all kinds of rumors and opinions, but one thing is certain, that is, no one dared to care about this case since then, and it has been hanging like this.

More than 20 years have passed, and today's Qiujiagang has become a ruin, with ruins and broken walls...... At this moment, the young man in black stood here alone, and a few crows sounded in his ears, and a cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but shiver......

Just as he was about to turn around and walk back, he heard a slight sound in the grass in the distance, and the young man in black was stunned, and said in his heart: "It's so late, how can there be people in this place?"

Thinking of this, the black-clothed young man hurriedly flew and hid behind the broken wall of a collapsed house, held his breath, and pricked up his ears to listen......

I only heard the sound of grass rustling in the northwest direction, and when I got closer, I could hear the footsteps of people, and judging from the sound, there should be at least eight or nine people walking towards this side. The black-clothed young man breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to turn around and go home, but suddenly thought: "What are these people going to do when they come here mysteriously? Looking at their sneaky appearance, it is estimated that it will not be a good thing! Xinyi's day of recruiting relatives in the martial arts competition is imminent, could these people be trying to plot against each other during the martial arts competition? Let me listen to it first!"

Thinking of this, the young man in black lightly changed his position and hid behind another wall, and as soon as he hid, he saw more than a dozen people walking into the collapsed house one after another.

By the moonlight, I looked into the house, and saw ten men, women, women, and children, all of whom were dressed in different costumes, and each of them carried weapons, some were knives, some were swords, and some were holding eyebrow whistles in their hands...... It's just that the light is too dim to see the appearance clearly.

At this time, a man standing on the east side of the wooden table said, "Have you all arrived?"

A young woman at the end of the crowd said, "Third brother, except for the ninth brother, everyone else has arrived. ”

I only heard the man say, "Where did Lao Jiu go?

A hoarse voice said: "Third brother, do you still need to ask? Where else can Lao Jiu go except to go to brothels and green buildings? I heard that a famous prostitute called "Qiaojiangbei" has recently come to Jinling City, and now he is fighting with Lao Jiu...... Third brother, why are you beating me?"

The man who spoke before said: "Beat you up to shut up and clean up those useless things!" Eighth sister, have you informed Lao Jiu to gather here tonight?"

Another woman's voice said: "I used Feiyan to expedite the paperwork, and I deliberately sent it three times in a row, Lao Jiu is blind, and he must have seen it." ”

The man said: "This is strange, although Lao Jiu is dissolute by nature and usually hangs his son, he has never delayed his business. Especially today, the boss summoned us with the Feiyan Rush Book, there must be something big, why would Lao Jiu be late at this time?"

At this time, I only heard a weak voice say: "Third child, don't worry, let's ...... again Cough...... Cough...... Wait a little longer!Anyway, now the boss...... The boss didn't come either!"

The black-clothed young man turned sideways slightly, looked at the person who spoke, and saw a skinny man standing with his back to him, coughing incessantly as he spoke, as if he was seriously ill......

The third elder nodded and said, "Second brother, I haven't seen you for many days, how is your body?

The skinny man said: "That medicine still has a certain effect, I can't die for a while, but I can't leave the blood yet, otherwise my body will still be very cold!"

The third brother said: "Second brother, don't worry, this time the boss called us, maybe he found a cure for your disease, otherwise he wouldn't be able to send a Yanshu, so he gathered all of our "Jiangnan Twelve Heroes", don't you say?"

When the black-clothed young man heard this, he was slightly startled, and said in his heart: "It turns out that they are the 'Twelve Evils of Jiangnan' who have been rampant in Jiangnan in recent years? The style of action is also both good and evil, both killing the rich and helping the poor, and there are chickens and dogs stealing, but also because these people are haunted, there is no fixed residence, it is difficult to find traces, so the people in the rivers and lakes call them 'the twelve evils in the south of the Yangtze River'. And these twelve people are gathering here today, what is the matter?!
