Since ancient times, Zhongzhou has been the most powerful country in the whole world, and it is also the so-called strong country without weak enemies. The Qi State in the Western Regions has been at war with Zhongzhou all year round. And to the west of Zhongzhou is also located a military important place - Muning City. And that's where the story I want to tell begins......

The west of Muning City is Luofu, the ancestors of the Luo family because of the "Battle of Muning" that shocked the world in that year, the Qi army, and his descendants received the "gift" of the saint to build this magnificent mansion in the barren Muning City that year. In fact, the Luo family also understood that the saint was just looking for an excuse for the Luo family to defend the city for him, but they also reluctantly accepted this "big gift". From that time on, Mu Ning City became the object that the Luo family would protect for the rest of their lives, whether it was sincere or forced......

Two hundred years have passed......

Surrounded by mountains, the city of Muning in March is like a delicate peach blossom floating on the water. Since the "Battle of Muning", the people here have almost forgotten the bloodstained battlefield, and only the standing Luofu is still telling people this history.

In the middle of the night, the flowers and leaves revealed a few dim rays of light, and as far as the eye could see, there were still candles in the Luofu study, dotted with the windows, and decorated with moonlight. Under the lamp, the two teenagers were playing against each other, both frowning, observing the chess game, sometimes holding their cheeks in contemplation, and sometimes rubbing the chess in their hands with understanding.

"Hey, big brother, it's my father's turn to finally complete the translation of the ancestral "Book of Luo" in my father's generation?" The speaker was Luo Qingyun, the second son of Luofu, who was not as weak as the crown, his face was handsome, and his eyebrows were slightly raised, but he looked bohemian.

"Yes, after all, the predecessors of the Luo family have been concerned about this since the generation of the first emperor Fusu, and it is not easy to finally finish the four volumes, but for some reason, as soon as my father finished translating, he left three of them with the three of us, but he was not allowed to read them privately - by the way, he was silent when playing chess!" The person who answered was the eldest prince Luo Jiyu, compared with his second brother, his expression was solemn, and he did have the demeanor of an eldest brother.

"Okay, according to you!" Luo Qingyun said, and after finishing his words, he fell again, "Dad has been studying hard for ten years, and he has neglected to discipline us, but you, who are brainless, ask me and my third brother to practice and study all day long." ”

Luo Jiyu was silent, just pointed to the chessboard, Luo Qingyun looked at it, scratched his head and complained: "Ah, I lost again!"

"Beware of arrogance and rashness, and do not be greedy for victory. That's the end of today, you can go back to your room to rest, and tomorrow you might as well practice earlier. Luo Jiyu waved his sleeves to tidy up the chess game and motioned for him to leave.

"Okay...... Anyway, I've never won with you......" Luo Qingyun yawned, walked out of the door, and walked around the courtyard, but saw that there was no one around, and couldn't help but wonder.

"The servants in the house don't necessarily rest so early on weekdays, do they?"

Despite this, he still walked in the direction of his study, and after walking about seven steps, he noticed a strange smell of blood, and his feet were slippery, and when he looked down, it was a pool of blood, or blood that had not dried up!

At this time, a knife came from behind him, but fortunately, Luo Qingyun dodged in time, turned around and slapped back, knocking it back two steps, seeing that he was dressed in black and masked, dressed as an assassin, he stepped forward and slapped his arm, snatched the knife down, turned over and killed it with a horizontal slash. In addition to being frightened, he was shocked to find that the bloodstains on the knife were clearly the four big characters "Daqi Royal Court".

He held the knife and looked around, feeling more and more wrong, and there was a faint sound of pedestrians on the tiles and blood splattering on the ground on all sides. Like the aftermath of death, the echo of Hades.

"Tsk, are there any assassins?" he was about to shout an announcement, but stopped himself, "The servant at home hasn't even had time to speak, it seems that he has come prepared, his skills are superb, if he is to make an announcement, it will definitely lure the enemy to attack, and it is not good for me, it is really the best policy." Tsk, that's right, third brother!"

Luo Qingyun inserted the knife into the soil, stepped three steps into the window into his study, and pulled out a three-foot narrow knife from the table, on which the word "go" was faintly engraved. I saw him jump out of the window again and rush to the third brother Luo Tangfeng's study, barely making a sound during the period.

Pushing the door in, but seeing the person on the bed sleeping peacefully, Luo Qingyun walked forward, wanting to wake him up, but saw him jump up, and a white dress waved a few swords in the chaos, Luo Qingyun reluctantly took it, but found that it was not his third brother at all, but it seemed to be a woman wearing a white veil mask.

"Assassin!tsk!, what about Tang Feng?" Luo Qingyun swung his sword to attack, but saw that his body was strange, and he could even hover in the air. I saw Luo Qingyun jump up, and at the cost of exchanging his left arm for injury, he suddenly cut off his head with a knife, but there was no blood, and there was no flesh and bones, it was just a puppet, which was extremely treacherous!

"Puppeteer, Soul Wandering!" Luo Qingyun realized, "One of the four great assassins, heh, there is less evil and less!"

Although the head was cut off, its puppet was more flexible, Luo Qingyun was injured in his left arm, and it was late at night and his vision was not clear, so he was quickly defeated, and he was injured in several places.

At this moment, the puppet seemed to be scattered to the ground like a broken thread, and when he looked up, the roof tiles fell, and there was a silver-haired boy who fell down, he was about seventeen years old, his eyes were clear but with a hint of sluggishness, and his shoulder-length silver hair was scattered and draped, like a girl. He turned over for a week, landed smoothly in a half-kneeling position, a few drops of blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, and stared at Luo Qingyun.

"Second brother, he is the one who manipulates the puppet!" Luo Tangfeng held the long sword in his hand, jumped down from the room, and then saw that he was also injured in several places.

"This person's methods are ingenious, and he can still hurt me when he fights with you, not to be underestimated! If it weren't for my ambush earlier, you and I would have met with accidents!" Luo Tang said in the air.

After finishing speaking, he saw that the silver-haired young man didn't seem to have any intention of fighting again, so he pulled his hands back, took the puppet back and reloaded it beside him, and seemed to have no intention of fighting again, so he turned around and walked out of the window.

Seeing Luo Tangfeng set off to chase, he was stopped by Luo Qingyun with one hand.

"The enemy is strong and I am weak, even if he does not set up an ambush, you and I will not be able to get any benefit. Luo Qingyun said, "Dad and eldest brother may have fallen into a bitter battle, you go to help! I will immediately go to inform Lezheng Mansion and find reinforcements!" After speaking, Qingyun jumped out of the hospital.

Seeing this, Luo Tangfeng sighed, turned around and jumped on the roof to look around, and was about to leave, but he heard a terrible scream, followed by a clear tearing sound, a dull sound of blood dripping, and then heard a burst of crazy laughter, and turned his head to look, it was the study of the eldest brother Luo Jiyu. Luo Tangfeng felt bad, and walked away with his sword, obviously very calm, but he was flustered in his heart, and then, he felt a bad breath, which seemed to stain the entire Luo Mansion red.

"Uh-ha-ha!

I can hear this voice, but it is clearly the sound of Luo Jiyu. Luo Tangfeng quietly arrived on the roof tiles, but saw that the stumps were broken, and the flesh and blood were flying, splashing directly on the eaves.

"Not good!" Luo Tang jumped down, but saw a strange red mist floating next to his Luo Jiyu, as if he was wearing a vermilion gauze robe. Different from the usually gentle and elegant eldest brother, I saw that his eyes were blood-red, his mouth was panting with reddish breath, the muscles on his face were undulating and twitching, the green tendons were bursting up, and the five fingers of his right hand were directly pierced into the enemy's face, and his head was torn off with another claw.

"This kind of exercise is so evil! Big brother has an excellent mental method on weekdays, and he will definitely not be tempted by the enemy. Luo Tangfeng held his sword as a protective gesture, "Isn't it the eldest brother who mobilizes his own heart, but how come I have never heard of him having such anger!"

Suddenly, Luo Jiyu seemed to disappear, Luo Tangfeng was shocked and heard a miserable scream, but when he looked back, he saw Luo Jiyu tearing an assassin into a tragic situation. After looking at it again, he saw that Luo Jiyu had a not shallow knife wound on his back, which was the most dense place where the red mist gathered, Luo Tangfeng swallowed, only to see Luo Jiyu turn around and grab it with a claw, Luo Tangfeng hurriedly resisted with a sword, but the sword was broken by the effortless claw blow, and the claw went straight to Luo Tangfeng's chest, but in an instant, it turned into a palm, and flew Luo Tangfeng to the courtyard wall.

"Kill...... Kill...... Let's go!" Luo Jiyu's expression was very restrained, his pupils seemed to turn purple, and then turned back to red, and at this moment, two assassins jumped out and slashed at Luo Jiyu, only to see that as soon as he turned around, he dug out all the enemy's intestines, and pounced on one of them, tearing off his limbs with his claws, and looked back at Luo Tangfeng.

Luo Tangfeng clearly saw that his eldest brother's cheeks showed two blood-red signs that seemed to be heraldic signs, and he heard Luo Jiyu looking at the sky and roaring, and jumped up and smashed and grabbed the ground outside the mansion to kill, just like a flood bursting, and like a trapped dragon out of the lock, where he went, the murderous aura lingered, and it was breathtaking.

Luo Tangfeng reluctantly stood up, protecting his heart, the sudden change made it difficult for him to think calmly, this was the first time he faced death, the tragic situation of the enemy's corpse may have made him feel a little pity, but more, he was still happy and uneasy about himself.

"You must be calm......" Luo Tangfeng thought, "The enemy must have been planning for a long time, and he can attack so strangely, there should have been a traitor in the city, if so, the enemy must be powerful, although Muning City is located at the intersection of the three kingdoms, but the only one who dares to declare war on Zhongzhou is the Qi State." As for the purpose, I'm afraid it's our Luo family's Luo Shu translation......"

"Heh, Dad gave the three of us three volumes for the sake of this, but Dad didn't expect that they would act so soon......" Luo Tangfeng abandoned the sword in his hand, turned over and fell into Luo Jiyu's study, "It is rumored that the four major assassins are impermanence and the Soul Snatcher are both brothers, if they come together, then they will definitely attack Dad, but even so, there is no movement around, it is really strange......"

Luo Tangfeng looked around and pondered, looking for clues about the eldest brother's fight with the enemy, "These black-clothed people should be King Qi's miscellaneous soldiers, it seems that the killing skills are not superb, and the impermanence of the soul actually wants to kill me first to grab the book, and the enemy is also avoiding the important and light, if so, then the real assassination has not really started......"

The sky is a net of silence, and the people inside are as sleepy as birds and beasts.

Luo Tangfeng pulled out a sword from the sword stand, jumped on the roof, leaned over to observe the surroundings, obviously the blood and qi had not yet dissipated, but the surroundings were silent, as if the assassination had ended, and as if the assassination had not begun.

The stars are not yet full of the moon and the dark day, and it is the time of murder and arson.
