The capital city of Hokyo at night

In the ink-stained night, the leaves of the trees are blown by the wind, and the dense clouds cover the crescent moon. By the hour, most of the people in the city had fallen asleep, and the streets were dark. If it weren't for the sporadic fires still flickering in the distance, outsiders would have mistaken it for a dead city.

Whoosh –

"Give me something back!" several pursuers were visibly anxious, and angrily scolded the black-clad man who fled in front.

"Come on? Hmph, ridiculous. The man in black did not stop, his tone was full of dissatisfaction, "This thing is not yours in the first place, I just returned it to its original owner!"

The pursuer no longer argued with him, his toes were light, his internal strength was back, and his body rushed forward, his brows slightly locked, and his deep eyes unexpectedly revealed turquoise color, locking on the man in black who jumped forward in front of him.

The man in black didn't say anything more, kicked his right leg, like a cheetah chasing, and rushed straight forward, and opened up some distance from the pursuers behind him. Shaoqing's body landed, and then he trotted a few steps quickly, and then kicked again, and so on.

"You steal from us, do you have any reason?" Several pursuers were full of anger and anger, eager to chase the man in black in front of them and tear them apart, and suddenly felt shocked when they saw the gradually clear light in front of them.

Several people turned their heads and exchanged glances, bowed their heads slightly, and then luckily went up, the dark green of their eyes became brighter, and the group sped up, gradually narrowing the gap, and actually caught up with the man in black in front.

When the man in black heard the sound, he felt that something was wrong, and when he turned his head, he saw that several pursuers seemed to have arrived in front of him, and he knew that there was nothing he could do if he wanted to run, and he could only do it if he quickly eliminated these people.

So the man in black turned his hand and turned his body suddenly, rubbing his feet on the ground, rubbing the soles of his feet and sliding backwards, using the friction to stop himself. The internal force of the palm of his right hand surged, slashing forward, like the internal strength of a black bear's palm, and he rushed towards a pursuer, mercilessly hitting the man's chest and abdomen.

The man tried to dodge, but because of his extreme speed, he rushed straight up and received the blow. The powerful internal strength rushed out, and in an instant, the man's direction turned sharply, and his body fell backwards violently, and he landed on the stone ground a few feet away with a "bang", killing him on the spot.

The rest of the people were slightly stunned, but they were not timid, and took advantage of the gap between the black-clothed man to strike hard, took out the dagger, and did not care about the intrusion of the night, and went into battle together. Using light skills, he quickly scratched the scars on the man in black that went deep into the bone marrow.

The man in black frowned, and turned again, towards the sporadic lights ahead. Endure the pain and accumulate strength, like a volcano that has been silent for many years, it erupts in an instant, shaking the sky and the earth, and the internal strength spreads and rushes around like a flood.

Within a few zhang, the ground was cracked by the impact of this huge internal force, and the people who were stabbing were actually intercepted by the impact of this powerful internal force, and suddenly hovered in mid-air.

In an instant, the man in black mobilized his internal force again, suddenly gathered his qi in his palm, raised his hands violently on both sides, bent his fingers, and grabbed it hard like a tiger's palm, and a group of people seemed to fall into a turbulent whirlpool and were forcibly sucked away by the man in black.

Seeing that several people were being controlled and sucked in, the man in black flipped his hands, turned his palms into palms, and turned the hot energy in his palms into an offensive, and slapped at each pursuer who sucked in.

With just one palm, everyone was thrown away and died.

Everything is not even half an hour.

The man in black gasped deeply, and after a while, he stood up to restrain his breath and sank into the dantian.

He felt as if his head had been loaded with an iron ingot, causing him to sway from side to side and stagger towards the light in front of him.

Looking at the bright building not far ahead, the man in black was pale and exhausted.

I can't get there.

Dragging his weak body, he fell in free fall in front of an unknown shop, and then he didn't know whether it was because of his head hitting the door or because of his collapse, and the man in black fainted.

The dark streets are once again silent. The people in the house were still sleeping peacefully, and the lights in the distance flickered and flickered, as if nothing had happened.

Quiet and peaceful.

......

Hundreds of years ago, Ji Fa built the capital of Hojing under the assistance of Jiang Gongshang, and Ji Fa named the country "Zhou". The longest dynasty in Chinese history begins.

A few years ago, the succession of King You of Zhou pushed the Western Zhou Dynasty into decline.

Since the succession to the throne of Zhou Youwang Ji Gongyan, he has been corrupt, seeking pleasure every day, living unrestrained and very happy. But he left all the political affairs that should be handled and left them to Yu Shifu, who was appointed as the secretary at that time.

Yu Shi's father is also a scheming man, taking advantage of the trust of King Zhou You, privately expanding his power, and establishing two major organizations in the capital, the "City Shadow Army" and the "Informer", for his own use.

A few years ago, when Yu Shi's father was in charge of political affairs, he wantonly exploited the people, and the people in the capital were all unhappy, and the people were resentful. The princes also suffered from this, so many secretly formed alliances everywhere to destroy this corrupt and incompetent dynasty.

For a moment, the dark tide surging under the seemingly calm surface of the capital city, and danger lurked.

The twenty-third year of the Youwang year, Ho Jing.

The sunset hanging in the sky dyed the clouds golden, and the light that came out was like a great sword, stuck in the clouds.

The capital was sparsely populated, and the streets and alleys became deserted. A few small vendors who left late, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, pushed their own small wooden cabinet carts that were more than one person high, and slowly returned to the rows of houses. Almost everyone had exhaustion written on their faces, wishing that a soft bed would appear out of thin air and allow them to lie on it and snore to sleep.

Pawnshop is not doing very well today.

In fact, less than half a mile in front is the gathering place of the Capital Inn, which is supposed to be a prime location, but since the damn Father Yu sent the palace soldiers to patrol around this area, saying that it was to hunt down fugitives and strengthen vigilance, the number of people in this area has suddenly decreased significantly.

There are only a few people who come to the pawnshop every day, there is no income, and seeing that the money bag is about to bottom out, I can only eat some coarse tea and light rice every day, and I have already begun to plan to sell the shops in the capital, and I will go back to my hometown in the countryside to live with my wife. But a few days ago, the money bag finally became bulging.

All thanks to that person.

Eh, it's not closed.

The boss came back to his senses, yawned, wore a white cloth shirt, a coarse cloth bottom, a strip of cloth that was a little blackened because it had not been washed, a knot in front of the waist, and the excess part was wrapped in the strip of cloth, and his feet were wearing hay shoes, and he walked slowly to the door of the store.

The head poked out of the store and looked left and right. It's a daily must-do, and it's called "What if there are still guests?" He retracted his head again, as usual, and yawned deeply, his hands already on the door frame, and he was about to close it, but he heard a loud shout outside.

"Don't, don't, don't close the door, boss!"

A young woman's eager voice surged into the boss's ears through the door that was about to close. A hint of displeasure flashed across the boss's face, and he frowned, and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened as a result.

"Bang"!

It was the sound of limbs running across the door frame, and the boss closed his pupils, which had become dilated from exhaustion, and reached into the boss's shop with a hand.

This hand is really slender, narrow and slender, but slightly plump and white. The nails are blue, soft and pearled. Compared with the boss's old hands on the door frame, it looks even warmer.

The boss felt a tightness in his heart, his eyes widened, and he kept repeating in his heart that the owner of this hand was definitely a young lady. Who's going to be here? No, this person can't be messed with.

The boss hurriedly opened the door, let the hand take it back, and saw a young girl standing in the doorway, hunched and panting.

The girl is well-behaved, a pair of peacock eyes lined with willow eyebrows are looking at the boss, there is no blame in her eyes, and the cherry mouth on the melon seed face is still panting a little, but it does not affect the girl's beauty at all.

Wearing a gold-embroidered silk skirt, the lily can be faintly seen on the skirt, and the patterned golden hairpin is on her head.

This person is the young lady of the Yu family: Yu Miao!

The boss lowered his head deeply, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to look directly. He asked respectfully, "This young lady, what is the matter with coming to the shop?"

Ignoring him, she calmed her breath and strode into the store, complaining but not blaming. The big eyes looked at the boss, and asked in a brisk tone: "Boss, let me ask you......! The tall man came to you and gave you something, saying that someone would come and pick it up then?"

While saying that he finished the gesture with his hands and dances, he turned his head down and complained in a broken voice: "Really, isn't it stupid, can't you just call Miss Ben to come out and get it......?"

The boss listened to the "slanderous words" and complained about it, and he didn't dare to say anything. waited until she finished complaining, and then whispered: "Yes, miss, but the man said that it is better to keep this matter secret, only ......"

"I'm the one who came to get it!" Misty cut off the boss's speech, raising her eyebrows, her tone full of urgency to convince others.

After the boss bowed deeply to the boss, he walked to the door and closed the door, and the head of the boss moved curiously, and the pendant on his head shook playfully again.

The boss turned around and walked to the side of Yu Miao, bowed again, and then said: "Yes, I know that you are that person, I mean that there are many people in the capital now, and it is not good for outsiders to see it." ”

Yu scanned the pawnshop, pouted, and said loudly, "Then you can give me the things now, right?"

The boss bowed slightly: "Please wait a while, I'll go to the inner room and take it out." After saying that, the boss turned around and walked to the inner room, and Yu Miao stood at the door, bored playing with her hands again, wandering again, humming a little song with a happy face.

In the middle of the night, the boss hasn't come out yet. Impatient, he suddenly walked over and looked inward, and suddenly frowned slightly, wandering around the front hall. It seems that the boss is going to rush in to see what the boss is up to if he doesn't come soon. But he was still stopped by his own family rules.
