In front of the old house, the sun was about to set, and the sky suddenly became a little dark.

On the ridge of the roof sat a man dressed in a cloak of almost the same color as the gloomy sky, which was so wide that it covered the whole body.

He seemed to have been sitting for a long time, looking at the color of the sky, and was silent for a long time.

At this time, a gust of wind blew.

The cloak on his body fluttered like a flag in the setting sun.

But he didn't seem to be affected at all, just raised a pair of somewhat sunken eyes, looking at the sky, his face was kind and sad, like the last sunset left in the sky, and like a Bodhisattva statue sitting in the world.

It's just that this compassionate face looks a little stiff.

Although he didn't move, he could still feel the wind around him change slightly, so he raised a hand and waved it gently, as if to greet someone.

Sure enough, it was not only the homing bird that came with the wind, but also a person who was quietly landing on the eaves not far from him.

It was not far away, a man was sitting alone on the ridge of the roof, but a man was standing firmly on the eaves, like a light bird.

The man was very clean, wearing a purple robe, not even a belt, but loosely open, and long hair draped over his shoulders like a scattered waterfall.

He looked so elegant.

Ember bowed slightly to the man sitting on the ridge, his expression full of respect.

"Father-in-law......"

On this day, the biggest change in the largest killer organization in Lin'an City in the past ten years has occurred, and this matter has never been heard by the people, but it is full of shock.

Because one person and one sword actually broke the hundred-year-old pavilion full of killers, so that the small building that looked abandoned was really deserted.

The imperial court did not know about the existence of the Hundred Years Old Pavilion recently, but it has always acquiesced in its existence, because although the Hundred Years Old Pavilion has existed in Lin'an for many years, it has never had any intersection with the imperial court, and it has not affected the imperial court is the biggest reason why the two coexist with each other.

Then, such a huge and mysterious killer organization was suddenly slaughtered in one twilight, which could not but shock the imperial court.

If there really is such a person in the world, how can even tens of thousands of troops stop it?

But for some reason, the emperor didn't seem so surprised, he just sighed a little, those characters who came out of the world could not be used for him after all.

"Father-in-law, the night embers are terrified, and they will not be able to keep the Tiange ...... that they have been operating for many years."

The voice of the person on the roof was hoarse like a blunt instrument splitting wood, and there were some vicissitudes of life, but the age could not be heard.

"Over the years, you have worked hard to support the Hundred Years Pavilion alone, and the combat power of each hall in the Pavilion is also known to the father, I don't know what kind of person that person is, who can break the Hundred Years Pavilion with one person and one sword?"

Night Ember was stunned, his eyes changed, as if he remembered something, which made his always calm face change, and then said, "Father-in-law...... I didn't see ......"

"Oh, you don't even see it?" said the man on the ridge of the roof strangely.

Ember nodded.

"This is the first time in the ten years since I took over Tiange that I underestimated the enemy, but I didn't expect it to be a disaster of annihilation!"

The man on the roof pondered for a moment, as if imagining what kind of person it would be, what the invisible slaughter would be.

Is it as brutal as it is on the battlefield? Maybe it's different, even if it's not

The most brutal battlefield must also have mutual casualties, and this battle was doomed from the beginning, it was a completely unequal battle, so even the Hundred Years Pavilion that had been in business for decades could only end up in ruin.

"It's good that you make a decision in time......"

Ember gritted her teeth, and a deep mark appeared on her eyebrows.

"It's a pity that the lives of the two juniors were buried......"

"Dark Soup, You Jie, they died to cover everyone, and they died as they deservedly, you don't have to blame yourself......"

Ember gasped deeply, looked at the stone statue in front of him, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he only said, "Thank you father-in-law for not being responsible......"

The man on the roof may have sensed his change and said, "Do you remember the incident again?"

Ember didn't deny it, and the original elegance in his eyes disappeared in an instant, turning into an abyss-like hatred.

"I will never forget how the Song people stormed my house, killed my family, and insulted my sisters, but unfortunately I was too young to pick up a spear and stab them in the heart......

The man seemed to nod, his voice still hoarse, and even a little terrifying when it was completely dark.

"It's good to remember hate, but don't let it blind you...... When the Song people united with the Jin State to destroy Liao, there will always be someone who destroys today's Song, and even Dajin may have one day, after being in that place for a long time, he will not see anything......"

"I don't know about your other junior brothers, but you are different, we are actually not chess pieces, everything we do now is to fight each other on the chessboard, and when we finish the last step one day, there will be no reason to stay, this is fate......"

After saying this, both fell silent.

At this time, the night wind blew again, and the last rays of the setting sun had already set the horizon.

Heaven and earth became one again at this moment, and it was indescribable that darkness could bring everything in the world together in such a perfect way.

"Father-in-law, this mission is very heavy, why did you choose Kenshin?" asked Nightash.

"Kenshin quenches the sword with his heart, he is a good seedling, but he is paranoid by nature, he is easy to break, and he always needs more experience, this assassination ......" He stopped abruptly at this point, as if thinking about something.

"But what if he fails?" asked Ember.

"It doesn't matter if this assassination was successful or not...... As long as he can come back himself......" said the old Bodhisattva.

Ye Ember didn't ask anymore, because he knew that the old Bodhisattva's mind would not allow anyone to really be tempted, and this assassination mission was arranged by the old Bodhisattva himself, and he didn't understand before, why did he do it to an "insignificant" mother and daughter at this time? Now it seems that "the drunkard doesn't mean to drink", but he can't see through what the "between the mountains and rivers" is that he cares about.

......

In the originally quiet dense forest of Wan'an Temple, dozens of feather arrows suddenly galloped out, and the targets of these feather arrows were Mrs. Wang and Qin Xi, who were just about to turn around and leave the main hall.

For a time, there was an unprecedented chaos on the Buddha hall.

The feather arrows struck like locusts with the wind, and the guards guarding outside the main hall also quickly realized that they drew their swords to defend against the enemy, but the arrows came without eyes, and in the blink of an eye, several people had been pierced through the chest, and blood was still gushing when they fell to the ground.

Several feathered arrows were nailed to the wooden door of the main hall and sent out

There was a "clanging" sound.

The abbot reacted very quickly, and quickly ordered all the monks around him to surround Qin Xi and Mrs. Wang in the middle, even if the monks of the whole temple died, they could not let the two of them suffer any harm, otherwise it would be a catastrophe for this century-old temple.

In the blink of an eye, the originally quiet incense and worship of the Buddha suddenly became a mess.

The remaining guards with knives immediately put on guard, they first retreated into the main hall, and closed all the windows and doors, leaving a few people to protect the prime minister's daughters, and the rest of the people guarded the door and did not dare to kill easily, because the crisis outside was not clear now, and their most important self-blame was to protect the female dependents safe and sound.

The temperature in the air seemed to be gradually dropping, and the atmosphere was condensed into frost.

Suddenly there was silence again in the dark forest, but it did not last long, and soon they heard the sound of horses' hooves, as if whistling from somewhere.

They are naturally familiar with this kind of voice, but they don't know whether it is friend or foe, so anyone can only tighten their spirits and refuse to relax for a moment.

However, after a while, no one rushed at me, no more arrows were fired from the depths of the forest, and the sound of horses' hooves, like waves, suddenly seemed to disappear.

In the main hall, Mrs. Wang was frightened like never before, and several maids helped her to the futon, and barely fed some water, so that she was a little more stable.

Qin Xi naturally wouldn't be as panicked as everyone else, although her martial arts were not very good, she had also seen some "scenes", if it weren't for her mother being frightened, she couldn't help but want to rush out at this moment to see who dared to openly do something in Wan'an Temple.

The quiet waiting was the most difficult, Qin Xi gritted his teeth anxiously.

Just then, the door to the main hall opened from the outside.

Qin Xi suddenly looked at it, but found that there were people kneeling outside, in addition to the Xiangfu guards who came with the car, there were other soldiers in armor.

In the middle of these people stood a young man, this time he did not wear his usual fine clothes, but changed into a light and simple military uniform, with a bow on his back and a sword in his hand.

"Wang Jinyu, why are you here?" Qin Xi asked in surprise.

Standing outside the main hall was Wang Jinyu, the son of Lin'an, who still had that smile on his face that was difficult to decide, and his expression was relaxed, obviously the hidden danger outside had been "solved".

"Xiangye sent someone to my house early this morning, saying that you and your wife came to Wan'an Temple to make incense, and asked me to bring some people to meet you, I am afraid that something will happen on the way, who knows that it was really expected by Xiangye, as soon as I approached the temple, I found that there seemed to be something wrong in the surrounding dense forest......"

He pointed to the deep woods on the opposite side and said, "The killer is hiding in the woods on the other side, because the woods are extremely deep, you can't see the situation inside, but you can see here from the inside!"

Qin Xi walked out of the main hall and asked, "Did the killer catch it?"

Wang Jinyu shook his head in disappointment, pondered for a moment, his eyes were full of doubts, and said: "When I led people to rush in, all the black-clothed killers had already committed suicide, leaving not a single survivor!"

Knowing that the killers were all dead, Qin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, as for the strange parts, she naturally didn't have to worry about it, and there would be the court and her father to deal with it.

She suddenly remembered something, and didn't have time to pay attention to Wang Jinyu who was standing opposite, so she hurriedly rushed out from among the guards who were kneeling all over the ground.
