The moon is dark and the wind is high, and thunder and lightning are coming.

A whirlwind that rose from the ground swept up the dust and raged on the long and empty streets, blowing the flags of the shops on both sides with a "fluttering" sound, flying scattered tiles hovering in the sky, and then "crackling" and smashing to the ground.

The time is approaching, every house in Luzhou City is closed, every household turns off the lights, and the sky and the earth are dark.

Under the cover of the howling wind, dozens of masked black-clothed people rushed out of Ganfu, quietly walked through the streets and alleys, and went straight to the Luzhou Inn in the north of the city.

Walking to the intersection, a middle-aged man with a small appearance and a thin figure rushed out of the dark alley with lightning speed, blocking everyone from the road.

"Who ......?"

"Don't panic, everyone, I'm from the Gan family. ”

Before the two masked black-clothed men rushing in front of him drew their knives, the middle-aged man was already busy reporting to his home.

"Gan Fu!"

With a call, Gan Yonglin took off the black scarf on his face, pushed away everyone, and walked quickly towards the middle-aged man.

"Master?" Seeing Gan Yonglin, Gan Fu couldn't help but be stunned, and said in amazement, "Why are you here in person?"

"It's a big matter, how can the old man not come?" Gan Yonglin dragged Gan Fu closer without thinking, and urged, "Don't talk nonsense, come and see the Lord of the Xie Mansion and the Fourth Master Yan!"

As he spoke, Xie Xuan and Yan Bugui had already pulled off the black scarf one after another, revealing the true face of Lushan.

"Villain Gan Fu, I've seen the Lord of Xie Mansion and the Fourth Master of Yan!"

"Where is Liu Xunyi?" Without any extra greetings, Yan Bugui asked straight to the point, "What is the current situation?"

"Look, everybody!"

Gan Fu led everyone to the corner of the street, then stretched out his hand to the three-story building opposite, and introduced: "This is the Luzhou Inn, with a total of 27 guest rooms. Among them, the nine upper rooms from No. 1 to No. 9 are all on the third floor. Liu Xunyi and them wrapped a whole layer tonight. ”

"Which room does Liu Xunyi live in?" Xie Xuan's eyes were like torches, slowly scanning the black-lit windows, and asked, "Which room does Xun Qin live in?" and ...... How many guests are there at the inn tonight? Are there any other suspicious people besides Liu Xunyi and his party?"

"There are not many guests tonight, except for the nine upper rooms that were covered by Liu Xunyi, the rest of the rooms are about only about thirty percent, and no suspicious people were found. As for which room Liu Xunyi lives in...... I'm ashamed to say that since he lived in the inn, he has sent people to guard the staircase, even though the innkeepers are ...... I can't go up to the third floor. Gan Fu replied helplessly, "Therefore, we only know that Liu Xunyi lives on the third floor, as for which one he lives in...... We don't know either. ”

"Bastard thing!"

Gan Yonglin saw Gan Fu's vague words, and suddenly felt that his face was dull, so his face sank, and he said angrily: "The old man told me a thousand times to let you keep an eye on Liu Xunyi's every move." But you don't even know which room he's in, it's a bunch of useless rubbish!

"So...... You didn't see Liu Xunyi with your own eyes all afternoon?" Liu Yi, who was standing behind Yan Bugui, frowned and interjected faintly, "In other words, is Liu Xunyi in the inn...... You don't know at all. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Gan Yonglin, Xie Xuan, and Yan Bugui changed at the same time, and they all turned their scrutinizing eyes to the shocked Gan Fu.

"No, no, no!" Gan Fu waved his hand again and again, and hurriedly explained, "Ever since he entered the inn, our people have been staring outside, and they don't dare to blink their eyes. If Liu Xunyi leaves, no matter whether he walks through the door or through the window, it will be impossible to escape our sight. Unless he goes to heaven and earth......"

"Where is all this nonsense?" Gan Yonglin interrupted Gan Fu's quibbling quite impatiently, "The old man instructed you to put sweat medicine in the wine and food, but you can't even see people's faces......"

"Vote! We vote!" Gan Fu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask for credit, "Although they don't allow anyone to go up to the third floor, they always want tea, wine, and food." The guys brought the food and drinks to the staircase, and they served them up. Although our people can't go up, we 'carefully prepare' the wine and food...... But none of them were left behind. Hey hey ......"

Looking at the complacent Gan Fu, Yan Bugui's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he looked at the thoughtful Xie Xuan: "Mansion Master, what do you think?"

"I'm not sure ...... either," Xie Xuan hesitated, "in case they don't get ...... trick."

"Not only the wine and food, but also the tea is also mixed with sweat medicine. Gan Fu encouraged with a wicked smile, "Just in case, we not only turned over Liu Xunyi and his party, but also put down the other guests together." Half an hour ago, the innkeeper and his men had been quietly dismissed by us. I dare to assert that there are no more sober people in the current Luzhou Inn, and you can act boldly with confidence. ”

"This ......"

"Brother Xie, although Gan Fu is a coarse person, he is coarse and fine, and he is very reliable. Gan Yonglin muttered, "In your opinion, this matter ......."

"If it comes, it will be safe!"

After hesitating again and again, Xie Xuan's eyes suddenly became ruthless, so he turned his resolute gaze to the silent Yan Bugui, and said word by word: "No return, I ...... will"

"Mansion master, fourth master! With all due respect, this matter is inevitably too smooth, and even a little smooth...... Unbelievable. Liu Yixin was worried, and reminded again, "Liu Xunyi knows that he is the enemy of martial arts, and Luzhou is close to the Xianwang Mansion, how can he be defenseless? How can he brazenly swagger through the market? The most unfortunate...... How could he show his true face? How could he be easily targeted by a group of disciples of the Gan family who were not familiar with him? As everyone knows, when he returned to Lin'an from Mobei last year, he painstakingly 'conjured' up to dozens or hundreds of real and false stand-ins, and only then did he escape the pursuit of the world's heroes. Today's situation is more severe than in the past, and instead of doubling down on his precautions, he has relaxed his vigilance...... Don't you think it's weird?"

"This ......" Under Liu Yi's reminder, Xie Xuan, who was determined, seemed to be shaken again.

"Perhaps...... They understand that 'the most dangerous places are often the safest', and they deliberately go off the rails. Gan Fu smiled disapprerovingly, "This brother is right to be cautious, but ...... Don't be too cautious, let alone too worried. ”

"Even so, I don't think the sweat pills can deal with them. Liu Yi was worried, and shook his head again and again, "Liu Xunyi and Xun Qin are both veterans of the rivers and lakes, and the clumsy trick of poisoning and drugging is ......"

Your Excellency will never agree with this. Seeing Liu Yi dismantling his platform again and again, Gan Fu became more and more dissatisfied, so he retorted in a strange manner, "It is precisely because they are veterans of the rivers and lakes that they boast of watching the fire and have no fear, but they are the easiest to fall behind in clumsy tricks." ”

"But Liu Xunyi and Xun Qin are by no means arrogant people......"

"Enough!"

Just when Liu Yi and Gan Fu were arguing and arguing endlessly, the distraught Yan Bugui suddenly let out a loud shout, interrupting the dispute between the two.

"Tonight, everything is under the orders of the lord. Whoever dares to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!"

"That's good!" Gan Yonglin echoed, "Tonight, all the disciples of the Gan family obey the dispatch of the Xie Mansion Master, even the old man is no exception. ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi, who wanted to stop talking, and Gan Fu, who was resentful, glanced at each other viciously. With a cold snort, no one spoke again.

"Mansion Master, give the order!"

"Brother Xie, the old man and the disciples of the Gan family are obedient to you tonight ......"

"Thank you Brother Yonglin for your help!" Xie Xuan smiled gratefully at Gan Yonglin, and then changed his words, "However, tonight's events are unpredictable, and the slightest carelessness will cost you your own life." I mean, disciple of the Gan family...... Stay outside and watch the wind for us!"

"But ......"

"Brother Yonglin does not shy away from life and death, which is enough to make Xie and the Xianwang Mansion grateful. If the disciples of the Gan family make any mistakes because of this, Xie is afraid of death and it will be difficult to atone for his sins. Xie Xuanyi interrupted Gan Yonglin's argument rhetorically, "Brother Yonglin personally promised just now that everything is at my disposal." Now, I order you to watch the wind outside, without Xie Mou's permission, no one in the Gan family is allowed to step into the Luzhou Inn. ”

Gan Yonglin knew that Xie Xuan was thinking about himself, but he really couldn't resist his temperament, so he reluctantly agreed.

After careful consideration, what Liu Yi said is quite reasonable. Xie Xuan stared at the expressionless goose with his spare eyes, and said, "I mean...... Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, or send someone in to explore the truth first. ”

After that, Xie Xuan summoned two disciples of the Xianwang Mansion, whispered with them, and then sent them into the inn, while the others stood by.

"Boom! Click!"

At the moment when the two disciples disappeared at the door of the inn, an earth-shattering thunderbolt resounded in the night sky without warning, and the people who were holding their breath and concentrating on their heartstrings were so frightened that their hearts were shattered and their souls were scattered.

Immediately afterwards, thunder and lightning, wind and rain, flying sand and rocks, the sky was dark...... The huge city of Luzhou fell in an instant in a pouring rain that fell from the sky.

The eagerness of this rain caught everyone off guard.

The mania of this rain made everyone have nowhere to dodge.

The cold of this rain made everyone feel cold.

Look at the Luzhou Inn in front of you, standing under the lightning and thunder, in the wind and rain, near and far, bright and dark, suddenly a chaos, suddenly a miserable white, suddenly spotless, suddenly cloudy......

Just like the complex state of mind of a group of masked black-clothed people standing outside the inn at this moment.

Perhaps, they will be able to go back unharmed tonight. Since then, he has soared into the sky and become a hot "hero" in the Central Plains martial arts.

Perhaps, many of them will be seriously injured in the battle, or even become wisps of unjust souls and remain here forever, never to see the bright sun after the rain and clear the sky again.

is also a disciple of the Xianwang Mansion, the same black scarf to cover his face, the same murderous intent, and the same sharp knife in his hand......

The difference is that the optimist's mind conjures up a glorious paradise of fame and admiration. And the pessimist's eyes...... But it is a human purgatory with rivers of blood and corpses everywhere.

"Bang!"

"Ah......h

However, just when everyone's hearts were hanging by a thread and their thoughts were full of thoughts, a window on the third floor was suddenly knocked open.

Immediately afterwards, a heart-rending scream burst out from the "black hole"-like window, instantly overshadowing the roar of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and causing everyone standing downstairs to feel their hair stand upside down for no reason, and their backs were chilled.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

"Poof!"

It's too late, it's too soon. Before everyone could discern the situation, a figure suddenly fell from the third floor, falling heavily into the mud, and the ferocious concussion shattered its bones and shattered its internal organs.

"That's ...... Our people!"

Xie Xuan fixed his eyes and quickly identified the identity of the person who fell from the building, so his face changed, and he flew forward and hugged the dying disciple of Xianwangfu into his arms, and said sadly: "How is it? Did Liu Xunyi take precautions a long time ago? Did you fall into an ambush ......?"

"No...... No...... Ahem......"

The disciples of the Xianwang Mansion had hideous facial features, bleeding from their seven orifices, and a pair of bloody hands tightly grasped Xie Xuan's sleeves. His lips and teeth trembled, and he said intermittently: "All of them have been poisoned by sweat...... Most of them sleep like dead pigs...... However, there are some people with strong wills who are still in spirit, and the effect of the medicine cannot be completely suppressed, so they ...... Therefore...... Poof!"

Before he finished speaking, the dying disciple of the Xianwang Mansion suddenly stiffened, spat blood, tilted his head, and whimpered.

Heaven and hell are all in the palm of a moment, although everyone has a vague premonition in their hearts that tonight will not be peaceful. But they never expected that a bloody killing would ...... It started with the tragic death of his own people.

......
