Midnight. In the city of Liangzhou. Duanfu.

The night is like ink, and everything is quiet.

Suddenly, a group of masked people came quietly, and when they arrived at the outer wall of Duanfu, one of them made a few gestures, and everyone immediately divided into three ways and entered over the wall.

A row of adobe houses in the backyard was used for servants. At the end of the adobe house, there is a small courtyard, and the residents are the family of Duan Zhen, the deputy head of the Duan Family Dart Bureau.

A scream suddenly came from the front yard, waking up Duan Zhen!

Duan Zhen got up suddenly, and between dressing, he could already hear the screams outside. In less than four breaths, he was out of the house.

As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, a black gun suddenly pierced him, Duan Zhen turned around and avoided, and when he turned around, he stood with the stick, and his feet got up with his steps, and he used the "Liangzhou Stick Technique" technique to "push the window and catch the moon" in the exercise, "Woo-" sounded, accompanied by a muffled snort, a black shadow fell away, and withered to the ground.

Duan Zhen did not stop the pace of rushing forward, only to see the sword light in front of him, the sound of gunfire, and he did not answer, so that the tricks of "sweeping the clouds and the moon" and "sweeping thousands of troops" made a crackling, defusing the opponent's offensive, and he also took three steps back.

Duan Zhen knew that he was a fierce enemy, so he was no longer in a hurry to rush forward, exhaled a turbid breath, and looked fixedly, but saw four masked men slowly approaching and surrounded him at the gate of the courtyard in a fan shape.

I heard the middle one laugh dryly, and said: "I have heard of the soul chasing stick Duan Zhen's 'Duan Family Stick Technique' Hexi Wushuang, when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation, and if I fought with you, it would not insult the five of our brothers. ”

Duan Zhen is not the first time he has heard of the Duan family's stick technique. In Liangzhou, the most famous martial arts is the "Liangzhou stick technique", which is a pair of eyebrow sticks, stabbing, poking, sweeping, teasing, pausing, folding, picking, sealing...... A total of 16 moves, so that the general up, the enemy can not be close to the enemy, each move is both offensive and defensive, the power is great, according to legend for the Three Kingdoms Ma Chao created. Duan Zhen is a martial arts genius, improving the 16 moves one by one, attacking when defending, not restricting moves, and focusing on attack. Once attacked, it was like a big river, surging endlessly, and few Hexi masters walked ten moves under Duan Zhen. Therefore, the name of the rivers and lakes is Duan Zhen, and the stick method is directly called "Duanjia stick technique".

At this time, there were constant sounds of fighting and screams in the front yard, and there were no less than forty or fifty people who wanted to attack Duanfu at night. As the first master of Duan Mansion, he couldn't protect his master Duan Huo at the critical moment, Duan Zhen was so anxious, how could he have a few people in front of him who had high martial arts skills, and he couldn't break through, so he had to pray in his heart that Master Duan wouldn't do anything, calm down, and think of a way to break the enemy.

Then he asked in a deep voice: "Everyone, why did you break into my Duan Mansion at night?"

A masked man in the middle of the opposite side smiled: "We don't need to ask the names of the five brothers, and we have no grudges against the soul chaser, just collect money from people and eliminate disasters for others, please come with us." ”

At that time, the masked man who had just been knocked down by Duan Zhen had already stood up and stood opposite with a spear in his hand.

Duan Zhen was suspicious in his heart, looked carefully, and saw five people on the opposite side, two with guns and two with knives, but the one who took the lead in the middle made two axes, and muttered: "You ...... Are they the Five Tigers of Mobei?"

The "Five Tigers of Mobei" is a well-known murder gang in Mobei, which makes the boss of the double axe the god tiger Erri Dunbari, the two people who make the knife are the second white tiger Chaganbala and the third black tiger Harbara, and the two people who make the gun are the fourth red tiger Ulan Bari and the fifth green tiger Huhe Bari. The five of them worked hard for money, entered the same together, and injured more than three first-class masters in the hands of the five people, and had a great reputation. Duan Zhen had this guess, but he heard that the "Five Tigers of Mobei" had arrived in the Liangzhou area, and he did not expect to come to Duan Mansion today.

Although they had never met, Duan Zhen guessed it. The boss Shenhu didn't deny it, and said: "Duan Zhen, the soul chasing stick, is really good, knowing that you won't be caught with your hands tied, our brother will learn your tricks!" After speaking, he swung his double axe and killed.

Duan Zhen turned around and stepped towards the Divine Tiger, as if it was another move to "push the window and catch the moon", the Divine Tiger just jumped back, but he heard the old four red tigers who had just been knocked down by Duan Zhen screamed, and flew away diagonally, and there was no sound.

Duan Zhen killed the red tiger with a move of "hidden dragon probe", his confidence increased greatly, he roared, his body was like a phantom, the stick was like a dragon, he swept the god tiger, killed the green tiger, picked the white tiger, kicked the black tiger, and attacked the four tigers in a hurry, trying their best to parry.

The Divine Tiger was not a little surprised, with his five tigers joining forces, it can be said that it is like tearing a sheep to kill a first-class master, how could he have thought that he would break a tiger today! Although the Red Tiger was carelessly destroyed, the four tigers still can't take Duan Zhen together! I thought that no matter who among the five tigers could win alone, I knew that it was a big mistake! Duan Zhen was much more powerful than the rumors!

Duan Zhen was also secretly frightened, after killing the Red Tiger, the first wave of his attack was ten percent strong, he thought that he could destroy at least one more tiger, but he didn't expect that only the Black Tiger was slightly injured. After stabilizing the position, the four tigers are even more impeccable!

Duan Zhen had to slow down the offensive, "Stick sweeping all directions", "Beacon Fire Drama", "Ox Asking Pear", "Sound East Attacking West", "Horse Stepping on Feiyan" - the moves in Liangzhou's stick technique were endless, and the four tigers advanced and retreated together, not daring to separate, and the two sides fought evenly for a while.

was fighting inextricably, and suddenly there was a loud shout from the front yard, and I saw a black shadow rolling like a wheel, and rushed to Duan Zhen in an instant, "Bah-" hit Duan Zhen with a palm. Duan Zhen flew backwards, knocked down the wall of the courtyard behind him, spurting blood from his mouth, and fainted.

Duan Zhen was already exhausted with one enemy and four, and the black shadow was fierce and powerful, but he couldn't catch one of his palms!

"Brother Zhen-" Duan Zhen's wife Chen Rui exclaimed, and as soon as she arrived at Duan Zhen's side, she was kicked in the heart by the black shadow man. Chen Rui flew more than a foot away, fell to the ground, and was silent, seeing that he couldn't live.

"Five trash!" The black shadow man said a word to the four tigers, took off the masked black cloth, showed his face full of beard, and waved his hand, "Enter the house and search!" Then he led the four tigers into the house, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, and the sound of ping-pong was endless.

After failing for a while, the bearded man said: "That's it, let's search again at dawn, doesn't Duan Zhen have two cubs, you go to find it, ask the living people in the front yard, where did they run?

The four tigers responded and slammed the door.

The bearded man went to Duan Zhen, lifted it up, and asked, "Say, where is the Jijie Ring hidden?"

Duan Zhen was angry, and smiled miserably: "What is the succession ring? I have never heard of it." Who is Your Excellency? Just by virtue of this succession, you will mobilize the people and slaughter my Duan Mansion, Your Excellency is crazy about killing!"

"Humph!" The bearded man said, "What is Duan Mansion! From now on, there will be no Duan Mansion in the Liang Land Realm in the future! Duan Huo has just been seriously injured by me, and your soul chaser stick is not really surnamed Duan, why should you die in vain for the Duan family! ”

Suddenly hearing that Duan Huo was seriously injured and captured, Duan Zhen had a "boom-" sound in his head, and suddenly burst out, and crashed headlong into the bearded man, with a muffled sound, the bearded man's ribs were broken, and he took a few steps back, and at the same time, a dagger burst into the air and plunged into his back.

The bearded man strode forward, slapped Duan Zhen with one palm, turned around, but saw a small masked man standing quietly a few meters away.

The bearded man roared angrily, and just stepped forward and raised his hand, but he stumbled and fell to the ground with a bang.

The little masked man hurried over, helped Chen Rui up, pinched his acupoint with his fingers, and Chen Rui woke up slowly.

Chen Rui crawled to Duan Zhen's side. Duan Zhen had just been struck a fatal blow, and he was slapped again, and he was already exhausted. Chen Rui stroked Duan Zhen's face, groaned: "Brother Zhen-", opened his mouth, spit out a jade pendant the size of a copper coin, handed it to the little masked man, and said, "Mr. Chen, please hand it over to You'er and Ling'er to keep a thought." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head, fell on Duan Zhen's body, and died of incense.

The little masked man screamed sadly: "Miss ......" was about to pick up Chen Rui, but when he heard someone coming, he quickly got up and walked out over the wall.

Three hundred zhang northwest of Duanfu, there is a medical hall along the street, and the owner of the hall is the little masked man called Mr. Chen by Chen Rui.

Mr. Chen rushed to the hospital and burst into tears when he looked at the two children sleeping on the kang.

The two children are the children of Duan Zhen and Chen Rui: Duan You and Duan Ling.

More than 10 years ago, Mr. Chen Rui's family came to Liangzhou from the Jin Dynasty to avoid war, and repeatedly encountered soldiers and bandits on the way, leaving only Chen Rui and him. was once attacked by bandits in Qilian Mountain, and was rescued by Duan Zhen. Later, Chen Rui married Duan Zhen, and he opened a medical clinic in Liangzhou City. Duan and Chen have a very close relationship, Duan You and Duan Ling also like Mr. Chen very much, and often spend the night in the hospital.

never thought that disaster would fall from the sky, and overnight, eight-year-old Duan You and five-year-old Duan Ling became orphans!

Suddenly, there was another shout of killing outside, and from time to time someone roared by, and someone was fighting around the hospital.

Mr. Chen listened attentively for a moment, and then woke up Duan Youduan.

I can't wait here!

Duan Youyi got up, helped his sister Duan Ling get dressed, and asked Mr. Chen, "Grandpa, there are robbers?"

Mr. Chen nodded and said, "Yes, the robbers attacked Duanfu at night, let's go quickly!"

Duan You jumped off the kang, heard someone outside the door, looked through the crack in the door, and saw three black shadows in front of the door.

The person who came was the old five green tigers in the "Five Tigers of Mobei", Hu and Bari, with two soldiers. The three of them nodded to each other and didn't speak, Qinghu stepped open the door with one foot, and saw Duan You holding a stick, frustrating his lunge, and staring at him.

Qinghu sneered, threw the spear in his hand to the soldiers beside him, and opened his two big hands and grabbed Duan You.

Duan You's body moved, and a stick was pointed on Qinghu's knee, Qinghu was in pain and almost fell.

Qinghu was furious and shouted: "Broken cub baby, dare to make a move to the fifth master, the fifth master will abolish you!" He grabbed the spear from the soldier's hand, pulled out his stance, and raised the gun to smash it at Duan You.

This spear is made of a whole iron rod, if it is smashed, Rao is an adult will either die or be injured, and he is an eighteen-year-old child! Duan You rushed left and right, how could two soldiers block the road, and it was difficult to save his life!

At the last moment, he saw Qinghu's body tremble, opened his mouth and made a loud sound, and he collapsed softly, and the two soldiers also fell to the ground immediately - Mr. Chen, who was hiding in the shadows, shot with a flying knife!

Mr. Chen put away the flying knives on the three Qinghu, hid the three corpses in the cellar in the courtyard, picked up Duan Ling, said to leave quickly, and took Duan You out of the medical hall.
