Summer mornings come very early, the sky is already white, the faint morning light passes through the trees, reflecting dappled lights and shadows on the ground, and the crisp chirping of birds is incessant.

Li Zifeng and his party shuttled through the trees, and a faint smell of blood mixed with the smell of earth came to their nostrils. Within a mile, several people came to an open field, and not far away was a small brick-walled courtyard.

The small courtyard is quite spacious, there are two dense trees standing in front of the door, the wooden courtyard door is painted, the surrounding is deserted, overgrown with weeds, surprisingly quiet, only the 'rustle' sound of the morning wind blowing through the leaves.

Shen Hongfei took the collar of the Megatron Shaker and pushed it forward, the Megatron Tiger stumbled under his feet, and it took a long time to stabilize before he fell, the Megatron Tiger looked east and west, "That's it, there were two guards under the tree at the gate at that time......

Before the Sky Shaking Tiger finished speaking, he was pushed back by Shen Hongfei by the shoulders, and several people clenched the weapons they were carrying at the same time and entered a state of preparation.

The smell of blood became more and more obvious, and the surrounding environment seemed to be a little wrong, Shen Hongfei waved his hand, and his two subordinates carefully pushed open the courtyard door, and the next moment, everyone was slightly stunned, only to see that in the courtyard, the corpses were lying horizontally, and at a glance, there were about thirty corpses. Each corpse had wounds of varying severity.

Li Zifeng asked about the bloody gas and faint smell, and his brows suddenly tightened, "But a corpse in one place?"

The Heaven-Shaking Tiger's expression changed slightly, "They are all masters! Who did it?"

At this time, Piaoyun Shenyu, who was investigating the periphery, came back and said to Li Zifeng, "Childe, there are eight corpses on the edge of the outer wall, all of which are swords in the throat, and one blow is fatal. The subordinates checked it, and there was a dark cyan crescent moon swallowing sun pattern on the left shoulder. Also found this..."

Piaoyun held a wooden carved token in his hand, he hesitated, not knowing whether to hand it to Li Zifeng, Li Zifeng didn't mind, "What is it?"

Shen Zhiping took the token and looked at it, and said, "It is a wooden token, with dark patterns carved on the back, and small characters in the seal under the front, engraved with the word 'Qingge'." ”

"Qing Pavilion?" Ling Xi thought for a while, searching quickly in his mind, and finally couldn't understand, "On the rivers and lakes, I have never heard of the organization of Qing Pavilion, could it be that we are lonely and unheard?"

Judging from the situation on the scene, it looks like a vendetta. Shen Zhiping led people to check, and after some exploration, he found that there was a crescent moon swallowing sun pattern on the left shoulder of each corpse, as well as the token. Shen Zhiping whispered to himself: The crescent moon swallows the sun, the pavilion is cleared... He suddenly had a bold guess in his heart, but it was too unbelievable.

Li Zifeng also took a few steps forward, and the blind cane in his hand touched a corpse, "Uncle Shi, what did you think?" Li Zifeng couldn't see it, and couldn't judge anything based on the situation at the scene, but he vaguely heard Shen Zhiping's slight sigh, and knew that things were not ordinary, so he asked.

Shen Zhiping shook his head, his expression solemn, "It's hard to say now." With that, he waved his hand to a shadow attendant and handed over the wooden token, "Investigate it thoroughly!"

"Yes. The Shadow Squire took the token and ordered him to retreat, and a dodge disappeared.

The sun rose slowly, but when it first arrived, the sunlight had already emerged, revealing a slight flash, and there seemed to be a slightly dazzling light flashing in front of him, with a strong murderous aura approaching Li Zifeng.

"Be careful!"

Before Shen Hongfei's words of reminder landed, a person suddenly jumped up from the pile of corpses, holding a short sword in his hand, and attacked Li Zifeng, who was closest to him. Li Zifeng waved his blind cane and picked off the approaching tip of the sword.

The man didn't give up, and continued to stab at Li Zifeng, and the clouds flashed over, and a sword picked the short sword in the man's hand, and the short sword fell to the ground, and it sounded 'clanging'. Piaoyun punched the man's abdomen, and the man retreated again and again, and then fell to the ground, and Piaoyun slammed his sword straight into his neck.

That person was in the attack last night, the killer who was almost alive was silent, and Wuyin was paralyzed on the ground, coughing up blood, and the sword wound on his chest gushed blood again.

Shadowless wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, looked at the group of people in front of him, his eyes were full of mockery, and then he laughed, his face twitched, "What's the matter? I didn't kill enough at night, and now I'm back to clean up the scene?"

"What did you say?" Shen Zhiping frowned slightly.

Shadowless laughed angrily, holding on to his spirit, "What are you pretending? If you want to kill, you have to be sharp, idiot!"

Li Zifeng touched the black cloth on his eyes, and his face was calm, "I can't see, I can't see your eyes, so don't let me guess." Who are you?"

Wuying looked at the few people in front of him hard, although these people did not look good, but they didn't seem to have any killing intent, besides, those killers were well-organized and well-trained, how could they choose a blind man?

Wuying simply stopped talking, just confronted them, and died. Losing so many subordinates overnight, and not knowing who the killer is, it is useless to live like this.

Outside the courtyard, a figure hidden in the shadows silently observed for a while, and then quietly flew away.

The Sky Shaking Tiger who was being held aside kept looking at them, this person was a little familiar to him, as if he was the leader of the group, at this time, Wu Ying also seemed to find the existence of the Sky Shaking Tiger, squinted his eyes slightly and roared, "It turned out to be you!"

The Sky Shaking Tiger was stunned, Shadowless wanted to break away from Piaoyun's long sword, reflexively prepared to hit the Sky Shaking Tiger, but was kicked in the abdomen by Piaoyun, and fell backwards again and again, Shadowless wanted to get up again, but he couldn't get up, his eyes were dark, and he fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.

Shen Zhiping stepped forward to check Wuying's pulse, although the pulse was weak and weak, but it beat quite regularly, Shen Zhiping made a move to seal several of his acupoints, "Still alive." ”

Li Zifeng was helpless, and said to Piaoyun with some disgust, "He has been seriously injured, you don't have to be too serious, if you die, you can't ask anything." ”

Piaoyun lowered his head slightly, and replied officially, "Subordinate... Be sure to remember next time. ”

Guard City

The sky was blue, the sun was just right, the streets were bustling with traffic, and the enthusiasm of the street vendors was undiminished, and it seemed that they were not affected by the famine and refugees.

A luxurious and atmospheric carriage passed through the lively crowd and slowly stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in front of the mansion, Wan Lin, the housekeeper who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward with wooden feet to greet him, and respectfully helped Wan Ziyu, who was dressed in court clothes, to get out of the car and enter the mansion.

Crossing the small bridge and stone road, Wan Ziyu walked straight into the study. After the servant served the hot tea, he quietly retreated, closed the door Wan Ziyu sat down in front of the bookcase, and picked up the tea cup. Behind the carved wood-framed dark-grained silk paper screen, a faint figure could not escape his eyes.

Wan Ziyu took a sip of tea, "But there's news?" His tone was calm, and he couldn't hear the slightest emotion.

Xiao Yun, the secret guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was a little deeper, and replied, "Everything is going well, only one living mouth is left." ”

"Oh?" Wan Ziyu put down the teacup, and the teacup fell on the bookcase, throwing it loudly, "Go on." ”

Xiao Yun continued, "After that, his subordinates stayed and observed until early in the morning, when they found that a group of people had entered the small courtyard, and there was an acquaintance among them. ”

"Li Zifeng?" Wan Ziyu glanced at the screen, saw Xiao Yun nodded, stroked his beard, and a deep smile appeared in his shrewd eyes, "Sure enough, I didn't disappoint the old man." That living mouth should be regarded as a generous gift from the old man!"

Wan Ziyu waved his hand, Xiao Yun understood, walked out from behind the screen, and handed over a letter with both hands, "My subordinates found this letter on that person, please take a look." ”

Wan Ziyu took the letter, and saw that the names of several people were on the letterhead, Wan Ziyu looked at it carefully, and his expression gradually became solemn, these names were too familiar to him, and they were actually the list of trusted officials in the DPRK and China. Wan Ziyu frowned deeply, and said in a deep voice, "That one really couldn't sit still and began to attack the court officials." ”

Xiao Yun lowered his head silently and did not respond, he was not good at talking about the affairs of the court.
