In the dark night, the moon and stars are scarce, and the cold wind silently rips every inch of skin in this sky.

On this day, it was the day of the lunar month, and in the cold winter of Sanjiu, the people in Fancheng had already closed their doors and closed their doors, put out the candles and went to bed. But there is such a house that is brightly lit, and there are bursts of laughter and the sound of collisions with cups and lamps.

The front and back of this courtyard house are about ten zhang long, although it is not a big family, but in this Fan City, no one can live.

The owner of the courtyard is surnamed Yao, and no one knows his real name, but the people here call him Master Yao. Master Yao is kind and charitable on weekdays, but he has saved a lot of poor people, so he has a lot of fame in this Fancheng, and he also has a bit of friendship with the city lord of Fancheng.

At this time, in the courtyard of Yao's Mansion, there were five or six square tables, and there were several men sitting next to each table.

These people are all strong and strong, some are even shirtless, and they are constantly talking, laughing and drinking with the people around them. And beside these people, there was a long knife of fine iron, and the entire courtyard was filled with a strong killing atmosphere.

There was a staircase at the front of the courtyard, and above the staircase was a round table, at which only two people sat around. One of them was dressed in a white gown, holding a folding fan in his hand, and his mustache in the other hand from time to time. This person looks like a military advisor.

The other was dressed in a dark blue satin robe, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his left hand and a wine glass in his right hand, with a satisfied and benevolent smile on his face.

This person is the great benevolent man Yao who is respected by the people in this Fancheng City.

Master Yao looked like he was forty or fifty years old, and his face was very kind, no matter who he was, he couldn't connect him with these big men in this courtyard.

I saw him drink all the wine in the wine glass, gently put the wine glass on the table, and the person dressed like a military advisor on the side immediately filled the wine.

Master Yao picked up the wine glass again, slowly stood up, and said to the people in the courtyard, "Brothers."

It was just three words, there was no follow-up, and the voice was not loud, but everyone in the courtyard stopped talking for a moment and focused their eyes on him.

Master Yao smiled lightly, seemingly very satisfied with this, and then said, "Brothers, our business today is very smooth and fruitful, and this is also thanks to the brothers", beckoning behind him as he spoke.

Immediately afterwards, he saw four more big men come out of the room behind him, and these four men carried two long boxes on their shoulders. Carrying it to the front of the house, the four of them carefully put the box down. Despite this, there were two muffled crashes coming from the bottom of the boxes, indicating that the weight of the two boxes was extraordinary.

Master Yao waved again, and one of them understood, bent down and opened the two boxes, and suddenly a golden light flashed.

These two boxes are full of gold, and the ordinary people in this Fan City, even if they are busy working all their lives, I am afraid that they will not be able to earn even a piece of it.

The people in the courtyard, the moment they saw these gold, their eyes lit up, and they were completely attracted by it.

In fact, they have seen a lot of jewelry, gold and silver, but they are greedy, and they have greater desires, so every time they see treasures, it is difficult to hide the desires in their eyes.

Master Yao looked at the people in the courtyard, and the smile on his face was even bigger. This is exactly what he wants, all he needs is the greed of these people, and their madness. He gave the two chests of gold to the people in the courtyard, smiling even more triumphantly at their more greedy eyes. If there is a person who is familiar with him here on weekdays, he will definitely feel that Master Yao is extremely unfamiliar at this time.

Time flies, and wine goes faster.

By the time everyone was drunk and pushed to sleep, the night was already deep.

Master Yao was also a little drunk, staggered back to his room, and lay on the bed upside down, completely missing the image of the old man on weekdays.

At this time, on the roof of Master Yao, there was a figure sitting motionless on the ridge. The figure was very thin, wearing a black suit, and his face was covered with a black cloth, so he couldn't tell what he looked like.

No one knows when he sat here or how long he waited. His clothes are extremely thin, and it makes people feel very cold at a glance on this cold lunar day. He didn't seem to feel anything about it, and despite his emaciation, his figure was like a rock, and he sat there as if he were in peace.

The figure sat like this, and after an hour or so, the sky looked white, and thought that it would not be long before dawn would come. And at this moment, the emaciated figure who had been sitting for an unknown amount of time moved.

He stood up, and at the same time, a piece of the roof tile had disappeared, and the place where the tile disappeared was directly below Master Yao's bed.

It's a long story, this action was actually only completed in an instant, and then there was a pitch-black spear in his right hand at some point, and with a little force, the spear swept towards Master Yao along the hole where the tile disappeared in the rotation.

It was early in the morning, and he had drunk a lot of alcohol before, and Master Yao was sleeping Zhengxiang, but he was awakened by a sudden sense of crisis. Lying on the bed, he naturally couldn't see the spear coming at a rapid pace behind him, but the instinct from years of killing prompted him to roll under the bed with a roll over.

At the moment when Master Yao dodged the fatal blow, the black spear followed, piercing through his bed. At the same time, the sound of tiles breaking came from the roof, and when Master Yao got up and fled, he glanced back, and saw that the emaciated figure in black clothes had fallen, and he drew his spear and chased after Master Yao outside the door.

Master Yao ran out of the room, rushed to a wall with a few arrows, and did not stop, kicked his feet hard, and his whole body jumped up. With your left foot in front and your right foot behind, you tap twice on the wall and your body lands on the roof. He glanced back at the figure that had been chased out of the house, and without the slightest hesitation, turned and ran off into the distance.

The black-clothed figure saw the other party fleeing, and his footsteps did not stop at all. When he was still a foot away from the wall, he saw that he sent the spear in his hand forward, the tip of the spear pierced the ground, and his body borrowed his strength, and in the rotation, he went up to the roof and chased in the direction of Master Yao's escape.

Fan Cheng was originally not big, and the speed of the two of them was extremely fast, so half a pillar of incense arrived in a mountain forest in the south of the city.

Xu knew that he couldn't shake it off, and Master Yao finally stopped here. He looked at the figure a few feet away, and said, "This young man, I don't know why I chase Yao, but what did Yao offend before? Even if you want to take Yao's life, please let me die to understand how." After speaking, he looked at the black-clothed figure vigilantly, waiting for his answer.

The young man didn't speak, but threw the spear in his hand forward, stabbed it directly into the soil, and looked at Master Yao with cold eyes.

Master Yao frowned, not knowing what the other party meant, but looking at the spear in front of him, he felt a little familiar. After thinking for a moment, he still had no clue, and was about to ask again, when his heart suddenly trembled, as if he had thought of something, and looked at the spear's eyes round, showing a very surprised expression.

He slowly raised his gaze, placed it on the young man's body, and spoke again, "Xingmang! you are the black-clothed killer Xinglan of the Assassination Spirit Sect." After speaking, he paused for a few breaths, and then spoke, "Yao is quite cautious on weekdays, and he has never offended any character, I don't know who wants to take Yao's life"?

"Never ask your employer for a task, and you don't need to know about it." The young man's tone was very cold, and in his words, it seemed that he had already regarded the other party as a mortal person.

Master Yao had also heard of the name of the killer Xingmang, and knew that he was not his opponent, so he delayed as much time as possible. At this time, the sky was already a little bright, and if the people in the palace found out about the situation in his room, they would definitely look around, and then there would be no worries.

Thinking of this, Master Yao put down his body again and hugged his fist at the young man, "Xingmang Shaoxia, although Yao said that he had done some things to steal money and oversell goods on weekdays, but the wealth he robbed was all ill-gotten gains, so he used this to help the poor people of Fancheng, is it so, Shaoxia can't let it go?" After speaking, he still maintained the movement of clenching his fists with both hands, and looked at the young man as if expectantly.

The young man's eyes were still cold, and he didn't change at all because of Master Yao's words, and calmly said four words, "Good and evil have nothing to do."

When Master Yao heard this, he also knew that he couldn't delay any longer, sighed, and said, "That's it......

Before he could finish speaking, his body moved. I saw that there was an extra palm-long arrow in his hand that was originally holding his fist. Master Yao gritted his teeth and threw it at the young man, and his body also ran forward at the same time.

Two black shadows swept by, mixed with a crisp sound, and the running figure came to an abrupt halt. His eyes showed a look of disbelief, and he fell to the ground with deep reluctance.

On his head was an arrow that pierced through the temple of the right side of his head and extended out of the left side of his head. There was a piercing wound in his chest to his back, the black spear from the killer Starman.

"Why did you run out again?" Xingmang asked, holding a spear in his hand, looking at a big tree more than ten feet away on his left.

As he spoke, the tree shook, and a slender figure in a black robe floated down, and in a few steps came to the star.

It was a woman, fourteen or fifteen years old, with skin like clotted fat, which could be broken by blowing. Although her long hair was tied up on top of her head and she was wearing a monotonous black dress, it was not difficult to see that if she changed her clothes, she would definitely be ashamed.

The woman came to Xingmang's approach and said with some dissatisfaction, "Brother Xu Bing, Lin'er is also here to help you." That surnamed Yao is not a good person at all, he usually does a lot of bad things, I am afraid that you will be injured, so I want to help you", said and looked at Xing Meng with an aggrieved face.

Xu Bing is the name of this young man, and Xing Mang is just a title for his identity as a killer. But if you talk about this title, within a hundred miles of this Fancheng, I'm afraid there are few people who don't know.

He glanced at the woman, and without the slightest hint of blame, he spoke again, "If you let my father know that you sneaked out again, I don't know how many more days you will be imprisoned." After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the woman, but took out a dagger more than a foot long from his waist, waved it from Master Yao's neck, and a head rolled down to the side.

The woman on the side was about to speak, but when she suddenly saw this scene, she quickly took a few steps back. Although taking someone's life is nothing to her, she has never done it to cut off someone's head directly, and she is a little timid about it.

Xu Bing didn't seem to notice the woman's reaction, Gu Zidi took out a black cloth, wrapped Master Yao's head, and walked towards Fancheng with it.

The woman shouted twice behind her, but she didn't see Xu Bing answering, so she stomped her foot angrily and hurriedly chased after her......
