The setting sun spat out the last rays of its afterglow and fell into the horizon, and the sky gradually darkened.

The Black Tiger Village, which had been noisy for a day, was not quiet, but even more noisy. Because tomorrow is a good day for their village owner's wedding, and some mountains that have a good relationship with Black Tiger Village have arrived in advance, so everyone is extremely happy. Groups of people gathered around the table to drink and brag, and from time to time bursts of cheers and laughter erupted, and the roof was almost torn over.

Under the moonlight, a man in black quietly jumped onto the roof, uncovered a tile, and closed his eyes.

In the hall at this moment, a big man with a leopard's head and eyes and a long scar on his face was holding a huge wine bowl, stepping on the stool with one foot, pointing to the scar on his face with the other, and salivating and saying its glorious history: "...... Lao Tzu thought in his heart, stretching out his head is a knife, and shrinking his head is also a knife. Anyway, eighteen years later, he is a good man. Lao Tzu rushed up with a copper hammer, and without looking at it, he just hammered down, and the guy fell down without snorting, and someone pounced on Lao Tzu from behind. And guess what? Lao Tzu's copper hammer got stuck in the grandson's head, and he couldn't pull it out. But people are holding knives, in a hurry, Lao Tzu had to flash to the side, and the knife was cut off, just on Lao Tzu's face, otherwise, with Lao Tzu's appearance back then, the eldest girl in ten miles and eight towns did not cry and shouted to marry me......"

Immediately, a man was unconvinced and shouted: "How did I hear that the scar on your face is because you are jealous of Hu Lao Er from the wild wolf village, and you were cut by the other party with a pig-killing knife." The onlookers burst into laughter.

"I'm bah!" Scar's face snorted, the scar on his face jumped, squinted his eyes and glanced at the person who spoke, and said with his nostrils facing the sky, "You call Hu Lao Er, and I will confront him face to face." Let's see who suffered that day?" After speaking, he took out a pair of copper hammers from the table and ground, waved them in the air, and said, "Yang Ergou, why don't you try it first?"

Since Yang Ergou dared to choke him with words, he naturally wouldn't be afraid of him, and immediately shouted: "Try it! I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

"It's him!" the man in black on the roof saw the scarred face, and a chill appeared in his eyes. is the so-called enemy who is very red when he meets, and at this moment he really wants to split this person with one palm.

It turned out that this man in black was Luo Chen. On that day, he escorted Zhang Jue's family to Baoning, ostensibly because of the brotherhood with Zhang Jue, but in fact, he was entrusted by Ni Pengcheng to secretly take the fugitive prince Murong Hao of the Black Sand Kingdom to Baoning and hand it over to Princess Yongning.

Originally, everything was going well, not only was Murong Hao caught and sent out of the city by Su Jing with a trick, but he also won the trust of the Zhang family as he wished, as long as he met with Yun Xiu who escorted Murong Hao out of the city, he could take people away under everyone's noses without knowing it.

But things are often bad for some small people, who guard against the pursuers and other forces in the city, but they don't expect that there are thieves who block the road and rob. After he settled the Zhang family, the people hurried to the agreed place, in addition to seeing a bunch of cut ropes, a few pools of blood and an embroidered shoe, where there were Yunxiu and others. That Murong Hao's escape was certainly a big deal, but for him, Yun Xiu's disappearance obviously made him even more anxious.

Through the clues at the scene, he chased all the way to the vicinity of the Black Tiger Village. I happened to hear that the owner of the Black Tiger Village was married, and invited all the people from the surrounding mountains to celebrate. He wondered if he could take the opportunity to sneak in and inquire about Yun Xiu's whereabouts. It's a pity that when I got here, I found that although there are so many people, it is really not easy to find someone to inquire. During the day, he pretended to be someone from other mountains and only inquired a little before arousing the suspicion of the other party, and almost exposed himself. had to take advantage of the dark moon and high wind to sneak out. This is certainly not a glorious thing for the descendants of the Laoshan lineage, but he can't take care of so much in a hurry.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he felt, if it weren't for the fact that this Scarface and a group of bandits who didn't know whether to live or die blocked the road and robbed him, causing him to fail to meet Yun Xiu in time, how could things be so bad. He looked at the scarred face that was showing off his might, and the murderous intent in his heart suddenly dawned.

The-for-tat in the room continued, and the voices of the two who were both drinking were getting higher and higher, and the copper hammer of Scarface was raised. Yang Ergou on the other side was not to be outdone, and grabbed a bench casually. The people next to him obviously didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and they were all people from various hills, hoping that other people's forces would be suppressed, so not only did no one persuade them, but they cheered on the side. In the end, the people in Black Tiger Village are the masters, and those who want to persuade are quietly stopped by the people next to them.

What a godsend!

Luo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he broke off a piece of broken tile from his side, and was about to shoot out.

At this moment, several figures hurriedly walked over from the front yard. When even the sharp-eyed people shouted, "Sit down, Mr. Shen is here!" Luo Chen also recognized the person, quickly stopped the movements in his hand, and lowered his body.

The first person was Mr. Shen Yanshen, the military advisor of Black Tiger Village, he was about fifty years old, he was not good-looking, wearing a green cloth robe, a pair of black cloth shoes, and a slight hunched back, and the whole looked like a private school gentleman's dress. Who would have expected that he would be the key figure in the rapid rise of this Black Tiger Village in the past two years.

He just stood at the door, a pair of small eyes shining around the hall, his eyes fell on the two people standing, his brows furrowed, and said, "What's the matter?"

At a table near the door, someone from the Black Tiger Village immediately stood up and replied: "Mr. Hui's words, both of them have drunk too much! ”

Mr. Shen nodded, and said to the people in the hall: "The night is dark, and I still need to rely on your help tomorrow." The guest room has been arranged, and if you have eaten and drunk enough, you can go back to your room to rest. Although his words were polite, there was a chill on his face.

"I've eaten and drunk enough, I'll go back to my room first!

"I'm full, too!"

"Me too!"

......

As soon as he finished speaking, someone got up and left. As more and more people left, soon the people in the hall walked away, and everyone bowed slightly when they passed by Shen Yan's side, obviously with great respect for this Mr. Shen. In fact, then again, these people will come to congratulate, and most of them still look at Shen Yan's face.

When a man with a scorched face passed by the door, he was stopped by Shen Yan, and he said with a smile: "I don't know which mountain this brother is? ”

The man with a scorched face turned pale, and said calmly: "I'm just a nobody, Mr. Shen is busy, and it's normal if you haven't seen it." ”

"Really?" Shen Yan smiled coldly, and suddenly raised his hand to grab the other party's face.

The man with a scorched face reacted very quickly, his body suddenly leaned back to avoid this grasp, and then turned in a circle in place, waving his hands together, and several hidden weapons flew towards Shen Yan. After putting the hidden weapon, he didn't look at the result, and rushed towards the door on tiptoe.

Shen Yan only raised his sleeves and waved, and all the hidden weapons were empty, and his body moved slightly and stopped at the door in front of the man, and at the same time, his right palm pushed out flatly. His movements were extremely fast, and the person next to him looked like the man took the initiative to send him up to the chest, and beat the man on the spot until he vomited blood and fell to the ground.

"Take it away!" Shen Yan looked coldly at the man who was vomiting blood, and said sarcastically, "It's not a small courage, to be a thief, I'm here in Black Tiger Village." After saying that, with a wave of his hand, someone immediately stepped forward to pick up the man with a burnt face and left in a hurry.

He looked at the overwhelmed thieves and said, "Lu Mou still has something to do, so I won't accompany him, please take care of yourself." With that, he turned and left.

The group froze in place, completely unaware of what was happening. No one noticed, and a man in the corner slipped out of the side door.

He picked out the places where the lights couldn't shine, and soon left the bustling backyard and came to a secluded wing.

"Who?" said a slightly wary woman's voice from inside the room.

The man hurriedly whispered, "Me!"

The door soon opened, and the man looked around again to see nothing unusual, quickly dodged in, and then closed the door tightly.

As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to say, "Senior sister, quickly pack up your things, let's leave tonight!"

"What are you doing in a hurry? The woman who had just returned to the chair and sat down glanced at him when she heard this, and said dissatisfiedly: "We have been here for so long to change our face, and we are about to succeed, so you told me to leave at this time?"

The man hurriedly said: "As the so-called future is long, since it has been determined that the painting is in Shen Yan's hands, it will be the same whenever you come to get it, so why rush for a while." If you don't leave tonight, you won't be able to leave in the future. ”

The woman also became nervous when she heard this, and asked, "What's wrong?"

The man briefly finished talking about what happened in the hall, and said with trepidation: "Fortunately, I deliberately fell behind, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to escape." That Shen Yan is really terrifying!"

The woman realized the seriousness of the matter, nodded and said, "You're right, I'll go in and clean up right away." ”

"It's only now, won't it be too late!" A cold voice suddenly came from outside the door, it was Shen Yan's voice.

The two people in the room were taken aback, looked at each other, and ran towards the back door.

As soon as they opened the door, they were forced back into the house by random arrows, and the two didn't have time to think about it, so they rushed towards the main gate instead. As soon as they rushed out of the door, the two stopped. Two long knives were pointed directly at their chests. At the slightest movement, the knife would pierce them in the heart.

"Hand over that painting and leave you all corpses!" Shen Yan said lightly.

The woman said in a trembling voice, "We don't know what you're talking about. ”

Shen Yan glanced at her, raised his hand and beckoned, and immediately someone dragged a person out of the shadows. He grabbed the man's hair, made his face face to the two of them, and said, "Tell me what you see!"

The man's raised face was still burnt yellow, and when he heard Shen Yan's words, he opened his swollen eyes, looked at the man and woman standing at the door, and his dim eyes regained a glimmer of light, and hissed: "Yes, they were the ones I saw that night." They must have stolen the painting. ”

"You fart!" the man said angrily, "the secret grid was already opened when we went, you must have stolen the painting to frame it!"

Shen Yan nodded when he heard this, and said, "Don't worry, none of you can escape!" After speaking, he turned his head and ordered, "Throw it into the dungeon first, and then dispose of it after the owner of the village gets married!" After speaking, he turned around and left. He still has a lot of things to do tonight, and he really can't deal with these little characters.

Before the woman could speak, she was slashed in the neck with a knife in one hand and fainted on the spot.

Luo Chen, who was standing on a tree branch far away, looked at this scene and suddenly had doubts in his heart: What painting is so important?
