Lin Yiqi held a long knife, slashing in the courtyard, a set of knife techniques, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, this is the housekeeping skill that Xing Dao taught him two days ago - the knife technique of opening the mountain.

This knife method has a total of 36 styles, out of the knife line move open and close, with an indomitable momentum, the move is minimalist, all by the swordsman a heroic, a knife two knives three knives, the knife momentum in the continuous attack of the knife man crazy climb, and finally in the thirty-sixth knife to reach the peak, a knife swing, is to split the mountain and break the sea, the power of ten thousand people!

Collecting the knife and wiping the sweat, there was a dense knock on the door like raindrops outside the courtyard, and did not wait for Lin Yiqi to squeak, the wooden door was pushed open with a bang, and after seeing the person clearly, Lin Yiqi smiled slightly, pinned the long knife to his waist, and strode out, the moon stars were shining, and the cool autumn breeze blew through the entire Bianjing City, and the prosperity of the land of Gyeonggi was not affected by the street work of the knights of the rivers and lakes last night.

For those reckless men whose hands are stained with blood, everyone's hearts always have a trace of disgust, everything is inferior, only reading high, dancing knives and guns, it is not the mainstream of this era, everyone is eager to study hard for ten years, and once become famous.

With the drawing of the knife of the young man in fresh clothes, the originally chaotic and tense situation in the entire Bianjing City ushered in a climax at a terrifying speed, and after three days, everything will be settled!

Wearing a green silk gown, a round-faced fat man in a black satin tufted coat, with a big belly, drove all the way, and rushed to the largest restaurant in Bianjing City-Drunken Xianju, the carriage had not stopped, and the fat man lifted the curtain in a hurry and jumped down.

"Where is Lord Xing's banquet?" the fat man casually grabbed a Xiao Si who was serving tea and pouring water, and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Si seemed to have been instructed a long time ago, bowed to him, and also lowered his voice and said, "Sir, please come with me." After speaking, he turned around and led the fat man towards the back yard, and through the brightly lit corridor, the two came to a self-contained cross-courtyard.

The fat man pushed the door in, and found that the house was illuminated by candles, and there were three people sitting in the hall, all of whom were well-known figures near Gyeonggi, and sitting on the left side was the first big hooligan leader in Bianjing, this person's surname was Sun Minghou, and he was nicknamed Eye Tongtian, holding seven or eight green buildings in his hand, more than a dozen pawnshops, and countless casinos of all sizes.

Next to Sun Hou sat a middle-aged man with a slightly white beard, thick eyebrows and thin eyes, a green shirt and a short coat, and a transcendent temperament in his gestures.

The two sat at the table with a yellowish face of the horse-faced old man, originally a bandit who robbed the house, surnamed Li Mingyan, a kung fu is quite good, the people in the rivers and lakes are called the iron hand King Kong, a pair of iron sand palms make the furnace perfect, kill people without blinking, notoriety, but ten years ago suddenly announced that the golden basin washed his hands, made a small bamboo house outside Bianjing City, closed the door to repair, cut off all contact with the rivers and lakes, but there is a bit of repentance and sincerity.

Although the fat man is not a person in the rivers and lakes, but after going south and north for so many years, he has also been contaminated with the habits of some people in the rivers and lakes, and he clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Little brother Jin Jia, come one step late, let the three old brothers wait for a long time." ”

Jinjia?

Hearing this name, Sun Hou was stunned at first, and then reacted after a while, Jin Jia, the famous president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, holds most of the weaving industry in Jiangnan, and in just ten years, the originally unknown Jin family has become the first wealthy family in Jiangnan.

"Brother Jin is polite. Sun Hou got up to greet him, introduced Jin Jia to Zhang Tong and Li Yan with a smile, and said, "President of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Jin Jia." After speaking, he pointed to Zhang Tong and Li Yan, and introduced to Jin Jia: "The head of the Beishan Bagua Gate, Zhang Tong, the iron hand King Kong, Li Yan." ”

After Sun Hou finished introducing him, Zhang Tong slowly got up and returned the salute to Jin Jia with an arrogant expression, while Li Yan did not move like a clay sculpture, just raised his eyelids and stared at Jin Jia, which was regarded as a face.

"Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turned out to be the head of the gossip gate, who has admired the name for a long time, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today. Jin Jia laughed, disapproving of the contempt of the two, the law is a cheap businessman, in the Dayue Dynasty is no exception, businessmen can be said to be one of the most despised professions in society, the image in the eyes of the world is often linked to insidiousness and cunning, everyone in the rivers and lakes has a unique skill, there is already a domineering arrogance, it is not easy to sit down calmly and have a meal with Jin Jia.

Facing Zhang Tong, Jin Jia turned to Li Yan and made a gesture, and said with a hearty smile: "The prestige of the Iron Hand King Kong is like thunder in the rivers and lakes, and when I see it today, it is really majestic and majestic, Brother Li, disrespectful!"

Jin Jia greeted him left and right, which eased the tense atmosphere in the room slightly, he sat down generously, his eyes turned slightly, and said: "The three elder brothers are all well-known figures in the Gyeonggi territory, and this meal is not very delicious today. ”

Sun Hou smiled and said, "Hehe, my head has a big scar off the bowl, can you still eat dead people after a meal?"

Zhang Tong snorted coldly: "Zhang Mou, I usually keep to myself, never violate the law and discipline, even if he is the head of the head and powerful, he can't be happy with us ordinary people who pay taxes after paying taxes." ”

Hearing the words of violation of law and discipline, Li Yan's eyelids trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a helpless wry smile.

"Brother Zhang doesn't have to be excited, as for why Mr. Xing invited guests to dinner, I have a hint of humor. Sun Hou's gaze quickly swept over the faces of the three people in the room, and said to Zhang Tong.

"Brother Sun is really powerful. Jin Jia's eyes were solemn and he arched his hand.

"Prizes. Sun Hou smiled, his expression immediately became solemn, and he lowered his voice and said, "I wonder if you can understand what happened last night?"

"What happened last night?" Li Yan mentioned a trace of interest, he had lived outside Bianjing City for a long time, and naturally he didn't know much about what happened in the city.

"There was a commotion in the city last night, and I could hear shouts of killing coming from the street in my room at the inn. Jin Jia frowned slightly and recalled.

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Tong was surprised, he usually lived in a simple place in the door, and he never thought that the outside world would be chaotic like this, and this kind of thing happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it was unbelievable.

"That's right!" Sun Hou said in a serious tone: "Last night, a person was lost in the prison, to be precise, he was rescued by a group of masters of the rivers and lakes!"

"Which group of people have such courage?" Zhang Tong asked.

"This brother doesn't know, it is said that last night, the masters of the Thousand Machines Battalion came out, and the two sides fought hard, and finally escaped by those who robbed the prison. Sun Hou shook his head and said.

"I see. Jin Jia suddenly realized and said, "Presumably, Mr. Xing called a few of us here today, just for the robbery last night?"

Everyone was talking about it, and suddenly, there was a clear laughter outside the door: "Haha, Xing is one step late because of something, and I hope that the four will forgive their sins!"

The four of them turned their eyes and saw a tall thin man wearing a black power suit, a single knife at his waist, light cloth boots, and a capable face, walking in quickly.

"Master Xing!"

The four of them stood up together to greet each other.

Xing Dao smiled and waved his hand, strode to the main seat and sat down, looked around at everyone, and said: "I heard it in the courtyard just now, since everyone knows the reason why I came to you, so as not to make a lot of contemptible words, brother, I don't say secret words, and a person was indeed robbed in the prison last night." ”

"Who was robbed?" asked Zhang Tong.

"Someone you all know. Xing Dao's tone gradually became solemn.

Sun Hou thought for a moment on the side, and suddenly let out a sigh, and said in a frightened tone: "Isn't that ...... Withered Men and Demons!"

Hearing the words "withered face man and demon", the five people present, except for Jin Jia, who knew nothing about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the other four people looked sideways, and a thick worry surged between their eyebrows.

"Who is the Withered Mask?" asked Jin Jia.

"Brother Jin is not from the rivers and lakes, and it is understandable that he doesn't know this withered face man and demon...... Speaking of this, Sun Hou paused and said: "Twenty years ago, there was a bloody storm on the rivers and lakes, and a man who called himself a withered man and demon led more than a dozen first-class masters with stunts to sweep the martial arts, Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Huashan...... These well-known factions were slaughtered overnight, and the cult people wanted to rise up and cause chaos, but who would have thought that this withered man and demon would wipe out all the cults with one person and one sword!"

"This withered man and demon is so strange, after slaughtering the decent, why do you want to wipe out the evil sect?" Jin Jia was puzzled.

"Why, maybe only he himself, and the first-class masters under him who are known as the Twelve Heavenly Demons in the world......" Sun Hou sighed and said, " At that time, on the rivers and lakes, it can be said that people were panicking, and the name of the withered man and demon was always a cloud of gloom over everyone's heads, and every three or five times there would be news that the disciples of a certain sect went out to practice and were brutally killed by the twelve heavenly demons; the withered face man and demon cut off the head of a certain sect with a sword, and the corpses of the whole sect were all over the field, and there was no life left in the upper and lower places; a certain gentry in the south of the Yangtze River was 60 years old, and the withered man and demon slaughtered him in a rage because he did not receive the invitation......

"Ah!" Jin Jia exclaimed, "At that time, Old Man Guo was sixty years old, and the entire Guo family was inexplicably destroyed, I didn't expect it to be done by this withered man and demon!"

"I still remember that Master strictly forbade the disciples of the sect to go down the mountain, for fear of luring this withered man and demon over. Zhang Tong smiled bitterly.

"I remember that the withered man demon was arrested fifteen years ago, right?" Li Yan said in a deep voice.

"That's right!" Sun Hou's eyes flashed with a strange look, as bright as the rising sun, full of deep worship, and said: "At that time, the withered face man and demon were famous in the rivers and lakes, and the court did not dare to provoke easily, and everyone was in danger for a while, at this moment, a heroic man with great righteousness was born!

"There is such a thing!" Jin Jia heard this, and said, "What is the sect of this hero, and what is his name?"

Sun Hou smiled slightly and said, "This hero's surname is Yang Mingfeng, and he is the head of Muyun Sect!"

"Muyunmen...... Is it a very powerful sect?" asked Jin Jia.

"It's amazing! It's understandable to say that it is the number one sect in the rivers and lakes today!" Sun Hou said proudly, as if he was honored.

"What was the outcome of the battle at the top of Huashan?" Jin Jia asked.

Speaking of this, Sun Hou's expression suddenly fell lonely, and he said: "The withered man and demon were sent to the heavenly prison and imprisoned, and ...... Yang Feng, Yang Daxia is nowhere to be found, there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that in the first battle of Huashan, Yang Daxia fought with the withered man and demon to exhaustion, and finally although he forcibly subdued the demon, he himself was also ...... because of his injuries"

"Is Yang Daxia still alive?" Jin Jia asked anxiously.

"I don't know...... At least Yang Daxia and Mu Yunmen have not appeared on the rivers and lakes for fifteen years. Sun Hou sighed heavily and said bitterly: "And now that the withered man and demon have escaped from the prison, there will inevitably be another bloody storm on the rivers and lakes......

Hearing this, the five of them were silent for a while, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely depressed, and suddenly, a crisp voice suddenly sounded, saying: "What are you doing with all your heads down? Aren't the withered men and demons still not in trouble? Instead of sighing here, let's think of a way together and quickly catch him back!"

Everyone raised their heads and saw a handsome young man standing behind Xing Dao, wearing a green shirt and short coat and thin-soled boots, and his immature appearance gave people a feeling of unreliability.

"What do you little hairy boy know? Don't talk about it! How can things be as simple as you think?" Zhang Tong was worried about the dry face man and demon getting out of trouble, and immediately scolded.

Xing Dao was about to speak, but was stopped by the young man's eyes, he clasped his fists with both hands, made a gesture towards the four people in the room, and said loudly: "In the lower Dali Temple, the deputy general catcher, Lin Yiqi, I have seen you!"
