Gu Shenwei discovered early on that some people were not ordinary viewers, and unlike the slaughtering dogs who focused on human faces, he observed the location.

Many people can keep their faces silent, but the position they stand in will reveal the most true intentions: ordinary people will choose the place with the best view, and people with ulterior motives will randomly block all exits, their eyes sweep around like slaughtering dogs, and rarely watch the competition on the field.

Gu Shenwei retreated, signaling Nie Zeng to come forward and observe, and he guarded the rear.

A quarter of an hour later, the two quietly moved two blocks away.

"Have you found the problem?" Gu Shenwei asked in a low voice, and the people on the street were coming and going, which became their best cover.

Nie Zeng knew that the Dragon King was testing himself, "There are at least twenty people in the courtyard who are not here to see the competition, and there are also five to eight places outside the courtyard where people are hiding. ”

This is similar to what Gu Shenwei observed, "What else?"

Nie Zeng thought for a while, "They...... It doesn't seem to be the same group, and they are very guarded against each other. ”

Gu Shenwei nodded and motioned for the young man to continue.

Nie Zeng's face was slightly red, "That's all, I don't see anything else." ”

"This contest was originally a farce, everyone spread it as a joke, and the people who came to participate in the contest were all ordinary swordsmen, but there were two or three groups of people, and the degree of attention was unexpected. ”

Nie Zeng also began to feel puzzled, "That's right, and those people's martial arts are not weak, it seems that they want to capture Old Man Mu and Tu Dog alive." ”

"You stay at a distance, and don't come near whatever happens inside. ”

"Yes. ”

Nie Zeng preferred to participate in the battle, but he still obeyed the order and did not raise any objections, which was his duty as a guard and killer.

Gu Shenwei returned to the vicinity of the inn alone, abandoning the surrounding rooftops, although it was the best place to observe, but it was also easier for others to spot, he lurked in the dark corner, dressed in black, wearing a mask on his face, only showing his two eyes, even if someone accidentally saw it, they would think it was a stone.

He had a feeling that the whimsical contest between Old Man Mu and Slaughter Dog had touched the sensitivity of a certain force, and because of their intervention, it was likely to attract more forces.

The night will not be peaceful, and for this he needs to wait calmly.

In the courtyard, Old Man Mu's increasingly proficient swordsmanship finally attracted a lot of applause, and there were few swordsmen who dared to participate in the competition, so Old Man Mu simply showed it alone, and some of the audience even publicly begged for apprenticeship.

The competition was coming to an end, and on the roof where Gu Shenwei and Nie Zeng had been hiding, several more figures appeared.

Not only is it a great place to observe, but it's also one of the only ways to escape into the city, and the figures are fighting.

Gu Shenwei seemed to be watching a shadow puppet show illuminated by the moonlight, the four figures were divided into two groups, first hidden, and then appeared in a confrontation, gesturing to ask the other party to retreat, and after the failure, he changed to pull out his weapon and threatened, but he did not fight, but reached a compromise, each holding a piece, a few steps apart, monitoring the competition in the hotel, and at the same time guarding each other.

There were helpers on both sides, scattered around the inn, and the nearest person was no more than a dozen steps away from Gu Shenwei.

Gu Shenwei's position could not observe everyone, but as far as the eye could see, he did not find any trace of the Jinpeng killer.

Biyu City is the core territory of Jinpeng Castle, big and small things can't escape the eyes all over the city, and there are no killers to come to the "party", which is a bit incredible, Gu Shenwei can only understand that the people of Jinpeng Castle are well hidden, and like himself, they have escaped the eyes of others.

Old man Mu's swordsmanship demonstration was enough, no one came on the field, and the four ingots of gold were intact, but he was still unsatisfied, and said loudly: "Fight again tomorrow night, you have all seen the old man's swordsmanship, go back and publicize it well, and tell everyone about the power of 'the world's number one devil', and ...... Double the bounty, attract me a few real masters, people like you who don't even have a clean coat, just watch the excitement. It's not in vain, you can drink for free tomorrow night!"

The shopkeeper smelled the smell of big business and took the lead in applauding, although the swordsmen were insulted, but the words "free drinking" still aroused their interest, and many even asked the old man to fulfill his promise first, claiming that the promotion after drinking was more effective.

There was a lot of noise in the yard, but the crowd slowly dispersed.

The two encirclements tightened, and every spectator who walked out of the hotel was watched and scrutinized by at least two pairs of eyes, but they didn't know it, and they were still happily discussing the free wine tomorrow night.

The purpose of the besiegers seems to be the same as that of the old man and the slaughtering dog, all of their interest is in the audience, and they want to find clues from them.

As the encirclement narrowed, the distance between the two factions inevitably decreased, and the positions overlapped, and Gu Shenwei felt a strong murderous aura.

No one could say exactly how the scuffle began, and Gu Shenwei was no exception, he could only observe very few scenes, and the initial battle was not in this area.

Perhaps it was premeditated, or perhaps the darkness gave birth to excessive vigilance, in short, at the moment when the last group of more than ten swordsmen walked out of the hotel, the sound of weapons colliding sounded in a corner, and soon someone shouted one after another: "Ambush! There is an ambush!"

The two factions immediately took action, and people jumped out everywhere on the roofs, on the streets, and under the trees, startling more than a dozen swordsmen, and running away, and no one escaped from the alley.

"Take the prisoners!" someone shouted.

"Take the prisoners!" shouted another.

The scuffle is still going on, but most people are concentrating on the backyard of the hotel.

The shopkeeper had all experienced fights with his buddies and girls, but he had never seen such a large formation, and there seemed to be hundreds of people in the shadows, and those who reacted quickly immediately went back to the house and got under the bed, and those who acted a little later died under the sword before they understood who the person who was fighting.

Old Man Mu was very excited, swung his sword and cut off a corner of the table, the table and chairs overturned at the same time, and he didn't care if the four ingots of gold fell to the ground, and shouted at the slaughtering dog: "What am I talking about?

The panic of the slaughtering dog was no less than that of the guy in the store, he threw down the bait, disappointed for half a night, but in the end he caught an unimaginable big fish, jumped to the old man Mu in one step, and pulled out the newly bought knife, "They say that they are captive, do they mean the two of us?"

"It's mainly you, a clear-eyed person knows at a glance that I am the bait who shows my head, and you are the mastermind behind the scenes, so you make a decision, kill, let's do it, and afterwards you explain to the dragon king, if you don't kill, let's catch it, and then go deep into the tiger's den after luring the snake out of the hole." ”

More and more people jumped into the courtyard, or caught each other, or fought in four or five, but surrounded the two old men tightly.

Tu Gou felt that it was too difficult, and his face turned red and white, "Old man Mu, it's still you...... Hey, this person is using the Kunlun faction swordsmanship, that person can Taishan faction sword technique, there are really Central Plains people!"

The plan actually took effect, and the slaughtering dog was happy, and said loudly: "Slaughter the dog in the Xiakongtong faction, you listen to me......"

Two knives and a sword attacked at the same time, and Tugou waved his knife to defend himself, and continued urgently: "I am from the Central Plains, I have something to say......

"If you have a knife, you can use it. The old man Mu answered, stabbed with his long sword, took the initiative to face the other two, and took the time to glance at the slaughtering dog, "Fool, what am I talking to you?

While speaking, the two people who were originally fighting all turned to Old Man Mu, attacking fiercely, they were by no means ordinary swordsmen, Old Man Mu concentrated on the enemy, and his mouth was rarely closed.

Tu Gou retreated six or seven moves, and found that the other party was not soft at all, and even the Central Plains people did not have the friendship of fellow villagers, so he shouted in a horizontal heart: "I want to be ruthless." ”

Tu Gou didn't have a chance to "be ruthless", and before the words fell, a loud voice came from the roof of the east wing of the hotel, "The factions in the Central Plains retreat!"

A voice then sounded from the roof opposite, "Tianshan Sect stop!"

Gu Shenwei outside the wall was quite surprised, the Tianshan Sect was a secret organization among the blacksmiths and wandering swordsmen of Biyu City, the opponent of Jinpeng Castle, and the Dragon King had been allied, and his former subordinate Lin Xiaoshan was from the Tianshan Sect.

Gu Shenwei remembered very clearly that the Tianshan Sect did not have a master worth mentioning, but as far as he could see, the two factions were evenly matched, and the Tianshan Sect was able to compete with the Central Plains faction.

The two men who shouted from the rooftop were clearly in a position to do so, and the two sides of the scuffle quickly separated, each retreating to the east and west.

Only two people could not obey the order, and they were entangled by the old man wood.

Old man Mu is fighting, his swordsmanship is very peculiar, east and west, like a beginner disciple who has only been learning swords for a few days, but it is very effective, blocking the retreat of the two opponents, the more he fights, the more he can speak, "Interesting and interesting." ”

Tu Gou persuaded: "Old man Mu don't fight, the Central Plains people are here, and they have something to say." ”

The old man Mu was willing to stop, and said in a fuss: "It's not that I want to fight, you see, it's the two of them who don't stop." ”

The two of them fought with all their might, and if anyone wanted to explain, they were immediately pointed at the key point by the sword in the old man's hand, and they were forced to be speechless, as if they acquiesced in his accusation.

A person jumped on the roof of the east and west at the same time, Tu Gou turned his head and looked, on the west side was a strong man, not tall, but with broad shoulders and thick back, like a tightly tied sandbag, with a single knife hanging under his waist, and on the east side was a forty-year-old middle-aged man in the left middle, dressed in white, even the scabbard was white, and his appearance was clear and elegant, like a noble son in brocade clothes and jade food.

Tugou didn't recognize the strong man, but he had a little impression of the man in white, "You are not Luojiazhuang......"

The man in white smiled slightly, and seemed to have discussed with the strong man opposite, and at the same time rushed into the battle group and pulled away his own people.

Old Man Mu immediately lost his target, and he was furious in his heart, regardless of the level of the opponent's martial arts, he raised his sword and stabbed them, and he stabbed the two of them.

The strong man did not retreat but advanced, nor did he draw his sword, he waved his palm and slapped at the old man Mu, and he already felt that his face was blowing through the wind of four or five feet, and the old man Mu was shocked, and he was forced to retreat, and the long sword changed direction and stabbed the man in white.

The man in white didn't pull out his weapon, raised his right hand, and pinched the tip of the sword with three fingers, "You can stop." ”

Old man Mu was even more surprised, and he continued to exert force in his hand, but he still couldn't move a bit, so he simply let go, "Here you go." Taking three steps back, he was stunned to find that the long sword was still in his hand, and the man in white had lowered his hands and was smiling.

This is the first time, Old Man Mu has something to say but can't say it, and it is also the first time, he suspects that even if he has not lost his skills, he is not the opponent of the person in front of him.

The scuffle stopped, and it was at this time that Gu Shenwei saw a familiar figure - one-armed, narrow-knife, fleeting, the two had chased each other in a ruin for a whole day and night, and Gu Shenwei had an almost intuitive reaction to the wild horse, and immediately found a sign that was different: the wild horse performed the duty of guard, and he was not alone.

There was only one person who could make the wild horse act as a guard, but Gu Shenwei never found a trace of her, and soon, the sound of scuffles sounded in the courtyard again.
