A basin of red-stained blood was poured on the bluestone road, leaving a wet mark. Blood scrambled along the cracks in the stone path, as if they wanted to desperately escape, escape from the blazing sun in the sky, escape from the erosion of the earth.

Slowly, the blood flowed down the gap in the road to a bluestone lion, but at this time, it could no longer flow, sinking into the dirt, and then quickly evaporated by the scorching sun, and finally the blood mixed with a slight smell of blood evaporated and rushed to the sky.

As the steam of blood water was evaporated into the sky, a bluestone lion more than three feet high appeared in front of the courtyard door, and this stone lion was carved by someone I don't know who carved it, it looked vivid, mighty and domineering. Two rows of protruding fangs in a huge mouth, revealing its fierce image, are quite deterrent, and it is obviously used by this portal as a town house spirit beast to ward off disasters and evil spirits.

On the other side of the bluestone lion, there is an identical lion, they have been looking at each other for an unknown amount of time, and they have suffered from wind and frost. Behind the two bluestone lions stands a plaque made of fine carving, on which are engraved with four big cyan characters of dragons flying and phoenix dancing, which reads "Wumu Dart Bureau".

Underneath the plaque is a red-painted, more than a foot-high wooden door, with two golden knockers bolted to it, and the knockers are polished. At this time, the door of the Wumu Dart Bureau was opened and closed by a servant dressed in simple clothes, but the servant's eyebrows were very worried.

The servants were busy back and forth in the courtyard, but Ge Tianyou and Xiaohua stood in the courtyard and looked around at a loss.

"Sister Xiaohua, Grandpa Hong and Brother Pojun will definitely be fine, don't worry!" Ge Tianyou watched a servant hurrying past them with a basin of blood in his hand, and grinned.

"Well, I know, usually many dart masters in the dart game will suffer some injuries!" Xiaohua had some tears in her eyes, and nodded as she listened to Ge Tianyou comfort herself.

Hearing this, Ge Tianyou did not reply. He had seen too many injuries in martial arts, and although he was still a little resistant to seeing blood, he was not as scared as other children. The reason why he comforted Xiaohua beside him was that after all, those who were injured were Xiaohua's relatives. Ge Tianyou doesn't want Xiaohua to lose her relatives like himself, in that case, there will be another orphan in the world who has lost her relatives and suffered like himself.

After a while, I saw two dart masters hurriedly push the door and come in from outside the courtyard, and after seeing the two children standing in the courtyard, the two entered the lobby.

In the lobby, several dart masters, Hong Lao, Li Pojun and others were bandaging in it, while the silver operator and the man in black were sitting on the chairs under the hall, and they didn't seem to be injured.

When Hong Lao saw the two dart masters coming in, he asked with a slight smile in his eyebrows, "Have you handed over the things to the Hongchen Inn?"

One of the dart masters replied respectfully: "It has been delivered, but it is just ......!"

The dart master stopped talking, looked down at the dart master beside him, and the two looked at each other, but neither of them could continue.

Hong Lao frowned and said, "It's just what?"

Another dart master didn't dare to slack off, and said with a lower body: "It's just that the Hongchen Inn gave fifty taels less than the bail, saying that we delayed the time and didn't hand over on time!"

"Smack!" Before the dart master finished speaking, Li Pojun on the side stopped doing it, only to see him shoot the case, and said angrily: "What does his grandmother's Hongchen Inn want, it took half a day to deduct so much." After speaking, he gritted his teeth and covered his wounds, and said to Hong Lao: "Hong Lao, I'll reason with them, damn, I don't take our dart game seriously." ”

I only heard the previous dart master say again: "Elder Hong, I'm afraid things are not as simple as imagined." At that time, after we handed over the goods, Li Dart Master and I also reasoned with that fat man, but there was a contract between us, so the theory was useless. But just as we were about to leave, the fat man actually asked us a word. ”

Hong Lao frowned again and said, "What did you ask?"

The dart master said, "He asked me to ask Elder Hong if your injuries are serious?"

"What?" Before Li Pojun could sit down, when he heard this, he pointed to the dart master and asked sharply, "How did they learn that Hong Lao was injured?"

At this time, Wu Zhen, the silver operator who had been sitting in the hall, sneered: "Hehe, do you still need to ask, presumably the Hongchen Inn has long known that Fang Zijing will find trouble with Hong Lao." ”

The man in black also shook his head with a smile on the side, and then answered: "The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and there is a lone eagle behind the yellow farrow, and there is a fierce tiger hidden behind this lone eagle, how big a worm is Lupin!"

When everyone heard this, they naturally understood the meaning of the man in black's words. Hong Lao was almost bandaged at this time, and turned his head to Wu Zhen and the man in black and said, "Hehe, if the snake wants to swallow an elephant, it depends on how big his appetite is, doesn't it?"

Seeing this, the two hurriedly returned the salute. Wu Zhen held Hong Lao's arm and said: "Hey, why should Hong Lao be like this, all the dart games in this Qilu land still have to rely on you to preside, if something happens to you, then how will Qilu's dart game continue in the future." Speaking of which, I also have a reluctant request, and I don't know if Elder Hong can agree to it?"

When Hong Lao heard this, he didn't hesitate, what is more important in this world than saving his life, he waved his hand and said, "Brother Wu, it's okay to say it." ”

Wu Zhen glanced at the black-clothed man beside him, made a look, and continued: "That's the case, this Brother Shanyan is one of my junior disciples, and there are two things to do when he goes down the mountain this time, and I hope to be able to help with the help of Hong Lao's strength." ”

When Hong Lao heard this, he was puzzled in his heart, and thought, "Two things, and you still need to rely on me?"

I only heard Wu Zhen continue: "That's ...... to say!"

It turned out that this Wu Zhen and Shan Yan were from the same sect called "Tang Sect". It was only because Wu Zhen later resigned from the sect and chose the road of doing business, so he went to the Qilu realm and started a dart shop.

Five years ago, the Tang Sect's Treasure 'Thousand Machines Soul Luo Crossbow' and the Tang Sect's Secret Technique Tang Sect 'Soul Chasing Dart' martial arts were accidentally lost. Under the anger of the court, he sent the three masters of the Tang Sect down the mountain to find his whereabouts. Among them, 'Aurora Soul Chasing Shadowless Step Single Words' is one of them.

Shan Yan searched for two years and still had no whereabouts, and finally came to Wu Zhen, wanting to help him find it through the means of his senior brother, but three years passed in a flash, and the sect treasure was still nowhere to be found, and there was no trace.

Just a few days ago, Shan Yan didn't know where to get the news, I heard that there are a batch of important materials to be transported from south to north in Hongchen Inn, including a cargo with a name starting with "Thousand Machines".

Who knew that the dart board that was transported was actually in charge of the famous Wumu Dart Bureau. Shan Yan originally wanted to go it alone, no matter who it was, he also wanted to take back the sect's treasure, but in the end, Wu Zhen was convinced.

So the two discussed: It's better not to act rashly. Along the way, Shan Yan paid attention to the movements of the Wumu Dart Bureau all the time, for fear that Zhibao would have an accident halfway.

On the night when Ge Tianyou met the dart bureau and stopped to beg for water. Shan Yan overheard two people with mysterious whereabouts talking in the forest, and the words they talked about were exactly how to rob the Wumu Dart Bureau.

After that, it was Fang Zijing who led people to pretend to rob, but in fact he wanted to murder the Wumu Dart Bureau.
