Autumn Leaf Castle, when the gate of the north of the castle is about to close.

In the distance, the dust was flying, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded like a fine drum, and the silhouette of a group of fourteen people was elongated by the twilight, which looked a little hasty in the autumn wind.

The city gate guards had already prepared to close the city gate, but when they saw people coming, their hearts couldn't help but be angry. But when he saw the person in charge, he hurriedly lowered his head, and the great elder of the Xia family in Red Leaf City didn't know anyone, and no one knew.

So, he didn't even check the identity plate, so he respectfully stepped aside.

Fourteen horses entered the city one after another, and then slowed down the bluestone streets.

At this time, at dusk, the houses in the city are dyed with a desolate dark hue, and the crescent moon has not yet risen, as if to indicate that tomorrow will be cloudy.

The autumn breeze on the corner of the street is full of an unnamed chill.

And because of the night ban, the gates began to slowly close, making a creaking sound, noisy and harsh, as if the thick ropes of the gallows rubbed against the blood-rusted grooves.

Ten minutes later, Red Leaf City was completely closed, and there was no place to enter or leave.

Unless it waits until dawn tomorrow, when that ray of morning light falls, the gate guards will open the gates again and lower the drawbridge.

But this time, they may not be able to wait.

In front of the Xia family, the Great Elder dismounted, walked quickly into the hall of the main building, and casually summoned a disciple of the sect family and said, "Go and invite the other three elders." ”

The sect disciple was stunned: "Second Elder, Third Elder went to Sanming Mountain early in the morning, didn't you go to pick them up?"

"What? nonsense!" the Great Elder said angrily, but a hint of unease flashed in his heart.

So he pointed to the sect disciple on the side and said, "Come over and tell me about the situation." ”

He called several people one after another, and they all described the same thing.

The old man in Huafu suddenly panicked, what had he never seen in the rivers and lakes for such an age?

But this is the first time I have encountered such a situation of collective amnesia!

After all, what explanation could there be other than amnesia?

He held his chin and fell into deep thought, but he tossed and turned, still confused.

At this moment, a sudden "haha" sound came from outside the main building.

It was the voice of the Four Elders.

"Bai Gongzi, come from afar, please come in, please come in!"

The white-faced, beardless, rather elegant middle-aged man in Tsing Yi walked in slowly, and to his left was a tall and sunny young man.

The young man's eyes are subtle but not angry, and the sword at his waist is like a humble gentleman, and there is a unique righteousness on his body that makes people look sideways.

He was clenching his fists and replied lightly, "The fourth elder is polite. ”

After the two of them were seated.

"I don't know how good Grandmaster Tian has been recently, I have long heard that he has a masterful Yunfeng Fog Sea Sword Technique, and when I see your momentum today, Fang is a well-known master and a high apprentice, this is really true, haha. ”

"The four elders praise falsely, and the younger generations dare not be. Bai Cunfeng's face was modest, but his eyes flashed with a sense of youthful ambition.

The fourth elder said with a smile: "Bai Gongzi came from afar, and he was supposed to have a banquet to treat each other, but the head of the family has been ill for the past two days, so he can't come out to pick up guests. If Bai Gongzi has any matters, he may wish to talk to the old man directly. ”

At the same time, he beckoned to the disciple in the distance and said, "Shangxiang tea!"

"Wait, Fourth!" said the Great Elder.

"What's the matter, big brother?" the four elders looked up in amazement and looked at the strange old man in Chinese clothes over there.

The Great Elder showed a hint of doubt in his expression and said, "You said that the head of the family is sick?"

The fourth elder said curiously: "It's the matter of these two days, isn't the eldest brother very clear?"

"Second, third led the team to Sanming Mountain this morning?" the Great Elder asked word by word.

The four elders became more and more strange, "Yes. Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

In the end, the Great Elder is a person with a city government, he suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said slowly: "There are guests here, and the family affairs will be nagged later." In a blink of an eye, he asked with a kind smile on his face, "I don't know why Bai Gongzi came from afar?"

Bai Cunfeng said lightly: "The family teacher asked me to convey a word on my behalf, forty years have passed, and the catastrophe is coming." ”

The face of the tall and sunny young swordsman remains the same, the chaos in the rivers and lakes is the day when their younger generation is at their peak, as for the catastrophe, there is a grandmaster on top, how can it break the sky?

But he was too young to know what that sentence meant.

But the Great Elder knew, so his face was like ashes.

Is that forbidden name going to be bloody again?

He suppressed the fear on his face and said slowly: "Please also inform Sect Master Tian, and say that the Xia family knows." ”

Seeing this, Bai Cunfeng frowned slightly, and a trace of disdain flashed between his eyebrows, but he still hugged his fists and said: "Master said, this time several grandmasters have discussed with each other, and they have already taken countermeasures, and please don't worry about the elders." ”

With that, he took out a secret letter from his arms, raised his hand, and the sect disciple on the side respectfully accepted it, and then handed it to the Great Elder.

The Great Elder nodded, then opened the envelope and took out a thin sheet of paper, there was only one sentence on the paper: On the tenth day of the lunar month, Xiangyang City gathers together to conspire for great things!

There will be a full ten grandmasters, and the number of grandmasters gathered in Xiangyang City will inevitably be more than that.

The 40-year Jianghu Conference is unprecedented.

A few people exchanged pleasantries, and then asked Bai Cunfeng to go back to the wing room to rest first.

When the door was pushed open, the fog in the air was inexplicably heavier, but there was a lot of fog near the water, which was a common thing, so several people didn't pay attention to it.

When there are only two people left in the lobby of the main building.

A hurried conversation came.

"Big brother, what the hell is going on, why are you pretending to have amnesia?"

"Pretend?"

"Isn't it? How can anyone in this world have collective amnesia?"

"Hey, fourth, I'm afraid I really met it this time. If it were me, I would never believe that there is such a ridiculous thing in the world, but I really don't remember the events of these days. You know what Xia Li of the Red Dyeing Pavilion said, right?"

"Big brother!!This was already three days ago!Didn't we already arrange everything?But the second and third didn't come back, Tang Di didn't come back, only Na Xia Ren came back!"

Then the four elders hurriedly explained the events of the past few days to the Great Elder, and the latter's eyes became more and more solemn.

The two looked at each other, and there was an eerie silence in the air.

After a long time, the Great Elder slowly spoke, "You mean this Xia Ren... Questions?"

A hint of fierceness flashed on the fourth elder's elegant face, "Even if there is no problem, it will definitely not be able to get out of it!"

"Then, it's better to cut through the mess quickly!"

"But, will the Tang Sect know?"

"The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, and the fog is up at dusk. God knows this, you know and I know, that is, he died on Sanming Mountain, who can know?" the Great Elder said coldly, "Where is he now?"

The four elders clapped their hands, and suddenly a sect disciple walked over. The four elders gave a few orders, and the sect disciple said yes again and again, and then quickly strode out of the door.

"Big brother, don't be impatient, drink two sips of tea and calm down first. The eyes of the four elders were a little cold, "What's more, Na Xia Ci is still trapped on Shixin Island at this time, and the two of them have a deep relationship. ”

"But they're not relatives after all..."As soon as the Great Elder opened his mouth to say something, a strange feeling suddenly hit his heart.

What he originally thought was that since Xia Ren was Tang Jing's son, then Xia Ci could not be his own brother.

Then he suddenly thought again, if Xia Ci is not his own brother, then is it also born to the head of the family and the maid?

recalled the situation when the tanuki changed the prince that night, it was obviously one for one!

Where did the younger brother come from?

How can there be a younger brother?

This younger brother seems to have suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and then no one noticed the weirdness!

A terrifying emotion permeated his heart, but disappeared in an instant, as if these irrationalities had suddenly been corrected by some strange force, and became taken for granted.

It seems that no matter what the situation is, there is no logic, there is no cause and effect, then Xia Ci is Xia Ren's own brother!

So, the Great Elder said slowly: "Well, they are biological brothers after all, Xia Ren will never sit idly by!"

The four elders also nodded yes.

At this time, the door opened again, and the disciple of the Zhu Fu sect entered the door and respectfully reported: "Two elders, his traces have been discovered. ”

The Great Elder and the Fourth Elder glanced at each other, their eyes full of murderous aura.

"Fourth, you go to Shixin Pavilion, I'll meet this little disciple of the family, hehe. ”

Then, the old man in the fancy costume suddenly got up, lit a fire at will, and walked into the darkness of the mist, and dozens of shadowy swordsman killers had gathered behind him.

The two of them didn't even notice the disharmony in the slightest!
