A disciple of the "Jingci Lin'an" hurriedly took out a fireworks, hurriedly took the fire fold, and lit the fire, but before it could be ignited, he only heard a loud explosion, and a firework had already rushed into the sky, rising from the village wall on the east side!

At this time, the fireworks signal in the hands of the disciples of the "Jingci Lin Nunnery" flew out, turning into a third flame that exploded into the air.

Master Huang Lian looked suspicious and said, "What's going on? There are fireworks signals everywhere!"

Hua Bushi was also quite puzzled, but he regained his composure in a moment, and said: "It is probably a suspicious tactic used by the people in the underworld, so it seems that the reinforcements will not come for a while, let's defend this wall first." ”

Master Huang Lian said: "Yes, these people in the underworld are really cunning!"

She shouted loudly: "Everyone be careful, wait until the other party rushes under the wall, cast a hidden weapon to block, don't let them climb the wall!"

It was not practical for Master Huang Lian to order, and the disciples had already held various hidden weapons such as steel darts and flying knives in their hands, and they just waited for the underworld people to cross the river, and then attacked together. But I saw Leng Lianshan on the other side of the ditch standing on the ground with a horizontal knife, but he didn't rush over immediately, which made everyone's hearts slightly wider.

This moat that is less than ten zhang wide, even if it can block an underworld minion, it has no blocking effect in front of a master like Leng Badao, and it can easily fly through, and it is not difficult for him to jump up the two-zhang high Zhuang wall.

If this number one master in the underworld of the Guangdong realm rushes over, the people on the Zhuang wall may not be able to deal with it.

Compared with the stern waiting of the disciples of the "Jingci Lin'an", Hua Bushi did not give orders to the people of the "Evil Dog Gate", but stared at the group of underworld knights who were wading through the river in the moat, but the puzzled look on his face was even worse.

Seeing that the underworld knights who rushed to the front row had crossed the moat, they were about to rush to a few feet below the wall and enter the range of the hidden weapon, but suddenly there was a sound of "woo" horns from a distance.

Although the sound of this horn is low, it is very melodious, and it can be heard clearly even in the noisy battlefield where people shout and horses are neighing. As soon as the horn sounded, a group of underworld knights who had rushed to the bottom of the village wall each reined in their horses, turned around and retreated.

But I saw that Leng Lianshan, who was standing with a knife on the other side of the ditch, also slapped his mount, and quickly flashed into the crowd of underworld people and horses, and disappeared in a blink of an eye!

Isn't this sound of the horn an order for the underworld to retreat?

According to the people guarding the village wall, looking at the underworld people who retreated one after another, they all looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. Just now, these strongmen were still dancing their teeth and claws, and they rushed straight at them with great momentum, and they didn't expect to leave without a fight after a while, and retreat so quickly, it was really unpredictable.

Master Huang Lian was also very confused, and said, "Why did these people retreat so easily, is there any other trick?"

At this time, most of the underworld centaurs had already retreated outside the moat, and as soon as they crossed the ditch, these people did not hesitate to ride their horses away, without the slightest intention of staying. Before the two sides had time to fight just now, the Zhongni of the "Jingci Lin'an" did not even launch a single hidden weapon, and at this time, the other party retreated at full speed, even if it was too late to pursue it.

The more than 100 knights outside the courtyard wall on the south side had walked clean in a few moments, leaving nothing but the water stains and horseshoe marks under the wall. And there was no sound of fighting in the direction of the other village walls, could it be that the four or five hundred underworld knights surrounding the village had all retreated like this?

Master Huang Lian was even more puzzled, and immediately ordered two disciples to go to the east and west sides of the village wall to investigate, but she turned her face and saw Hua Bushi standing on the ground, with a leisurely appearance on his face that was neither shocked nor angry.

"Why did the people in the underworld retreat without a fight, does Young Master Hua have a high opinion?" Master Huang Lian finally couldn't help but ask.

Hua Bushi said: "Gao Jian didn't dare. In Xiao Ke's opinion, since they can't capture Nanquan Zhuangzhuang, it is reasonable to retreat. ”

Master Huang Lian said: "There are more of these underworld people than us, and Leng Lianshan is even the top master, why can't you attack this when you see it?"

Hua Bushi said: "Master thinks that those underworld strongmen who rushed under the wall just now are the people and horses of Luodingzhou's 'Moyun Bazhai'?"

Master Huang Lian said, "Isn't it?"

Hua Bushi said: "Although I have never seen what the men and horses of 'Moyun Bazhai' look like, but those underworld knights of Shicai look fierce on the outside, but the equipment of the horses is uneven, and the attack and defense are quite scattered, and they do not look like real elite horses." ”

You must know that the "Moyun Bazhai" in Luoding Prefecture is the strongest underworld cottage in Guangdong, and even the Ming Dynasty can't help them. The governor of Guangdong Province, Yamen, had sent a brigade of officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress several times, but they were all defeated by Leng Lianshan and led the Bazhai people and horses.

Although the number of underworld knights in the suitable village is quite large, now that I think about it, its formation is indeed a little chaotic, the weapons held are varied, and the armor and saddle are not neat, and there is a gap between the underworld elite of the legendary "Moyun Bazhai".

Master Huang Lian immediately felt a sudden in his heart, and said: "If these knights are not the centaurs of the 'Moyun Bazhai', then that Leng Ba Dao is probably not true!"

Hua Bushi said: "What the master said is good, fireworks are lit on the village walls on three sides, I think it is because they sent three people, all of whom pretended to be Leng Lianshan, and appeared outside the walls on three sides at the same time. ”

Everyone knows that Leng Badao's weapon is a giant blade eight feet three inches long and seventy-two pounds, so it is easiest to pretend to be him, as long as you send someone with a giant machete, everyone who sees him will immediately think that he is Leng Lianshan. As for the concealment of appearance, covering one's face with a black cloth is a common practice among people in the underworld, and others can't see any flaws.

Hua Bushi said again: "If Leng Badao leads the elite men and horses of 'Moyun Bazhai' to come in person, they may be able to storm this Nanquan Village, but these fake people and horses are impossible, because they don't dare to fight us seriously at all." ”

Master Huang Lian said: "They are not Leng Lianshan's people, who are they? and since it is impossible to capture this village, why do they want to bluff so much and come to provoke?"

Hua Bushi said: "They attacked and sent people to pretend to be Leng Badao, presumably to attract attention and mobilize our manpower, but what is the purpose of it, but Xiao Ke can't guess it, and the identities of these people are unknown." Master Huang Lian has been in the Guangdong realm for a long time, can't he see a clue?"

Those who can mobilize four or five hundred people, even if they are just some rabble pretending to be elites, not everyone can do it in the Guangdong realm. When Hua Bushi first arrived here, of course, there was no way to guess, and "Jingci Lin'an" was a local sect, and Master Huang Lian, as the head of a faction, of course, knew more about the situation in Guangdong than Hua Bushi, but he might be able to see some clues.

However, Master Huang Lian pondered for a while, but said, "Those knights who appeared just now have never been seen by the poor nuns, so I really can't guess which side they are. ”

I don't know the origin of these horses, why they bluffed and came to attack the village is impossible to guess, even if Hua Bushi has some scheming, he is also confused at this time, and he doesn't know why.

However, it didn't take long for him to know the purpose of the other party's fanfare to perform this big drama of attacking the village.

The disciples sent out by Master Huang Lian to investigate soon returned, and according to their reports, all the people surrounding the village had been withdrawn. As expected, there were "Leng Ba Knife" outside the village wall on the east and west sides, but none of them really fought with each other, and the other party's men and horses all rushed to the front and quickly retreated.

But at this time, a figure flew from the village, and when he came closer, he saw that it was a incense master under Wu Zhengdao of the "South China Sea Sect".

"Master Huang Lian, Young Master Hua, the head of the sect has summoned all the principals to discuss matters in the ancestral hall of the ancient family, please go quickly!" said the incense master.

Master Huang Lian frowned and said, "The enemy has just retreated, and the situation is still unclear, why is Master Wu so anxious to convene a meeting?"

The incense lord said: "The head only ordered his subordinates to notify the two, and the subordinates did not know the specific situation. ”

Master Huang Lian said, "Okay, that's the case, Young Master Hua, let's go over together!"

Master Huang Lian didn't notice anything wrong, but Hua Bushi was very good at observing his face, and he could see a hint of discoloration in the eyes of this incense master.

However, he hesitated slightly, but still called the people of the "Evil Dog Gate", followed Master Huang Lian down the village wall, and walked towards the ancestral hall of the ancient family.

Outside the ancestral hall of the ancient family, there were many disciples of the "Nanhai School" and the "Danxia School", and the atmosphere was very solemn. Hua Bushi followed behind Master Huang Lian and walked into the gate of the ancestral hall, and immediately smelled a bloody breath, and his face changed drastically.

Wu Zhengdao, Yuan Gongyi, and Zhong Bulao were all in the ancestral hall, Cao Duyun and Xue Yuan were also standing on one side, and there were Miaozhen Shitai, Yi Ruoying, and several masters of the "Nanhai" and "Danxia" factions by the door.

Among the group, all the important people were already here, but Master Huang Lian and Hua Bushi were the latest to arrive, and the expressions of everyone in the room were very solemn.

However, Hua Bushi's eyes didn't pay attention to them at all, but looked straight at the large sandalwood table in the middle of the ancestral hall. Mr. Martha was sitting on a chair of eight immortals, and a scar appeared on his left chest, blood flowed out, and it was dripping on the ground along the wooden chair!

Hua Bushi was good at medicine, and when he saw Mr. Martha's face for the first time, he knew that he was dead.
