It is about six or seven miles north of Wuyang Town, and the official road is divided into two and becomes a fork, one of which goes to the east, and the other continues to the north, but this is not important, the important thing is that there is only a dozen zhang next to this fork, and a simple wine shop is opened.

The liquor shop is a good business, specializing in steamed buns and porridge in the morning, serving wine and food for the main meal at noon and evening, and in the leisure time during the day, it is also used as a tea shop to quench the thirst of passers-by.

It can be said that although this small shop seems to be a wine shop, it is actually involved in all aspects of dining, and the daily profit earned is enough to be comparable to any wine shop that is opened on the main street of the town, and it is truly hidden.

It's too early today, the light has just dawned, it's about six or seven o'clock, because this wine shop was built on the side of the official road, at the foot of the mountain, it is naturally the morning light at this moment, but even so, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper have been busy for a long time in the early morning, not only boiling the porridge in the cauldron, but also steaming the first batch of buns and steamed buns in the cage.

As the saying goes, no profit is not early, and the reason why the shop of this liquor store is so industrious and gets up at the beginning of the day is naturally profitable, because when the sky is slightly bright, there are actually people walking on this official road, although the number of people is not large.

A middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat came to the wine shop at this moment, he had a square face, but his face was longer than that of ordinary people, and in general, he was very honest and honest.

The middle-aged man took care of himself at the square table outside the wine shop, chose a place to sit down, and then took off the bamboo hat and said to the shopkeeper who was checking the steamed buns in the steamer and said, "Lao Xiaoer will bring me a porridge, a plate of pickles, and three steamed buns." ”

The shopkeeper of this liquor store was lively, and when he heard the voice, he immediately smiled at the middle-aged man and replied, "Okay, guest officer, wait a minute." ”

It didn't take a moment for the shopkeeper to bring three steamed buns first, and the middle-aged man smiled and nodded his thanks, and just after he finished eating a steamed bun, the shopkeeper also sent the porridge and side dishes he wanted to the table, and then said: "Guest officer, you use it slowly!"

When the middle-aged man saw that the other party brought the food, he couldn't help but show a very nostalgic feeling on his face, smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiaoer." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he waved his hand and said that he didn't have to be polite, it was all right, and then he continued to immerse himself in busyness.

In the past month and almost two months, the middle-aged man has been going all the way south, which can be described as dusty, and most of the time, he still has to pick a place where no one is inhabited, and now he can sit down and have a breakfast, which is naturally a very nostalgic thing for him, even if he no longer needs to eat these grains to fill his stomach, but he still misses the taste of the moment.

But before he had finished his breakfast, he clearly felt that there was a sudden commotion from there, about two miles away, from there.

After the middle-aged man noticed this movement, he couldn't help frowning, he was going to drink the rest of the porridge in the bowl in one go, but after only a moment's pause, he let go of the worries in his heart again, and muttered to himself: "It's finally not in vain." ”

......

Du Feiyun blocked the sand and stones, and saw Xu Yan punch his chest, it was impossible to avoid it, so he could only use the long knife in his hand in front of him, trying to block the opponent's fist with a wide and strong blade.

Xu Yan looked indifferent when he saw this, but his outstretched fist did not change the slightest trajectory, but fulfilled the other party's wish and slammed a punch on the blade.

There was a bang!

After Du Feiyun heard this incredible sound, he felt that on the opponent's punch, almost four or five thousand catties of huge force were brought up, and smashed on the knife in his hand.

Subsequently, without any accidents, although he used the long knife in his hand to successfully remove at least half of the opponent's huge force, the remaining residual power was still shocked to his hands and his hands exploded, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and the worst thing was that because he couldn't help the pain, the long knife he had to let go was like a giant tree sweeping over, and it smashed on his chest, sliding it backwards for nearly five or six zhang before it could stop.

"How can this son's combat power be so vigorous. ”

After Du Feiyun stopped his body, he couldn't help but let out a shock in his heart, but immediately after, he saw that Xu Yan after the punch didn't give him any respite at all, so he quickly approached and punched him again.

Du Feiyun saw that the other party turned defense into merit in a moment, forcing himself to only defend passively, and he hated it in his heart, at this moment, his first reaction was no longer to kill Xu Yan, but to regret why he rashly took over the business of interception.

Bang!

There was another ear-popping sound.

With this punch, Du Feiyun held back the pain, and with his bloodied right hand, he also held his hand into a fist and slammed it into the opponent's fist, but after this sound, he clearly felt that there was a crisp sound of fracture on his right arm.

"Ahh

Du Feiyun, who had already reached the middle stage of the six-rank realm, finally couldn't help but let out a miserable scream after his hand bones were shattered, however, this matter was not over, because Xu Yan, who was opposite him, blasted a third punch at him after destroying one of his arms with one punch.

Xu Yan's three punches relied on the most primitive and pure brute force that erupted on himself, and he did not borrow even a trace of martial arts true qi, because he really wanted to see if he could defeat a martial cultivator who was almost half a realm higher than himself if he didn't use martial arts true qi.

As it turns out, there is nothing wrong with this, no, more accurately, it's not without problems, but it's an easy victory.

After Du Feiyun lost his right arm, the whole person was equivalent to losing the strength to resist, so Xu Yan's third punch finally smashed firmly on his chest, and then blasted his entire body directly out for dozens of feet.

"Poof!"

After Du Feiyun fell to the ground, the whole person was already dying, and he couldn't help but spew out a large mouthful of blood, which directly washed off the cyan veil on his face.

Xu Yan approached him step by step, and when he got close to him completely, he found that the other party's appearance was actually like the man who had an affair with Zhong Yun, very handsome.

Xu Yan looked at him coldly, but he didn't want to ask anything more, at this point today, he had nothing to say to these people, because he expected that the other party would never tell him anything.

Du Feiyun frequently spat blood from his mouth, and found that it was mixed with a lot of scraps of internal organs, he knew that even if he was lucky not to die this time, it would be impossible for his cultivation to recover, because the young man in front of him not only shattered the dozens of points opened up in his body, but also shattered the main meridian in his body for the true qi of the martial arts.

"Moving...... Do it, don't even think about what you want to get out of my mouth!"

Hearing the other party say this, Xu Yan did not show the slightest change in emotion on his face, because this result was not beyond his expectations. In this world, not everyone can be bent into a trick like a man surnamed Shi, and even among those who do this, people who are afraid of death like a man surnamed Shi are a very small number of existences.

Now Xu Yan somewhat believes that the man surnamed Shi was forced, otherwise the other party would not betray the Du Feiyun in front of him at all, and he would not dare, but it is a pity, but he will not show mercy to anyone who dares to attack him along the way.

Xu Yan was too lazy to waste his lips and tongue with Du Feiyun, who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, even if the other party put on such a firm position, it would be enough for him. So he leaped over and got into his other's steed, and rode it slowly to the latter's side, glanced condescendingly, and then jerked the reins.

As soon as he lifted the horse, it let out a cry, and it leaped high as if it were standing up, but immediately stepped down again.

Seeing the horse's hooves stepping towards him, Du Feiyun, who had no strength to dodge, was horrified, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, but just after an instant, he went to Huangquan with the look of horror on his face.

With the help of the horse's hooves, Du Feiyun was successfully trampled to death, Xu Yan turned the horse's head, and then rode it towards the north to continue walking.

With the horse under his crotch, Xu Yan's speed on the road increased significantly, even if he didn't urge it to run wildly, but even if he trotted, it was much faster than he walked on his own, and just about two miles after the battlefield before he left, he came to this wine shop that was selling breakfast.

Xu Yan got up very early, so he didn't dine when he left the inn, and now he saw a store selling steamed buns, so he directly got off the horse and ordered a porridge to eat, two steamed buns to eat, but the pickles with porridge were eaten by cardinals to give him secret salted duck eggs.

About half an hour later, Xu Yan quickly finished his breakfast, and then took out the copper plate from his arms to settle the bill, but before he got on the horse and left, he found that on a square table behind him, there was a simple-looking man looking at him with a smile.

Xu Yan saw him smiling at him, he didn't know why, but he wasn't ready to talk, he had just killed someone not far away, and it was undoubtedly the best choice to leave this place as soon as possible, so in the end, he just nodded to the middle-aged man, and then left the wine shop, and then quickly disappeared from one of the mountain roads at the fork.

The middle-aged man with a square face, seeing that Xu Yan was full of vigilance and vigilance against him, didn't pay much attention to it, just stood up from his seat, and then said to the shopkeeper: "Little Er, settle the bill." ”

After hearing this, the shopkeeper came over with a smile and took away the breakfast money.

After breakfast, the middle-aged man couldn't help but glance at the direction Xu Yan left, with a hint of thoughtfulness in his eyes, but then, he walked in the opposite direction with Xu Yan and walked south. And when he walked to the bottom of no one, he no longer walked at the normal walking speed, but disappeared in a flash, and came to Du Feiyun's corpse in the blink of an eye.

Looking at Du Feiyun, who was trampled to death by the horse's hooves and collapsed in his chest, and was thrown on the side of the road like this, the middle-aged man's face couldn't help but flash a wry smile, he sighed softly, and muttered to himself: "This kid ...... The strength is not bad, but the habit is not very good, how can you litter like this?"

Du Feiyun, who had been completely killed and even his body was already cold, if he could hear the other party describe him as a pile of garbage now, he didn't know if he would come back to life angrily.

......

In the middle of the city of Wangchuan.

Those people in the so-called big family who invested a lot of people in it, but in the end only got the news that the plan failed, they were still able to maintain their composure at first, but as more than three months passed, they still didn't get the news of Xu Yan, and these big people finally began to panic.

"Father, how is this good, it is about to enter November, if the surnamed Xu did not die in the middle of the way, it is estimated that it is not far from the county town now, if we can't kill him before he enters the county town, then we will have no chance to kill him at all." The person who spoke at this moment was a middle-aged man, about forty years old.

The old man sitting in his backyard drinking tea, after hearing his eldest son's words, couldn't help but turn pale, and he was silent for a moment before he said in a cold tone: "Do I need you to remind me of these things?"

The middle-aged man was embarrassed when he heard that the other party reprimanded him as soon as they met, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, after all, the old man in front of him was his father.

The old man saw that the other party looked submissive, and he couldn't get angry, as a man, it was really unreasonable to be without the slightest bit of hardness, but he didn't want to teach his eldest son too much, so he continued: "After so long, there is no news of your second brother?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he shook his head and replied, "I have sent a large number of people to check over there, but I haven't found anything, second brother...... The second brother may have fallen. ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately said angrily: "I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death, if I can't find it, I will add more manpower to continue to investigate, you look at you, what kind of wine bags and rice bags are recruited on weekdays, and they are fed and worn every day, but as a result, they can't even find out one person, oh, there is more than one, they can't even find the person who killed my grandson, let me ask, what is the use of the old man spending so much money every year to support them?"

When the middle-aged man saw that his old father was suddenly furious, he naturally didn't dare to talk back, but just lowered his head and looked trembling.

When the old man saw him like this, he couldn't help but be even more angry, and immediately waved his hand and said, "What are you still doing here, hurry up and send someone to investigate!"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately replied "Yes, father" and left the backyard in embarrassment.

And after the old man waited for his eldest son to completely disappear in the backyard, he finally angrily slammed the valuable celadon teacup in his hand on the ground and smashed it to pieces.

"I didn't expect that in the end, the old man would have to clean you up by himself!"

......

In another mansion in Wangchuan City, a middle-aged man sat in his study with a gloomy face, looking at a letter in his hand.

The letter was a reply, but the content recorded on the reply made his hands tremble, because about half a month ago, he had written a secret letter to the guy who replied, asking him to help kill a young man, but the result was that the other party not only declined the request, but also wrote back to inform him that they would no longer be attached to his family.

So, the middle-aged man shredded the letter paper in his hand fiercely, and said bitterly: "How can this be true, it is simply unreasonable!"

A beautiful woman who was taking a short rest in the courtyard outside the door hurriedly walked into the study after hearing her husband's roar, and said with concern: "Xianggong, what's the matter, why did you suddenly get so angry?"

The middle-aged man's eyes were red at the moment, like a fierce beast, but after hearing his wife's inquiry, he finally restrained his anger as much as possible, and said in a tone that could not hide his sadness: "The Hu family...... The Hu family replied that they were going to leave our family, this is really a tree falling down, the wall is falling and everyone is pushing, I didn't expect my father to die for so many short years, these white-eyed wolves can't wait to show their true colors, and I don't want to think about it, if we didn't give them a little scraps at the beginning, would they be where they are today!"

The beautiful woman didn't listen to the angry words from her husband's mouth, but her face turned pale, and she said in disbelief: "Hu family......? How is this possible, they were completely saved by their father in the first place, and now how can they treat us so ruthlessly!"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he said hatefully: "Who said it wasn't, but they just did it, in my opinion, they must be the same as the previous ones, secretly accepting the benefits given by other families, this is obviously a plan of those thieves, wanting to kick us out of the position of the four families in Wangchuan City!"

When the beautiful woman heard this, she couldn't help but look sad, at this moment, like her husband, she felt a sense of powerlessness that she had never felt before.

The middle-aged man saw that his wife was also full of despair, so he continued to say hatefully: "It's all the one surnamed Xu, if he hadn't destroyed the cultivation foundation of mortal and bitter children at that time, my Li family would have had great hope of regaining its strength, so why did it end up like this!"

The beautiful woman didn't know how to answer, but in those beautiful eyes, there were crystal jade beads that couldn't help but roll down.

"Could it be that our Li family is really going to be finished?"

This is a question that even they can't answer, but at the moment it is spreading and fermenting in their hearts.

......

Early the next morning.

At the edge of the sky, a touch of fish belly white had just risen, and a man rode a horse alone and left the bustling city of Wangchuan.

All the way to the southeast.
