"I have long heard that the two nephews are outstanding young masters in the world. When I met today, I realized that you two are already quite accomplished in swordsmanship. The rumors are indeed true."
When Yu Zhongchao saw that the two of them had withdrawn their weapons and suppressed the urge to attack again, he smiled gently again and said: "The competition between the two nephews just now was really exciting and eye-opening. Cao and Xue, two elders Big brother is really lucky to have outstanding descendants like you."
As the leader of a sect, Yu Zhongchao was able to show no airs in front of the two juniors, which shows that he is indeed a very humble person. However, although the two young men did not continue to fight for Zhong Chao's sake, they still had residual anger in each other's hearts, and each had a cold face and neither of them paid attention to the other.
Yu Zhongchao was so sophisticated that he naturally knew it. He hid his hooks in his loose robe, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "Two good nephews, it seems that what happened today was just a misunderstanding, and we don't have any deep hatred. Enemies, it's enough to compare a few tricks and get to the point. There is really no need to get angry about it. If I sell an old man to you, can the two nephews shake hands and make peace for my sake?"
Cao Xiong said solemnly: "Uncle Yu Shi, you are the master of a sect, and you are also my senior. There is no need to lower your status like this for today's matter. Besides, I have my own sense of what I do. If Mr. Xue is not my opponent, Of course I won't hurt him."
Cao Xiong's words clearly contained provocation.
Yu Zhongchao frowned secretly.
When Xue Yue heard this, his expression suddenly changed. His cold eyes swept across the faces of Yu Zhong Chao and Cao Xiong, and he suddenly snorted coldly and said in a sinister tone: "Cao Xiong, it turns out that you have Master Yu behind your back. You support me, no wonder you are so arrogant. But if you think you can win me, you are totally wrong. If you don’t believe it, we might as well continue to fight a few more tricks, so that Sect Master Yu can be a witness."
Just now, Xue Yue's heart sank when he saw the appearance of Yu Zhongchao and the disciples of Yingou Sect. Although he didn't know why Yu Zhongchao also appeared here, since he was traveling with Cao Xiong, the relationship between them must not be simple. What's more, the Cao family has secretly formed an alliance with the Silver Hook Sect.
This is certainly not a good thing for the Double Flag Sect.
Therefore, Xue Yue was not so friendly towards Zhong Chao's Taishou.
Just as Cao Xiong was about to retort, Yu Zhongchao immediately shook his head and smiled at Xue Yue: "Nephew Xue Xian is worrying too much. The reason why I came here with nephew Cao Xian today is just because we met by chance on the road. The relationship between me and you two My father has been an old friend for many years, so we don’t distinguish each other in my eyes. I hope nephew Xue Xian must understand this and don’t think too much about it..." He paused, then continued with a smile: "Today I It just so happens that if one of the two of you is injured due to a conflict of spirits and I fail to stop it, then I will be a little unjustified when I see your father."
Although his attitude was gentle, the meaning expressed in his words was obvious. His relationship with Cao Xiong was limited to the elders and juniors. As an elder, Yu Zhongchao would not sit idly by and ignore the two people's irrational discussions.
Xue Yue raised his eyebrows, looked at Yu Zhongchao, and asked, changing the subject: "I wonder why Sect Master Yu is here today? Could it be a coincidence?"
He saw that Yu Zhong Chao had expressed his position. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, as a junior, he had to follow the steps given by Yu Zhong Chao. So the tone of speaking became somewhat normal.
Yu Zhongchao did not answer. His expression sank slightly. He looked around at the three parties in the long street and asked slowly: "Then why is nephew Xue Xian here?"
Xue Yue frowned. After calming down, he gradually realized that this was a very important issue.
The three major forces outside the customs came to a little-known place at the same time. Of course, the reason was not just a coincidence.
Seeing that Xue Yue was silent and didn't answer, Yu Zhongchao suddenly asked with a serious face: "Is it because of a letter that nephew Xue Xian came here tonight?"
Xue Yue's expression changed when he heard this. He frowned and asked, "Why does Master Yu know?"
Because it was indeed because he received a letter that he came to Macan despite the dark night and cold wind.
"Because I also received a letter." Yu Zhongchao's tone gradually became serious. He turned to Cao Xiong and said, "We all received the same letter."
When Xue Yue heard this, not only did his face darken, but his heart also sank.
Xue Yue looked at the two of them and said slowly: "Then the content of the letter you received, does it mean that it is related to the life and death of our sect, please come to me as soon as possible?"
The faces of Yu Zhongchao and Cao Xiong darkened at the same time. Yu Zhongchao nodded and said, "Yes, that's indeed the content of the letter I received."
Cao Xiong's expression changed, and he said solemnly: "Mine too."
After he finished speaking, he took out an envelope from his arms.
Seeing this, Yu Zhongchao also took out an envelope.
Xue Yue frowned and took out an envelope.
The three of them looked at the envelopes in each other's hands and fell into silence.
Because the three people's envelopes were made of the same paper and the recipient's handwriting on the envelopes was also the same, they were obviously written by the same person.
This is indeed an unusual "happen" thing.
After a long time, Xue Yue turned his eyes to Cao Xiong and asked coldly: "So the reason why Young Master Cao provoked me is because of that letter, right?"
Cao Xiong was unconvinced because he saw that the street was filled with flags marking the Double Flag Gate. He said in a deep voice: "Something is strange, and I can't help but be a little cautious."
"So, do you think that the letter was written by my Shuangqi Sect?" Xue Yue's face was gloomy.
"I did have such thoughts when I saw your flag." Cao Xiong's tone remained unchanged, but he said firmly: "But now it seems that the person who wrote the letter is not your Shuangqi Sect."
Xue Yue's face was still heavy. Of course, Xin could not come from Shuangqimen.
"It seems that the letters we received are all from the same person." Yu Zhongchao frowned and said: "This is a very strange thing, so I was thinking all the way, who sent this Letter."
Although the distance was a bit far, their conversation was heard word for word in the dark silence. Then his breathing suddenly rose and fell slightly, and he thought of something.
Combined with what he encountered today, Silence naturally thought of the Demon Cult.
He didn't need to turn his head deliberately to feel that Bai Wuguan's breathing beside him was still steady.
Then, Silent's heart sank slightly. But he continued to observe the situation outside calmly.
Yu Zhongchao looked at the two solemn-looking young men beside him and said, "This place, Daomakan, is not a place worthy of attention. It does not belong to any political power, but that letter asked us to come here. , it seems there must be something hidden in it that we don’t know about.”
When Xue Yue heard this, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind, and then his face suddenly turned pale.
His handsome face suddenly couldn't help but twitch.
Yu Zhongchao observed his words and took in Xue Yue's expression. Then he immediately asked: "Nephew Xue Xian, you were the first to arrive. Have you noticed anything unusual here?"
Xue Yue's breathing was a little abnormal, and he said slowly: "Don't you notice that we are so active here, but we haven't seen anyone living here?"
When Yu Zhongchao and Cao Xiong heard this, they immediately reacted. They both glanced at the houses on both sides of the street, only to find that those houses were completely silent without any lights.
The expressions of the two people immediately changed.
Cao Xiong started fighting with Xue Yue as soon as he showed up, so he didn't have time to take this into consideration.
Yu Zhongchao, however, had been thinking about the letter and watching the discussion between the two in the dark, and he also did not pay attention to this issue.
But this is a very important question.
Cao Xiong's eyes turned to Xue Yue's face strangely and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Xue Yue hated Cao Xiong's gaze and said in a cold tone: "I just arrived before you arrived, so I don't know what happened here."
Cao Xiong frowned and snorted in his nostrils.
Yu Zhongchao asked in a deep voice: "Although this place is not an important thoroughfare, there are still many people living here. Why are every house closed now, without even a light?"
Xue Yue pondered, and then slowly said something that shocked everyone: "Everyone here should be dead..."
Yu Zhongchao was shocked and said urgently: "What did you say?"
Cao Xiong was also very surprised, and then his eyes quickly scanned the houses on both sides again, and finally landed on Xue Yue's face, and asked in a cold voice: "How do you know they are all dead?"
Xue Yue snorted coldly and said: "As soon as I got here, I realized that something was wrong, so I asked people to start checking. When I first discovered the dead people, you guys came." Then his tone suddenly changed. After a pause, he also looked at Cao Xiong with a strange look, and then said: "Do you think this is too much of a coincidence?"
Cao Xiong was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted. An angry look flashed across his face, and he loudly said, "Xue Yue, what do you mean by this?"
Xue Yue said calmly: "I don't mean anything. If you think what I said means what you think it means, then that's what I meant."
Cao Xiong was furious. He pointed his halberd at Xue Yue and said sternly: "Boy, you'd better control your mouth and don't spit on others here!"
This bastard with weird swordsmanship actually suspected that what happened here was related to his Cao family!
Xue Yue did not refute and snorted coldly.
Yu Zhongchao's heart became heavier and he said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to quarrel. Our three families all received the same letter at the same time, asking us to come here, but something like this happened here. It seems The article in between is not simple. The important thing now is to figure out the situation quickly..."
He paused, then immediately ordered his disciples, saying in a deep voice: "Go and check immediately to see if you can find anyone else alive."
Upon receiving the order from the leader, the disciples of the Silver Hook Sect immediately dismounted their horses, held torches and began to search the houses one by one.
Cao Xiong pondered for a moment, then immediately turned to his followers and said, "Why are you still standing there?"
The Cao family's followers also immediately dismounted and began to follow the disciples of the Silver Hook Sect to join the inspection.
Seeing this, Xue Yue was not willing to lag behind. He said in a deep voice to the Shuangqimen gang: "There are still many places here that have not been explored. You should go and help."
The Shuangqimen gang responded in unison, and several people joined the search team.
Although they had already checked some houses at first, Xue Yue not only wanted them to help, but also wanted to monitor the other two teams.
Although all three of them received a strange letter, Xue Yue did not believe Cao Xiong and Yu Zhongchao.
The world is dangerous and unpredictable. Although Xue Yue is young, he has understood this truth very early.
On Daomakan Street, where the cold wind was howling, many torches appeared in the dark houses.
Several Cao family servants broke into the room where Silence and Bai Wugou were hiding, only to find that there was no one inside.
At this time, Silence and Bai Wugu were already on the roof of this room.
The house was a two-story building, and the two of them were crouching in the shadows under the eaves of the second floor.
Bai Wugou's lightness kung fu was not very good, but Silence's lightness kung fu was very good. So with Shen Mo's help, Bai Wugou and he moved silently from the window at the back of the room. With Shen Mo's arm gently held, the two of them climbed onto the roof and hid silently.
Bai Wugou wanted to praise Shen Mo's skills, but when he saw Shen Shen, he immediately shut up.
He squatted next to Shen Mo, only two feet away, but if he hadn't opened his eyes, Bai Wugou would not have felt that there was another person beside him.
Because he was squatting there in silence, no sound came out from his whole body. He seemed to have merged with the dark shadow, and even his breathing seemed to have stopped.
He no longer seemed like a living person, but more like a lifeless sculpture.
And this phenomenon of absolute silence formed a small space without any life, and Bai Wuzhen was also wrapped in it.
No one knew that at this moment, Bai Wuguo's heart sank, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his vest.
What kind of advanced martial arts training does the young man next to him, who is not yet thirty years old, possess?
Just as the three parties began to search the houses on both sides of the long street, there was suddenly another rapid sound of horse hooves coming from the direction they came from.
The faces of Yu Zhongchao, Cao Xiong and Xue Yue in the long street suddenly changed.
At this time, someone actually came to knock down Macan.
Who is coming?
The three of them had the same question in their minds at the same time, and they all turned their attention to the end of the long street.
The sound of horse hooves soon reached the streets. The three people's breathing was rapid at the same time, and their faces were equally gloomy.
In the eyes of the three people with hidden questions and nervousness, a horse team suddenly appeared at the end of the long street.
The burning torch formed a light beam that was not too short, and it seemed that there were many people coming.
Although none of them spoke, the three people on the street were all on guard.
The sound of horse hooves came quickly, and some of the three subordinates who were searching closer to the three people immediately gave up the search, and each came to their master's side holding a torch.
The atmosphere was solemn and solemn for a moment, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the group of people at the end of the long street.
But in the blink of an eye, the team of people and horses roared in like a strong wind. In the light of the fire, silhouettes of people rising and falling with the backs of the horses were reflected.
"Xu..."
As Shen Xiong's voice sounded, the horse team stopped a few feet away from the crowd across the street.
The fire was blazing, illuminating a large, dark mass of people and horses at the end of the long street.
Yu Zhongchao and the other three people had sharp eyesight and could already see that this cavalry team had a large number of people, estimated to be around fifty people.
When the cavalry stopped, they saw a man and a horse leaving the team and stepping forward, shouting loudly to the people in the street in Shen Xiong's voice: "Which friend is in front of you?"
When the voice came, Yu Zhongchao was stunned for a moment, only to think that the voice was somewhat familiar.
Then the expression on his face changed, and he couldn't help but step forward and said loudly: "I am Yu Zhongchao of Yingou Gate. May I ask if the person who comes here is the owner of the farm?"
The words were heard far away, and the man on the horse made an unexpected "Oh" sound, and then he rode forward and said, "I am Tian Wangye, is this the leader in front of me?"
When Cao Xiong and Xue Yue heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw deep doubts in each other's eyes.
There are many people with the surname Tian in the world, but there is only one named Tian Wangye, and that is the owner of the "Fufeng Villa" whose power is outside the customs and only under the Sunset Racecourse.
The owner of "Fufeng Villa" is Tian Wangye, but why does he appear here?
They saw the man approaching quickly on horseback, and Yu Zhongchao stepped forward to greet him. When both of them saw the other's appearance clearly, their expressions changed.
"Sure enough, it's Master Yu." The man on the horse turned over and dismounted. With a strong body, he cupped his fist at Zhong Chao and frowned: "Why is Master Yu here?"
Yu Zhongchao looked at the person in front of him, frowned and asked, "Master of the farm, why are you here?"
Both of them saw the confused look on the other's face.
The person who came was indeed the owner of Fufeng Villa, Tian Wangye.
Tian Wangye is tall. He wears a mink hat and a gray fur robe. Although he is over fifty and has deep wrinkles on his forehead, his face is still sharp and angular. Connoting majesty, he wore a green gemstone ring on each hand, making him look less like a man from the world and more like a rich man who was in high spirits and well maintained.
But it is such an old man who looks like a rich man, but he is well-known in the martial arts world outside Guan Guan for his superb internal martial arts "Thunder in the Palm", making Fufeng Villa a respected presence by countless people in the world outside Guan Guan.
Tian Wangye didn't answer. His gleaming eyes turned behind Yu Zhongchao and saw the two young people.
"What's going on today? I met so many acquaintances here." Tian Wangye said as he walked towards Cao Xiong and Xue Yue.
The two young men immediately took a step forward, each clasped their fists, and said in a respectful tone: "I have met the farm owner."
Tian Wangye's fame and prestige in the world outside Guan is almost as good as Yan Shouyang's, and the two of them are also close old friends. Therefore, even Xue Yue, who had a somewhat perverse personality, had a much more respectful attitude when he met Tian Wangye than when he met Yu Zhong Chao.
Tian Wangye was also very familiar with the two of them. He frowned slightly and asked, "Two great nephews, why are you here?"
Both young people looked confused and confused, and they didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Tian Wangye's brows showed a look of confusion. He turned to Zhong Chao and said: "Master Yu, although it is a coincidence, I don't believe that our meeting here is just a coincidence."
"Of course it's not a coincidence." Yu Zhongchao sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "May I ask the farm owner, did you come here because of a letter?"
Tian Wangye's expression suddenly changed, he frowned and said, "Why does Master Yu know?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed and they all fell silent.
Tian Wangye looked at the expressions of several people. Although he was old, his mind was still flexible. Seeing this, I felt a move in my heart and asked, "Did you also receive the letter?"
When he saw the three people nodding silently, he immediately showed a look of surprise, and his heart sank at the same time.
Tian Wangye's eyes slowly swept across the faces of the three people, and then he took out a letter from his sleeve.
Yu Zhongchao, Cao Xiong and Xue Yue also took out the letter at the same time.
The four people gathered the letters together, and then their faces froze at the same time.
These four letters are exactly the same, both in terms of paper and handwriting.
The four of them looked at each other and were silent for a moment.
After a long time, Tian Wangye slowly took back the letter and said slowly: "No need to read it, the contents of these four letters should be the same, right?"
"It's a matter of life and death for our sect, so please come to Fumakan as soon as possible."
Yu Zhongchao said the contents of the letter in a serious tone.
The content is very brief, but the meaning contained is extremely profound.
Tian Wangye asked in a deep voice: "Do you know who the person who sent the letter is?"
Xue Yue shook his head and said: "This letter from this junior was sent to the Shuangqimen main hall by a homeless man nearby. He said that someone gave him a tael of silver and asked him to deliver the letter to Shuangqimen. But he didn't I don’t know who the person who asked him to deliver the letter was.”
"It's really weird." Yu Zhongchao couldn't help frowning: "The situation of my letter is similar. I don't even know who wrote it."
Cao Xiong didn't speak, but from his expression we could guess that the letter he received was in the same situation.
Tian Wangye looked at the letter in his hand and thought for a long time, then suddenly said in a deep voice: "It seems that the person who sent this letter is targeting our four families."
When Yu Zhongchao heard this, his expression changed again, and he hurriedly asked: "Does the farm owner have a clue?"
Cao Xiong and Xue Yue couldn't help but look at Tian Wangye at the same time.
Tian Wangye said slowly: "When I received the letter, I thought someone was joking with me. But then I thought about it carefully. Unless the person was a madman or a fool, who would make such a joke with me? "
What he said made sense. With Fufeng Villa's reputation and status in the world, who would make such a joke with Tian Wangye?
Tian Wangye's eyes suddenly changed and he asked in a deep voice, "Have you noticed anything wrong here?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard an exclamation from someone not far away.
Then the sound of chaotic footsteps came. Tian Wangye followed the sound and saw torches shaking, and a group of people running toward them in panic.
At this moment, I heard Yu Zhongchao say in a slow and deep voice: "There is indeed something abnormal here, because many people have died here."
Tian Wangye suddenly looked at him, his eyes cold.
Four identical letters attracted the four most powerful gangs outside the customs, and people actually died here.
Everyone thought of two words at the same time: conspiracy.
