Go out from the east gate of Xijing City and walk about three miles south. There is a barren mountain. At the foot of the mountain is a dilapidated temple that has been in disrepair. It can be said that this place is inaccessible because in the past ten years, there have been rumors that this barren mountain It is haunted. You can always see shadowy ghosts in the middle of the night, and occasionally you can hear shrill sounds coming from the ruined temple.
Because of this rumor, locals in Xijing almost never walk from here, and even if they take a long detour, they refuse to pass by here. Even those uninformed passers-by from other places will speed up their pace and avoid staying here as much as possible after sensing the eerie horror here.
As time went by, the mountains became more deserted and the temples more dilapidated.
"Why did the leader find such a gloomy and terrifying place to meet? I heard that this temple has a history of hundreds of years, but I don't know when it was abandoned. As soon as you enter this place, it makes people's hair stand on end, and it feels like the cold air is going to penetrate into the bones. It’s in.”
"The more eerie a place is, the less likely it is that anyone will come near it, making it the most ideal place to meet. And..."
"This turned out to be the family temple of the main family, where the heroic spirits of the previous heads of the main family are enshrined."
At this time, if any passersby pass by here and hear the noise coming from the ruined temple, they will definitely be frightened. They will never believe that there are living people in the ruined temple that has been rumored to be haunted.
In the center of the main hall of the ruined temple, a bonfire was burning. A dozen men in black were sitting around the bonfire, whispering something.
"The leader called us here in such a hurry, something terrible must have happened."
"Something serious indeed happened!"
A dull voice came from behind the statue. When the people in black who were warming up by the fire heard the voice, they quickly stood up and saluted the masked man in black.
"leader!"
"Everyone, sit down!" The masked man in black waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down. "We don't have much time, so let's make a long story short. Big changes have happened in Xijing City in the past few days. The person responsible for collecting and delivering news All members of the five groups are missing. I got inside information and it seems that they were captured by the little emperor, but it is not clear where they are being held."
The other men in black were shocked when they heard this. They had always been guarding the outside of Xijing City. They usually did not take any important actions and did not even go out. Therefore, what happened in Xijing City? They Don't know anything.
"Chief, why did the little emperor suddenly target us?"
"Maybe it's not aimed at us. After all, after so many years, very few people know about our existence. The little emperor is not old and shouldn't know this. Is this just a coincidence? They are actually involved in other things. of?"
"If one person or a group is arrested, it is possible that it is a coincidence. Five groups were arrested at the same time. It must be premeditated." The masked man in black looked at his men, "I came to you because you have never You have never entered Xijing City, so you are new to the people inside, so it is easier for you to inquire about things. As soon as the city gate opens tomorrow morning, you will go into the city separately and go to taverns, teahouses and other crowded places to listen. News to see what happened. These five groups are crucial to us, we have to get people out."
"Yes!" The people in black agreed in unison. One of them looked at the leader and boldly asked, "The leader also wants to enter the city?"
"If you don't have any news by noon, I will enter the city." The leader waved his hands feebly, with a hint of exhaustion in his voice, "That's it, let's disperse!"
The people in black stood up again, saluted the leader, and left the ruined temple in twos and threes, leaving only one man in black who walked to the leader's side.
"Brother!"
The man in black who stayed behind took off his hood and watched the leader take off his mask, revealing a very tired face.
If Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were here, they would definitely find that these two people look very similar to Yu Shan and Yu Qifen who are in prison.
"came back?"
"Well, as soon as I came back, I heard that you had summoned everyone, so I hurried over here. What you just meant was that the third child was also arrested? Are you sure?"
"Confirmed! I went into the city today for a walk. Although it was calm on the surface, there were people secretly watching where Lao San and a few other people lived. They were either the Forbidden Army or the patrol camp, and they were responsible for patrolling the streets. There are more people, tight inside and loose outside, and the security is very tight." The leader... In other words, Yu Da, the boss of the Yu family, sat next to the bonfire, looking at the burning flames in trance, "Other people, I don't know how to do it. Worried, but the third child..."
"Are you afraid that the third child will shake you out because of Xiaoqi's incident?"
Yu Da didn't speak, just nodded silently.
"It's not impossible. They have been as good as one since they were young. The third child raised him like a son, and his relationship is much deeper than that of our two brothers." The fifth child of the Yu family, Yu Wuzhong He sighed, "I also advised you at that time, don't listen to our mother. Why won't you plead for mercy if she doesn't let you? After all, Xiao Qi is our biological brother. When a biological brother encounters difficulties, we as brothers will not say a word." Hey, what will the master think? If you don’t listen, you must carry out the master’s order.”
"But mother..."
"She doesn't like Xiao Qi, she even hates Xiao Qi. She thinks that it was because of Xiao Qi's birth that her father left her so early. This is the biggest obsession in her heart." Yu Wu shook his head gently, "Especially in the past few days. Over the years, my mother has become more and more paranoid."
"Dad died to save the old master. What does it have to do with Xiao Qi." Yu Da frowned slightly, "Don't talk nonsense, mother wouldn't think so."
"Boss, you spend too much time outside and don't see my mother often. I don't know what she is thinking. I am not talking nonsense, but I heard it with my own ears."
"When? Where?"
"It's at Mrs. Xiao's place." Yu Wu was helpless when he mentioned his mother, "The two of them have always been on good terms with each other. When Mrs. Xiao was bored, she would come to talk to her. That day I went back to see Mrs. Xiao, and she also Before I entered the door, I heard my mother complaining to Mrs. Xiao that Xiao Qi was a disaster star who always brought her endless troubles. Mrs. Xiao also advised her to look away. Later, when I went in, the two of them stopped talking about this matter. .Brother, if you think about it carefully, in the past ten years or so, every time Xiao Qi asked to visit Mom, what was Mom's attitude? Whenever there was any dangerous errand, Mom would always actively tell the host to let Xiao Qi go. She wasn't helping Xiao Qi strive for credit, she just wanted Xiao Qi to die early. This time too, but she just ran into the secret conversation between the two bastards next door, and she took the initiative to suggest that the master should kill Xiao Qi's mouth. Not only that, listen He said that he also sent a letter to Lao San, warning him not to intercede for Xiao Qi and asking him to kill his relatives out of justice. I..."
Before Yu Wu finished speaking, he saw Yu Da making a silent gesture. The two of them quickly stood up, left the bonfire, and moved behind the statue.
"Someone!"
Yu Da wrote two words on Yu Wu's hand, shook his head gently towards him, and told him to be silent, so as not to expose himself.
Yu Wu nodded. He seemed to have heard the shallow footsteps. He covered his mouth and tried his best to hold his breath and concentrate without making any sound.
Just when they focused all their attention on the main hall, someone quietly approached them from behind, raised the stick in their hand, and hit them hard on the back of the head.
"Done!" Merlin threw away the stick in his hand and clapped his hands at Ying Fifteen beside him, "Take it away!"
