In the fifteenth year of Tianji, the ninth day of September is the Double Ninth Festival.
Just after nightfall, Wei Changtian swaggered into the carriage parked at the gate of Wei Mansion.
This time, he was not going to the Xuanjing Division or the Fengqi Pavilion, but to take the initiative to get into the "trap" surrounding him.
After waiting for more than ten days, Xiao Feng finally approached Yang Liushi again and asked her to seduce him to a short mountain called "Fish Maw" in the south of the city to enjoy chrysanthemums together.
Naturally, the "sexy" Wei Changtian would not refuse. The wheel threw up a burst of dust and soon disappeared from the sight of several spies.
“Squeak—squeak—”
On the old tree at the entrance of the Wei Mansion, the feeble sounds of autumn cicadas could be heard one after another.
These little guys only cared about singing loudly in the last period of their lives, but did not notice the big mantis behind them that almost blended into the green leaves.
Just like the mantis, which is concentrating on its prey, does not notice the oriole on another branch.
"Whoa!"
The front scythe waved, and the bird's wings fluttered.
The mantis and the oriole attacked almost at the same time, heading straight for their goals.
The leaves trembled among the intertwined yellow and green, but only the cicadas still chirped silly.
…
…
Yumaw Mountain is located about ten miles outside the city and is named after its shape resembling a fish belly.
Although this place is not far from the capital, but because it is far away from official roads, not many people come here to climb up and admire the chrysanthemums even during the Double Ninth Festival. There are only some scattered literati who come here alone to highlight their uniqueness.
This is a mountaineering and drinking experience.
By the time the Wei Mansion's carriage turned off the official road and drove onto a dirt road in the forest, the sky was already half dark, and there were shadows in the surrounding woods. The four lanterns hanging on the carriage could barely illuminate the darkness.
This bright light did not move very fast, and the sound of horse hooves was extremely loud in the night.
At this time, on both sides of the dirt road ahead, there were dozens of masked people lying in the bushes, each with a black cloth embroidered with white dragon tied to their left shoulder.
If there are people in the green forest here, they will definitely recognize what this strip of cloth represents.
Xuan connects the heaven and the earth, and finally merges with the mountains and rivers.
Xuantianhui.
"Hall Master, the spies along the way have confirmed that Wei Changtian is indeed in this car. Apart from the driver, the only other person traveling with him is the servant named Wang Er."
"Um."
Xiao Feng, who was hiding in the darkness, nodded and lowered his voice and warned: "Tell the brothers that we must fight quickly. Wei Mansion will definitely have secret sentries following behind."
"Hall Master, we have a total of twenty sixth-grade masters here this time, so why should we be afraid..."
"..."
With a cold look in his eyes, the speaker immediately suppressed the second half of his sentence, and after a long silence, he took his index finger and thumb into his mouth.
"Chirp, chirp~ chirp, chirp~"
The night wind blew, and whistles sounded softly like birdsong.
Xiao Feng focused his eyes on the fire again, and tightly grasped the hilt of the Xuantian Sword in his hand.
Although what he told Yang Liushi was to lead Wei Changtian to the top of the mountain, it was just a cover. In fact, he had always planned to take action halfway.
After all, it is still unknown whether Yangliu Shi is trustworthy. Even if it is indeed trustworthy, the Wei family's secret sentry will definitely be deployed on the top of the mountain in advance.
Xiao Feng did not want to confront the Wei family head-on, but preferred to use an ambush to kill Wei Changtian as quickly as possible and then escape.
To this end, he brought almost all the experts he could mobilize, and even borrowed one person from the Liu family.
This person may not take action, but as long as he is around, Xiao Feng will be absolutely sure that Wei Changtian will die because of it.
What you made me lose that day in the Wei Mansion, I will definitely get back a thousand times!
"Da da da, da da da..."
The distant sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the two figures reflected on the car window were faintly visible.
Finally, at the moment when the carriage arrived in front of everyone, the Xuantian Sword suddenly came out of its sheath with a clang, and a loud roar exploded in the forest.
"kill!!!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Xiao Feng was the first to jump up from his hiding place, and then countless sharp arrows shot through the air, heading straight towards the speeding carriage from all directions.
"Pfft pfft!"
"Plop!"
"Hey! Hey!!"
In the blink of an eye, the driver's eyes widened and he fell from the carriage. The two horses screamed and kicked forward. There were several long poisoned arrows stuck in their bodies. It looked like they didn't have much time left to live.
However, Xiao Feng didn't care what they did, and kept staring at the figure in the car.
It wasn't until blood spattered all over the car window and the two figures swayed a few times that a smile gradually appeared on his lips.
However, the smile only lasted for a moment and then suddenly disappeared, replaced by a trace of doubt.
No, it seems a little too smooth...
Even though Wei Changtian was defenseless, why didn't he even shout?
Is it a stand-in? A dummy?
Why? Is it the secret leaked by Yangliu Shi? Or is there something detailed in the Xuantian Society?
Countless speculations crowded into his mind, and Xiao Feng no longer waited. He kicked off the ground and turned into a black shadow, heading straight for the car that was leaning on the ground.
"Swish! Bang!"
He smoothly chopped off the struggling horse's head with a sword, and then struck the sedan body with another sword.
The sharp sword energy chopped the car into pieces almost instantly, revealing the two figures lying in a pool of blood.
Both of them were covered with arrows and were already dead.
The rich blood amidst the splatters of broken wood hit his nostrils.
Xiao Feng stared intently with a livid face, expecting to see the bodies of two strangers.
But when he really saw who the person he had ambushed and killed through his careful planning was...
The lantern rolling aside was still flickering with fire, illuminating two familiar faces.
"Old Liu Tou..."
"Ying, Ying'er..."
"..."
The moonlight is bleak, old friends meet again.
Xiao Feng was stunned in place as if he had lost his soul, repeating the word "Ying'er" over and over in his mouth.
The girl who was counting arrows in her voice was naturally unable to give him any response. She just widened her lifeless eyes, which seemed to still contain the fear before her death.
"Ying'er! Ying'er!!!"
"Uhhh!!!"
The leaves trembled for a while, frightening countless birds flying in the forest.
Xiao Feng held his head in extreme pain and screamed wildly, but the other members of the Xuantian Society were stunned for a moment, and then rushed over to persuade:
"Master! Let's retreat quickly!"
"Since Wei Changtian is not in the car, then this must be a trap. I'm afraid people from the Wei family will be here soon!"
"Let's go! If you don't go, it will be too late!"
"..."
These few reminders exploded in Xiao Feng's ears like thunder on the ground.
yes!
Since the Wei family has known about his plan for a long time, how could they let him go so easily!
No longer looking at the breathless girl, he took a deep breath and gave the order with difficulty:
"Let's go! Disperse into the forest and return to the hall first!!"
"yes!"
Everyone responded and prepared to run away immediately.
However, at this moment, torches suddenly lit up from all directions in the forest.
In the light of the fire, nearly a hundred men with swords had formed an encirclement. The military-style crossbows were flashing with cold light, and like poisonous snakes, they were ready to shoot out at any time and kill people.
Seeing this scene, everyone in Xuantian Club was instantly shocked and broke out in cold sweat.
They hurriedly raised their swords to protect their chests, and then heard a voice full of ridicule.
"Walk?"
"I think you should go for a walk on Huangquan Road!"
