Tang Yin poured the last drop of wine in the flask into the bowl, drank it all in one gulp, then took out a piece of silver, put it on the table, stood up and said: "Brother Shen, you and I will meet again soon. I believe how long it will take, we will meet again." of."
Shen Shu also stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Tang, goodbye."
Tang Yin smiled slightly and walked out of the tavern. Once outside, he looked up to the sky and took a long breath. Black mist suddenly appeared around him. Looking at him again, the person had disappeared.
Seeing that Tang Yin had left, Shen Shu turned around and sat back down, holding the wine bowl, drinking and thinking about his thoughts.
Back at the inn, Tang Yin quietly returned to his room without waking Jiang Fan and others, and lay down on his bed. He thought that the assassin who assassinated Yan Xi tonight was dead and there would be no more murders. But he was wrong. The next morning, , three more corpses were nailed to the east city wall, the same as the previous two days, the same ones were nailed through the heart, and the same words were left.
It is understandable to say that the murders in the previous two days were due to the rangers' lack of preparation, but last night, almost all the rangers in the city were looking for traces of the assassins. However, in this case, some rangers were still killed, and the number of people who died was higher than the first. One, there will be more on the second day, which cannot help but cause people to panic.
Not to mention the panic among the rangers, even the government of Laiyang couldn't stand it. Murders occurred for three consecutive days, and the murderer openly nailed the body to the city gate. This was tantamount to openly slapping the government in the face. The Lord of Laiyang City urgently ordered that everyone The city searched for the murderer, and then added a curfew. No one was allowed to go out on the streets after dark. Once discovered, he could be killed on the spot without interrogation.
With the intervention of the government, the situation in Laiyang City became more tense. At night, groups of officers and soldiers patrolled the streets and alleys. However, the patrols of a large number of local troops failed to stop the killings. On the fourth day, they were nailed to the city. There were already four corpses in the door. It was obvious that the murderer was killing one more person every day, deliberately creating a tense atmosphere.
The intervention of the government greatly restricted the rangers' movements, and the government was unable to stop or find out the murderer. It would only let the rangers be beaten passively. As a result, the rangers in the city began to leave Laiyang one after another and gathered in the surrounding villages and towns. Some people simply Sleeping in the wild, on guard day and night, for fear of being attacked by assassins.
Tang Yin was also unwilling to stay in the city due to the curfew in Laiyang and the large number of rangers leaving. He asked Jiang Fan and others to pack up and follow him out of the city. On the way out of the city, Jiang Fan asked: "Master, what are we doing now?" Where to?"
Before Tang Yin could speak, Shangguan Yuanbiao said first, "I heard that many rangers have gone to the villages south of the city. Master, are we going there too?"
Tang Yin thought for a moment and said: "There are only two days left before the Ranger Gathering. Let's go to Ten Thousand Tombs Valley first to see what the situation is like there."
"good!"
Jiang Fan and others had no objection, and after leaving the city with Tang Yin, they went straight to Wanzhong Valley.
The Wanzhong Valley is located southwest of Laiyang, only 20 miles away, and it takes less than half an hour to ride a horse. The location of the Wanzhong Valley is very unique, just between two mountains. The mountain shape here is sunken inward, forming a circle. The valley is shaped like a valley, the terrain is open, and the area is large enough to accommodate more than 100,000 people.
Because the ranger gathering place is located here, a stage has been set up in the Ten Thousand Tombs Valley. In the middle is a tall, wide and strong platform, which is obviously set up for the ranger competition. To the north of the platform, there are several platforms of different sizes.
Each seating platform is hung with the name of the sect. Among them, the four largest seating platforms are hung with the words Xiaoyaomen, Shengtang, Shuramen and Baihuitang respectively.
Seeing this, Tang Yin couldn't help laughing and said to everyone around him: "Zhang Dong must have sent people to build this place!"
Jiang Fan and others were stunned and asked: "How does the king know?"
Tang Yin said with a smile: "The strength and reputation of Xiaoyao Sect are far inferior to those of Shengtang, Shuramen, and Baihui Hall. Now Xiaoyao Sect's seats are placed on an equal footing with Shengtang, Shuramen, and Baihui Hall. Of course, only Zhang Dong
You can do it now.”
Jiang Fan and others also smiled in unison, nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
While they were talking, several young men wearing white clothes and white trousers walked over from inside. They looked at Tang Yin and everyone and said coldly: "This is a gathering place for rangers. Before the date, no one is allowed to enter!"
Tang Yin met their eyes and asked with a smile: "Then who are you?"
"Xiaoyaomen!" The young man headed by him said in a domineering and confident manner: "This place was built by me, Xiaoyaomen, and I, Xiaoyaomen, naturally have the right to manage this place. If you leave as soon as possible, don't blame me if you dare to say another word.
His men are ruthless."
Yo! What a loud tone! Before Tang Yin could speak, Shangguan Yuan Biao beside him snorted and made a move to step forward. Tang Yin grabbed him first and shook his head slightly, signaling him not to cause trouble.
The Xiaoyao Sect seems to have regarded itself as the host of this gathering. It can be seen that Zhang Dong is bound to win the position of leader. I hope it will be as he wishes! Tang Yin muttered in his heart and asked several Xiaoyao Sect disciples
He smiled slightly, turned around and left without saying anything.
After exiting the Ten Thousand Tombs Valley, Shangguan Yuanbiao said angrily: "The Xiaoyao Sect is so arrogant. No wonder so many rangers speculate that they are the masterminds behind the recent murders!"
Tang Yin shook his head with a smile and said: "Because the Xiaoyao Sect is so arrogant, they must not be the murderers, because Zhang Dong doesn't even bother to do that." Zhang Dong thought that with his support, the position of alliance leader must be his.
However, we still don’t know what the final result will be!
Now Tang Yin no longer has confidence in whether Xiaoyao Sect can successfully win the position of leader. The situation in the ranger world is more complicated than he imagined, and there are many more spiritual martial arts masters in the ranger world than he expected. Not to mention
The holy church, Baihui Hall, just the Shura sect that he had seen was already as expert as a cloud.
"Your Majesty, where are we going now?" Shangguan Yuanwu asked.
Tang Yin thought for a while and said: "Didn't it say that many rangers have gone to the village in the south of the city? Let's go there too!"
"yes!"
After everyone left Ten Thousand Tombs Valley and walked more than ten miles, they suddenly heard the sound of killing in the woods on the roadside. They were all stunned. They reined in the reins, stopped their horses, and looked at each other. Tang Yin took the lead in dismounting and waved.
: "Go and have a look."
Tang Yin left Shangguan brothers, Asan and Asi to guard the horses, and only took Jiang Fan and Cheng Jin into the woods quietly to see what was going on inside.
Deep in the woods, two gangs of rangers were fighting. Because the clothes of the two sides were obviously different, it was easy to tell that they were two gangs. One of them had an absolute advantage and surrounded the remaining members of the other side.
, and there were more than ten corpses lying on the ground.
"Members of the Shenwu Sect, do you really want to kill them all?" A ranger who was surrounded shouted at the top of his lungs. At this time, the spiritual armor on his body was full of scratches, and blood was pouring out in many places.
Here, people are already crumbling.
"Hmph! If I don't kill you, I'm afraid we will be the ones who die tomorrow." Someone from the dominant group of rangers took a step forward and said coldly.
"What do you mean?"
"I think the mass assassination of rangers in the past few days was done by your Lotus Gang. Instead of waiting for you to find the leader of my Shenwu Sect, why don't I kill all your Lotus Gang first!"
"Stop spouting blood! I will fight with you!" The warrior at the end of his life yelled, and rushed over with his spiritual sword. He rushed over quickly before he could bounce back quickly, and was hit in the chest with a punch and knocked back.
. With a muffled thud, the ranger fell heavily to the ground. Looking at his chest, the spiritual armor was shattered, and the white clothes inside were stained red with blood.
"Kill! Leave no one behind! Kill all the people in the Lotus Gang today!"
Wow - the crowd surrounding them swarmed forward and launched a frantic attack on the rangers who were trapped in it. It was a one-sided fight, and the trapped rangers didn't even have a chance to escape. From time to time, there were rumblings from the crowd.
A shrill scream came out.
Tang Yin had no intention of intervening. He watched in secret for a while and then planned to exit the woods. He sneered in his heart and caused the rangers to kill each other. This must be what the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to see most, and the one who was fooled among the rangers was really
There are a lot of people out there who are extremely stupid and extremely ridiculous, and so on, if one of them dies, there will be less harm.
He was about to retreat when he suddenly found a person hiding in a tree twenty meters away from him. This person was hiding among the branches and leaves of the tree. It was very hidden. If Tang Yin hadn't had a keen sense and extraordinary eyesight, it would have been difficult to spot her.
.
Tang Yin's heart moved, and he winked at Jiang Fan and Cheng Jin beside him, hinting that they would wait for him for a while, and then he used Shadow Drift to dodge towards the old tree where the man was hiding.
At a distance of twenty meters, Tang Yin drifted two consecutive shadows to the tree. Then, like a monkey, he used his hands and feet to climb up the tree in twos and twos. His movements were too fast and silent, until he was about to
When she got close to the opponent's back, the person suddenly became alert. She reacted extremely quickly. When she turned around, the green steel sword was already mostly unsheathed.
When she turned around, Tang Yin also saw her appearance clearly. He took the first step and held down her arm that was drawing the sword, and whispered: "Isn't your Excellency, the sect master, going to draw your sword against me again?"
"Ah? It's you again?" The person hiding in the tree was a woman, and she had met and fought with Tang Yin not long ago. She was Yan Xi, the second master of Shura Sect.
At this moment, Yan Xi was very surprised to see Tang Yin, and subconsciously asked: "Why are you here?"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "I would also like to ask you, the sect master, the same thing!"
Yan Xi deserves to be the leader of a big gang, and quickly recovered from the shock. She said quietly: "I have to find out who wants to take my life, right?!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded in understanding and said softly: "I also want to find out who is trying to assassinate the sect leader!"
