A disciple of "Jingci Lin'an" hurriedly took out the fireworks tube, hurriedly held the fire, lit the fire and cast it, but before it could light up, he only heard a bang, and a firework rushed into the sky.

Rising from the village wall on the east side! In an instant, another firework soared into the sky again, but it was set off by the village wall on the west side!

At this time, the fireworks signal in the hands of the disciples of "Jingci Lin Temple" flew out and turned into the third flame that exploded into the air.

Master Huang Lian looked surprised and said, "What's going on? Why are there fireworks signals everywhere!"

Hua Bushi was also quite confused, but he regained his composure in a moment and said: "It's probably a tactic used by the underworld to deceive soldiers. It seems that reinforcements may not come for a while. Let's hold on to this wall first."

Master Huang Lian said: "Yes, these underworld people are really cunning!"

She shouted loudly: "Everyone, guard your position carefully. When the enemy's troops rush under the wall, use hidden weapons to block them. Don't let them climb up the wall!"

In fact, without Master Huang Lian's orders, all the disciples already had steel darts, throwing knives and other hidden weapons in their hands. They were just waiting for the gangsters to cross the river and then attacked together. However, Leng Lianshan on the other side of the river was seen standing up immediately.

Hengdao stood there but did not rush over immediately, which made everyone feel a little relieved.

Even if this river protecting the village, which is less than ten feet wide, can block the underworld minions, it has no blocking effect in front of a master like Leng Ba Dao. It can fly across easily, while the two-foot-high village wall

If he wants to jump up, it won't be difficult if he thinks about it.

If this top master in the Guangdong underworld rushed over, the people on the wall would probably be really difficult to deal with.

Compared with the disciples of "Jingci Lin'an" who were waiting in full formation, Hua Bushi did not give orders to the people of "Evil Dog Clan", but stared at the group of underworld knights who were wading over in the Huzhuang River, with doubts on his face.

His expression was even worse.

Seeing that the gangster knights rushing in the front row had crossed the Huzhuang River and were about to rush a few feet under the wall and within the range of the hidden weapon, a "woo woo" horn sound suddenly came from the distance.

Voice.

Although the sound of the horn is low, it is very melodious. Even on the noisy battlefield with people shouting and horses neighing, it can be heard clearly. As soon as the horn sounded, a group of underworld knights had already rushed under the village wall.

They each reined in their horses, turned around and retreated. The people and horses who were originally in the Huzhuang River and failed to rush ashore also turned their horses' heads and retreated backwards.

However, Leng Lianshan, who was standing across the river with a sword across the river, slapped his mount, quickly dodged into the crowd of underworld men, and disappeared in the blink of an eye!

Could this sound of the horn be an order for the underworld troops to retreat?

The people who were guarding the wall of the village looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the retreating gangsters. They didn't know what was going on. Just now, these strong men were baring their teeth and claws, charging at them with great force. Unexpectedly, they left without fighting after a moment and retreated.

It's so fast, it's really unpredictable.

Master Huang Lian was also very confused and said: "Why did these people retreat so easily? Is there any other conspiracy?"

At this time, most of the underworld men and horses had retreated outside the Huzhuang River. Once they crossed the ditch, these people rode away without hesitation, without any intention of stopping. The two sides had not had time to fight just now, "Jingci Lin'an"

"The crowd of nuns didn't even fire a single hidden weapon. At this moment, the opponent retreated at full speed. Even if they wanted to pursue it, it was too late.

The more than a hundred knights outside the south courtyard wall had left in a matter of seconds, leaving nothing but water stains and horse hoof marks under the wall. There was also no fighting in the direction of the other walls. The sound came, could it be that the four to five hundred underworld knights who surrounded the village all retreated like this?

Master Huang Lian was even more confused and immediately ordered two disciples to inspect the walls on the east and west sides of the village. When she turned around, she saw Hua Bushi standing there with a look of neither surprise nor anger. Leisurely look.

"Why do the people in the underworld retreat without a fight? Does Mr. Hua have any good ideas?" Master Huang Lian finally couldn't help but ask.

Hua Bushi said: "I dare not, but I dare not. From Xiao Ke's point of view, since they cannot attack Nanquan Village, it is reasonable for them to retreat."

Master Huang Lian said: "These gangsters outnumber us, and Leng Lianshan is an extremely expert. Why can't we attack this place even if we see it?"

Hua Bushi said: "Master, do you think those gangsters who rushed under the wall just now are the troops of the 'Moyun Bazhai' in Luoding Prefecture?"

Master Huang Lian said: "Isn't it?"

Hua Bushi said: "Although I have never seen what the men and horses of the 'Moyun Bazhai' look like, the underworld knights just now looked fierce in appearance, but their equipment and horses were of mixed quality. Their offensive and defensive advance and retreat were quite scattered, and they did not look like real warriors. of elite troops.”

You must know that the "Moyun Eight Villages" in Luoding Prefecture are the strongest gangster villages in Guangdong. Even the Ming Dynasty could not do anything to them. The governor's office of Guangdong Province sent large groups of officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them several times, but they were all defeated by Leng Lianshan. He led the troops of Bazhai to a great defeat and returned home. Without the troops of Bazhai under his command, Leng Lianshan would not be able to take the top spot in the "Guangdong Underworld Alliance" even if he was a powerful martial artist.

Although there were a lot of underworld knights surrounding the village just now, now that I think about it carefully, their formation is indeed a bit chaotic, with all kinds of weapons, and their armor and saddles are not neatly matched. There are some gaps in the elite underworld in "Zhai".

Master Huang Lian suddenly understood and said: "If these knights are not from the 'Moyun Bazhai', then that Leng Ba Dao is probably not real either!"

Hua Bushi said: "What the master said is true. Just now, fireworks were set off on the three walls of the village. I think it was because they sent three people respectively, all pretending to be Leng Lianshan, and at the same time outside the walls on three sides. That’s why it appeared.”

Everyone knows that Leng Ba Dao’s weapon is a giant blade that is eight feet three inches long and weighs seventy-two kilograms. Therefore, it is easiest to pretend to be him. Just send someone with a giant machete, and everyone who sees it will Everyone would immediately think that he was Leng Lianshan, the tyrant. As for concealing his appearance, covering his face with a black cloth was a common practice for people in the underworld, and others would not be able to see any flaws.

Hua Bushi added: "If Leng Badao leads the elite men and horses of the 'Moyun Bazhai' to come in person, they may be able to capture Nanquanzhuang by force, but it is impossible for these fake men and horses, so they dare not take it seriously with us. Fight."

Master Huang Lian said: "If they are not Leng Lianshan's men, who are they? And since it is impossible to capture this village, why do they come here to provoke them with such bluff?"

Hua Bushi said: "They staged an attack and sent people to pretend to be Leng Ba Dao. They must have wanted to attract attention and mobilize our manpower. But what was their purpose? Xiao Ke couldn't guess the identity of these people. It’s even more unknown. Master Huang Lian has been in Guangdong for a long time, can’t he see some clues?”

Being able to mobilize four to five hundred people, even if it is just a ragtag group of people pretending to be elites, not everyone in Guangdong can do it. When Hua Bushi first arrived here, of course he had no way of guessing, and "Jingci Lin'an"

It is a local sect. As the leader of the sect, Master Huang Lian certainly knows more about the situation in Guangdong than Hua Bushi, but he may be able to see some clues.

However, Master Huang Lian pondered for a while and then said: "I have never seen the knights who appeared just now, so I really can't guess which side they are from."

Not knowing the origins of these men and horses, it is impossible to guess why they came to attack the village with a bluff. Even if Hua Bushi had some scheming, he was still confused at this time and did not know why.

However, it didn't take long before he found out the other party's purpose of staged this drama of attacking the village with great fanfare.

The disciples sent by Master Huang Lian to investigate soon came back. According to their reports, all the people surrounding the village had been withdrawn. As expected, there were "Leng Ba Dao" outside the walls of the village on the east and west sides.

"They showed up, but no one actually started fighting. The opponent's men and horses all just rushed forward and then quickly retreated.

But at this moment, a figure flew from the village, and when he came closer, he saw that it was an incense master under Wu Zhengdao of the "Nanhai Sect".

"Master Huang Lian and Young Master Hua, the leader of the I faction has summoned all the principals to discuss matters in the ancient ancestral hall. Please go quickly!" the incense owner said with cupped hands.

Master Huang Lian frowned and said, "The enemy has just retreated and the situation is still unclear. Why is Master Wu so anxious to convene a meeting?"

The incense master said: "The leader only ordered his subordinates to inform the two of them. I don't know the specific situation."

Master Huang Lian said: "Okay, in that case, Master Hua, let's go there together!"

Master Huang Lian didn't notice anything wrong, but Hua Bushi was very good at observing faces, and saw a hint of strange color in the eyes of this incense owner.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he still called everyone at the "Evil Dog Gate" and followed Master Huang Lian down the village wall towards the Gu family ancestral hall.

There were many disciples of the "Nanhai Sect" and "Danxia Sect" standing outside the Gu Family Ancestral Hall, and the atmosphere was very solemn. Hua Bushi followed Master Huang Lian and walked into the ancestral hall door, and immediately smelled the smell of blood.

, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.

Wu Zhengdao, Yuan Gongyi, and Zhong Bulao were all in the ancestral hall. Cao Muyun and Xue Yuan were also standing on one side. Beside the door were Master Miaozhen, Yi Ruoying, and several people from the "Nanhai" and "Danxia" factions.

master.

All the important people in the group were already here, but Master Huang Lian and Hua Bushi were the last to arrive, and the expressions of everyone in the room were very solemn.

However, Hua Bushi didn't pay attention to them at all, but looked straight at the big sandalwood table in the middle of the ancestral hall. Mr. Ma Da was sitting on an Eight Immortals chair. A scar appeared on his left chest, and there was blood.

It flowed out and was dripping on the ground along the wooden chair!
