At this time, it was the beginning of the hour, the bright moon began to fall, the bright moonlight gradually dimmed, and the small mountain village was quiet in a quiet. The Ye family under a dark cloud had become a piece of ashes, and only ruins remained in the ruins.

With a sad look, Ye Yinfeng knelt in the courtyard, forcibly stopping the tears he shed, his hands had been deeply grasped into the soil, and the big yellow dog seemed to feel Ye Yinfeng's grief and stood silently behind him. At this time, the yellow dog's ears moved, and it suddenly bit Ye Yinfeng's sleeve and pulled it a few times.

Ye Yinfeng woke up from his grief, his face couldn't help but change, and in the village not far away, the sound of several nocturnal walkers breaking through the air came to his ears. It seems to be coming from the village, and a thick murderous aura comes with the wind. Ye Yinfeng was shocked, and hurriedly rushed to the ruins of the Ye family, hiding next to a broken wall that had not yet collapsed. Blocking the breath of his whole body, the yellow dog also followed closely behind, lying behind him, with a pair of eyes outside the courtyard.

Ye Yinfeng and Yellow Dog had just hid their bodies, and he realized that his uneasiness all night turned out to be from this, the last batch of black clothes obviously did not give him such a strong uneasiness, and he knew that the uneasiness in his heart had only really begun at this moment. Ye Yinfeng couldn't help but hold his breath, and he felt his heartbeat begin to accelerate.

The four black-clothed men crossed a trail in the air and stood lightly on the wall of the courtyard, the four black-clothed men carried a strong aura of slaughter, and their black robes swayed in the wind, which was particularly mysterious. Ye Yinfeng forced his heartbeat to slow down, and he shielded his breath and blended in with the night.

Ye Yinfeng looked nervously at the four black-clothed people, under the wrapping of the one-color black robe, it was difficult to distinguish their body characteristics and gender, the difference between the previous batch of black-clothed people was that there was a strong murderous aura, and it was inside the black robe, and each black-clothed person had the word "thorn" embroidered with gold on his chest.

Four black-clothed people stood on the wall, looking around at the entire Ye family that had become ruins, a black-clothed man seemed to feel Ye Yinfeng's gaze, and looked towards Ye Yinfeng's hiding place, Ye Yinfeng immediately lowered his head and closed his eyes, the man in black seemed to be unwilling, and kept staring at Ye Yinfeng's hiding place for a while, Ye Yinfeng could clearly feel a pair of eyes sweeping around him, and after a while, that gaze was removed.

"It seems that someone came to the Ye family in advance, and the time was not long ago, if the Ye family escaped, our people should find out, it is certain that the Ye family is all wiped out, and all of them are turned into ashes. The blood stains on the ground, and the green pine that had been broken by the waist, it was certain that there must have been a fight here. It seems that the Ye family is also at least a master of the internal strength period. But in the end, the dust is back to dust, the dust is back to the earth, and we can go back to the errand. One of the men in black said to the other three, his voice empty, like a ghost from hell.

After the four men in black disappeared into the night, Ye Yinfeng did not dare to move at all, and still did not relax his vigilance, and maintained the posture before the man in black came, after a long time, Ye Yinfeng could no longer feel the breath of the four men in black, he was sure that the man in black would never return, he took a long breath, the uneasiness in his heart seemed to slowly disappear, Ye Yinfeng turned his head to look and found that the yellow dog had left behind him from time to time.

A low whine came, and Ye Yinfeng fixed his eyes to see that the yellow dog was in a ruin, and the two dog's paws kept gouging something, and a faint yellow light flashed out. Ye Yinfeng found that the location of the yellow dog happened to be his bedroom, and he walked to the yellow dog, at this time, the yellow dog took out a thin piece of paper from the ruins, which was emitting a faint yellow light, and the faint halo was particularly dazzling in the moonlight.

Ye Yinfeng took the thin paper-like thing from the mouth of the yellow dog, the object was as thin as paper, emitting a faint yellow light, Ye Yinfeng found that there were hundreds of small characters like a fly's head on it, he didn't know what this paper-thin object was made of, the material was harder than paper, he tried to stack the object, and found that it could be folded, and it was intact after unfolding, but now the moonlight had faded, and he couldn't see the words on the object. Ye Yinfeng felt that this was not the time to study the object, he folded the object and stuffed it into his arms, he was stunned, only to find that the book "Taiqing Jue" in his arms was missing, he thought about it, and remembered that when he came out of the house, the mental method forgot to bring it out and left it on the bed, and it may have turned into a pile of ashes at this time. But Ye Yinfeng didn't look annoyed, because he had already memorized that mental method in his mind, but it was left to him by the old Taoist, and there was inevitably a pity in his heart.

Ye Yinfeng slowly walked out of the ruins of the Ye family, he put away the grief in his heart, and looked blankly at the gradually dark night, he didn't know where to go next, he also had a lot of questions in his heart, these two different groups of people in black had the same purpose, and the previous group of people in black seemed to be less terrifying than the latter group of people in black. Ye Yinfeng felt that the latter group of black-clothed people were real killers, and that kind of strong killing intent was something he could never forget for the rest of his life. If, as Ye Ran said, the first batch of black-clothed people were the killers of the Assassination Heaven Alliance, then what were the second batch of black-clothed people, especially the small golden word "Thorn" on the chest of their black robes, and what kind of killers were they, both groups of people were going to kill the Ye family, who were they.

Ye Yinfeng walked out of the courtyard of the Ye family, looked back at the entire Ye family that had become ruins silently, pondered for a while, turned around and walked in the direction of the small mountain village, still followed by the yellow dog.

When approaching the small mountain village, Ye Yinfeng smelled a smell of blood, the closer to the mountain village, the stronger the smell of blood, Ye Yinfeng was frightened, and hurried to the village, only to feel that there was a dead silence in the village, the pungent smell of blood came to his face, he hurriedly broke into a farmer's house, pushed the door and looked, all the people in the farmer's family fell in a pool of blood, Ye Yinfeng went to several families, and the result was the same, in this remote village, the whole village was killed,

A sense of grief and indignation surged into his heart, Ye Yinfeng couldn't help but roar wildly, more than a few hundred people, men, women and children in a village all fell in a pool of blood, why, isn't it enough for a Ye family, but also to compensate a village of people, one stumbled, Ye Yinfeng was almost unstable on his feet, he stabilized his mood. Holding on to a big tree next to the village road, Si Su returned to the time he stayed in this small mountain village, his mind was full of the smiles of those simple and honest farmers, replaying them over and over again, his childhood playmates, Aunt Wang, Zhang Niang, Lao Niu Bo, one by one, faces, figures, hovering in his mind.

At this time, Haoyue had been completely swallowed up by the black sky, and the dark night like lacquer came, and after a long time, Ye Yinfeng calmed down his emotions and turned around and left the small mountain village, in the direction of the south.

A bleak figure and a yellow dog gradually disappeared into the vast night.

??????

Dingyuan County, in the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is a small county south of the Huai River.

Dingyuan County, South Street, the courtyard of Huangfu's family is located at the very end of this South Street.

Huang Fu Yi was sitting in the hall of his house, sipping the high-grade green tea purchased from Dongwu, while tasting tea while thinking about how to manage the business of official salt, he took a sip of tea beautifully, a strong tea fragrance like a girl's body fragrance, lingering back and forth in his nostrils, Huang Fu Yi greedily sucked the tea fragrance scattered around with his nose, and the 10,000 taels of silver borrowed from the Ye family should be enough for those official families.

In Dingyuan County, Huang Fuyi is undoubtedly very successful, but how can he be satisfied with the business of tea that can only earn some small profits, and the official salt is a profitable business, only after getting the right to operate from the government, the silver is not as good as flowing into his pocket.

At this time, the butler of the Emperor's Mansion walked in, looking in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Master, master, something is wrong." ”

"What's a big deal, panicked, a lot of age and still so hairy," seemed to be interrupted Huang Fuyi's beautiful reverie, he was a little angry, and his tone didn't feel heavy.

"The Ye family, the Ye family's mansion seems to have been burned by fire, and the people of the Ye family are nowhere to be found, and in the mountain village where the Ye family is located, hundreds of people were all killed overnight." The old butler said breathlessly.

"What, you say it again," Huang Fuyi really hadn't heard what the old butler said clearly, and the dead old man said it so quickly.

The old butler repeated it again.

"Clang", Huang Fuyi froze, the teacup in his hand sank unconsciously, fell to the ground, the tea splashed, all over the ground, he hurriedly asked what was going on.

The old housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and said, it turned out that the old housekeeper passed by the gate of the county government on the street, and saw that the county office's officials and the shutter were seriously dressed up and set off from the county government, and the county commander also rode a horse to wait, he pulled a government official to sound, and the official told him that someone went to Qingshan Village to visit relatives, only to find that hundreds of people in the village were all killed overnight, and the Ye family in Qingshan Village was also burned to ashes overnight, and the Ye family was nowhere to be found, so they hurriedly came to the county government to report the case, and the county commander was taking people to investigate the case.

After listening to the old housekeeper's account, Huang Fuyi's expression immediately darkened, and he hurriedly instructed the old housekeeper to go to the Ye family's teahouse to find out if the second master of the Ye family, Ye Chongye, was still there, and the old housekeeper responded and went out immediately.

After the old housekeeper went out, Huang Fu Yi sighed, no matter who else was in the Ye family, he had to find a way, he also had some worries, he didn't faintly feel that the person who killed Qingshan Village and the person who burned the Ye family seemed to be the same person, and it seemed that they were going to the Ye family, and those people in the village were just the funeral of the Ye family.

After almost a quarter of an hour, the old housekeeper came back, and with him came back Huang Fuyi's son Huang Fuhui, and the old housekeeper immediately said to Huang Fuyi: "Ye Chongye's family of four is nowhere to be found, and the teahouse is still there, but all the people in it are gone, including the guys in the teahouse." ”

After hearing this, Huang Fuyi's expression was serious, he kept frowning, and instructed the old housekeeper to gather all the domestic servants and search in the entire territory of Dingyuan County to see if he could find the people left behind by the Ye family.

"Dad, what kind of person do you say would be to do such an unreasonable thing, and the Ye family should have no enemies" Huang Fuhui asked his father in confusion.

"I don't know if it's my father, it's estimated that it's the power on the rivers and lakes, and my father will also ask some friends on the rivers and lakes, you can also ask your master, although our family and the Ye family have business dealings, but they usually have some friendships, although my father is a businessman, he also knows a 'righteousness' word. Whether you can find the rest of the Ye family this time depends on God. You don't have to worry too much about it, either. Huangfu said helplessly.

On this day, Huang Fuyi didn't sleep all night, and kept walking back and forth in front of the window of his bedroom, and the candlelight in Huang Fuhui's bedroom was also lit all night.
