........................

In the evening, a group of people appeared on the streets of Xitangji.

The man in white led by him is handsome. The old man who accompanied him was black, thin and capable. There are also two strong men with weapons on the left and right, each with a fierce face.

Such a line is like a rich boy returning with his entourage.

It's just that the man in white is riding on a horse, looking left and right with curious eyes. The three accompanying people behaved sneakily and looked vigilant.

This is a waterfront mountain col, scattered far and near with hundreds of households, there are cross streets running from east to west, north and south, and most of the shops on both sides of the street are closed. Several lanterns hang in the streets and alleys, lighting up the silent streets in the twilight. Occasionally, there are three or five people, and the pace is unhurried. One or two dogs were lying on the side of the road, wagging their tails listlessly.

This is Xitangji, a small country town, although I have watched countless times in my consciousness, and at this moment in it, the hustle and bustle of the world, the comfort of the countryside, all with the faint smoke and twilight slowly drifting, suddenly make people add a bit of leisurely interest.

The sound of horses' hooves knocked on the bluestone street, and the group continued to move forward.

At the west end of the town, there is a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere.

The old man jumped off his horse and ran to the courtyard gate and raised his hand to knock on it. After a while, the courtyard door opened, and three strong men with steel knives in their hands appeared slightly and quietly hid in the shadows. The man in white, two men, and the remaining three healthy horses went directly through the gate to the courtyard. But the old man didn't dare to be careless, and then closed the courtyard door.

"Boss Zhu, why did you bring people here?"

"I've said it beforehand, it's not an outsider. Mr. Wu, this is a spare house of the little old man, although it is also simple, but it is hidden from people's eyes, and it will be one or two for the time being!"

"Taihu and Shi Sheng, the two eldest brothers, and tell my brother to understand. ”

"Gou San, Liu Si, Niu Wu, this is Mr. Wu, the senior brother of Wanfeng Immortal, the master in the Immortal Dao, and he has not come to see him!"

The sounds of surprise, whining, squeezing, whispering, and the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps, as well as the different expressions of panic, mingled in the gloom of the small courtyard.

A row of stone houses, two wings, three old trees, and four surrounding walls are the situation of the small courtyard, but it is a black light and a fire, which looks eerie. Especially there are three more men with strange behaviors, which is clearly a den of thieves.

Suddenly, there was silence in all directions.

Taihu stood in a row with four strong men, bowed down and hugged his fists: "No Mr. but there is an order, my brothers are willing to serve!"

Mr. Wu stood in the courtyard, with his hands behind his back, his head held high, and the corners of his mouth smiling, very useful, but a bit of ridicule flashed in his eyes.

These five people, led by Taihu, are the last remnants of Hongling Mountain, but they are all bandits and robbers, and they are used to licking blood with knives, and they are very suspicious. Fortunately, he took out the jade pendant of Hongling Mountain in time and applied a spell, which shocked Taihu and Shi Sheng on the spot, and then he believed in his identity as an immortal. Powerful and overwhelming, it has more weight than any statement. What's more, how could ordinary monks have anything to do with Hongling Mountain, these guys could only bow down and obey orders.

However, I was a general who fought at the border yesterday, and today I became the leader of the thieves, which is really unexpected.

Wuyi nodded and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't be polite. Let's talk about the situation of the Ye family, so as not to have any accidents when you do it. ”

Taihu said: "The Ye family married a wife today, the luncheon has passed, and a banquet will be set up in the evening to entertain the guests, saying that it is going to stay all night, and there will be many people at that time, so it is a good time to do it." But ......"

Before his words fell, Gou San scrambled and said: "Well, Mr. Wu doesn't know anything, according to my brother's investigation for many days, the Ye family is powerful, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with!"

Liu Si and Niu Wu rubbed their hands and said: "Mr. Wu should bring some more brothers to come, so that he can wash the Ye family and Xitangji in blood!"

Shi Sheng echoed: "The Ye family is the richest man here, and there are countless gold, silver, and beauty!"

Taihu interrupted the four brothers and continued: "However, if you don't act secretly, there will definitely be trouble. At the beginning, Wanfeng Immortal Chief was worried that Xitangji and Hongling Mountain were too close, and he was reluctant to do it!"

Wu blame said disapprovingly: "There is still a reason for rabbits not to eat the grass next to the nest, so let the Ye family go!"

"No!"

Boss Zhu came over and waved his hand again and again: "If the Ye family is allowed to become powerful, there will be a day when Hongling Mountain will be endangered." You must know that the Ye family has a wide range of friends, and it is inevitable to notice the wind and grass. By then, it will be too late to regret it. Although there are not many of you and I tonight, if there is a gentleman in charge, you just need to take advantage of his unpreparedness to secretly attack and kill the head of the Ye family in one fell swoop, and the Ye family will be in chaos without a fight. The opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again, and please make a decision immediately!"

When he said this, he patted his shriveled chest: "Xitangji, which will be my home in the future, is the territory of Hongling Mountain." What kind of grand occasion should it be for brothers to come and go without hindrance! A country within a country, nothing more than that, a fairyland outside the world, it is better than that!"

Its spit was splashed, and its words were very demagogic. The five Taihu people were also quite tempted and secretly excited.

Wu Yi shook his head, and said disapprerovingly: "Okay, then let's do it tonight! It's just a small Ye family, and the ashes are only in the wave of his sleeves!" When he said big things, he was also very familiar with it, and he was very familiar with the style of the immortal chief of Hongling Mountain, and looked at the circle of figures in front of him and said: "It's just that I have just arrived, and I don't know anything, I hope you will remind me in time, so as not to miss the big event!"

Boss Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and slapped his chest again: "Sir, don't worry! You and the five heroes are the guests who went with me to congratulate the banquet, and when the time comes, you will definitely kill the Ye family by surprise!"

He was short, dark and thin, originally a shrewd and calm old man, but now his face was full of anger, and his eyes flashed with fierce light.

If he doesn't destroy the Ye family, he is destined to refuse to give up!

The plan has been decided, without further ado.

With Mr. Wu's words in front, Boss Zhu seems to have become the one who gives orders. He waved his arms and walked out of the courtyard with his head held high. And Taihu and a few brothers didn't need to be instructed, they had already put away the long knife and hid the short blade.

A group of seven people walked through the streets and headed straight south of town.

On the hillside two miles south of the town, there is a blue brick house that covers a wide area, surrounded by bamboo forests and surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is very rich and gathered. And that is the richest man in Xitangji, the mansion of the Ye family.

Before he walked out of the street, he saw the lights in front of the Ye family's courtyard from a distance, and there were cars and horses parked, and there were people coming and going and laughing endlessly. It's no wonder that the streets of Xitangji seem a little deserted, but I'm afraid that the men, women and children in the town have gathered here, or have a personal party to join in the fun, or beg for a glass of wine and some joy.

"The head of the Ye family is named Ye Jinsuo, and he is an old man who is greedy for money and afraid of death. He has two sons, the eldest son Ye Zhen, who is in his thirties, is shrewd and ruthless, and the youngest son Ye Qiao, who likes to dance with knives and sticks. It was Ye Qiao who married his wife today, and I heard that the bride is very beautiful!"

While leading the way, Boss Zhu whispered the details of the Ye family. Sensing that Taihu and the others were laughing in a low voice, he took the opportunity to pick up and said: "As long as you kill the Ye family master, you must have all the gold, silver, treasures and women......!

As he spoke, Ye Fu arrived in front of him.

Boss Zhu took the lead through the colorful crowd, pushed away a few children who were playing, and took out the Jinpa package from his arms and handed it over. A knowledgeable guest ushered in the package from the steps, and then shouted in a sharp voice: "Shopkeeper Zhu is happy, one hundred taels of silver-"

A man in brocade clothes in his thirties greeted him from the door, with two beards, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a dignified appearance, and he was polite: "It turned out to be Uncle Zhu, let your old man break the bank!"

Boss Zhu piled up the wrinkles on his face, waved his hand and smiled: "Hehe, Ye Xian's nephew doesn't have to be polite. I am out on business, and I am returning today, and I am glad to hear that the happy event of Ye Mansion is coming, and how can I miss it, so I brought a few shopkeepers on the road to congratulate!" he walked up the steps and introduced them one by one.

The man in brocade clothes is Ye Zhen, the eldest son of Ye Mansion, and Wu Ji and Taihu and others have become businessmen. One party invited sincerely, and the other side pretended to greet a few words and walked into the courtyard gate.

The courtyard is quite spacious, and it is full of colorful silks and crowded figures. In the open space of the courtyard and the corridor around it, there are more than 20 table seats.

A group of seven people was led to a table under the cloister on the north side of the east side to occupy a table, and under the bright lights, the table was full of cups, drinks, and fruits. Blameless sat alone with his back to the wall, while Boss Zhu, Taihu and others were guarding the left and right. Not far to the east of the cloister, there is a side door leading to the outside of the courtyard. Xu is the time to open the banquet has not arrived, and the people in the courtyard are very noisy.

Wu Yi looked at the pastries on the table, and took a plate and put it in front of him.

The five Taihu couldn't bear it, and each grabbed it on the table.

Boss Zhu didn't have the heart to eat and drink, and quietly looked around.

Wu Yi tasted the pastry, glanced at it, and asked softly: "Boss Zhu, it seems that you have a good relationship with the Ye family, why is this like this?"

Boss Zhu was slightly stunned, hurriedly shook his head, leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Mr. doesn't know, Xiao Lao'er was repeatedly bullied by Ye Jinsuo when he was seven or eight years old, it's a long story, don't mention it......"

There seems to be a sudden sense of blame, and he is empathetic: "It is not easy to remember the resentment of my childhood to this day. The so-called knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, the Ye family should have this catastrophe!"

Boss Zhu looked embarrassed, and then stopped talking.

After a while, several artillery shots exploded.

Blameless dropped the pastry and looked at it casually, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. After a while, he grabbed a wine glass and played with it with a playful expression.

I saw a few figures walking from the backyard, some old and some young with different expressions.

The leader is a half-hundred-year-old man, with gray hair, brocade robes, and a little rich, who should be the master of the Ye family, Ye Jinsuo. Then it was Ye Zhen, the eldest son of the Ye family, and a young man of eighteen or nineteen, wearing beaded flowers and wedding clothes, obviously Ye Qiao, the youngest son of the Ye family. Behind the father and son, there were three other men, a swaggering Humpty Dumpty man, a man with a goatee and hanging eyes, and a man with a round face and a short beard.

"On the occasion of the Ye family's big day, thank you for coming to cheer, and thank you here with your children, and prepare a little wine to express your heart!"

The old man, or the head of the Ye family, stood still in court, his voice was loud, and he raised his hands and saluted with the two sons. The guests congratulated in unison, and the courtyard laughed continuously. The head of the Ye family was happy again, and raised his hand to signal: "Please take your seats, you won't get drunk tonight!"

Zhike shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has come, start the banquet!"

The head of the Ye family was not busy entering the table, but looked at the three people who came after him with a respectful expression. The little boy Ye Qiao took a step forward and hugged his fists with a smile: "The three immortals came to the cold house, and they were full of glory......"

At the same time, someone in the corner five or six feet away could hear clearly.

Boss Zhu, Taihu and the others all changed their faces slightly.

The Ye family actually came to the Immortal Chief......
