Previously, he mentioned: Lei Jin decided to enter the capital. Along the way, he met a group of merchants who were preparing to sell medicinal herbs in Hangzhou.

When the sky turned dark, and the time when the cards were already at its limit, Lei Jin arrived at a roadside inn to rest. He randomly ordered a small dish of beef with half a kilogram of it as well as some hot tea before eating it. Along the way, he was not at ease and always felt that something was amiss. What was it? Lei Jin kept asking himself.

"Sir, would you like me to add another pot of hot tea?" The waitress greeted him warmly.

"Then I'll be troubling you." Lei Jin looked at the waiter who carried the teapot, and as if he was struck by lightning, he suddenly stood up, and muttered to himself: "So it's this!"

The waiter was shocked by his sudden action and asked in surprise, "Dear guest, is there anything else you need?"

Lei Jin waved his hand, and took out some copper coins from his waist pocket and placed it on the table, and said: Leave the money for the food and tea here, I don't want the guest room to return. With that, he hurriedly left the inn.

Fortunately, they didn't use all their strength during the day. The horses had just eaten some fodder and rested for a while. Now that they had set out once again, they had to put in a great deal of effort and speed. Because just now, when Lei Jin saw the actions of the waiter, he felt like he had just awoken from a dream. He had finally found the answer to the difficult problem that had troubled him for half a day. It turned out that he was very suspicious of the group of merchants he saw in the morning.

Where was the doubt?

First of all, if we say that they come from outside the pass, except for the leader, the accent of others is not outside the pass.

Secondly, if one were to talk about a merchant, even if they had trained a little in their daily life, how would they explain the hidden killing intent in their eyes?

Third, the two large boxes were filled with medicinal ingredients. However, judging from the marks of the rut, there was no equivalent weight. In other words, if the materials inside were not medicinal herbs, what was the need to transport them into the city so covertly? It could only be a weapon or other murder weapon.

In conclusion, this group of merchants was most likely going to commit a crime in the city, and when Lei Jin thought of the crime, he would naturally connect it with Liu Shizhuang's case. Jiang Cheng had not been heard from, and he had to leave the house at this time, if it was really because of Jiang's Mansion, then once something major happened, he would owe Jiang Cheng a debt of gratitude.

Lei Jin decided to return immediately. He hoped that everything was still in time!

And yet, at night.

The person leading the pack today had already changed his clothing to black clothing. He had already brought along the word "die" and it turned out that he was none other than Wan Xingyun who was from the Death Land Sect of the capital.

He took out a shining treasured saber from one of the large chests. The saber was extremely sharp, and its blade was as hard as mud. This blade was one of the legendary "Eight Treasures Outside of the Pass". It was this sharp weapon that chopped off Prefect of Hangzhou's head. Tonight, it was going to make its move again. It was going to cut the grass at its roots.

Wan Xingyun closed the box and walked out of the house. He knocked on the doors of the other seven people one by one. Everyone within the Death Land Sect was shocked awake. Tonight, they were going to do an earth-shattering thing, after all. Wan Xingyun only used the handle of his blade to knock three more times on everyone's door. This was a signal that they had agreed upon long ago. Wan Xingyun looked around and took a glance downstairs. The waiter was still lying on the table, snoring, and didn't hear anything at all. A smile hung at the corner of Wan Xingyun's mouth, as if he was celebrating his impending victory.

After a moment, he went back into the darkness and returned to his room. He pushed open the wooden window, came up to the front, and with a single leap, he easily landed on the ground, barely making a sound.

Not long after, the remaining seven people of Death Land Sect had changed into a uniform set of clothing, and arrived in the alleyway behind the inn.

"Is everyone ready?" Wan Xingyun muttered.

"Big brother, I've been waiting for you to say something." Soong Si said.

"Speak less. Do more. Do more quickly. After this is done, everyone will be able to achieve great things." Wan Xingyun held the King Kong Blade on his back.

"Big brother, don't worry."

"Then let's go."

Death Land Sect's group, taking advantage of the dark night with no one around, sneakily arrived outside the Jiang's Mansion.

"Where is the fire piston?" Wan Xingyun leaned on the wall on the west side of Jiang's Mansion and asked.

"Big Brother, I have some here."

"I have one here too."

"You've told us that we will bring them with us." The people from the Death Land Sect all spoke out.

"Alright, come with me. The Lightness Exercise will swim up the walls, don't cause any trouble." Wan Xingyun instructed.

"Yes, big brother."

Although these Death Land Sect disciples' martial arts were not as good as Wan Xingyun's, most of them were born in the martial arts world, so with such a high wall, it was still not difficult for them.

"Silence, lower your head." Wan Xingyun said in a low voice.

The seven people were so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe. They all held their breath. After a while, Wan Xingyun made a gesture to indicate that the crisis had passed.

"I never thought that there would be a servant patrolling in the middle of the night in a mere manor of the Prefect. Heh, I've underestimated you, Sir Jiang." Wan Xingyun muttered to himself.

"Big brother, what should we do now?"

"Soong Si, Wen Da, the two of you follow me. Be careful of assassination attempts; in addition, Ah Sun and Ah Zhu, bring the other three along, wait for an opportunity to set fire to the mansion, and disrupt the vision of the people in the area. Once their movements were exposed, they would immediately slaughter them without leaving a single one behind. Some of Hangzhou's defenders are already stationed on the hills on all four sides. As long as we move fast enough, it will be too late to rescue them when they send for us. Do you understand the strategy? If anyone makes a mistake in this matter, don't blame me, Wan Xingyun, for not remembering brotherly feelings. " His words were filled with deterrence and intimidation.

The seven of them did not dare to hesitate and immediately split into two teams to move out.

Wan Xingyun landed on the ground first. The servant in front who was lit up by lanterns was yawning profusely, as if he also wanted to slack off if Chief Thunder was not here. After all, it was a good time to sleep in the dead of night. Suddenly, he felt his neck grow slightly cold. He could not even cry out before losing his life. Wan Xingyun's body was extremely fast and his blade was extremely fast, it was truly terrifying.

Soong Si followed behind him, and immediately took the corpse that he had released, and gently laid him down. Wan Xingyun pointed to his left hand, and Soong Si immediately took out a poisonous dagger and walked over. Wanda, who was beside him, was also patted on the back by him and urged forward.

Wan Xingyun looked at the dead servant on the ground, without even looking at him, he sneered. It was as if he had absorbed all the chilliness of the world in the middle of the night.

Although the servants were trained by Lei Jin normally, and more or less, knew how to defend themselves, this kind of three-legged cat, when used against local ruffians, might still be useful. It was really too difficult to deal with the Death Land Sect disciples who specialized in assassins. Not long after, six patrolling servants were killed by Wan Xingyun, Soong Si, Wen Da and the others. Wan Xingyun thought: This is much simpler than what I imagined. Even though you, Jiang Cheng, are powerful, the defenses in your residence are too weak.

Seeing that the patrolling servants were all dead, Wan Xingyun waved his hand, instructing Wen Da to look for Sun, Zhu and co. and at the same time prepare to light fires at five different places. Like this, even if someone from the Jiang's Mansion managed to react, they would still panic to the point of being at a loss of what to do.

"Eh, Xiao Su, did you smell any burning smell?" The maid, Little Jin, asked in surprise.

"Go to sleep. You must be dreaming. Tomorrow, you have to get up early to work. Stop messing around." The servant girl beside him, Little Su, turned over and went back to sleep.

Little Jin's nose was extremely sensitive. She believed in her sense of smell, so she put on her outer robes and walked out of the room. The night wind blew by, causing her to shiver. When she came back to her senses and focused her eyes, there was indeed a flame that came out. Black smoke rose from it, and the faint sizzling sound of flames could be heard.

She shook her head, thinking that she was dreaming, but the reality before her eyes was something she could not deny. Just as she was about to open her mouth to shout, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of her and tightly covered her mouth, making her unable to breathe.

"How talkative!" With that, the servant girl Xiao Jin's neck was instantly broken, her entire body was powerless, and she instantly died.

The maid, Xiao Su, was just woken up by Xiao Jin and was unable to fall asleep for a while. She heard the noise coming from the door and when she looked out, she discovered that Xiao Jin was being pushed down to the ground by a strange man in black. This was not a light scare. He could not help but shout, "A thief has broken into the mansion and killed people!"

Following her sharp shout, the flames at five places within the Jiang's Mansion simultaneously ignited, startling everyone within the Palace awake.

Madame Bai was also woken up by the noise, the recent unease in her heart was finally fulfilled. She calmly put on her clothes as the Little Jiang Feng turned over noisily. The Madame Bai comforted her softly and the little fellow went back to sleep. Madame Bai looked at her son, and the corner of her mouth revealed a comforting smile, but when she pushed open the door and walked out, that smile of hers had already disappeared into the horizon, and in exchange for that resolute and resolute expression, it was something that was rarely seen. From the looks of it, she had long since mentally prepared herself …

What about later?

And then we'll see how it breaks down in the next round.
