Gu Xiao did not speak, but from the solemn look in his eyes, one could see the young man's state of mind.
Indeed, with solemn hesitation in his eyes, Gu Xiao was wavering in his heart. He wanted to continue to track down He Ji's whereabouts, but there was something more important at the moment... The generals from the Yanbei Camp had already entered the city, which meant that The killer ambushing outside Yunlai Inn may strike at any time.
Compared with Mr. Yun alone, in Gu Xiao's heart, the generals of the Yanbei camp are equally important. They can control the 100,000 Yanbei troops outside Yanbei City. Once they are lost, the Yanbei armies will lose their chief generals. The Northern Jin Dynasty took advantage of the situation, and it was not only the people who suffered. Once Yanbei was lost, Qiyun's door opened wide.
Gu Xiao didn't know the identity of Mr. Yun. What he was weighing in his mind at this moment was that he was currently incapable of doing anything else. If he went to track down He Ji's whereabouts, then Yun Lai would have to ask General Sun to try to inform the Yanbei generals to take precautions at the inn. , but can these generals stop the killer outside Yunlai Inn...
Jiang Ningxue saw the young man's hesitation in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she knew what the young man was thinking. Without waiting for the young man to speak, she had already opened her mouth to relieve Gu Xiao's worries: "Why don't you let me and Brother Chi Xin track down He Ji's whereabouts? Go finish what you are worried about first, and if we find out any news, Brother Chi and I will try to inform you."
"No, that masked person's martial arts level is extremely high. If Miss Jiang and Brother Chi have another misunderstanding, what should I do?"
It's not that Gu Xiao didn't think of this method of splitting up operations, but He Ji was no longer the impulsive person in Hejiabao, not to mention that he had the masked man beside him to help him. It was his own negligence that had trapped Miss Murong. If there is another difference between Jiang Ningxue and Yandianguo this time...
Deep in Gu Xiao's heart, he had always blamed himself for the disappearance of Lin'er, Uncle Li and others. Jiang Ningxue's words gave the always decisive young man a slight hesitation.
The young man looked forward and backward, but the concern in his words was heard by Jiang Ningxue. Although he lowered his head and smiled slightly, it was covered by the scarf, but it made the chill in his body subside slightly. He knew that the young man had a great intention... This time, he felt hesitant and worried in his heart. , it is your own safety.
Thinking of this, he spoke softly: "In this world, there may be many things that require choices. If you look forward and backward, you will miss good opportunities. You...just follow your heart."
Suddenly a spring breeze blew through the alley. It seemed that with the help of Jiang Ningxue's soft voice, it penetrated into the young man's heart and blew away the hesitation. Then he looked sideways and met the woman's eyes. At this moment, there was no chill in the eyes at first sight, and it seemed like a spring breeze. The calm lake surface stirred by the waves brings peace of mind.
Suddenly I remembered that when my master was talking to me about rumors in the world when he was a child, he mentioned that a reclusive master once said: "When you are in doubt, you can ask the spring breeze. The spring breeze is silent, follow your own heart..."
That time and that moment, exactly this moment.
The young man's frown finally unfurled, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the dimple on his lips was deeply sunken. He murmured several times, his mind gradually calmed down, he raised his eyes and said, "Just follow Miss Jiang's method, let's go separately... General Sun , can you try to inform the generals to take precautions early? Miss Jiang and Brother Chi Xin can continue to trace the whereabouts of He Ji according to the clues, and we will meet up at Yunxiang Pavilion in the evening."
General Sun Pian set out according to his plan. Although Jiang Ningxue only got together with the young man for a short time, she was reluctant to leave him, but she was willing to help him because of the great righteousness in his heart. She immediately turned around and was about to leave, when she heard a warning voice coming from behind her: "Don't pay attention. Don’t fight with the masked man.”
He also covered his face, did not look back, and smiled warmly.
The young man watched as the figures of Jiang Ningxue and others disappeared into the alley, and turned his eyes towards Yunlai Inn. He thought of the mysterious Tongguxuan again, looked up at the sky, counted the hours silently, and whispered to himself: "I want to take a look. , how deep is the water in Yanbei City?"
The moment he spoke, the young man's figure suddenly disappeared. When the spring breeze entered the alley again, the young man's figure had disappeared... A moment later, until there was no more movement in the alley, the gate of the house adjacent to the empty house suddenly opened slightly. , Yin Zhao's gaze shot straight out, looking towards where Gu Xiao and the others were far away.
After making sure that the young man and his group were far away, the gaze disappeared as the courtyard door closed, and turned to the people inside. The owner of the sinister gaze seemed to be proud and said: "Senior is still more resourceful, this kid is a bit young after all. .”
The person behind him didn't seem to care about the compliments of the person who was looking at him. He just stared admiringly at the outside of the courtyard. It wasn't until he was having a cup of tea that he heard the noise in the room behind him.
The three people bundled inside the house spoke softly.
"There is no need to struggle in vain. He has left. You can rest assured and wait for a few more days. When the two of us successfully leave Yanbei City, you will naturally be safe."
The moment he spoke, a burst of true energy burst out from the fingertips of both hands behind him, reaching the shoulders of the woman who was still struggling to get up in the room.
This zhenqi seemed to be silent, but when it hit the woman, it caused her body to sway, and she collapsed weakly. Fortunately, there were two people beside her, so she did not fall to the ground.
Even though she fell to the ground, the woman seemed unwilling to give in. Her charming eyes were filled with anger as she looked at the person at the door. Although the emotion is angry, there is a bit of cowardice in it, making people look at it and still feel pity.
The person at the door didn't seem to be afraid of the woman's gaze and responded calmly. However, the person who had been peeking outside the courtyard earlier saw the woman's charming eyes and couldn't restrain the desire in his heart. He couldn't help but move forward and approached the person at the door. For a moment, I heard him speak.
"Beside that young man, I don't know where such a woman came from. I advise Brother He not to have those dirty thoughts, but to remember that the most important thing right now is to get out of Yanbei City."
The words were cold, but every word hit He Ji's heart hard. He realized for a moment and was secretly shocked. I don't know when Na Mu Xiaozi had such a woman beside him. Her charming skills made it difficult for people to guard against her. If it weren't for the masked person, If you speak up in a timely manner, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble again just now.
"Xiao Nizi, when I leave Yanbei, I will torture you again."
He Ji bitterly retreated, and the masked man looked at his retreating back. Worry appeared in his single eyes again. He didn't know whether it was because things in Yanbei were becoming increasingly difficult to control, or because he was worried about the missing young man, until he arrived in the courtyard. Thinking again of the sound of footsteps, the worry in the masked man's eyes was gone, instead he was on guard.
Zhen Qi came out from the fingertips behind him again and swept through the room. The three of them fell into coma again. Seeing that several people were unconscious, the masked man glanced slightly and spoke coldly behind him.
"I didn't expect you to be quite capable and find me in Yanbei City."
The visitor stopped, bowed to the masked man who had never looked at him, and said respectfully: "Elder Yi is serious, but... there are rules in the sect, and the young master is in Yanbei City, why didn't the elder not do it? I went to pay homage to the young master. If it were not a coincidence, my subordinates discovered the whereabouts of the elder..."
Although their words and deeds were respectful, there was a hint of disdain. These members of the Golden Sword Sect have been away from the Golden Sword Sect for many years. Although they have heard of the name of the sword-guarding elder of Zhuque Pavilion, they have never seen his skills. He is clearly in Yanbei City. However, he did not obey the orders of the young master, so how could the people of Jindao sect bow to him?
"You mean, if you hadn't informed me in time, my whereabouts would have been discovered by that young man?"
There was a cold flash in the eyes of the masked man, and the aura around him instantly covered the small courtyard. The cold meaning not only made the tender green that had just been broken by the spring breeze tremble, but also made the disrespectful Jin Dao disciple's heart tremble. This Then he remembered that he was facing the top position of the sword-guarding elder of Zhuque Pavilion, the King of Hell who was avoided by everyone in the sect.
After sweeping away the disrespect in his previous words, the visitor no longer had any intention of slacking off. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I don't dare. It's just that the young master has sent Elder Xu to pass down the order. Everyone in the city must be ready to take action at any time."
"The master of the sect respects me. Don't use Young Master or Xu Mo to pressure me. Tell me when and how they want to do it." The worry in the eyes of the masked man reappeared, and then he turned to the person who came and asked. .
When the visitor saw that Elder Yi's tone had softened slightly, he was overjoyed. If the King of Hell was here to take charge, half of the matter would have been done, and there would be no need to worry about it. So he respectfully said, "In reply to the elder, when will we take action?" , We still need to wait for the order from the sect. As for what it is, my subordinates don’t know the details. They only vaguely know...that it is related to the guard general of Yanbei City."
Hearing this, Yi Qi had already guessed something in his mind, and pretended to be surprised: "I see, that's it, okay, I understand."
Intimidated by the aura surrounding Shicai Yi, the people of the Golden Sword Sect had long thought of retreating. They immediately bowed and said, "In that case, I will retreat first and go back to the Young Master to report what happened to the elder."
Yi Cui's eyes grew colder, and murderous intent was beginning to show, but his tone of voice was gentle when he spoke: "That's fine, you can report it to Young Master first, and just say that I, Yi Cui, will follow your orders."
The members of the Golden Knife Sect were very happy, and they were already thinking about themselves in their hearts.
If you find out the whereabouts of this King of Hell, you will definitely be rewarded after returning to Tongguxuan.
Turning around for a moment, I saw from the corner of my eye that the green sprouting from the corner of the small courtyard was being cut by the invisible force, causing the sprouting green buds to slump down...
His pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly looked back. All he could see in his eyes was Yi Qi Qi waving his sleeves gently and withdrawing his moves. What he saw again was that the colorful scene gradually turned into a grayish white.
He Ji, who had gone back to his room to rest, heard the commotion in the courtyard. The moment he pushed the door open, he saw the scene of the Jin Dao disciple's separated heads. Shock appeared in his eyes. If it hadn't been for this Jin Dao disciple to get ahead of the young man and his group. , informing himself and Senior Yi to leave, the two of them had already exposed their whereabouts.
Not only was Yiqiu beheading the members of the Golden Knife Sect puzzled by this, but he also became more wary. The moment the head fell to the ground, his chest had already exerted all his internal strength, and his eyes were solemnly looking at the blade with the erect face.
"What, you don't understand why I took his life?" Yi Fu knew that He Ji next to him would be suspicious if he saw him killing someone, but at the moment when he was tempted to kill, he had already thought of a way to deal with it, and his eyes Move slightly and ask questions indifferently.
He Ji was trembling in his heart at this moment. He thought that even if his arms were healthy, he would not be able to resist the move just now. What's more, he is a disabled person now. If the other party really attacks, how will he deal with it.
Thinking of this, he quickly put on an ugly smile and said, "Senior, of course he has his reasons for killing him."
When he spoke, not only was his voice trembling, but He Ji could also feel that his smile was probably uglier than crying, but in order to stabilize Yi Qi, he had to do this.
"If he leaves, the whereabouts of you and me will be known to everyone in the Jindao Sect in Yanbei City. How do you know if any of these people have evil intentions and would trade you and me for the glory and wealth?" Yi He told He Ji, whose expression had changed, about the response he had already thought of.
As expected, after hearing the masked man's words, He Ji's expression softened slightly and he doubted the truth: "Isn't the senior also a member of the Golden Sword Sect? Why do you have such distrust of those in your own sect?"
"It was because I saw the ugly faces of these people in the door that I had no choice but to take this step. My mission is to escort you north. You must remember it." Yi Qi's expression remained unchanged and he spoke calmly.
He Ji's eyes were cold, but he did not dare to look directly at Yi Qi's face. When he was in Hejiapu, he had heard his father talk about the incident in the Golden Knife Sect. He seemed to have some complaints about Wang Yan's recruitment, so he responded. After hearing Yi's words, he finally calmed down, thought about it, relaxed, and nodded slightly, as if he believed Yi's words.
"Let's collect this person's body first and hide it here safely. The young man and his group would never have thought that we would appear in the place they had investigated."
Yi Qi knew that the doubts in He Ji's heart had not been eliminated, but at least he had been stabilized. He turned his gaze to Yanbei City and said to himself: "Back then, you were only inferior to Mr., and you had a reputation of unparalleled intelligence. I don't know if you can I had predicted that the water in Yanbei City would become increasingly muddy..."
