Facing the umbrella bearer who suddenly appeared in front of everyone, Lin Manliu cautiously grasped Shan Yexing around his waist.
He silently stared at the black man in front of him. This man must have colluded with Wenjian Lake for a long time. He first lied to the old liar to go boating to discuss matters, and then made a big move in the lake.
If he is allowed to succeed, today's old liar may die here! Seeing that Ye Dangting and the other three were silent, Ye Chengzhu smacked his lips and said, "Brother Dangting, it's hard to find him in the city..."
"See you again now to finish the competition in the lake?" Ye Dang snorted and looked sideways at Ye Chengzhu.
"Listen to me, brother... In the current situation, I still have to argue with you..." Ye Chengzhu sneered.
As he spoke, he held the old bamboo umbrella in his hand and slowly walked towards the three of them. When Ye Dang heard his movements, he also moved. He first extended a hand to the boy in a short shirt.
Lin Manliu understood immediately and thrust his right hand behind him. Chun Chuangdie unsheathed his sword and handed it to the old liar.
Before Ye Dang could hear what he said, he immediately grabbed Taoist Shen's hand and ran towards the side of the street. According to the previous arrangement, if they were in danger, they would evacuate first and wait for Ye Dangting to come find them later.
Seeing the boy in short shirt and the little girl with braids retreating, Ye Chengzhu ignored them and just stared at Ye Dangting's figure, ready to take action at any time.
It was only a few breaths later that the boy and girl escaped into the deep alley. . . Downstairs of the original Beicheng archway, as the bamboo umbrella flew into the sky, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard.
The Qingzhu Lang in Ye Chengzhu's hand was already unsheathed, and the slender sword body was wandering beside him, flashing with a dazzling white light.
In the hands of the opposite yellow-shirted figure, the Spring Window Butterfly also lit up with a green sword light in the night.
The two of them came into contact several times, using their weapons to forcefully break through each other's moves, and then fighting with each other's strength.
It seems that the winner will be determined within a few moves, and everyone wants to deal with the other as soon as possible! But how could two people with the same mind not understand each other's inner thoughts and let the opposite person succeed?
. .
"Brother Dangting, your swordsmanship has regressed so much. How did you kill Liu Mei?" Ye Dangting was speechless, urging the green sword in his hand to slash at the waist of the black shadow.
The sword is as powerful as Huanglong!
"Isn't it Liu Mei who wants to die? I let you take such a big advantage on purpose?" While speaking, Ye Chengzhu first waved the green bamboo mand in his hand to block the sword light, and then swept his body back.
The yellow-robed figure stepped on the ground, then jumped into the air and chased in the direction of the black shadow.
The green sword light in his hand did not stop there, pointing directly at his face! After Ye Chengzhu stabilized his body, he changed from holding the sword with one hand to holding the sword with both hands, and put the sword at his side with all his strength.
With such an appearance, it was almost as if his entire body was exposed to Ye Dangting's sword. But before the yellow-robed figure could move forward, the two hands that had previously dragged the sword were already moving forward, and Qingzhulang followed him.
The dazzling white light seemed to sweep out a half-moon in front of him. Drunk invitation to the moon! Just as the white light flashed, a violent aura burst out from it, as if where the half-moon struck, it would swallow up everything.
Ye Chengzhu and his Qingzhu Lang radiated coercion, forcing Ye Dangting to avoid their sharp edges.
The moment Chuchuang Diecai collided with Qingzhulang, the yellow-shirted figure immediately flew out upside down. Facing Ye Dangting's retreat, Ye Chengzhu changed his offensive, flew in the direction of Ye Dangting, and chased after him.
"I want to use this to delay time... I wonder how far your useless disciple can run!" Ye Chengzhu sneered.
Ye Dangting retreated to the eaves of a roof, with the green sword shadow standing in front of him, waiting for the opponent's murderous move.
. . . . . . At the same time, in the streets and alleys in the north of Yangzhou City, a boy in a short shirt grabbed the little girl with braids behind him and ran away.
The two of them tried their best to find some alleys that almost no one passed by, and only crossed the street when they were sure that there was no one.
"You can't run far like this..." Shen Xiaodao gasped.
"Now that the man appears in the north of the city, his men will definitely be exploring the area and find a place to rest later!" The boy in a short shirt responded.
"Ahead...stop..." Hearing the little girl behind him speak again, Lin Manliu had no choice but to plunge into the alley again and stopped.
After supporting Director Shen against the wall, the young man in a short shirt stood in a half-squatting position, always alert to the two entrances to the alley.
If someone comes here suddenly, he can immediately grab the little girl and run away. After breathing heavily for a few times, Chief Shen Xiaodao seemed to have regained some energy. His colleague, who gritted his teeth, put one hand on the ground to sit up.
She took out the stones she had not thrown before from her sleeves, looked at the young man in short shirt in front of her seriously, and gave a questioning look.
Lin Manliu said nothing, closed his eyes and nodded. Then the little girl with braids rolled up the sleeves of her Taoist robe and threw stones at the ground.
mountain view
The method of “throwing stones to ask for directions”! The extremely ordinary stone was thrown on the ground without any abnormality.
Taoist Shen Xiao, who was throwing stones, could no longer maintain his previous sitting position and fell to the ground.
The boy in short shirt was shocked and hurriedly helped him up.
"Go to the northeast...two streets away..." A slight voice came from the little girl's mouth. Lin Manliu immediately carried her behind him and ran in the direction she said.
Following the direction of the person who asked for directions, the young man in short shirt found the designated courtyard. But looking at the decoration in front of the door and the slightly flickering firelight in the courtyard, it means that there are people living in the house here.
Lin Manliu couldn't care so much. When he was walking through the streets earlier, he had already heard some rapid footsteps not far away.
It is very likely that he is the evil person mentioned in Ye Dangting's words. If he is attacked, it is still possible for him to escape alone, but at this time, he is still carrying this Taoist priest Shen.
. . The boy in a short shirt quickly climbed over the courtyard wall. When you first enter the house here, you are in a willow tree. The whole body is covered with yellowing willow branches. Some extend from the courtyard wall and hang outside the courtyard, while others hang casually next to the roots of the trees.
The two of them also used these dense wickers to cover their figures. Lin Manliu opened a small piece of wicker and began to look at the furnishings and layout of the courtyard.
The courtyard here is not big, but both the scenery and the houses in the courtyard are very complete, just like those small courtyards carefully arranged by merchants.
It is specially provided for those beloved concubines or unknown people. Earlier, outside the courtyard, the boy in a short shirt saw subtle lights coming from the small pavilion in the lake in the courtyard.
It was already night, and Lin Manliu saw a man sitting in the pavilion, motionless for a long time. suddenly!
A breeze blew across the young man's face. At this moment, the man in the pavilion raised his head and seemed to be looking at Lin Manliu's position.
The boy in short shirt immediately removed his hand from pushing aside the willow branches and hid behind the tree. Could it be that he was discovered by the man in the pavilion?
But then the wickers on Lin Manliu's head began to sway with the breeze blowing on his face.
The sound of friction between willow leaves was also heard. The man sitting in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake sighed, then stretched his waist, and then some muffled sounds came from his mouth.
It's like sitting for a long time to relax your muscles and bones. Lin Manliu thought to himself that it might be safer to take Taoist Shen away from here before this person came over.
. . But while he was still thinking, the door of this mansion rang.
"Dong, dong dong, dong dong dong!" Rapid knocks kept ringing on the courtyard door. In the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, the man's groaning sound was once again louder than before, as if anger was gradually rising in his heart.
"Who! You're not letting anyone sleep anymore!" The man roared, and walked towards the courtyard gate.
As he passed by the bamboo forest, the boy in a short shirt had his palms firmly planted in the soil, always alert to see if the man would find him and Shen Xiaodao.
But the man just walked towards the courtyard gate with a little hasty steps. He had just opened the courtyard door when he started yelling: "Why are you knocking at night! You're not letting anyone sleep!"
"Have you seen any suspicious signs entering the house?" Someone asked outside the door.
"Catch the thief and call the government. What are you doing to me?" the man continued to curse.
"I hope you will cooperate!" The person outside the door seemed a little unhappy, and his tone became a little serious.
"What do you think..." the man groaned. As soon as these words came out, the scolding business man before seemed to have become a wealthy man in the world.
From the sound and color of his voice, Lin Manliu felt that this person must be a martial arts practitioner. Only when he exhales and exhales can he have such a powerful aura.
A bad premonition arose in the heart of the boy in a short shirt. The man who owns this courtyard is not an ordinary person!
"...Then I won't bother you any more!" the person outside the door said immediately. Lin Manliu listened to the conversation between the two and stopped abruptly here. He was about to move his body and lean as deep as possible against the courtyard wall.
The sound of the courtyard door closing sounded, and the boy in a short shirt looked over subconsciously. Found the man. . . He was actually staring at where he was and laughing at him.
Lin Manliu's heart sank and he looked at each other. was discovered. . . Maybe he had already been discovered when he first entered the courtyard.
. . The man was standing under the eaves, and Lin Manliu couldn't see clearly. He could only vaguely see the outline of his eyes and the corners of his smiling mouth.
"Come out, no need to hide!" The voice was somewhat familiar. . . But Lin Manliu couldn't remember where he heard it.
After the boy in a short shirt settled the little girl with braids, he held the Shan Ye Xing tightly around his waist and walked out of the willow tree.
After he walked out of the bushes, the man turned out to be
He said "Huh", also a little surprised. Lin Manliu also saw the man's face clearly at this moment.
It’s Bai Zi from the Golden Crow Sect! ?
"Are you... the one from Yijian Villa, Young Master Liu?" Bai Zi said aloud. Lin Manliu immediately raised his hands and saluted: "Young man Liu Manlin, I have met Senior Brother Bai!"
"I didn't expect that I could still see old friends in Yangzhou City... How did you offend that Quexie person?" Bai Zi said with a smile.
"It's a long story... It may take a while before I can explain it clearly to Senior Brother Bai!" Lin Manliu said awkwardly.
"It's okay! You take the other kid to the house to rest first!" Bai Zi waved his hand, indicating that the boy in the short shirt could help himself.
Lin Manliu immediately bowed again and carried Shen Xiaodao out from under the willow tree. Senior Brother Bai Zi of the Jinwu Sect, Senior Sister Ji Ting once mentioned, is a real gentleman.
He is a role model for the younger generation in the martial arts world. And now that he is still in his courtyard, he can only trust him!
Seeing the boy in a short shirt settling down the little girl, Bai Zi thought for a while and then continued talking to himself.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time since the war in southern Xinjiang. Due to internal arrangements at the time, I could only observe the affairs of your village from a distance. I hope you will forgive me!"
"Senior Brother Bai, don't worry, the situation at that time was already the best!"
"Well... you guys should have a good rest. If someone comes to bother you again, I will take care of it!"
