The three of them returned to the temple shrine with sad faces. We sat down by the campfire again and started talking quietly.

"Sister, should we...leave here now?" Yan Ruoyu looked at Su Qiqi worriedly and asked hesitantly.

"Su'er, that old man surnamed Lin is probably still nearby. He might be waiting for us to fall asleep and come to steal the Fire Dragon Flag again..." Qin Chuan also looked at the outside of the temple with some worry and whispered. own worries.

Su Qiqi looked at the two of them, shook her head slightly, and said: "Forget it, let's wait until dawn before leaving... It's so dark that it's inconvenient to walk at night, and it's easier to be attacked..."

Yan Ruoyu nodded and agreed: "What sister said makes sense, let's just stay the same to cope with all changes..."

Qin Chuan pondered for a while, got up, walked to the door, took a look, and turned around and said, "Okay, let's be more vigilant... You two go to sleep first, I'll keep watch here..."

Su Qiqi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Let's take turns to watch the night...it will be dawn in two hours...you wake us up in an hour...we will take turns to rest so that we can have the energy to go on the road tomorrow..."

After saying that, Su Qiqi and Yan Ruoyu took a nap against the bonfire. Qin Chuan sat near the temple door, holding his sword and watching the movements outside the temple vigilantly.

Fortunately, those crows did not appear again! Lin Quan, that old man, was probably sleepy too. He had gone to hide somewhere to sleep... He probably wouldn't be returning here for a while... Qin Chuan thought about it and felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. He quickly shook his head and used He rubbed his face with his hands to wake himself up again.

"Wow - wow -" the hoarse crow suddenly sounded again. Qin Chuan was startled, jumped up immediately, rushed to the door in a few steps, and looked around for suspicious figures.

Su Qiqi and Yan Ruoyu also heard the shrill crow and ran out quickly.

"What's going on? Is Lin Quan here again?" Yan Ruoyu opened her eyes wide, looked around, and asked nervously.

Qin Chuan looked back at Su Qiqi and Yan Ruoyu, made a silence gesture, and then entered the woods alone with a sword. After a while, a faint sound of fighting came from deep in the woods.

Su Qiqi asked Yan Ruoyu to go back to the temple to guard Vice General Zhang's coffin, and he also entered the woods with a sword, identifying the direction based on the sound, and looking for Qin Chuan's location.

She walked around the woods for a while and finally saw Qin Chuan and a stooped man fighting fiercely. The man's arm seemed to be injured and was simply bandaged with a piece of clothing. Su Qiqi hesitated for a moment, and was about to step forward with her sword to help Qin Chuan capture the enemy, but the man suddenly turned around and ran away.

When Qin Chuan saw Su Qiqi coming, he stopped, put away his sword, and walked towards Su Qiqi.

"That old man Lin Quan saw you coming. He was worried that he couldn't beat us two, so he ran away... Even if he runs fast, if I meet him again, I will make sure he looks good!" Qin Chuan said angrily.

Su Qiqi nodded and said with a slight smile: "Well, let's go back first. Ruoyu is alone in the temple..."

Qin Chuan smiled knowingly, and walked out of the woods with Su Qiqi and walked towards the temple.

In the temple hall, Yan Ruoyu was bored and fiddled with firewood with a wooden stick, staring at the burning bonfire in a daze.

Just as she was in a daze, a dark figure jumped in from the window and hid next to Vice General Zhang's coffin.

"You're back..." Yan Ruoyu stood up in surprise when she saw Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan coming back to say hello.

Su Qiqi smiled fondly and said, "It's a pity that Lin Quan ran away..."

Qin Chuan sat down with some frustration, raised his eyes to look at Deputy General Zhang's coffin parked in the corner, and murmured: "It's still hundreds of miles away from here to Deputy General Zhang's hometown, and we were not even halfway through when we were captured." Lin Quan is eyeing it... This journey may not be peaceful..."

"Yes, the people from Yeyou League may also be making moves in the dark..." Yan Ruoyu also said with some worry.

Su Qiqi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she became inexplicably anxious. She looked around the temple, got up and walked towards the coffin parked in the corner.

When she came closer, she leaned down and observed carefully for a while, then her expression changed slightly, and she said to Qin Chuan and Yan Ruoyu with lip language: "Come and take a look! The coffin lid seems to have been moved..."

"Ah?" Qin Chuan whispered when he heard this, and hurriedly flew over. He also saw something strange on the coffin lid: it turned out to be a tight-fitting coffin, but the lid was slightly tilted, and there were incomplete fingerprints where the dust had fallen. There are still a few bits of red paint-like liquid left on the fingerprints...

Qin Chuan looked closely for a while, then carefully dipped a little bit of the red paint-like liquid with his finger, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, then he said to Su Qiqi's ear with a complex expression: "Lin Quan may be hiding in the coffin." Guess...his right hand was scratched by me just now..."

Su Qiqi's expression changed drastically when she heard this, and she asked Yan Ruoyu to step back. She was about to push the lid of the coffin with Qin Chuan to confirm whether anything unusual happened inside the coffin. Suddenly there was a loud noise, and the coffin lid flew up on its own and fell to the ground on the other side.

Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan and Yan Ruoyu were all startled. They instinctively took a few steps back and looked in the direction of the coffin in surprise.

A rickety figure jumped out of the coffin carrying Vice General Zhang's body, and then used Vice General Zhang's body as a "human shield" and rushed towards Su Qiqi and others.

"Lin Quan! You are so despicable!" Su Qiqi did not expect him to do this, so she dodged and cursed sternly.

Lin Quan smiled evilly and said: "Hahaha! I am not a person who seeks fame and reputation, so how can I care about your abuse! You, on the other hand, should be more careful. If you destroy this kid's body, your Weiyuan Escort Agency will not be able to do it in the future. I am too shameless to hang out in the world..."

After hearing what he said, Qin Chuan gritted his teeth with hatred, but he was helpless and could not do anything. We can only move carefully to avoid damaging the body of Vice General Zhang.

Su Qiqi and Yan Ruoyu were a little calmer. They watched for a while, spotted the opening, and flew forward in tacit agreement to help Qin Chuan attack Lin Quan from the flank.

Lin Quan could not withstand the combined attack of the three men, and was unable to balance the situation at the same time. Forced by Su Qiqi's silver needle, he had no choice but to let go, threw away the body of Lieutenant General Zhang, and tried his best to cope with the encirclement of the three men.

The moment he let go, Qin Chuan caught Lieutenant General Zhang's body with quick eyes and hands, laid him flat in the corner, and then continued to move forward to fight with Lin Quan!

Lin Quan was already injured, and with one against three, he was gradually losing his strength. He rolled his eyes, thought of it, pretended to be defeated and ran away, running towards the bonfire.

Su Qiqi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she saw this: Don't most people run outside the house when they escape? Is there something wrong with Lin Quan's mind? Why did he still run to the inner hall?
