To the east of the city, there is a house with beautiful environment.
The rain stopped, and Bai Jiahe stood under the eaves dressed in Tsing Yi, looking at the scenery in the courtyard that had been washed by the rain, with a frown on his face.
In the corridor not far away, Ning Chu, dressed in white, was about to pass by. After spotting her, he thought for a while and walked over, saying softly: "Let me go and talk to Jianwen."
Bai Jiahe shook his head and said: "I have always regarded Jianwen as a child. It was only after Huangsonggu that I realized that he already had his own ideas, but Yingu was obviously taking advantage of him. He was lazy in cultivation at the beginning, and now he is not in the whirlpool at all. The ability to maneuver.”
Ning Chu sighed softly and frowned: "When we left Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, our uncle once warned us to be optimistic about Zhang Shanshan. Her feelings for Jianwen are not pure."
Bai Jiahe's eyes flashed with a hint of solemnity and he said: "Jianwen seemed to be in a bad state after he went out with her yesterday. Maybe Murong Xiuming and the others found him. If something bad happened to everyone because of Jianwen..."
Ning Chu finally understood why Bai Jiahe was worried. He held her hand and comforted her softly: "Zhang Shanshan has been staying by his side. Didn't we already expect some things? Master and Mrs. Wang consider things more comprehensively than us. If something goes wrong on Jianwen's side, it would just be enough for him to see Zhang Shanshan's face clearly."
Bai Jiahe's face brightened slightly and he whispered, "How is it? Is Senior Brother Mu Qing interested in that position?"
Ning Chu said helplessly: "Everyone wants different things. He just wants revenge now. As for what will happen next, the masters and the others have not persuaded him. I am afraid they can only take it one step at a time."
Bai Jiahe quite agreed and said softly: "Senior Brother Mu Qing probably wants to go further on the path of spiritual practice, but worldly rights have become a hindrance to him."
Ning Chu looked at the horizon. The low rain clouds had not dispersed yet. The air pressure in this city was pitifully low.
"Why don't we want to focus on our own affairs, cultivate alchemy, and practice breathing and breathing, but Wanhua Valley is in the southern border. If something happens, I just hope that there will be a good result after calming down."
…
The rainwater outside the eaves rolled down like a curtain of beads, and when it splashed on the blue stone steps, the corners of the red dress in the reflection of the puddles also rippled.
"It's raining intermittently, it's not pleasant at all." Murong Jing held the mask in her hand and turned to look aside, "You really don't want my help?"
Mu Qing had just come over from Shaoyao, looked up at the fading sky, silently counted the time, and said with a hint of impatientness on his face: "Three days have been wasted. The further back and forth, the harder it is to have such an opportunity. Today I’m going to bother you with the late meeting.”
"snort."
Murong Jing heard the footsteps in the distance, put on the mask again, nodded and said: "Yin Yi has already found me, and they did not give an order to leave Suzaku City. As for Dugu Wei, please tell Xie Henhe not to show up during this period. , leave other matters to me."
Mu Qing turned his head and glanced at her, "If we are overthinking, you don't have to be so embarrassed. In short, during this period, just let them come to me. Don't worry too much."
Murong Jing raised her slender eyebrows: "Are you busy with me?"
Mu Qing said softly: "I am treating you well. After all, you are still under the control of Hidden Valley, right?"
When Murong Jing saw Mu Qing's eyes falling meaningfully on her face, she took two steps back and realized that what he was looking at was the mask on her face.
It was only then that two female figures appeared at the corner. Huaifenghua and Wang Yeqing were walking towards this side. Murong Jing knew that they were about to take action and warned: "This is the first time I have seen someone waiting for someone to plot against me." Yes, if it really happens, is it still too late?"
Huaifenghua listened and replied: "A wise man may make a mistake after thinking a lot. Naturally, it is impossible for us to guess their thoughts? But shouldn't you bless us? They won't take action?"
Murong Jing pouted. According to her past personality, she would have grabbed Murong Xiu Ming's guys and beat them up. But now that she knew that this was a choice that everyone deliberately left to Hidden Valley, she could only watch all this in silence. happened.
"Be careful."
"Shaoyao, I'll leave it to you."
After leaving the residence, Mu Qing first met with Ning Chu and the others under the leadership of Wang Yeqing.
When a group of five people arrived near the south gate of the inner city, it was already close to garrison time. On a cold rainy day in early autumn, Suzaku City was once again shrouded in misty night.
After Wang Yeqing led the people wearing bamboo hats into a shop to see what was for sale, a voice sounded inside, as if he was relieved: "You are finally here, I thought Hidden Valley would stop you."
Snap——
Candlelight sounded in the space, and Zhang Zhiyuan called everyone to approach the table.
Seeing Mu Qing observing the surroundings, Wang Yeqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, I sold this shop a long time ago. There is a large warehouse behind it. If you really want to hide people, a hundred people can be hidden there." .”
The houses in the east of the city are in front of them. Mu Qing has a clear understanding of Wang Yeqing's wealth these days.
Zhang Zhiyuan placed the candlestick on the table, and the light spread out, illuminating a map with many marks on the table.
Zhang Zhiyuan pointed to one of the white pagodas and said: "The tunnel seal of Baita Temple has been quietly cleared, but my suggestion is to go directly from the city lord's mansion, rescue the people, and then transfer to the sky prison through the tunnel."
"There is no problem with the plan up to this point, but after that, Geshan proposed to go through the tunnel of the Tianlao, because they will then send away a group of other people who are imprisoned, and they can also make up for our shortage of manpower."
It is worth mentioning that in the past half month, except for Mu Qing and the others who abided by the agreement and did not spread Bai Hao's evil deeds, not one of the more than 200 people who escaped that time spoke about what they had suffered in the inner city. .
And because Bai Hao was planning the mysterious thing, he didn't even touch the group of people who had become medicine men.
This gave Xing Fei and the others the opportunity to send away three batches of people in succession in more than half a month.
Mu Qing had been learning about the movements in the inner city recently. He wanted to nod subconsciously, but suddenly he understood something.
Huaifenghua on the side sighed softly and pointed out the key point: "Geshan is trying to repeat his old tricks and plans to use these to cover us. Maybe, he will even find some people to temporarily replace the twenty-three people we are about to rescue. .”
Ning Chu and Bai Jiahe both sounded concerned and felt a little heavy.
Wang Yeqing looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Before entering the inner city, one thing that needs to be explained is that there has always been intimacy in this world. We will not hurt those people now and will not in the future, but we have only one mission tonight, to rescue The twenty-three people in the Nether Flame Array space."
"I agree with what Mrs. Wang said." Zhang Zhiyuan attracted everyone's attention again and said in a deep voice: "It was much more difficult to escape in the enemy's territory to save people. In the past, it was much more difficult to kill people. We not only have to rescue twenty-three old friends and comrades, we all We also need to leave the inner city safely, other than that, nothing else should be within our consideration range."
Mu Qing's heart trembled slightly, and he decided: "After rescuing the people, take the tunnel. Just the south gate, how do we need to cooperate?"
Zhang Zhiyuan continued: "After we come out of Baita Temple, Xing Fei will escort us for a while, and then it will be me and..."
Ning Chu and Bai Jiahe looked at each other and stood up in unison.
Zhang Zhiyuan nodded, "Okay, just you two and me."
Zhang Zhiyuan looked at Mu Qing and said: "The location of the south gate is indeed important. You can leave only after there is a disturbance."
The six people in the shop discussed for a while, imagined all the dangers they would encounter, and then left the shop.
Walking in the deserted alley, Huaifenghua frowned and turned to look behind her. Ning Chu, who was following her, tightened his expression and said in a serious voice: "Master, what's wrong?"
"It's strange, that feeling has disappeared." There seemed to be a line of sight vaguely sweeping over her body in the darkness. Huaifenghua was wary, but she still smiled and said to her apprentice: "If you encounter a situation later, remember to protect Jiahe."
The wall of the inner city was three feet high. With their skills, they sneaked into the inner city almost effortlessly, and then headed straight towards the city lord's palace.
"It was so dangerous...she almost discovered me."
Murong Xiuming leaned against the wall. After adjusting his collar, he looked at Heng Yu who had just held him and smiled: "It's really exciting. It seems that that boy Bai Jianwen didn't trick us, and he didn't need the cold air. Yudi has been waiting here for so long.”
The corner of Hengyu's mouth twitched slightly. They had been warming hot wine in a restaurant across the street. If he hadn't reminded him several times, they might have missed it.
"Although Lord Suzaku is not traveling with them, don't forget that there are two real extraordinary experts among them. It will be easy to be discovered if our eyes fall on them for a long time."
After Hengyu gave a reminder, he asked without hiding the confusion on his face: "Zhang Shanshan conveyed very little information. We only know that they will sneak into the inner city. What do you want to do?"
He looked at the uncontrollable excitement on Murong Xiuming's face and frowned: "At least they are targeting the City Lord's Mansion, are they planning to sabotage their actions?"
Murong Xiuming snorted coldly and said: "You underestimate me! He Mu Qing has acted without permission again and again. The debt has not been settled with him yet. Moreover, he does his thing and we do ours. I don’t want to specifically hold them back.”
Hengyu narrowed his eyes, as if he remembered something, and a trace of resistance flashed deep in his eyes.
"Let's go!" Murong Xiuming patted him on the shoulder and said proudly: "Maybe he and Bai Hao will hurt both sides, and we can end this chaos directly."
At the center of the underground formation in the City Lord's Mansion, Bai Hao looked across the iron fence, scanning the people huddled in the corner one by one, and finally stopped on a man before nodding with satisfaction. After turning off the mechanism, the walls reset. Creak looked at a dark corner somewhere and said, "Tonight is the fifth formation."
Cao Jin revealed half of his face in the shadows and said coldly: "The recent situation has been unusually calm. Don't you think someone under your command has a problem?"
Bai Hao sneered: "As long as the blood sacrifice formation is successful, they will be nothing more than my blood food. After the fifth formation pattern is carved, it will be the formation eye, right?"
Cao Jin took a deep look at him and said: "The five formation eyes in the outer city are for the five elements. The formation eyes have yin and yang. This Nether Flame Formation is the natural yang eye, and the yin eyes need to measure the death energy."
Bai Hao thought thoughtfully and asked curiously: "Back then, Wuzong arranged the battlefield, and blood energy was everywhere, but what is the Yin-Yang Formation Eye?"
In the darkness, Cao Jin was silent for a while, and then said leisurely: "The emperor of the human race has strong luck, and he is a balancing eye. But you are a million miles away."
"Hmph. Stop talking nonsense. After I absorb the blood food, let's carve the formation pattern together."
