The small river flows slowly under the feet, clear and graceful, coming from the village in the distance, and then flowing silently into the distance.

A group of figures appeared on the edge of the river, and the tall horses grunted impatiently.

Looking at the manor with red walls and green tiles on the highest side of the northwest village in the distance, Li Xuan couldn't help but frown.

Although this is Yangzhou, there are not big rivers and floods everywhere. If he wants to flood the mountains and rivers again, he will have to prepare for at least three days of water storage.

If we really wait until that time, I'm afraid the day lilies will be cold.

The villages in the distance are centered on Zhuangzi, the highest point in the northwest corner, and spread out in all directions in an orderly manner.

Peach trees are planted everywhere, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the fragrance is overflowing, the villages are lined with green water, and it is a Jiangnan scenery.

"My lord, do you want to kill him directly?" Qiu Zhenmu stood aside and suggested to Li Xuan in a low voice.

"Do you dare? I don't dare. Who knows how many people there are and how many traps there are. We only have sixteen people here now. Even if we rush in all of them, we may not be able to kill them all. On the contrary, we will be broken. The loss is huge, I will not do such a loss-making transaction, I must find another way."

Li Xuan shook his head and said in deep thought: "Since water attack is not possible, we can only use fire. In this way, Brother Qiu, I will lead people to sneak in from behind, and then set fires everywhere in the Zhuangzi. At that time , you guys rush in again."

Hearing what Li Xuan said, Qiu Zhenmu immediately stopped: "Your Majesty, are you still leading people to sneak in and set fire? If something happens to Your Majesty, I can't afford it."

"I would like you to go for me, but think about it, with your rough hands and feet, I'm afraid someone will find out if you just do it. At that time, I may have to rush to the village to save you... Okay, let's settle it." Li Xuan looked behind him and said with a serious face: "Zhou Qian, Su Baotong, Zhang Huan, Guo Xing, the four of you go with me, while the others and Qiu Beishen attack from the front. , once you see a fire in the manor, rush in immediately."

"Here!" Everyone present bowed and agreed without any hesitation.

"Let's go!" Li Xuan hit the horse and immediately headed towards the northwest road, not approaching the manor immediately.

In such a secret village, even the most stupid people already know how to set up spies. If they just charge straight in, they might not be discovered before they get close.

Li Xuan and the others made a big circle, even giving up their horses, and finally climbed up using ropes from behind.

Lying on the roof, Li Xuan looked down. He could vaguely see more than a dozen light and dark sentries, intertwined and scattered, almost all blind spots were included in the surveillance range. However, perhaps no one had come for a long time. , these light and dark sentries have obviously slacked off, and there are suddenly many more real blind spots.

This is a village with three entrances. The light and dark sentry at the front has the most people, and the farther back, the fewer people there are.

Not long after, Li Xuan and others appeared behind a rockery. Li Xuan waved to the others, and the other four people immediately scattered in all directions.

Li Xuan did not act rashly. Everyone else was looking at other places in Zhuangzi, but only his destination was the row of gorgeous monasteries at the end of Zhuangzi.

There is no doubt that Ye Wanwan and Wen Bingyan live there.

Li Xuan left the rockery quietly, and between the rocks behind where he was standing, a body could be vaguely seen lying down.

With the help of the wooden pillars in the hall, Li Xuan quickly arrived at the second house on the left, opened the window and jumped in.

Very careful not to make a sound.

There was no one in the room, just black wooden boxes placed one after another.

Li Xuan stepped forward and gently opened the wooden box. Immediately, a whole box of silk and satin appeared in front of Li Xuan.

Other boxes were quickly opened by Li Xuan. Some contained silks and satins, and some contained jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, all of which were valuable items.

The only pity is that there is no money in these things, no copper coins, which is very strange.

How could there be no money? Copper coins, gold, silver, these real hard currencies are nothing here.

Reaching out to grab a piece of silk, Li Xuan took out the fire stick and lit it on fire without hesitation.

Immediately, he used it to ignite several other pieces of silk, and then used the silk to burn the entire room.

Instantly, thick smoke billowed.

Wen Bingyan sat alone at the round table in the room. The white gauze was put aside, and she only wore a light green skirt.

Picking up a white porcelain tea cup and looking at the clear boiled water in the cup, Wen Bingyan's face turned gloomy.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door.

Wen Bingyan immediately put down the water glass, quickly put on the gauze, opened the door and walked out.

As soon as I opened the door, a puff of thick smoke immediately hit my face.

A maid in green clothes immediately stepped forward and reported seriously: "Master, someone set a fire..."

"Kill!" Before the maid could finish her words, there were waves of shouts of killing coming from the direction of the door.

"Send the order and let the outsiders do their best to block it. It won't take long for support to arrive and everything will be over. Okay, is the saint still in the room?" Wen Bingyan looked at the room on the other side. This At that time, she happened to see the saint Ye Wanwan walking out quickly.

"Go and do your work." Wen Bingyan waved the maid away, then quickly walked towards Ye Wanwan.

"Uncle, what happened? Did the officers and soldiers come to the door?" Ye Wanwan's expression was solemn, but also with a hint of murderous intent.

"It's nothing, it's all trivial matters." Wen Bingyan grabbed Ye Wanwan's wrist with one hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about that, just follow me."

Wen Bingyan grabbed Ye Wanwan's wrist and quickly walked towards the main hall. At some point, a corner of the main hall started to burst into flames.

Under the smoke, everything in front of me began to become blurry.

Wen Bingyan had no intention of extinguishing the fire. Instead, she walked directly under the plaque in the middle hall. Just as she was about to touch it, she suddenly seemed to find something. She turned to look at the corner behind and shouted in a low voice: "Who, come out?" .”

In the smoke, a figure wearing a black gold silk robe came out, with a stern face and solemn eyes, he held his hands and said, "Nanchang Li Xuan, I have met you two."

"Are you alone?" Wen Bingyan looked around subconsciously. Although there was a lot of smoke in the room, she was still sure that Li Xuan was the only one.

"I didn't expect to meet you two, but when I saw that there were only two of you, I felt a little itchy for a moment, so I came to ask for help. I hope you will give me some advice." Li Xuan waved her right hand forward. , a soft sword was thrown out directly.

The cold light flickers and the chill is approaching.

"Hey." Two daggers appeared in the hands of Wen Bingyan and Ye Wanwan at the same time, with the same sharpness and the same similar movements. Z.br>

"Uncle, be careful. There is something wrong with this person. He seems to be born with supernatural powers." Ye Wanwan warned Wen Bingyan in a low voice.

The last time she missed with Li Xuan's sword, Ye Wanwan reviewed every move in that battle more than once, and Li Xuan's anomaly was clearly reflected in her own mind.

Li Xuan looked at the two people in front of her, the disdain on her lips was clearly visible.

[Ye Wanwan, a holy girl from the Tianyin Sect, is charming, scheming, and has a perfect innate talent]

[Wen Bingyan, the leader of the Huaiyang Hall of the Tianyin Sect, under the four elders An Rongxiang, the first stage of Xuantai Xiaozhenfeng]

Li Xuan's eyes completely fell on Wen Bingyan, her eyes full of teasing.

Facing Wen Bingyan, who was on a level higher than him, Li Xuan's eyes showed no awe at all, instead she looked eager to try.

"Holy girl, you go first." Wen Bingyan stretched out her hand to stop Ye Wanwan who was trying to fight alongside her, but her eyes were fixed on Li Xuan.

"You can leave at will, don't worry, I will stop you." A sinister smile appeared on Li Xuan's lips, making Ye Wanwan hesitate for a moment.

"Let's go!" Wen Bingyan stretched out her hand and patted her

, I don’t know where the photo was taken, but at that moment, a secret door suddenly appeared on the side wall.

Before Ye Wanwan could react, Wen Bingyan had already pushed her in.

At this moment, the cold sword light flashed.

Astonishingly, Li Xuan took advantage of Wen Bingyan's distracted moment and silently wiped the back of her neck.

But at this time, Wen Bingyan looked like her plan had succeeded, and the two daggers in her hands had already violently twisted towards Li Xuan's soft sword...

In the blink of an eye, Wen Bingyan retreated like lightning, but her left hand had already tightly covered the left side of her neck, causing blood to splatter.
