Liu Yan was surprised and uncertain, with a look of hesitation on her face. Wei Xiaobao said: "Sister, the emperor has decided to take action against the Shenlong Sect. How can a mere Shenlong Sect resist the court? If you can help the emperor bring his wife back to the palace, the emperor will definitely reward you." Liu Yan pondered for a while and asked: "My wife is not well-known. How does the emperor know about my wife?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I don't know. The emperor has his own sources of information, which are not something we can inquire about."
Suddenly a white shadow flashed across the hall, and the candles in the hall suddenly went out. Xiang Yan was shocked, and Wei Xiaobao also screamed: "Ghost, there is a ghost!" Liu Yan grabbed Wei Xiaobao with one hand and Xiang Yan with the other, jumped out of the door and rushed into the rain. Xiang Yan said: "Sister, our companion..." Before Xiang Yan finished speaking, Liu Yan shouted: "Shut up!" Xiang Yan did not dare to speak.
Liu Yan took the two of them back to the woods, saw the carriage, threw them into the carriage, sat on the front of the carriage and drove away. Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan looked at each other in the carriage without saying a word. After an unknown amount of time, the heavy rain stopped, and their acupuncture points were automatically untied.
Xiang Yan suddenly touched the sleeve arrow tied to his arm, raised his arm, rolled up his sleeve, and pointed the sleeve arrow outward. There was great hesitation in my heart: "There is a curtain between the carriage and the front of the car, and I don't know if it was aimed at Liu Yan. If by chance I shot Liu Yan in the shoulder, but failed to kill her and only wounded her, I would be dead." Yes!" Wei Xiaobao came close to Xiang Yan's ear, pointed at the sleeve arrow, and whispered: "Why didn't you use this before?" Xiang Yan said angrily: "Forgot."
Xiang Yan rarely fought, but when he did it, he was nervous and his mind went blank. He only rushed forward with the dagger but forgot about the Xiu Jian he took from Obai's house. At this time, Xiang Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Well, if Liu Yan and Xu Tianchuan were fighting, I would have been plotting from the side with arrows in my sleeves. Liu Yan might not have survived. Why do I need to take risks now?"
Wei Xiaobao stuck his head out of the car curtain and asked: "Sister, where are you taking us?" Liu Yan said coldly: "Do you have anything to ask? Just sit in the car and take care of yourself when we get there. You know." Wei Xiaobao retracted his body back into the carriage and said, "Yes." He sat next to Xiang Yan again, grabbed Xiang Yan's left hand, adjusted the position of the arrows in his sleeve, and nodded fiercely, indicating that Xiang Yan could let go. Arrow.
Xiang Yan mustered up his courage and was about to shoot the arrow when he suddenly heard Liu Yan say: "Brother, why are you here?" Xiang Yan hurriedly put down his sleeves and hid the arrow in his sleeves. Depending on the situation, Liu Yan's senior brother said, even if I shoot Liu Yan to death now, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape her senior brother's murderous hand.
The sound of horse hooves came around the carriage, and a middle-aged man's voice said: "I'm worried about you, come and take a look." Liu Yan stopped the carriage and muttered to her senior brother not knowing what they were talking about. After a while, Liu Yan and her senior brother drove the carriage and continued on their way.
The next day, Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan both had fevers due to being exposed to the rain. Liu Yan and her senior brother had no choice but to stay on the road for a day to treat them. According to Wei Xiaobao's inquiries, Senior Brother Liu Yan's name is Deng Bingchun, a bald man in his fifties.
On the third day, Deng Bingchun and Xiang Yan rode eastward, saying they wanted to take Xiang Yan to see the leader. Liu Yanze and Wei Xiaobao were far behind in the carriage, not knowing where they were going. Deng Bingchun took Xiang Yan to the beach. There was already a large ship waiting at the beach. After the two got on the boat and walked for a few days, the ship headed towards an island.
But the trees on the shore are green and the long beach is filled with fine snow-white sand. Deng Bingchun took Xiang Yanzhuan's boat ashore and headed for a mountain peak in the north. After walking for a short time, I saw venomous snakes all over the trees, grass, and roads here and there. Xiang Yan was so frightened that he followed Deng Bingchun closely. But the strange thing is that the poisonous snake doesn't bother them at all.
Deng Bingchun took Xiang Yan to a small stream and walked along it. The water was flowing and the vegetation was fresh, which made him feel relaxed and happy. It's just that Xiang Yan was frightened along the way, fearing that venomous snakes would emerge from the trees and grass. The two walked more than ten miles and came to several large bamboo houses. Deng Bingchun said: "You stay here first and wait for the leader to summon you."
The next day, Deng Bingchun came to the bamboo house to see Xiang Yan and said, "The leader has summoned you, follow me quickly." Xiang Yan followed Deng Bingchun around two hillsides and looked up in the distance to see several large bamboo houses built on the top of the mountain. The mountain road was narrow and difficult to navigate, so Deng Bingchun climbed up to the peak with Xiang Yan in his arms and waited in front of several large bamboo houses.
I saw three young men in white walking over, each carrying a long sword on their back. One person asked: "Deng Bingchun, what does this child do?" Deng Bingchun said: "He came here according to the order of the leader." Three more girls in red clothes came laughing, and they also carried long swords on their backs. A girl smiled and said, "Deng Bingchun, is this your illegitimate child?" She pinched Xiang Yan's face.
Deng Bingchun said: "Young lady is making fun of you. This kid was specially summoned by the leader of the church. I want to ask him something important." Another round-faced girl pinched the right side of Xiang Yan's cheek and said with a smile, "Look at this kid's appearance. He's Deng Bingchun's illegitimate son, you can't rely on him." The last girl pinched Xiang Yan's cheek and said with a smile, "Yes, this baby must be Deng Bingchun's illegitimate son." Xiang Yan was furious, but he didn't dare to move.
