At night, it was extremely quiet.
Outside Jiangling City, close to the river bank, there is a small team stationed here. The leader is naturally Fan Miao, and those accompanying the team are Fan Miao's most trusted subordinates. These people are not affiliated with the Tiandi Alliance, but are well-known in Jiangling City. Loose practice.
Fan Miao has always been a resolute character. As soon as he got the wanted order, he mobilized all the informants lurking in Jiangnan to explore the entire Jiangnan. Naturally, he also received the news these days. At this time, he was leading He led his team towards the cabin.
Most of these casual cultivators are locals from Jiangnan, and their daily source of income is only some silver taels allocated by the Heaven and Earth Alliance. There must be brave men under the heavy reward, which is enough for them to eat, drink, and have fun for a long time. This time I went out to the city to find a rare opportunity, hoping to show off in front of Fan Miao so that I could get more silver coins when the time comes.
There is only one casual cultivator named Wu Tong. He was originally a scholar, but later he couldn't afford to eat, so he took up the path of martial arts. This man can also be regarded as half of Fan Miao's military advisor, so he will naturally know more information. .
Wu Tong delivered the roasted meat to the tent and then asked in a low voice: "Is there really no need to inform Gu Xiaotian?"
Fan Miao cut into the barbecue, ate it with big mouthfuls, and said, "Notifying him will ruin things."
Wu Tong sighed, but finally couldn't hold it back and said: "But in the end, everyone is too white. I'm afraid that Leader Gu will be angry if I do this..."
Fan Miao looked at her sternly and said, "You seem to have been speaking for Leng Qingqiu?"
Wu Tong nodded.
At this time, there is nothing to be taboo about.
Fan Miao twitched her eyebrows and asked, "Why do you keep speaking for Leng Qingqiu?"
Wu Tong took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket. This was the confession recorded by the boy when he was investigating the murder case of the deputy city lord's mansion. Wu Tong didn't know what connection he had to bring it out. He pointed to the confession and explained. Said: "According to the boy's confession, he should have been hiding at that time, but Leng Qingqiu ripped open the wooden board, and finally reinforced the wooden board and put it back. If Leng Qingqiu really wanted to kill someone, kill a and There is no difference between killing ten of them, so why did she keep such a boy and protect him so well?"
Fan Miao twitched the corners of her lips and asked doubtfully: "This alone can prove that Leng Qingqiu did not kill anyone?"
Wu Tong remained silent.
This is really not convincing enough.
Maybe it was just that Leng Qingqiu had a kind heart at that time, or maybe it was more serious that he just wanted to make fun of him. How many times did he mock the court by posting the wanted notice?
Fan Miao stood up, took off the coat hanging on the tent, draped it on his body, lifted his saber, walked out of the tent, clapped his hands and said: "Everyone, please be energetic! When you are full, continue on your way, and try to reach that wooden house by the fifth watch. !」
All the casual cultivators roared.
The money is right in front of me, so I will work hard.
Only Wu Tong made an excuse at this time, saying that it was convenient. After being scolded by Fan Miao twice, he let him go.
Gu Xiaotian was lying in the room, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
He couldn't figure out why the senior sister did this.
However, a homing pigeon landed by the window for no apparent reason.
Gu Xiaotian thought it was a message from Taibai, but he found that it was not Taibai's carrier pigeon. He thought it was the carrier pigeon that had found the wrong way and wanted to blow it away, but instead, the carrier pigeon spun two more times in the air. Continue back to the window.
Helpless, Gu Xiaotian had to remove the letter from the pigeon's lap, and then the pigeon left.
Gu Xiaotian didn't know who would send him the letter besides Taibai and Tiandimeng, but he still couldn't help opening the letter and reading it.
It simply said: "Twenty miles west of Jiangling City, small wooden house."
The person who signed the signature was naturally Wu Tong.
"Wu Tong?"
Gu Xiaotian murmured to this name, carefully recalling that along the way, he didn't know anyone named Wu Tong.
It happened that at this time, Hao Hao heard Wu Tong's name and jumped up from the bed. He quickly put on his clothes, and then he was in a hurry.
They have to run out.
Gu Xiaotian didn't understand why his senior brother had such a big reaction to this name, but he ran out after him.
The two of them ran all the way, and Hao Haocai explained: "This Wu Tong is the military advisor who is following Fan Miao. They must have found the residence of the senior sister. They should hurry up, otherwise the senior sister will die by then and they will not even be able to see each other!"
Gu Xiaotian was shocked and sighed that the letter came in time, and it was not too late to rush over now.
When the time comes, if you really see your senior sister, you must have a heart-to-heart talk with her. If your senior sister really chooses the Leng family, then they will have to fight each other.
It was already five o'clock in the morning. Gu Xiaotian and Hao Hao were walking quickly, and they could see a small wooden house in the distance.
At this moment, there were a lot of footsteps nearby. Fortunately, there were a lot of uncut weeds. Gu Xiaotian and Hao Hao hid around these weeds.
That team was naturally Fan Miao's team. At this time, they had approached the cabin and were stopping in front of the door.
Gu Xiaotian and Hao Hao slowly moved forward on the weeds and were able to hear the words clearly.
Fan Miao stood in front of the cabin door and said loudly: "The thief Leng Qingqiu, if you come out on your own, I will definitely spare your life!"
However, a long time passed and there was no response from the wooden house.
Fan Miao frowned and warned again.
This time, the wooden house made a slight noise and the wooden door opened slightly.
However, the next moment, a flying sword jumped out from the wooden door, piercing Fan Miao's face with lightning speed!
Fan Miao reacted immediately, drew out the long knife from her waist, turned slightly sideways, and slashed the flying sword back.
The wooden house slowly pushed open.
Leng Qingqiu walked out of the wooden house with a cold face, just staring at Fan Miao and the others quietly.
Fan Miao said coldly: "Is this your choice?"
Leng Qingqiu just said coldly, "You never gave me a choice."
As soon as he finished speaking, another man in black wearing a bamboo hat came out from behind the wooden house.
The man in black just stood behind Leng Qingqiu and said softly: "See, what they call justice is just a wanted order."
Leng Qingqiu lowered his eyes, but could not hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Fan Miao put her hand on the knife, and at the same time, everyone behind her was alert.
A big war is ready to begin.
At this time, Gu Xiaotian, who was lying in the weeds, wanted to get up and rush over, but Hao Hao pulled him back and just reminded him: "Don't worry, I'm taking a look."
In front of the wooden house, Fan Miao was naturally the first to take action.
A long sword was unsheathed and heading straight towards Leng Qingqiu, intending to take it down with one blow.
This sword was like a tiger coming down the mountain. Fan Miao had the advantage in terms of her own level. Leng Qingqiu's heart trembled for no reason, and she had a premonition that she would never be able to stop this sword.
This was indeed the case. Leng Qingqiu's flying sword only reached a distance of an inch before facing the fierce sword wind. His sleeves were cut off by the sword wind, revealing his fair skin, and he stepped back several steps.
At this time, the man in black behind him stood in front of Leng Qingqiu.
The man in black waved his hand gently, turning the sword wind into nothingness.
Fan Miao frowned and looked at the man in black in front of her. She really couldn't see what was going on.
The man in black slowly took off his hat, revealing a handsome face.
Fan Miao's pupils dilated and she blurted out three words, "Song Bufan!"
Even Leng Qingqiu was shocked. She originally thought the man in black was a senior of the Leng family, but she didn't know that the man in black who took him all the way was actually Song Bufan, who had turned Taibai upside down!
Song Bufan glanced at the weeds in the distance and said loudly: "Now that you are here, don't lie down anymore. Don't you want to say something when you see me?"
These words were undoubtedly meant for Gu Xiaotian and the other two who were hiding in the weeds.
Gu Xiaotian and Hao Hao stood up from the weeds and walked towards the wooden house step by step.
He stopped in front of the wooden house and looked at Song Bufan, speechless.
Gu Xiaotian clenched his hands into fists and said with grief and anger: "Brother Song, I never thought I would see you again."
Song Bufan smiled slightly at this and said softly: "You have grown up faster than I expected."
Gu Xiaotian ignored this and just put his hand gently on the scabbard, ready to take action at any time.
Naturally, Song Bufan saw this move clearly. At this moment, he just raised his eyebrows and asked, "Want to take revenge?"
"Asking knowingly."
Song Bufan took a few steps forward and walked up to Gu Xiaotian step by step. He looked into Gu Xiaotian's eyes and murmured, "The sword possession in your body seems to have improved a lot."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiaotian's eyes flashed with golden light.
However, Song Bufan just shook his head and said: "Unfortunately it's not enough, it's still a little bit worse."
"You can't avenge your master just yet. You still need to continue to grow."
"When one day you grow up to be invincible, I will stand in front of you and let you take revenge."
After saying that, Song Bufan just turned around gently, walked back to Leng Qingqiu, and whispered: "I've seen you, it's time to hit the road."
Fan Miao saw that they were about to run, so she shouted, and the whole team rushed towards Song Bufan.
However, Song Bufan just waved his hand, and a huge black curtain instantly enveloped the team, and it continued to grow, eventually trapping the entire team in the black screen.
Gu Xiaotian was in a hurry, with a faint golden light lingering all over his body, and his eyes couldn't help but become extremely fierce at this moment, and he wanted to rush forward to fight Song Bufan and avenge his master!
However, Leng Qingqiu shook his head crazily at this moment, shouting no.
Hao Hao still maintained his rationality at this time, reaching out and grabbing Gu Xiaotian's arm to prevent him from moving forward. Chinese website
Leng Qingqiu took a long breath and just said softly, "Junior brother, thank you."
Hao Hao smiled and said, "Senior sister, have you really made your decision?"
Leng Qingqiu was a little embarrassed to express this, and in the end he could only say calmly: "Junior brother, I'm afraid... I have no choice."
Hao Hao was very indifferent to this, and just bowed and said: "Senior sister, this is the last time I call you senior sister. I hope that when we meet again next time, we will not hold back each other."
Gu Xiaotian was a little angry, grabbed Hao Hao's arm and asked, "Brother, why don't you try to persuade me?"
Immediately, he turned his head to Leng Qingqiu, "Senior sister, it's still too late to turn back now."
Leng Qingqiu lowered his eyes, put his hands behind his head, took out the pair of golden hairpins, and gently threw them towards Gu Xiaotian.
Gu Xiaotian took it with one hand, looking puzzled.
Leng Qingqiu said softly: "Keep it safe. If I die in the future, take it with you. If you die, I will take it back myself."
Song Bufan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Gu Xiaotian, I'm waiting for your growth, but don't let me down."
Then, a burst of black smoke rose from the ground.
Leng Qingqiu and Song Bufan disappeared together.
The black curtain spread, and everyone in Fan Miao's team was a little discouraged. Fan Miao was so angry that he chopped the wooden house into pieces with a knife, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Go back to the city."
On the way back to the city, everyone felt a little depressed.
In the shady world at that time, they tried all kinds of methods but could not find a way to break through. In the end, it was only the shady curtain that dissipated on its own.
Especially Fan Miao, this was the first time she was so embarrassed when apprehending a prisoner.
At this time, Wu Tong quietly walked around to the end of the team, found Gu Xiaotian, and said, "Gu Xiaotian, I am Wu Tong."
Gu Xiaotian returned the courtesy and said, "Senior Wu, thank you for your letter."
Wu Tong waved his hand and said: "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. There is something fishy about this matter. I asked you to come here to find out more about it, but now it seems that it has failed."
Speaking, Wu Tong pointed
The golden hairpin in Gu Xiaotian's hand.
Having just been trapped in the dark, Wu Tong couldn't hear or see what was going on outside, but his brain was already smart. Seeing the expressions of Jin Chai and Gu Xiaotian at this moment, he could guess more or less. detail.
Gu Xiaotian nodded silently.
This golden hairpin already represented Leng Qingqiu's decision.
How could this make Gu Xiaotian not feel cold?
Wu Tong thought for a while and decided to tell the doubts he had found out. No one knew what would happen until the last moment. Maybe there would be a turn for the better in this matter?
Wu Tong's heart is much more delicate than that of those casual cultivators, not to mention that his original ambition was to be an official, not to be a casual cultivator and maintain peace in the world.
After hearing this, Gu Xiaotian was startled and asked, "In other words, Senior Sister actually went to save people that day?"
Wu Tong nodded and said: "If my guess is correct, it should be like this."
Gu Xiaotian murmured: "That's what I hope."
