Just as the two of them went to take Yuerong away, without saying a word, a man in black behind him inserted a steel knife into their bodies, and the two executioners died on the spot. Yuerong hurriedly got up from the ground, and when she saw the man in black, she said, "Manager Li!" This man was Li Yuankai, a loyal man of Tianshui Sect. Li Yuankai nodded and said to Yuerong: "It's not appropriate to say more here, just follow me." He hurriedly led Yuerong out of the cell. Less than five feet away from the cell, there was another person standing guard. Hearing the sound, this person stood up and shouted to catch the prison robber. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Yuankai turned back and shot the man with a dart, and the jailer immediately fell to the ground. Still, that cry roused many prison guards. Amidst the roar, dozens of jailers gathered together to chase Yuerong and Li Yuankai.
Li Yuankai and Yuerong hurriedly rushed to the back garden, with the disciples of Tianshui Sect chasing after him. Seeing that he couldn't get rid of everyone, Li Yuankai said to Yuerong: "Young Master, please take one step first, I will cut off the road behind." After saying that, Li Yuankai straightened the veil on his head, raised his knife and faced the people behind him.
Yuerong saw Li Yuankai dealing with the disciples of Tianshui Sect, so he ran towards the garden. The lights in the garden were dim, and the moon just happened to be sneaking among the rockeries and flower shadows. While walking, I suddenly saw lights shining. It turned out to be a night watchman coming with a lantern. Yue Rong leaned down among the flowers. The man passed by without noticing. Yuerong thought to himself: "I am afraid it will be difficult to escape from the current situation. It is better to pretend to be a night watch disciple and mix with the sect to postpone the crisis and plan for the future." Then Yuerong suddenly jumped out of the flowers. , flying body and kicking the night watchman in the chest. The night watchman was immediately kicked backwards, and before he could scream, Yue Rong stepped forward, covered his mouth, and dragged him into the flowers.
After a while, another night watchman came out of the flowers. It was not someone else, but he was dressed in the moonlight. Yuerong held a lantern and walked cautiously towards the moon gate in front. Not long after walking, I heard footsteps coming from behind. Yuerong secretly said: "The thieves have arrived again." When she suddenly turned around and prepared to strike first, it was Li Yuankai who arrived. Yue Rong relaxed his nervousness and asked: "Manager Li, how is the situation?" Li Yuankai was a little stunned when he first saw Yue Rong. He calmed down and took a closer look and said: "The way out has been cleared, but the crisis has not been over yet. You It's good to dress up like this. I'll stay here for a while tonight, and I'll come to greet you tomorrow." Yuerong hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you so much, manager, for your great kindness. I can't repay you." Li Yuankai hurriedly helped Yuerong up and said: "This place is full of dangers, so it's hard to say much. I'll take the first step, and it's best for you to hide quickly." After saying this, Li Yuankai jumped onto the roof and escaped. Yuerong was temporarily relieved when she saw Li Yuankai leaving, then turned around and continued moving forward.
"Stop!" Before he had gone three feet away, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind. Yuerong was suddenly startled, knowing that a disciple of the Tianshui Sect had arrived again. So stop moving forward. People arrived one after another from behind. Listen to the leader shouting and asking: "Have you ever seen a man in black pass by here?" Yuerong heard that the man's voice was familiar, and glanced at it through the light of the lamp in his hand. Yuerong couldn't help but be frightened so that Yuerong hurriedly lowered his head. It turns out that the leader was the Huaqiangke who captured Yuerong and the beauty that day. Yuerong recognized him at a glance. And Yue Rong is now in a mess, and she has changed into the clothes of a night watchman, so the flower gunman didn't pay close attention to who Yue Rong is?
Yuerong lowered her head and whispered back: "The villain has been patrolling here, and I have never seen anyone in black break in."
The Huaqiang leader looked around and said to himself: "You clearly saw the prison robber coming this way, how could you not see him in the blink of an eye?" A disciple next to him said: "It's dark here at night and the roads are complicated, and there are many hiding places for thieves. , please ask Zuo Envoy Zhao to patrol elsewhere quickly. If you delay for too long, the thief may escape." The Zuo Envoy Zhao was not angry and said to Yuerong: "As soon as you discover the whereabouts of the man in black and the prisoner, report it to me immediately. ." Yuerong said simply: "My men obey orders." Yuerong secretly saw Zhao Zuo's group walking away, and then he breathed another sigh of relief. Yuerong turned around and continued walking, and came to peek under the moon door. A faint light came from the lantern in the hand of another guard under the eaves.
Yuerong thought: "This place is secluded and sparsely populated, so it's a good time to hide." So she extinguished the lantern in her hand, threw it aside, and stood under the eaves of the other side to patrol. Listen to the guard on the side asking: "What happened just now? Why was there all the noise?" Yuerong said: "I don't know where a thief came into the church tonight to take a peek. They were driven away by Zhao Zuo envoy and everyone. Now he is fine." The guard said After hearing Yuerong's reply, he and Yuerong stayed on each side of the house and asked no more questions. Yuerong was taking a breather on the side. When he was frightened by sudden changes, he broke out in cold sweat behind him. At this moment, his heart was still pounding, and he spent the night uneasily...
The main hall of Tianshui Sect was filled with unspeakable gloom, and the sunlight seemed to flicker in and out of the room.
"I heard that a lot of things have happened in the world recently, and it seems that the world is going to be in chaos." The leader Long Yin asked Li Yuankai with an indifferent smile.
"The world is already in chaos." Li Yuankai replied.
"What happened?" Long Yin asked with a smile.
Li Yuankai said: "While the leader was in retreat, the Lord of the Skeleton Castle of the Western Regions advanced into the Central Plains. The three great swordsmen, Shanqiao Lotus Leaf Sword, Flame Lord, and Nature Sect Master, were killed one after another. During the period, Yan Zhen caused chaos and reaped the benefits. For a year, this person After swallowing up the sect and destroying the sect, and secretly attacking the Natural Sect, they are trying to take advantage of my Tianshui Sect again."
Long Yin asked with a smile: "Who is Yan Zhen?"
Li Yuankai said: "This man is Yan Qianhe's son."
Long Yinxiao still said indifferently: "He is cruel and ambitious. What on earth is he going to do?" Li Yuankai said: "Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart." Long Yinxiao said coldly: "You can't judge a junior for the time being. Waves." Li Yuankai said: "This person can level the Natural Gate, which shows his ability and must not be underestimated. If Yan Zhen succeeds, it will be a great misfortune for the martial arts community in the Central Plains."
While the two were talking, a messenger suddenly came in and said, "Zhao Po, the envoy on the left, and Lan Chong, the envoy on the right, want to see you." Long Yin smiled. The messenger received the order, and not long after, the two messengers walked into the hall side by side. This left envoy Zhao Po was the one who captured Yuerong and Hongyan. Long Yin smiled and asked, "Do the two envoys have anything important to do?" Zhao Po cupped his hands and said, "For the record, the leader, the two Jinhuo Hall thieves our sect captured recently were rescued by a man in black last night." Long Yin smiled. Asked: "Do you know who did it?" Zhao Po said: "My subordinates are investigating the matter." Long Yinxiao asked again: "Where is the other thief?" Zhao Po said: "That girl is still being detained. In prison, as soon as the leader speaks, his men will execute him immediately."
After hearing this, Li Yuankai hurriedly said: "I think it's better to take the girl and ask her. Maybe we can investigate and deal with some things about Jinhuo Hall." Lan Chong said indignantly at the side: "We, Tianshui Sect and Jinhuo Hall, have always been on the same page. , Today Jinhuo Tang intends to kill the disciples of my sect, and does not take us seriously at all, so we have to kill him Jinhuo Tang is happy. According to my subordinates, the woman in the prison should be executed immediately to avoid future troubles." Li Yuanxin was happy. Zhong secretly said: "Zhao Po and Lan Chong, these two fools, insist on saying that Yuerong and Hongyan are from Jinhuotang. Isn't it unfair?" Then Li Yuankai said to Long Yin and said with a smile: "Human life is at stake, how can we act rashly. Again. We will also know whether the two arrested people are disciples of the Golden Fire Hall. If they really kill innocent people by mistake, our Tianshui Sect will have another enemy, which will be troublesome at that time. I ask the leader to think twice."
Na Lan Chong wanted to speak, but Long Yin smiled and said displeasedly: "Even if they are disciples of the Golden Fire Hall, it won't matter if they are killed or run away. They are just two unknown people. Why make such a fuss and make things like this?" It's loud, so why keep talking about it. This matter is all decided by Manager Li alone. Don't mention it again in the future. I don't want to hear these trivial things." Zhao Polan told the two of them to listen. I'm speechless. Li Yuankai was secretly happy in his heart. Gong Shen said to the Dragon Cult Leader: "I obey my orders."
Long Yinxiao then asked Lan Chong: "Do you know how my daughter Matanyu is doing these days?" Lan Chong said: "The young lady has always been well taken care of in that village. Please rest assured, Master." Long Yinxiao said to himself: "This girl really yearns for life in the country." While several people were talking, the reporter hurriedly reported: There was a man outside the door who claimed to be Yan Zhen, the leader of Jinhuo Hall, and kept asking to see the leader. "Li Yuankai was surprised after hearing this, while Long Yinxiao sneered: "I didn't look for him, but he came to the door himself. This is very good, I would like to see what the Jinhuo Hall Master who demolished the Natural Gate looks like? "After saying this, he led everyone to go out and watch.
When I came to the door of the hall, I saw a person standing high on the rockery outside the door. This man was dressed in a red robe, with a blue sea and a golden moon embroidered on his back. Under his shawl, he had a heroic face that looked arrogant. It was Yan Zhen, the leader of the Golden Fire Hall.
Yan Zhen only turned his face slightly on the rockery and did not look directly at Long Yinxiao and the others. Long Yinxiao raised his eyes and looked at Yan Zhen and said, "Are you Yan Zhen?" Yan Zhen did not answer, but asked: "You are Long Yinxiao." Zhao Po was furious when he heard Yan Zhen's words and scolded Yan Zhen. He said: "The nameless rat, how dare you speak rudely to our leader, I won't take your life until I take your life." As he said this, Zhao Po was about to take action. Long Yinxiao hurriedly stopped him and asked Yan Zhen, "Can Hall Master Yan come down and speak?" Yan Zhen said, "No, Yan has always been aloof. My purpose of coming today is very simple, and I can explain it in just one sentence." Zhao Po said quickly. : "If you have anything to say, please tell me." Yan Zhen looked at Zhao Po and said disdainfully: "At the end of the year, you don't know whether you will live or die." Zhao Po heard that his face was filled with anger, and he wanted to take action for the second time, but was stopped by Long Yinxiao again.
Long Yinxiao sneered at Yan Zhen and said, "If you are so arrogant, do you dare to ask Hall Master Yan why he is here?" Yan Zhen said: "Tianshui Sect is the most holy sect in the world. Yan has been coveting it for a long time. As long as Tianshui Sect can convert, Under the banner of Jin Huo Tang, when I unify the Central Plains and enjoy the joy of the world, I will appoint Master Long as the deputy leader of the martial arts world. Wouldn’t it be a happy thing to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people?" Long Yinxiao sneered after hearing this, and said: "Listen to Yan The hall master said that you really have great talent and strategy, and Long admires him. But I don’t know how Hall Master Yan can conquer the world?" Yan Zhen said proudly: "One black dragon can turn a river upside down, and hundreds of fish and shrimps can make no waves. Yan can conquer the world with his strength. It's the sword in your hand. Those who follow me will live, and those who go against me will die. Master Long is a smart man, so he doesn't have to fight with me. Will your Tianshui Sect return?"
Long Yin smiled and saw that Yan Zhen was so arrogant that it was difficult to suppress his anger. He said angrily: "The Tianshui Sect has a huge foundation, how can you just give it to someone else? You want to compete with me, a slutty boy, but I, Long Yinxiao, don't know who to ask for the world?" Long Yinxiao raised his hand as he spoke. Pointing to Yan Zhendao, he ordered: "Take down this madman!"
Zhao Po and Lan Chong obeyed the order and flew straight to Yan Zhen. When Yan Zhen saw the two coming, he flew down and intercepted Zhao Po and the others. With only twenty moves, Zhao Polan and Chong were defeated. Seeing this, Li Yuankai rushed forward, but within ten moves, he was defeated. So the three of them worked together to attack, and Yan Zhen lightly used the Flame Sword, injuring Li Yuankai and the other three to the ground. Long Yin smiled and knew that the three of them could hardly be Yan Zhen's rival. Fei stepped forward to fight Yan Zhen again. After more than thirty moves, Yan Zhen was undefeated and became more courageous the more he fought. The firelights were approaching Long Yinxiao. Long Yinxiao saw several fire snakes coming toward his face and did not dare to neglect them. When he jumped up, he used the divine power of protecting the teachings, the Qi Sha Tian Jue Xin Technique, to respond to Yan Zhen's palm. Two bursts of true energy connected, and several fire snakes were instantly reduced to nothing. And the Qisha Tianjue seemed to be showing its divine power, and the palm of Long Yinxiao's hand seemed to have been cast a magical spell, suddenly became almost ten feet tall and nearly seven feet wide, and was heading towards Yan Zhen in the wind. He wanted to suppress Yan Zhen's entire body under his palm.
Yan Zhen looked up and saw a big hand pressing towards him, and felt frightened. If you want to dodge, you will be at a loss. He had no choice but to rely on his full strength to face him. When the two sides handed over, the house seemed to move three-thirds, and a strong wind blew out of thin air, blowing people's hair. Yan Zhen secretly said: "The old thief has practiced this evil skill, and he is so domineering. If we continue to argue, I am afraid that my own seven-point flame true energy will not be able to match him. Thinking of this, Yan Zhen Ding quickly pulled away from the side of the giant hand when they were fighting with each other. Fly away.
At this moment, Long Yin smiled and said that the demonic palm was unable to restrain it, and it directly broke an ancient tree. Seeing Yan Zhen rushing towards the flowers nearby, the palms of the Seven Evils followed him like a shadow. Yan Zhen put his feet on the ground and jumped up again, flying to the front of a rockery and swaying. Looking back, two sharp flame demon swords shot out, and the rockery was cut into two pieces, and one section flew towards Long Yinxiao's clutches.
Long Yin smiled and saw the situation, clenched his fist with his demonic palm, and hit the rock hard. The half of the rockery was shattered by one punch. Smoke and dust filled the air, and the stone mist closed his eyes. At this time, Yan Zhen had already jumped over the high wall and escaped from the Tianshui Sect.
Long Yin smiled and sighed: "The Flame Demon Sword is indeed well-deserved." Zhao Po said: "Master, Yan Zhen has already escaped." Long Yin smiled and said: "The battle between Tianshui Sect and Jin Huotang is inevitable, and a fierce battle will follow. There is no need Fight for this moment. From today on, the whole teaching must be on strict guard and not make any omissions." Li Yuankai accepted the order with dignity and said: "We really cannot take it lightly when dealing with Yan Zhen." Long Yinxiao also nodded in acquiescence. So several people went into the hall to discuss countermeasures...
In the evening, the sky is filled with stars and the Milky Way is shining brightly. The night is infinitely refreshing and pure.
Hongyan was waiting quietly in the cell, and his heart calmed down from the initial uneasiness. He knew that although Tianshui Sect was the most famous sect in the world, it was by no means a loyal and kind-hearted sect. Now that he is caught here, he can still guess what the outcome will be. It's a pity that Yuerong and Yue Rong have been nowhere to be seen in the past few days, and there is no news at all. It makes people feel discouraged. I really don't know what will happen to him? At this moment, who can understand the pain in her heart?
Hongyan didn't think about it any more. What is needed when a disaster strikes is calmness and calmness, because tears of sadness cannot change everything. Strength and courage are the tools to overcome difficulties. The sky outside the window is vast and desolate. Hongyan glanced outside and lowered her head silently.
Suddenly there was a crash and the iron lock of the cell door was opened. The jailer opened the door and said to the beauty: "Girl, come out for a moment. My manager Li is calling you."
Hongyan asked: "Who is Mr. Li?" The jailer said: "Of course it is Mr. Li Yuankai." When Hongyan heard Li Yuankai calling her, she felt at ease. Yuerong had mentioned Li Yuankai to her earlier in the valley, and she knew that he was a rare benevolent and righteous person in the Tianshui Sect. So Hongyan felt relieved and followed the jailer to see Li Yuankai. When Li Yuankai saw Hongyan being brought, he said to his men: "Quickly untie Miss Wu!" Then his men untied Hongyan. Then Li Yuankai dismissed his servants and said to Hongyan: "Miss Wu has suffered a lot these days." Hongyan said: "It's just a superficial wound, it's not important." Li Yuankai asked Hongyan to sit down and told Yuerong everything. Beauty. Hongyan's eyes glowed when she heard this, and she said in surprise: "It turns out he's fine. Thank you Manager Li for saving his life." Hongyan burst into tears of gratitude, and stood up and knelt down as she spoke. Li Yuankai hurriedly helped Hongyan up and said, "Master Xiao is now in Mrs. Long's courtyard. The two of us will go see him first." After hearing this, Hongyan was happy and hurriedly rushed to Mrs. Long's room with Li Yuankai.
The two walked through the garden and came to the Moon Gate. Li Yuankai took Hongyan in with him. Hongyan came to the door and saw an old woman's figure reflected from the window lattice in the front room. Hongyan thought to herself: "This must be the old lady's room." Then she looked carefully and saw two night watchmen outside Mrs. Long's house. There is no moon figure in the house, so I can't help but look around for the beauty's eyes. The steps also seemed a bit hesitant. When the two came to Mrs. Long's Qing residence, they saw an old woman with a kind face, kneeling in front of the Buddhist niche, burning incense and praying.
Li Yuankai stepped forward to pay homage and said, "My subordinate Li Yuankai, please pay homage to Madam." Mrs. Long stood up and said, "General Manager Li, there is no need to be polite." Then she asked, "General Manager Li, I must have something to do when he comes to my place." Seeing the beauty again, she asked unconsciously: "Who is this girl?" Li Yuankai said: "She is the daughter of the owner of Haomengyuan. She was arrested a few days ago by people from the Jinhuotang together with the young master of the Natural Gate. She was almost killed, but was rescued by his subordinates today. In the teaching There are many inconveniences elsewhere, so I came here to see Madam." After hearing this, Mrs. Long looked at Hongyan and said, "This girl is so beautiful and beautiful, what is her name?" Hongyan said hurriedly: "Wu Hongyan comes to see Madam." Long. The lady said: "Hongyan, that's a nice name." Then Mrs. Long said: "I think my daughter Matoi is about the same age and appearance as the girl. She went to her cousin's house in the country a while ago. She hasn't come back yet, but... It left me in the cold. Now that the girl is in trouble, she has nowhere to turn to, and there are many rules in the teaching. Even if Manager Li brings you here, it is fate. You can stay with me for the time being and be my goddaughter. , I wonder if the girl is willing?"
After hearing this, Hongyan thanked her and said: "Hongyan, thank you for your kindness, Madam. I can't thank you enough. It's a pity that Hongyan is often involved in the world and the world. If the situation is peaceful in the future, I should leave." Mrs. Long smiled and said: "Everything comes and goes, everything has its own arrangement. You can stay for a few days as long as you can. How can I make it difficult for Miss Wu." Seeing that Mrs. Long is a sensible person, Hongyan hurriedly leaned over and thanked her. Mrs. Long helped Hongyan up with a smile.
Li Yuankai turned around and looked at Yue Rong, who was pretending to be a night watchman and was looking in. It turned out that Yue Rong only went out on duty at three o'clock in the morning, rarely seen during the day, and had avoided suspicion. Therefore, the beauty does not see the moon when she first comes. It was late at night and Yuerong came out to do his work, but he saw Li Yuankai and Hongyan. Li Yuankai hurriedly called Yuerong into the house to meet the beauty. When Hong Yan saw Yue Rong, she couldn't help but bump into Yue Rong's shoulder, breaking her soft intestines. Mrs. Long was surprised when she saw it, so Li Yuankai hurriedly explained the matter between the two of them in detail, so that Mrs. Long would not be confused. Li Yuankai said to Yuerong again: "What happened today is definitely not serious, but if there is a slight difference, your two lives are still at stake. According to my plan, it is best for young master to leave here and stay with me. Everything will be better." Take care of her. Miss Wu will be taken care of by Mrs. Long here, so you can rest assured."
Mrs. Long said: "What Mr. Li said is true. The leader of the sect is not a big director. Mr. Li is in charge of the Tianshui Sect alone. There are so many people in the sect. I don't know who has malicious intentions, and I can't take care of them at the moment. Mr. Xiao and Mr. Li first It's best to stay together." Yuerong nodded and separated from Hongyan for a few days. Hongyan readily understood. Then Manager Li took Yuerong away from Mrs. Long's residence. Another person was placed in front of the door to keep vigil.
As Yuerong walked, she asked Li Yuankai: "Manager Li, why are you and I not allowed to leave today when we are together together?" Li Yuankai said: "It's okay to stay here for a few days. Early this morning, Yan Zhen came to Tianshui Sect to provoke and threatened to kill everyone. Tianshui Sect. So the leader ordered to be more vigilant and not allow suspicious people to enter or exit to prevent unexpected events." If you two go out rashly at this time, if you are caught, it will be even more troublesome. I think it's not too late to go when things have calmed down. Li Yuankai added: "The Dragon Boat Festival will be here in a few days, and the Dragon Sect will celebrate it with its disciples." At that time, you can go to the banquet with me. I want to help you solve your problems and clear up your doubts in front of the leader. I think the leader, when he is happy, can ignore the past grudges and let you and Miss Wu leave this place of right and wrong. Yuerong said happily: "Everything is arranged by Manager Li." "...
