Hearing Xiao Liu's doubts, Murong Yan also said a little depressed. "Oh, there's no other way. It's said above that we won't hire female head catchers now."
When Xiao Liu heard this, he nodded at first, but then he asked with some doubts:
"That's not right. I remember that the Six Gates did not have the habit of favoring boys over girls. Aren't Wuqing, the leader of the Four Great Gods, and Zhan Hongling, known as the best female head catcher in the world, all women?"
Murong Yan also said in confusion:
"I don't know about that. Anyway, even my current trial quota is something I managed to get through."
"Yeah." Xiao Liu couldn't help but look at Murong Yan curiously after hearing this.
Murong Yan quickly realized something was wrong, stopped what she was about to say, and changed her words:
"Anyway, now I can only officially become a six-door catcher if I catch this Bai Yutang. How about it, have you thought about it? Do you want to help me?" Murong Yan asked Xiao Liu again.
Xiao Liu looked at her with a wry smile and said, "Do I have any other choice?"
"Smart, no! I always contact my sister wherever I go, so if something happens to me, then you..."
Murong Yan shook her fingers and said. Although she had not finished her words, the warning was clearly expressed.
"Tell me then, what are you going to do?" Xiao Liu asked directly. Lao Bai's vest could no longer protect him, and it was time to expose him.
"We are like this..." Murong Yan whispered in Xiao Liu's ear.
. . . . . .
At this time, Lao Bai, who was busy in the lobby downstairs, didn't know that the 'cousins' upstairs were about to attack him.
He looked at Xiao Guo who was holding a rag but not wiping the table. Instead, he kept looking up at Xiao Guo who was wandering around upstairs. He couldn't help but joked:
"What's wrong? You've been staring at it all day and night. If you're really worried, you can go up and take a look. How about I go take a look for you?"
Lao Bai used a metaphor to Xiao Guo, and upon hearing Lao Bai's joke, Xiao Guo angrily threw him away with a rag.
"You'd better take care of yourself."
With that said, Xiao Guo turned around and walked towards the backyard. She wanted to have some quiet time.
"What's wrong?" The shopkeeper asked Lao Bai curiously, looking at Xiao Guo who was losing his temper again.
"You can't even tell this, so someone is worried."
The shopkeeper wanted to ask again, but Murong Yan happened to come down from the second floor at this time. She looked at Lao Bai in the lobby and said with a smile:
"Brother Bai, my cousin asked you to come up. He said he had something important to talk to you alone."
"Is it important?" Lao Bai and the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel a little confused when they heard this, but they didn't doubt him, so Lao Bai followed Murong Yan upstairs.
The shopkeeper watched everyone leave, and she and Xiucai were the only ones left in the lobby. She also went to the backyard to find Xiao Guo.
"Xiao Guo, come out quickly. There is no one in the lobby now. Stop being lazy."
Now, only the most honest scholar is left watching in the lobby.
. . . . . .
Lao Bai followed Murong Yan upstairs, and the two came to the door. Murong Yan knocked on the door and shouted: "Cousin, Brother Bai is here."
"Please come in!" Xiaoliu's voice also came from inside the room.
Murong Yan made a gesture of invitation to Lao Bai.
When Lao Bai saw this, he was also a little confused. What was going on and why was it so solemn?
At this moment, because of the previous nightmare and his long-standing experience in the world, Lao Bai felt a sense of vigilance in his heart.
However, he still chose to open the door and go in. After all, he and Xiaoliu were very familiar with each other.
And the moment he opened the door, he heard a sound breaking through the air. Lao Bai quickly realized that something was wrong, and he quickly stretched out his right hand to catch the stone.
However, although Lao Bai caught the stone, the huge force on the stone made his palm hurt, and he staggered back a step.
At this moment, Murong Yan behind him also took action. Her hands were intertwined, and her fingers were like the wind and lightning, and she quickly moved towards Lao Baidian.
Although Lao Bai did not expect that the other party would suddenly attack him front and back, but he had been in the world for many years and his Qinggong was very impressive.
He quickly used the strength of the stone in his hand, used his left foot as a pivot, turned his body, and blocked Murong Yan's sneak attack with his right elbow.
However, Murong Yan used the Sunflower Acupuncture Hand. Although Lao Bai blocked Murong Yan's attack in time, an internal force still invaded from his right arm.
Lao Bai realized something was wrong and quickly used his internal strength to resist, but it was still a step too late. His right arm was still clicked by the opponent.
Murong Yan saw that although the attack was successful, it did not achieve the effect she wanted, so she quickly clicked again.
But how could Lao Bai let her get her wish? Lao Bai quickly moved towards Murong Yan with the fingers of his left hand.
The two fingers faced each other, and both sides became more energetic. In the end, Lao Bai came out on top and forced Murong Yan back.
But after all, Lao Bai made the move in a hurry, and he didn't use his dominant right hand. He also took a step back.
At this moment, a cold knife was quietly placed on his neck.
"Brother Bai, I'm offended!"
As the cold blade approached, Lao Bai sighed helplessly. He looked back at Xiao Liu and said with a complicated expression:
"I knew I would fall into your hands one day."
As he spoke, Lao Bai shook his head and raised his hands helplessly.
When Murong Yan saw Lao Bai being captured, she quickly took out the handcuffs from her bag and cuffed Lao Bai.
. . . . . .
And just when Xiaoliu and Murong Yan took action against Lao Bai, Lao Xing, who rushed back to Heifeng Ridge, also launched a plan to lure the snake out of the cave.
He first gathered the leading people and told them the plan, and then after making arrangements, all the government officials withdrew in an orderly manner.
The bandit who was on guard outside Heifeng Stronghold saw this scene and quickly ran to report to the bandit boss.
The bandit boss was surprised when he heard the news. He thought it was reinforcements led by Xie Zhongda. He quickly brought everyone to the gate of the village to watch.
Sure enough, all the policemen had withdrawn, leaving only empty thatched huts outside the village.
"Your Majesty, the agents have all withdrawn. Do we need to pursue them?" A bandit asked curiously.
However, the bandit boss did not answer him, but asked everyone: "Did you see any fireworks?"
After hearing this, all the bandits shook their heads in confusion. "No."
After hearing everyone say no, the bandit boss also knew that this was not Xie Zhongda's handiwork.
When Xie Zhongda and others set out, they made a private agreement that if they wanted to take action, they would burn smoke during the day and set fire at night. If there were no fireworks at this time, it was not Xie's secret signal.
Although he didn't know what was going on with the government, he still gave stern instructions to the bandits:
"Everyone, please listen to me. No matter whether these people are really evacuating or pretending to evacuate, no one is allowed to leave until brother Xie comes back. The gate of the village must be guarded by me, do you hear me!"
"yes!"
