The Changle Inn, which opened on the side of the street, was originally meant to be sent to us. There were few minor incidents in the city, and neither thieves nor soldiers were encountered. Whether it is the shopkeeper or the shop assistant, they are all local people. The farthest place they have been to is Zhili, and the most powerful person they have ever seen is the county magistrate. Where have you seen any real big scenes? At this moment, all of them stood in the corner of the lobby with their heads down and trembling, not daring to catch their breath, for fear of angering the group of people in front of them.
It's just that the man standing still in the hall is really a fairy.
Wearing a snow-white robe, with a high-level appearance, Yuanding Yuezhi. Rongchang's cheeks are as distant and pure as ink paintings of distant mountains, and the corners of his eyes and brows seem to be still soaked with the wet and cold dew that has come all the way. Just looking at people flatly makes people feel that they have been seen through by this glance, and they have a feeling of having nowhere to hide.
Most of the crowd of people who came with him did not enter the door, but only surrounded the inn so that no one else could enter. Fortunately, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are not many people coming and going to stay in the inn, so it didn't cause too much panic.
Jian Shu and his people quickly searched the entire inn.
He came down empty-handed when he came downstairs.
There is no one they are looking for here.
Jian Shu glanced at Xiao Bao, whose face was pale, and felt a little drumbeat in his heart. He approached Xie Wei and said, "Sir, no one is there."
Xie Wei remained silent.
Xiaobao knew that things had changed when he heard from the shopkeeper that there were no women staying at the inn at dawn, and when he heard Jianshu's words, he knelt down and pleaded guilty: "I was negligent and thoughtless, and I lost the second girl. whereabouts."
Xiaobao is in the sect of heaven, so he is Xie Weiyang's hidden stake.
Although he is young, he is very smart.
But after all, he was in Tongzhou and Xie Wei was in the capital. Even if he secretly sent a letter to let him rescue Jiang Xuening first, he could not explain the matter in detail. Therefore, Xiaobao deduced according to common sense, since Jiang Xuening had been rescued, and when she arrived in front of the inn, the girl was powerless, and she didn't seem to have any great skills, so she would naturally enter the inn obediently. .
Where can you think that the big living people can disappear in vain
I have never been to this inn from start to finish!
The lobby was deserted.
No human voice.
Xie Wei didn't call Xiaobao up, but he didn't say anything to blame, just raised his hand to gently support the corner of the table, and sat on a chair that Jianshu had carefully wiped.
After a while, Daoqin brought people in, bowed and said, "Sir, the people from the government office."
This man was wearing a dark blue silk robe, and he was the master of the government office.
When he was carried into the door by Daoqin, he stumbled, almost like shit, and fell in front of Xie Wei in a state of embarrassment, knocking his head to the ground, trembling with fear: "The villain sees the young master, it's true, it is true. A girl came to the government office half an hour ago and asked to see our prefect by name and surname."
Xie Wei rolled his eyes: "How do you say it?"
With cold sweat on his forehead, the master recalled: "It is said that the Tianjiao sect gathered in Tongzhou was suspected of rebellion, and the court officials who were investigated by the Ministry of Justice were caught in it and urgently needed help. The prefect didn't believe it, but he soon listened to it. The guard at the city gate said that Duke Dingguo would lead his troops into the city and go straight to Shangqingguan, so he didn't sit still and ordered a clerk from the government office, and took a shortcut to help."
Xie Wei asked, "Where is she?"
When the master heard the word "she", he subconsciously wanted to say that the prefect went to the Shangqing Temple, but after thinking about it, his heart skipped a beat, he quickly swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and replied, "That girl must follow If the prefect goes, he can’t stop him, and according to the distance, I’m afraid that he has reached the Shangqingguan now.”
Jian Shu, who was standing beside him, took a deep breath almost immediately.
Jiang Er girl has no power to tie a chicken to a boudoir daughter's house, An dare to be so dangerous!
Xiaobao also widened his eyes.
Only Xie Wei, who seemed to have some expectations about this, suddenly laughed. It was a laugh of no taste, as if something was choking in the throat, and it was vague and spicy, and finally turned into two heavy words: "Okay, okay."
I underestimate her courage!
When I was a student in the palace, I was obedient and obedient, but when I went outside, I was completely rebellious!
Because Zhang Zha dared to go against him!
Xie Wei's fingers on the edge of the table were cold, and the lingering hostility spread from the depths of his eyes. He got up, and walked out of the inn with his sleeves. He said coldly, "Go to Shangqing. view."
On the afternoon of the village beach, Jiang Xuening had confided to Zhang Zhe, saying that he did not want to stay in the capital or the palace, and wanted to take this opportunity to escape far away.
He thought that he had gone through all the glitz and found his true heart.
Even if we can't see each other often in the future, I also hope that her wish will be fulfilled, that she will go far away, the sea and sky will be vast, and she will never come back.
But she did come back.
still in such a dangerous situation.
Zhang Zhe was annoyed at her being confused, and resented her for being reckless. When his voice came out, he was so stern that even he was startled.
Meng Yang, who was beside him, couldn't help but glance at him.
Seeing him, Jiang Xuening only felt that a big stone fell to the ground in his heart. He never thought that Zhang Zhe would yell at himself like this, and he was stunned for a moment: "I..."
for you.
Since the Yongding Pharmacy has no court response at all, that Zhang Zhe must have been kept in the dark; Xiaobao took a lot of trouble to bring her out, so at least the planner behind Xiaobao wanted to save him. ; Xiaobao deceived her about the Yongding pharmacy, but she had never been to the pharmacy, so they knew they didn't care about Zhang Zhe's life or death.
If there is no help from the court, Zhang Zha will be in a critical situation!
After she went to the government office, she even heard that it was Xiao's father and son who led people to encircle and suppress the Heavenly Sect.
The bet is that the conspirators don't want her to die!
If she came, beside Zhang Zhe, if this group of people wanted to stand idly by or even want to harm Zhang Zhe, they would have to think about it, or even be forced to come to the rescue!
If she wins the bet, she can save Zhang Zha's life;
If she lost the bet, it was only her life that was paid to Zhang Zhe.
So when Zhang Zhe's anger came on her face, she felt bitterness and grievance in her heart for a moment, but in a flash she knew that Zhang Zhe's anger was more due to worry and anger, so it became warm again.
Jiang Xuening's eyes were red.
In her last life, she owed Zhang Zhe, bullied him, targeted him, and lost her temper at him, and she will return it to him in this life.
After all, she was happy.
She didn't want to hide her feelings, she still looked at him fixedly, tears still falling, and she said with some choking: "I'm worried about you."
The red marks drawn on the delicate face are particularly eye-catching.
Zhang Zha's fire was extinguished by her, and her heart felt a pain like being whipped: I could have walked away but came back, what else could it be for
He knew it clearly, but he couldn't control the anger that was out of his senses at that moment.
But now is not the time to talk too much.
Seeing that the cult members who were temporarily repelled from the Tianjiao were fighting back, he didn't care to say anything, his face became cold, he raised his hand and pulled Jiang Xuening to his side, it was safer to go horizontally. Avoid anywhere.
Jiang Xuening's hand was clenched by his, and what he felt was a sticky piece.
Looking down, he saw blood on his hands.
It was the palm he held her that was stained red by the blood flowing from the wound on his left shoulder, which was extremely dazzling.
She suddenly hated her own weakness and incompetence. She couldn't help him more at this time, so she could only follow him step by step, trying not to drag her back.
Originally, it was a melee that was indistinguishable between the enemy and the enemy. After adding in the gang of emergency officers from the government office, it suddenly became a lot more organized. At least the pressure on Zhang Zhe and Meng Yang’s side. Suddenly light.
On the contrary, Tianjiao was caught off guard.
The group of people who came to kill Zhang Zha before were stopped by swords, obviously it was impossible, Feng Mingyu didn't expect the incident, and he was so angry that he scolded.
Wu Feng persuaded: "You can't bear to mess with big plans, you don't have to worry about Zhang Zhe alone."
Feng Mingyu took a deep breath and said, "How far is it?"
Wu Feng raised his eyes and looked around: the people on the Tianjiao side have completely withdrawn from Shangqingguan, and went around a mountain road leading to the back mountain, and then there is a valley overgrown with weeds.
A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Five or sixty feet, retreat!"
During the melee of several parties, I vaguely heard a whistle from the side of the Heavenly Sect.
The battle lines were stretched, and not many were heard.
The Xiao's father and son, who were far behind, didn't even hear it. When they saw a commotion in front of them, and they killed the person who was passing through the prefecture's office halfway, the expressions of the father and son became a bit ugly.
Xiao Yuan's purpose this time was to gain the first credit, and even Xie Wei deliberately left it behind.
Where did you expect that there is still a prefect who doesn't know how to live or die here and dare to take a share of the pie
The more this is the case, the less you can let the other party take the lead!
He frowned, his temples were already a little gray, but it didn't hinder his awe-inspiring aura when he issued orders, and shouted loudly: "Don't back off! Fight inside! If anyone takes a step back, Go back to the military law and serve!"
These soldiers were brought out from the Imperial Army, and they always listened to Xiao Yuan's words.
Besides, it's just a small sect of heaven. Compared to the real war on the frontier, it's really a trivial matter. They didn't take this matter seriously. As soon as Xiao Yuan said that he rushed forward, there was no one to be afraid of. Raise the sword and move forward!
Although Zhang Zhe was far apart, after listening to the general idea on both sides, he easily noticed that Xiao Yuan was greedy for merit and rashness. Thinking about the weirdness of Tianjiao's actions before and after, he was always uneasy.
Seeing that the Xiao family were getting closer and closer, and even they were going to be carried to the back mountain, his brows furrowed.
Can't go in any more.
Zhang Zhe said categorically: "The other party is trying to lure the enemy to go deeper, be careful to ambush!"
The prefect of Tongzhou was stunned.
Xiao's father and son were dismissive.
However, before they could express their doubts or ridicule, just as Zhang Zhe's voice fell, there was a terrifying "boom" on the mountainside, and everyone swayed under their feet. It was too late. hide!
The hard rock flew up and fell towards the crowd.
Dirt splashes everywhere.
Occasionally, a small pebble lashed into a human head, piercing the human skull and wedging it in!
Even the trainees like Meng Yang couldn't stand still, and said in awe, "Gunpowder!"
This thing was unintentionally refined by Taoist priests during alchemy. After decades of use, it was used on the battlefield and made into a cannon. It often has the miraculous effect of killing a hundred people with one shot. Huang Huang.
It's just that the development of this thing is not easy, and the stakes are very important, and it has always been used only by the imperial army.
How can there be a religion? !
Not to mention Meng Yang, but anyone with less knowledge has already felt that disaster is imminent.
A bang is just the beginning.
Just a moment later, it seemed like a terrifying floodgate had been opened, and the sound of "Boom Rumble" was endless, and all kinds of screams sounded one after another.
This mountain in Shangqingguan is not high enough, and the soil and rocks are not strong enough.
When several buried gunpowder exploded, the rock shook violently, and it collapsed from bottom to top. Immediately, half of the people were dragged into the soil and the other half buried in the rock.
It was hit with blood and flesh, and a corpse was blown all over the field!
Zhang Zhe was expecting an ambush, but he never thought that the Heavenly Sect would be able to produce gunpowder. When the mountainside collapsed, he only had time to pull Jiang Xuening to the direction of the Heavenly Sect people in front of him!
The several yamen officers behind him disappeared almost immediately.
Xiao's father and son never expected such a change. They had already rushed forward too hard, and they couldn't go back. The positions of the two were just within the range of the explosive ambush, and they were suddenly blown up. The mountain dragged down.
Xiao Ye screamed in horror!
It was a rock that fell from above and hit him in the leg.
Xiao Yuan had better luck, but only scratched the skin, but he was also frightened. When he saw that his precious son had been smashed in the leg, he shouted "Ye'er" and rushed over to save people, but he was alone. Where can the limit push that big stone away
To call people to help, but others are too busy to take care of themselves.
"Hahahaha, this trick is called 'invite you to enter the urn', and it is also called 'close the door and beat the dog'!"
Most of the Tianjiao people have retreated to a safe place and retreated to the valley at the back. Seeing that the rocks on the mountainside collapsed into a hell scene on earth, Feng Mingyu laughed and was very proud.
"Wait for you to come and die!"
The Heavenly Sect had already known that the imperial court was going to send troops to encircle and suppress them, and made preparations and arrangements in advance to teach them a hard lesson! Even though some of the cult members died accidentally, compared to the situation where the entire army was almost wiped out on the side of the replaced imperial court, I really don't know how cost-effective it is!
The imperial court rushed to the aid of the soldiers, but those who survived were only stragglers.
The Tianjiao side pressed it back and killed it. The scene was tragic for a while, and the situation suddenly reversed!
Zhang Zhe pulled Jiang Xuening to avoid the safe area of Tianjiao's side. Although he avoided the power of gunpowder explosion in time, he also put himself into another danger.
The Heavenly Sect was worried that he would not be able to kill him.
As soon as Huang Qian saw Zhang Zha, the sheep entered the tiger's mouth and took the initiative to approach them. How could he not seize this opportunity and attack him
Zhang Zhe wanted to protect Jiang Xuening, and he had been seriously injured, and he was not a strong martial artist, so he almost immediately collapsed.
The other party also saw that he cared about Jiang Xuening, and simply forced Jiang Xuening with a sword.
Zhang Zhe's heart to protect her is more serious than his own, so it is inevitable that he will fall into the opponent's trick, and he will be stabbed in the ribs with a sword. He stumbles under his feet and almost falls.
Jiang Xuening shouted: "Zhang Zhe!"
However, Huang Qian laughed loudly, took this opportunity to pull Jiang Xuening over, slashed a knife across her neck, and said to Zhang Zhe, "Put the knife down, and also ask your people to put the knife down."
Zhang Zhe was carrying the blood-stained knife, and he was also covered in blood.
He looked at Jiang Xuening silently and did not speak.
She panicked for only a moment.
Immediately afterwards, there was a strange calmness.
Even though her life was hanging on Huang Qian's blade that would sever her head at any time, she felt that there was no better situation than being held hostage at this moment.
Jiang Xuening calmly said: 'Master Huang Xiang, now you still have a chance. "
Huang Qian was surprised: "What?"
Jiang Xuening didn't even tremble, and said, "Now abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, there may be a chance of survival."
Huang Qian felt like he was listening to a big joke.
Is this woman crazy
However, things in this world are so strange, or maybe this woman does have her own support. Just when he wanted to sneer, there were swift black shadows on the back wall and building of the Taoist temple in front of him!
That is countless archers hidden in the dark!
Wu Feng, the helmsman of the Tongzhou branch, knew almost immediately that the general situation was not good, and almost shouted in a hoarse voice: "Back off, back off!!!"
But the gang of Tianjiao finally reversed the defeat, and they were about to take advantage of the victory to chase down the underdogs, and the remnants that were chasing after Xiao's had chased too deep, and almost all of them chased back under the back wall of Shangqingguan in front.
Completely delivered to your door!
How can I go back
"Swish swish", the arrows broke through the air and made a sharp sound. Due to the huge number, they almost screamed into one piece, densely packed, and shot from the sky!
Many people have no time to react, and have already been inserted into the body by arrows and turned into hedgehogs.
Brush Lala...
A wave of arrows fell, and one fell; another wave of arrows fell, and another fell; when the third wave of arrows fell, all the wounded people on the mountain behind were screaming and screaming, watching from afar. Everyone who has not been affected has been silent.
Because what this rain of arrows covers is not just the celestial religion at all!
Even the remnants of the defeated soldiers led by the Xiao shi were no different, and they all died!
The blood pooled into a pool of water, and rushed from the back wall of Shangqingguan to the nearby mountain road.
Xiao Yuan was still crying while holding Xiao Ye, who had passed out.
Yet everywhere else was dead silence.
The louder the wailing and screaming, the more the paleness and terror of this dead silence became.
In the valley overgrown with weeds, Feng Mingyu is still there, Wu Feng is still there, and some lucky people who talk about the teaching of heaven are still there.
Huang Qian is also there.
However, at this moment, he had forgotten what he wanted to say earlier. The knife was placed on Jiang Xuening's neck, but his hand shook uncontrollably. His eyes unconsciously harbored a bit of fear, and he looked at the backyard of the Shangqing Temple. When the door was closed.
The cold wind blows the grass.
The dark sky was covered with overcast clouds.
It was clear that apart from the sound of the wind, nothing could be heard, but when everyone's eyes converged on the closed door, they seemed to hear the sound of footsteps approaching behind the door.
Finally, the door opened.
It was too far apart, and only a white shadow could be seen.
Then walk towards them.
There were still some solid rocks standing abruptly on the blown-up mountain road, and this man stood on the most dangerous one. .
Jiang Xuening saw this man's face clearly.
The knife that Huang Qian pressed on her neck was piercingly cold.
She also saw the man's eyes clearly.
The Xie Wei who rebelled with the previous life is generally the same—
He took off the skin of the saint and opened the heart of the devil.
It seems that no one on the Tianjiao side knows his identity.
Xiao Dingfei, who originally wanted to escape by accident but did not escape, was already dirty in his brocade clothes. Now that he saw Xie Wei, he quietly retreated to the back, hid behind the crowd, and buried his head low, as if he was afraid of being seen.
Feng Mingyu and Wu Feng couldn't believe it.
They are mantises chasing cicadas, but they don't want the oriole behind!
There are only a hundred or so people left in the group. Compared to the black and pressed group of people looking down on them on the rock, it seems that they have no resistance, not to mention that there are many archers on the other side.
But fortunately, they have hostages in their hands.
Huang Qianqiang calmed down and said: "I didn't expect the court to send two groups of people, but I miscalculated. But your court officials and this woman are in our hands! If you wait further, I will kill her immediately. !"
Xie Wei's robes were facing the wind, hunting drums and drums. He glanced at Huang Qian and asked plainly, "Who is she?"
Huang Qian was immediately stunned.
However, the next moment, a chill rose from my heart: Yes, who is she? They didn't know the identity of this woman all the way, they only knew that Zhang Zhe cared. But Zhang Zhe cares, but it doesn't mean that the person who controls their life and death also cares!
Taking Jiang Xuening as a threat is simply impossible!
With this thought, a cold sweat broke out on Huang Qian's forehead, and he couldn't help but distract himself when he panicked.
But I heard Wu Feng yell: "Be careful!"
A cold light flashed through the oblique thorn, and there was actually a sharp dagger, which attacked Huang Qian from the grass behind him, severing the back of Huang Qian's neck like lightning, and almost severing half of Huang Qian's neck!
Blood spurted out like a mist!
At the same time, a hand reached out in time and grabbed the knife in Huang Qian's hand, preventing it from cutting Jiang Xuening's throat due to the unstable fall!
Until this moment, everyone could see this ghostly figure clearly.
He is not tall, and he is even shorter than Jiang Xuening.
The red rope is still tied up in a braid, but the joy that everyone is familiar with is completely gone on his face, only the chill and maturity that does not fit his age!
"Little treasure!"
Feng Mingyu never expected, let alone when Xiaobao returned to the crowd.
He was originally from the Heavenly Sect, and even when he came back, he didn't give a damn.
It is precisely because of this that no one else noticed him, so he was given such an opportunity to turn his merits away!
It was too late for the Heavenly Sect to react.
Jiang Xuening has escaped danger.
Huang Qian fell to the ground and widened his eyes, but lost his breath.
Xiaobao threw his long road to the ground, turned to face the people of the Tianjiao, and clasped the dagger in his hand, as if anyone wanted to attack Jiang Xuening, he was desperate!
At this point, the general trend of the Heavenly Sect has gone.
Feng Mingyu gave a miserable smile: "I didn't think that a plan would end up in someone else's urn, but Mr. Du Jun's plan was actually a bad move! The situation is stronger than people, and I am not a generation that is greedy for life and fear of death. It's just that I teach Brothers are also benevolent people, and they have no remorse. It is not a pity to respect the immortals and kill me, but I hope to spare the ordinary members of the church, and don’t implicate innocent people!”
As soon as these words came out, the remaining members of the Celestial Sect were all moved.
Even the archers who were staring at them admired it a bit.
However, Xie Wei didn't move, didn't even reply to him, just looked down, stretched out his hand slightly to his side, and spread out his palm.
On that side stood a sword.
He glanced at Xie Wei, silently untied the longbow on his back and handed it to his palm, took another feather arrow and handed it to him.
Those hands are the hands that play the qin on weekdays. The long fingers are carved like jade, and they are like green bamboo. At this moment, they are tightly clasping the bowstring and bending the bow to guide the arrow. They stretch a bow into a full moon, but the figure is like a strong ancient pine, nailed to the ground. Yes, never shook.
The gentleman's six arts have archery, and he does it, and his movements are really smooth.
However, a face that is too calm, and a pair of eyes that are deep and emotionless, make people see a cold indifference and a stagnant murderous intention in this pleasing action!
Seeing this, everyone in the Heavenly Sect below changed their expressions!
But the next moment I found out—
The arrow pointed by Xie Wei's arrow was not any of them, but the court official whose blood had soaked his robe on the other side, Zhang Zhe!
Glancing at the remnant mountains, the saint bends his bow!
Zhang Zhe pressed the wound under his rib with one hand, blood still oozing from his fingers, raised his head and looked up, his eyes collided with Xie Wei's unwavering gaze across the cold and misty void.
The opponent's hand did not tremble halfway.
Shangqing Guan Houshan, although people are crowded, but silent.
Xie Wei could see that the tip of his arrow overlapped with Zhang Zhe's head across the void.
But in this silence, another figure stood in front of Zhang Zhe.
Thin, thin.
A pale face in the grass, with a bit of panic, but stubbornly opened his slender arms, and stood firmly in front of his arrows like a rock!
Jiang, Xue, Ning!
After biting on the surname carefully, if the hostility in the inn is only one point, at this moment it is rising tenfold and a hundredfold, making him unable to suppress it, and does not want to suppress it anymore.
The face is frozen, and there is no temperature.
For a moment, Xie Wei really wanted to tear her apart with one arrow, pretending that he had never taught this student!
"Buzz!"
The bowstring vibrated, and the arrow flew like electricity!
