Just now, when Gu Qingyin was listening intently, her elbow accidentally brushed against the tiles of the roof.
Only that faint sound had already revealed her position.
Fortunately, her reaction was fast enough. When He Zhengde raised his head, she quickly used her body shape to leap away from here.
It's a pity that He Zhengde is not someone to be fooled with. Seeing the master of Qingyangmen coming out of the broken house behind him, Gu Qingyin could only groan inwardly.
"Assassins! There are assassins!"
Undoubtedly, these movements have alarmed the guards on duty at Qingyang Gate tonight.
After a few waves of exclamations, a large group of guards gathered and followed behind the door master He who was leaping to chase the thief, and followed Gu Qingyin closely.
If it weren't for Gu Qingyin's lightness skill, she might have become the ghost of He Zhengde's sword right now.
The oncoming wind was icy cold, but it still couldn't blow away the cold sweat on Gu Qingyin's back.
The swaying torch underneath made her a little more dignified.
Gu Qingyin turned around slightly, glanced at He Zhengde, who was chasing after him with a sword, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, stopped her step, and slid down a few steps along the ridge of the roof.
Seeing that the lithe figure in front of him had slowed down a bit, He Zhengde immediately quickened his pace and swung his sword with luck.
Unexpectedly, what was sprinkled head-on was a handful of unknown powder.
He Zhengde's first reaction was to wave his sleeves to block it. Unfortunately, with this dazed effort, the woman who couldn't guess her identity in front of him has already fallen from the eaves, stepped on the heads of the disciples below, and swept away.
Immediately afterwards, bursts of exclamations sounded.
"ah… "
Looking at the rolling disciples on the ground, He Zhengde couldn't help but sink his face.
Tang Shifeng, who ran behind He Zhengde, quickly jumped down to help check.
"Brother He, they are all poisoned!"
"mean!"
After He Zhengde gritted his teeth and squeezed out those two words, he made a decisive decision and immediately asked Tang Shifeng to stay and help take care of the poisoned disciples, while he took the rest of the disciples to continue searching, and by the way, ordered a few people to notify the exits of the door. Guards, so that they can strictly guard those important gates, lest people take the opportunity to escape.
In the back garden of Qingyang Gate.
Gu Qingyin continued to shrink into the rockery in the back garden, holding her breath and listening to the messy footsteps and noisy noises outside.
Clinging to the cold stone wall, the cold sweat on Gu Qingyin's forehead was already dripping out.
Just now, with the sword that He Zhengde swung, the sword energy alone had scratched the fabric on her back, and now her back was in burning pain.
"Search carefully for me! I didn't see the thief in the front and back several openings, so he must be hiding in this garden! Keep my eyes bright! The thief must be caught tonight!"
The flickering fire outside the rockery has not been extinguished for a long time.
This search lasted for a long time.
Among the flowers, on the top of the trees, in the pavilions, beside the rockery, behind the hidden corners of the garden, even under the calm lake, people have searched.
But there was no one to be seen.
During this whole process, Gu Qingyin didn't even dare to take a breath.
If she hadn't specially poured some unpleasant potion on the outside of the stone where she was hiding just now, and cleverly avoided the search of that disciple, her life would be hanging by a thread right now.
I don't know if he noticed something, but He Zhengde suddenly raised a torch and walked towards the rockery where Gu Qingyin was hiding.
"Have you searched here too?"
The disciple who was in charge of searching here didn't dare to say that he didn't go in and search carefully because of the faint smell and was afraid of being dirty, so he hurriedly responded: "Return to the sect master! I have searched inside! Nothing unusual is found!"
The structure of the rockery here is intricate, and there are countless caves inside. Isn't it a good place for Tibetans
He Zhengde pondered for a while, then said loudly: "Go in and search again! Don't let go of every corner!"
Gu Qingyin's heart skipped a beat.
The sound of approaching footsteps seemed to step on her heart step by step.
Looking out through the hollowed-out stone cave, Gu Qingyin's expression became more serious.
The light of the sword and the light of the fire were reflected in Gu Qingyin's eyes. Seeing that the disciples were getting closer and closer, Gu Qingyin had no choice but to tighten the poisonous needles between her ten fingers.
Just wait for them to find her and kill them with one shot in time.
Unexpectedly, just before those disciples found her hiding place, someone rushed over and shouted: "Sect master, sect master! Something is wrong! The library is on fire! Someone is making a fuss in the library!" It's gone! Go and have a look!"
The ancient books in Zangshu Pavilion and the martial arts in the sect are very important in Qingyang sect, how could they be destroyed so easily!
Hearing this, He Zhengde didn't care about the search here, and immediately led a large number of disciples to the direction of Zangshu Pavilion, leaving only a few people here to continue the search.
After a large number of people left, Gu Qingyin let out a heavy breath.
Fortunately, fortunately.
Fortunately it was gone in time.
It's a pity that Gu Qingyin never expected that she, who was too tense, suddenly relaxed, and was unable to support her body for a while, and fell to the side.
"who!"
Although this kind of movement is not big, it is enough to attract the attention of those left behind.
Even if a large number of people are gone, there are still nearly ten people staying here. For Gu Qingyin's current skills, those people are not very easy to deal with.
Gu Qingyin made up her mind and was ready for a fierce battle. Although her martial arts is not high, but against these nearly ten people, if she uses a little trick, she shouldn't lose too badly.
But the scary thing is that if the speed of action is not fast enough, then the commotion will definitely attract a large number of teams that have managed to leave.
Just as Gu Qingyin was hesitating, she suddenly remembered a muffled hum.
"Well… "
The sound was not loud, but after a few breaths, someone fell heavily to the ground.
The muffled groans of falling to the ground and heart-piercing shouts rang out one after another.
Gu Qingyin's heart tightened suddenly, and she hurriedly looked out of the hollowed-out cave.
The knife rises and falls, cleanly and without hesitation.
But in just a few moments, that person has already put the few people who stayed outside.
At this moment, the man in black outside was putting away the knife he had just snatched from his hand.
As if feeling something, when Gu Qingyin hid at the entrance of the cave and looked at her, she turned her head.
Gu Qingyin's heart tightened suddenly.
Too bad, he didn't die in the hands of He Zhengde, but he was going to be silenced by this unknown master, right
In the blink of an eye, the man in black outside had disappeared.
"Qingqing."
But after a while, the low cry had already reached her ears.
Tightening her wrist suddenly, Gu Qingyin just stared blankly at the man in black who came into the cave.
In the next moment, the familiar fragrance lingered in her nostrils.
Her original tension and panic were all dispelled by the familiar fragrance at this moment.
"You scared me to death!"
The voice that came from the ear seemed to be accompanied by a suppressed tremor.
Before Gu Qingyin could savor this warm embrace, someone had already dragged her out.
"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Before they react, let's run!"
In the middle of the night, the oncoming wind was a bit colder than before.
But at this moment, looking at the tightly clenched palms of the two, Gu Qingyin only felt warm in her heart.
"Ah Jin." Following Zhong Shujin as he walked through the garden, bypassing the hidden sentries, and entering the bamboo forest behind the garden, Gu Qingyin pulled down his mask and asked, "Why did you come here? "
Out of danger, Zhong Shujin also heaved a sigh of relief.
"You still have the nerve to ask me?"
Zhong Shujin stopped, pulled down his mask and turned to look at Gu Qingyin.
Gu Qingyin had rarely seen such a gloomy look on Zhong Shujin's face.
"Why didn't you tell me when you came here to do such a dangerous thing!"
Zhong Shujin seldom lost his temper with her so seriously, so Gu Qingyin felt a little uncomfortable.
She tilted her head, and said stiffly, "How did you find this place?"
"If I don't find you, what are you going to do! Are you hiding there alone waiting to die!" When he was excited, Zhong Shujin even raised his voice unconsciously: "In case something happens to you, let me What should I do!"
In the originally agile eyes, a violent storm has suddenly arisen at this moment.
That kind of cold anger is quite a bit of the momentum of a superior.
"Hush." Gu Qingyin suppressed her voice, raised her hand to touch the corner of Zhong Shujin's eyes, and said with a smile, "I'm sensible, don't be afraid."
"Don't be afraid? Why don't you tell me not to be afraid!"
Zhong Shujin was in a difficult mood at the moment, she clasped Gu Qingyin's hand that rested on her face, and with a little force, she pushed him against the thick bamboo stem behind her, and suppressed the faint anger and shouted in a low voice. He continued: "If Zhou Jinyi hadn't noticed the movement in Qingyangmen in time and woke me up, and asked Gu Ning to help him go to the library to draw attention away, what would you do!"
The pain from her back when she touched the bamboo made Gu Qingyin frowned. She didn't dare to let Zhong Shujin notice this strangeness, so she quickly put a sticker on Zhong Shujin's body, hugged her waist and murmured: "Ah Jin ,Thank you."
Such meekness dispelled the trace of anger in Zhong Shujin's heart.
She was originally angry because she was worried, and naturally she didn't mean anything seriously. Now she didn't scold Gu Qingyin any more, she just snorted slightly, and hugged him tightly in her arms.
"Hmph, thank me for what I do, if you want to thank, go and thank Zhou Jinyi!"
Gu Qingyin raised the corners of her mouth, but her arms hugged Zhong Shujin's waist even tighter.
"Well, I listen to you."
The warmth from Zhong Shujin's body was directly transmitted to Gu Qingyin's heart.
Such a hug made her feel very nostalgic.
It was almost impossible to hug anymore.
Gu Qingyin didn't want to let go, and Zhong Shujinzi wouldn't let go either.
Qingyangmen is already in a commotion, chasing thieves and putting out fires, so no one will come to this remote bamboo forest to disturb or anything.
As the wind blew, Zhong Shujin picked up the bamboo leaves that fell on Gu Qingyin's head and threw them aside.
At this moment, she has calmed down a lot.
"Qingqing." Zhong Shujin lowered his head slightly, pressed a kiss on Gu Qingyin's hair, stroked Gu Qingyin's hair hanging down his back, and murmured: "You really went too far this time."
As soon as Gu Qingyin raised her head, she met the faint mist in Zhong Shujin's eyes.
She opened her mouth, and was hesitating how to coax this frightened sweetheart, but the man suddenly held her chin and kissed her.
Such initiative and enthusiasm rarely appeared in Zhong Shujin.
Before Gu Qingyin could react, Zhong Shujin was pressing on the bamboo stem, frantically absorbing it.
