In the case of deliberately gathering heroes from the green forest, no one knows how many monks and masters there are in the Niu Shou Mountain Taoist Temple.
The six groups of Clan Toshiyan are now left with five groups with combat effectiveness. Although there are masters like Wu You's entourage and Li Jing'an's entourage, the entourage's responsibility is to protect rather than others. The cultivation base of the monks may not necessarily be lower than them.
After all, it is a group of existences that can arrange teleportation arrays.
So everyone is a little worried.
After confirming that the rebels were the Taoists of Niu Shou Mountain, there was an argument among the clan leaders about what to do next.
If he withdraws here, the assessment of the clan Toshihiko is not considered unfinished. This time the assessment is divided into two parts, the detection and the arrest of the thief. But since the thief is strong and Junyan can't beat it by himself, there is no need to arrest him. After all, the assessment test is Jun Yan, not the forces behind Jun Yan.
Most of the nobles of the clan chose to withdraw, Li Ji said: "We are here to participate in the assessment. The purpose is to become an official, not to fight to the death with thieves. We don't need to take that risk, as long as we can pass the assessment."
What he said spoke the minds of many handsome men, that thieves and thieves harmed the place, and even intended to rebel and endanger the court, which is a great harm—but what does that have to do with them, handsome men of the clan
It is the business of the government and the imperial court to stabilize the place and suppress the rebels. The purpose of their coming here is to pass the examination.
"I agree with Brother Ji's opinion. Let's evacuate first, and report the situation here to the imperial court after we go back. Let the imperial court send people to eradicate the monsters and thieves in the Taoist temple of Niu Shou Mountain." A clan leader echoed.
Li Ji glanced at the man, and a look of joy flashed across his eyes.
The reason why he spoke so bluntly just now is because of his position and intention - to persuade other Jun Yan to leave with him.
Li Ji has been injured and his followers have been broken, so he no longer has the ability to continue to investigate, but so far this trip, he has completed the task of detecting the thieves together with everyone, and the credit is not bad, even at the expense of his followers Even if it's hard work, when the imperial court assesses him, he will take pity on him and take care of him accordingly.
But if everyone continues to investigate, Li Ji will not be able to participate, and when other people gain more, they will have more credit than him, and his assessment ranking will inevitably fall behind, which Li Ji cannot accept.
Li Jing'an and Wu You disagreed to withdraw.
They want to keep probing.
Li Jing'an said: "The demon way of Niu Shou Mountain has harmed the place and hurt countless people. As the sons of the clan, how can we not take responsibility? It would be fine if we didn't come here. Now that we are here, how can we retreat and not go to the Taoist to see, Try to rescue the mountain people?"
What he said was righteous, but everyone knew that he was just relying on his followers to be strong and wanted to achieve some new results to get extra points. After all, for him, just passing the assessment was far from enough. The goal is to get number one.
Li Jing'an glanced at Wu You, as if he was waiting for her choice. Among the six groups of the clan, Li Jing'an and Wu You were the strongest, so they were also the most direct competitors.
Wu You said: "You're right, I agree with your point of view, we still have to go to the Taoist temple of Niu Shou Mountain, and we must try to rescue those mountain people who are suffering."
Li Jing'an stood up, "In that case, will the princess accompany me?"
Wu You nodded. Although the two groups are in a competitive relationship, going to the Taoist temple is also dangerous. They all take care of each other and need some cooperation. She looked at Li Ye and asked, "Brother Ye, do you want to go together?"
Li Ye pondered for a while, but finally sighed, shook his head and said, "I won't go."
He glanced at Wu You's entourage, smiled wryly and said, "The mountain is dangerous, I don't have that strength."
Then he glanced at Li Jingan again, as if he was worried about Li Jingan, afraid that the other party would plot against him in the mountains: "And I have no intention of competing for rankings."
What he meant was obvious, as long as he could pass the assessment and become an official, he would be satisfied.
Wu You was very regretful and a little bit reluctant, but he couldn't say too much, his little face was very tangled, Li Ye saw her like this, and took the initiative to comfort her: "I'll wait for you in Hu County, you go and come back quickly That's right."
Wu You finally cheered up a bit, and nodded vigorously: "I will be back soon, Brother Ye must wait for me!"
Li Jing'an sneered at the side, curled his lips secretly, and said to the woman beside him: "It's about returning the prince, it's just a matter of courage."
Song Yuanqiao saw that Wu You and Li Jing'an had made up their minds to leave everyone behind and enter the mountain alone, a well-disguised joy flashed in his eyes, and he said with worry on his face: "The mountain is dangerous, and there are many thieves in the Taoist temple. ... "
Li Jing'an was so cold and arrogant that he ignored Song Yuanqiao at all and ignored his words. He walked up to Wu You and said with a smile, "Princess Li, please."

...
Wu You and Li Jing'an took their entourages and left the entrance of the village. Before leaving, Wu You gave Li Ye a reluctant look, and Li Ye nodded in response.
In the eyes of everyone, there is nothing wrong with this scene. Princess Li's feelings for Li Ye are almost well known in the clan, so it is impossible for them to expect that Li Ye and Wu You had any secret plans .
After Wu You and Li Jing'an left, Song Yuanqiao greeted everyone with a smile: "After a fierce battle today, everyone must be a little tired. How about I rest here for half a day and set off tomorrow? The ship was destroyed during the fierce battle, and someone needs to Time to repair."
Everyone said: "There is Lao Song County Captain."
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, Li Ye led Shangguan Qingcheng, and walked around the village a few times. The other clan leaders also wandered around bored.
Song Yuanqiao, who was repairing the boat by the river, and the middle-aged man he brought together, talked in a low voice.
"Will Princess Li and Li Jing'an go to the deep mountains, will there be any problems? If they really find the Taoist temple..." The middle-aged man was a little worried. Song Yuanqiao said: "Princess Li and Mr. Li don't know the way to the Taoist temple. They brought the villagers as guides. The villagers can't walk fast, and they know that there are tigers on the mountain and they prefer to go to the mountain. They must be on guard. It is impossible to let the followers Take them flying with the sword? So their journey must not be fast... Wait for us here... It is not difficult to catch up with them, and they will have to come back halfway!"
Speaking of this, he didn't continue talking, but the middle-aged man had already shown a clear expression.
At night, everyone found a room where they could enter their Dharma eyes to rest.
Because there was nothing for entertainment, everyone meditated and breathed out, and turned off the lights early.
The house Li Ye chose was quite close to the entrance of the village, away from the riverside. He meditated in the inner room, and Shangguan Qingcheng stayed in the main room.
In the middle of the night, there was nothing to say until midnight. Li Ye opened his eyes and saw a clear light on the window sill. Looking up, there was a crescent moon under the eaves, shining brightly in the sea of stars. The lush old locust tree casts a large shadow.
Just at this moment, a black shadow jumped out like an ape from the dark cloud of branches and leaves of the old locust tree, two leaves floated behind him, half of the bright moon was covered by his clothes, and the outline of his body was outlined by the clear brilliance. Chic and freehand.
Leaping into the courtyard wall, before anyone arrived, the long sword was already out of its sheath, and the brilliance was like a floating light, flashing on the sword, and he broke through the window in an instant, and the sword went straight to Li Ye's face!
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Li Ye patted the bed with his hands, and jumped up facing the black shadow of the broken window. His body moved, and Lu Gujian was already in his hand. He drew the sword out of its sheath, and accompanied by a loud sword chant, a white brilliance shone from the scabbard. , the long sword slashed down vertically, splitting a white horse.
The momentary stream of light illuminates the humble house.
Before one stream of light disappeared, the second stream of light had already appeared.
In the blink of an eye, Li Ye slashed seven sword lights, vertically, horizontally, horizontally, horizontally, horizontally, downwardly, upwardly, upwardly, and stabbingly, flying towards the black shadow one after another from different angles, enveloping his entire body in the sword energy.
The house is like stars, the mottled mud walls, brown doors and windows are clearly visible in the sword energy.
The black shadow's eyes widened, and the sword he thrust out quickly retracted, and he swung repeatedly in front of him, splitting the sword energy facing him.
However, the timing of Li Ye's attack was just right, the black shadow just broke through the window, his body was about to enter, and he was stuck in the window wall.
The seven sword qi were split into four by him, and three still hit him.
Amidst the ear-piercing sound, three streams of blood mist erupted from the black shadow's left shoulder, right rib, and right leg at the same time, and his entire body was pushed back from the window. Fortunately, he stabilized his figure and did not fall down. When returning to the courtyard, he still unavoidably took a few steps back.
And when he was retreating, Li Ye had already seized the opportunity to get out of the window sill, and attacked in front of him without stopping.
"It really is you." Li Ye saw the other party's face clearly and sneered.
At this time, Shangguan Qingcheng had already rushed to kill him with a knife.
