The fourth young master of Yan rode Xueyue, and Yan Qi sat behind him, the brother and sister asked the direction in which the gangsters fled, and galloped out, because the street where the gangsters ran rampant was under martial law by the government, no cars, horses and pedestrians were allowed to walk around on this street, and the two people had to take the path, and there were people everywhere in the festival, and they couldn't walk on the street, so the tourists all crowded into the nearby paths, and many vehicles and horses were blocked on the spot.

So Yan Qi witnessed the kung fu of the fourth young master Yan on the horse, moving forward, crossing diagonally, jumping lightly, stopping suddenly, and changing direction quickly - the horse under the crotch seemed to be in touch with his heart, and he said that he would run and live, and he walked through the congested narrow alleys and narrow roads as if he had entered a no-man's land, and even more flexible than ordinary people's own legs!

Until the horse came to a crossroads, the officials who were under martial law in the government were gone, and the pedestrians on the road were safe and secure, and they didn't know anything, so the fourth young master Yan reined in his horse and tilted his head and asked Yan Qi: "Could it be that we are going the wrong way?"

Yan Qisi looked down and pointed to the north: "Over there." ”

Fourth Young Master Yan turned the horse's head without hesitation: "Okay, Seventh Sister, you hold me tightly, saving people is like fighting a fire, I want to chase after the horse with all my might!"

There are not too many pedestrians on the street turning north, but there are also a lot of pedestrians, and the fourth young master Yan didn't care about the rules of not running horses on the streets of Jingzhong at this time, and even though the snow moon was like a gust of wind, it was like a gust of wind through the gap in the crowd, and before people could see it clearly, the shadow had already swept past, and only from the corners of the hair and shirt that was curled up by the wind could it be known that someone had just ridden a horse and brushed past him.

Thousands of meters long street, Fourth Young Master Yan galloped down all the way down with the snow moon and never touched any pedestrians, Yan Qi listened to the sound of the wind behind him, although this horse was extremely fast and had all kinds of movements and jumps, but because of the super high control power of Fourth Young Master Yan, he felt like he was walking on horseback!

In the northernmost part of Kyoto Castle, there is a religious area, when the court pays equal attention to Buddhism and Taoism, and there are many temples in the city, especially in the north, there are more than a dozen large and small, and the incense is prosperous.

Under the big festival, there are not more visitors in these temples than in the past, everyone goes to climb to enjoy the scenery and have a picnic, and the monks and Taoists rarely settle down. Fourth Young Master Yan took Yan Qi to travel on horseback, and there were already few pedestrians on the street, so he couldn't help slowing down slightly, and asked Yan Qi: "Seventh sister, do you think the murderer will hide around here?"

"I'm 90% sure. "Yan Qidao.

The murderer took the hostage and ran from west to east for a while, but then to the east is the lake, there is nowhere to hide, and it is not easy to get rid of the pursuers, but to the south is the most prosperous business district in the city, the crowd is more difficult to get out, the murderer has a sword and a murder weapon, and took hostages, which can not be concealed in the public, and it is easy to be discovered by the pursuers, don't forget, the eyes of the masses are bright, although they are hidden in the city, they can be hostages with weapons, and they are afraid that they are also stained with the blood of passers-by who were cut down, this look can not be hidden, the officers and soldiers are dispatched, the masses help, and you can find out in minutes。

Therefore, we can only go north, there are few people in the north, and if we run for a while, we can avoid the sight of witnesses, and the most important thing is that if we can escape from the north gate, we will go further north to the 100,000 mountains! As long as we enter the 100,000 mountains, even the officers and soldiers will be powerless to enter!

But how could the city gate be easily mixed out, if everyone could enter and exit calmly, the capital of the dynasty would have been touched by the enemy ten thousand times that day. Therefore, Yan Qi speculated that the gang of murderers would not be in a hurry to get out of the city for the time being, at least they would have to find a place to disguise themselves, and then mix out under the guise of ideas.

And after they are properly disguised, the hostages are afraid that they will have no use value.

"Where are they hiding?" Fourth Young Master Yan slowed down his horse and carefully observed the surroundings.

"In the temple," Yan Qidao said, "the only thing that officers and soldiers can't trespass on is the temple, especially the temple in Beijing, unless they have the permission of the Ministry of War, if they don't have permission, they can only surround the temple first." ”

"That makes sense!" Fourth Young Master Yan said, "There are dozens of temples here, and it takes a long time to go in and search them one by one, and with this kung fu, the murderers have already disguised themselves and run away!-Hey, why haven't the soldiers of the government arrived yet?!"

"It's not so fast, you have to send someone to notify the Terracotta Division first, and then you have to transfer troops to arrest it, this process will take a lot of time. ”

"Then let's find the murderer's hiding place first!" Fourth Young Master Yan said decisively.

"Okay, focus on finding a smaller temple, which doesn't look eye-catching from the outside. "Yan Qidao.

Young Master Yan re-mounted his horse, ran for a while and stopped in front of a small temple called "Yonghe Temple", and saw that the temple door was open, and a small novice was sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground with a big broom.

"Seventh sister, you are waiting on the horse, I'll go in and ask!" Fourth Young Master Yan was about to jump off the horse as he spoke, but was stopped by Yan Qi.

"No, this one is too small, even if you sneak in, you will be discovered, not to mention that the little novice holding the broom hand does not tremble in the slightest, he must know nothing. ”

"Then let's go elsewhere," Fourth Young Master Yan continued to walk forward with the horse's belly, "but it's too slow to find them one by one, and by the time we find them, I'm afraid that the murderer will have already slipped away." ”

"Fourth brother, go over there. Yan Qi pointed to a nine-story pagoda not far away, climbing high and looking into the distance, overlooking the overall situation, it was an excellent place to go.

When the brothers and sisters arrived at the bottom of the tower, Yan Qi asked the fourth young master Yan to stay below and watch the horse, and he ran into the tower and rushed to the top in one breath, there were four or five tourists on the top of the tower, who were looking at the distance by the railing to make some sour poems, but they didn't seem to know what was happening under their feet.

Yan Qi looked down, a huge temple hall in the bottom of his eyes, which temple monks are chanting, which temple Taoist priests are doing things, which nuns are washing clothes in the courtyard, all kinds of curtains, are clearly seen by these eyes.

But there is also such a temple, half of the shadow in the courtyard is missing, the front hall, the apse, the monk's house, the meditation room, the courtyard is empty, unusual.

Yan Qi came down from the tower and pointed out the direction to the fourth young master Yan, and the two of them rode to the gate of the temple called Yuanming Temple in a moment.

Fourth Young Master Yan tied his horse to the horse tethering stone, but heard Yan Qi say to him: "Fourth brother, you wait outside, I'll go in and take a look." ”

"I'm my brother, you have to listen to me," Fourth Young Master Yan said, "I'll go in first, you wait outside." ”

"Then let's go in together. "Yan Qidao.

"Good. ”

This was discussed, the two of them carried bows and arrows on their backs, but they didn't hold them in their hands first, and stepped forward to push the temple door, "squeak, squeak" sounded, just stepped forward, and saw a middle-aged monk hurriedly running out of the front hall, his scalp was glowing blue in the sun, and he saw that it was two and a half children, and he hurriedly shouted: "What to do?!"

"Incense. The brother and sister lied in unison.

"The temple is closed today, and no pilgrims are accepted, so please go back to the two donors. The monk ran to the front and saluted them with his hands together.

"Do you want to celebrate the festival too?" Yan Qi asked.

"There is a meditation class today, so I can't receive two of you. The monk lifted his face and smiled.

Fourth Young Master Yan quietly observed the monk from the side, but he saw that his expression was calm, neither panicked nor evaded, and his voice was full of anger.

"Okay, then we'll come back another day. "Yan Qidao.

The fourth young master of Heyan withdrew from the door, and saw that the monk still covered the door and did not bolt it, and heard the footsteps walking back in the direction of the main hall.

"The monk didn't seem to be nervous just now, isn't the murderer in this temple?" Fourth Young Master Yan scratched his head.

"The murderer is in this temple. Yan Qi said, "Fourth brother, you untie the horse, let's go to the back." ”

Fourth Young Master Yan hurriedly went to untie the horse, and followed Yan Qi back and asked her, "Seventh sister, how can you be sure that the murderer is inside?"

"The monk just now is not a real monk," Yan Qidao said, "his hair is freshly shaved, there are a few hair scraps on his scalp, and most importantly, he smells of blood on his body." ”

"Why didn't I smell it!" Fourth Young Master Yan exclaimed, but he didn't ask any more, just followed Yan Qi to the back of the temple.

The smell of blood, I smelled a lot in my previous life, and I still can't escape Yan Qi's nose in this life, and what Yan Qi didn't say is that in addition to the smell of blood, this monk also has anger, and anger is not smelled, but perceived by the experience of a hundred battles.

After the two people went around to the temple, they found a big locust tree and tied the horse, Yan Qi looked at the courtyard wall, it was one zhang high, that is, the trunk was also ten meters away from the courtyard wall, but he didn't say a word, climbed the trunk and climbed up, Yan Si Young Master saw this and hurriedly followed, climbing the tree is his forte, but he didn't climb a few steps, and when he looked up, Yan Qi had climbed to the branch of the main branch, and couldn't help but be stunned.

After the fourth young master Yan also climbed up, Yan Qi said to him: "Fourth brother, you stay here, I'll go in and take a look, if you see someone chasing me out, you can release arrows to cover me." ”

"I'll go in with you! I have to protect you!" Fourth Young Master Yan refused to do good this time.

Yan Qi thought for a while and said, "Then let's do it, if you can get in from here, you can follow me in, and if you can't get in, stay here and wait to cover me, okay?"

"Okay!" Fourth Young Master Yan nodded hurriedly.

"Then I'll come first. Yan Qi said as he climbed the branch of the old locust tree, and then climbed in the direction of the courtyard wall.

Fourth Young Master Yan didn't dare to follow immediately, the branches of this tree were too thin to bear the weight of the two of them, so he had to stand on the main branch to watch first, but the more he looked at it, the bigger his eyes became-Seventh Sister is crawling, this is completely like a little monkey swinging around between the branches without hindrance!

The crown of this old locust tree is very large, although the trunk is far away from the courtyard wall, but the crown can already cover the courtyard wall, but the end of the crown is getting thinner and thinner, and it can't bear the weight of a person at all.

However, his seventh sister was really like this, under his nose, she climbed the branches and branches at an incredible speed all the way to the courtyard wall, and before she could climb to the thin tip, she was already grabbing the branch and swinging forward, and the person flew out of the tree, and landed on the wall accurately and steadily!

Fourth Young Master Yan opened his mouth wide, how could the little seventh sister who had always been chubby in his impression suddenly become so light and clever?! No, not clever, but sharp! The leisurely movements between the branches, the posture of flying in the air and falling towards the wall, all of them were refined and neat, and even so sharp that they were almost ruthless.

Fourth Young Master Yan finally knew why Yan Qi had to make Fang Cai's request, because he couldn't go from the tree to the temple like her, he was afraid that he would fall off the branch and fall to the ground if he climbed halfway through such a branch, but his seventh sister went out and landed on the wall directly from this half of the place, even if he could get out, he was not sure that he could just land on the wall and stabilize his body.

He didn't understand how Yan Qi could succeed once, and he could see that she was not a coincidence, she would be able to succeed ten times if she jumped ten times, and she could still succeed once if she jumped somewhere else.

Fourth Young Master Yan chose to stay on the tree, and after watching Yan Qi wave his hand at him, he jumped down from the top of the wall.

Yan Qi jumped off the tree, did not rush to move, took down the bow on his back and held it in his hand, put an arrow between his fingers, observed the terrain in situ for a while, and then looked at the Buddha hall in front of him, through the back window of the glass, he could only see the back of a large Buddha statue painted with gold powder, but then look at the powder walls on both sides - there are figures shaking!

Yan Qi did not go in the direction of the hall first, but turned to the opposite side of the monk's house built along the courtyard wall, the doors and windows of the monk's house were not embedded with glass, but pasted window paper, the people inside could not see the outside, and the people outside could not see the inside.

Fourth Young Master Yan raised his bow and arrow on the tree, and Yan sù seriously aimed at the direction of Yan Qi's travel, he saw that she walked lightly, as if she was running in a dense forest full of fallen leaves and dead branches, but every time she fell, she would not make the slightest sound.

She ran to the front of the monk's house, her eyes staring at the back window of the Buddha hall in front of her, but her ears were sticking to the window of the monk's house, one by one, and finally stopped outside the room closest to the direction of the Buddha hall, and listened quietly for a while, her face was still unchanged and expressionless, I don't know what she heard, what she was thinking, what she was going to do, she-

Yan Qi suddenly moved, took two steps to the side, raised his bow, and aimed the tip of the arrow at the wooden window lattice pasted with window paper—what was she going to do? She couldn't see the situation in the house through the window paper, why did she raise her arrow?

Before Fourth Young Master Yan could figure it out, Yan Qi's arrow had already entered through the window! Fourth Young Master Yan's hand holding the bow couldn't help but tighten, the nerves in his whole body tensed, and his eyes stared at the door and window of the monk's room without blinking, but after the arrow was shot, there was no movement in the room-what was the seventh sister doing?

Fourth Young Master Yan watched Yan Qi gently push open the door, and then walked in, his heart couldn't help but raise his throat, and he didn't see her come out of it for a long time.

Yan Qi walked into the house and saw more than a dozen monks who were tied up with five flowers and gagged with a cloth ball, everyone looked at her in horror, and on the ground of the house, a person wearing monk's robe was splashed on the spot with an arrow through his throat.

If you look closely at this person's scalp, there are also a few fine hair scraps.

Of course, Yan Qi judged his location and the height of his throat by listening to the sound outside the room, and before shooting him, this person was threatening the monks not to make any sound.

The sound of footsteps walking back and forth in the house was only him, so Yan Qi concluded that he was the only murderer in the house.

"Don't panic, don't make a noise, I'll untie you, the two of you leave through the back door of the courtyard, and then hurry to report to the official. Yan Qi whispered to the monks.

The monks nodded, Yan Qi stepped forward to untie everyone, and then went out, stared at the movement in the Buddha hall in front of him, beckoned to the house, and ran out of the two monks, trembling and cautiously running along the back of the monk's room, pulling out the bolt of the backyard door, and quickly running out.

The two people successfully escaped, Yan Qi beckoned again, and two more came out of the house and ran back, the crowd was too big, so they could only flee in batches. When the fourth young master Yan saw it in the tree, he hurriedly slid down the tree, untied his horse and ran to the back door, asked a monk who could ride a horse, handed the horse to him, and asked him to hurry up and bring the officers and soldiers here, while he himself held a bow and guarded outside the back door, ready to wait for all the monks to flee before going in to help Yan Qi.

However, the plan could not catch up with the change, a pair of monks who were fleeing were too nervous, one of them stumbled on the side of the garlic, the next one was already weak, and rushed forward directly under the collision, and under the porch in front of him was placed a flat pole and a stacked bucket, and for a while there was a crackling sound!

"Run!" Yan Qi waved at the rest of the people in the room, a group of people rushed out of the door in fright and ran back, the movement was already heard in the Buddha hall in front, Yan Qi saw through the glass window that there were four or five "monks" with evil faces bypassing the Buddha statue, kicking open the door of the hall with a steel knife and rushing straight towards her, Yan Qi raised his bow, the eight winds did not move under his feet, and the arrow in his hand pulled the meteor, swishing and swishing, those few people only felt a cold throat in front of them, and they didn't have time to hum, and five lives died in Huangquan in an instant!
