In the Taoist temple, looking at Dou Yihu and Qin Han who were led in by the pale yellow Taoist robe, Diao Yue's eyes with a taste of shame suddenly fell on the two of them, and her teeth were clenched.

"The junior Dou Yihu (Qin Han) visits the predecessor of the Golden Knife Lady!" Both of them bowed respectfully to the Virgin of the Golden Sword.

The Holy Mother of the Golden Sword looked at the two of them inexplicably, and asked indifferently, "Why are you here?" ”

"Back to seniors! Senior brother and I came here to return the Treasure of Zhuyin Mountain, the Soul Dementor Golden Bell," Qin Han said straightforwardly.

Raising her eyebrows slightly, the Golden Sword Holy Mother looked at Qin Han with a little surprise: "Oh? Return the Dementor Golden Bell? ”

"How can I be in your hands with my Zhuyin Mountain Treasure Dementor Golden Bell?" Turning around, the Holy Mother of the Golden Sword suddenly turned cold, her eyes looked at Qin Han and Dou Yihu fiercely, and a fierce and terrifying aura enveloped the two of them, making them both of them stagnate with slightly changing faces.

Qin Han, who took a light breath, said unhurriedly: "Senior Rong Yu!" A few days ago, the vanguard army of our imperial court entered the Xuanwu Pass under the leadership of General Shan Ximu, and was blocked by the golden bell and bronze bell array on the way. General Shan knew very well the power of the dementor golden bell, and in front of the two armies, the juniors were also affected by the dementor golden bell more than once and escaped for their lives. Therefore, Qin Han dared to go to steal the soul golden bell and offended Miss Diao. Today, Qin Han is here to make amends. I also hope that my seniors will forgive, and I don't want to punish Miss Diao. ”

"You're pretty honest!" The Holy Mother of the Golden Knife, whose expression was slightly softened, glanced at Diao Yue'e, whose pretty face changed slightly, biting her red lips lightly, and then looked at Qin Han again with slightly narrowed eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Qin Han." Let me ask you, how did Shan Ximu break the Admiralty Bronze Bell Array? ”

"This" Qin Han was slightly stunned, and hesitated slightly before saying, "Senior." This junior really doesn't know too well. I only know that it seems that General Shan invited a master to help him break the Admiralty Bronze Bell Array. ”

Expert? The Holy Mother of the Golden Sword frowned slightly when she heard this, and she was silent.

Seeing this, Diao Yue's beautiful eyes flashed slightly and hurriedly said: "Teacher, it is a woman in white, the whole person is cold, and she looks like she is in her twenties, but her cultivation is very profound." ”

"Oh? How do you know how she cultivates? The Holy Mother of the Golden Knife raised her eyebrows and looked at Diao Yue'e.

Diao Yue'e said, "Teacher." In front of her, the Admiralty boy can only rely on Zhenyue Admiralty to escape. ”

When the Holy Mother of the Golden Sword heard this, her expression was immediately moved: "Forced the Admiralty boy to flee for his life? This female cultivator is only afraid that she is not weaker than being a teacher. In the midst of the casual practice, it seems that I have never heard of such a person. Don't. Which sects of immortal cultivation are they from? ”

After thinking about it slightly, the Holy Mother of the Golden Knife shook her head lightly, and turned to look at Qin Han, Dou Yihu and Diao Yue'e: "Yue'e, lose the soul golden bell." Although you have a lot of responsibility. But being a teacher will not be a heavy responsibility for you. The golden bell of the dementor is a treasure for the life of the teacher, and it has been practiced for many years, even if it is taken by someone, it is difficult to refine and control it. So, you don't have to worry too much. ”

As he spoke, he saw the Holy Mother of the Golden Sword wave her hand slightly, and with the crisp ringing of the bell, a golden light flew out of Qin Han's arms. Fell into the hands of the Holy Mother of the Golden Knife and turned into the small golden bell of the dementor.

"Yue'e!" Our Lady of the Golden Sword looked at Diao Yue'e and said, "The imperial court's expedition to the west is the trend of the times. Destiny. When you obey the heavens and the people, persuade your father not to help the rebellion, otherwise it will only end up in pieces. This dementor golden bell will be handed over to you for safekeeping. You, go back! ”

After speaking, the Holy Mother of the Golden Sword waved her hand and sent the dementor golden bell to Diao Yue'e, and then closed her eyes and said nothing.

Diao Yue'e, who took the dementor golden bell in surprise, was busy paying respectful thanks to the Holy Mother of the Golden Sword, and then got up, looked at Qin Han with slightly complicated eyes, and then turned to leave.

"Senior, then our senior brother has also taken his leave!" As he spoke, Dou Yihu pulled Qin Han, who had left with Diao Yue'e, to salute the Holy Mother of the Golden Sword respectfully, and then withdrew from the Taoist temple.

After they all left, a figure turned out behind the curtain on the side, and it was Xue Dingshan.

"Thank you seniors for making it perfect!" Xue Dingshan bowed to the Holy Mother of the Golden Knife who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed.

The Holy Mother of the Golden Sword closed her eyes without raising her head and said indifferently: "Yue'e is my favorite disciple, otherwise she would not have given her the Soul Golden Bell, how could she really blame her?" Okay, Xue Dingshan, I know you still have important business, so I won't leave you! ”

"Farewell juniors!" Xue Dingshan hurriedly bowed his hand, and then walked towards the outside of the Taoist temple.

On the mountain road down the mountain, I saw Diao Yue'e, who was holding a jujube red horse on the hillside, from a distance, and threw the reins of the war horse in her hand to Qin Han of Dou Yihu, and hurriedly chased after her.

"Damn! This guy with the opposite sex and no humanity! Dou Yihu, who was glaring slightly, had no choice but to lead the two war horses depressedly and follow behind slowly.

The three of them rushed back to Xuanwu Pass from Zhuyin Mountain along the way, because Dou Yihu had the intention to avoid Qin Han and Diao Yue'e, so he didn't know what they talked about along the way, only that their relationship seemed to have become very close along the way, like a pair of young boys and girls in love.

At a fork in the road three or four miles outside Xuanwu Pass, looking at Qin Han and Diao Yue'e, who were reluctant to separate, Dou Yihu was chewing slowly in his mouth with a grass root not far away, his expression was slightly helpless.

"How's it going, are you done?" Seeing Diao Yue'e get on the horse and leave, Qin Han also turned to lead the horse after seeing her leave, Dou Yihu hurriedly greeted her and said with a somewhat obscene smile.

Glaring at Dou Yihu angrily, Qin Han still nodded and said, "Yue'e has already promised to persuade her father to surrender to us. Diao Yingxiang is such a daughter as Yue'e, and she is also his only relative, he should agree to surrender. ”

"Okay! Bro! Now, the Xuanwu Pass is in hand, and the wife is also in hand! Dou Yihu laughed playfully.

Qin Han couldn't help but blush when he heard this, and said with a little emptiness: "What wife has you got?" Don't talk nonsense! ”

"Okay, okay, I'm talking nonsense! I'm talking nonsense! Dou Yihu nodded with a forced smile and said, making Qin Han on the side a little speechless.

While talking and laughing, the two of them got on their horses and galloped towards the Tang Army camp.

In the Tang camp, in the military tent where Shan Ximu lived, Dou Yihu and Qin Han came to see Shan Ximu as soon as they came back.

"Coming back? How's things going? Shan Ximu smiled and looked at the two who were in good spirits.

Dou Yihu shrugged his shoulders and pouted and smiled: "It's done!" Qin Han has gained a lot this time, but pity me for suffering along the way! ”

When Qin Han heard this, he immediately stared sideways at Dou Yihu. The look of gritting his teeth seemed to be eager to eat Dou Yihu.

"Alright, stop making trouble!" Seeing this, Shan Ximu, who shook his head and smiled, immediately said, "Don't be in a hurry to be happy first." I've been rewarded by scouts. Li Luanhu's army is coming, less than a hundred miles away, and if you speed up the march, you can almost arrive in an hour at most. ”

Hearing this, Qin Han and Dou Yihu both glanced at each other with slightly changed expressions, and their expressions became solemn.

"This bastard is obviously here to pick up a bargain," Dou Yihu gritted his teeth with hatred, "like a dog that smells a stench!" ”

Qin Han also frowned: "Big Brother Shan." Diao Yue'e has already promised to persuade her father to surrender, but within an hour, it is difficult to say whether she can succeed! ”

"If nothing else. It should work. It's a pity," Shan Ximu said, shaking his head slightly.

When Qin Han heard this, his face suddenly changed slightly: "Brother Shan, are you saying that something unexpected happened in Xuanwu Pass?" ”

"Not bad!" Shan Ximu nodded and said, "I received reliable information, Yang Fan, the master of the White Tiger Pass, quietly entered the Xuanwu Pass with more than ten martial arts masters. And. There should be an internal response of Yang Fan in Xuanwu Pass. And most of that should be the deputy general Red Lida. Now, the entire Xuanwu Pass may have been controlled by Yang Fan. If Diao Yingxiang and Diao Yue'e's father and daughter show their attitude of surrendering to us, I am afraid that there will be danger. ”

Qin Han's face turned slightly pale when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Shan, think of a way!" ”

"Big brother, you must have a way, right? We can't let Yang Fan control Xuanwu Pass, otherwise it will be even more difficult for us to capture Xuanwu Pass," Dou Yihu who glanced at Qin Han. also frowned and said hurriedly.

Shan Ximu nodded and sighed lightly: "It's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen!" And then the perfect plan. There may also be things that go wrong. We think we're doing a good job, but the slightest accident at a critical time can fall short. Similarly, Yang Fan thought he was very smart, but he didn't necessarily win this game. ”

"Oops! Big brother, don't sell it. What now, you say! Dou Yihu said.

Shan Ximu, who nodded and smiled, glanced at Qin Han, who was anxious, and took a light breath and said, "It's very simple, the three of us will go to Xuanwu Pass, rescue Diao Yingxiang and Diao Yue'e, and thwart Yang Fan's conspiracy." In this way, Diao Yingxiang and Diao Yue'e have to surrender to us. ”

"Just the three of us? I'm afraid it's a little difficult to save people, right? Dou Yihu couldn't help but say: "Even if Diao Yingxiang and Diao Yue'e are rescued, how can the three of us take the Xuanwu Pass?" ”

Qin Han was also busy and said: "Yes, Brother Shan, if Yang Fan has already controlled Xuanwu Pass, we have no chance at all." ”

Shan Ximu shook his head and smiled: "Diao Yingxiang has been a general soldier in Xuanwu Pass for one or two decades, do you think he will have no cronies under him?" His cronies, including the soldiers, would not be so easy to obey Yang Fan's dispatch. Even if Yang Fan was prepared to bring some soldiers and horses, it would not be too many. Xuanwu Pass is no longer a monolith, if we want to win Xuanwu Pass, will it be so difficult? ”

"Don't worry! I have prepared General Luo to prepare the army for battle at any time. Now, the three of us have to rush to Xuanwu Pass as much as possible. Otherwise, if Yang Fan killed Diao Yingxiang and Diao Yue, it would be a bit of trouble. Although he should not use such drastic measures to appease the soldiers in Kannai now, we can't take risks! Shan Ximu said with a solemn expression.

Dou Yihu and Qin Han, who looked at each other and nodded, were both busy and left the Tang camp with Shan Ximu

In Xuanwu Pass, above the lobby of Diao Mansion, Yang Fan, who was dressed in military uniform, sat on the main seat, and behind him stood a red Lida with a full face.

"Two, the king treats your father and daughter well, why rebel?" Yang Fan, who was playing with the teacup in his hand, looked at Diao Yingxiang and Diao Yue'e who were a little ugly in the hall with his eyes squinted indifferently.

At this time, on either side of the father and daughter stood two men with cold faces and iron and bloody aura.

Not far away, an emaciated man was bound and held by two other indifferent men in black.

Outside, the two Xiliang soldiers, who were obviously Xuanwu Pass soldiers, confronted each other like-for-tat, and there were many elite soldiers of Baihu Pass with tiger head decorations on their shoulders surrounding, and the bowstring was tight.

looked at Yang Fan, who was still calm in the face of such a tense situation. Diao Yingxiang couldn't help gritting his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Yang Fan, you are the master of the White Tiger Pass, and I am the master of the Xuanwu Pass." You actually sent troops into my Xuanwu Pass, could it be that you couldn't get the king's order? ”

"Nope!" Yang Fan frowned lightly and simply admitted.

Diao Yingxiang froze slightly, and then looked fiercely at Hong Lida who was standing beside Yang Fan: "Hong Lida, you sinister villain, you actually colluded with outsiders to harm me, I, Diao Yingxiang, am really blind, and I promoted you to be my deputy general of Xuanwu Pass." Dare to commit the following offenses. I don't think you're going to die. ”

"Diao Yingxiang! Am I guilty of the following? Red Lida sneered: "Then what is the crime that you are ready to surrender?" ”

Diao Yingxiang's eyes flashed and smiled calmly: "Surrender?" If you want to add sin, why should you do it? Yang Fan. Honglida, don't forget, this is my Xuanwu Pass. If there is a seed, you will kill me. Otherwise. You don't want to take my Xuanwu Pass. ”

The applause rang out crisply. Yang Fan, who clapped his hands, raised his head and looked at Diao Yingxiang with a smile: "General Diao, he is really tough enough, and he deserves to be a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time." ”

"Humph! Yang Fan, I will ask the king for a copy of you," Diao Yingxiang said coldly with a slight frown.

Yang Fan shrugged his shoulders slightly when he heard this, pressed his hands on the table in front of him, leaned over to look at Diao Yingxiang, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sneer: "Really?" Pity. I'm afraid you won't have that chance! ”

"Red Lida, let's go down and rest! Remember. Greet Miss Diao well, but don't be lazy. After all, you want her to be your wife, don't you? Yang Fan, who straightened up as he spoke, suddenly smiled at Honglida on the side.

When Honglida heard this, her face suddenly showed surprise, and she rubbed her hands and walked towards Diao Yue'e, whose hands were tied.

Diao Yingxiang's face suddenly changed and shouted: "Yang Fan! You vile villain, something is coming at me. You hurt my daughter a little, and I Diao Yingxiang will not let you go. ”

"Hehe, my future father-in-law, don't get excited! I can't bear to hurt Yue'e, I will only hurt her well," Hong Lida, who smiled strangely, pulled Diao Yue'e outside under Diao Yingxiang's fierce gaze that wanted to breathe fire.

Seeing this, Diao Yingxiang suddenly roared: "Stop!" Yang Fan, don't force me! Otherwise, I will now order the brothers outside to do it, and we will all end up together, and there will be a companion on Huangquan Road. ”

"Heh" Yang Fan, who got up with a chuckle, waved his hand slightly to signal Honglida to stop, and then went straight to Diao Yingxiang, looking at Diao Yingxiang with a hideous face, and said a little helplessly: "What a smelly and hard stone!" Alright, Red Rida, put their father and daughter in the dungeon and keep them under strict guard! ”

Hong Lida answered, and with a smug face, he took the four black-clothed men with cold faces and escorted the Diao father and daughter away.

Yang Fan, who saw them leave, slowly walked to the side of the emaciated general who was being escorted, squinted at him and said, "You are very loyal to Diao Yingxiang!" The general loves the faithful. ”

Yang Fan waved his hand as he spoke, and the invisible energy shattered the rope on the emaciated general's body.

"What do you want?" The emaciated general gritted his teeth and looked at Yang Fan.

Ten fingers lightly grasped Yang Fan, who made a crisp sound, and said casually with a light smile: "I don't want to do anything!" I just want to sue you, if you don't want Diao Yingxiang and his daughter to have an accident, you can cooperate with me to guard Xuanwu Pass. Otherwise, when the Xuanwu Pass is breached, it will be the time when you will die together for the king. Rest assured! Even if you die in battle, you will be the hero of Xiliang at that time, and the king will give you a generous gift to your family. ”

"Good! But you have to make sure that you don't hurt the general and Miss Yue'e! The emaciated general hesitated and gritted his teeth.

The smile on Yang Fan's face became even stronger: "Of course! ”

"Now, let your people accept the reorganization, and accompany me to the gate to check it out first!" Yang Fan, who said with a light smile, waved slightly to the two cold tough men in black who were emaciated and biased, and walked out first.

What Yang Fan didn't know was that at this time, Shan Ximu and the three of them had already infiltrated the Xuanwu Pass and quietly came towards Diao's Mansion.

With the speed of the three of Shan Ximu, it didn't take long for them to enter the tense Diao Mansion.

"Sure enough, something happened!" Qin Han, who was clasping his hands, had an anxious and worried look on his face: "I don't know what happened to Yue'e and General Diao." I knew that I should have accompanied her to Xuanwu Pass. ”

Dou Yihu patted Qin Han on the shoulder and comforted: "What can you do by yourself?" Rest assured! They'll be fine for a while. Now, the most important thing is to find them first. ”

"Big brother, I think we'd better look for it separately!" Dou Yihu said and looked at Shan Ximu: "I'm with Qin Han!" ”

Shan Ximu nodded indifferently, and looked at the corridor in front of him with a slight flash: "Hmm! I'll go this way, you go the other way! Do your best to find General Diao! ”

"Don't worry! Eldest brother! Dou Yihu, who responded, left with Qin Han.

Seeing this, Shan Ximu also dodged away, and along the corridor like a gust of wind, he passed through several courtyards one after another, and stopped in a stagnant figure on an empty square in the house.

"Huh?" Yang Fan, who was about to leave Diao's Mansion accompanied by the emaciated general, looked at Shan Ximu who suddenly appeared in front of him, and couldn't help but stop with his eyes narrowed slightly, and was slightly silent before raising his eyebrows and asking, "Shan Ximu?" ”

Shan Ximu nodded noncommittally: "Yang Fan! I was really surprised that you came to Xuanwu Pass. ”

"Breaking through the Xuanwu Pass alone, you can be regarded as a master of the arts," Yang Fan, who said indifferently, his eyes flashed slightly, and then said: "By the way, since you guessed that there was an accident in the Xuanwu Pass, you are not the only one who came, right?" ”

As he spoke, Yang Fan waved slightly at the two black-clothed cold tough men who followed behind him.

The two of them, who nodded silently, hurriedly turned around and left quickly.

Shrugging his shoulders lightly, Shan Ximu, who looked indifferent, directly turned his hand and took out the long lance, and a cold aura burst out from his body like a storm, and a layer of cold ice on the long lance condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yang Fan, whose eyes were narrow, also flipped his hand and took out a bright silver spear, and the fierce energy converged on the tip of the spear like a whirlwind, causing the void to vibrate and distort slightly. (To be continued......)
