Chapter Ninety-Four: Desperate Rescue (Entry)
After Ouyang He fell into the hands of Lieyangmen, within a few days, Lieyangmen began to send out heroes to invite all martial arts factions to attend the Lieyangmen headquarters in Hangzhou. According to the content written in the hero post, the execution of the "demon girl" Ouyang He has become the biggest gimmick of this martial arts conference.
Despite the urgency of the situation, in order to keep a low profile as much as possible and not be detected by the ears and eyes of the Lieyang Gate, dozens of disciples of the Tianji Gate were temporarily left on standby in a secret location on the outskirts of Hangzhou, and Xing Mingming and Lu Lingxuan, who had not fully recovered their health, were also left behind to temporarily recuperate.
"Miss Chu, aren't you with us?" After sneaking into Hangzhou in disguise, Chu Birou suddenly said goodbye to Liu Tianxue and Xiao Yao.
"Yes, the juniors and other things have to be dealt with first." Chu Birou didn't say much, and then she left quickly with a thoughtful expression.
Not long after, Chu Birou ambushed behind a grocery store and captured a strange person who had been secretly following her for a long time.
"Hmph, you Shui Tiange evil seed, you don't have much time to live. Lord Zhou has already hired a killer from the Hades Sect, and you are about to have no way to escape, hahaha! The stalker, who claimed to be Zhou Xuan's confidant, said with a wicked smile.
"Let's go, go back and tell Zhou Xuan that he will have to pay back the blood debt of Shui Tiange sooner or later!" After Chu Birou said categorically to this person, she let him go.
"I can't imagine that to this day, I can still hear the name "Hades Sect" from other people's mouths, will I stay here, will it bring an additional threat to Xiaohe? Chu Birou suddenly felt a little dazed, she didn't want to believe that the Jianghu Cult that had been exterminated by the martial arts sect had resurrected, and she had been bribed by Zhou Xuan to deal with herself.
Thinking of this, Chu Birou planned to go to the Lieyang Gate alone to find out, if she found Ouyang He's figure, she wanted to try to rescue him as quickly as possible.
However, Chu Birou, who was in Hangzhou City, did not expect that Ouyang He was not in Hangzhou at this time, but was imprisoned by Huang Hua in a deserted Buddhist temple in Tianmu Mountain on the outskirts of Hangzhou.
"Miss Ouyang, I've really wronged you a little in the past few days, and as soon as the heads of the martial arts sects arrive, you can be relieved, hehe!" In the basement of the Buddhist temple, Huang Hua said to Ouyang He, whose hands and feet were tightly tied, with a sinister expression.
"In the past, I may have felt guilty for not being able to save the Lord of the Sun Gate in the ghost castle. But now, I don't feel guilty anymore, and you don't want to get any answers from me that you want to hear! Ouyang He glared angrily at Huang Hua, his long loose hair hanging down unkemptly on the sides of her cheeks.
Huang Hua sneered with a slightly twitching face, and then he tried to reach out to touch Ouyang He's cheek, but he hurriedly dodged it.
Huang Hua seemed to be suddenly enraged by Ouyang He's dodging action, and he immediately grabbed Ouyang He's hair vigorously and forcibly pulled her face in front of his eyes.
"You...... What are you doing? As Huang Hua began to reach out and touch her face lightly, the tendons in Ouyang He's whole body instantly became tense.
"Ouyang He, the master of this sect is also a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and it is a pity to kill you like this. It's better for me to find a ghost to die for you, and you will stay incognito and serve the master of this door, so that you can at least save your life! Huang Hua suggested to Ouyang He with bad intentions. Of course, such a dirty proposal was unsurprisingly firmly rejected by Ouyang He.
At this moment, Bai Lichen, who came to Hangzhou with Huang Hua, suddenly opened the door and entered, and Huang Hua had to temporarily restrain his movements.
"That shipment arrived on time, right?" Bai Lichen asked Huang Hua with suspicion.
"Don't worry, the latest news says that General Xu personally went to Broken Blade Island, and the part of the goods we asked him to deliver must be fine." Huang Hua replied to Bai Lichen with some impatience, and casually pulled out the Dragon Soul Sword on the table to watch.
Seeing Huang Hua's arrogance, Bai Lichen didn't say anything more, but leaned forward to look at Ouyang He, and tried to say a few words to him.
However, seeing that Ouyang He rolled his eyes at him and ignored him, Bai Lichen also smiled self-deprecatingly and got up to leave.
"After the hero post is sent, we have no way out, Huang Zhangmen must be mentally prepared!" Bai Lichen told Huang Hua again before leaving, but Huang Hua seemed to be immersed in the state of watching the Dragon Soul Sword and did not take Bai Lichen's advice to heart.
After Bai Lichen left the abandoned temple, he quickly returned to the place agreed in advance with Han Yi and other Fenglei Hall subordinates.
"Huang Hua is embarrassed to be of great use, if we want to succeed, we have to rely on ourselves." After Bai Lichen remembered Fang Cai Huang Hua's attitude, he suddenly became angry.
"Second master, our people are entering Hangzhou City in batches in recent days, and it will take about two days to put it in place." Han Yi confidently reported to Bai Lichen.
"Okay, as soon as the goods arrive in a few days, the whole river and lake will be in my hands! We will no longer be subservient to the king! Bai Lichen looked in the direction of Hangzhou City, and it seemed that he could already look forward to the appearance of the Wind and Thunder Hall that he would be in charge of in the future.
Soon after, one of his subordinates reported to Bai Lichen that there were people outside the city who were suspected to be Tianjimen, and some people suspected to be members of the Underworld Sect had appeared.
"Hehe, Ouyang He's name is really loud now, it seems that this huge Hangzhou city will soon be lively." After Bai Lichen sneered thoughtfully, he led his men to leave Tianmu Mountain.
On the other hand, Liu Tianxue and Xiao Yao, like Chu Birou, were walking straight in the direction of the Lieyangmen headquarters.
"I can't imagine that the "Eight Guests of the Heavenly Machine" who worshiped in blood back then, now only you and I are still guarding the foundation of the Heavenly Machine Gate for the master. Xiao Yao said to Liu Tianxue a little helplessly as he walked.
"Hehe, as long as you and I still have this priceless affection, no one can bully us at will." With a fearless will, Liu Tianxue gradually quickened her pace.
It's just that Huang Hua had already bought off the Hangzhou prefect in advance and asked him to assist him in guarding the Lieyangmen headquarters. After Liu Tianxue and Xiao Yao sneaked into the courtyard and were discovered, the officers and soldiers of the brigade who had already been ambushed immediately rushed up and separated and surrounded the two with great skill.
Although the two of them had strong martial arts, in the face of the soldiers of the Hangzhou garrison battalion, who had an absolute advantage in numbers, it was really difficult for the two to get out after exerting their full strength in a fierce battle.
Seeing that the two who were physically exhausted were about to be captured, Chu Birou arrived in time, and after throwing a large amount of hallucinogenic powder at the soldiers, she took the opportunity to help the two quickly escape from the encirclement of the sergeants.
"It seems that the other party has been prepared, and we can't break in." Chu Birou noticed that these ambushed sergeants were all well-trained, strong, and the weapons used were all of the highest quality, so she deduced that Huang Hua had already expected that there would be people with strong martial arts to knock on the door, so this place had been arranged as a rock-solid fortress in advance, and it was definitely not something that three or two people could forcibly take down.
Since it was difficult for them to penetrate with just a few of them, and it was not appropriate to lead a large number of Tianji Sect disciples into the city to storm it, the three of them immediately decided to think about it in the long term after a short discussion.
However, as time passed, whenever Chu Birou calmly walked on the bustling streets, she became more and more aware that not far behind her, there always seemed to be several pairs of eyes staring at her.
The facts quickly confirmed her suspicions, and since she discovered that the killer of the Underworld Sect had lurked around her, she had been assassinated several times with hidden weapons. Although she was not injured as a result, in order to avoid causing harm to the people around her, the increasingly urgent situation prompted her to decide to leave Hangzhou for a while.
But who knows, at the moment when she made up her mind to walk out of Hangzhou City, she was surrounded by more than a dozen killers in the bamboo forest near Leifeng Tower.
"I didn't expect that the descendants of Chu Daxia, who was on the side of the powerful earthquake back then, were just a little girl, it seems that Shui Tiange is really exhausted." The leading killer provoked Chu Birou with a disdainful tone.
"Heh, do you want to try it? This so-called "little girl" is getting into some trouble! Chu Birou replied with a confident smile, and at the same time slowly took out the phoenix bow in her hand.
However, to Chu Birou's surprise, this group of killers all had superb martial arts, and even if she had the Phoenix Yin Bow in her hand, she could only barely compete with them.
After a period of entanglement, Chu Birou gradually fell behind in this wheel war.
At the critical moment, a familiar figure fell from the sky through the swaying bamboo shadow, wielding the equally familiar silver-veined spear, blocking an iron sword that stabbed straight at her for Chu Birou.
"Gaucher, why are you here?" Chu Birou was surprised and delighted by Gao Che's sudden appearance.
"Because there's a little kitten here who is lost, and if I don't come, won't she die in the wolf's mouth?" With a doting tone, Gao Che asked Chu Birou as if jokingly.
Chu Birou pretended to be angry and "snorted", and at the same time, a slight flush gradually appeared on her cheeks.
So, with Gao Che fighting side by side, the two broke through the encirclement of the killers in one fell swoop, and temporarily evaded their encirclement after hiding.
"It seems that this trip to Hangzhou is full of dangers, Xiao Rou'er had better stay too far away from my son!" After seeing the killer walking away, Gao Che said softly to Chu Birou with a sunny smile.
"Heh, I'm not a woman who needs someone to protect me, you better take care of yourself." Chu Birou got up and left with disdain, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised later, revealing a shy and shy smile.
As the time for the martial arts conference is getting closer and closer, the representatives of the well-known martial arts sects in the Central Plains of the Later Tang Dynasty and the surrounding countries have successively entered Hangzhou, the capital of Wu Yueguo, to prepare for the meeting. In order to prevent these suddenly gathered martial arts people from making trouble in the city, the Hangzhou government temporarily hired a group of non-regular "grassroots" sergeants to support the emergency situation that might arise during the conference.
"Miss Ouyang, please, don't let these distinguished guests wait." After Huang Hua gave the order, a group of Lieyang Sect disciples escorted Ouyang He, who was pale due to extreme weakness, and began to embark on the road down Tianmu Mountain.
"He'er, hold on, you must not be fine, even if you fight for my life, I will definitely save you!"
"Whoever dares to hurt a single hair of He'er, I swear, I will definitely make him pay a thousand times the price for this!"
When night fell, Ling Rui and Meng Yan, who had already mixed into the city in disguise earlier, were drinking with each other at this time, and they all secretly expressed their determination to fight to the death for Ouyang He.
