On the thousand-step stone steps of Shenyue Mountain, a disciple of the Lingquan Cave Mansion with a secret letter in his sleeve was hurrying to the inner hall of the Cave Mansion.

Soon after, the Lingquan Cave Master came to Wang Xiao, who was exercising his exercises and pranayama in a stone room with a look of joy on his face.

"A good news for the big boss, the spies sent by his subordinates have successfully discovered the location of the Xiyuan Pearl, and this treasure is in the hands of Yu Zhongrui, the owner of the Ice Phoenix Valley in Yuelu Mountain, Tanzhou."

"The big boss, my subordinates are willing to go to the Ice Phoenix Valley for you to get the Yuan Pearl!" After Yin Eclipse asked Wang Xiao for his life, he prepared to immediately gather people and set off towards Tanzhou.

"Slow!" Wang Xiao, who was closing his eyes and exercising his skills, shouted loudly to stop Yin Eclipse, and then he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the two people in the audience, "Washing the Yuan Zhu is a big matter, once you fail to win the pearl, it will make your previous achievements go to the Ice Phoenix Valley, and this seat will definitely go to the Ice Phoenix Valley in person." ”

"Okay, my subordinates will go and take care of the manpower for the big boss." After the Lingquan Cave Lord finished speaking, he prepared to gather his subordinates to follow Wang Xiao.

"Not necessarily! Yin Eclipse, you immediately pass the book to the Turbidity and the Shadow, and let them meet with this seat in Tanzhou. After leaving the stone room after the Yin Eclipse was ordered, Wang Xiao then looked at the Lingquan Cave Master who was looking puzzled at this time, "Hehe, there are many people who will definitely startle the grass and snakes, just an Ice Phoenix Valley, it is enough to have this seat and the 'Three Envoys of Wind and Thunder'." ”

(At the same time, in the city of Tanzhou)

After Chu Birou's help and a night's rest, Liu Yangyang gradually recovered a little vitality, and everyone left the inn together and went to the Sunset Bookstore.

Passing around a corner of the street, a man wearing a hooded hat and walking quickly sideways past the crowd caught Gocher's attention. Since women usually subconsciously raise their hands to protect their breasts when they walk sideways past the opposite sex, this detail is keenly noticed by Gocher. After a few seconds of preliminary scrutiny, Gorcher noticed that the man's figure seemed to sound somewhat familiar to him.

"It seems to be a zither on her back, hey, that's ......" As the breeze stirred the cloth cover around the zither, Gorcher noticed the corner of the tassel peeking out from under the cover.

"I'm sorry guys, I suddenly found out that I forgot to bring something and need to go back to the inn to get it, so let's go first." After greeting everyone without looking back, Gao quickly disappeared into the crowd of people on the street.

"I forgot to bring something, Brother Gao seems to have come to Tanzhou with us empty-handed, right? Did you forget your money bag? Tong Kun was a little confused.

Goucher cautiously followed the familiar woman to a dense wooded area on the outskirts of the city. Then, after waiting for a while, a group of mysterious people in black soft armor quickly gathered around the woods to the woman's side, and Gao Che was unable to hear their conversation due to the distance they were following.

After the group had finished talking, they scattered and lay in ambush on both sides of the road, as if waiting for some kind of prey to enter their encirclement.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves and wheels rolling from a short distance became more and more obvious, and a group of heavily armed officers and soldiers were escorting several large iron boxes to a position that was far within the eye.

When the officers and soldiers entered the encirclement, in an instant, several sharpened bamboo rows attacked the officers and soldiers from all directions, and then the masked woman led the black-clothed men who were lying in ambush around to rush up and attack the officers and soldiers who had suffered heavy casualties. Soon, the remaining officers and soldiers were all killed by the bandits after struggling to resist.

A man in black swung his knife and cut the iron lock on a box and opened it to inspect it, which was neatly stuffed with white official silver.

"Hahaha, yes, you really didn't disappoint the Lord, it's really a pity that a person like you wants to leave the Underworld!" The man in black said maliciously to the masked woman.

"Hmph, you go back to the Lord, this is the last thing I did for the Hades Sect, I hope the Lord will let our sisters leave safely as agreed." The masked woman turned her back and said in an indifferent tone.

"Hehe, tonight, the Wheel King will be waiting for you in the old place, you better go and tell him yourself." After the man in black finished speaking to the masked woman with a wicked smile, he led the other men in black to quickly leave in a carriage containing official silver.

When they were far away, the woman turned around and threw an iron dart at the place where Gocher was hiding, and the iron dart was thrust into the trunk of the tree in front of Gocher.

"Childe has been able to follow us for so long without knowing it, and it seems that he is really skilled."

"Hehe, the girl praised it falsely, didn't you still find out about it? Then I don't know if the girl is preparing to kill people now? Or do you want to go with me to the government? ”

The masked woman turned sideways and pulled out a slender iron sword and pointed it at Gao Che, who was now with an indifferent expression.

"Listen, this matter has nothing to do with you, if you still want to live, leave now!"

"Oh, what the girl said made me a little confused, and the robber of the official silver in broad daylight was not below, so what should I worry about? Miss Fangning, you said yes, right? ”

Hearing Goche's last salutation, the masked woman suddenly seemed a little speechless because of surprise. But soon, she pretended to be stupid and refused to admit that she had met with Gocher before.

"Childe's words really puzzled the slave family, but the slave family doesn't have time to chat with you here, say goodbye!"

After the masked woman finished speaking, she immediately prepared to perform light skills and leave the woods, but who knew that Gao Che quickly grabbed a tree vine and wrapped it around the woman's feet and pulled her down from the air.

"If you don't listen to the good words, then don't blame me!" The woman drew her sword and cut off the vine wrapped around her left foot, and then fought with Goche who was fighting empty-handed in the woods.

After dozens of evenly matched rounds, the two were evenly matched, while Gocher was only defensive and didn't seem to play to his full strength.

"Miss Fang Ning is really extraordinary, but it's a pity that you used your skills in the wrong place."

Seeing that the masked woman's moves were getting sharper and sharper, as if he wanted to get out of the woods as quickly as possible, he also attacked her with more agility, and finally grabbed the woman's left arm in a close-range fist stagger, and instantly restrained her.

"Damn, you let me go, what kind of hero is you when people are not prepared!" The woman was restrained and half-squatted on the ground, seemingly dissatisfied with Gao Che.

"I didn't mean to hurt the girl, but the robbery of the official bank is very important, for the safety of the girl, please also tell where the official silver is being transported at this moment, so that the girl can get out of the whole body."

"Hehe, so Childe is worried about my safety? Since Childe is so enthusiastic, the little woman has no choice but to be sorry for Childe. ”

Just as Gao Che was a little confused by what the woman had just said, he suddenly felt that he was gradually becoming weak and dizzy, and then his eyes went black and he fell unconscious to the ground.

The woman rubbed her left shoulder and slowly stood up, looked back at Gao Che who had fallen to the ground with a complicated look, and then quickly left here with light skills.

In a daze, a basin of water was suddenly poured on Gao Che's head, and when he slowly opened his eyes, he found that he was tied to a wooden frame at this time, surrounded by a group of people dressed as officials.

"Say, are you an accomplice of those who robbed the official silver? Where was the official bank brought? ”

A strong man with a leather whip yelled viciously at Gocher, whose hands and feet were tied.

Gao Che roughly looked around at the environment he was in, which looked like a prison cell, lowered his head and cried and laughed helplessly.

"In the end, it's still in the hands of a woman, I'm really...

Just as Gao Che thought about this with some bitterness, the iron door of the cell was opened, and a middle-aged man who looked a little noblely dressed walked in from outside. He looked up and down for a moment at Goche, who was already drenched, and then whispered something to the official who was holding the whip.

"What? He...... Is he in league with the third princess who defected? ”

The official seemed to have heard some terrible secret, and then he approached Gao Che with a smug expression on his face.

"Heh, I didn't expect you kid to be small, just right, with you here, don't worry that girl can't take the bait."

Gao Che lowered his head and didn't respond, but he had roughly guessed in his heart that these people wanted to use him as a hostage to lure Liu Yangyang to appear, but he was still secretly a little surprised that Liu Yangyang's identity was discovered by the people here so quickly.

"Your Royal Highness, according to what Marquis Yang said before, there is a woman beside the third princess who is also extraordinary, we have to be careful."

At this time, a person next to the middle-aged man who seemed to be his general, was also whispering to him to remind him of something. Then, the middle-aged man, who did not seem to be ordinary, looked back at Gao Che a few more times, and then slowly left the cell with a mysterious smile on his lips.

On the other hand, while Gao Che was tracking down the mysterious woman, Chu Birou and the other three also learned about the current overall situation in Tanzhou from Zhu Yifu in the Sunset Book House, and Zhu Yifu said that he learned from some of his friends in the officialdom that the current prime minister Tao Song also seemed to have doubts about the new emperor's succession, because on the day of the enthronement ceremony, the new emperor did not place the jade seal of the heirloom in the dragon head gold box as usual, but replaced it with the jade recipe worn by the previous emperor, which had puzzled many senior officials at that time.

"According to what Mr. sees, it is the safest way for Miss Liu to hand over the jade seal of the country to the prime minister?" Chu Birou asked with a little concern.

"No, according to what the mountain people have seen, Tao Song is quite deep in the city, and he is extremely good at disguising and hiding his true thoughts in front of outsiders. Until the reliability of this person has been tested, it is not advisable for us to act rashly. ”

The time was soon close to noon, and when everyone in the book room was still thinking about what to do with the jade seal of the country, the scholar pushed open the courtyard door in a panic and ran into the inner room where everyone was, and then he panted and said to everyone, "Something happened!" ”

It turned out that when the scholar went to the street to buy new pen and ink, he accidentally found a notice about Gao Che on a public wall of the official palace, which said that Gao Che had been imprisoned on suspicion of robbing the official bank, and if anyone wanted to try to save his life, let the defector go to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion alone with the jade tonight.

"Defectors? Jade? Is it referring to me and the jade seal of the country? Liu Yangyang seems to have quickly grasped the meaning of these keywords.

Chu Birou became a little startled and anxious and ran out of the bookstore quickly, Tong Kun then followed her to the public notice wall instructed by the scholar, and the content mentioned in the notices about Gao Che was indeed exactly what the scholar said.

"This ...... What did the senior brother and his accomplices rob the official silver, how could this be possible! Tong Kun was also a little angry after reading the notice.

Back in the bookstore, after listening to Tong Kun's narration, Liu Yangyang wanted to take the jade seal to the meeting without thinking, but was fiercely stopped by Tong Kun, after all, this would obviously be a trap to invite you into the urn, and Liu Yangyang was very likely to be more than lucky.

"It seems that in order to rescue your friends, I have to let the third princess run this trip tonight." Zhu Yifu said in a light tone after packing up the pen and ink that the scholar bought.

At this time, just as Tong Kun eagerly turned around and wanted to argue with Zhu Yifu, he suddenly found that Zhu Yifu's meaningful eyes were not focused on Liu Yangyang's body at the moment, but on ......
