The secret of Empty Mist Peak was basically already in the hands of Zheng Lin and Qin Ruoyun, but they didn't know much about their specific plans and when they would start acting. And this matter is related to national affairs, if Yang Guozhong, Gao Lishi and Dongying people cooperate and try to occupy the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it will not only be their affairs of the rivers and lakes, but the affairs of the entire people of the Tang Dynasty, and at that time, the people will face a cruel war again.

"Master, what should we do? Do you kill them or go back and tell the boss? ”

Qin Ruoyun looked in the direction where the ghost shadow Kojiro left, made a "shhh" gesture to Zheng Lin, and said softly.

"Don't worry, we can't startle the snake, according to their plan, the first step will be to attack the major sects first, and just now the ghost shadow Kojiro said that they caught a traitor, I think that person must know some of their secrets, as long as we find a way to rescue that person, we can naturally learn more information."

Nodding, the two quietly followed the ghost shadow Kojiro, and after about half an hour, they came to the inner valley stargazing cliff, where the mountain peaks were steep and the abyss was ten thousand feet below, and standing here, looking at the stars and the moon overhead, as if they could touch them with their hands. However, they are not here to admire the moon and see the stars, on the north side of the stargazing cliff, there are dozens of dark ronins, and on a tree next to a fire, there is a girl tied. Wearing a purple dress, her face looked a little pale in the moonlight, which should be the reason why she hadn't eaten for a long time, her long hair covered half of her face, and at this time, she looked blind, obviously suffering a lot, and the flute and brush around her waist made the two of them recognize her identity.

"This girl should be the person Ghost Shadow Kojiro said, there are a total of sixteen shadow ronins around, plus Ghost Shadow Kojiro, if we force a raid, in case it is discovered by the people in the wind attack camp, it will be more than worth the loss, find a way to rescue her while those Toei samurai are resting."

After Qin Ruoyun arranged some more details for Zheng Lin, the two quietly hid behind the boulder, waiting for the passage of time. Qin Ruoyun observed the moon above his head, and while calculating the time, he also had to look at the state of those dark ronins from time to time. When she found that those people were starting to doze off, she pushed Zheng Lin next to her.

"Apprentice, you light a stick of incense at the upwind and wait until they all pass out before proceeding according to the plan."

Zheng Lin nodded, the incense was prepared before they entered the secret realm, and Zheng Lin originally put it in the Dao Ring in case of emergency, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly. After lighting the incense, they continued to hide, and after a while, after making sure that the ronins were stunned, they quietly touched it, and the girl was naturally in a comatose state at this time. Zheng Lin quietly separated the rope that bound her, then threw the dagger next to the tree, then took off one of the girl's shoes and put it on the edge of the cliff, and at the same time took the remaining incense away, just like that, after everything was done, the two of them quietly slipped out with the girl.

Early the next morning, the ghost Kojiro woke up from the tent in a daze, and suddenly found that the girl tied to the tree was missing, and hurriedly woke up the guards, who naturally also found the small dagger left by Zheng Lin and the shoes on the edge of the cliff. Ghost Kojiro looked at the ronin guarding and slapped one of them in the face, and said angrily.

"A bunch of rice buckets! I know that eating and sleeping, let such an important person escape, do you understand, dying in the secret realm will not be a real death. Anyway, you all go down to find me now, I want to see people in life, I want to see corpses in death, and if she is still alive, we have a chance to get her back. ”

And he himself must also inform Wang Yanzhi of this news and comprehensively search for the traces of that girl. But they couldn't have imagined that the girl had been rescued by Zheng Lin and Qin Ruoyun back to Chunyang Palace, and found a doctor to show her the injuries, fortunately, they were only skin injuries, and the doctor gave some ointment, as long as the medicine was applied on time for a few days, it could be cured. Then Qin Ruoyun boiled some porridge for her, she shouldn't have eaten for a long time, so she drank five bowls of porridge when she woke up.

"Girl, look at your outfit should be a disciple of Wanhua Valley in Shuzhong, how could you be caught by the Dongying people?"

The girl wiped her mouth and smiled wryly.

"I am a disciple of Wanhua Valley, and after leaving the sect, I planned to go out to practice, but when I was riding on the sea, I encountered a strong wind, and the boat was blown over, and I also drifted to a small island with a plank. But there were many strange people on that island, and I later learned that they were all from Dongying, and I accidentally heard their secrets and found a boat to escape from that island, but I was targeted by the people who came to chase me, ahem! ”

Qing Jue suddenly coughed twice, took a sip of the tea next to him, and continued.

"I don't know how long I escaped, and then I escaped to the Empty Mist Peak of the Pure Yang Palace, but after I escaped into the secret realm, I still couldn't escape their pursuit, I thought that if they caught me, I would take me out of the secret realm and kill me, but they didn't, but tied me up in the secret realm, I want to know how many secrets I know, so after a few days, you rescued me."

Qin Ruoyun nodded, poured her another bowl of water, and said.

"We also know a little, it should be that the Dongying people cooperate with Gao Lishi and Yang Guozhong, and want to get rid of the major factions on the rivers and lakes first, and then rebel again, the Dongying people will help them take Yangzhou City, right?"

"That's right, but the ambitions of the Dongying people are not only these, while they are seeking cooperation, they also want to obtain the martial arts and divine weapons of the various sects in the Central Plains. At the same time, after getting the world, they set their sights on the tomb of the First Emperor, and they believed that the First Emperor had obtained the elixir of life thousands of years ago. And they want to get the secret of immortality, in order to pass on their culture, in order to make their ruling emperor immortal, so as to occupy our territory of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Zheng Lin frowned on the side, the current Dongying had indeed waged an aggressive war against this land thousands of years later, but they had failed. Zheng Lin remembered what he knew and said resentfully.

"The people of Dongying are cruel and unreasonable, and the little barbarian people also want to try to occupy my Tang territory? The so-called immortality is just to deceive children, they are really pitiful, they all believe it, but no matter what, their ambitions are obvious, we can't just look at it, Master, usually the head of the sect teaches us to seek truth and cultivate the Tao, but now that others are knocking on the door, if we don't even dare to fight back, how can we be worthy of being the children of the Tang Dynasty? ”

Qin Ruoyun nodded.

"I will go and discuss with the head and elders, we must pay attention to the matter of Dongying people, don't talk about it now, the matter of Kongwu Peak will be decided after we discuss it, he wants to deal with our Pure Yang Palace, deal with our entire rivers and lakes, and see if he has such a big appetite." No matter what the result is, the gang of Kongwu Peak is here, so don't think about going back! ”
