Chapter 147: In the Woods in the Dead of Night

Lin Qiantan originally made an appointment with Wei Jiayin and went down the mountain to the capital together. As a result, something went wrong.

The Wei family sent servants up the mountain to tell Wei Jiayin that her father had suddenly fainted at home, and Wei Jiayin was so anxious that he didn't care about any other travelers.

Wei Jiayin hurriedly packed his clothes and bags, lay down early, and got up early the next day.

It was still dark, and the street lights were still on.

Of course, Lin Qiantan had to get up and send her off. She didn't actually sleep much last night, but she just closed her eyes to recuperate.

Wei Jiayin was full of apologies: "My father has always been healthy, but this time he suddenly fainted." I'll go back first, you can't be angry. "In fact, the reason is that Wei Jiayin is not easy to export. However, because her father raised the outer room behind her mother's back, her mother was angry and pushed her hand, causing her father to slam against the wall......

Wei Jiayin said it in a general way, but Lin Qiantan could see that there should be other hidden secrets in this. She remembered that Wei Jiayin's father did have some physical problems.

Wei Jiayin finished speaking, holding Lin Qiantan's hand and saying goodbye again and again. The servants from the Wei family over there urged her again and again, and Lin Qiantan had no choice but to follow her to the mountain gate, and then turned back.

As soon as Wei Jiayin got into the car, she lost her smiling face in front of Lin Qiantan, and asked the people around her with a cold face: "What's going on?"

A steward in a green cotton jacket over there, tired from running around, raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and said, "I heard that the slut's surname is Xia ......" This is all he knows.

Wei Jiayin's mother has always boasted that she can tie her husband's heart, and when Zhang Yingru begged her for her daughter's family affairs, she used this to ridicule Zhang Yingru, but the slap in the face came too quickly.

The steward only knew that the woman surnamed Xia had already given birth to a son for his master.

*

As soon as Wei Jiayin leaves, Lin Qiantan will also not stay in the White Horse Temple for long.

But I had to stay.

After a night, there was no movement in Jiyue and the scenery, and Lin Qiantan was naturally worried. She hadn't slept all night, her spirit was a little bad, and the emptiness in her stomach made her even more anxious.

Lin Qiantan watched Wei Jiayin's carriage drive farther and farther away, until it was so far away that only a small black shadow remained. She turned to go inside, while telling Ping Lang to go out and have a look, and left the screen by her side to protect herself.

Ping Lang agreed and went immediately.

As soon as Wei Jiayin left, Wang Yuanzhao came over openly. There was just a glimmer of light in the sky, and the morning class of the White Horse Temple had just begun, Wang Yuanzhao didn't ask Lin Qiantan if he agreed, and while those who followed Lin Qiantan up the mountain didn't see him, he dodged and jumped into the house.

Lin Qiantan saw that he was smiling improperly, and was about to expel his voice coldly, but who knew that the words that popped out of his mouth the next moment were the most serious.

Wang Yuanzhao said that he felt a murderous aura.

Lin Qiantan was also stunned.

Lin Qiantan has always heard that there are indeed some people in this world who have sharp intuition and can have a sensitive perception of danger. Or some people are trained to be able to perceive the malice and even murderous intent of the people around them.

Lin Qiantan herself belongs to the latter.

So I invited him to sit down in the house and poured him the ginger tea he had just brewed. He didn't take the tea, but as if unintentionally, he glanced outside, frowned, and let go.

Said something again.

Lin Qiantan heard Ji Yue say that Wang Yuanzhao once found some sneaky people outside the courtyard two days ago. At this time, Lin Qiantan took them out and said, "...... Isn't it them? ”

Wang Yuanzhao shook his head with certainty and said, "It shouldn't be, if it is, there is no reason not only to enter the door, but also to leave this for me."

As he spoke, Wang Yuanzhao took out something like a small cloth bag from his coat pocket. Inside the cloth bag is also a jade pendant that Wang Yuanzhao can't say.

Lin Qiantan took the jade pendant, put it in his hand, and weighed it carefully. She herself is engaged in these businesses, and after just a few glances, she understands that the technique of this jade pendant should be used in the court of the previous dynasty.

"It's the Xia Dynasty again." Lin Qiantan said, the jade pendant was stuffed back by her and put it in Wang Yuanzhao's hand. The skin of the two touched each other, and the thick callus on Wang Yuanzhao's palm rubbed against her, and she was excited and took her hand back.

Xia Chao looked like it was gone, but it was like a ghost, everywhere. The foundation of Dashang is too shallow to shake it, but it can't help but do something like a mayfly shaking a tree. Emperor Tianlong was in a hurry again, and his steps were too big......

Wang Yuanzhao told her that this jade pendant always had a purpose, and she said, "What do you mean?!"

Wang Yuanzhao didn't talk nonsense, and said, "You, leave tonight."

In his opinion, if someone wanted to do something to them, it would probably pick a time at night when they were unprepared.

Or, on this day, they went down the mountain road openly and in an ambush.

In the same way, the other party will also feel that no one will risk walking on a mountain road despite the darkness at night.

Lin Qiantan did not ignore the word "you" in Wang Yuanzhao's words.

"You're not leaving?" Lin Qiantan asked rhetorically.

Wang Yuanzhao smiled: "Naturally, I will go, but I will not go with you." He had already been assassinated dozens of times in the army, and it was hard for him not to suspect that most of these people were following him. Of course, he couldn't go the same way as Lin Qiantan, but he didn't worry about asking Lin Qiantan to stay in the temple.

It was he who brought the danger, and naturally he took people away.

Lin Qiantan listened, as if sarcastic, and deliberately asked: "Do you still want to say that the little brothers who followed you also stayed to protect me?"

Wang Yuanzhao was choked by Lin Qiantan.

That's exactly what he intended.

Since Lin Qiantan knew his thoughts, he didn't need to bother to say a few more words.

Lin Qiantan had no reason to ask him to take this risk.

The more Wang Yuanzhao wanted to protect her safety, she didn't want to do what Wang Yuanzhao wanted.

Moreover, if it is really like what Wang Yuanzhao said, there is really such a murderous aura, she is even more worried about Jiyue and scenery, who did not come back overnight, whether she has encountered any trouble.

Only then did Wang Yuanzhao know that Ji Yue and the scenery were gone.

"If you want to kill someone, why don't you look for me? Those two girls, start your hands, where is my use. ”

Lin Qiantan didn't say anything. Wang Yuanzhao has always responded to her needs.

Wang Yuanzhao was bored with himself, so he simply stopped talking.

After about an hour, Ping Lang came back from outside.

Ping Lang found nothing on this trip, and he didn't see any other movement on the mountain road: "I have already walked up and down this White Horse Temple." The implication is that no one is seen in life, and no corpse is seen in death.

No news, it can be the best news or the worst news.

Lin Qiantan frowned again with worry, and Wang Yuanzhao was even more familiar with the temperament of the two girls, and he also showed a sad look on his face.

But when marching to war, the most taboo is hesitation.

Wang Yuanzhao said: "It's not good to say whether there are people from the Yin family outside here at the moment." However, in case something happens to the scenery of Jiyue, you can't stay here. In this way, Wang Yuanzhao said again.

Lin Qiantan glanced back at Wang Yuanzhao, and for a while, she acquiesced to Wang Yuanzhao's proposal.

She didn't know how this man persuaded her, told her to just listen to her, and subconsciously did what he said.

Yes, I don't know what the situation is, if she stays where she is, it will be catching turtles in the urn. Even if he is not the target, I am afraid that he will become a burden to Wang Yuanzhao......

Wang Yuanzhao said that he finally asked Lin Qiantan to agree to separate from him. Wang Yuanzhao also took a step back and promised to take the two of them and walk the avenue.

Lin Qiantan walked the trail.

Wang Yuanzhao spent lunch and dinner at Lin Qiantan's place, and it was soon nightfall. Lin Qiantan said as promised, and was protected by a group of ** sons and a screen and a screen, just waiting for the darkest sky to go to the path. As for the others she brought, it was really inconvenient to bring them.

But this huge White Horse Temple will not even be able to keep a few girls and mothers-in-law.

As if to ease the atmosphere, Wang Yuanzhao specially talked to Lin Qiantan to attract her attention. After he finished talking about business, he grinned and didn't take it seriously: "Didn't you say that I am a character who can lead a large army to the foot of the capital, how can this little bump stop me at the moment."

Lin Qiantan smiled bitterly, yes, you took the soldiers and horses to the gate of the capital, but for the sake of a woman who couldn't be saved, you gave up the excellent opportunity to attack the city. If this woman who can't be saved starts again, maybe it will change your fate, and I can't say for sure.

Lin Qiantan has never said these words to Wang Yuanzhao.

The two stood in the room, only the oil lamp on the table crackled from time to time. Wang Yuanzhao was saying, Lin Qiantan was listening, and sometimes, Lin Qiantan would answer a sentence or two.

Until, as Wang Yuanzhao spoke, he looked up at the sky outside. The clouds were thick, the moon was almost hidden, and it was a good time to kill people and set fires.

The little man with a youthful face said cynical words in his characteristic mellow voice: "It's time for you to go."

Lin Qiantan felt as if something was choked in her throat at this moment, so that she couldn't say anything.

The dishes on the table had not been put away, it was the meal they had eaten together.

Lin Qiantan didn't like to hesitate, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, Wang Yuanzhao said, and she stood up with the burden she had already put away. One more glance at a living creature they had brought to the house, and barely looked back.

Wang Yuanzhao didn't send it, as soon as Lin Qiantan left, he accepted his evil smile and smiling face, put down Erlang's leg resting on the table, spit out the small stalk in his mouth, and sat up straight, with a serious expression.

The two men who were kept by him and said that they were protecting him knew that this was a demeanor that only the people in front of him would have when they were doing business. This young man, relying on these on the battlefield, quickly subdued these old fritters.

The two looked at each other, and also at the living creature that was being locked in the cage, and smiled at each other, it was a shame that the boss could think of such a child-like trick to deceive people.

Cats are just things that every household has seen, and now they are used to save lives. I saw that the props that I would use later were being put on the wall on the side, just waiting for them to set off, and they were left here to create a way to delay time.

Wang Yuanzhao still had the mind to stretch out his finger from time to time to tease the silent cat who was being locked in the cage.

This cat likes to be quiet, and he has been picking for a long time. In vain, he specially made a special lantern to help him get out of the shell of the golden cicada.

It's actually very simple, but this bamboo lantern is put on the cat's head, and when he leaves, he will let the cat out of the cage to attract attention from outside the house. As soon as the cat moved, the cage that could not be freed from the top of its head also moved, and then hit the paper window, as if someone was walking around the house.

The two men who were not hungry after eating the whole family by one retracted their gaze, and when they were about to tease and ridicule the cat with Wang Yuanzhao, Wang Yuanzhao said: "Brother Zhang, Brother Li, you two should go too."

The men called "Brother Zhang" and "Brother Li" were stunned when they heard this, and some didn't react.

"People are coming for me, and it's too dangerous for you to follow me." Along the way, he was willing to cheekily ask a group of brothers to suffer.

But this time it was different, the uneasy premonition in his chest was too strong, and he always felt that this time there was big trouble.

If he has any regrets, it is that he regrets that he should not be careless about the enemy, thinking that the one sitting in the capital has been concealed by his own Li Daitao's strategy, so that when he saw a carriage tied to a tree, he hurriedly walked up the mountain, thus leading the danger up.

Two voices rang out in unison, needless to say, they rejected him. The man was reluctant to leave, and kept saying things like "Anyway, they are originally a naked person, and they are afraid of death".

Wang Yuanzhao knew that it was not so easy to make them greedy for life and afraid of death without paying attention to righteousness, so he persuaded a few words, but when he saw that the soft one didn't work, he simply came to the hard one......

*

At the same time, Lin Qiantan was already under the protection of many people, taking advantage of the darkness, bypassing the hidden paths in the temple and finding the dog cave that Wang Yuanzhao said.

The person who was brought by Wang Yuanzhao to escort Lin Qiantan out was originally afraid that Lin Qiantan, a young lady, would not do something like drilling a dog hole without gold under her knees.

Who knew that Lin Qiantan did not hesitate to pull up her skirt without being informed in advance, like a dog, and crawled neatly into the hole that just barely accommodated one person, and a group of men looked at a big girl with strange expressions pouting her ass in a somewhat ugly posture and getting out.

Lin Qiantan didn't need to look at it to know what she was thinking. But things like drilling dog holes, she had done a lot in her previous life, so how could she care.

When all the people climbed out, Lin Qiantan followed the route planned by Wang Yuanzhao in advance, and walked towards the dark path, the mountain road is difficult, and it is a sheep intestine path, stacked up and down steeply, not to mention the ambush, even ordinary living creatures in the mountains, and they don't want to inhabit there.

Lin Qiantan was anxious at this time.

On the one hand, I have to worry about Jiyue and the scenery, and on the other hand, I have to worry about Wang Yuanzhao's side. Although Wang Yuanzhao said that with his martial arts skills, coupled with the big brother with the best martial arts among a group of brothers, it is definitely not a problem to deal with a few thieves.

Lin Qiantan also saw with her own eyes how he dealt with the imperial guards, and became the only one who escaped among all the people who assassinated the emperor.

But in her heart, no matter what, she can't calm down.

Even though they have gone far away, they still want to turn back......

As if she was conscious of the fingers on her hand, the ghost reached into her sleeve, and actually took out the peace charm she asked for Chu Jiang and put it in her hand to pray.

A young man beside her, who was in charge of pathfinding, just turned around and said something to her when she took out the peace charm, she was absent-minded, and almost stepped on the air with one foot, and at that moment, in the silent night forest, it was very obvious.

Fortunately, there was no one around.

It took nearly an hour, and Lin Qiantan finally followed a group of men to a slightly bright ramp. At the edge of the ramp, there is a stream, which seems to be flowing down from a little above.

"Rest down, sister-in-law." The man at the head said so and so.

Walking in the mountains and forests at night is a hundred times more difficult. These men don't care about themselves, but I'm afraid that Lin Qiantan, a "delicate" daughter, will not be able to endure hardship.

Lin Qiantan looked at a few men, and also thought that they might be tired, so she nodded and agreed.

Along the way, these men all called her sister-in-law.

At the beginning, Lin Qiantan didn't have the heart to correct them, but now, there was some work, and she didn't know where to start.

After all, it's still quite troublesome to say this.

She looked up at the hill and could faintly see some of the light of the night lights of the White Horse Temple above from where she was. I don't know, how is Wang Yuanzhao now......

*

Wang Yuanzhao had already made a prior arrangement, and Ming Huanghuang walked down the hill from a slope near the avenue on the other side, and he was alone in the darkness.

Although Brother Zhang and Brother Li are single and have no worries, Wang Yuanzhao knows that they both have women they like.

Just like him, the girls he liked looked down on them when they were young, and when they got older, they didn't give up.

Wang Yuanzhao expected that they would not be obedient, so he used a hand knife to knock them out one by one, and with some effort, he carefully placed the people in the safe place in the White Horse Temple that he had explored in the past few days.

Himself, on the other hand, is ......

Thinking back to the fact that he had just come out, he was able to pick up a Lin Qiantan earring on the threshold, and he smirked silently. immediately seemed to react again, secretly scolding himself for thinking something, at this time, he was not serious......

He also glanced in the direction of the White Horse Temple.

At this time, I don't know if someone broke into the room where he and Lin Qiantan stayed together for an afternoon.

He pricked up his ears and looked back, his earlobes moving at any time, as if he was recognizing movement behind him......

The path he took close to the main road should still be able to attract the killer's firepower. Lin Qiantan's side, it was a treacherous path. But the dangers on the road are much safer at this time than the dangers caused by man.

Besides, with that group of people to protect you, it shouldn't be fine.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound behind him that ordinary people couldn't hear at all. Wang Yuanzhao stopped and listened carefully, and said in his heart: It's really here.

*

Yin tenacity to do things, always seeking a perfect one. He had long studied how all the feasible passages up and down the White Horse Temple could be connected, and naturally it was also the one that Lin Qiantan walked.

However, Yin Huai is not such a perfectionist.

Yin tenacity is indeed arranged, but when Yin Huai came to see the so-called path, he couldn't walk at all, so no one was left to stare at all.

Here Yin Huai is staring at the side of a large road, watching with his own eyes. I was a little impatient in my heart, thinking about the few subordinates who went up the mountain to lure the snake out of the hole, why didn't they force people down for a long time......

Just as he couldn't help but doze off, as if there was some movement in front of him, he perked up and made a gesture. In the darkness, a group of people who had adapted to the light also suppressed their breathing and prepared to go.

Yin Huai knew that Wang Yuanzhao was good at martial arts, and the ones he sent to the army before could be regarded as a test to find out.

No, the people he picked out this time are definitely one in a million masters. Speaking of kung fu, no matter how powerful Wang Yuanzhao is, he is also invincible with two fists and four hands!

Not to mention, he is still a master of using poison!

Wang Yuanzhao slashed another living person in front of him, seeing that he seemed to be stepping on the encirclement, he did not hesitate to run quickly to the other end, and the Yin Huai over there had already seen his figure, and in an instant, the killers lined up in a line all jumped out and rushed up.

Wang Yuanzhao secretly said in his heart, fortunately, he asked Lin Qiantan for some almighty detoxification pills to take in advance. This prime minister really paid for his life.

After strenuous exercise, he has seen blood one after another, and after all, there are many enemies and I am outnumbered, and it is inevitable that someone here and there will be a little bruise. The knife is poisonous, but the antidote pill is a good thing given by Concubine Xiao in the palace.

Wang Yuanzhao thought, looking at the number of people in front of him, his trip was really unlucky, but fortunately, Brother Zhang and Brother Li were not with him.

While thinking about it, there were still seventy or eighty assassins in front of him, who were still very close to him. He quickly pulled a bulging ball from his pocket, glanced at it, and then threw it the ground......

Lin Qiantan said that this is called a "smoke bomb".

*

After all, time was in a hurry, and Lin Qiantan only regretted that she didn't make a few more convenient props for Wang Yuanzhao's emergency use.

I was afraid that Wang Yuanzhao would take the wrong guy and use the thunderbolt bomb as a smoke bomb, which would blow him up to pieces.

The man on their side, who had been resting here for a while, was about to get up and continue climbing, when a voice came from a voice telling everyone to stop, as if he heard something coming from the haystack overhead......

Suddenly, the entire team also became nervous, and Lin Qiantan heard a few sounds of knives coming out of the sheath, and then they rang softly.
