Jin Jiyu led everyone straight to Room 18. It turned out that the secret passage was in the room where Qin Zhiyong lived.

Diao Buyu, the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper, everyone carried dry food and water, and in order to escape, they made all preparations. Only Qin Zhiyong wondered in his heart, why did the proprietress arrange a plan to escape without informing herself?

Qin Zhiyong secretly said in his heart: "It can't be that the boss lady doesn't treat me as her own, right?" There's something to hide from me. ”

Diao Buyu and the shopkeeper have already gone down the secret passage.

Seeing that Qin Zhiyong was still distracted, Jin Jiyu said dissatisfiedly: "Qin Zhiyong, what's wrong with you today?" Always distracted. You're so damn bad. Get down the secret passage. ”

Shout.

An arrow flew into the room and landed on the table. The arrow was holding an oilcloth and burning non-stop.

The living room was already full of arrows.

The people of Dongchang wanted to burn down the inn. As for the people in the inn, Cao Shaoqin had already decided that they were all dead.

Qin Zhiyong glanced at the Four Books and Five Classics on the table and the recorded martial arts experience, and immediately took it with him and went down the secret passage. Zhou Huai'an and Jin Jianyu were a little surprised, at the moment of crisis, Qin Zhiyong didn't forget to bring books. He really deserves to be a real reader.

Zhou Huai'an said to Qiu Moyan: "Mo Yan, let's go too." ”

The last secret passage with gold and jade.

………………

Outside the Dragon Gate Inn.

Cao Shaoqin sat in a luxurious sedan chair with a confident smile on his face.

Zhou Huai'an is just a lost dog. Even if he summoned some gangsters, how could he fight with himself? A Dongchang master beside Cao Shaoqin said: "Dugong, Jia stall head and they are still in the inn. Shoot the arrows directly, I'm afraid it will hurt them. ”

"What are you afraid of. Jia Ting, Lu Xiaochuan, and Cao Tian are all first-class masters. Cao Shaoqin sneered, "They will definitely be able to come out." continued to release arrows, burned the inn, and forced Zhou Huai'an out. ”

Cao Shaoqin's words are good, but they are actually ruthless, regardless of Jia Ting's life or death. The others in the East Factory saw that Cao Shaoqin had made up his mind, so they stopped persuading.

Who would dare to refute what the Governor had decided?

Against the Governor, there is only one way to die.

Yang Yuxuan, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, was in a high position, and they all died in the hands of the Duke, they were the sons of Dongchang, and the Dugong wanted to kill them, it was as simple as pinching a bedbug to death.

A fire broke out in the inn, but there was no movement inside. Not to mention someone coming out of the fire.

The situation is not normal.

Cao Shaoqin frowned.

Qiang.

Cao Shaoqin pulled out his long sword, performed light skills, and rushed directly into the inn. There were three corpses in the inn, and their clothes and hair were burned off, but they could still be judged from their faces that they were Jia Ting, Lu Xiaochuan, and Cao Tian.

However, Zhou Huaian and others disappeared.

"Ah......h

Cao Shaoqin let out a long roar of rage, and the long sword swung, and the pillars supporting the roof were easily cut off by him.

The inn collapsed.

Cao Shaoqin rushed out of the inn, mounted his war horse, and galloped directly to the south.

The inn was surrounded, and Zhou Huai'an could not fly. Since Zhou Huai'an can't go to the sky, he can only escape from the ground.

Inside the inn, there must be a secret passage.

The entrance to the secret passage, Cao Shaoqin didn't have the heart to look for it. Even if you find it, it doesn't make any sense.

Cao Shaoqin judged that the exit of the secret passage must be in the south.

For the north, the east, and the west are deserts. Only by going south is the Gobi Desert. Out of the Gobi Desert, you can enter the customs and enter the territory of Daming.

Fanzimen of Dongchang saw Cao Shaoqin riding away on horseback and did not follow. They did not receive Cao Shaoqin's order and did not dare to act on their own. If you take the initiative to follow, you will be punished and invite you to kill.

The fans of Dongchang are actually living in the shadow of Cao Shaoqin.

People like Cao Shaoqin just rely on power and martial arts to make a fortune. There may not be a single person who is truly faithful to him.

………………

Qin Zhiyong and the others walked out of the secret passage and continued to walk south.

Along the way, everyone was in a good mood and finally escaped.

"Look. Ahead is the Gobi Desert. We're about to get out of the desert. Qin Zhiyong said with a smile, "Back to Daming, I plan to continue to study and study." As for the imperial examination, being an official, just follow the fate. It's good to practice in the public door. I am very happy to do something for the people without delaying the exploration of knowledge. Boss, shopkeeper, I don't know what you plan? ”

Jin Jiyu said: "Qin Zhiyong, if you don't become an official, it will be a pity. I'm still waiting for the day when you will be named on the gold list, and you will be able to become the first and auxiliary minister of the cabinet in the future. I don't have any plans. I plan to live a peaceful life in the future. Over the years, the old lady has earned enough money. ”

Zhou Huai'an nodded and said, "Little Brother Qin, you are an upright person, you should indeed be an official ......."

Before Zhou Huai'an's words were finished, Cao Shaoqin's roar came from behind.

"Zhou Huai'an, you can't escape. If you are allowed to leave alive, won't this Duke become a laughing stock in the court and the rivers and lakes. ”

Cao Shaoqin jumped up from his horse, holding a long sword in his hand, his momentum was like a rainbow, and he rushed towards Qin Zhiyong and them at an extremely fast speed.

Due to the fast speed, under Cao Shaoqin's galloping, the air flow driven by him stirred up the yellow sand.

Zhou Huai'an's face changed, and he said anxiously: "It's Cao Shaoqin." You go first. I'm here to stop him! ”

Qin Zhiyong thought that he could return to Daming unharmed. But who would have thought that Cao Shaoqin would catch up after him.

If things are smooth sailing, they often turn around at the last moment.

Previously, Jia Ting and the others learned that Cao Shaoqin had arrived, and felt that the overall situation had been decided, and as soon as their minds relaxed, they were killed by Jin Zhuyu and Zhou Huai'an with their cooperation. Qin Zhiyong thought that he was about to leave the desert, and he could see the Gobi Desert, thinking that he could escape, but at this time, Cao Shaoqin was killed.

Something like that, and many more. For example, both men and women have reached the point of talking about marriage, and suddenly they break up.

What does it mean to be happy and sad?

That's it!

The momentum on Cao Shaoqin's body made Jin Jianyu and Qiu Moyan feel terrified. It can be seen that Cao Shaoqin is indeed much stronger than Jin Jiaoyu and Qiu Moyan's martial arts.

Jin Jiyu said: "Qin Zhiyong, let's go first." ”

Qiu Moyan looked at Yang Yuxuan's children, gritted his teeth, and led them quickly south.

Bite!

The sound of swords clashing.

Zhou Huai'an and Cao Shaoqin finally met in close quarters and handed over.

Qin Zhiyong looked back and watched the two fight.

Cao Shaoqin's martial arts are too strong. His swordsmanship is masculine and rigid, wide open and close, invincible. Whether it is strength or speed, it surpasses Zhou Huai'an.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Huaian has no chance of winning.

At this time, Jin Jianyu saw that Qin Zhiyong was still watching the battle, and immediately scolded: "Qin Zhiyong, do you want to die?" Come on. ”

Qin Zhiyong shook his head and said, "Boss, we have to help Zhou Huai'an." He alone is by no means Cao Shaoqin's opponent. We can't let Cao Shaoqin break us down one by one and kill us one by one. We besieged Cao Shaoqin, and there was still a chance to survive. Otherwise, you will die. ”

Zhou Huai'an's body already has several sword marks. He was beaten quite embarrassed by Cao Shaoqin, and it wouldn't be long before he couldn't parry.

Jin Jianyu knew that Qin Zhiyong was telling the truth.

If Zhou Huai'an died under Cao Shaoqin's sword, then none of them would really be able to live.

"I don't know. Take Qin Zhiyong and go first. Jin Jianyu shouted.

Qiu Moyan said to Tie Zhu: "You take Lord Yang Yuxuan's child and go first." I'll pick up Zhou Huai'an. ”

The two rushed towards Cao Shaoqin in unison.

"Let's go." Diao Buyu pulled Qin Zhiyong.

Qin Zhiyong shook his head and said, "I can't leave." The proprietress teamed up and still lost to Cao Shaoqin. We had to help the hostess. ”

Diao Buyu also had anxiety in his eyes and asked, "How can I help?" Cao Shaoqin is too powerful. ”

Qin Zhiyong said: "Diao Buyu, do you think Cao Shaoqin's swordsmanship is powerful, or is your sword skill stronger?" I think your sword skills are stronger! Do you have the confidence to chop Cao Shaoqin as a fat sheep? With your knife skills, it is not difficult to cut mutton. ”

Cao Shaoqin shouted: "The rabble." No matter how many people come, it will not be enough for the Governor to kill. ”

Cao Shaoqin's long sword swung and shook the three of them back. The sword qi drove the yellow sand, and the sand flew around with a whistling sound, more fierce than the power of the hidden weapon.

Jin Jianyu and Zhou Huai'an said loudly to Qin Zhiyong: "Be careful. ”

The gold-inlaid jade jumped up and blocked Qin Zhiyong's front, blocking the attack of the sand for him.

The sand penetrated the skin, making the gold-encrusted arms look a little bloody and blurry.

"Hostess." Qin Zhiyong shouted worriedly when he saw that Jin Jiyu was injured.

Jin Jianyu said coldly: "Don't come here." Didn't I tell you to leave first? Why don't you roll yet? ”

Cao Shaoqin stared at Qin Zhiyong and said, "Who is that kid?" I guess he's a very important figure to you. Otherwise, Zhou Huai'an and you, a woman, would not have fought to protect him just now. Good. In that case, then Ben Du will kill the short-haired boy first, and then come to clean you up. ”

"Kill!"

Cao Shaoqin used his body technique and stabbed at Qin Zhiyong with a sword.

This sword, like a long rainbow through the sun, almost shocked Qin Zhiyong's mind with a powerful momentum. Even if Qin Zhiyong has recently read the Confucian classics, has a correct mentality, and his psychological quality has been greatly improved, in the face of this sword, he is still frightened and his legs are weak.

In the face of death, even human beings are afraid.

There is fear in the heart, and there is no right way to do it. It's not a common challenge to be truly fear-free.

"Zhou Huai'an, you promised me to save Qin Zhiyong's life. Let's join forces to stop Cao Shaoqin! The gold-inlaid jade girl snorted.

Zhou Huai'an and Qiu Moyan shot at the same time and attacked Cao Shaoqin.

It's a pity that even if the three of them join forces, they can't stop Cao Shaoqin.

Cao Shaoqin's martial arts and swordsmanship have reached a higher level, far surpassing the first-class martial artists. It is not an exaggeration to say that Cao Shaoqin is a peerless master.

Cao Shaoqin's sword pierced Qin Zhiyong's heart. With this sword, Qin Zhiyong will definitely die.

Qin Zhiyong even smelled the breath of death.

Facing the threat of death, Qin Zhiyong's mood changed dramatically, his eyes were particularly bright, and Cao Shaoqin's movements seemed to have slowed down all of a sudden. In fact, it is not Cao Shaoqin's slow movements, but Qin Zhiyong's thinking, which runs faster.

Don't sink in fear, just explode in fear.

At the most critical juncture, Qin Zhiyong's soul reached the level of Confucian "determination".
