In the Taoist temple, because only one of the brothers who went to the county jail to find the bandits came back with injuries, and when they heard that the others had been ambushed, everyone was a little surprised and angry.

"Boss, why don't we ignore those bandits, anyway, there are only ten women left now. One person suggested.

The man he called the leader pondered.

The others said: "It's just some dirt roads, how can the catchers in the county government be on a par with us, it's better to kill them directly and let them know how powerful we are!"

Someone retorted: "Since they have calculated the third child, they will definitely be prepared, if they pass rashly like this, I am afraid that they will fall into their tricks again." ”

"Could it be that we should go out and arrest women?" the man snorted coldly, "If someone finds out about his identity, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for the master." ”

"The mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, who can know our identity?"

Several people scrambled back and forth, but their leader became worried, because when the third child went out with someone, he had the token of Jin Wuwei with him on his body, if he was discovered......

"Don't fight, we don't care about those bandits, just treat all this as if they did it in the first place. He said, "We can get together a hundred women as soon as possible, and we can go back to Chang'an as soon as possible." ”

The leader spoke, and the others naturally did not dare to speak again.

"Knock knock—"

There was a knock at the door of the temple, which was particularly loud in the silent night.

A Taoist priest hurriedly came over after getting dressed, only opened the small crack in the door, and then poked his head out and looked, and there was only a man and a woman in front of the door, and he walked out.

"What's the matter with you?" the Taoist priest asked.

Ji Jiudao: "My sister and I got lost in the mountains, and we can't find a village or inn, I'm really embarrassed to disturb late at night, can you make it convenient for our brother and sister to stay overnight?"

The Taoist priest glanced at the pair of "brothers and sisters", his eyes stayed on Ji Yanning's body, and saw that she was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and her face, which was still impatient because of being woken up, instantly became kind.

He said: "Naturally, you can, please come with the poor road." ”

As he spoke, the Taoist priest welcomed them into the Taoist temple.

Ji Jiu and Ji Yanning glanced at each other, raised their steps and entered the door.

Just as the Taoist priest wanted to close the door, he suddenly stretched out a hand from outside the door and pressed the door against it.

"Wait, wait! and me!"

The Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, only to find that there was a man outside the door.

At the moment when he was stunned, the man pushed the door open, walked into the Taoist temple unceremoniously, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, there is a place to take me in for the night, thank you Dao Chief!"

Ji Yanning turned around, looked at the man in front of her, frowned slightly, she didn't know that there were people behind her.

Could it be that the head catcher has planted another person to protect her?

Probably not, since it had been discussed, it was impossible for him to arrange for another person to come over without her knowledge.

Is it just a passerby?

If he was just an ordinary passerby, how could he not have seen a large number of officers and soldiers outside just now!

He followed Ji Yanning's "brother and sister" and asked with a smile: "You are also lost in the mountains, right? This place is too remote, I can't find the inn after looking for a long time, you are not angry!"

Ji Yanning glanced at him, and saw that he was wearing a moon-white robe, a jade crown and bundled hair, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a good temperament, and when he smiled, he showed neat and white teeth, and he didn't look like a catcher in the yamen.

Not knowing the identity of the other party, she just nodded.

Seeing that although she was vigilant, she did not resist herself, Rong Che smiled even deeper.

The Taoist priest was full of unhappiness, originally Ji Jiu was already troublesome in him, but now he has another one to stay overnight, which is really in the way.

He walked over to the guest room with the three of them, let Ji Jiu and Rong Che live in one room, and arranged Ji Yanning in the next room.

Ji Yanning entered the room, and after a while, the Taoist priest just now came over with hot tea: "Walking at night, the girl is afraid that she will be frightened, drink some tea first, and then send some food later." ”

He respectfully poured tea for Ji Yanning.

Ji Yanning thanked him, picked up the tea and was about to drink it, when he suddenly looked out of the window vigilantly: "Who is there!"

The Taoist priest was so frightened by her movement that he looked out the window, but found nothing.

"What's the matter, girl?" he asked.

Ji Yanning replied curtly: "Maybe tonight is too bumpy, and I'm a little scared." ”

The Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't be afraid, no one will dare to bully the girl in our Taoist temple, so let's drink hot tea and slow down." ”

Ji Yanning bowed his head and drank it all with a teacup.

A glimmer of light flashed in the Taoist priest's eyes, and he looked at Ji Yanning's gaze even more unscrupulous.

"You ......" Ji Yanning just wanted to stand up and reprimand, but one didn't stand firmly, collapsed on the table, and fell asleep.

After a while, the sound of someone falling to the ground was heard in the next room.

The Taoist priest pinched Ji Yanning's chin, looked at her face, and couldn't help but admire that this beauty was really rare, but now he was in need of a girl who had not yet left the pavilion, and he couldn't move the woman in front of him now.

He went out and called a few Taoist priests, helped them up, and walked them all into the secret room.

After a few twists and turns, they came to the back of a rockery, and then pushed open a false door and entered the seemingly deserted garden, and came to the door of the secret room.

There were two guards guarding the door of the secret room, and when they saw the Taoist priest coming over, they stretched out their hands to stop: "Who are these people?"

"People who are all lost in the neighborhood have come to stay in Guanli, and the poor Dao saw that this little woman was coming with her brother, so he let them stay, isn't there a shortage of girls?" said the Taoist priest.

The guard glanced at Ji Yanning, but he didn't suspect anything, and directly took out the key to open the door of the secret room.

At the moment when the guards opened the door, Rong Che suddenly pulled out the dagger on his waist, and wiped off the necks of the two guards in the blink of an eye.

Several Taoist priests were defenseless, and before they could react, the sword flashed in front of them, and one Taoist priest had fallen to the ground and lost his breath.

The other two Taoist priests were about to call someone, and Ji Jiu and Ji Yanning had already drawn their daggers and plunged them into their chests, killing them all.

The temple was as quiet as ever.

"Who the hell are you?" Ji Yanning's dark eyes stared at Rong Che.

Rong Che walked into the secret room: "Save people first, then talk about it! In short, I won't harm you." ”

There were also two guards in the secret room, and when they heard that there seemed to be movement outside, they walked in the direction of the door, and suddenly saw Rong Che walking in, and was about to take a sword out to defend it.

It's a pity that as soon as their swords were drawn, Rong Che had already arrived in front of them, his neck was cold, and his hands couldn't move.

Ji Yanning and Ji Jiu followed, and only then did they see clearly the appearance of the secret room, which looked like a small dungeon, and there were about ten or so girls in each cell.

Seeing that someone had broken in and killed the two guards who were guarding them, the girls huddled in a corner in fright, crying in low voices.

Ji Yanning stepped forward, stretched out his fingers and made a silent gesture to comfort them: "Don't cry, don't be afraid, we are here to save you out." ”

At this time, they should have been knocking on the door to enter the Taoist temple, and she needed to take these girls out quietly.

Hearing that they were here to save them, the girls were stunned.

"Are you really here to save us?" said one of the girls, her voice indifferent, "those people are not so easy to deal with. ”

Ji Yanning followed the sound and looked over, just in time to meet a pair of cold eyes, she was alone in the corner, calm and not like a person who was locked up here, as if her heart was like ashes.

Ji Yanning said: "Naturally, it's true. ”

As they spoke, Rong Che had already retrieved the key from the dead guard and opened the cell door.

Ji Yanning said: "You follow us, don't make any noise, so as not to let them find out." ”

The girls finally came to their senses, and the tears flowed even more.

"Who knows if those of you arranged to trick us?" the cold voice sounded again.

Others were also a little hesitant when they heard this.

Ji Yanning felt a little incredulous: "Now that there is a chance to escape, you don't believe it, are you just waiting here to die!"

The others looked at the girl who spoke with some embarrassment.

"Miss Hua, maybe what she said is true, they really came to save us, she is still a woman, which means that we can really escape. ”

"Miss Hua is right, the last time someone tried to escape, they beat them and almost died. ”

"That is, if we are caught again, we don't know how to beat us!"

The hesitation in their tone made Ji Yanning's chest feel like he was breathing a sigh of relief, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

At this time, Rong Che next to him said: "Believe us, I am an official sent by the imperial court to investigate this case, as long as you are willing to cooperate, there is hope to escape." ”

As soon as he said this, the eyes of the girls who were still hesitant suddenly lit up with hope and they stood up one after another.

Looking at Rong Che's appearance, he is like the upright blue sky, a hero with affection, and under such a skin, they can't help but believe that he is a good person.

Ji Jiu said: "Hurry up now! There's no time to grind anymore, there are our officers and soldiers outside, as long as you leave the Taoist temple, someone will guarantee your safety." ”

As he spoke, he quietly walked out of the door, and Rong Che motioned for them to hurry up.

Hua Yanyan, who was still doubting them just now, saw that the girls had already believed Rong Che, and walked out one after another, her eyes flashed slightly, and she also stepped forward, but her eyes kept staring at Rong Che and Ji Yanning, for fear that they would play some tricks.

Ji Yanning has a good memory, she secretly wrote down the route when she came when she pretended to be dizzy just now, and it didn't seem to be difficult to walk in the direction of the gate with so many women at this time.

"Who's there!"

Just as they were about to walk to the main courtyard, someone seemed to have spotted their traces not far away and scolded loudly.

Ji Yanning only felt a headache, they were now carrying eighty or ninety girls with one, the goal was too obvious, if they came over, they would definitely find out!
