At night, in the north of Tongzhou City, a carriage wrapped in a pitch-black oilcloth was slowly advancing. Sitting in the car is naturally the current "actual" owner of the Dark Key Pavilion, the eldest lady of the Xiao family, Xiao Duxue!

The driver who sat on the wheel and drove was Cheng Ziyi, the right protector of the Dark Key Pavilion who was famous in the Sheng Xin killer world. Qin Sixteen and Tiangu were walking on both sides of the carriage, guarding the surroundings at any time.

The carriage stopped at a corner by the city wall, and Cheng Ziyi, who was sitting in front of the car, pulled the corner of the curtain slightly, and asked in a low voice, "County Lord, we have arrived at the place." ”

After waiting for a while, Cheng Ziyi, who did not receive a response, did not dare to open the curtain without authorization. He could only stretch his head out of the carriage and look at Qin Sixteen to the side, with an inquiring look in his eyes.

"Maybe asleep. Qin Sixteen looked at the surroundings of the carriage vigilantly, replied, and after confirming that there was no danger, he said to Tiangu, "Go and check the entrance to the tunnel." ”

Hearing this, Tiangu, who received the order, walked to the wall, ran into the lower edge of the brick wall, pulled and pulled a few times, dug out a few city bricks, and then stretched his head to the ground, and after a while, he turned around and replied to Qin Sixteen: "Pavilion master, the inside and outside are connected, and I haven't seen the patrolling guards." ”

Qin Sixteen nodded, strode to the carriage, gently pulled the curtain, and said to his eldest lady: "County Lord, we are ready, we can go out of the city." That cautious look was like a personal guard.

In fact, Xiao Duxue didn't sleep at all, but when Cheng Ziyi asked her, she was a little distracted and didn't react for a while.

With a slight tiredness on her beautiful face, Xiao Duxue turned to Qin Sixteen and bowed slightly, and then got out of the carriage with Qin Sixteen's support.

Holding the county lord's gentle little hand, Qin Sixteen's heart also rippled, although he cherished his life very much, he also found that he couldn't leave Xiao Duxue behind no matter what.

"County Lord, why didn't you see your maid when you came to Tongzhou this time?" Perhaps he wanted to find some topic, Qin Sixteen, who was a little fluctuating, asked thoughtlessly.

Xiao Duxue, who had just gotten off the ground, looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and said with some sadness: "This is arranged by my father, and it is not easy to attract attention when I leave Tiansheng."

So I only brought some bodyguards, and the maids and other female dependents did not follow, I thought it was a temporary stay, but I did not expect that the situation had changed to such a serious point. ”

Looking at the beauty's increasingly lonely face, knowing that he had aroused Xiao Duxue's sadness, Qin Sixteen secretly blamed himself for being stupid in his heart, and then stopped speaking.

Came to the wall with the little county lord, at this time, Tiangu and Cheng Ziyi had dug a tunnel that could allow one person to pass through, and the wall tiles in this area were manipulated by the Dark Key Pavilion, and it was easy to be drilled.

took out the robe in the package and carefully helped Xiao Duxue put it on. After tying the rope, Qin Sixteen spoke again: "County Lord, the ground is a little dirty, you need to be patient after leaving the city, and when we get to the first town where we can rest, we can change our clothes." ”

Xiao Duxue shook her head, indicating that she didn't care, and as she spoke, she plunged into the hole.

Cheng Ziyi and Tiangu had already arrived outside the city wall, responsible for picking up Xiao Duxue and Qin Sixteen, and when the little county lord was almost climbing, Qin Sixteen whipped off the horse, let the carriage go in the direction of no one, and he was the last to get into the tunnel.

Almost at the same time that Xiao Duxue crossed the city wall, on Yuxiao Mountain, dozens of miles away from Tongzhou City, in a quaint Taoist temple, a young and handsome white-shirted monk slowly opened his eyes.

If one looks closely, they will find that the monk's deep eyes seem to contain a starry sky, and the shining sun, moon and stars are dazzling, as if one glance will make people addicted to them, unable to extricate themselves, and completely intimidated by their hearts.

"The daughter of the Li family left Tongzhou City without permission, and I will go to capture her and come back. Leaving these words in front of the empty surroundings, the handsome monk began to float in the air, turned transparent, and disappeared through the top of the temple.

"Is the county lord okay?" Qin Sixteen, who was the last to climb out of the tunnel, had just stood still, and asked Xiao Duxue while patting the dirt on his body.

At this moment, Xiao Duxue just wanted to return to Tiansheng as soon as possible and meet her father, so naturally she didn't care about the mud on her body, she waved her hand, opened her mouth slightly, and said to Qin Sixteen: "......Hurry up as soon as possible."

The soft groan of the sword soldier out of the sheath suddenly sounded, and before the little county lord's words were finished, Qin Sixteen drew the dagger from his waist, and in an instant, the blood was in full bloom, illuminating the silent and dark wilderness outside the city.

A young monk with an ethereal figure suddenly appeared behind Xiao Duxue, and it was strange that none of the people present except for Qin Sixteen could react.

Cheng Ziyi and Tiangu stood straight and straight in place like that, their eyes blank. As for Xiao Duxue, the little county lord, her state is even more weird, the cherry mouth still maintains a slightly open posture to speak, but the charm on her face has long disappeared, as if time has stopped.

The evening breeze blew, bringing up gusts of sand. Ignoring the blood-colored boy who was extremely vigilant, the white-shirted monk's feet did not touch the ground, so he floated directly towards Xiao Duxue, stretching out his white and slender left hand, which was about to press on Xiao Duxue's fragrant shoulder.

Qin Sixteen's heart had never beaten so fast, the appearance of the man in white shirt in front of him was too treacherous, it was beyond the scope of Qin Sixteen's understanding, this was not a human action.

Although there was hesitation in thinking, Qin Sixteen's body was never soft and cowardly, seeing that the little county lord was about to be touched by this strange man, he immediately accumulated his feet with strength, condensed his evil energy, and rushed forward suddenly, the short dagger in his hand was scarlet blood, and he was about to cut off the left hand of the man in white shirt.

The murderous blood dagger flashed in front of him, but the white-shirted man's expression was still as plain as water, he didn't even raise his eyes to look at Qin Sixteen, who was close at hand, he still continued the movements of his hands, capturing Xiao Duxue, that's all.

"Bang"!

Qin Sixteen crashed into an invisible wall of qi, and due to the excessive force when he rushed, the force of the backlash directly twisted Qin Sixteen's right hand holding the knife and bounced him back.

There was a right hand hanging that would fall at any time, and it was shocked to the ground Qin Sixteen got up suddenly, changed the blood dagger to his left hand, and the blood and anger in his body gushed out wildly, covering ten inches around his body.

The bones of the whole body clicked, and the internal organs were also constantly shaking, Qin Sixteen didn't have time to stop, his red eyes were staring at the sky, and endless killing intent swept the earth.

At this moment, Xiao Duxue had been lifted into the air by the man in white shirt, and slowly floated into the distance. Xiao Duxue still remained sluggish, and her open eyes were completely devoid of the agility of the past.

The blood light in his eyes became more and more abundant, and the evil qi in his chest combined with the blood in his body, constantly entwining, and Qin Sixteen once again gathered all the evil qi in his legs.

Slowly bending his knees, the ground began to shake, and cracks spread out around Qin Sixteen, spreading to the nearby city wall.

After two breaths, there was a huge cracking sound on the ground, and endless bloody qi burst out from under his feet, and Qin Sixteen jumped up again, turning into a blood-colored streamer, pointing directly at the white-shirted monk.
