Coming out of the county office, Lin Xiangxiang saw Cui Jian.

At such a critical juncture, she really didn't expect that Cui Jian didn't follow him.

Just as he was about to ask him if something had happened, he saw Cui Jian hugging his fists and saying, "Girl, the master has instructed me to wait for you here." ”

"He knows I'm coming?" That being the case, and letting Cui Jian guard here, is really unwilling to let her go.

"Is she in danger?" She asked directly.

"If I protect my master, there will be no problem."

Cui Jian's face was serious, but Lin Vanilla was angry when he heard it: "That is the case, why are you still delaying here, hurry up and go to his side." ”

Cui Jian looked at Lin Vanilla and didn't speak, but the meaning at the moment was very obvious, Zhao Jiuzhong didn't want him to follow.

Although she had the heart to accompany him, she didn't want to trouble him, so she thought about it and immediately said, "In this case, you go quickly and tell him that I will wait for him in the shop." ”

Cui Jian nodded, whistled twice, and a brown horse came in dust.

Lin Vanilla breathed a sigh of relief as she watched her get on the horse's back and beat the horse away until it disappeared over her shoulder.

She thought, Zhao Jiuzhong is so smart, he will definitely protect himself, and he will be fine.

Cui Jian walked all the way along the trail to the outskirts of the city, and the place where Zhao Hu and his party dug the blacksmith privately was on the edge of the city, which was originally an abandoned grange of a squire, and later Zhao Tianhua and his party found that there was iron ore in it, so Zhao Tianhua tried to buy the grange.

Who knows, the owner of the grange said that he would not sell anything, and in the end he almost died. Zhao Tianhua originally wanted to buy Zhao Hu through money and fight for this land.

Who knows, Zhao Hu found out that there was something strange in it, and he was not satisfied with so much money, he even wanted to join the previous share.

Zhao Tianhua was unwilling, he had always looked down on Zhao Hu, but he couldn't be the master of this matter, and in the end, he still let Zhao Hu participate.

In the past two days, the process of digging iron ore has been significantly faster, and Zhao Jiuzhong knew that he couldn't delay it, so he made up his mind to act today.

When Cui Jian rushed to Zhao Jiuzhong's side, Zhao Jiuzhong was leading people to guard the edge of the mine, Lin Vanilla didn't expect Cui Jian to come over suddenly, frowned and asked him: "I asked you to guard her, how are you?" ”

"Miss Lin asked me to come over to help you, and she said she would wait for you in the shop."

Zhao Jiuzhong was slightly stunned, and wanted to speak, but at this time, there was movement in the iron mine, and he saw a team of people pushing carts out of the mine.

The cart was obviously covered with a cloth, but judging from its appearance, it was undoubtedly iron ore.

Zhao Jiuzhong held his breath, and after these people walked away, he immediately led his own people to follow.

Before, he and Li Yan judged from the correspondence that Cui Yushi would send someone to contact them after Zhao Hu opened the iron mine, so Zhao Jiuzhong deliberately led people to ambush here.

First, they can find the dens of their past transactions, and second, they can capture the people who handed over to Zhao Hu and his party.

Zhao Jiuzhong had only walked a few steps, but he heard Li Yan's sour voice behind him: "We are doing the same thing, you are in danger, I am also in danger, but I am only worried about others, and I didn't think about me at all!" ”

Zhao Jiuzhong was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Cui Jian, both of them understood in their hearts that this Li Yan was jealous.

Cui Jian coughed dryly and said in a low voice, "Miss Lin also asked the general about you." ”

"He asked me?" Li Yan's words were full of joy, he really hadn't thought about this, he thought that Lin Vanilla only had Zhao Jiuzhong in his eyes, and there was no him at all!

After Cui Jian nodded, Li Yan asked again: "What did she ask, did she ask me when I would be back, did she say anything else?" ”

Cui Jian was a little embarrassed, shook his head curtly, and didn't say anything roundabout, but replied stiffly: "No." ”

"No?" Li Yan raised his voice, and there was a deep disappointment in his words.

Cui Jian nodded, and didn't say much, but listened to Zhao Jiuzhong on the side and said dryly: "General, let's talk about these words later, okay?" ”

Zhao Jiuzhong grew up listening to Li Yan's prestige when he was a child, he really didn't expect that Li Yan would eat his daughter's vinegar like a child.

"Hmph." Li Yan snorted lightly, thinking that Zhao Jiuzhong had won the care of his daughter, so he was naturally proud.

The group walked forward with the team pulling iron ore, and Zhao Jiuzhong found Li Yan in disguise in the crowd, but he didn't see Zhao Tianhua.

Li Yan also seemed to have discovered this, and couldn't help but say, "Then Zhao Tianhua Mo didn't come?" ”

Zhao Jiuzhong shook his head, if Zhao Tianhua was careless about other things, but this kind of thing he did with his head up, if he didn't come, he wouldn't be able to say it.

"Perhaps, I've been waiting in front for a long time." Zhao Jiuzhong said lightly, and glanced at the surrounding road again.

He always felt that this road was very familiar, but for a while he couldn't say where it was. It wasn't until he followed those individuals to the gate of Qingfeng Temple that he suddenly woke up: their stronghold was in Qingfeng Temple!

When he had only just returned from Shangjing, he encountered a mountain bandit wearing a monk's robe on the way, and he was not suspicious at first, until he was later abducted to a hut behind Aomine Temple.

Although he had also asked people to search the whole of Qingfeng Temple after he escaped, those monks had disappeared even the hut behind it, and if those things were not real, he really suspected that it was a dream.

Until this moment, this batch of iron ore was still transported to Qingfeng Temple, and he finally realized whether the group of mountain bandits and these people he met were a group or not!

"Is there a problem in this temple?" Li Yan seemed to see that his expression was different, and finally asked.

"The man will come." Zhao Jiuzhong replied unquestioned.

Li Yan nodded: "If there is no accident, it will naturally come, as long as that person is caught, everyone will be caught, and then we will directly escort people to Beijing, regardless of the side." ”

Zhao Jiuzhong pursed his lips, if it really went so smoothly, it would naturally be the best.

"Let your people go in and find out, it's best to figure out what's going on inside." After waiting for a while, Li Yan seemed to have thought of something, and turned his head and pointed at Cui Jian.

Cui Jian looked at Zhao Jiuzhong, and when he saw Zhao Jiuzhong nodding at him, he climbed over the wall of Qingfeng Temple with one step.

Li Yan opened his mouth and smacked his tongue a little: "This is your person?" ”

What he can't understand is that Zhao Jiuzhong is a seven-grade petty official, and the people who follow him have such good skills, but if you think about it carefully, Zhao Jiuzhong already has noble relatives in Beijing, and people in Beijing are not only popular to raise secret guards, but also popular to raise killers, it seems not surprising that there is such a quick person.

The group hid in the shade of the trees outside Qingfeng Temple, and waited until the scorching sun was high before Li Yanfang spoke: "How long have your people been in?" ”

Zhao Jiuzhong frowned, but heard Li Yan add: "There are not two hours, but there are more than an hour, why have you gone in for so long and haven't come out." ”

This point Zhao Jiuzhong is also strange, Cui Jian has always done things properly, and he shouldn't have been delayed for so long, unless there is something wrong inside?

But looking at the good men and women who came in and out of the outside, or the monks had no abnormal faces, for a while, he was confused in his heart, could it be that this was all an illusion.

"By the way, what time did the man say he was coming?" Li Yan asked, Zhao Jiuzhong looked up at the sky, and said, "I said that I came at noon." ”

"It's noon, isn't it noon now?" Li Yan has always been anxious, and he kills people when he goes to the battlefield with a knife, and he really hasn't been in such a hurry as he is at this moment.

At this moment, a group of mysterious people dressed in black and wearing scarves appeared outside the temple, Zhao Jiuzhong and Li Yan glanced at each other, knowing that these were the people who were connecting, so they had to follow.

"I'm with you." Li Yan raised his feet and instructed the people behind him: "As soon as I release the signal flare, you will rush over quickly." ”

Everyone should be, Zhao Jiuzhong and Li Yan entered Qingfeng Temple one after the other.

Qingfeng Temple is the only Zen temple in this vicinity, so the incense has always been extremely prosperous, the only drawback is that the mountain is higher, so those who are inconvenient for their legs and feet are not born here to worship the Buddha.

Walking all the way, the road was very quiet, and Zhao Jiuzhong deliberately slowed down his pace in order to avoid being suspected.

The men with black hats did not enter the main store, but went through the side door to the depths of the forest, where there was an ancient stone tablet engraved with scriptures and the names of the presiding officers of the past dynasties.

I saw that the black-clothed people touched the bottom of the stele, and the stele moved back, and in an instant, I saw a crack in the flat ground, and the group of people with black hats jumped into the crack in three or two clicks, and soon, the stele moved forward, and everything returned to its previous appearance.

Zhao Jiuzhong and Li Yan glanced at each other, Zhao Jiuzhong also learned from the man in black to look around at the bottom of the stone stele, and finally touched a bulge, he pressed it lightly, the bulge was concave, and the stele moved to open a crack.

Zhao Jiuzhong and Li Yan jumped down, only to see that there was an extremely dark corridor in front of them, the silence in the corridor was terrible, they quietly chased forward, this has not yet walked out of the corridor, there was a burst of footsteps before and after, and then, the lights in the corridor were lit, and when Zhao Jiuzhong and Li Yan saw the scene in the corridor clearly, the two were already surrounded by a group of people in black.

"Zhao Jiuzhong, why do you say this, you want to be my enemy." Among them, a man in black except for a black scarf, that face is Zhao Tianhua's.

Zhao Jiuzhong realized that he had been tricked, and his whole complexion changed.

"There is no door to hell, you want to enter, Zhao Jiuzhong, I let you escape last time, but I can't help it this time." Zhao Tianhua grinned, he never thought that one day, he would be able to solve this long-term concubine who had been honored and disgraced for half his life.

Zhao Tianhua waved his hand at everyone, and the group of black-clothed people immediately pounced towards Zhao Jiuzhong and Li Yan.

Zhao Jiuzhong just realized that the mountain bandit he encountered when he came back was really related to Zhao Tianhua, and a vicious battle immediately began again.

Zhao Jiuzhong and Li Yan are both fists and feet, but they are outnumbered, not to mention, Zhao Tianhua attracted people who are not bad, so Zhao Jiuzhong led Li Yan to evacuate.
