Mingyuexi's figure was exposed to the enemy's sight, and an arrow quickly shot towards her, and it was in front of her in an instant.

"Ding!"

A long sword stopped the arrow, Gu Yanbai took the sword, landed in front of her, glanced at her with palpitations, and then paid attention to the dark arrow shooting from outside again.

Next to this section of the road is a forest, the other party obviously premeditated, all the men and horses are hiding under the cover of the forest, constantly throwing arrows to this side, seeing that no arrow takes life, so they no longer show mercy, and begin to focus on the carriage to release random arrows.

The horse was frightened, and had already broken free from the reins and ran, and the immobile carriage suddenly became a live target.

In the carriage, Gu Yanbai couldn't resist with all his strength, he simply hugged Mingyuexi, jumped outside with her, and stood in front of her with the help of the carriage to resist and keep swinging his sword to block those cold arrows.

Looking at his back, Mingyuexi suddenly felt hot in her heart and her eyes were red in the panic.

If Gu Yanbai hadn't come in time, she would have chased her out rashly today, unarmed, what should she do? Not to mention that the other party has an arrow in his hand, even if he doesn't, he can capture her and Mr. Bookkeeper alive.

Mingyuexi suddenly remembered that Mr. Bookkeeper was still inside, and she glanced back worriedly, but the carriage was blocked, and she didn't see anything, so she could only pray in her heart that he was okay.

Gu Yanbai was already lacking in skills, and he couldn't take care of the second person anymore, he comforted Mingyuexi in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, wait a little longer, and the people from the Hou Mansion will come over." ”

In the dark, a pair of eyes full of gloom stared at the carriage, holding a bow in his hand, aiming at one part of the carriage at all times, but he didn't let go for a long time.

The bookkeeper was trembling in the carriage, and he tried to get up, but at that moment the man in the shadows let go of his hand, and the arrow immediately departed from the string and came at him.

The sound of the tip of the arrow sinking into the flesh was extremely clear, and before Mr. Bookkeeper could react, he fell down, he touched his chest in pain, but only touched the cold body of the arrow, this coldness penetrated his whole body, and his body temperature passed rapidly.

"Withdraw!"

The man in the shadows put away his bow and arrows and gave the order, and the others immediately stopped, and the group quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest, leaving countless arrows in this place.

Seeing that these people finally stopped, Gu Yanbai breathed a sigh of relief, it was really difficult for him to deal with it alone, and the arrows shot by these people were so powerful that his arm was numb.

didn't have time to say more, after confirming that it was safe, Mingyuexi immediately rushed to the carriage again, and at a glance she saw the bookkeeper lying motionless on the ground and the arrow in his chest, and her heart was about to jump out.

"Sir!"

Hearing her exclamation, Mr. Bookkeeper's lifeless eyes moved, and he opened his heavy eyelids and moved his fingers.

Seeing that he was still moving, he didn't care about the blood all over the ground, Mingyuexi hurriedly ran over, and Gu Yanbai also hurried over after him, and was stunned when he saw this scene, so much blood, I'm afraid ......

Mingyuexi was still holding on to a glimmer of hope, but when she walked over and saw the location of the arrow, all hope was dashed.

It impartially penetrated the position of Mr. Bookkeeper's heart, and even if the Da Luo Immortal came, he was powerless to return to the sky.

"Less...... Madame......"

The bookkeeper's gaze rested on her face, and he spoke with difficulty, spitting out a few words with slurred lips.

"Ledger...... Buried, under the bricks...... He didn't let it go, I, you must ...... for me"

The rest of the words were not spoken, and the bookkeeper's hard support had reached the limit, and he no longer had the strength to speak, and as soon as his eyes were closed, he could no longer open them.

Mingyuexi's pupils contracted suddenly, she squatted down, and tried Mr. Bookkeeper's snort with a trembling hand, but the breath had completely disappeared.

Gu Yanbai didn't feel good in his heart, so he pulled her into his arms, didn't want her to look at it again, and touched her head to comfort her silently.

Mingyuexi buried her head in his arms, tears fell silently, she seemed to have involved two people, they could have been fine.

"Yanbai," Mingyuexi's voice was a little choked, she raised her head and looked at Gu Yanbai, "Is it that I shouldn't take over the shop, shouldn't investigate this matter, and then I won't kill the two of them." ”

Gu Yanbai sighed and stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears: "How can you be confused, once he is targeted by those people and starts to do things for others, he is already destined to die soon, even if you are lucky, you are only living in the condemnation of conscience." ”

"One wrong step, one wrong step, all this is already a foregone conclusion, your investigation just happened to be the reason for them to do it, even if you don't come today, Mr. Bookkeeper's life has already been arranged by this group of people, just because he knows too much."

"At least now that we know the truth, they didn't die in vain, and then, we can avenge them."

Thinking of the unfinished business, Mingyuexi's sobs became quieter, she wiped away her tears, and stood up straight again, her eyes were red, but her face was full of determination.

Gu Yanbai is right, the bad guys haven't been punished yet, and only by continuing is the best consolation for the dead.

She looked at the corpse of Mr. Bookkeeper again, but unexpectedly found that the arrow inserted in his body was a little familiar, and after a while, she looked back at Gu Yanbai, her eyes condensed.

"This is the arrow of Linlang Pavilion."

Gu Yanbai was stunned, and he also pulled one out of the carriage vigorously, and sure enough, it was as Mingyuexi said.

His eyes focused on the arrow, and he fell into deep thought for a long time.

The people from the Hou Mansion soon rushed over, and Gu Yanbai ordered them to clean up the mess.

Mingyuexi took the opportunity to summon Zhu Bajie, pretending that he had just arrived, and entrusted the body of Mr. Bookkeeper to him, asking him to dispose of it properly.

The body still won't be brought back, Old Madam Gu is too old to withstand the stimulation.

It's not safe here, after settling down the scene, Mingyuexi and Gu Yanbai got into another carriage and returned to the Hou Mansion.

When returning to the door of the Hou Mansion, Ming Yuexi looked at everything in front of the door, but she was in a trance, and in this time, a person had already disappeared into the world.

Gu Yanbai turned his head to look at her distracted side face, and when he was about to speak, the tips of his ears moved slightly, and he closed his mouth again.

Mingyuexi noticed his change and turned her head to look at him suspiciously, but Gu Yanbai walked in as if nothing had happened, and looked at her gently: "What's wrong?" But what's wrong with it? ”

"Nope." Mingyuexi stopped talking, shook her head, and the two walked into the courtyard hand in hand.
