The trail was densely packed with the reflections of trees and leaves, and the light shone through the gaps between the trees and reflected on the road.

In the dark shadows between the trees, a figure flickered, but it didn't make the slightest sound, like a ghost.

After Jiang Nian and the three of them entered Hutou Mountain, a quarter of an hour had passed, and the surroundings were quiet, and there was not even the sound of insects, which made people feel scared.

Thinking of the news that there are often mountain bandits in Hutou Mountain, Yue Shanyue said with some fear: "Master, I heard that there are a lot of mountain bandits in Hutou Mountain, there won't be any problems, right?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a bandit." Jiang Nian smiled faintly.

"It's really unproductive, it's really a flower that grows up in the yard." Zhao Ling sneered.

Yue Shanyue suddenly became angry, pouted, and said dissatisfiedly: "Master, look at Senior Sister Zhao, there is such a person talking to Senior Sister like this, you can tell her quickly!" ”

Jiang Nian was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, and said, "You senior sisters should get along well, don't always quarrel!" ”

"Cut, I don't want to talk about her yet, it's a waste of my tongue." Zhao Ling snorted.

"Master, listen quickly, Senior Sister Zhao's tone. I don't know, I think I'm her maid! ”

Just when Yue Shanyue and Zhao Ling were arguing, there was a strange noise around, Jiang Nian's heart suddenly froze, and he shouted: "Stop, there is movement!" ”

"Huh? What's wrong? Yue Shanyue asked nervously.

"I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass from here, leave to buy road money!" An extremely familiar and classic sentence came into Jiang Nian's ears. Jiang Nian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

I saw two burly mountain bandits, dressed in coarse linen clothes and carrying a machete on their backs, walking out of the dense forest on the left and blocking Jiang Nian and the others.

Brush Brush Brush...!

Immediately afterwards, a large number of figures poured out from the dense forest on the left and right, all of them holding weapons, fierce and vicious, surrounding Jiang Nian and the three of them in the middle.

That's at least a hundred.

Seeing such a scene, the fledgling Yue Shanyue was a little frightened and tightened the Huashan Long Sword in her hand, but Zhao Ling was very calm and did not feel any tension at all.

"You three are not small! Dare to cross Hutou Mountain single-handedly, really our mountain bandits in Hutou Mountain are vegetarians! The leader of the mountain bandits, who had a scar on the left side of his face, shouted.

"You mountain bandits who don't know whether to live or die, don't let me get out of the way!" Zhao Ling pulled out the weapon on his waist, and took a closer look at a long sword with a phoenix pattern engraved on the sword body, and a phoenix sculpture was also carved on the fiery red hilt, and the whole sword exuded a noble temperament.

"Haha, what a spicy chick, she looks really handsome, I drool when I look at my uncle!" Another middle-aged mountain bandit who was extremely capable looked lewd/laughed, and he really drooled, and couldn't help but wipe it with his hand.

I saw the leader of such a mountain bandit wave his hand and shouted: "Brothers, give it to me, kill the man, knock the woman out, and take it back to the cottage!" ”

"Oooh......!"

The mountain bandits raised their arms and shouted, and rushed over.

"You people are really anxious to find death!" Jiang Nian's heart sank, these mountain bandits actually came up to kill and rob, and they didn't care about human life at all.

This is really a big shock to Jiang Nian, a person who has always lived in a peaceful era, which shows what kind of world this is.

In troubled times, human life is like mustard!

"Kill!"

Jiang Nian snorted coldly, made an instant move, jumped up from the horse, and the whole person pounced on the two mountain bandit leaders like an eagle.

Brush it up!

Jiang Nian pulled out the steel long sword, and then swung it down, a brilliant sword flashed, drawing a semicircle, and the capable mountain bandit leader didn't even have a chance to react, so he was cut off his head.

"Ahh Big boss! ”

The Scar Mountain bandit looked stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, he saw the headless corpse of the big boss lying on the ground, blood gushing out from the broken neck.

"Brothers, kill me! Avenge the big boss! ”

The Scar Mountain Bandit pulled out a big knife, and instead of running away, he rushed towards Jiang Nian.

Brush!

Poof!

A golden mang shot from a distance, accurately piercing the heart of the Scar Mountain Bandit, and as soon as the heart shattered, his body fell at Jiang Nian's feet under the trend of the Scar Mountain Bandit rushing forward.

Bang!

The next moment, a huge brilliant sword slashed from the void and landed directly in the mountain bandits, and in an instant, countless casualties were killed, blood and severed limbs flew sideways.

"Oh my God! A first-class warrior! It's a first-class martial artist! ”

"Run! How could we mess with such a strong man! ”

"Wait for me, you wait for me!"

"The profession of a mountain bandit is too dangerous, I will never be a mountain bandit again!"

……

For a while, the mountain bandits who were still menacing just now became a mess and fled.

"Ding...! Complete the hidden mission: Destroy the bandits of Hutou Mountain, the task reward: 5,000 tutor points, a chance to draw a big roulette wheel! ”

Jiang Nian was stunned, his heart was overjoyed, and when he came back to his senses, the surrounding bandits had already gone, and there were only corpses left.

After the bandits left, a handsome middle-aged man wearing a cyan robe, long hair tied up, a flowing temperament, and carrying a sword appeared in front of Jiang Nian as if he had appeared from the void.

This man was followed by two entourages, these entourage's faces were like ice, and their eyebrows were full of murderous aura, one of the entourages turned out to be the black shadow that hid in the dark last time, of course, these Jiang Nian didn't know.

Whoa!

As soon as these three people appeared, all the birds in the entire Hutou Mountain flew up, flapped their wings and left, and they were really shocked.

Zhao Ling's whole person was stunned in place, and exclaimed, "Sixth Emperor Uncle, why are you here!" ”

After Jiang Nian set his eyes on this middle-aged man, his heart suddenly froze, and he was shocked to the extreme, the man in front of him turned out to be a first-class martial artist!

……

"Ling'er, you've been out for so long, you've had enough, it's time to go back." The middle-aged man's expression was extremely flat, it could be said that he had no expression at all, he looked at Zhao Ling, but his tone was like a command.

Zhao Ling came back to his senses and said, "Sixth Emperor Uncle, I'm already ready to go back, you don't have to worry." ”

"No need, you better go back with me." Xuanyuan Chong said.

"Why?" Zhao Ling couldn't help asking.

"Because, your Sixth Emperor Uncle is a member of the Ming Sect!" Jiang Nian said lightly, in fact, his heart was full of apprehension, although he was unwilling, he had to face such a terrifying first-class martial artist.

Brush!

Xuanyuan Chong looked at it instantly, his eyes were sharp, like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Jiang Nian's heart, Jiang Nian felt that his heart almost stopped beating.

"Impossible, all along, except for Elder He, Uncle Six Emperors is the best for me, how can he be a member of the Ming Sect." Zhao Ling didn't care at all.

"Really? If you don't believe me, you can ask your dear Sixth Emperor Uncle and see what he has to say to you. Now that it's time for that, I'm sure he doesn't have the need to lie to you. Jiang Nian took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said slowly.

After saying this, Zhao Ling couldn't help but look at Xuanyuan Chong.

Xuanyuan Chong didn't speak, just snorted coldly, obviously acquiescing. Zhao Ling was blindsided all of a sudden, and he felt that the entire sky had darkened, as if the sky had fallen.

Zhao Ling's original plan was to return to the palace, and then go to the Sixth Emperor Uncle to help find out the real culprit behind the scenes and avenge Elder He, but now, the only relatives she believes in the most are to deal with the real culprit behind the scenes, which makes Zhao Ling unbearable.

The huge impact made Zhao Ling feel that it was dark in front of him, and he no longer had the strength to support his body, so he collapsed softly. After brushing it, Jiang Nian stepped out and hugged Zhao Ling, not letting her fall to the ground.

Zhao Ling's soft and weak body fell into Jiang Nian's arms like a piece of nephrite, smelling a faint virgin fragrance, which made Jiang Nian's blood flow speed up I don't know how much, and his heart was about to explode.

It's just that when Jiang Nian saw Zhao Ling's pale face and desperate eyes, Jiang Nian's heart suddenly trembled, and the whole person was stunned, and deep love spread from the depths of his heart, and the desire/fire that had risen was completely extinguished.

"Fool, don't you still have a master?" Jiang Nian said softly.

These words, like a bowl of warm ginger water in winter, trickled into Zhao Ling's heart, Zhao Ling's heart trembled, and the picture that came into his eyes was Jiang Nian's gentle smile and those loving eyes, Zhao Ling felt that his heart had melted, and the picture at this moment was deeply engraved in Zhao Ling's heart, and it would never be touched.

"System prompt: The female apprentice Zhao Ling was already desperate, but she saw hope from the host, and her favorability increased by 50, and the total favorability reached 80 (love)!"

Hearing this prompt, Jiang Nian was stunned, and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Ling, Zhao Ling suddenly turned his head in a little panic, and at the same time, a blush quickly spread from the white and tender jade neck to the cheeks, looking extremely attractive, like a ripe peach, making people want to take a bite.

Seeing Zhao Ling's shy appearance, Jiang Nian was naturally happy, and at the same time a little excited. To be honest, Jiang Nian is the first time she has been liked by a girl.

"Ling'er, you obediently stay with Senior Sister Yue, let this matter be solved by the teacher." Jiang Nian helped Zhao Ling up and said.

"Hmm!"

Zhao Ling nodded lightly and walked to Yue Shanyue's side very obediently.

Jiang Nian turned around and faced Xuanyuan Chong, secretly saying that if I don't want to go this time, I will go on it, and I can only fight once for my good apprenticeship.
