However, it was said that the people of Ding Mansion and He Mansion requested an order to search Qingyunguan and arrest the fugitives. After some searching, He Luwei asked if the assassin had been found?

The guards looked depressed one by one, and the answer was already written on their faces.

Yuan Zhendao's face was expressionless, and his cold gaze swept over everyone's faces.

He Luwei said: "Dao Chief, there are many offenses, please Haihan for the rudeness." ”

Yuan Zhen said: "Steward He, why did he say this. Since the Assassin is not here, you should rest assured. ”

He Luwei smiled embarrassedly: "So, I'll take my leave." "I made a look at Luo Zhenyi and Xiao Yongnian; The back team of everyone changed to the front team, and they left Qingyunguan dejectedly.

Ding Jiying said unwillingly: "What, this is leaving?" ”

He Luwei smiled bitterly and said, "My second son, when do you want to wait?" ”

Ding Jiying saw that He Chengqi had gone away, so he had no choice but to arch his hand to Lingyun and walk towards the door listlessly.

After everyone was gone, Daoist Yuan Zhen invited Ling Yun to sit down again. Ling Yun saw that he looked depressed, and he didn't want to say anything more.

At this time, Xintong came over with a delicate brocade box; When I opened it, the box contained a fine snow lotus.

Ling Yun thanked him for it, and then took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels from his arms and said: "This is a little bit of heart, as a gift for incense in the view, it is not a respect, and I hope that the Taoist chief will accept it." ”

Yuan Zhen excused himself and accepted it.

Ling Yun said: "There is still something in Ling's mansion, so I don't dare to ask for more mercy, so I leave." ”

Yuan Zhen also had no intention of retaining, so he said a few polite words and ordered Xintong to send the guest.

Xintong sent Ling Yun away, and when he returned, he saw that the master's face was gloomy and his eyebrows were locked, and he couldn't help but say, "Master......"

Yuan Zhen pouted softly and motioned for him to close the door; Then he went with him into his bedroom, and took out a bunch of keys from the brocade bag at the bottom.

"Xintong, you guard the door first, and let me know if there is anything in time."

Xintong nodded knowingly.

Yuan Zhen gently moved the table, and a small door appeared on the wall behind the table, and Yuan Zhen opened the door with the key and bowed in.

Xintong stepped forward, closed the door again, moved the table back to its place, and then went out and stood at the door.

Yuan Zhen entered the door, bent down the narrow and long staircase, and entered a basement.

There was only an oil lamp lit in the room, and the flickering light made the whole room flicker, looking eerie and terrifying.

There was a man lying on the bed at the base of the wall. He lay stiff on his chest with a thick bandage, his face pale, and there was not a trace of blood on his lips.

On the table in front of the bed, there are kettles and meals, which obviously cannot be taken care of by the patient alone, but have to be taken by the patient himself.

Yuan Zhen Dao Chang walked to the bed, sat down, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?" ”

The patient said, "I can't die yet." There was a commotion just now, what happened? ”

Yuan Zhen said: "They came to search, just left." ”

The patient said, "How could they be suspicious of this?" ”

Yuan Zhen said angrily: "You also said that at that time, you blatantly kidnapped Miss Ding Mansion, which is obvious to all, of course they have to suspect this." Alas, I'm afraid that even I can't escape now. ”

The patient is silent. He is the heart.

Yuan Zhen said: "You kid is good at everything, there is only one thing that reassures me: too willful and reckless, and insists on going his own way."

"Last time, you and I had already planned to rob people in Shenshi, but who expected to kill halfway to bite the gold, and suddenly an assassin appeared, disrupting the overall situation.

"I thought that it would be difficult to succeed this time, and I did receive your flying pigeon message afterwards, and I have already written back to tell you about this time, and then look for another chance. But why do you act rashly to the point where you can't control it! ”

Gritting his teeth, he said: "I admit that I am a little reckless, but I also believe: if you want to succeed in anything, you must always take a risk!"

"And later, I could have hijacked Miss Dingfu, if it weren't for that damn Ling Yun intervening, things wouldn't be as bad as they are now! And if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have suffered this......" Agitated, he tugged at the wound again and snorted in pain.

Yuan Zhen looked at the painful expression in his heart, and couldn't help but be miserable, thinking to himself, "Just now Lingyun is still here to ask for Snow Lotus." ”

But how could he tell his heart about it again, he knew that with his fiery nature, he would be furious when he heard this.

He let out a long breath and said, "Don't talk about that yet. Hai'er, how do you feel now, can you act? ”

The heart said: "What do you mean ......?"

Yuan Zhen sighed: "Since they have noticed this place, you should not stay here anymore - you must leave here immediately." ”

He smiled bitterly and said, "The whole world is not the king's land, where can I escape to if I leave here?" ”

Yuan Zhen said: "But they won't give up; If you don't leave, what can you do? Take a step back and say, even if the people from the Ding Mansion and the He Mansion don't come to ask, the people from the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department will not let you go, not to mention that the shrewd and wise Ling Commander is among them. ”

The mind was annoyed: "Don't mention him! ”

Yuan Zhen said: "Tonight, let Xintong and them escort you, and leave here immediately." ”

"Ah, in such a hurry?" The thought of leaving the place where I had lived for twenty years and who had planted my deep affection for it made my heart ache.

Yuan Zhen said abruptly: "There is no banquet in the world, we will always have the opportunity to meet again in the future." Hai'er, take care......" He turned his face back, holding back the tears that were about to flow.

Looking at Yuan Zhen's sad expression, his heart was miserable for a while, and he only felt that he hated those who forced him to this kind of field.

He gritted his teeth and said, "As long as I can get out alive, one day I will make them pay the price they deserve!" ”

It was night, the moonlight was dim, and a few dim rays of light were weakly poured down and sprinkled on the dark and secluded branches of the deep mountains and old forests.

When the mountain wind blows, it rustles, and bursts of coolness penetrate into the heart and spleen, making people sad and chilling. The occasional tiger roaring ape cry or two is even more terrifying.

On the dark and desolate rugged path, a cluster of shadows is analyzed from far and near. Closer, it can be seen that it is two people carrying a sedan chair.

With the rhythmic pace of the two, the sedan chair also squeaked rhythmically and walked slowly.

The two people carrying the sedan chair are dressed as Taoist children; The person sitting in the sedan chair wears a hood with a large cover, the brim of which covers almost the entire face, and the face is unrecognizable when it is dark. He was wearing a trench coat, which made the outline of the whole person very blurred.

When the three of them approached the eight-way intersection, they suddenly heard a rustling sound around them, and then a sentry guard flashed out of the sky, and in a blink of an eye, the three of them were tightly trapped in the center.

The two people who carried the sedan chair were a little frightened, and one of them said in a trembling voice: "Who are you and what are you going to do?" ”

The leaders are Luo Zhenyi and Xiao Yongnian.

Luo Zhenyi sneered: "We should have met during the day, the two of you are really nobles!" ”

Xiao Yongnian said: "Big brother, don't talk nonsense with them." Hey, let me ask you, where are you going to go so late at night and sneaky? ”

The Taoist priest said, "My master is in a bit of a hurry tonight, and the two of us will escort him down the mountain." ”

Luo Zhenyi sneered: "I'm afraid it's not your master who wants to go down the mountain to do business, but someone else!" As he spoke, he raised his hand to remove the hood of the man sitting in the sedan chair.

The two disciples hurriedly stopped.

Xiao Yongnian was annoyed, raised his hand twice and slammed the thunderbolt divine palm, and the huge wind shook the two of them a few steps and almost fell. Luo Zhenyi took the opportunity to lift the man's hood.

The man's right hand flicked slightly, and at the same time, with a flick of his left hand, he had already pulled the hood down and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Luo Zhenyi took a few steps back, looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that that person was really Yuan Zhen Dao Chief!

Luo Zhenyi looked at Xiao Yongnian, and couldn't help but be extremely disappointed in his confusion, and said: "Dao Chief, I have offended a lot of people below, please forgive me." ”

Yuan Zhenruo didn't care and said, "Oh, the two of you are dutiful, you should." Why are the two of you here, and what is the housekeeper? ”

Luo Zhenyi said: "There is something in the house, Steward He went back first." ”

Yuan Zhen Dao Chang looked around from time to time. Xiao Yongnian said: "What is the Taoist chief looking for?" ”

Yuan Zhen said in a panic: "Oh...... It's nothing. Poor Dao still has something to do, so I won't accompany you. ”

"Daoist, please."

Yuan Zhen put on the hood again and instructed the two disciples to lift the sedan chair and continue to move forward.

A gust of mountain wind blew, whining, and the rustling of dead wood and branches combed the bleak moonlight into a strange and mottled way.

As soon as he turned the mountainside, Yuan Zhen ordered the second disciple to stop, turned around and got off the sedan chair, and hurriedly rushed to a fork in the southwest with the two disciples.

By this time he had realized from his sixth sense that something was wrong.

As soon as he met Luo Zhenyi and Xiao Yongnian, he had an ominous premonition.

He thought his plan would work: let people escort the soul away from another very hidden path; However, he appeared as a stand-in to attract the enemy's attention, so that the mind could get out smoothly.

But this was just wishful thinking on his part. Just now, he only found people from Ding Mansion and He Mansion, but he didn't see anyone from Lu Mansion, let alone Ling Yun.

So, from that time on, he was in a state of apprehension, lest he could only hide half of his design; If that's the case, then the result is not half the battle, but a total loss.

He was thinking wildly when Xintong came running in a panic.

The darkness of the night obscured his expression, but at this time, his stumbling footsteps and heavy and rapid gasping had ruthlessly turned the ominous premonition in Yuan Zhen's heart into reality.

Xintong looked at Yuan Zhen blankly, and cried: "Master, the spiritual junior brother was ...... They robbed you! ……”

Yuan Zhen said indiscriminately: "Who are they?" ”

"Lingyun ...... of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department"

Yuan Zhen only felt his head thump, and his mind went blank.

This Ling Yun is really his nemesis. He was thinking, maybe Ling Yun met him in his previous life, otherwise how could there be such an ending?

After a while, Yuan Zhen came to his senses and muttered, "Where is he, take me quickly!" ”

Before the words fell, I only heard a loud voice say: "No need, I'm already here!"

When he turned around, he saw Ling Yun with a sentry guard standing in front of him.

And when Yuan Zhen really saw the heart that had fallen into the hands of the enemy, he was really in chaos.

The mind slumped on the sedan chair, just as when he came out of the view; It's just that the body is stiff and motionless, and it is estimated that the acupuncture points have been restrained.

At this time, Yuan Zhen was almost desperate. He looked straight at Ling Yun's eyes and said in an almost pleading tone: "Commander Ling, for the sake of the poor road for many years of good deeds, for the sake of you and I who are finally like-minded, please let him go." You...... You can take me away because he's innocent and it's all my fault! ……”

Ling Yun was stunned: "How do you say this?" ”

Yuan Zhen said: "I instructed the whole story of this matter!" Commander Ling, please let him go, I am willing to replace him. ”

Ling Yun Zhengse said: "According to the law of the king, it is one person who does things and one person who is responsible, and there is no substitute at all; Besides, you just admitted that you are the mastermind, so no matter what the truth is, now I will ask the Taoist chief to follow me back to the house to assist in the investigation. ”

As he spoke, his handsome eyes flashed and he gestured to the two compartments. I only heard the swords ringing, and the guards were ready to go.

Yuan Zhen saw that Ling Yun's sword eyebrows were upside down, his starry eyes were wide open, and he didn't leave any emotion, so he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Sure enough, it's the style of the people in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department!" Maybe that's how it should be, alas! Poor Dao confessed to planting ......" and walked forward silently.

When Ling Yun approached, he suddenly raised his hand, and his shot was like lightning, and a pungent smoke dispersed, and in an instant, the sky was dark and chaotic.

All the guards were choked with tears and coughing, which was described as extremely embarrassing.

Yuan Zhen took the opportunity to move the phantom, ran to the heart in a few steps, and reached out to pull him; But I only felt that my wrist was numb, and my pulse had been buckled.

His heart sank, and before he could calm down, the three big points on his shoulders and back had been restrained, and he was immediately soft and unable to move.

The person who restrained him was none other than Ling Yun.

When the gloomy clouds and mist dissipated, the moonlight like water re-analyzed the outline of the deep mountains and old forests, and Ling Yunfang returned to his original place.

Looking at the guards lying on the ground, who were still wailing, he sighed lightly and said, "Dao Chief, your Ecstasy Mist is really powerful. If it weren't for Ling's precautions, I'm afraid he would have encountered these people in general.

"If I'm not mistaken, the white-clothed masked man who used the fog as a trick to save his soul outside that abandoned hut last time should have been you, right?"

Yuan Zhen sighed: "Lingyun, you are really my nemesis!" ”

Ling Yun's face was expressionless, and he only sneered and said, "Dao Chang's words are serious. ”

Look at the sky again. But seeing the Milky Way in the sky, the jade dew is zero, and the moon is in the middle of the sky, it is close to the third watch.
