Ling Yun rushed back to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department and went straight to the cell where Dong Wu was being held.

When he found that Dong Wu was no longer breathing, his face couldn't help but change, and he turned his face to look at the chief jailer.

The jailer's face turned pale with fright, and he stammered, "This ...... It's really none of the villain's business! Since taking over the prisoners, the little one has been fulfilling his duties and not daring to slack off in the slightest! Even this morning, the food brought to him was also strictly inspected...... Commander Ling, you see ...... clearly"

Ling Yun's face was pale, and he didn't speak for a long time; He was impatient to listen to the jailer's rambling to excuse himself, turned around and went out, and went straight to Lord Lu.

Dong Wu did die of hibiscus flower poison. Because there is not a single scar on his body; His death was the same as the symptoms of the assassins who had assassinated Ding Jiwu last time and then been poisoned by the hibiscus flower: his eyes were wide open and his face was blue.

But his expression didn't look painful at all, just very sad and regretful.

His head was lowered, his eyes stared at the ground intently, and he made a deep mark on the ground with his hand, and when he carefully identified it, it was suddenly the word "Lan".

What does the word "Lan" mean?

It should be Lanzhu. Dong Wu was still thinking about Lan Zhu until he died, and he was infatuated with her, regretting that he could not see her again before he died.

But he never dreamed that this woman had caused his death! It was this woman who poisoned him herself, and the poison was in the small bottle of snowflake brew she gave him.

At this time, all the people in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department were in deep distress.

As soon as Dong Wu died, a clue he had just obtained was broken again.

Before, Lord Lu and Ling Yun and Xu Zhi were originally discussing: through Dong Wu's testimony to force Yu Qingcheng to confess; Now, it seems, that plan has come to naught.

After this turmoil, most of the elites in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department have been lost: Yuan Ping and Dong Wu died, and Yang Zhen was also seriously injured; Now the only available talents are Ling Yun, and Jiang Chun, who has just come out of the mountain.

A few more days passed, but they still hadn't found out the whereabouts of the county lord.

The day after tomorrow is the ten-day period. Everyone couldn't help but feel worried, and even felt a little discouraged and hopeless.

Ling Yun had worked hard all day, but still got nothing. Looking up at the sky, it was already golden Wuxi, and it was twilight.

At this time, he only felt physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't want to move half a step anymore.

So, he and a few of the guards found a teahouse, thinking that they would sit down and rest for a while before continuing their search.

Ling Yun was drinking tea tastelessly while thinking about his thoughts. At this time, I only heard the shopkeeper say: "Oh, guest officer, please take a seat!" ”

The person who came was dressed in gray, with a scarf and sword sleeves, a heroic coat, a long sword at his waist, and a hat on his head.

He ignored the greeting of the shopkeeper and walked straight to Ling Yun.

Ling Yun raised his head and looked at the other party's face, and was speechless in excitement for a while.

The gray-clothed man had a smile on his face, "Why, it's only been a few days since we were separated, and Commander Ling doesn't know the old man?" ”

Ling Yun relieved himself and couldn't help laughing. He jumped up from the chair all of a sudden, patted the gray-clothed man on the shoulder and said, "Senior brother, where have you been these days, let me find it!" ”

The person who came was Ying Chuanlin.

Hearing Ling Yun's words, the corners of his eyes were unconsciously covered with a layer of hazy mist, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Senior brother has really been looking for me?" In this way, I would have been mistaken! ”

Seeing Ying Chuanlin's lonely face, Ling Yun couldn't help but think of the relationship with Yuan Ping a few days ago because of Ying Chuanlin's escape......

His face couldn't help but be gloomy, he lowered his head silently, and said in a low voice: "Don't mention the past again." ”

Ying Chuanlin saw that his words inadvertently aroused Ling Yun's sadness again, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty and said, "Senior brother, it's me who is not good, and it makes your brothers turn against you...... Blame me, blame me for everything! ”

Ling Yun came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Senior brother, do you think we are only talking about this?" Come, please take a seat! ”

The two sat down, and Ling Yun poured tea for Ying Chuanlin.

Ying Chuanlin said: "I saw my junior brother with a sad face, is something wrong?" ”

Ling Yun smiled bitterly: "Thinking about what has happened in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department in recent days, Senior Brother has already heard about it, right?" “

Ying Chuanlin nodded and said, "It's not enough! Today I also encountered an unexpected incident, and I came to you for this purpose. ”

"Oh? What's up? ”

Ying Chuanlin said: "The matter of the county lord." ”

Ling Yun only felt that one of his hearts suddenly trembled, and he thumped excitedly. He stood up suddenly, looked at Ying Chuanlin nervously and said, "Really? …… What the hell is going on, senior brother, tell me quickly! ”

Ying Chuanlin motioned for him to sit down, then sighed and said slowly: "It's a very clever thing. Last time, after I left the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, I was going to return to my hometown......"

Ling Yun was impatient to listen to him ramble on something else, and just urged him eagerly: "Senior brother, how did you only say how did you meet the county lord?" ”

Ying Chuanlin said: "At sunset today, I walked on the mountain road under the Tiger Cliff outside the city, and suddenly heard the sad and tragic cry of a woman. So, I hid behind the rocks and watched, and I saw a few people pushing and shoving a young woman with a disheveled hair walking by.

"The leader is a white-clothed masked Taoist girl; There are two people following behind: one is a big man with five big faces and three thick faces; One was a small, withered, ragged little beggar; At the end is a young girl dressed in white. ”

When Ling Yun heard this, his sword eyebrows furrowed, thoughtful; At this time, he asked, "What does that girl look like?" ”

Ying Chuanlin said: "Tall, shaved shoulders and thin waist, duck egg face, willow eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, the corners of the mouth are raised, and he looks very charming and delicate!" “

Ling Yun thought to himself: That's right! This woman must be Lan Zhu's girl. Thinking of Dong Wu's tragic death, his hatred for Lan Zhu couldn't help but increase a little.

So he hurriedly asked the following: "Senior brother, tell me quickly, what happened later?" ”

Ying Chuanlin said: "Later, I saw that they escorted the woman to the bottom of a cliff, cleared the weeds, and suddenly a cave appeared, and the gang pushed the woman in.

"The woman was still crying and scolding, and the white-clothed Taoist aunt was already impatient and said: 'County Lord, you advise you not to toast and eat and drink, if you annoy me, don't blame me for being unkind to you!' From this, I realized that the woman was actually the county lord! ”

Ling Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "This is really a nowhere to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!" If you can successfully find the county lord this time, it will all be the work of the senior brother! ”

As he spoke, he turned back to the chief of the guard, Wang Quan, and said, "You go back immediately, report this matter to Lord Lu, and ask him to send someone here to meet us immediately, and then go to Tiger Cliff together to rescue the county lord!" ”

Wang Quan snorted and asked, "Where will they join Ling Tong when the time comes?" ”

Ling Yun thought for a while and said, "Ten Mile Pavilion outside the city!" Then he knelt down in Wang Quan's ear and carefully admonished a few words.

Wang Quan said yes again and again, and then hurriedly turned around.

Wang Quan's efficiency is really high. Ling Yun, Ying Chuanlin and the others waited for a short time in the Shili Pavilion outside the city, and then they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and Jiang Chun had already led a sentry guard to come at a gallop.

After the two sides met, everyone rushed to Tiger Cliff in a hurry.

The tiger cliff is overgrown with weeds and thorns, barely outlining a rugged mountain road.

Along the potholed mountain road, everyone walked deep and shallow, and was soon overwhelmed by the craggy strange rocks.

On both sides are surrounded by mountain peaks, like a knife and axe, the forest is steep, winding and continuous, and the terrain is very steep.

Listen to it, the tiger roars and the ape cries, the strange rocks are everywhere, and the owl birds are crying, which is very mad. Looking up, the sky above you is getting narrower and narrower, and people are like frogs at the bottom of a well.

Jiang Chun couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, and asked, "Why haven't you arrived yet?" ”

Ying Chuanlin said: "It's soon, it's coming soon." Led Ling Yun and Jiang Chun to walk forward for a while, Fang said: "This is it." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and used the long sword in his hand to remove the grass on the edge of the cliff, and sure enough, a cave more than one person high appeared.

The cave is dark and secluded, and there is a faint cold wind coming, which makes people feel sad and cold, like a chilling cicada.

Ying Chuanlin said: "The county lord was locked inside. It is expected that there must be an ambush in the cave, and there are many killing opportunities, so you and I must be extra careful! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the dark and gloomy cave again, and there was a look of hesitation in his eyes, as if he was a little frightened by the cave.

Soon however, his expression returned to normal. He took a light breath, gritted his teeth secretly, and seemed to have made up a lot of determination: "You guys stand back, I'll go first." ”

Ling Yun had already seen Ying Chuanlin's cringe and hesitation on the side, and thought: It was originally my duty to find the county lord, in this complicated situation, how could I let my senior brother take this risk for me?

So he stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, let me come!" So saying, he had lit the fire, and went into the cave first.

Ying Chuanlin followed.

Jiang Chun hesitated a little and walked in.

Ying Chuanlin and Ling Yun were very close at this time, and the two were almost standing side by side, shoulder to shoulder.

At this time, he suddenly raised his fingers, and his shot was like lightning, and he suddenly closed Ling Yun's shoulder blades, back, and three big acupoints, including the dumb acupoint!

Ying Chuanlin's sudden attack, this is something Ling Yun would never have dreamed of!

Although he has been handling cases in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department for many years, has experienced countless ups and downs, and has accumulated countless life experiences and experiences, it can only be for enemies or prisoners.

For the people around him, especially his most trusted brothers and friends, he doesn't have much defense. Although someone had reminded him before, he didn't really take it to heart.

So, this became his Achilles' heel, like the matter in front of him. He would never have thought that Ying Chuanlin, the senior brother who had been with him day and night, was like a brother and sister, and his most trusted brother, would suddenly plot against him!

When Ling Yun's body fell down, he was already grabbed by Ying Chuanlin.

The fire fold in his hand fell in free fall at this moment.

Ying Chuanlin's hand was quick, and he immediately freed up his other hand, fishing for the moon in one go, and raised his hand to grab it in his hand.

Jiang Chun, who was behind, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it, and Huo Di suddenly showed the long sword on his waist.

Ying Chuanlin also drew his sword, and the sharp blade of the sword slammed towards Ling Yun's neck, and shouted: "Jiang Chun, if you dare to move, I will kill him first!" ”

Ling Yun's face turned pale. No one can understand his mood at the moment; If he could speak, he would have asked Ying Chuanlin loudly: Why is this? It's a pity that his dumb hole was controlled, and he couldn't say a word.

Jiang Chun gritted his teeth and said, "Ying Chuanlin, I didn't expect you to take refuge in Tianxiao, you despicable and shameless villain!" ”

Ying Chuanlin sneered at each other: "Jiang Chun, weren't you also a disciple of Tianxiao, and later took refuge in Lu Wenzheng?" Aren't you the same as me? ”

Jiang Chun's heart trembled, and he was speechless for a while.

The long sword in Ying Chuanlin's hand pressed another point towards Ling Yun's neck. His face was hideous, his eyes were red like blood, and he said, "Get out of the way!" Otherwise, I'll do what I say! ”

A wisp of blood had slowly flowed down Ling Yun's neck, so red that it was shocking.

Jiang Chun only felt his heart throb uncontrollably, he hung his head in frustration, and silently flashed to the side.

Ying Chuanlin held Ling Yun hostage with his sword and pushed him out of the cave step by step.

The guards on both sides could only stare at everything in front of them in amazement, but there was nothing they could do.

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter like silver bells from the top of the cliff. Countless people suddenly appeared from the sky.

The leader is a white-clothed masked Taoist aunt; Beside her stood a big man, a little beggar, and a girl dressed in white; The rest are all big men in green clothes and green shirts, all with hideous faces, holding swords, majestic and murderous.

I only heard the white-clothed Taoist aunt say triumphantly: "Sixth, now that you have made a great contribution, Gang Master Li will definitely be rewarded!" - Why are you still stunned? Now that you've got it, why don't you invite Commander Ling up right away! ”
