Li Chengtang was about to change into a night suit, he didn't want to be discovered. But suddenly, I felt a slight fluctuation in the space, like someone throwing a leaf on the calm water.

It is difficult for ordinary martial arts masters to detect this ripple. Li Chengtang is different, when he reaches the realm of a great grandmaster, he can feel the changes in the energy around him, especially when his nerves are highly vigilant. Even if the martial arts of the person who came were very high, it was so high that Li Chengtang couldn't even notice the hiding place of the person who came.

Li Chengtang was a little suspicious, quickly got up and took off the air, and searched around the pavilion. His voice alarmed everyone, and Qin Haotian rushed to Li Chengtang's side first.

"Brother Li, what's wrong? Someone seems to have been here?" He was also aware of spatial anomalies.

Li Chengtang's face was very serious, he looked around vigilantly, and nodded, "Well, the martial arts of the people who came here are very high, and Senior Qin takes good care of everyone." ”

Qin Haotian also felt that the martial arts of the people who came were really high, and beckoned everyone not to move.

The people of the Prosecutor's Office also appeared from the shadows. Li Chengtang's heart sank, and he shouted to Shangguan Chi: "Go back quickly and take care of An Shunzhi!" ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Chi and the others rushed to a room, and at the same time, suddenly a gray-white shadow appeared in the air towards that room. That shadow was almost invisible to the naked eye, and even Shangguan Chi, who had cultivated the ninth rank, was not aware of it in the night sky.

Li Chengtang and Qin Haotian suddenly stood up almost at the same time, blocking the gray shadow. There was a loud bang in the air, and an old man with crane hair and a childish face stagnated slightly, retreated at the touch of a button, and quickly disappeared.

There was a sentence in the night sky, "Good life takes care of Gongzi An, the old man will come to change people in a few days, if there is a little difference, just wait to collect the body of that girl." "It uses the method of void sound transmission, and the sound is clear and goes straight to everyone's ears, which shows that the skill of the person who comes is by no means idle.

Li Chengtang and Qin Haotian retreated in unison, shocked in their hearts. The two of them were already in the realm of grandmasters, and the two grandmasters were against one person, not only did they not catch them, but they were also forced to take a step back, and the martial arts cultivation of the people who came was obviously slightly higher. Li Chengtang could guess the identity of the adult, but Qin Haotian was shocked.

On the way to martial arts, there are also superior and inferior levels in the same realm. Although the cultivation of Nangong Qingwu in the "Kunlun Void Realm" has always stayed in the realm of the Great Grandmaster, it is because the way of the sword is blocked, the Tao is the heart, the technique is the law, and the Dao heart determines the future achievements of the cultivation, and the magic can make it reach the ultimate in a certain realm.

Nangong Qingwu was already the ultimate master of the Great Grandmaster rank, and it was no wonder that his junior brother Qiu Fangcheng was so afraid of him.

The sound in the courtyard alarmed the guards and soldiers outside, and they rushed in, along with the officers and soldiers, and Liu Gou, the assassin of Lingzhou, who had just arrived.

Liu Gou greeted everyone and said with an uneasy face: "The lack of law and order in this official not only makes all the heroes and righteous people lose people, but also is disturbed by people late at night, which is really ashamed!" I don't know who broke into the pavilion just now? ”

Everyone invited Liu Gou into the living room to sit down, and greeted him one after another, thanking him for taking care of him for many days. Li Chengtang asked, "What is the purpose of Lord Liu's late night visit?" ”

Liu Gou explained the situation of the half-day investigation to Li Chengtang and others in detail, and reassured them according to Wang Zhonghe's intention to continue to wait for news with peace of mind. He also said: "Nearly 2,000 dead and wounded people were found outside Huaiyuan City, I don't know if you righteous people know about this, and who is the person who broke into the pavilion just now, can you tell this official one or two." ”

Everyone knew that they couldn't find out the results by relying on the officers and soldiers, but now they had learned the exact news of Ran Jingjing in advance, and there was no change in their mentality after listening to Liu Gou. But when they heard the battle outside the city, Qin Haotian and Ran Fei were still shocked, they didn't know the inside story, so they naturally had some guesses in their hearts.

Regarding the battle outside the city, Li Chengtang wanted to visit Wang Zhongsi and tell him to be more vigilant, and now they found out that things outside the city were better, but he didn't want to explain more about other things in the rivers and lakes, so he said: "Thank you for the concern of the envoy and the assassin Shi, and when I meet you tomorrow, I will explain the details." ”

After this episode, Li Chengtang changed his mind, since Wang Zhongsi had already discovered the battle outside the city, he would naturally make some arrangements, and there was no need for him to go to see Wang Zhongsi again tonight. In addition, for Nangong Qingwu's visit tonight, he must now explain the situation to everyone so that he can be fully prepared.

Qin Haotian and Ran Fei were both from the rivers and lakes, and they didn't want to say anything more to the official, so they chatted casually with some polite words, and then bid farewell to Liu Gou. Liu Gou went to the official post and ordered to double the number of people, and then left.

After a series of events, everyone lost their sleepiness and returned to the house. Regarding the white-haired old man who broke into the pavilion at night just now, Ran Fei still had palpitations. Qin Haotian also had a lot of doubts waiting for Li Chengtang to explain.

Li Chengtang knew that he could no longer conceal any details, so he told him in detail about An Lushan's desire to use them as an excuse to make trouble with them, and sent many masters of the rivers and lakes and two thousand elite horsemen to prepare to seize Huaiyuan. It's just that the "Procuratorate" is said to be a "Xuanjia soldier", saying that fortunately, General Liu and they found the clue, so there was a big war. And "Kunlun Silver Fox" Qiu Fangcheng and An Shunzhi are both from Anlu Mountain.

He also told everyone about Qiu Fangcheng's life experience, and finally said: "It is estimated that the person who led the troops to attack Huaiyuan this time is the Taoist of the 'Kunlun Void Realm' forty years ago, that is, the old man with crane hair who appeared here just now. ”

Li Chengtang said eloquently, but everyone listened very nervously, Qin Haotian frowned and said: "I only know that the 'Kunlun Silver Fox' is an old embryo more than ten years ago, but I don't know that he still has such a background, and the old man of the 'Kunlun Fantasy Realm' Taoist has also heard a little, but at that time the old man was still a baby, not very famous, I heard that his name was Nangong Qingwu, and then he didn't get the news silently, and I thought that the Taoist was dead, but I didn't think that I actually served An Lushan, it seems that such secrets of the rivers and lakes also owe to General Liu's eyes and ears to find out." ”

"The other party has an army to rely on, and there are two grandmasters and masters, it seems that it is very difficult to save Jing'er!" Ran Fei's face was worried, he originally thought that his side had an advantage and forcibly rescued Ran Jingjing.

"That old man is just a master of the grandmaster, the old man and Little Brother Li didn't take him seriously, that old man is afraid that he has already broken through this realm, and he is very good at saving people!" Qin Haotian slanted his eyebrows and said, "Little Brother Li, this old guy is here tonight to be a miscellaneous man, doesn't he also want to save people?" ”

Ayiyi and Meng Lang sat on the side without speaking, listening to Qin Haotian's shouts of "old man" and "old guy", they wanted to laugh, thinking in their hearts that you are not also an old guy. The two of them are fearless and ignorant, and they can't think of each other's horror.

Li Chengtang was upright, "This Nangong Qingwu is indeed powerful, it is estimated that only the two of us can compete with it, and Qiu Fangcheng is also at the level of a grandmaster, and there are An Lushan's cavalry behind him, but we are not fighting alone, so there is no need to be afraid at all!" ”

He looked around at everyone and continued, "We can unite with Lord Wang Zhonghe's Huaiyuan Army, and there is also the 'Xuanjia Army' available, in addition, we have more than a dozen newly added Jianghu experts, and there is no need to be afraid of the overall strength, the only thing we are afraid of is that Nangong Qingwu is here, and it is not easy to forcibly save people!" Since you can't forcibly save people, you have to think of other ways. Li Chengtang looked at everyone and asked rhetorically.

"Haven't you thought about it? Judging from the situation tonight, he really wanted to come to find out where An Shunzhi was held, and then rescue An Shunzhi, which shows the importance of An Shunzhi in this old man's heart, in fact, as long as we have An Shunzhi, he doesn't dare to do anything to Miss Jingjing, what Lao Er said before leaving, it also verified what Miss Jiu'er told us, and he will definitely return Miss Jingjing to us in a few days, but why doesn't he exchange it now, it has to be a few days? This is the crux of the matter, and there is some conspiracy in it. ”

Li Chengtang hit the nail on the head and pointed out the problem. For Ran Jingjing, even if she doesn't save her now, she should be safe, the key is the reason not to exchange now.

Unless it's the other party who is preparing something, or waiting for the right time. Everyone is lost in thought.

But even if it's what you're preparing, what do you have to do with the hostages, wouldn't it be better to exchange An Shunzhi back? Qin Haotian's heart was all in martial arts, and he couldn't think of a reason for grabbing his beard hard.

Ran Fei is an old Jianghu, his head is much more flexible, is there any harm after the exchange? Unless... Ran Fei said to himself.

"Unless... What did Jing'er know from their side, and this matter was more important than exchanging An Shunzhi, they were afraid that Jing'er would come back and tell us, and they would need a few days to prepare for this matter, so what was it? ”

Li Chengtang raised his eyebrows, "Our affairs have made a lot of noise in the rivers and lakes, originally thought of solving it in Huaiyuan, so as not to trouble all the way, how do you know that it will be so serious, now that Xiaogushan has not come, those characters who have been hidden for a long time have appeared, not only involving the dispute between the rivers and lakes, but also involving the dispute of the temple, An Lushan just wants to take Huaiyuan as his own with the chaos of the rivers and lakes, and we have become the truth that he occupies Huaiyuan." ”

Ran Fei's words reminded him, and Li Chengtang continued to analyze.

"Now Huaiyuan secretly hides the top masters Nangong Qingwu, Ashina Sheng and Gu Wuyan, as well as the forces behind them, of course, there are some masters we don't know, now a Nangong Qingwu has made us scramble, if he is waiting to unite with those forces, then we can only be slaughtered by others, before it was Cheng Tang a little big, thinking that it could be solved all at once, now it seems that only we leave Huaiyuan is the best policy, Cheng Tang thinks, no matter what this Nangong Qingwu is conspiring with, It's all to drag us in Huaiyuan, as long as we leave Huaiyuan with An Shunzhi, any of his conspiracies will be out of focus. Everyone listened to Li Chengtang's analysis, and they all bowed their heads and thought so.

Li Chengtang continued: "If Miss Jingjing knows about some of their plots, so they don't dare to return Jingjing to us, in this way, as long as their plot has nowhere to go, and we have An Shunzhi in our hands, they will be able to force them to exchange Miss Jingjing with us when they see us leaving!" ”

Li Chengtang's words were like seeing the sun, which made everyone suddenly have confidence. Leaving Huaiyuan not only allowed them not to have to face so many masters at once, but also forced Nangong Qingwu to exchange hostages. It's just that in this way, guarding An Shunzhi has become a top priority. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Qin Haotian can only be personally taken to the room to watch.

Everyone discussed and spread the news tomorrow on the occasion of the dinner with Wang Zhonghe.

Li Chengtang is analyzing Nangong Qingwu here, Nangong Qingwu is not analyzing them, on the way back to the "small realm", Nangong Qingwu thought very depressed. He hadn't made a move for so many years, and originally thought that this shot could save An Shunzhi so that he could implement the next plan.

Although he knew from the beginning that Li Chengtang and their martial arts cultivation was very high, he didn't expect that he would be discovered as soon as he arrived at the pavilion, and there were so many eight-dan and ninth-dan masters hidden in secret, and later he also attracted officers and soldiers.

It seems that it is impossible to snatch An Shunzhi back, so he can only exchange hostages after dragging 20,000 Turkic elite cavalry to attack the city, and then he will not have the final say at that time.

"The old man is still afraid of you dolls, so for greater action, he will let you live for a few more days!" Nangong Qingwu muttered to herself.

When I arrived at the "Small Realm Void", I saw that the lights in the "Small Realm Void" were bright, and the people at the door saw Nangong Qingwu returning, and hurriedly came over to report: "Report to the head of the house, Ran Jingjing was robbed by Hou Zipeng and Geng Zibiao of Xiaogu Mountain!" ”

Nangong Qingwu suddenly exploded, "These two children! Flying away from the "small realm" again, he chased out.
