The first battle of Xiaoyaomen was successful, and hundreds of Japanese robbers were annihilated, but Ren Xiaoyao was not happy. Although the casualties of the various factions in the Central Plains were not too great this time, with less than 50 dead and wounded, they defeated a brigade of nearly 500 Japanese invaders, and the results were not small. However, after Ren Xiaoyao and the martial arts people went back, they found that the group of people who set off at the beginning, that is, the people from the Laughing Moon Song, the Fifth Row and the Jade Immortal Pavilion, did not come back.

Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but be a little panicked, so he sent the adults and horses to start a careful search, but still found nothing.

Tang Zhong of the Dragon Sword Society was also very worried, because one of his important subordinates, Ananda, who was also the highest martial artist in the Dragon Sword Society, had never come back since they were separated last night.

Although Tang Zhong concluded that Ananda must still be alive, he had not yet returned, and most of the time he was in trouble. Tang Zhong knew that Ananda was strong in martial arts, and if he wasn't a top martial arts master, he would generally be unable to resist him. However, after these several battles with the Japanese Invaders, Tang Zhong also found that the Japanese Kou were also masters, and they were mixed, and there were all kinds of masters.

What everyone didn't expect was that the daughter of the prefect, Miss Hong Yaqiu, was actually a disciple of the Fire Evil Sect. But there is still one thing in Tang Zhong that I don't understand, why do the big people keep saying that Miss Hong is a member of the temple, what does she have to do with the temple?

Tang Zhong couldn't figure it out for a while, because on the bright side, Miss Hong and the temple actually had no direct connection, which was the most troublesome problem.

Of course, since Miss Hong could be a disciple of the Fire Evil Sect, it was not uncommon for her to have private dealings with the Temple. It's just that according to Tang Zhong's private observations, it seems that Sheng Zhiqiang, the new lord of the temple, doesn't know about this matter at all.

Because this matter is very important, although the martial arts people who participated in the operation this time all knew about this matter, no one dared to speak out. Lord Hong has a special status, and he also has the support of Dongchang Shi's father-in-law. These martial arts sects obviously know the style of Dongchang, and they know that if they are against Dongchang, whether they are in the court or martial arts heroes, they will definitely not be good. Therefore, before Ren Xiaoyao and other martial arts giants did not speak, no one dared to hype up this matter.

Ren Xiaoyao also felt that this matter had become very tricky, because his relationship with Lord Hong was not bad. But if he comes to the door now and tells the truth, I'm afraid that Lord Hong won't believe it. In this way, not only will his relationship with Lord Hong become extremely embarrassing, but it may even lead to the covenant between Lord Hong and Xiaoyaomen once again becoming an empty talk.

Although the court was already determined to fight against the Japanese Invaders, if Lord Hong could not work together with the various factions of the martial arts, it would be equally difficult for them to achieve great things.

Ren Xiaoyao only felt that things were getting more and more chaotic, as if they were a mess, and he had no clue at all.

The temple suddenly turned enemies into friends, and the new lord Sheng Zhiqiang became the leader of the anti-Japanese alliance; And Mei Yun Shitai turned friends into enemies again, and became a big killer of the Japanese robbers. Coupled with the special identity of Miss Hong Yaqiuhong, if any of these imitation things are not handled well, it may directly lead to the failure of this anti-Japanese righteous act.

Ren Xiaoyao didn't expect how things could become so complicated and troublesome, so he could only secretly consult Tang Mugong.

Now, he can't believe anyone but Tang Mugong.

This anti-Japanese act was originally called for by their two major factions, but now there are so many characters who seem to be friends but not friends, and they feel that they should be more careful.

"Brother Mu? What do you think about this? Ren Xiaoyao asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Miss Hong?"

"In my opinion, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding in this." Tang Mugong replied.

"But this matter, it's not good for us to go to the Hong Mansion to verify it in person, if we meet Lord Hong, I don't know how to speak?" Let it be easy.

"This matter must be clarified as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a bigger mess." Tang Mugong said very urgently.

"Yes! That's why I'm looking for you to discuss this! Ren Xiaoyao was also very anxious.

"Also, the person who showed us the way yesterday, did the pavilion master know who it was?" Tang Mugong couldn't let go of this problem, so he took the lead in raising it.

"I'm wondering too." When Ren Xiaoyao said this, he naturally didn't know.

"This time, the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have all gathered, and they are getting more and more lively." Tang Mugong smiled bitterly.

"I don't know what happened to them in the fifth line, how did they suddenly disappear!" Ren Xiaoyao began to worry about the fifth line and the others again.

"Pavilion Master Ren rest assured, a few of their great swordsmen have experienced a hundred battles, and nothing serious will happen! What I'm worried about now is that it's still Mrs. Mei Yun. How did Mrs. Shi turn into a pawn of the ghost road? Tang Mugong was even more puzzled.

"Still, I seem to have suddenly understood." Ren Xiaoyao thought for a moment, and then said slowly.

"Understand what?"

"Maybe! The matter of the master was originally a backhand left by the ghost Daozi for himself. In fact, this matter, perhaps since the battle in the capital, he has already begun to brew. It's just that the old ghost thinks that his killer weapon hasn't been used yet, so he left a hand in the capital. Ren Xiaoyao explained.

Tang Mugong didn't understand it, he thought about it for a while, and then suddenly realized a big thing, so he had to ask in a low voice: "Could it be that before the capital, all the people of the Emei faction were hit by the soul fixing needle?" Thereinto...... Also the teacher? Although Tang Mugong asked this question, even he himself couldn't believe that this was the truth.

"Now, it seems like the only plausible explanation?"

"However, if the old ghost could have controlled Shi Tai a long time ago, why would he still instruct Shi Tai to jump off the cliff instead of fighting you and me to the death?" Tang Mugong asked.

"If you can explain this problem, you will be able to figure out all the secrets of the Emei faction. Perhaps, in my guess, it may be because the will of the master is too strong, and although the ghost Daozi has a soul fixing needle, he cannot completely control the master. Ren Xiaoyao reasoned.

"It's possible." Tang Mugong couldn't help but believe Ren Xiaoyao's inference now.

"Master, apprentice Sun Jishan asks to see!"

"Oh! Come on in! ”

"Master, according to the report from the spies, the remaining Japanese robbers have indeed withdrawn from the Nanfeng Cliff to the sea, but only Hong ...... Dead water fairy. Huang Jishan came in and said. Huang Jishan paused when he spoke, even he couldn't figure out whether the backwater fairy was Miss Hong Yaqiu?

"Have you ever let the Japanese find out!" Ren Xiaoyao asked.

"No, the apprentice will personally investigate, and he will never be discovered." Huang Jishan replied.

"Excellent! Just let these little shrimp go! The big fish are yet to come. Ren Xiaoyao's expression suddenly became decisive.

"And what about the other one? What should I do? Huang Jishan asked.

Ren Xiaoyao and Tang Mugong both knew which "only" he was talking about, and this "only" was also the most tricky, and they moved the whole body with one shot, and there was no perfect plan, so they didn't dare to move. However, if they want to ignore it, it is very likely to cause them another heavy blow.

"You step back first! Let me think about it! Ren Yaodao.

"Yes, Master!" Huang Jishan said, and was about to retreat, but was stopped by Ren Xiaoyao again: "That's right! On the side of Yumu Village, if you want to look at the eyeliner, you must be smart-minded. ”

"The disciple understands."

Huang Jishan had just left, when a black dog suddenly came to the door, Ren Xiaoyao was about to go back to the house, and suddenly felt that this black dog was very familiar, so he immediately turned around.

"Brother Mu, look!"

"What's the matter?" Tang Mugong said, and he also saw the black dog, only to see that his dog was still talking about a letter in his mouth.

Ren Xiaoyao just thought about it, but the black dog stepped back keenly, dropped the letter, and fled away.

Ren Xiaoyao and Tang Mugong stepped forward to open the map, but saw that there was no letter in it, only a hand-drawn map.

"Coldwater Valley! It seems that this master is one step faster than us. Ren Xiaoyao immediately understood the meaning of the map.

"Then let's hurry up and save people!"

Although there is not a word on the map, Ren Xiaoyao recognizes this place, which is the cold water valley that few people go to.

"Ah Lie, hurry up and gather people and go out with me." Ren Xiaoyao ordered loudly.

In order to keep it secret, Ren Xiaoyao and Tang Mugong just urgently ordered their subordinates to gather people, but they did not say what they were going to do, nor did they show the map to the public, so as not to leak the news.

Sheng Zhiqiang didn't know what the hell Xiaoyaomen and Tangmen were doing, and soon after he came back, he immediately wanted to go out again, so he could only send someone to keep an eye on him.

When the two teams of Tang Men and Xiaoyao Gate went out separately, Tang Zhong and the people of the Dragon Sword Society slowly followed.

It's just that they don't follow too closely, because they know that behind these two teams, there must be other people's eyes.

"Big boss, why don't we follow closer?" Long Fuzhang asked.

"The praying mantis flutters the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind! What we want to follow is not the people of the Tang Gate and the Xiaoyao Gate, but the people who are following them. Tang Zhong replied.

Tang Zhong's thoughts, perhaps his subordinates, will never be able to understand. Or, at all, the brains of his subordinates can't keep up, and they can't imagine that Tang Zhong is as comprehensive.

"The person who stalked them?"

When the Long brothers were curious, they saw a team of centaurs and quietly followed, but they didn't see it, where did this team come from? I saw that there were four people in this group, and they didn't go far before they immediately divided into two teams. One road is still on the main road, and the other road turns into the wooded path.

"What are they trying to do?" Long Fusheng asked.

"Follow along, you'll find out soon. Brother Long, the two who went up the mountain will be handed over to you. Second Brother Long, let's go to Cold Water Valley. Tang Zhong commanded.

"Yes! I'll go with it right away. I just wish Ananda well! After Long Fuzhang finished speaking, he immediately went up the mountain.

Tang Zhong took Xiao Hei with him, but he didn't follow too closely, for fear that behind them, there would be another team of people following him.

They have Xiao Hei together, so they are naturally not afraid of losing them. What's more, they actually knew that the destination of Ren Xiaoyao's trip was Hanshui Valley, because this news was sent by Tang Zhong.

After Ananda disappeared, Tang Zhong quickly found Ananda's location with Xiao Hei. It's just that after finding that they were trapped, their Dragon Sword Society had too few people, so they could only come back and ask Ren Xiaoyao and Tang Mugong for help.

However, once the men and horses of the Loose Gate are dispatched, they will inevitably attract the attention of their enemies.

Tang Zhong even found out now that these martial arts people around him were human beings and ghosts for a while, and they couldn't tell the difference at all.

It's like all the grass and trees are soldiers, and no one can trust anyone except themselves.
