Chapter 65: Conflict

It turned out that yesterday Lixia Ci learned the clues of Yingyue Tower from the shopkeeper of Qianzhuang, and he wanted to go directly to investigate, but unfortunately, the speed of the horse still did not catch up with the speed of the spread of the news, and before she arrived at the West Lake, she was politely invited home by the secret guard who had been hiding, and she was losing her temper at the moment.

But her cultivation is exceptionally good, neither smashing and falling, nor beating and scolding her subordinates at every turn, just thinking about threatening them by not eating, and she is hungry at the moment, and she is holding back her posture.

It turned out that she was the daughter of the city lord, no wonder she was so generous.

After observing for half a night, until the bright moon sank in the west and the lights were extinguished, neither of them found anything abnormal here, but they knew that the more quiet the night, the more the beasts in the jungle would end lurking and haunt.

Just as Chouyin was handing over, there was a strange sound on the road of Shanyin, but it was three carriages quietly but slowly heading towards the City Lord's Mansion. All the wheels of the carriage and the hooves of the horses were wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and there was only a faint rustling sound as it passed. If it weren't for Qingya's extremely keen perception after fusing the needle, he really wouldn't have been able to detect this small movement.

"Let's go, Sister Qing'er, there's movement outside."

The two of them took advantage of the darkness to hide out, only to see a group of people and horses quietly moving forward on the mountain road outside. In such a thick night, they did not light torches, but they moved forward as smoothly as old horses knew the way, and it seemed that they were already familiar with the road.

Without startling the snake, the two quietly landed on the top of a metasequoia, and followed them slowly, and the closer they got to the City Lord's Mansion, the more they confirmed the truth of what the carefree girl had said before.

However, they did not walk towards the gate, but stopped at the place where the mountains and rocks converged on one side, and then walked out of the crowd several big men, who were the same people who flew into the crowd with Dading that day. I saw them come to a boulder connected to the mountain, dragging the base of the boulder and shaking back and forth, and after a while, the boulder swayed away from the mountain, revealing the dark gap behind it, and it turned out that the boulder could be moved.

After removing a gap, everyone dragged the bottom of the boulder and lifted it up with all their might. When the boulder was removed, it was discovered that behind it was a cavernous space, with no light in sight, leading to the depths of the mountain.

After the road was opened, they carried several more boxes from the carriage, and Qingya guessed that they should have scavenged gold and silver money from various places.

After a few moments, they went deeper into the cavern and closed the door to the boulder again, and the rest of them drove back the way they came. After waiting for confirmation that there was no one around, the two Qingya appeared.

"I didn't expect that there was a cave at the foot of this city lord's mansion, no wonder nothing abnormal was found inside, let's follow up and take a look."

This boulder seemed to weigh a thousand catties, which was indeed an insurmountable weight for ordinary people, but Qingya just inserted the tip of Qing Ming's sword into the soil at the bottom of the boulder, and when it was tilted up, the boulder was removed.

It's just that when he retracted Qing Ming, Qing Ya felt that the hilt of the sword suddenly became a lot colder, as if he was protesting against Qing Ya's behavior of inserting it into the dirt.

After entering the cave, the dark road winds all the way ahead, and you can't see your fingers, as if the road in front of you leads to the depths of hell.

Qingya subconsciously stretched out her right hand, just touching Hua Qing'er's outstretched left hand, without words, the two instantly interlocked their fingers, in the dark, the other party was their most important concern.

The two groped their way through the wall and walked slowly, and Qingya firmly remembered how many turns they had made along the way, and the direction of the turn. In the dark night, all the sounds seemed to be amplified several times, and Qingya could clearly hear the sound of his own heartbeat, and he could clearly hear the slightly accelerated heartbeat of Hua Qing'er beside him.

Her breathing also increased slightly, and faint beads of sweat oozed from her palms, this was the first real opponent in her life, even if she was talented, she would inevitably be nervous.

Qingya scratched her palm with her fingers, leaned into her ear and whispered: "Don't worry, Sister Qing'er, I have the Heheyu given to me by my master, even if the other party's cultivation is higher than ours, it won't hurt us." ”

The faces of the two were very close, and Qingya could feel the warmth on her face and the fragrance that penetrated into her heart.

"I'm nervous, it's airtight here, it's a little hot." Hua Qing'er whispered in response.

After this little episode, the tense atmosphere seemed to ease a little, and the two continued to grope their way forward, and after about half an hour, there was finally light in front of them.

The two of them slowed down at the same time, and the sound of a conversation seemed to be clear in front of them.

"Last month's total number was 1528,600 taels, which is really worthy of being a rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and even these ordinary people can search for these numbers."

"It's a small amount this time, and it seems that the number of places here is almost saturated, and we'll be ready to go to the next place in a while."

"The poor days in the ravines and ravines are enough, and with money, Lao Tzu has to show off fiercely."

"Don't talk nonsense, beware of the ears on the wall, let's continue to go north next month and go to Jinling City."

The last person to speak, Qingya heard it, it was Uncle Zhong Yan who almost had a conflict with him yesterday, it seems that this time, this conflict is inevitable.

"Even the city lord is our man, what else is there to worry about, can we still kill a person from here."

As if to answer his words, as soon as he finished speaking, a sword light struck from the darkness, striking the fire they were sitting on, splashing a spark that was more than a man high.

"Someone."

The mutation was prominent, and everyone reacted and sacrificed their weapons to take precautions, only to see a man and a woman slowly appearing in the dark, it was Qingya and Hua Qing'er.

"Wantonly looting the people's fat and people's ointment, and you still want to leave?"

Faded away from the restraint of Fang Cai, Qingying flashed with bursts of cold light, and Qingya held a long sword, like Shura in the dark night.

"Is that you?" Obviously, the opposite side also recognized the green cliff.

"It turns out that you came to do something yesterday, if it weren't for the Holy Spirit to stop you, you would have been whipped by me, and you still dare to send it to the door today, it seems that you can't be left."

As he spoke, Zhong Yan had already used his spiritual power, and the fireworks on the steel whip were rising, ready to give the Qingya two a thunderous blow at any time, and the rest of the people also mobilized their own cultivation, and for a while, the swords, guns and axes were covered with all kinds of halos, illuminating the originally dim cave.

"Uncle, are you so confident in your strength, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years."

Hua Qing'er's fingers flipped between the light and shadow, the two lotus flowers of ice and fire were intertwined, a layer of frost formed on the walls of the cave and quickly melted, and the steaming mist lingered around the two.
