When Xiao Tianhe heard Ye Linglong's scream coming from the stable, he knew that something was wrong. Ever since he heard the movement of a fight on the upper floor of the inn, his mind was completely focused on saving people. Ye Linglong rushed out of the stable and returned to guard the box, Xiao Tianhe originally felt that this was safer than following him into the inn, but now he realized that there was one less accomplice of these people in front of him. It seems that their target is still the box.

Xiao Tianhe immediately turned around and rolled out of the window, through the backyard and straight to the stable. In the stable, Ye Linglong has been held hostage by the son.

At this time, it is useless to shout "let her go" again, Xiao Tianhe directly released cruel words with a gloomy face: "If you dare to hurt her, I will let you break your body into ten thousand pieces!"

"As soon as you open the box, I'll let her go. "Brother Childe said.

Xiao Tianhe wondered in his heart, the box belonged to the masked woman, and the masked woman and Brother Gongzi were in the same group, how could he ask to open the box?" "The box is not mine, I can't open it." ”

"The box belongs to the masked woman?" asked Childe. Xiao Tianhe thought to himself: "Isn't he in the same group as the masked woman?" but during the day, he clearly communicated with the man in the animal skin jacket several times......

Seeing that Xiao Tianhe was silent, Brother Gongzi asked again: "Then you always know what kind of treasure is in the box, right?"

"I don't know. Xiao Tianhe shook his head. He suddenly noticed that Ye Linglong was desperately glaring at him, and as soon as he turned his head, a knife was on his neck. The shopkeeper stood behind him with a smirk.

"Phew, it's a black shop!" Xiao Tianhe scolded.

"Why are you still asking so much? Won't it be over if you just split it?" The shopkeeper kicked Xiao Tianhe, and Brother Gongzi took advantage of the situation to hold him hostage.

I saw the shopkeeper struggling to slash at the big lock of a box, and with a "bang" sound, a red light flashed, and the shopkeeper was bounced away with the knife.

Brother Gongzi laughed at his companion's embarrassed look: "I knew it would be like this! How could a good baby simply use a few broken locks? There is a magic circle on the box!"

"What if there is a magic circle?" the shopkeeper stood up from the mud and was covered in horse dung, "If you combine the strength of the four of me to break it, the magic circle will be destroyed!"

"You stay away from me!" Brother Gongzi frowned.

When the shopkeeper saw that he was still disgusted with himself, he deliberately shook his body, and the stinky mud was splashed everywhere.

There were a lot of mud spots thrown on Brother Gongzi's white clothes, and even a drop stuck to the corner of his mouth. He held one person hostage in both hands, and there was no way to wipe it, so he had to endure it. He was furious: "What are you doing!"

"Won't you have your hands free after slaughtering this pair of dogs and men?"

"'Old drunk' said that he must stay alive!"

"Hmph, it's pointless to keep doing such things!"

"Hey, why are they so slow when they're drunk?" Childe looked upstairs at the inn. The figure of the fighting figure was reflected in the window again!

The shopkeeper said disdainfully: "Hey, two people deal with a girl, and it takes so long to take it and still can't take it, it's really a wretch!"

Xiao Tianhe roughly heard it, the "old drunk" mentioned by Brother Gongzi should be the sloppy man, as far as the current situation is concerned, the sloppy man, the man in the animal skin jacket, the brother Gongzi and the shopkeeper should be a group, and the sloppy man, the man in the animal skin jacket and the masked woman are a group, but the Brother Gongzi, the shopkeeper and the masked woman are not a group. The reason for this strange situation is probably that the masked woman and the two men in the inn have a personal relationship behind their backs, and the two men in the stable do not know about it.

However, the sound of fighting again from upstairs cast a shadow over the complicated situation. After Xiao Tianhe jumped from the window, the three people in the house did not chase after him. The previous fight was to lure Xiao Tianhe into acting, but why is the fight now? Obviously, there is no need to continue acting. "Could it be that the sloppy man and the man in the animal skin jacket have been acting in a 'play within a play' before? first deceived the masked woman, and now that no one is making trouble in the house, the two of them will attack with their hands exposed?" Xiao Tianhe thought to himself.

"Solve these two guys quickly, I'll take a look. The shopkeeper walked to the door of the stable.

"Is there really no way to live?" Brother Gongzi hesitated.

"When is it, you're still listening to that guy, I'll slaughter those two pieces of waste in a moment!" said the shopkeeper viciously.

Xiao Tianhe shook his head lightly, sighing in his heart that the human heart is really unpredictable, and the sea is immeasurable, and there is no monolith between these four people.

Brother Gongzi first looked at Ye Linglong, who was like a flower and jade, and seemed to be unable to bear to start. But the gaze he looked at Xiao Tianhe was murderous. Of course, Xiao Tianhe wouldn't give him a chance, so he immediately summoned Ao Jianxi, and when the knife fell, Brother Gongzi's head rolled to the side.

"Hey, is there anything more powerful?" Ao Jianwei didn't enjoy it at all.

"Yes, but don't worry, things aren't quite clear yet. "Xiao Tian Dao.

"I expected them to divert the tiger from the mountain, and as soon as you left on your front foot, these two villains rushed into the stable!" Ye Linglong angrily spat at the corpse on the ground, and asked Xiao Tianhe again, "Shall we not help her?"

"I'm afraid the masked woman is not an idle person. "Xiao Tian Dao.

"Tianhe, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your strength is great!" Ao Jianwei patted him on the shoulder.

Xiao Tianhe said with a smile: "Where can I compare to you! You monster, your cultivation speed is so fast!"

Ao Jianwei's face changed suddenly: "How much trouble have you gotten into? There are a lot of people outside!"

Xiao Tianhe listened carefully, but no, the chaotic footsteps on the street came into his ears through the wind and rain. In the middle of the night, it was still raining heavily, how could so many people come to this street that is not lively?

"Jair, you are here to protect Miss Ye, and I will go to find out the situation. Xiao Tianhe came out of the stable and found the room on the third floor

I don't know when the sound of the fight has subsided, and I can't see the shaking figures. So he jumped high on the piles of things in the backyard and climbed up to the third-floor window. He cautiously looked into the room, and there was no one inside, the door was wide open, but from the lobby came the shouts of "hum" and the sound of weapons clashing.

Xiao Tianhe turned over and entered the house, came to the door, and looked downstairs. I saw three figures fighting in the lobby, and there were torches of light outside the inn gate. Through the bright light, Xiao Tianhe saw clearly that the three people who were fighting were the men in animal skin jackets, the sloppy men, and the shopkeeper. And the first two are in a gang, and they work together to deal with the shopkeeper. This time it was a real fight, and many things were smashed into slag, not only the full table and chairs were not spared, but even the wine on the wine rack was knocked over a lot. At this moment, the door of the inn was kicked open, and a large group of people with torches rushed in.

The three people who were fighting retreated with one move, and the man in the animal skin jacket pointed to the shopkeeper's nose and scolded: "Sure enough, it's you, a white-eyed wolf who eats inside and out!"

"What if it's me? Next year at this time will be the day of the sacrifice!" the shopkeeper raised his arms, and the people who rushed into the store drew their weapons one after another, and surrounded the two big men. Xiao Tianhe counted casually, and there were more than 20 people. "Strange, where is the masked woman?" he thought to himself. There wasn't in the room, not in the lobby, could it be that she had escaped from the inn?" "No, it can't be! If she runs to the front of the inn, someone will stop her, and if she runs to the back of the inn, she will bump into me." She must still be in the inn!"

The group of people in the lobby rushed up, and the man in the animal skin jacket and the sloppy man fought hard back to back, but after all, two fists were hard to beat four hands, and the two quickly hung up the lottery. Seeing that the two of them were outnumbered and about to be chopped into meat puree, Xiao Tianhe shook his head, those two people were probably unable to be saved, even if they could be saved, he didn't know whether to save them or not.

When Xiao Tianhe was about to leave, a loud laugh suddenly came from the top beam of the inn: "It's just right, I will eradicate you scum tonight!"

The figure of the masked woman "fell from the sky" like a bolt of lightning and fell into the crowd. A sword light and knife shadow flashed, and a circle of people was in different places. The rest quickly dodged away and stood behind the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was stunned, and when he saw the man in the animal skin jacket and the sloppy man walking towards the masked woman with blood stains, he figured out what was going on, and then scolded angrily: "Okay, it turns out that you are planning against me!"

"Are you embarrassed to talk about others?" the masked woman sneered.

The shopkeeper shouted furiously, "I tell you, even if you conspire to take my life, it will not be so easy! Brothers, don't be afraid of them, there are many of us!"

"What about a lot of people?" The figure of the woman in black shook, and there was an extra hilt in the belly of the shopkeeper. He covered the bubbling wound and pointed at the woman in black in disbelief: "You...... You are ......"

"I can't even recognize the adults, and you're still shouting there?" the man in the animal skin jacket stepped forward and slashed off his Heavenly Spirit Cover. He glared at the dumbfounded crowd at the door.

"Flee!"

Xiao Tianhe was also stunned, and admired from the bottom of his heart: "What a master!" He couldn't understand, since the masked woman had such skills, why did she hire him and Ye Linglong to escort the goods? Besides, such a master should not be short of money to spend, wouldn't it be easy to get a few storage magic weapons?

"The one upstairs watching the excitement, come out!" the masked woman shouted. It turned out that she had already discovered Xiao Tianhe.

Xiao Tianhe jumped down from the third floor and said to the masked woman: "It turns out that the strength of Daoyou is so strong, it is disrespectful. ”

"Take the opportunity to clean up the portal and get you involved, sorry. The masked woman changed her previous arrogant attitude and was very polite.

Xiao Tianhe thought for a moment and asked, "I'm afraid that Daoist friends did it on purpose, right? Use the two of us as bait in order to catch a big fish." ”

"Haha!" the masked woman laughed, "either way, both of you are safe and sound, but two of my right-hand men have been injured." By the way, you killed the villains for me, thank you. ”

"Now can you elaborate on what all this is all about?"

The masked woman nodded: "Call Miss Ye in first, let a girl rain in the stinky stable all night, I can't bear it!"

"'I can't bear it', didn't you do the same?" Xiao Tianhe thought to himself.

......

Ye Linglong, who had been in the stable from beginning to end, walked into the inn and was shocked when she saw the corpses all over the ground, and even more surprised when she saw the masked woman standing next to the man in the animal skin jacket and the sloppy man.

Before the masked woman could speak, Xiao Tianhe asked first, "Who are you?"

"A passerby. The woman said nothing.

"What is your purpose?" Ye Linglong asked.

The man in the animal skin jacket said angrily: "Hugh is rude!

"Hey!" the woman stretched out her hand to signal, and the man glared at the two of them and stepped aside to heal.

"I have already guessed that there are villains among my men, and I have come to Tuogong City to seize the exact handle so that I can clear the portal. The masked woman said, "I forgot to say it, my surname is Fang." ”

"But the shopkeeper didn't know who you were until he died, and that boy was kept in the dark until he died. This can't be regarded as a 'traitor', right?" Xiao Tianhe wondered.

The masked woman said, "Who said 'traitor'? In the area near Tuogong City, there are passing merchants who disappear from time to time, and it is obvious that there are people in the city who are doing murder and stealing goods. I suspect these two men are responsible, but there is no definite evidence. So tonight, I used the treasure chest as bait and set a trap to wait for the two of them to appear. Sure enough, it's the two of them. ”

"So, are you good people?" Ye Linglong said.

"Sort of. The woman replied, "I deliberately revealed the news that 'I will be on the road early tomorrow morning' to induce me."

They worked overnight. I expected them to be in cahoots in the city, but they gave me a 'surprise'. As she spoke, she pointed to a corpse on the ground.

Xiao Tianhe looked at the man's face, and suddenly said, "I said that this person looks a little familiar, isn't he the guard at the city gate?"

"This is the only thing I didn't expect, they actually colluded with the city lord of Tuogong City, no wonder the city lord has been doing nothing about the disappearance of the merchants. The woman said. She was right, the guards were under the command of the city lord, and it was absolutely impossible to do this big operation involving dozens of people tonight without the permission of the city lord.

"Actually, they also miscalculated. How can something really valuable be packed in a big box and be so ostentatious?" Ye Linglong shook her head, "But now the matter is not settled." Your two subordinates must be the small heads, and the city lord's side is the big one. Without a helper, the city lord will definitely look for a new killer, right?"

"I'm just going to clean up the portal. To seize the handle of the city lord so that he can punish it, it is the business of the generals and marshals of the Yao Gui Army. I'm a passer-by, and there's really nothing I can do. The woman's words are very pertinent, people in the rivers and lakes, sometimes have to endure some injustices.

Xiao Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Fang Daoyou for getting rid of the wicked." Since the matter is over, and this is not a place to stay for a long time, the two of us will take our leave first, and then we will ......"

The woman didn't wait for Xiao Tianhe's word "period" to exit, and then interrupted: "Hey, the matter is not finished yet, why do you want to leave?"

"Aren't all the villains dead?" Xiao Tianhe was puzzled.

"Childe is really 'a noble man forgets things', he has only walked a little way, don't you remember?

"This ......" Xiao Tianhe was speechless.

"Those eight big boxes are not just bait, are they really going to be sent to the Wenju world?" Ye Linglong was shocked and suspicious.

"Of course. The woman said leisurely, "Clearing the portal is only incidental. This batch of valuables must be delivered to their destination. ”

Xiao Tianhe and Ye Linglong looked at each other, and the woman actually changed her words and said that the box contained valuable things.

"With all due respect, Fang Daoyou is not playing tricks on us? In terms of strength, you are far above the two of us, and even your two subordinates are by no means low-handed; Why don't you let the two of me take on the responsibility of escorting?" Xiao Tianhe was a little dissatisfied.

But the woman said, "Who let you break into the Elephant Gate at night? It's not that I am playing tricks on you, but that the Elephant Gate wants to punish you two for your reckless behavior." ”

Ye Linglong pulled Xiao Tianhe's sleeve and gave him a look.

"Since Fang Daoyou insists on doing so, then okay, the two of us will finish this experience. But we already know you're strong, and don't blame us for not doing our best in case of danger. "Xiao Tian Dao.

The woman seemed to have something in her words: "If you don't do your best, someone will do your best." ”

......

There was such a big commotion on a rainy night, and many people died in the inn, so the woman decided that it would be better to leave as soon as possible. After leaving the inn, her two men said goodbye and left.

Good carts and horses have been prepared, and as when they came, they went with three people in four carriages. Before leaving, Ye Linglong looked up at the plaque of the inn, and the big word "chivalrous" was full of sarcastic charm.

This time, the woman was behind the wheel. Out of the city, all the way to the southeast. The rain had stopped, and the dark clouds had dispersed, revealing a starry sky. The eastern horizon has begun to whiten. Xiao Tianhe sat in the last car, leaning on his arms thoughtfully.

After a while, Ye Linglong came over from the front and sat next to Xiao Tianhe.

"Have you come up with a reason?" Ye Linglong asked.

"Well, I had guessed that Miss Fang was using the two of us as bait to make those two thugs think it would be easy to get it. But after I thought about it carefully, in fact, she had already planned this matter from beginning to end, leaving the two of us alone, would there be any difference in the outcome?"

Ye Linglong thought for a while: "No." We watched a play on the stage. ”

"Then why did she have to get us involved?"

Ye Linglong shrugged.

"Also, the last thing she said in the inn: 'If you don't give it your all, someone else will do your best.'" I thought she was referring to the man in the fur jacket and the sloppy man, but they took their leave as soon as they went out......"
