"Quack!quack!"

In the blue sky and white day, a few crows croaked in the air, circling back and forth around Cao Qin and his entourage, who were slowly moving forward on the mountain road, lingering, which made Cao Qin, who was already in a dignified mood, even more anxious.

Today is the Jade Dragon Festival, so before dawn, Cao Qin personally led more than 100 elite disciples of the Jade Tiger Hall and hurriedly set off for Tianshan. This trip can be said to be gaining momentum, and the reason why he brought so many disciples with him was mainly to deal with Xun Qin's gang. Cao Qin had already received news from Su He that there were more than 100 swordsmen and brothers hidden in the Luohan Temple.

In addition to the people of the Jade Tiger Hall, Su He, Cha Gan, Batel and Zhuo Ya were also among them.

Cao Qin is true to his word, although Su He failed to help him rescue his son, but after all, he also helped him, so Cao Qin was determined to fulfill his promise to Su He and help them introduce the Jade Dragon Palace Master.

As for Su He, he kept his promise to Liu Xunyi, and never left Baishuang along the way. And Bai Shuang only bowed her head and walked forward, even if Su He occasionally had questions about her, she didn't say a word.

After leaving Huodu, he walked for about two hours, without saying anything all the way, and everyone had dark faces and hurried steps. Everyone knows that the primary purpose of this trip is not to pray for life, but to save people.

"Where did the dead crow come from?" Lei Biao seemed to see Cao Qin's displeasure, and then raised his eyes to look into the air, shouting, "Bring a bow and arrow!"

"Forget it!" Cao Qin's face sank like water, and he stopped, "We have entered the leaf forest, you should take people to be careful and vigilant, what are you doing with those crows?"

The leaf forest, in fact, is a birch forest halfway up the mountainside, due to the greater climate change here, so this birch forest is full of fallen leaves all year round, so it is named the leaf forest.

When you enter the forest, it is still a spring and summer scene, and when you leave the forest, you can see the snow on the Tianshan Mountains. The scenery of the leaf forest is as beautiful as a fantasy in the world, one step at a time, one scene at a time.

It's a pity that for Cao Qin at this moment, there is not much interest in enjoying the scenery.

"Did you tell that woman what I meant yesterday?" Cao Qin stood in the middle of the mountains and forests, raised his eyes and asked Lei Biao casually.

Lei Biao said: "At the beginning of today, Ye Zilin ransomed people in person, not a word. ”

Cao Qinruo nodded nonchalantly, and said, "Did that woman ever agree to it in person?"

"This ......" Lei Biao's tone froze, and he smiled bitterly in embarrassment, "That's not true, at that time, I saw the reaction of the man and the woman, and it seemed to be a little hesitant......" As he spoke, Lei Biao's expression changed suddenly, and he asked urgently, "Hall Master, if they don't come to trade, wouldn't that son be ......?"

"No!" Before Lei Biao could finish speaking, Cao Qin had suddenly interrupted, and his words looked extremely confident.

Lei Biao was stunned when he heard this, and wanted to answer, but when he saw Cao Qin's firm expression change, a trace of hesitation appeared between his eyebrows, and he muttered to himself: "It should be...... Their purpose is to get the storm map, not to hold my son hostage, and I shouldn't give up easily......"

"Strange thing. Lei Biao looked at this mountain forest left and right, and wondered, "I obviously sent someone to the Jade Dragon Palace to ask for help yesterday, why didn't I see our people appear for a long time? Doesn't the palace master plan to help us?"

"Not really. Cao Qin shook his head and said, "Even if the palace master doesn't look at my face, he will look at the face of the stormy rain map, and he will definitely not sit idly by." ”

"Daddy!"

Suddenly, there was a cry full of panic from the depths of the mountain forest, Cao Qin was shocked when he heard it, and his solemn expression became a little panicked.

"It's Childe!"

Lei Biao shouted, and couldn't wait for Cao Qin's order, so he rushed over.

"Rui'er!" Cao Qin, who was surprised and delighted, followed closely behind, and kept shouting his son's milk name.

"Stop!"

Just when Cao Qin led people to a place about five or six zhang away from Cao Rui, a cold drink suddenly sounded from the forest, and then dozens of swordsmen rushed out from all directions, surrounding Cao Qin and the others.

Several Western Regions giants led by them flashed out from behind the tree with a sneer, and one of them was still holding a hemp rope in his hand, and the other end of the hemp rope was Cao Rui, who was hanging high in the air.

At this moment, Cao Rui's left sleeve had been dyed crimson with blood, and the cuff was empty, and what was missing was the severed hand that was sent to the Jade Tiger Hall.

"If you dare to take a step forward, I will kill him!" The man from the Western Regions led by volleyed at Cao Rui, who was pale, and said in a cold voice, "What about the picture?"

Now that Cao Rui's life is still in the hands of the thief, even if Cao Qin is anxious, he does not dare to act rashly, he waved his hand and motioned for the disciples of the Jade Tiger Hall to take two steps back, and then looked back and forth in the crowd a few times, and asked in a condensed voice: "What about your master, why didn't that woman come?"

"Your son's life is now being held by Lao Tzu, you just have to change people, you don't have to talk so much nonsense!"

"What the fuck, what are you, dare to talk to our hall master like this?" Lei Biao was furious, holding a skull knife and scolding, "There is a kind of ...... that you let my son-in-law go, and we will show the of the sword."

Before Lei Biao finished speaking, the man from the Western Regions holding the hemp rope suddenly loosened his fingers, accompanied by a scream like killing a pig, but seeing Cao Rui's body fall down quickly, he suddenly tightened after dropping three feet. Although it was just a false alarm, it still frightened Cao Qin's face pale, and the blood on his body instantly cooled half.

Cao Rui was even more uninhibited, and his crotch was hot, and he was so frightened that he peed his pants.

"It is said that Lao Tzu is a hero, and your son is ......" The man from the Western Regions led by him mocked unceremoniously, "Or do you say that you, who are Lao Tzu, are actually a coward in your bones?"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding swordsmen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Slap his mouth!" The man from the Western Regions looked fierce, pointed at Lei Biao and ordered Cao Qin, "His stinky mouth almost killed your son just now." ”

Su He couldn't bear to see these thieves deceive people too much, so he said loudly: "If you want to figure it, you want to make it, why humiliate Hall Master Cao?"

The man of the Western Regions didn't pay attention to Su He, still staring at Cao Qin with a dark smile, and said faintly: "After beating him, I will redeem him!"

"This ......"

"Smack!"

Before Su He could speak again, Cao Qin stared at the man from the Western Regions, and suddenly shot out without warning and slapped Lei Biao hard. Although Lei Biao was annoyed in his heart, he didn't speak again, just glared at the man in the Western Regions viciously, turning his anger into monstrous killing intent.

"Hall Master Cao, you finally understand the rules. The man from the Western Regions laughed and said, "I know who is in charge now." ”

"Less nonsense!" Cao Qin said coldly, "Release people!"

The man from the Western Regions was not angry, but he stretched out his hand towards Cao Qin unhurriedly and said, "What do I want?"

"You let my son go first!"

"Hall Master Cao, I don't want to repeat the same words twice. The hand of the man from the Western Regions raised slightly towards Cao Qin, and the meaning was self-evident.

The muscles on Cao Qin's face trembled slightly, and after a moment of stalemate, he reluctantly took a black bamboo tube from the hands of the disciples of the Jade Tiger Hall, handed it to the man of the Western Regions, and said, "The picture is for you, let my son go!"

"Well said!" The man from the Western Regions took the black bamboo tube and handed it to his accomplices behind him. The accomplice took out the storm map from the bamboo tube, looked at it carefully, and then nodded slightly.

"If you dare to accept the picture and not let it go, I guarantee that you won't be able to get out of the leaf forest. Cao Qin said impatiently.

"Since Cao Tang is the master of his word and has faith, then I will naturally speak and count. The man from the Western Regions who was led by him smiled at Cao Qin and said, "But you have to let your subordinates throw away their blades first, otherwise how can my brother leave with peace of mind?" ”

"What should you do if you throw away your weapon and suddenly get into trouble?" Cao Qin asked rhetorically.

"You brought almost twice as many people as me, are you still afraid that I will be in trouble?" the man from the Western Regions sneered, "I have already got what I want, there is no need to make trouble for myself again." If you don't let your subordinates throw away their blades, that's fine, I'm afraid I'll have to wronged Cao Gongzi a little more and let him leave with us......"

"Impossible!" Cao Qin snapped, "I'll let people put down their blades." ”

After that, Cao Qin turned around and glanced at Lei Biao and the others, at this moment Lei Biao's eyes couldn't help but bleed, but even so, he still reluctantly threw the skeleton knife in his hand to the ground.

With Lei Biao taking the lead, more than a hundred Jade Tiger Hall disciples also threw down the swords in their hands. The man of the Western Regions ordered his men to quickly gather the blades on the ground and scatter them into the distance.

"Can you release people this time?" Cao Qin's patience was almost worn out, and his tone became extremely stiff.

"It's okay!" The man from the Western Regions nodded with satisfaction, and then shouted loudly in Khitan language, "Brothers, let's go!" Before the words fell, the man holding the rope suddenly let go, and with Cao Rui's scream, the group of people from the Western Regions had quickly withdrawn into the distance.

"Riel!"

Cao Qin reacted very quickly, and at the moment when Cao Rui fell, he had already flown out, catching Cao Rui before he landed. After landing safely, Cao Rui couldn't suppress the fear in his heart and plunged into Cao Qin's arms, Cao Qin looked at his son's severed hand, his face was sad and hateful, and the father and son suddenly hugged their heads and cried, crying silently.

"Hall Master......" Lei Biao walked forward quickly, his eyes full of eagerness.

Cao Qin quickly raised his head, and a pair of eyes that had been blurred by tears suddenly erupted with a cold and piercing killing intent, and he gritted his teeth and spit out a word: "Kill!"

Hearing this, Lei Biao's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he quickly reached out and pulled out a short sword from the back collar, pointed at the back of the group of people from the Western Regions, and shouted: "Avenge the son, and shame for the Jade Tiger Hall!" The hall master has an order, kill them all, and leave no one behind!"

"Kill!"

A shocking roar instantly erupted in the Ye Zi Forest, and then I saw that these Jade Tiger Hall disciples who had already thrown away their blades actually pulled out their hidden swords from behind their backs one after another, like a pack of wolves pounced, like a huge wave rushing, roaring and rushing towards the group of frightened people from the Western Regions.

In the blink of an eye, this group of Jade Tiger Hall disciples who had been humiliated and couldn't bear it anymore were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and the group of people from the Western Regions who were caught off guard by direct killing fled in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, they were already unable to form an army.

The absolute superiority in numbers, coupled with the ferocious momentum, forced the group of Western Regions swordsmen to reach the end of the road in an instant.

The so-called mourning soldiers will win, and the swordsmen of the Western Regions who gradually reacted were also killed, on the one hand, there was a strict order to kill, and on the other hand, there was a desperate way to die without a fight, both sides held the belief that either you die or I die, and the grudge that has been silent for several days completely broke out at this moment, and the beautiful Ye Zilin instantly became a purgatory on earth.

"Quack!quack!"

The shrill cries of the crows resounded again in the forest, mixed with desperate wails and angry roars, and today's leaf forest was destined to be strewn with corpses and rivers of blood.
