In the early morning of the next day, Cao Qin, who had had been sleepless all night, sat in the hall uncomfortably, staring at Lei Biao who hurried from the courtyard.

"Hallmaster, I ......"

"What about people?" Before Lei Biao, who entered the main hall, bowed and saluted, Cao Qin couldn't wait to ask, "Can you go to Luohan Temple to save your son?"

Lei Biao was ashamed and failed the trust of the hall master. Lei Biao knelt on the ground with a look of annoyance, looking at his dusty appearance, as if he had been exhausted from tossing and turning this night.

"What?" Although Cao Qin had expected it, when he heard Lei Biao admit it himself, his face still became a little ugly, and he asked in a low voice exhausted, "Have you searched the Luohan Temple carefully?"

Lei Biao took out a jade pendant from his arms and said: "Hall master, we found the room where Gongzi was held hostage in the temple, and we also found Gongzi's jade pendant there. Merely...... We went a step late, and when we arrived at the Luohan Temple, the gang of thieves and Gongzi were gone. ”

Cao Qin took the jade pendant, with a touch of sadness in his eyes, and said faintly: "I have long expected that the three caves of the cunning rabbit, you will definitely fall into the air when you go, sure enough......"

"Hall Master. Lei Biao suddenly had a fierce look in his eyes, and said viciously, "If you want to blame that Su He for this matter, if he didn't think he would die and wouldn't save him, how could he easily let that gang of thieves leave with his martial arts?"

Cao Qin's face turned cold, and he reprimanded: "I don't want to hear these words from your mouth again. Su He only helped us and didn't owe us, so we had no right to order him to do anything. If he can find the Luohan Temple, he is already kind to me. How can we blame him? If we want to say wrong, there is only one person who is at fault, and that is Liu Xunyi, if he hadn't scared the snake, how could that gang of thieves escape from my net?"

"Hall Master, do you want me to go to the Long'an Inn and arrest the one surnamed Liu......

"That's it. Cao Qin shook his head tiredly and said, "It's messy enough right now, I don't want to make any more trouble." As for this, Cao Qin suddenly remembered something, and said, "The dragon king who secretly colluded with the thief ......"

"I ran away, too. Lei Biao said angrily, "I led people to search all the places where he might appear last night, but I found nothing. Presumably he has fled Huodu, and eighty percent wants to avoid the limelight for a while. I don't care when he returns, I'm going to tear him to pieces. ”

"The exposure of the identity of the dragon king is a miscalculation on their part. Cao Qin muttered to himself, "They thought they were completely sure that they could kill Liu Xunyi last night, but they didn't expect that Su He would be a big deal halfway." It seems that the phrase 'man is not as good as heaven' is equally useful in front of anyone. ”

"Hall Master, what is the origin of that person surnamed Liu?" Lei Biao asked, "Last night he dared to break into the Jade Tiger Hall, it seems that he has a great relationship with that woman surnamed Bai......

"He's here to make the storm. Cao Qin sneered, "I saw Liu Xunyi when I was in Jiangnan Lu Mansion, he is from Xian Wang's Mansion. came all the way to Huodu, presumably on Luo Tianjin's orders. ”

"Could it be...... Did he see through the identity of the hall master?"

"There are no impermeable walls. Cao Qin said, "Whether he has recognized my identity is unknown, but he must know that the Storm and Rain Map is coming to Huodu, otherwise he will never chase after him." And that hoarfrost...... When I saw her in the Lu Mansion in Jiangnan, she was clearly standing behind Lu Tingxiang, how could she have anything to do with this surnamed Liu? She also made a name for a brother and sister, which must be strange. ”

"Maybe it was Baishuang who concealed Lu Tingxiang's illicit relationship with Liu Xunyi. Lei Biao sneered, "This kind of woman is debauched and uninhibited, specializing in seducing womanizers, and she knows that it is not a good thing at a glance......" Lei Biao suddenly realized that he had lost his words before he finished speaking, if Baishuang specializes in seducing womanizers, then why did Cao Qin arrest her?

Seeing that Cao Qin's face was not good, Lei Biao hurriedly changed his words and said, "Hall Master, what are you going to do with this woman......?"

"As soon as the words came out, it was difficult to recover. Cao Qin snorted coldly, "Yesterday I personally admitted in front of Su He that Baishuang was here to celebrate her birthday, if I didn't take her up to Tianshan Mountain, Su He would definitely not give up." Although Su He's martial arts are unfathomable, he is a dead brain, and he doesn't know how to change things, last night he promised Liu Xunyi to take care of the white frost, and sure enough, he has been secretly guarding the white frost, and even the people who deliver the food are not allowed to approach easily, which is really troublesome. ”

"The master of the hall means ......"

"Hmph, it's just a pretty beautiful woman, don't want it. Cao Qin said grimly, "But even if I can't get it, I will never let the surnamed Liu get his wish." I want to dedicate the white frost to the palace master and help him practice the art of collecting yin and replenishing yang. ”

"The hall master is clever!" Lei Biao echoed, "Bai Shuang is indeed extraordinary, if the hall master dedicates him to the palace master, the palace master will definitely reward you heavily." Maybe the throne of the Three Banners will have a hall master, haha......"

The "Three Banners" mentioned by Lei Biao refers to the position of the three banner masters in the "Three Banners and Twelve Halls" of the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace, and the status of the three flag masters is second only to the palace master and higher than the twelve hall masters.

"In any case, the first priority is to save my son from the thieves. Cao Qin waved his hand and said, "I am determined to have a good talk with that woman, you send someone to the Longxiang Inn......"

"Report!"

Suddenly, a hurried sound interrupted Cao Qin's words. Then I saw a disciple of the Jade Tiger Hall, holding a delicately carved red wooden box in both hands, walked into the hall quickly, knelt down and said, "Hall Master, someone just sent this box, saying that it was a thin gift for the Hall Master." ”

"Bo Li?" Cao Qin frowned, glanced at Lei Biao suspiciously, and speculated, "Tomorrow is the Jade Dragon Festival, if you want to give a gift, you should also send it to Tianshan, who will give me a gift for no reason?"

Before Cao Qin's words fell, Lei Biao had already stepped forward quickly, and while reaching out to open the wooden box, he asked casually, "What about the person who gave the gift?"

"Gone......"

"Bang!"

Without waiting for the voice of the disciple to fall, Lei Biao, who had just opened the wooden box, suddenly closed the wooden box again. At this moment, his eyes were like ice, his face was like ashes, and even his lips were trembling slightly.

"What is it?" Cao Qin, who didn't know why, looked at Lei Biao's motionless back and asked puzzledly.

"Who sent it?" Lei Biao did not answer Cao Qin's words, but asked the disciple in a heavy tone.

"A ...... with a raw face"

"What the hell is going on?" Cao Qin asked in a loud voice, as if realizing that something was not quite right?"

Lei Biao couldn't avoid it, slowly took the wooden box with trembling hands, turned around with a bitter face, and looked at Cao Qin with an embarrassed expression, the ugly appearance that seemed to be crying but not crying, and looking like a smile was very weird. He didn't say a word for a long time, just stood in the hall in a daze with a wooden box.

"What's in the box?" Cao Qin raised his eyebrows, becoming more and more curious, "Bring it to me and take a look." ”

"The hall master...... This ......" Lei Biao's body shook twice, but he didn't take a step under his feet, and said with an embarrassed face, "Actually, it's ...... This ......"

Gradually realizing that something was wrong, the curiosity on Cao Qin's face gradually put away, he rushed to Lei Biao in two steps, and Lei Biao, who was frightened, shook his body, stood unsteadily and almost fell to the ground.

Cao Qinhu glanced at Lei Biao suspiciously, then reached out to hold the lock of the wooden box, and gently lifted it upward, and a thick smell of blood escaped in an instant. When Cao Qin quickly opened the wooden box completely, a severed hand that was still bleeding appeared in front of his eyes.

It was a left hand with a jade ring on its little finger.

Cao Qin recognized this ring as a birthday gift he gave to his precious son last year.

In other words, the severed hand was cut off from Cao Qin's son's body. Cao Qin didn't need to ask to think of who gave this "thin gift".

"Those bastards are too deceitful!" Lei Biao said angrily, "Hall Master, I'll take someone to the Longxiang Inn, arrest the man and the woman, and let you dispose of them." After that, Lei Biao was about to turn around and leave, but Cao Qin suddenly stretched out his hand to hold him, and when Lei Biao stared at Cao Qin with a pair of resentful tiger eyes, he saw that Cao Qin was already in tears.

"Hall Master, ...... you are"

"You don't have to go...... Cao Qin sighed weakly, "This is the punishment they gave me, punishing me for privately finding Su He to follow them." These thieves were even more ruthless than I thought, and I thought they were just threatening me, and I didn't dare to do anything...... But I didn't expect ......" Cao Qin pointed to the severed hand in the wooden box, and couldn't choke three times in a row.

Lei Biao shouted angrily, but he was helpless.

"Can't go. Cao Qin shook his head with a depressed expression and said, "If I go again, I'm afraid that my son's life will not be guaranteed...... These people dare to do anything, and now I can't help but believe it......"

"Then get that woman back and force them to change one by one. Lei Biao proposed.

Cao Qin waved his hand and said: "It's useless, if they dare to do this, they are already ready to come and go, this gamble is about the only incense of my Cao family, I can't bet, and I can't afford to gamble...... That woman has already seen through me......"

"Then ......" Lei Biao wanted to speak and stopped, turned around and blasted the disciple out of the report, and then stepped forward and whispered to Cao Qin, "Then why don't we hand over the storm and rain map to them, now everything is not as important as changing back to Gongzi." ”

"Leave it to them, how can I explain to the palace master tomorrow?" Cao Qin had already lost the six gods, and said to himself in a panic, "But if I don't hand it over, my son will definitely die......

"Then give them the picture!" Lei Biao said briskly, "It's a big deal to grab it back." ”

"To them?" Cao Qin looked at Lei Biao hesitantly, as if he had wavered.

"Give!" Lei Biao encouraged, "They can't take the map with them, and Ding Sanye will never let them leave Huodu easily." ”

As soon as Lei Biao said this, Cao Qin's eyes changed suddenly, and he asked urgently, "What did you just say?"

"I said Ding San ......"

Before Lei Biao could finish speaking, Cao Qin suddenly interrupted with a wave of his hand and said in a low voice, "How do you know that he is in Huodu?"

Lei Biao explained with a blank face: "I saw it at the Long'an Inn the day before yesterday. ”

"Did he really come to Huodu?" Cao Qin's face became extremely solemn, and his brows were tightly knit and he asked repeatedly, "Do you see clearly?"

Lei Biao nodded firmly, and said, "It's true! When I saw him, he was sitting and drinking with that Liu Xunyi. ”

"Shhh

Cao Qin took a deep breath, and after pondering for a long time, he looked fixed, and then turned to Lei Biao and instructed: "The Wind and Rain Map must not be handed over. You immediately send someone to Tianshan Mountain, explain the situation to the palace master, and ask the palace master to arrange a master, and at the beginning of tomorrow, ambush in Yezilin, that is the only way to go to the Jade Dragon Palace, tomorrow I will take the stormy rain map in Yezilin to trade with the thief face-to-face. After rescuing my son, I will kill those thieves on the spot!"

Lei Biao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "The hall master wants to set a trap to lure them into the game? Wouldn't it be too risky to do so? If something goes wrong, the son is only afraid that his life will be in danger." Didn't the hall master just say that you can't gamble on this gamble, and you can't afford to gamble? Why is it suddenly ...... now?"

"What do you know?" Cao Qin said coldly, "It's no coincidence that Ding San appeared in Huodu, he didn't come for Liu Xunyi, but for me, or for the stormy map." If I make the slightest move, I'm afraid that before I can snatch the picture back from the thief, I will already die without a place to bury. ”

Lei Biao's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he nodded again and again: "I'll do it now, while sending someone to Tianshan Mountain to report the matter to the palace master, and ask his old man to arrange for the master to set up an ambush in Yezilin tomorrow." At the same time, he sent someone to the Longxiang Inn, informed the gang of thieves, and told them that he would redeem his son in front of Ye Zilin at the beginning of tomorrow. ”

After that, Lei Biao did not leave immediately, but waited thoughtfully for a moment, seeing that Cao Qin was reluctant to open his mouth, he couldn't help but remind in a low voice: "Hall Master, that woman is not a fool, if we tell her so, she will definitely be able to guess that there is a fraud in it, in case she doesn't go to Ye Zilin tomorrow, wouldn't that son be ......"

"Now, I have no choice!" Cao Qin's eyes flickered, and he said faintly, "I just hope that this gang of thieves is like me, desperate and has no way to retreat......

......
