Not long after, two men came in the ancient painting shop in the city.

One person looked middle-aged and had an extraordinary momentum, while the other was young, personable, and dressed in the uniform of a disciple of the Nine Heavens Sect. It was this disciple's uniform that made the shopkeeper feel uneasy.

The comers were naturally Long Xiong and Zhang Tai, who followed.

"I wonder which calligraphy and painting you two like?" said the shopkeeper with a smile himself, like a businessman.

Ryuxiong looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Is your shop so big?

The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, then pretended to be calm, and said: "This guest officer said that he was laughing, you have also seen it, this store is just so big, how can there be other places." ”

When Long Xiong heard this, he stopped talking nonsense, and directly grabbed the back of the shopkeeper with both hands, pressed him heavily on the counter, and said, "Tell me quickly, where are you hiding people?"

The sudden scene also alarmed the other people in the store, but they were quickly controlled by Zhang Tai.

The shopkeeper looked innocent and said, "This uncle, I am a businessman, I don't know what you are talking about." ”

Long Xiong saw that the other party's oil and salt did not enter, so he let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Do you think that if you don't say anything, I will have no choice? After I find it, you will wait to die!"

After saying that, Long Xiong looked around, sniffed with his nose, seemed to feel something, his eyes lit up, and he walked towards a wall, and finally locked his eyes on a calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall.

At this time, the shopkeeper on the side looked nervous, and a faint sweat oozed from his forehead.

Long Xiong removed the calligraphy and painting, and saw a plum-shaped mechanism, and with a slight twist, the entire wall turned around, revealing a dark and dull secret room.

Ryuo looked back at the shopkeeper, who was already slumped on the ground. After making eye contact with Zhang Tai, they escorted the shopkeeper and others into the secret room.

Inside the secret room, at this time, Ma Fangyu looked around, there were solid walls on all sides, and they couldn't be forcibly opened at all, so they could only hope that they could find it.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Ma Fangyu was overjoyed, and slapped the wall again and again, making a "pop" sound to attract the attention of the outside.

The people outside were naturally Long Xiong, Zhang Tai and others, and when they heard the movement, they naturally guessed something, so they walked over.

When he came to a wall, Zhang Tai said loudly, "Senior Brother Ma, is that you?"

When Ma Fangyu heard this, he hurriedly responded: "It's me! It's me! You guys are coming faster than I thought." ”

After confirming his identity, Zhang Tai hurriedly tried to open the wall, but failed, thinking that there must be a secret door. He locked on the shopkeeper with a malicious gaze, and then locked the shopkeeper's throat with one hand, and said, "If you want to live, open the secret door quickly!"

The shopkeeper had no cultivation, and was frightened by Zhang Tai's actions, and nodded again and again: "As long as you don't kill me, everything is easy to say." ”

Zhang Tai nodded, then let go of his hand, and said, "I promise not to kill you, you will open the secret door now, but I can warn you in advance, if you dare to play any tricks, I will make your life worse than death." ”

The shopkeeper coughed a few times, relieved himself, and then nervously came to the wall, groped for a while, and then knocked nine times in succession in a certain place, three times faster, three times slow, and three times faster.

Suddenly, the wall moved, revealing a small dark room, and Ma Fangyu walked out of it with a solemn face.

Seeing that Ma Fangyu was safe and sound, the hearts of the two finally relaxed.

"Senior Brother Ma, your trick of taking risks and drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle is not bad!" Zhang Tai did not hesitate to praise.

Even the city lord Long Xiong admired Ma Fangyu.

Ma Fangyu said: "It all depends on you cooperating with me to put on a good show, so I can hide from Long Ji's eyes, and then find the strange fragrance on my body all the way to here." As he spoke, Ma Fangyu took out a sachet from his sleeve and handed it to Long Xiong.

Long Xiong took the sachet and said: "This strange fragrance is called 'Tianya Youxiang', which is my family heirloom, and it was originally used for tracking, and only people from my direct family can identify it, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time." ”

After a short exchange, Ma Fangyu's eyes fell on the shopkeeper, and he said in a straight voice: "Who are you?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at Ma Fangyu's unkind face, and knew that he had become fish and meat in the hands of others, so he had to give it all out and said, "We are from the Tianyi Sect." ”

Tianyi Sect Ma Fangyu and Zhang Tai's complexions all changed, they were the most powerful forces in the evil sect, but they didn't expect to encounter them at this time. Long Xiong looked not surprised, as if he had already guessed his identity, what he didn't expect was that Long Ji, who was a member of the Dragon Clan, actually secretly colluded with the Tianyi Sect.

"How exactly did you carry out the siege of my Jiuxiao station, and what is the current situation?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this matter, I'm just a small person in charge of liaison with the Tianyi Sect, in order to better cover up, I don't even have any cultivation, they won't tell me about such an important implementation plan." All I know is that they went there last night and haven't returned, so I don't know what happened. ”

Ma Fangyu's deep eyes looked at the shopkeeper and found that he didn't look like a liar. And after Zhang Tai heard the news, his expression became nervous, and he didn't know what happened to the Jiuxiao station. Even Long Xiong was surprised, and when he looked at everything together, he found that this was a shocking conspiracy between Long Ji and the Tianyi Sect, the purpose of which was not only to seize the position of the city lord, but also to clear the stronghold of the Jiuxiao Sect here in one fell swoop.

After a moment of silence, Ma Fangyu asked again, "Last question, where is the child brought by Long Ji?"

The shopkeeper replied, "He's locked up in another secret room just like you. ”

Hearing this, Ma Fangyu's expression softened slightly, although it was a tentative question, fortunately, there was finally news of the son of the white fox. As for the matter of children, Zhang Tai and Long Xiong were confused.

"You hurry up and let him out!" Ma Fangyu said.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to hesitate, so he led Ma Fangyu and the others to another place, opened the door of the secret room as before, and saw a child about six years old curled up in a ball, looking at them timidly.

Ma Fangyu walked in and said, "I'm here to pick you up, are you willing to come with me?"

Seeing Ma Fangyu's friendly appearance, the child stood up and said, "Brother, did my mother call you over?"

Ma Fangyu nodded, picked up the child and walked out, without explaining to others, and walked straight outside.

Walking out of the secret room and returning to the antique painting shop, Ma Fangyu put the child down. When Long Xiong came out, Ma Fangyu stepped forward and said, "City Lord, I also learned that Long Yu has planted a lot of his own henchmen around you, you have to be careful." ”

When Long Xiong heard this, his expression did not change much, and said: "Thank you for reminding me, I naturally know who it is, and I will definitely settle the account after I go back." ”

Ma Fangyu nodded, thinking that this city lord was not all useless. Then he said: "There is something right now, and I hope the city lord can help." ”

Before Ma Fangyu could say it, Long Xiong already knew in his heart, so he said: "Needless to say, about the Jiuxiao faction, my dragon clan will naturally not sit idly by, I will immediately go back and gather my subordinates to go to the Jiuxiao station to help you." ”

Ma Fangyu and Zhang Tai both bowed deeply and said in unison, "Thank you, City Lord!"

Long Xiong helped the two of them up and said, "No need to thank you, we have formed an alliance with the Nine Heavens Sect, and it is reasonable to help you." Besides, things can go so smoothly, all thanks to the help of the two of you, I, Long Xiong, owe you a favor. ”

When the matter was agreed, everyone was no longer polite.

Ma Fangyu took the child's little hand and came to Long Xiong, and said, "Please take care of him one or two, and when I send something, I will come to pick him up." ”

Long Xiong looked at the child in front of him, his expression was complicated, there was an indescribable sense of familiarity, and the aura on his body, like a human but not a human, like a demon but not a demon. Then, he seemed to think of something, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and finally he nodded, picked up the child, and said, "Brother Ma, don't worry, I will take good care of him and don't let him lose a hair." ”

Ma Fangyu finally relieved, and after calming the child a little, he and Zhang Tai exchanged glances, and disappeared into two streamers of light.

Long Xiong glanced back at the secret room, at this time, several people of the Tianyi Sect were all locked in the dark room inside, and they only needed to go back by themselves and send someone to take over here, which could be regarded as the end of the Tianyi Sect's lair.

This matter will definitely be a great success, and if it is reported to the imperial court, it will also make Longxin happy, and maybe he can get a good reward.

Thinking of this, Long Xiong sighed a little, the world is unpredictable, he almost lost his life, but fortunately, the ending is good. It seems that it is better to stay away from wealth in the future, after all, there is a knife on the head of color, which is a bloody lesson.

After packing up his mood, Long Xiong glanced at the child and said to himself: "Just repay your life-saving grace!"

In the sky, two figures galloped side by side, it was Ma Fangyu and Zhang Tai who were walking with the sword.

Zhang Tai suddenly turned his head and asked, "Senior Brother Ma, is that child the son of Bai Keren?" After all, Zhang Tai had heard about the conversation at the Hongchen Inn at the beginning, and naturally knew about Bai Keren's child being kidnapped by Long Ji.

Ma Fangyu knew that he couldn't hide it, and he didn't want to hide it, so he nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Zhang Tai sighed: "You are so confused, Bai Keren is a fox demon, her son is naturally also a demon, you let the people of the dragon clan take care of a demon, if this matter is known by the door, you will be punished!"

Ma Fangyu said: "I don't care if the demon is evil or not, I only know that the child is innocent." From the time the city lord promised me to take care of him, I knew that he also agreed with me, and I am afraid that deep down he also had a trace of gratitude to Bai Keren, so he would do this. ”

"Do you mean that the city lord also knows the identity of the child?" Zhang Tai said with some surprise.

Ma Fangyu nodded and said, "I think so, you can see that his cultivation is higher than ours, so naturally you can also see it, don't forget the incident of the Hongchen Inn that day, we also told him everything." ”

Zhang Tai was relieved, and he was still a little worried in his heart, but seeing that he had already made up his mind, it was not good to continue to ask, so it was imperative to hurry to the Jiuxiao station.

So, the two stopped talking and continued to move forward at their maximum speed.
