Everyone waited for a long time, but no one from the government came, no wonder, this remote town, dozens of miles away from the county office, was afraid that the innkeeper who went to report to the official could not reach the county office until this moment.

Wang Qianyue didn't want to deal with those people anymore, because she herself was also confused and suffered from flying disasters, and suffered heavy losses, and she was actually in turmoil for a long time.

But as the backbone of the group, Wang Tianyue couldn't show too much panic and cowardice, so she could only calm down and deal with the aftermath in an orderly manner.

She first asked the corpses of the family members buried in the rubble to be dug up, and then ordered the corpses of the black-robed people to be dug up and examined one by one, hoping to find some clues from them.

It's just that all the black-robed people didn't carry any foreign objects on their bodies, and there was no trace of them at all.

The woman in green clothes named Qing Yi, who had been standing beside Wang Qianyue, took a torch, walked to the row of black-robed corpses, and squatted down to carefully examine them one by one. I just watched it for a long time, but I didn't see where these people came from.

Qing Yi frowned, picked up a long knife used by a black-robed man on the ground, and after observing it, he suddenly used the tip of the knife to open the mouth of a black-robed man, and brought the torch closer, only to see that the man's mouth contained a pill.

Qing Yi's wrist moved slightly, and he picked out the soybean-sized pill with the tip of the knife, and then split it with a knife, overflowing with a lot of black powder inside, instantly invading a large area of land, it must be highly poisonous.

From this point of view, these black-robed people must be killers in the rivers and lakes, and their martial arts have reached the Tongxuan realm in the three realms of Zhongtian, and they can be regarded as first-class killers, and the strength of their back organization can be imagined.

Qing walked up to Wang Qianyue and told her what she had discovered, Wang Qianyue thought about it for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion.

"In this way, these people are not necessarily coming for our royal caravan, they must be in the inn at first, there are people they want to kill, and we are all suffering from the pond fish, for the sake of safety, it is better to leave as soon as possible. ”

After Wang Tianyue finished speaking, he instructed everyone to place the bodies of the dead family members and the disciples who died in the battle of the Golden Handle Daozhuang into a carriage, turn around and find a secluded place to cremate, and then bring the ashes back.

Fortunately, the restaurant collapsed forward, and the carriage parked in the backyard was not affected too much.

After Hu Guangnan's injuries stabilized, the group stopped staying and left in a hurry with a heavy heart.

Qing Yi, who was holding a white jade sword, did not continue to sit in the carriage, she rode a white horse, and together with Ye Xiu, she guarded both sides of Wang Tianyue's carriage.

The reason why this woman in Tsing Yi, who is full of martial arts, did not make a move all night was because she had been protecting Miss Wang all the time.

From the beginning, she silently watched the fight in the hall of the restaurant, as well as the two black-robed people who did not enter the inn and left halfway.

Of course, the conversation between the two was as thin as a mosquito's voice, and Qingyi didn't hear it.

But Qing Yi knew that if those black-robed people were coming at them, they couldn't hide, after all, the enemy was dark and I was clear, so I could only take one step at a time, and if it wasn't coming at them, then leaving was undoubtedly the best choice.

So Wang Tianyue wanted to rush overnight, and she agreed very much.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the night is as cool as water.

A group of people and horses walked on the secluded path, all silent, only in the deep mountains in the distance, from time to time there were a few birds and beasts crying at night.

Qin Xuan, who had been following the middle of the team, came to Qingyi's side with a horse, and with his current eyesight, he could naturally see that this female swordsman had outstanding martial arts skills, and she must not be under him.

Qin Xuan asked, "Are we leaving like this?"

Qingyi glanced at Qin Xuan, and said in an indifferent tone: "We don't know the origin of those killers, and we don't know who they are aiming for, so are we still waiting there? ”

Qin Xuan thought about it and felt that it seemed to make some sense, so he didn't ask any more, but Qing Yi suddenly said in a cold voice, "Those killers shouldn't be here to kill you, right?"

Qin Xuan looked stunned, "How could it be, I haven't offended anyone, besides, if they come to kill me, then when I was alone before, why didn't they do it?

Qingyi pursed her lips, she just said it casually, and she didn't really doubt the guy in front of her. Moreover, when Qin Xuan was about to collapse in the restaurant, he sacrificed his life and forgot to die to save the girl he didn't know, which made Qing Yi secretly admire in his heart.

However, there is another thing that makes Qing Yi very puzzled, that is, the eccentric man who saved more than ten people in the restaurant, since he can turn the tide at the last moment and stop the momentum of the restaurant toppling, why not go directly to save the woman on the ground?

Qing Yi saw it clearly, with that person's body and speed, it was not difficult to save people before the restaurant fell to the ground, but why did he sacrifice his roots and would rather spend a lot of effort to prevent the restaurant from falling?

Another point is that the strange man didn't even hurt more than a dozen people when he threw more than a dozen people downstairs, why did he have an accident when he got to the last person? Was it intentional?

Thinking of this, Qing Yi couldn't help but glance at Qin Xuan again.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded.

"We, the Golden Handle Knife Village, have been escorting the royal caravan to the north and south for several years, and nothing like this has ever happened today. Besides, when we came, we brought more goods than now, and they were more valuable, but we didn't encounter any danger, but after you mixed into the caravan, you encountered today's tragedy, and your surname Qin must not be able to get rid of this matter. ”

The person who spoke was Ye Xiu, who had been following Wang Tianyue's carriage all the time, and he naturally said this to Qin Xuan.

The convoy immediately stopped, and everyone's eyes looked at Qin Xuan in unison.

Most people thought in their hearts, yes, this person is young, he has a body of martial arts, and he will definitely not be an ordinary person, maybe it is the disaster he brought to the caravan.

Ye Xiu looked around and continued to sneer: "If I'm not mistaken, when you first entered the caravan, you were injured internally, right? Hehe, maybe you were chased and killed by some people and had no way out, so you mixed into our team, wanting to borrow the hands of my master and apprentice to help you resist the disaster!

These words were loud and reasonable, so when many people looked at Qin Xuan, their eyes became extremely unkind.

In particular, the disciples of the Golden Handle Dao Zhuang all felt that what the senior brother said was very reasonable, and many people's right hands had already subconsciously held the handle of the knife, and they only waited for the senior brother to give an order, and then they dismantled this guy who had injured their master in eight pieces.

For a while, the atmosphere became tense and very solemn.

Qing Yi didn't expect that her unintentional words would become the fuse for Ye Xiu to use the topic, but she didn't speak, because she also felt that what Ye Xiu said seemed to have some truth.

Qin Xuan sat on horseback, staring at Ye Xiu, who was determined to bite him, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but he didn't explain, some things would only get darker and darker.

In a solemn atmosphere, a crisp and pleasant voice suddenly sounded.

"Don't think about it, no one thought of this time, and no one wants it to happen, it can only be said that we are unlucky.

What kind of person Qin Shaoxia is, after getting along these days, everyone must be clear;

first saved Wang Sanshi in the chaos, and then stepped forward at a critical moment and rescued a girl he didn't know.

If Qin Shaoxia is the kind of person who causes trouble and affects innocent people, I will never believe it. ”

Wang Tianyue was dressed in brocade white, and at some point, she was already standing on the wheel of the carriage, and her eyes swept over everyone.

"At the time of the incident, there were a large number of people in the restaurant, and those we did not know could be the initiators of the incident.

Moreover, with Qin Shaoxia's skills, he could have waited for the opportunity to withdraw and leave at that time, but he still chose to fight side by side with you. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Qianyue glanced at Ye Xiu, "Who is involved in whom, only God knows now, so don't speculate on it anymore." Besides, now that Uncle Hu is seriously injured, with Qin Shaoxia accompanying him, he will be a little more stable. ”

After Wang Tianyue finished speaking, Wang Sanshi, who had been saved by Qin Xuan, hurriedly shouted: "Yes, this matter must have nothing to do with Brother Qin!"

Subsequently, several family members also expressed their opinions, thinking that Qin Xuan could not be blamed for this incident.

However, the disciples of the Golden Handle Dao Zhuang were silent.

Hu Xuechu had been guarding the master in another carriage, but he didn't show up.

Ye Xiu, who was dressed in a brocade dress, was extremely angry when he heard the words and his eyes were tax-profitable, because he felt that Wang Tianyue's words clearly meant that those killers might also be coming for their golden-handled knife village.

Ye Xiu took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his anger, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He held the hilt of the knife in his hand, looked around, glanced at Wang Qianyue, and then arched his hand to Qin Xuan with a smile, "Brother Qin, I'm really embarrassed, what Miss Wang said makes sense, I was reckless just now, Master was injured, and I was in a mess for a while, so I was a little unscrupulous." Hehe, this matter, I think it really has nothing to do with Brother Qin, Ye has made amends to Brother Qin here, I hope Brother Qin will not be surprised. ”

Ye Xiu said very sincerely, but Wang Tianyue narrowed her eyes when she heard it, and said secretly: Okay, you Ye Xiu, you are really scheming, it seems that you admit your mistakes, but in fact, you are retreating as advance, the matter has come to this, if it is not chaotic, Qin Xuan has already become estranged from everyone, even if this matter has nothing to do with him, then it is not good for him to go with everyone anymore.

However, to Wang Qianyue's surprise, Qin Xuan did not leave, but in the next two days, he became much more silent.

Fortunately, in the past two days, there was no more turmoil, and everyone's originally tense heartstrings were finally relaxed a lot.

The group rushed during the day, and if they couldn't meet the town inn at night, they set up tents on the spot.

On the evening of the third day, the group passed by a deserted ancient temple and planned to rest here for the night.

Although the ancient temple is dilapidated, it saves a lot of trouble for everyone.

Wang Tianyue's personal maid Xin'er, without waiting for her own lady's instructions, jumped out of the carriage and commanded several family members to enter the temple and pack up.

The temple has three houses. In the center of the main hall, there is a Buddha statue with a mutilated face, and the gold paint falls off, revealing the mud tire inside. Because half of the Buddha's head is missing, I can't recognize which way the Bodhisattva is. Under the firelight, the remaining half of the Buddha's face looks gloomy and weird.

Fortunately, the people soon lit fires in the three temples, and twenty or thirty people sat on the ground around the three fires.

Wang Qianyue and her maidservant Xin'er, as well as her personal servant Hu Congqingyi, sat in the temple on the east side, and the disciples of the Golden Handle Daozhuang occupied the temple on the west side.

In front of the fire in the main hall, there are more than a dozen royal family members, and everyone is around the fire, baking their own food.

Qin Xuan held the wine bag in his hand, sat on the threshold of the temple, kept a slight distance from everyone, and looked at the gradually dim sky outside the temple alone.

A waning moon slowly rose, and a cold wind hit, and the coolness pierced my heart.

There are still more than two months to go before the New Year, and I hope that after I return to my hometown, Mu Tou has been released from prison safely.

Qin Xuan thought like this, and suddenly felt a little melancholy in his heart.

A baked steamed bun was handed to his eyes, Qin Xuan glanced sideways, and after reaching out to take the steamed bun, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang." ”

Wang Sanshi also smiled and didn't speak, just gently patted Qin Xuan's shoulder.

As soon as Qin Xuan ate a few bites of hot steamed buns, he heard an angry roar coming from the temple in the west, and it turned out to be Ye Xian who was angrily scolding Wang Laolang who was accompanying him.

"Quack, how did you treat my master's injuries, why did they not get better, but worse?"

Immediately afterwards, he scolded, and the gray-haired Dr. Wang trembled with fear, and his hands trembled to check the pulse of Hu Guangnan who was lying on the ground.

Ye Xiu on the side didn't seem to be angry, but he suddenly pulled out his waist knife and made a gesture to slash, so frightened that Lao Langzhong suddenly collapsed to the ground, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Hu Xuechu hurriedly grabbed Ye Xiu's arm and dissuaded him again and again, "Senior brother, what are you doing here?" Master's injury has deteriorated, let's just find a doctor again, what's the use of you killing him?"

Ye Xiu snorted coldly, broke free from the shackles of his junior brother, pointed a knife at Doctor Wang, whose body looked like chaff, and said angrily: "What is going on with my master, why is he vomiting blood and being unconscious? If you don't make it clear today, Lao Tzu will kill you with a knife." ”
