"Who?" Luan Yeqiu was a little annoyed, but she also knew that it was an extraordinary time, and if something happened outside, she still had to find out as soon as possible.

The person who knocked on the door did not speak, but only deliberately coughed a few times outside the door.

Luan Yeqiu stood up and walked to the door, opened the door and saw that it was Luan Shuiqing, who had been guarding the door, and she asked with a little dissatisfaction, "Is there something wrong?"

Luan Shuiqing said with a serious expression: "It's not early, Miss, you should go back to your house." ”

As a father, especially a father like him who has not been able to recognize his daughter for many years, but watching his baby daughter run to another man's room and whisper behind closed doors, Luan Shuiqing naturally felt a little sour in his heart, and he didn't see his daughter come out after standing outside for a long time, and Luan Shuiqing, who was restless, had no choice but to bite the bullet to find fault.

"What did you say?" Luan Yeqiu thought he had misheard, "Uncle, you knocked on the door outside and called me out, just to tell me this?"

"As the highest-level guard in Luan Mansion, it is necessary for me to consider your safety, Miss. Luan Shuiqing thought about it and felt that this reason was not enough, so he added: "It is also necessary to protect Miss's reputation." After speaking, he reached out and grabbed Luan Yeqiu's sleeve to pull her out of the house.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Luan Yeqiu shouted loudly as he struggled, "Where are you going to take me?"

It just so happened that the maids who were asked to avoid just now didn't go far, and when they heard Luan Yeqiu's voice, they rushed over and asked repeatedly, "What's wrong?"

Luan Shuiqing let go of his hand and said seriously: "Miss, you are still a girl who has not left the cabinet, so you are in the same room with a strange man and a widow, it is better for you to go back to your own room." ”

Luan Yeqiu was unconvinced: "They came to you to protect me, and they didn't want you to discipline me, who do you think you are, and what qualifications do you have to talk to me like this?"

"You!" Luan Shuiqing couldn't help but want to tell his identity, but when the words came to his lips, he looked around, but he still didn't say it.

Those maids didn't know Luan Shuiqing, and when they heard what they said, they thought it was a hidden master invited by Luan Mansion to protect Miss, so they hurriedly came to persuade: "Miss, what this hero said is right, you are also the daughter of our Luan Mansion, you can't mess up the proportions, let's go back to the room with the slaves first." ”

Luan Yeqiu lost his temper, pushed the maid away, and said loudly: "This is my home, which room I want to stay in, who I want to talk to, that's my freedom, I don't need you people to dictate!"

At this moment, a cold arrow suddenly shot from the darkness of the outer wall, which was extremely fast, and pointed directly at Luan Yeqiu's front door.

Luan Shuiqing's body moved, and he grabbed the handle of the arrow less than three inches away from Luan Yeqiu.

The maid next to her only reacted after seeing what Luan Shuiqing was holding in her hand, and looked at the cold arrow, all of them screamed loudly in fright.

The arrows flashed with a strange green light, apparently quenched by the poison, and the assassins outside the wall saw that they missed the blow and did not like to fight, so they immediately fled over the wall. Luan Shuiqing was going to chase after him, but he suspected that the other party was diverting the tiger away from the mountain, so he endured it after thinking about it.

But Luan Yeqiu was already angry and had nowhere to spill it, and he was attacked by someone again at this time, so he was still calm, and immediately chased after him.

As soon as he saw her chasing out, Luan Shuiqing naturally had no choice but to follow.

This Assassin was very skillful, and very cunning, and he went to crowded places. Luan Yeqiu was always blocked by the crowd when he followed behind, and he looked very embarrassed, so he chased for a long distance, and when he saw that he was about to lose it, Luan Yeqiu was so angry that he wanted to use internal force to forcibly shake the pedestrians away. Luan Shuiqing saw that the situation was not right behind her, so he quickly grabbed her and shouted: "What are you doing?

"Don't worry about it!" Luan Yeqiu broke away, and at this time she just caught up with a street corner, and Luan Yeqiu bumped into someone head-on again, but she didn't even look at it this time, and rushed straight to luck.

Sure enough, several screams rang out, and someone was injured.

Luan Shuiqing's face was a little gloomy, because he found that things were more troublesome than expected, and the few people lying on the ground wailing were all wearing the clothes of the City Lord's Mansion Patrol Guard.

A tall man who looked like the captain of the patrol had already stopped Luan Yeqiu, who had just gone on a rampage, "Who are you, you dare to attack the patrol guard?"

"Don't get in the way!" Luan Yeqiu didn't look at him, and pushed him aside to continue chasing the assassin just now.

"Bold, come on, take her down for me!" the man shouted angrily, and several large guards immediately rushed up and held down Luan Yeqiu.

Luan Yeqiu's eyes flashed with coldness, and he was about to make a move, when a tall back suddenly appeared in front of him, only to see this person stretch out his finger and quickly tap a few times on the guards, and the big men immediately let go of their hands, snorted, and retreated a few steps.

Luan Shuiqing stood in front of these people quietly, and said coldly with a frosty face: "A few big men, don't you feel ashamed to deal with a girl's family like this?"

The patrol captain looked the two up and down, and took them as father and daughter, and sneered: "It's quite short, what's the matter, the little one has made a mistake, and the old one has come to the fore? This girl is so savage, I'm afraid it's because of your lack of discipline as a father!"

Luan Yeqiu was slightly stunned, she silently looked at the tall and broad back in front of her, and when she heard this obviously sarcastic sentence, a warm current surged in her heart inexplicably.

Luan Shuiqing didn't deny it, he was still a little angry in his heart, but as soon as he heard the other party speak, he regarded him as Luan Yeqiu's father, and inexplicably felt a burst of relief, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared, but he slowly walked in front of the chief and quietly stuffed a piece of gold into the other party's hand.

"Sir, I'm really sorry today, buy some medicine for my brothers. "There is still a Demon Sect near Luan Mansion, and he doesn't want to entangle himself here.

But he didn't expect that what he encountered today was an iron-faced and selfless stubble, the patrol captain didn't even look at the gold, his eyes were level at Luan Shuiqing, and he said righteously: "Attacking the official mansion is a serious crime, no matter what, you have to go to the city lord's mansion with me today!"

However, as soon as his words fell, Luan Shuiqing, who was still looking kind and pleasant just now, suddenly burst out with an incomparably powerful aura in his body, this aura was domineering and majestic, and everyone present, including Luan Yeqiu, was shocked by this powerful aura.

"I don't want to make trouble, you'd better not push me. He spit out these words coldly in his mouth, and then turned around and pointed to Luan Yeqiu behind him, "This is the eldest lady of Luan Mansion, who accidentally injured a few brothers just now when he was chasing the murderer, so this money is not used to bribe you, but to compensate these brothers, if there is really something behind them, you can go back to Luan Mansion to seek justice, but now, we can't go with you." ”

After speaking, he didn't give the other party room to discuss, turned around and grabbed Luan Yeqiu's little hand, and ordered in a tone that could not be ignored: "Go back with me." ”

This time, Luan Yeqiu did not resist, but lowered his head like a child who made a mistake and said "um" softly, and obediently followed.

Along the way, Luan Shuiqing kept holding his daughter's hand and walked home, he had mixed feelings in his heart, this was the first time he had held his daughter's hand and went home in his life, thinking of this, this man who had just been majestic almost shed tears.

When he was about to arrive at the door, Luan Shuiqing let go of his hand with some reluctance, and said softly to Luan Yeqiu: "You can go in by yourself." ”

Luan Yeqiu stood still and didn't move, looking at him with complicated eyes and said, "Aren't you going in?"

Luan Shuiqing turned his head and didn't speak.

Seeing that the other party was reluctant to answer, Luan Yeqiu didn't say anything more, just nodded at him lightly, "Then I'll go in first." Before Luan Yeqiu entered the door, he looked back twice.

As soon as I walked into the house, I saw Mrs. Luan reprimanding the maids just now, as soon as she saw Luan Yeqiu, she immediately ran over in a hurry, and after carefully looking at it several times, after confirming that her daughter was not injured, she immediately raised her eyebrows and reproached: "You dead girl, you went out to the wild as soon as the injury was healed, and now it's so dangerous outside, can you let my mother save some snacks?"

Luan Yeqiu lowered his head and said, "Mother, I know it's wrong, I'll go back to the room now, and you have to be careful yourself." With that, he trotted all the way away.

Mrs. Luan sighed, although she knew that this girl was to avoid her own scolding, but she was helpless, although she was resolute on weekdays, but she couldn't bear to be harsh on this only daughter, so she had to turn back and tell those maids: "Go back and keep an eye on Miss, you can't let her run around anymore." ”

Luan Yeqiu's attack was tantamount to telling everyone in Luan Mansion a message that the Demon Sect had not retreated, they were still hiding in the shadows, peeping around like wolves, and if they slackened a little, they might seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

The night is getting dark, and everyone should be immersed in sleep at such a time, but in the Luan Mansion, those loyal guards are still staring wide-eyed in the dark, carefully guarding against possible attacks.

Also sleepless were Yun Luochen, Jiang Yu, Crane Immortal Weng, Jing Wuyan and others who were sitting together in the backyard, discussing countermeasures to deal with the Demon Sect.

"One in the light and the other in the dark, the brethren can keep it tonight, but not all night." Jing Wuyan complained helplessly.

Yun Luochen said: "We only have one way out, and that is to find an opportunity to take the initiative!"

"Having said that," Jiang Yu said with a frown, "but we can't find a chance at all now, no one in the Iron Cloak Gang has found out where they are hiding so far, and the whereabouts of those masters of the Demon Sect are even more confusing." ”

Everyone was silent, in fact, everyone knew that the only way to solve the current dilemma was to take the initiative, but the reality of the enemy and the darkness made everyone have nowhere to go.

"Pingqiu Valley. Yun Luochen said suddenly.

Everyone else looked at Yun Luochen, "What are you talking about?"

"That's right," Yun Luochen nodded firmly, "It must be in Pingqiu Valley." ”

"When my senior sister and I were trapped inside, I thought about it, why did the Demon Sect build a lot of construction here a few days ago? In addition to building those magic circles, they didn't know how many traps, traps, and tunnels they had built in Pingqiu Valley, so I'm sure there must be a base of the Demon Sect hidden in Pingqiu Valley. ”

"At the beginning, in an inn outside the city, there was a tunnel that connected to the depths of Pingqiu Valley, why did the Iron Clothes Gang always come and go without a trace in Pingqiu City, and they couldn't find a hiding place at all? We can completely infer that there must be similar tunnels in some places in Pingqiu City that lead to Pingqiu Valley. ”

Jiang Yu nodded repeatedly, "I think this speculation is very convincing." ”

But then he said: "However, just speculating about these still can't solve the urgent need, we don't know where they are hiding in Pingqiu Valley, and rashly send many people to rush into the valley to search, not to mention offending the City Lord's Mansion, if they leave from the tunnel and kill directly into Luan's Mansion, there is not enough strength here to resist." ”

Yun Luochen was silent for a moment, then turned his gaze to Jing Wuyan, "Now, we can only force them to make a move, we ignored the possibility of them entering and exiting from the tunnel before, so we have not been able to track them down. But this time, everyone has been mentally prepared, and I believe that there is a great deal of confidence in digging out those hidden tunnels. ”

Jing Wuyan found that Yun Luochen had been watching him, so he asked, "How did you force them to make a move?"

Yun Luochen's eyes showed a resolute look, and he said word by word: "Remove the defense." ”
