The sky was completely dark, and a sudden dog barking at the entrance of the village broke the original silence, and Li Bing and the two entered the village.

It is said that the town is not big, there are only 30 houses on the left, and the only two-story building is the inn, which is very recognizable here. Li Bing glanced at the carriage at the door of the inn, then pushed the door in.

The woman in the green shirt was a little later than Li Bing, and before arriving at the inn, she carefully confirmed the sign on the carriage, and made sure that it was 'Yunqi Sect', and followed in.

The lobby was empty, and I saw Li Bing standing in front of the cash cabinet with his hands in his arms, looking unhappy.

"This master, it's really not a small one to embarrass you, there are vacant rooms, but the store has been chartered by someone else tonight, and this small one can't be the master." ”

Hearing this, the woman in the green shirt had already roughly guessed the general situation of the matter, and also stepped forward and said, "Then can you trouble the person who chartered the inn to come out, and I will ask him face to face?"

The shopkeeper looked innocent: "This ...... I'm afraid it's not right, it's getting late, and those people are probably already asleep. ”

Before the words fell, a person came out of the second floor: "I chartered the store, there is something important tonight, the two of you can't help it, please go elsewhere to invest in the store." ”

The man was a burly man, with a beard on his face, and he was about forty years old. After speaking, he clasped his fists at Li Bing and saluted, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the woman in the green shirt.

"Is this senior from the Yunqi Sect?"

When the big man heard this, he also turned back and looked her up and down, "Are you?"

The woman in the green shirt glanced at Li Bing with contempt, and then clasped her fists and saluted to the beard: "The junior 'Chang'an Fei faction' and 'Yinglan'er' have seen their seniors." ”

The man nodded suspiciously: "You are a non-sectarian person, surnamed Ying, and at this age, are you the daughter of the hall master of Yingque Ying?" Then this one next to you is the fiancé of your 'Shufeng Chamber of Commerce'?"

Ying Lan'er shook her head slightly: "The predecessor guessed right, my father is Yingque." But I don't know this person. The juniors passed by here and wanted to stay in the hotel, but this store has already been chartered by the seniors. I wonder if I can give it to the next empty room? It's getting late, and there is no other inn in this radius. ”

Hearing this, the bearded man nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "No." It's not that I don't help, it's also for the girl's safety. Listen to my advice, and the girl should go live somewhere else. After saying this, the big man had already walked back to the room, but turned around and came back: "Also, these days, the girl should no longer report the name of her sect in front of people, I can't say anything clearly, in short, these days, the girl is more careful." ”

With that, the man turned and entered the house, slamming the door shut, apparently there was no room for negotiation in this matter.

Seeing the beard enter the room, Li Bing had already laughed out loud, slowly walked out of the inn, shook his head, and said loudly: "Oops, oops, it's really hot face and cold ass, I'm laughing to death!"

Ying Lan'er stiffened her face, almost exploding. But she looked at the door, frowned, and thought carefully: Although there are some fights in the 'Four Doors of the Legalist Family' in secret, but the face is always maintained very well, there is obviously a vacant room today, but this person is unwilling to give it to me, there must be a problem in the middle.

I was about to go upstairs to take a look, but was stopped by Xiao Er: "Girl." That master has already made it very clear, so don't let the little one be embarrassed. ”

Ying Lan'er glanced at the door again, sat down at the table, and slapped the saber on the table: "You can't live in the store, you always have to eat." Feel free to have a little bit. I'll leave when I'm done. ”

Half an hour passed, Li Bing walked around the village and returned to the vicinity of the inn, seeing that the door of the inn had been closed, leaving only the two lanterns outside that were inexplicably lit. He found a poplar tree, turned over and climbed up, took out a rough steamed bun from his bosom that he didn't know where to find it, and gnawed on it as he looked at the door of the inn.

Think back to the conversation in the inn. Ying Lan'er is a person from the 'Chang'an Non-Sect', and Li Bing is very familiar with this sect:

"Non-faction" is one of the "four major factions of Legalism", founded by Han Feizi of the Qin Dynasty, and was reused by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty during the Sui Dynasty. Since the Tang Dynasty, the sect was once suppressed and almost perished. Later, because the people in the sect supported the "Wu Zetian" to ascend to the throne, made contributions, and was reused by the imperial court, he has gradually detached himself from the rivers and lakes. The doorman rarely learns foreign kung fu, and is good at inner magic. The non-faction now emphasizes literature and light martial arts, and there are few people who have achieved great martial arts, and they have wasted the internal strength of the upper echelons in vain, which makes the people of the rivers and lakes choke.

That bearded man is the "Yunqi Sect", and it is also one of the "Four Great Sects of Legalism", and the mountain gate is located in Hengzhou, Jiangnan. It is rumored that it was founded by the descendants of Wu Qi and Sun Wu of the Warring States Period, who have ignored the government since the Qin Dynasty and concentrated on studying martial arts. There are many masters, and they have never been interrupted for hundreds of years. Twenty years ago, the sect leader assisted his friends "An Lushan" and "Shi Siming", re-involved in court disputes and became the backbone of the rebels. Later, the sect was taken over by a female disciple and flourished again. It is said that the female head of the family has extremely high martial arts, and the rivers and lakes rarely meet opponents.

The bearded man also mentioned that Yinglan'er's fiancé was a member of the "Shufeng Chamber of Commerce", another of the four major factions of the Legalists: the "Shufeng Chamber of Commerce" in Jiazhou is the largest sect in Shu. It originated from the "Shufeng Gate" of the Han Dynasty, and after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the sect was hit hard, and had to turn into business, but it was successful. There are many wealthy sects, often helping people in the rivers and lakes, and there has never been a dispute with other sects for many years, and the reputation of the rivers and lakes is very good. Martial arts are both internal and external, and there are many rumored masters who are not in the world, and they don't know whether they are true or false.

Wonderful, wonderful. There are three of the four major factions of the Legalist family, and I don't know what moths they are going to make.

Li Bing sat on the tree and watched a familiar figure appear next to the inn, and knew that "the show is on".

Ying Lan'er stood on the edge of the inn wall, glanced at the bungalow next to her, and was about to jump up with her light work, but saw a figure suddenly appear next to her: "There is a dog in the backyard, if you turn in, the whole inn will be woken up by you." If you want to go in, come with me. ”

"Who wants you to care. Yinglan'er was stubborn, but she still followed. As soon as she reached the window, she heard a soft "boom" sound from inside, apparently the wooden latch had fallen to the ground. Li Bing glanced at him, full of pride, gently pushed open the window sash, and the two of them went in through the window one after the other.

The hall of the inn was dead silent as expected, only a brass mandarin duck oil pot was placed on the central table, flickering with fire. This was originally for the convenience of guests to get up at night, but at this time, it is a bit unusual for the upstairs guest room to be lit up.

Li Bing pointed to the room upstairs, made a silent gesture with his hands, tiptoed, and slowly walked up the steps. Yinglan'er also learned to follow behind and walked under the window. Sticking to the door, there was no sound at all, and she was about to poke a hole in the window paper with her fingers, but was pulled by Li Bing.

He winked, put his finger in his mouth, and gently placed it on the window paper, allowing the paper to soak wet before gently piercing it. Ying Lan'er nodded slightly, and also opened a small hole.

This room is not big, there are three people in total. They both sat on the ground, and the two of them gave luck to the third man, who was about forty years old, except for the blood stains on his clothes, his face was also very pale, and he seemed to have suffered extremely serious internal injuries. The appearance of the two people in the back is not very clear, only that they are a man and a woman, and they seem to be in their thirties.

Ying Lan'er always felt that the injured person was very familiar, and looked at it twice, but she was startled, and said in her heart: The injured person was actually the deputy sect master of the Yunqi Sect. At the general meeting three years ago, his martial arts were much higher than his father's, who could hurt him so badly. No wonder he didn't let me live here, if this matter was known to the other sects of the Dharma, I would definitely lose a lot of face at the Fa Sect conference a month later.

Li Bing didn't know why, watched Yinglan'er walk to the second room, and followed. The room was a little bigger, but there were only two people in it. The one sitting at the table was the bearded man the two of them had seen earlier today. He propped his head on his hands and leaned against the table, not knowing if he was asleep. The other man was tied hand and foot and thrown to the ground. He seemed to be very young, probably fifteen or sixteen years old, with a thin body and tattered clothes.

At this moment, the young man in the corner swept his eyes through the window and inadvertently seemed to spot the two of them. Looking at each other, the man was a little excited, and sat up and looked at the window. Li Bing and the others were also taken aback, took a step back, and looked at each other again. Li Bing waved his hand to signal Yinglan'er not to move, and continued to look at the situation inside.

The kidnapped man rubbed his body slightly, moved in the direction of the door, turned his back to the door, and was about to give the two of them a look, when the big man suddenly knocked on the table and said, "Be honest! But the man was still holding his head on his hands, and his eyes were closed.

The young man was also a little frightened, exhaled a long breath, turned his head sideways and motioned for the two of them to look behind him, and then took out a thin bamboo knot from his sleeve and gently broke it, and the lilac smoke drifted out of it.

It was the first time for Yinglan'er to see these things in the rivers and lakes, and she took a step back vigilantly, and Li Bing also covered her mouth and nose with her hands. Although they are far away and there is only one small hole to breathe, it is better to be careful.

After a while, the big man's head slipped from his hand and slammed into the table with a "thud". Before Li Bing could react, the young man's body also collapsed and fell to the ground, both of whom were obviously stunned.

Li Bingxin thought that since he was arrested by Yunqi Sect, maybe it had something to do with the imperial court, so it was better to save it, but he was pulled by Yinglan'er as soon as he got together: "What are you going to do!"

"Of course it's to save people, let's rescue them first and ask, aren't you also here to check the facts?" After Li Bing finished speaking, he got up and gently pushed the door in.

Yinglan'er couldn't take it, and she was worried about missing the opportunity, so she gritted her teeth and followed.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, a faint fragrance came to their faces, obviously a fascination. Li Bing held his breath, pulled up the young man, and put it on his back, but unfortunately the young man's straw sandals were loose and fell to the ground with a "bang".

This startled the two of them into a cold sweat, but fortunately, the beard was still faint, and Li Bing hurriedly carried the young man out. Ying Lan'er was scared in her heart, so she simply made it bad, put the bamboo incense in front of the big man's snort, and muttered in a low voice: "If you don't let me live, I'll let you live enough!"

The two of them left the inn, and Yinglan'er asked again: "Then what are you going to do now, where are you going?"

Li Bing didn't expect to save people, and he had no idea for a while, but he glanced at the carriage placed at the door of the inn: "Anyway, I have already stolen people out, so I don't want to do anything, so I just stole the carriage together." With that, he threw the boy into the carriage. Turned to Yinglan'er and said, "You look at him first, don't untie him, I'll go to the backyard and lead the horse." ”

Ying Lan'er also got on the horse, and folded the small flag of Yunqizong on the sedan car, but she heard a dog barking in the backyard, knowing that the matter had been lost, and was about to pull the young man out of the car to escape, but saw that Li Bing had already led the horse out of the backyard.

"I made a mistake in my busyness, and now I really have to run quickly. ”

Yinglan'er was also a thief, so she hurriedly jumped out of the car and helped Li Bing put the reins on the horse.

As soon as I was halfway through, I saw a man walking out of the backyard with a lamp in his hand. By the faint light, before Li Bing could see who the person was, the man had already seen the two of them tying up the horse rope, and he shivered in fright, turned around and ran back late, screaming loudly: "Catch a thief! Someone steals a horse!"

Li Bing was originally a thief, and he couldn't care so much, so he whipped the whip on the horse's back.

"Drive!"
