It was already completely dark, and every household in Tiandu County was lit with lights, and the cold wind was whistling by, making Xu Changfeng shiver. I saw him climb over the fence, crawl out of the courtyard, and stand in the empty alley, his eyes confused, and he looked lost and depressed.

Xu Changfeng didn't know how long he had been standing outside the courtyard, he suddenly remembered something, quickly turned around, and quickly rushed towards the inn. There was only a small door open in the inn, and there were many lights inside, and there was not a single guest inside.

Xu Changfeng stood at the door of the inn, took a deep breath, and immediately pulled out the dim Lone Shadow Short Sword, and walked in with his eyes like a wolf.

"Where's the shopkeeper, come out for me!"

Xu Changfeng walked into the inn and went straight to the counter. At this time, the shopkeeper was standing in front of the counter looking at the miscellaneous books with relish, and suddenly he was frightened by a sharp voice, and the miscellaneous books in his hand also fell to the ground.

When he looked up, he saw a young man, holding a dark green short sword in his hand, straight to his chest, with that momentum, as if he had the hatred of killing his father.

In the blink of an eye, the Lone Shadow Short Sword was already on the shoulder of the shopkeeper, and he couldn't stop shaking, and he could feel a slight chill emanating from the blade and rushing straight to his neck.

"What about your shopkeeper, call it out for me!" Xu Changfeng's eyes widened, and his tone was very gloomy.

The shopkeeper was frightened stupidly, and said intermittently: "The shopkeeper is not there......"

"Where did you go?" Xu Changfeng then asked, his tone even more angry.

"I don't know...... I haven't seen anyone else all day......"

The shopkeeper whispered, almost crying, and he could feel the short sword on his shoulder constantly moving inside. He knew very well that if this sword went down, he would be able to explain it here.

At this time, Ma Yanzheng walked down from upstairs, saw that Xu Changfeng was holding a sword and aimed at the shopkeeper, looking like he was going to kill, and hurriedly shouted: "Xu Changfeng, what are you going to do?"

Xu Changfeng was stunned, and then he came back to his senses, and the serious killing intent slowly dissipated, but his posture did not change in the slightest.

Ma Yan felt that the killing intent on Xu Changfeng's body dissipated, breathed a sigh of relief, rushed to his side quickly, and snatched the Lone Shadow Short Sword. The shopkeeper's legs suddenly lost strength, and he sat on the ground with his butt slammed, his pants already wet.

"What's wrong with you?" Wei Xueying?" Ma Yan looked at Xu Changfeng and asked.

Xu Changfeng's eyes were glazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Ma Yan quickly noticed that Xu Changfeng was still holding a small purple sword in his left hand, which was Wei Xueying's sword. A wave of unease suddenly appeared in his heart......

After a long while, Xu Changfeng spoke, his voice hoarse as if he had grown old all of a sudden, "Wei Xueying, she was arrested, ......"

"What did you say?" Ma Yan couldn't believe it, "Is that the masked man in black?"

He was chopping firewood at Zhao's house today, and he had some understanding of this matter.

"Yes......" Xu Changfeng said in a low voice.

Ma Yan hurriedly said, "Have you been to that yard to look for it?"

"I've found it!"

Xu Changfeng turned his head, looked at Ma Yan with red eyes and said excitedly: "I have searched every corner, and there is no one!"

"You calm down first. Ma Yan said in a low voice.

"Calm down?" Xu Changfeng shouted: "What's the use of being calm?

His heart was very impetuous and he did not want to be calm. He also faintly felt a little strange that the poetry books he had read in the past ten years had no effect at this moment. He had tried to calm down, but when he came out of the courtyard, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered, and his calm mind suddenly collapsed.

In the vast sea of people, where is he going to find Wei Xueying?

"Don't worry, there will be a way. Ma Yan whispered, "They shouldn't have gone far, we still have a chance." ”

"Opportunity?" Xu Changfeng shook his head, "There are barren mountains and mountains for more than ten miles outside Tiandu County, they just find a place to hide people, where do you go to find them?"

"This ......" Ma Yan suddenly didn't know how to answer.

The way he can think of it, Xu Changfeng can naturally think of it. Otherwise, with Xu Changfeng's temperament, how could he lose his mind so easily?

"The only way now is to find the shopkeeper and force him to tell Wei Xueying's location. Xu Changfeng calmed down somewhat and said in a low voice.

Ma Yan returned the Lone Shadow Short Sword to Xu Changfeng and whispered, "Don't worry, let's find a way slowly." If the monk can't run away from the temple, can the shopkeeper still be able to leave?"

Ma Yan's words once again cheered Xu Changfeng up a little, but he was still very worried in his heart, and he didn't know where Wei Xueying was going to be sold by them.

Ma Yan patted Xu Changfeng on the shoulder and said, "Let's eat first, even if you get along with each other when you're hungry, you don't have the strength to find it." ”

Xu Changfeng nodded, and Ma Yan then stuffed a few pieces of silver to the shopkeeper, which should be compensation. The shopkeeper accepted the money, and his attitude was better, but he was still afraid of Xu Changfeng and avoided him from afar.

Then the shopkeeper ordered the kitchen to make a few dishes, Xu Changfeng looked at the table full of dishes, he had no appetite at all, and under Ma Yan's urging, he only ate a little.

He hadn't been so worried in ten years. Whenever I thought that Wei Xueying would be like those maids in Menghualou, my heart ached secretly. Although Wei Xueying is a cultivator, if the other party's strength is strong and her meridians are abolished, it will only be an easy matter.

The wind blew very tightly tonight, Tiandu County was surrounded by mountains, and the wind blowing out of the ravine was shivering, just like Xu Changfeng's mood, which was cold.

Ma Yan asked the shopkeeper carefully about the background of the shopkeeper, who would have thought that even the shopkeeper didn't know much about the identity of the shopkeeper, only knew that his surname was He, his home was far away, and he didn't see any relatives and friends in Tiandu County.

Xu Changfeng walked out of the door of the inn, stood under the eaves, looked at the dark and oppressive sky, it was about to rain, he couldn't help but recall the oil umbrella, that rainy night......

......

In the dead of night again, there was no moonlight in the sky, only a merciless wind that swept the clouds desperately.

A black shadow suddenly flashed in the courtyard where he couldn't see his fingers, and he could vaguely see a figure flying directly into the middle of the courtyard as light as a swallow.

When the figure landed, he couldn't hear the slightest sound of footsteps, which showed that this person was very good at light work.

The figure looked around the courtyard and walked briskly towards one of the houses in the courtyard. He hurried to the door, pinched a filament in his hand, slowly inserted it into the keyhole, and in less than a breath, the lock clicked open.

The figure gently pushed the door open a crack, and before he could enter, he saw several fires suddenly lit up in the dark room.

In this small house, ten officers and soldiers with long swords were squeezed out, they rushed out of it one after another, the man immediately retreated, and the other house was also on fire, and the same ten officers and soldiers with long swords rushed out, not only that, but the gate of the courtyard was also opened, and a large number of officers and soldiers entered from the gate, and the whole courtyard was illuminated by torches extremely bright.

The man did not draw his sword, and his hand was still empty. He was masked, and the crowd did not see what he really looked like.

At the same time, a large net fell from the sky, completely covering the man, and I saw that on the fence around the courtyard, an officer and soldier each leaped down and trapped the masked man with the big net.

"Half-sword thief, look how you escape this time. In the crowd, an officer in armor held a sharp sword and shouted at the man who was surrounded by a group.

The officer was so nervous that he had not been able to close his eyes for two days and two nights in order to set up the bureau. He learned from the shopkeeper of the inn next door that there were often mysterious people coming and going in this courtyard, and he suspected that it was a half-sword. And after two days of exploration by the Yamen, someone did sneak in every night, and then left before early in the morning.

However, the man was indifferent, as long as he dared to draw his sword, the dozens of officers and soldiers around him would immediately swing their swords and stab it into a hornet's nest, so this officer was sure that the half-sword would definitely be unable to escape!

"Hehe......" Who would have thought that the man actually laughed.

Before the laughter fell, only a loud sound could be heard, and a cloud of smoke filled the air.

"Up!" shouted the officer, almost subconsciously.

The surrounding officers and soldiers stabbed forward one after another, and after ten breaths, the fog dissipated. Only an empty net was left on the ground, and I saw that the dozens of sharp swords in the hands of the officers and soldiers were extremely bright, and not a drop of blood was contaminated......
