In the case of deliberately gathering the heroes of the green forest, no one knows how many monks and masters there are in the Niushou Mountain Taoist Temple.

There are still five groups of the six groups of sect Junyan who have combat effectiveness, although there are masters like Wu You's entourage and Li Jing'an's entourage, but the responsibility of the entourage is to protect and not others, besides, although they are masters, the monks in the Niushou Mountain Taoist Temple may not necessarily be lower than them.

After all, it was a group of beings who could arrange a teleportation array.

So everyone was a little worried.

In the case that it has been determined that the thief is a person from Niushou Mountain, the clan Junyan has a debate on the question of where to go next, and there are no more than two topics of contention, whether to withdraw or continue to investigate deeply.

If it is withdrawn like this, the assessment of the clan Toshihiko is not unfinished, this time the assessment is divided into two parts, detection and arrest of thieves, but since the thieves are strong, Toshihiko himself can't be defeated, so there is no need to arrest, after all, the assessment tests Toshihiko, not the forces behind Toshihiko.

Most of the clan junyan chose to withdraw, Li Qi said: "We are here to participate in the assessment, the purpose is to be a leader, not to fight to the death with thieves, we don't need to take that risk, just pass the assessment." ”

He said this to the heart of a lot of Junyan, the thieves are harming the place, and they also intend to rebel and endanger the court, which is a great harm - but what does that have to do with these clan Junhiko?

Stabilizing the place to suppress the traitors is the business of the government and the imperial court, and the purpose of their coming here is to pass the assessment.

"I agree with Brother Qi'er's opinion, let's withdraw first, and report the situation to the court after we go back, and let the court send someone to eradicate the demons and thieves of the Niushou Mountain Taoist Temple. A clan toshihiko chimed in.

Li Qi glanced at the man, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.

The reason why he said so bluntly was because of his position and intention-to persuade the other toshihiko to withdraw with him.

Li Qian has been injured, and he has folded his entourage, and he has no ability to continue to investigate, but at this point in this trip, he has completed the task of detecting the thieves with everyone, and the credit is not half a point, and even sacrificing the entourage is still hard work, and when the time comes for the imperial court assessment, he will also take pity on him and take care of him accordingly.

But if everyone continues to investigate, Li Qian will not be able to participate, and when others have another harvest, then the credit will be more than him, and his assessment ranking will inevitably lag behind, which is unacceptable to Li Qian.

Li Jing'an and Wu You did not agree to withdraw.

They want to keep exploring.

Li Jing'an said: "The demon path of Niushou Mountain is a scourge place, hurting countless people, how can I, as a disciple of the clan, not take responsibility? If I didn't come here, it would be fine, since I came, how could I retreat from the battle, not go to the road to watch, and try to save the mountain people?"

What he said was righteous and awe-inspiring, but everyone knew that he was just relying on his entourage to cultivate to a high level, and wanted to achieve some new results to add points, after all, for him, it was far from enough to pass the assessment, and getting the first place was the goal.

Li Jing'an glanced at Wu You, he was waiting for her choice, among the six groups of the clan, Li Jing'an and Wu You were the strongest, so they were also the most direct competition.

Wu You said: "You are right, I agree with your point of view, we still have to go to the Taoist temple of Niushou Mountain, and those suffering mountain people must try to rescue." ”

Li Jing'an stood up, "In that case, is the county lord walking with me?"

Wu You nodded, although the two groups of them are in a competitive relationship, but there is also a danger in going to the Taoist temple, and the peers take care of each other, and they also need some cooperation, she looked at Li Ye and asked, "Brother Ye wants to go together?"

Li Ye groaned for a while, but finally sighed, shook his head and said, "I won't go." ”

He glanced at Wu You's entourage and said with a wry smile: "The mountains are dangerous, I don't have that strength." ”

Then he glanced at Li Jing'an again, as if he was not at ease with Li Jing'an, and was afraid that the other party would plot against him in the mountains: "And I don't have the heart to compete for the ranking." ”

His meaning is obvious, as long as he can pass the assessment, he will be satisfied.

Wu You was very sorry and a little reluctant, but he couldn't say too much, his little face was very entangled, Li Ye saw her like this, and took the initiative to be relieved: "I'm waiting for you in Juxian County, you go and come back quickly." ”

Wu You finally cheered up a little and nodded vigorously: "I will come back soon, Brother Ye must wait for me!"

Li Jingan sneered beside him, pursed his lips secretly, and said to the woman beside him: "It's still the prince, it's just guts." ”

Song Yuanqiao saw that Wu You and Li Jing'an had made up their minds to leave everyone and enter the mountain alone, a well-concealed joy flashed in his eyes, and his face was still worried: "The mountain is dangerous, there are many thieves in the Taoist temple, and the county lord and the prince ......."

Li Jing'an was very arrogant, he didn't pay attention to Song Yuanqiao at all, and directly ignored his words, he walked up to Wu You, and said with a smile: "Lord Li, please." ”

......

Wu You and Li Jing'an each took their entourage and left the entrance of the village, and when they were leaving, Wu You reluctantly glanced at Li Ye, but Li Ye nodded in response.

There is nothing wrong with this scene in the eyes of everyone, and Lord Li's feelings for Li Ye are almost well known in the clan, so it is impossible for them to expect that Li Ye and Wu You had any secret plans.

After Wu You and Li Jing'an left, Song Yuanqiao greeted everyone with a smile: "Today has experienced a fierce battle, I think you are all a little tired, I will wait here to rest for half a day, and then set off back tomorrow? ”

Everyone said: "There is the county lieutenant of Laosong." ”

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, Li Ye led Shangguan Allure and walked around the village a few times, and the other sect handsomes were also bored and wandered around.

Song Yuanqiao, who was repairing the boat on the riverside, and the middle-aged man he brought with him, got together and talked in a low voice.

"Lord Li and Li Jing'an went to the deep mountains, will there be any problems, if they really find the Taoist temple......" The middle-aged man was a little worried.

Song Yuanqiao said: "Lord Li and Li Gongzi don't know the way to the Taoist temple, and they brought the villagers as guides, so where are the villagers walking fast, and they know that there are tigers in the mountains and are biased towards the tiger mountains, so they must be on guard, it is impossible to let the entourage fly with their imperial sword, right? So their itinerary must not be fast...... Wait for us here...... It's not hard to catch up with them, and then they'll have to come back halfway!"

Speaking of this, he didn't continue, but the middle-aged man had already shown his expression.

When night came, they each found a room where they could rest in their eyes.

Because there was nothing to entertain, everyone meditated and turned off the lights early.

The house Li Ye chose was quite close to the entrance of the village, away from the river, he meditated in the room, and Shangguan Chengcheng stayed in the hall.

There was nothing to say in the middle of the night, until the hour, Li Ye opened his eyes, saw a clear light on the windowsill, looked up, there was a crescent moon under the eaves, bright in the sea of stars, and the courtyard wall outside the window, the old locust tree with lush branches gathered a large shadow.

At this moment, a black shadow, from the branches and leaves of the old locust tree, jumped out like an ape, two leaves floated behind him, the clothes covered half of the moon, Qinghui outlined his body outline, outlining the chic freehand.

Jumping into the courtyard wall, before anyone arrived, the long sword was already out of the sheath, the clear light was like a floating light, and it flashed away on the sword, he broke through the window in an instant, and took Li Ye's face door with a sword!

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Li Ye slapped his hand on the bed, jumped up against the black shadow of the broken window, his body moved, Lu Gujian was already in his hand, he drew his sword out of the sheath, accompanied by a loud sword groan, a white light appeared in the scabbard, and the long sword slashed down vertically, splitting out a white match.

The streamer of light illuminates the humble house.

Before a streamer could disappear, a second streamer had already appeared.

Between the lightning and flint, Li Ye slashed out seven sword lights, vertically, horizontally, skimming, squeezing, teasing, picking, and stabbing, from different angles, flying towards the black shadow one after another, enveloping his entire body in the sword qi.

The room was like starlight, mottled mud walls, brown doors and windows, and there were all the details in the sword aura.

The black shadow's eyes widened, and the sword that stabbed out was quickly withdrawn, and he slashed in front of him again and again, splitting the sword qi in front of him.

It's just that the timing of Li Ye's shot was just right, the black shadow just broke through the window, and his body was about to enter, and he was stuck in the window wall.

Four of the seven sword qi were split by him, and three of them still hit him.

In the piercing sound of puff, the black shadow's left shoulder, right rib, and right leg burst out three blood mist at the same time, and the whole body was also repelled from the window, but fortunately, he stabilized his body in the end and did not fall, but when he retreated into the courtyard, he still couldn't help but take a few steps back.

And when he was retreating, Li Ye had already taken the opportunity to sweep out of the windowsill and attack him step by step.

"Sure enough, it's you. Li Ye saw the other party's face clearly and sneered.

At this time, Shangguan Allure had already rushed to kill with a knife.
