The morning sun on the horizon slowly rose, and the warm sunlight shone on Qingyuan City, and this prosperous and lively thousand-year-old city ushered in a new day.

Two larks, appearing in the clear blue sky above Qingyuan City, "chirping" non-stop, they chased each other, swept through the noisy city, through the shops, flew to a secluded building complex in the west of the city, and landed on the eaves of an inconspicuous old mansion.

"Knock knock knock - Sanniang, Sanniang, hurry up. ”

A noisy knock on the door, mixed with eager shouts, broke the silence of dawn.

"Squeak-" The door to the wing room opened.

Out of her was a fair-skinned woman of her mid-thirties, with a pretty face, and behind her, a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old with an ordinary face.

It was Feng Sanniang and Shen Yun.

As for the two people standing in front of the door, one was wearing a blue shirt and a jade pendant on his belt, and he was a personable son.

The other person is an old man with a wrinkled face, who is naturally the master and servant of the Zou family.

"What's the matter, what's wrong?" Feng Sanniang looked at the eager appearance of Zou Gongzi and the old man surnamed Cai, and asked with a puzzled face, "By the way, the general and the immortal chief have already woken up?"

"This ......" The old man surnamed Cai glanced at the main hall, and then at Zou Gongzi, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Sanniang, those shadow guards and Mao Xianchang are not in the room, I'm afraid they have already left Qingyuan City. The boy surnamed Zou smiled bitterly and explained.

"What, it's gone!" Sanniang was shocked when she heard this.

At this moment, five more people came out of the two rooms next door, and it was the other dart masters who were woken up by the knock on the door.

"What's going on, why is it so noisy?" asked the one of the dart masters with a scar on his face, still with a sleepy look on his face.

"When I woke up this morning, I didn't see the shadow guard on duty in the courtyard, and I wondered in my heart, so I walked to the main hall and knocked on the door carefully, wanting to ask the lord if he needed me to prepare some food, but no one answered. Naturally, I didn't dare to be disturbed, and after a quarter of an hour, I walked out of the door again, and greeted me carefully, but no one answered. So I had the courage to push open the door, but found that there was no figure of the white-robed young general in the room, and I checked several other rooms with Cai Lao, and found that the building was already empty. And the room was clean, and nothing was left. ”

The boy surnamed Zou looked at the people who walked out, and naturally explained again.

The dart masters looked at each other behind them and sighed with emotion, and Cai Lao, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but sigh secretly, with a regretful expression.

After all, among the people in this group, one of them is the leader of the shadow guard, and the other is a qi refiner, if they can make friends, it will be a great opportunity for the people present.

And now, this group of people seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and under the same roof, a group of dart masters are not half aware of it, which can't help but make people feel surprised.

"What time is it?" Feng Sanniang suddenly showed a strange look on her face, and asked inexplicably.

"Now, it's almost hour. The old man surnamed Cai thought for a moment and replied casually.

"If it was in normal times, how could we wake up so late, even if I waited for a bloody battle yesterday, I wouldn't have slept so soundly, and I don't even know when these shadow guards will leave. Feng Sanniang saw everyone's puzzled expressions, and asked again.

"Sanniang means ......" The Scarface Master seemed to think of something when he heard this.

"I'm afraid that when we are asleep, we will be secretly used to do something, so that I will wait to sleep and die, I don't know, if these shadow guards want to take the opportunity to take our lives, I am afraid of ......" Sanniang's face was cold, and when she said this, she stopped.

After listening to Sanniang's words, everyone understood, and their hearts were shocked!

Speaking of which, this group of dart masters is doing the business of escorting the dart protector, and they are cautious everywhere, and they will never fall for the tricks of the rivers and lakes like "Ecstasy Incense".

But this group of shadow guards, together with more than 20 people including Daoist Mao, seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, and disappeared silently under everyone's noses, which was really weird.

If these people have any other thoughts, I am afraid that before they know what happened, they will have already returned to the underworld.

If you think about it carefully, how can it not make people frightened and frightened, and send chills down your spine.

"The maggots of the tarsal bones follow the shape like a shadow, silently", this is the truest portrayal of the shadow guard.

What these dart masters don't know is that how many princes and ministers, gangsters, were still asleep, and they were killed by the shadow guards!

As for the immortal chief surnamed Mao, not to mention, as a high-level qi refiner, how could the means be imagined by this group of dart masters?

If you really want to take the lives of these people, it will be a no-brainer.

However, the young Shen Yun showed a hint of clarity on his face, and he secretly doubted in his heart.

Halfway through last night, Shen Yun noticed that there was a strange sweet smell suddenly permeating the room.

Then I heard a rustling sound outside the house, and after a few moments, it was completely quiet.

Thinking about it, it should be the time for this group of shadow guards to leave the Zou family's mansion.

Only later, there was a vague figure shaking in front of him, although Shen Yun held his breath and pretended to close his eyes and sleep, he felt that the figure was slowly approaching, and it seemed to float to the side of the bed, without making a sound, and when he heard a woman's soft "huh" in his ears, he only felt that his head sank, and he also fell asleep.

All this was like a dream, even Shen Yun himself couldn't figure it out for a while, he just felt strange and didn't care, but the departure of the Mao Immortal made him feel a little lonely in his heart.

"Well, Sanniang is right, these shadow guards and that Mao Immortal Chief said goodbye, for us and others, it is a blessing and not a curse. After all, I can't wait to settle in the two counties of Yizhou and Zhanyang, and it is also a good thing to be able to dissociate ourselves from the power struggle of the imperial court and the refiners of the qi, and from this moment on, we must not mention the words 'shadow guard' and 'qi refiner' again, and we can only say that Hong Darttou was also killed in the battle in front of the White Horse Pass, just like Sun Dartshi, otherwise, it is likely to cause a catastrophe. The boy surnamed Zou was silent for a moment and spoke.

When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale, and they all nodded secretly.

The group entered the main hall and sat down.

"By the way, you have worked hard to escort all the way, and you have fought to the death in front of the White Horse Pass......"

......

Besides, the white-robed and silver-armored female general surnamed Du, along with the twenty shadow guards and Hong Huzi, all dressed in civilian clothes, escorted the young thirteen princes, and after leaving the western city gate, they galloped all the way to the south.

And the Taoist priest surnamed Mao was staying with his disciple, the tiger-headed young man, in a seemingly simple inn in the west of the city.

"Well, okay, this Qi Nourishing Pill will be rewarded to you, after you go back to the room, cultivate with your heart. The Taoist priest surnamed Mao threw a white pill and it was falling into the hands of the little fat man.

"Master Xie. The little fat man took the pill, looked happy, thanked him, and withdrew from the room.

Thinking of the scene of bidding farewell to the female general surnamed Du this morning, Mao Xiao showed a strange look.

Du Ru tears, I don't want this woman to dress up in men's clothes, it is far more amazing than a silver armor and white robe, there is less masculinity on the body, but it reveals a feminine and handsome atmosphere, even if it is compared with me back then, it is not much better. The Taoist priest surnamed Mao played with the white runes in his hand and muttered to himself.

"Why do you talk so much today, don't you have any thoughts about the female general surnamed Du?" A cold woman's voice suddenly sounded in the room.

"Hehe, in my heart, there has always been only Wan'er. It's just that when I see my current appearance, I feel a little emotional. The Taoist priest surnamed Mao put away the white rune in his hand and replied.

"I'm going to take the risk of doing that tonight, don't think anything else at this time, if you can succeed in doing this, I will naturally give you what I promised you. ”

After saying this, the Taoist priest surnamed Mao stood up and walked out of the door.

......

At the mouth of the canyon in the first line of heaven, three people in black robes appeared.

"Elder Situ, this is the place mentioned in the black and white impermanence letter, there is still blood in the air, but why is there no trace of a fight here?

"The third prince has already found out that Hong Wantian and the little prince have been hiding in the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau for fourteen years, and the ninth prince sent a shadow guard to pick them up and return to Beijing, which shows that the news is conclusive. Originally, I thought that the dispatch of black and white impermanence would be nine out of ten, but now it seems that these two must have been killed. The previous Elder Situ said slowly in a gloomy voice.

"Impossible, the black and white impermanence method is amazing, and he was given the 'Blood Evil Pill' before he came, there is no reason to miss, could it be that Jin Ling Keqing made a move? But I haven't heard of which Keqing sent by the Nine Princes to Yizhou County?" asked another black-robed man next to him in a shrill voice.

When Elder Situ heard this, he did not answer, but he saw a strange trick in his hand, and in his mouth, a black beetle the size of a soybean crawled out of the weeds far away, and shook its wings on its back, and flew towards it, landing right on his fingers.

"This is ......," one of the black-robed men looked puzzled.

"This is a mutated beetle, which was originally hidden in the 'Blood Evil Pill', and the underground that is far away from here is the black and impermanent corpse. Since the other party was able to kill the black and white impermanence, if it weren't for the imperial court Jin Ling Keqing's action, it would probably be that the Qi refining family was involved in this matter, which was not originally expected. Elder Situ looked at the black beetle in his hand and sighed,

"Then what should we do now?Since the Nine Princes have sent me and the other three, if we can't do this, I'm afraid that we will ......" The rough-voiced black-robed man had a depressed voice and a sad face.

"It's okay, this black beetle doesn't have an elixir package, and it won't survive for a day, and those shadow guards haven't gone far yet. The front is Qingyuan City, let's go to the city first, find the people from the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau mentioned in the black and white impermanence letter, and we will definitely be able to find some clues. ”

After Elder Situ finished speaking, the three of them rushed in the direction of Qingyuan City.
