Volume 13 Chapter 4

Entering the outer hall were two warriors in strong suits with cold expressions, they divided the door left and right, and then walked in was a middle-aged man with eagle eyes and thin lips, dressed in brocade clothes, obviously the leader of this group of warriors, a pair of cold eyes swept over everyone in the hall, walked to the statue of the god king, looked up, and his eyes fell on the elegant and dignified face of the god king in the niche, and he refused to leave, behind him, one by one the warriors in the power suit with swords and swords rushed in.

Through the open temple door, you can see that there are about twenty or thirty of these warriors, and there are only a dozen of these warriors who broke into the temple, and as soon as they enter the temple gate, they scatter in all directions, controlling all the directions that may break through or guard, and there are two people guarding the temple gate outside the temple gate, sealing the temple door with swords, in case someone rushes out from inside, but they do not immediately break in and search. At the same time, there was the sound of the door striking in the side compartments on both sides, and it was obvious that the samurai who had not come in were searching for the firewood room and the stove room, but in a few moments, several samurai had already escorted the travelers into the temple, apparently trying to gather everyone in the temple into the main hall, so that no one would take advantage of the gap to escape. Just by looking at their well-trained and methodical actions, you can know that these warriors are not guards trained by ordinary wealthy families, but real good hands tempered from the sea of swords and blood. Although most of the boatmen in the outer hall were brave and ruthless people, otherwise they would not dare to beg for a living on the river where bandits were rampant, but they couldn't help but be terrified by these murderous samurai who seemed to want to choose someone to devour at any time.

Seeing this, everyone in the hall looked at each other, and the anger caused by the cold reprimand of these warriors just now also disappeared. I just hope that after they find the person to be arrested, they will be able to leave immediately. Among the passengers who had just been escorted in, there was one person with a different demeanor, he was the black-clothed young man who came on the same boat as the middle-aged Dao Gu and others. He was the only one of the two samurai who was politely invited in by the two samurai. Although the two of them followed the same path along the way, without any slackness, as if as long as the black-clothed young man stopped, the blades in their hands would be cut down, but there was no reprimand from beginning to end. But it's no wonder that this young man in black didn't wear any swords. Between the eyebrows, there is a hidden evil aura, and a pair of eyes are even brighter, and at a glance, you can know that they are not ordinary people, these warriors are here to hunt down the future young lady. Naturally, I don't want to grudge with people casually. However, to their satisfaction, after the young man in black entered the main hall, he looked left and right, and then randomly chose a fire and sat down, as if he had no intention of opposing them.

Seeing that the situation is completely under control. The middle-aged man with eagle eyes and thin lips raised his voice again: "Friends, Qiao asks again, has anyone seen a pair of men and women eloping together? If you have the heart to protect you, this boss is good at talking, but our eldest son's temper is not very good. I'm afraid I'm going to be sorry for you. His voice was loud and high-pitched. It's a bit sharper again. There was a ruthless taste in his tone, and when he heard it, he knew that the person who was talking outside the hall was also him.

Ruan San is the most experienced of this group of boatmen. The one with the greatest courage, and he knew that he had two Qingcheng faction masters on the ship as backers, so he was not afraid, looking at the demeanor of the chief manager surnamed Qiao, he felt very unpleasant, so he said coldly: "Although the Yuzhang Qiao family is a famous family, they can't manage Jiujiang County, and our group of brothers who are traveling on the boat are even more well water and river water, your eldest son's fiancée eloped, what does it have to do with us?" If this young man and woman walk together, I Ruan Sandi has indeed seen a lot, that is, on my boat, there is a young couple, but if you want to ask me if there is anyone you want to arrest, Ruan Mou doesn't know, after all, no one has ever seen the woman you want to find a land, let alone the word thief written on his face, if the chief wants to arrest someone, why don't you go to the apse of the nave and search it yourself?"

The middle-aged manager raised his voice twice to ask, but in fact, it was just to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger. If you hurriedly break into the apse of the nave and search, even if you find someone, it will embarrass the woman who eloped too much, in any case, she is also the fiancée of the eldest prince, and she is also from a famous family, and it is said that her talent is also very outstanding, who knows what the eldest prince will do? If the woman's innocence has not been tarnished, there is still room for redemption in the marriage, and if that woman becomes the young lady of Qiao's family in the future, it will not be worth the loss if she resents her offense today. It is better to let the woman know that she can't get away with it, and obediently come out and tie her hands, and when the time comes, she can get the gratitude of the future young lady with a little courtesy, even if the result is not so, there is no harm in doing so. He was scheming, deliberately pretentious, and refused to break into the nave immediately, just for this selfishness, but he couldn't think of it but was speechless when he asked Ruan Sanyi, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, glanced at a warrior not far behind Ruan San, and said sharply: "Kill." ”

The warrior comprehended, waved the steel knife in his hand, and suddenly the wind was loud, and a knife light like lightning slashed at the back of Ruan San's neck, Ruan San didn't expect that the middle-aged manager was so ruthless, he would kill people at every turn, and he was about to be splashed with blood

At this moment, behind the closed door of the central nave, someone shouted angrily: "

This shout contains the pure inner family true qi, the samurai only felt a pain in his brain, his subordinates couldn't help but slow, the nimble Ruan San had already escaped from under the knife with a rolling belt, and stumbled into a group of boatmen, these boatmen were all fierce, as soon as they saw the warriors of the Qiao family start to kill, they got up one after another, or pulled out a dagger and short knife, or simply picked up a piece of firewood, shoulders and backs, gathered in a circle, staring at those warriors with fierce eyes, and posing as a backwater.

The middle-aged steward didn't pay attention to these bluffing boatmen, but heard the sound and wanted to look at the door of the temple, only to see a middle-aged Taoist girl flashing out of the temple door, about thirty years old, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, her appearance was very gorgeous, although it was a monk's attire, her demeanor was very solemn, standing between the two samurai guarding the temple door, the sword almost touched her arm, but her expression did not change at all, just looked at the middle-aged chief indifferently, her eyes were very cold.

The middle-aged manager's gaze swept over the dust in the hands of the middle-aged Dao Gu, and he couldn't help but be moved: "The cold snow dust, one of the three treasures of the Qingcheng faction, isn't this one Zhou Yun Zhou Zhenren of the Qingcheng faction?"

The middle-aged Dao Gu looked at her coldly and said: "I dare not be ashamed of the word real person, I am Zhou Yun, and the Yuzhang Qiao family is also regarded as a hegemon, but even an ordinary boatman has to be killed, which is inevitably suspected of bullying." ”

The middle-aged manager frowned, he knew that although Zhou Yun was not a top master, he was notoriously ruthless, vicious and hateful, and he was the beloved disciple of the head of Qingcheng, and he was famous in black and white, regardless of his reputation and status, he was not as good as far away, unless the eldest prince arrived in time, he could have a theory with Zhou Yun, if he offended such a character, not to mention the endless trouble, it would also have a great impact on the reputation of the Qiao family, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart, he clenched his fists and said: " Zhou Zhenren, in Xia Qiao'an, is the head of foreign affairs of the Qiao family in Yuzhang, and in the name of the eldest prince, he pursues the young lady who ran away from marriage. ”

Zhou Yun swept the dust, as if to sweep away the pesky flies, and said coldly: "If I don't blame, you can leave this place now, and don't disturb me and my senior brother to rest." ”

The middle-aged manager's expression changed slightly, not because Zhou Yun issued an eviction order, but because of the word "senior brother", there is only one person who can walk the rivers and lakes side by side with Zhou Yun, that is Song Yunwu, the only son of Song Tianling, the head of Qingcheng, Song Yunwu, known as the left-handed sword, has already been passed on by Qingcheng, if it is about swordsmanship and martial arts, it is above Zhou Yun, and their brother and sister have doubled their power, with these two people, although his party is outnumbered, it is impossible to gain the upper hand, thinking of this, he swallowed his anger and said: " Qiao didn't dare to disturb the real person Qingxiu, but Qiao and others traveled more than 600 miles a day and night, just to intercept my young lady, if only a real person had to leave, wouldn't it be too much, and asked the real person to let Qiao go in and take a look, if there was no young lady of my family, Qiao immediately confessed and left. ”

Zhou Yun sneered in her heart, she deliberately behaved so arrogantly, just to prevent the people of the Qiao family from going in to search for people, although Qiao An lowered her voice, it was difficult to change her mind, and she said forcefully at the moment: "I don't care if you want to arrest people, or deliberately embarrass our Qingcheng, but today I categorically do not allow your Qiao family to go in and search, if it is known that my Zhou Yun's lower place was actually turned upside down by your Qiao family, how can I Qingcheng faction have face." ”

Qiao An was furious, and was about to argue with reason, but heard a young man ask curiously: "Sister, what is elopement?" This voice is neither high nor low, floating from behind the door of the nave, listening to the ears, but the words are clear.

Before Qiao An could show a puzzled look, a voice as cold as ice jade replied: "Just like you and me, without the orders of our parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the two lovers, we will conclude a mandarin alliance and run away from home, which is called elopement." ”

Hearing this, Qiao An's heart couldn't help but move, and secretly said Could it be that the woman who spoke was the young lady he wanted to pursue? But what was the matter with that young man, listening to his tone, it seemed to be even more childish than the young lady, how could such a young man be stronger than the eldest prince who was both civil and military, why would the young lady elope with him? But it's useless to think about these things, no matter what, I have found the young lady, as long as I go in and catch the lewd thief, I will complete the task assigned by the eldest prince, but I don't know if Zhou Yun will stop him.

Thinking of this, Qiao An couldn't help but look up at Zhou Yun, who knew that at a glance, Qiao An was almost stunned, only to see Zhou Yun's lonely expression, and a desolate melancholy between his eyebrows, although it was not yet twilight, but the wind was blowing outside, the clouds covered the sun, the light in the hall was dim, and the swaying flames were bright and extinguished, reflecting on Zhou Yun's flawless jade face, which was really delicate and beautiful like a flower, but it was already the season that was about to wither.
