"Just ...... The person who came to the county government just now was...... Who is ?......" Guan Xianye looked panicked, as if he was very afraid that someone would come to the door.

"A young man, what is the imperial court sent by the guard, if you have something to ask the lord for something, you ......" The guard reported 1510, "I have never heard the lord mention anything about the imperial court patrol, and he came alone, I don't know if it is true or not......"

"Whoever he is, these ...... It's not important anymore......" Guan County's expression was very frightened, as if he was very afraid of something, carrying a bag of luggage, hurriedly preparing to leave the yamen, trembling and said, "Lord Cheng was killed, I have to leave quickly, otherwise I ...... Otherwise, the next person to be killed will be me......"

It turned out that Guan Xianye was worried that he would end up with the same fate as Cheng Yingquan and be brutally killed by the people of the "Mingfu Sect". It's just that no one knows why he is so afraid of the "Mingfu Sect" and holds some unknown secrets in his hands.

"But sir, this town is located in the middle of nowhere, and there is no other suitable hiding place outside the town, even if you hide, sir, where can you hide?" the guard said worriedly.

"In the countryside, in the villages, as long as you can stay away from the town for a while and escape the pursuit of the 'Mingfu Sect', you ......can do it anywhere," Guan Xianye trembled, and then said "Inspiration", "By the way, go to the back mountain, where there used to be a cave where I used to hide treasures...... If you go to that place and hide for a few days, the people of the 'Mingfu Sect' will definitely not find ......."

"That's without further ado, let's go quickly, sir-" The guard looked even more impatient than the county lord, ready to open the door and leave immediately.

"Wait-" Suddenly, Lord Guan called the guards.

"What's the matter, sir?" the guard asked, turning around.

"We can't just go out so blatantly and let others see it, we have to guard against it......" Guan Xianye thought about it, cringed and lowered his eyebrows and whispered, "You go secretly first to see if there is anyone ...... outside"

"Yes, sir......" The guard nodded after hearing this, and "thief's eyebrows" touched the door, and quietly opened a crack.

"Squeak-" The gate was hidden, and the guards looked out, but saw that the entrance of the county yamen was empty in broad daylight, and even Sun Yun, who had just "come to visit", was nowhere to be seen at this time.

Seeing that it was an opportunity, the guard whispered to the county lord behind him: "Master, there is no one outside, now is a good opportunity......"

Guan County Master secretly rejoiced when he heard this, so he carried his baggage and the guards together, and left the county office "secretly", taking advantage of the fact that there was no one at the crossing, the two of them carried large bags and small bags, and hurried to the direction of the back.

However, this scene still makes people see......

From the stone pillar in the corner of the wall, a figure suddenly glimpsed out - it was Sun Yun, who was rejected by the guards in the yali just now, Sun Yun felt that something was wrong, and wanted to hide aside to see what the reason was, but he didn't expect to see the county lord of the yamen fleeing in panic, and the fool could see that he looked like he was fleeing.

"It's strange, it was Lord Cheng who was killed last night, and it has nothing to do with the county government, why did the county lord escape......" Sun Yun was puzzled in his mind, and he couldn't figure it out, "Could it be that there is another hidden story behind all this......"

Sun Yun felt that there was a reason for the incident, and the fire that broke out last night must be related to the vision he saw today. Thinking in his heart, Sun Yun decided to quietly follow behind for the time being, to see where the county master was going and what his actions were......

On the other hand, in order to investigate the suspected case of "Mingfu Sect", Qi Xueyin left the inn without authorization behind Ren Guang and others, and came to the location of the fire last night alone......

It had been burned to the ground, the bodies of the dead were gone, leaving behind endless wreckage of houses and wisps of black smoke that had not dispersed overnight.

The people in the town only knew about last night's fire, but they had no intention, or feared the atrocities of the "Ming Fu Sect," and they did not dare to approach the "scene of the crime" the next day.

However, this also happened to provide convenience for Qi Xueyin, seeing that there was no one around, Qi Xueyin walked into the "ruined building" for a moment.

It's just that Qi Xueyin didn't know that there was another person who quietly followed and kept secretly watching him......

"Sister Qi......" came with the cuckoo, and the moment the residence "parted", it felt wrong, and the cuckoo also boldly decided to tell a lie, and secretly followed Qi Xueyin out of the inn to see where she wanted to go - but she didn't want Qi Xueyin to come to the "fire scene" last night, Du Juan also understood Qi Xueyin's same wishes as Sun Yun at that moment, and secretly hid in the corner of the alley opposite the ruins, silently observing her every move, and did not dare to show up rashly......

Qi Xueyin would never have thought that Du Juan, who had inconvenient legs and feet and had always been well-behaved and obedient, would take such a big "risk" to follow him, and his attention was completely on the fire case and the "Ming Fu Sect".

"According to the results of last night's investigation, the reason for the 'Ming Fu Sect' to kill Master Cheng is nothing more than to cut off the fortification construction of the armament post in Luozhuang......" Qi Xueyin squatted in one of the ruins, looked at the corners of the ruins, and muttered, "But if you want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots and determine the killing of a target, you only need to assassinate it, it is more than enough for those guys, is it necessary to deliberately set fire to make such a big noise......?"

Thinking of the incomprehensible doubts, Qi Xueyin walked to the depths of the corner where the black smoke had not dispersed, looked at the messy "remains", and couldn't help sighing: "It's so cruel, the whole house was burned to the end, and Lord Cheng's family, old and young, were all burned alive......"

However, after muttering a few words, Qi Xueyin seemed to have thought of something, and said with a stunned expression: "Wait a minute, the fire is burning so thoroughly, is it going to destroy some important objects?"

Qi Xueyin took a few steps out, as if she had found a key clue, and shook her head to look around......

The cuckoo here, watching Qi Xueyin walk into the depths of the ruins, came out of the streets and alleys with courage, hid near the closer stone stake with a cane, and continued to secretly "monitor" Qi Xueyin's every move......

Qi Xueyin hadn't discovered the cuckoo yet, and continued to immerse herself in the thinking of the mysterious case.

"If you want to burn the object, it means that they didn't get such a thing, and they know that it is likely to be in the hands of Master Cheng, so they simply set fire to everything and burn everything to ashes...... Qi Xueyin continued to analyze secretly, "However, even if you do this, you can't guarantee that it will be burned...... If that's the case, they're going to do something about it — but the question is, if that's true, what the hell is it, and where is it going to ......"

Qi Xueyin thought as she raised her head and looked in a farther direction.

"This is a premeditated operation, arson at night must have caused a lot of alarm, there are many followers of the 'Mingfu Sect', they must be ready to retreat, they can leave the scene as soon as possible after the murder, and not be intercepted by the people of the government...... But in this barren mountain and wild town, where can they escape to?" Confused, Qi Xueyin set his eyes on the mountains and forests behind the ruins - from the end of the ruins along the corner, there was a narrow road leading directly to the mountain, Qi Xueyin saw it, and couldn't help but secretly say, "Could it be the back mountain?" If I'm not mistaken, maybe the guys from the 'Mingfu Sect' are hiding on this mountain now, waiting for the opportunity to prepare for the next round of action......"

Qi Xueyin tied the "purple tooth knife" around her waist, and seemed to be bold, wanting to go up the mountain alone to find the whereabouts of the "Mingfu Sect" disciples - how to say that he had fought with these guys in Luozhuang, he had a certain understanding of them, and the poisonous injuries on his body had almost recovered, Qi Xueyin had no fear at all.

And the cuckoo, who was secretly watching from behind, watched Qi Xueyin staring at the back mountain, and wanted to go up the mountain to search, so he also calmed down and prepared to go with him.

However, his heart was slightly excited, and he almost revealed his position, and there was a breaking sound under his feet......

"Huh?" Qi Xueyin seemed to be aware of it, and there seemed to be movement behind her, so she couldn't help but look back for a while.

Only then did the cuckoo react, startled, and curled up in the corner of the stone pillar with a cane, trying not to let Qi Xueyin find out.

And Qi Xueyin really didn't see the shadow of the cuckoo for the first time......

"It's strange, I always feel that someone is following behind, could it be that I heard it wrong......" Qi Xueyin didn't dare to be sure whether her intuition was accurate, but at present, she didn't have time to continue to consume it here, so she simply rolled her eyes and thought of an idea, pretending not to see it, and turned around and slowly walked in the direction of the hillside.

The cuckoo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that he was not "detected". But when he looked up again, he saw that Qi Xueyin had already walked in the direction of the mountain.

"Sister Qi wants to go up the mountain, should it be ...... Let's go to the mountains alone to find the trace of the 'Mingfu Sect'......" The cuckoo thought that it would be dangerous, and couldn't help but secretly say, "No, Sister Qi is too dangerous alone, I have to follow......"

Thinking of the danger of the other party, Du Juan didn't take into account that his legs and feet were inconvenient and he didn't know martial arts - he was only worried about Qi Xueyin's safety, but he didn't care about himself, he usually looked like a good girl, and he was hard to take this kind of adventure.

Simply, the cuckoo also held his head iron, and continued to follow behind on crutches, even if it was a rugged and difficult mountain road - this is the character of the cuckoo, under the weak appearance, there is a heart that is stronger than anyone else......

At this moment, Guan Xianye and the two guards were already carrying a large bag of luggage and climbed up the cave in the back mountain out of breath......

"Hey...... Well...... It's time to arrive...... Uh-" Guan Xianye climbed up the slope and sweated profusely, as if he saw the end of victory, pointed to a hidden cave in front of him, and gasped, "That place ...... It's the 'warehouse' where the official used to hide treasures, and if you hide in it for a few days, you will definitely be able to avoid the eyes and ears of the guys from the 'Mingfu Sect'......"

"County master...... It's ......" the guard helped carry the package, and also panted, "but the county lord, here...... It's true...... Is it safe?"

"Needless to say, no one in the town knows about this place but me...... Not to mention those 'Mingfujiao' thugs......" Guan Xianye took out a drawing-like thing from his waist and said angrily, "It's all this thing that is to blame, if it weren't for Cheng Yingquan's guy who gave me this thing, I wouldn't have been targeted by the 'Mingfujiao' last night...... Really, you said he would die, why did you give me this scourge thing......"

That drawing seems to hide a crucial secret, which is inseparable from the dead Cheng Yingquan and the "Ming Fujiao".

"Since this drawing is a 'calamity', then sir, you ...... Why do you still have it with you, and if you just lose it, it's over......," the guard asked tightly.

"You stupid, now that Master Cheng is dead, the guys in the 'Mingfu Sect' all guess that this thing is in my hands, even if I lose it, they don't know, they will still point the finger at me......" Guan Xianye whispered angrily, knocked on the guard's head, and said with a vent, "Besides, I still use this thing in my hand...... This thing is a confidential heavy item related to the imperial court, this official is now being hunted down by the 'Ming Fu Sect', if there is a chance to escape from here, I can also use this thing to seek refuge in the imperial court......"

"Yes, yes...... What the old man said was......" The guards didn't dare to refute on the side, so they had to bow their heads vigorously in response......

"Sand ...... ......However, while the two were talking, there was a sound of grass moving on the side of the hill - and other people followed......

"Sir, there is ...... Yes...... Yes...... Someone ......" The guards were extremely nervous when they heard this, thinking that the people from the "Mingfu Sect" were chasing here, and said in a trembling voice.

"Stupid, you look like this, do you want them to find out about us......" Guan Xianye was much calmer than the guards at this time, and quietly reproached, so he grabbed him and said, "I wonder it's someone from the 'Mingfu Sect'...... Let's go and hide in the cave first......"

So, the two of them quietly, dragging their bags and luggage quickly into the side of the grass, the "shelter" that Guan Xianye had arranged in advance......

"Rustle...... Sand-" The grass is louder and louder, and the figure of the person going up the mountain is becoming clearer and clearer, and when I look through the dense forest, it is actually Qi Xueyin.

It turned out that Qi Xueyin suspected that the back mountain she climbed was the mountain where the county lord of the town was hiding, but she didn't know that someone had come here in advance - Qi Xueyin's purpose in coming here was entirely to find the "Mingfu Sect" disciples who might be hiding here......

"It's strange, I heard someone talking here just now...... Qi Xueyin has always been sensitive, but she can't see anyone alive or dead, so she can't help but look at herself secretly, "Really, I felt that someone was following me at the bottom of the mountain just now, and now when I go up the mountain, I feel that someone has come here in advance...... I'm here to find out the whereabouts of the 'Mingfu Sect' gang, but how do I feel that there are always strange guys around......"

In fact, Qi Xueyin did not guess wrong, in front of and behind her, there were people "surrounding" her.

Du Juan is one of them, she has inconvenient legs and feet, while trying to hide her body, she closely follows Qi Xueyin's steps, and it took a lot of strength to climb the mountain. However, climbing here in the dense forest, the slightest movement will be noticed, and the cuckoo saw Qi Xueyin's figure, and did not dare to take a step forward at will.

"Sister Qi came to this place, what do you want to do......" The cuckoo crouched in the corner of the rock, silently wondering......
