Chapter Twenty-Five: The Hunt

Listening to the rain building, Xiao Xiaotian was stroking the piano alone, and she was thinking about what happened on the Purple Mountain today. In fact, Xiao Xiaotian didn't know why she played the piano music at that moment to buy time for Zhou Jinyu, she just felt that this person didn't deserve to die.

Xiao Xiaotian knows very well that she loves her husband Yelu Hanyan deeply. However, there is another indescribable feeling for Zhou Jinyu.

Xiao Xiaotian was surprised why Zhou Jinyu always appeared in his mind.

Yelu Hanyan was quietly watching the drizzle outside the window. At this time, he suddenly said, "I don't understand. ”

Xiao Xiaotian said: "What do you not understand?"

Yelu said with a smoke: "Why did you save him?"

Xiao Xiaotian hesitated a little, but still said: "I think he is very pitiful." ”

Yelu said with a smile: "He is the son of Zhou Qingcang and the apprentice of Zhao Bankong, I hope you don't get confused." ”

Xiao Xiaotian said: "I know, then let's find a time to kill him." ”

Yelu sneered and said, "Hmph, why don't I think you can't do it?"

Xiao Xiaotian's fingers were taken off the guqin and asked, "What do you mean?"

Yelu said with a smile: "It's nothing, don't kill him for the time being, his current kung fu is not worth my shot." ”

Xiao Xiaotian stopped talking, and the sound of the guqin slowly sounded in the mountains along with the sound of rain.

The news that Lan Gongpei, the leader of the Martial Arts League, was assassinated by Zhou Jinyu soon spread throughout the rivers and lakes. For a time, Zhou Jinyu became the target of public criticism.

The wanted people of the alliance leader's general altar are now three people: Zhou Jinyu, Yelu Hanyan, and Xiao Xiaotian. Zhou Jinyu's ranking is even more due to the current acting alliance leader Qin Lang before Yelu Hanyan.

Qin Lang ordered his cronies to let go, Zhou Jinyu was the culprit who killed the alliance leader, which can be described as a bold and heinous crime. No matter who is on the rivers and lakes, everyone will be punished.

At the same time, the main altar of the martial arts alliance posted obituaries everywhere, and anyone who killed Yelu Hanyan and Xiao Xiaotian would be rewarded with five hundred taels of gold. Those who killed Zhou Jinyu were rewarded with a reward of 1,000 taels of gold and appointed as the leader of the martial arts alliance.

Qin Langfa's wanted list was carefully considered, and now the alliance leader's general altar is completely under his control. The various factions in the rivers and lakes will never dare to openly be enemies with themselves, no accident, no matter who kills Zhou Jinyu, they will also take the credit on their own heads, and it will be logical for them to take up the position of the new leader of the martial arts alliance as the deputy leader of the alliance.

As for Lan Yaqiu, Qin Lang hadn't figured out how to deal with it yet, no matter what, he couldn't move it now. If Lan Yaqiu is moved, wouldn't he admit to the world's martial arts that he killed Lan Gongpei? Moreover, Lan Gongpei's prestige was extremely high during his lifetime, and before he sat firmly in his position, he must not let others have any suspicion.

Qin Lang is extremely scheming, and he knows all the benefits and harms of this. Therefore, since he became the acting leader of the alliance, he pacified Lan Yaqiu like his own uncle, and on the other hand, he stepped up to send people to search Yelu Hanyan and Zhou Jinyu, he wanted to kill all the witnesses as soon as possible, and he hoped that his conspiracy would never be revealed.

Seven or eight days have passed since Zhou Jinyu thought of Lan Yaqiu turning against her on the Purple Mountain, her heart ached so badly that she fainted.

At Lin Lei'er's suggestion, the Zeng brothers carried Zhou Jinyu all the way to a village forty miles away from the main altar of the Purple Mountain Alliance, where it was extremely difficult to be discovered.

Lin Lei'er's Gu technique can both kill and save people, she found a lot of wild grasses and wild insects in the mountains, or boiled soup for internal consumption or crushed external application, Zhou Jinyu has recovered most of it, and now she can take care of herself.

On this day, Zhou Jinyu was listening to the Zeng brothers tell their respective legendary stories, Zeng Yingjie said that he had a three-inch tongue, Zeng Xiaojie said that he was through the past and the present, and Zeng Sajie said that he could carry the tripod, so a lot of sky.

At this time, the dilapidated wooden door was pushed open from the outside, and it was Lin Lei'er who came back from collecting medicine, Lin Lei'er saw that Zhou Jinyu recovered very quickly, and was very happy and said: "Brother, you are finally getting better, I thought you were going to die." ”

Without waiting for Zhou Jinyu to speak, Zeng Yingjie interjected: "You doll, what are you talking about? Brother Xian has my internal strength to protect his body, how can he worry about his life?"

Lin Lei'er said: "I'm not shy, when have you injected internal strength into my brother? My brother's body has just recovered, don't talk to him all the time." ”

Zhou Jinyu said with a smile: "Haha, now it's out of the way, I can live to this day, and I really have to thank my sister and the three heroes." ”

Zeng Xiaojie said: "Brother Xian is polite, it is our duty to be a hero." ”

Lin Lei'er said: "Brother, now the rivers and lakes are looking for you, you are too dangerous here, I see that you have almost recovered now, why don't you go back to Xiangxi with me?" ”

Zhou Jinyu was very sad when she thought that she had fallen into such a situation, and sighed and said: "Thank you sister for your kindness, but I haven't avenged my revenge, and I still need to go to Suzhou to do something important." ”

Lin Lei'er asked, "What else is important in Suzhou?"

Zhou Jinyu said: "Since Taiyuan went south, everything has not gone well, and I have not avenged my revenge for the time being, at least I have to find my friend." ”

Lin Lei'er was about to ask again, when suddenly, the two dilapidated door panels flew in from the outside, crashing into the wall and falling apart, and the room suddenly became a miasma.

The Zeng brothers were frightened, and they got on the kang one after another and hid behind Zhou Jinyu. Zhou Jinyu was not small, but his only helper now was this Zeng brother, so he had to explain Lin Lei'er to Zeng Yingjie, and he carried a sword to protect them in front of them.

Four masked men came in one after another from outside the door, each carrying a bright and flickering simple knife in their hands, making the originally small room even more crowded.

The four Pu Dao men stood still, their eyes showing fierce light, staring at Zhou Jinyu viciously. There was another person behind them, burly and tall, with a strong physique, and two hands that had been deformed and blackened by the cultivation of iron sand palms hung down under his waist, it was the left protector of the alliance leader's altar.

Yuan Tao glanced at the humble hut and said in a deep voice: "Hmph, kill them all for me, and leave no one behind." ”

The four Pu Dao men got the order and rushed up, and the four Pu Dao attacked Zhou Jinyu from all sides. Zhou Jinyu was more than enough to deal with these ordinary swordsmen, and the long sword was injected with internal force, and the four simple knives had been cut off within a few moves.

Yuan Tao shouted angrily: "Waste!"

After that, the long sleeves were puffed up by the internal strength, the toes were on the ground, and the hand grabbed Zhou Jinyu's throat like an iron claw. Zhou Jinyu saw that the comer was not good, so he swept out with a move of 'autumn wind sweeping leaves', wanting to use the length of the weapon to strike first.

Unexpectedly, this Yuan Tao's hand was already invulnerable, and he regarded the long sword as nothing, and actually held Zhou Jinyu's sword firmly in his hand. Zhou Jinyu hurriedly used a wave of internal strength and drew his sword outward, trying to break free from the iron claws.

In a hurry, Zhou Jinyu forgot that the sword wound on her body had not healed. Suddenly carried the internal force, but the wound was torn again, and the sword wound in the chest that was stabbed by Lan Yaqiu was extremely deep and reached the heart, and it was directly bleeding.

Zhou Jinyu's arm was weak, and Yuan Tao directly threw the long sword against the adobe wall mixed with mud and grass. Yuan Tao's strength was so great that the long sword actually chiseled through the wall and trapped it in it.

Zhou Jinyu only felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he was about to vomit blood, and when he saw Yuan Tao's iron claws attacking, he stretched out his hand to block, but his arms were so weak that he couldn't do anything. Zhou Jinyu's chest was inserted straight into the five fingers of the iron claw, and the pain was so painful that he almost fainted.

Yuan Tao's iron arm waved back, and Zhou Jinyu flew straight out, only to feel that the sword wound on his chest was torn off with a belt, and when he landed and looked again, his left chest was already a blur of flesh and blood...
