Ji Ruchen took Qiongniang's mother and son out of the city, and soon came to the foot of Lingshi Mountain. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Just as they were about to go up the mountain, a very slight sound suddenly came from not far away, which immediately aroused Ji Ruchen's vigilance. His sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, glanced at a dense forest on the left, and after hesitating for a moment, he untied his backpack and handed it to Qiongniang, and then carried Ah Yang on his back and walked towards the mountain road first.

He didn't go straight to the stone cave where the Qin Yi people were hiding in the back mountain, but first went to the bamboo house near the back mountain. When he was still some distance away from the bamboo house, he suddenly stopped, slowly put Ah Yang off his back, and at the same time raised his hand to signal Qiongniang's mother and son not to make a sound.

Then, he quietly approached the bamboo house, stood outside the door and listened for a while, and suddenly kicked open the bamboo door, which was not closed too tightly, and rushed in.

But in a moment, his figure reappeared at the door, and beckoned Qiongniang's mother and son to enter.

As soon as she entered the house, Qiong Niang saw two black-clothed people lying on the floor of the house, and it seemed that they were lifeless. She asked in a panic, "Who are they?"

"The people of the Loyal Alliance. Ji Ruchen leaned down, picked up a corpse in one hand, went to the back room, and then turned back empty-handed, showing a comforting smile to Qiongniang, "Don't be afraid, there are no more of them around here." ”

At this time, the bright moon was shining, and the moonlight passed through the front window of the bamboo house, reflecting Qiongniang's face as pale as snow.

"How did the people of the Loyal Alliance find this place?"

Ji Ruchen stepped forward and grabbed Qiongniang's hand, asked her to sit down on the edge of the bed, and said to her in a very slow tone: "Qiongniang, you listen to me." The men of the Loyal Alliance had already surrounded the mountain, and they had just laid an ambush on their men at the foot of the mountain. We now have no way out, and only by breaking through the cliffs of the back mountains can we get rid of them completely. You and Ayan stay here first, it should be safe for the time being. ”

Seeing Ji Ruchen get up to leave, Qiong Niang couldn't help but grab his arm, "Are you going to find Miss Qin?" I'm afraid that she has now fallen into the hands of the Loyalty and Righteousness League, can you deal with so many people alone?"

"The people of the Loyal Alliance should have just started to search the mountains, so the manpower is scattered and easy to deal with. Ji Ruchen patted Qiongniang's hand comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, Qiongniang, you and Ah Yang will prepare the rope for going down the mountain, and after I bring Miss Qin back, we will go down the mountain through the secret passage behind the house." ”

Qiongniang bit her lip, finally let go of Ji Ruchen's arm, and said softly: "Then you go and come back quickly, Ah Yang and I are waiting for you here." ”

Ji Ruchen smiled at her, turned around and strode out of the bamboo house.

........................................................................................................................

Coming to the stone cave where Qin Yiren was hiding, Ji Ruchen stopped and stood there quietly, without any intention of going in.

"Brother Ji, Gong Yan is here, why don't you come in and talk?" Gong Yan's voice came from the stone cave.

Ji Ruchen's eyes flashed, and then he laughed and said, "The palace guards are really good, they actually recognized the identity of the subordinates so quickly!"

As he spoke, he strode into the cave.

When Gong Yan saw him come in, he also laughed, and actually removed the long sword that was originally on Qin Yiren's neck, and at the same time pushed her with her hands tied to the ground.

With the power of the parting arrow, if you shoot at this moment, you have a great chance to shoot Miyahiko in one fell swoop. However, the strange thing is that Ji Ruchen watched Gong Yan's every move so silently, without the slightest intention of making a move.

"Brother Ji is really determined! Seeing such a good opportunity to save people, he can let it go so easily!" Gong Yan's words were filled with sincere admiration.

Ji Ruchen just smiled indifferently, "The palace guards are scheming, knowing that the opponent is me Ji Ruchen, how could they make such a stupid mistake in front of me and leave me a chance to save people?"

Gong Yan smiled and nodded, "Brother Ji is really a winner! In fact, Brother Ji's scheming is not bad, he has been dormant in this remote county for many years, and has done dozens of murder cases, but he has never been noticed by the people around him. What's more, these people around you are all veterans of handling cases, which is a great irony!"

"With this little bit of scheming, I'm afraid it's not in time for the palace guards! Otherwise, how could I fall into the trap laid by the palace guards today?"

"No, no, no! Don't hide it from Brother Ji, I've been deceived by you so hard! I actually treat you, a dangerous person, as a powerful helper, and take it with me all day long. Even now that I think about it, I can't help but break out in a cold sweat!"

"Oh, so it's not the palace guards that you found out my identity?"

"The person who discovered Brother Ji's identity is indeed me, but it's not that I have a unique eye and directly see through your disguise, but just a coincidence! The person who told me the mystery was your friend Liu Zhutou, who inadvertently mentioned your origin to me. ”

Ji Ruchen immediately understood. Of course, the people of the Loyal Alliance knew the origin of the parting arrow, and they should also know exactly what happened in the Tibetan Valley twelve years ago. Since Gong Yan heard from Liu Zhutou about his injury and rescue, with this person's shrewdness, as long as he calculates a little from the time, he will naturally associate himself with the Tibetan Stream Valley.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think about it for a while, and asked: "Since the palace guards have already had a chance of winning, they didn't go to my house to arrest people, but instead waited for me to appear on this mountain that couldn't trap people at all, so they must have something else in mind, right?"

"Brother Ji is really quick-witted!" Gong Yan nodded, and then smiled slightly, "Actually, I should call you Brother Ling now, but I don't know if Brother Ling's real name can be sought?"

"Abandon the feather under the Ling. Ji Ruchen clenched his fists, and his bright eyes stared at Gong Yan tightly, "The palace guards are so fearless to chat with me here, presumably your accomplices have caught Qiongniang's mother and son." What are you going to do?

"Brother Ling guessed right, Qiongniang's mother and son have indeed fallen into my hands. And I didn't bring you here today to hurt them, including this Qin girl, I have no hostility towards them in the slightest. In fact, my only purpose in doing this is to have a good talk with Brother Ling, and if the result is satisfactory, I will release them immediately, and even promise Brother Ling to send them out of Yuguo safely. ”

Gong Yan's attitude when he said this seemed to be extremely sincere, not as if he was deliberately falsifying, and at this moment, he had the upper hand, so there was really no need to coax him.

Ling Qiyu, who had regained his real name, stared at him for a long time and asked coldly, "I wonder what the palace guards want to talk to Ling?"

"I would like to ask Brother Ling to accompany me to the north, because there is someone there who wants to meet you. ”

Ling Qiyu couldn't help but be stunned, then raised his eyebrows, and said, "It turns out that you are actually a northerner! The person who wants to see me must be a solo smile?"

At this time, Gong Yan was also stunned, and couldn't help but secretly have suspicions-

Although the Master had instructed that the man who would make the parting arrow be brought to him, he did not say the exact identity of the person. I thought that the master was just going for the parting arrow, but now it seems that what the master really wants to see is this Ling Qiyu, and the parting arrow is just a clue to identify him. Moreover, judging from the fact that Ling Qiyu opened his mouth and called out the name of the master, there should be some kind of special relationship between him and the master.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a closer look at the parting arrow Ling Qiyu in front of him, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, but he made a frank look on his face, and said, "Brother Ling guessed well, it is indeed the family teacher who wants to see you, so he ordered me to come here to invite." ”

Ling Qiyu smiled coldly and said, "Looking at your expression, I don't know why Duxiaoqiong wants to see me." Unfortunately, I didn't want to see him at all!"

Gong Yan also smiled, "I'm afraid this can't be done by Brother Ling!, unless you are really willing to spare the lives of Qiongniang's mother and son and this Qin girl." ”

"What if you can't give up? Do you think I really believe that you will let them go? Not to mention whether you have the idea of letting them go in your heart, how can you easily let go of the hermits they swore to arrest those who are guarding the mountain?

Although you are nominally the envoy sent by the Helmsman with full authority to deal with this matter, in this capacity alone, you should not be able to cover the sky with one hand. Besides, you don't want to reveal your identity as a northerner in front of them, do you?"

"It was because I knew that I couldn't cover the sky with one hand, so I left those people of the Loyal Alliance at the bottom of the mountain, and only took two people up the mountain. ”

"It turns out that the two people in the bamboo house were deliberately arranged by you, which made me mistakenly think that after clearing them, the bamboo house is still safe for the time being, so I can rest assured that Qiongniang's mother and son will be left there. And your real accomplice has been hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity to move, and after I left, I caught Qiongniang's mother and son. ”

And so it is. And before that, I had found the rope in the bamboo house, and I had found the secret passage down the mountain, so it can be said that I had already known Brother Ling's plan to escape this time, so I laid a trap here, waited for the rabbit, and waited for you to vote. ”

Ling Qiyu raised his eyebrows, didn't say anything, and waited for Gong Yan to finish everything he had to say.

"As for the people of the Loyal Alliance who were ambushed at the foot of the mountain, they were all Han Rui's subordinates, and they had all seen this Qin girl, and it was really a big disaster to stay. So I specially brought them here to get rid of them in one fell swoop, and to express my sincerity to Brother Ling.

As long as Brother Ling agrees to go with me to see the family teacher, we can go down the mountain now, first solve those people who are loyal to the Righteous Alliance, and then escort Qiongniang's mother and son and Miss Qin out of the Dayu border together. After they reach a safe place, Brother Ling will join me in the north again. With two birds with one stone, I don't know what Brother Ling wants?"

Knowing that he had no choice at this time, Ling Qiyu nodded happily and said, "If I see that Qiongniang's mother and son are safe and sound, I will promise to go with you to see Duxiaoqiong." ”
