According to Han Bing's original plan to break out, after defeating the enemies in the temple, he rushed out of the back gate of Jishiji Temple, and then immediately retreated to the east.

The reason why he chose to retreat to the east was because it was exactly the opposite direction of returning to Jingyang City, and it would definitely surprise the other party.

In the other party's expectations, Han Bing didn't know that they had set up an ambush outside the temple to attack and kill him, so he would naturally return to Jingyang the same way as he was unprepared.

Therefore, they will definitely put most of their forces on the road leading to Jingyang, and in turn, they will relax the encirclement of the other three directions.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the design of the eastward breakthrough. It can even be said that this should be the most reasonable way for Han Bing to break through at present.

However, he didn't end up doing it this way.

The reason is that he has completely given up the idea of breaking through, so he walked out from the main gate of Jishi Temple in a grand manner.

At this moment, Han Bing was sitting cross-legged on the high bluestone steps outside the gate of Jishi Temple.

While he was secretly breathing, trying to recover as soon as possible the internal strength that had been consumed by Fang Cai's fierce fight, he was also waiting, waiting for the countless swords that were about to come to him, or - an opportunity.

Time was slowly passing, and there was less than half an hour left.

And in the face of the cold ice that the Endless Pill was about to attack, he still sat there very calmly, as if he had been infected by the pure land of Buddhism in Jishi Temple, and had entered meditation.

After another moment, a person slowly walked out of the darkness on the opposite side, climbed the bluestone steps step by step, and finally stood in front of the cold ice.

Han Bing didn't stand up, but looked up at the man and gave him an extremely bright smile.

Because, he finally waited for the only opportunity - Gu Ning.

Gu Ning, the new deputy leader of the Loyalty League. Because he has not yet found a suitable candidate to replace him, he, the deputy alliance leader, continues to serve as the Xingyun Hall master who is in charge of sniping operations.

Yes, what Han Bing gambled on was that the person who was ambushed outside the temple at the moment was not a master of Ouchi, but the killer of the Xingyun Hall of the Loyal Alliance, and the person who led the team was still Gu Ning.

His gambling method is like betting on the size of the dice, but only betting on the leopard that he rolls with a six.

And in this game, he really let him, a wayward teenager, win the bet!

But then again, the reason for winning this game is not so much because of cold ice's luck, but because of his good calculations.

And his magic calculation came from the inspiration of Fang Cai and the two masters hiding in the tree, when they were fighting for life and death.

At that time, the two of them swooped down from the tree, and for some reason, the picture of Gu Ning flying down from the Invitation Moon Tower and killing the Tianxiang Sect in one fell swoop suddenly flashed in Han Bing's mind.

Then there was a flash of inspiration, and it suddenly occurred to him that the person who was ambushed outside the Jishi Temple at this time should not be a master of the Great Interior, but the person he and Haoxing Mingrui originally expected - the people of the Loyalty Alliance!

It's an easy thing to think of, and it's for a very simple reason. That is, it is possible for Zheng Yong to deliberately delay the emperor's will to the Zhongyi Alliance, but it is impossible to delay the actions of those Ouchi masters who do not completely obey his command.

However, before that, Han Bing's mind had been busy planning how to get rid of the enemies inside the temple, and he didn't have too much energy to think about the enemies outside the temple, so he ignored such an obvious fact.

However, even if he had thought of it later, and could be completely sure, the ambush outside the temple was the killer of the Xingyun Hall of the Loyal Alliance. But there was one thing he still couldn't be sure of. That is, the person who is leading these Xingyuntang killers at this moment is Gu Ning or not.

If the person who was the leader was not Gu Ning, then he would most likely strictly implement Xue Youyou's order, not giving Han Bing any chance to speak at all, and directly leading people to rush up and make a move.

But if it was Gu Ning who led the team, he would probably have his own ideas and take what he thought was the right action. Moreover, Gu Ning finally recognized Han Bing, thinking that he would give him a chance to clarify the misunderstanding.

Therefore, although everything has been calculated very clearly, Han Bing is actually still gambling, betting on the only chance - Gu Ning.

Fortunately, this time he won the bet!

Seeing the extremely bright smile on Han Bing's face at first glance, Gu Ning was stunned for a moment, and a complex taste surged in his heart that he didn't know how many different emotions were mixed together.

In fact, from the moment he received Xue Youyou's order to take people away, Gu Ning's heart had always been full of doubts.

The emperor said in the secret decree that he had found out that the parting arrow was going to steal the Buddha relics of the late abbot Master Huijue of Jishi Temple, and also intended to assassinate the current abbot Master Huinian to avenge the destruction of the Tibetan Stream Valley that year. Therefore, the Loyal and Righteous League immediately sent people to set up an ambush outside Jishi Temple to kill this thief in one fell swoop.

But the decree came very late, and there were less than two hours left before the time of the execution.

Excluding the time required for the journey, the people of the Loyal Alliance could not follow the normal sniping steps and complete the ambush and control outside the Jishi Temple at least an hour earlier than the scheduled time of action.

Therefore, Xue Youyou didn't have a chance to think about it at all, so he made the decision that Gu Ning personally led the killers of Xingyun Hall to rush to Jishi Temple immediately and ambush the parting arrow.

It stands to reason that the emperor's will is clearly written, and Xue Youyou's order is also impeccable, but Gu Ning just feels that there is a huge problem in this.

And where the question is, he can't give a clear answer for a while, and can only see it as a killer's instinct.

As a killer, he will naturally have a strong sense and cognition of his own kind.

Although he was still not completely sure, the masked man he saw in the Yuelai Inn that day was a parting arrow or not. But he still has a feeling that whether it is the masked man that day or the legendary parting arrow, it should be a kind of person like him-

You can kill people ruthlessly, but you will never do something as despicable and shameless as snatching the Buddha relics of the abbot of Huijue.

However, no matter how suspicious Gu Ning had in his heart about this killing operation, he did not dare to openly raise any doubts about it.

After all, the emperor's secret decree is clearly written, and the order of the Lord of the Snow Alliance is also clearly and clearly issued - to kill the parting arrow.

Therefore, after arriving at Jishi Temple, Gu Ning still followed the consistent principle of action of Xingyun Hall, and ambushed all his men in various hidden places outside the temple, and surrounded the entire temple from all directions like an iron bucket, impermeable.

And the side of the temple gate facing the direction of Jingyang City is also the road where the parting arrow is most likely to appear, of course, Gu Ning himself must be in charge.

In addition, he also issued a temporary order to capture the parting arrows alive as much as possible.

To the ears of those Xingyuntang killers who had always fought to kill the enemy with one move, Gu Ning's order was indeed a little unusual. But they had long been accustomed to obeying the ruthless and decisive king of killers, and no one even raised any objections to this.

However, just after all of them had been waiting in the dark for nearly an hour, the legendary parting arrow still did not appear, but there was a sudden unusual movement in the Jishi Temple behind them, and a few screams belonging to humans were faintly heard.

Gu Ningdang was shocked into a cold sweat!

Why did the enemy who had been waiting for him suddenly appear inside the temple? How did he unknowingly break through the ambush circle he had set up, or did he infiltrate the temple long before he had set up the ambush circle?

In addition to being surprised and inexplicable, Gu Ning still showed the calmness unique to his killer king, and did not immediately order action.

Because he couldn't determine at this time whether the temple had broken into a foreign enemy, and whether that foreign enemy was a parting arrow.

Moreover, even if it has been determined that it was really the parting arrow that broke into the temple, Gu Ning still has a question that needs to be considered urgently - which is more important, saving people or killing the enemy?

If you directly lead people into the temple, you may be able to rescue Master Huinian who may be in danger. But maybe it will be like the last time Zuo Yusong was assassinated, so that the perpetrators can take advantage of the chaos.

On the contrary, if you continue to brake statically, you can ensure that the perpetrator will eventually be caught, but it is difficult to guarantee the safety of Master Hui Nian.

Thinking of Master Huinian's safety, Gu Ning immediately no longer hesitated, and decided to lead a few of his right-hand men into the temple to check the situation first.

However, his decision was significantly late.

I saw that the closed door of Jishi Temple suddenly opened, and a person walked out of it in such a big stride.

The first time he saw the tall and thin black shadow, Gu Ning almost decided that he was the masked man he saw that night.

But who is the masked man? or is it an accomplice of the parting arrow?

Could it be that what the emperor said in his secret decree is all true, and the parting arrow really came to seek revenge from Jishi Temple?

But why is it so quiet in the temple at this moment? Moreover, although the sound in the temple is noisy, there is absolutely no sound of arrows whistling.

Since it was difficult to make an accurate judgment on the situation in front of him for a while, Gu Ning decided to brake quietly and observe patiently for a while.

However, his decision was significantly late.

As soon as he thought of braking quietly, the other party didn't move first.

And as soon as he thought of observing the other party, the man sat down slowly, as if giving him enough time to observe. But after such a distance, and in the dark, he couldn't see everything about the other party clearly.

It seems that the man had long known that there was an ambush outside Jishi Temple, so he was reluctant to step into this ambush circle. But if it drags on like this, it shouldn't do him any good. When the day dawns, isn't he even more hidden?

But what if he's not procrastinating? What was he waiting for? or some helper?

Thinking of this, Gu Ning finally stopped hesitating and decided to personally meet this mysterious person who behaved strangely and was unexpected everywhere.

So, he mustered up his courage, made a strong gesture, and walked in front of the man step by step.

And just when he thought that he could finally see the true face of the parting arrow, he saw a big smiling face that belonged to cold ice!
