In the dark and dense forest of Tiangong Mountain, the officers and soldiers who extinguished the torches are still fleeing......

The leader of the officers and soldiers brought his subordinates to a fork in the mountain road, and the Mengyuan officers and soldiers who were not very familiar with Tiangong Mountain were fleeing down the mountain in a disorderly manner, so they naturally did not recognize the way. It's dark again, and Huang Ji is chasing after him, so he can't tell the difference and doesn't have time to stop and think.

"Boss, what should I do?" said the officers and soldiers behind him a little anxiously.

The leader of the officers and soldiers was also extremely nervous, thinking that the brocade box in his hand was important, so he ordered: "All of you, go around the road on the left, and I will go to the right-"

"Boss, is it okay for you to walk this road alone?" said the officer and soldier worriedly.

"Don't worry, there are many of you and the goal is big, and the people behind will definitely chase to the left when they see it......," said the leader of the officers and soldiers, "Now all of our lives are on this brocade box, and we must not lose them." It's safer for me to escape through the dark passage alone......"

"Okay, sir, we'll listen to you...... Brothers, go along—" the officer agreed, and then echoed the brothers behind him.

After a while, the soldiers finished dividing into two roads, and many Mengyuan soldiers dragged their weapons and iron armor to the left mountain road and dirt road, while the leader of the officers and soldiers continued to go down the mountain road to the right with a brocade box.

Now that the beggars have come out to stir up the situation, their own men are not the opponents of the beggars, and others are chasing after them, so that their subordinates will be attracted by their huge targets, and they will be able to escape and descend the mountain more safely. Of course. He didn't lie to his subordinates, and the brocade box in his hand now was indeed a very important thing, and it was about the lives of all the court officials and soldiers in Juming City. Never fall into the hands of others......

The officers and soldiers who were left behind by their leaders did not think much about it, afraid that the people behind would catch up, they did not stop along the way, and did not run for a while, when the people in the front row suddenly found that there seemed to be a dilapidated temple in front of the mountain road.

"Look, there's a temple over there—" someone shouted.

But I think there may be people chasing after me. All the soldiers did not dare to relax. But no matter how afraid they are to run away, the human body is limited after all, and many soldiers run so hard that their legs are weak. As soon as I heard that there was a temple in front of me, I wanted to immediately fall into the temple and take a good rest.

"After ...... There is still ...... in the back Are there any pursuers?" and soon, among the crowds. A panting soldier crossed his waist with one hand. He asked, raising one hand.

"Good...... It seems that there is no ...... "The rest of the people might as well let it go, all of them were weak as if they had broken their muscles and bones, and they almost fell to the ground."

"What would we run without us?" another person complained, "Anyway, today's affairs are complicated, and the main responsibility is also the leader, so what do we have to worry about? Since there is no one to chase us, we have run so many mountain roads in vain, and our legs are numb." How many buddies don't want to go to the temple in front of you to rest?"

One member of the team was discouraged, and the others were lazy. Thinking that there was a resting place in front of them, everyone used their last strength to speed up to the temple gate.

"Quanwang Temple?" A soldier in front of him looked up at the few big characters on the plaque on the temple, and said word by word, "What kind of broken place is this? I have been a soldier here for so many years, and I never knew that there was such a thing on Tiangong Mountain......

"Whatever, just have a place to rest, you still want to know what's going on with the historical ancestral grave? I'm dying of exhaustion, if you don't go in, don't get in the way at the door-" The man behind shouted.

As soon as they said that they would rest, all the people rushed into the temple and then they all fell to the ground - they were too tired to do it.

The inside of the temple is dilapidated, full of broken Buddha statues and dusty cobwebs. At first, the soldiers came in tired and complained, but when they recovered a little, they got up and looked up, but they felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"This ...... Why is this so eerie?" said one of the soldiers, shuddering.

Immediately afterwards, a biting cold wind blew through the night, swinging the crumbling cobwebs on the broken door frame, making a chilling "whoosh-" sound, giving people an infinitely terrifying reverie.

"It's so cold......," the soldier shuddered, "how does this place feel...... It's kind of like a ghost temple?"

"What nonsense, how can there be a ghost in this world?" shouted the other soldier, emboldened.

"But I always feel ...... Something is wrong......" The soldier next to him responded.

As he was talking, another cool wind blew, which frightened the timid officers and soldiers. "Who...... Who—who?" asked one of the soldiers, even looking back abruptly, pulling out his knife from his waist, and trembling.

However, there was no one else behind him, only a few broken cobwebs and a stone Buddha statue with a severed head. However, the deep cracks on the Buddha statue added a little deeper fear for no reason.

The sound of the cold wind in the night was constantly blowing, much louder than when everyone first went up to Tiangong Mountain. Soon, the cold wind howled incessantly, as if shaking the broken temple. Occasionally, a few broken Buddha heads rolled on the ground a few times - in fact, they were blown by a strong wind - and they were stunned, so that everyone was frightened.

"No...... There can't really be ghosts, right?" said one soldier.

"How do you know ......?" he was saying, when suddenly, an eerie voice came from above the heads of the people, like a messenger returning from hell.

"Who...... Who's talking?" "Who's it, come out, no...... Don't pretend to be a fool......" "I'm not afraid of you, we...... We ......" Everyone present heard the "ghost sound", and all of them trembled with fear, even the few who were "bold" before.

"If you let me out, then I'll come out," Ghost continued...... replied.

Hear it clearly, the sound is coming from overhead. Everyone was so frightened that they didn't even dare to look up, they looked at their companions around them, nodded slightly, and then dared to look up together.

As their eyes moved upward, they saw a black cloud of suspicion on the roof...... Suddenly, a huge black net came towards everyone. Before anyone could react, they exclaimed in amazement: "Ahh

Immediately after, there were terrifying bloody blades and screams coming from the Quanwang Temple. As several violent cold winds passed through the hall, every qiē was gradually buried by the night and cold......

On the side of the leader of the officers and soldiers, he was still holding a brocade box and running down the mountain smugly. "These fools, you'll have to give me a long time now......" the officer and soldier leader said secretly in his heart.

However, when the officers and soldiers were proud, he didn't pay attention to his own feet, and he stumbled and fell. "Ouch-" The leader of the officers and soldiers threw a "dog gnawing mud". The brocade box in his hand also fell. The brocade box rolled on the mud floor a few times before stopping.

The officers and soldiers touched the thigh injured by the fall and screamed a few times. Just as he was about to get up and pick up the brocade box that had just dropped, suddenly a black figure fell from the sky, snatched the brocade box that had fallen in front of him, and then landed in front of the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers looked up. Next to the man in black who snatched his brocade box. He was followed by a man in black. These two people are none other than Huang Ji and Fang Ying, who chased them all the way, although the leader of the officers and soldiers came up with such a hand as "branching out", but Huang Ji's target was not the fleeing officers and soldiers, but the brocade box in the hands of the leaders of the officers and soldiers. In fact, at the fork just now, Huang Ji saw clearly from a distance behind him, and thought that since the leader of the officers and soldiers went down the mountain alone, the brocade box must be in his hand. Sure enough. Catch up and catch it directly.

"What is in this brocade box, so attractive?" Huang Ji looked at the brocade box in his hand. I want to open it and take a look.

"Give it back to me-" The leader of the officers and soldiers naturally would not give such an important thing to others, seeing that Huang Ji did not make a move on himself, but was interested in the brocade box, the leader of the officers and soldiers also became bold, and took the knife and slashed at Huang Ji's face.

Seeing this, Huang Ji didn't need to make a move, grabbed Fang Ying beside him, and the two of them dodged sideways at the same time. The leader of the officers and soldiers did not stop, and the forest was so dark that suddenly his feet were empty, and he fell into a landslide, and the whole person fell directly.

"Ahh

Before Huang Ji and Fang Ying could react, they saw that the leader of the officers and soldiers had lost his breath, and they also shook their heads helplessly.

"It's sad and pathetic, for this box, I put my life on the ......," Huang Ji sighed softly again.

But now that the brocade box was already in his hand, Huang Ji wanted to open it immediately to see what it was. However, at this moment, a figure suddenly flew from under him, flying past Huang Ji's side.

Huang Ji seemed to feel that something was wrong, and immediately pushed away Fang Ying beside him with one hand, remembering to raise his palm and go up - the flying figure took the first step towards Huang Ji, looking like he was looking for trouble.

Huang Ji was a little passive, the two of them suffered a loss against each other, his body was slightly low, and he almost fell, but fortunately, he was stable and forcibly stopped.

"Brother Huang Ji be careful-" Fang Ying saw the danger on the side and exclaimed loudly.

"Huang Ji, you are Huang Ji's brother-" At the same moment, the figure that flew by just now turned to speak.

This voice couldn't be more familiar, and when the figure stood firm in front of the two of them in the black forest, Huang Ji and Fang Ying also recognized it, who was the person who came if it wasn't Canglong?

Canglong and Hu Yidi successfully assassinated Song Lianxun in Xiangfu before, and then Canglong rushed to Tiangong Mountain non-stop to meet the people of the beggar gang, and now he happened to meet Huang Ji and Fang Ying, who came secretly.

"Sister Ying is also here, what's going on?" Canglong asked in a somewhat reproachful tone when he learned the identities of Huang Ji and Fang Ying, the two "men in black". After all, he had been worried about Fang Ying's safety, and Fang Ying's appearance in Tiangong Mountain was undoubtedly brought by Huang Ji

Huang Ji knew that he couldn't hide it, so he apologized slightly: "I'm sorry, Brother Canglong, I know it's dangerous to bring Sister Ying out...... But I also want to repay my father-in-law, so I came to Tiangong Mountain to help without telling all of you. But I didn't worry about leaving Yingmei alone, so I brought her here too, I'm sorry......"

"Even if that's the case, it's not safe for Sister Ying to come here!Do you know how dangerous this is, in case Sister Ying has something that is long and short, then ......" Canglong Qing said a little uncalmly.

"Okay, why are you talking about Brother Huang Ji like that?" Before Canglong could finish speaking, Fang Ying blocked in front of Huang Ji and reprimanded Canglong Dao in turn. "Why don't you ask yourself?Leave me and go and do something with that 'No. 1 master outside the Guan' Hu Yidi by yourself......" Fang Ying gasped as she reprimanded in anger. His eyes kept staring reproachfully at Canglong's cold mask under the darkness.

This was also the first time Fang Ying was angry, in order to protect Huang Ji, Fang Ying actually reprimanded Canglong. Canglong was also slightly shocked, he had never seen Fang Ying so affectionate.

However, at the critical moment, it was Huang Ji who raised his hand and put down Fang Ying's arm and comforted him softly: "Okay." Don't blame Brother Canglong, he's not wrong, he's always worried about your safety. That's what I ...... Actually, it's not right for me, in order to repay my father-in-law's selfish interests, I didn't expect Sister Ying's safety to be safe, I'm sorry......" Huang Ji also apologized.

Canglong listened. I also seem to feel that my attitude is a little bad. After a slight pause, Canglong's tone softened: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken in this tone, in fact, it's also my fault to go to work with Hu Yidi in private......"

Hearing these two people who both had emotions in their hearts say this, Fang Ying also felt that she was too excited just now, so she also lowered her head and said softly: "I was wrong, I shouldn't be angry with you, Brother Canglong......"

"If I don't accompany Hu Yidi to assassinate the prefect. I won't leave Sister Ying, you don't care, it's still my fault after all......" Canglong continued to bow his head and said.

"What do you think you......'re going to do? Assassinate the prefect?" Huang Ji heard Canglong's words. I couldn't help but worry.

So, Canglong and Huang Ji told about their situation......

"I see, Hu Yidi put all the charges on him alone, so that we and the people of the beggar gang can get out of the relationship, right......" Huang Ji, who knew the truth, couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, it is precisely because of this operation that I know about what happened on Tiangong Mountain tonight. Listening to what Brother Huang Ji said just now, the people of the beggar gang have already succeeded, right?" Canglong also responded.

"Yes......" Huang Ji picked up the brocade box in his hand and continued, "We chased all the way, and we caught up with this thing, and I don't know what it is, it seems that those officers and soldiers value it very much, the gold and silver treasures are lost, and this thing is still in ...... hand."

Canglong seemed to have thought of something, and said with an idea: "You show me that thing-"

Huang Ji didn't look at it, and handed the brocade box in his hand to Canglong.

Canglong opened the brocade box without saying anything, and it was very empty, only a folded drawing. Canglong took out the drawing, slowly glued it, and through the moonlight through the gap in the dark clouds, he vaguely saw a few big characters on the side.

"This is-" Canglong couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the words, "This is the 'Tongguan Border Defense Map'!"

"Tongguan Border Defense Map, isn't this what Brother Canglong just said......" Huang Ji listened to Canglong's narration and couldn't help but respond.

"The Tongguan border map is really here-" Canglong took back the drawing, and said with a little excitement, "No wonder these officers and soldiers value it so much, it turns out that the missing Tongguan border map is really hidden in this transaction......

"What should I do now, my stepfather doesn't know about this yet?" Huang Ji continued, "There are other officers and soldiers who have escaped, they have just fled to the other side of the fork in the road, and I haven't had time to chase ...... yet"

Canglong thought for a while, put the drawings back in the pocket of his clothes, and then said to Huang Ji: "In this way, although Gang Master Ge and their plan were successful, it cannot be said that it is absolutely safe here...... Brother Huang Ji, you immediately take Sister Ying back and leave Tiangong Mountain-"

Huang Ji thought about it, and this time nodded and agreed: "Well, don't worry, I will definitely protect Sister Ying's safety this time-"

However, Fang Ying was a little uneasy, she glanced at Canglong with worried eyes, and then mentioned: "But Brother Canglong, let's go back now, what about you?"

Canglong looked back at the fork in the mountain and said firmly: "The Tongguan border map is in hand, and the conspiracy of the Mengyuan court is gone, so there is no worry about this for the time being...... I'm going to chase the remaining deserters now and see what else they can do......"

Seeing this, Huang Ji was also worried: "Is it really okay for you to be alone?"

Canglong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't really do anything with them, just go over to see the situation, and ......go back after a while."

Fang Ying thought for a long time, then raised her head and said to Canglong: "Brother Canglong, you must come back safely, Sister Hongyun is still cooking at home, wait for us to go back to eat......"

At the mention of the red cloud, Canglong felt a brief momentary inexplicable feeling in his heart. Canglong looked at Fang Ying and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Sister Ying, you wait obediently at home, and when you're done, I'll go back immediately-"

After speaking, Canglong turned around and performed light skills and walked up the mountain.

On Fang Ying's side, he glanced at Canglong with reluctance, and then went down the mountain with Huang Ji to leave...... (To be continued......)
