That's not necessary. Tuoba sat down alone and said in a deep voice.

No need?...... Do you go empty-handed? Su Zheyu was strange.

I must go this time because ...... I hope I can never have to go in the future. Tuoba Gu glanced at her. I plan to bring the two of them to Qinglong Valley, saving me the time I have to spend every year.

Pick them up! Su Zheyu's eyes flashed slightly. It's a good idea, but ...... I'm a little worried that they're used to living in the desert and don't want to leave......

Won't you move if you go and ask them?' Tuoba Gu sneered. Please grab it by force if you don't move, can they still go back?

But...... Su Zheyu wanted to speak and stopped.

Y-don't want to?, Tuoba Gu's eyes burned.

No, it's just that I go to the desert every year, originally to worship Miss Chuchu, if I don't go in the future, will I ......

I can't even say I'm going, what are you worried about? It's been twelve years since Wen Hui was gone, and to me, she's far from the most important person anymore - it's a bit heartless to say, but if I give up something else for her sake, it's not what I want. As long as she can take care of her father and mother all the time, it will be enough.

Su Zhiyu hummed obediently, and the two talked about some other trivial matters for a while. The night was getting deeper, the whispers were fading, and the tiredness was getting thicker, and the two of them fell asleep in loose clothes. I don't know how long it took, in the silence, there was a sudden whistling sound, sharp through the dream, and Tuoba Gu and Su Zhiyu were awakened instantly. The sudden light dissipated, and everyone could see that the light that had swept through the sky just now was the whistle arrow of Taniguchi.

Someone's coming? No—it's the whistling sound of someone trying to escape. When yesterday's ban was announced, it was stated that if anyone left without obedience, he would be treated as a prisoner and immediately arrested in the dungeon.

I'll take a look. Tuoba quickly put on his clothes, and the exact news didn't come until he approached Taniguchi.

The left envoy Cheng Fangyu and the right envoy Huo Xin also rushed to the valley at almost the same time. The person who came to report was Pang Ye, the second team leader under Cheng Fangyu. The person who intended to break through the guards of the valley mouth and leave was none other than Lin Zhi!

Actually, there is no need to say too much. Tuoba Gu and the others only needed to take a few more steps forward, and they could already see Lin Zhi's face in the bright torches at the mouth of the valley.

She looked like she had been injured—if it weren't for Tuoba Gu's strict order not to hurt Lin Zhi, her injuries would have been much worse. But the people injured under her blade seemed to be more, including Pang Ye, who came to report the news.

According to Pang Ye's report, the sixteen people guarding the valley mouth tonight are the first team in Pang Ye's group. This was the first day of the ban, and he was also on duty at Taniguchi as the team leader. In Shicai, Lin Zhi avoided the other eyeliners in the valley and arrived at the mouth of the valley. Taniguchi can't avoid this pass, so he can only go hard.

Pang Ye didn't expect that Lin Zhi's subordinates were extremely weak, and when they found her, she had injured several people. Because he knew that there was an explicit order not to hurt this person, he didn't dare to let go too much, but Lin Zhi was originally the leader of the Taihu Golden Needle, although she was pregnant, it did not affect her martial arts at all, and Pang Ye couldn't restrain her. In desperation, he ordered the smoke of the signal to be released, and at the risk of punishment, he ordered that the people should be spared no mercy - to save her life, of course.

Just when everyone was about to restrain Lin Zhi, a person suddenly appeared in front of the injured Lin Zhi. This person, the current Tuoba Gu, can see it very clearly, because he is still holding a weapon and blocking himself in front of Lin Zhi. It's none other than Zhou Xiaoqi.

Tuoba Gu's brow furrowed. He looked around. No. There is no single fountain. The person who should appear most is not there.

Zhou Xiaoqi. Tuoba said coldly. What do you mean. Put your blade down and come here.

Although Zhou Xiaoqi didn't listen to Pang Ye's discipline, he still recognized Tuoba Gu's face, and it seemed to be a little hesitant. But...... He muttered. Shan Xianfeng told me that no matter how I want to protect Miss Lin's safety, no one can hurt her......

Lin Zhi, who was half-sitting on the ground, sneered, and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her right hand holding the blade. At that moment, Tuoba Gu saw the weapon in her hand, and his mind froze.

Instead of protecting a woman here for a single pioneer's words, you should go back and see how he is doing. Tuoba Gu's voice trembled slightly. The knife of the left pioneer is in Lin Zhi's hand, where is the left vanguard?

Everyone was shocked when they heard this-yes, what Lin Zhi was holding in his hand was not Shan Jiquan's Left Pioneer Knife that was ordered by Tuoba Gu to not leave his body!

Zhou Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, lowered his hand, but then came to his senses and ran back. On the other side, Cheng Fangyu and Pang Ye had already started to restrain Lin Zhi, made a mistake on her wrist, snatched the knife, and handed it to Tuoba Gu.

You guys straighten it out. You have the second squad come here as well. Cheng Fangyu instructed Pang Ye, and with Tuoba Gu, Huo Xin and others, escorted Lin Zhi to the old mansion of the Shan family.

----

Zhuo Yan fell asleep with a question—the question before Tuoba left alone—what was Murong Xun's purpose?

He felt tired, but he was also entangled in the question and never slept well. After turning over for a while, there was some untimely sweat in the palms of my hands. In his sleep, he suddenly seemed to wake up to something, opened his eyes suddenly, and rolled over.

He felt lightheadedness for a while, and he couldn't help but reach out and press his forehead. The night was dark. Although Tuoba Gu said, "If you think of anything, come and tell me at any time", it is not enough to be late at night. However, when I think about this possibility, it seems that the sooner I arrange a countermeasure, the better......

You can't find a superior, you can always find a subordinate. Zhuo Yan got dressed in the dark, thinking about which team leader to call up. It's just that before going out, he went to the front of the house to touch the knife that was resting on the stool, but he was taken aback.

Knives - not there.

No, although I have a splitting headache, I still can't remember this mistake. The knife was placed here, but it was gone.

Not far outside, there was a sudden "bang", and it seemed that someone had fallen. Zhuo Yan was alert, heard that this person got up again, hurriedly came over, pushed the door open, and almost broke the door with such force.

In the dark, the man didn't know Zhuo Yan's location, so he just rushed straight to the head of the bed, lifted the curtain and saw that there was no one on the bed. He took two steps back, almost falling again.

Suddenly, there was a slight "flutter" sound, and the room lit up, and Zhuo Yan had already lit the lamp. The man was taken aback and turned around, Zhuo Yan was standing behind him with a slight frown.

What are you doing?" Zhuo Yan looked at one of his seven guards standing in his room with blood on his shoulder, almost a little dejected. If I remember correctly, this bearded, thirty-year-old family guard surnamed Bai, as for the name, Zhuo Yan didn't remember it in his heart. To be exact, he has only been back for two days, and he hasn't had time to bother to have any relationship with this group of former Gu family guards.

When the guard surnamed Bai saw him, his face was happy, and then he retreated, and rushed up with an arrow, Shan Xianxian, something happened......

Zhuo Yan's face changed slightly, and before he could ask for details, a whistling sound suddenly came from the direction of Taniguchi, and the two rushed to the door, only to see bright smoke rushing into the clouds.

Someone is coming?Zhuo Yan is obviously not familiar with the signal of Qinglong Valley.

No...... Be...... Fear...... Lin Zhi arrived at the mouth of the valley. Bai Kar-wai muttered.

Zhuo Yan's complexion changed again. Lin Zhi?

Yes, she suddenly rushed out alone, and we wanted to stop her, but somehow, I had no strength in my limbs, and she injured three people, and the two brothers didn't wake up until now, I ...... Fang Cai also fainted. I woke up worried about what happened to you here, so ......

Zhuo Yan's mind was busy, but he was still surprised that this white family guard was really worried about himself loyally. He didn't move. As far as he knew, there were only two or three people who would really guard at night, which meant that Lin Zhi was ruthless, and all three of them were injured. And the so-called feeling of drowsiness and powerlessness also has itself. Obviously, Lin Zhi did something at dinner.

What about the others? Zhuo Yan began to walk out, but still asked.

I haven't had time to see it yet...... By the way, I saw Xiao Qi chasing Miss Lin.

...... I'll go after her, and you go and look after the others. Zhuo Yan said, hurrying towards the valley. The medicine did not subside, he only felt that his scalp was numb for a while, and his eyes were also blackened, and intermittent headaches continued to erode his brain.

Halfway through, the first thing I met was Zhou Xiaoqi, who was running away.

Zhou Xiaoqi ran so desperately that he couldn't stop, and almost crashed into Zhuo Yan's arms. He shouted and raised his blade before he recognized his master.

When Zhou Xiaoqi saw him, he couldn't catch it in one breath, and he didn't know where to start. Instead, Zhuo Yan asked first, what about Miss Lin?

Zhou Xiaoqi turned back, Tuoba Gu and the others naturally did not follow him slower, and Huo Xin and the others had already appeared. Zhuo Yan's brows furrowed even tighter. The two of you are also on the move?

Before the words fell, Cheng Fangyu, who was relieving Lin Zhi, also appeared in sight.

Zhuo Yan and Lin Zhi's eyes touched, and their hearts sank. Those eyes were definitely not the Lin Zhi he expected to see.

At this moment, Lin Zhi had bitten out blood from her lower lip with her teeth, but she didn't say a word. The expression on his face was a strange calmness.

Is it your dereliction of duty or something? Tuoba Gu glanced at Zhuo Yan and handed him back the Zuo Pioneer saber. She looked like she was trying to get out of the valley.

It's weird...... Huo Xin muttered on the side. If she wanted to leave, she had a much better chance before, so why should she pick after we had banned and strengthened the guard. Shan Vanguard, did anything unusual happen before?

Zhuo Yan wiped a handful of cold sweat from her forehead, and her hands were sickly cold. I'm not feeling well, can you go back to me first, and then talk about it?" he said in a low voice.

Tuoba Gu seemed to think about it. Fang Yu, you take Lin Zhi to the dungeon first. He gave the order first.

Master...... Zhuo Yan wanted to speak and stopped.

Instead of ignoring his request, Tuoba Gu added two acupoints to Lin Zhi's body, and emphasized to Cheng Fangyue that he must be careful.

The meaning of this series of actions was very clear, and he obviously thought that Lin Zhi was an extremely dangerous person.

Zhuo Yan knew that Tuoba Gu made this decision after seeing that he had obviously fallen for Lin Zhi's calculations. At this, he had no choice but to smile bitterly.

Zhou Xiaoqi. Tuoba Gu's second order was directed at Zhou Xiaoqi.

Yes, Master. Zhou Xiaoqi was a little nervous.

You go and call the second sect leader and ask her to rush to the old mansion of the Shan family immediately.

The tone was grim, Zhou Xiaoqi didn't hesitate at all, and immediately agreed.

And the slightly inexplicable is only Huo Xin. In his opinion, a matter of Lin Zhi didn't seem to be big enough to alarm so many people - even if she really planned to go out to find Murong Xun, she wouldn't be able to run away anyway.

However, Lao Cheng is as serious as him, so he naturally won't ask more. He knew that since Tuoba Gu had summoned Qiu Guanghan here, there must be something to explain that might have happened during his absence.

The three of them walked silently towards the old house of the single family, as if they had their own thoughts.

Are you okay?Tuoba Gu finally glanced at Zhuo Yan again.

The medicinal properties have not yet returned. Zhuo Yan smiled reluctantly. I was thinking, if she took my knife and gave it to me, then I would ......

I wonder why she didn't give you that. Tuoba lonely road.

Although Miss Lin is leaving, she should not do such a thing. Huo Xindao.

Zhuo Yan shook her head. She's now—she's not Lin Zhi at all.

This sentence really stunned Huo Xin. He suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask, because he knew he would soon have an answer.

The lights of the old house are bright. The three of them saw the courtyard door open from a distance, and there seemed to be a few figures busy with something.

Your guards have been attacked as well?" asked Tuoba Gu.

Yes, they should have also been drugged, so their hands and feet were weak, and their brains were panicked......

He wanted to say "slightly injured", but when he said the fourth word, he suddenly paused.

It doesn't seem like a minor injury. Tuoba Gu's chin lifted.

Under the light of the torches, the faces of the two people lying on the ground turned black, while the five people, including the white family guard, turned pale, gathered around the side, and were silent. Seeing Zhuo Yan come back, the white family guard Huo Di stood up, stepped forward, and shouted, Shan Xianxian!

Zhuo Yan saw that his eyes were red, and his heart was cold, so he took two steps forward and squatted down to check the situation of the two people.

How could it be...... His cold hand touched the colder body, and he couldn't stop trembling.

That woman - such a vicious method! A seven-foot man surnamed Bai Jiawei couldn't help crying at this moment. Zhuo Yan had already seen that he was holding two golden needles in his hand that should have been lifted from the two of them. The tiny Taihu Lake golden needle, if you don't look closely, it's really not easy to find.

At the same time, he also found a small wound in the throat of the two men. It's just this needle, penetrating the skin and sealing the throat.

Zhuo Yan, who had never taken anything to heart, only felt a headache and a colic pain in her chest come at this moment, and she couldn't say a word for a long time. I've only been back for the fourth day. He said in his heart. These men have been with me for less than three days, and they have changed from seven to five. I should have taken precautions tomorrow morning, these things can be foreseen. Am I underestimating Murong Xun too much, or am I overestimating Lin Zhi!? )
