The long night is not over yet, before dawn.

Baisu Town has completely quieted down. Only the shouts of some soldiers can be heard in restaurants in the distance.

In the room on the second floor of the inn, Ye Jingtang sat cross-legged on the bed, using the method of the Jade Bone Dragon Elephant Diagram to temper his muscles and bones, while his ears paid attention to the surrounding disturbances.

After an unknown length of silence, the sound of flying birds sounded outside the inn's window, followed by the soft sound of claws kicking on the window.

Da da da~~

Ye Jingtang opened his eyes, stood up with a long knife, walked to the window and opened it, and a white ball got in. It landed on the bed and fell straight back, turning into a claws pointing upwards:

"grumble……"

Ye Jingtang knew that Bird had a hard time flying all night, so he came to the bed and sat down, picked up Bird and squatted on his lap and smoothed his hair:

"Have you found the place?"

"Chiji..."

Birds can distinguish the southeast, northwest and approximate distance. Ye Jingtang learned that Bai Siming went to a place more than two hundred miles northwest, so he took out a map and searched according to the direction. It was obvious that the power of Qihuang Villa was near Heyuan County of Wuzhou.

scope.

Qihuang Villa is not very powerful, and Heyuan County is located on an important traffic road, so there is basically no possibility that King Wu is hiding in it.

Bai Siming was not injured. He was probably temporarily settling down somewhere to do some work. If he wanted to keep clues, he must go there as soon as possible...

But Master Xuanji hasn’t woken up yet…

Thinking of this, Ye Jingtang frowned, looked back at the silent next door, put the bird on the pillow, stood up and walked out of the door.

There were no outsiders in the small inn, and the corridor on the second floor was dark.

Ye Jingtang listened attentively at the door. Even the breathing inside was barely audible. Unable to determine the situation, he opened the door.

In the not-so-large room, the red candle in the lampstand had long since burned out, leaving a pool of candle tears.

The acacia sword, which had been put into a white scabbard, was lying flat on the dressing table, with a purse, a small gourd and other personal items beside it.

Between the curtains, the real person Xuanji, whose age could not be seen, was wearing a snow-white dress, lying quietly on the pillow, with a thin quilt covering her chest. The flush on her face had subsided, her expression was peaceful, and her hands were folded on her waist, sleeping in an upright posture.

Xuanji's appearance and manners are obviously very quiet and elegant, and her appearance can be called a beauty, but the indifferent expression that naturally appears on her face always gives people the feeling of 'I don't care about anything, so I can do anything'

, which makes people feel that they are not easy to mess with at first glance...

Ye Jingtang knew that he was a highly respected imperial master of the current dynasty, a Taoist master, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a leader of the righteous way. Naturally, he would not judge people by their appearance and determine their character based on their feelings.

After taking a closer look and seeing that the woman was motionless, Ye Jingtang slowly came to the bed and wanted to check her pulse to check her physical condition.

As a result, he stretched out his right hand, and before he touched his wrist, he saw a pair of bright black eyes opening silently in front of his eyes, looking at him.

"..."

Their eyes met, and the room was quiet for a moment.

Master Xuanji was awakened from her sleep, her eyes were confused for a moment, and then the experience before she lost consciousness came into her mind:

Yesterday, she was hit by the blood condensation of Beiliang Pirate Saint, which was really powerful. While she was extracting the poison, this handsome agent broke in, so she had to take the best option...

He chased her and she ran away, but she didn't escape. She speeded up her violence to show off, and even poisoned the blood...

She felt that the agent was not dangerous, so she suppressed the poison first. As a result, this guy came over and gave her a shot in the butt...

Thinking of this, Xuanji's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous look.

?!

Ye Jingtang secretly thought that something was wrong, and just as he was about to stop and move away, he found that Xuanji's left hand, which was folded at his waist, popped out like lightning and clasped his right wrist.

Ye Jingtang knew how powerful the opponent was. If he overreacted when he was awakened, his arm might be broken. He immediately moved his hand and tried to grab the opponent's wrist.

When Master Xuanji saw that this daring young agent dared to compete with her, a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes. He immediately jumped up and tugged at the same time with his left hand, hoping to use his superb skills to make the young agent understand.

What does it mean that the sky is high and the earth is high?

The scene that Xuanji imagined was probably-she, dressed in white as snow, jumped up from the bed, and at the same time pulled Ye Jingtang towards the bed. The moment she jumped over the Night Jingtang, she wrapped Ye Jingtang into a caterpillar with a thin quilt.

, fell on the bed.

She landed gracefully on the ground, and smoothly picked up the wine gourd on the dressing table and drank, leaving Ye Jingtang with a chic back that was hard to match.

This was a good idea, but as soon as Master Xuanji moved, he found that the force of the blood condensation was quite strong. The body had not fully recovered, and the blood circulation was not smooth, causing the force of the bounce to be slightly smaller.

However, Ye Jingtang raised her energy much faster than a martial artist of the same level, so much so that her reflexes could actually keep up with hers. She pulled hard, and Ye Jingtang simultaneously dug his feet into the ground, trying to stabilize his body.

The result was that Master Xuanji didn't play the ball, and Ye Jingtang didn't stop either. They just started running in both directions.

Ye Jingtang was pulled down by the terrifying explosive power of Master Xuanji, and fell directly onto the bed. He thought that Master Xuanji was going to push him down on the bed. At first, he didn't want to resist, but was just preparing to say:

"!"

But he soon realized that the woman in white in front of him didn't think so. After pulling hard, her figure actually hit him sideways, and the height was not enough to reach above his head.

His posture looked like he was about to hit him with a watermelon.

(⊙_⊙)?!

Bang~

There was a muffled sound of bodies colliding in the silent room, and then it fell into dead silence.

Ye Jingtang was pulled down to the bed, and was knocked back two steps before he could stabilize his body, raised his arms, and caught the beauty in white who didn't know what she was doing.

Xuanji bumped into Ye Jingtang and then fell down. Her back was supported by her right arm, and her legs were supported by her left arm. She fell into Ye Jingtang's arms in a standard princess hug, with indifferent eyes that were both good and evil.

His eyes twitched slightly.

!

However, Xuanji's psychological quality was extremely strong, and she remained calm, looking at the Night Terror Hall calmly, with an attitude of "that's what she had planned" to cover up the small mistake.

Ye Jingtang was stunned when he saw the gesture of embracing each other. The words he originally blurted out now became:

"Girl, please respect yourself! So what... rescuing you yesterday was a normal official duty. It's natural for you to want to thank me, but... I'm not a casual person, you..."

With that said, he quickly put Master Xuanji back on the bed.

Master Xuanji couldn't say that he was out of strength and failed, so he didn't explain it. He propped up the side of his face with his hands on the bed and made a half-smiling look:

"While she was unconscious, you used a concealed weapon to attack her three ways. How dare you say that you are not casual?"

"..."

Ye Jingtang really couldn't imagine that this demonic woman in white was actually the emperor's master in the Wei dynasty, his own master.

If he didn't know his identity and said that she was a demon sect who took pleasure in harming knights, he probably wouldn't have the slightest suspicion.

"I showed my waistband for routine inspection, but the girl resisted arrest without revealing her identity. When I wasn't sure of the details, I used gold needles to uniform her and followed the procedures..."

Master Xuanji narrowed her eyes slightly: "Young master, do you think I am a very reasonable woman? If I act in accordance with the law and have a basis, I will not cause trouble for you?"

Judging from these few words, Ye Jingtang felt that this girl was indeed unreasonable, so he said seriously:

"I think I have a clear conscience. If the girl has a grudge, I can't do anything about it. And for your injury, I asked the female doctor in the town to help treat your injury. I have been staying in the next room. If it hadn't been for the girl taking the initiative to jump into my arms,

, I will not cause any offense..."

Master Xuanji carefully observed Ye Jingtang's expression, and felt that he was not lying, so she stood up and put on her plum blossom embroidered shoes, took the small wine gourd on the dressing table, brought it to her red lips and took a sip.

Gulu~

As the strong drink entered his throat, more memories of yesterday flooded into his mind.

After the young police officer gave her an injection, she touched him and saw that there was only a focus on doing things impartially and without malice in the other person's eyes, so she no longer tensed her heartstrings...

Although she lowered her guard, her instincts from practicing martial arts for many years were still there. Whether she was seriously injured and passed out, or was drunk, her instincts would wake her up when she sensed danger; just like when the young detective came close to touch her wrist, she

I woke up right then...

She seemed to vaguely remember someone patting her face, and a woman's voice, and then she took off her clothes, rubbed her buttocks, and pulled out the needle...

She felt it all over her body, but did not wake up. She could only say that she subconsciously judged that she was in a very safe environment and did not need to forcefully wake up to resist...

Xuanji's state was like a hangover. She vaguely remembered something, but couldn't remember it clearly. After she felt that there was no big problem, she didn't think about it again. She put down the wine gourd and raised her hand slightly:

“Would you like a bite of Lie Nu Chou from Shazhou?”

Ye Jingtang's hometown is in Liangzhou, which is relatively close to the sandbank. I have heard of the name of this wine - this wine was originally called 'Burning Heart Knife'. It is soft in the mouth but has great stamina. No matter how chaste a woman is, she will have to lie down for a while after drinking one glass. You pick and choose, and so do men, so they are also nicknamed "The Fierce Girl Worries" and "The Immortal Kneels".

Because the price was astonishing and the output was rare, Ye Jingtang had indeed never drank it, but he had no idea what Master Xuanji would do next or where he could receive this wine.

"I'm on official business, so it's not convenient to drink. The news just came out that Chuan Chuan has returned. If the girl has recovered from her injury..."

Master Xuanji hung the wine gourd around her waist, came to the chair and sat down. She sat in a very quiet posture, raised her hand and poured tea slowly:

"You helped me pull out the golden needle, but you found out my identity?"

Ye Jingtang nodded and sat down opposite:

"I'm in the Night Terror Hall. I've admired the real person's name for a long time, but today's meeting is indeed extraordinary..."

Master Xuanji raised his finger slightly and interrupted the polite words:

"Young Master Ye, just call me Miss Shui'er. I'm a real person, a Taoist priest or whatever. I'm too old-fashioned."
