Rumble~

As the night got darker, several muffled thunders sounded in the sky, and the rain in the forest became heavier.

The birds squatted on the canopy of the trees, carefully searching the surrounding mountains and forests to prevent anyone from touching them nearby.

Luo Ning had already walked around the manor under the guidance of Niao Niao. At this time, she was standing behind the tree trunk with Yun Li, who was wearing night clothes, looking at the lights and shadows of swords in the garden below the mountain.

Because the rain was heavy and the manor was full of smoke and people were everywhere, it was impossible to see the battle situation clearly. Naturally, the mother and daughter were a little worried.

Zhe Yunli held up the long knife and frowned: "How about I go over to take care of you?"

Luo Ning pressed Yunli's shoulders and said softly:

"You three-legged cat's kung fu didn't hinder your cousin Jing and Master in the past. You just waited here honestly."

"I have practiced five pictures of the roaring dragon. Ordinary people can't do anything to me..."

"Didn't I also practice five cards? The last time I competed with your master, I was still faced with him and pushed to the ground..."

"How can this be the same? Master, you are just practicing ten pictures. If you meet the master, you will still get beaten... cough..."

Zhe Yunli noticed a chill coming from the back of his neck, and immediately shut up, pretending to be a good boy, and looked down the mountain in silence.

Seeing that the occasion was inappropriate, Luo Ning did not pick up Yunli. After waiting for a while, she heard a slight sound coming from the woods:

Swish, swish, swish~

In the woods, Ye Jingtang was exploring the way in front with a sword hanging on his waist, while Xue Baijin was walking at the end to hold down the formation to prevent Gongsun Jin and others from catching up and attacking.

Fan Qinghe held the package in his hands to avoid getting wet from the rain. Because sneaking into the alchemy room was too exciting, his heart was still pounding, causing his cheeks to turn red.

Qiu Tianhe came to trouble Sheng Wu. Although he didn't meet Zhongsun Jin at all, he still felt like he was out of danger. He wiped the rain on his face with his hands and said as he walked:

"The twelve servants of Yandu are truly worthy of their reputation. When my Tianhe Sword met those three eunuchs, I was defeated to death. Why did they strike first... By the way, Boy Ye, why did you come to Yanjing too?"

Ye Jingtang paid careful attention to the surrounding movements, headed in the direction of Yunli, and responded:

"I came here a few days ago and have been hiding in the city. I was the one who let out the news about Bishui Forest. I didn't expect to attract you here..."

"Yeah……"

…

As soon as I could say a few words, there was movement in the forest, and birds flapped their wings and flew over:

"Master!"

"Night Terror Hall, are you okay?"

"Chi chi chi..."

When Ye Jingtang saw Ning'er coming out, he was naturally happy, but Yunli and Bingtuotuo were both in front of him, so he couldn't go up and pout, so he just said:

"We're fine, let's go."

Xue Baijin saw that Zhongsun Jin did not catch up to him to seek death. When he came to Ning'er, he slowed down and cast his eyes on Ye Jingtang's legs.

The two of them had just been blinded by the banging thunder. Ye Jingtang stepped in front of her with two swords to help block the hidden weapon shot by Zhong Sunjin. Although the upper body was protected from splashing water, the length of the sword was destined to be unable to protect the feet.

, the calf was rubbed several times with a concealed weapon, and it was obvious that the trouser leg was torn.

Seeing this, Xue Baijin asked: "Is the injury on your leg serious?"

Ye Jingtang was thick-skinned, but he actually didn’t pay much attention. Hearing this, he lowered his head and looked:

"It's just a skin injury. It's harmless. How are you?"

"What can I do? It's raining heavily, let's talk about it when we get back."

When Ye Jingtang saw Bing Tuo Tuo walking to the front, he didn't say anything more. He came to Qing He again and asked:

"Did you find anything useful?"

Fan Qinghe held the package in his arms to prevent it from getting wet by the rain. Hearing this, he was a little annoyed:

"Zhongsun Jin is just an old fox. There are only two boxes of Snow Lake Flowers in the alchemy room. He probably refined one to get a portion of medicinal materials, specifically to prevent outsiders from looting. I haven't read the paper inside, but I definitely won't use it.

The prescription is written above, so I can only go back and study it slowly..."

Ye Jingtang has already obtained the Ming Shen Diagram without any injuries. Being able to come over and get two extra boxes of Snow Lake Flowers is considered an unexpected fortune. He said:

"Don't worry, let's go back and fix things first. If we make a fuss like this, as long as Zhongsun Jin is not sure that we have left, he will never dare to leave the Bishui Forest. If it doesn't work, he can just fight back."

Because they had not yet left the Bishui Forest area, something might go wrong at any time. The group of six people did not say much, and after a brief exchange of words, they disappeared into the depths of the mountain forest and sped towards the capital...

——

On the other side, there is clear water and forest.

From the time the Night Terror Hall knocks open the Golden Buddha to the end of the fight, it only takes a moment.

Originally, the dozen or so gangsters wanted to take advantage of the Pingtian leader to take the lead in the charge. They followed behind to fish in troubled waters. When they found out that the leader had escaped, they naturally did not dare to stay behind and help deal with Zhongsun Jin. They dispersed almost at the same time.

escape.

Due to the short time of the fight, and the fact that Hua Junchen and others took advantage of the situation, the thieves took advantage of their hearts. Although the scene seemed to be a passionate fight, in fact, not even a few people were killed, and some medicinal materials were lost.

As the gangsters fled, Hua Junchen raised his knife and Li Guangxian chased him to the edge of the wall until a voice came from behind:

"Don't chase the poor bandits, come back."

Only then did Hua Junchen show his unwillingness, snorted coldly at the heavy night rain, put away his knife and headed back to the Buddhist hall, saying with concern along the way:

"Brother Li, are you not injured?"

Li Guangxian is a commander of the Imperial Army, with a salary of one hundred taels of silver per month. He was also captured as a strong man. How could he really risk his life and follow Hua Junchen just now? Hua Junchen was unscathed. Naturally, he was fine. At this time, wipe

Sweat broke out on my head:

"It doesn't matter. These thieves are really brave. If Brother Hua hadn't given the sword to Mr. Zhongsun and kept the weapons in his hands, we would have to keep a few of them today..."

"well……"

Hua Junchen also saw that Li Guangxian was fishing for money like him, so he didn't say anything more and quickly returned to the front of the Buddhist hall.

The originally majestic and solemn Buddhist hall was damaged by the rampage of the Night Terror Hall. A large part of the roof collapsed, exposing the steel frame; and there was also a hole in the side window.

At this time, the disciples of Qianji Sect were carrying the fainted fellow disciple out of the alchemy room for treatment; while the three eunuchs were on guard around the Buddhist hall.

Zhongsun Jin was wearing a gray robe and carrying a sword. He stood in the messy alchemy room, carefully checking whether the alchemy furnace was damaged. His expression was still calm and calm, and there was not much out of the ordinary.

Hua Junchen came to the entrance of the alchemy room, looked down at the messy scene below, and frowned:

"Mr. Zhongsun, what's the situation? The elixir was stolen by thieves from the Southern Dynasty?"

"I just lost some medicinal materials, the loss is not big."

After Zhongsun Jin made sure that the alchemy furnace was not affected, he jumped out of the alchemy room with a tap of his toes, landed in front of the golden Buddha, and returned the sword to Hua Junchen:

"Nephew Hua Xian is indeed one of the best among men. It's a pity that he has never set foot in the world before and lacks some experience. As long as he has more experience in the future, it will be possible to catch up with me."

Zhong Sunjin's words were obviously a bit flattering, but they were not entirely polite.

There was chaos just now, and even the three eunuchs didn't understand the situation. Hua Junchen knew how to throw weapons to him when he encountered the enemy. His eyesight and reaction were much beyond ordinary people's.

As for the follow-up performance of Mi Zongbu, in which no one was injured and no blood was stained on his clothes after the beating, although Zhong Sunjin saw it, he did not think this was wrong.

After all, he was still showing off his skills even though he was far away.

He knew clearly that two martial saints were coming to kill him with the purpose of robbing him of the valuable treasure, but he still ran up to fight for it, was seriously injured, and lost the enemy. Isn't that mentally ill?

If Bishui Forest was not his territory and he found Ye Jingtang and Xue Baijin attacking each other, he would have turned around and ran away without even looking back.

At this time, all the masters of the imperial court were saved, and there were no major casualties. The key items such as the elixir prescriptions were all there, and only one medicinal material was lost. Compared with the lineup sent by the Southern Dynasty, this was considered a near miss.

This Zhongsun Jin really has no anger or anger.

When Hua Junchen was so praised by Zhongsun Jin, he felt a little embarrassed and took the sword respectfully:

"Thank you, sir. Well... what should we do now? Should we go after him, or should he wait here for the imperial master to come?"

Zhongsun Jin shook his head: "The imperial master has already used the elixir. This medicine also allows people to regenerate themselves in the same way as to destroy and then build up. It won't be possible in a short time. But as long as I don't die, the Southern Dynasty can't get anything. It's very difficult to go out now."

You may be ambushed by the thieves from the Southern Dynasty, so just wait here. If Ye Jingtang dares to kill the carbine, just let him come..."

Seeing that the imperial master would not come out, Hua Junchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little sad.

After all, Ye Jingtang has leaked his identity and will be traced and suppressed by the imperial court. He will definitely return to the Southern Dynasty immediately. It will be difficult for him to see his unmarried son-in-law again...

I don’t know if Qingzhi was taken away...

Thinking of this, Hua Junchen was a little worried. He was afraid that his daughter would be abducted by the Night Terror Hall and would never be seen again. He was also afraid that his daughter would not be taken away by the Night Terror Hall and would lose her soul.

But Hua Junchen really couldn't express these feelings. He just turned his head and looked at Ye Yu outside the Buddhist hall, and sighed secretly...

——

The night is getting darker.

Following the turmoil in Bishui Forest, turmoil soon arose in Yanjing City. War drums sounded from the Bell and Drum Towers, and the neighborhoods in the city quickly entered a curfew state. Only patrolling soldiers and horses were left on the streets, and it was difficult to see any common people.

On a small street in the west of the city, all the inns and restaurants have closed their doors. Two teams of officials can be seen going from house to house to inspect the houses. Some voices can be faintly heard between the houses:

"What's going on? Did Nanchao come over?"
