On the vast land, one can clearly feel the fall of night. The disciples of the three sects who are flying five birds in the sky are still bathed in the bright light of the sky, and the earth below is almost half shrouded in darkness.
A golden wing is flying in front, and five birds are following far behind.
A huge crouching dragon appeared on the ground, and a winding mountain range stretched across it.
"Down below!" A Daqiu Sect disciple suddenly issued a warning, and everyone quickly looked down.
Several black shadows jumped out from the mountains below, becoming clearer and clearer. It turned out that they were also five large birds, which had rushed up. On each bird were three masked men in black clothes, the same number of fifteen people!
"Who!" someone from the three sects of disciples shouted loudly!
Among the five birds that rushed up diagonally, one of them turned over his hand and showed a large clumsy bow. They all raised their hands and grabbed three arrows from the quiver on their backs. They put the bow strings on the bow strings together and quickly drew the bows!
The bow string, which was as black as a thick rope, was made of unknown materials. The moment it was pulled apart, a faint mist filled it.
Whoosh! Fifteen arrows shot together.
The disciples of the three major sects each cast spells and were about to defend themselves, but the fifteen arrows fired were like clay cattle entering the sea and melting when they encountered water.
Fifteen arrows, starting from the arrowhead, suddenly melted into the air.
From the arrowhead to the tail, it suddenly dissipated, like a burst of smoke.
The disciples of the three sects quickly reacted. Instead of dissipating, they disintegrated. Each arrow turned into countless ox-hair needles!
Fifteen arrows turned into a rain of needles and came over!
"Tian Ji Po Gang Arrow, be careful!" Someone from the three sects of disciples screamed.
Those countless specially made ox-hair needles, as long as they are fired with sufficient power, can pierce through the body's protective aura due to their fineness and sharpness, making it impossible to prevent them!
The Tianji Breaking Arrow is extremely vicious when used for sneak attacks, but it is extremely difficult to make.
A Tianji Breaking Arrow is rare, and the disciples of the three sects never dreamed that someone would actually shoot fifteen of them at once to deal with them!
By the time the ox-hair needle got close enough to see clearly and realize what it was, it was already too late to defend itself.
A rain of needles and needles covered a large area, and the disciples of the three sects tried their best to wave their weapons but could not block them all.
"Um…"
"ah…"
Someone was hit with hundreds of ox-hair needles and groaned in pain!
Someone was accidentally hit in both eyes, with fine needles inserted into his face, his eyes were bleeding, and he was wailing in pain!
Amidst the clanging sound of jingling, Xuanbing Sect disciples used scale armor to form a rotating shield for defense, and sparks shot out from the surface of the shield.
Although the vital points were blocked, his reaction was still a bit hasty, and he was more or less shot with cow-hair needles.
"Hey..." Five birds screamed in the sky, and even the disciples of the three sects couldn't defend themselves. You can imagine their situation.
The five birds were completely confused and flying around in the air!
Fifteen people from the three factions quickly flew up. Except for the blind one who was flying and sliding to the ground, the rest rushed towards the enemy to attack.
Although the Tianji Po Gang Arrow is vicious, it also has weaknesses and is not very powerful!
Because the needle is too small, its destructive power is limited, unlike being fatally struck by a sword!
As soon as the needle pierced their bodies, they were immediately restrained by magic with their flesh and blood bodies, and then sprayed out with magic in the opposite direction.
However, the masked men who were ambushing them immediately turned around on the birds after successfully attacking them, and did not tangle with the disciples of the three sects at all.
"Poisonous!" a Skyfire Sect disciple screamed. The tiny bloody eye on his face that was pricked by a needle had turned black, and the black spots were rapidly expanding on his face.
Others also noticed the toxicity of the ox hair needle. They felt numbness at the location where the needle was inserted, and the numbness quickly spread throughout the body.
This is really a fatal thing!
There was no intention to chase and kill him, as long as he could save his life, the disciples of the three sects quickly dived to the ground.
By the time they landed, each one of them was already swaying on the ground and stumbling.
The one who received more needles couldn't even land normally. When he was close to the ground, he fell to the ground and was bruised and bloody.
Five birds with spread wings swooped in, fifteen human figures swept out, and fierce sword energy burst out.
Among the disciples of the three sects, some heads flew up, some were split open diagonally, and some were chopped off at the waist, with blood splattering everywhere.
Like falling straw, they fell into a pool of blood one by one without the slightest strength to fight back.
Bang! The bird cage that fell to the ground from someone's hand shattered, and the several golden wings inside were torn to pieces by a sharp sword energy.
Some people also opened the golden wing cage behind them before they died and released several golden wings inside.
Several volleys of sword energy shot out in the air, causing clouds of blood to rain, and feathers flying.
All fifteen disciples of the three major sects were killed without missing a single one!
Not one of the messenger golden wings I brought with me escaped!
Fifteen masked men quickly came over, gathered together, and all nodded.
One person raised his head and let out a hissing sound, and five birds circling in the night quickly flew to the ground, lined up in a row, glided close to the ground, and rushed towards the fifteen people.
As they approached, fifteen people jumped and landed on five birds.
Five birds swept across the ground like the wind, flapped their wings and climbed up, carrying fifteen masked men and quickly disappeared into the depths of the night...
At dawn, inside the palace.
Hao Yuntu got up early, washed and changed clothes, put on his robes and prepared to go to court.
Bu Xun walked into the house, asked the serving eunuch to retreat, and personally helped Hao Yuntu tidy up his clothes. At the same time, he reported: "All the fifteen chasing disciples sent by the three major sects have lost contact."
Hao Yuntu looked at him, "Didn't there be news yesterday that it was successful?"
Bu Xun: "That's when I sent a message back, saying that I was following the clues, but there was no news after that. The disciples of the three major sects worked together and each sent back a message every three hours, that is to say, every hour
There will always be a sect that can receive the news, but until now I have been unable to contact them.”
Hao Yuntu: "Something happened?"
Bu Xun: "Nine times out of ten, something happened. The three major factions have sent people to trace along that route! There are also five people captured alive by the three major factions. The people who went to pick them up and escort them back have also lost contact. I guess they have lost contact.
Something happened, and the five survivors may have been kidnapped!"
Hao Yuntu tensed his hands and girded his waist, and coldly snorted: "Xiaoyue Pavilion! I really underestimate them!"
Bu Xun: "I'm afraid the three major factions are a little annoyed this time. Do you want to provide them with the line between the white clouds?"
Hao Yuntu glanced at him lightly, "Is that necessary? What's the benefit of giving it to them? Just to avenge them? You have to keep some cards in your hand, and you can't give them everything. You just give it to them now.
They, do you think they will accept your kindness and recognize your kindness? They will only think that it is what they should be. Bu Xun, people's desires will not be satisfied. When there is nothing to give, we will be in trouble!"
"To control such a large country, all forces are entangled and need to be balanced. Neither you nor I are qualified to distinguish between love and hate. At our level, there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies. If the three major factions do
There is nothing wrong with me being friends with Xiaoyue Pavilion at the right time. If Xiaoyue Pavilion dares to be too presumptuous, I must have something to beat on my hand, and I must let them understand that it is not that I can't touch them, but that I can't touch them.
If we don't move them, they will be afraid only if they don't know how much we have mastered..."
Among the white clouds, the rockery in a secluded corner moved, revealing an underground water cave. Su Zhao got out and reset the rockery again.
As soon as he returned to the door of his boudoir, Qin Mian came quickly to greet her, "My boss, you are finally back."
The two of them entered the house together. Su Zhao walked to the dressing table and sat down, untying her bun. She was still dressed as a man.
Qin Mian, who was following to the side, asked, "Is the matter with the war horse going well?"
"Not bad!" Su Zhao nodded, "I hope everything goes well in the future!"
Qin Mian didn't care about this. Hearing that it was going smoothly, he didn't ask anything. He said in a deep voice: "There is news from above that Linghu Qiu is one of our own!"
Su Zhao, who took off the hairpin and loosened her bun, was stunned. She looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes flashing.
She had known this for a long time. Shao Pingbo had already reminded her, but she was still doubtful at first. Now thinking about Shao Pingbo's judgment, she had to sigh secretly. He really guessed it correctly. How could there be any difference between people?
So big?
Her hair fell down on her shoulders. Su Zhao turned around in surprise and said, "How is that possible?"
Some of the things between her and Shao Pingbo would be known to Qin Mian, while some would not be known to Qin Mian.
Qin Mian: "It's been said so above, so it can't be wrong!"
Su Zhao was confused: "What does the higher-up mean by letting Linghu Qiu stay with Niu Youdao?"
Qin Mian: "It wasn't mentioned above, and now is not the time to worry about it. What it means above is that Linghu Qiu should have been exposed, and it is very likely that it has fallen into the hands of the Qi court."
Su Zhao looked solemn and became nervous, "Is it possible that our side will be implicated?"
Qin Mian waved her hand, "That's not possible. Linghu Qiu and us are on different lines, so he didn't tell us at first."
Su Zhaoli asked: "What about Niu Youdao?"
She suspected that Linghuqiu's exposure was related to Niu Youdao, because Shao Pingbo had long suspected that Niu Youdao had figured out Linghuqiu's identity, but at that time he had the intention of dealing with Niu Youdao, so he was deliberately pretending to be confused and did not
Let the higher ups know.
She felt a little guilty now. If Niu Youdao really exposed Linghu Qiu, then she would have ruined everything above.
Qin Mian: "Niu Youdao has disappeared."
"Gone? Where did you go?"
"I don't know. He said he left. After receiving the news from above, I immediately sent someone to Fufang Yuan to investigate. There was no one there, including Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi.
The Jade Prince's Mansion is looking for a buyer for Fufangyuan, saying that it was entrusted by Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi. This is the reason why the higher-ups told us about this, and the higher-ups asked us to mobilize our forces immediately to find Niu Youdao.
The whereabouts of Youdao and Linghuqiu! I didn’t know when my boss would come back before, so I took the initiative and ordered people in this area to start a search! The above means that as long as they are still in our jurisdiction, we will do it at all costs.
Gotta find them!"
"At all costs?" Su Zhao was surprised.
Qin Mian nodded slightly, his face extremely solemn.
She knew more about some things than Su Zhao. Wei Chu faked his death, Linghu Qiu exposed Xiaoyue Pavilion's identity, Niu Youdao had to die, otherwise Wei Chu would not be able to show up again, and Wei Chu was really involved!
