There were orderly footsteps outside, and Su Qinghe poked a hole in the window paper.

Teams of soldiers holding torches ran past the kitchen door. Looking further away, soldiers were moving around in the passages throughout the temple. At this moment, the entire Lingyan Temple was illuminated.

Such a loud noise woke up the monks who were sleeping soundly, and they all opened their doors to check.

"Where did these soldiers come from? What are you doing?"

"Abbot, go and inform the abbot!"

The monks had never seen such a scene before and were panicked for a moment. They all wanted to run to the abbot's residence, but unfortunately they were driven back after only two steps.

"Everyone, go back to your rooms, or I'll kill you with a knife!"

A vicious-looking woman holding a knife stood in front, her eyes moving maliciously across the faces of a group of monks.

The monks all looked terrified and huddled together in fear. An older monk started to ask questions.

"Sir, this small temple is only a place for meditation. We don't often go down the mountain. Whenever we go down, we just do some shopping. I wonder if we have done something wrong? We..."

The woman interrupted him fiercely.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. If you don't want to die, get back to your house!"

As they spoke, several women strode forward a few steps, scaring the group of monks into running into the house.

Seeing this, the woman showed an arrogant grin on her face. After closing the door, she and her men guarded outside the yard.

This is just one of the meditation rooms of the monks in Lingyan Temple, and similar things are happening in several other courtyards.

These soldiers not only surrounded the monks, but also guarded all the passages in Lingyan Temple and blocked the temple gate.

The entire Lingyan Temple was surrounded from inside to outside.

In the guest room, except Luo Pinzheng and the soldiers she brought with her, all the other captured people were equally terrified.

Although they knew that Luo Pin was planning a rebellion, they had no idea how they would be treated in the future.

inside the room.

Luo Pin was turning the teacup in his hand with an unpleasant look on his face.

I just received news that Qin Anmin's family and Su Qinghe's family are still missing, and none of the people sent to the Su Mansion have returned.

A leader-like man in the room spoke in a low voice.

"Lord Luo, should we send a message to them about this matter so that they can prepare in advance? Or should we not come here for now and wait until we catch the person?"

"If one of them escapes, our story might have been leaked."

"Bullshit!" Luo Pin was slamming the table heavily, spitting everywhere.

"The news has gotten out. How can I explain such a big thing? If they blame me, will you take the blame for it?"

"If that gentleman comes, we may still have a chance of survival. If he doesn't come, things have already developed to this point. If we don't bring help, we will have no way out!"

Everyone in the room listened in silence, and Luo Pin was comforting himself.

"Su Qinghe is just a businessman with no power or influence. What we are doing is related to the court. If she is smart, she should stay away from us. Whether we succeed or not has nothing to do with her!"

Although Luo Pinzheng said this, he felt even more flustered at the same time.

If Su Qinghe really ran away, what should we do with the poison in her body!

No! She still has Qin Anmin in her hands. She and Su Qinghe are relatives, so maybe he will come to save her.

After a while, she put the cup heavily on the table.

"Search the temple, don't leave any corner untouched. Whoever finds Su Qinghe first will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!"

"Also, send a few people to surround Shili Xiang! If you don't want to lose your heads, then find Su Qinghe for me!"

She stood up suddenly and waited for the commander to take the order before she hurried out the door. Looking at the direction, it was Qin Anmin's room.

……

"You go over there, we'll go over here! Search them all thoroughly! Don't leave any corner untouched!"

The whole temple was noisy and crowded. Doors of each room were pushed open, and even the locked main hall had to be keyed out.

The monks had no idea what was going on and were in a panic.

Su Qinghe naturally also heard the sound of people searching everywhere. Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Su Qinghe left the kitchen without hesitation.

With their thorough search, the kitchen was certainly not spared.

Su Qinghe changed into a nightgown. At this time, there were lights everywhere in the temple, and she was forced to move slowly. She ran on the roof and then walked on the ground.

Carefully avoiding teams of soldiers, Su Qinghe already had a destination in mind.

About half an hour later, she was already in a room.

The room was dimly lit, with only a solitary candle emitting a faint light.

Su Qinghe climbed in through the window and was standing in front of it. She looked around the room but didn't see anyone.

In the darkness, she heard a slight noise not far away.

She was located close to the bed, and the burning candle could only illuminate the surrounding area.

Su Qinghe held her breath and walked slowly towards the man's location.

Not far away, a black shadow was swaying from side to side. Even in the dark, the round object looked brighter than other things around it.

That’s right, the person in front was a monk, and Su Qinghe was now in a meditation room.

Wuwang propped up his head and looked out with difficulty through a small hole in the window paper.

Because there were soldiers guarding outside, the place he chose was relatively hidden, so the angle he could see was extremely limited.

Just as he frowned and was about to switch eyes, a hand suddenly covered his mouth.

"Well!"

He was so frightened that he almost lost his soul and began to struggle violently.

However, his strength was so weak that the person behind him covered his mouth with one hand and used the remaining hand to hold him in his arms.

The soft touch on his back let him know that the person hugging him was a woman, which made him even more frightened.

"Um..."

Feeling warm liquid dripping onto her hand, Su Qinghe hurriedly whispered to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, it's me."

A gentle voice came to his ears. The voice was familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where it was.

Seeing that he stopped struggling, Su Qinghe carefully dragged him towards the light.

When they arrived at the place, she lowered her head and spoke softly.

"I'm letting you go now, don't scream, you'll know once you see my face."

The man's mouth was covered and he couldn't speak. Su Qinghe only felt the head in her hand nodding.

"Then I let go."

Su Qinghe said this and took both hands away from the man.

As soon as she let go, Wuwang ran away in a hurry, and when he turned around he was still gasping for breath uncontrollably.
