Thousands of years

There was no sound, and after an unknown amount of time, Zhan Zhao thought she had fallen asleep, but she suddenly raised her head from her arms to look at him, her eyes blurred: "Zhan Zhao, it's so noisy outside, I can't even fall asleep."

Zhan Zhao replied helplessly, "Be patient, they are also trying to save us."

Lin Ruoqing lay down on Zhan Zhao's chest again, shook her head to change into a comfortable position, held his hand in her own, with a smile on her lips, closed her eyes again, his palm was warm and dry, The thin calluses in her palm made her feel at ease, and she fell asleep after a while.

Looking at Lin Ruoqing's sleeping face, Zhan Zhao felt his fingers clasped together, and the smile in his eyes could no longer be hidden. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead again, and then closed his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, the cave was finally dug open. It was already midnight, and Bai Yutang rushed in with a torch in hand. When he saw the scene in front of him, his peach eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

Set off

Zhan Zhao had already woken up, and when he saw Bai Yutang rushing in, he shook Lin Ruoqing beside him in embarrassment: "Ruoqing, wake up."

"Ruoqing?" Bai Yutang looked at Lin Ruoqing who was rubbing her eyes in a daze, then at Zhan Zhao, and smiled maliciously: "Zhan Zhao, fifth master, I worried for you for a long time, so you Here, I have soft jade and warm fragrance in my arms, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have rescued you out."

Zhan Zhao felt a faint fever in the base of his ears when he said this, but it didn't show on his face: "Miss Lin's leg was hurt by a rock, she should seek medical attention as soon as possible."

"Oh? Really?" Hearing what he said, Bai Yutang stopped joking and came forward with a torch. At this moment, Lin Ruoqing was already awake. She saw Bai Yutang coming and smiled at him: "Bai Wu Lord, long time no see." While speaking, Lin Ruoqing had already put her legs down from Zhan Zhao's body, Zhan Zhao's legs were numb from the pressure, and he stood up with his hands on the stone wall.

"You girl is really in a lot of trouble. Are you seriously injured? Maybe you can walk?" Bai Yutang expressed his concern, and stretched out his arms to help her up.

Before Lin Ruoqing could think too much, she reached out to grab Bai Yutang's arm. Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao who was at the side took a step forward. The blue figure blocked Lin Ruoqing's hand at the same time, and said coldly, "Don't bother Bai Yutang." Brother, don't worry, Zhan can come and help her."

Bai Yutang's outstretched arm froze there, then he rubbed his nose mockingly, looked at the backs of the two, and said with a chuckle: "It seems that the smelly cat has moved the truth this time."

The two of Zhanlin came out all the way, and saw many Yingyue Palace congregants holding torches to clean up the fallen rocks, they came out of the cave, they met Jiang Ping and Han Zhang, and met Elder Ouyang, they saw that they were safe and sound Everything is very happy.

Ouyang Dian even looked Lin Ruoqing up and down several times, admiring that there is such a similar person in the world. Seeing that her leg was injured, he hurriedly ordered someone to carry a stretcher to carry her down the mountain for medical treatment. Zhan Zhao helped Lin Ruoqing up. Stretcher, and told her a few more words before watching her leave.But he didn't see an imperceptible smile on Ouyang Dian's shrewd face behind him.

Zhan Zhao turned around and cupped his fists at Ouyang Dian and said, "Thank you, senior, for saving me." Ouyang Dian just smiled and said nothing.

Zhan Zhao looked around, and at this time Bai Yutang was coming out of the cave, and said to him, "Zhan Zhao, the bodies of Chu Tianyi and Xiang Jun were not found, only a secret road leading to the back mountain was found in the cave. , they should have escaped."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, thought for a while, then turned to Ouyang Dian and said, "Senior, to be honest, Chu Tianyi and Xiang Jun were involved in a murder case in the Central Plains, this junior wants to take them back to Beijing to await trial."

Ouyang Dian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Let me just say, how could it be possible for the fourth-rank imperial guards with swords in the Song Dynasty to go to the Western Regions just for a woman?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly, knowing that with his shrewdness, it was impossible for him not to know his identity. "The junior didn't hide it intentionally, please forgive me, senior."

"Okay, go and chase them quickly. I also sent people to search for them, but I don't know if they can still be caught up?" Ouyang Dian was very enthusiastic, and getting rid of Chu Tianyi, a serious problem, would only benefit him. no harm.

"So, thank you, senior." Zhan Zhao winked at Bai Yutang who was beside him, and Bai Yutang followed with Huaying in his hand and a torch.

"Old Five, you and Zhan Zhao can go, and my second brother and I will stay here to see if we can help Senior Ouyang." Fan Jiangshu Jiang Ping looked at Ouyang Dianyu with a pun in his hand, holding a goose feather fan.Ouyang Dian twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't speak again.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang cupped their hands towards Ouyang Dian, and entered the cave one after the other.

Ouyang Dian led his men to get rid of some of Chu Tianyi's remnants, and the rest had long been dissatisfied with Chu Tianyi, but now seeing him abandoning them, they turned to Ouyang Dian one after another, and Ouyang Dian remained calm on the surface , continued to conceal the fact that Hua Yingyue was dead, and wanted to keep Lin Ruoqing as the owner of Yingyue Palace.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang searched all night and there was still no news of Chu Tianyi and Xiang Jun. Although they were anxious, there was nothing they could do. When the morning light was getting brighter, the two went all the way to Ouyang Dian's residence under the leadership of several congregants. Coming, Zhanzhao suddenly remembered something when walking halfway, and said to the congregation leading the way: "Can you take the two of us to Chu Tianyi's residence?"

The few people glanced at each other, then turned around and led the two of them to walk in the other direction.When they came to the gate of an inconspicuous house, those people stopped and said, "This is the residence of Guardian Chu, please come in, you two, we will wait outside."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded, and stepped into the courtyard. The courtyard was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary. They opened the door and entered the room, looked at each other, and then began to check separately.

Zhan Zhao walked up to the desk, and some books and letters were placed in a mess on it. Zhan Zhao took out one of them and unfolded it, and his face changed when he saw it. The letter was not signed, but the content was to inform Chu Tianyi I want to come to the Western Regions, so I remind him to take precautions.My lord's orders to go to the Western Regions were conveyed by the Lord, and no one else knew about it. How did Chu Tianyi know about it?Zhan Zhao straightened out his thoughts, and suddenly remembered that Lord Bao had mentioned before he left that he had met Grand Master Pang when he entered the palace. Grand Master Pang had tried his best to persuade the Holy Majesty to let him come to the Western Regions. Could it be him?Zhan Zhao was a little confused for a moment, if that was the case, then the capital would be peaceful, Master Bao and the others would be safe?

Bai Yutang didn't notice anything, and when he came over and saw Zhan Zhao standing there in a daze, he couldn't help asking in wonder, "Zhan Zhao, what's the matter?" middle.Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything else, the two of them looked around again and found no other abnormalities, so they went out, without saying anything.

The two came to Ouyang Dian's residence. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they almost collided with Jiang Ping and Han Zhang who came out of the house in a hurry. "Second brother, fourth brother, what happened?" Bai Yutang stepped forward and asked.

"Old man, this Ouyang Dian crossed the river and demolished the bridge. He used us to deal with Chu Tianyi's subordinates, and now he backtracks and puts Miss Lin under house arrest, preventing us from seeing her." Han Zhang said angrily.

"What did you say?" Before Bai Yutang could answer, Zhan Zhao who was at the side had already grabbed his arm and asked in a low voice.

"The old man didn't contradict his promise." Ouyang Dian walked out, followed by several subordinates. Seeing this posture, Bai Yutang and others showed their weapons and prepared to deal with it. "Master Zhan, the old man said that after helping you deal with Chu Tianyi, you must let Miss Lin stay as the Mistress of my Yingyue Palace." Ouyang Dian glanced at them and said unhurriedly.

"Senior Ouyang, this junior didn't seem to agree to senior at that time, but said he wanted to ask Miss Lin's opinion." Zhan Zhao straightened his figure and stepped forward step by step, his eyes were burning without fear.

"Hmph, if you want to ask, she is naturally unwilling. It's just that the current situation of Yingyue Palace urgently needs a Palace Master to stabilize the morale of the army. She is the one chosen by Huo Lingzhu, and she looks exactly like Hua Yingyue. Naturally Excellent candidate." Ouyang Dian said in a cold voice, without any of the previous politeness in his tone.

"Senior is too difficult for others." Zhan Zhao gritted his teeth and said, his eyes were full of anger.

"Zhan Zhao, don't talk nonsense with him, let's rush in and rescue Lin girl." Bai Yutang drew his shadow out of the sheath, Han Zhang and Jiang Ping also came forward, and Ouyang Dian glared at each other, the two sides were at war for a while.

At this moment, a congregation hurried in outside the door, that person came to Ouyang Dian and whispered something to him, Ouyang Dian's thin face turned pale instantly. "Why is she here?" Her voice was trembling.He glanced at Zhan Zhao and the others, and told that person: "Let her in." Then he said to Zhan Zhao and the others: "An old friend of the old man came to see him, can you avoid it for a while?"

Before the tone of Ouyang's phone fell, a voice came from the door: "No need, I just need them to be present to talk." The voice was so sweet that Zhan Zhao and the others felt a little familiar, and then a charming figure flashed in from the door, with a graceful appearance. Graceful, with charming eyes and brows, she is Jin Sanniang, the proprietress of Tianfu Inn.Seeing that it was her, they were all taken aback for a moment, and saw her walking in gracefully, and even gave Zhan Zhao a charming smile when she passed by Zhan Zhao's side.

Jin Sanniang came to stand in front of Ouyang Dian, didn't speak, just looked at him.Ouyang Dian felt a little uncomfortable being watched by her, avoided her gaze, and asked, "What are you doing here now?"

"What do you think?" Jin Sanniang asked without answering, and Danfeng's eyes were full of resentment: "Didn't we make an appointment five years ago? As long as I come to you, you will agree to any conditions I ask. Why are you asking for it?" Break your promise?"

"All right,
