Placid Chang'an

Qi Lin grabbed the rope with one hand, and Qu Ling'er's half of the wrist with the other. The rope hanging on the cliff shook violently for a few times, and finally stabilized.

Qi Lin exerted strength with his hands and pulled the person in front of him. His hands were shaking, and he could feel the body in his arms shaking too.

Just a little bit, just a little bit, and he almost lost people.

"Brother Qi." Qu Ling'er seemed to have not recovered from the desperate situation, and called again uncertainly, looking at the person in front of her without blinking her eyes.

Qi Lin tightened his grip: "Go up and settle the score with you."

Those peach blossom eyes smiled crookedly, and it really was his brother Qi.

Then he frowned again, "How do we go up? This rope can't support the two of us."

Qi Lin found a place to stay, wrapped the two of them together with a rope, and said, "Hold it well."

Qu Ling'er had already tightly hugged Qi Lin's waist with both hands, and he would not let go even if he was asked to let go.

Qi Lin pulled the rope, signaling the people above to pull up, but he didn't fully rely on the rope, he pointed his toes, and flew up into the air.He had already found a few points of leverage on the cliff, and he rose several feet in a row.Qu Ling'er was dumbfounded, no matter how good her lightness kung fu was, she would not dare to do it like this, if she slipped, if she stopped for a moment, she would be doomed.I don't know how his brother Qi did it, but he seemed to be walking on the ground on the cliff, as if he had already been familiar with every stone, and every time he exerted his strength just right, no more, no less, just enough to fall on the next stone superior.

In this way, there is no need to rely on the rope. The rope is just a guarantee to ensure that they will not fall into the abyss if they miss a step.

When he arrived at a certain place, seeing that there was no place to stay, Qi Lin drew his sword backhand, wedged it into the stone wall, and made a temporary foothold.Take a break.

Even though the rain was pouring down on their heads and the two of them were covered in water, Qu Ling'er still felt that Qi Lin must be sweating, so she pulled up her cuff and wiped her forehead, "Brother Qi, I didn't even know you were so good at qinggong. "

Qi Lin shook his head lightly, looking upwards at every opening on the cliff, trying his best to ignore his unstable breath and weak legs.

He held his most important thing in his arms, so he could only be cautious.

The rope was pulled up very quickly, but it was extremely light. A group of people tried their best to pull the two people up, but they never thought that they were exhausted and almost fell backwards.

Su Cen threw himself on the edge of the cliff and looked down. His vision was a bit blurred under the heavy rain. The two of them were clinging to the cliff again. One of them lost his sight in a daze. not coming.

Fortunately, although the figure was erratic, it was rising steadily. Su Cen was relieved, but he didn't dare to relax. He told people to pay attention to pull the rope well, in case the two of them needed it.

After more than half of the climb without any danger, until Qi Lin's vigorous figure could be clearly seen on the top of the cliff, the last section of the rope had no knots, Su Cen slowly breathed a sigh of relief, the string in his heart finally relaxed a little .

Too many things happened this day, which made him somewhat feel powerless. Su Cen straightened up, took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly. The dense cloud over his head made him a little breathless Yes, my body is a little numb after being washed by the heavy rain for too long.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the case, a secret door was involved again. This is the case in Xuzhou, but what about Suzhou?What about Yangzhou?What about other places?How many places are hidden under the calm water surface, and the clues have not yet been revealed.

What did the secret door take so much money from?What role does Song Fan play in it?Su Cen pressed the center of his brows, and the problems came one after another. He didn't expect that the secret door was so intricate, yet it lingered like maggots attached to the bones. He felt a headache for Li Shi.

"The two children were frightened, let's send them back first." Seeing that the matter here was almost settled, Su Cen turned around and said.

Uncle Cao held Erya in one hand and Huzi in the other, and nodded at Su Cen, "I'll thank the little brother below for his kindness in person when I go back."

Su Cen nodded, but looked back past Uncle Cao. The Cangshan Mountain in the distance was dotted with green, and thick mist rose from the junction with the ground.Su Cen frowned slightly, and his eyes slowly gathered. He always felt that something was slowly approaching in the fog, but he couldn't see it clearly.

Just as he was about to turn his head, his pupils pierced through the rain curtain and shrank violently.

Su Cen pulled Second Uncle Cao without warning, and the two children staggered. The next moment, the whizzing arrows passed by their ears, disappeared into the void, and disappeared.

Everyone hurriedly looked back.

"Pull the rope!" Su Cen shouted.

The officials had no choice but to turn around.After Liang Fang explained what he was doing, he also came closer and looked over with Su Cen and Cao Ershu.

A group of people approached under the cover of thick water mist, more than a dozen people, holding arrows and crossbows, and the leader was Song Fan who had just met!

Although there were not many people, they were all armed with sharp weapons, and they were obviously not the same as those who rushed to save people.On their side, Qi Lin and Qu Ling'er were still below, and only Uncle Cao and Liang Fang were still capable of fighting. They not only had to protect Su Cen and the two children, but also a group of officials who couldn't move because of the ropes.

Disparity in strength.

Uncle Cao pulled out the cigarette stick from behind and stood in front of the two children.

Song Fan stepped forward and smiled at Su Cen: "Master Su, we meet again so soon."

Su Cen stared coldly at the person in front of him with a bright smile on his face, but did not respond.

Song Fan was not annoyed, and looked at the two children hiding behind Second Uncle Cao with great interest, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I caught him so quickly."

"Then who is down here?" Song Fan looked down the cliff, but Su Cen stepped forward to block him, and then he reluctantly closed his eyes, and said to Uncle Cao: "You are not kind, the two children are not so kind because of you." You just suffered, how can you let someone else suffer for you?"

Uncle Cao's eyes widened with anger, and he was about to settle accounts with Song Fan, but was blocked by Su Cen in time.

Su Cen ignored Song Fan's aggressive approach, frowned calmly and restrainedly and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Master Su, you are so boring." Song Fan wanted to spread his hands, but his arm was broken by Uncle Cao before, so he couldn't lift it up, so he could only raise his eyebrows and look at everyone, "I have no other intentions, come here to fight with you Say hello and say goodbye to everyone."

As soon as Song Fan raised his hand, all the arrows and crossbows behind him were set up, facing Su Cen and others.

Song Fan raised his lips and smiled: "Are you dancing by yourself, or shall I give you a ride?"

Su Cen looked at Song Fan with frowned eyebrows, and suddenly raised her lips and smiled: "It's such a coincidence, that's what I want to say."

Song Fan was taken aback and turned around quickly.

I saw a group of people behind them who did not know when to appear, each holding a scimitar, with a sturdy figure, with bare arms showing their gnarled muscles—they were the three guards of Tuduo under Prince Ning's command.

Qi Lin and Qu Ling'er finally came up from the cliff, took his scimitar from Wu Chiha's hand, and put them back together.

The three guards of Tuduo voluntarily moved out of the way, and came out from behind the crowd, one holding an umbrella in one hand, dressed in splendid clothes, elegant and dignified.Lifting the umbrella, revealing a pair of dark eyes, dark and deep, like a bottomless abyss.

It is the master of this group of murderous wolves - Prince Ning Li Shi.

Su Cen smiled at Li Shi, then turned to look at Song Fan, with a rare smile in his eyes: "Are you jumping off by yourself, or are you going to give you a lift?"

Song Fan finally stopped laughing, and frowned slightly: "You said you would let me go."

"I also said that I will bring you back again." Su Cen said, "If you had left from the beginning, you would have left Qifeng Mountain by now, and no one would be able to catch you. Go back and throw yourself into the trap."

"Are you plotting against me again?!"

"It's because you can't let go of the trap you designed. If you insist on coming to watch us get caught, I'm just playing tricks."

Song Fan pursed his lips, knowing that he was wrong, and instead of making unnecessary struggles, he raised his hand to let his men put down the arrows and crossbows, and smiled at Su Cen: "We surrender."

Prince Ning stepped forward slowly, pulled Su Cen under the umbrella, looked down at Song Fan, "Let's execute him on the spot."

"You can't kill me." Song Fan took two steps back, clenched the sword in his hand, a little panicked, "If you kill me, you will never know where the 60 taels went."

Su Cen frowned, a little embarrassed.Song Fan is a hidden danger, Su Cen has known this for a long time, not to mention his mysterious identity, his extreme way of handling things alone makes people unable to tolerate him, and the heinous crimes he committed could be punished with capital punishment. .But just as he said, Song Fan had to keep it if he wanted to track down the whereabouts of the official bank. Since Huang Wan'er disappeared, he planned the entire process of Xuzhou's river repair fund. I'm afraid that even Uncle Cao, who was directly involved, may not have an insight into this. In all the links, Song Fan would never tell anyone about the whereabouts of the official bank.

Li Shi didn't struggle for too long like Su Cen, "It's only 60 taels, if you can't get it back, forget it."

"I still know about the secret door!" Song Fan hurriedly said: "Don't you want to know where the main altar of the secret door is? Who is the person behind the secret door? I know everything, and I can tell you!"

Su Cen suddenly understood Li Shi's intentions, "What you said is half true, how do we know what you said is true."

"I am the one who opened the door, and I know the core secret of the secret door," Song Fan now has no protection from the iron coupons of the alchemy book, nor is there any threat to take action. His life is at stake, so he can only show sincerity, "That opera singer Son, the reason why I was chased by the secret door back then was because I knew the secret to open the door!"

Everyone went to look at Qu Ling'er, Qu Ling'er was startled, and then nodded slightly after a while.

So it seems that Song Fan does know something.

Su Cen looked back at Li Shi and asked what he meant.

Li Shi twirled his fingers, his eyes showed a dangerous look, after a long while, Li Shi withdrew his hand, raised his eyes and said: "Kill without mercy."

Song Fan's legs went limp and he almost sat on the ground.

It wasn't until Li Shi went straight past him that he said another sentence: "Spare him a dog's life."

It was a complete massacre, Tuduo Sanwei was well-known, but Su Cen had never seen these people do it, but there was only one word that echoed in his heart at this time - well-deserved reputation.

It happened in an instant, the sharp blade cut across the neck, and many people didn't even have time to wail, the blood had already splashed out, dyeing the entire cliff red in an instant.

When everyone came back to their senses, they only saw corpses all over the ground and the back of Tuduo Sanwei leaving.

Song Fan stood still, his pupils shrank slightly, his legs trembled, and he couldn't move.
