Just when Xiao Fengling was immersed in Han Tiexin's domineering but gentle kiss and couldn't extricate herself, there was another hurried running sound outside the door, and Haitang shouted while running: "The teacher is not good! The teacher is not good!"

Xiao Fengling opened the door dumbfounded, and said to the panting Haitang: "I'm fine, tell me, what's wrong?"

Haitang said: "The people sent by the leader to protect the owner of Zhujian Villa have returned. They said that Ling Yun was kidnapped by a group of men in black!"

"What?!" Xiao Fengling was shocked, "Call them over, I have something to ask them!"

Haitang replied: "Yes, Master!"

After a while, four people came over carrying a stretcher. On the stretcher lay a congregant. His right hand and right leg were both broken and wrapped with boards and gauze. There were also several serious cut wounds elsewhere, such as It is the scar left by □□.Seeing that person, Xiao Fengling frowned and asked, "Where are the others?"

The congregation looked like they were about to cry, and replied: "Master, everyone else was killed by that group of men in black, and I was the only one who survived by luck."

Xiao Fengling's eyebrows frowned even tighter, and he stepped forward to catch his pulse. The man's internal injuries were serious, and his internal organs were all damaged. It was lucky that he survived. He patted the man's shoulder lightly, and asked : "How much do you remember of the scene at that time? Tell me."

The man said: "We followed Ling Yun to an inn and settled down. Ling Yun lived there, so we lived in the room next to him. When it was dark, we were about to rest when we suddenly heard a voice coming from Ling Yun's room. We heard the sound of breaking a glass, and hurriedly knocked on the door. We heard that there was no response in the room. We were worried about what happened, so we broke in. At this time, Ling Yun was no longer in the room. The window was open, and we saw him being surrounded by a group of hackers The clothes man was bound and ran along the woods behind the inn, and hurriedly chased after him."

Xiao Fengling asked: "How many men in black are there?"

The congregation replied: "Four."

Xiao Fengling evaluated the kung fu of those four people in his heart: "You and your group were seriously injured by those four people?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the faces of the congregation, and they said softly: "Actually... only three people did it."

Xiao Fengling asked: "Can you see the origin of their martial arts?"

The congregation shook their heads and said: "The subordinates are incompetent, and cannot see their martial arts routines."

At this time, Han Tiexin suddenly came out from the back room and asked, "Then do you remember the appearance and characteristics of those men in black, or is there anything unusual about the weapons they hold in their hands?"

"Han Tiexin?!" Haitang stared at Han Tiexin with wide eyes and said, "Why are you back again? Are you a ghost? Why are you still haunted?"

Haitang had a deep prejudice against Han Tiexin because of Xiao Fengling's matter, and seeing him at this moment, she couldn't help feeling angry.

Han Tiexin ignored Haitang, and continued to ask the congregation: "Don't worry, think about it carefully, and think carefully."

"The ghosts linger... The ghosts linger..." The congregation tried their best to remember, and suddenly they shouted as if they remembered something, "I remember! The person who didn't make a move was called Big Brother Yin by the other three! As for the appearance ... They all covered their faces with black cloths, I couldn't see the weapons. Several of them held knives in their hands, but I didn't see what kind of weapon the one who didn't make a move used. He didn't have a knife in his hand, and his waist He doesn't have a sword, maybe he doesn't use a weapon."

"No, he uses a weapon." Han Tiexin said with certainty, "That man's hand is his weapon."

Haitang said unconvinced: "You haven't even seen that person, how do you know that his hand is a weapon? This is too arbitrary. Unless...you have colluded with those people!"

Xiao Fengling ignored Haitang's words, and ordered someone to take the seriously injured congregation down for recuperation, and then asked Han Tiexin: "Do you know the identities of those men in black?"

Han Tiexin replied: "If I'm not mistaken, those four people are 'Yincao Jifu'."

"What?" Haitang opened her eyes wide, "Don't lie, you think I haven't read a book? How come there are only four people in the underworld? No, it's four ghosts!"

Regarding Han Tiexin's answer, Xiao Fengling also asked rather strangely: "The Underworld? What is that for?"

"Assassin. According to records, it was one of the most expensive killer groups in Jianghu more than 20 years ago. But unlike other killer groups, they only have four members. It is said that they are brothers of the opposite sex. The boss, Yin Chunqiu, has the highest martial arts among the four. It is said that a pair of fleshy palms have been soaked in special medicinal wine, making them invulnerable. The weapon of the second brother Cao Bing is a blood-colored machete, but he takes that knife very seriously, unless he meets someone who he thinks has high martial arts skills or is worth fighting for. People who fight in battle will never use that scimitar in normal business. It is said that the third Dijon and the fourth Fufang are brothers from the same school, and their saber techniques are in harmony with each other, and they complement each other offensively and defensively. They are very difficult characters." Han Tiexin said, "Because they never take on missions alone, they always act with four people, killing a group of people is four people together, killing one person is four people together, and they have been killers in those years, the missions they have taken have never been I missed it, and it was all done. The people in the Jianghu used the homophony of the four people's surnames, and gave them the nickname of "Yincao Jifu"."

Xiao Fengling asked: "Then are they still killers now?"

Han Tiexin shook his head and said: "According to records, he washed his hands in the golden basin more than 20 years ago. Now that he is out of the mountain again, I don't know who has such a big face and financial resources to hire them."

"Perhaps no one invited them." Xiao Fengling analyzed, "Now that Bai Zhuxing's sword and chopping wind have reappeared in Jianghu, it has been widely spread by people in Jianghu. I don't know how many people want to get it. Yincao Jifu may be one of them Judging from the time and place where they took Master Ling away, it doesn't look like they met by chance, but rather follow his trail all the way."

Speaking of this, Xiao Fengling lowered her head angrily: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't handed over the Taoyao Sword to Master Ling and asked him to bury the sword in front of his sister's grave, Master Ling would not have been killed by the villains. captive!"

Han Tiexin stepped forward and patted Xiao Fengling's shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't blame yourself too much, think about it, it's not been a day or two since Taoyao sword became famous in your hands, why didn't anyone come to you to snatch it? Yaojian was Bai Zhuxing's supporting sword Chopping Wind back then. This matter is well known, only Zhuangzhu Ling and us know, even if the four people from the "Yincao Difu" followed Zhuangzhu Ling secretly, how could they be in Lingzhuang? After the Lord obtained the Zhanfeng Sword, he took him away? In other words, how did they know that Taoyao is Zhanfeng?"

Han Tiexin's words seemed to wake Xiao Fengling up, he nodded frequently and said, "You are right, how could 'Yincao Difu' know that Taoyao Sword is Zhanfeng Sword."

Han Tiexin continued: "And if what they want is the secret in the sword, they can kill Master Ling after getting the Taoyao sword, just like the subordinates you sent, why kidnap him? Isn't it cumbersome?"

Xiao Fengling nodded again: "You're right, it seems that the 'Yincao Jifu' wants not only the Zhanfeng Sword, but also Master Ling."

Xiao Fengling walked back and forth in the room for two steps, and suddenly asked: "You said it might be because they know that Master Ling is a skilled swordsmith, and they want to obtain the so-called secret in the Zhanfeng Sword through his help?"

Han Tiexin nodded: "There may be something like what you said. After all, the secret hidden in the sword is different from writing it on paper. How to get it out is also a highly skilled thing."

Xiao Fengling called Hu Zheng and ordered him to find out the escape route of the four people in the 'Yincao Difu' with Ling Yun for further tracking, and then said to Haitang: "Haitang, pack your luggage, the matter of Master Ling is more or less because of me. Now, I’m going to go there myself.”

Han Tiexin hurriedly said: "Feng Ling, your current physical condition, you should rest more!"

But Xiao Fengling said: "My health is very good. Now that Master Ling's life or death is uncertain, how can I rest at ease?"

"Then at least we have to find out their details before making a move." Han Tiexin said, "According to records, the martial arts of the four members of 'Yincao Jifu' are not inferior to the rumors in the world. It is more likely that he will be silenced as soon as possible.”

Xiao Fengling felt that Han Tiexin's words made some sense, so she stopped refuting.

Han Tiexin continued: "We have to think long-term about this matter. I will first ask Master to find out why the four of them came back out of the rivers and lakes. As soon as I have news, I will notify you immediately. Then we will figure out how to save Zhuang Zhu Ling. .”

Xiao Fengling nodded helplessly: "That's the only way to go, everything is up to your arrangement."
