Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

"Do you remember the route?"

Man Jiangxue stood on the top of Ziwei Mountain, wearing black clothes and a black hat, looking calmly at the buildings below.

Ji Wanshu quickly glanced at the blueprint in his hand, nodded: "It's all memorized."

After a heavy rain, the night sky was clear, and the cold wind in the mountains was full of moisture. A small piece of the corners of the skirts of the two of them was wet and stuck to the skin of the ankles, which was a little cold.

Since they got the blueprint, they have come here many times to survey the terrain. Although they cannot easily enter the Ziwei sect, it is not a problem to avoid those lookout towers and compare them. After repeated observations in the past two days, the blueprint is indeed It is very accurate, the route and pattern drawn in it are very close to the main altar of the Ziwei Sect, and even many details that are easily overlooked are not missed. It can be seen that the person who drew the picture is very familiar with the Ziwei Sect.

"That's Nangong Min's bedroom, Fenglou," Man Jiangxue stretched out his hand, and pointed to a small building surrounded by red maple trees below. "Yin Qiu is probably in that building."

Ji Wan looked away for a while, and said: "The secret road marked on this map is in the Yulan Palace, not far from the Feng Tower. I'm afraid that Nangong Min will hide Yin Qiu. If we go straight to these two places, it is very likely If it is going to be empty, we still have to catch someone first and ask where Yin Qiu is locked."

Man Jiangxue said, "I don't think Nangong Min will lock her up." She paused, and then said, "Not only that, but she may also take good care of Yin Qiu and give her some respect." free."

Ji Wanshu asked, "Why?"

"Let's not mention who sent the letter to Yin Qiu, just seeing that Yin Qiu can find someone to help, it shows that she is not difficult to move forward," Man Jiangxue said, "not to mention that Yin Xuan and Nangong Min have a sister-brother relationship. We grew up together, even if Nangongmin wants to get the holy sword, but because of Yin Xuan's relationship, she will not treat Yin Qiu harshly, and maybe she will try every means to win Yin Qiu's trust and let her know Ziwei Teaching is not a dangerous place."

Now it seems that the mystery of Shen Mandong's life and death cannot be solved in a short period of time, but as long as Shen Mandong is not confirmed dead for a day, with Yin Qiu in hand, Nangong Min is half sure that he can lure Shen Mandong out. She can know whether the holy sword is in her hands immediately or not. All in all, if Yin Qiu is willing to stay in the Ziwei Sect, it will do no harm to Nan Gongmin.

Rather than intrigue with Yunhua Palace, it is better to play the emotional card with Yin Qiu to stabilize her, this is the most important thing.

If even Yin Qiu himself doesn't want to return to Yunhua Palace, then no matter how hard they try to save each other, it will be useless.

Ji Wanshu felt reasonable, and thought about it: "In this way, Nangong Min will definitely keep Yin Qiu by his side, so we go directly to Fenglou and Yulan Hall, and the chances of finding Yin Qiu are relatively high."

"That's the reason," Man Jiangxue said, "As long as there are no accidents tonight and we follow the plan we discussed in advance, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Ji Wanshu said, "Then when shall we go in?"

Man Jiangxue glanced at the sky, thought for a moment and said: "It's not too late, we can't wait any longer, we'll split up, you go to Magnolia Hall to find the secret way first, I'll go to Yin Qiu, no matter what happens Whether it goes smoothly or not, everything must be premised on ensuring your own safety."

Ji Wanshu nodded in response, the two looked at each other, walked to a pre-selected cliff, and planned to fly down with light work, but before the two of them could leave, they heard a sudden rustling from all around The sound was like a lot of people were approaching lightly.

Man Jiangxue paused, and immediately dodged into a bush to hide her figure. Ji Wanshu also quickly hid behind her. The two of them looked out through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and saw a large number of people in black rushing from the forest Come out, the speed is extremely fast, like a ghost without a trace, the scene is very strange.

As soon as these people rushed out of the forest, they divided into several teams in a tacit understanding, and each rushed towards the observation tower on the cliff.

Not long after, a scream sounded suddenly, and was suppressed deliberately in an instant.

Seeing what these people did, Ji Wanshu was greatly surprised, and said in a low voice: "Who are these people? They are also here to deal with Ziwei Sect?"

Man Jiangxue tried her best to identify their clothes and weapons, but she couldn't figure out why. They were just the most common night clothes and long swords, and there was no feature for people to speculate on their origins.

After killing all the believers stationed at the watchtower, a man in black flew to the outside of the forest and whistled in the direction of the forest. Soon, he heard a "rumbling" sound, and it didn't take long One by one, the wheelbarrows were pushed out from inside. There were many earthen pots stacked on the carts, and there were also many bows and arrows and quiveres.

Ji Wanshu looked closely, frowned and said, "That's..."

"It's wine," Man Jiangxue said, "The tips of the arrows are wrapped in cotton cloth, it seems that they want to set fire to the Ziwei Cult."

Ji Wanshu was taken aback for a moment, and then expressed joy: "Good plan! Why didn't I think of it?" She turned her head to look at Man Jiangxue, her tone filled with joy, "The Ziwei Cult is located in the center of the basin, surrounded by mountains , although it is not easy to attack directly, it is easy to set fire. Once the fire starts, everyone can only leave from the sect door. At that time, we will block the door and kill one by one. Everyone has peerless lightness kung fu, and can they climb the cliff top?"

Man Jiangxue glanced at her, and laughed for no reason: "You can only say a few more words when you talk about these things." She stared at those people pushing the wine jars down the mountain one by one, and said in a low voice, " I have already thought about this method, but we can't do it with just the two of us, so I haven't mentioned it to you."

Some strategies are excellent for one person, and acceptable for two, but they are difficult to control when there are too many people. There are also some strategies that require a lot of manpower. Like these men in black, Ji Wanshu and Man Jiang Even if Xue has a heart, she can't stir up any splashes.

A large number of wine jars were pushed down the bottom of the cliff, and the jars were broken and wine overflowed. They were ignited by sharp arrows with fire. The large area of ​​fire spread rapidly and turned into a big fire at a speed almost visible to the naked eye. Smoke that could not be ignored rose up and floated upwards. null.

Seeing that the main altar below was covered in flames for a moment, many believers rushed out to carry water to fight the fire, Ji Wanshu was extremely happy, and immediately said: "It doesn't matter who these people are, since they create chaos, it just helps us to do things. Uncle, let's go down quickly!"

Man Jiangxue stood up, witnessed the scene below, but frowned: "But they have disrupted our plan by doing this. Nangong Min will definitely transfer Yin Qiu to another place."

Ji Wanshu was stunned: "Oh no, Nangong Min will definitely think we did it, and she will definitely hide Yin Qiu in a more secret place."

It would be even harder to find someone.

"It doesn't matter," Man Jiangxue looked sideways at Ji Wanshu, "No matter what, we must rescue Yin Qiu tonight."

Ji Wanshu gave a "hmm", and the two of them avoided the men in black, and immediately took out their long swords and danced in mid-air, stepping on the hilt of their swords and diving towards the bottom of the cliff step by step.

·

There was no light in the dark room, only a narrow skylight cast a ray of light. Yin Qiu groped for a long time in the dark, but couldn't find any other exit, so he had to sit down against the cold wall.

The sound of footsteps above the head continued, mixed with the shouts of many people. It was expected that the scene should be chaotic and urgent. There were more than ten believers guarding outside the iron gate. After a while, I saw Wen Chaoyu walking slowly over.

"Uncle Wen!" Yin Qiu hurriedly shouted at her.

Wen Chaoyu stood still at the door, looking down at Yin Qiu: "What are you doing?"

There was a secret passage outside, and the lights were not on. Yin Qiu couldn't see Wen Zhaoyu's face very much, so he could only get closer to the window on the iron gate and said, "Is the uncle here? Have you seen her?"

Wen Chaoyu looked at the believers around calmly, and said in a low voice: "No, you just wait there, the person who came tonight is not a disciple of Yunhua Palace, and it has nothing to do with Man Jiangxue."

Not from Yunhua Palace?Yin Qiu was taken aback, and then shouted at Wen Zhaoyu: "Don't lie to me, my uncle must have sent someone to save me."

Wen Chaoyu's complexion was not good, and he said in a deep voice, "What am I lying to you for? Even if Man Jiangxue comes, you can't escape. With me here, she can't even try to rescue you."

Yin Qiu was impatient, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but said fiercely: "What big talk are you talking about? You obviously can't beat the uncle!"

Wen Chaoyu rolled his eyes: "This iron door is made of fine iron, and no one can open it without a key. So what if she is stronger than me? Could it be possible that I can smash this door with one blow?"

Yin Qiu bared his teeth angrily: "You bad woman! Let me out!"

Wen Chaoyu didn't bother to pay attention to her, and ordered the disciples to bring a wooden chair, leaned on the back of the chair and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Seeing that she was still in the mood to doze off at this moment, Yin Qiu turned around in a hurry, and kicked hard on the iron gate a few times, making a loud noise, but Wen Chaoyu seemed to be in a trance, unmoved at all. , and even the dozen or so believers remained motionless, treating Yin Qiu as air.

Helpless, Yin Qiu had to calm down after making a fuss for a while, but she couldn't calm down, she stayed in the dark room and listened to the movement outside, all she could think about was Jiang Xue. Not long after, Yin Qiu ran to Under the window that day, he tried to shout: "Uncle Master!"

"Uncle Master, did you hear me? I'm Yin Qiu!"

"I'm in the darkroom underground! Uncle Master, come and save me!"

"Wen Zhaoyu is injured, she can't beat you! Come and take me out!"

……

The immature voice echoed in the empty dark room over and over again, accompanied by endless echoes, like some frantic puppy barking at the wicked.

At first, Yin Qiu just called Man Jiangxue one by one, but in the end, she shouted more and more vigorously, and the more she shouted, the more angry she became. Almost all the words in her mouth were scolding Wen Chaoyu for being a bad woman, saying that it was not Man Jiang who was seriously injured. Snow's opponent yelled for a long time without stopping.

Wen Chaoyu's forehead twitched when he heard it.

I don't know who couldn't help laughing, and burst out laughing with a "puchi", Wen Zhaoyu opened his eyes immediately, and cursed: "Laugh again for my old lady! I tore your mouths off!"

The face of the believer froze, and he quickly became serious. The other believers who wanted to laugh also hurriedly suppressed their voices, and stood up straight, not daring to make a sound.

Yin Qiu was still shouting: "Uncle Master!"

Wen Chaoyu couldn't take it anymore, stood up and said, "Shut up! Believe it or not, I'll come in and beat you up?"

Yin Qiu shuddered, glanced back at Wen Chaoyu, hesitated for a moment, then shouted angrily to the skylight: "Uncle! Wen Chaoyu wants to beat me, come and beat her!"

Hearing this, the believers couldn't hold back their laughter again.

"I can't deal with you anymore?" Wen Zhaoyu snorted coldly, "Is there any cloth strips? Gag her mouth!"

Yin Qiu hurried to the corner and curled up into a ball.

"If you have the ability to scold me, don't hide!" Wen Zhaoyu pulled the cloth strips handed over by the disciples, and cursed while taking out the keys, "You wait for me!"

Seeing that Wen Zhaoyu was really about to open the door and come in, Yin Qiu suddenly felt bad, stood up in a panic, and hid everywhere.

Seeing her like this, Wen Chaoyu laughed angrily, but he didn't really want to beat her up.

She was just scaring Yin Qiu, she wasn't stupid enough to take the initiative to open the iron gate, if Man Jiangxue heard Yin Qiu's call for help outside, wouldn't it be a chance for her to save someone?

Wen Chaoyu sneered, stuffed the key back into his bosom, held the cloth and went back to the wooden chair and sat down.

Realizing that she was just bluffing, Yin Qiu was somewhat relieved, but stopped shouting.

She looked over the window at the night where the flames were faintly shining outside, and let out a deep sigh.

·

The door of the sect has been breached, and a mass of dark figures flew in, killing anyone they saw. Nan Gongmin stood in the porch with a calm expression, watching the disciples fight in the fire indifferently.

Perhaps it is possible to dress in disguise, but the martial arts of those who come here are clearly seen, clearly not the kung fu taught by Yunhua Palace, but besides Yunhua Palace, what other sect would be so arrogant?

And the people behind this scene are obviously very familiar with the Ziwei Cult, and they can directly attack the terrain weakness of the Ziwei Cult main altar, and set fire to besiege. In addition, these people rushed in just to kill people, without revealing their clear purpose. Things, it seems that this battle is well prepared.

What is the origin?

The fire has burned all over the main altar, and many houses have been burned down. There is thick smoke billowing all around, and the clanging of swords can be heard endlessly.

The believers were busy defending against foreign enemies and putting out the fire at the same time. Fortunately, Qin Zheng led two guardians to fight in time, and blocked the men in black at the door. It can also be regarded as buying time for the believers to put out the fire.

Even though the scene in front of her was a bit tragic, Nangong Min did not show any panic or eagerness, she just looked at the crowd indifferently, and did not make a move herself.

After a while, two black shadows flashed not far behind her.

Ji Wanshu saw Nangong Min's back at a glance, and she whispered to the people around her, "Nangong Min is here, and the three guardians are also outside. Only Wen Chaoyu is missing, and Yin Qiu must be with her."

In the dim light, Man Jiangxue was hidden in the dark, her black dress was about to blend into the night, she stretched out her hand to push back the black veil on the bamboo hat, looked at Nangong Min, and said, "The Fenglou has been burned down, Yin Qiu is not inside , I also went to the Magnolia Hall to see it, but there was no one there."

After the two fell from the cliff top, they searched along the palace buildings one by one, but they couldn't find Yin Qiu's figure. Although they didn't know who came, they had to be said to be a great help. Otherwise, the two of them would never come and go so freely without being noticed by others.

"Then how do we find it?" Ji Wanshu said, "Even though those men in black are attacking fiercely, the Ziwei Cult is not a vegetarian, it's just that they are at a disadvantage for a while. Judging by Nangong Min's composure, she is obviously very confident. Maybe it won't be long before those men in black will be defeated and retreat, we must find Yin Qiu before they end."

Man Jiangxue looked up at the night sky. At this time, the men in black on the top of the cliff stopped shooting arrows, and most of them had entered the Ziwei Cult to fight head-on. Man Jiangxue said: "Choose a hidden place and go to the roof to have a look At this time, where there are many guards, it is very likely that Yin Qiu will be imprisoned."

Ji Wan responded, and the two left the place immediately, looking for a suitable place to wait and see in the chaos.

"Wait a minute," Ji Wanshu suddenly stopped before taking a few steps, "Look, uncle, who is that?"

Man Jiangxue followed her line of sight, only to see a black shadow walking through the courtyard and forest amidst the thick smoke. He came from home for a walk in the garden, almost making people think that he was a member of the Ziwei sect, but he was wearing an airtight night suit and a large black robe, no matter how he looked, he looked like those black clothes People go all the way.

Man Jiangxue narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he looked closely, the man suddenly stopped, turned his head and glanced at her, as if intending to point out the way for Man Jiangxue, and then immediately rushed straight to a building As he went, he even made a gesture to Man Jiangxue.

Ji Wanshu was puzzled, and looked at Man Jiangxue: "Uncle?"

Man Jiangxue immediately said: "Let's go!"

The two were about to leave, and Nangong Min looked at the place where they had been just now as if feeling something.

The fire was raging, reflecting the whole body, Nangong Min's eyes darkened, and after thinking about it, he immediately walked forward.

The author has something to say: remember what Wen Chaoyu said, the next chapter will slap you in the face hhh.
