Who lost this loyal dog?

There were still three days before arriving in Lingzhou. Now that they knew about You Ming's plan, Zhang Ze and the others were not going to sit still.

It's just that there are two tails behind it, so you can't startle the snake, and the methods you can use are more limited.

Lin Youjian originally planned to exchange a civet cat for the crown prince, and find someone else to pretend to be Li Lian, but unfortunately time was too tight, and he couldn't find a suitable person for a while. Besides, Qi Wu, the leader, had met Li Lian. Knowing who Qi Wu is and what his temperament is, he might alert the other party if he acts rashly, so he can only give up.

Seeing that the destination was getting closer and closer, it was Lin Youjian who made another plan. The three of them thought it was feasible, so they got busy. Tianyi found the materials and tools, Lin Youjian was the editor, and Zhang Ze was a dog-headed military advisor. Checking for omissions and making up for vacancies, the three of them teamed up and quickly cleaned up in style.

There was only one problem.

No matter how they plan, they will inevitably have a fight with You Ming in the end. The sword has no eyes. Even if the three of them are proud of their martial arts, no one can guarantee that Li Lian will be safe and sound when the time comes. If he was sent away in advance, it would be tantamount to proving to the enemy that they already knew about Nether's plot, which would only increase the number of variables.

What's more, with You Ming's extra attention on Li Lian now, even if he wants to send him, where can he send him?

The plans of the few people were never hidden from Li Lian, so when they were in a dilemma, the child who had been quiet and silent for the past few days spoke up for the first time and put forward his thoughts to them: "Hero Lin, let me follow you, I I will be obedient and obedient, and will not cause trouble for you."

Lin Youjian frowned and refused, "No, in case something happens to you..."

He couldn't do such a thing as pushing a child who couldn't protect himself into a fire pit.

Zhang Ze didn't rush to refuse, but carefully observed Li Lian's expression.

I don't know if it was because he was about to meet the enemy who killed his father and mother, or to fulfill his father's last wish, or just because he could return to his old place, the child changed from his usual lifelessness, leaned forward slightly, and landed on his side With his hands clenched into fists, he was looking at Lin Youjian eagerly.There was a sharp light in his dark brown eyes, like two cold stars in the night sky, shining brightly in the slightly dim carriage.

Maybe he shouldn't stop the children from following them, Zhang Ze thought, besides, at such a juncture, where is it safer than following them?With them around, Li Lian could be protected anyway. If they left their side, if something happened to the child, it would be called beyond reach.

"Hero Lin, I, I, I can help you lead the way. I know where my father hid his things. I..." Facing Lin Youjian's calm and disapproving gaze, Li Lian broke his heart and said his The most sincere thought in my heart, "I want to avenge my father!"

Lin Youjian was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face softened visibly with the naked eye, and he gently persuaded: "You are still young, you can't rush to take revenge for a while, it won't be too late after you learn martial arts in the future."

Li Lian was not so easy to compromise. His neck was stiff, his face was full of unwillingness, and he would not give up until he reached his goal: "When I learn martial arts, can I still find an enemy? Lin Daxia, I am not afraid of death, so don't drive me away." .”

The child's eyes were wide and red, and he tried hard not to let the tears flow down. This stubborn look made Lin Youjian swallow the words he was going to persuade.

Seeing that Senior Lin's attitude had wavered, Zhang Ze chimed in timely: "If Li Lian is left alone, once he encounters Nether, he may not have the slightest chance of escaping."

What Zhang Ze said was right in his arms, coupled with that bit of compassion, Lin Youjian hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, but solemnly told the child: "You must follow me closely."

Li Lian nodded overjoyed.

When he arrived in Lingzhou, according to the child's guidance, Zhang Ze drove off the main road and turned onto a winding path.

Since You Ming came here for the treasure map, he would definitely not make a move before they found the ancestral treasure of the Li family, so the journey went smoothly without any surprises.

The further he went, the more Zhang Ze felt that this section of the road was a bit familiar. He just wanted to confirm with Tianyi, but he saw Lin Youjian sticking his head out of the car. Looking at the situation, he also felt that something was wrong.

He said: "This is the direction to the small county town."

Lin Youjian spoke vaguely, but Zhang Ze understood his meaning in an instant, followed by a moment of silence.

In the small county town, he, Bi Yan and his party found the seriously injured Qin Xun and Xiao Si's "corpse" on the outskirts of the small county town.

Sure enough, it was not accidental that You Ming came to such a remote place, but premeditated.

But the question is, Daqing has a vast territory, how did they lock in such an inconspicuous small place?

Now is not the time to delve into these issues, Zhang Ze kept his doubts in his heart, and the carriage continued to drive forward without stopping.

Because Li Sheng worked in the county government, their family lived in a small county town.

After leaving for nearly a month, when he came to this small town again, Zhang Ze found that it was still deserted and deserted, with no popularity at all.At the same time, the security in the city became stricter. The soldiers guarding the city wore thick and solid armor, carefully compared their faces with a booklet, and searched their carriage carefully before letting them enter the city. In the city, from time to time, yamen servants patrolling with long knives across their waists walked by in line.

Zhang Ze's heart trembled.

This small county is definitely not capable of supporting so many soldiers. These people were probably transferred from other places to maintain law and order.

While guessing whether Gu Qingfeng made a move, he controlled the carriage to twist and turn, pass through alleys, and finally stopped in front of a house on the edge of the city.

"It's here."

When he arrived at the place, Li Lian visibly cheered up. Without the help of others, he jumped off the carriage and trot all the way to the door, intending to open it and enter.

Lin Youjian put his hand on his shoulder, telling him not to advance an inch: "Be careful of deceit."

Li Lian was startled slightly, and stepped back obediently.

Zhang Ze was about to step forward, but Tianyi took the first step and stood still in front of the closed door, stretched out his hand to press on the wooden door expressionlessly, and pushed in with moderate strength.

With a creaking sound, the door opened.

Nothing happened.

It's just that no one has lived in it for a few days, and the house has already been covered with a thin layer of dust. Driven by the wind when the door was opened, it danced wantonly in the air.

Tianyi stepped into the room with steady steps, and his tall and straight body smashed into the floating dust.

After checking the ornaments inside and confirming that there was nothing wrong, he turned around and nodded slightly to Zhang Ze.

Only then did Lin Youjian bring Li Lian into the room.

The child looked at the familiar decorations in front of him, his nose was sour, and he almost cried.

At that time, his mother left in a hurry, and his mother didn't have time to tidy up the house. The iron pot for cooking was placed on the stove, and the lid of the pot had already collected a lot of dust. Next to the iron pot were a few upside-down bowls and a wooden box containing chopsticks.

On the earthen kang, quilts were scattered on the top of the kang, and three pillows, two large and one small, were placed side by side, and there was a depression in the middle that was pressed by people's pillows.

The things are still there, and the temperature above has already dissipated, adding to the desolation.

Returning to the old place, things are different and people are different, it is inevitable to touch the scene and hurt the feelings.

Even though the time was tight, Lin Youjian and Zhang Ze still considerately left some time for Li Lian to calm down.

Although Li Lian was young, he had matured a lot after this big change. Knowing that now was not the time to cry bitterly, he knelt down by the stove quickly, pulled out the remaining firewood, and then stretched his arms to grope in the stove.

When he was almost lying on the ground, Li Lian's face suddenly flashed with joy.

Lin Youjian asked, "Have you found it?"

Li Lian nodded, then shook his head: "That stone and other places are sealed, I can't get it out."

Lin Youjian rolled up his sleeves: "Tell me which stone it is, and I'll get it."

Li Lian made room for him: "A little to the right of the innermost place, there is a stone with three lines engraved on it. My father said that the treasure is hidden under the stone."

According to Lin Youjian's words, after searching in the furnace for a while, he really touched the stone that Li Lian had mentioned, and he patted it lightly with his palm, shaking the whole stone into powder without much effort.

There really is a hole under the stone, there is a small secret room hidden there, and there is a cylinder no bigger than his palm hidden in it, the tentacles are cold and rough to the touch.

He took it out and saw that it was a metal lump, and because of its age, the surface was already stained with rust.

The thing that Nether was chasing after fell into their hands so easily.

Lin Youjian and Zhang Ze looked at each other, put the metal cylinder close to the body, and the group immediately returned to the carriage and left the city smoothly, Zhang Ze also raised his vigilance accordingly.

There are guards patrolling the small county town, and You Ming does not dare to provoke the government easily, so naturally he will not cause trouble in the city.After leaving the city, is the real test.

as predicted.

When the small county town was far away from their field of vision, the next moment, an off-string sharp arrow shot out from the slanted stab, stably and fiercely pierced into the eyes of the horse pulling the cart, and the sharp arrow shot out from the horse with hot blood. The eye on the other side pierced through, and was severely injured. The poor steed that had been with Zhang Ze and the others for five or six days swayed and fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and was completely out of breath.

Lin Youjian protected Li Lian and got out of the car, together with Zhang Zetianyi, they guarded the child firmly in the middle.

The man in black, who had been lying in wait for a long time, appeared and surrounded the four trapped prey.

Two people walked out from the crowd and came to Lin Youjian without haste.

The woman in the bright red dress opened her mouth, but let out a shrill male voice, and opened her mouth to call out everyone's identities: "Lin Daxia, Zhang Shaoxia, Tian Shaoxia, you are really slow in coming, I have to wait for a while."

"Ghost Claw Luo Wulong." Lin Youjian's pupils were constricted, his face was serious, but his poisonous tongue was unambiguous, "Your martial arts have gone wrong, after all these years, have you finally gone wrong with your brain?"

Even though the situation was tense, Zhang Ze suddenly heard Lin Youjian say this, and almost laughed out loud—he always thought that Lin Youjian was calm, self-restraining, open-minded, and quite heroic, but he had such a sharp side. It made people shout happily.

Luo Wulong was so mercilessly choked, he gave up his pretentious and pretentious posture, his "pretty face" was livid.

Jin Yuluo walked away from Luo Wulong's side without a trace, and came to Zhang Ze.

On the opposite side of Tianyi, an unknown man in black stood with a knife in his hand, and said concisely: "Hand over the treasure map."

This is Qi Wu who planned the entire ambush.

Lin Youjian shouted decisively: "Dream!"

Knowing that there would be such an answer, Qi Wu didn't say much nonsense, and directly swung his knife to attack Tianyi. Luo Wulong and Jin Yuluo followed closely, and Lin Youjian and Zhang Ze caught each other in twos. The men in black also swarmed up, aiming at Li Lian who was guarded by three people in the center.

In an instant, there were flashes of swords and swords, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
