Wulin Xiaohui

When Shen Yizhou went out to take a look, Sha Qinghe had already controlled a person under his sword, it was a middle-aged man wearing coarse clothes.

"Mr. Li?" Shen Yizhou asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

The person outside the door was the storyteller Shen Yizhou met in Dingzhou. At this time, he was standing at the base of Bai'an's wall, with Sha Qinghe's sword resting on his neck.

When the storyteller saw Shen Yizhou, he was also pleasantly surprised: "Brother Shen!"

"Why is Mr. Li here?"

Li Yaozong glanced at Sha Qinghe, Sha Qinghe withdrew his sword, curled his lips, and straightened his back.

Li Yaozong said: "It's hot, the people next door should go out, and the business outside is deserted, so I went home." He looked around vigilantly, and whispered: "I saw a man on horseback carrying A big sack gone."

Shen Yizhou nodded: "I also saw the man on the horse, the one in the sack should be Bai Xiaosheng."

Li Yaozong used to always talk about Bai Xiaosheng's mistakes, but now his face showed a sincere worried look: "Why would someone arrest him? Did he offend someone with the news he usually sent?

The stone table secret he posted last time I think it is very offensive. If I were someone from Xuanji, I would beat him up. "

Sha Qinghe could see that Li Yaozong was just an ordinary person, so he finally relaxed and got closer.

Shen Yizhou said: "Shouldn't be offending anyone. That person kidnapped him definitely not just to teach him a lesson."

He turned to Li Yaozong and said, "Did you see that man's face?"

Li Yaozong shook his head: "That person covered his face, and I was standing far away, so I couldn't see clearly."

Without waiting for Shen Yizhou and Sha Qinghe to show disappointed expressions, he took out another thing: "But I picked up what he left behind."

Shen Yizhou took what was in his hand and looked at it. It was a waist card with the words Shangqing Zhengyuan written on it.

Is it the Shangqing School again?

After listening to Shen Yizhou's experience in the city, Sha Qinghe had always suspected that the people of the Shangqing faction were not good for Xu Lian. After getting the Broken Wind Knife, he was full of doubts about the Shangqing faction. Hearing what Li Yaozong said, he strengthened his inner thoughts and believed that It must be the people from the Qing Dynasty who kidnapped Bai Xiaosheng.

"Where did you get this badge?"

"Behind the study door."

Shen Yizhou had a preliminary guess in his mind, it should be that Bai Xiaosheng tore off the man's waist card during the struggle, and secretly threw it behind the door, hoping that someone would find out.

After bidding farewell to Li Yaozong, Shen Yizhou and Sha Qinghe embarked on the road to recover Bai Xiaosheng.

The man had been away for a long time, and he would definitely not be able to catch up if he pursued hard. We can only hope that he rested long enough on the road before he could catch up halfway.

They traveled all the way day and night, but they still didn't catch up with Bai Xiaosheng's Shangqing faction. Shen Yizhou and Sha Qinghe rushed all the way to the foot of the Shangqing faction.

In order not to be recognized by others, both of them had their faces changed, dressing up as two middle-aged knights.

The two sat in the tea shop at the foot of the mountain to discuss countermeasures. Shen Yizhou and Sha Qinghe had similar smells, and the two chose to sneak into the Shangqing School without any suspense.

Now that the two of them agreed, they sat down and drank tea in peace of mind, waiting for the sky to darken before doing business.

Sha Qinghe drank tea and looked at the surrounding scenery, whispered: "The Shangqing sect is not well-known, but there are quite a few people coming and going."

The two of them sat in a hidden corner in the tea shop, which was convenient for observing the surroundings, and they were very careful in speaking so as not to attract attention.

What Sha Qinghe said made Shen Yizhou feel quite the same. Although the pedestrians at the foot of the mountain of the Shangqing School were not crowded, they could still be called an endless stream. Scholars and knights, traffickers and pawns were all among them.

After Jian Xueliang, a scholar, succeeded the head of the Shangqing School, he made friends with heroes all over the world. Because of his courage to abandon books and follow the sword, he was highly valued by people in the world and admired by scholars. There are a lot of people, and over time, although the reputation of the Shangqing School's martial arts moves is not ranked among the top ten in the Jianghu, the signature of the scholar's sword is very resounding.

However, Sha Qinghe and Shen Yizhou had some doubts about Xue Liang. Sha Qinghe had conflicts with Xue Liang when Gu Yizhuang was alive, and Gu Yizhuang was very rude to Xue Liang in private. Xue Liang lost his admiration, and only treated him as an ordinary sect master in the Jianghu.As for Shen Yizhou, he has personally seen the domineering behavior of the disciples of the Shangqing sect, and even Xue Liang, who is not strictly governed, is not like the blind worship of some people in the world.

After late at night, the two of them guessed that the members of the Shangqing Sect had already rested, so they sneaked up the mountain and climbed into the gate of the Shangqing Sect from the low wall in the backyard.

The disguises of the two were not removed, and they didn't bother to cover their faces, so they searched in the Shangqing faction.

Shen Yizhou thought that the Shangqing faction had captured Bai Xiaosheng, and if he could put him in a sack, he would definitely not be able to provide him with good food and drink, and he must be locked in a firewood room or a prison cell, so he deliberately searched for places with dark lights.

Walking along a clump of dark gardenias, they finally found a small row of low houses. Shen Yizhou waved to Sha Qinghe in the dark, and the two slipped out of the low houses one after another, sticking tightly to the stone wall.

The wooden door of the low room was closed, and dim light came through from inside.

Shen Yizhou stuck the Duanfeng Knife into the crack of the door, gently lifted the latch, and opened the wooden door with a click.

Inside the door was a downward stone step, and the two walked down carefully, paying attention to the sounds around them.

A wooden fence can be seen faintly in the darkness, and the shape of the cell can be vaguely seen.

There was a sudden cough in the silent darkness, and a voice: "Who?"

Although there was only one sound, Shen Yizhou could still recognize that it was Bai Xiaosheng's voice.

The faint light came on, Sha Qinghe blew on the fire, and a bloated man stood in a cell in the middle.

"Mr. Bai, we have rescued you."

Bai An's face was dim under the light, and he looked at the person vigilantly: "Who are you?"

Only then did Shen Yizhou remember that his face had been changed, and quickly explained: "It's me."

He raised the Windbreaker in his hand: "I kept my promise and came with the Windbreaker."

Seeing Duanfengdao, Baigan suddenly realized, and said in a low voice: "This place is very dangerous, let's go out first."

When Shen Yizhou and Sha Qinghe led Bai An to escape from the cell, they found that the outside was already full of flames, and there was a lot of noise. Someone could vaguely hear someone calling for a thief, but they didn't see anyone running towards the low room.

The three of Shen Yizhou watched outside the low room for a while, and they knew that there must be a thief in the Shangqing faction.This trip went smoothly beyond imagination, since someone helped him to make a fuss, Shen Yizhou happily accepted it, and took Bai An from the back of the low room along the wall to sneak away.

To go around from the low room to the back door, you need to keep walking against the wall.In order not to attract attention, the three walked along the base of the wall to the darkest place, Shen Yizhou took the lead, and after the Shaqing River was cut off, the three walked forward without saying a word, and heard the voices of the disciples of the Shangqing sect in their ears.

Suddenly, Shen Yizhou stopped, and he felt something was wrong ahead.

He felt another breathing sound, and Shen Yizhou stretched his hand to the back to stop Bai An, holding his breath to observe the person in front of him.

That person was also clinging to the wall, looking warily at the disciples of the Shangqing sect who were running around, and under the faint moonlight, Shen Yizhou could only see that the person was covering his face.

Suddenly a sharp voice sounded: "Here is the man!"

The masked man rushed out like an arrow, and the sword in his hand chopped down three or four Shangqing sect disciples in an instant.

The three of Shen Yizhou leaned against the wall and watched the fierce battle between the masked man and the disciples of the Shangqing sect, watching the masked man fight and retreat.

Bai An urged in a low voice, wanting to leave quickly.

Sha Qinghe frowned and watched for a while, the more he looked at the figure of the masked man, the more familiar he became, he asked Shen Yizhou: "Is it the great Xia Xu?"

Shen Yizhou also felt that the masked man's movement was very similar to Xu Lian's. Although he deliberately concealed it, he could still discern a trace of familiarity from some small movements.

The two looked at each other, and tacitly grabbed Bai An's shoulders, raised their breath, exerted strength, Bai An soared into the air, and was carried by two forces to leap over the low wall, making a scream and a heavy landing sound.

The movement here finally alarmed the people who were fighting in front, and the masked man also took advantage of the break in the fight to take a look at this side, which made Shen Yizhou and Sha Qinghe see his eyes, and the conjecture in their hearts was confirmed.

"We're here to help you!" Shen Yizhou yelled, and rushed to Xu Lian's side, joining the battle.

Xu Lian obviously recognized his voice, and nodded slightly to make room for the two of them.

Sha Qinghe kicked the person in front of him and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xu Lian stared intently at the enemy in front of him, and said quickly, "They stole the Duanfengdao."

Sha Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that the Duanfengdao was not by Xu Lian's side, probably because he had encountered an accident, and couldn't help but blame himself for entrusting Duanfengdao to him instead of killing him. It was stolen by someone from the Shangqing faction, so he guessed that Xu Lian was not injured, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

The three of them were busy dealing with the disciples of the Shangqing sect who were fighting, but none of them killed them. As a result, the repulsed enemies rushed up again, and they soon became tired of dealing with them.

Shen Yizhou suddenly felt that something was wrong, he slapped the person in front of him away, and asked: "Are you here to grab the Duanfeng Knife?"

Xu Lian hummed briefly.

Shen Yizhou said: "Let's withdraw."

Xu Lian looked at him in surprise, and Shen Yizhou said again: "The Broken Wind Knife is not in the Shangqing sect."

Xu Lian wondered, "Why..."

Shen Yizhou retreated while beating: "It's inconvenient to talk now, I'll retreat first and then talk."

Xu Lian looked at him, and finally believed him. He knocked the person in front of him unconscious with the hilt of his sword, and then stepped back, looking for a suitable escape path.

Bai An struggled to get up from the ground, stood still in shock, and listened to the fighting sounds inside for a while.Looking around, he didn't see anyone, and walked slowly into the distance.

Before he took a few steps, he felt his neck tighten, his shoulders were grabbed, and his feet left the ground again.

The disciples of the Shangqing Sect chased them out, only to see four people stepping on the moon and leaving, one of them was caught between two people and quickly disappeared into the dense forest down the mountain.

Xu Lian led the three of them back and forth all the way, and didn't stop for a rest until they escaped ten miles away.

When Sha Qinghe and Shen Yizhou put Bai An on the ground, they both bent over and gasped for breath.

Only then did Xu Lian see Bai An's face clearly, and asked in surprise, "Bai Xiaosheng?"

Bai An also wondered, "You know me?"

Xu Lian tore off the cloth covering his face, Bai An suddenly realized after seeing his face, and was amazed: "Even Daxia Xu came to save me."

Sha Qinghe coughed from the side: "Master Xu, why did you appear in the Shangqing School?"

Xu Lian said: "Actually, not long after you left, the Broken Wind Knife disappeared. I always suspected that it was stolen by someone from the Shangqing School. I also arrested several Shangqing School disciples before, and finally met one who said to take it. I passed the Duanfengdao, but said it was lost, so I sneaked into the Shangqing faction, trying to find the whereabouts of Duanfengdao."

After hearing this, Shen Yizhou took out the Duanfeng knife that was on his body.

Xu Lian and Bai An had the same expressions on their faces, Xu Lian said in disbelief, "Why are you here?"

Shen Yizhou said: "It's a long story, it's a coincidence, maybe it's God's will." Then he told the origin of the knife and his guess again.

After Xu Lian listened, he said thoughtfully: "From this point of view, my guess should be correct. It is true that the Shangqing faction stole the Duanfengdao."

Shen Yizhou said: "But there is still one thing I can't understand. Why did Xue Liang bring the disciples of the Shangqing School to Ningzhou that day? Could it be that they had a reason to go to Ningzhou?"

Xu Lian frowned before speaking, Bai Xiaosheng sighed, "Actually, the secret of Duanfeng Dao lies not in the blade, but in the scabbard."

Only then did Shen Yizhou realize that the situation was in such a hurry that he hadn't thought of asking Bai Xiaosheng why he was taken captive.

Bai Xiaosheng said: "Little friend Yizhou, I didn't expect that you not only kept your promise, but also risked your life to save me, but I have hidden too much from you..." He paused, and looked at it with some reservations. Xu Lian and Sha Qinghe glanced at each other, and Shen Yizhou hurriedly said: "Brother Sha and Daxia Xu are both upright people, sir, don't worry about it."
