In an inn in Tiantai County, it was lunch time, and there were many diners in the inn.A young gentleman walked in, glanced over, walked to a table and sat down.

There was only one young woman sitting at the table, looking up at him.

The young man smiled and said, "I want to have a seat with the girl in Xiali Huishu, I wonder if it is possible?"

The woman said lightly, "Since you have already sat down, why bother to ask more questions."

"I don't think the girl is an unkind person, so I don't think it's strange if you don't ask me to sit down."

"We have never met before, how can we talk about favors."

Li Huishu raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Miss Ye, we are not strangers."

This young woman was Ye Nian, and within two days of her return to Bianjing, she heard that Elder Xu of the Beggar Gang had been killed. There were rumors in the rivers and lakes that it was Qiao Feng's subordinates, and there was another sound of crusade and scolding.She knew that Qiao Feng was going to find Monk Zhiguang when he came back from Yanmen Pass, and asked him about his life experience, so she first came to Tiantai Mountain to wait for him.

Ye Nian heard this and looked at this man. This man had a long face, slender eyes, thin lips, and there was a bit of frivolity and evil in his eyes. She didn't like it intuitively. Seeing that although he was not wearing a weapon, he was dressed as a warrior. The people in the Jianghu who had seen her in Juxian Manor said calmly, "It doesn't matter whether I have seen her or not. I have to leave first, so I will let you take care of this table." After speaking, he got up and left.

Li Huishu stared at her back for a while, then turned around and picked up the teacup she had just used, licked the rim with the tip of his tongue, and took a slow sip.

The scenery of Tiantai Mountain is quiet and quiet, but the mountain road is winding and winding, making it difficult to walk.Ye Nian walked for a while, and saw a pavilion on the side of the road ahead, so he went to sit down and rest. There was an elderly couple in the pavilion, and there were some incense candles in a bamboo basket beside him. Ye Nian took a look and listened to the old woman. Someone asked, "Girl, did you go to Guoqing Temple to burn incense?"

Ye Nian said, "No, I'm going to Zhiguan Temple. Excuse me, ma'am, how long will it take me to go from here?"

The old woman said humanely, "That's farther than going to Guoqing Temple, and it will take an hour to get there sooner." After a pause, she asked, "What are you doing there, it's just an ordinary small temple, it's nothing People go to burn incense."

The old man on the side was a little unhappy when he heard this, and said, "What do you mean no one burns incense? The master Zhiguang in the temple is a very good man. How many people has he saved in the early years? How many people have he saved? The one who behaves is the real eminent monk who has attained the Tao. People don’t go to that temple because they are afraid of disturbing his cultivation.” What the old man said is true. Back then, people in Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi were suffering from miasma and malaria, and Zhiguang went far away. Gathering bark in a foreign land has saved countless lives, but he himself lost all his martial arts due to illness.He has made great achievements and is admired by people in the world, so his prestige is very high.But the temple where he lived was gray and crude, and the people felt grateful for his kindness, but few people went to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.

The old woman picked up the basket and got up and said, "According to what you said, there are no eminent monks in Guoqing Temple, so let's not go there, just go home."

The old man stopped her, said 'Oh,' and hurriedly said, "I... I didn't say no, this worshiping Buddha and burning incense is a big event, how can it be like a child's play, go when you say you want to go, and don't go if you don't want to go?..."

It wasn't that the old lady didn't really want to go, she let the old man say a few words and everything was fine, the two walked out of the gazebo together and headed up the mountain.

Ye Nian leaned back on the gazebo pillar, thinking that if Zhiguang died, Qiao Feng would inevitably be accused of murder, and there would be another trouble, but that person committed suicide, how would she stop it?Thinking of Qiao Feng, she sighed softly, the time she had to rush from Bianjing to Mount Tiantai was enough time for her to think through many things.In the two lifetimes, she had contacted many people and made many friends, but those who really wanted to approach her, whether with good intentions, malice or other purposes, were never accepted by her, because she did not believe in people's hearts, and people's hearts were unpredictable. Do not believe in human nature, human nature is changeable.Coming to this world to meet Qiao Feng was both accidental and deliberate. She knew his character, behavior, and even his destiny. She was the person who knew him best in this world. At first, she just respected him, but her mood changed unconsciously.

Ye Nian felt happy when he saw him, and missed him when he couldn't see him. Such an honest mood made Ye Nian a little helpless. Was he tempted because he was defenseless?When she saw the note he left in the inn, she realized it. What she thought at the time was that he accepted A'Zhu so easily, why couldn't he even say goodbye to her face to face.

This is something she didn't want to understand, she and A'Zhu are different.A'Zhu is pure and clear at a glance. During the process of acquaintance and companionship with Qiao Feng, he has always been on the weak side. Qiao Feng naturally took care of him.She is mysterious and complicated, even if Qiao Feng has no suspicion and guard against her now, it is impossible for him to accept her without any scruples like he did with Arjuna.

After thinking for a while, Ye Nian remembered that the old woman said that the temple was still far away, so she got up and planned to continue on her way. As soon as she walked out of the pavilion, she heard a male voice behind her, "Miss Ye, are you going to Zhiguan Temple?"

Ye Nian turned around and saw that it was Li Huishu who he had met in the inn, and frowned, "What does this have to do with you? Are you following me?"

Li Huishu laughed twice, walked over slowly, and said, "Miss Ye, don't worry, I just want to ask you a few questions."

Ye Nian didn't move, his wrists trembled slightly, and he hid the dagger in his wrists, and said lightly, "If you want to ask anything, ask quickly, I still have an appointment, if you go late, you are too tired It's not good for others to come looking for me."

Li Huishu paused, wondering if the person she was talking about was that Qiao Feng, and immediately said with a smile, "That's just right, maybe the person who has an appointment with Miss Ye is also the person we are looking for, that's really saved A lot of trouble."

Hearing him say 'we', Ye Nian felt a little vigilant in his heart, subconsciously glanced around, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Of course it's that villain Qiao Feng!" A figure jumped down from the nearby mountain wall. It was a middle-aged man with slender eyebrows and a thin face. He was quite tall. He glanced at Ye Nian and said to Li Huishu, "Mr. Li, Why do you have to talk so much nonsense with her, grab her directly and force to find out the whereabouts of Qiao Feng!"

Ye Nian said, "You speak so strangely, I don't even know who you are talking about, how can I know his whereabouts."

"You don't need to be stupid." The middle-aged man snorted, "When you were in Juxian Village, you talked for that dog everywhere, and you obviously knew him very well."

Ye Nian let out an 'oh' and said, "It turns out that he is a hero who has been to Juxian Village. I am so rude. I heard your tone just now, and I thought it was a bandit who came out of nowhere."

"It's useless for you to play tricks here." The middle-aged man said coldly, "Qiao Feng is vicious and brutal, he even killed many righteous people in the rivers and lakes, and killed Elder Xu of the Beggar Gang a few days ago. I'm afraid it's the turn of Master Zhiguang to expose his identity as a Khitan. Although our martial arts are invincible, we can't let him be a disaster for the martial arts. Now we use some methods and bear some infamy. If you cooperate well and honestly , nothing will happen, if not... Huh! I will teach you some hardships."

Ye Nian clapped his hands and praised, "This is really righteous and majestic. I don't know your name. When I was in Juxian Village that day, I didn't seem to hear your words?"

Hearing Ye Nian's sarcasm, the middle-aged man's face turned ashen. He was known as "Quick Sword Qi Liu" in the world, and he was quite well-known. On weekdays, when talking about Qiao Feng with his fellow men in the world, he always spoke generously and scolded him angrily. , can always get a few words of praise from others.On the day of the hero meeting, he encouraged some friends to go with him. He wanted to show off his performance, but Ye Nian pressured him with all kinds of methods, and finally broke up the meeting in despair. Everyone was like this, but he felt it was a big disappointment. In the future, I will not be able to raise my head and speak in front of my friends.Ye Nian's words just hit his sore spot, and he was ashamed and annoyed, so he reached out to draw the knife.

Li Huishu stopped and said, "You killed her with one knife, how can we catch Qiao Feng?"

It's impossible for Qi Liu to really slash at him like this, but he felt that he couldn't get off the stage. He still put his hand on the handle of the knife, and said to Ye Nian in a cold voice, "Quickly tell me, where is that thief Qiao Feng now?!"

Ye Nian chuckled, and said, "If you really don't know, why bother to come here and wait. You are not Qiao Feng's opponents, and I can understand that you want to use me as a hostage to threaten you, but like now Don't you think it's ridiculous if you ask the question knowingly?"

Qi Liu's face became darker, but Li Huishu said without changing his face, "Since Miss Ye is a sensible person, she should know that cooperating with us is the best choice now, isn't it?"

Ye Nian glanced at him and said, "There is no need to hide this, it's okay to tell you. I said earlier that I had an appointment with someone on the mountain, and that person was Qiao Feng. He is here to visit Master Zhiguang. Asked about some things, but worried about being misunderstood, he asked me to go with me to be a witness. You know that I am not from the Jianghu, and I am working for the court, so I am qualified to be a witness."

Qi Liu sneered, "I'm afraid it's Qiao Feng who went to kill someone, so you go and cover it together."

Li Huishu smiled at the same time and said, "Miss Ye is implying that she is a member of the imperial court, can we not move you?"

Ye Nian sighed, "I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, why don't you come with me to Zhiguan Temple to witness."

The two hesitated a little when they heard the words, a short and thin middle-aged man suddenly turned out from the mountain road in front of him, hurried towards this side, and said loudly, "Don't listen to her nonsense, I just came down from Zhiguan Temple, Qiao Feng didn't Not on the mountain, this woman is trying to delay the time with her rhetoric, if you don't catch her, someone will come soon!"

Qi Liu snorted, "This woman is full of tricks, I said I shouldn't talk nonsense with her, I should hold her safely first." With a sweep of his body, he stretched out his palm to grab Ye Nian.

Ye Nian didn't expect that there was another person, his heart sank, he knew that the situation was dangerous, and it might be difficult to escape today, but he didn't want to stand still, so he stepped slightly sideways and avoided to the side.Qi Liu let out a 'huh', turned his arms around and grabbed her again, Ye Nian took a step back and raised his hand to fight with him, she won a lot of moves, but had to avoid the opponent's palm strike with inner strength, so she defended more and attacked less , in the eyes of others, it seems like a leisurely walk in the garden, with ease, but in fact, it is self-knowledge.

The short and thin man looked impatiently, and said to Li Huishu, "Young Master Li, I don't think Brother Qi can take her down alone, why don't we do it together?"

Li Huishu put his hands behind his back, looked at the two people in the field, with some inexplicable expressions in his eyes, he smiled and said, "Don't bother Mr. Bao to do it." As he spoke, he jumped out and attacked Ye Nian's back.

Qi Liu heard the two talking in his ears, and felt annoyed in his heart, and his attack was even more ruthless.Ye Nian dodged the opponent's successive palms, and when she turned around, Li Huishu was already in front of her. Unavoidably, she raised her hand to catch the opponent's palm, and felt a wave of strength pass into her body, as if The pain like electric shock spread, she let out a muffled groan, her eyes turned black, and she could hardly stabilize her figure.

Li Huishu succeeded in one blow, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, seeing that Qi Liu was about to strike, he shouted, "Wait a minute, Mr. Qi, this woman has no internal strength, you carefully beat her to death."

Qi Liu snorted, and with his palm turned into a knife, he slashed at the back of Ye Nian's neck, knocking her out.
