Wait a minute, heroine

Tap tap tap...

Footsteps sounded from the dark tunnel, and then the light of the torch gradually illuminated the fine iron railings of the cell.

Cao Aning was sitting in the corner of the cell. Although he was not tortured, he was mentally tortured after being locked up for a long time. His face was visibly tired. He waited until the torch appeared outside the railing and then looked up.

In the dungeon corridor, Hua Junchen stuck a torch on the wall, held a lunch box in his hand, and placed it outside the railing. As usual, he talked about the progress of the investigation:

"Master Cao's resume from the Xihai Protectorate to Yanjing has been carefully checked, and his confessions have been cross-examined with Jia Shengzi and others. No conclusive evidence has been found so far..."

Cao Aning was not stupid. Beiliang had captured him for so long but did not do anything to deal with it. He was simply locked up here. He understood that Beiliang did not care about his confession at all, but only cared about the person behind him. He was alive but his life was at stake. The state is of greatest use to Beiliang.

As a hidden stake, Cao Aning knew that he had become the bait of "surrounding the spot for rescue". Normally, he should kill himself to prevent the court from being plotted for rescue.

But committing suicide requires courage. Although Cao Aning is not lacking in it, the Night King of Hell is too overbearing. He can come in and out of mountains and seas of swords and fire. If he comes over and fishes him out smoothly, in his opinion, it will not be a problem for the King of Hell.

For this reason, Cao Aning did not expect Beiliang to return his "innocence". He just secretly hurt the King of Hell in his heart, hoping that one time he suddenly looked back, the King of Night would appear behind him and scare him half to death.

However, after so many days of secretly cursing, nothing worked. Cao Aning almost gave up. At this time, he stood up and moved to the iron fence. He opened the lunch box and took out the rice bowl from it, devouring it as if he was eating the last meal in his life.

Although Hua Junchen wanted to help, but with his identity here and the Hua family behind him, he really didn't dare to act rashly. Seeing that Cao Aning was almost desperate, he shook his head and sighed:

"I know that Mr. Cao is wronged, but I must also believe that the superiors, the Holy Master and even the Imperial Master, have great wisdom and will never kill Zhongliang in vain..."

Cao Aning took a big mouthful of rice and shook his head when he heard this:

"The superiors are very particular about not using suspects and employing people without suspicion. Now that suspicion has arisen, what we have to do is to kill a thousand people instead of letting one go. Mr. Hua doesn't need to say this. The food is good, thank you."

Seeing this, Hua Junchen could only sigh secretly, got up and walked out of the cell.

The security in the dungeon is very tight. There are four jailers stationed at the entrance. Experts from the Imperial Prefecture are always patrolling the upper and lower cells. Not to mention live people coming to rob the prison, even a fly that flies in will be stared at six or seven times. .

Full of sorrow, Hua Junchen walked out of the dungeon corridor and came to the outside room. He was about to say hello to the jailer and leave, but he saw that the lampstand on the wall seemed to be disturbed by something and flickered for a moment.

The four jailers noticed the change in light and turned to look at the candlestick, only to see a fly hit the flame, almost knocking out the candle.

Seeing this, the jailer quickly pushed the fly away and said:

"I often hear that moths fly into the flames, but this is the first time I've seen this fly fly into the flames."

Hua Junchen didn't think much about it, he just frowned and said:

"Although it is a prison, there are still people in the cell whose case is unknown. Flies are flying everywhere. If the adults from the Criminal Department come to interrogate, you will all have to drink. You still have to clean it up when you have time."

The jailer felt that those who could be put on death row, even if they were really innocent, would not be innocent after entering. However, Hua Junchen’s identity was here, and he just responded at the moment:

"Understood, don't worry, Mr. Hua, we will clean this up when the shift is over."

Hua Junchen nodded slightly and was about to leave when he suddenly heard several more voices coming from deep in the tunnel:

"Ahem..."

——

It was as solid as a stone, and the several-foot-high city wall had no windows. There were people patrolling along the city wall all the time.

Ye Jingtang quietly landed diagonally from the turret where the mysterious master was, and under the cover of night, he came to the bottom of the city wall, then flew up and landed on top of the city wall.

The two warriors patrolling above had almost just passed by. At this time, they were no more than ten feet apart. They could clearly hear footsteps and conversations:

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and in two months at most, Tianlang Lake will be frozen. I'm afraid this new year will not be easy..."

"Don't worry, the Southern Dynasty is only as powerful as the Night Demon. In terms of the military and national strength of both sides, they are still evenly matched. If there is a real war, they will just be passive. It is not that easy for the Southern Dynasty to break into Hudong Road..."

…

Ye Jingtang stood behind him. Because he didn't want to alert the snake, he didn't knock it off easily and just quietly fell into the prison.

The prison is different from ordinary buildings. The interior is full of high walls and narrow alleys. The walls have no windows. It is like a maze. A stranger entering will definitely get lost.

But the Night Terror Hall has reached its current state, and the eyes are no longer needed for investigation. With a little perception, it is discovered that there are several aura activities underground. One of them has entered the unity of heaven and man. Now there are only a handful of Beiliang masters. Unsurprisingly, it should be Hua uncle.

The others are all ordinary fish. Cao Aning's strength is close to that of a mid-range grandmaster. There is only a similar aura below, and his position is fixed. He should be locked in a cell.

After locking the position of the Night Terror Hall, he walked left and right, and soon came to the entrance of the dungeon. When he saw two guards standing guard at the entrance, he raised his hand slightly.

A jailer who was looking around immediately frowned, then scratched his legs through his pants, and then opened his pants legs to look at him.

The partner next to me saw this and came over, lowered his head to check:

"What's wrong?"

"I suddenly got cramps after standing for a long time. It's nothing."

…

While the two of them were checking, Night Terror Hall silently walked down the dungeon steps as if they were home. Although they encountered patrolling guards along the way, they easily avoided them until they reached the deepest part of the dungeon.

Cao Aning was not alone in the dungeon. Some cries of injustice and voices could be heard. Three jailors were patrolling back and forth in the corridor, and the other four were sitting in the entrance room on duty.

Seeing the large number of people, Ye Jingtang found it difficult to completely turn his eyes away, so he hid in the darkness and looked for opportunities. As a result, soon, his father-in-law, dressed in brocade robes, walked out of the tunnel.

When the four jailers saw this, they naturally looked at Uncle Hua and prepared to stand up and salute.

Ye Jingtang found a fly lying on the wall, so he quietly raised his hand and hooked it lightly.

Huhu~

The fly felt as if fate had clamped its throat, and he bumped into the candlelight unprepared, causing the light in the room to flicker. The four jailers and even Hua Junchen looked up.

Ye Jingtang also took this opportunity to float past Uncle Hua and disappeared into the aisle.

The corridor was dark and long, divided into four rows, because Hua Junchen had just visited the prison, and although the three jailors were nearby, they were not in the current corridor.

Night Terror Hall was like a black ghost, coming to Cao Aning's cell.

In the cell, Cao Aning was immersed in cooking. He noticed the change in the light from the corner of his eye, and turned around to look at it. When he looked up, he saw a black-robed King of Hell, standing just outside the fence, even more upright than Hua Junchen, who was visiting the prison. .

? !

"Ahem..."

Cao Aning was caught off guard and spit out a mouthful of rice. Although he tried to suppress it, he still let out two muffled coughs.

Ye Jingtang frowned, and immediately jumped into the air, like a gecko, with his feet on both sides of the aisle and stuck to the top of the wall.

"what happened?"

Hearing the muffled cough, several jailors and Hua Junchen in the room, and even the jailer patrolling in the corridor, turned their heads and asked questions.

Cao Aning's heart was beating like thunder. She knew that she was in big trouble, so she quickly explained in a natural manner:

"I choked when I ate too fast. It's okay."

Although there was nothing wrong with the explanation, out of professional ethics, the patrol guard walked to the door of the cell, took a look inside, and found that Cao Aning looked normal and was wiping his mouth, then turned around and continued patrolling.

Although Hua Junchen had relied on the elixir to enter the union of heaven and man, he was still separated from the Night Terror Hall by several rivers and lakes. He didn't notice that there was a black gecko stuck at the top of the aisle. He came over to look at it and found nothing unusual before continuing on. Out of jail.

Soon, the inside of the prison became quiet again.

Cao Aning ate her rice in small bites. After the black shadow fell from above again, she carefully put down her rice bowl. Her eyes were eager and excited, and she was so moved that she almost cried.

After looking around, Ye Jingtang did not choose to open the lock. Instead, he held the fine iron railings with both hands and slowly expanded them to both sides.

Cao Aning originally wanted to say that the railing was hard, but when she looked up, she saw that the fine iron railing was in the hands of the King of Hell, just like a little girl being crushed by a human flesh ball. Within a moment, it expanded three feet to the left and right, and a terrifying figure appeared. A gap for people to pass through.

Cao Aning's strength was too low, and he didn't dare to move for fear that his aura would attract the attention of the guards. After being signaled by Ye Jingtang's eyes, he quietly stood up with breath holding his breath, got out of the fence, and entered the corridor.

Going in and out of Night Terror Hall by himself was like entering an uninhabited place, but Cao Aning's martial arts skills were too low. Even if he deliberately suppressed it, his breath and steps still sounded like thunder to him. It was difficult not to notice. For this reason, he did not show off when he went out, and raised his hands first. He signaled Cao Aning to hold his troops still.

Cao Aning stopped and waited, only to see Ye Jingtang's figure flash and appear in the room outside the corridor. After being touched lightly by the four jailors, his movements were smooth and soundless. It seemed that there was no force at all, but At the same time, the four jailors' vision went dark and they fell down.

Ye Jingtang quickly held him up at the same time and lay down on the table without making any movement.

Cao Aningrao knew that the Night King of Hell was very capable, but when he saw this scene, he was still shocked. After waiting for only a blink of an eye, all seven jailers in the dungeon lay down, and there was no more sound.

Seeing this, Cao Aning came up to him cautiously and walked out. It was difficult to speak, so he tied up his thumbs and made mouth gestures. The meaning was probably - Your Excellency is wise and powerful, and Aning's admiration is like a surging river...

Naturally, Ye Jingtang didn't respond. They secretly observed the positions of the turret master and Master Xiang Han on the way. When they met someone, they would quietly knock them out and put them aside. However, they reached the exit in a moment and saw the starry sky and silver moon outside.

The number of patrols on the ground is many times greater, and it is difficult to cover up the sound in the open environment. Although he can be completely hidden, as long as Cao Aning appears, it will definitely alert the mysterious master in the corner tower.

For this reason, Ye Jingtang did not choose to sneak anymore. Instead, after determining the direction and route, he gently raised his breath and grabbed Cao Aning's shoulder with one hand.

The prison stands in a river bend with bright moonlight and sparse stars. Countless warriors are patrolling the surrounding area, and there are also several figures looking at the surrounding mountains and fields.

And just when everyone thought the situation was calm and there would be no waves, a building in the center of the prison exploded with a thunderous explosion!

Boom——

In an instant, countless bricks and stones flew around, making a dense sound of breaking wind, and mixed with a black shadow, it almost reached the top of the high wall in the blink of an eye.

But also at this time!

Choking——

Boom!

In the high corner tower, almost as soon as the explosion was heard, there was the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed.

A three-foot green light penetrated the window and shot straight towards the landing point of Night Terror Hall.

Sa——

On the other side of the river, there was also a roar in the Imperial Master's Mansion. Master Xiang Han, who was dressed in a broad robe, holding the sword 'Taiping' in his hand, broke through the dome and jumped into the air. His sharp eyes looked at the man who came out of the prison. silhouette.

Hua Junchen, who had not yet left the prison, suddenly heard an earth-shattering explosion above him. He was startled and his whole body trembled. His first reaction was to fly back to check the situation.

Ye Jingtang was holding Cao Aning with one hand, and when he saw a sword coming, he drew the sword with his left hand and flicked the three-foot Qingfeng sword away. He landed on the city wall with his feet and stepped hard again.

boom--

A gap instantly appeared in the city wall.

Under the strong acceleration, Cao Aning's eyes were already darkened, and his vision had not yet recovered. A stronger pushing feeling came again, almost making him unconscious on the spot.

The figures of the two people also turned into a black line under the night sky, shooting out from the top of the prison city, flying for more than a mile in the blink of an eye, before touching the water, and then bounced up again.

Boom boom boom...

There were constant explosions above the Yan River, and they had reached an extremely far place in an instant.

Because the speed was so fast, the disciples of the Imperial Master's Office patrolling the surrounding areas did not even react, and the Night Terror Hall disappeared from the end of the field of vision.

In the distant mountains and forests, Xue Baijin and others couldn't help but secretly take a breath when they saw this scene.

After all, when Night Terror Hall rescues them, they must start at an even speed and handle it gently. It will be uncomfortable but they can bear it.

But saving a man at this time is obviously too rough. The peak martial saint is so violent and speeds up regardless of the cost. How can Cao Aning, a young master, withstand it? Even if he is not beaten, he will probably suffer internal injuries.

However, Cao Aning probably wouldn't mind either. At this time, he was probably still wishing for Ye Jingtang to have another pair of legs. After all, there were still two people chasing him.

Boom boom boom——

Li Yiliang pulled back his sword in mid-air and found Ye Jingtang running away without saying a word. He immediately galloped and pursued him along the river.

Master Xiang Han, who was also like a python, had already galloped out of the Imperial Master's Mansion in the blink of an eye, creating a huge wave on the black river.

The three of them burst out with all their strength, and the speed was astonishing. But in the blink of an eye, they had already rushed out for more than ten miles, and the prison where the smoke and dust had not yet dispersed disappeared behind them.

Since Li Yiliang returned to Yanjing, he has been preparing for an all-out battle and analyzing Ye Jingtang's strength.

But what he didn't expect was that even though it had only been more than half a month, the Night Terror Hall was already different from what it used to be.

If it was the level of Shuofeng City, it would be impossible for Ye Jingtang to completely avoid his sight and wait until the person was carried out and ready to leave before making any noise.

If Ye Jingtang is discovered while infiltrating, Li Yiliang will cooperate with Master Xiang Han to encircle the area and provide reinforcements, and he is absolutely sure that Night Jingtang will be left behind.

At this time, Ye Jingtang escaped from his pursuit, and the situation was obviously passive. With Ye Jingtang's current level, he had not noticed it when he sneaked in just now, so as long as Ye Jingtang left their sight, he would definitely still not be able to find it.

To encircle and suppress Wukui, at least two Wukui must be sent. This is because if one party is of similar level, one person can only chase the person. The pursuer is passive, just like an eagle catching a chicken. The eagle must It's much faster to catch the chickens running around.

Although Li Yiliang and Xiang Hanshi were two people, they pursued each other late and failed to complete the encirclement. Ye Jingtang ran in a straight line and sprinted, with both of them hanging behind, which was no different from chasing by one person.

And Ye Jingtang is already following a high-explosion route. If you want to be fast with the Eight-Step Crazy Sword, you must first have fast legs. No one in the world can match the speed of Ye Jingtang. Although he is holding a person in his hand, as long as he is not afraid of causing trouble to Cao Aning, Death by disaster would be equivalent to carrying a Junshan Sword. With his current skill, it would have almost no impact.

If the three of them chased like this, they would probably be able to chase them forever, until the Night Terror Hall was exhausted, or the two of them got lost.

After Master Xiang Han chased for a while, he found that it was difficult to catch up in a short time, so he began to scan the surrounding mountains and fields, and reminded:

"Be careful to lure the snake out of its hole. Don't fight until you catch it."

Li Yiliang was recalled from this trip because he was preparing to fight for Master Xiang Han. There might not be anything wrong with the Night Jingtang's "Nine-Nine Return to One", and he would definitely die regardless of victory or defeat.

At this time, Ye Jingtang was flying away with all his strength, and the distance between the two parties was quite far. He wanted to risk his life without Ye Jingtang accompanying him. If he didn't stop him, it would be a fancy suicide, so naturally he would not risk his life in advance.

Hearing "lure the snake out of the hole", Li Yiliang also paid attention to his surroundings, lest Lu Taiqing and his like suddenly come out and be surrounded and suppressed by the opponent.

The three of them chased for dozens of miles in this way. Master Xiang Han found that Ye Jingtang's endurance was amazing and that he would definitely not be able to catch up in a short time, so he stopped on a hilltop and said loudly:

"Night Terror Hall, you can't run away."

Ye Jingtang was flying with Cao Aning, who was almost unconscious, and found that Master Xiang Han and the swordsman in the bamboo hat had stopped chasing. They also stopped two miles away and stood on the bank of the river. He turned around and looked in the distance:

"You tried your best to lure me here, and I responded with a huge urn. Now it seems that it is nothing more than that. If you don't chase me, you will leave."

Everyone in Cao Aning was dumbfounded. After they stopped, their blood and energy were still surging in their lungs. However, at this time, they were still mostly ecstatic about surviving the disaster. Hearing this, he added another blow:

"Thank you, Master Imperial Master, for your hospitality these days. Cao will take his leave."

Ye Jingtang arrogantly took away his subordinates from the tightly guarded death row in front of his face, and even mocked him in front of his face. It can be said to be a great shame and humiliation for Beiliang.

But Master Xiang Han stood on the hill, his robes fluttering in the wind, his expression did not change much, he just raised his right hand and made a greeting gesture.

Li Yiliang frowned, feeling that just letting the tiger go back to the mountain like this seemed like the plan during this period was a bit of a joke.

But the strength of Ye Jingtang lies here. They entered the house and took people away in front of them. They couldn't catch up. So what if they didn't let them go. They didn't say anything at the moment.

Ye Jingtang has just seen the background of the two of them. He is 100% sure that one of them will be killed, even if they are nine or nine.

But if the two of them join forces and Master Xiang Han forcibly changes his life, it will obviously still be risky, not to mention that there is Zhongsun Jin who is not coming behind.

For this reason, Ye Jingtang confirmed that the two of them had given up the pursuit, bowed their hands in a Jianghu salute, and then turned around and left with Cao Aning.

Soon, the two people on the river bank disappeared into the night, and it was difficult to find any trace.

Master Xiang Han stood on the hill and watched with a calm expression, not much unusual.

Li Yiliang sighed softly and asked:

"Once the Night Terror Hall leaves now, there will be no chance to attack in the future. I'm afraid I won't be able to help with the situation that will follow."

Master Xiang Han didn't respond, just waited quietly on the spot.

Tap tap tap...

However, after being deflected, a group of experts including Hua Junchen chased him along the river.

Finding Master Xiang Han standing on the hill looking out, Hua Junchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked anxious and came closer to ask:

"National Master, how is the situation? Is Ye Jingtang dead?"

Master Xiang Han turned around, glanced at Hua Junchen, and said calmly:

"Mr. Hua's son-in-law has a tough life and will not die so easily."

? !

When Hua Junchen heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning and his whole body was shaken. His lips moved and his hand subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword, but in the end he did nothing.

Master Xiang Han glanced back at the direction Ye Jingtang left, then turned towards Yanjing:

"Knowing that Ye Jingtang comes and goes without a trace, how can the court put all the eggs in one basket? Tomorrow at noon, Mr. Hua and Xu Tianying will be waiting for him in Tianjie. If Ye Jingtang can still bring Mr. Hua face to face If you take him away, then I, Daliang, will indeed be doomed."

"..."

Hua Junchen's face turned a little pale when he heard this, but his move was not because of fear of death but because he saw the current situation clearly.

Ye Jingtang even saved Cao Aning, so it was impossible not to save his father-in-law, even if he had a narrow escape.

But today, Ye Jingtang came forward alone and ran to this barren mountain without fighting back. This shows that only the main force of Ye Jingtang came to the Southern Dynasty. If Lu Taiqing and Monk Shenchen were here, they would not let go of this great opportunity to eradicate Xiang Hanshi. opportunity.

It is impossible for Ye Jing Hall to summon experts from the Southern Dynasty in one night. Master Xiang Han knows that Ye Jing Hall has no capable helpers, and also knows that Ye Jing Hall will definitely come tomorrow, so he will definitely go all out tomorrow.

At that time, not only the two main players present, Zhong Sunjin can also prepare in advance at the execution ground, or even go together together, and can also mobilize thousands of troops and experts from all sides to kill people.

As long as the Night Terror Hall dares to come, they will be one person against a country, and for his father-in-law, the Night Terror Hall must come. This situation can be said to be a sure-fire situation.

Cao Aning was indeed the bait, but the court couldn't figure out when Ye Jingtang would come, so they still had this as a backup plan.

Hua Junchen secretly thought that something was wrong, and he was thinking urgently about how to break the situation. But in the current situation, unless his bait died, he would directly stop the idea of ​​Ye Jingtang getting involved in danger.

Hua Junchen hesitated for a moment, then drew his sword and put it to his throat.

Choking——

Ding~

It's a pity that before he could succeed, his sword was knocked off...
