Several people carefully searched the entire forest in the formation, but could not find Lin Pingzhi and Lin Zhennan. Seeing this, Wang Yue guessed that these two people might have left here.
Lu Yi also felt that this was a possibility. After all, if these two people were caught, they would definitely join forces with other people.
But now that most people are here, Lin Pingzhi and his son are not there, so they can only leave Mrs. Lin and run away.
However, what made Wang Yue dumbfounded was that they did not find Lin Zhennan and his son, but actually found the missing 100,000 taels of silver. What a coincidence that the silver was in the cellar behind this forest courtyard.
Wang Yue shook his head helplessly and said seriously, "It seems that these people from the Qingcheng faction are here just for the money, but I don't know who ordered them." Lu Yi felt that what happened was too coincidental
. , and said tentatively, "Why did you choose this place? There happens to be money here!"
Wang Yue knew what Lu Yi was worried about, so he said speechlessly, "What are you thinking? When the money was lost, I still In Hangzhou."
Lu Yi also knew that he was thinking wrong, so he said tangledly, "I'm really sorry, but how can Mr. Wang be so sure that the Qingcheng faction is after the money, but those people we interrogated, they all just said that It's bad luck for the Lin family."
Wang Yue shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I'm not sure. Isn't the reason we chose this place because Zhai Lanye once lived here? So it's normal for money to appear nearby. But there is one thing that is very doubtful. It was the money that was lost first, and the people from the Qingcheng faction came later. What part of the problem went wrong here?"
Lu Yi didn't understand either, so he shook his head and said seriously, "This Let’s not talk about it now. Let’s go through this level first.”
…
Now the two groups of Qingcheng sect probably knew that other Qingcheng disciples might have encountered something unexpected, so they simply stayed where they were and took turns to rest. Cutting down trees was probably the only solution they could think of.
But, as luck would have it, the direction in which they cut the tree, and continued cutting for a while, could really destroy the phantom formation, giving them a chance to escape.
Since nothing could be done, Wang Yue went back with Lu Yi.
Everyone in the small courtyard in the forest was waiting anxiously, and they were relieved to see them come back.
But Lin Pingzhi's mother, Mrs. Lin, couldn't sit still. Those were her husband and son, but neither of them was alive or dead.
Seeing that Mrs. Lin was a little anxious, Yuan Jinxia quickly comforted her and said, "I guess the two of them must have been injured, and they were afraid that people from the Qingcheng faction would chase them in, so they took the opportunity to escape from the phantom formation, but I don't know where they are now. ."
Wang Yue also nodded, and quickly said comfortingly, "Xia Xia is right, we have interrogated the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect, and it is true that two disciples have disappeared. Maybe Uncle Lin is being chased by them. I protected Pingzhi and escaped from the illusion formation, but I don’t know where he is now.” After
hearing the two people’s persuasion, Mrs. Lin hesitated for a moment, and then said, “We don’t have any other friends in Yangzhou, and their father and son will Aren't you going to rush back to the ship?"
Yue Lingshan saw how many people were chattering and said neatly, "What's the point? Let's go back to the ship and have a look." When everyone saw what she said,
they decided to divide their forces into two groups. On the way, Wang Yue, Yue Lingshan and Mrs. Lin went to the Lin family ship to check it out, while the others returned to Yangzhou City first.
And Lu Yi had to suppress so many Qingcheng sect disciples and still had 100,000 taels of silver. He couldn't get away for a while, let alone help.
Not long after they came out of the dense forest, before they had time to separate, they encountered a team of dozens of people. The leader was very impressive and looked like he was either an oppressive young man or a high-ranking official.
When Lu Yi saw this man, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, making it hard for anyone to fault him, "Master Yan!"
Yang Cheng, Wan Yuan Jinxia and a group of Jinyi guards hurriedly saluted, which let Wang Yue know about the young master across from him. Not that easy to mess with.
In fact, Yue Lingshan was a little confused, but no one said anything. After all, it was an official matter, and he didn't care much.
Yan Shifan was always used to being arrogant. He just received the news that the two groups of troops he sent had suffered heavy losses this time, so he hurried over.
Firstly, he wanted to take away the injured Qingcheng sect disciple, and secondly, he also wanted to show off his carriage and horses, letting Lu Yi know that these were all his people, and he should be more cautious when making any moves.
After all, although Lu Yi's father, Lu Bing, is the commander of the Jinyi Guards, he still has to look at the Yan family's face. If Lu Yi doesn't give him face, then there is no doubt that the Yan family will fall out.
Of course, the Qingcheng faction who had taken refuge in him suffered heavy losses this time, so he had to comfort them and bring back all the injured Qingcheng faction masters.
He felt very happy when he saw everyone saluting him, especially Lu Yi who looked like he had eaten a fly.
It was just the indifferent looks of Wang Yue and Yue Lingshan in the crowd that made him feel a little unhappy.
At this time, he saw Yuan Jinxia in the crowd. He looked so much like someone she couldn't ask for. He suppressed the anger in his heart and exchanged a few words with Lu Yi before appeasing him. He said, "Lu experience has made great achievements this time. I wonder if a reward will come soon. I wonder if you can give me a reward and come to my place for a drink?" How could
Lu Yi not understand that Yan Shifan is Zhai Zhai Lanye and Qingcheng at this time ? Pai's backstage, he shook his head decisively and said resolutely, "Master Yan, I still have important things to do. Let's talk about drinking later." Yan Shifan saw that Lu Yi dared not to give
him In order to save face, he snorted coldly and said, "Since Master Lu is busy, then these two girls should not be busy, right?"
Yan Shifan thought that at least one of the two girls here was related to Lu Yi, and he judged that as long as two If a girl goes to his place, Lu Yi will definitely follow her.
It's just that he thought wrong this time. These two women have nothing to do with Lu Yi. He said casually, "Since the Lord wants to invite others, I will take them back first." After Lu Yi finished speaking, he didn't even think about it
. Without giving Yan Shifan time to react, he immediately led his men to escort Yinzi and the Qingcheng faction disciples to evacuate, leaving Yan Shifan a little stunned.
Wang Yue shook his head helplessly. Lu Yi was so ungrateful. He just left at the drop of a hat and left him to clean up the mess alone.
He frowned unconsciously. He was not yet accomplished in martial arts, and he really didn't want to make enemies.
However, he has time and skills, so he is not afraid that his relatives and friends will be injured. If that doesn't work, he can just go back in time to a few minutes ago and take people away in advance.
However, Wang Yue was a little worried. He was the emperor's closest Taoist priest recently, and he was also rewarded with a mansion. Although Yan Shifan didn't take it seriously, he didn't want to offend him for the time being.
So, Yan Shifan said warmly, "There were so many people just now, but I didn't see Taoist Wang. It's really rude. I wonder if Taoist Wang can come to my place for a drink?" Wang Yue probably guessed why
. Although he was so polite, he was not too cold, but said casually, "Master Yan, I'm really sorry, my friend and his father disappeared together. I'm anxious to find him, so I can't go drinking with you. As for These two girls are the helpers I have found, and I am afraid they will fail Master Yan."
Yan Shifan looked at Wang Yue uncertainly for a while, then nodded, and there was no need to force him to stay, and he asked people to get out of the way. The road allowed Wang Yue and his party to walk.
Wang Yue saw that the other party did not forcefully stop him, and he felt relieved that it was one less thing to do, but he still didn't want to cause trouble to himself.
...
The group came to a fork in the road. Yang Chengwan, Yang Yue and Yuan Jinxia returned to the city first, preparing to inquire with the local Wu'an Gang, while Wang Yueyue, Lingshan and Mrs. Lin rushed towards the dock.
The three of them rushed to the dock and observed the Lin family's ship from a distance. They were surprised to find that the ship was quiet, as if there was no one there.
Wang Yue had a bad premonition, and he quickly suggested, "It looks like something is wrong. Let's call some helpers to come together."
Although Mrs. Lin was a little anxious, she was not a ungrateful person. She nodded. , and prepared to go to the Jinyiwei station with Wang Yue.
Yue Lingshan frowned, and said very unhappily, "Why bother? If we disguise ourselves a little, no one will be able to spot us. What if something happens to Xiaolinzi when the Jin Yiwei comes?"
Yue Lingshan's words successfully made Mrs. Lin unable to move. She looked at Wang Yue anxiously and said, "Mr. Wang, I know you are capable. If you can think of a way, we can just go to the boat and take a look. "
Wang Yue saw that both of them said this and couldn't insist on staying any longer, so he reluctantly said, "Okay? But Mrs. Lin will stay here, and Lingshan and I will go, in case there is any problem. , we can still run away quickly."
Mrs. Lin was born in the Golden Sword Wang family, and she actually still has some martial arts skills, but she has become accustomed to being pampered over the years, and her martial arts skills have also fallen behind.
When she saw what Wang Yue said, she didn't object, but said anxiously, "Then thank you so much, Miss Wang Shaoxia."
Wang Yue and Yue Lingshan did not make any contact with Mrs. Lin. After settling Mrs. Lin, they went straight to her house. The big ship walked away.
No one stopped them along the way, but when they were about to board the boat, they were stopped by two men in linen clothes.
Wang Yue frowned in displeasure and said in a cold voice, "I made an appointment with Young Master Lin. Who are you? Why haven't I seen you?"
The two people who were blocking the way looked at each other and said He immediately changed his attitude and said, "The two young heroes, please come in!"
Yue Lingshan didn't think there was any problem, so she walked into the boat unscrupulously, not noticing anything was wrong at all.
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows and clenched the sword in his hand. He felt that as long as Yu Canghai didn't come in person, he could handle it even if he faced the top four talents in Qingcheng, but he just couldn't hold on for too long.
What's more, two of Qingcheng's four heroes are still in the woods. One of them might have died when they rescued Zhai Lanye. There should be no other masters here.
After Wang Yue walked into the boat, he suddenly discovered that although it was quiet outside the boat, there were clanging noises everywhere inside the boat.
Moreover, he actually found several blood stains, and it was obvious that someone had just been killed here.
Of course Yue Lingshan also noticed it. She stopped quickly, as if she suddenly thought of something, and said to Wang Yue, "Master Lu is still waiting for us at the Jinyiwei post. Let this person inform Xiao Linzi that we Just wait for him at the outpost."
Wang Yue looked at Yue Lingshan with some appreciation. The girl was somewhat alert, but she didn't feel much.
Sure enough, before he could speak, several Qingcheng sect disciples suddenly rushed out of the cabin. The leader snorted and said, "Now that we're here, why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Wang Yue casually drew out his sword and smiled
. He said to Yue Lingshan, "It seems that someone is occupying the magpie's nest and wants to make money and kill people! Do we want to do chivalry together?"
After hearing Wang Yue's words, Yue Lingshan giggled and felt very proud. Said, "Then let me teach them a lesson."
The disciples of the Qingcheng Sect did not expect that these two people would not take them seriously, and they attacked them without hesitation.
...
In the corner of the dock where Mrs. Lin was hiding, two figures suddenly appeared. Who else could it be if it wasn't Lin Pingzhi and Lin Zhennan?
Seeing her husband and son suddenly appearing in front of her, Mrs. Lin was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Where are you two hiding? It makes me very worried. Wang Shaoxia and Miss Yue went on the boat to look for you. Now It seems like there will be a fight soon, let's notify people to rescue them quickly."
Lin Pingzhi also nodded and said excitedly, "Daochang Wang and Mr. Lu of Jin Yiwei know each other, let's notify Jin Yiwei to come and rescue them."
Lin Zhennan quickly stopped him. He said seriously, "It's impossible. You forgot about the two Qingcheng disciples who came after us. They know Yan Shifan. The Yan family and his son are all in power. It's impossible for Lu Yi to be willing to do it for us." We offended Yan Shifan."
After hearing the conversation between father and son, Mrs. Lin felt a little incredible and said angrily, "We met Yan Shifan when we came out of the forest. Have you two been around all the time? Why didn't you come out? ?”
Lin Pingzhi was a little embarrassed, so he murmured, "It's Daddy. Daddy said that if we appear here, we will bring trouble to Brother Wang and Brother Lu. Why don't we leave quietly so that the Qingcheng faction can't find us?" , and naturally they dispersed."
Lin Zhennan blushed when his son said these words directly. After all, these words could deceive his son, but they could not deceive Mrs. Lin.
He was afraid that Mrs. Lin would have a problem with him, so he quickly explained, "Madam, that's not the case. Now the Qingcheng faction seems determined to make things difficult for us, and the Jinyi Guards can't protect us. We might as well find someone in the martial arts world." The reputable leader makes the decision for us.”
