Overwhelming mountains and rivers

Buckle buckle.

Hearing the knock on the door, Chu Xuanzhao rubbed his swollen forehead and opened the door.

"It's useless to think too much, let's eat something first." Outside the door was a man in white, holding a tray in his hand, with a few side dishes and porridge and steamed buns on it.

Chu Xuanzhao was flattered for a moment, quickly took the tray, and turned sideways to welcome the man into the room.

"Trouble Pavilion Master, I really feel sorry for you."

"It's okay. You are a nice person." The man in white said.

In just a few words, Chu Xuanzhao was inexplicably ashamed.

"Let's eat something. After eating, let's go to Donggu County." The man in white said again.

"Donggu County? Why?"

"Just now I received news from my people that the traces of those killers were identified in Donggu County, and..." the man hesitated, "and I suspect that they may be doing the same thing in Donggu County In any case, we'd better go to Donggu County as soon as possible."

"The same thing? You mean, chasing and killing people?!" Chu Xuanzhao couldn't help being startled, and stood up abruptly.

The man nodded.

"Then let's rush to Donggu County immediately."

"It's useless to be anxious, you eat first." The man regretted not waiting for him to finish his meal before telling him.

…………

After Chu Xuanzhao finished his meal, he saw a red-clothed woman waiting outside the door. Her fiery red robe was rustling in the wind, and a row of silver prism-shaped darts around her waist shone in the morning light.

It's Zhu Qing.

When the woman saw Chu Xuanzhao who was following the pavilion master, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes, apparently thinking of his rumor about the flower radish again.

"Qing'er, don't be rude."

"Yes, yes, Pavilion Master. Qing'er is not being rude, it's just that this carrot is not pleasing to the eye." Zhu Qing said with a smile, and turned her head to stick out her tongue at Chu Xuanzhao.

…………

"Bi Yuan has met the pavilion master."

When the man in white and Chu Xuanzhao rushed to Donggu County following Zhu Qing who came to communicate, Biyuan had already been waiting for a long time. Seeing the two coming, she quickly led them to their foothold in Donggu County.

"What's going on?" the man sat down on the chair as soon as he entered the room, and asked straight to the point.

Chu Xuanzhao consciously sat with him on the chair beside him.

"Since my subordinates reported to the Pavilion Master that they found the traces of those people in Donggu County, they have been leading people to continue the investigation. Last night, the people who discovered them appeared again and killed the common people in several counties. , not daring to say anything, followed them all the way, and found that they had buried their bodies in the woods outside the county seat, and later they disappeared in the valley to the north, which made Zhu Qing hurriedly report to the pavilion master, while the subordinates continued to guard. In Donggu County." Bi Yuan carefully reported the situation to the man in white.

"Well, you are doing the right thing. Go down, keep watching these people's tracks, and be careful in everything. Once they make another move, come and notify me immediately."

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

After Zhu Qing and Biyuan went down, Chu Xuanzhao asked, "Are they really hunting down the people of Donggu County?"

"Well, it should be."

"Why? Why on earth are you repeatedly killing a group of people who are powerless?" Chu Xuanzhao murmured.

"Perhaps, it has something to do with the captured civilians who don't know their life or death."

"Those people who were missing? By the way, the Mushan bandits said that they captured men who were able to work, but the bodies of the people they found were old and weak, women and children. Could it be that the people who were killed belonged to those people?" Family?" Chu Xuanzhao was taken aback by his own thoughts, but the more he thought about it, the more likely he felt.

The number of people who were killed was quite a lot, some of them were old and weak women and children. It is impossible for all of them to have no young adults in their families. If they were killed, how could it be possible that their husbands or sons did not respond, and so many people died? But there is almost no news about it?

Either their young adults are dead too, or it's possible they don't know it.Then the group of young adults who were taken away is very likely to be their family members.But, where exactly were these people caught?Is it life or death now?

"Could it be silence?" Chu Xuanzhao asked out loud.

Young people are taken away for no reason, and their families are most likely to sue and destroy their plans.

"Killing is just one reason. More importantly, I'm afraid it's to cut off the escape of those young people." The man in white continued.

"Cut off their back? Kill their family members and cut off their back? How is this possible?"

"The group of people probably didn't know that their family members were killed, but were recruited into a scam by their captors. Do you remember that the Mushan bandits took their family members away after they escaped? In order not to appear next Mushan bandits, they probably killed the family members of these people, and cut off their contact with the outside world."

"Broken contact? Could it be?" Chu Xuanzhao suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Lushan Temple."

The two spoke at the same time, apparently thinking of something together.

"It seems that Lushan Temple finally has a breakthrough, but the most important thing right now is the murder in Donggu County. They must be prevented from continuing to hunt down and kill people." Chu Xuanzhao had an idea, and his mood gradually improved.

"Well. This pavilion will never allow an organization that kills people arbitrarily to continue to enjoy itself in the world with the reputation of my Chenyin Pavilion." The man in white agreed, "It is also time to drag this killer organization out of sight."

…………

"If things are as we think, then these people will continue to hunt down and kill people. All we can do is wait for them to act again."

Chu Xuanzhao pulled out the folding fan from his waist, held it in his hand, and kept rubbing his thumb back and forth. The crimson purple robe was wrinkled due to running all the way, and Chu Xuanzhao caressed it casually with the handle of the folding fan.

"That's right." The man was still dressed in white clothes, he couldn't see that he had driven for half a day, only the slightly messy hair, which was arranged behind the man's back when the man came in, and hung down on the white clothes "If these people can be saved from the hands of this group of people, it will be a huge blow to Lushan Temple. Since they did not kill all these people at once, but chose to slowly and quietly solve these people in batches, You can tell that they are extremely afraid. With such caution, you can almost imagine what will happen to these people once they are in our hands."

If these people are really the family members of those young and middle-aged people, then as long as they try to let those young and middle-aged people who have been taken away know what their families are suffering now, then they will definitely resist angrily. Can join forces inside and outside to smash the hidden trick of Lushan Temple in one fell swoop.

"At that time, we will have to rely on the pavilion master." Chu Xuanzhao arched his hands towards the man, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and there was a faint hint of evil in the corners of his raised eyebrows and eyes.

"It's just that we each take what we need." The man's voice remained unchanged, and a single sentence clearly separated the affairs of the two of them.

Although this is what he said, Chu Xuanzhao was still full of gratitude to the man. He asked himself, if there was no man, he would never have made it to this point. I am afraid that his life has already belonged to Lord Hades.

"Although it is cooperation, in the end the pavilion master has helped me a lot, but I have hardly helped me with the pavilion master's affairs, and I still feel sorry."

But knowing that the white-clothed man disdains politeness, Chu Xuanzhao just said a word, and did not continue this topic.

…………

In the evening of that day, Zhu Qing came back from the outside in a hurry, took a few breaths as soon as she came in, and said to the man in white, "Pavilion Master! I found their traces outside the county seat, and they seem to be coming to the county seat!"

"Oh? You listen to my orders..." The man gave Zhu Qing a few words without hesitation in front of Chu Xuanzhao, and Chu Xuanzhao couldn't help but nodded.

Zhu Qing hurried down again, the man in white turned his head and said to Chu Xuanzhao, "Let's go."

"it is good."

…………

It was night, in a residential house in the county seat, a woman in her 30s was holding a baby in her arms and coaxing him to sleep.

"Be good, Daddy will be back soon, and Daddy will bring Baoer a lot of delicious food when he comes back. Be good, Baoer, go to sleep."

The woman held the child in her arms and couldn't help being dazed. Her eyes looked through the window paper blown open by the wind and the shadow of the tree outside did not move for a long time.

Dad, where are you?Isn't it easy to get rid of the grievances by letting people pass the word?Didn't you say that you will buy new clothes for Bao'er when you come back?If you don't come back, our mother and I may not be able to eat.

When the woman came to her senses, the baby in her arms had already fallen asleep in a daze. The woman gently placed him in the cradle made of wicker by the child's father, stared at the child for a while, and finally Lie down on the bed.

The breathing in the room became more and more even. At this moment, the branches outside the window shook.

The window was knocked open with a bang, and the woman woke up suddenly. Before she could fully wake up, she saw a sharp knife with a cold light rushing towards her throat.

Just at this moment, a white figure flashed past, the knife snapped into two with a bang, and the cold light flashed faintly when it fell to the ground.

The killer was startled by this sudden situation. Under the moonlight, he could see a man in white standing in front of the woman without hindrance. The man in white had half of a mask on his face.

The owner of Chenyin Pavilion.

Dead, the killer thought desperately.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a fleeting silver light flew past the window with an irresistible momentum.

When he looked back again, the man in white spurted out a mouthful of blood, instantly dyeing his white robe red, which was extremely dazzling under the moonlight.

Immediately afterwards, a black figure flew in from the window, and directly confronted the man in white, making fierce moves.

The killer didn't have time to think, his first reaction was to run.
