Baishou loses Shaohua

Arriving in Linzhou by boat from Gushui Town, the four of them traveled lightly and headed towards Qiongcheng by horses instead.

Along the way through Linzhou, all you see are martial arts figures wearing swords and weapons. Three months later, there will be a huge martial arts competition in Linzhou to select a new martial arts leader.

"Leader Bai has only passed away for a month, and these people are eager to compete for position." Xuan Lie sighed.

"I don't know much about Jianghu, but I also know that the martial arts leader Bai Jingyi was in his prime, how could he pass away suddenly?" Ye Nanqing asked.

"For a month, this incident has also been rumored in the Jianghu. It is said that the leader Bai was bitten by a red black-tailed snake when he was traveling three months ago. I couldn't afford to be sick, and I invited famous doctors from all over the world, but it only lasted two short months."

"It can be seen from this that it should be poisoned?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten." Xuan Lie turned to ask Ji Yinghan, "Yinghan, you also walk in the rivers and lakes, have you ever heard of this?"

"I have." Ji Yinghan nodded.

"People come and go in Qianyulou, even I have heard about it, how could Yinghan not know." Yun Xin also interjected.

"Okay, this matter of co-authoring has nothing to do with us, just listen to the excitement." Ye Nanqing felt uncomfortable when she thought of Yun Xin being among the mixed crowd of thousands of feathers.But no matter how much he persuaded, Yun Xin refused to leave there.

The four of them left Linzhou on horseback and set foot on a path among the woods. This path was two or three days closer to Qiongcheng than Guan Road.

On this day, the midday sun shone directly on the ground, and they stopped to take a rest as usual, and tied their horses under the tree.After rushing for several days, the people and horses were exhausted.Fortunately, they could reach Qiongcheng in the evening, so the four of them relaxed a little.

Ji Yinghan turned around to look for a nearby water source, and after a quarter of an hour, he came back with two water bags full of water, handed one of them to Yun Xin, and the other to Xuan Lie.

"What about you?" Xuan Lie asked after taking the water bag.

"I've had a drink, let's go." Ji Yinghan replied.

Not long after the group left, Ji Yinghan suddenly reined in the horse.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Lie also stopped.

"My jade pendant seems to have fallen under that tree, I'll go back and look for it." Ji Yinghan turned his horse's head, "Go first, I'll catch up to you in a while."

"I'll go with you." Xuan Lie turned around and planned to follow.

"No need." Ji Yinghan paused for a moment, then untied the burden tied to his chest, and took off the Qin that he had been carrying on his body and handed it to Xuan Lie: "Help me carry the Qin, it's important to hurry, don't worry about it because of it." I delayed the trip, and it's faster to go back and forth by myself."

Xuanlie thought for a while and nodded: "Alright, then we will wait for you in Qiongzhou."

"I see." Ji Yinghan promised while running towards the direction he came from.

Xuanlie, Ye Nanqing and Yunxin continued to move forward, but Yunxin suddenly stopped after walking for three or four miles.

He turned his head to look at the piano on Xuan Lie's back, his face suddenly became ugly.When he opened his mouth, his voice was trembling: "I have never seen Yinghan wear any jade pendant on his body. This piano is the lifeblood he never wants to leave."

The wind whizzed by his ears pulled Xuan Lie's robe, and he galloped his horse at an absolutely crazy speed, heading in the direction Ji Yinghan had just left.

Xuan Lie's heart seemed to be tightly clenched by a hand, and he couldn't breathe.

Finding Yupei was just an excuse, Ji Yinghan lied to them.

Why did he do this?

If it was Yun Xin's guess that Ji Yinghan might find out that he was being followed by his enemies, wouldn't he be in danger alone at this moment?

Why would he use such a lame excuse to trick them into leaving first?

Where is he now?

Right now he……

One question after another appeared in Xuanlie's mind, but the person who could give him the answer was not there.

He was angry and annoyed, and above all worried.

Xuan Lie didn't know what happened to Ji Yinghan, nor what Ji Yinghan was encountering.He blamed himself like never before, blamed himself for not going with him.

A cloud of dust was left behind where the horses passed, and the sound of heavy hooves was particularly abrupt on this quiet forest path.

Xuanlie suddenly reined in the horse, and the horse neighed in pain.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, Xuanlie stared at the two black-clothed masked corpses on the ground, there were still some bloodstains and traces of fighting.He looked around, but there was no sign of Ji Yinghan.He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and concentrated on listening with his breath held, only the slight sound of the wind around him came into his ears.

"Clatter—" There was the sound of tree branches shaking not far to the southwest.The expression on Xuanlie's face changed, and he jumped up from the horse's back, leaped up the treetops with both feet, and swept silently towards the southwest.

Ji Yinghan stood on the top of the tree with a sword in his hand, his face was filled with a cold and murderous look, and there were a few bloodstains on his white robe, but none of them belonged to him.Three more people have fallen under the tree, and four more people are standing on the branches in the four directions of southeast, northwest and surrounded him in the center.

Clothed in black and covering his face, his whole body exudes the breath of ice numb death, like a crow.These four people formed a strong and reliable net, enveloping Ji Yinghan in it.

Ji Yinghan seemed to be at a disadvantage on the surface, but his face was still expressionless.

Xuanlie resisted the urge to step forward immediately, and stood on a treetop 20 meters away from Ji Yinghan, hiding his breath and quietly observing.He was relieved that Ji Yinghan was not injured.From the two previous fights, he knew that Ji Yinghan's martial arts were not inferior, but he always thought that Ji Yinghan's martial arts should be comparable to his own.But what happened this time made him wonder, how high is Ji Yinghan's martial arts?I have never noticed that I was being followed along the way.

Just as he was thinking, Ji Yinghan had already moved.He unhurriedly jumped up from the branch, and stabbed the sword at the person standing on the east side.The man made a move to meet the enemy, and the other three people had already moved.When he was only one step away from the man in the east, Ji Yinghan suddenly changed his sword move from stabbing to sweeping, and the blade went straight to the face of the man in the south.The man's reaction was rather quick, and he spun around along Ji Yinghan's sword, avoiding the critical point, but his arm was still scratched.

Ji Yinghan's sword moves and pace were so fast that he could hardly see his shadow, and just two short moves had already torn apart the entire encirclement.

With all his might, Ji Yinghan kicked the person in front of him to the ground with a backflip, but the sword in his hand went behind him...

UI.Almost in an instant, four people had fallen to the ground.

Xuan Lie couldn't help but marvel, he almost didn't see Ji Yinghan's move just now.

Ji Yinghan stood there, the blade of the sword that had been washed by blood gleamed with a cold and indifferent light, which was breathtakingly beautiful.The people lying on the ground had died long ago, and Ji Yinghan didn't give them any hope of survival.

"You can come down now." Ji Yinghan turned his back to him, with a firm tone.

Sure enough, it was discovered, which seemed to be expected.Xuan Lie came down from the treetops and came to Ji Yinghan in a few steps.

"Why lie to me?" He used me, not us.

Ji Yinghan just glanced at him, with a jade-like face and a pair of cold eyes that were not at all popular, like a jade-faced Shura.

"I can handle it myself." He raised his hand and inserted the sword into the scabbard.

Xuan Lie blocked Ji Yinghan's way: "I said, don't bear so much alone."

Ji Yinghan frowned, and his voice was so cold, "This matter has nothing to do with you."

"What do you mean?" Xuan Lie grabbed Ji Yinghan's arm and narrowed his eyes to stare at him.

Ji Yinghan glanced at the corpses lying on the ground, expressionless: "These are just little ones, there is someone else following me, and that person is just following orders." In other words, there is something behind that person. With quite a terrible force.

"You think I'll be afraid?" Xuan Lie was indescribably disappointed.

"I just don't want to get involved with irrelevant people." Ji Yinghan sighed slightly, broke free from Xuanlie's arm lightly, whistled, and his horse "kicked" and ran over from the woods.

"Irrelevant person..." Xuan Lie smiled, and his words almost hit his chest, "If I am an irrelevant person, then why did that night in Gushui Town..."

"That night..." Ji Yinghan interrupted Xuan Lie, he got on his horse, faced the empty woods, and said words like a bleak cold wind, "We are all drunk."
