Chapter 74: The Den of Thieves

When Long Yubing walked around the corner, he found Lin Miao, Zhang Tingmu and others hiding in the corner and chatting. Lin Miao saw Mu Wushuang leading Long Yubing and Su Xiaoyu over, and quickly stood up and said, "Uncle Jungle, there is a saying in your hexagram of Yujiang Village, "North Sichuan is not stuck in the north," which is about going to war, right?" Long Yubing nodded without hesitation: "That's right. So we can just go there, we will definitely turn bad luck into good luck."

Zhang Tingmu walked to Long Yubing and bowed and said, "Uncle Master, you and the wooden mouse go to Qingtaochuan first, and we will arrive later." Long Yubing opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhang Tingmu. Su Xiaoyu also asked a little strangely: "Master Zhang, aren't you going back to Jiujian Pavilion with Yang Zuo?" Li Yu pushed Zhang Tingmu to the side, staring at Su Xiaoyu with excitement and said, "Xiaoyu, my senior brother and I have already discussed it-let the Tang Ji and Tingye and Uncle Yang return to Lingzhou. My senior brother and I look for an opportunity to slip away halfway..."

Ge Tangji shouted in anger, "Why is it me again! You always ask me..." Long Yubing slowly walked to Ge Tangji and looked at him and persuaded in a low voice: "Tangji, don't think they treat you as a burden, it's just that you are Senior Brother Yang's eldest disciple, and Senior Brother Yang is going to go back to the sect to explain the situation here, so you must follow him all the way to prevent accidents. This is the sect rule, you know."

Ge Tangji looked up at Long Yubing and leaned against the wall with some frustration: "Uncle Junior, I don't know what you said... But every time I am a deserter, when will I be like my senior brother and the others?" Zhang Tingmu walked behind Long Yubing and coughed: "Dang Ji, there is no way. If it were the second uncle who returned to Lingzhou, I would have to accompany the second uncle."

While a group of people were discussing the itinerary, Mu Wushuang suddenly glanced behind him silently, Lin Miao turned his head and looked behind him. Almost at the same time, Zhang Tingmu pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife quietly, quietly blocking Long Yubing behind him. At this time, several cold lights suddenly came into the air, and Mu Wushuang and Lin Miao reached out to catch the flying hidden weapon. When Li Yu and Zhang Tingye heard the movement, they realized that someone was attacking. Long Yubing was frightened and turned around and almost collided with Zhang Tingmu.

Zhang Tingmu slowly pulled out the fire-printed knife: "Uncle Master stands behind me and don't move! It seems that someone is impatient to live!" Long Yubing immediately covered his mouth with his hands, and then said nervously: "Ah! OK... By the way, where is Xiaoyu?" Lin Miao replied in a low voice and said, "Sister Xiaoyu is behind the wood, it's okay." Mu Wushuang looked at the shuttle dart in his hand, thought for a while and asked Lin Miao, "Is it Tang Zixi?" Lin Miao threw the shuttle dart aside: "It must not be, it's far worse than him."

Mu Wushuang frowned and said, "It's not Tang Zixi, who would it be?" Lin Miao shook his head and sneered: "I don't know, I'd better go and have a look. Brother Zhang, Mu Tou, look at the uncle and sister Xiaoyu!" Mu Wushuang said, "I'll go with you", and then the two disappeared in the night together and disappeared. Zhang Tingmu turned around, looked up at the eaves above his head, and whispered to everyone: "This is a dead end, easy to be surrounded... Surround the uncle and Xiaoyu in the middle! You can come out slowly with me."

As he said that, Zhang Tingmu pulled out the fire-print knife, pricked up his ears and listened to the wind around him. Zhang Tingmu had just walked twenty steps, and suddenly the wind sounded loudly on his left side. Zhang Tingmu immediately leaned back and raised the fire-print knife with his back hand. A sound of golden swords intersecting suddenly rang throughout the night sky. Zhang Tingmu pressed his eyebrows, his arm sank, and the hilt of the knife hit the man's chest. The person who came was unsteadily standing and took two steps back. Zhang Tingmu turned around and slashed the man's neck directly. The man who came shortened his body to avoid Zhang Tingmu's fire-print knife, then stood still and nodded and bowed, "The cold-faced man is good at martial arts, but he failed."

Zhang Tingmu put the big knife on his arm and asked vigilantly: "Failure? What do you mean?" The visitor stood up and put away his weapons: "Don't be afraid, I am actually a servant of the Bai Mansion. As long as I defeat any of you, I can recover from my freedom." Long Yubing tried his best to identify the man's face: "Family Master of the Bai Mansion? Who sent you here? Bai Yanyan?"

The servant whispered, "Miss misunderstood. To be honest, the servants of the Bai family are all thieves who kill and rob. Bai Gongzhi imprisoned us here. They are servants during the day and killers at night. We lowered our heads during the day, just for fear of being recognized." Li Yu tskated and frowned: "What do you mean by beating us and defeating us can restore freedom?"

The servant looked behind him and explained, "It means that as long as you defeat someone other than the servant, you can leave here." Zhang Tingmu slowly put away the fire knife and asked, "Including guests who do not know martial arts?" The servant hurriedly denied, "No, no, we must not attack people who do not know martial arts. Bai Gaoming has his own rules. In addition to guests who do know martial arts, if they can attack Bai Gaoming, she will also give us a thousand taels of silver to settle down for us."

Zhang Tingye said with an Oh, "That is to say, Senior Bai will be in the thief's nest at night." The servant nodded: "That's why Bai Gaoming's martial arts are so powerful." Su Xiaoyu thought for a while and asked, "Then... what if you are killed?" The servant looked at Su Xiaoyu, bowed and said, "Thank you, Miss! I'm still worried about us desperate people on such occasions. Once we meet a master like Mr. Zhang, we will explain it clearly in time, and we cannot seriously injure or kill the visitors. Now I can't attack Mr. Zhang anymore. Mr. Zhang, please take the two ladies back to the room to rest. Everyone else, I hope to be careful on the road, and I will wait for an opportunity to take action." After that, the servant jumped and disappeared.

Zhang Tingmu looked at the dark surroundings and sighed helplessly: "No wonder every room here has thick curtains, and the whole Beppu is pitch black. It turns out that it is a martial arts test for the school guests... Uncle, Miss Su, you two follow me. Tang Ji, be careful." Ge Tang Ji nodded nervously and said. After Zhang Tingmu left with Long Yubing Su Xiaoyu, Ge Tang Ji looked at the murderous Bai Mansion and felt a burst of hair on his back. Li Yu pressed Ge Tang Ji's shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, let's go together."

Zhang Tingye snorted and said, "You two go, I'll take a walk by myself." Li Yu also sneered and said, "Okay, just don't make the Bai family have no servants tomorrow." Zhang Tingye whispered, "What do you mean?" Li Yu squinted Zhang Tingye and said, "What do you mean, you want to go by yourself, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Then Li Yu and Ge Tangji also walked towards the guest room one by one.
