CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: Falling into the enemy’s arms
White River Town was an especially large town. The roads paved with bluestone were as smooth as it was bright and beautiful. The road was very wide, making the town seem especially rich. The main street was lined with intersecting flagstones. The streets were bustling with an endless stream of pedestrians.
Gu Yueqing was captivated by this little town, and kept on saying good things. The willow trees on both sides drifted away with the wind. After circling around a willow tree, he said, “This town is so beautiful. Such a beautiful town like this, the food must be delicious. ”
Liu Zhilin said, “Does the town’s beauty have anything to do with food?”
Gu Yueqing grimaced in front of him. “Not talking to a fool like you would at least be better than that crappy biscuit of yours.”
Liu Zhilin said, “This biscuit was made by my mother. Is there anything better?”
Rongyu Bing pointed and said, “There’s a Lucky Inn here. Let’s choose this one.” Before he could even walk to the door, the waiter came out with a face full of enthusiasm, “Dear guest, please come in.”
Gu Yue Qing pulled at the waiter’s hand and asked, “Do you have food here?”
The waiter smiled and said, “This is the biggest hotel in White River Town.”
Gu Yueqing said to Liu Xiulin, “Hey, idiot. Did you hear that? ”
Liu Dong shook his head and said, “Firstly, I’m not a fool. Secondly, this hotel isn’t big, but it has nothing to do with food. We won’t know until we eat. ”
The waiter smiled and said, “This customer really knows how to joke. All of the dishes in this restaurant are excellent, so I’ll keep them safe.”
The five of them found a table and sat down. The waiter brought a menu and served it to Liu Zhilin. “Guest, please order.”
Liu Zhilin smiled and said, “When I was at Shaolin Temple, I ate fast food. At home, it was made by mother, so you can give it to them. I can eat anything I want.”
Gu Yue Qing laughed, “It’s better if Sister Yu Bing orders, so that this idiot won’t be able to order any good dishes.”
Rongyu Bing smiled sweetly and said, “Alright, bring the menu over.”
The waiter gave the menu to Rongyu Bing, who said he’d like to have a look at it. Jade orchid slices, fish-flavored meat pieces, fried kidney flowers, chestnut cabbage. “Alright, that’s all.”
After the waiter finished writing, he walked down. Liu Zhilin said softly to Gu Yueqing, “In the future, you are not allowed to call me a fool.”
Gu Yue Qing turned her head to the side and said, “You were supposed to be a fool. What else can I call you if not a fool?”
The three of them roared with laughter. Rong Yu Bing laughed and said, “What is considered unimportant, the most important thing is the hearts of two people.”
Liu Zhilin touched his head and seemed extremely embarrassed.
After the waiter served up the dishes, Gu Yueqing watched as Rongyu Luo carried the dishes to Bai Wenfei while carrying a bowl of white rice and fiddling with the chopsticks in her bowl. When she saw Liu Zhonglin eating the food, she immediately swallowed the two big bowls and saw him pat his belly as she said, “Miss Gu, you’ve really hit the mark. The food in this hotel is quite good, “seeing that Gu Yue Qing hadn’t eaten a single grain of rice, he asked,” What, you don’t like it? ”
Gu Yue Qing heavily threw her chopsticks on Liu Zhonglin’s body and said, “Not good, I’m full.”
Liu Zhilin said, “That’s not right, I ate very much. How can you be full without eating?”
Rongyu Bing brought another pair of chopsticks to Gu Yue Qing and said, “Come, Miss Gu, don’t be angry. Being angry at a fool isn’t worth it. You’re starving yourself.”
Gu Yueqing took the chopsticks and said, “I won’t bother with you anymore.”
Bai Wenfei said, “Big Brother Liu, you really can stay here as long as you want. It’s so simple that there’s no way to save you.”
Liu Zhilin, on the other hand, was confused and said, “Why do you all call me a fool?”
The crowd outside the hotel stirred slightly, and an old woman said, “How tragic.”
Another big guy said, “Isn’t that so? Their entire family has been exterminated. Who could be so vicious? I didn’t even let a three year old go. ”
Liu Zhilin said, “There must have been a murder somewhere. “Let’s go take a look,” he said, and went out.
Gu Yue Qing finished her meal and put down her chopsticks. “Idiot, wait for me.”
Rong Yu Luo said, “Miss Bai, let’s go take a look as well.” After saying that, he placed some silver on the table.
Bai Wenfei nodded his head and the three of them walked out of the inn. The waiter chased after them and said, “Honored guest, please wait a moment.”
Rong Yu Bing turned around and said, “Is there anything else?”
The waiter smiled and said, “No, I’m still looking for money.”
Rongyu Bing smiled and said, “I’ll give you the excess money.”
The waiter smiled and said, “Please take care, sir.”
Liu Zhonglin walked to the front of a large courtyard with an impressive entrance. Outside, there was a large crowd of people surrounding the door. They squeezed through the crowd and saw that the gate was covered in blood. Corpses were strewn all over the ground. It could be said that blood was flowing like a river.
Gu Yue Qing took a closer look and screamed in fright, “This is too tragic!” “What kind of man did the evil trick,” he said, following closely behind Liu. He was looking over a corpse and bending over to look, when Liu Zuolin suddenly stood up and knocked against Gu Yue Qing’s forehead.
Gu Yueqing cried out, took a step back, stepped on the hand of a dead body, slipped, and fell down. Liu Zhilin immediately went over to catch him, so that she did not fall on the corpse. “Are you alright?”
Gu Yue Qing was overjoyed, thinking to herself that she wasn’t that foolish.
Liu Zhilin saw the happiness on his face and said, “Hey, what are you laughing about.”
Gu Yue Qing was startled. “Let go of me.” She jumped down from his hand and rubbed her forehead. “What are you doing? It hurts so much!”
Liu Zhilin said helplessly, “How would I know you were behind.”
At this time, Rong Yuliang walked in and said, “Big Brother Liu, did you find anything?”
“The murderer is very clean, but he must not have gone far,” Liu said.
Gu Yue Qing replied, “How do you know that the culprit hasn’t left yet?”
Liu Ying Lin said, “You still say I’m an idiot and don’t even know this. Look, the blood on the ground hasn’t coagulated yet. The culprit is still in the vicinity.”
Gu Yue Qing took a small wooden token from one of the corpses. She looked at it and said, “What is this, black, huff.”
Rongyu Luo walked over and took the sign from Gu Yue Qing. His face changed as he said, “It’s the Life and Death Token. This murder case was done by the Life and Death Token again.” “This little sign is a death warrant.”
At this time, a beautiful middle-aged woman walked in from outside. She was about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old and was wearing a purple outer garment. She was extremely beautiful. “That’s right, this is another good thing that the Life and Death Decree has done.”
Gu Yue Qing replied, “Who are you? How would you know?”
The beautiful lady said, “Next week, how would I know? It’s all because I followed them.”
Liu said, “So Miss Zhou was here when the murder happened.”
Zhou Yun Liu said, “This morning, when I was passing by, I noticed that something was wrong, so I quietly came in to take a look, and coincidentally saw a few black-clothed people committing murder here. At that time, there were a lot of them, and I think that I just had a corpse with me when I went in, after they left, I secretly followed behind them.”
Rongyu Bing said, “Sister Zhou was right. Impulsiveness doesn’t solve anything. Did Sister Zhou chase them to their lair?”
Zhou Yun Liu said, “Huang Tian did not disappoint those who followed him, and I found his lair. “I only left after seeing all the mysterious black clothed people entering.”
Liu Zhilin said, “Where is he?”
Zhou Yun Liu said, “Follow me.” With a wave of his arm, he turned around and left.
Rongyu Bing tugged Liu Chunlin’s hand and said, “When it’s time, don’t go in.”
Liu Zhilin turned around and said, “Why?”
Rong Yu Bing said, “This woman came so suddenly. I don’t think what she said is true. I seem to have seen his figure somewhere before, but I can’t recall where.”
Liu Zhilin nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll take over from you guys outside. “If anything happens, just shout loudly.” The five of them and Zhou Yun Liu had arrived at the same yard.
Zhou Yun Liu tried to make everyone be careful as he said, “This is the yard.”
“When are we going in?”
Rong Yu Luo looked around and saw that the surrounding was green and thick. Every ten feet there was a towering tree with a green stone wall. The door was wide and grand, comparable to his own yard. He said, “This is a large family.” It doesn’t look to me like the killer’s hiding place. ”
Bai Wenfei said, “A large family indeed. Only a large family can afford to have so many killers.”
Zhou Yun Liu said, “I’ve heard that the Life and Death Medallion specifically seeks out famous people in the martial arts world. Those who disrespect others and kill those who obey the Life and Death Medallion will be kept in hiding, letting everyone know that someone in the martial arts world has received the Life and Death Medallion.”
Rong Yu said, “So vicious. Last night, they had been busy all night, so they must be exhausted. They must be sleeping soundly in their beds right now. Elder Sister, why don’t we go in now and kill them?”
Rong Yu Bing said, “Alright, let’s go in now. “Sister Zhou, please lead the way.” Turning around, he winked at Liu Zhilin.
Liu Zhilin nodded and whispered in Gu Yue Qing’s ear, “Let’s go in later.”
Gu Yue Qing raised her head to look at Liu Zhalin, and then retreated to a tree.
Zhou Yun Liu leapt over to her while Rong Yu Bing followed closely behind. She thought to herself that this woman’s lightness skills were pretty good. How could she jump over such a high wall without making the slightest sound? Bai Wenfei and Rong Yuluo also came over.
Rong Yu Bing said, “Let’s go.”
Rongyu Luo pulled Rongyu Bing and said, “Wait, Big Brother Liu, they haven’t come in yet.”
Rongyu Bing looked at Zhou Yunliu. When her younger brother said ‘wait’, his expression changed and he immediately said, “We’re not waiting for them.” “Sister Zhou, lead the way.”
Zhou Yun Liu said, “Are we not waiting for your friends? Alright, then come with us.” He lowered his body and quickly passed by a grass patch.
Rongyu Bing suddenly stopped halfway and said, “Not good, we’ve fallen into a trap. Little brother, let’s quickly get out of here.” The three of them turned around and saw five black-clothed men standing behind them.
Zhou Yun Liu laughed, “As expected, the Rong family is not ordinary. I wonder how you found them.”
Rongyu Bing replied, “It’s because I recognized your figure. The movement technique you used to sweep across this lawn was the same as the one you used in the dilapidated temple. No wonder I seemed to have seen your shadow from somewhere, it’s because the movement technique you used in the dilapidated temple was so fast that I couldn’t see clearly. And you’re just as fast on the lawn, and you’re just as back. ”
Zhou Yun Liu said, “You can’t even see the danger. I can’t help but admire your Rong family.”
Rongyu Bing said, “That tragic case was done by you guys, right?”
Zhou Yun Liu said, “If I say no, would you believe me?”
Rong Yu Bing didn’t say anything, but his expression told her that he didn’t believe him.
Zhou Yun Liu said, “I knew you wouldn’t believe me, but that’s not important. My mission is to capture you two siblings.”
Rong Yu said, “Why are you capturing us?”
Rongyu Bing said, “Isn’t that clear? They want us to threaten Daddy. They couldn’t afford to disappoint the Rong family, so they wanted to capture us first. so that my father can listen to the life and death decree. ”
Zhou Yun Liu said, “You’re really smart.”
Rong Yu Luo said, “Don’t even think about it.” He waved his flute and pointed it at Zhou Yun Liu’s shoulder.
Zhou Yun Liu smiled and said, “The Rong family’s second young master is very skillful.” At that moment, she floated backwards and landed on top of a tree.
Rongyu Luo’s attack missed and arrived in two moves. It was also a bit on the ground, but when he touched the ground, it was actually empty. Suddenly, a big hole appeared in the ground. It was as if he had jumped in intentionally, but his reaction was extremely fast. He tapped the flute on the hole, slowed down his descent, kicked off from both sides, and flew out. Just as he leaped out of the ground, what awaited him was a huge net. The four men held him tight with a net.
Zhou Yun Liu Ru flew down and touched a few of the major acupoints on his body. He was instantly unable to move.
Rongyu Bing swung his sword and killed two black clothed men, saying, “Brother.” “Release my little brother!”
Rong Yu said, “Elder sister, quickly save Miss Bai.”
Rong Yu Bing turned around and saw the three men in black were attacking Bai Wen Fei. The sword was aimed at the back of one of the black-clothed men. Suddenly, he felt a cold wind behind him and hurriedly turned around. Just as he turned around, the sword had already pierced into his abdomen. His eyes were extremely wide, as if he could not believe that his sword had arrived so quickly.
When the other black-clothed person saw that she had killed his companion, he slashed his sword towards Rong Yu Bing’s head. Rongyu Bing swung his sword, and the sword in black was cut in half. The man in black was stunned. “What kind of sword is that? Why is it so sharp?” Rongyu Bing then kicked him twice in a row in the chest, sending him flying for three or four feet. His chest felt as if it had been gripped by a boulder, and he was unable to breathe from the pain.
Another black-clothed person caught Bai Wenfei and quickly rushed towards Zhou Yun Liu. Before he had moved a few feet away, the long sword had already reached his back. He hurriedly sent the white temperature in his hand forward and pushed it to Zhou Yunliu’s side, a long sword going straight through his stomach. Rongyu Bing kicked him aside and sent a sword attack towards Zhou Yunliu.
Zhou Yun Liu said, “Wait, if you come again, I’ll kill him.” With one hand, he grabbed Rong Yu Luo’s throat.
Rong Yu Bing halted, not daring to move forward. “Let go of my little brother. Otherwise, I’ll leave a piece of your armor here for you to kill.”
Zhou Yun Liu smiled and said, “I feel very pressured, but I won’t be scared.” Quickly put your weapon down, or else I’ll really kill him. “His finger pressed down on Rong Yu Luo’s throat, but Rong Yu Luo’s lips were tightly pressed together. He did not make a sound, but his expression was ashen.
Rongyu knew that his younger brother hadn’t said a word, but he was still in great pain. He slowly put down his sword and said, “Release my younger brother.”
Zhou Yun smiled and said, “Is that right?” Her fingers loosened and left his throat. “Capture him as well.”
Seeing him release his fingers, before the sword could land on the ground, the tip of Rong Yu Bing’s foot kicked the sword’s hilt, and the sword suddenly flew straight towards Zhou Yun Liu. He quickly followed.
A black-clothed person called out, “Pavilion Master, be careful.” She stood in front of Zhou Yunliu, blocking her way. The long sword pierced his chest.
Rongyu Bing drew his sword from his chest and thought to himself, “Damn it, I couldn’t kill him.” Two men in black were rushing towards her. Both of them were good at this, and their attacks were steady and ruthless. Rongyu Bing shrank and retreated three feet back. The two men in black attacked again. Zhou Yun Liu said, “Stop.” You are all opponents for the young miss of the Rong family. ” The two men in black retreated.
Zhou Yun Liu said, “You even learned to be shameless. This time, I’m not joking with you, you know that in your heart.” I don’t dare to kill you two siblings. This woman, even if he killed her, he wouldn’t be able to defend. Someone cut off the woman’s hand. ”
Rongyu Luo said in shock, “You stinking woman, let go of Miss Bai.”
The two men pushed Bai Wenfei to the ground and stepped on her arm. Bai Wenfei was so scared that he started sweating profusely, but he didn’t make a sound.
Zhou Yun Liu said, “How is it Eldest Miss? Your little brother’s heart is aching.”
Rong Yu Bing said, “This woman is not related to me for no reason. You killing him has nothing to do with me.” He brandished his sword and attacked.
Zhou Yunliu didn’t expect that Rong Yu would ignore this woman’s life and death. He grabbed onto Rong Yu Luo and said loudly, “Chop him down.”
The black-clothed man’s long sword chopped straight towards Bai Wenfei’s palm. Bai Wenfei’s entire body could not help but tremble. Rong Yu Luo said loudly, “No!”
In the instant that the sword’s edge touched his skin, Rongyu Bing halted his footsteps and said, “Stop.”
Zhou Yun Liu was shocked at first, but then he laughed, “Eldest Miss, you really know how to scare people …”
Outside the wall, the wind was blowing gently. Liu Gu and Gu Li were hiding under a tree. Gu Yue Qing said softly, “Ai, idiot.” Why don’t we go in. ”
Liu Zhilin turned his head and ignored her. Gu Yue Qing continued, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Liu Zhilin said, “You’re not asking a fool, I’m not a fool. “Why are you asking me?”
Gu Yue Qing laughed, “Aren’t you a fool? Then why are you talking? Aren’t you just admitting that you’re a fool?”
Liu Zuolin opened his eyes wide and said, “You … I … won’t talk to you.”
Gu Yue Qing sniggered, “Alright, why haven’t they come out yet? Why have they been inside for so long?” Nothing will happen, right? ”
Liu Zhilin said, “It can’t be.”
Gu Yue Qing said, “What’s going on? Why don’t we go in?”
Liu Zhilin said, “It’s like this. Miss Rong thinks that Lady Zhou’s words may not be true. She said that she seemed to have seen Lady Zhou’s back somewhere before. Just in case, we will meet her outside.”
Gu Yue Qing said, “Then why haven’t they come out yet?” It can’t be that something really has happened, right? Let’s go in and take a look. ”
Liu Zhilin said, “Miss Rong hasn’t sent a signal yet? It should be fine. ”
Gu Yue replied, “Signal, what signal?”
“I made an appointment with Miss Rong,” Liu said. “If there’s anything in there, he’ll shout.”
Gu Yue Qing said, “So it’s like that, then if there’s an emergency, we won’t be able to call in time.”
Liu Zhilin pondered and said, “True.” Let’s go in and take a look. ”
As soon as the two stood up, a long sword flew out from the inside with a ‘hu’ sound and stabbed right in front of Liu’s face. The two of them could not help but be shocked. Rongyu Bing, who was inside, said loudly, “Take my sword and go find my father. All of you, quickly run.”
Gu Yue Qing said, “It’s Lady Rong’s voice. Let’s quickly enter, something must have happened inside.”
Liu Zhilin drew his long sword and made a sound of agreement. The two of them leaped up and lay on the wall. All they saw was that three of the people had been captured by Zhou Yun Liu.
Liu Zhilin said, “The one surnamed Zhou is indeed a bad woman.”
From inside, he heard Zhou Yun Liu say, “Men, quickly go and capture those two fellows outside.” A few black-clothed men rushed over like ghosts.
Liu Zhilin said, “Not good, it’s dangerous. Let’s go quickly.”
Gu Yue replied, “Let’s go, aren’t we just going to save them?”
Liu Zhilin said, “There are too many men in black right now, we can’t save them. We’ll go first, then think of another way. ” The two of them jumped off the wall and ran into the street.
The few black-clad men circled the area a few times before returning inside, saying, “Pavilion Master, there’s no one outside.”
Zhou Yun Liu froze and said, “They actually ran away first.” He caught the big fish and ran for a few small shrimps without being able to defend himself. First, lock them up. ”
Peace returned to the lawn, and the grass was still green. The wind was blowing slowly, blowing against the branches and making faint sounds of fear, as if telling someone that danger was approaching.
