In the middle of the night, it rained for a while in Jincheng.

The rain did not last long and stopped in about half an hour. The temperature after the rain dropped sharply, as if it was suddenly cold to the bones.

"Qingzhi, wake up."

Yang Shouwen suddenly opened his eyes and turned over and sat up.

It was pitch black in the room, and you could vaguely see Mingxiu standing beside the bed, shouting in a low voice.

"Are there any action?"

"Well, as you and I guess, he just went out."

"Walk!"

Yang Shouwen didn't say much, so he got up and got off the bed, reached out and picked up the pair of scimitars from the head of the bed, and slapped them across his waist.

He has already changed his clothes on night clothes.

Yang Shouwen was not actually asleep, but lay on the couch, circulating the golden toad energy.

Now that he has practiced the Golden Toad Guidance Technique, he no longer needs to practice it deliberately. In fact, his daily walking, sitting, and even his breathing, all implicitly integrate the mystery of the Golden Toad Guidance Technique and practice it anytime and anywhere. It is precisely because of this that Yang Shouwen can always keep his energy.

"By the way, Sixteen is back."

"oh?"

"Fumeng ordered the Qing to send a school of troops and horses to arrive outside the city secretly.

Sixteen, just by your order, Heyuan Army can enter the city at any time... I have asked Sixteen to follow the man over, what are your arrangements for the troops outside the city?"

Yang Shouwen thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "You can go to the Jincheng County Magistrate and ask him to arrange Heyuan Army to enter the city and wait for my order. I will follow Feng Kuan, but I want to see who it is, who wants to kill you and me behind my back."

"good!"

Ming Xiutou agreed and turned around and left.

Yang Shouwen climbed over the wall and found the mark left by Yang Shiliu outside the county government side door, and then ran along the long street.

The streets were deserted and there were no people.

Logically, there should be patrolling the streets at this time. Maybe because of the rain just now and the temperature was very low, the patrols did not appear. Yang Shouwen followed the long street and according to the marks left by Yang Shiliu, he soon arrived at the City God Temple.

The location here is a bit remote and the surrounding area is also very desolate.

♂♂♂♂,m.v.□

A City God Temple stands alone in the night, revealing a bit of loneliness and gloom.

When Yang Shouwen came outside the City God Temple, a black shadow broke out from the alley next to him and came to him.

"Sixteen, thank you for your hard work!"

Yang Shiliu looked dusty, and his eyebrows showed a look of fatigue.

No wonder, he and Gao Lishi rushed to Heyuan Army for help overnight, and then returned without stopping, and they were inevitably a little tired. However, he was in good spirits. He heard Yang Shouwen's words, grinned and then said softly: "Alang, that person entered the City God Temple. People don't know what the situation is inside, so they dare not alarm the snake."

Yang Shouwen showed admiration.

He said, "Sixteen, stay outside and don't let anyone go."

"clear."

After Yang Shouwen gave the order, he quickly walked towards the Chenghuang Temple.

He gently climbed the steps and saw that the gate of the City God Temple was covered with darkness inside and no sound.

Yang Shouwen couldn't help but cheer up. This time he encountered too many strange things. Especially after Tianma City, he finally learned about a mysterious "Mr. Mu" in Luoshi, which also made him subconsciously more cautious.

It was very quiet inside, without any sound.

Yang Shouwen felt strange, so he gently pushed the mountain gate and creaked. The mountain gate made a sound, and the gap widened a little.

Still no movement!

Yang Shouwen immediately realized that the situation was not good, so he flashed into the City God Temple.

In the City God Temple, there was a piece of black paint, and I couldn't see my five fingers.

After Yang Shouwen entered the City God Temple, he smelled a strong smell of blood. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly took out the fire slap to polish it. The faint fire light dispelled the darkness in the City God Temple. He vaguely saw a person lying in front of the collapsed divine case.

"Fengxian Zun?"

Yang Shouwen called out, but there was no movement at all.

He knew something was wrong, so he quickly stepped forward, walked to the man, and squatted down.

The man lay face down on the ground, motionless. Yang Shouwen stretched out his hand and turned his body over. In the faint light of fire, Yang Shouwen recognized it at a glance that it was Feng Kuang. At this time, Feng Kuang widened his eyes and showed a look of horror. His throat was cut by a sharp blade, showing a bloody hole like a baby's mouth. Blood flowed out of the hole, and Feng Kuang's chest and clothes were wet... A pool of blood was left on the ground.

Feng Kuang, dead?

Yang Shouwen felt a numbness on his scalp and a burst of anger in his heart.

At this moment, a noise came from outside the City God Temple. Immediately afterwards, the gate of the City God Temple was kicked open by a panic...

A group of people rushed in with torches and shouted loudly: "Don't leave the murderer!"

Yang Shouwen recognized the leader as the lieutenant of Jincheng County.

This Jincheng County Magistrate had seen this in the county government office during his day. I vaguely remember that this person's surname is Zhang, he is a local, and has a very high status.

County Magistrate Zhang rushed in with his people. When he saw Yang Shouwen, he said frightenedly: "I think you guys are suspicious, it's true. But I didn't expect that you, the bald monk, dared to kill the county magistrate of this county. It's too rampant!

Come and take this bald thief off for me.”

After talking, two yamen runners rushed out from behind Zhang County Magistrate and rushed towards Yang Shouwen.

Yang Shouwen frowned slightly. Seeing the two yamen runners reaching out, he suddenly reached out and grabbed one of them by the wrist and beat them down. With a click, the yamen runner didn't even understand what was going on, and his wrist bone was broken.

At the same time, Yang Shouwen had already stepped and ran into the arms of another yamen runner. His body shook and knocked the other person away.

Shi Chi, and then, from the two yamen runners to the two being knocked out by Yang Shouwen, in just a few breaths, many people, including the county lieutenant Zhang, did not see clearly, and the battle was over. The county lieutenant Zhang's face changed suddenly. Canglang pulled out his waist knife and shouted sternly: "The madman is so arrogant, boys, kill this madman with me."

While talking, dozens of yamen runners behind him shouted in unison, and the sword pointed at Yang Shouwen.

"I'm not the murderer, don't be bewitched."

When Yang Shouwen saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly pulled out his waist knife and shook his hands.

The blade was pressed against his arm and he shouted loudly.

But how could those yamen runners listen to his words and shouted and rushed towards Yang Shouwen.

A thin figure appeared at the door of the City God Temple. Yang Shiliu pulled his sword out of the sheath, rushed into the crowd with steps. A sword in his hand flew up and down, and the sword light sucked in. In just an instant, three people fell into a pool of blood.

When Yang Shouwen saw this situation, he no longer tolerated it.

He stepped forward, his swords danced, and the sword clouds rolled. The yamen runners were more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but under the attack of Yang Shouwen and Yang Shiliu, the master and servant, they were immediately disorganized. The two broke up more than ten people and met.

"Alang, these people appeared very suddenly, and Sixteen failed to stop them."

"It has nothing to do with you at this time. We may have met our opponent this time."

Yang Shouwen's eyes closed slightly, his eyes shining.

He leaned against Yang Shiliu, looked at Zhang County Magistrate, and suddenly sneered: "Zhang County Magistrate, do you know that you have committed the serious crime of extermination of the nine clans."

County Magistrate Zhang's cheek twitched slightly, but he still said toughly: "Defying crazy people, do you dare to speak wildly if you kill the imperial court officials? Men, don't listen to their nonsense and kill them. Then I will make the decision for you."

The yamen runners, who were originally a little confused, suddenly became energetic when they heard the words of County Magistrate Zhang.

An outside monk and a local who has been a county magistrate for many years, don’t even think about it, they know their choice.

The yamen runners shouted in unison and rushed towards Yang Shouwen and the others again.

However, before they could get closer, they heard a rapid sound of horse hooves outside the City God Temple.

In the dark night, there seem to be thousands of troops galloping.

The county magistrate Zhang was stunned and turned his head to look outside the temple. He saw a team of cavalrymen with bright armor coming outside the City God Temple and strangled the war horses together.

"I am Meng Lingcha, the captain of Heyuan Military Academy. How dare I ask where Mr. Yang is?"

The leader shouted loudly.

Before the county magistrate Zhang could speak, Yang Shouwen said, "I am Yang Shouwen. The outside magistrate Tingzhen will immediately surround the City God Temple and let anyone go... Those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot without showing mercy."

"Here!"

He waved his hand and ordered immediately without saying a word.

The cavalry dismounted one after another, stepped forward and blocked the exit.

At the same time, the sound of the horn tore the tranquility over Jincheng County, which was a signal that the Heyuan Army summoned the troops... The yamen runners were panicked and turned their heads to look at Zhang County Magistrate. The Zhang County Magistrate had a pale face. After hesitating for a moment, he said loudly: "Yang Jun, misunderstanding, this is all misunderstanding. I just want to capture the murderer who killed the county master."

"Kill the county lord?"

Yang Shouwen sneered: "Prince Zhang, since you appeared, you have not approached the body. How did you know that the victim was the county magistrate? Also, as soon as you came in, I killed the county magistrate without saying a word, and I didn't even check the life or death of the county magistrate.

How do you know that the county master is here? So how do you know that the county master was killed?"

"I……"

The county magistrate Zhang was stunned and speechless, not knowing how to defend himself.
To be continued...
