Mao Shi.

After the moon gradually disappeared into the clouds and completely disappeared, the surroundings did not become darker.

But at this time, the guard guarding Guanyin Pavilion was already drowsy, and his eyelids kept fighting.

Taking this opportunity, a black shadow jumped up from the eaves, flew across the sky, and landed on the nearby roof.

The black shadow did not stop, constantly flying across the roof, from Guanyin Pavilion to Wenshu Pavilion, unimpeded.

When the black shadow fell on the eaves of Wenshu Pavilion, a weak and deep voice suddenly came from behind: "Little Miss Cui——"

The black shadow, Cui Hengyue, was startled and immediately turned around to attack the person behind him, but was restrained by the opponent's move.

"I'm here to help you."

The other party quickly expressed his attitude and let Cui Hengyue go.

Hearing this, Cui Hengyue did not make any more moves, but looked at the opponent.

Dressed in black night clothes and a black scarf, his eyes were bright, and his dark eyeballs shone brightly in the gloom.

Cui Hengyue was in a hurry to leave Yunxuan Temple and had no intention of guessing the identity of the man in black, so she lowered her voice and said: "If you are really here to help me, then take off your hijab."

The man in black paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said in the deep voice just now: "You have never seen me, and even if I take off the hijab, you don't recognize me.

"Don't worry, I'm really here to help you. Otherwise, if I scream now, you will never be able to escape."

Although his words were correct, Cui Hengyue still asked a question very cautiously: "Why do you want to help me? Since you want to help me, why don't you let me know your identity?"

The man in black didn't hesitate at all and answered naturally: "Your mother once saved my life, but unfortunately she died of illness when I wanted to repay her kindness.

"I helped you today as a way of repaying her for saving her life.

"I'm used to being a loner and don't like to interact with others. Today I just want to repay my kindness. You can rest assured."

She walked alone and deliberately chose three hours before beheading to save her. This man in black must be from the South Palace.

Cui Hengyue opened his mouth to test: "Are you Yao Shisan?"

Although the little lunatic did not remember Wang's rescue, Yao Shisan had helped her once, but he did not like to interact with others, which was very similar to what the man in black said.

Of course, Yao Shisan had also harmed her, so she had to first determine whether it was Yao Shisan.

She couldn't give her back to someone who had hurt her.

"No, in short, I won't harm you." After the man in black finished speaking, he urged her: "If you don't hurry up, it will be dawn."

Hearing this, Cui Hengyue stopped asking, but she didn't move either, but looked at the man in black silently.

The man in black understood what she meant and whispered: "I checked when I came up just now. The guards in the southwest are the weakest. We can go around from the southwest to the south gate of the Dizang Pavilion."

After saying that, he jumped up and led the way.

Cui Hengyue did not hesitate and immediately flew to chase him.

On the day Jiuliang died, she didn't go anywhere. She was on the eaves of the Dizang Pavilion observing the defense situation. Therefore, she would rather be misunderstood by Yun Chen and others as a murderer than tell where she went.

And the man in black is right, the defense in the southwest is indeed the weakest.

Both of them were very cautious and moved very lightly. They flew all the way across the climbing room without attracting the attention of the guards.

It wasn't until the two of them walked near the south gate that they were forced to stop.

For some unknown reason, the number of guards guarding the south gate today increased from two to eight, with Wu Yang leading the way.

Cui Hengyue's heart sank. These guards were not ordinary guards. Even if she was confident that she could deal with them, she didn't have the confidence not to alarm others.

The man in black turned his head to look at Cui Hengyue and whispered: "I'm afraid it's impossible not to alarm others.

"But don't worry, I will do my best to help you hold them off. Just leave here."

When he said this, the man in black kept his eyes fixed on the south gate. He suddenly realized a problem: "By the way, the lock on the south gate is not an ordinary lock, and the iron chain is also extraordinary. Ordinary weapons can't stop cutting it."

An iron chain cannot break the lock.

"How are you going to open this lock?"

The man in black turned his head and looked Cui Hengyue up and down. Her hands were empty, except for a fire stick tied to her back. The fire stick looked very ordinary. It was definitely not a magic weapon, and it definitely couldn't open the lock on the south door.

Cui Hengyue ignored his inspection and said calmly: "Don't worry about this, I have a way to unlock it."

Seeing that she was confident and not worried at all about opening the lock, the man in black couldn't help but guess: "Did...you steal Yunchen's key?"

Cui Hengyue did not answer the call.

Silence is the default.

The man in black had an idea in his mind and said to Cui Hengyue: "In this case, I will find a way to distract the two guards first, and then entangle the remaining guards. You can go ahead and open the lock.

"You don't have to worry about me after you open the lock. Just leave and I will do my best to delay the time for you.

"I've heard that there are noble people going up the mountain recently, and the mountain gate opens earlier than usual. It opens at Maozheng. If you go there at this time, you can catch up."

Cui Hengyue was not polite and nodded: "Okay, thank you very much."

"You're welcome, this is what I should repay." After the man in black said meaningfully, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the bushes on the north side.

"who?"

The guards in front of the south gate all looked at the bushes on the north side.

Seeing the leaves swaying, Wu Yang ordered: "You two go over there and have a look."

"yes."

The two guards left the south gate and headed to the north side to check.

Seeing this, the man in black took something out of his arms and stuffed it into Cui Hengyue's hand: "After coming down the mountain, if you need help, take this thing and go to the Fulai Inn in Mingyang Town at the foot of the mountain to find the shopkeeper, and he will help you.

"Take care of yourself!"

After the man in black finished speaking, he sneaked to the corridor on the left, suddenly flew out, and rushed towards the south gate.

Cui Hengyue looked down at the jade pendant that was still warm in her palm. She was a little dazed, but she soon came to her senses, stuffed the jade pendant into her arms, and sneaked towards the south gate.

"who?"

"There is an assassin, go and call for help."

Wu Yang gave an order and led two guards to meet the man in black. Another guard left to report the message, and the remaining two guards were still guarding the south gate.

The man in black waved his long hand and threw a wooden stick at the guard who went to report the news. At the same time, he kicked Wu Yang who was rushing at the front.

"ah--"

The guard who reported the news was stabbed in the leg with a wooden stick and fell to the ground screaming.

The next moment, Wu Yang was kicked out, hit the railing of the verandah, and fell to the ground along with the railing.

When the two guards rushing behind saw this scene, they did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so they drew their sabers and slashed at the man in black.

At the same time, Cui Hengyue sneaked to the south gate, drew out his short sword and rushed towards the two guards who were left behind.

"ah--"

The two guards screamed and fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Wu Yang opened his throat and shouted: "Here comes... ah..."

As soon as he shouted two words, Wu Yang was stabbed by a hidden weapon and fell down.

The remaining two guards wanted to call out, but because the man in black was holding a short knife and struck fiercely and quickly, they would be killed if they were not careful.

Therefore, the two guards did not dare to be distracted and did not find a chance to speak out.

"Hurry up." The man in black shouted to Cui Hengyue and sped up his movements.
