Cui Hengyue was very nervous.

If she couldn't open the lock, she would die today.

Thinking of this, Cui Hengyue's palms were not only sweaty, but his back was also sticky.

"Clang!"

The key fell to the ground and Cui Hengyue quickly picked it up.

"There's an assassin!"

The two guards who were first led away realized something was wrong after not going very far, and returned to the south gate. They happened to see four companions lying on the ground, and two companions were fighting with a man in black.

There is also a man in black holding a key in his hand and trying to open the lock on the south door.

They made a prompt decision and one of them went to stop Cui Hengyue who was opening the lock, but was stopped by the man in black.

Another person went to move reinforcements, and he shouted while running: "Here comes someone, there is an assassin——"

Seeing this, Cui Hengyue felt a chill in her heart. She quickly rubbed her right hand on her clothes twice. After wiping off the sweat on her hand, she picked up the key and inserted it into the keyhole again.

With a "click" sound, the lock opened.

Cui Hengyue was so happy that she immediately threw away the lock, took off the chain, and opened the door.

She looked back at the man in black, then crossed the threshold without hesitation and ran towards the temple.

The man in black saw it and used one move to sweep through the entire army. After knocking down the three guards, he ran to the south gate, closed the south gate, and quickly hung up the chains and locks.

Finally, lock it and put the key in your arms.

At this time, Cui Hengyue had already run to the north gate of the temple. She took out a short knife and inserted it into the crack of the door. She pressed against the door bolt and moved it gently to the side.

"despair"

There was a soft sound, the door bolt tilted, Cui Hengyue opened the door and stepped into the temple.

"who?"

A long stick was struck on the head.

Cui Hengyue ducked to the side and drew out the fire stick to block the long stick.

The monk holding a long stick was Miao Kong who guarded the north gate. He was very skilled with the stick. With one blow, he knocked Cui Hengyue flying out.

As soon as Cui Hengyue landed, he quickly took out his short knife, opened the handle cap, and inserted the thin end of the fire stick into the hollow handle.

In this way, the fire stick and dagger turned into a spear.

Miaokong jumped behind Cui Hengyue and put a long stick on the back of her neck: "You came from the South Hall, right?

"Tell me, who are you and why are you going to the South Hall?"

Before he finished speaking, Cui Hengyue raised his hand and swung back. The short knife cut through the clothes on Miaokong's chest, leaving a blood mark on his body.

Miao Kong lowered his head blankly and looked at the wound on his chest.

Cui Hengyue took this opportunity, jumped up and ran forward.

"stop--"

Miaokong covered the wound with one hand, holding a long stick in the other hand, and went after Cui Hengyue.

While chasing, Miaokong opened his throat and shouted: "Here comes someone, there is an assassin——"

On the other side, the man in black who stayed in the south hall had just locked the south door when he was entangled by Yun Lin who came after hearing the news.

Yun Chen scanned the ground and asked the guard guarding the south gate with a sullen face: "What's going on?"

The guard knelt on the ground, ashamed: "Someone ran out..."

Yun Chen looked at the intact lock on the south door and wondered, "How did you escape?"

"The man had the key to the south door, unlocked it, and ran away."

"..."

Yun Chen subconsciously touched the purse at his waist, opened it and took a look. His key was still there.

There is only one key to the south gate.

In other words, someone stole his key, made an identical key, and then opened the south door.

"Who ran out?" Yun Chen looked at the guard again.

The guard respectfully replied: "I don't know, he is also a man in black."

At this time, Mu Yun came over from behind with a dark face: "It's Cui Hengyue, she ran away."

Upon hearing this, Yun Chen was shocked and immediately apologized: "My subordinate failed to keep an eye on the person. Please punish me, General."

"I didn't pay attention to Cui Hengyue." Chiye came from behind and knelt in front of Mu Yun: "This subordinate deserves to die. Please punish me, general."

One didn't notice the key, and the other didn't notice the person.

Mu Yun looked at the two of them with a very ugly face, but now was not the time to investigate the responsibility.

"Everyone, get up. Please wait until we catch the person."

Then, Mu Yun issued an order: "Chiye, go gather the archers and set off immediately.

"Yun Chen, open the door and follow me to chase Cui Hengyue..."

After hearing the order, everyone acted independently.

Yun Chen wanted to bypass Yun Lin and the man in black who were fighting to open the door, but was entangled by the man in black.

Seeing this, Mu Yun's eyes darkened, he casually picked off the branch next to him and shot it at the man in black.

"Whoosh——"

The man in black sensed the danger behind him and quickly evaded, but because Yun Chen and Yun Lin jointly attacked, he failed.

The branch slashed across the face of the man in black and inserted into the south door. At the same time, the man in black's faceband was also shot to the ground.

"Song Zhuoxing, is that you?"

Without the hijab, everyone immediately saw clearly the true face of the man in black.

Yun Chen was surprised: "You and Cui Hengyue are actually in the same group?"

No, it's impossible.

If Song Zhuoxing and Cui Hengyue were together, even if the bottle of medicine was really stolen by Cui Hengyue from Zhen Jiu, Song Zhuoxing would help Cui Hengyue prove his innocence instead of telling the truth and pushing Cui Hengyue to die.

After thinking about it, Yun Chen asked again: "Who are you? What is your relationship with Cui Hengyue?"

Song Zhuoxing responded to their moves while answering questions: "I am just an ordinary person, but I couldn't bear to see you unfairly accusing innocent people, so I helped Miss Cui."

"Unjustly accusing the innocent?" Yun Chen sneered coldly: "Don't forget that she became a murderer because of your contribution."

Song Zhuoxing choked: "..."

That's right, he was the one who felt sorry for her.

Guilt welled up in his heart, and he struck even harder.

In order to make up for his debt, he will do his best to help her delay...

"General, everyone is here."

Akano led the archers to the south gate.

Mu Yun conveniently took the bow and arrow from the archer next to him, drew the bow and nocked the arrow, and aimed it at Song Zhuoxing.

"call out--"

Without any hesitation, the arrow left the string like a bolt of lightning.

"ah--"

There was a sudden pain in his right leg. Song Zhuoxing groaned and knelt down on one knee. He looked down and saw an arrow stuck in his calf.

The next moment, Yun Chen and Yun Lin's swords were placed on his neck.

"Lock him up."

Mu Yun gave the order and led Chi Ye and the archers through the south gate and headed to the temple.

"Heizhugan, you are good at Qinggong. Go help the general and leave this place to me." Yun Chen said to Yun Lin.

Yun Chen thought that Cui Hengyue tried every means to avoid the guards and used the key to open the south door, just because he didn't want to meet them head-on.

Because there are so many of them, once Cui Hengyue gets into contact with them, it will be difficult to escape.

Therefore, after Cui Hengyue enters the temple, he will definitely avoid the monks. Even if he cannot avoid it, he will kill him quickly. In this case, Yunlin is more suitable to hunt down than him.

Yun Lin understood this, said yes and then used Qing Gong to leave the south hall.

"Don't look, Cui Hengyue can't run away." Yun Chen kicked Song Zhuoxing's injured area and said harshly.

Song Zhuoxing snorted and looked back from outside the south gate. Without fear of the knife on his neck, he stood up slowly: "Heh, I think you may not be able to catch her."

"Then let's wait and see." After Yun Chen finished speaking, he ordered the guards to take Song Zhuoxing down.
