In the courtyard outside Ling'er's guest room, a tall man in black stood motionless under a tree, quietly looking at the night sky, as if in a daze.

"Why don't you hide secretly this time?" a mocking voice came from behind the man.

In fact, the tall man was not in a daze, he was listening carefully to the movements around him, so as soon as the other party approached, he noticed it, but he waited quietly for the prey to be delivered to the door by himself. It wasn't until the other party made a mockery that the corners of his mouth hooked and turned to look at the person.

The tall man was Gong Ming, and the person who came was Zhong Long.

"Haven't rested yet?" Gong Ming ignored Zhong Long's sarcasm and asked with concern.

Zhong Long didn't expect that the other party was not angry because of his sarcasm, but still cared about himself, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Gong Ming saw Zhong Long's bewilderment in his eyes, and the smile on his face deepened a little.

"Didn't you sleep too?" Zhong Long finally burst out.

"I'm responsible for your safety, how can I rest?" Gong Ming said as a matter of course.

Zhong Long was stunned for a moment, and then he figured out why the other party stayed here in the middle of the night. Then he sensed that something was wrong, what does it mean to be "responsible for your safety"?

Zhong Long hurriedly corrected: "You are obviously here to protect Ling'er, don't drag me in!"

"What's the difference?" Gong Ming asked with a smile.

"Of course it's different!" Zhong Long retorted.

"It's like saying that now that you are in danger, I will also rescue you and protect you!" Gong Ming said, taking a step closer to Zhong Long.

Zhong Long was inexplicably a little nervous, he felt that the other party must be taller than him, and he formed a sense of oppression for himself. He hurriedly took a step back and said unconvinced: "Who wants you to come to the rescue? My skills are not necessarily worse than yours!"

Gong Ming smiled and said, "If you can protect yourself, then I will be more at ease." ”

"You...... What do you mean by this?" Zhong Long felt a little furious in his heart, feeling that there was something in the other party's words, but he couldn't understand it.

"Don't think about it, I don't mean anything else. Gong Ming was afraid of scaring the other party and explained.

Zhong Long realized that the other party's city was extremely deep, and he was not an opponent at all, so he was a little scared in his heart, and planned to slip away.

"Then you just stay here! I'm out of company!" Zhong Long finished speaking, turned around and left.

Gong Ming looked at Zhong Long's appearance of running away and was secretly amused.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly passed through the night sky.

Gong Ming only left a sentence of "Be careful!" and jumped into the air with his sword in the air, chasing the black shadow.

Zhong Long was not to be outdone, and also chased after him.

Seeing that the other party was in hot pursuit, the black shadow had to grab a few flying knives and throw them back at random, trying to get out while the other party was dodging the flying knives.

Gong Ming reacted extremely quickly, and before the flying knife was close, he had already dodged sideways.

He was about to continue to keep up with the black shadow, but he remembered Zhong Long who was following him. He could see the way the flying knife came from and then respond, but Zhong Long was blocked by himself and couldn't see the flying knife at all!

Gong Ming was shocked and immediately gave up the pursuit and turned around to save people.

Zhong Long really didn't notice the flying knife, and by the time he found it, it was too late. He closed his eyes and was about to endure the sharp pain, but he didn't expect someone to pull him in time and pull him away from the path where the throwing knife flew.

Although he dodged the blow of the flying knife, Zhong Long still fell from the eaves with the person who pulled him.

Zhong Long closed his eyes again, but the expected pain did not happen.

It turned out that Gong Ming had prepared early, grabbed Zhong Long's waist when he landed, and relied on his waist strength to fall to the ground in a roundabout.

Zhong Long opened his eyes in shock, and saw Gong Ming's cool face that was close at hand and much bigger than before, and suddenly thought of Gong Ming's words, "I will save people and protect you!"

Zhong Long realized that Gong Ming's hand was still holding his waist, and he was even more embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Your hand...... Can you let it go?"

Gong Ming smiled, and then slowly let go of his hand, as if he was still a little reluctant.

"Oops! Oops! I was escaped by that assassin!" Zhong Long hurriedly changed the subject to ease the current embarrassment.

"And you...... Compared to that, none of that matters!" Gong Ming said deliberately vaguely.

Zhong Long didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What's more important?"

Gong Ming didn't dare to pick it out, so he had to change his words: "Your safety ...... In particular, the safety of Miss Ling'er is more important!"

"Ling'er?" Zhong Long remembered Ling'er at this time, and said anxiously, "We won't fall for the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, right?"

Gong Ming said with a smile: "Don't you think it's too late to think of this at this moment? Don't worry! Miss Ling'er still has Deputy Captain Zhang there! I am in charge of the movement outside, and he is guarding next door to the girl, keeping an eye on the situation at the girl's place at any time. ”

Zhong Long breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly had a complicated feeling for Gong Ming in his heart.

"The subordinate failed to complete the task, please punish Madame!" The black-clothed masked man knelt in front of Madame Piaopiao and bowed his head.

Mrs. Piaopiao looked at her most powerful subordinate, frowned, and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Didn't you relay the news to Jun'er?"

"As soon as the subordinates approached the young master's house, they were discovered. The masked man in black explained.

"You can't be blamed for that. Ji Cangyu is strong in martial arts, and it is normal to find you. "It's rare that Madame Piao Piao is not angry.

"Uh...... found that it was not Ji Cangyu who was subordinate. The black-clothed masked man turned his heart and said truthfully, "The young master specially asked for a guest room on the very edge, which is the farthest away from Ji Cangyu's bedroom, so his subordinates did not alarm Ji Cangyu." ”

"Who is that?" asked Lady Piaopiao, frowning.

"It should be a master of Yixingmen. The masked man in black replied.

"Yixingmen, do you mean that Yixingmen sent people to follow all the way?" asked Madame Piaopiao, surprised.

"Yes. The masked man in black nodded.

"Originally, it was already very difficult to avoid Ji Cangyu alone, but what should I do now?" Mrs. Piao Piao paced in embarrassment.

"If this news has to be delivered, why not in another way?, leave a note for the young master at the inn where they will stay next?" suggested the black-clad masked man.

"No, they all say that that is too risky! If the note accidentally falls into Ji Cangyu's hands, our plans will all fall through!" Lady Piao Piao rejected her men's proposal, "and when they get to the next inn, it will be too late for Jun'er to persuade them to take a different route." ”

"Actually, the subordinates felt that even if they went to Gaoyakou Village, they wouldn't necessarily find anything. The masked man in black said.

"No! I can't take any chances! I can't expose myself too early in front of Ji Cangyu!" said Lady Piaopiao anxiously.

"Then why don't you get rid of all the people or things that threaten Madame first?" the masked man in black once again made an idea for Madame Piao.

"It seems that this is the only way to do it now!" Lady Piao Piao ordered, "Send someone to Gaoyakou Village to deal with it!"

"Yes, ma'am. The masked man in black replied.

"It's all to blame Yixingmen! It's okay to send someone to Beifeng Village to investigate what bandits, and make this matter bigger!" Mrs. Piaopiao said angrily.
