Xue Meijiao shook her head and said truthfully: "When I went there yesterday, they seemed to have increased their troops. Their people were everywhere near the trail."

Zhao Fan frowned, what was going on? Could it be that Feiyingtang retreated, but why? He thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

Xue Meijiao looked at him and said nothing, so she could only say to herself: "Are some people afraid of an ambush by Feiyingtang and others and dare not return to Lingji Temple?"

When Zhao Fan heard her excitement, the word "ambush" suddenly flashed in his mind. Could it be that they would set up an ambush in the dense forest? Waiting for him to fall into a trap? The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became.

Thinking of this, he said: "Miss Xue, there may be danger in the dense forest, we should be more careful."

Xue Meijiao said slyly: "I'm fine. I have arms and legs. If I encounter an ambush, I'll run away. But what do you do? I still have injuries on my legs. Can I run away? Let me see. Let's go back to the farmyard with me."

"

Zhao Fan shook his head and said resolutely: "No matter what kind of danger there is, I will try my best. If you are afraid, just leave on your own. I will not stop you."

After saying this, he walked forward on his own. Seeing her limping, Xue Meijiao couldn't help but shake her head and sighed, "This Zhao Fan is so stubborn." She had to run two steps quickly and hold his arm.

, walking side by side with him.

The two of them walked into the dense forest for more than an hour. Xue Meijiao was already dripping with sweat and muttered in a low voice, "I am almost exhausted. I don't know how to measure up to other girls, so I just keep walking forward."

Zhao Fan grew up in the mountains and forests, and was used to walking in dense forests. This distance was nothing to him. His brain was always on high alert to prevent sneak attacks from Fei Ying Tang. He really neglected Xue Meijiao beside him. Listening to her chatter

Nao, he immediately said embarrassedly:

"We'll rest nearby before we leave. You should also drink some water and eat something to replenish your strength, and then we'll leave again."

Xue Mei said softly: "This is more or less the same, a bit like a man."

The two sat down with their backs against a big tree. Xue Meijiao took out the water bottle and dry food and handed them to Zhao Fan, "You should eat some too. Don't be too tired to walk. Let me carry you."

Regardless of how she slandered him, Zhao Fan reached out to take it, raised his neck, and drank a few large sips of water. Just as he was about to stuff dry food into his mouth, he heard the sound of noisy footsteps in his ears.

Zhao Fan immediately put down the water bottle and dry food in his hand, reached out and grabbed Xue Meijiao's arm, and pulled her over.

Xue Meijiao was suddenly pulled by him, and she was startled. She opened her mouth to scream, but suddenly a big hand stretched out, directly covered her lips, and whispered: "Don't move, there is someone in the dense forest."

Zhao Fan was in a hurry, but he didn't expect that he would pull her into his arms with a gentle pull. The warm feeling in his arms instantly filled his brain, and his face turned red and he hurriedly lowered his head.

At this time, Xue Meijiao's face was already flushed, just like the scorching sun under the scorching sun. She was extremely charming. She stretched out her two pink little hands, pushed his big hand away, and whispered: "I heard it.

, you don’t need to remind me.”

Although she said that, she was lying in Zhao Fan's arms, motionless, as if she was enjoying herself.

Zhao Fan blushed and said softly: "You are holding down my injured leg. Can you move it?"

Only then did Xue Meijiao notice that half of her body was pressed against his injured leg. She quickly moved her body away from his leg and said apologetically: "Who asked you to pull me? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have pressed him."

You, you brought this upon yourself and you deserve to suffer."

Zhao Fan didn't care to talk to her anymore, and hurriedly made a gesture to silence her, and then listened quietly.

Judging from the footsteps, there might be four or five people on the other side. Listening carefully, it turned out that a few of them were muttering something in a low voice.

Xue Meijiao looked at Zhao Fan and asked in a low voice: "What should we do? Should we run or escape?"

Along the way, Zhao Fan always felt that Xue Meijiao was weird. She kept delaying time and preventing him from going to Lingji Temple. Although he was a little confused, he didn't take it to heart. When he heard her say this, he felt a little weird.

.

In order to solve the mystery in his heart, he decided to give Xue Meijiao a try, and said: "There are only four or five of them. You see that I have difficulty moving, so I have to help you. Aren't you the descendant of Xue Shenqiang? Let me grow up today."

See, go catch them and ask them why they are here?"

Xue Meijiao was stunned for a moment. This Zhao Fan was always on guard against her. Until now, she still had not gained his complete trust. After hearing what he said, it seemed that she felt guilty if she didn't go, so she said, "Just go, you wait here."

With."

After Xue Meijiao finished speaking, she also rushed out. Looking at her vigorous figure, Zhao Fan suddenly felt that his doubts about her were a little unnecessary.

Forty minutes later, Xue Meijiao escorted five people and wandered up to Zhao Fan, "How about it? I, the successor of Xue Shenqiang, am not just bragging."

Zhao Fan raised his eyes and saw that the hands of the five people were tied up with belts, and a rope was used to connect the five people together. They were all downcast and listless.

Zhao Fan gave a thumbs up, "Miss Xue, you are so good. You are worthy of being the successor of Xue Shenqiang. I admire you, I admire you."

Xue Meijiao showed a proud smile and was about to speak modestly, but she didn't expect someone to beat her to it.

The person who spoke was one of the five people, "Zhao Yingxiong, since the five of us met you, we have never done anything to disgrace Lingji Temple. Please forgive us."

Zhao Fan looked carefully and realized that these five people were actually the five people he caught and let go when he left the dense forest. What a coincidence.

Zhao Fan smiled and said: "Since you know me, let me ask you, a few days ago, the path was full of people from Feiying Hall, why can't I see anyone today? Why are you here?"

The man who spoke answered: "My name is Liu Wu. The four of them are from the same village as me. They also joined the Flying Eagle Hall at the same time and work under the deputy helmsman Yang Lin."

"Two days ago, I heard that Protector Bai and Protector Jin had a conflict with you in Tiandu City. Protector Bai was seriously injured and is still unconscious. Protector Jin injured his calf and is being treated in Nanji Town. And you, Zhao Yingxiong, they

Said you were also seriously injured and fled the scene."

"According to their estimation, you will definitely return to Lingji Temple after you recover from your injuries. Deputy Director Yang and Deputy Director Inoue set up an ambush in the dense forest, waiting for you to take the bait. You must not fall into their trap, or

Get out of here quickly."

Zhao Fan listened carefully to Liu Wu's answer and continued to ask: "How many people did Yang Lin and Inoue Hiiro have to set up an ambush this time?"

Liu Wu replied: "I don't know about Vice-pilot Inoue. Vice-pilot Yang has a total of more than 300 people here. There is an ambush five kilometers ahead. Their main target this time is you."

"By the way, this time a new protector came from the chief helm. I think his name is Lu Yansong. He also brought more than fifty people with him and followed Deputy Helmsman Yang into the dense forest."

When Zhao Fan heard this, his teeth were itching with hatred. This Lu Yansong had done all kinds of bad things, and yet he was everywhere, and this time he suddenly transformed into the guardian of Feiying Hall.

Xue Meijiao saw Zhao Fan and Liu Wu chatting happily, and couldn't help but interjected: "Who is this Lu Yansong? Zhao Fan, you don't look right, do you know him?"

Zhao Fan smiled and said: "I am an old rival. I have fought against him many times. I didn't expect him to be here. We are really enemies of each other."

Xue Meijiao said: "It seems that you are still a militant. Now that you are facing off against Feiyingtang, you must be careful. They are not so easy to mess with, especially the backers behind them."

Zhao Fan was stunned. Could a gang organization have other backgrounds? He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "How much do you know about them? What are their backers?"

Xue Meijiao replied: "I know a little bit about it. As far as I know, Fei Ying Tang has connections with the government and Benzi Country. I don't know who is his helper behind the scenes."

Zhao Fan fell into deep thought for a moment.

Su Yunyun and Wild Rose returned to Lingji Temple and took out the peanuts from Yan Dong's chest. He slowly regained consciousness and continued to recover from his injuries accompanied by Qiu Ba.

Strange to say, one of them is a bandit and the other is a robber. After going through the riot in Liyuan Hutong of Tiandu City, the two of them became as good as brothers.

Ouyang Huixian returned to her room, did not leave the door, did not step forward, thanked guests behind closed doors, and did not see anyone. She closed herself up. Ouyang Chuan came many times, but she never opened the door to meet him, no matter what Ouyang Chuan did.

Explain and ignore everything.

Su Yunyun and Wild Rose had tears on their faces and were always clouded. They no longer smiled. They were like zombies in Lingji Temple. When they saw everyone, they just nodded mechanically and said hello.

Neither of them comforted the other, they were each dejected, but they had the same desire in their hearts, that is, Zhao Fan could escape death and return safely.

Under the circumstances at that time, the two women returned with everyone, knowing in their hearts that Zhao Fan was determined to die and covered everyone's safe retreat. He would rather sacrifice his own life to protect everyone.

Although the two girls were strongly reluctant, they could not go against Zhao Fan's wishes. He was back, but unfortunately, he still stayed in Liyuan Hutong, Tiandu City.

When Zhao Fan was not sure whether he was alive or dead, the Black Iron Tower discovered the unusual movement in Feiying Hall. Not only did he advance into the dense forest, but he also added more manpower. Since Zhao Fan was not around, he had to discuss with Zuo Yanfei and Wang Fengyu, and with Ouyang Chuan's consent, the team was

Shrink and move closer to Lingji Temple to ensure the safety of Lingji Temple.

After Ouyang Chuan received the news about the Black Iron Tower, he immediately arranged for Ling Yijia, Xi Zaiyan, Chang Yanzeng and others to take precautions within Lingji Temple. Although he deployed Lingji Temple into two lines of defense, he still felt uneasy.

Practical.

Since Zhao Fan left, Ouyang Chuan obviously felt that everyone's morale was not high and he had lost his former charm. Even the people in the Mighty Escort Bureau looked at him differently.

Fujiko went to Nanji Town twice and got the news that the two guardians of Feiying Hall were injured and Zhao Fan was missing. When she returned, she found that Ouyang Huixian had returned to Lingji Temple. She had to calm down and wait for the opportunity.
