In the Taoist temple, looking at Dou Yihu and Qin Han who were led in by the girl in light yellow Taoist robe, Diao Yue'e's gaze immediately fell on the two of them, and her teeth were bitten tightly.

"My younger generation Dou Yihu (Qin Han) pays homage to the Virgin of Golden Sword!" Both of them saluted respectfully to the Virgin of Golden Sword.

The Holy Mother of Golden Sword looked at the two of them inexplicably and asked calmly: "What's the matter with you here?"

"Go back to senior! My senior brother and I came to return the treasure of Zhuyin Mountain to capture the soul-catching golden bell," Qin Han bowed his hand slightly and said straightforwardly.

With his eyebrows raised, the Holy Mother of the Golden Sword looked at Qin Han with a little surprise: "Oh? Return the soul-catching golden bell?"

"How could my soul-capturing golden bell from Zhuyin Mountain be in your hands?" Then the Holy Mother of the Golden Sword suddenly turned cold, and her eyes looked fiercely at Qin Han and Dou Yihu. A sharp and terrifying aura enveloped the two of them, making their breathing slightly change in their faces.

Qin Han, who took a breath, said calmly: "Senior, please report! A few days ago, our vanguard army of the court led by General Shan Ximu, and was blocked by the Golden Bell and bronze bell formation. General Shan knew the power of the Soul-Seeing Golden Bell, and in front of the two armies, he was influenced by the Soul-Seeing Golden Bell more than once and escaped by chance. Therefore, Qin Han dared to steal the Soul-Seeing Golden Bell and offended Miss Diao. Today, Qin Han is here to apologize. I hope that the Senior will forgive me, so don't punish Miss Diao."

"You are quite honest!" The Golden Sword Holy Mother, whose expression was slightly relaxed, looked at Diao Yue'e, whose pretty face changed slightly and bit her red lips, then narrowed her eyes and looked at Qin Han again and asked in a deep voice: "Qin Han. I ask you, how did Shan Ximu break the golden bell copper bell formation?"

"This..." Qin Han was slightly stunned and hesitated a little before saying, "Senior, this junior is really not very clear. He only knows that General Shan invited a master to help him break the Golden Bell Copper Bell Formation."

The master? The Virgin of Golden Sword frowned slightly when he heard this, pondering silently.

Seeing this, Diao Yue'e's beautiful eyes flashed slightly and said hurriedly: "Teacher, that's a woman in white. She is cold and looks like she is only in her twenties, but she has a very high cultivation."

"Oh? How do you know how she is in cultivation?" The Holy Mother of Golden Sword raised her eyebrows and looked at Diao Yue'e.

Diao Yue'e said repeatedly: "Teacher. In front of her, she can only rely on Zhenyue Jin Zhong to escape."

When the Holy Mother of Golden Sword heard this, she was moved: "Forcing the boy Jin Zhong to escape? This female cultivator is probably not as weak as a teacher. Among the casual cultivators, she has never heard of such an immortal cultivator. Could it be that what sects of immortal cultivation are from?"

The Holy Mother of the Golden Sword, who had thought for a moment, shook her head slightly and turned to Qin Han, Dou Yihu and Diao Yue'e: "Yue'e, you have lost the Soul-Seeing Golden Bell. Although you have a great responsibility, you will not be responsible for you because of this. The Soul-Seeing Golden Bell is a treasure that is cultivated by the teacher's life. It has been sacrificed for many years, and even if it is taken away by someone, it will be difficult to refine and control it. Therefore, you don't have to worry too much."

As he said that, the Holy Mother of the Golden Sword waved his hand slightly, and with the crisp ringtone, a golden light flew out of Qin Han's arms. It fell into the hands of the Holy Mother of the Golden Sword and turned into the small soul-catching golden bell.

"Yue'e!" The Holy Mother of the Golden Sword looked at Diao Yue'e and said, "The imperial court is in the west, and the general trend is the way. The destiny of heaven is. You should follow the heaven and respond to the people and advise your father not to help the contrary, otherwise it will only end up being broken into pieces. This soul-catching golden bell will be left to you for custody. You, go back!"

After saying that, the Holy Mother of the Golden Sword waved her hand and sent the Soul-Surfaced Golden Bell to Diao Yue'e, then closed her eyes and said nothing.

Diao Yue'e, who was surprised to take the soul-catching golden bell, hurriedly respectfully and thanked the Golden Sword Holy Mother, then got up, looked at Qin Han with a slightly complicated look, and then turned around and left.

"Senior, then we brothers have said goodbye too!" Dou Yihu said, and then he pulled Qin Han, who had his eyes left with Diao Yue'e, respectfully saluted the Holy Mother of the Golden Sword, and then he left the Taoist temple.

After they all left, a figure turned around after the curtain beside them, which was Xue Dingshan.

"Thank you for your accomplishment!" Xue Dingshan bowed to the Golden Sword Madon, who was quietly sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

The Holy Mother of Golden Sword closed her eyes without raising her head and said calmly: "Yue'e is my favorite disciple, otherwise she wouldn't have given her the soul-catching golden bell. How could she really blame her? Well, Xue Dingshan, I know you have something important to do, so I won't leave you!"

"Goodbye, I'm sorry!" Xue Dingshan hurriedly bowed and then walked out of the Taoist temple.

On the mountain road down the mountain, I saw Diao Yue'e holding a red horse on the hillside from afar. She threw the reins of the war horse in her hand to Dou Yihu, and hurriedly chased after her.

"Damn! This guy with the opposite sex is inhumane!" Dou Yihu, who glared slightly, had to follow two war horses slowly with depressedness.

The three of them rushed back to Xuanwu Pass from Zhuyin Mountain. Because Dou Yihu was determined to avoid Qin Han and Diao Yue'e, they didn't know what they had talked about all the way. They only knew that their relationship seemed to have become very close along the way, like a pair of young men and girls in love.

At a fork in the road three or four miles away from Xuanwu Pass, looking at Qin Han and Diao Yue'e who were reluctant to part, not far away, Dou Yihu was slowly chewing in his mouth with a grass root in his mouth, with a slightly helpless expression.

"How is it? Have you done it?" Seeing Diao Yue'e get on the horse and leave, Qin Han turned to lead the horse after watching her leave. Dou Yihu hurriedly greeted her with a somewhat obscene smile.

He glared at Dou Yihu in anger, and Qin Han nodded, "Yue'e has agreed to persuade her father to surrender to us. Diao Yingxiang has a daughter like Yue'e and is also his only relative. He should agree to surrender in Xianguan."

"Okay! Junior brother! Now, Xuanwu Pass has obtained it, and my wife has it too!" Dou Yihu laughed jokingly.

Qin Han couldn't help but blush and said guiltily: "What wife got it? Don't talk nonsense!"

"Okay, okay, I'll talk nonsense! I'll talk nonsense!" Dou Yihu nodded as if he held back his smile, leaving Qin Han aside him speechless.

While talking and joking, the two of them got on their horses and rushed towards the Tang army camp.

In the Tang camp, in the military tent where Shan Ximu lived, Dou Yihu and Qin Han came back to see Shan Ximu.

"I'm back? How are the things done?" Shan Ximu smiled at the two men who were so dirt-filled but in good spirits.

Dou Yihu shrugged and smiled, "It's done! Qin Han has gained a lot this time. I pity me for suffering along the way!"

When Qin Han heard this, he turned his head and stared at Dou Yihu. His teeth were gritting, as if he wanted to eat Dou Yihu.

"Okay, stop making trouble!" Shan Ximu, who shook his head and smiled, said seriously: "Don't be anxious to be happy first. I was rewarded by the scouts. The army of Li Luanhu is here, less than a hundred miles away. If you speed up the marching, you will arrive in about an hour at most."

Upon hearing this, Qin Han and Dou Yihu both looked at each other with a slightly changed expression, and their expressions became solemn.

"This bastard is obviously here to get a bargain," Dou Yihu gritted his teeth and said, "like a dog that smells stinky!"

Qin Han also frowned: "Brother Shan, Diao Yue'e, has agreed to persuade her father to surrender, but it is hard to say whether she can succeed within an hour!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be successful. What a pity..." Shan Ximu said and shook his head slightly.

Qin Han's expression changed slightly when he heard this: "Brother Shan, are you talking about something unexpected happening in Xuanwu Pass?"

"Not bad!" Shan Ximu nodded and said, "I received reliable information. Yang Fan, the leader of Baihu Pass, quietly entered Xuanwu Pass with more than a dozen martial arts masters. Moreover, there should be Yang Fan's inner support in Xuanwu Pass. The inner support is probably the deputy general Hong Lida. Now, the entire Xuanwu Pass may have been controlled by Yang Fan. If Diao Yingxiang and Diao Yue'e and his daughter show their attitude of surrendering to us, they are afraid that there will be danger."

Qin Han's face turned pale when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Brother Shan, think of a solution!"

"Brother, you must have a way, right? You can't let Yang Fan control Xuanwu Pass, otherwise it will be even more difficult for us to capture Xuanwu Pass," Dou Yihu, who looked at Qin Han, frowned and said hurriedly.

Shan Ximu nodded and sighed: "Planning is up to others, and it is up to God to succeed! No matter how perfect the plan is, there may be some mistakes. We think we have done well, but a little accident at critical moments will fail. Similarly, Yang Fan thought he was very smart, but he might not win this game."

"Oh! Brother, stop keeping it aside. What should I do now? You said!" Dou Yihu said repeatedly.

Shan Ximu nodded and smiled, looked at Qin Han with an anxious expression, and took a breath and said, "It's very simple. The three of us will go to Xuanwu Pass to rescue Diao Yingxiang and Diao Yue'e, and defeat Yang Fan's conspiracy. In this way, Diao Yingxiang and Diao Yue'e must surrender to us."

"It's just the three of us? I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to save people, right?" Dou Yihu couldn't help saying: "Even if Diao Yingxiang and Diao Yue'e were rescued, how could we three be taken away by Xuanwu Pass?"

Qin Han also hurriedly said: "Yes, Brother Shan, if Yang Fan had already controlled Xuanwu Pass, we would have no chance at all."

Shan Ximu shook his head and smiled: "Diao Yingxiang has been a general in Xuanwu Pass for 10 or 20 years. Do you think his subordinates will not have any confidants? His confidants, including soldiers, will not be so easy to obey Yang Fan's orders. Even if Yang Fan is prepared to bring some troops here, it will not be too many. Xuanwu Pass is no longer a monolith. Will it be so difficult for us to win Xuanwu Pass?"

"Don't worry! I have asked General Luo to prepare and the army is ready for war at any time. Now, the three of us must rush to Xuanwu Pass as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Yang Fan killed Diao Yingxiang and Diao Yue'e, it would be a little troublesome. Although he would not use such intense means to appease the soldiers in the pass, we cannot take risks!" Shan Ximu said with a serious expression.

Dou Yihu and Qin Han, who were nodding each other, were both busy responding and leaving the Tang camp with Shan Ximu.

...

In Xuanwu Pass, above the hall of Diao Mansion, Yang Fan, dressed in military uniform, sat at the main seat, and behind him was the smug Honglida.

"Two, the king treats you father and daughter well, why do you rebel?" Yang Fan, who was playing with the tea cup in his hand, narrowed his eyes and looked at Diao Yingxiang and Diao Yue'e, who were all ugly on the hall.

At this time, two men with cold and hard faces and iron-blooded spirits stood on both sides of the father and daughter.

Not far away, a thin side would be tied up, escorted by two other cold men in black.

Outside, two Xiliang soldiers, who were obviously soldiers of Xuanwu Pass, were confronting each other in a tit-for-tat manner, and there were also many elite soldiers of White Tiger Pass with tiger head patterns on their shoulders surrounded by them, with their bowstrings tightly.

Looking at Yang Fan who was still calm in the face of such a tense situation, Diao Yingxiang couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Yang Fan, you are the Lord of Baihu Pass, I am the Lord of Xuanwu Pass. You actually sent troops into my Xuanwu Pass. Could it be that you received the order of the king?"

"No!" Yang Fan admitted with a light brow raised his eyebrows and calmly.

Diao Yingxiang stopped slightly, and then he looked at Honglida standing beside Yang Fan with a fierce look: "Honglida, you sinister villain, you actually colluded with outsiders to harm me. I, Diao Yingxiang, are really blind. I promoted you to be the deputy general of my Xuanwu Pass. I dared to commit crimes. I think you are desperate."

"Diao Yingxiang! I'm the one who is following me?" Honglida sneered: "Then what crime is it that you are going to surrender?"

Diao Yingxiang's eyes flashed calmly and smiled: "Sheng Pass surrender? If you want to add a crime, why not worry? Yang Fan and Honglida, don't forget that this is my Xuanwu Pass. If you have a genital, you will kill me. Otherwise, you can't take my Xuanwu Pass."

Papa... The applause sounded crisply. Yang Fan clapped his hands and looked up at Diao Yingxiang with a smile: "General Diao is indeed tough enough, he is worthy of being a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time."

"Hmph! Yang Fan, I will write to you to the king," Diao Yingxiang shouted coldly with a frown.

Yang Fan shrugged slightly without comment when he heard this. Then he pressed his hands on the table in front of him, leaned over to look at Diao Yingxiang, and a sneering curve appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Is that so? What a pity. You probably don't have that chance!"

"Hongrida, please go down and rest! Remember to greet Miss Diao well, don't neglect it. After all, you want her to be your wife, right?" Yang Fan, who stood up straight while speaking, suddenly smiled at Hongrida beside him.

When Honglida heard this, she looked surprised and rubbed her hands and walked towards Diao Yue'e who was tied with her hands.

Diao Yingxiang's face changed drastically and shouted, "Yang Fan! You are a despicable villain, come to me if you have something to do. If you hurt my daughter, I Diao Yingxiang will not let you go even if I become a ghost."

"Hehe, my future father-in-law, don't be excited! I can't bear to hurt Yue'e, I will only love her well," Honglida, who was smiling strangely, then pulled Diao Yue'e out under Diao Yingxiang's fierce gaze that was about to spit out.

Seeing this, Diao Yingxiang roared: "Stop! Yang Fan, don't force me! Otherwise, I will order my brothers outside to take action now. At worst, we will die together, and there will be a companion on the road to the underworld."

"Ha...." Yang Fan, who chuckled, waved his hand slightly to signal Honglida to stop, and then came straight to Diao Yingxiang, looking at Diao Yingxiang with a ferocious expression, and said helplessly: "What a smelly and hard stone! Okay, Honglida, take their father and daughter into the dungeon and take care of them strictly!"

Honglida responded, and with a gloomy face, the four men in black with cold faces escorted the Diao family and daughter away.

Yang Fan, who watched them leave, slowly walked to the side of the thin and thin general who was being escorted, and squinted at him and said, "You are very loyal to Diao Yingxiang! This general likes loyal people."

Sneer... Yang Fan said, waved his hand, and the invisible energy broke the rope that was thin and weak.

"What do you want?" The thin guy gritted his teeth and looked at Yang Fan.

Yang Fan, who made a crisp sound with his ten fingers, smiled and said casually: "I don't want anything! I just want to tell you that if you don't want Diao Yingxiang and his daughter to have an accident, I will cooperate with me to defend Xuanwu Pass. Otherwise, when Xuanwu Pass is broken, it will be the time for you to die together for the king. Don't worry! Even if you die in battle, you will be the hero of Xiliang at that time, and the king will give you generous gifts to your family."

"Okay! But you have to make sure you must not hurt the general and Miss Yue'e!" said the thin and thin person, gritting his teeth and gritting his teeth.

Yang Fan's smile became stronger: "Of course!"

"Now, let your people accept the reorganization, accompany me to the close and check it out first!" Yang Fan, who was smiling, waved slightly to the two cold and tough men in black who were slapped with thin and thin generals, and then walked out with his hands behind his back.

What Yang Fan didn't know was that Shan Ximu and the other two had sneaked into Xuanwu Pass and quietly came towards Diao Mansion.

With the speed of Shan Ximu and the other two, they soon entered the Diao Mansion, which was nervous.

"Sure enough, something happened!" Qin Han, who held his hands tightly, looked anxious and worried: "I don't know how Yue'e and General Diao are doing. If I had known, I would have accompanied her to Xuanwu Pass."

Dou Yihu patted Qin Han's shoulder and comforted him: "What's the use of you alone? Don't worry! They won't have any trouble for the time being. Now, the most important thing for us is to find them first."

"Brother, I think we'd better look for it separately!" Dou Yihu said and looked at Shan Ximu: "I'm with Qin Han!"
