At the third hour of the Hai Dynasty, Guo Rong, who was dispatching troops on the Huaihe military ship, was very happy to learn from the arrival of Luo Xiaoyao that he had surrendered Zhu Yuan and others, and immediately ordered Li Chongjin, who was attacking from the front, to lengthen the front line.

The Dazhou, which originally attacked the first to fourth camps of the Tang army, divided the troops to attack the fifth and sixth camps, and ordered Wang Huan to run eastward at that time, and attacked the Southern Tang navy, which was blocked from the waterway, was blocked on the river east of Zijin Mountain.

After arranging the attack on the Tang Bing Camp in Zijin Mountain, Guo Rong led 500 guards, Wu Wangbo, Luo Xiaoyao and others to rush to Xia Cai by land from the north bank to Xia Cai by land, and ordered the undercurrent iron chains on the river where Xia Cai were scattered so that Wang Huan Navy could pass through.

At the third hour, the sound of killing sounds suddenly appeared in the north of Zijin Mountain. The Tang soldiers were caught off guard and were defeated. The flames soared into the sky and fled to the east. When some of the defeated soldiers fled to the military ships stationed on the river, the Great Zhou navy led by Wang Huan rushed along the river.

Although there are still 5,000 elite Tang naval troops on the river, the morale of the army is in chaos and the defeated soldiers are rushing to board the ship. King Li Jingda of Qi is unable to line up to resist the Wang Huan naval troops, and he led the navy to flee to Haozhou.

Guo Rong personally led 3,000 troops to pursue the north bank, blocking the Tang soldiers who fled to the land. After chasing for nearly two hundred miles, he withdrew his troops and ordered his return to Xia Cai.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when Guo Rong led his troops back to the camp. It was already dawn. But when he saw Zhao Kuangyin with blood on his armor, Gao Huaide stood in front of the tent and waited for the journey. Guo Rong laughed happily, "Two dear friends, how are you getting? Haha..."

Gao Huaide looked at Zhao Kuangyin and responded: "A total of nearly 20,000 enemies were wiped out. In addition to Zhu Yuan's troops, there were more than 7,000 surrendered soldiers. The Tang general Xu Wenzhen and Bian Hao were captured alive..."

"Okay, okay..." Guo Rong looked at Zhao Kuangyin in great joy, "How come Zhao Aiqing... isn't happy?"

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly knelt down on one knee, "Mr. Zhao, Elder Fu and others..."

Before Zhao Kuangyin could finish his speech, Wu Wangbo said anxiously: "What's wrong with Yinshan and the others?"

"Mr. Zhao and the others... They shot and killed someone."

"What?" Guo Rong took a step back in shock.

When Luo Xiaoyao saw that there was no Zhao Yinshan beside Zhao Kuangyin and Elder Fu was accompanied, he felt a secret feeling that something was wrong. Due to Guo Rong's presence, he had never asked about the whereabouts of Zhao Yinshan and others. He heard this and was astonished as thunder.

After a few breaths, Wu Wangbo, who was shocked, said in a deep voice: "How did Yinshan and the others die... Does General Zhao know?"

"After the general led his troops to capture the fifth camp of the Tang army and led his troops to attack the sixth camp from the plank road, a hidden arrow suddenly shot out from the woods on the mountainside, attacking Elder Fu. When Elder Fu raised his sword to split the hidden arrow, the general saw that his figure was shocked and retreated. When he could not stop and knocked down the two camp guards behind him, he saw another flying arrow following him."

"But at that time, Mo jumped up and blocked Mr. Zhao with his sword. But the arrow was so powerful that it shocked Mr. Zhao in the air and crashed into the general. Mo Jiang could not bear the force and fell into the woods under the plank road. At that time, two screams of sounds breaking through the air were heard. Then he saw Elder Fu also landed, but it was already a piercing arrow..."

"The last general, but I think the person is powerful, so I hurriedly called the soldiers to protect Mr. Zhao. At that time, I heard several consecutive sounds of breaking through the air... When the last general leaped onto the plank road, I saw a sharp arrow coming out from Mr. Zhao's back in the back... and the other two elders were also killed by arrows."

Everyone was shocked and speechless. After a long time, Guo Rong, who was pale, said in a deep voice: "What about later?"

"After Mr. Zhao fell, no hidden arrows were shot out from the mountains and forests. At that time, the minister had no intention of attacking the Tang soldiers, and ordered the Shenhu Camp and Guards to enter the forest to surround the murderer, but they could not find the trace of the murderer..."

Wu Wangbo said, "Where is the body of Yinshan and others?"

"Resident in Shenhu Camp..."

When Guo Rong heard this, he looked at each other and said nothing, he led everyone to the camp of Shouzhou City without saying a word.

After checking the bodies of Zhao Yinshan and Elder Fu and others, Wu Wangbo called Luo Xiaoyao aside and said, "Xiaoyao, you, Mu Yun, Wanzhen, and others rushed back to the island quickly and report this to your master... Let him come to the Shouzhou Military Camp."

"Disciple obeys the order." Luo Xiaoyao did not dare to delay for a moment. He immediately took Xiao Muyun with him and Lin Wanzhen rushed to Mowang Island.

………

Three days later, at the Shen period, eight people stood on the bank of a Huai River embankment north of Zijin Mountain, but they were Chu Nanfeng and his wife who came with Luo Xiaoyao and the other two, Ming Wu, Wu Wangbo and Hua Qianxing.

Chu Nanfeng looked at the messy valley in front of him and said to Wu Wangbo: "It was my disciple who was careless. The disciple thought that Elder Liu and the other three were killed, which was done by the masters of the Southern Tang army... But with the news that Xiaoyao found from Lei Jiao, Elder Fu, Yin Shan and others died, the murderer should have come specially to assassinate the elder of Tongbao Pavilion, not Jun Gui."

"Who is the murderer? Is it Zhiku and others? If they... what is their purpose? How dare you show up and hurt Hanshui with "Fate Pass", why don't you dare to kill the elders directly in Kaifeng?"

Hua Qianxing said suspiciously: "Even if the elders are many, there are only five elders, Elder Fu, Elder Liu, and Elder Tang, who are the small realm of Baodan, and the other ten are at most successful divine thoughts, Mingqiao Mountain... With the wisdom and suffering, the golden realm of Zhiguang and the two can be dealt with."

"And Zhiku and the others mainly found a guardian. Killing the elders was of no use to them, and they would alarm us." Wu Wangbo continued, "The elders didn't know about the soldiers who came to the Shouzhou military camp, and Yinshan and Elder Fu were guarding Zhao Kuangyin's side. How could the murderer know? At that time, he was hiding in the forest and shooting arrows..."

"I had doubts that some people in the Great Zhou Dynasty had a hard time colluding with Zhi, but it seems that this is the case now."

While everyone was looking at each other, Chu Nanfeng said again: "And this person knew that Tongbao Pavilion not only provided huge sums of money to Jungui, but also made the elders secretly protect Jungui... He had bad intentions, so he asked Zhiku and his group to kill Tongbao Pavilion first, and so it also made Zhiku find Hanshui inadvertently..."

Luo Xiaoyao learned from Lei Jiao that Shen Liancheng was also searching for the secretly. When he shot and killed the murderer of Elder Liu and the other three, he also guessed that the murderer came to Tongbao Pavilion, he was shocked when he heard what Chu Nanfeng said.

"In order not to attract our attention, we took advantage of the opportunity of fighting between the two armies, mixed in the chaos, and shot the elders with hidden arrows, so that we could not find out their origins from martial arts. The purpose was to blame the Southern Tang... If Xiaoyao had not met Lei Jiao, we would probably have looked for the Southern Tang army."

Chu Nanfeng paused, pondered for a moment, and looked at Luo Xiaoyao, "Did you tell outsiders what Reggio said?"

"Apart from the two masters, Uncle Jiang, Uncle Zhao and Elder Fu, only the disciples and the two junior sisters are aware of it."

Wu Wangbo hesitated for a moment and said, "Does Nanfeng think there are traitors in the Shouzhou army?"

"Elder Liu, Elder Fu and Junior Brother Yinshan appeared in the army and participated in the battle, but they could not hide their traces. If it were suspected, it was possible that tens of thousands of Great Zhou soldiers and horses besieged Shouzhou... But the person behind the scenes was definitely not in the Shouzhou military camp." Chu Nanfeng said.

"After Qiubai searched for Mowang Island, his disciples agreed to let the elders come to Shouzhou camp to help. At that time, the people behind the scenes knew that the elders would come to Shouzhou..."

Wu Wangbo was shocked. "In this way, isn't this person an important official beside Jun Gui... a person who can participate in military and political affairs?"

"This person's identity should be quite high, but he is not sure who can participate in the march and formation..." Chu Nanfeng shook his head, "What's more, Jun Gui, Qiu Bai has no need to report the elders' accompanying the army to the army."

Luo Xiaoyao heard this and thoughts, "Master, is there a secret thread of wisdom and suffering in the Divine Tiger Camp?"

"No," Chu Nanfeng nodded and said, "The elders agreed to serve Jungui only since your father tried his best to persuade him, but they were unwilling to join the army. They only hid in the other courtyard to protect Jungui in secret."

"This time, the elders were invited to help the Shouzhou army... Outsiders are aware of it, but the Shenhu Yingwei should be aware of it. There are only more than 300 people in the Shenhu Yingwei. Since the dissolution of Tongbao Pavilion and the students of the academy, there are more than 1,300 people..."

Chu Nanfeng paused, his expression was solemn, "I had just asked Junior Brother Qiubai that this time a thousand people followed Zhao Kuangyin to Shouzhou camp, and most of them were the Arrow Guards of the Original Tongbao Pavilion..."

Hua Qianxing said in surprise: "Nanfeng, are you talking about the fact that some people in the Shenhu Camp and Guard have bought them for the suffering of wisdom?"

"When it's possible." Chu Nanfeng nodded and looked at Luo Xiaoyao, "Do you say General Zhao had asked... your uncle Zhao and elder Fu to protect Jungui?"

"That's right, the uncle and his wife were afraid that there would be masters in the Tang army, which would be detrimental to General Zhao, so they decided to stay with Elder Fu and the others to protect each other..." Luo Xiaoyao nodded and said.

"Nan Feng thinks Zhao Kuangyin is suspected?" Wu Wangbo's eyes flashed.

Chu Nanfeng pondered for a long time, and said, "I met him in Xizhou on the way to take his sister back to the academy, but I saw that he was full of passion and thought of making the people live and live happily... But when Qiubai heard that during the battle of Gaoping, he led the way and charged forward to protect Jungui, thinking that he was not an evil person."

Wu Wangbo hesitated for a moment, "This matter is of great importance. Nanfeng, you must be careful!"

Chu Nanfeng nodded, "The disciples will explain to Qiu Bai privately... Let him secretly investigate all the Shenhu Camp and Guards who accompanied the army this time."

Hua Qianxing said suspiciously: "This time when fighting against the Southern Tang Dynasty, nearly 200 people died in the Shenhu Yingwei, and more than 800 people... How can Qiubai and his wife investigate it?"

Wu Wangbo continued: "We can select a group of calm people from the Shenhu Yingwei who are born in academy students, such as Yan Qiu, Shao Wen and others... to help Qiu Bai."

"The students had a strong relationship with Junior Brother Yinshan, but they knew that Junior Brother Yinshan died because someone betrayed the Shenhu Camp. They may not be able to endure the emotions and lack experience. They should not inform them. This matter must be adjusted to the Arrow Guards in Lingxiu Village and let them join the Shenhu Camp to secretly assist Qiubai..."

Chu Nanfeng paused, looked at Wu Wangbo with guilt on his face: "Junior Brother Yinshan is in trouble, but how did I explain to his family..."

Wu and Hua looked at each other, sighing in their hearts. Wu Wangbo said in a moment: "This may be destined to be a disaster. Nanfeng, you don't have to blame yourself... Jungui still has military affairs, and it is impossible for him to return to Beijing. Brother Hua, you can protect him. I will escort Yin Shan's body back to Taibai Academy tomorrow. What do you think?"

Chu Nanfeng sighed, "This is the only way now. The disciple will send Elder Fu and his body to Kaifeng tomorrow. After making some arrangements with Manager Pei and Elder Tang, he will immediately rush to the academy... to send Junior Brother Yinshan for the last journey."

...

Two days later, Chu Nanfeng and his wife and Luo Xiaoyao brothers and sisters came to Kaifeng. Manager Pei knew that Zhao Yinshan, Elder Fu and others were also shot and killed with hidden arrows. He was shocked, "There is such a master in the Southern Tang army? Does Mr. Chu know who he is?"

Chu Nanfeng shook his head and said, "It was not a worshipper in the Southern Tang army. According to Chu, it was done by someone who hurt your pavilion leader."

Manager Pei was shocked, "Is it the evil monk with the Dharma name Zhishao?"

Chu Nanfeng nodded, "Maybe his apprentice...and there is still suspicious thing in this matter, so Manager Pei still needs to help him."

"Mr. Chu, please give me instructions, Pei obeys everything."

"Chu thought someone in the Shenhu Camp Guard revealed to the murderer the whereabouts of Elder Fu and the others...even where Lingxiu Village is located."

"Ah?! Is the Arrow Guard who joined the camp?" Manager Pei was shocked again, but he felt a little and said suspiciously: "It is possible that if the whereabouts of the elders of the other courtyard are known to them, but no one will know the Arrow Guards in which Lingxiu Village are located."

"The commander Fang thought so, but there is no airtight wall in the world. It seems that some of the arrow guards are for knowledge." Chu Nanfeng paused and said, "How many elders are there in the other courtyard?"

"There are also seven elders including Tang and Lu. This time they were also with the army. Later, Lord Jiang said that there was Mr. Wu and Mr. Hua followed the emperor's side, so he asked them to stay in Kaifeng... Only two elders who were just protecting the emperor in the palace would go there."

Chu Nanfeng nodded, "Manager Pei can send a message to Elder Weng, and bring twenty direct arrow guards from Lingxiu Village to Kaifeng to join the Shenhu Camp. I soon my junior brother Jiang will let the Shenhu Camp guards who are staying in Kaifeng go to the front of the formation... Then let those direct arrow guards secretly assist him in investigating clues."

"And the murderer may still be lurking in front of the formation. This time, Elder Tang and the others will follow the army. Elder Weng can accompany me secretly. Then contact me, Master Hua and Master Ming Wu, and use the appearance of Elder Tang and the others to lure the murderer out. He may be taken down by then."

It turned out that when Chu Nanfeng left Shouzhou, he left Yinwu in the military camp.

"Okay, Mr. Chu, I'll do it right away..." Manager Pei immediately stood up.

Chu Nanfeng also stood up and said, "Chu is going to see how Qingqing and the others practiced the elixirs... and rushed to Taibai Mountain again, and did not dare to stay for a long time, so he said goodbye."

When the crowd arrived at Princess Gaoping's mansion, Chang Qingqing was very surprised, "I don't know if the gentleman will come here, Qingqing is frightened."

Chu Nanfeng smiled and said, "Prince Qingqing worked hard day and night to refine elixirs, which made me feel uneasy..."

"Mr. Chu's words are so great. Qingqing is ashamed of repaying Mr. Luo's great kindness, but I hope he can contribute his little efforts to recover from his injury."

Chu Nanfeng nodded, "I don't know how the elixir has been refined?"

"In another three days, the furnace can be turned on...just not know if it is all refined."

Looking at Chang Qingqing, who looked ashamed, Chu Nanfeng smiled slightly, "This pill is really hard to refine. I was overjoyed to be able to refine one pill last month... But I think the princess and the Taoist priests will surely make the furnace pill soon, don't worry, don't worry."

After a pause, he looked at Luo Xiaoyao, "Your teacher and your master's wife are going to visit your master's aunt, and then they will rush to Taibai Mountain. You and Mu Yun, Wanzhen, should be able to stay in the princess's mansion. After three days, the elixir will be completed and quickly sent to the island to take it with your father."

Luo Xiaoyao has been in Taibai Academy for ten years and has a deep relationship with Zhao Yinshan. Although he also wanted to go to Taibai Mountain to send Zhao Yinshan for the last journey, he knew the importance of "Puyuan Dan" to Luo Hanshui. Hearing this, he and Xiao and Lin both held a tribute and said, "Disciple obey the order."

Chu Nanfeng and his wife left the princess's mansion and went to Cheng Zheng's mansion.

Chu was unwilling to see Chu Nanfeng and his wife come to visit, so he hurriedly welcomed them into the hall and said with a smile: "You and his wife have martial arts skills, but they travel thousands of miles a day. Sister, I have no power to tie a chicken, but it is not easy to see you. Your brother-in-law is busy with court affairs, but after Rou'er got married, she made her sister lonely... You have to stay for a few more days before you can go there."

Chu Nanfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Before attacking the Nantang formation, Junior Brother Yinshan was unfortunately killed. Brother and Xilan were going back to the academy to handle the funeral with him..."

"Ah?!" Chu was very surprised, "The Yinshan brothers are also very good at martial arts. How could such a thing happen?"

"The sword is ruthless. Even if the martial arts skills are the best in the world, thousands of troops and horses are fighting... it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows from rising." Chu Nanfeng sighed in his heart.

"What a pity Brother Yinshan." Chu shook his head, sighed, looked at Chu Nanfeng with a concern, "Sister knows that you, like your brother-in-law, have the intention of contributing to the people of the world to live and work in peace, so he dare not ask about your behavior. Sister only hopes that you and your wife will be careful in everything... safe and safe."
