It had been enough time for Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu to leave for a stick of incense, but Hua Linlang still lay there without any movement, and even his breathing became lighter than before.

What he was worried about was naturally that Kang Jinlong would kill a resurgence. He was not very good at martial arts and could survive until now because of this kind of caution and caution.

Finally, when about half of the incense stick passed, when he was lying on the branches for too long because he had been numb and even cramped, he slowly slid down from the tree with great care.

Then after a moment of confusion, he still walked towards the open space where corpses were everywhere.

Of course, he was not kind enough to collect the corpses of the ten unlucky guys who lie on the ground who ended up dying under the greed in his heart. He just wanted to see if he could get a flaw.

Although he had seen Kang Jinlong touch every corpse before.

The result really disappointed him. Kang Jinlong did search cleanly and did not leave him any benefit.

...

"Your guess is indeed correct. There is actually a mouse."

Just as Hua Linlang was deeply disappointed that these corpses were searched too clean and could not help cursing Kang Jinlong, a voice sounded in his ears, making his body stunned for a moment.

The one who made a sound was naturally the object of being scolded by him - Kang Jinlong. And by his side, Fang Ritu was naturally.

"What do you think we should deal with this mouse?"

Kang Jinlong naturally disdained the mouse he said.

A mouse who had just run out of energy and had half-disabled before the last two people in the martial arts world could not rush out to kill the two of them and had stolen silver. It was obviously not a threat to him at all.

Faced with Kang Jinlong's almost joking question, Fang Ritu did not answer. He knew in his heart that Kang Jinlong's question was not just asking him, but to deliberately say that it was to Hua Linlang in front of him.

After all, for a mouse like Hua Linlang, who is likely to expose their whereabouts and identity, it is safest to kill and silence them.

Anyway, he doesn't need to do it, and it doesn't take much effort anyway.

Of course, this was entirely because he did not recognize the short and thin man in front of him, the one who was the one who tried his best to catch him at Guangyuan Teahouse that day, but in the end he failed, which made him lose his life by Bai Shier.

...

Looking at Kang Jinlong, who had a fatal smile on his face and a predator's gaze in his eyes, Hua Linlang's hands and feet were cold.

Naturally, he felt extremely regretful about the decision just now and the greed in his heart, but there was never any regret medicine in this world. No matter how much he regretted it, it was too late. The only thing he could consider now was how to save his life.

There was obviously no hope of running around and running away. He had already seen it clearly before lying on the tree canopy. Kang Jinlong's light skills may not be too clever, but there is absolutely no problem catching up with him.

Not to mention, he had already seen Kang Jinlong's ability to throw sword scabbards before. As long as he was disturbed by the sword scabbards thrown by Kang Jinlong for a moment, it would be enough Kang Jinlong to catch up with him and use his sword blade to cut his throat.

As for begging for mercy, it is even more unlikely, because the other party has no reason to let him go.

For secrets, the safest thing is to die.

So in desperation, Hua Linlang had no choice but to choose the last "road to survive".

"Are you looking for Hua Linlang again?"

Seeing that Kang Jinlong's hand had touched the hilt of the sword, Hua Linlang spoke expressionlessly and said this question that could temporarily save his life.

"Who are you?"

Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu, who originally only regarded Hua Linlang as a mouse, immediately changed their faces after hearing this question. Kang Jinlong instantly drew his sword in his hand, took a step towards Fang Ritu without moving, and quietly blocked him behind him.

It was just this question that he dared not treat Hua Linlang as a mouse anymore.

Because they were looking for Hua Linlang, not many people knew about it.

Not far outside Quanzhou Prefecture City, the two of them could think that the person who knew about this only had one identity.

"Are you Mu Yixing's person?"

Kang Jinlong narrowed his eyes and stared at Hua Linlang's expression, as if he wanted to see something from it.

But unfortunately, he was the wrong starting point and naturally could not get the correct answer.

"Mu Yixing, deputy leader of Zhenhai Gang?"

Hua Linlang, who didn't know Mu Yixing's true identity, immediately muttered in his heart when he heard Kang Jinlong's question. He couldn't understand Kang Jinlong's question, so he couldn't help but ask directly.

"Who are you?"

Hearing Hua Linlang's inquiry, how could Kang Jinlong not know how he guessed wrong? Naturally, the expression on his face became even more ugly at this moment. His fingers holding the hilt of the sword also used greater force, and his eyes were even more dangerous.

“I didn’t expect it,”

Kang Jinlong could not guess Hua Linlang's identity. Fang Ritu, who was blocked by Kang Jinlong, had already felt a little clear in her heart, and she had a little surprise in her voice. Before Hua Linlang could answer, she spoke first.

"Hua Linlang, who has always liked to pretend to be a beautiful woman, turned out to be a man."

"What?! He is Hua Linlang?"

Hua Linlang had no reaction yet, but Kang Jinlong seemed to be shocked by Fang Ritu's words. He couldn't help but exclaim, and turned his head to look at Fang Ritu, his face full of suspicion.

Just as Fang Ritu said, Hua Linlang in the rumors in the world always appears as a beautiful beauty. Apart from her figure, the man in front of her looks as weak as a woman, she has nothing to do with the beautiful beauty no matter how she looks.

Especially that face, it looks completely ordinary and doesn't look like a beauty.

"But because of this, when he removes all his disguise and appears in his true form, no one will guess that he is Hua Linlang."

Fang Ritu's face showed a little sigh and explained to Kang Jinlong with a gentle mouth.

"That's true."

Kang Jinlong turned his head and looked at Hua Linlang extremely carefully, and couldn't help but nod and said in agreement. However, the expression on his face still betrayed his true heart.

"It's very simple to prove whether he is Hua Linlang. It's enough to let him disguise himself as the woman I had met when I was in Guangyuan Teahouse that day."

After working with each other for so many years, Fang Ritu immediately saw the undispelled suspicion deep in Kang Jinlong's heart. After shook his head helplessly, he spoke again and suggested.

"But, if he proves that he is indeed Hua Linlang, what should we do next?"

However, Fang Ritu immediately asked another question.

Before, because he didn't catch Hua Linlang, he could stay alone to recover from his injuries. Kang Jinlong went south to deliver a letter to Zhuque, but now it is obviously not possible. Without Kang Jinlong, he is even struggling to get out of bed and walk. Not to mention taking Hua Linlang north to return to Yangzhou Prefecture, there is no possibility of just watching Hua Linlang.

"Indeed, you are unable to move around now, so it is impossible for you to go on the road, but I can't take him south to see Zhuque."

Kang Jinlong looked at Hua Linlang with a little confusion on his face.

But his heart was already in ecstasy.

He was originally having a headache about how to convince Fang Ritu to stand in the same camp as him. Now with this excuse to stay in the same place for nearly a month, he had enough time to convince Fang Ritu.

"At present, in my opinion, the most important thing for us now is to find a secluded place for you to recover from your injuries first. As for the others, it is better to make plans until your injuries are recovered."

"That's all."

He looked at Kang Jinlong deeply, and Fang Ritu finally did not object, nor did he expose Kang Jinlong's thoughts.

In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with spending more days outside and giving Qinglong enough time to deal with rumors.

Moreover, since you have already captured Hua Linlang and completed the task, there is nothing to worry about.

Although it may take twice as much time as planned, this is also a reason. Qinglong cannot punish him and Kang Jinlong for this.

Looking at Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu who had been talking, she felt that she had become a "outsider". Although she wanted to turn around and escape when the two were not paying attention, she still didn't have the courage to implement it in the end.

He was worried that if he did this, he would be directly interrupted by Kang Jinlong.

After all, judging from the news that Fang Ritu revealed before, they arrested themselves for their disguise skills, and the disguise skills obviously cannot use his legs.

On the contrary, these two legs may have taken him away.

"You should be glad you saved your legs."

When Kang Jinlong stopped talking with Fang Ritu and turned his attention to him again, his guess was immediately confirmed by Kang Jinlong.

...

Although he found Hua Linlang's identity from Chao Wangtian, Bai Shier was at a loss for the reason for finding and arresting Hua Linlang for the Tianyan Sect. Of course, he found Hua Linlang's whereabouts at this time.

In his opinion, as long as it is expected by the enemy, it must be destroyed. Therefore, if Hua Linlang can be found and monitored and controlled, it will be excellent whether it is used to lure Fang Ritu and rescue Fang Ritu or to disgust Tianyan Sect.

But he would never guess that Hua Linlang had already "got into the trap" at this time.

When nightfall was in charge again, Bai Shier finally chose to give up.

What Hua Linlang relies on for fame is nothing more than disguise techniques. In this regard, he already has Gu Daliang around him, who is embodied in disguise skills. Even if Tianyan Sect can catch Hua Linlang next, as long as he is careful to deal with it, there will be no big problems.

Of course, the more important reason is that the top priority at this time is to deal with the upcoming attacks of Mu Yixing. He cannot and does not have much energy and time to spend it on this matter.

He has taken a day to take more attention.

As for how to deal with Mu Yixing's sneak attack, he had already made a general plan as soon as Peng Zhenlei led the disciples of the Changbai Sword Sect and the East Factory's men to set off. After the carving and polishing in the past few days, it had already been formed. Next, it was time to mobilize and arrange all the power that could be used at hand.

Needless to say, Hu Xiaolin and his group did not have the imperial edict from the emperor's brother-in-law, Hu Xiaolin and his subordinates had always trusted his judgment and plan very much. As long as he gave the order, he would definitely implement it resolutely.

Although Zheng Yixiang of the Jinyiwei did not believe his reminder before and felt that he was exaggerating, under his "threat" today, his attitude has changed to "it is better to believe that he has than to believe that he has nothing."

The black hat on the matter is even his life. I believe Zheng Yixiang dare not be careless. Naturally, his subordinates must not be careless at all.

If he hadn't experienced the crazy night on Mount Santai, Bai Shier would probably feel that his strength was almost the same at this time.

After all, Zheng Yixiang's elite Jinyiwei has more than 20 people, plus more than ten people including Hu Xiaolin and more than 30 people, and they are all good at it. With a strong crossbow and a hard bow, it is already powerful enough that a hard bow can keep Mu Yixing.

But after the last time that Zhu Jinxuan almost died because she despised the enemy's power, and the experience of lying weakly in bed for a whole day, Bai Shier's courage seems to have become much smaller now.

Therefore, it is estimated that Mu Yixing's sneak attack will have to wait for at least two to three days before he will launch it, and he will attack the county government office, government office and Zhenhai Gang.
