When passing by the inn, the four of them stopped horses and entered the inn and had a meal here. When asked about the owner of the house and the blind girl of the house, the waiter said, "I haven't returned from home." Huang Fang and the other three did not care, but Guo Rong was secretly shocked: the owner of the house deliberately traveled a long distance and notified the elder brother, why are they not in the house now? After drinking and eating, the four of them set off again to continue their journey.

At night, we were approaching Tiandi Manor. But we saw three Kongming lanterns floating above the manor, as big as a room floating in the air. The lantern paper was red, and it looked particularly eye-catching in the night sky. It can be seen that the words were written outside the Kongming lantern, which were the four words "Welcome to come". The three Kongming lanterns all looked the same, floating in the air but not floating away, and should be tied to a rope. Guo Rong said: "I didn't expect Tiandi Manor to be so dedicated. What is this?" Everyone laughed silently, unable to guess what they were playing.

When he ran to the nearest place, Yan Rufeng said, "Rong'er, why not shoot down all these three lamps?" Guo Rong smiled and said, "No need. The owner of the manor sent Brother Sun first. It is a courtesy. Those who come here without going forward are not courtesy. We cannot treat guests from afar like this." So he continued to run towards the front door. Seeing that there were big red lanterns hanging high outside the door, which was like a festive celebration, which made the four of them really confused.

Everyone tied the horse under the big tree in front of the door. Then, Guo Rong went up to knock on the door, but the door was hidden and opened. He gently pushed it open and saw that there was no one inside. Guo Rong turned around and looked at the three of them, who were looking at him in surprise. Guo Rong stepped in, and Huang Fang and the other three followed. Guo Rong said loudly: "Bai Zhuangzhu, Guo Rong is visiting, please come out to meet." While walking in, he shouted loudly, but there was no response. The four of them were shocked and unknown.

Guo Rong continued to walk in front. The four of them looked in different directions, staring at every move around, shouting, but no one appeared along the way. The entire Tiandi Manor was quiet, and there was not even a ghost, which was creepy.

Suddenly, everyone stopped and stood together. Guo Rong said, "What's going on? Why are there no one here? Baihu invited us to visit the house. Is this how we are treating guests?" Everyone was puzzled, and Yan Rufeng said, "I'm afraid there will be fraud, so don't leave." Everyone answered.

"General Guo, General Guo!" Suddenly, there were shouts coming from outside. Guo Rong heard the debate and was Zhang Xing. He knew that the people from the Jinyiwei had also arrived. So the four of them hurried out.

When they arrived at the gate, they saw Zhang Xing as the leader, leading nearly Baijin Yiwei, standing at the door waiting in a black robe, holding long swords, and were so mighty. When they saw Guo Rong, Zhang Xing was overjoyed and rushed over, saying, "General Guo, what's the situation?" Guo Rong said, "We just arrived here and found that there was no one inside. Didn't you just attacked with the sound arrows as the call, why did you shout here?" It turned out that Guo Rong and Zhang Jianxiu agreed that Zhang Xing led the Yiwei to ambush outside the village, and waited for Guo Rong's sound arrows to take off the air before everyone attacked. Either the arrows were fired at once, or the swords and guns were slashed, or the fire attacked, to catch the Tiandi Manor off guard.

Zhang Xing said: "But after we were ambushing around for a while, something was wrong. No figure or voice appeared in the village. When General Guo and the four heroes arrived, they saw that you went deep into the village and did not find anything, so they appeared and shouted, worried that you would fall into the enemy's trap." Guo Rong and the other four understood. Yan Rufeng said: "Is this the case when you got here?" Zhang Xing nodded and replied "yes", and then continued: "In the eyes of his subordinates, there must be some conspiracy waiting inside.

We are the best way to leave quickly." Guo Rong smiled faintly and said, "Hmph, a mere empty manor will scare us away. If you spread it to the world in the future, what are the faces? If you want to leave, take the Jinyiwei, even the underworld, this general will go in and explore." As he said, he turned around and entered, and said, "Zhang Xing, lead everyone here to wait for the good news." Huang Fang, Tang Su and Yan Rufeng said in unison: "Even if it is a sword, a sea of ​​fire, you have to go in!" As he said that, he also entered in the same place.

Yan Rufeng said coldly: "Since they want to hide, then let's try to force them out." So he asked Zhang Xing to send firewood and other items. Those that were originally intended for fire attack by the Jinyiwei were handed over to Guo Rong and four others to carry with him, preparing to burn the Tiandi Manor and force Baihu and others to appear.

After walking in, Guo Rong took the lead in lighting a torch. Seeing that the fire was burning vigorously, he threw it into the house and immediately caught fire. Huang Fang and others were overjoyed and set fire everywhere. The four continued to move forward, and the fire behind them gradually grew. The four of them set fire along the way and set fire to the center of the empty courtyard. They saw three giant Kongming lanterns floating above their heads, and the crimson light reflected down. The four of them felt extremely gloomy and terrifying. The fire behind them gradually became brighter, and the long shadows of the four people were reflected on the ground. The light of the Kongming lantern swayed slightly, and the shadows flickered.

While the four were hesitating, they saw many sword-holding people pouring in the surroundings. The four were shocked and sighed: It was indeed an ambush! Looking closely, they saw that it was the Jinyiwei. The man in the first place was Zhang Xing. He came to Guo Rong and said in surprise: "General Guo, did you find ambush around?" Guo Rong shook his head and asked: "Aren't you guarding outside? Why did you come in suddenly?" Zhang Xing said: "As soon as you came in, you saw many figures shaking behind you. I was worried that everyone would be ambushed, so I hurried in. After coming in, I caught up with you all the way, but found nothing." When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt a burst of murderous aura coming from all over the world, holding their weapons tightly, and looking around intently.

Suddenly, Guo Rong murmured, "How do these three Kongming lanterns float in the air without floating away?" Everyone looked at him. Sure enough, there was no rope tied under the Kongming lantern, so how did they fix the lamp in the air? Everyone was fumbled under the Kongming lantern, as if they wanted to find the hidden rope, but they found nothing.

Just as I felt confused, suddenly, but after hearing three loud "boom boom boom" sounds, everyone looked up, but when they saw Kongming lanterns suddenly explode, fires splashing everywhere, and sparks fell one after another. The sparks fell on the Jinyiwei, they immediately shouted "Wow" and shouted loudly: "Poisonous, poisonous!" They yelled slowly to the ground, their hands and feet twitched a few times before they stopped moving. Obviously, there was a strong poison hidden in Kongming lanterns, which could be fatal as the sparks touched people. Everyone was shocked and immediately avoided the sparks, and the ground suddenly became a mess. Zhang Xing immediately shouted: "Don't bump randomly, leave quickly and orderly!" The Jinyiwei immediately fled around. Guo Rong and the other four were still standing in the middle, quietly watching the chaos in front of them, calming as usual.

The Jinyiwei had just escaped to the edge of the courtyard, and suddenly there was a loud "rumbling" sound, but the houses were pouring down, dust was flying, sand and gravel splashing, and thick smoke rolled. It turned out that a large amount of gunpowder had already been buried underground around the courtyard, and now it was exploded, and the sound was shocking. The Jinyiweiwei were either frightened to escape everywhere, or were directly blown away, injured, screams, screams mixed with gunpowder explosions resounded throughout the sky.

Guo Rong was shocked: "Flash, the underground is full of explosives!" That's right, the explosion of gunpowder gradually moved closer to the center of the courtyard, and the Jinyiwei was blown away one after another, blurring blood. Guo Rong, Huang Fang, Tang Su and Yan Rufeng were all masters of the world. They immediately used their light skills, saw the gaps in the explosion of gunpowder, dodged, and gradually fled out. Guo Rong and Zhang Xing passed by, and saw him standing at a loss on the spot, and were still commanding the Jinyiwei to evacuate.

His voice had long been swallowed up by the explosion. In front of him, the thick smoke was the tragic situation of the flesh and blood falling down by the Jinyiwei. Guo Rong grabbed Zhang Xing and said, "Zhang Xing, follow us!" He used his light skills, took advantage of the gap between the explosion of gunpowder and walked over and fell into the chaotic world. Looking back, the entire courtyard had been blown up by gunpowder, and his feet were covered with rocks and dust. The Jinyiwei fell among the rocks, extremely tragic.

Looking ahead, the entire Tiandi Manor was burning in a raging fire. The fires soared into the sky, and the sound of burning everywhere was endless. Guo Rong and others understood that the fire must not be what they had just released, but that Tiandi Manor had already arranged this "feast" of gunpowder and fire, waiting for everyone to participate.

Zhang Xing cried and said, "General Guo, save them! Save them quickly, they are still saved!" Guo Rong said, "Zhang Xing, they are no longer saved. Tiandi Manor set up a poison plan to wipe out our entire army. We have to cheer up and don't let them succeed so easily." At this time, the buried gunpowder had exploded, but the raging fires around him made nowhere to escape.

Yan Rufeng thought for a while and said, "Twist your weapons next to the burnt corpse. There are several big pits on the stairs, so we hide in the pit. We cover us with stones. There will definitely be vicious methods to use them in the Tiandi Manor next." Now only five people were left. Following Yan Rufeng's guidance, Guo Rong, Huang Fang and Tang Su all threw their weapons next to a burnt corpse, pretending they were burned like this. Then, they hid in the pit and brought stones to cover themselves up.

The thick smoke gradually dissipated, and the fire had already blocked the way. Suddenly, there was a "silly" sound of breaking through the air, but the rain of arrows shot and fell on the stones. Some shot into the cracks of the rocks were stuck there and could not be shot in. The five people hid inside, shocked: If they were not hiding in the pit and blocked them with stones, how could they avoid the arrow rain formation? After a while, they gradually became quiet. The five people were still hiding in the pit. From the cracks, they could see the ground was filled with feathers, like hedgehogs piled up on the ground, which made people feel heartbroken.

I don’t know how long it took, the fire gradually darkened and the sky gradually became brighter. Finally, it was dawn. After the arrow rain, the Tiandi Manor became quiet. Only then did the stones be opened and the feather arrows were everywhere on the ground. The bodies of the Jinyiwei were not spared. Seeing Zhang Xing’s painful look, Yan Rufeng said, “Zhang Xing, if you can’t bear it, you will be in trouble. Now, the only way to follow the plan is to follow the plan.” Everyone understood what he meant, that is, don’t let the other party find that they are still alive. Immediately use the light skills to leave the ruins and come to the countryside. After the five people found the clothes of the farmer’s house to change, they bought horses and rode their horses to the capital.

When they passed by the inn, they saw that the inn was also ruined and no one was everywhere. The five were shocked. They hurriedly stopped and looked around. They saw that there were ruins everywhere, which were also burned by the fire. The five people searched all the way to the villa, but they were also burned out by the fire. Along the way, they saw that there were no signs of fighting on the ground, and they were all surprised. There were no corpses in the ruins, which made them even more puzzled. They could not guess what had happened. Guo Rong said, "Let's go back to Beijing quickly." So the five people boarded the horse and continued to run to the capital.

The five people did not go back to General Shangyi's mansion directly, but returned to the theater in the south of the city. When they came to the theater, they turned out to be a huge mansion, which is now completely renewed. The lintel was written on the door lintel, and the lantern was shining brightly. Guo Rong was surprised: "Who mentioned these five words?" Huang Fang asked: "Isn't it the word written by Lord Zhang?" Guo Rong said: "I have seen his handwriting, which is more vigorous and powerful than the six words that are tilted around. It should not be written by Lord Zhang." That's right, these six words give people the feeling of being handwritten by a new handwriting that has just been learning calligraphy. Not to mention being tilted around, even the powerful pen tip cannot be displayed.

When he arrived at the entrance of the theater, he was stopped and asked, "Five guests, the theater has closed now. Please be early tomorrow." Guo Rong was shocked: "Do we don't know each other? Open the door quickly!" The man was stunned and shook his head and said, "I must know land like you, but I will not let you in."

When everyone heard the "land", they woke up: How can people recognize this way? Huang Fang smiled and said, "Little brother, we are Young Master Cao's friends. If you don't believe it, you will know if you ask him to come out and recognize him." The man half-believed and half-doubted, and said, "Young Master Cao has just stepped down from acting and is now taking off his makeup and preparing to rest. How can you have the leisure to see you? You should leave quickly. Lord Zhang is also inside. If he knows that you dare to make trouble here, you will not have the best fruit of yours." Guo Rong said, "Which Lord Zhang?" The man said, "Of course it is Lord Zhang, the commander of the Jinyiwei." Guo Rong said, "It turns out to be the Fourth Brother. Then you will know when you ask him out to meet him."

While talking, he saw a man walking out of the inside and standing with a sword. It was Zhang Jianxiu. Zhang Xingxiu said happily, "Fourth Young Master, it's me." Zhang Jianxiu heard Zhang Xing's voice, and came to the door in shock and asked, "Zhang Xing, why did you look like this?" After looking at the others carefully, he gradually recognized it and couldn't help laughing. The five of them became embarrassed, and Guo Rong said, "Fourth Brother, let's go in and talk in detail." So Zhang Jianxiu immediately brought everyone in.

After everyone sat down, Guo Rong first asked: "Fourth brother, have you been safe in the past two days?" Zhang Jianxiu asked in surprise: "The Jinyiwei is closely monitoring it, and there are no special incidents yet. What happened? Why are you all like this?" Guo Rong then told the story of going to Tiandi Manor.

After hearing this, Zhang Jianxiu said, "I didn't expect that the Tiandi Manor was in danger and used such vicious means. Humph!" Zhang Xing said, "Fourth Young Master, what should I do next?" Zhang Jianxiu said, "Please use the trick." So Zhang Jianxiu arranged for five people to hide in the theater. He sent the Jinyiwei to protect Shangyi Mansion and his mansion to ensure that everything was foolproof. Zhang Jianxiu did not let them meet Cao Yifeng and other four people, but arranged them to rest in the remote house of the theater. After the arrangement was made, Zhang Jianxiu returned to the mansion to discuss.

Guo Rong thought about it, but still couldn't let it go and tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep. So he simply got up quietly, fumbled out of the house, jumped out of the theater, and ran towards Shangyi Mansion in the direction. He was worried that the princess was still the princess, so he came over to see her at night. Only when he saw that she was safe with his own eyes, he would feel completely relieved.

When he arrived near Shangyi Mansion, he hid quietly in the dark. He looked around carefully and found someone in ambush. When he was secretly frightened, he looked over carefully and found that it was the Jinyiwei. He was secretly happy: The Fourth Brother arranged it so thoughtfully. He could have been relieved, but since he came, why not go in and see clearly. So he threw a stone behind him. The Jinyiwei guard guard in the dark heard a strange noise and hurriedly looked in the direction of the stone. Guo Rong immediately used his accompanying skills to jump into the mansion and headed straight to Zhu Yixuan's room.

When I came outside the house, I saw the light coming out, and knew that Zhu Yixuan had not fallen asleep yet. I was still thinking in my heart: Is Xuanmei the same as me, remembering that she couldn't sleep with convenience? I put my finger on the window paper, gently pierced a hole, and looked inside the house, but saw Zhu Yixuan standing behind someone, tilting her head, watching the man in front of me holding a pen and writing. Guo Rong was surprised: Who would be with Xuanmei? After looking closely, I felt that the figure and clothes were familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

For a while, Zhu Yixuan said, "After the rain, the little lotus rolled on jade beads, and the graceful girl Qiao Yishu. She has a willow eyebrows, her eyes are raised with her cherry mouth, and her slender hands are stroking her silk and smiling." After reading, she laughed and said, "Brother Zhuo, is this what you wrote also a poem?" The man who lowered his head to write raised his head and said, "If you say it's the final word, then there's nothing I can do, and I can't write a better one." When Guo Rong looked up, he clearly saw that he turned out to be a handsome man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, high forehead, straight nose, and a face with a national character. Guo Rong didn't know who he was, nor did Zhu Yixuan know such a handsome man. But when he heard the voice and looked at his figure, he seemed to be quite familiar.

While thinking, Zhu Yixuan continued, "I like it very much, no matter whether it is a poem or not, whether it is a good or not. Are you writing it? If you write me and I don't like this poem, wouldn't it mean that I don't have the beauty of poetry? Hehehe!" Zhu Yixuan's voice was sweet and her laughter was even more charming. With her flower-like smile, anyone would inevitably feel pity when they saw it. Guo Rong couldn't help but feel secretly jealous: Who is this person? How could he be alone with Xuanmei? He is so close!
