The following day was peaceful.

To be exact, Kong Chen and the Begonia had intentionally avoided them, and since they couldn't meet face to face, there was naturally no conflict between them.

At the very least, we now know that the person whom you mercifully let go of at that time was the pampered empress dowager of the palace. No matter what, the palace will announce to the world that this empress dowager has passed away, and that the history officials have recorded it as such, but she is still alive in this White Horse Temple, and this is our biggest gain from this trip. "

The night in the mountain was exceptionally peaceful, because the burden in their hearts had already been lifted. They still had to hurry on their journey the next day, so they had to rest early.

Outside White Horse Temple, a group of guards quietly went up the mountain.

The side courtyard was rather far away from the main hall to begin with, so the activity from the main hall didn't reach the side courtyard until the guards broke into the side hall.

From the very first moment, Qian Yexun and Ban Xia were alarmed.

"Not good, there seem to be a lot of people outside the courtyard. These people should all have martial arts skills, and they must have come with ill intentions."

Ban Xia hurriedly put on her clothes as she thought of two people.

"Tell me, are these people here for us? Or are they here for Kong Chen and the Begonia?"

A small hole was pierced through the window paper. He could roughly see the situation outside.

"Guards of the Janissaries, not assassins in black."

The two of them returned to the side of the landslide as fast as they could. After quickly changing their appearances, they laid back down on the landslide.

Not long after, the guards knocked on the door and captured them.

The ones caught, as well as their subordinates and the other pilgrims who stayed in the side courtyard, were all gathered together at around twenty to thirty people.

The elders of the temple hurried over after hearing the news.

"What's going on? This is an important area of the buddhist faith, how can you capture people here in the temple?" These people are all pilgrims who have come to the temple. "

It was the first time in the past hundred years that Gu Sha had encountered a surprise attack from so many guards.

"We are here to capture the culprit of the imperial court. All of you can just move to the side and obediently cooperate with us." One of the commanders stepped forward at the right time.

The elder's expression changed, "Why would we have imperial court officials here? Don't tell me you're mistaken. "

While they were talking, several guards rushed two people over.

"That's them."

Qian Yexun and Ban Xia who were caught, mixed into the crowd of pilgrims, when they raised their heads, they were shocked to discover that it was Kong Chen and Begonia who were caught!

The imperial government had sent out so many guards all of a sudden, it turned out that they were after Kong Chen and Begonia.

Had their identities been exposed?

But that commander, and so many guards, only treated them as ordinary pilgrims, and did not search through them one by one. This meant that the problem did not occur to them.

After coming to this conclusion, Qian Yexun hinted to Ban Xia that they couldn't act rashly right now.

The crabapple fought back violently, she was trying to hide her fear.

When the hood was taken off, it revealed the baldness of his head, not just for the Begonia, but even for Kong Chen.

The patriarchs of the White Horse Temple immediately stood out to protect the people of their temple.

The leader's gaze was sharp as he stared intently at Kong Chen who had lowered his eyes.

At this time, Kong Chen did not even look directly into his eyes.

"You have no business here. If I say they are the imperial court's accomplices, then they are the imperial court's accomplices. You speak so much, are you trying to capture them with you?"

He had indeed frightened that elder with his threats.

"We need to bring these two people and the pilgrims back to interrogate them."

This way, it would be equivalent to carrying out the entire side courtyard.

If word of this got out, then the consequences would be dire. In the future, who would dare to burn incense and pay respects in the White Horse Temple, who would dare to stay here? The elder was unresigned, but the opponent's long spear was pointed straight at him, so he didn't dare to make a sound.

"We didn't commit any crimes. Why would they want to capture us?"

"We are here to eat and recite buddhist chants. We have done nothing wrong, yet we are about to be caught?"

"There are no laws in this world yet!"

The pilgrims were all indignant, but those guards didn't care about their indignation and anger.

A group of people were escorted out of the side hall. What surprised Qian Yexun and Ban Xia was that there were actually many guards who came out this time, surrounding the entire White Horse Temple.

Only a small part of them went in to capture him.

More and more guards stayed outside the main hall and temple.

Such a big fight made them realize that something was wrong.

Halfway down the mountain, the group suddenly stopped.

Very quickly, Qian Yexun, Ban Xia and the other guests were brought to the forest by the guards.

As for the captured Kong Chen and Begonia, they were both left in their original places.

"Not good, they're trying to silence us by killing us. With such a big commotion tonight, I'm afraid these innocent people will die with us!"

It was still the middle of the night, but they were tied up in order to go deeper into the mountain forest. Their intentions were very terrifying.

Ban Xia panicked and asked in a low voice.

"What should we do now? "There are so many people here, it would be easy if we wanted to escape by ourselves, but if we were to bring so many people with us to escape, it would be really risky. The other party has so many people, and these pilgrims do not have the strength or ability to protect themselves …"

Qian Yexun also knew that now was not the time for them to act on their own accord.

"We'll act accordingly later. As for whether or not these people can escape, it all depends on their luck. This forest is very deep. As long as we can run deeper into the forest and hide, we'll be able to save our lives …"

Looking at the dark and pitch black mountain forest, Qian Yexun had no other choice.

He was not the savior of the world. The current him only had one subordinate with him, and he was still the target of assassination. His current situation was extremely difficult for him.

As expected, the group stopped in the depths of the forest.

Guards began digging holes. They were digging a big hole, one that could bury a lot of people.

Some of the guests lost their composure, and some female pilgrims even started to cry.

Mother, I don't want to die yet. I already said that I wouldn't come to White Horse Temple to burn the incense, but you insisted on me coming.

As he cried, the other female pilgrims also followed.

"Why did you want to kill us? We didn't do anything. "

These innocent pilgrims, indignant.

"Let us go, let us go!"

Qian Yexun and Ban Xia hid amongst the pilgrims and began to try to struggle free from the rope binding them …

The hole had been dug, and some timid women were crying even harder.

These guards had no idea what was going on and did not try to stop these women from crying. In any case, it wouldn't be long before all of them were going to die and be buried alive.

Qian Yexun and Ban Xia who had already escaped the rope hid in the crowd, waiting for the final opportunity to come.

"Chase these people over!"

Just as they were about to be buried alive, someone from the crowd suddenly shouted, "Why are you trying to kill us? Why are you trying to do so? We can't accept this!"

This cry of injustice was like a fire ignited in the night, bringing the emotions of all the innocent people to an unprecedented boiling point.

Relying on his decent abilities, Qian Yexun mobilized his subordinates and started to attack the guards that were surrounding them.

Of course, Ban Xia herself wasn't idle, she had chosen another way to break through.

The clash happened in an instant.

Although the armored guards all had weapons in their hands, the unarmed and innocent civilians desperately tried to carve out a path of blood for themselves. Soon, the two sides began to fight.

"Run! Run into the depths of the forest!"

Someone shouted loudly as they ran towards the dark and dense forest.

This cry was echoed by all the citizens.

Thus, there were even more people who ran into the endless forest.

"Crap!" "Something bad has happened."

The guards reacted and chased after him.

"Quick, we have to move quickly." This large piece of forest was indeed the best natural hiding place. With the cover of the night, if one was lucky, and had the strength to run quickly enough, escaping by luck should be possible.

Qian Yexun was originally together with his subordinates, but because he was worried about Ban Xia, afraid that she would be left in danger all by herself, he came looking for her.

Ban Xia's panicked heart, suddenly calmed down.

Right now, she wasn't running for her life alone. She still had helpers, and helpers that she could trust.

This feeling seemed to be pretty good.

Very quickly, the noise around them grew further and further away. No one knew how long they had been running, and no one knew how far they had run. Ban Xia only knew that she was very, very tired, and almost couldn't even move a single step.

However, she tightly grasped her hand and did not loosen her grip. The steps of the master and servant did not relax just because of that, so she also grinded her teeth and continued to follow them.
