The next day.
Yunling Town.
Lotus Garden.
"Xiaoyan, Xiaohua, where are you?"
"Sister Xue, we are here, sister Xue, you lost again!"
"You guys are really good at hiding. My sister lost."
"Haha, Sister Xue is so stupid!"
Fang Xuezheng was playing hide-and-seek with the children, and there was a knock on the door.
The knock on the door was a bit fierce and it didn't sound polite.
Fang Xue asked the children to go back to the big room inside, and went out to open the door. She saw more than ten people standing in front of her, all wearing black brocade clothes, with a big golden snake hovering above them.
Western Dynasty, Golden Snake Guard.
The imperial flag of the Western Dynasty is a golden python, and the only ones who can wear the golden snake on their bodies are the Golden Snake Guards directly under the Western Imperial Palace.
At this moment, the leader asked Fang Xue: "Do Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe live here?"
Fang Xue nodded.
The man said: "Let them come out and I will ask them a few words."
Fang Xue said: "They haven't been here these days."
The man looked at her and suddenly said: "Are you Fang Xue, an outer disciple of Zhenyang Sect Xiyue Peak?"
Fang Xue nodded and said to the other party: "I am the Golden Snake Guard of the Western Dynasty, Liu Shi. Fellow Daoist Fang, do you know Si Minglan?"
Fang Xue's eyebrows twitched. She vaguely guessed the other party's purpose, "Si Minglan is my senior sister."
Liu Shi asked again: "Six months ago, Si Minglan came to Yunling Town to stay for more than a month, left for a few days, and then returned to Yunling Town. Do you know what she did?"
The time Liu Shi asked was on the days when Si Minglan went to assassinate the eldest prince of the Western Dynasty. Fang Xue shook her head:
"I have no idea."
Liu Shi narrowed his eyes and his voice became cold and stern:
"We found out that Si Minglan was seriously injured at the time. The first person she looked for when she returned to Yunling Town was you. You don't know where she went?"
Fang Xue continued to shake her head.
Liu Shi suddenly sneered: "You are not good at lying. Catch you!"
This group of golden snake guards all drew out their long swords, and the blades lit up with light. They were all of foundation-building cultivation, and Liu Shi was at the peak of foundation-building.
A long sword appeared in Fang Xue's hand, she looked at them calmly and said in a clear voice:
"This is Uncle Qin and Sister Qiu's house. Don't break it. Let's go out and fight."
Liu Shi said coldly: "It's not up to you!"
After saying that, the tip of the sword shone brightly and struck towards Fang Xue.
"stop."
A soft and soft voice sounded. Liu Shi paused, turned around and knelt down on one knee. The other Golden Snake Guards also stopped, knelt down towards the visitor, and said in unison:
"The Queen."
Fang Xue looked forward in astonishment, and saw a woman standing calmly. She had picturesque features, her hair was in a bun, and she was wearing an ordinary long skirt, but she exuded an elegant and dignified temperament.
Even though the sun was burning like fire at this moment, it turned into a soft halo when it fell on her body, slowly spreading behind her and turning into a golden glow.
The woman stood in the glow, her snowy skin glowing, and she looked graceful and beautiful.
The Queen of the Western Dynasty, the tenth most beautiful woman, Lin Yuan.
The Western Emperor Wu Zheng was a romantic man and had countless beauties in his harem, but the total of these three thousand beauties could not compare to the peerless elegance of Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan is still the number one master in the Western Dynasty, and it is said that he has already advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage.
But she had a gentle temperament, was graceful, and never became jealous in the harem. This allowed the West Palace to remain stable for decades.
That's why there is a saying on the beauty list: "Three Thousand Western Queens in the Harem".
Of course, Fang Xue had also heard of the name of Queen West. When she saw her, she suddenly felt that number ten on the beauty list was really low.
Lin Yuan slowly walked up to her, with a kind smile and a soft voice:
"Fellow Daoist Fang, Guard Liu used to be my eldest prince's personal bodyguard. He was not around when the eldest prince was assassinated, so he was eager to catch the murderer. Please forgive me."
Fang Xue did not expect that the famous Queen West would be so polite. She quickly bowed and saluted:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you don't have to be polite. I really don't know where Si Minglan went."
Lin Yuan smiled: "I understand, I'm bothering you today."
After saying that, he nodded towards Fang Xue and left with the Golden Snake Guard.
Looking at her dignified and elegant back, Fang Xue couldn't help but sigh: "Queen West, so beautiful."
"Queen, this Fang Xue must have a deep connection with Si Minglan, and we will definitely be able to find clues from her."
Liu Shi followed Lin Yuan, still a little unwilling.
Lin Yuan's voice was still soft: "Si Minglan has been found."
Liu Shi was startled and asked quickly: "Where is she?"
Lin Yuan said calmly: "When we arrived at Feiyun City, Si Mingcheng was already waiting for her."
"Si Mingcheng?" Liu Shi felt relieved when he heard the name:
"It was Si Mingcheng who turned his back on secrets and exposed the Zhenguo General's Mansion's crimes of colluding with foreign enemies. It was also he who suggested that Si Minglan be thrown into the Jiaofang Division. Now it would be appropriate for him to go after Si Minglan."
Lin Yuan glanced sideways at him. Cold sweat broke out on Liu Shi's forehead. He quickly bowed and said:
"I made a mistake."
Lin Yuan looked at the sky, and the sunlight shone on her dignified and bright face.
"The eldest prince's behavior was unjustified, but his crime is not worthy of death. Those who kill him should pay with their lives."
Feiyun City.
"Wow, it's so lively!"
"There are fairies flying everywhere!"
"Sister Si, look, that mountain is so big, bigger than our Yunzhu Mountain!"
The three children, Yun Xing, Yun Yan and Yun Yu, were looking around excitedly. Si Minglan pointed to the towering mountains in the distance and said:
"That's Feiyun Mountain. If everything goes well, you will soon be practicing there."
Like Zhenyang Sect, Feiyun Sect also has a huge city with the same name.
However, the Feiyun Sect's skills are different from those of the Zhenyang Sect. They are better at flying to the sky and escaping from the earth, so Feiyun City is full of monks flying around.
A man in Tsing Yi appeared in front and raised his hand to Si Minglan:
"Senior Sister Si, I am Zheng Mulin, a deacon disciple of Feiyun Sect."
Si Minglan also handed over to him: "Junior brother Zheng, long time no see."
Zheng Mulin smiled, with a sad look on his face: "Yes, the last time I saw Senior Sister was when Senior Sister Yin and I went to Beihuang together."
The "Senior Sister Yin" he spoke of was the female spirit corpse next to Mo Sha.
The female corpse was killed by Qin Gengyun and others. Before she died, she handed a jade pendant to Si Minglan, which was a token of love between her and her junior brother.
And this junior brother is Zheng Mulin.
Si Minglan had already sent a letter to Zheng Mulin on the way, telling him that he had found Yin Qiaoqin's relics.
Seeing his sad expression at this time, Si Minglan took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Zheng Mulin:
"Junior Brother Zheng, my condolences."
Zheng Mulin took the jade pendant, his eyes suddenly turned red, and his voice trembled: "Thank you, Senior Sister Si!"
Then he said gratefully: "I have a house in Feiyun Sect. I have set up a banquet and asked Senior Sister Si to move over. I will take three children to meet the Master tomorrow."
Si Minglan nodded: "Thank you very much."
"plz follow me."
Zheng Mulin led the way, and Si Minglan suddenly squeezed Yunxing's hand. Yunxing understood, and immediately pointed to a candied haws seller in the distance and shouted:
"Sister Si, I want to eat candied haws!"
Yun Yan and Yun Yu were startled, and then shouted: "Sister Si, I want to eat candied haws too!"
Si Minglan said apologetically to Zheng Mulin: "These children are greedy. Junior Brother Zheng, wait a moment while I take them to buy candied haws."
Zheng Mulin smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll wait for you here."
Si Minglan and her three children walked to the vendor selling candied haws, and Yun Xing suddenly said:
"Sister Si, why do you want me to lie?"
