Han Xing led the way and led Yi Hong to the depths of Chongzhong Manor. Along the way, people dressed as servants came in and out of these manor from time to time. When they saw Han Xing, they all nodded slightly and let the two of them arrive at a deep mansion compound located in the deepest part.
With a soft creak, Han Xing pushed open the heavy courtyard door. After Yi Hong stepped in, he felt a faint fragrance of vegetation coming to his nostrils, and he immediately felt refreshed.
Looking up, I saw a simple wooden house in the middle of the courtyard. After the two of them all stepped into the courtyard, the door closed silently.
"Yi Hong, the master of the house is inside, follow me in quickly."
"I obey." Yi Hong did not dare to hesitate and immediately followed Han Xing into the wooden house.
Mu Jingyu, wearing Yumo Qingfeng, quietly followed behind the two of them. Along the way, I saw many Han family disciples who looked ordinary but possessed great cultivation skills, protecting this large deep compound. If he had not followed Qin Yunchuan's suggestion just now and came in rashly, he would definitely be discovered.
After watching the courtyard door in front of him close, Mu Jingyu looked around and found that there was no Han family disciple patrolling around the courtyard. Immediately, he stepped lightly and walked in through the courtyard wall. As soon as they landed in the courtyard, they saw Han Xing and Yi Hong walking into the house.
Mu Jingyu glanced at the wooden house and found that there were no windows in the entire house and only a wooden door stood in front of him. It seems that if you want to eavesdrop, you can only go to the roof.
But when he jumped up to the wooden house, he discovered that although the entire roof was paved with planks, each plank was so tightly spaced that not even a ray of sunlight could pass through, let alone find a gap. , take a look at the situation inside.
Just when Mu Jingyu was secretly worried, he saw a glimmer of light flashing between two wooden boards directly behind the roof. Mu Jingyu thought and walked over immediately.
I don’t know whether it was due to the passage of time that cracks appeared between the two planks, or whether the two planks were not spliced together tightly when the roof was built. Anyway, a gap appeared here, just enough for Mu Jingyu to eavesdrop.
After leaning down, Mu Jingyu looked inside along the gap and saw that the inside of the wooden house was not big, and Han Wenyuan was sitting upright on the wooden chair in the middle. When he saw Yi Hong come in, he immediately showed a kind smile: "Yi Hong, I have been busy with things during this period, and I have neglected you a little. I believe you won't blame me, the head of the family."
Different from that in the turret, Han Wenyuan's face at this time was kind and his eyes were slightly shining. Is there any trace of stupidity?
When Yi Hong heard what his master said, he was immediately flattered. He bowed to the ground in fear and said, "The master said this to hurt his subordinates."
"It's good if it's not, it's good if it's not." After Han Wenyuan laughed twice, he turned to look at Han Xing standing aside and nodded to him.
Han Xing understood what the head of the family meant. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the gap they had left deliberately. When he saw that the area where there was still some light was now completely blocked, he realized that Mu Jingyu had arrived and was lying on the roof to peek. Then he pressed his palm slightly, signaling Han Wenyuan that the fish had taken the bait and that he could proceed with the next plan.
After seeing Han Xing's gesture, Han Wenyuan said: "Yi Hong, I remember that when you were eight or nine years old, you followed Yao'er and became a disciple of the Jiuhua Sect. Counting the days, it must have been more than nine years. .”
Yi Hong was stunned, but he didn't expect that the head of the family did not rush to explain things to him, but instead brought up old things from his youth. Although I didn't know what his intention was, he still said honestly: "I followed the Young City Master to join the Jiuhua Sect in the spring. In a few months, it will be ten years."
"Unknowingly, ten years have passed." Han Wenyuan said with emotion: "I wonder how Yao'er has treated you over the years?"
Yi Hong quickly and respectfully replied: "Young City Master treats his subordinates with great kindness. He not only brings my whole family, old and young, into the worship hall, allowing them to enjoy all the glory and wealth. He also regards me as his confidant, but these years..." Yi Hong Hong quickly shut up when he said this, not daring to say another word.
Speaking of which, since Han Yao accepted Yi Hong as his confidant, he has only asked him to do two things. But after he helped Han Yao and put the poison into the pill that Guo Qingshan gave to Mu Jingyu, which caused him to become ferocious during the assessment, he never received Han Yao's attention. Even some ordinary tasks were not handed over to myself.
Over the years, Yi Hong thought that Han Yao would no longer use him in an important role, and he had been worried about this. He was afraid that he would lose Han Yao's trust, which would affect his family's food and clothing expenses in the worship hall.
However, what temporarily reassured him was that, judging from the news he received, his family had not been implicated. Not only was his daily life not affected, several of his younger brothers and sisters were also admitted to the Han family and taught some low-level skills.
Despite this, Yi Hong did not dare to let down his guard. It just so happened that I met the head of the family, Han Wenyuan, today. On the one hand, I had to show my loyalty, and on the other hand, I had to say it consciously or unconsciously, so as to attract Han Wenyuan's attention.
Sure enough, when Han Wenyuan heard Yi Hong's somewhat complaining words, he laughed a few times and said, "Yi Hong, Yi Hong, you are wrong to blame Yao'er."
"How dare I wrongly blame the Young City Master! I just asked the master to punish me for speaking quickly!" Yi Hong couldn't understand what Han Wenyuan meant in his laughter. He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head. stand up.
"Okay, okay, I don't mean to blame you." Han Wenyuan said: "The reason why Yao'er didn't reuse you is because he wanted you to hide deep in the Jiuhua Sect and not be exposed. Wait until the most critical moment , and let you complete the most important task that cannot be missed!"
The most important task that cannot be missed? Yi Hong raised his head and couldn't believe his ears: "Master, what you said...is true?"
"Of course it's true." Han Xing next to him helped Yi Hong up again, patted his shoulder and said, "You must also know that the Jiuli tribe and our plan have reached the most critical moment. And The reason why the Young City Lord is sending you back to Ice City at this time is because there is one most important task that needs you to complete!"
"Yes, only you can complete this task!" Han Wenyuan continued: "I'm afraid what you don't know is that Mu Jingyu has suspected that the man in black robe is the Jiuli tribe in disguise. More importantly, he doesn't know From there, I saw the flaw and discovered that Yao'er was the mastermind behind the frame-up. Then I followed the clues and found evidence that we colluded with the Jiuli tribe!"
"Moreover, he must have told Master Tianyang about this. That's why after Zhou Yan and others returned to the mountain, Master Tianyang used seclusion as an excuse to cover up their whereabouts, and was secretly sent to Netherworld Ghost State to investigate News.”
"Just a few days ago, Yao'er sent back news that Qin Yunchuan and Mu Jingyu suddenly wanted to escape from Reflection Cliff, but Master Tianyang took the opportunity to imprison them again, and no one was allowed to guard them. If we My estimate is good, Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan must have gone to Netherworld Ghost State to look for Zhou Yan and the others!"
"Ah!" Yi Hong opened his mouth in surprise when he heard this. It took him a long time to recover, and murmured: "I once heard Senior Brother Yuan Fang Yuan say that Mu Jingyu has been imprisoned at Reflection Cliff. An'an never made any trouble. But not long after Qin Yunchuan came back, he was suddenly pulled by him to rush out of Reflection Cliff. It turns out that there are other reasons."
Han Wenyuan nodded and said: "That's why Yao'er took advantage of the scheme and decided to use secret agents among the various factions to stir up the relationship between the Jiuhua Sect and the Emei Sect during the Dao Discussion Conference, and let Master Tianyang handle it. Mu Jingyu. Take advantage of the situation to incite hatred among the various factions, and first let them stir up chaos. Then, the high priest and the holy aunt will lead the sons of the Jiuli tribes to wipe out the entire righteous path in one fell swoop!"
After Yi Hong pondered for a while, he asked doubtfully: "Master, I wonder what you want me to do after you tell all your plans to your subordinates?"
"Where did I tell you? I meant to tell Mu Jingyu on the roof!" Han Wenyuan sneered in his heart, but said seriously: "The reason why I tell you this is to let you know that I will give it to Your mission is related to the success or failure of all plans!"
"Ah!" Yi Hong exclaimed, not expecting that Han Wenyuan would suddenly say such serious words.
"You don't have to doubt that the master of the family wants to entrust you with such an important task!" Han Xing, who was standing aside, patted Yi Hong on the shoulder and said, "You just complained that the master didn't reuse you, but we know his real intention is Don’t you want to attract attention? It’s precisely because of this that you are asked to follow Bai Yizhou back to Ice City at this time. As for the purpose, of course it is to bring the most important thing back to Jiuhua Mountain and hand it over to you personally Young City Lord."
"The most important thing!" Yi Hong was shocked, and felt unprecedented trust from Han Xing's eyes.
Han Wenyuan had already held a bamboo slip in his palm, and then a spiritual energy rose from his palm, and the bamboo slip slowly floated to Yi Hong's eyes.
"In this bamboo slip, there are the insiders of various factions that our Han family has attracted, as well as the list of all the Han family disciples hidden in it. I will give it to you now. You must take it back to Jiuhua Mountain and hand it over in person within five days. In the hands of Yao Yao! I wonder if you, Yi Hong, can bear this heavy responsibility!"
After looking down at the bamboo slip suspended in his palm, Yi Hong's eyes gradually became tougher. After nodding heavily, he held the bamboo slip with both hands at the same time: "Yi Hong will definitely live up to the expectations of the family master. Even if he risks his life, I will deliver this bamboo slip to the young city lord!"
"With your words, I feel relieved." Han Wenyuan said, "But, I want you to deliver the bamboo slips to Yao'er with your own hands. If you lose your life, wouldn't you have betrayed my trust? !"
Although Han Wenyuan said that he wanted Yihong to deliver the bamboo slips to Han Yao smoothly, in fact, he wanted him to save his own life. Why couldn't Yihong hear the concern in it?
"Thank you, Master, for your concern!" Yi Hong knelt down again and thanked Han Wenyuan for his concern.
Han Wenyuan said: "Okay, it's getting late. You'd better set off back to Jiuhua Mountain as soon as possible, but you must not miss the main business."
"I obey." After Yi Hong stood up, he did not move, but looked at Han Xing. It was the one who brought him here just now, and now he should be the one to take him out.
Who knows, Han Wenyuan waved his hand and said: "I still have some things that I need to discuss with Commander Han. You should know the way out, so I won't bother Commander Han to see you off."
"Understood." Yi Hong responded and walked out of the room alone.
Mu Jingyu, who was hiding on the roof, saw that Yi Hong had left, although he was curious about what Han Wenyuan had to say if he wanted to keep Han Xing. Just a second thought, and I was worried that Yi Hong would leave somewhere else. If he disappears because of this, it will not be easy to find traces of him.
Moreover, he already knew their exact plan from Han Wenyuan. What's more important is that the bamboo slip contains the list of all the spies they want to get! After weighing the pros and cons, Mu Jingyu didn't stop any longer and flew behind Yi Hong who was walking out of the door.
It wasn't until light came out of the crack again that Han Xing whispered: "Master, he has left. Do you need me to follow him and take a look?"
Han Wenyuan smiled slyly and said: "No matter who is following you, if you can avoid being discovered, you must have a high level of cultivation or possess an immortal treasure. With your cultivation level, let alone following you, thank God if you can avoid being discovered." Sigh."
Han Xing said: "Then let's just forget it? What if they didn't follow Yi Hong..."
Han Wenyuan said confidently: "Don't worry, the old man and Gu Li must be guarding outside. They will not let Mu Jingyu and others escape. We don't have to worry about the rest."
"The master of the house is far-sighted and his subordinates are ashamed of themselves." Han Xing flattered him a little, which made Han Wenyuan burst into laughter.
"It's getting late, we should go back and prepare some things, and set off to Jiuhua Sect to attend the Taoism Conference held every five years." After Han Wenyuan finished speaking, he put away his shrewd look and showed a bit of stupidity again. With a look like that, he took Han Xing away from here.
