At the beginning, Master Tianyang was just a little suspicious of Master Yuanyang. Even if his grandson Tian Lianxi and eldest disciple Bai Yizhou were won over by the Han family, Master Tianyang still believed that Master Yuanyang must have been kept in the dark and had no idea.
The reason is also very simple. It has been more than fifty years since the two brothers first entered Jiuhua Mountain. Although Master Yuanyang is said to be withdrawn, he does not want to talk to others. However, Master Tianyang would never believe that he would be tempted by Han Yao to betray the Jiuhua Sect.
Mu Jingyu said: "Grandpa Master, things in the world are unpredictable and people's hearts are unpredictable. Maybe... Master Yuanyang's uncle will hate the Jiuhua sect because of some trivial things that you don't know about, and then betray the sect?"
Because in the past six months, Mu Jingyu had seen such things happen frequently. Therefore, there is this speculation.
Unexpectedly, what he said casually to comfort Tianyang made the latter's eyes darken slightly, and he remembered an old incident from twenty or thirty years ago.
It turns out that Master Yuanyang was too modest and low-key when he was young, and was not favored by the previous head of the Jiuhua Sect, who made him the leader of Jin Yuanfeng. It was his master who insisted on passing the first position to him, despite all opinions, and had a big quarrel with the leader over this. In the end, not only did he fail to win the first position for Master Yuanyang, but he was so angry that he felt depressed and vomited blood! Shortly after returning to Jinyuan Peak, he died due to depression in his heart!
Seeing his junior brother die because of this matter, the head of the Jiuhua Sect also regretted it. Afterwards, not only was Tianyang Zhenren's master given a grand burial, but he also changed his past attitude and made him the leader of Jin Yuan Peak.
Although more than twenty years have passed since this incident, the previous generation of Jiuhua Sect leader has passed away long ago. Moreover, Master Yuanyang has never shown any dissatisfaction or resentment since he took over Jin Yuanfeng.
If... if Zhenren Yuanyang still holds a grudge against this matter and is secretly attracted by the Han family, it is very possible.
Thinking of this old incident, Master Tianyang unconsciously nodded slightly and said: "Jingyu, maybe... what you said is possible."
"Grandpa Master, Grandpa Yuanyang, he is really..."
Mu Jingyu didn't expect that what he said casually would actually make him guess right. I was just about to continue asking why Master Yuanyang hated the Jiuhua Sect, but Master Tianyang obviously didn't want to talk any more.
"You two juniors don't need to know these old things." Master Tianyang said casually.
Mu Jingyu had no choice but to change the subject and asked: "Grandpa Master, what are you planning to do next?"
Master Tianyang did not answer, but asked with a smile: "Jingyu, what do you think we should do?"
Mu Jingyu knew that Master Tianyang was taking this opportunity to question him. After thinking for a while, he replied: "I think that regardless of whether the people on this list are really attracted by the Han family, the heads of each sect should be notified first. Let them investigate within their respective sects to see if these people Is there anything suspicious?"
After Mu Jingyu finished speaking, he saw Master Tianyang nodding secretly: "Jingyu, you are right. It seems that you have really grown a lot in the past six months."
Mu Jingyu said quickly: "Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa Master."
"Okay, it's getting late. You two have been running around for several days, so you must be tired by now. Master, I won't disturb you and continue to rest." Master Tianyang finished speaking and was about to get up and leave.
Qin Yunchuan grabbed the list on the table and said, "Grandpa, won't you take this list with you?"
Master Tianyang said: "Yunchuan, although Grandpa Shizu is old, the names of more than twenty people have been engraved in my mind for a long time. I'll leave this list to you. But remember, don’t make any mistake or let others see it.”
Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan said in unison: "Grandpa, don't worry, we will definitely keep this list."
Tianyang Zhenren, who had just stepped out, suddenly turned around and said: "Oh, by the way, Yunchuan, I will find a chance to pass by here tomorrow. Then you can lie down in the cave entrance and shout loudly, and I will come over after hearing it. . As long as you sincerely admit your mistake, I can use an excuse to release you."
"Disciple, remember." Qin Yunchuan bowed and replied.
"As for you..." Master Tianyang pointed at Mu Jingyu and said, "I can't let you out just yet, lest the Emei Sect will complain if they find out. Jingyu, you won't blame Grandpa Grandpa, right?"
Mu Jingyu said: "Jingyu knows Grandpa Shizu's difficulties and will not complain at all."
"Since you understand, that's good, that's good." Master Tianyang nodded and walked away from Reflection Cliff. Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan felt their eyes blurred. When they opened their eyes again, there was no trace of Master Tianyang anywhere.
At the same time, in Han Yao's room at Jin Yuanfeng, Han Yao, Zhao Zhengming, and Shi Jiang were sitting around the table, with the luminous pearl still placed on it. Han Lin stood aside with his hands behind his hands, while Yi Hong stood aside slightly nervously, not daring to be as casual as Han Yao and others.
Han Yao moved the chair next to him, pointed at Yi Hong and said, "Yi Hong, you have been with me for more than ten years, there is no need to be so reserved."
"I obey," Yi Hong responded and sat down on the chair. But he didn't dare to think that like Shi Jiang and Zhao Zhengming, they were just sitting on half a chair.
After taking the teacup handed over by Han Yao, Yi Hong took a sip and put it on the table. Then he took out the bamboo slip from his arms, handed it to Han Yao with both hands and said, "Young Master, the master of the family ordered me to bring this bamboo slip back at Xingye and hand it to the young master myself."
It turned out that after Yihong woke up, he saw that the bamboo slips were safe and sound. He secretly said that he was lucky and did not dare to delay any more, in case there would be another accident on the way. At that moment, he stopped even riding the red flame horse and hurried forward with his sword in hand. Finally, he arrived at the outside of Jiuhua Mountain at dawn.
Han Lin, who had been ordered to stay here for a long time, immediately took him to Jiuhua Mountain. For a whole day, Yi Hong did not dare to look for Han Yao because of the gathering of heroes and hundreds of factions in Jiuhua Mountain at this moment. He just entrusted Han Lin to pass on the news of his return to him.
Finally, it was not until midnight that Han Lin, led by Han Lin, arrived at Han Yao's residence and handed the bamboo slips into his hands.
Han Yao looked at the bamboo slips in his hand and asked, "Yi Hong, did anything unexpected happen to you on the way to bring the bamboo slips?"
Although Yi Hong looked calm, he just kept looking at Han Yao. Of course, he was afraid that the bamboo slip would be lost after he was blocked and robbed by six robbers yesterday. But when he thought about it, he had already looked at it in time and found that the animal skin wrapped on the outside of the bamboo slips was still intact. Even when he heard Han Yao's inquiry at this moment, he still pretended to be calm.
He was not worried about being punished by Han Yao for this matter. After all, it is normal for accidents to happen on the road, and this bamboo slip is foolproof. However, Yi Hong was left aside by Han Yao for several years and finally gave him an important task. If Han Yao knew that he had been transported into the hands of several robbers, he would not only lose face, but also worry that Han Yao would no longer value him.
Therefore, without much thought, Yi Hong patted his chest and assured: "Young master, don't worry, my subordinates have been careful along the way since they left the Ice City, and there have been no accidents."
"Is it true? Yi Hong, how about you think about it again? If you really can't remember it, I don't mind helping you recall it." Han Yao played with the bamboo slips in his hand and was not in a hurry to open it and check it. Instead, he stared at Yi Hong with a somewhat inexplicable smile.
"Subordinate...Subordinate really..." At this moment, Yi Hong was panting in his heart, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his back. Despite Han Yao's young age, he often puts on a gentle appearance. In fact, he is cruel and ruthless, and often uses various horrific methods to torture his subordinates who dare to deceive him. Although Yi Hong was scared, he had already said what he just said, so he could only continue to hold on.
Zhao Zhengming, who was sitting aside, suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Yi Hong's shoulder and said: "Yi Hong, you have been with Mr. Han for more than ten years, and you know that he hates his subordinates lying to him the most. Of course, I know that too. You must be careful and don't dare to make any mistakes along the way. But, after all, it is thousands of miles from Ice City to here. Is it true that there is not even the slightest abnormality along the way? "
"Young Master Zhao, this subordinate is on his way back..." Yi Hong wanted to hold on and said nothing, but when Han Yao's cold gaze swept over him, he swallowed the words on his lips and pretended to suddenly remember it. : "By the way, I almost forgot. On the way back, my subordinates were stopped by six robbers. Although I resisted with all my strength, they still knocked me unconscious due to the large number of people. However, Mr. Lord, please don’t worry. They just took away the money and didn’t find the bamboo slips I hid in the riding crop.”
After Yi Hong finished speaking in one breath, he saw that Yi Hong's eyes had softened significantly, and he secretly touched the beads of sweat with the corner of his clothes.
"Let me tell you, you will definitely not be safe on your way back. What do you think? I guessed it." Han Yao said, holding the bamboo slip in his hand, and suddenly secretly used his true energy to move the bamboo slip The list inside was shattered into powder.
When Yi Hong saw this, he thought it was because of this incident that aroused Han Yao's suspicion, so he suddenly destroyed the bamboo slips he had worked so hard to get back. Frightened, he stood up from the chair and kept repeating: "Young Master, there is nothing wrong with this bamboo slip. I will guarantee it with my life. There is really nothing wrong with it..."
Han Yao clapped his hands and smiled: "Yi Hong, if there is really no problem with this bamboo slip, then it will be a big problem."
Yi Hong was confused by Han Yao's words and asked in confusion: "Young Master, what do you mean... I don't understand."
Shi Jiang pulled Yi Hong to sit on the chair again and explained: "This time, Major General Han sent you back to Ice City, not to ask you to bring back the bamboo slips. The real purpose is to use you as bait to take the wooden slips." Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan fished them out."
"Ah! Mr. Shi, what do you mean? Didn't Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan secretly sneak into the Netherworld Ghost State to rescue Zhou Yan and the others? How could I be used as bait to lure them out? The more I listen, the more confused I become."
After Han Yao explained his plan, he finally said: "Fortunately, you were blocked by robbers pretending to be Mu Jingyu and others on the way, and took the opportunity to take away the list in the bamboo slips. Otherwise, I would have spent more money There are some means to personally deliver the list to him."
After listening to Han Yaofei's explanation, Yi Hong finally understood that the six robbers were impersonated by Mu Jingyu and others. While angry, he was also a little embarrassed. After all, at that time, he was forced by Mu Jingyu to take off all his clothes and was almost naked. Moreover, Zhou Yan, Su Yingying, and Shen Mengdie are still nearby!
Thinking of being humiliated by several people, Yi Hong suddenly became furious and wished he could go find Mu Jingyu and others to settle the score right now. He just knew that Han Yao would never allow him to sit like this, so he had to suppress the hatred in his heart for the time being.
Zhao Zhengming said: "Master Han, even if we can be sure that the six robbers are pretended to be Mu Jingyu and the others, how can we be sure that he must have got the list in the bamboo slips? I just took a look at the bamboo slips. It’s still intact.”
Han Yao said confidently: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, if Mu Jingyu doesn't find a way to get the list in the bamboo slips, then I underestimated him! And...according to the characters of the six of them, they will never get the list again." When you are on the list, can you leave easily?"
"I hope your judgment is right." Zhao Zhengming said: "Right now, we have not found any trace of Mu Jingyu and others returning to the mountain. We don't know how the investigation by Tian Lianxi and Yuan Fang is going."
