After drinking and eating, Yang Xiangwan respectfully sent everyone outside the city. During this period, Mu Jingyu didn't mention Shujian Villa again, and Yang Xiangwan was too sensible to ask any more questions.
He knew that his identity was just a small altar master stationed in Wangxian Tower in Yonglan City. Some things are better known less.
After bidding farewell to Yang Xiangwan, Mu Jingyu and others walked slowly towards Yuping Mountain. They didn't speed up their pace until there was no one else around.
However, what everyone didn't know was that since they left Shujian Villa and were welcomed all the way to the restaurant by Yang Xiangwan, Han Songqing's disciples of the Han family had been following quietly behind them.
It's just that Han Songqing was too cunning and divided his men into more than ten teams, with each team having as few as one or two people and as many as three or five people. After each team only followed Mu Jingyu and the others for dozens of miles, they were immediately replaced by another team to follow.
Moreover, during this period, they continued to use human skin and cotton tools to change their appearance. In addition, the journey from Shujian Villa to Yonglan City was only two to three thousand miles. Mu Jingyu and others traveled very fast, and arrived at Yonglan City in just three days. If you are nearby, you will naturally not notice it.
This group of Han family disciples watched helplessly as Mu Jingyu and others left the city and headed straight for the Sword Forging Valley in Yuping Mountain. They originally wanted to follow behind them quietly. However, Han Songqing was still waiting in a restaurant across the street from Wangxian Tower. Naturally, the two Han family disciples did not dare to follow Han Songqing without Han Songqing's order, so they had to pass Yang Xiangwan and start first. One step back to the restaurant where Han Songqing was.
"Are you sure that Mu Jingyu and others have returned to the Sword Forging Valley?" Although he received the affirmation from his disciples, Han Songqing couldn't help but confirm.
"Reporting to the old family master, we did see Mu Jingyu and his party heading towards Yuping Mountain. As for whether they returned to the Sword Forging Valley or turned somewhere else halfway... we are not sure..."
The two Han family disciples who originally spoke with certainty felt guilty immediately after being glared at by Han Songqing.
Another person said: "Old Patriarch, I guess Mu Jingyu and the others have not gone very far at this moment. Do you want us to follow them and have a look?"
"Forget it." Han Songqing shook his hand and said: "The last order of the two immortals is just for me to monitor them returning to Yuping Mountain. Anyway, the task has been accomplished, we don't need to worry about it anymore."
"Huh..." The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them asked: "Old Patriarch, now that the task has been completed, can we leave Yonglan City? Or should we continue to stay here and monitor Mu Jingyu and the others?"
"Hmm..." Han Songqing pushed open a corner of the window next to him and watched Yang Xiangwan coming out of Wangxian Tower. He was about to decide to follow him to see what was going on when he saw a familiar figure standing next to a Han. Under the guidance of his disciples, he hurriedly entered the restaurant.
"Hu Ben? Why is he here?" Han Songqing groaned and said, "You guys go out first."
"Yes." The two Han family disciples bowed in response. As soon as they closed the door, they saw a fierce man with scars on his face walking up quickly under the guidance of another Han family disciple.
Just a casual glance made the two of them feel frightened. They immediately stepped aside to make way, and watched helplessly as the man pushed open the door they had just closed and walked into the private room.
"Hu Ben, why did you suddenly find me here if you didn't stay in Lei Gong Castle as a spy to find out the news?" Although Han Songqing complained, he still pulled out the chair next to him and pointed to Huben to sit down and talk.
"Thank you very much, Patriarch." Even though Hu Ben looked ferocious, in front of Han Songqing, he was like a kitten and didn't dare to make any mistakes. He sat on the edge of the chair with his butt slanted and said, "This time, I took the risk to meet the Patriarch. , I have something important to report."
Han Songqing personally poured tea for Hu Ben and said: "But the six sects, together with the three fairies Taier Zhenren, Nangong Jingqiu and Chi Mei, united to surround Wujixu, but they didn't get the answer they wanted?"
Huben bowed slightly and said: "That's right! Old Patriarch, the two immortals ordered us to use Master Tongxuan to send Yun Mo to steal Mu Jingyu's Jiu Yao Xuan Light Chain, pretending to be their two factions and massacre Shujian The villa is full. But after all, it is the disciples lurking in Wujixu and Yun family who have shallow cultivation, and they have discovered the flaw."
"Drink tea first." Han Songqing pointed to the tea cup, and then said: "I have expected this result. However, the two immortals only said that they would frame us, and they didn't seem to care whether they could succeed. Maybe. ...Maybe they have other plans. Now, although we are attached to the two men in black, it does not mean that my Han family has to surrender wholeheartedly. Anyway, the matter is done, and the two immortals have not yet arrived. Why do you care if they believe the next instructions? It's better to be clean."
Ever since Han Songqing led his disciples to evacuate from Shujian Villa, the four men in black who had been following him disappeared except for leaving an order for him to continue monitoring Mu Jingyu's movements.
As for the two old men in black, they disappeared long after Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun followed Qin Yunchuan and others from Xihan Yuanzhou. According to Han Songqing's previous guess, the two must be figures in a certain sect, and their status is not low. You shouldn't be able to leave the sect for a long time, lest someone notice you.
Huben took the fragrant tea from Han Songqing and drank it all in one gulp. He then gently placed the teacup on the table and said, "My master misunderstood. The reason why my subordinates came to meet each other this time is not because of each other." Pi did not fall into the trap.”
"Oh?" Han Songqing suddenly became interested. While filling Huben's cup of tea again, he asked curiously: "You are in Leigong Castle, but have you heard other rumors?"
"Exactly." Huben said: "Because my subordinate disguised himself as Yin Fenghua, and because he was the highest-ranking person in Lei Gongbao who led the team to Shujian Villa, he was able to hear about the Six Sects and Tai Er. Some important things to discuss with others!”
"Tell me about it." Seeing Huben's solemn face, Han Songqing knew that what he was about to say should be related to himself and the Han family, so he also said seriously.
"..." Huben was silent for a moment. Obviously, the next words were very important. Finally, after Han Songqing nodded slightly, he said: "Actually... In fact, the Six Sects and Taier and others not only saw that Wujixu and the Yun family were not massacre Shujian The mastermind behind all the people in the villa also guessed that our Han family was behind all of this!"
As soon as Huben finished speaking, Han Songqing's face suddenly became serious and he asked: "But during the massacre at Shujian Villa, did any disciples reveal any flaws that would let them see the clues?"
"No." Huben shook his head and said: "As early as at the Tianjue Peak of Jiuhua Mountain, when the family head and the Jiuli tribe planned to surround and kill the righteous factions, many spies placed in each faction showed up. It is precisely because of this At one point, Master Taier realized that there are still many disciples from the clan hiding in various factions, and thus concluded that we are the real culprits who massacred the whole family of Shujian Villa..."
"What a master Taier!" Han Songqing stood up and said angrily: "I have calculated everything, but I have missed this point!"
After getting angry, Han Songqing calmed down and asked: "What about the other factions? Do they all believe Master Taier's inference?"
"There are believers, and there are also disbelievers." Huben replied: "I wanted to use those unbelievers to find reasons to refute Master Taier's inference, but I was worried that saying too much would attract Master Taier's attention. …”
"What you said is indeed a bit much." Han Songqing said in a deep voice: "When you followed the various factions to surround Wujixu, they were not completely sure. They believed that the Tongxuan faction had destroyed Shujian Villa, and you were the only one who rushed there. You have to go into the void to check. If Tai Er and others come back to their senses, won’t your identity be revealed in a short time?”
"Hiss~" Hu Ben trembled in fright, secretly thinking that Han Songqing had many disciples among those people and knew his every move like the back of his hand! But now that I think about it, I really can’t tell who is a disciple of the Han family.
"What the old master taught me is that my subordinates know they are wrong."
"Forget it, you have good intentions, so I won't pursue it." Han Songqing waved his hand, then stood by the window, seemingly watching the street scene, but in fact he was thinking quickly in his mind.
Master Taier's Tianji Pavilion is spread all over Jiuzhou, and he has an unknown number of disciples, and they are also closely related to Jin Buhuan. The two parties, one in the open and the other in the dark, want to find out some information, but no one can guarantee that they will not be noticed.
Since Master Taier has realized that he was behind this matter, the reason why he sent Meng Pingwei and Yang Xiangwan to stop Mu Jingyu in Yonglan City was because he wanted to hear his opinion.
After more than half a year of training, Mu Jingyu's cultivation and experience are no longer comparable to that of the young man who came out of the valley just now. What Master Taier can understand with just a moment's thought, he, Mu Jingyu, has experienced it himself, how can he not understand it? I'm afraid I already knew it in my heart.
After Meng Pingwei and Mu Jingyu met this time, they must know the exact answer from his mouth. As long as they go back and report to Master Taier, it won't take long for the other factions to know!
Thinking of this, a trace of panic flashed in Han Songqing's eyes. He originally thought that his work was perfect, but there was still a gap in the secrets. He had forgotten that the spies of the Han family had long been known by various factions.
Originally, due to the emergence of immortal treasures, all the forces could not bother to settle accounts with the Han family for the time being. However, because he followed the orders of two men in black, he destroyed Shujian Villa and attracted the attention of various factions.
If they ignore the fairy treasure for the time being and cause trouble to their Han family first...
Thinking of this, Han Songqing suddenly felt relaxed and said to himself: "Oh my god, how could I forget! Those two men in black must be high-ranking people in a big sect. Since they asked me to take action, they will definitely not Watching my Han family being targeted by various forces! Unless...unless I make a mistake in my judgment, they are not members of each faction! However, this possibility is extremely slim."
Although he thought that the two men in black would secretly help each other, Han Songqing still did not dare to take it lightly. I can only pray that my judgment will be correct.
Temporarily putting aside the worries in his heart, Han Songqing put away his sad face and said to Huben: "Okay, I know everything you said. Go back now and don't let anyone notice your disappearance. At the same time, pay close attention to Master Taier. Over there, if there is any trouble, report it to me immediately."
"My subordinate understands." Huben also knew that he could not stay long, so he left the restaurant quickly after bidding farewell to Han Songqing.
However, before he could open the door, the disciples of the Han family who were originally guarding outside bumped into him.
Seeing this man's humble apology, Huben waved his hand magnanimously and walked downstairs, only to find three people wearing bamboo hats and robes covering their bodies, following behind the disciples of the Han family. Walked towards the elegant room where Han Songqing was.
Huben originally wanted to go back and take a look again, but happened to see through the half-open door that Han Songqing's expression changed drastically after seeing the three people. First he looked incredulous, then he tried hard to control his smile. At the same time, he waved his hands to signal him to leave quickly.
Huben nodded slightly, and when he passed by the three of them, the corners of his eyes curled up unconsciously. I just felt that the person in front of me seemed familiar, vaguely seen somewhere. The two people following closely behind them held their hats so low that their faces could not be seen clearly.
However, Huben felt a different aura from them. It seemed... it seemed... Huben suddenly thought of a possibility and looked back in disbelief. The three people had already entered the private room where Han Songqing was. The door was closed by a disciple of the Han family from the outside, and they couldn't see clearly at all.
"If... if it is really them... Haha, God will not destroy my Han family, God will not destroy my Han family..." Hu Ben chuckled twice, and his steps suddenly became lighter.
At the same time, Han Songqing laughed and hugged the person in the middle with his arms, and also said the words "God will not perish my Han family!"
Some people died, but not completely...
