When Gu Xiao woke up again, he found that he had returned to the Muxia Courtyard in Hejiabao at the foot of the mountain, and he was in the same room before the Hejia Arena started that day.
The sunlight filtered through the window lattice and reflected on his face, as if the battle of life and death last night was still before his eyes. It all seemed like a dream. He shook his heavy head. This was the first time that Gu Xiao woke up without warning since he traveled down the mountain.
"It turns out that the Grandmaster realm is so terrifying..." Muttering to himself, Gu Xiao suddenly thought of everything in the mountains behind the He family. He was startled and quickly looked around the room, seeing his Moon-breaking Sword Box sitting quietly. Lying quietly next to the couch, Gu Xiao thought about the wooden sword given by his master, the heaven-shaking unicorn seal, and the gold medal command arrow given by General Wan, all lying quietly in his arms, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
While doing the Qi Yun Gong, Gu Xiao checked his inner breath and found that he was fine. While he was doing the Qi Yun Gong, he heard footsteps outside the door. He hurriedly turned over, got off the bed, and with a flick of his toes, he was already there. He picked up the Broken Moon Sword Box into his arms and concentrated on guarding.
As the door opened, Gu Xiao caressed the sword box lightly. With a flash of sword light, Duan Yue was already unsheathed. The blade of the sword reached the throat of the person who pushed the door open. The person did not dodge, but spoke coldly.
"you're awake."
Only then did Gu Xiao see clearly that the person who came was none other than Jiang Ningxue, who was dressed in white. At this time, her face was still as cold as ice, but she was not holding her magic weapon Jinghong in her hand, but was holding a There was a wooden basin with a handkerchief on the edge. The water in the basin was still warm. The rising mist caused a layer of fine water mist to instantly condense on the edge of the Broken Moon Sword.
"Miss Jiang. Are we...safe?" Gu Xiao's head seemed to have not yet woken up from his drowsiness. When he saw that it was Jiang Ningxue, he got up and let Jiang Ningxue into the room.
Jiang Ningxue didn't say anything. She just walked lightly to the table, placed the wooden basin in front of the table, and said softly: "Now that you're awake, let's wash up first. You seem to be strong, but from now on... After returning from the mountains, you are the only one who is unconscious.”
Fragments of the back mountain of the He family gradually flashed through Gu Xiao's mind. He shook his heavy head and recalled the shocking exchange between He Zhidao and the mysterious swordsman. He ignored the appearance behind his unkempt hair and hurriedly asked: "What happened after last night? What about the ancestor of the He family... what happened to him later? Who is that mysterious man? Why did he appear in the back of the He family? What happened to Xiaojie and Brother Yuwen, what happened to Brother Xiong and the others? And...and Miss Feng..."
"Yesterday?" Jiang Ningxue saw that Gu Xiao was anxious, so she rolled up her sleeves, soaked the handkerchief for Gu Xiao, wrung it out slightly, and turned around and handed it to Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao couldn't refuse Miss Jiang's kindness, but he was eager to know what happened last night, so he reached out to take the handkerchief, wiped it cleanly, and then asked eagerly: "Miss Jiang, what happened? Can you tell me."
Seeing the eager expression on the young man's face, Jiang Ningxue had a strange look on her face. She turned her back and said softly: "You have been unconscious for five days... When I woke up that day, the mysterious man had left, and the ancestor of the He family was dead. I can only use my internal strength to heal the wounds first, and then try to make Ren Bu Di wake up. It happened that Brother He... Miao woke up and took you back to Hejiabao."
"What, I've been unconscious for so many days... Have you been taking care of me these days? Thank you very much." Gu Xiao's head was still hazy and he asked subconsciously.
Jiang Ningxue's face turned red. She turned around and soaked the handkerchief again to hide her appearance from the young man's eyes. Then she handed the wrung hot handkerchief to the young man beside her again.
In the mountains behind Hejiabao, this clever young man always anticipated the enemy and was confident. But when everyone came down the mountain and gradually woke up, he was unconscious for the longest time. Only then could we see that this young man was really seriously injured. light.
After taking care of him for the past few days, the time spent together during this period of time kept popping up in her mind. Jiang Ningxue seemed to have almost forgotten what the guest in the bamboo hat left when he left.
"Your father is already ashamed, but he is the emperor...you..."
Gu Xiao took the handkerchief and suddenly remembered the disappearance of Lin'er and others. He hurriedly reached into his arms to find the letter containing the method of entering Murong Valley, because when he was in the mountains behind Hejiabao, the ancestor of the He family once said This envelope did not contain the method of entering Murong Valley. At that time, I pretended to be calm, but now that I think about it, I still can't help but want to open the letter and find out.
After groping in his arms for a while, he finally found the crumpled envelope. He hurriedly opened it and opened the already crumpled letter. It was a blank piece of paper. Gu Xiao checked it several times and found that there was indeed no word written on it. .
"I watched with my own eyes that day when he put the letter filled with words into it, how could it turn into a blank piece of paper." Gu Xiao said to himself, and then thought about whether it would be possible if he handed the letter to his Yuwen Tuo. It was he who switched the letters.
However, Gu Xiao immediately rejected his idea. Yuwen Tuo was considered a famous disciple in the martial arts world. He would not do such a despicable thing. Moreover, based on what a few people had experienced together in the Eight Formations of Shimen, he If you want to know how to enter Murong Valley, you only need to ask, and you will tell the truth, and there is no need to bother exchanging letters.
Gu Xiao thought of Mr. Chongyang again. He was still in Hejiabao. If he could write one method of entering Murong Valley, he could naturally write a second one. He asked again: "Miss Jiang, is the Chongyang pen still in the castle?" "What happened in the past few days..."
Jiang Ningxue knew that Gu Xiao was worried about how to enter Murong Valley. She was about to hesitate on how to answer when she heard a loud voice outside the door.
"Miss Jiang, let me answer what Mu Shaoxia wants to know one by one."
Perhaps he had not yet recovered from the tension at the back of Hejiabao. When he heard someone speaking outside, Gu Xiao alertly stretched out his hand to the long sword in the sword case... On the contrary, Jiang Ningxue saw Gu Xiao's nervous look. , signaling the young man in front of him to calm down.
Thinking that Miss Jiang mentioned that the ancestor of the He family had died in the back mountain, Gu Xiao felt that he had overreacted. When the person who opened the door stepped into the room, Gu Xiao looked a little surprised and said: "You are not ... He... No, why did you threaten Na He Ji on the mountain?"
The visitor had a square mouth and a broad nose, and his originally calm and confident face no longer had the frown on his face. He placed the tray filled with tea and porridge on the table, smiled at Gu Xiao and said, "This is what I'm talking about." It’s a long story, Mr. Mu, please listen to me in detail. I’ve been unconscious for the past few days. Even if it’s a big deal, I have to fill my stomach first.”
It was okay not to mention this. When he mentioned filling his stomach, Gu Xiao's stomach began to growl unsatisfactorily. Even Jiang Ningxue, who was not smiling at the side, pursed her lips and smiled.
Gu Xiao knew that this was not the time to be anxious. He looked at the visitor's hand wrapped in fine cloth and smiled: "That's right, but it seems inappropriate to call you Lord He at this moment. Please let me know."
The person who came was none other than He Kui, who was the last to arrive from the Eight Formations of Shimen. He wanted to restrain He Kui, who was used by He Ji to restrain He Zhidao, but was first injured by He Zhidao's blow on his hand, and then was hit in the chest by He Ji. After a series of heavy blows, He Zhidao fainted on the spot, but fortunately He Zhidao was no longer able to control him, and He Ji fled with all his strength after the liger cub was obtained, and did not kill He Kui who was unconscious on the ground. Therefore, He Kui escaped.
When He Kui woke up from his coma, he happened to see Jiang Ningxue trying to wake up Ren Bunan who had fainted, and the murderer He Zhidao had already passed away. Although he could not personally avenge the family's destruction, He Ji There was no trace, but since He Zhidao was dead, He Kui could not leave the still unconscious Feng girl and others, so he had to go ahead and take the still unconscious people back down the mountain with Ren Bunan and others, and then make plans.
Hearing Gu Xiao's dissatisfied stomach growling, He Kui looked at Jiang Ningxue and chuckled, and said repeatedly: "What Mu Shaoxia said is true, my real name is not He Kui. Come on, sit down first, let's sit down together. Let’s chat while eating.” As he said this, he quickly placed the porridge and side dishes on the tray on the table and asked Gu Xiao to sit down.
Gu Xiao was indeed thirsty and hungry, and he didn't care about some etiquette. After eating the noodles and porridge, not only did his chest, which was sluggish due to Na He Dao and the mysterious man's fight in his body, relaxed a lot, but he also had something in his stomach. The food and even my complexion are much better.
Watching the young man gobbling up the food on the table, he told the story of the He family and his son who massacred Miaozhuang and the Fengjiabao massacre, and how he rescued Miss Feng. He and Jin Buyi hit it off immediately. How to make a plan, how to hide next to He Zhidao and tell Miss Feng the truth about waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.
Although on the mountain behind Hejiabao, Gu Xiao had heard Miss Feng talk about what the He family father and son had done to Fengjiabao, he did not expect that there was still the massacre of Miaozhuang, especially after hearing that the owner of Miaozhuang was kind-hearted. After rescuing the He family's father and son in the snow, He Zhidao repaid his kindness with hatred and killed everyone in Miaozhuang. He couldn't help but start shooting.
Gu Xiao remembered He Ji's escape in the back mountain and hurriedly asked if He Ji had been executed. He Kui shook his head gently and said bluntly that after returning to Fengjiabao, Miss Feng was the first to wake up and heard that He Zhidao was dead. , He Ji fled, and after negotiating with herself and Jin Buyi, He Kui and Jin Buyi were left to seal off the news and temporarily take charge of the overall situation, while she had already set off to track down He Ji's whereabouts.
After Gu Xiao heard this, he calmed down a little. Thinking of the incident in Murong Gu, he cupped his fists towards He Kui and said, "I have something to ask of you."
A special light flashed in He Kui's eyes, and he said: "Miss Feng told me and Jin Buyi before leaving Fengjiabao that Mu Shaoxia once saved her life. No matter what Mu Shaoxia needs, Feng Jiabao will give you full support."
Gu Xiao didn't know what happened in the past few days. Since Miss Feng had followed He Ji and left Fengjiabao, he could only ask He Kui about the deaths of Murong Gu and Liu Piaopiao, as well as the safety of everyone in Fuyuan Escort Bureau.
After making up his mind, Gu Xiao said: "Why... no, Brother Miao, is the Chongyang Pen still in Fengjiabao? Brother Miao also knows that one of the purposes of my coming here is to enter the Murong Valley's method. , In addition, I have a good friend in Zangbei City, and that is Xiong Feng, the chief escort of the Fuyuan Escort Bureau. When I was chasing ligers in the back mountains of Hejiabao, I heard Miss Feng mention that I don’t know where they are now. , have you ever been imprisoned by He Zhidao?"
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Ningxue sighed softly, and He Kui frowned slightly, as if he had something to hide. After a moment of silence, He Kui said in a deep voice: "Young Master Mu, let me tell you the truth, that day you left Hua Chaoyuan, going to the back mountain to hunt for the liger was actually a plan that Brother Jin and Miss Feng made to lure the tiger away from the mountain. The purpose was to make the old thief of the He family alone. Brother Jin and I worked together to capture it. He and Miss Feng are waiting for the next season in the back mountain."
Speaking of this, He Kui seemed to feel guilty. He looked at the young man in front of him and continued: "In order to make the old thief Fang Cun chaotic, we first planned to kill He Zhong, took his head from his neck, put it in a wooden box and sent it to In Hejiapu, the old thief He was suspicious, so he thought of using the Fuyuan Escort Bureau to escort the escort. I had found out about Xiong Feng from the Fuyuan Escort Bureau beforehand, and knew that he acted cautiously. If he took over this escort, he would not go anywhere. I stayed too much in Hejiapu... I didn't expect that Xiong Feng would have a visitor that day. It turned out that he just sent his bodyguard to deliver the wooden box containing He Zhong's head to Hejiapu..."
When Gu Xiao heard this, he suddenly realized that the whole thing was connected. In this way, it made sense. No wonder he smelled the strong smell of medicinal stones from the wooden box in the Fuyuan escort agency that day. Thinking about it now, It should be that some drugs were used to cover up the smell of blood from He Zhong's head.
"It's because I didn't think it through well. When Old Thief He saw his son's head, he got really angry and went into chaos. However, he also implicated the people from the Fuyuan Escort Bureau..." After He Kui finished speaking, he saw the young man in green shirt heard about the Fuyuan Escort Bureau. The person who was implicated stood up with concern, hurriedly spoke to comfort him, and then continued.
"Mu Shaoxia, please be patient. In order for the plan to eradicate the old thief He to go smoothly, although the people in Fuyuan Escort Bureau suffered some hardships, they were all superficial injuries. Only the escort named Chen Dongzhi suffered. The old thief suffered a few blows and suffered serious internal injuries, but he has been recuperating in the past few days and is no longer a problem."
After hearing this, Gu Xiao felt relieved and said: "Then I'll be relieved. By the way, Brother Miao, that Double Ninth Festival pen..."
When He Kui heard the young man mentioning the Double Ninth Festival pen, his brows tightened and he said, "The most strange thing about this is none other than Mr. Chongyang..."
Some people died, but not completely...
