He Kui and Gu Xiao were talking side by side. As He Kui said the contents of the secret letter, Gu Xiao, who was not paying attention at all, became serious. His eyebrows that had just relaxed were frowned again. Just because He Kui said The contents of the secret letter shocked Gu Xiao.
"The secret letter from Thief He mentioned an interception..."
Gu Xiao suddenly turned his head and glanced at He Kui next to him in surprise. He looked directly at the former Lord of Hejiabao and the current person in charge, feeling uncomfortable all over...
"Is that interception related to Lingzhou..." Gu Xiao seemed to understand something and asked.
This time it was He Kui's turn to be surprised. He looked at the young man in green shirt in front of him again. They were deceived by the old thief He and were not accomplices of the old thief He. However, they could treat what he knew as the truth. The young man in front of him had not read the secret letter, but how did he know the contents of the letter?
Gu Xiao didn't know what He Kui was thinking. Seeing He Kui's eyes flickering, he already knew that what he said was right and continued to ask: "Brother Miao, what else was mentioned in the secret letter."
Pulled back from his thoughts by the young man's question, he continued: "Mu Shaoxia's accent is also from the north. I wonder if you have ever heard of Liuzhuang in Liangzhou City..."
Miss Feng left Fengjiabao temporarily and did not know the date of her return. Liu Piaopiao's death could not be questioned in person. The broken clues were connected again by He Kui's words. Gu Xiao did not want to Deliberately concealing it, it was just his grudge with Liuzhuang, fearing that it would bring unnecessary trouble to Miss Feng and the others.
As soon as his mind moved, he concealed the matter of Liuzhuang and said: "I have also heard about Liuzhuang in Liangzhou, but I heard that it was burned down by a fire a few days ago and no one survived...could it be that, Liuzhuang is related to Hejiabao."
He Kui said in a deep voice: "That is just a way to hide the truth. The purpose is to let the owner of Liuzhuang, Liu Piaopiao, fake his death and go to Lingzhou to intercept and kill a person. However, the letter did not mention who the intercepted person was. Who, and I asked Miss Feng to go to Lingzhou to investigate, but I didn't find out about the interception... but I accidentally found out that Liu Piaopiao was captured by the Lingzhou Protector..."
"In this way, the mystery of Liu Piaopiao's death has been solved. If it was Miss Feng who did it, it may be called the Immortal Binding Rope or the Green Silk Rope. The green silk thread that Miss Jiang found in the Protector's Prison must be Miss Feng accidentally left it behind when she silenced her." Gu Xiao thought to himself after hearing what He Kui said.
"Since it is a secret letter, have you ever mentioned in your mind which sect is the one who instigated Hejiabao to carry out the murder?" Perhaps the disappearance of the Chongyang Bi is related to the person who instigated it. Perhaps the Chongyang Bi can be found through this clue. Thinking of this , Gu Xiao asked hurriedly.
"The person who communicated secretly with Mr. He is the Jindaomen. If Mr. He has been secretly connected with the Jindaomen, then the disappearance of the Chongyang pen must be inseparable from the Jindaomen." He Kui replied truthfully. road.
Seeing that the young man was deep in thought, He Kui continued: "To be honest with Mu Shaoxia, I asked Miss Feng to take Liu Piaopiao's life. In my plan, I wanted to secretly take the lives of the He family's father and son, and then replace them. Become the master of Hejiabao. In this way, you can use Liu Piaopiao's life as a pledge of surrender, take the opportunity to worship the Golden Blade Sect in the name of Hejiabao, and continue to explore the relationship between Hejiabao and the Golden Sword Sect. But, Miss Feng is chasing He Ji away, how to hide the death of the He family and his son from the eyes of the government and people in the world..."
Speaking of this, He Kui's eyes flashed with a trace of subtle cunning, and he said in a deep voice: "So, I would like to ask Mu Shaoxia for a favor."
"You want me to conceal everything that happened in Hejiabao in the past few days?" Gu Xiao did not notice the change in He Kui's expression. He only understood what he meant after hearing him go around in such a long circle.
When He Kui heard this, he narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Mu Shaoxia is indeed a young hero with a clear mind."
Gu Xiao frowned and said, "But what happened in this castle was not only me, but also Brother Yuwen, Xiaojie, and so many He family worshipers and guardians..."
Before he finished speaking, He Kui seemed to have something in mind and continued: "Don't worry, Young Master Mu, there were only you and me in the back mountain that day, as well as Brother Yuwen, Miss Jiang, Xiaojie and Na Ren. It's not difficult to understand what happened." What, Brother Yuwen and Miss Jiang are descendants of a famous family. They understand the righteousness well and are willing to keep the secret of what happened in Hejiabao for me. However, the remaining ministers of Hejia and the guardians of Hejia do not know the inside story. As long as If we blame all these things on the liger, others will naturally believe it, right?"
Seeing that the young man was hesitant and did not agree, He Kui continued: "This move is also good for Mu Shaoxia. If the person who stole the Chongyang Pen discovers what happened to Hejiabao, he will naturally be more careful. Concealing his whereabouts, if Mu Shaoxia can also hide this matter, that person will definitely be exposed, and as long as he finds the Chongyang Pen, he will know the way to enter Murong Valley. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
After hearing He Kui's words, Gu Xiao took a step back, crossed his arms across his chest, and scanned He Kui's face with his starry eyes. The square-mouthed and broad-nosed former lord of the castle of any family, now the person in charge, had a genuine smile. Chen Ken, it’s not like he’s pretending.
After thinking for a while, Gu Xiao then smiled and said: "Brother Miao said... no... I should call you what you said. What Fort Master He said is very correct. I am willing to follow Fort Master He's strategy."
He Kui was overjoyed when he heard this. He held Gu Xiao's arm and said with a smile: "Brother Mu really understands the righteousness. In this way, I can continue to trace the whereabouts of the Double Ninth Festival pen. I will send people to trace it. Brother Mu only needs to rest assured. Just recuperate in the family fort. As soon as there is news, I will send someone to inform you immediately."
Gu Xiao cupped his fists and said, "Well, Mu Yi would like to thank Lord He fortress... I have something else that I would like Lord He to tell me directly..."
He Kui seemed to be in a good mood. He kept patting Gu Xiao's arm and said with a smile: "Brother Mu, if there is anything else, as long as I know it, I will tell you everything."
Gu Xiao thought for a while and said: "When did Master He discover that the Chongyang Brush was missing? I still remember that when we went to the back mountain, the Chongyang Brush should still be in the Flower Chaoyuan. Just now, Master He said that on that day You followed He Zhidao and also went to the back mountain together, leaving the Chongyang Brush to take care of Jin Chongfeng who was injured by He Zhidao. When the Chongyang Brush disappeared, Jin Chongfeng was naturally present. Can I see Jin Chongfeng."
He Kui was startled when he heard this, then smiled and said: "That's natural, it's just Brother Mu's injury. If you want to recuperate for a few more days, it's not too late to ask Brother Jin."
Gu Xiao heard the words and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master He. Brother Xiong was also worried about me just now. You saw it just now. I was just stunned by the energy of the mysterious man's fight with He Zhidao. It's nothing serious. I I am anxious in my heart to know the whole story of the missing Chongyang pen, and I hope Master He can understand my feelings."
"I can understand Brother Mu's urgent mood. It's just that Brother Jin was seriously injured by that old thief He. He is currently recovering from his injuries. It will take some time before he can see the guests..." He Kui's face turned gloomy and he sighed.
"That being the case, I won't force you. I'll just stay here for a few days until Jin Gongfeng recovers, and then go see him again." Gu Xiao cupped his hands and cupped his fists.
"Mu Shaoxia is kind to us. Let alone staying for a while, it doesn't matter if he stays in my Hejiabu permanently from now on... By the way, Miss Feng is not in the fort, and the He family's father and son are dead. The current affairs are It's complicated, I still need to go and deal with it, so I won't disturb Brother Mu's rest." He Kui said with a smile.
Gu Xiao caught He Kui's expression in his eyes and smiled: "Master He, please go slowly."
Looking at the back of He Kui walking away, Gu Xiao fell into deep thought. There were too many things in the conversation just now that made Gu Xiao feel strange. What I saw when I first visited Hejiapu was a little different.
"Miss Jiang, do you feel that Miao... No, Lord He seems to be..." Gu Xiao hesitated, but before he could speak, Jiang Ningxue started to finish the second half of what she wanted to say. Come over.
"It's like he's become a different person."
"That's right, although we had no interaction with him before, but looking at his expression and reaction just now, it turned out that the He family and his son were his enemies who exterminated the clan, and his reaction was too calm. He Ji escaped, and Miss Feng wanted to avenge her family's extermination. To take back the liger cubs is the reaction that a normal person should have, but he only cares about whether we will spread the news about the incident in Hejiabao..." The more Gu Xiao thought about it, the more wrong he became. Jiang Ningxue frankly informed Jiang Ningxue of her doubts.
"Do you want to check it out?" Jiang Ningxue said indifferently.
"Miss Jiang is indeed a smart person... By the way, there is one more thing. I still haven't figured it out. Who is that mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat? Why did he want to save us? If he hadn't taken action, I'm afraid we would have Several people have already died under He Zhidao's move." Gu Xiao changed the subject, thinking of He Zhidao's last move, and said with lingering fear.
"You and I can't guess the thoughts of an expert outside this world." Jiang Ningxue moved her eyes to the side, avoiding the young man's gaze.
"That's right. Master once warned me that the masters in this world have very different personalities, and there are some people with weird tempers among them. Maybe it was on his whim... But he really followed what Master said. If he encounters the upper three realms again, As a master, it is better to use the thirty-sixth stratagem and take the best stratagem." Gu Xiao said to himself, completely unaware of Dao Jiang Ningxue's strange expression.
"Where do you want to start investigating first?" Jiang Ningxue changed the topic when she saw that Gu Xiao was mumbling something to herself and was not ready to continue questioning the mysterious person.
"Where to start checking first..." When Gu Xiao said to himself, he suddenly slapped his head, as if he remembered something terrible.
"It's over...Miss Jiang, I've been sleeping for five days, yes or no."
"yes."
"Yuan Day Festival?"
"It's over."
"It's over, it's over. Now not only can't I go back to the mountain to spend the festival with Master, but I have also lost Uncle Li and Lin'er. What can I do? When I came down from the mountain, Master warned me not to cause trouble. It's better now. I'm afraid it will be inevitable when I go back. A punishment."
Jiang Ningxue looked at the young man in front of her. Just a moment ago, he looked like a smart young hero. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a child who was afraid of punishment. She suppressed her smile and spoke to comfort her: "The elders are more generous than you think." It should be much broader. Even if you are afraid, the deal is already done, so it is better to take care of the current things first."
Jiang Ningxue's words actually made Gu Xiao calm down. Yes, since he can no longer rush back to the mountain to spend the festival with his master, he should solve the current problem first, find out what happened in Hejiabao in the past three days, and try to find the Chongyang Festival. Pen, find a way to go to Murong Valley, find Uncle Li, Lin'er, Brother Tianya and others, as well as the things General Wan entrusted to him, are all waiting for him to do. As for the master, the worst he can do is pretend after returning to the mountain. It's pitiful, Master is soft-hearted and will definitely not blame himself.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiao gathered his thoughts and said to Jiang Ningxue: "Miss Jiang, didn't you just ask me where to start investigating first?"
"That's right."
"Then let's start with the person who is least likely to lie to me."
"Xiong Feng?"
"Yes, let's go, let's go find Brother Bear first."
Some people died, but not completely...
