Elder Xue immediately rushed forward, grabbed the guard's shirt, and asked angrily again: "Tell me again, what happened to the Snow Palace?"
"Elder Xue, the Snow Palace is empty! A guard saw the two young masters from the Snow Palace carrying their bags and following Young Master Jiao and the young master out of the Old Chen Valley."
Before Elder Xue had time to react, he hurriedly took out a letter from his lapel: "This is the letter that Young Master Hua found in the Snow Palace. It seems to have been left by the two Young Masters."
Originally, the guards at Qianshan would not know the two Xuezhongzi, but there was such a big change at the palace gate last night. The two were allowed to go down the mountain and gather at the Feather Palace in Qianshan. Therefore, their identities were known and there was no way the guards would admit their mistake.
Elder Xue opened the letter with trembling hands. He recognized the handwriting. It was Xue Chongzi's. The credible content made Elder Xue cover his heart with his hand. He let go of the letter paper in his hand and slowly fell to the ground.
"Poof!" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Elder Xue rolled his eyes and fainted completely.
"Send it to the doctor quickly!"
I saw only a few lines on the letter: Yu Gong has done many evil things and is selfish. The elders do not distinguish between right and wrong. The future of the palace is foreseeable. Since justice will not be given, the two of us do not want to stay anymore. The skills he created have been left behind, and the method of cultivating the snow lotus has been written down in the book. As a repayment of the palace gate's cultivation, he will have nothing to do with the palace gate in the future.
The blade-holding hall was in chaos. Elder Xue was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma. Everything could only be managed by the two elders Hua Yue. As for Gong Ziyu, he is only focused on taking care of his biological father at the moment, and he has never taken over palace affairs, let alone handle them. If he gets involved, it will only become more chaotic.
Gong Shangjiao and others didn't know what happened at the palace gate, and even if they knew, they wouldn't care. Everything was their own choice, and they had been given opportunities many times.
Because the incident happened suddenly, Wu Feng didn't know the situation yet, otherwise he might have sent someone to assassinate him.
Gong Shangjiao is away from home all year round, running the family business and dealing with the mediators in the Jianghu. He inevitably travels around. In the past two years, he found an excellent place to stay outside, which was an extremely secret valley with complex terrain and steep cliffs. ,Pretty good.
Qin Manman was protected in Gong Shangjiao's arms. She always felt that this route looked a little familiar, but she didn't have time to ask Gong Shangjiao when she was on the way, so she could only put away her doubts for the time being.
It wasn't until the group of people, tired and hungry, stopped to rest in the forest that she had the opportunity to ask: "A Shang, why do I feel that this route looks so familiar?"
Gong Shangjiao chuckled lightly and handed her the dry food in his hand: "Of course it looks familiar. You forgot that I took this route when I brought you back that day."
Qin Manman suddenly realized: "I'm just telling you why it looks so familiar. It turns out that if you have walked through it, then the valley you are talking about cannot be..."
[Isn’t it the bottom of the cliff where we met before? It can't be such a coincidence, right? 】
Gong Shangjiao was in a great mood after hearing her voice: "Manman still remembers where we first met."
[Good guy, it’s really that! 】
"I have been away all year round and traveled to many places. I discovered this valley by accident, but I entered through the cave at the bottom of the cliff. I don't know how high the cliff is."
"That day I was chased by an assassin and my life hung on a thread. I was just taking a lucky gamble. If I won the bet, there would be many exotic flowers and plants in the valley, and I would live. If I lost the bet, I would die. But if I don’t bet, I will only die after being surrounded by assassins.”
"So Manman, it was your arrival that changed my desperate situation. These days we have been together, I like you more and more, and this place has been warmed by you." Gong Shangjiao took her hand and put it on his chest, his eyes filled with joy. It is tender love.
Qin Manman took a bite of the pancake in her hand and blushed: [I hate it. I should be moved by his confession at this time, but there are actually unhealthy things in my mind. The touch under my hands is so good. , Ashang is also in good shape. Last time I accidentally touched his ***. 】
Now it was Gong Shangjiao's turn to blush. Manman was indeed a pervert.
Gong Yuanzheng and Mr. Xuezhongxue were sitting together, nibbling dry pancakes, but their eyes fell on a young couple sitting under a tree not far away.
"Mr. Zheng, what's the relationship between your brother and that girl? Why do they look a bit..." Mr. Xue took a bite of the pancake. He felt a little full even though he hadn't eaten more than a few bites.
Xue Chongzi understood: "Is that Mr. Jiao's wife?"
The two of them were wearing wedding clothes, and thinking about Mrs. Ling who appeared last night, Xuezhongzi already had a guess in his mind.
Gong Yuanzheng nodded: "Yes, my brother and sister-in-law have got married in front of Mrs. Ling and Brother Langjiao. But you can rest assured that my sister-in-law is a living person, not a ghost."
"If there was no sister-in-law, maybe we would still be kept in the dark by Yu Gong now, and we might be tricked to death by Yu Gong in the future." Gong Yuanzheng sneered, feeling disgusted when mentioning Yu Gong.
"Brother Langjiao?" Mr. Xue was confused. Is there such a person at the palace gate?
Mr. Xue suddenly remembered the child beside the lady last night.
"Brother Langjiao is the biological brother of Brother Shangjiao. He died at the hands of an assassin eight years ago."
The two of them were silent. Yumiya really killed many people.
Gong Huanyu sat not far away, eating dry food and watching them. He hasn't spoken since he left the palace. After all, he really didn't get along with them before, so it wouldn't be a good idea to go up rashly.
but……
His eyes fell on Qin Manman next to Gong Shangjiao. Maybe Gong Shangjiao was really lucky. Both lost their loved ones, and Gong Shangjiao was saved.
The former Gong Shangjiao was lonely except when facing Gong Yuanzheng, and he was lonely at other times, exuding the same aura as him.
Now Gong Shangjiao seems to have been redeemed, there is light in his eyes, and his body no longer exudes loneliness, but gentleness.
But that's fine. Gong Shangjiao is a much more reliable partner than others. After all, it's a blood feud. Others may be able to let it go, but Gong Shangjiao won't.
After eating, the group of people rode on the road again. The sky gradually darkened. When they arrived at the valley, the sun was about to set. I have to say that Gong Shangjiao really found a good place. In a valley like this, people really won't find it easily.
They now need time to establish their power and cannot be discovered by Wu Feng, otherwise they may be in danger.
The guards were building temporary shelters, while Gong Shangjiao led others to survey the surrounding terrain to confirm whether there was any danger.
"There are so many herbs here!"
With an exclamation, Gong Yuanzheng happily ran forward, not only in the grass, but also on the cliffs. They are all difficult to find in the outside world!
At this moment, Mr. Xue exclaimed: "Come and see! There are many corpses here! They are all dressed in night clothes and equipped with long swords. They look like they have been dead not long ago!"
