On February 25th, under the leadership of Wenjianhu, the Tiandi Alliance rushed to Jiangzhou to rescue the two Zhujianfeng Qiao and Li.
But when everyone rushed in Mingxi
During the "Su Mansion", there were no people from Yijian Villa and Jinwu Sect. The search for the mansion did not last long. Qiao Ruchen and Li Junce were found in a cellar.
Ming Xi looked at the two people's expressions, as if they had been poisoned for many days. She wanted to order someone to investigate, but a disciple from Sword Making Peak threatened to take them away on her own.
From the looks of it, Li Junce might have been a corpse if it had been any later. Only Qiao Ruichen was in better condition. When he passed by Mingxi, he thanked him.
"Thank you... Master Ming for the rescue..." Ming Xi responded: "It doesn't matter, we are all members of the Heaven and Earth Alliance! Zhujian Peak was harmed by a traitor, and he will definitely pay the price afterwards!"
"Ahem, the Yijian Villa and the Golden Crow Gate seemed to have left three days ago... I wonder if it would be helpful to Sect Leader Ming..." Qiao Ruichen covered his mouth and nose and coughed slightly.
Three days? Mingxi thought about it and recalled the results of Lan Wuqiu's previous interrogation outside the city. Whether it’s from the sects in Jiangzhou, bandits, or the Yanyang soldiers guarding the city, there haven’t been many people leaving the city together in recent days?
Did Yijian Villa and Jinwumen leave earlier? But it’s up to one’s will, just treat it as if I’ve only been away for three days...
"Qiao has a good rest, leave the pursuit to us!" Mingxi murmured. Qiao Ruichen nodded and responded: "Thank you again, Master Ming..." Ming Xi hugged his fists and walked out of the cellar early.
Then he watched the Zhujianfeng disciples take away their two worshippers. Mingxi stood at the entrance of the mansion lobby, with his hands behind his back and looking at the tables and chairs.
When Yijian Villa left, the place was not restored. Looking at the chairs in different positions, there was a spot near the door that was leaning sharply, as if someone had fallen off the back of the chair.
Lan Wuqiu walked quickly to the lobby and saw that Mingxi could tell, so he waited quietly aside.
"Tell me, what exactly did they discuss on the day they met?" Mingxi said to herself. Lan Wuqiu bowed his hands and followed Mingxi's gaze to the seat next to the door.
"If Zhujian Peak indeed has some conspiracy with Yijian Villa, then this meeting is just for show for us, or for Xunhan Mountain..."
"Now that there is no possibility of peace talks between Xunhanshan, Yijian Villa, and the Jinwumen faction, this Jiangzhou move is just for us!"
"At this moment, the latter must have gone to Xunhan Mountain. Let's speed up the process and rush to Liuzhou?" Lan Wuqiu asked for instructions, but Mingxi shook her head.
"Later, according to what Qiao Xiuchen said, we will search for the disciples of the two factions in the city first. They may be 'hiding' inside!"
"Yes!" Lan Wuqiu didn't dare to question Mingxi's order. He responded with clasped fists and walked towards the door of the mansion.
Half an hour later, the entire Jiangzhou City was turned upside down by the various factions of the Heaven and Earth Alliance. Most of the people in the market who know the power of the Heaven and Earth Alliance quickly get out of the way when they see someone.
After escaping, looking at the backs of these charlatans, I still had to say a few words.
"What are these men who waste food all day long doing wandering around the city? Are they really afraid of offending the government?"
"Let's not let it go. A group of people came here a few days ago, and now another group of people is coming!"
"You two, please keep your voices down. You didn't pay attention to the group in front of you. If you came into the city at night, will the government take care of us?" A few people were still chatting in low voices. Suddenly they looked at the disciples of the Earth Alliance in front of them and turned to look at them. rear.
They immediately fell silent, just went their separate ways, and soon dispersed. I was afraid of being arrested by the disciples of these high-ranking sects. When I met these people, my life was half decided.
...Qiao and Li, who were rescued earlier, were brought to another inn by Zhujianfeng disciples.
Seeing all the disciples in the peak exit the room, Qiao Ruichen took out a pill from his sleeve and put it into Li Junce's mouth.
He was about to bring some water in when he suddenly noticed the breathing of another person in the room. Listening to his long breathing, Qiao Ruochen became alert and half-crouched down, ready to strike back at any time.
"In order to cooperate with others, you can let your colleagues fall to this?" A very low voice came from behind Qiao Ruichen.
He didn't look back, just looked at Li Junce who looked bitter.
"Uncle, it's about the truth about the sword appreciation, Xichen has to investigate!"
"What can we do if we know the truth? Can the Zhujian Peak now defeat Xunhan Mountain? Or do you think... Yijian Villa and the Golden Crow Sect can destroy it?" After hearing this question, Qiao Ruichen turned around He turned around and looked at his uncle.
Elder Qiao in Sword Forging Peak is also the current leader of the Sword Buried Valley lineage. Qiao Ruichen spoke out: "So my uncle has known for a long time that the sword appreciation is related to Xunhan Mountain?" Listening to his nephew's tone, the elder Qiao began to have a look of anger on his face.
"So what if I know? I still need to report everything to you, right? Qiao Da worships me?"
"Or do you, Qiao Ruichen, really think that you can get justice with Xunhan Mountain by fighting with your life and fighting for the entire Sword Forging Peak?"
"Even these two factions need to prepare for such a long time before moving to Xunhan Mountain. How far can you, Qiao Ruichen, go?" Qiao Ruichen closed his eyes slightly after listening to these three questions.
The picture in his mind then began to emerge... The sword-appreciation accident happened, not only the reopened Zhujianfeng was smashed to pieces.
It also ruined the way of life for everyone up and down the peak. Zhujian Peak will never be able to return to its former appearance. Casting sword peak double jade has also become a joke.
He, Qiao Ruichen, promised his brother, his words of encouragement to his disciples, and his guarantee to his uncle.
It was all in vain and could no longer be realized. And the instigator of all this is now rampant in the world. Why can't he just pick up his sword and go away, asking Tu Dou... why?
Qiao Ruichen was silent for a long time. Elder Qiao, whom he called his uncle, seemed to have lost interest and stopped looking at him.
"If Junce wakes up, you don't have to sleep anymore!" Li Junce, who was on the bed, immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Elder Qiao.
"It's so embarrassing to be plotted against by Yijian Villa. I hope my uncle won't take the blame..."
"Jun Ce, let me ask you..."
"Uncle, please speak!"
"In your opinion, what are the chances of the two factions winning?" Li Junce was silent for a moment, first looked up at Qiao Ruichen, and then turned to look at Elder Qiao in front of him.
"Jun Ce believes that Yijian Villa is not as simple as outsiders think. To fight to the death... can reach 60%!" After hearing this answer, Elder Qiao nodded and walked out of the house. go.
As he approached the door of the house, he said: "From now on, Zhujianfeng will accompany the Heaven and Earth Alliance for the time being, and I will leave everything to you two to handle..." Qiao Ruichen and Li Junce both handed over their hands and paid tribute to their uncle. A gift.
"Nephew, farewell uncle..." When the old man walked out of the house, Li Junce looked at Qiao Ruchen's back.
He asked expressionlessly: "Second brother, can you inform Junce about the discussion?" Qiao Ruichen just said one word, "Delay!"
"Understood..." Li Junce finished speaking, bowed extremely perfunctorily, and walked towards the door of the house.
Until the end, only Qiao Xichen was left in the room. He made two strokes on the desk with his bare hands, one horizontally and one vertically.
This was the result of the reply given to him by the second owner of Yijian Villa. I'm going to look for Hanshan now, and I'm sure that Yijian Villa will be there!
Qiao Ruichen sighed and looked out the window. Brother Si, this matter has finally come to an end...but unfortunately, it doesn't stop at my hands, but it can be regarded as an explanation to the ancestors. I hope you won't be surprised, brother.
...For the first time, so many people gathered in the Xunhan Mountain Council Hall. Tudou, who was sitting in the main seat, looked a little ugly.
Since he was ambushed at the stream that day, he fled back to Liuzhou overnight. Fortunately, he was well prepared for the brutal counterattack. Even if he was completely sure, he still had to find a way out for himself.
Then during these days, he issued several orders to recall all Xunhan Mountain disciples who were walking everywhere back to the mountain.
Before there was any news that Ming Xi had successfully intercepted Lu Fengbai and others, he had to be ready to receive attacks from these two factions at any time.
The worry on Tu Dou's face naturally attracted some disciples to study and examine it carefully. The several deacons at the end of the table looked at each other, and as soon as their eyes exchanged, they understood what they were thinking.
[The mountain master looks like this, but Yijian Villa and Jinwu Sect are invading? 】【There is no news of his whereabouts yet...】【If those two groups of people have gathered at the foot of the mountain...can we handle it?
】While one person was still winking, their King Tushan spoke.
"Everyone, at this moment when the mountain gate is about to live or die, I have only one question to ask! Will you follow me to kill the thieves and punish the bad guys?" Elder Li, who had a high status at this moment, was the first to stand up and shouted: "We are willing to share the worries of the mountain master. !" Immediately afterwards, his disciple also shouted: "No matter who comes! I will eat his skin and flesh and drink his blood! Anyone who offends me to seek Hanshan will die!!!" After the two people spoke, the whole person The meeting hall fell into a brief silence at first.
However, people soon started to respond, and their mouths were full of curses and contemptuous words towards the Yijian Villa. Few people from the Jinwu Sect who were traveling with them shouted curses.
Looking at the slightly noisy scene in the meeting hall, Tu Dou coughed twice and continued to speak.
"I know everyone's intentions. From now on, whoever offends me will be skinned and cramped!" After Tu Dou shouted the last four words loudly, the entire council hall started shouting along with him.
"Skinned and cramped! Skinned and cramped!" In this way, morale has been boosted! Just waiting for Old Mingxi to take action... At this moment, the door of the meeting hall was pushed open, and a disciple in charge of patrolling the mountain rushed in.
Most of the people who can be in the meeting hall today are elders and deacons in the sect. Even if he is just a disciple, he is also a direct descendant of the elder here. Who would think highly of this reckless mountain patrolling disciple?
For a moment, the disciples at the bottom of the table all stared at this patrolling disciple with disgust and contempt. But the mountain patrol disciple didn't even think about the previous etiquette and rushed straight to the position where Tu Dou could be seen.
He shouted eagerly: "Mountain Master! Mountain Master...the Yijian Villa...and the Golden Crow Gate are now down the mountain!" As soon as he said this, the whole place was in an uproar.
Tudou's pupils narrowed and he looked towards the mountain gate in disbelief. Are they coming?
