At that time, a major case occurred in Jiangnan.
Jiang Chaonan, a well-known literary man in Dashun and former Minister of Civil Affairs, had a family of seventy-six members, all of whom were killed by the Shadow Sect.
Only Jiang Chaonan's little granddaughter was rescued and escaped.
Not long before the accident, Jiang Chaonan had been to Wangjiang, Fushui, and worshiped at the river temple.
Jiang Chaonan was kind to Li Deming's father-in-law, the father of Master Jingxuan.
Therefore, after Li Deming got the news by chance, he paid attention to it.
He discussed with Master Jingxuan and asked her to take Li Xiaoqi and live there.
They felt that Jiang Chaonan would never go there for no reason.
Maybe there will be some secret.
In people's eyes, Master Jingxuan, who was dressed in traditional clothes and had a child, was a woman who had escaped from the north and had no choice but to stay there.
Perhaps because she felt that the River God had protected her, she began to worship him.
Of course, there is another advantage to this.
Heshen Temple is not very far from Moon Island, so it is convenient for Li Deming to visit his mother and daughter frequently.
Moreover, with such an identity, it is not easy to arouse suspicion.
Li Deming did not want their identities to be known.
After all, he has always been like the shadow of Zhang Suxing, doing things that are shameful and unattainable.
He was also worried that if he was targeted, it would harm his wife and children.
Originally, they were just wondering why Jiang Chaonan came to worship such an inconspicuous river temple.
Could this be related to the murder of Jiang Chaonan's family?
In particular, he knew that Zhang Suxing supported a group of people from the Shadow Sect.
We are both in Wangjiang County, may it be related?
This was the only thing he was hiding from Zhang Suxing.
Jiang Chaonan's family died at the hands of the Shadow Sect...
This has been many years.
Many people have investigated and found nothing.
Even if Master Jingxuan went to Heshen Temple, it was just a matter of luck.
What they didn't expect was that they were just hoping for a chance, but they actually discovered some clues.
Just one night a few years ago, someone broke into the River Temple at night.
At that time, Li Xiaoqi was still young and already asleep.
However, Master Jingxuan did not fall asleep.
The man's martial arts should not be weak. When he came to the temple, he looked around for something at the statue of the River Temple.
Finally, the man found a cloth bag under the shrine.
He originally thought that Master Jingxuan and the others were asleep, so he opened it directly.
At that time, the moonlight poured in from the window and fell on the thing in the man's hand.
Master Jingxuan saw it too clearly, it was actually a token from the Sun Moon Sect.
Of course, she didn't recognize it at the time.
I just remembered the appearance of the token and drew it to show Zhang Suxing.
It was also at that time that Zhang Suxing knew that the Sun and Moon Sect had activities in Jingzhou.
At first it was uncertain whether the Sun Moon Sect was related to the murder of Jiang Chaonan.
Secondly, I am not sure whether the Sun Moon Sect and Moon Island will be involved.
Li Deming thought about it and reported the matter to Zhang Suxing.
However, a section of the Heshen Temple was hidden, and it was said that it was discovered on Moon Island.
In these years, he also received the support of Zhang Suxing, and only then did he have the energy to pursue the affairs of the Sun and Moon Sect.
In fact, five years ago, they cracked down on a team from the Sun and Moon Sect that sent off relatives.
However, the Sun and Moon Cultists back then were not as powerful as Jiu Moxing and the others.
Li Deming alone was able to subdue all the members of the Sun and Moon Sect.
However, for some unknown reason, Zhang Suxing did not report the case, but killed everyone.
This has been Li Deming's confusion over the years.
However, he has always adhered to a principle and done his duty as a servant.
He would never ask more questions about things that Zhang Suxing didn't want to tell him.
No matter how doubtful he was, he was unwilling to ask any more questions.
What's more, he didn't want Zhang Suxing to know about the existence of Master Jingxuan and Li Xiaoqi.
Therefore, we are only investigating secretly.
At that time, there was also a drummer in the procession to send off the bride.
Moreover, that person is also the one with the highest cultivation level.
However, there were not five coffins in the team, but only two.
What lay inside the coffin was not the helper of the drummer, but a real young girl.
They were really planning to send the two girls to the River God Temple to sacrifice the two girls to the River God.
It seems that it is to complete some kind of ritual...
When he heard this, Duan Wenjun was even more sure that the Fenglingdu matter was probably not over yet.
But, something else is strange.
However, after coming out of the Zhang Family Courtyard, Li Mochou's various deeds showed that she seemed to have some understanding of the matter of sending off the bride.
And before she left, she said that she was going to Yuxing Pass.
She also said that if there was a chance, she would ask Duan Wenjun to visit Yuxing Pass when he left the capital.
At that time, Master Jingxuan said that her contact with Zhong Fan was also at Yuxing Pass.
And the former Minister of Civil Affairs, Jiang Chaonan, also visited Yuxing Pass when he was inspecting the north.
It is rumored that the headquarters of the shadows is also in Yuxing Mountain near Yuxing Pass.
When he heard this, Li Deming seemed to guess what Duan Wenjun wanted from him.
"Uncle De, I'm really sorry." Duan Wenjun looked at Li Deming with an apologetic expression, "Master Zhang asked you to come and follow me. He originally wanted you to appear upright in front of others and live in the sunshine. But now... "
"Young Master Duan, you don't need to be so worried." Li Deming smiled after hearing this. "I'm used to it after so many years. Moreover, if I appear openly by your side, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot of unnecessary criticism from people with good intentions." .”
"I will set off for Yuxing Pass now." He looked at Duan Wenjun and then continued, "Whether it is the Sun Moon Sect or the Shadow Sect, I will try my best to find out as many things as possible before Master Duan arrives at Yuxing Pass." information."
"Uncle De, I really feel wronged to you." Duan Wenjun nodded solemnly. "But, you cannot do this alone. What I want to ask for your help is to go to the vicinity of Yuxing Pass. Build an intelligence network of our own.”
"Our own intelligence network?" Li Deming was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't understand what Duan Wenjun meant.
Duan Wenjun nodded, "I would like to ask you to quickly form your own team at Yuxing Pass after you go there. You must inquire about not only Yuxing Pass and Yuxing Mountain, but even the surrounding areas."
"But, the Sun Moon Sect and the Shadow Sect..." Li Deming was still a little confused.
"It's not just the Sun Moon Sect and Shadow Sect, as long as it's in this area, no matter what kind of information you find useful, you can collect it." Duan Wenjun added.
Li Deming's face became extremely solemn.
He moved his lips a few times, as if he wanted to say something.
However, it was not said out loud after all.
"Among the brothers from the guard camp I brought out this time, several of them used to be scouts in the border army. How about you take them north together?" Duan Wenjun asked again.
"Okay!" Li Deming nodded without any further hesitation.
