Shangguan Haonan calmed down: "Uncle Wu, just tell me what you want."]
"If Shangguan Haonan and the others are willing to follow the order to kill Lu Fengchun, then they are loyal to you; on the contrary, if they are either secretly treasonous or just helpless, it would be a pity to abandon them." Cai Zhaodao, "That's it."
"The one who knows me is Zhao Zhao." Mu Qingyan stood up slowly.
He was only wearing a coarse robe that Cai Zhao bought casually on the street. However, he had bright eyebrows, sharp and clear eyes, and a tall and tall figure. As soon as he stood up, the cave seemed much smaller, and an oppressive aura emerged spontaneously.
Cai Zhao: "How long do you plan to keep this from me?"
Mu Qingyan looked indifferent: "It would be better if Zhao Zhao didn't know about these dirty and dirty things." The implication was that he had no intention of letting Cai Zhao know about it.
The sunlight penetrates through the gaps in the rocks, and through several turns, it ripples like waves.
Cai Zhao nodded, "Okay, then you have a good rest, I'll go back soon." As she said that, she turned around.
"Since you are going to abandon me, why did you save me before?" The man behind him yelled hastily.
Cai Zhao slowly turned around: "Your trap has been designed a long time ago, and the thieves of each faction have been bribed before. As soon as you 'disappear', You Guanyue will pretend to be panicked and send troops to Beichenliu." It was difficult, so I took advantage of the situation and took action against the family members of various factions. Who would have thought that something would really happen to you, and now the lie became real, disrupting the entire plan. Although Lu Fengchun was induced to rebel, You Guanyue and others were also in chaos. "
"They are now attacking the families of various factions after they heard the news that you were captured. It will take more than half a month to go back and forth. By the time they get the hostages and rush to rescue you, it will be already It’s too late. Three days ago, the pursuers of various factions gradually decreased. I guess it was You Guanyue and the others who finally arrived at Suchuan.”
[The horses are galloping on the straight road, and the yellow sand is rolling.
Beichen's factions were rushing towards the east bank of Suchuan. Suddenly they heard several more horsemen and horses running towards them from the opposite side. They hurriedly reined in their horses and stopped in front of everyone. The horses' hooves were raised high and the yellow sand dispersed. The leader among the horses was A handsome young man with a smiling face.
The smiling young man raised his hand and threw a cloth bag over without saying anything. A disciple used the scabbard to open the cloth bag from a distance, and saw several items such as long swords hanging inside. After verifying that there were no traps, the disciple held the cloth bag in front of the leaders.
"This, this, this..." Yang Heying screamed first. He had already recognized the golden lock and gold bracelet of his only son and his concubine's golden phoenix hairpin in the bag.
Zhou Zhixian held two jade earrings of different styles in her hands, her face changed greatly: "My mother? And my aunt?"
Song Shijun immediately realized that something was wrong. When he looked at Budai, he felt dizzy - those two long swords were not the personal swords of his two sons, so who did they belong to?
"Master Song, Master Yang, Lady Zhou, and Daozhang Li, Xiao Ke is being polite. It's hot in summer and you're sweating profusely. Why do you heroes have to work so hard? Why don't you go back and rest." The smiling young man was very happy. He said politely, "If you masters still don't believe it, I'll bring you something else later, fingers, toes, noses, ears, whatever."
Yang Heying was about to scold, but Song Shijun grabbed him: "I have three sons, and two are gone and one is left. How many sons do you have?" He lowered his voice and said, "You injured your body a few years ago, and then I can’t give birth either.”
Yang Heying was too embarrassed and refused to speak.
Song Shijun turned his head: "Sister Zhixian, what do you say?"
Zhou Zhixian was at a loss: "My mother, my mother, she, she is weak and can't stand the bumps...this..." Her father died young and she grew up dependent on her frail mother. The love between mother and daughter is more important than life.
"Okay, okay, I get it." Song Shijun waved his hands irritably, "Let's retreat now and discuss the long term with those who are watching and hiding in Taichu. We won't pursue it now!"]
"Yes, if you hadn't saved me, or if You Guanyue had arrived, I would have been crippled." Mu Qingyan looked indifferent, "There is nothing I can do. The crime Qi Yunke accused is really despicable. It concerns my father's reputation. I was really confused at the time and fell into the trap in a moment of impatience..."
Cai Zhao thought for a while and felt that it was better to make it clear, so she turned around and walked back. Seeing that the knot of the bandage on Mu Qingyan's chest exposed through his clothes was untied, she couldn't help but walk closer to tie it.
Mu Qingyan lowered his head and saw the girl's soft bun on top of her head, and her heart was filled with confusion.
"My father was poisoned by Mrs. Sun, but you endured it for three years before attacking Nie Zhe..." Cai Zhao picked out one end of the bandage and circled it, "No, you didn't fall for the trap because your father's reputation was damaged. .”
She raised her head and said, "You were looking for me. You wanted to tell me clearly as soon as possible and tell me that your father is not such a despicable person. That's why you were captured by mistake."
The girl's eyes were clean and clear, like undisturbed calm lake water. Mu Qingyan stretched out his arms to wrap around her. His arms were strong, and the slender muscles bulged slightly. He pressed his lips against the girl's slender neck, and finally buried them into the delicate and gentle neck.
"I know you can't let me go, and I can't let you go. We can't be separated." He murmured, "We agreed to depend on each other from now on. You clearly nodded and agreed..."
Cai Zhao felt extremely sore in his heart, but still pushed him a few inches away, "I just want to ask you two things. First, does Hu Fengge have second thoughts about you? Tell the truth, okay?"
Mu Qingyan's eyes darkened, and the warmth on his face slowly cooled, "No, she treats Lu Chengnan like a father and a brother, so she hates Nie Hengcheng to the core, and despises Nie Zhe as a person. She is loyal to me and has no second thoughts."
There was a question in the girl's clean eyes.
"But she has too much affection for Hui Yin." Mu Qingyan heard his voice tremble slightly, "I have made insinuations several times, but she has no doubt about Hui Yin. Lu Fengchun has seventeen or eighty eyes, I We can't let Hu Fengge ruin the plan, so we didn't mention it at all."
After saying this, he waited for Cai Zhao's accusation, but the girl nodded and asked, "Secondly, if Shangguan Haonan fights to the death to put down the rebellion, he and his subordinates who are as loyal to you, they If we fight alone, how many people will die in the end?"
Mu Qingyan let go of his arms around the girl, with a arrogant and cruel look on his face: "But only in this way can we sort out the good and the bad, separate the loyal and the traitor, and live in peace in the Paradise Palace."
"Nie's uncle and nephew have been operating in the church for forty or fifty years, and their interpersonal relationships are intricate. Purifying church affairs is easy, but purifying people's hearts is difficult. God knows one day a traitor who cares about Nie's kindness will pop up and plot against me. There is no room for sneaking on the side of the bed. However, I cannot massacre the surrendered believers for no reason..."
He gritted his teeth and puffed up his cheeks slightly, "Hu Fengge is blind and falls in love with a hypocrite. Shangguan Haonan can't pass this test because he has poor abilities. What's my fault?"
Cai Zhao looked at him quietly: "So, their deaths are also part of your plan?"
Mu Qingyan's eyes were gloomy: "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. Zhao Zhao, I hope you understand that the throne is made of bones, and power is poured with blood. How can there be peace in the world filled with flowers?"
"My aunt said there was." Cai Zhao tilted his head slightly, as if recalling, "She was just one step away from succeeding."
"In the end, it didn't work out. My ancestors were buried in the loess, and their great ambitions were reduced to smoke, but the world is still the same." Mu Qingyan looked indifferent, "Zhaozhao, you have seen your aunt wither with your own eyes, you should understand what I mean. way of doing."
Cai Zhao felt desolate in his heart: "Yes, I have tried so many times for my aunt, but it's not worth it. I don't think my aunt did anything wrong. At that time, under the Paradise Palace, if Hu Fengge hadn't turned against us, we would have been He died in Han Yisu's trap. Mu Qingyan, it's not that you have no way to get rid of Hu Fengge, you just don't want to risk alerting the snake."
"But it's worth taking some risks for someone who saved your life. My aunt also fell in love with a bad guy, but it's not her fault. The same is true for Hu Fengge. And Shangguan Haonan, and those who are loyal to their oaths My subordinates...you shouldn't treat human life with such contempt, it's too violent and cruel."
Mu Qingyan sneered angrily: "Disrespecting human life? Violent and cruel? I have always been this kind of person. Before I met you, I have been this kind of person for a long time. Do you know it now?! Humph, it seems that Qi Yunke should let Qi Yunke It’s better for them to cripple me so that I won’t become a disaster in the future—why save me!”
Cai Zhao approached him and tried to pull his sleeves, but he forcefully shook him away.
"I know your plan, but it's just because I helped you and saved you. Now that you have saved me, I will repay you once and you will not owe me anything in the future. Humph, Cai Nvxia has done a good job in settling her accounts. !”
Mu Qingyan's face was frighteningly green, but his eyes were stained with wisps of blood. He was domineering and desperate, "It's useless if it's useless. Anyway, I've been destined to die like this since I was a child. I don't need your pity!"
Cai Zhao pulled at his sleeve again, but this time he stubbornly held on to prevent him from being thrown away.
Mu Qingyan shouted angrily and loudly: "What on earth are you going to do?! Just leave if you want, I won't humble myself and beg you! I..." When he turned around, he saw that the girl's face was full of tears. He couldn't help but be stunned.
Cai Zhao choked up and couldn't speak, "You are so strong, afraid of the dark and fire, but you have a profound cultivation, and you still worry about gains and losses every day, and are suspicious of ghosts and ghosts. If you become a disabled person, how can you live...how can you live!"
Mu Qingyan felt sad for a while - the only father in the world who never disliked him was gone, so who else would care about how he lived.
Cai Zhao looked up at him, "I believe that without Qi Chong Qi Hua Wan, You Guanyue and the others would not betray you; you can find loyal tribesmen without the temptation of life and death."
Her eyes filled with tears and her voice was hoarse, "I know you suffered a lot when you were a child. I saved you this time. I just hope you can believe this."
Mu Qingyan's heart felt as soft as being poured into a pool of water. He pulled the girl into his arms and hugged her tightly with all his strength, as if she was the only thing he had. He whispered in a low voice, "Don't leave. After this time, I will give You Guanyue and the others the antidote, and I will also learn to trust others, okay, okay..."
Cai Zhao felt bursts of burning pain in his chest, so painful that it was almost difficult to speak. She smiled and nodded, tears falling slowly, "I believe it, I believe it. But, I want to go home."
Mu Qingyan was filled with hatred. He pushed the girl away with all his strength and laughed sternly, "After saying so many nice things, you still have to leave me in the end! Okay, let's go. If you leave now, I will definitely forget you in the future! Even if Goodbye, we are still strangers, I will keep my word!"
Cai Zhao held back tears, "I'm sorry... I want to go home, I miss home." As she said that, she turned around slowly.
"Cai Zhao! Don't regret it!" Mu Qingyan screamed at her back, her heart raging like a blazing steel knife, resentment and pain spreading crazily throughout her body, "I will not forgive you for leaving me a second time, don't regret it!"
Cai Zhao did not look back and walked out of the cave step by step firmly.
Mu Qingyan felt as if his voice was empty, and he stood there like a puppet, watching the girl leave without looking back, leaving a hole of cold loneliness, so quiet that the world was nothing.
Cai Zhao walked down the mountain in vain steps and got on the dilapidated carriage. She pulled up her sleeves to wipe away her tears, and then drove to Taichu Temple. Along the way, she repeatedly said to herself, 'Don't cry, don't cry, just go home, just go home.'
Traveling day and night, until I was completely exhausted, I could barely drive the figure of that person away from my heart and mind.
When she reached the third town, she half sold the carriage and half gave it away. She bought a good horse and continued on her way, despite the wind and rain. Finally, on the seventh day, I returned to Taichu Temple.
At this time, Taichu Temple was crowded with disciples of the six sects, as well as people from Jianghu who were related to the six sects. Everyone was messily discussing how to rescue the families of each sect from the devil's sect - in fact, someone had secretly contacted the devil's sect's branch. , However, the terrible thing is that it was not Lu Fengchun, the current head of the Demon Cult, who took the people captive, but members of the Mu clan who were unknown where they were.
Qi Yunke and Zhou Zhizhen were traumatized both physically and mentally, and remained silent.
Yang Heying jumped on the ground anxiously, shouting to save people quickly, but no one knew how to save people.
Cai Pingshu and Ning Xiaofeng hid in the room and sighed, recalling how their ancestors responded when a witch appeared in Luoying Valley.
Song Shijun had no choice but to angrily roar and declare: I have long said that Mu Qingyan should not be arrested, why are you unwilling to listen to me!
In this chaos, Cai Zhao's appearance was nothing less than a thunderbolt.
The sharp gazes piercing from all directions like thorny branches were either contemptuous, astonished, fearful, or sarcastic... The small and slender figure walked firmly through the crowd, turning a blind eye.
Qi Lingbo rushed out and slapped Cai Zhao hard.
The force of the slap was so strong that Cai Zhao's face was deflected, and his pink cheeks quickly swelled and turned red.
Qi Lingbo's eyes were red and swollen, and he pointed at Cai Zhao and cursed: "You shameless little bitch, how dare you...how dare you hurt my father! My father treats you as his own daughter and loves you more than he loves me. ! But you shamelessly colluded with the demon sect, and in order to save your lover, you even dared to attack my father. I, I, must kill you!"
As she said that, she pulled out her long sword and was about to strike at Cai Zhao.
"That's enough!" Song Yuzhi drew his sword and jumped over, swinging Qi Lingbo's sword away with a clanging sword. "It's up to the leaders to decide how to deal with her. It's not your turn to take action!"
Qi Lingbo's eyes turned red: "You came to protect her again! Humph, what a pity, she didn't take you seriously at all, she only cared about that demon sect evildoer! Well, I will save her life first, and it will be left to the elders. But I want to avenge my father - whichever arm she hurt my father, I will cut off that arm..."
"Why are you so crazy?! In front of all the heroes in the world, don't embarrass the Qingque Sect!" Song Yuzhi said angrily.
Dai Fengchi drew his sword out of its sheath and said loudly: "This little bitch is not afraid of embarrassment, so what are we afraid of!"
The three senior brothers and sisters were about to quarrel when Cai Zhao suddenly raised his head: "Sister Lingbo, watch out."
Qi Lingbo was stunned.
Cai Zhao picked up a stone from the ground and used his fingertips to pop it out. The small stone drew a rapid curve in the air, bypassed Dai Fengchi who was standing in front of Qi Lingbo, and hit Qi Lingbo's long sword with a bang. .
The blade of the sword buzzed, and Qi Lingbo's wrist was so numb that he could hardly hold the sword.
"What do you want to do?! Do you think...ah!" she screamed.
There was a clear clanging sound all over his body, and Qi Lingbo's long sword was shattered from the tip to the hilt.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Qi Lingbo soon had only a bare sword hilt left in her hand. She was ashamed and annoyed when she heard faint chuckles around her.
Cai Zhao only looked at her sideways, showing such awe that no one dared to scold her.
——Although Qi Lingbo did not use his skills to resist at that time, this long sword was specially made by Yin Qinglian for his beloved daughter. It is also a world-famous weapon. Just a small stone can break a sword that has been tempered for thousands of times into slag. Cai Zhaoxiu As can be imagined.
The glances of all the scumbags around him suddenly became much more restrained.
"Senior Sister Lingbo." Cai Zhao looked at half of his red and swollen cheeks and said calmly, "I slapped you because I was being polite. Don't think of being polite as a blessing. If you dare to speak rudely again, this long sword will be the fate of your arm."
Qi Lingbo knew that he would not get any favors, so he dropped the hilt of his sword angrily and stomped away.
Dai Fengchi said disdainfully: "Sure enough, I have been hanging out with the leader of the Demon Cult for a few more days. He is full of evil spirits and threatens my senior sister. Huh, he is really evil!"
Song Yuzhi felt an unnamed irritation in his heart. He felt that what he had done just now was not enough, and Cai Zhao needed to take action himself to defeat Qi Lingbo - why was he always one step behind! Why can't I be like that demon sect monster who risked his own safety without hesitation, just to see his sweetheart as soon as possible!
At that moment, he swung his sword diagonally and headed straight for the sword in Dai Fengchi's hand. There was a sharp bang, the two swords struck each other, and Dai Fengchi's long sword broke.
Song Yuzhi said coldly: "Second senior brother, if you want to talk again, we senior brothers will come to discuss and discuss."
"Are you threatening me too?" Dai Fengchi said angrily.
"I don't dare, I just suddenly want to compete with my senior brother."
Dai Fengchi had no choice but to run away angrily.
Song Yuzhi protected Cai Zhao and continued to move forward, passing through the layers of disciples of the six sects in different costumes, passing through the blades of eyes woven with malice and contempt, Cai Zhao finally came to the heads of each sect sitting in the hall.
