Under the dark night, there is a thunderstorm in the forest.
When the lightning flashed, the night sky was like a huge silver-white aluminum cover, and the trees in the mountains flickered in and out, making it difficult to distinguish between north and south. The three people were like headless flies scurrying around in the rain.
Because the previous conversation in the cave seemed to have formed an invisible barrier between the three of them, no one spoke during the entire journey, and it was extremely quiet.
Qin Huairou was being carried by Lin Wanjie, and her remaining consciousness left her with no time to worry about the differences between men and women, let alone some of the side effects of the "Jade Girl's Heart Sutra".
Lu Waner led the way, groping along the way, and finally found the correct direction.
We saw many camps along the way. Although the White Lotus Sect's stronghold was not found, the entire Daqing Mountain was sealed off.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the sky was still gloomy and the thunderstorm continued.
But I could vaguely feel that the sky was clearing up, but my eyes were hidden behind the clouds and I couldn't tell what time it was.
The three of them were already in a state of embarrassment and were soaked by the rain. Lin Wanjie was a little worried about the woman on his back.
Although Lin Wanjie was disgusted with this person and even wished for her death, this woman must be the key to exchanging the first lady. If she died of cold, it would be difficult.
After not hearing Qin Huairou speak for a long time, Lin Wanjie shook his body: "Hey, are you okay?"
"Ahem..." A light cough came from behind, "Don't worry, you won't die."
"Master, we are here. The village gate is in front of us."
Lu Waner returned from the front and pointed behind a curtain of morning mist and rain.
It turns out to be a cottage hidden in Daqing Mountain!
There are two guard towers at the entrance of the village, and bandits are watching from above.
The door to the cottage is closed, and you can't see anything going on inside.
"Let's go." Lu Waner was a little anxious. She was also worried about her master's injury.
Lin Wan nodded and was about to take action when Qin Huairou said from behind: "You're just going to die like this?"
"Death?" Lin Wanjie was a little strange.
"Big man, do you really think that if you teach me, they will let you go?"
"Otherwise? Your Excellency is the leader of the White Lotus Sect. Can't you be replaced by an ordinary civilian woman?"
"Hmph! Go over now, they will rescue me, then arrest you, and lock you up with the eldest lady."
Lin Wanjie frowned, he knew this was a possibility, but he believed that Lu Waner, if Lu Waner was the guarantee, he should be able to get the eldest lady back.
Lu Wan'er met Lin Wanjie's eyes and knew what the big man was thinking at a glance.
I blushed inexplicably. Could it be that I had a clear understanding?
Lu Wan'er gathered her thoughts and pretended to be serious: "This White Lotus Sect team is not under Master's control. Whether they will give face and keep their promise... I can't guarantee it."
Qin Huairou said: "To tell you the truth, the arrest of the eldest wife of the Xiao family was an impromptu idea of these people. It was just because they saw me severely inflicting heavy losses on Prince Jing's palace and a group of masters, they seized the opportunity to cause chaos in Hangzhou City. They finally managed to How can you let go of the fat sheep you got so easily? Not to mention not giving Wan'er face, even if I come here in person, I don't know if they will add insult to injury when they see my injury."
"You...why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lin Wanjie was a little annoyed, feeling like he was being set up by two women.
"Big man, what you said in last night's conversation makes sense! I didn't want to reveal this to you at first. I wanted you to throw yourself into a trap. But now, I have changed my mind and am willing to help you."
"How to help? And you have already lied to me, can I still trust you?" Lin Wanjie's expression was serious, but his hostility was still there.
"Now that Master has said it, he will never lie to you, believe it or not!" After receiving the telepathy, Lu Waner became full of resentment towards Lin Wanjie, and her words were mostly discordant.
"Put me down." Qin Huairou said lightly.
"Is it okay?" Lin Wanjie was a little worried.
"Put me down!"
After Lin Wanjie put Qin Huairou down, he found that instead of aggravating his injuries in the rain, he had recovered a lot. His face was redder and he seemed to be in much better spirits.
Qin Huairou looked at Lin Wanjie and said seriously: "If you want to rescue Mrs. Xiao, no one can help you except me."
Lin Wanjie squinted his eyes and did not respond.
"Don't believe it, even if the officers and soldiers and people from Prince Jing's Palace come to find you, there will inevitably be a fierce battle. But before the battle, the people here will kill Mrs. Xiao first. You have to be prepared and look forward to the evening of the Palace and the Palace. Find it bit by bit. And even if the Xiao family collects enough 100,000 taels of silver, it will be useless. After receiving the money, they will continue to coerce and force the Xiao family to take the money. Until the Xiao family can no longer give out the money, they will still kill them. Mrs. Xiao."
"How... how could this be possible?" Lu Waner couldn't believe it, but since these words came from her master's mouth, she couldn't help but not believe it.
"Wan'er, you are still young and don't understand how complicated the internal structure of the White Lotus Sect is. The history of the White Lotus Sect is older than that of the Great Xia Kingdom. If it were just as simple as it seemed, the White Lotus Sect would have been destroyed long ago. For To maintain the operation of the White Lotus Sect, it is absolutely not enough to rely on chivalry, robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Someone must do some shady things, so there will be a group of people within the White Lotus Sect who will use any means to achieve their goals."
"Then...then all Master's previous teachings were lies?"
Qin Huairou looked at Lu Wan'er seriously and said in a deep voice: "Master can't control others, he can only restrain his disciples! You must uphold justice. As long as you have greater power and gain more support in the White Lotus Sect, one day The sun can break the darkness within the White Lotus Sect."
Not to mention, even Lin Wanjie felt a little touched by these words.
When I look at Qin Huairou again, she really looks like an outsider.
"Ahem..." A sudden cough brought Lin Wanjie back from his thoughts. Qin Huairou frowned and said: "People here will be afraid of Fairy Lingbo in his heyday, but not a Fairy Lingbo who has lost all his skills. I think. If we want to save Mrs. Xiao, we need to spend some time recuperating her body. Although she cannot restore her skills, at least her complexion must be such that no one can see any flaws."
Lin Wanjie roughly guessed what Qin Huairou meant and nodded: "What should we do now?"
"Find a dry and uninhabited place. I'm going to do some exercises to heal my injuries. When the rain stops, we can go to the mountain village again."
So the three of them turned around and walked down the mountain soon, and found a cave again.
There are obvious signs of human habitation in this cave, and there are also animal skins, crossbows and other things placed there. It was obviously left by a hunter.
The three of them didn't think much, they just stayed away for a while so as not to bump into anyone.
The longer time passes, the more obvious Qin Huairou's physical recovery becomes. Apart from being soaked all over, there is no visible change in appearance.
Qin Huairou picked up the animal skin on the ground, gestured for a while and said: "Wan'er, use the animal skin to make a curtain to separate the door, and master will adjust the breath inside. Lin Wanjie, you come in with me."
"I?"
