When Xu Qingchen rushed back to the Thorn Gate, he learned that Agarwood had been in a coma for several days.
What's more, in the door master's study, several hall masters looked sad.
Feng Yao was old and his body could no longer bear it. He coughed a few times and said, "That's it for now. Regarding the sect master..."
Xu Qingchen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "We can't let outsiders know."
Everyone in the room looked at Xu Qingchen. Everyone was surprised that he could say such words.
Xu Qingchen took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and said, "The jade pendant was given to me personally by the sect master. She had already anticipated that her body would suffer such a fate, so she specifically warned me that if she fell into a coma, or... Die, let us keep it a secret."
Feng Yao frowned slightly. He knew that these words were false, but he did not expose them.
Someone asked: "Why? What's the point of doing this?"
Xu Qingchen replied: "The person the disciple wants to deal with is Li Fengyao. She is now the leader of the martial arts alliance. If people know her current situation, this alliance leader will be meaningless. And to deal with Li Fengyao, this identity is particularly crucial .”
This was also a lie, but everyone believed it.
Feng Yao stopped talking, and Xu Qingchen's words became a golden rule in the whole room.
"Everyone, this is a critical period. We must not let outsiders know about the situation of the sect leader. I hope you all know what is going on."
After the meeting ended, Xiong San did not leave, nor did Xu Qingchen. He knew that Xiong San had something to say.
Xu Qingchen looked at Xiong San and asked, "Third brother, is there anything else?"
Xiong San hesitated for a while and asked, "Qingchen, are you going a little too far by doing this?"
Xu Qingchen asked, "Do you know how the sect master got to where he is today?"
Xiong San shook his head.
"The owner's surname is not Shen, nor is she Chen Xiangzhi, her name is Chen Minyue."
Xiong San was a little confused: "Chen Minyue?"
"Yes, she was the granddaughter of Chen Ling, the head of the Yangzhou Huwei Escort Agency. The Huwei Escort Agency was deeply involved with the Yangzhou Li family. They were also implicated back then, and their entire family was massacred... She was rescued by Shaolin Master Zhicheng, and was killed by the old master Qiao. Sent to Penglai. She wanted revenge, but unfortunately she didn't have any martial arts talent and couldn't learn martial arts."
Xiong San became even more confused: "But the sect leader's martial arts skills are unparalleled. Even the two little masters of Xianren Hall are no match for her."
"That's exactly what I'm going to say next. Li Fengyao found her and gave her a medicine that made her internal strength several times that of ordinary people. Of course, there was a price."
"The price...is this what it is now?"
"Yes, Li Fengyao has a heart of snakes and will do whatever it takes to get revenge. The sect master is just her victim. After the battle in Chang'an, the sect master no longer wanted to obey her orders, so she cut off the sect master's medicine. Because I might take over in the future Thorny Gate, she poisoned Linghan again. Third brother, do you understand?"
Xiong San nodded and said, "I understand."
After speaking, he looked at Xu Qingchen and asked, "Do you know what Linghan is doing recently?"
Xu Qingchen shook his head: "I don't know."
"A few days ago, Dr. Xiaoya from Yaoxian Valley died. Doctor Xiaoya, right? After the death of Dr. Han Liang, she was the one who made the decision in Yaoxian Valley. I heard that she died miserably and was tortured to death. The bodies are all gone.”
Xu Qingchen's body shook slightly.
Xiong San continued: "I heard that it was the Jade Fairy from Xianren Hall who did it... Qingchen, the Jade Fairy appeared in two places at that time. Dr. Xiaoya from Yaoxian Valley should not have done it, but she He didn’t deny it, he seemed to have taken the matter off his shoulders.”
Xu Qingchen lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said, "I understand... Third brother, can you send someone to find Linghan? Just send your people."
"Okay, what about after we find it?"
"Persuade her to come back."
"good."
After chatting with Xiong San, Xu Qingchen did not go back, but went to Chen Xiangzhi's bedroom.
There are two in Agarwood's room
A maid is waiting on her, and now she is always by her side.
Naturally, no one dared to stop Xu Qingchen where he wanted to go. He looked at the agarwood branches inside through the bed gauze.
Agarwood's current appearance is terrifying, even more like a dead person than Yang Fan's before. Black blood vessels appeared from her neck to her cheeks, like a layer of black spider webs on her skin. Moreover, where there are cobwebs, the skin also shows signs of falling off. Come to think of it, parts of her body are almost out of human form.
Xu Qingchen suddenly felt a little dizzy, and a sense of guilt quietly surged up in his heart.
He has killed many people these days, but he has never had this emotion during this period. Seeing the agarwood branches now, for some reason, this emotion is difficult to suppress.
Xu Qingchen really wanted to kill the agarwood branch with a sword, but now she was suffering while living.
He squeezed his sleeve tightly. There was a small porcelain bottle with a pill in it.
…
Among the Zhang family's ancestral tombs outside Yangzhou City, a new tomb looks out of place.
Logically speaking, if the man in the family is not dead, the body of the woman cannot be put into the ancestral grave. However, Zhang Yuan did not follow these traditions, and no one in the Zhang family could be his master. He stubbornly put the grave of his beloved wife into the ancestral grave. middle.
Linghan knelt in front of the grave, put the paper money in her hand into the brazier in front of her, and murmured something.
"Sister-in-law, do you think there is something wrong with all men? They always think that they are doing good for others and act like they are great. I didn't agree with you when you wanted to marry your senior brother. He is so careless and careless, how can he be worthy of you? I At that time, I thought, if I get married, I must marry a man with a delicate mind... Sigh... He is not as good as my senior brother. Sister-in-law, maybe it is because of Qingqia, I have become very strange now, I thought, I I will cry miserably in front of your grave, but I won’t be able to shed a single tear. These days, I will always get angry, laugh, and shed tears because of little things...I won’t always be like this in the future, right?”
Ayana felt a little irritated and simply threw all the paper money in her hand into the brazier. But she became more and more irritated. She stood up, kicked over the brazier, and yelled at Jin Huayan's tombstone: "How could this be possible?! Died without saying a word! Senior brother is an idiot! Xu Qingchen is an idiot. ! Master died early! Who do you want me to complain to now?! What should I do?!"
After yelling, Ayana squatted on the ground, hugged her knees and cried, her long-awaited tears finally falling.
"Sister-in-law, what should I do? If I stay like this for the rest of my life... so uncertain, am I better off dead?"
Linghan cried for a long time, and she didn't leave the Zhang family's ancestral grave until the sky turned dark.
Entering Yangzhou City, Yangzhou is still crowded and very prosperous at this time. She walked a little blindly, not knowing where she was going.
Stopping in front of a fortune-telling stall, Linghan looked at the fortune-teller with a grimace on his face.
Maybe the business was not so good. When he saw a woman stopping in front of his stall, the fortune teller immediately changed his face to a smile.
"Girl, do you want to tell your fortune?"
Ayahan sat on the stool in front of the stall. Not far behind her was the Li family.
"Sir, I would like to make a fortune."
The fortune teller smiled and asked: "Is it a marriage fortune?" Most girls of this age are fortune tellers.
Linghan shook her head and replied: "Forget it, will it go well or not?"
"What's going on?"
Ayana said seriously: "I can't tell you. If I tell you, you won't let me go."
"Then I'm not very sure."
"Just do the math."
The fortune teller said to himself: It’s just making money anyway, it’s not in vain.
The husband counted with his fingers, and after a while, he said, "Suki, girl, if you want to do something, do it right away. I guarantee it will happen."
Ayana also smiled, very happily: "Thank you, sir, for your kind words."
Linghan dropped a piece of broken silver, shook out the two knives from her sleeves, turned around and walked towards Li's house.
The fortune teller was frightened and flashed his knife in the street. This girl
Mother... isn't she going to kill someone?
He guessed correctly.
Li Fengyao was not in Li's house in Yangzhou. There were only some of her servants in the house, and there was no resistance.
Linghan rushed into the house with two swords and chopped down everyone he saw. After twenty years, the Li family once again heard loud cries.
An hour later, Linghan, who was covered in blood, walked out of the house and turned to look at Li's house, which was in flames. Linghan felt that the anger in her heart had been extinguished a lot.
…
"After the incident in Yaoxian Valley, both Gongshu and Nuyuan were attacked to varying degrees. Gongshu suffered the worst, with several strongholds being massacred. The murderer's methods were very simple and no one was left alive." A young man said solemnly. With.
Li Fengyao sat in front of the low table, staring down at the files on the table. The history room was still dark, and there were still many people walking in front of the bookshelves in a hurry.
She raised her head and looked at the young man beside her and asked, "Are you sure these things were done by one person?"
"I'm pretty sure, I've already informed them to step up their defenses."
"Hmph," Li Fengyao sneered, "If there is one of you as smart as Li Fenglan, or as smart as the three boys from the Bai family, I won't be so panicked."
The young man hurriedly knelt down and said, "Miss, calm down."
"Get up...where is my daughter?"
"Miss Sun...they are heading towards Luoyang."
"Send more people to surround them and let her have some memory."
"yes."
"How's it going at the Thorn Gate?"
"Xu Qingchen from the Thorn Gate does everything right. He has already cleared the hidden piles we buried around the Thorn Gate. Do you think we should send more people?"
"Trash," Li Fengyao finally got a little angry, "You can't handle anything, you can't guess anything. What a bunch of trash! You can't guess why Yaoxian Valley, Gongshu, and Nuyuan were attacked. ?」
"Little... stupid..."
"The only person who knows that Gongshu and Nuyuan are from the Li family is Agarwood. Today's Agarwood is probably not even half alive. Who do you think did it?"
These words awakened the young man, and he hurriedly said: "It's... Xu Qingchen's person."
"His little wife has gone missing after leaving the Thorn Gate some time ago. Find her and kill her. If people spread the news, it will be said that Agarwood's life is not long."
"I understand, little one."
"Go down."
After his men left, Li Fengyao rubbed the center of her brows. It felt so uncomfortable to have no one available to her.
