Aunt Shan asked in confusion: "Why did you think of coming to seek refuge with the ruthless judge?"
Shen Zhongyi sighed and said: "I was worried that various sects and gangs in the southeast were seeking revenge. After secretly listening to the conversation between Shangguan Mie and Situ Meng, I went to see Shangguan Mie alone. I came here on his recommendation."
Nangong Haotian still wanted to catch up with Shangguan Xiaowan. After listening to Shen Zhongyi's conversation, he felt that he knew most of the things he didn't know before, so he said solemnly: "Based on what Deacon Shen said, we can guess that Situ
Meng did not leave Jiyun Pass immediately after he recovered from his injury."
Aunt Shan nodded hurriedly and said: "Young master is right, she must have secretly inquired and found out our whereabouts. It wasn't until we went to Langsha that she went to Brownstone Valley and kidnapped Mrs. Wei."
Liu Qianwen said hurriedly: "But why did she go to Donghai Langsha again, kill many martial arts guards, and burn down the transfer station?"
Nangong Haotian speculated: "I think she must have got the news that we were going to Langsha in Brownstone Valley, and then went to wait for an opportunity to attack us. Unexpectedly, we had already gone to Sanjian Island."
Aunt Shan said seriously: "No, my old lady thinks that she has already found out that we have gone to Langsha. The reason why she rushed to the East China Sea is of course to wait for an opportunity to attack the young master. But the real purpose, I think, is to frame the blame.
To Miss Xiaowan."
Liu Qianwen agreed: "Yes, this can be judged by the fact that she is dressed in bright red and has a red silk tassel on her sword."
Wei Xiaoying said in confusion: "But the female deacons here are all wearing red clothes and have red-tasseled swords on their backs!"
Nangong Haotian replied: "I think it's just a coincidence. Situ Meng aims to cause a frame-up. She doesn't even know that the female deacons on the southwest branch are all wearing red..."
Having said this, he paused, stood up suddenly, and continued: "Okay, Deacon Shen can go back, we have to chase Miss Xiaowan..."
Shen Zhongyi, who stood up immediately, suddenly said respectfully as if he had some realization: "Oh, do you know that Miss Shangguan is not the biological daughter of the chief of Shangguan branch?"
Aunt Shan said angrily: "Everyone in the world doesn't know this, and you still have to say it now."
Shen Zhongyi couldn't help but shook his head and said anxiously: "I mean, does the young master know who the biological parents of Miss Shangguan are..."
"You know?" Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that Shen Zhongyi even knew this.
When Shen Zhong asked, he suddenly hesitated again and said: "My subordinates didn't hear very clearly at that time, but they seemed very excited and sad when they spoke..."
Aunt Shan couldn't help but asked angrily: "Who talks in a careless manner? Who is so excited and sad when talking?"
Shen Zhongyi patted his head in annoyance and said, "I'm talking about Shangguan Mi."
"What did he say?" Nangong Haotian was also anxious. If he could find Shangguan Xiaowan's parents, then Shangguan Xiaowan would definitely forgive him.
Shen Zhongyi said with some hesitation: "Shangguan Mi told Situ Meng at that time that Miss Shangguan was the daughter of one of his enemies..."
"And -" Aunt Shan said in a deep voice disapprovingly: "This is strange. Since she is the daughter of his enemy, why did he adopt her?"
Shen Zhongyi explained with a frown: "At that time, Gan Lihua, who was also eavesdropping, touched me with her hand for some reason. When I looked at her, I didn't hear clearly."
Liu Qianwen asked with concern: "So, did Gan Lihua hear it?"
Shen Zhong shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know whether she heard the message, but she paid attention to this issue. Maybe she knows something?"
Liu Qianwen looked at Nangong Haotian and said seriously: "We found sister Xiaowan, we might as well go to Jiyunguan again, maybe that Gan Lihua heard clearly."
Nangong Haotian nodded solemnly.
Aunt Shan looked at Shen Zhongyi and complained: "You are as stupid as a pig. You didn't hear clearly about such an important matter."
Shen Zhongyi smiled awkwardly and said: "I didn't hear clearly who Miss Xiaowan's father was, but I heard her mother..."
"Who is her mother?" everyone asked in unison.
Shen Zhong frowned and hesitated for a long time, then said: "It seems to be Lan Qingwen... However, I only heard the sounds of these three words."
After hearing this, Nangong Haotian looked at Aunt Shan in confusion.
Aunt Shan was seen frowning, as if deep in thought, and kept muttering to herself: "Lan... Qing... Wen..."
Liu Qianwen asked anxiously: "Aunt Shan, have you heard that there was such a heroine named Lan in the martial arts in the past?"
Aunt Shan composed herself and said: "This Blue Lady may be a martial arts heroine from beyond the Great Wall or from the Guandong area, or she may simply be a rich lady who doesn't know martial arts."
But Shen Zhongyi suddenly said: "No, she must be a chivalrous woman."
"How can I see it?"
Shen Zhong said: "Because the chief of Shangguan branch liked Miss Xiaowan's mother very much, the chief of Shangguan branch killed her father out of jealousy."
Nangong Haotian couldn't help but think of Shangguan Mi's entanglement with his mother Li Yunji, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice: "It's really despicable and shameless."
Liu Qianwen pulled Nangong Haotian's clenched hands and said, "This may be the reason why Shangguan Mi adopted sister Xiaowan."
"No, according to what Shangguan Mie said at the time, it was Miss Xiaowan's mother who tried to throw Miss Shangguan down the mountain stream before committing suicide by hitting the rock. It was Shangguan Mie who flew to save Miss Xiaowan."
"Why did he save her?" Aunt Shan was a little confused.
Shen Zhong said: "Shangguan Mie didn't know why he wanted to save Miss Xiaowan, but Shangguan Mie said at the time that it was because after he caught Miss Xiaowan, instead of crying, Miss Xiaowan smiled cutely."
Liu Qianwen couldn't help but sigh sadly and said: "This is really the cause and effect that Buddhism talks about, sin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two cheerful and vigorous voices suddenly sounded from the edge of the southeast cliff, "Young Master, Young Master, there is good news..."
Nangong Haotian and the other five were startled when they heard the sound, and hurriedly followed the sound. They saw silhouettes of people on both sides coming at full speed. They turned out to be Ma Jinbao, the master of Zhulong Hall, and Huang Yifu, the master of Zhulong Hall.
Ma Jinbao and the two came to him, saluted hurriedly and said: "Young Master, we have news about Mrs. Wei."
Wei Xiaoying couldn't help but asked excitedly: "Really?"
Ma Jinbao said: "Really, because when the lady of the chief rudder came to this place, Snake Valley, she sent Deacon Qiu, the wife of Altar Master Li, and another deacon to go to Jiyunguan to find a woman named Gan Lihua...
"
Shen Zhongyi asked excitedly: "Mrs. Wei is under house arrest at Gan Lihua's house?"
Huang Yifu was the first to say, "Yes, Deacon Qiu went there. When he came back, Master Ji told her that the chief helmsman of the branch was dead. The young master was looking for Mrs. Wei, so she went to see Beizhi and Hall Master Ma."
Wei Xiaoying burst into tears and asked, "But do you want Gan Lihua to let my mother go?"
Ma Jinbao said anxiously: "No, I'm asking Deacon Qiu and his two men to go and execute Mrs. Wei."
"What a vicious heart." Everyone couldn't help but shudder, this kind of femme fatale woman was really outrageous.
Ma Jinbao said: "One more thing is that the other female deacon has prepared her horse and left first..."
Aunt Shan exclaimed: "Then send someone to chase him quickly!"
Ma Jinbao and Huang Yifu said anxiously: "The lower-ranking officers have sent out a large group of red warriors, divided into four groups, and they are already chasing them."
Nangong Haotian looked at Shen Zhongyi and ordered hurriedly: "Deacon Shen, you and we will rush to the inn immediately. You will accompany Miss Wei, and we will travel at starry night to Ganlihua's house in Jiyunguan. We must rescue Mrs. Wei."
Come down."
Shen Zhongyi asked anxiously: "Where are you, young master?"
Nangong Haotian said anxiously: "Miss Liu, Aunt Shan, I, we have to rush to Hengshan Mountain at starry night to find Miss Xiaowan. If we catch up with Miss Xiaowan on the way, we will also rush to Jiyunguan Pass."
Wei Xiaoying couldn't wait to rush to Jiyunguan, crying and urging: "Brother Haotian, let's go quickly!"
Nangong Haotian immediately handed over to Ma Jinbao and said: "Master Ma, Master Huang, I entrust you with everything in this place. I hope I can hear news about you two in time."
Ma Jinbao and Huang Yifu hurriedly clasped their fists and said respectfully: "I respectfully send you off to my young master."
Nangong Haotian said that they would meet later, so he, Liu Qianwen, Wei Xiaoying, Aunt Shan, and Shen Zhong started Qinggong, wearing the stars and crescent moon, and galloped away towards the true north.
…
The golden breeze is refreshing and the osmanthus is fragrant. This is the most pleasant time of the year. However, within a hundred miles of Beiyue Hengshan Mountain, snowflakes are unusually floating!
Some people say that the auspicious snow falls early, which is a sign of good harvests; others say that strange phenomena appear in the sky, and all souls suffer; some even say that the four seasons are abnormal, and the main weapons are bloody!
The cold wind was blowing, snowflakes were flying, and the wilderness was completely silent. There was no trace of people in the fields or on the roads. Only the occasional cry of hungry crows foraging for food could be heard, adding to the solemn atmosphere.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of galloping horses in the distance, and the sound of hoofbeats was chaotic. It was obvious that there was more than one horse, and the owner of the horse was still in a hurry.
As the sound of hoofbeats approached, at the end of the official road leading to the southern foot of Hengshan Mountain, three fast horses were galloping towards this side, facing the cold wind and snowflakes!
There is a man on the horse running at the front in the center. He is about 20 years old. He has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and red lips. He is dressed in a white shirt. He is a handsome young man with a strong spirit and a reclusive sparkle in his eyes.
