"We went to Niu's house in the afternoon. Meng'er said that we would have to wait until the second watch to reach Master Tianwai Master's retreat. In order to avoid being rude and disturb us, we slept until the third watch before setting off..."
"If you should rush there right away!" Nangong Haotian sighed, as if fate was always joking with him again, causing so many things every time.
Zhao Ling'er said quietly: "But... when we rushed there, there was no one left!"
Nangong Haotian pondered for a moment and then said to himself: "It's strange! If the master is kidnapped, the Demon Dragon Slayer King is just now threatening me with conditions! Why do we still burn down the stronghold and flee?"
Zhao Ling'er said: "Perhaps it's because the Master was not kidnapped by the Demon Dragon Slayer King!"
"I think so too..." Nangong Haotian said without hesitation: "Besides, Master Tianwai Master has already been alert to Fat Maitreya, and I have treated most of his injuries, so it seems impossible for him to suffer from them.
It’s a poisonous plot!”
Zhao Ling'er glanced at Nangong Haotian in surprise, as if she didn't understand when Nangong Haotian healed the ancestor, but because of her trust in Nangong Haotian, she didn't doubt anything and continued: "We also looked for him nearby at that time.
After searching and waiting for an hour, Meng'er finally guessed that you and the Master must have come to attack Zhou Yuantong's headquarters, so we rushed over!"
After Nangong Haotian pondered for a while, he asked with concern: "What did Sister Chu Meng say again?"
Zhao Ling'er said quietly: "We talked about the Master's granddaughter Xue Bing'er again!"
"What did she say?"
Zhao Ling'er looked at Nangong Haotian's thin body, his hair messed up by the wind, and said resentfully for a long time: "She told us that Xue Bing'er is your fiancée..."
"Did she really say that?" Nangong Haotian couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
"She also said that this marriage was arranged when you were seven or eight years old, and that both Nangong Daxia and Li Nuxia agreed, but you didn't know it..."
Nangong Haotian was stunned. What was supposed to come was coming after all. He first turned around and took a peek at Shangguan Xiaowan on the cliff over there.
I saw Shangguan Xiaowan talking quietly to Liu Qianwen and didn't pay attention to this side.
Gutou and Aunt Shan were both hiding behind a piece of snow rock, watching the tunnel exit in the gap under the cliff. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to be talking about the past and reminiscing about the past.
After Nangong Haotian looked at it, he lowered his voice and asked, "What did Xiaowan mean at that time?"
Zhao Ling'er shook her head and said, "She didn't say anything. She just listened quietly with a smile. She also stopped Aunt Shan from speaking with her eyes."
"What about Sister Liu?"
Zhao Ling'er said: "She rarely speaks, and it's even more difficult for her to say anything about this matter, not to mention that Sister Xiaowan didn't say anything!"
Nangong Haotian glanced at Shangguan Xiaowan secretly, feeling very guilty in his heart. Thinking of Xue Bing'er's decisive decision when she left, she couldn't help but sigh quietly!
When Zhao Ling'er saw her, she asked quietly: "Brother Haotian...you...you seem to be afraid of her!"
Nangong Haotian looked shocked when he heard this, and frowned. Because it was inconvenient to express his gratitude to Shangguan Xiaowan to Zhao Ling'er, he could only ask: "What? What did she do to you?"
Zhao Ling'er hurriedly shook her head and said: "No, she is also very good to me. I call her Sister Xiaowan, and she also calls me Sister Ling'er..."
"What about you? You treat her..." Nangong Haotian turned around and looked at Zhao Linger, with a slight smile on his lips.
"Afraid! I'm especially afraid of her..." Zhao Ling'er said it subconsciously, but when she finished speaking, she seemed to realize something and stuck out her tongue cutely.
Nangong Haotian laughed and asked in surprise: "Why? Isn't she very nice to you?"
Zhao Ling'er sighed faintly: "She is very good to me, but..."
"Isn't that great?" Nangong Haotian rubbed her head and said with a smile.
Zhao Ling'er shook her head and still said quietly: "But...but I am still a little afraid of her! I always feel that she will ask you to order me to leave you...Brother Haotian, will you?"
Nangong Haotian felt very sad when he heard this. He thought about how cheerful, lively, carefree and innocent Zhao Ling'er was when he was in Hengshan.
Now, after a while, I have become taciturn and sentimental, and I don’t even dare to speak loudly!
Why is this happening?
Nangong Haotian didn't need to think deeply to know that she had fallen deeply in love with him. He was deeply afraid that Shangguan Xiaowan would force her to leave him, so he became tolerant and the eldest lady also restrained her temper.
Because Zhao Ling'er knew that Shangguan Xiaowan was kind to her, and Shangguan Xiaowan had the autographed will of her mother, Li Yunji, which prohibited her from marrying any woman except Shangguan Xiaowan.
This power was too great, and the pressure on Zhao Ling'er was also too great, making her worry all the time that Shangguan Xiaowan would expel her.
Because Zhao Linger knows that Shangguan Xiaowan has this right!!!
In particular, Zhao Linger had left Nangong Haotian in anger. She had already tasted the pain of leaving Nangong Haotian, so she was deeply afraid of leaving him, so she was already afraid of Shangguan Xiaowan.
However, Nangong Haotian knew that Shangguan Xiaowan was by no means the kind of girl who had a small belly and could not hold anything. He also firmly believed that as long as other girls were kind and understanding, she would not refuse!
And even if Shangguan Xiaowan refuses, he has no choice but to disobey once. Because Zhao Ling'er, Liu Qianwen, and Chu Meng are all married to him, he cannot give up, so he can only give up Shangguan Xiaowan in name only.
, he is not a heartless person, but he is not irresponsible either.
At the moment of thinking, Nangong Haotian suddenly heard that Zhao Ling'er asked even more sadly and anxiously: "Brother Haotian, can you..." At the end of the sentence, his voice sobbed, and he was obviously crying!
Nangong Haotian was startled and hurriedly looked up and found that the hot tears in Zhao Ling'er's eyes were rolling down like broken pearls, and she was looking at him with sad, desolate eyes filled with despair.
"Sister Ling'er, you think too much, do you think I will? You are all mine now. Even if I ignore Shangguan Xiaowan, I will not ignore you!" Nangong Haotian said with a smile.
As soon as the word ah was uttered, there was a loud bang and a low muffled sound in the stronghold of Zhou Yuantong, the god-headed disciple, followed by the exclamations of Aunt Shan and others!
Nangong Haotian and Zhao Ling'er were startled and hurriedly turned around to check. They saw fire flying in the stronghold of Zhou Yuantong, the god-headed disciple, thick smoke rising into the sky, and making a burning sound.
At this moment, Aunt Shan over there lowered her voice and shouted urgently: "Young master, please come here quickly!"
Nangong Haotian felt something in his heart when he heard that, knowing that the tunnel exit over there had been opened. After thinking about it, he waved his hand towards Zhao Ling'er and said urgently: "Sister Ling'er, let's go there quickly!"
After saying this, he started flying towards the cliff. As he advanced, he found that Shangguan Xiaowan and Liu Qianwen were not looking down the mountain gap, but were looking at him anxiously.
When Nangong Haotian saw this situation, he knew that there was still no movement at the entrance of the tunnel, and the reason Shangguan Xiaowan and Liu Qianwen were looking at him might be because of something else.
Just when he flew up to the cliff, flames were already rising in the entire stronghold of Zhou Yuantong, the god-headed disciple, and thick smoke was rising into the sky!
"Why hasn't the Demon Dragon Slayer King come out yet?" Shangguan Xiaowan said anxiously.
Nangong Haotian glanced at the tunnel entrance in the mountain gap indifferently, and then speculated: "Eighty percent of them escaped from other tunnels!"
Liu Qianwen asked with concern: "There has been no movement over there?"
When Nangong Haotian asked, he immediately thought of Zhao Ling'er beside him. When he looked back, he found that Zhao Ling'er was still standing there without moving. He had to shake his head and said: "Oh, I still asked sister Ling'er to stay over there and monitor..."
But before he finished speaking, the old man came over and said anxiously: "Young Master, it seems that Zhou Yuantong, the Demon Dragon Slayer King and the Godhead Tuozi, may have escaped long ago!"
Shangguan Xiaowan looked at the anxious old head and asked with concern: "Didn't you say that the Demon Dragon Slayer King will not leave easily unless necessary?"
The old man said respectfully: "I think the sky will turn white now, and it will be dawn in more than half an hour. Seeing that the Demon Dragon Slayer King has not been waiting for us for a long time, he may also want to take advantage of the darkness before dawn.
Time leaves."
Nangong Haotian felt that this was very reasonable, so he said: "So, the Demon Dragon Slayer King is in Dazhai?"
The old man speculated: "Logically speaking, the Demon Dragon Slayer King should still be inside!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Qianwen shouted in surprise: "Why did the fire spread so fast?"
Nangong Haotian and the others heard the sound and took a look. They found that within the time of these few words, the entire Dazhai had turned into a sea of fire. Especially the fire was started by the four walls of the village first, which made the fire even more fierce. It quickly burned through the entire village.
Dazhai.
Liu Qianwen patted her chest and said somewhat happily: "Fortunately, the old man came to inform us first. Otherwise, if we went in rashly and suddenly there were fires all around, and we didn't know where the tunnel was, we would have jumped out of the flaming wall.
I don’t even know the level of the terrain outside the village wall, that’s really unimaginable.”
Aunt Shan said nervously: "The pine wood wall is poured with tung oil. When you fly through such a wide blazing flame, even if you are not burned to death, you will still shed a layer of skin!"
At this moment, Zhao Ling'er, who was directly north, suddenly lowered his voice nervously and whispered: "Brother Haotian, come here quickly, there is something going on here!"
Nangong Haotian and Shangguan Xiaowan's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they waved their hands to Gutou and Aunt Shan, urging: "Let's go there quickly!"
