Huanxiang and Qier felt extremely sad when they saw Qiao Xianyong's miserable expression. After a moment, Huanxiang said softly, "Brother Qiao, I didn't mean to lie to you, it's just because the leader instructed me that I am under the Feitian sect again. It's really...
It has to be like this." She lowered her head and said, "I have carried out some similar tasks in the past, and I just carried them out and never took them to heart. This time, it is indeed different."
Qiao Xianyong said with red eyes, "So, your name is not Huanxiang, but you are also the altar master and the incense master?"
Huanxiang said anxiously, "Brother Qiao, my name is indeed Huanxiang, but my surname is not Wu. I lost my parents when I was young, and I have always relied on charity from my neighbors to grow up. No one has ever been kind to me, except
Brother Qiao, you treat me like a younger sister, how can I bear to continue to harm you?"
Qiao Xianyong let out a long sigh, stopped talking, and stared at the wooden door in a daze with his eyes wide open.
Qier said anxiously from the side, "Miss, what exactly does the Feitian Sect want Mr. Qiao to do? What kind of trap does it have? You can tell me." She stood by the window and looked outside and said,
"It seems to me that no one has come over with a torch yet. It seems that things are not finished over there yet. We still have some time."
Qiao Xianyong seemed to have finally come to his senses after hearing Qier's words. He smiled bitterly and said, "Huanxiang, what does the Feitian Sect want from me? I heard that Commander Ning wanted the stars on my body.
Picture, but he said it was some kind of treasure map."
Huanxiang frowned and said, "Brother Qiao, I don't know how you offended the Feitian Sect, but the Feitian Sect is now so powerful that no sect in the Central Plains can compare with it. Do you know that you still have
Do you remember when you were in the forest with everyone from the Baisha Escort Bureau, and you were attacked by a few people with high martial arts skills?"
Qiao Xianyong thought of the bloody battle in the dense forest again and nodded slowly.
Huanxiang continued, "Although the dwarf Bai Xinxin and others may have different identities in the world, they all belong to the Feitian Sect."
"What?" Qiao Xianyong couldn't help being shocked. He immediately remembered that the people from the Baisha Escort Bureau who were locked up in Wu's house in Anjiang City turned out to be the fault of the Feitian Sect. The Feitian Sect's people robbed the escorts and put their belongings somewhere, but the people were probably there.
He was imprisoned in Wu's Residence in Anjiang City. I think Wu's Residence was probably an important stronghold of the Feitian Sect.
"Yes, I once said that you were knocked unconscious by a drug administered by a middle-aged woman. This is indeed true. The Feitian Sect's important purpose is to rob escorts, but there are a few core people among them who know that you
is the more important goal. Brother Qiao, as for why the Feitian Sect is targeting you, I really don’t know." Huanxiang licked her lips and continued, "After you were stunned, you were sent to a bamboo forest.
In that mansion, which is also an important stronghold of the Feitian Sect, I found several things from you. The strange thing is that the leader personally checked these things on you. She kept a parchment scroll and others.
The thing was put back on you. You will know what happened next.”
Qiao Xianyong stared at Huanxiang, nodded and said, "Yes, that parchment is the constellation chart of Master Tongtian. You also know this."
Huanxiang shook her head and said, "Brother Qiao, I have a low status. I was told by my superiors at that time that any items found were not allowed to be inspected without authorization and had to be put in a place immediately. Besides, during the search, several people were staring at me. So.
I only know that what was taken out was a parchment, and I have no idea what is inside. Besides, I have never even heard of who the Master of Tongtian is and what a constellation chart is."
Qiao Xianyong pondered and then asked, "That day in the small garden of Anjiang City, you asked me that because you didn't admit that you had seen Master Tongtian's constellation chart, you were suspected by Mrs. Wu? So you still know something?"
Huanxiang said sincerely, "Brother Qiao, I am afraid that only the leader of the Feitian Sect knows the contents of this parchment. Even Mrs. Wu, who has such a status, may not have the chance to see it. This is why the leader asked us to
We have set up such a huge plot, pretending to be both a mother and a younger sister to coax you. I guess that the leader has read the content, but probably has a lot of confusion, so he asked us to trick you and ask you this question.
What is the explanation for the content in the volume? The leader only mentioned the words "Tongtian Cult Leader's Constellation Diagram", but the other contents were never revealed."
Qiao Xianyong carefully recalled the many days with Qiao, no, it was not Qiao, but Mrs. Wu. Thinking of this, he was filled with hatred. During the many days and nights they spent together, Mrs. Wu did talk carelessly about it several times.
Tongtian Cult Leader said so, Qiao Xianyong thought it was just a chat after dinner, but never paid attention to it. It wasn't until Butler Yan and Huanxiang reminded him to be careful one after another that he became more cautious.
Huanxiang suddenly grabbed Qiao Xianyong's sleeve and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Qiao, I don't think any of this is important. You must listen carefully to the most important thing I want to tell you today."
Mr. Qiao couldn't help but feel even more surprised. This big scam was already a strange and painful thing in his life. Is there anything else that could be more important than this fake mother and fake sister?
But Qiao Xianyong saw that Huanxiang's expression was painful and nervous, so he couldn't help but ask, "Sister Huanxiang, it's okay, just say it."
Huanxiang took a few deep breaths and whispered, "Brother Qiao, I just realized that Mrs. Wu disguised herself so well, and you didn't find any flaws in her. One reason is that you have been away from your mother for too long, and many memories may be lost."
It’s unclear. The more important reason is, Brother Qiao, your mother is still alive! The leader found her somehow, so he learned so much about your childhood from her!"
When Qiao Xianyong heard Huanxiang's words, he jumped up with a "bang" sound, which shocked both Huanxiang and Qier. He said excitedly, "Sister Huanxiang, you won't lie to me again, will you? I
Mom, is she really still alive?" The more Qiao Xianyong thought about it, the more truthful it became. Why did Mrs. Wu talk to him clearly about things that only mother and son knew about her childhood? And why did Mrs. Wu talk about her father Qiao?
When it comes to the boss’s affairs, he can talk about everything in detail. And why does Mrs. Wu have the same burn scars on her back shoulders as her mother? It seems that she endured the pain of burning the scars on herself in order to imitate her mother!
What was gratifying was that many of Mrs. Wu's behaviors, which made him feel uneasy, such as coveting pleasure and luxury, scolding servants, etc., seemed not to be the actions of his mother, whom he had loved since childhood, but to Mrs. Wu.
It is a personal behavior that is difficult to change. Thinking of this, Qiao Xianyong felt a little at ease.
With so many thoughts running through his mind, when he saw Huanxiang looking at him with almond-shaped eyes, he remembered the question he wanted to ask the most, and said in a trembling voice, "Sister Huanxiang, where is my mother?"
Huanxiang tried her best to suppress her excitement and whispered, "Brother Qiao, I have never known where the samples of these plays performed by Mrs. Wu came from. But whether I was in Zhulin Mansion or Anjiang Mansion, I noticed that sometimes
If you mention something about your childhood to her, and she can’t answer it for a while, she will use words to talk about it. I wonder if you’ve noticed.”
Qiao Xianyong recalled various scenes in the past. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Huanxiang's words were true, so he nodded.
Huanxiang said, "Later I noticed that when encountering such a situation, Mrs. Wu would avoid everyone after chatting and go to a mysterious courtyard in the mansion alone. I once followed her quietly and waited for her
After leaving the small courtyard, I waited for a long time and saw no one around, so I wanted to go into the courtyard. Unexpectedly, I fainted as soon as I stepped through the courtyard door. When I woke up again, I was already lying on my bed.
, in front of me was Mrs. Wu's cold face, she told me gloomily, some things are better not to know than to know." Huanxiang couldn't help but shudder as she thought about the situation at that time.
When Qiao Xianyong heard Huanxiang's words, he pondered, "Is he the one who drugged me?"
Huanxiang nodded and said, "Later, I guessed that it was probably the poisonous girl who was guarding the courtyard. That person was very skilled in martial arts, and he was always drugged without a trace. Since then, I have been very cautious and have never gone there again.
I passed through that courtyard. But I kept thinking, who was being guarded in that courtyard?"
Qiao Xian couldn't help but said, "Could it be, is it my mother?"
Huanxiang said hesitantly, "Brother Qiao, I have always suspected this. And I suspect that no matter where we go all the way to the capital, probably to deal with your endless problems, we are taking Brother Qiao and your mother with us.
"
Qiao Xianyong paced rapidly in the room, turned around and asked, "Huanxiang, are you saying that my mother has followed us to Ningsi Mansion?"
Huanxiang shook her head and said, "Brother Qiao, I was always with Mrs. Wu on the way from Anjiang City to Ningsi Mansion. Not long after we set off, someone rushed to deliver the letter. She looked gloomy after reading the letter.
I told the person who sent the message that since I was cleaning up the house tonight, please take the lady to the capital to settle down first. Then I didn’t say much, just closed my eyes and rested. I pretended to sleep on the side and didn’t dare to open my eyes. I think
, this cleaning up the house probably means dealing with Governor Ning Zhengbo Ning tonight, so since we are only staying for one night, and we have to deal with the affairs of the church, I am afraid something will happen, so I will send Brother Qiao and your mother directly to the Wu residence in the capital.
Alright."
Qi'er interrupted at this time, "Miss, you, are you saying that County Sheriff Ning is also a member of the Feitian Sect?"
Huanxiang nodded and said, "Yes. Ning Zhengbo was arranged to be the Lord of Ningsi City a few years ago. He has made a lot of money in the past few years, but he has also paid a lot of tribute, so the leader is too lazy to pay attention to him. But
Who would have thought that this guy is getting more and more arrogant and wants to start a new business, so it is inevitable that the master will take action against him."
