The tall Huo Anu, wearing a white cloak and holding a brand new iron umbrella, hurriedly walked into Zhaoye Temple.
"how so?"
When she came in, she found that the gate of Zhaoye Temple was open, so she entered the temple directly.
However, when she searched around the temple, she found that the entire temple was empty. Not only was there no one, but not a single item was missing.
"Why?"
Huo Anu looked around blankly, the temple in the snow was desolate.
"Miss..." Huo Anu hurriedly walked through the yard and looked around, murmuring Shen Qian's name.
Unexpectedly, when she found the last courtyard, she suddenly saw a person standing in the snow!
This person is none other than Xu Zun!!!
"ah?"
Huo Anu felt incredible and quickly came to Xu Zun, but saw that Xu Zun's brocade robe was already covered with snowflakes, and he had obviously been here for a long time.
"Master Xu," Huo Anu was confused, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you would wait for me in Changqing City?"
Xu Zun stood there unmoved, looking at the white snow in the courtyard, and actually recited the song "Linjiang Fairy":
"The rain falls on the sycamore leaves,
Don't worry about separation and hatred, who will listen?
I pity Gu Hong in his shadow.
A long night of empty memories,
Tossing and turning, I heard the rooster crow.
Suddenly Jue Fang is heartbroken at the end of the world,
Who understands love in this life?
One thought becomes mourning from spring to winter.
Thanks to your unfulfilled wish,
Send me love in the next world..."
"Sir...you..." Huo Anu noticed that Xu Zun looked wrong, and his face became even more confused.
"Anu," after reciting the word, Xu Zun stared at Huo Anu and shouted, "You are also responsible for Mr. Shen's death, right?"
"What?" Huo Anu suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he put on a fighting posture and said, "What do you mean?"
"Are you still unwilling to admit it?" Xu Zun said in a stern voice, "In the old Xinye County government office, the fake Qiu Yongnian's chain would not have hit Mr. Shen. It was someone who pushed him that caused him to Killed by chains!"
"Ah!?" Huo Anu was shocked, "No... it's impossible? I was also there at the time. Who was it? Who pushed the master?"
"Just because you are here, you are suspicious!" Xu Zun yelled tremblingly, "Your iron umbrella can even support an iron coffin, and it did not bend even after fighting Wei Beihui for hundreds of rounds!
"But Qiu Yongnian just fell apart with one claw?"
"Sir... Sir!" Huo Anu defended in an extremely aggrieved manner, "I told you that the iron umbrella has a door to death, and the fake Qiu Yongnian's sharp claws just caught on the door of death, so it fell apart!"
"Then tell me," Xu Zun asked again, "why do you appear here!?"
"Here? What's going on here?" Huo Anu explained in confusion, "I came to visit the lady? Why isn't the lady here? Where have everyone gone?"
"Really?" Xu Zun glared at her fiercely.
"ah?"
Huo Anu finally realized that Xu Zun was not joking, and immediately knelt down on one knee and explained hurriedly:
"Sir...you...you can't doubt me!" In desperation, tears welled up in her eyes and she said excitedly, "I...I am loyal to you..."
"Shen Qian left you a letter back then," Xu Zun didn't wait for Huo Anu to finish and asked loudly again, "What was written in the letter?"
"Miss, let me listen to your orders and protect you," Huo Anu shouted loudly, "Sir, if one word of what I said above is false, Anu is willing to be pecked by an eagle!"
The punishment of eagle pecking is a cruel punishment in Huo Anu's hometown. The body of the condemned prisoner is smeared with blood in a rainstorm outside, and then is pecked by an eagle to death.
"Anu..." Xu Zun's voice trembled slightly, and he pondered for a long time, then turned his head and said, "Get up!"
"This..." Huo Anu didn't know why.
"You have to know," Xu Zun picked up Huo Anu with both hands and said meaningfully, "The reason why I did this is because you are the person closest to me, and I really don't want you to be involved!"
"This..." Huo Anu asked with confusion, "Sir, what happened? Wasn't Mr. Shen beaten to death by that fake Qiu Yongnian? Why do you say someone pushed him?"
"Anu..." Xu Zun said solemnly, "What I say next will only be known to you and me. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Huo Anu nodded in agreement.
"When the iron chain was brought down," Xu Zun said, "someone did push Mr. Shen, otherwise Mr. Shen would not have died!"
"No...impossible?" Huo Anu shook his head, "Didn't the young lady say that Mr. Shen was hit by the chain in order to protect her...um...ah!!?"
Finally, Huo Anu guessed what Xu Zun meant, and was stunned as if struck by lightning.
"I understand now...why Shen Qian felt so guilty that she wanted to become a monk," Xu Zun said, pointing to the empty temple, "But now...I'm confused again!"
"No...impossible...impossible..." Huo Anu's tears finally came out of his eyes, "Sir, you can't talk nonsense. How could Miss Shen do that? Do you have any evidence?
"Besides, why did she do this? Mr. Shen is the master!"
"Anu, you know me. If there is no real evidence, why would I spread rumors?" Xu Zun said, "Remember carefully, where was Mr. Shen at that time?"
"This..." Huo Anu recalled carefully, shaking his head repeatedly, "How could I remember? It was a matter of life and death at that time, and all my attention was on the fake Qiu Yongnian!"
"Um……"
Xu Zun thought for a moment and finally told Huo Anu an even more shocking piece of information, which was Duke Shen's last words and Ku Niang's identity.
"Ah!?" At this moment, Huo Anu collapsed completely, collapsed on the snow and muttered to himself, "How...how could this happen?"
…
Half an hour later, Xu Zun and Huo Anu came out of Zhaoye Temple. Due to the steep mountain, the guards and carriages were waiting at the foot of the mountain.
Xu Zun and Xu Zun walked side by side, but they saw that the mountains were covered with layers of snow, as if the whole world was pure white.
In Zhaoye Temple, Xu Zun told Huo Anu some of the secrets about the iron coffin.
Huo Anu was not as smooth and flexible as Zhao Yu. After knowing such a tortuous secret, Huo Anu always looked worried.
Looking at the worried foreign girl, Xu Zun was also worried.
In fact, Xu Zun followed Huo Anu all the way to Xinye County and already knew where Huo Anu had been and who he had met.
Through her performance, Xu Zun already knew that there was indeed nothing wrong with Huo Anu and that she was not Shen Qian's subordinate.
This time I came to Zhaoye Temple just to visit Shen Qian, not to inform her.
But, even so, he still questioned Huo Anu severely in Zhaoye Temple, just to make sure that he didn't make any mistakes.
After all, I had just learned that Shen Qian had a problem, and the Zhaoye Temple here was deserted. It was still a coincidence.
Now, Xu Zun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As he said himself, the last thing he wanted to see was that even Huo Anu was not one of his own!
Before this, Xu Zun had lamented about his team many times. If he looked carefully, it seemed that only the thief Liu Dong and his daughter Xiwa were the ones he felt most at ease with.
Zhao Yu has a special status. He is the son of Zhao Shengong and may also be an internal guard.
Not to mention Ku Niang, what came out of the iron coffin, I don’t even know if she is a human being?
There is no suspense about Timur Ani, but she is also a high-ranking figure in the Taoist rebel party. She needs to be on guard at all times and train her carefully.
Fortunately, there is no problem with Huo Anu. If she is with Shen Qian again, then her team will be weird...
