Chapter 569: Tianzhao Palace (17)

"No, the elder just brought that woman back and prepared to interrogate her carefully, our people from Tianzhao Palace will never kill innocents indiscriminately." Regarding Su Xingwen's question, Xiaohu immediately replied.

"Great, I'll be right back now." Listening to Xiaohu's answer, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then, Su Xingwen immediately took Ye Wen and walked towards the tribe where they lived.

When Ye Wen followed Su Xingwen into the tribe, Ye Wen realized that Su Xingwen's so-called tribe was just a very dilapidated small mountain village. Moreover, when he walked into the village, Ye Wen saw that most of the residents here were ragged and thin, and they looked like they were suffering from hunger and illness.

Moreover, following Su Xingwen all the way, when Ye Wen walked into this tribe, the villagers here looked at Ye Wen with extremely strange and cautious eyes. It can be seen that these people in Su Xingwen's tribe must be isolated from the outside world and rarely deal with the outside world.

Because of this, many villagers in the past showed considerable hostility towards Ye Wen along the way. Of course, it can also be seen that Su Xingwen's popularity here must be very good, and after him, no one stepped forward to take the initiative to embarrass Ye Wen.

Soon, under the leadership of Su Xingwen, the two came to a small ancestral hall in the center of the tribe. On weekdays, anything that happens in the tribe will be dealt with in front of the ancestral hall. Su Xingwen believed that even if the elder wanted to dispose of Mu Yanran, he would definitely bring it here.

Sure enough, I just arrived at the ancestral hall, located in front of a clearing in front of the ancestral hall, surrounded by a group of villagers. Mu Yanran was standing in front of a pale old man, as if she was being asked seriously.

At this moment, what made Ye Wen feel extremely fortunate was that although Mu Yanran was being looked at angrily by everyone, the people here did not embarrass Mu Yanran extraordinarily. Even at this time, Mu Yanran's hands and feet were free, and she was obviously not overly troubled.

"Grandpa, you misunderstood, she is not those eagle dogs from the government, just now, their brothers and sisters took the initiative to help me." Seeing that the pale old man was asking Mu Yanran seriously, Su Xingwen also immediately stepped forward to explain.

"Xingwen, you're back! This time, you've been delayed for a long time, and I'm worried about whether you've had an accident. Hearing Su Xingwen's figure, he immediately turned around, and the white old man's first reaction was just to say with concern.

Then, for what Su Xingwen said, the old man also came back to his senses in an instant, and said, "What did you say?" Who are they? ”

"They are my new friends in Fengcheng, Fang Cai, those officers and soldiers came to search the mountain, and it was her brother who helped me lure those people away." Regarding Mu Yanran's situation, Su Xingwen immediately explained simply.

"Oh, I see!" Listening to Su Xingwen's explanation, because it was his grandson, the old man was naturally convinced, so instead, the old man said apologetically to Mu Yanran: "I'm sorry, girl, for the safety of the tribe, the old man has to be cautious, please understand." ”

"It's okay!" Shaking her head gently, seeing that Ye Wen had returned, Mu Yanran immediately breathed a sigh of relief, walked to Ye Wen's side and said.

Seeing that Mu Yanran was safe and sound, Ye Wen's mood immediately relaxed, but after scanning the surroundings of this ancestral hall, in front of the ancestral hall, a humanoid stone statue suddenly attracted Ye Wen's attention.

In fact, this stone statue looks very ordinary at first glance, and the material is only the use of bluestone that can be seen all over the mountains here, and as for the carving, it is far from reaching the so-called beautiful level.

But the reason why it can attract Ye Wen in an instant is because of the jade pendant carved on the chest of this stone statue. Although the carving of this stone statue is not very high, the pattern on this jade pendant is still clearly visible for such a huge stone statue.

It is precisely because of this pattern that Ye Wen suddenly lost his mind slightly, and Ye Wen was inexplicably acquainted with the shape and pattern of this jade pendant. Because the jade pendant carved on this stone statue seems to be the piece that the Poison King gave him at the beginning, but the difference is that the Poison King handed him only half of the jade pendant.

"How is it, where has the little brother seen the statue of my ancestor in Tianzhao Palace?" Also noticing Ye Wen's distracted gaze, the old man asked Ye Wen cautiously.

"No, I just think this stone statue is inexplicably familiar to me." Although he was suspicious, he did not reveal the matter of the jade pendant, and Ye Wen also said vaguely.

"Oh, I heard my grandson say just now that it was you who helped him solve the three masters of the Dingwu Hall, so that our tribe turned the corner, and he was really a young hero." After Ye Wen observed the stone statue, Su Xingwen also carefully explained Ye Wen's previous performance to the old man, and then, this person said very sincerely.

"Old man Su Xun, on behalf of the entire tribe, thank you brother and sister for your kindness. I heard Wen'er say that you are not from the Jinlan Principality, if you don't dislike the simplicity of the tribe, you can take a break here for a while. ”

"That's a nuisance." Although the words were very polite, Ye Wen still noticed that this Su Xun had always been cautious about him and Mu Yanran. Of course, in the face of those officers and men eyeing and encircling and intercepting, it is normal for this person to have such emotions.

But in addition to Su Xingwen's invitation before, Ye Wen insisted on staying here with Mu Yanran at the moment, and there was another important reason, that is, the stone statue that Ye Wen had just observed.

The fact that this stone statue can be placed in front of the ancestral hall for all to worship shows that this stone statue is definitely of great significance to the people here. And the jade pendant carved on this stone statue is a striking match with the one handed to him by the Poison King, Ye Wen believes that this is not a coincidence.

In the dark, Ye Wen already felt that Mu Yanran's life experience may be closely related to the people here. There is also the Tianzhao Palace that Su Xingwen and Su Xun mentioned more than once before, what kind of place is this place, it seems that in the Jinlan Principality, this is a taboo that cannot be contaminated.

It was precisely because of so many doubts in his heart that Ye Wen decided to stay here and wait for the right opportunity to find answers. Although he had promised the Poison King to escort Mu Yanran to the Saint King Pass in time, the road ahead was dangerous, if he didn't figure out the mystery of Mu Yanran, Ye Wen believed that he would never be able to complete the Poison King's trust.
