Chapter 221: You're Alive
After everyone retreated, Xue Jincheng took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zong Zhengqing.
Zong Zhengqing looked at Xue Jincheng with some doubts, took the piece of paper and opened it, but when she saw the contents of the piece of paper, her face changed greatly.
Mu Zi was very curious about what was written in the piece of paper, and her eyes quickly crossed between Zong Zhengqing's hands, and she saw that a circular pattern was drawn on the paper, with complex lines and symmetrical shapes, and an animal was drawn in the middle, which looked like a fox, but it had six tails.
Zong Zhengqing asked Xue Jincheng with some urgency, "This... Where are you from? ”
"This is the totem of the Zongzheng family?" Xue Jincheng asked without answering.
Zong Zheng hesitated lightly and nodded, "Sort of!" How did you hear about this pattern? ”
Xue Jincheng didn't hide it anymore, "Yesterday, at Sister Yuan'er's first birthday banquet, an assassin appeared...... The motif was carved into the sword that the Assassin carried. ”
Xue Jincheng explained in detail what happened last night, including the man in black, and the characteristics of your moves.
"Assassins?" Zong Zhengqing was a little incredulous, and muttered a few words in a low voice, as if he was thinking about something.
Xue Jincheng and Mu Zi didn't speak, quietly watching her face change back and forth. After hesitating for a long time, Zong Zheng exhaled lightly, looked at Xue Jincheng and asked, "Can I meet him?" ”
Xue Jincheng naturally nodded in agreement. The reason why he told Zong Zhengqing about this matter in detail was that he hoped that through her, the identity of the assassin could be determined as soon as possible.
"The totem of the Zongzheng family is a six-tailed fox?" Mu Zi thought in her heart, and her thoughts drifted far away......
The guardian beast of the Zongzheng family of the Tianxuan Continent is also a fox, but it is a nine-tailed fox. The first mythical beast she contracted was also a white nine-tailed fox.
Is it a coincidence? Such? This kind of coincidence made Mu Zi always feel that there was some kind of connection between the two worlds he lived in.
"The six-tailed fox is the special totem of the young master of the Zongzheng family, the patriarch is a nine-tailed fox, and the elder is a three-tailed fox." Zong Zhengqing explained.
Mu Zi and Xue Jincheng glanced at each other, so to speak, that assassin yesterday was really related to the young master of the sect?
At the beginning, Aunt Song secretly got Zong Zhengqing into the Hou Mansion, wasn't it really to frame the Hou Mansion and bring hatred to the Hou Mansion?
Xue Jincheng took Mu Zi and Zong Zhengqing to the dungeon of the Marquis of Wu'an. The dungeon is located under a rockery in the back garden, and because it is close to the artificial lake, the dungeon is a bit damp and cold.
There was only one guard guarding the door of the cell, and he was immediately released when he saw Xue Jincheng. The dungeon was not large, there were only six cells, and now all five were empty, except for a man in black tied to the third cell on the right.
The man in black heard footsteps, but did not look up.
However, Zong Zheng exclaimed when he saw the man, and ran quickly to the front of the mountain, saying in disbelief through the iron railing, "Bai Yi? Is it really you? ”
Hearing this, the man in black stiffened, raised his head suddenly, and saw Zong Zhengqing's face full of anxiety and worry, his eyes widened unconsciously, and his mouth made a whining sound.
"Take the step out of his mouth!" Zong Zheng turned his head lightly to Xue Jincheng and said.
Xue Jincheng nodded, raised his hand slightly, and the guards who came in behind them took two steps forward and took out the cloth ball stuffed in the mouth of the man in black, but did not loosen his binding.
"Mother? Are you still alive? Zong Zheng Bai Yi looked at Zong Zheng Qing and shouted in surprise.
