Chapter 44: The Handmaid Xiaolan

() I heard that there was a living mouth, and the three heads of the family gathered around at the same time. Not far from the front of the building, a woman dressed as a maidservant was lying on the ground covered in blood, but her chest was heaving and breathing. Hou Xin said: "It's a maid, and it's not a big evildoer, so let's save it first." "A disciple who had already brought medicine for knife wounds came over to dress the wounds. The maid was only slashed in the neck, and it was not deep in the flesh, and it looked bloody, but she did not die, but fainted.

Because the bloody aura here was too heavy, Fang Zhong was afraid that the ferocity of the hideous beast would be triggered, so he had already pulled the hideous beast far away, and he also came to inspect it at this moment, and by the way, he asked what was going on here. The maid had been helped aside, and Fang Zhong looked over and was stunned. The blood stains on the maid's face had been wiped away, revealing a delicate and bright face, which looked quiet and peaceful, as if she was asleep, but that eyebrow and glance were so familiar.

Fang Zhong was stunned for a moment, then surprised and delighted, leaned over to inspect, and gently lifted the sleeves of the maid's clothes, and a string of bells hung on her wrists, which were as white as jade. The bell was quite old and no longer ringing. Fang Zhong only felt as if he was in a dream, and he couldn't imagine that he could see Xiaolan here, who had long since lost her whereabouts. When I said goodbye to Crouching Tiger Village, I left with Pu Xuan, and I always thought that Xiaolan stayed in Crouching Tiger Village, but later I learned from Aunt Hong that Xiaolan was taken to Jianhuatang by Mrs. Miao, and she also went to this Jicui Building to be a little maid.

Fang Zhong called softly, "Xiao Lan......"

The maid's eyebrows twitched slightly, she slowly opened her eyes, and then said in horror like a ghost: "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" ”

Fang Zhong said gently: "Don't be afraid, look at who I am." The maid's wandering gaze finally looked at Fang Zhong, but she said hesitantly, "I...... I don't know you, I beg the hero to let go of the little woman, and the grace of regeneration will be reciprocated. "The body kept shrinking. Fang Zhong said sadly: "Xiaolan, I am your brother Xiaozhong, why don't you know each other." Take a closer look! The maid heard this person call out her name, her eyes immediately widened, and she looked at Fang Zhong in a daze, and after a while, she cried bitterly, and sobbed: "It's really Brother Xiao Zhong, where have you been, why don't you take my ......" Tears fell like rain for a while.

Fang Zhong felt sad in his heart, and comforted: "It's mine, I followed the Dao Leader in a hurry, and I didn't say a word to you and Aunt Hong." Xiaolan said: "Which Taoist is the chief?" Fang Zhong said: "It's the Taoist chief I met in Crouching Tiger Village, if it weren't for him, I would not be able to have this place." Xiaolan said: "I hate him." ”

The person next to him had already seen the maid wake up, and told the master of the three factions, Zheng Yuanhong of Baishi Mountain, and said loudly: "Hey, that female doll, what are you crying about, tell me what happened here in advance." Xiao Lan heard someone speak roughly, she was frightened, threw herself into Fang Zhong's arms, and said in surprise: "There are bad people bullying Xiao Lan again." Fang Zhong said: "Don't be afraid, he is the Zheng Cave Master of Baishi Mountain, a person in the righteous path, but he just spoke louder, not a wicked person." When everyone next to them saw that the woman actually hid in Fang Zhong's arms, they were all surprised, they really couldn't imagine that this Kunlun disciple could speak so well with one mouth, and in a blink of an eye, he coaxed people into a pear blossom rain and a dead heart, and they didn't avoid suspicion at all. The Jade Guanjiang Guan Lord frowned, pointed at Xiaolan and asked, "Fang Daoyou knows this woman?" Fang Zhong pushed Xiaolan away slightly, and said with emotion: "She is old since she was a child, and she was separated when her disciple went to Kunlun to seek Taoism, but she didn't expect to meet her here." Lord Jiang Guan suddenly said: "No wonder, it can be regarded as a destiny in the dark, and we should meet here." Since you're an acquaintance, you might as well ask her what's going on here. ”

Fang Zhong asked Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, you are working as a maid in this Jicui Building, do you know what happened today, why are you lying here?" ”

Xiaolan said with fear on her face: "Today, with the three sisters, I heard that someone broke into Jicui Mountain, and there were also people who broke in, and they were either caught or killed, and they couldn't escape the palms of the three sisters. I didn't care about it at first, but I didn't expect that the flower array outside couldn't stop it, and someone killed it soon after. It was a chaotic time, and I didn't know what was going on, but I saw a few Taoists coming in, and the little woman wanted to dodge, but she was chased by a vicious Taoist and slashed with a big sword. I just said that I was dead, but I didn't expect to come back alive again, and I saw Brother Xiao Zhong, isn't this really a dream? After that, he raised his hand and touched himself, and cried with joy: "It's really not a dream!" ”

Zheng Yuanhong, Jiang Guan Zhu and Hou Xin glanced at each other, shook their heads, and said that they still couldn't ask the same thing from the mouth of this maid, could it be that the three disciples under the door were heroic and martial, desperately trying to kill a chicken and dog here, and they would die in battle. Hou Xin said: "This place has been flattened, what should I do now, whether to truthfully report to the real person in charge, or sit and wait for the news, to see what will happen in the future." Zheng Yuanhong said: "Naturally, it is truthful, but of course there is a lot of attention to how to be truthful." Lord Jiang Guan, Lord Hou Island, the ranking of the three of you and me in this cave heaven and earth is really low, every time the Jade Void Palace is held, to be honest, I feel quite disgraced. Now there is a great opportunity here, to put your and my seats in a row, as long as we say that this Jicui Building was captured by the three factions, it will naturally be a lot of credit. You see that the rest of the sects are also besieging everywhere, most of them are not small, and even occasionally have small losses, if we wait for the first to achieve miraculous achievements, you say, do you want to rearrange a row of seats. Zheng Yuanhong's words made the hearts of the other two people move, who didn't have the heart to be strong and competitive, as the leaders of the three factions, they were nothing more than the glory of the main door, and the ready-made opportunity was in front of them, so it would be a pity to miss it. Hou Xin said: "Although we are waiting to contribute, we really can't enjoy the merits alone, and this matter has to be discussed carefully." The Jade Guanjiang Guan Lord hesitated and said: "Poor Dao has an idea, which will not let me wait for my conscience to be uneasy, and I will not miss his work. Zheng Yuanhong said: "Hurry up." ”

Jiang Guan said: "I just need to put the matter of Jicui Mountain being leveled on the body of the senior brother of Kunlun, praise it vigorously, and reward it with good words, but we are silent about our own merits, and only write a little bit about the lost disciples of the three factions, and present it to the real person in charge of the sect." What do you think will happen? Zheng Yuanhong praised: "Sure enough, if the real person in charge of the sect really sees us say this, he must think that it is us who deliberately curry favor with the Kunlun disciples, and give away this credit, which is showing our high wind and bright festival." It is the so-called strategy of retreat. Jiang Guan Zhu smiled and said: "The way to do things should be like this." ”

A few hours later, a raging fire broke out in Jicui Building, and a very beautiful flower building in the past collapsed and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye. The disciples of the three factions went back to the house, Xiaolan had nowhere to go, so Fang Zhong could only take her to follow everyone back to the nameless Taoist temple temporarily. When the monstrous beast saw Xiaolan at first glance, its mane stood on end, and it roared non-stop, if it wasn't for Fang Zhong to pull it, it would have pounced on it. Fang Zhong smiled: "This brute, I haven't seen you for many years. Xiaolan touched her chest and said in surprise: "I really don't recognize it." As soon as everyone returned to the Taoist Temple, the master of the Jade Guanjiang Temple wrote a letterhead, and the disciple quickly sent it to the Yuxu Palace, which naturally praised Fang Zhong well, describing that there would be no such person would be defeated like a mountain, and the demon would directly hit the Yuxu Palace.
