The man known as the sect leader didn't have any angry expression on his face, and only some surprise flashed on his face when Miao Luhou was talking about what happened, but he quickly returned to calmness: "In any case, it's all because you were too careless." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info also my no, the protection of Lian Qing is too much, she has been detained around Huolan City before, and she has never been far away, and when she first faces the sinister hearts of people, it is inevitable that she will not deal with it enough. ”

"It's all the fault of the subordinates!" Miao Luhou immediately clenched his fists and landed on one knee, "It's the subordinates who are not well prepared." The young lady is a simple person, and these problems should have been paid attention to when I was away from home, but I was still negligent in this regard. Ask the Lord to punish him! "The main thing is that the road ahead is too smooth. Because he volunteered to go out with Duan Lianqing, when he first went out, he was trembling for fear that she would be hurt if he didn't show mercy, but he was vigilant and didn't see anything wrong all the way, and Lianqing also laughed at him for being too step-by-step, and then he unconsciously relaxed. When he was in Wandao Lake, he actually cared a little about the painting boat that was far away behind him, but the smoothness of the road confused him, and that vigilance flashed in his heart, leaving no trace at all. And Duan Lianqing had been preparing at that time, and then he kept urging him into the water, and he didn't have time to think about it at that time to obey her wishes.

"You don't have to blame yourself too much." The middle-aged man waved his hand and asked Duan Lianqing to return to the seat next to him and sit down, "Although you have also been out, in general, your experience in this area is still not enough." I'll probably send you out on more missions in the future. You must know that among your younger generation, you and Lianqing have been playing together since childhood, and they have the best relationship, and Lianqing will need your assistance in the future. ”

"Thank you for your appreciation!" Miao Luhou replied very respectfully, but there was a little flickering between his expressions.

Su Miao only felt that Miao Luhou's expression seemed to be a little disobedient, but he only thought that he felt unhappy or a little unconvinced because he was secretly criticized by the middle-aged man.

Song Chen was much sharper than Su Miao in this regard, and what made Miao Luhou feel unpleasant was not that he was implicitly commented by his sect leader, but because the other party said that he wanted Miao Luhou to assist Duan Lianqing in the future. Song Chen himself is a person who has come over, because of Duan Lianqing before, they followed him and Su Miao, and then they followed each other for a while, although Miao Luhou did not show it clearly, but with Song Chen's vision and experience, he could see that Miao Luhou actually had a different kind of mind for Duan Lianqing. Duan Lianqing may not have seen this kind of thought, but Father Duan should have seen it, so he seized the opportunity to remind Miao Luhou that he would "assist" Duan Lianqing in the future, and he would become her subordinate, not someone who could stand side by side with her. Father Duan hinted that Miao Luhou could put away other thoughts, and should concentrate on what he should do, instead of thinking about it. This is a conceivable blow to Miao Luhou, who may be pouring all his thoughts into Duan Lianqing, and at his age, the observance of etiquette rules is not as strict as that of the previous generation, it can be seen from Miao Luhou's expression that although he understands Duan's father's reminder, he does not intend to abide by it. Maybe for him, what Father Duan thinks is not too important, what is more critical is Duan Lianqing's thoughts.

Although he can figure out Miao Luhou's thoughts clearly, for Song Chen, he won't take this kind of thing to heart about others. What he wants to know more is other useful clues, for example, Miao Luhou called Duan's father "sect leader", so what kind of sect is this? What does this sect have to do with Lin Jin? I heard Su Miao say that Lin Jin basically didn't have any dealings with anyone else except Hengqingtang and Tang Tairu before Xiao Jingyu woke up, so where did this sect come from? Moreover, Duan Lianqing said that the reason why she saw something followed him and Su Miao, did she tell Father Duan? What exactly do you see?

"It's not too early, you go back to the house and rest first!" Father Duan waved his hand and said to Miao Lu in a warm voice, "Let your father come to the mansion tomorrow, I have something to tell him." ”

After Miao Luhou withdrew, Duan Lianqing, who had been sitting next to him and didn't talk much, looked outside the door, lowered her voice and said, "Daddy, what I told you just now, do you think-"

"I think you're mistaken." Father Duan waved his hand, "Maybe it's a coincidence." Now that things are busy, you and Lu Hou won't make any more troubles. ”

"It's not—"

Duan Lianqing wanted to say something more, but Father Duan interrupted her, he rubbed his eyebrows and said, "You just came back too, go and rest early!" I summoned you, Uncle Miao, and a few of them to come to the mansion tomorrow to discuss things......"

"What are you discussing?" Duan Lianqing leaned over curiously and asked.

"I'll tell you when it's time to let you know." Judging from Duan Lianqing's words and deeds, Father Duan should be extremely spoiled by her on weekdays, but his tone is extremely dense at this point, "Go back to your yard!" I might ask you and Lu Hou tomorrow! This trip out can't fail to complete the test, but was intercepted by someone and it is not clear who the other party is! You are still too tender, you don't do things in a measured way, you are secretly followed by people and you don't know it, and you have lost all my face! ”

Father Duan's mouth was very harsh, but there was not much anger in his expression, Duan Lianqing may have been used to seeing her father's face and acting on weekdays, so she was not afraid, but stepped forward and poured a cup of tea in front of Father Duan, and admitted her mistake very frankly: "Dad, you have learned a lesson!" I know it's wrong, it's all my problem! But Dad, you're still so young, and I'm not in a hurry for this test, right? Anyway, if it doesn't work this time, I'll go again next time! ”

Father Duan looked at the teacup that Duan Lianqing brought directly to his mouth, and he didn't pick it up, and he didn't pick it up, he looked at his daughter with a smile and a smile: "Feelings, you have been shouting that you can go out of the teacher, let me go that trip to put things just because you want to go out and have a good time?" ”

"That's not what I said." Duan Lianqing hugged Father Duan's arm, she shook it slightly, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Dad, I've always wanted to ask you a question, why did our sect get the ancient city at the bottom of the lake before becoming the sect leader or the sect leader's heir?" Is there any point in just looking for a token, or did you put it in? Let me find out! ”

Father Duan heard Duan Lianqing's question, and the teacup that was just about to be brought to his mouth was put down by him again, he looked at his beloved daughter, and his expression became very dignified: "Do you know the origin of our Jing Si Sect and the composition of its personnel?" ”

"Didn't you say that they were all from the former Yasukuni?" Duan Lianqing recalled the allusions that her father used to tell her, "The ancestors of our Duan family were all the imperial guards of the Yasukuni monarch. Later, in the turmoil, Yasukuni was destroyed by the first generation of monarchs of the Dalan Dynasty, and the monarch of Yasukuni was martyred, and the rest of the people fled, and those who surrendered surrendered ...... The people who surrendered at the beginning all became the people of Cuilan City, but because they were worried that the Great Lan Dynasty would wipe out the original royal family and soldiers, the imperial guards at that time escorted the royal family to flee. Our ancestors encountered a team of the other party on the way to escort the prince and the princess, and they were separated in the pursuit of the other party, and the ancestors later settled here in Huolan City, and then found the old people who came out of Yasukuni one after another, and everyone founded the Jingsi Sect ......together in order to hide from people's eyes and ears."

"That's right, so now you understand, why the future sect masters of the Jingsi Sect in the past need to go down to the Yasukuni Imperial Palace under Wandao Lake to get the tokens, right?" Father Duan asked.

"I don't understand...... Duan Lianqing still felt puzzled, "That's not a real token!" ”

"Originally, in the past, the tokens were directly placed there." Father Duan patted Duan Lianqing's head, "It's not because I'm not worried about your frizzy temperament, so I use something else instead." If you let the token be taken away from you by someone else this time, the consequences will be too serious! ”

"Yes." Duan Lianqing thought about it and felt that she was really lucky, if the other party snatched away the token of the sect leader of the Jing Si Sect, wouldn't the Jing Si Sect be corrupted by her subordinates?

"But if what goes to the water to take is not a token, then what's the point of the process of 'testing'?" Duan Bianqing asked rhetorically, she always vaguely felt that this matter was not as simple as she thought before.

"You're right." Father Duan smiled, "Actually, the most important thing for you to go down to the water of Wandao Lake is not the piece of jade I put in, but the process of looking for it in the water." ”

"Process?" Duan Lianqing groaned and recalled all the details of the previous in Wandao Lake, "We didn't encounter anything special when we were in the water!" When she went into the water, she didn't realize that there were people behind her, and the despicability of those people was that they didn't compare with her and Miao Luhou openly at first, but waited until they had already consumed most of their physical strength under the water before they came forward to snatch and entangle. Although her water skills are good, and she also brought an airbag into the water during this operation, but when she was fighting in the water, the other four people rushed up, and there were only her and Miao Luhou on their side, and they couldn't handle it when they were around.

"This is a rule that this Jingsi Sect has set since the first time it was passed on to the second sect leader...... "Duan's father thought for a while, "The meaning of the ancestors is actually to let the successor sect leader clearly understand that no matter where we are, we are all from Yasukuni, and this forgetting must not be forgotten." And Yasukuni, which was once prosperous enough to become the first among all vassal states, only traces of the ancient city under the water of Wandao Lake remained. And don't you think? The harder I put things in the palace, the longer you spend in the lake, and the more impressive I will be of the ancient city. ”

"Well, think exactly." The doubts in Duan Lianqing's heart were solved, and the usual bright smile returned to her face, "But father, don't worry, even if I don't go down to the bottom of that lake, with your careful teaching from childhood to adulthood, I will not forget that I am a Yasukuni person!" ”

"That's pretty much it." Seeing Duan Lianqing's attitude, Father Duan nodded in appreciation, "This is my good daughter." But there's one more thing I want to warn you of—"

"What?" Duan Lianqing blocked her mouth with her hand and yawned.

Seeing this, Father Duan stopped talking: "It's not too late to talk about this matter another day." Go and rest, I'm going to rest too. Otherwise, I won't have the energy to do the right thing tomorrow. ”

Duan Lianqing may have been really sleepy, and since she saw that Father Duan didn't want to say any more, she obediently retreated to her courtyard.

Su Miao and Song Chen did not follow, and continued to stay where they were and watch Father Duan's movements. However, after Duan Lianqing left, the latter sat quietly and drank half a cup of tea, then got up and returned to the main house, and when he went out, he also ordered his subordinates to fetch hot water and send it in, it seemed that he was going to sleep after freshening up.

Su Miao and Song Chen glanced at each other, and this trip can be regarded as collecting some useful information, but this place is not suitable for discussion, so Song Chen took it back to the inn.

Xiaobai was already sleeping on his stomach in Su Miao's room, and immediately opened his eyes vigilantly after hearing Su Miao and Song Chen land, but the breath of Su Miao and Song Chen was already very familiar, so he continued to sleep on his stomach without raising his head.

Seeing this, Su Miao pulled Song Chen and motioned to go to his room, so as not to make noise to Xiaobai.

"Ah Chen, it turns out that in the city chronicles of Cuilan City, the vassal state is called Yasukuni!" In the city chronicle that Su Miao and the others found in the palace of Cuilan City, they didn't even mention the name of this small country in the previous dynasty, and they had always called it a vassal state, and Su Miao felt a little strange at that time.

"It may be because some people in Yasukuni refused to surrender at the beginning, so the later people in power will do everything possible to erase all traces of the previous dynasty." Song Chen shook his head, "But these people didn't expect that the more they wanted to erase it, the more people from the previous dynasty would remember." ”

"So Duan Lianqing and they are a sect formed by some Yasukuni people united, and their appearance is still very low-key, and they should only be active in the local area." Su Miao was a little annoyed and said, "We are still a step late, that Duan Lianqing told her father everything, but obviously, his father doesn't believe it, so now the matter is over?" Haven't we made a trip in vain? It's just that she didn't hear what Duan Lianqing said, and she was always a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"Not necessarily." Song Chen comforted Su Miao, "In the past few days, we have stayed in this Huolan City, thoroughly inquired about this Jingsi Sect and understood it clearly, and when the time comes, we will write a letter to the master and ask them if they know such a teaching?" If even the master didn't know, it might have been made up by Duan Lianqing in a hurry to escape her father's blame. ”
