Chapter XVII
Yan Lan was silent for a while, and then said: "I know that I and Charter Feng are the biggest suspects now, but Master Jiang Zhuang, I have to say, from the unknown death of my master to the unprovoked incident of the Golden Lotus Sect, the two things came too coincidentally, but they are both related to Charter Feng, don't you really plan to check on him?"
"Yan Lan, I have to tell you the truth." After Jiang Xiaotian thought about it, Yan Lan was also a person worthy of entrusting him to act.
"Huh?" Yan Lan was stunned.
"Your master, died of poisoning." Jiang Xiaotian was stunned, and Xu Yunxi listened quietly on the side.
"What! Master Jiangzhuang, is it true? Yan Lan was shocked, "When we cleaned Master's body, everything was the same except for the Soul Devouring Palm Print!" Yan Lan was shocked and in disbelief.
"Your master's body has been cremated, and there is no way to verify it, but good boy, if you believe me, listen to me. Sheng Lingyun is the person I sent to investigate the truth, this is the result of his investigation, you can wait for his body to recover and ask for details. Now that you are the new head of the Flame Knife Gate, it is your responsibility to find out the truth about Master's murder, but you can't put all your energy on finding the murderer, but you must glorify the lintel of the Flame Knife Gate, so that your Master can feel at ease under the Nine Springs. Jiang Xiaotian said kindly, "I will definitely help you find out the truth about your master's murder, don't worry!" ”
Yan Lan clenched her teeth, clenched her hands into fists, and tried her best to restrain her anger, "Master Jiangzhuang, thank you!" ”
Jiang Xiaotian was still about to speak, but Yan Lan had already let go of his hand and regained his composure, "Owner, you guys are busy first, I'll go back and take a look." ”
"Go, good boy." Although Yan Lan is young, he is arrogant, courageous, and courageous as he loses to anyone, but he has too little experience and is still very immature, and it is difficult to assume the position of the owner for the time being. Jiang Xiaotian told him the truth about Shen Shiyi's death, hoping that he could temper himself in this matter and grow better.
After Yan Lan left, Jiang Xiaotian sighed: "The rivers and lakes are long, and the waves are big, and you are carrying the entire martial arts!" Wan must be calm and quiet, and Taoguang is obscure. It is necessary to know that the vision is high and far-sighted, and only then can it become a great tool. ”
"The younger generation is taught." Xu Yunxi humbly bowed.
Qiao Yiling stayed in front of the bed to take care of Sheng Lingyun, and a maid came in to deliver medicine, Qiao Yiling hurriedly got up and caught it, "Thank you!" ”
When Qiao Yiling put the medicine on the table, Sheng Lingyun finally woke up, his face was pale, his lips were dry, and he struggled to get up.
Qiao Yiling heard the movement and turned around to help him sit down, "Brother Sheng, are you better?" ”
"I'm fine, where is Yun Xi, how is he?"
"Master Jiang invited him over." Qiao Yiling got up again and brought the medicine, "Brother Sheng, let's drink the medicine first." ”
Qiao Yiling blew lightly on the medicine and was about to feed him, Sheng Lingyun refused stiffly and took the bowl, "Miss Qiao, I can do it myself." ”
Qiao Yiling blushed for a while, and handed the medicine to Sheng Lingyun in a daze, and the two were relatively speechless.
It happened that Xiao Ziyan came in and saw that the atmosphere between the two was strange, and he didn't know why, "Sheng Gongzi, are you awake, are you better?" ”
"I'm fine."
Qiao Yiling also felt that something was wrong, "I, I'll go and serve some food." ”
Then he went out.
"Miss Joe is alright?" Xiao Ziyan asked weakly.
"Golden snake, did you catch Poison Siniang?" Sheng Lingyun diverted the topic and asked.
"Master Jiang Zhuang urgently sent you to heal and let them escape." Xiao Ziyan replied truthfully.
Sheng Lingyun opened the corner of the quilt to check his wounds, and asked, "How is Nie Changnan's injury?"
"It's fine, and I should be awake now."
"I'll take a look."
Sheng Lingyun got out of bed with the help of Xiao Ziyan, and between putting on his shoes, Nie Changnan stepped in early with the support of the doorman, "Shaoxia, you're awake!" ”
Sheng Lingyun stood up with his shoes on, hugged his fists and said: "Junior Sheng Lingyun, senior Lao is worried."
"The golden snake venom is pure, Sheng Shaoxia can survive this catastrophe, it can be seen that the internal strength is profound, and the blessings are endless, dare to ask what school Sheng Gongzi inherits?" When Nie Changnan woke up, he sighed that he would not die, and when he heard that the son who had been poisoned by the golden snake was also fine, he was secretly surprised, and thought that the owner of Jiang Zhuang favored them and knew that he was not an ordinary person, so he came to say hello.
"It's not enough, it's just a hard life, and I escaped." Sheng Lingyun said politely and invited Nie Changnan to sit down and chat.
Qiao Yiling came out of the kitchen with red date bone broth, and walked halfway to meet Xu Yunxi, "Lingyun is awake!" Xu Yunxi asked urgently.
"Hmmm! Brother Sheng is fine, Brother Xu should not worry. Qiao Yiling was a little distressed when he saw that he was worried and in no energy for half a day.
"I'll help you." Xu Yunxi reached out to help her take the end plate.
"No, no, let's go!" Qiao Yiling hurriedly pushed back.
Xu Yunxi didn't waste much time, let him be free, and the two went back all the way.
Walking to the door of the room, seeing Nie Changnan and Sheng Lingyun sitting opposite each other and chatting, Xu Yunxi stepped forward in surprise, "Senior Nie, are you okay!" ”
"This is Xu Yunxi, this is Qiao Yiling Qiao girl." Sheng Lingyun stood up on the table and introduced, Xu Yunxi stepped forward to help him up.
Xiao Ziyan took Qiao Yiling's meal and put it on the table, and the two stood aside.
"Xu Gongzi is a talent, strong in martial arts, and thanks to you for defeating the Spider Queen." Nie Changnan admired the two of them very much and stood up to greet them.
"The juniors are terrified, if it weren't for the carelessness of the juniors, Senior Nie would not have been so seriously injured." Xu Yunxi has always been worried about Nie Changnan's injury, full of guilt.
"It's, what's wrong?" Sheng Lingyun looked at Xu Yunxi in confusion.
"Hey, Xu Shaoxia doesn't need to be uneasy, it was the old man who was reckless and rushed into it himself." Nie Changnan knew what Xu Yunxi said and comforted him.
Sheng Lingyun roughly understood the cause and effect, asked Nie Zhangmen to sit down, Xu Yunxi poured tea for him, Sheng Lingyun said, "The matter has passed, Nie Zhangmen has also recovered, you can rest assured." Then Xu Yunxi also helped him sit down together, and Sheng Lingyun said again: "The Golden Lotus Sect is cunning and vicious, and it is impossible to prevent it, so we have to be careful to guard against it."
A few people came and went, and they became familiar with each other a little bit in a word, and chatted happily.
After a long time, Nie Changnan returned to the room and found that the owner of the Jiang Zhuang was sitting at the table waiting for him, and was taken aback, "The owner of the village, you ......"
"Master Nie is no longer in trouble, so I can rest assured." Jiang Xiaotian said with concern, got up and sat down with him.
"What is the owner looking for Nie?" Nie Changnan got straight to the point.
"Yanyu Villa suffered this catastrophe, it was Jiang's fault for not guarding the village, and now the new owner of the village has not yet come to fruition, and Jiang is really unable to sleep." Jiang Xiaotian seemed to be a little older, and he didn't speak as much as he was in the assembly.
"Isn't it a choice between Gu Mingjue and Shangguan Hai?" Nie Changnan was puzzled.
"Gu Mingjue came to me before, saying that his ability was limited and he was incompetent, and Shangguan Hai also excused himself from a serious injury that had not healed, and it was difficult to be a beam." Jiang Xiaotian pulled out a smile with difficulty, as if he was laughing at himself.
"What does the owner mean, is he going to re-elect the owner?" Nie Changnan guessed a little bit of Jiang Xiaotian's intentions, and wanted to excuse himself, "Nie is stupid, I'm afraid ......"
"The villa is surrounded by wolves and tigers at the moment, and the future is unclear, and it needs a resourceful and brave man to govern the villa in order to get the villa out of trouble." Jiang Xiaotian went through the invasion of the Golden Lotus Sect, and he took Nie Changnan very seriously, "Yan Lan is young, lacks experience in resisting enemies, and wants to be distracted by Shen Shiyi, I don't worry." The charter wind has been in controversy for a long time, and he has old grudges with the Flame Knife, Mohe, Meteor and other factions, and if he is in charge, there will be internal strife. ”
"The owner, it's not that I escaped, since I entered the villa, I was willing to do my best for the villa, and after death, the reason why I repeatedly shirked it was to see that all sects fought for the position of the owner of the village, regardless of the old feelings, Nie was really cold, and he was willing to be an idler and cultivate quietly." Nie Changnan said from the bottom of his heart, and the owner of Jiang Zhuang was also sad.
"I know that in the past two years, the injustices in the villa have grown, and everyone has complained, which is my dereliction of duty. But it is precisely because of this that I have the heart to invite you, the wind of the villa, and the tranquility of the rivers and lakes. ”
Jiang Xiaotian's words were sincere, and Nie Changnan couldn't bear to waver, "However, the position of the owner of the village has to be elected by each family, and I am directly appointed, will everyone be convinced?"
"Jin Lian is here to attack, if you don't come up with a fire attack method and crack their hiding place, the villa is still stuck in fire and water at the moment, and the big guys are grateful, so they are naturally willing to support you as the leader." Jiang Xiaotian finally said that he was moved, and it was difficult to hide his joy.
"Okay, owner, I'm willing to try my best to live up to the owner's high expectations." Nie Changnan made a lot of determination, his face was full of determination, Jiang Xiaotian saw through him his courage and resoluteness when he first became the owner of the village, and smiled with satisfaction.
In Sheng Lingyun's room, four people sat around.
"Yan Lan already knows the truth about Shen Shiyi's death." Xu Yunxi said.
"Master Jiang told him? Why did you tell him at this juncture?" Sheng Lingyun didn't understand why Jiang Xiaotian was in such a hurry, the Flame Dao Gate was hit hard, and he still had to make it worse? Moreover, it is not conducive to their continued pursuit.
"To make way for the new owner."
"Who?" Qiao Yiling was originally a little sleepy, lying on the table listlessly, but when he heard this, he suddenly became interested.
Xiao Ziyan and Sheng Lingyun also waited for Xu Yunxi's answer.
"This time the Golden Lotus Sect is menacing, thanks to the Nie Sect Master's relief." Xu Yunxi explained the reason.
"Sure enough. Before, I was surprised why he followed the owner of Jiang Zhuang, so it was. Sheng Lingyun was calm as usual.
Xu Yunxi said with a smile: "We all lost, but it's okay, Nie Changnan is in charge of the villa, and a lot of grievances and grievances are saved for the time being."
"That charter wind must be angry!" Qiao Yiling thought of Yan Lan's vicious and fierce gaze when he was brilliant in the morning, so he breathed a sigh of relief for Nie Changnan.
"What do you think about the Golden Lotus Sect's attack?" Xu Yunxi asked again.
Xiao Ziyan and Qiao Yiling glanced at each other, Qiao Yiling said: "I think the timing of their move is too coincidental, and they are killers against Gu Mingjue, if they succeed, maybe the next one is Shangguan Hai, because someone in the charter Feng and Yan Lan has not been elected, if the remaining two are killed, the position of the owner of the village will inevitably be re-elected."
"You are the same as Yan Lan's guess, it is not unreasonable." Xu Yunxi praised.
"It's just that I can't figure it out a little." Xiao Ziyan frowned, "Why don't they let Charter Feng or Yan Lan make this contribution, isn't that more certain?" ”
"Do you suspect that the person they united with is Nie Changnan!" Qiao Yiling was surprised, "But he, like Brother Sheng, almost died at the hands of the Golden Lotus Sect!" ”
There was silence.
"I also doubted the question raised by Ziyan, but Nie Changnan had no intention of being the owner of the village from beginning to end, so he ......" Xu Yunxi rubbed his forehead with his hand, and stopped talking.
"Why don't we think in a good direction?" Sheng Lingyun saw that the atmosphere was solemn and said calmly.
Everyone looked up at him.
"The master of the Nie Sect is straightforward, not good for fame and fortune, we have also secretly investigated, there is no abnormality, he is even more jealous and hateful to the Golden Lotus Sect, and vows to eradicate them. Now, he is very likely to have become a thorn in the side of the Golden Lotus Sect. Sheng Lingyun said the last sentence, and his fingers tapped on the table.
"We're probably too nervous." Xu Yunxi stood up and stretched, "Let's rest today, and I'll talk about it later." ”
