"Haha, He'er, it turns out that you are here, you really make it easy to find your father!"

"Huh? Well, I thought I could hide a pillar of incense for a long time! ”

Ouyang He, who was hiding in the grocery cabinet in the piano room, climbed out of the cabinet unwillingly, while her stepfather, Ouyang Jing, was looking at her round little face kindly at this time.

"Hehe, little girl, look at the sweat on your face, let's go sit and rest in the peach forest!"

Coming to the stone table in the peach forest in the backyard of Yufeng Villa, Ouyang He leaned tightly on Ouyang Jing and sat on the stone bench.

"Father-in-law, I'm 14 years old, can you tell me about the world under the mountain today?" Ouyang He stared at Ouyang Jing's face intently with expectant eyes.

"Alas, the little girl who used to play with her father-in-law has now grown into a slim girl." Ouyang Jing stroked Ouyang He's forehead, and his tone of voice seemed to suddenly become sad, "My father-in-law is also old, the burden of Yufeng Mountain Villa will be handed over to you sooner or later, and there are some things in the rivers and lakes that should be let you know more." ”

Ouyang Jing's words gradually became a little illegible, and Ouyang He could only hear a few words that were both familiar and unfamiliar to her intermittently from his words.

After that, as his eyes went dark, I don't know how long he slept this night, Ouyang He gradually opened his eyes in a trance.

Based on the furnishings of the room, and the shaky sensation she could clearly perceive, she judged that she seemed to be in the cabin at the moment.

"Yo, the girl is awake." A man gently pushed open the hatch, and then he walked in with a smile on his face and a few plates of food.

And the person who came in, Ouyang He, also knew that he was Pei Sheng, the master of the Changge Gate of Guangling City, who had an intersection with him in Xudu before.

"Yes...... Pei Gongzi saved me? Ouyang He sat up and asked in a soft voice towards Pei Sheng.

Pei Sheng smiled and agreed, and then he brought the food to Ouyang He's bedside, and told her that it was all cooked by himself, although the dishes were relatively simple because of the conditions, but he still hoped that Ouyang He could taste a few bites more or less.

Compared to eating, Ouyang He was more concerned about the situation in Yunmeifang at the moment. But Pei Sheng did not answer her directly, but handed her a letter and told her that the letter was handed over to her by a person who claimed to be a disciple of the Firmament Palace after boarding the ship and asking him to pass it on to her.

When Ouyang He read the letter, she couldn't help but purse her lips, and a relaxed expression appeared on her originally anxious face.

Ouyang He then asked Pei Sheng about the whereabouts of the ship, and Pei Sheng replied that they had now left the border of Chu and were moving in the direction of Guangling.

"I have seen a large number of officers and soldiers of the Chu State rushing to the shore of Dongting Lake one after another, in order to take care of the girl's safety, Xiaosheng had to make an initiative to take the girl out of the Chu State as soon as possible, and I hope the girl will forgive me!" Pei Sheng stood up and apologized to Ouyang He.

Ouyang He originally wanted to ask Pei Sheng about the situation on Broken Blade Island, but when the words came to her mouth, she still took them back, because she thought that she couldn't fully trust Pei Sheng at the moment.

On the subsequent journey down the river, the two still got to know each other on the premise of maintaining a certain distance, and also chatted about some trivial matters in the rivers and lakes. Pei Sheng obviously seemed more active in the contact with Ouyang He, but Ouyang He felt that Pei Sheng's eyes always made her shudder, so Pei Sheng's initiative didn't seem to get much favor from her.

The boat drifted along the Yangtze River for about two days, and when he could faintly see the walls of Guangling City in the distance, Ouyang He took the initiative to chat with Pei Sheng about the situation of the most powerful and famous person in the martial arts today.

"Needless to say, the most powerful, even ordinary people in the rivers and lakes know that it is naturally the "Four Uniques of Sword Forging". The four of them were all martial arts grandmasters back then, especially Jin Yuzun, who was known as the "Soul Slayer Sword Demon", according to rumors in the rivers and lakes, he was the only top person who could flexibly control the four ancient gods at the same time! Pei Sheng and Ouyang He stood on the deck at the bow of the ship, admiring the green hills on both sides of the river constantly moving towards the rear of the passenger ship.

"It turns out that Senior Ling and Senior Liu were so famous in the past, and the other two, I don't know if I have the fate to meet them in this life?" Ouyang He thought silently in his heart.

"In addition to the four of them, the one who is a little more ordinary but is also the top master of today's rivers and lakes is the "Shengtian Eight Guests"," Pei Sheng continued to narrate to Ouyang He, "The eight of them used to be the eight masters under the seat of the Shengtian Alliance, which were the madman, the slasher, the hermit, the drunk, the poisonous, the heart, the ghost and the dancer. It is said that because of the reception of many orphans of the former Liang Zhu family, Sheng Tianmeng was personally led by General Li Cunmiao, who raised troops to restore the Tang Dynasty. With the destruction of the Shengtian Alliance and the death of the alliance leader Zhu Yunling, the "Shengtian Eight Guests" also set up their own doors and scattered all over the rivers and lakes. ”

Pei Sheng then told Ouyang He that among the eight people, he knew the identities of two of them from his master, one of them was the "madman" Wang Xiao, the master of the Wind Thunder Hall, and the other was the "dancer" Yaoshuang, the palace master of the Qingshan Firmament Palace.

Soon, amid the conversation between the two, the ship docked at a busy dock on the outskirts of Guangling. And just where the boat was docking, the Xuanmo real person of the Firmament Palace was waiting for Ouyang He with a paper fan in his hand.

After Xuan Mo politely greeted Pei Sheng, he invited Ouyang He to a small teahouse near the dock alone.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the real person of Xuanmo, and it turns out that the real person actually came to Guangling. The little woman who saved the life of the real person before has not yet had time to thank her! Ouyang He said with a smile after serving a cup of tea to Xuan Mozhen.

"Seeing that the girl's complexion is not bad, I am relieved." Xuan Mo seemed to be able to see that Ouyang He had a lot of questions in his stomach that he wanted to ask, so he quietly waited for Ouyang He's inquiry while drinking tea.

Ouyang He mentioned the letter sent to her, and Xuan Mo replied that the letter was written to her by the palace master himself, and the predicament of Yun Meifang was also resolved by the palace master himself leading the disciples of the Firmament Palace.

Xuan Mo then recounted that when they arrived at Yunmei Fang, the scene was full of flames, the battle situation was very tragic, the disciples of Ice Phoenix Valley were basically killed and injured, Ling Rui, Chu Birou and Gao Che were all seriously injured. They originally thought that with Ling Wanli and Liu Bingtear two grandmaster-level figures sitting in the formation, Wang Xiao should not take much advantage, but they still far underestimated the power of the Kui Sword after being injected with the spirit of the Washing Yuan Bead.

"The most pity is that girl named Chen Fangning, if she hadn't desperately blocked the stone door of Yunmeifang's dark room, I am afraid it would have been difficult for us to get out so easily." Speaking of this, Xuan Mo sighed sadly, "The blood flowed down the stone crack into the secret passage, and her sister Chen Yuxia cried so much that she fainted. And before the stone door closed, the girl's fierce and resolute eyes are still unforgettable to me. ”

"Miss Chen, she ...... Dead, this ...... How could it be! Ouyang He was also a little surprised and sad when he heard the news of Chen Fangning's death.

As for why the soldiers who originally came from Tanzhou to reinforce defected, Xuan Mo said that he did not know at present, and the whole city of Tanzhou was currently under martial law, and they could not find out the situation in the city for the time being. It's just that his intuition tells him that all this seems to have been premeditated, and there must be someone behind it who has quietly woven a big net, and they are just small fish in this net to be slaughtered.

Ouyang He then asked a question that she had always wanted to know, that is, why did the Firmament Palace work so hard to help a few juniors in the rivers and lakes, because as far as she knew, the Firmament Palace had rarely appeared on the rivers and lakes over the years, let alone personally participated in the battles between the rivers and lakes sects.

Xuan Mo replied to Ouyang He and said that this was all arranged by the palace master Yaoshuang, originally he and Lan Yin only saved Ouyang He by accident, but since the palace master personally diagnosed Ouyang He's pulse, he told them to ensure the safety of these teenagers.

"Could it be that this palace master knows us? In this case, then we have been bothering in the Firmament Palace for a long time, why have we never been received by this palace master? Ouyang He still felt a little strange.

"Perhaps, the palace master has something unspeakable, after all, the things back then hurt her too much......" Xuan Mo wanted to speak a little and stopped, although Ouyang He had some doubts in his heart, he didn't ask deeply.

Xuan Mo finally asked Ouyang He about his next plans, and Ouyang He replied that since she had already come to Guangling, she would naturally go to Broken Blade Island as soon as possible to find the legendary "Yin Pupil Poison Mother", and then ask her to help remove the Gu poison on her body, and then stop Wang Xiao's conspiracy.

Ouyang He added that Huan Qingzhen's letter to her had already mentioned the matter of the Fengyin Bow, and he would pay more attention to the clues about the Fengyin Bow when he went.

The two saluted goodbye after wishing each other well, and Xuan Mo quietly told Ouyang He with a somewhat mysterious expression before leaving, if she wanted to know about the situation of Broken Blade Island, she could try her luck at a place called "Jiuliang Inn" in Guangling City.

After Xuanmo left, Pei Sheng originally wanted to take Ouyang He to Changge Gate as a guest, but was politely rejected by Ouyang He.

Looking at the beautiful back of Ouyang He's departure, Pei Sheng's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

"This girl really doesn't know what to do! Master Hou, if you really like this girl, why don't we send a few people to tie her up and take her to the Hou Mansion? Being able to be favored by Master Hou is a blessing that she can't cultivate in her lifetime! A servant beside Pei Sheng said to Pei Sheng angrily.

"Hey, don't worry, I've heard that she was able to escape from the six major sects in Jinyun Mountain alone, such a famous girl in the martial arts can't be obtained by casually relying on hard work. Don't worry, sooner or later, I will let her be my woman with all her heart! Pei Sheng suddenly changed his gloomy face, and then walked away with a group of his subordinates.

And Ouyang He, who entered Guangling City, inquired in many ways and found this "Nine Liang Inn" at a street corner. From the outside, this inn is no different from the surrounding buildings, but the people who enter and exit this "Jiuliang Inn" seem to be people in the rivers and lakes dressed in strange costumes and armed with various weapons, and the strange atmosphere makes people feel a little daunting.

For the sake of prudence, Ouyang He did not immediately ask the innkeeper about Broken Blade Island, but decided to check in at the inn first to observe the situation, and then find an opportunity to inquire later.

The price of this inn is about twice as much as the price of the surrounding inns, but this high price is not a problem for Ouyang He, after all, Yufeng Mountain Zhuangjia has a big business.

It's just that Ouyang He's appearance and dress are too conspicuous among a group of shirtless men, so from time to time in the hall on the first floor, other people will point at him with unkind eyes.

At this time, at the door of Ouyang He's room, a strange person caught her attention. I saw that this person was wearing a black mask that only showed his eyes, and he was wearing clothes that were somewhat similar to those worn by the inn junior, but he had an extra layer of black cloak on top of the clothes, and his eyes were firmly fixed on her after Ouyang He went upstairs.

Although Ouyang He was also a little confused after seeing this person, she subconsciously thought that this person was a shopkeeper who had just finished helping her take care of the room.

"Thank you!" Ouyang He nodded to her and entered her room, and just as she turned around and was about to close the door, she suddenly noticed that the strange person had suddenly disappeared.

Ouyang He recalled the situation when she had just gone upstairs, and she always felt that she had instantly felt a suffocating and powerful pressure when she first saw this person, but soon this pressure suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"This man...... What the hell is ......" Ouyang He thought with a frown, and slowly closed the door.
