Chapter 111: Finding the Truth
At that time, she seemed to be numb and couldn't hear anything, seeing everyone rushing towards the only city gate that could escape, but she was ruthlessly locked up in Fenglin City forever.
In that life, Su Xiaran had no ability, so she could only let the sharp and cold sword stab at her, and she watched in despair as her husband who was drifting away left her and fled alone, not even a person who cared about her.
In this life, all this will happen again, no matter how strong Su Xiaran's heart is now, as long as she thinks of the past, the desperate moment when she dreamed back in Su Xiaran's heart at midnight will still make her feel a chill down her spine.
Rushing rain saw Su Xiaran's faint sorrow, and was relieved: "There will be no eternal peace, what should come will always come, you, as the commander of Fenglin City, will face all this head-on, and return to the way you used to be without fear of the sky and the earth, we will all support you behind you, and ..... The Five Princes. ”
Rushing Yu tentatively wanted to see Su Xiaran's reaction after mentioning the Five Princes, but what he was waiting for was Su Xiaran's long silence.
I don't know how long it took before Su Xiaran said lightly: "Don't worry, I will adjust myself as soon as possible, let's investigate the matter of the head of the Xuanyun Sect first, and see what kind of force it is."
Su Xiaran knew in her heart that now was a critical period, and she must not slack off and cross the hurdle in her heart.
Seeing her talking about business, Swift Rain also adjusted and said, "You went to Xuanyun Sect last time, and it has aroused that person's suspicions, so I advise you not to go this time."
Su Xiaran asked, "Then who do you think is more appropriate?"
Rushing Rain thought for a moment and replied, "I think you can let Fang Lan or Fang Xin go back this time." They had already come out of the Xuanyun Sect, and it was normal for them to go back to see their mentor, and they would not attract the attention of the head of the sect. ”
Even if what Swift Rain said was still reasonable, Su Xiaran still said with some hesitation: "I don't stay in the mansion these days, the general's mansion needs Sister Lan'er to be in charge, she can't do without it, but if Sister Xin'er goes alone, I don't feel at ease."
Rushing Yu said with a smile: "What are you worried about, I will accompany her to go back, with me, what are you afraid of, anyway, you are not in any danger during this time, you don't need my protection, it is better to figure out the affairs of Xuanyun Sect first is the most important thing."
Seeing him say this, Su Xiaran compromised: "Okay, then this time I will trouble you to accompany Sister Xin'er on a trip." There is another matter, after you go, you will investigate by the way to see if there are any suspicious people in the Xuanyun Sect. ”
Last time, Su Xiaran left in a hurry, and she didn't know if Han Bai had returned to the Library Pavilion to fall into the net, she had already saved him twice, if she still didn't give up, Su Xiaran was helpless.
But it is still necessary to figure out his current situation, if he is regarded as a spy by the people of Xuanyun Sect, Han Bai may not be able to escape so easily.
Han Bai's temperament, after all, Su Xiaran has been in contact with him for so long, so he naturally knows a thing or two.
As if remembering something again, Su Xiaran reminded again: "By the way, if something happens to you in Xuanyun Sect, you can go to my senior brother Fu Yingting, and he will definitely try his best to help you."
Hearing Su Xiaran mention Fu Yingting, Swift Rain said with some dissatisfaction: "What can happen with me, I don't need him at all."
Su Xiaran didn't know why when he mentioned Fu Yingting, Swift Rain would react like this.
What she didn't know was that Ye Moqing had already regarded Fu Yingting as her rival in love long before. Even they knew Fu Yingting's feelings for Su Xiaran.
But Su Xiaran himself didn't realize that if it weren't for watching Fu Yingting treat Su Xiaran really well, they wouldn't sit idly by.
In Ye Moqing's eyes, Su Xiaran had long been his person, and he would not allow anyone who was threatening to appear by Su Xiaran's side.
But at the same time, he tried not to destroy Su Xiaran's normal life.
After explaining it to Rapid Rain, Su Xiaran called Fang Xin back from the military camp, and after explaining the cause and effect of the matter to her, he asked them to set off back to Xuanyun Sect.
Fang Xin said with some doubts: "Ran'er, I can accompany him alone when I go back to Xuanyun Sect, why do you still let him come with me?"
In Fang Xin's eyes, it is a very incorrect thing to bring such a hanger.
Su Xiaran glanced at the rain and said, "Although this kid looks unreliable, his martial arts are okay, if something happens, you won't be alone, let him accompany you and I will rest assured."
Seeing that Su Xiaran had made up his mind, Fang Xin no longer shirked, and went back to Xuanyun Sect with Swift Rain.
They didn't know what kind of situation the Xuanyun Sect would greet them now.
After they left the General's Mansion, Su Xiaran also went out with them to prepare to go to the black market, the mute old man who gave her the plum blossom needle before, she planned to go to him again.
Let him equip Li Dong and the five of them with a suitable weapon, as well as Fang Lan and Fang Xin
Su Xiaran hadn't been back to the black market for a long time, but he and she would never forget the position of the mute old man.
For so many years, the mute old man has been guarding this small shop on the black market. To say that this person is really unusual. The imitation snow sword he made has not been discovered by the second princess until now. Confused for so long.
Su Xiaran lifted the shabby gray curtain and saw the mute old man striking iron inside.
The old man didn't show any surprise because of Su Xiaran's arrival, and he still had the same attitude as before. Look at this little warm yellow shop. There are no guests now, Su Xiaran said lightly: "This Fenglin City will not be as calm as this in the future, don't you plan to leave, many people have already left Fenglin City and gone to other places."
The mute old man raised his cloudy eyes and stared at Su Xiaran quietly.
Then he picked up the pen and paper at hand and wrote: "You are the new general in this Fenglin City."
Su Xiaran had a difference in his heart, why did he know his identity. But when I think about it, there are so many people going back and forth in this place, and someone must bring some news of her.
Plus this old man is not an ordinary person. At least Su Xiaran never regarded him as an ordinary person.
He generously admitted: "Sir, you are really good eyesight, but does this have anything to do with whether you leave or not?"
The old man continued to write: "Fenglin City has you, it won't break!"
Seeing these words, Su Xiaran didn't know how she felt in her heart. Even she herself is not sure that she can really defend Fenglin City.
But she will definitely do her best to protect the people of Fenglin City.
Su Xiaran smiled and said, "You really trust me. I came today to ask, is there a weapon suitable for a man of eighteen or nineteen? ”
The mute old man turned around and went straight back to the back room.
And Su Xiaran was waiting outside, she believed that this old man would not let her down.
After the mute old man entered the inner room, Su Xiaran was outside casually looking at the utensils he had made in the past. See if there's a suitable one, and take it away.
Anyway, Su Xiaran knows his rules here, no matter what he does, what utensils he fancies, it is five hundred gold coins. It all depends on the buyer's vision.
If you have a good eye and value something, then you can buy what you want at a low price. If you are clumsy, you can't see the value of things, and you can only spend money in vain.
Su Xiaran casually looked at the things displayed on the top of the cabinet. I saw that the place where the plum blossom needles were placed before has now been changed. Sitting on it was a large knife.
Anyway, Su Xiaran has always disliked such stout things. Whether it's the utensils or the top, what she likes is a little more delicate. A hidden weapon like a plum blossom needle can often put the enemy to death when he is unprepared.
Looking to the left, Su Xiaran saw a white silk, the material was made of high-quality silk, and it felt very good. Su Xiaran couldn't help but think, after the old man came out, ask the price of this white silk.
After all, such fine silk is rare in the palace. Now that he found it here, Su Xiaran naturally wouldn't miss it. Anyway, Xia Qingyi doesn't have a weapon suitable for her so far, so she can just give Bai Aya to her.
It also allowed her to practice some simple tricks, at least to be able to defend herself. Thinking of the first time Su Xiaran saw Xia Qingyi, she danced. It's been a long time since I've seen a summer light coat like that.
Now she stays with a bunch of medicinal herbs all day long, where is there still a chance to dance and cultivate her sentiments. Thinking of her appearance with this white silk, Su Xiaran felt beautiful. There is a feeling of coming out of the mud without staining.
No matter what happens to Su Xiaran when she is not by her side, she can have some self-protection skills.
Just when Su Xiaran was still thinking about it, the mute old man also came out of the back room. saw Su Xiaran holding the seemingly ordinary white silk in his hand. The old man's eyes lit up.
Picking up a pen and paper, he wrote: "Your vision is really good, so that the best Jinling can be discovered by you." It's not just pretty. It is also a high-class weapon, and many noble ladies like to use weapons such as silk. ‘
Su Xiaran touched the Jin Ling in his hand and said: "That's also Mr., your craftsmanship is good, there are many strange things, if I don't have free time, I really want to worship you as a teacher and learn refining tools." ”
Although Su Xiaran was just jokingly saying it, she didn't have the energy to learn this now, if she waited for Feng Lincheng to settle down, she could consider coming to this mute old man.
But the speaker had no intention of listening, and the mute old man glanced at Su Xiaran meaningfully, and then took out a set of thatch that he had just rescued himself from the back room, handed it to Su Xiaran, and wrote; "I heard you say that there are five of them in total, and my set of Mao is just five branches, you can see if you are satisfied."
Su Xiaran had already observed it when he got this mao. Although these five roots look no different from ordinary soldiers' grass, the texture is very textured.
At a glance, you can see that the materials used are not simple, and the black is dotted with dots, and the appearance is also very delicate. Su Xiaran couldn't help but ask curiously; "Sir, may you ask what material this grass is made of?"
The mute old man picked up his pen and wrote, "Obsidian." ‘
Su Xiaran grew up in a big family like the Su family, so she was naturally no stranger to obsidian. It can be said that obsidian is the best material for making utensils. Can't help but look good, and most importantly, it's hard enough.
If the grass made of ordinary steel was used against the obsidian mao, it would be miserable. However, what made Su Xiaran wonder was that this obsidian was very scarce, why this ordinary mute old man.
But it can be made out of it, five roots, which is a big deal. Although he can indeed make a little money by opening this small shop, it is not so rich as to use so much obsidian to do this.
Su Xiaran asked: "Old man, this set of Mao should be your baby, can you give it to me like this, isn't it too much of a loss, after all, this is not what I fancy myself, but what you recommended to me." ’
The mute old man shook his head and wrote on the paper: "My baby has only one value of existence since it was made, that is, when you meet someone who is destined, girl, you are obviously a person who is destined, and they can only play their true value in your hands." You can take these five grasses, if Jin Ling also likes it, you know the price, so take it with you. ’
Su Xiaran has always admired this kind of free and easy person, and Su Xiaran was not surprised that the old man recognized his gender. I'm afraid he already knew it when he first saw her.
Now Su Xiaran even thinks that this old man can't speak and pretends to be, but she doesn't show this. After all, everyone has a reason for what they do.
If everything is clear, it doesn't make sense. Su Xiaran saw that the old man gave these two treasures to himself so easily. He took out two bags of gold coins and put them on the table.
Said; "Thanks, we'll see you later."
After that, he left the black market with these things and went to the barracks.
On the other side, Swift Rain and Fang Xin also came to the gate of the Xuanyun Sect after a few days of trekking. This is the first time Swift Rain has been here. Ye Moqing had also studied in the Xuanyun Sect for two years.
However, Swift Rain didn't follow him at that time, just listened to him.
The first time he came to this Xuanyun Sect, which was famous throughout Fenglin City, Rushing Rain didn't know what his mood was. But as long as he thought that the current Xuanyun Sect was different from the past, and even the head of the sect was problematic, it made him feel very uncomfortable.
When Ye Moqing was here before, he had said that the head of the Xuanyun Sect took very good care of him, as if he were his own father. made him, the prince, feel the warmth.
And it's not just good for Ye Moqing alone. At the beginning, the head of the Xuanyun Sect was dedicated to the entire Xuanyun Sect. I put a lot of effort into it. Ye Moqing's martial arts when he was first enlightened were all taught by the head of the Xuanyun Sect.
So since Su Xiaran knew that there was something wrong with the current head of Xuanyun Sect, he thought of how he would react if his master knew about the news.
Fang Xin saw that he had been standing there, looking at the plaque of Xuanyun Sect and not speaking, so he opened his mouth and said, "Young Master Yu?? We've arrived. ”
Only then did the rain react and said; "Then let's go, did you give your master a word in advance?"
Fang Xin nodded slightly and said; "Long before we set off, I had already passed on the book to the Cold Moon Mentor, let's go in directly, I have the token of my sister's inner disciple of the Xuanyun Sect here, you can bring someone into the Xuanyun Sect, you come with me."
After that, Fang Xin didn't wait for the rain to speak, and walked forward first. The rain followed her. After Fang Xin showed the token of the inner disciple, he entered the Xuanyun Sect with the rain.
Looking at the grass and trees here, it was still the same as usual, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, Fang Xin couldn't help but think about how long such a peaceful Xuanyun Sect could last. looked at the miscellaneous disciples who were watering the flowers on the side.
Thinking that so many ordinary people in Fenglin City wanted to come to Xuanyun Sect, even if it was just a miscellaneous disciple, he was very happy. Fang Xin felt that the Xuanyun Sect was a sustenance.
She and Fang Lan both got a lot of warmth here, so she didn't want to see the Xuanyun Sect ruined. Fang Xin was naturally familiar with the location of the Sword Academy.
It didn't take long for him to come to Mentor Coldmoon. Tutor Cold Moon, who was waiting outside the hospital early, saw Fang Xin come back. Quickening his pace to meet him, he said; 'Xin'er, it's back, Lan'er, why didn't she come with you, she too, I don't know if the injury is completely healed, it's really unreassuring." ‘
As soon as Tutor Hanyue came up, he asked questions from east to west, which made Fang Xin cry and laugh a little, and replied: "My sister is really entangled in miscellaneous matters in the General's Mansion and can't walk, so I specially asked me to say hello on her behalf, Master, are you okay during this time?" ”
Mentor Cold Moon said with a smile; "I'm fine, what can happen in the Xuanyun Sect, but you also have to come back often, and you have to be careful everywhere in Fenglin City, you are simple-minded." It is inevitable that I will suffer losses in the future, and I don't know if Lan'er will let go of Han Bai, she is really my stupid child. ’
Speaking of this, Mentor Cold Moon looked at the rain on the side again and said with a smile; "Xin'er, this son, shouldn't it be your sweetheart, bring it to the master to see, it's really a talent, a talented woman."
Mentor Hanyue's sudden joke made Fang Xin blush. I don't know what to say. And although there was a momentary difference in the rain at first, it felt reasonable.
This Cold Moon Mentor is like the mother of the Fang family sisters, and when she sees her daughter coming with a strange man, she will naturally misunderstand. Swift Rain politely explained; 'Mentor Hanyue misunderstood, it was General Qiu who didn't worry about the girl coming back to Xuanyun Sect alone, and specially ordered me to accompany her, not what you think. ”
