Chapter 79: The Scapegoat
But unlike before, her status has now improved. Although Ye Mingyan is a fool. But at least a second prince. Speaking of which, she Su Xiayan is also the second imperial concubine.
What if there is no love, she Su Xiayan can live in the palace step by step, because she has the right. And now Su Xiaran didn't know that Su Xiayan had returned to Su Mansion.
It didn't take long for Su Xiaran, who was still waiting for Achu's news, to see Achu come back with a task list.
After Achu handed the task list to Su Xiaran, he said: "Miss, I have been selected by the mercenary union for a long time, and I feel that this person is the most suitable for us, she has gone crazy because of her cultivation and kills people everywhere to satisfy her bloodthirsty desires, many people in the guild want to get rid of her, it would be good if we could find her first, but her whereabouts are erratic, and she often appears in some villages to commit crimes." ”
Su Xiaran put away the task list in his hand and said, "Killing so many innocent people, this person really deserves to die, he often appears in the village, right?" What is the closest village to Fenglin City? ”
Achu replied, "The closest village to Fenglin City is Yongning Village, which is in the middle of Guangling City, and we passed by. ”
Su Xiaran nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to Yongning Village, the road is close, and it won't take too long, and when this matter is over, I will go back to Su Mansion for a trip, let's hurry up." ”
Ah Chu said suspiciously: "Miss, how do you know that this woman will definitely go to Yongning Village?" If she wasn't there, wouldn't we be in vain? ”
Su Xiaran said with certainty: "She must be in Yongning Village, this task was just released, which means that someone found her near Fenglin City, since she likes to kill people in the village so much, she will definitely not miss any village, so she must be in Yongning Village now, let's hurry over." ”
After that, the two did not stop. Go to Yongning Village. If he can save those innocent villagers, it will also be a good thing for Su Xiaran. Every town, a variety of quests are released every day.
But Su Xiaran didn't have so much energy to care about the lives and deaths of some inconsequential people. This time, he was caught up by Su Xiaran. If she didn't need that kind of person to help Achu, wouldn't these innocent villagers die and no one cared about them.
But Su Xiaran is not a saint, and it is impossible to save every one. The two didn't spend much time and rushed to Yongning Village. At this time, the village was still unusually calm, and nothing seemed to be happening.
Achu said, "Miss, could it be that she is not here?" ”
Su Xiaran shook his head and said, "No, the calmer it is, the more problematic it is, let's go in and have a look." So he took Achu and stepped into this Yongning Village together.
The doors of this village are all closed, which makes Su Xiaran feel very strange, now that the sky has not completely darkened, why is there no one in the village. The two of them found a random one and knocked politely on the door.
Ah Chu stood outside the door and said, "May I ask if there is anyone inside, we want to go to Guangling City, and we want to spend the night here, I don't know if it is convenient." After a while, Su Xiaran heard the movement coming from inside.
An old woman opened the door through a crack and said, "Come in first." After Su Xiaran and Ah Chu glanced at each other, they walked in together. Wait for the two of them to go in. The old woman closed the door again.
Su Xiaran asked puzzledly: "Dare to ask you, is there something going on in Yongning Village, why are the doors of the houses closed?" ”
The old woman looked around for a moment before saying, "Recently, all the people in our neighboring village have been killed by the demon girl, and we dare not go out at night, so you should leave tomorrow, if you meet the demon girl, you will not know how you will die." ”
Ah Chu took out the task list, handed it to the old woman, and said, "Old man, look at it, is the demon girl you are talking about?" Since there was a rough portrait of the demon girl on the task list, Achu took it out for the old woman to identify.
The old woman nodded again and again and said: "It's her, it's her, she was originally an ordinary woman in the neighboring village, it was because she learned martial arts casually, and she became bloodthirsty and killed all her relatives, maybe she will come to our Yongning Village tonight, two young people, how do you know her?" ”
Su Xiaran comforted the old woman and said, "We are here to eliminate the harm for you, come and arrest her, you don't have to worry." Then the old woman was relieved. Let Su Xiaran and the others be careful, and then returned to the room to rest alone.
The sky was getting darker. If nothing else, it is estimated that this demon girl will come to Yongning Village tonight. It seems that her martial arts skills are not high, so she will pick these villagers who don't know martial arts, and dare not go to the town.
Su Xiaran took the tea in his hand and said to Achu, "Let's wait for her here tonight." I believe you can easily solve her. With so many lives in her hands, we can be regarded as doing a good thing. ”
Sure enough, as Su Xiaran expected. This demon girl found Yongning Village. Indiscriminately, breaking into a house kills people. Su Xiaran and the others heard the movement and rushed out of the door.
The two joined forces and stopped the woman without much effort. Su Xiaran injected the plum blossom needle into her acupuncture vein, and let her fall asleep.
After putting her in the sack, Su Xiaran and Ah Chu took her away. Back at the Su Family Medicine Hall, Su Xiaran dressed her up as the usual Chu Ruyu. He pulled out the plum blossom needle, and a sword solved her life.
Then he said to Ah Chu: "Ah Chu, no one knows you now, you are now taking her to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you are lazy to play >a lazy game
Ah Chu nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, Miss, I'll take care of it." ”
"Hmm" Su Xiaran replied and let Achu go. And she also thought that it was time to return to Su Mansion. Although I don't want to return to the Su Mansion full of hypocrites in the near future.
But for the sake of her mother and grandmother, Su Xiaran still had to go. After changing back into a woman's clothes. Su Xiaran took Xia Qingyi back to Su Mansion together, and the last time he left was in a hurry.
The entire Su family thought that the second miss was missing, and it was because of this incident. Su Feng was furious, and now he saw Su Xiaran coming back again, not to mention how frightened the people of the Su family were.
I thought that the second lady had disappeared since then, but I didn't expect her to come back by herself after two years. When Su Feng saw Su Xiaran, he said with a straight face: "You still know that when you come back, I thought you were dead outside." ”
Su Xiaran directly ignored him and said, "You can treat me as if I am dead, I only came back this time to incense my mother and grandmother's spiritual seat." At this time, Su Xiayan, who returned from the palace, and Su Xiaranqing, who was already married, all returned to Su Mansion.
Su Feng scolded angrily and said, "If you don't hurry up when you see the second imperial concubine, I won't care about you if you disappeared without saying a word before." With Su Xiaran's current ability, Su Feng naturally wouldn't go head-to-head with her.
Hearing him say this, Su Xiaran turned his attention to Su Xiayan, who was sitting on the side. Su Xiayan was also staring at Su Xiayan at this time. Su Xiaran secretly thought in her heart, "It seems that after Su Xiayan married into the palace, her heart has calmed down a lot."
In order not to leave the handle. Su Xiaran symbolically gave Su Xiayan a salute.
Han Bai's hidden identity was none other than the prince of Jiaolong Kingdom, a country around Fenglin Kingdom, that is, the foreigners that Su Xiaran had been worried about. However, Han Bai had been well hidden in the Xuanyun Sect and had not been discovered by anyone.
Originally, Han Bai thought that as long as he continued to hide in the Xuanyun Sect. Look for an opportunity to approach the Library. Finding the secret of the Xuanyun Sect is considered to have completed the task. But he didn't expect that Fang Lan's variable would appear in this process, disrupting all his original plans.
He didn't want Fang Lan to suffer any harm, but once the Jiaolong Kingdom and other countries launched a war against the Fenglin Kingdom, Han Bai had to stand on the opposite side of Fang Lan and Su Xiaran.
Now Han Bai already knows Su Xiaran's identity. The last time Su Xiaran used the plum blossom needle in the dense forest, he knew that Su Xiaran was the second lady of the Su family. There is only one person in this world who can use plum blossom needles so perfectly, and that is Su Xiaran.
But Han Bai didn't expose it, he kept pretending not to know, and he didn't leak Su Xiaran's affairs. Han Bai originally thought that his heart was invincible, but after experiencing the things in the dense forest.
He has gained friendship and love, and how can he bear to destroy these friendships. But he is also tasked with the Jiaolong Kingdom, which is also a responsibility. In the end, I still have to meet Fang Lan and the others.
That's why he left Fang Lan like this, because he knew that this relationship must not be easy, in order to prevent Fang Lan and himself from being trapped in it, he had no choice but to do so.
As soon as Han Bai returned to Xuanyun Sect, he was caught by Su Xiaran. Su Xiaran had to ask him for clarification no matter what. She couldn't leave an uncertain factor by her side, not to mention that Fang Lan still liked him.
Han Bai, who didn't expect Su Xiaran to wait for him here, was also stunned and said, "Brother Qiuyi, is there anything wrong?" ”
Su Xiaran looked at him in a daze and said, "Do you really regard me as a brother, then have you considered Fang Lan's feelings and left for so long without saying hello?" ”
Seeing that Han Bai didn't speak, Su Xiaran continued: "And what did you mean by what you told me last time, why did you let me take good care of Fang Lan, the person she likes is you, why can't you take good care of her." ”
Originally, Han Bai didn't want to answer this, but Su Xiaran was so aggressive, he could only say: "We are not all the way, this relationship can only be a bond, I did it for her good." ”
Su Xiaran then asked, "What do you mean by this?" Are you saying that Sister Lan'er is your bond? Who are you? ”
Su Xiaran had already asked about this, but Han Bai still didn't answer her question and walked away directly from her side. Su Xiaran didn't catch up again, but there were many doubts in his heart.
Su Xiaran didn't want to care about their affairs, but she didn't want Fang Lan to be hurt either. It seems that this matter still has to be discussed with Fang Lan again. didn't dwell on this matter anymore, and Su Xiaran also left.
But seeing the matter between Fang Lan and Han Bai, as well as the scene where Fang Lan didn't even care about his life for Han Bai, Su Xiaran unconsciously remembered Ye Moqing. She couldn't understand why she thought of him from time to time.
picked up the jade pendant hanging on his waist and stroked it gently, thinking about where he had gone since the last goodbye, and whether he thought of himself as much as he thought of him.
Just as Su Xiaran was walking and thinking, he unconsciously walked to a place in the Xuanyun Sect that Su Xiaran had never been to before. When I first entered the Xuanyun Sect. Su Xiaran had already followed behind the elders and memorized all the places in the Xuanyun Sect, large and small.
Only the place where he is now is that Su Xiaran has not been here before. The place was smoky, and there was not a single shadow to be seen for a long time. Su Xiaran walked forward curiously, and saw two big characters on a stone tablet, "Forbidden Land"
