Chapter 21: Coming
What happened next, for some reason, she remembered it a little vaguely, only knowing that her father who was so angry that he was close to collapse and the clansmen roared frantically for revenge. And I don't know how I found the approximate location where Teacher Huiyin was hiding. Then he kept inviting exorcists, swordsmen, and onmyoji to go on a crusade.
Although she had mustered up the courage to argue that there must be some misunderstanding, the 'hideous' clansmen pointed the finger at her in the next moment, and some even directly questioned whether she was also in collusion with this 'monster'.
What made her even more unbelievable was that even her father, who had always been so rational and open-minded, became extremely strange in his eyes when he looked at her after hearing this question.
Suspicious, sad and angry, and even a hint of invisible resentment. The moment she saw that cold look, she only felt that the strength in her body was drained all of a sudden.
Although in the end, she was not really taken down and tortured to extract a confession, as some almost insane clansmen claimed. But then she was half-helped and half-pulled by a pair of servants and brought back to her room. Since then, she has been under semi-house arrest.
It wasn't until she heard the news that the family had invited the rumored Lord Sword Saint to come to slay the demons and eliminate the demons, she was so anxious that she used a secret passage in her room to escape to the outside, preparing to warn Huiyin.
Speaking of this secret passage, Hui Yin specially helped her build it in order to be able to take her out for a walk in secret occasionally. Although she didn't know why Huiyin was able to make a secret passage so easily and quietly. But now that I think about it, with all the magic of Huiyin, it is not surprising that there is a secret passage.
Then the matter was very clear, after the family found out that they had fled, a group of clansmen immediately sent people to chase them. Just before she was almost overtaken, she was finally discovered by Huiyin, and then she was brought here.
……
The memories soon ended, and Ali looked at the small woods that came into her eyes through the window in a daze, and muttered unconsciously: "Teacher Huiyin......"
Closing his eyes, the chaotic emotions slowly converged one by one, eliminating unnecessary interference, and his mood slowly returned to calm. No amount of worry is useless now, and only a sober analysis may be able to find the answer to the problem at hand.
First of all, judging from the current basic situation, the conflict between Teacher Huiyin and the upcoming 'Sword Master' is inevitable. The only way is to prove Huiyin's innocence thoroughly before this and find out the truth of the matter.
Only in this way will it be possible to appease the anger of the people and avoid the worst. Maybe you can even further use the power of the 'Juggernaut' to eradicate the 'mastermind behind the scenes' in one fell swoop.
And now the problem, she still has no clue about the truth hidden behind this matter. No matter how you analyze and compare, the only result is that Teacher Huiyin should have been framed by the unknown 'monster' calculation. And the unknown 'monster' is still very likely to be hiding in the town.
There is nothing else to think about, what the real body of that 'monster' is, what its purpose is, and so on, it is impossible to guess. After all, any inference needs to be supported by sufficient intelligence, and unfortunately, I have been under semi-house arrest before, and I have never obtained information at all.
However, since Teacher Huiyin deliberately hid so close to the town, I think it was to facilitate the investigation of the truth of the matter. Later, you may be able to exchange information with Teacher Huiyin.
And the fortunate thing in the misfortune is that Teacher Huiyin's previous actions have always been very measured, and those exorcists who came to the door to crusade against the onmyoji were just defeated and expelled. Since there were no casualties, it didn't make things worse, at least not to the point of no return...... And then there's ......
Thinking like this, Ah Li's consciousness gradually blurred, until he fell into a deep sleep again.
……
On the other side, at this moment, the barnyard family, a group of people finally ushered in the 'distinguished guest' who had been waiting for them. Under the guidance of his attendants, Mo got out of the carriage and looked at the mansion in front of him. In front of the gate, there were already people waiting to welcome them.
The head is the head of the barnyard family, Ali's father. Greeting him at the door as the head of the family is enough to show the importance and courtesy of the other party.
After a few simple greetings with the head of the family who heard that he had lost his beloved son, Mo and his party were welcomed into the house.
After entering the house, after the chairman of the sub-guest sat down, soon, the middle-aged man who looked a little fat cut straight to the point: "This time, I am really grateful for the help of the Usuke family, and I am very grateful to His Royal Highness Mo for coming in person." Here, on behalf of the Barnyard Family, I promise that as long as His Highness Mo can get rid of that damn monster, we will be willing to pay whatever the price. ”
This is a very heavy statement, no matter what the price is intended to pay? An inexplicable look flashed in Mo's eyes, and he looked at the man in front of him.
Obviously, he looks no more middle-aged, but the gray hair on his head has occupied more than half of the position, and I don't know if it is because it is the case or because of exhaustion during this time.
barely kept a calm face, but you could see through the bitter resentment and anger that rolled behind his gaze. And the luxurious and smooth clothes on his body could not hide the depression and powerlessness that came out from the inside out.
It's very much like the appearance of a powerless father who can't take revenge for the loss of his beloved son, Mo shook his head secretly in his heart.
But that still doesn't explain the many doubts. The first question is, even if this 'father' is carried away by anger, will the whole clan be dizzy? Gambling everything at any cost, just to avenge a dead family heir? It's really not a funny joke.
Of course, on the bright side, Mo still responded: "The master of the barnyard field family is serious, since I am here, I will naturally take action to get rid of the 'monster' who does all kinds of evil." The barnyard family only needs to pay the previously agreed remuneration afterwards. ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then said, "His Royal Highness Mo is righteous, and the barnyard family will definitely not forget this kindness." Well, I wonder when His Highness plans to make a move? The tone seemed to be full of confidence, as if as long as the ink was shot, everything would be worry-free.
Mo took a sip of hot tea, and he easily caught the other party's impatience in his tone. However, this is understandable, since it is such a 'deep hatred', it is natural to hope that the sooner the revenge, the better.
"I'm not busy, the information given by the barnyard family before is still somewhat omission. In order to be sure, I need to gather further information to confirm it. ”
Hearing this, the other party suddenly became anxious, "But if you don't hurry up now, I'm afraid that the other party will run away after hearing the news of His Highness Mo's arrival." ”
"Oh?" Mo raised his head, "But didn't the intelligence say that the other party had been hiding in the nearby lake to heal his wounds, and how did the other party know that I was coming?" ”
"Uh...... This ......" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, how to explain this, could he tell the other party that his family was unfortunate, not only his son died at the hands of the other party. Even her daughter colluded with the 'monster', and she had escaped from the clan before, and she couldn't go to report the news.
"Haha, I just said it casually, please don't mind the head of the barnyard field." Mo quickly snorted, which can be regarded as giving the other party a step down. And in those dark eyes, his eyes were deep, scanning everyone present, sure enough, this time the matter was not simple......
