Chapter Fifty-Six: I Smell Adultery
After playing in Kyoto for a few days, there was still no movement from Gao Zihan's side.
"Eh, I almost forgot, Mu Xuanfeng asked me to take the box and let me go to the plum tree to find Yun Niang, I have to hurry up to save his junior sister!" Ling Mo suddenly remembered Mu Xuanfeng, the poor little one who didn't survive a single episode, and had to save his junior sister.
"Hey, plum blossom tree, is this the plum blossom tree that Mu Xuanfeng said?" According to the information they received, Ling Mo and Nan Junyu finally found the plum tree.
"Mu Xuanfeng? Do you recognize...... Mu Xuanfeng? A tall, good-looking, well-mannered, well-mannered woman dressed in blue turned from the other side of the tree and asked with some surprise.
"Are you ......?" Ling Mo looked at the woman in front of her, could she be.
"The concubine's name is Yun Niang." Yun Niang's voice is very tactful and good.
"Oh, you're Yun Niang, I've finally found you." Ling Mo felt a little numb about claiming to be a concubine.
Ling Mo told the story of Mingjian Villa's chance encounter with Mu Xuanfeng and the fact that he entrusted him to come to her.
"Ruyan also had an accident? Xuan Feng actually ...... How so? Could it be him? No...... Won't? Yun Niang was a little sad, and suddenly thought of someone, and then cried a little bit and denied it.
"Yun Niang, who are you talking about? What does it have to do with Mu Xuanfeng? Ling Mo felt as if there was another story to listen to, and it seemed to be a bloody story.
"I'm just guessing...... This Sword Villa is surrounded by water on all sides, it is difficult to attack with one hand, and it was destroyed overnight, if there is no internal cause, it is absolutely impossible, and this internal should be very related to Xuan Feng, although I have a guess in my heart, but there is no evidence, there is no way to determine, you take me to verify one or two. Yun Niang was a little uncertain and a little sad.
"The matter of Mingjian Villa is also my family matter, we can't just rely on Yun Niang to find evidence, we also have to do our best." As soon as Nan Junyu heard about the folk villa, he hurriedly spoke.
"Well, it is impossible that there is no movement in the vicinity of Mingjian Villa before the accident, if the two of you can go back to the vicinity of the Folk Villa to check the news, maybe they can find the corresponding clues." Yun Niang said.
Ling Mo nodded.
The two came to the pier and left Kyoto by boat.
"We ...... It's back in the Valley of Floating Clouds. Ling Mo looked at the familiar place and said.
"Yes, I'm back again, I still remember that half a month ago, I received a farewell letter from my father and came to Fuyun Valley......" Nan Junyu looked at the lake in the distance, and his thoughts seemed to return to half a month ago.
"Yes, I only came to this Jianghu half a month ago, and when I arrived at the Famous Sword Villa, I met Mu Xuanfeng and the box, and at that time, it had been more than 10 days since your father, Nan Weishan, the owner of the Famous Sword Villa, was killed...... "Ling Mo recalled the original situation.
"My father didn't take the box with him, his letter said that it was to lure away the people of the Blood Demon Palace, and he fought hard to break through and hid the box in a secret place in the Famous Sword Villa.
Mu Xuanfeng only got the box more than 10 days after his father's death, and he must have tried his best to sneak into the folk villa occupied by the Blood Demon Palace, but how could Mu Xuanfeng know where the box was?
It seems that we have to take a closer look to figure out what happened before the accident at the Famous Sword Villa, so let's split up!
You continue in the valley to find news of the inner causes, and I go out into the valley to find out...... After we found the clue, we met at the bridge where we first met. Nan Junyu's voice was a little cold, and he was still very uncalm when he talked about this matter.
Ling Mo nodded, and Nan Junyu continued to take the boat to the Famous Sword Villa, while Ling Mo stayed in the Floating Cloud Valley to continue looking for clues.
Ling Mo thought about it, and went to the house in the valley to find Shi Qingqing to inquire about the news.
On the grass in front of the house, Ling Mo saw Shi Qingqing.
"You're back? Only...... Are you alone? Shi Qingqing was a little happy when she saw Ling Mo, and then looked behind her again.
"Nan Junyu is also back, but we are going our separate ways, we should see you later, are you okay?" Ling Mo didn't expect that Nan Junyu's stingy man was quite popular with girls, thinking about the first two, and then looking at the cute little girl in front of her, and then thinking about the grief that she suffered from the departure of her relatives some time ago, she asked with some concern.
"Good...... I've planted a lot of things, and when the harvest is over we can exchange money and renovate these houses. Shi Qingqing seems to have come out of her grief, and there is no grief before.
"Do you remember what happened before the accident at Famous Sword Villa?" Ling Mo asked Shi Qingqing to see if anything special had happened.
"Wait until I think about it...... It doesn't seem to be. Shi Qingqing lowered his head and thought about it carefully.
"If you think of something, come to us at any time, I have to find someone else, so I'll take my leave." In order to complete the task, Ling Mo had no clues in this place, and he had to go to the next person to ask for clues.
"Will you stay here for a while?" Shi Qingqing suddenly asked.
"Yes!" Ling Mo looked at her and said seriously.
Ling Mo followed Shi Qingqing to another house in Fuyun Valley and found Lu Li.
"Ahem, hello Mr. Lu Li, I came back this time to see if there was anything special happening before the accident in Mingjian Villa." Ling Mo looked at the handsome man in front of him, his mind wandered and he didn't seem to notice her coming, so he coughed lightly twice to recall his thoughts.
"You...... Is it to find a clue to the internal response? Lu Li looked at Ling Mo with a look that was a little wrong.
"Yes, Mr. Lu Li, how do you know?" Ling Mo was a little puzzled, could he have something to do with this matter? Or does he know the inside story?
"That Sword Mountain Villa is easy to defend and difficult to attack, echoing our Floating Cloud Valley, if it doesn't overturn overnight, we will definitely help.
In this way, the news of the accident will spread, and soon the big factions in the rivers and lakes will flock to it, and the Famous Sword Villa will not be captured.
But it was in this night that the folk villa was breached, and it would not have been possible to do this without Neiying.
However, I really didn't notice anything, and maybe you would be rewarded by asking more in the village.
If there's anything you can't figure out, come back to me. Lu Li expressed his opinion.
"Mr. Lu Li and Yun Niang's analysis is the same, it seems that there is really an internal response, then I will continue to look for clues, thank you Mr. Lu Li." Ling Mo nodded but didn't expect that this matter had nothing to do with him at all, but he was worthy of being the military advisor of Fuyun Valley, and his analysis was the reason.
Lu Li nodded.
Ling Mo found Ming Wu again, at this time he was still dressed as when they first met, and there was no change.
"You're back?" Ming Wu looked at Ling Mo without much mood swings.
"I'm back, Brother Mingwu, I want to ask you something, did you encounter anything special before the accident in the Famous Sword Villa?" Ling Mo asked.
"What happened before the accident at Mingjian Villa, well, I don't remember much about that night." Ming Wu seemed to be a little evasive when he spoke.
"Don't remember?" Ling Mo was a little puzzled, and his expression didn't seem to be normal.
"I don't remember, don't ask, I'...... I don't want to tell outsiders. Mingwu frowned, and his tone was a little different.
There must be something hidden from me in this Mingwu, I have to find a way to let him tell me, Ling Mo thought in his heart.
"Then I won't bother you for now." Ling Mo decided to go to someone else first to see if there were any other clues.
"Red Summer, I'm back!" Ling Mo stood in Ning Hongxia's room, shouting outside.
"It's you, tell me about some handsome teenagers in Kyoto, I just finished painting my portrait, I can send them them." Ning Hongxia opened the door and said with some joy when she saw Ling Mo.
"Uh...... Let's talk about this later, I want to ask now, did you encounter anything special before the accident at Mingjian Villa? Ling Mo didn't expect Ning Hongxia to be such a girl, and the topic of change was still back to business.
"That night...... So shy...... So shy...... That person ......" Ning Hongxia covered her face when she said it, and said a little shyly.
"What happened that night?" Ling Mo asked, looking at her like this, she smelled a smell of adultery.
"He, he...... It's too shy to tell outsiders. Ning Hongxia blushed, shyly unable to speak.
There is also something about Ning Hongxia's shyness, it seems that she has to talk to her well.
"There's something...... I want to ask you for help. Ning Hongxia lowered her head with a foot and whispered.
"It's rare to see Hongxia squirming and pinching, let's talk about it, what's the matter?" Ling Mo only felt that the little girl's shy appearance was very cute.
"There's something on the table over there, and I want you to take a look at it for me." Ning Hongxia pointed to the things on the table in the corner of the room.
"Hmm." Ling Mo felt that the whole god was mysterious.
"What is this?" Ling Mo looked at the things on the table a little and was confused.
"How's my portrait? Is it good-looking? Ning Hongxia asked with sparkling eyes.
"It turned out to be your portrait, good, good-looking." Ling Mo looked at the person on the painting on the table, speechless for a while, but couldn't help but say the opposite with a clear conscience.
"It's really good-looking, look at your appearance, you know that you have never seen a beauty, this painting will be given to you, take it with you to admire the demeanor of my beauty." Ning Hongxia swept away her shy appearance and laughed.
"Huh? What are you going to give me? Ling Mo looked at the words on the table and twitched the corners of her mouth violently.
"If you take it, you can take it, so much nonsense." Ning Hongxia impatiently rolled up the portrait on the table and stuffed it into Ling Mo's hand.
"I think you are more and more pleasing to the eye, and I will tell you about the events of that night." Ning Hongxia nodded with satisfaction.
"That night, I was washing my hair by the water, and who knew that there was a guy in black clothes and half of his face covered with a black cloth, peeking ...... I'm scared to death.
Then the guy with the black cloth covered his face was spotted and he ran to the docks. Ning Hongxia said a little shyly.
“?! Well, that's it, I thought ......"
"Why?" Ning Hongxia raised her head and looked at Ling Mo and asked.
"It's nothing ......" thought it would be more exciting, but I didn't expect it to be so simple, just a peek at washing hair.
"Alright, then I'll go first." Ling Mo waved his hand, preparing to go to the bridgehead and find Nan Junyu to see if he had any new clues.
"A sword...... Ling Chen. Nan Junyu stood alone at the head of the bridge, looking at the lake, and muttered softly.
"Are you alright?" Ling Mo looked at him a little worriedly, this guy was not in the grief of the tragedy.
"It's a book of martial arts secrets, and the martial arts in it turned out to be something I had learned." Nan Junyu said with the book in his hand.
"Have you studied? But weren't you very young when you left the Famous Sword Villa? According to what happened before, Ling Mo basically understood his situation, and asked a little puzzled.
"It was my father-in-law who taught me, thinking that these were all arranged by my father, and he sent me away but tried to teach me martial arts, he probably expected that the Famous Sword Villa would not be able to escape this catastrophe, and he would not be able to escape the incident ten years ago, alas." Nan Junyu took a breath, his eyes were dim, and he was immersed in sadness.
"It's all in the past, don't think too much about it." Ling Mo looked at him and knew that comfort didn't play much of a role.
Nan Junyu was silent, and it was difficult to calm down when he was in a good mood.
"This sword of your family, Ling Chen, is really powerful." Ling Mo silently changed the topic.
"Really?" Nan Junyu finally turned around.
It seems that Nan Junyu has not yet come out of the heartache touched by his father's relics!
"Brother Junyu, I've come to see you." At this time, Shi Qingqing walked over and said happily.
"Yes...... Green? Nan Junyu glanced back at her, seemingly a little dazed.
"Well, it's me, Brother Junyu, what's wrong? Are balloons bad? Let's go out for a walk together! Shi Qingqing also saw that Nan Junyu was not in a very good mood at this time, and proposed.
"Qingqing, can I call you sister in the future? Qingqing's sister. Nan Junyu didn't seem to have it yet, and when he came out of the grief of losing his sister, he probably remembered Nan Zili when he saw Shi Qingqing.
"Sister...... Shi Qingqing didn't seem to understand why he suddenly called his sister.
"Alright, that's it. Do you know? I've learned a new swordsmanship, but it's my father's. Nan Junyu didn't wait for Shi Qingqing to agree, and talked about his own thoughts.
"Oh, is it? Speaking of which, I found a secret book from my father. Speaking of which, Shi Qingqing also seemed to recall his father's affairs, and his words were a little sad.
"Alright, alright! You don't know any martial arts, no matter what cheats, let's go catch fish! Nan Junyu knew what she was thinking when he looked at her, and quickly interrupted her thoughts.
Saying that, the two joked as they walked, maybe it was two people who had also lost their loved ones, and they had more common words together, and the two gradually stopped thinking about the past.
Watching the two of them go farther and farther away, Ling Mo didn't bother them.
Ling Mo decided to ask Ming Wu for clues.
"Since you've been here twice, I'll tell you, last time I accidentally saw it, there was a man in black peeking at Qingqing washing his hair, and then left in a hurry, but when I went to chase him, I was accidentally hit into the water by him." Ming Wu said with some embarrassment.
"Oh, I see, but it's just a hair wash and, what's embarrassing to say." Ling Mo was a little speechless about this, and it wasn't that she was so shy and embarrassed when she saw that she was taking a bath.
"The last time I fell into the water, I floated with the water to the Famous Sword Villa.
But I unexpectedly saw two people, the two of them seemed to say something secret, I only heard tomorrow, open the door to greet each other.
I only know one of them is Ji Bai Wolf from the Bloody Palace, and the other old man, I don't know.
Ji Bai Wolf is on the dock outside the valley, maybe he can figure it out if he finds him. This time, Ming Wu told everything he knew.
