Red Lotus's madness
She originally wanted to bring Hongge's body back to the Ethereal Pavilion for burial. But seeing that the plague in the city is serious enough, if Hongge's corpse is left alone, it may have a very bad impact.
So she planned to cremate Hongge's body, take his ashes back to the Ethereal Pavilion, and sprinkle them in the clear river under Baiyun Mountain, so that Hongge's soul can rest and be peaceful forever.
And Mu Fan saw that his guards had already killed Miao Peony and the three of them. Recalling what Hongge said to Miao Cha just now, he came to Miao Cha's side and whispered to her: "Cha'er, I think Honglian must have also come to Fengcheng, but she didn't enter the city." At this time, she was afraid that she was still wandering on the outskirts of Fengcheng. ”
"Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to get the news of your serious illness so quickly, and let Miao Peony and the others risk coming to assassinate you. Look, do you need me to send someone to get her back right away? ”
After Mu Fan finished speaking, he looked at Miao Cha gently, after all, Honglian was Miao Cha's subordinate, and he wanted to get her permission before doing this.
After thinking about it for a while, Miao Cha agreed with Mu Fan's conjecture that the red lotus must still be wandering on the outskirts of Fengcheng at this time. If it weren't for that, Red Lotus wouldn't have been able to rush over from the Ethereal Pavilion so quickly after receiving a message from her cronies.
Miao Cha thought that Honglian was so deliberately trying to kill her, and she didn't want to let Honglian be so arrogant.
Honglian has hatred for her because of her love for Miaochen, she can understand! But she is no longer the little girl who was bullied by others, today she almost died at the hands of Red Lotus, how can she let Red Lotus get away with it?
But when she thought of Hongge's plea for her before her death, she could only say to Mu Fan helplessly: "Mu Fan, you send someone to arrest Honglian back, but please spare her life, this is what I promised Hongge!" ”
Miao Cha didn't want Mu Fan to meddle in the affairs of her pavilion, but she thought that the people in the Ethereal Pavilion were still busy working outside at this time, and they couldn't spare time. He didn't want too many people in the Ethereal Pavilion to know about it, so he entrusted the matter of catching the red lotus to Mu Fan.
"Okay." Mu Fan hurriedly nodded in response, and then beckoned his subordinates to go to the outskirts of Fengcheng to search for traces of the red lotus. At this time, he looked at the corpse of Hongge lying on the ground, and did not feel hostile to Hongge because of Hongge's sincere confession to Miao Tea before he died.
He knew that if it weren't for the fact that he sacrificed himself to save his beloved today because of Hongge, maybe Miao Cha would have been separated from him by this time.
Immediately afterwards, the barley who was knocked unconscious outside the hospital for no reason also woke up. Qing Barley got up slowly, remembering that she was suddenly knocked unconscious just now, and immediately worried about Miao Cha's safety at this time.
So she ran to Miao Cha's house in a panic, and saw two strange corpses, as well as the corpse of the female guard she knew and the corpse of Hongge lying in front of Miao Cha and Mu Fan with blood.
Seeing this, Qing Barley hurriedly asked Miao Cha with concern: "Pavilion Master, are you okay?" It's all my fault, I accidentally fell for someone else! ”
Miao Cha glanced at the barley who was very nervous, and then said softly: "It's okay, it's not your fault!" If I hadn't insisted on letting you go out and check it out, maybe they wouldn't have succeeded so easily. ”
"By the way, how are the few female guards guarding the door?"
Qing Barley thought of the corpses of the same door outside the door, looked at Miao Cha, and then shook his head sadly and said, "Pavilion Master, they have unfortunately died!" ”
Then she took a very serious look at the corpse of the female guard lying on the ground, pointed to the corpse of the female guard, and asked Miao Cha suspiciously: "Pavilion master, could it be that she is doing all this?" ”
Qing Barley suddenly recalled that when she ran out of the door earlier, she saw the bodies of four female guards lying on the ground outside the door. As a result, when she woke up just now, she found that the bodies of the four female guards were missing for no reason, and now that she saw the body of the female guard lying in the house, she guessed what happened before and after her attack.
It must have been this female guard who killed the other three female guards, and then pretended that she had been killed by someone else, and lay on the ground to lead her into being fooled. As a result, when she went out to check the situation, the female guard took advantage of her inattention and knocked her unconscious.
Then the female guards took the opportunity to unite with outsiders and assassinate Miao Cha. It's just that she is still a little curious, why didn't this female guard kill her directly, and spare her life?
Qing Barley looked at the female guard's face seriously, and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have helped the female guard unintentionally. Could it be that the female guard thanked her for her kindness and saved her life?
After listening to Qing Barley's words, Miao Cha said with emotion: "This female guard is the cronies that Red Lotus planted beside me, and everything just now was her ghost." I just didn't expect her to kill even her companions, and I think the reason why she saved your life was because you helped her. ”
Miao Cha knew that Qing Barley was a helpful and good person, and no matter who in the pavilion was in trouble, she would do her best for others. If this is the case, it is also a blessing that she has cultivated herself.
Seeing that everything was directed by the red lotus behind him, Qing Barley sighed with emotion. He looked at the four corpses on the ground and asked Miao Cha, "Pavilion Master, what should we do with their corpses?" ”
Miao Cha took a deep look at the corpses of Miao Peony and the corpse of Hong Ge, and instructed Qing Barley: "You put Miao Peony and the man's corpses together and cremate them, and then find a place to bury them." ”
"In addition, I will cremate the bodies of Hongge and the female guard separately, and then pack Hongge's ashes well, and I plan to take them back to Baiyun Mountain. As for the ashes of the female guard, leave her alone, she has betrayed me, and she deserves the fate she deserves. ”
As soon as Miao Cha finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that there were three corpses of female guards outside the door, so he continued to instruct Qing Barley: "Let's cremate the three corpses outside the door separately, and when we return to the Ethereal Pavilion, we will also find a place to bury them properly!" ”
"Yes, Pavilion Master." Qingli saw that Miao Tea was very thoughtful, and he admired it very much. Then she stepped back and went to do what Miao Cha told her.
At this time, Mu Fan saw that there was no one else in the house, and he was very distressed when he looked at the large and small wounds on Miao Cha's body. So he instructed Jian Yu, who was hiding in the shadows, to ask Jian Yu to ask Yuan Hao to treat Miao Cha.
After a pillar of incense, Yuan Hao bandaged Miao Cha's wound and left very consciously. But Mu Fan did not leave, he has been accompanying Miao Cha to take care of Miao Cha and decoction Miao Cha.
After this series of things, Mu Fan no longer wanted to leave Miao Cha's side, and left the rest to his subordinates. He was really a little scared today, if it weren't for the fact that Hongge sensed something bad in advance, he ran back to block the sword for Miao Cha. It is estimated that he could only hold Miao Cha's corpse at this time and cry loudly.
Mu Fan hugged Miao Cha with deep feelings, and then said to Miao Cha very softly: "Cha'er, I'm sorry, it was because I didn't protect you well that the enemy had a chance." Rest assured, I will never leave you behind. ”
Miao Cha felt the warmth in Mu Fan's arms, and also said softly to Mu Fan: "Mu Fan, I'm fine, I'm just worried about the sick people in the city." ”
Mu Fan saw that Miao Cha was still thinking about the people of Fengcheng at this time, so he frowned and said unhappily: "Cha'er, now your body is the most important, don't think about it anymore, take a good rest!" If you continue to worry like this, you will say goodbye to us before the day when they find a cure for the plague. ”
Miao Cha heard the blame in Mu Fan's tone, so she nodded obediently and replied: "Okay, I'll listen to you, don't think about anything and have a good rest, but don't be angry anymore!" ”
On the outskirts of Peak City, in a small cave. Honglian was wandering in place with an anxious face, and she felt very uneasy when she saw that Miao Peony and the others had not come back for so long.
Just when she wanted to leave this place and enter Fengcheng to inquire about the news of Miao Peony and the others, she suddenly felt a dangerous aura coming towards her.
She hurriedly looked up and saw that a group of Shura Pavilion guards had secretly surrounded her. Seeing that the person who came turned out to be Mu Fan's guard, Honglian thought that her plan had succeeded, and Miao Cha was dead. That's why Mu Fan was furious and dispatched his guards to arrest her.
So she said mockingly to the guards of the Shura Pavilion: "Everyone, is it that your pavilion master's beloved woman died, so your pavilion master sent you to arrest me and go back to vent my anger!" ”
Ignoring the mockery in Red Lotus's eyes, a young guard struck at Red Lotus, "Sorry girl, you guessed the exact opposite. The Miao Pavilion Master is still staying with our Pavilion Master now, but your brother is ...... girl, hey! ”
Honglian heard the meaning of the young man's words, and pretended not to care and asked, "Oh, what's wrong with my brother?" ”
Seeing this, the young man hurriedly chuckled and said, "Your younger brother has unfortunately died to save the Miao Pavilion Master!" However, your brother's death is all due to you, if you hadn't secretly sent someone to assassinate the Miao Pavilion Master, then your brother would not have died heroically to save the Miao Pavilion Master. ”
After listening to the young man's words, Honglian yelled at him with a face full of disbelief: "No, no, how can this be, how can my brother die, shouldn't it be Miao Cha who died?" ”
"I don't believe it, you must be mistaken! It must be because Mu Fan lost his beloved, so he sent you to pretend to tell me the news of my brother's death, just to deliberately anger me. And my brother is alive and well, isn't he? Haha, I'm not going to fall for you! ”
When the young man saw that the red lotus had fallen into madness, he winked at the guards surrounding the red lotus. After a few breaths, the guards took advantage of the red lotus's relaxation and easily took the red lotus down and escorted it back to Fengcheng.
