Chapter 123: The bamboo basket is empty

Do more good deeds and get good rewards, and do evil deeds and end up with bitterness.

Beware of arrogance and rashness, wait for the times to change, and dream bubbles are not to be missed.

At this critical moment of life and death, Qin Menglan suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Zhu Sangui thought that Qin Menglan was here to help him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked in front of Qin Menglan, he was killed on the spot before he could say a word.

When everyone saw that Zhu Sangui was dead, they all scattered and fled. Then, Qin Menglan took the two to a very safe place.

So, why did Qin Menglan, who used to be a subordinate of Tianji Hall, suddenly kill herself with him now?

It turned out that Qin Menglan at this moment had already reformed and become a new person, and would never do anything wrong with her again.

Now, Qin Menglan has defected to Mei Chengye and decided to work with him to crush the enemy's conspiracy.

In this way, Mei Chengye can be said to be like a tiger with wings. Since Liu Xinyu died unjustly, Mei Chengye has made up his mind to avenge his shame. Therefore, Mei Chengye was willing to take risks, and then attracted all forces for my use. When the time is ripe, he can deal a fatal blow to Jiang Xinghe and the others.

This time, it was precisely because of Mei Chengye's meticulous and careful investigation that he learned that the two might have been in danger, so he urgently ordered Qin Menglan to rush to the rescue.

On the same night that the two were successfully rescued, Yue Jichao and Kong Ruixin, who had been under house arrest by Jiang Xinghe for many days, also successfully escaped.

In ten days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Jiang Xinghe at this time is not interested in it at all.

It turned out that Jiang Xinghe had recently forcibly practiced the Ying Butterfly Sword. However, for some reason, he was injured by his sword qi many times, resulting in serious internal injuries. This situation is exactly the same as what happened to Li Yuqi's parents back then.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Xinghe almost collapsed, so much so that he did not hesitate to take the risk of going mad and practicing again. But I don't want to continue as usual, so I can only barely practice to the seventh level. If you insist on going your own way, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Jiang Xinghe originally thought that with his martial arts attainments, he could control the Yingdie Sword, but he didn't want him to be too naΓ―ve to underestimate this sword. I thought I would get a treasure, but I didn't want to invite a potential disaster.

Just when Jiang Xinghe practiced the Ying Butterfly Sword hard and was unable to do it, and then was on the verge of going mad several times, Yue Jichao and Kong Ruixin had already taken the opportunity to escape.

Jiang Xinghe took precautions, so he separated the three of them and put them under house arrest. Yue Jichao, who has lost his martial arts, and Kong Ruixin are secretly imprisoned in the underground dark room of the Guogong Mansion. Sui Yuexuan was secretly transferred to the Dustless Inn, and Murong Yuping was responsible for her safety.

The reason why Jiang Xinghe did this was also just in case, so as not to end up in a bamboo basket.

Jiang Xinghe, who pretends to be smart, thinks that he can ensure that nothing goes wrong by acting like this, but he doesn't know that whether it is his mansion or the dustless inn, they have already been targeted, and it is only a matter of time before the hostages escape.

At this moment, Yue Jichao, who was already bound by iron chains, saw that the time was ripe, so he quietly woke up Kong Ruixin on the side.

"Ah Xin, Ah Xin! Wake up! Don't sleep, it's time to go! ”

After hearing this, Kong Ruixin replied with some impatience: "Three watches in the middle of the night, where are you going, wow, don't make noise, I just want to rest peacefully!" ”

"How long have you been resting here, sleeping is said to sleep, and resting." Yue Jichao said with a smile.

As soon as she heard this, Kong Ruixin was unhappy, and even got up and said, "If you can go out, wouldn't you have gone out a long time ago?" Now the hard work is gone, and I'm still here as a kid and hero! Do you see what's around here? Iron railings, large stone gates. Now all you and I can do is to argue here! ”

After speaking, Kong Ruixin lay down again, not paying attention to Yue Jichao at all.

Seeing this, Yue Jichao laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha...... You little girl, this sharp mouth is really unforgiving. ”

Kong Ruixin heard that Yue Jichao was laughing so loudly, so she turned around and reminded: "Hey, can you be quieter?" If you alarm the guards because of this, it will be miserable! ”

"I'm just going to alarm them, and not only that, I'm going to bring them in. As soon as the door opens, we can escape from here! ”

Kong Ruixin saw that Yue Jichao was telling the truth, so she began to be skeptical. "Oh? Is it? I'd like to see what you can make a name for. ”

"You see, look, the eye-opening moment is coming."

I saw that Yue Jichao broke free of the iron chain with a little force, and then easily passed through the iron fence that blocked the two, and then came to Kong Ruixin smoothly.

In fact, all this is a trick that Yue Jichao used to make Jiang Xinghe. At this moment, instead of losing all his skills, he also waited for an opportunity to steal Jiang Xinghe's martial arts, and gradually found a way to defeat him. From this point of view, there must be someone else around Jiang Xinghe who betrayed him.

"Wow, I really didn't expect you to shrink your bones, it seems that I really underestimated you before! When you get out, you're going to have to save me with a unique skill. Otherwise, I'll tell my dad that you're bullying me! ”

"Okay, it's all up to you, okay, little ancestor!" Yue Jichao didn't dare to provoke this clever ghost.

"And who will answer us when we escape? It's not going to be that 'big deal' again, is it? Kong Ruixin asked suddenly.

"That's right, it's your son who belongs to your brother." Yue Jichao said a little can't help laughing. It must be known that the person Kong Ruixin is most afraid of seeing is this Zigui brother.

"Huh? Why is it him again, then I'd better stay here, I don't want to see him! With that, Kong Ruixin walked back to the dark room.

Seeing this, Yue Jichao deliberately scared her and said, "If you don't leave, then I'll leave by myself." ”

"Don't don't, can't I go?" Kong Ruixin followed Yue Jichao extremely reluctantly and escaped from the Guogong Mansion smoothly.

And Jiang Xinghe didn't care very much after learning that they had successfully escaped. Because now all his energy has been put into practicing the Ying Butterfly Sword and finding the Ling Snake Sword.

As for the reason why Jiang Xinghe took Kong Ruixin and the three of them hostage, it was a bit ridiculous.

It is said that it was because he heard that the Ling Snake Sword was in Kong Fanjin's hand, and Jiang Xinghe ordered Murong Yuping to carry the secret letter to Qin Menglan, so that he could secretly investigate the matter in Xiyue Pavilion.

But what made Jiang Xinghe feel extremely disappointed was that the Ling Snake Sword was not in Kong Fanjin's hands, and this news was just a rumor from the world.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghe heard more rumors about the owner of the Ling Snake Sword one after another.

Some people say that the Ling Snake Sword is in the Xiyue Pavilion, some people say that the Ling Snake Sword is in the hands of Master Yue Jichao, and some even say that this sword is in the hands of Sui Yuanwai.

However, after some meticulous and careful investigation, Jiang Xinghe finally ruled out these possibilities one by one.

The rumors are really harmful, and in this way, not only did it consume a lot of manpower and material resources, but it also almost caused Jiang Xinghe to go mad.

As for why Jiang Xinghe was in a hurry to find the Ling Snake Sword, it was probably because he thought that only after the two were combined would he be able to gradually solve the mystery.

On the other hand, Yue Jichao and Kong Ruixin are already out of danger under the protection of others at this moment. As for Sui Yuexuan, they have other arrangements.

It is said that the "son belongs to the elder brother" in the mouths of these two people is such a person, who has such a ability, so that he dares to meddle in Jiang Xinghe's affairs.

Zigui brother, full name Youzigui, is the owner of "Guiyun Villa".

Guiyun Villa, located in the mountains between Chang'an and Luoyang, can be attacked and defended, and the location is quite secret.

This village has always believed in eight words: take people's money to eliminate disasters for others. As long as the money is in place, there is nothing that Guiyun Villa can't do.

Even so, Guiyun Villa has not fallen and decayed because of this, but has become stronger and stronger.

Moreover, Guiyun Villa is not something that everyone is willing to help, after all, it also has the so-called "three regardless".

That is, those who are treacherous don't care, those who have no talent and no virtue don't care, and those who forget their ancestors don't care.

Anyone who is involved in the above points, even if he moves the gold and silver mountains here, Guiyun Villa will not do a thing for him.

If you want to talk about the return of the owner of Yunshan Villa, it is even more interesting. Because he often put the mantra of "not a big problem" on his lips, over time, Kong Ruixin directly called him so.

The wanderer has no special preferences, but he likes to fiddle with flowers, birds, fish and insects or something to relieve boredom.

A few days ago, Sui Yuexuan's father, Sui Yuanwai, spent a lot of money to ask the wanderer of Guiyun Villa to quickly rescue the little girl from trouble. When You Zigui learned of this, he happily agreed.

However, what puzzled Sui Yuanwai was that the wanderer did not ask for his gold and silver wealth this time, but asked for the "old four".

The so-called old four kinds are a pot of flowers, two birds, three walnuts, and four dates.

Seeing this, Sui Yuanwai was shocked and immediately sent him over. He knew that it would be so easy to achieve his goal, and he wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to raise silver taels.

Three days later, in the morning, the steward of Guiyun Villa came to inform the wanderer that the two had been saved, and asked him about his next steps.

You Zigui learned that Yue Jichao and Kong Ruixin were now safe and sound, so he began to try to rescue Sui Yuexuan.

Just as the steward was about to leave, the wanderer suddenly stopped him, and then asked, "What are you going to do with that naughty little girl?" ”

When the steward heard this, he was a little confused, only to see him bow his head and say to You Zigui: "Master Qiqi, of course I sent it back to Xiyue Pavilion." ”

"Never! You quickly go and pass on my orders, and let them bring Kong Ruixin here. Then send someone to inform Kong Fanjin and ask him to redeem it with ten taels of silver! As he spoke, the wanderer suddenly stood up, and then walked quickly in front of the steward.

Seeing this, the steward stepped forward and advised: "Master, is it inappropriate to act like this?" In this way, wouldn't he once again have a grudge against Xiyue Pavilion? ”

As soon as these words came out, the wanderer was silent.

Then he said to the steward, "I'm just going to shame him!" His daughter doesn't care about herself, but has to wait for others to save her! If you don't let him have a longer memory, there may be some mess in the future! You don't have to worry, I'm in charge. ”

After that, the steward began to arrange them one by one according to the instructions of the wanderer.

As for the grievances and entanglements between Xiyue Pavilion and Guiyun Villa, it can't be explained clearly in just a few words.

As the owner of the village, although he was born in a wealthy family, he has never been powerful. Because he is the second son of the You family, he was born in the second room, that is, he is a concubine.

Presumably everyone knows that since ancient times, from the inheritance of family business to the rotation of the throne, it has always been the eldest son who is the eldest son who is the heir but not the heir. As a result, it is difficult for Youzigui to make a difference.

And just a few years ago, as an important minister of the imperial court, Father You somehow formed a grudge with Kong Fanjin of Xiyue Pavilion.

After that, his father's path to becoming an official was repeatedly unsmooth. In the end, he was demoted to a small remote county and made a county order.

There is no doubt that it must be Kong Fanjin who is secretly making trouble, which caused his father to suffer such a huge change.

But then again, if his father is upright, Kong Fanjin will definitely not embarrass him, which is completely his own fault.

Moreover, the wandering son has never been treated well by his family, and his father has devoted all his love and energy to raising his eldest son, who is not a master.

Therefore, the relationship between You Zigui and his family is not very harmonious, on the contrary, he is extremely disgusted with what his father and eldest brother do.

Just when everyone in the family had no hope for it, they never expected that Youzigui would gradually establish this Guiyun Villa with his own efforts.

Seeing this, those who had ignored him in the past shamelessly came to Tian to return to him, and of course he disdained it.

It is worth mentioning that although the wanderer Zigui has been a little withdrawn since he was a child, he is a person who understands right and wrong with clear grievances. Therefore, he would never have the intention of getting along with Xiyue Pavilion, let alone treat Kong Ruixin badly. If not, how could he have helped Xiyue Pavilion get out of trouble several times?

From this point of view, Youzi Gui should be a righteous gentleman who understands righteousness and ignores previous suspicions.
