Chapter 1: Letter from the Mysterious Man

Next Chapter

The weather in June is very hot and dry, the noisy cicadas can't wait to go straight to the sky, the hot sun is like a hot oven, enveloping the entire Qianling country, but thousands of miles away in the ethereal valley is a quiet and refreshing.

"Squeak—"

Seeing someone pushing the door in, Zong Zhengliang put down his pen and teased with a smile, "How?" ”

The young man who entered the door looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and when he heard Zong Zhengliang's words, he walked up to her quickly, with an incredulous expression, "Miss is really like a god, this Xing Guogong Cao Yang really came all the way from Kyoto, but Miss, how did you guess this?" Could it be that the news of spending money to buy it in the Pavilion? ”

Zong Zhengliang raised his lips and chuckled, "Then you have wronged Miss me." ”

She blew the words that had not been dry, and suddenly said something like this, "Do you remember the incident when Emperor Qianling killed the Huo family three months ago?" ”

"Of course I know, isn't this a matter of publicizing the world? It is rumored that the Huo family was exterminated by Emperor Qianling because of collusion with foreign enemies to steal secrets, but I don't think it's so simple, there should be something greasy here. Cheng Yan was puzzled and blinked, "Why did Miss suddenly mention this?" ”

"Just look at this and you'll know." She took out a letter from the wooden clip next to her and put it in front of Cheng Yan, "Someone placed this letter in the formation of the mountain pass a month ago......"

Without waiting for Zong Zhengliang to finish speaking, Cheng Yan leaned over and pointed to the contents of the letter, and shouted, "My God-the Huo family still has survivors, so why didn't I see Emperor Qianling under a wanted warrant?" Didn't you say that the Huo family had committed a major crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans? ”

Zong Zhengliang shook his head, saying that he didn't know either, "This only survivor is a concubine who has been fostered in the countryside since he was a child, ranked ninth in the family, named Huo Jiu, three months ago, after Emperor Qianling killed the Huo family, he sent his minions to arrest Huo Jiu, but Huo Jiu escaped, broke a leg, and now he is a cripple. ”

"This Huo Jiu is also amazing, he can survive from the hands of the royal secret guard, admire! Hehe, Miss, is Huo Jiu a super powerful hero in martial arts? ”

Cheng Yan jumped up excitedly, his eyes seemed to be dyed with spar fragments, shining brightly, he was originally the incarnation of her spatial sword spirit, so it was not surprising to admire those who were skilled in martial arts.

"Quite the opposite." Zong Zhengliang couldn't help but splash him with a basin of cold water, "Huo Jiu doesn't have any kung fu at all, simply put, he should be a scholar who has no power to restrain his chicken." ”

Cheng Yan looked disappointed and asked, "Then how did he escape from under the royal minions?" ”

"Did you miss a point, although the Huo family was beheaded by the raider, but it was also a powerful knife in Qianling before, and a group of forces that the world did not know must have been cultivated underneath, otherwise the Huo family helped Qianling to end so many dirty things, if you don't take precautions, wouldn't you have been targeted by the enemy a long time ago."

"Miss means that Huo Jiu was saved by the hidden forces of the Huo family?" Cheng Yan was a little unconvinced, "Since the Huo family has such a powerful force, why don't you rescue those Huo family members who were beheaded?" Instead, he only protects an abandoned concubine. ”

"The reason for this will only be known when we meet Huo Jiu." Her bony fingers tapped the letter, "See, it clearly says that as long as I help him heal Huo Jiu's leg, half of the Huo family's forces will be at my disposal, if we have this force......"

"Don't-" Cheng Yan stopped sharply, "I think the reason why the Huo family was raided is probably inseparable from this force, and now it is not clear what Emperor Qianling means, if Miss rashly takes over, won't she take the trouble?" ”

"It's also huh." Zong Zhengliang put his hand on his cheek, and then lightly dropped a 'bomb', "But I have already promised them." ”

Cheng Yan stomped his feet angrily, and called her in a long voice with a mournful face, "Miss-"

"Okay, don't be annoyed!" She touched Cheng Yan's hairy head, "I'll tease you, I'll just avenge my revenge, and I won't beg others to help." ”

Cheng Yan was in a hurry, and his speed of speech was fast, "Miss, you misunderstood, I'm not saying that you can't find someone to help." ”

Zong Zhengliang interrupted him and said lightly, "I know that you are just worried about me and afraid that I will be involved in the Huo family disaster, but I assure you that I did not help Huo Jiu because of this elusive force. ”

"What's that?"

"Actually, I studied for a long time and found that it was not the Huo family who wrote this letter, but someone else."

"What do you mean by that?"

Zong Zhengliang turned to the other side of the table, pointed to the handstand word, glanced at Cheng Yan, and said, "This is the true face of this letter." ”

Cheng Yan picked up the letter in confusion, looked at it upside down for a long time, and then took it to the sun to look at it carefully, only to see a line of empty handwriting on the white paper, and then looked at Zong Zhengliang with a frightened face, pointed to the letter, and his hands trembled, "This, this, he, he, how do you know that Miss is the Yun Liang of the Yun family?" ”

Zong Zhengliang made a deep statement, "This person must know some things about Yunliang before, otherwise he wouldn't have sent me this letter unbelievably, and also brought news from the Wei family." ”

"What Wei family?" Cheng Yan was a little confused, just a Huo family, how could it involve the Wei family.

"The Wei family is also a big clan in Qianling Kyoto, the position of the head of this generation is held by the holy daughter Wei Wei, it is rumored that this woman is fierce and vicious, and loves to practice Gu with the human body, the news that the mysterious person gave me said that Wei Wei recently went crazy when he was in the Gu for himself, and he needed the roots of Lotus Wuqing to be used in medicine, and Lotus Wuqing is only available in Qiyun Mountain, where we are staying now, do you say it is a coincidence?"

"Coincidentally, it's a coincidence, but why did that mysterious person reveal to the young lady that Wei Shengnu needed Lotus Mist to go mad?" Cheng Yan still doesn't understand it.

"You should know that the body I crossed over, Yunliang, was arrested and imprisoned by the order of today's uncle Zhu Lian, so do you know who handed me over to Zhu Lian?"

"The eldest lady of the Yun family, Cao." Cheng Yan blurted out, "Her own daughter committed something, and finally pulled Yunliang, the concubine, out to confess." ”

"Yes, it's Cao." The corners of Zong Zhengliang's mouth hooked up an imperceptible arc, but his tone was very light, "Sigh, Cao's father is Cao Yang, the Duke of Xing Guo, who is now waiting at the foot of the mountain, the Cao family can cover the sky with one hand in the Yun family, and hold my nominally cheap father Yun Ming in the palm of his hand, and most of it is relying on the prestige of Cao Yang, the prince of the country, and Cao Yang can gain a firm foothold in the imperial court, but behind it is his other son-in-law." ”

"Wei Kongqi! Cao Yang's second daughter is married to Wei Kongqi, the previous head of the Wei family! Cheng Yan slapped the table, and he finally sorted out the twists and turns inside, "Is this Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Kongqi's daughter!" ”

"Yes, at the same time, she is also Cao Yang's granddaughter." Zong Zhengliang seemed to have a cluster of flames burning under his eyes, and it folded directly through the clouds and mist of Qiyun Mountain to the foot of the mountain, and the corner of his mouth sneered, "Wei Wei has an accident, of course Cao Yang is very anxious, since Cao Yang came to find medicine to save Wei Shengnu, then wouldn't I, who is half a granddaughter, not help a little?" ”

Cheng Yan rubbed his hands and smiled, "Miss, what do you want to do?" ”

"Naturally, it's a big gift." Zong Zhengliang grinned, his white teeth shaking.

The two of them smiled evilly in unison.

At the foot of the mountain, Cao Yang, who had no idea, shivered inexplicably on a hot day.

"Pass this letter to the mystery man." Zong Zhengliang folded the freshly dried letter paper and handed it to Cheng Yan.

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Cheng Yan took it with a hippie smile, and pretended to be serious and saluted a military salute.
