Early in the morning of the second day, Qingying went to the Moyan Pavilion, and Zhixi met him in person.

"Ruling Prince, I don't know how the Lu Pavilion Master's injuries are?" Qingying asked straight to the point.

"Still recuperating."

"I wonder if I can see Pavilion Master Lu today?"

"I'm afraid you're going to run for nothing, and I'm not in a suitable physical condition at the moment." Zhixi politely refused.

"But when I came down, I had something important to tell the Lord of the Lu Pavilion to know."

Hearing this, Zhixi took a sip of tea and said, "Are you talking about Shen Ling's disappearance?" ”

"It's exactly this matter, I didn't expect the ruling son to already know."

"Yesterday, Bai Ziyan sent someone to pass the word."

"I see. Originally, my family thought that if he could find Shen Ling, he wouldn't disturb the cultivation of the Lu Pavilion Master. However, so far we have not had the slightest clue, and the prince realizes the seriousness of the matter, so he asked me to come and inform the Lord of the Lu Pavilion about this in person, hoping that the Moyan Pavilion can also mobilize people to search for it. Qingying explained.

"Regarding Shen Ling's disappearance, this son knows. Since Qianmo has not woken up from his injury, this son is not very clear about the identity of Shen Ling you are talking about. The people sent by Bai Ziyan yesterday didn't explain, and they didn't know Shen Ling's identity very well. You happened to be here today, can you answer this question? ”

"That's as it should be. Shen Ling was rescued from the Demon Sect by the Lord of the Lu Pavilion and the son of my family in Xichang, and the Shen family has been wiped out by the Demon Sect, leaving only Shen Ling as a lone seedling. As far as I know, at that time, the Lord of the Lu Pavilion promised Master Shen to take care of Shen Ling and raise him to adulthood. And after getting along for a long time, according to what I can see, Lord Lu will treat Shen Ling as his own brother. ”

I see. It seems that he is indeed going to send someone to find Shen Ling back. But why did Shen Ling suddenly disappear? "Yun Bohou Mansion is heavily guarded, how did Shen Ling disappear?"

"We are also responsible for this. The Lord of the Pavilion of the Lu Pavilion has never been back since he went out with the eldest prince of the Bai family, and later we sent someone to the White Mansion to inquire about the situation only to learn that the Lord of the Lu Pavilion was injured and returned to the Moyan Pavilion for treatment. Considering Shen Ling's dependence on the Lu Pavilion Master, the prince did not tell the truth, but found a reason to hide it from him. Qingying paused and continued: "Yesterday, Shen Ling stole the token of the Zhuqing Academy and left the Yunbohou Mansion without permission, we guess that someone deliberately told him about the matter of the Lu Pavilion Lord, so that he wanted to go to the Lu Pavilion Lord. ”

"I don't know, have you found the person you said in your mouth?" Zhixi asked.

"Not yet. However, please rest assured that if this person is found, the prince will not be easily forgiven. ”

"This son, this son knows. Moyan Pavilion will send people to find Shen Ling's whereabouts. If you have any useful clues over there, I hope to tell you in time. ”

"That's as it should be." After that, Qingying took out a painting, handed it to Zhixi, and said, "This is a portrait of Shen Ling, I hope it will help you." ”

Zhixi took the portrait and said, "Thank you." ”

"If the ruling son has nothing to understand, Qingying will leave first." Qingying got up to leave.

"Wait. I don't know if you know, why did Asa Mo appear at the foot of the back mountain behind the Zhuqing Courtyard after being injured? With that, Zhixi looked at Qingying's expression carefully.

"Is there such a thing?" Qingying was puzzled. "Although the Zhuqingyuan is heavily guarded, it is not too precautionary against the other side of the back mountain. So what the ruling son just said, Qingying didn't know before. However, since the ruling prince talked about this matter, Qingying felt that there was something suspicious in it, and he would definitely let people find out about it when he went back. ”

Zhixi didn't see anything abnormal from Qingying's expression, so he smiled: "Thank you for your family's previous care for Qianmo. ”

"Qingying must have brought the words. Leave. ”

"No."

After Qingying leaves, Mo Jie appears from the shadows.

"What do you think about this?" Zhixi asked.

Mo Jie sat down on the chair and thought for a moment, "I don't think they need to lie about this, we have to send someone to find Shen Ling." ”

"I think so too. That girl is very emotional, if it is really as Qingying said, when she comes back and finds that Shen Ling is gone, she will be in a hurry. We'd better find Shen Ling before she returns. ”

"I just hope something doesn't happen to him." Mo Jie said.

Zhixi agreed with Mo Jie's concerns, if they were just caught, they still had a chance to save them, if they ...... He didn't dare to think about it.

"You're in charge of that." Zhixi commanded.

"Okay."

……

Dongyue, Chunyuan City is a small border city. Chunyuan City then passes through another border city, Cheng'an City, and you can reach the territory of the Northern Desert.

This time, I bought food from Dongyue, and the last route of the return trip chose these two small cities, so as to avoid being too eye-catching.

Before entering Chunyuan City, Xiang Wan divided 10,000 quintals of grain into three batches, which was also to avoid attracting attention by escorting a large amount of grain at the border.

The team led by Xiang Wan had already passed through Chunyuan City and arrived in Cheng'an City, and there were two teams behind her. According to the agreement, the two teams will also arrive one after the other today. At the moment they are resting under a small hill, waiting for the other two teams to converge.

Since he didn't plan to pass through Cheng'an City, but took a detour from the border outside the city, Xiang Wan was not worried that the three teams would attract attention after merging.

"Leader Xiang, we've been waiting here for almost two hours, and the second team hasn't appeared yet, so something should happen, right?" An escort came over to talk.

Xiang Wan opened the water bag and took a sip, his eyes kept looking into the distance, hoping to see their waiting figure. A quarter of an hour passed, and there was still no figure. Xiang Wan said to the person who came to talk, "Wait a little longer. In fact, after waiting for so long, there was no trace of the other two teams, and she had no score in her heart.

"Chief, I think we'd better go first. Bypassing Cheng'an City and reaching the Northern Desert, we can still keep at least one-third of our food. If the other two teams don't have an accident, they will naturally return to the Northern Desert, and if something happens to them, it won't help for us to wait here. A subordinate suggested.

"Yes, Chief." Others chimed in.

Xiang Wan was still staring at the empty distance, and her heart also agreed with her subordinates' statements. But if she hadn't sent all the 10,000 catties of grain back to the snow-capped mountain, the envoy would not have spared herself easily.

Xiang Wan thought about it again and again in her heart, but still agreed to her subordinates' suggestion, it was better to keep one-third than nothing, if Tu Aotian wanted to punish her, she could only grit her teeth and admit it.

"Let's go." Xiang Wan ordered.

When they heard this, they all got up from the ground and prepared to continue their journey. When they were almost tidying up, the sound of horses' hooves was suddenly heard in the distance.

"Look!" One of his subordinates shouted in the direction of the sound of horses' hooves.

Everyone looked for prestige, but saw a man covered in blood riding on horseback and staggering. Xiang Wan saw the person coming clearly, and sighed in his heart, "Go up and help." ”

The two men ran towards the comer, and then helped the man down.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Wan asked eagerly.

"We are ...... to ambush ...... Whole...... Team Coverage ...... Not. The man was seriously injured and said intermittently.

Xiang Wan secretly gritted his teeth and clenched his hands, "What about the third team?" ”

"They...... ...... than us More...... Early Encounter...... Ambush. Subordinate...... Desperate...... Escape...... Come out...... Report...... Letters, quick ...... Walk! And with that, the man died.

Xiang Wan's heart was full of anger, and she reached out to close the other party's eyes. "Let's go!" According to the report, she guessed that the other party was eyeing the third team first, and because she was not sure of their route, she deliberately let one person report to the second team, and then repeated the same trick again. So they have to go right away!

"Yes!" Everyone set off one after another.

However, they had not yet walked fifty meters before they heard many sharp arrows coming through the air.

"Be careful!" Draw your sword to block later.

After a rain of arrows, half of their men had been lost. Before they could rest, a large number of black-clothed men appeared around them and killed them.

Seeing that the other party was outnumbered and menacing, the people of the Demon Sect vowed to take them all down, thinking that they were all dead anyway, so it was better to fight with the other party, and maybe they could pull a few to accompany the funeral. "Kill......"

With shouts, the two sides collided with their swords, and soon someone fell.

One, two, three......

Xiang Wan watched her people fall one by one, and she was entangled by people and couldn't get out, she could feel that the people in front of her were specifically coming for her.

"Who are you?" Xiang Wan said angrily.

"It's useless to tell you."

The implication of the other party is that he will not let himself go alive. "Arrogance!"

"Then you can try." After that, he sped up his speed, wanting to fight quickly.

The opponent suddenly attacked, and Xiang Wan obviously couldn't parry, and after a while, there were many more knives on his body. At this time, Xiang Wan was already fighting for her life, even if she fled back to the snow mountain alone, Tu Aotian would definitely not let her go. So, she chose to die in battle.

When everyone from the Demon Sect except for Xiang Wan fell in a pool of blood, Xiang Wan was actually exhausted. In the face of the other party's continued killing moves, she raised the sword in her hand like a thousand-pound sword in front of her, but unfortunately, as she knew in her heart, it was just in vain.

The sword aura rushed to her face, blowing her black hair. Then there was the sound of sharp weapons colliding, and her sword was directly cut off by the other party, and then slashed into her face. The warm liquid quickly flowed down and then fell to the ground drop by drop. Countless images flashed through her mind, and at last nothing but darkness remained.

Xiang Wan's body fell heavily to the ground, and the black-clothed man led by him approached to make sure that she was indeed dead, then put away the sword and ordered: "Bring the grain away, withdraw!" ”

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

At this point, they had intercepted all the nearly 10,000 loads of grain purchased by the Demon Sect, and annihilated all the people escorted by the Demon Sect, eliminating a small leader, but they did not lose a single member.

The corners of the black-clothed man's mouth under the mask of the leader rose slightly, because this was the first time he led the men and horses to carry out a mission alone, but he was able to achieve this record, the master would definitely praise himself when he knew it, and the prince would know about it...... I guess I still have that cold face. Alas~
