CHAPTER XLIII

Unknown woman

——————————————————

......

After drinking the glass of wine, Jiang Heng picked up a small piece of fish and stuffed it into his mouth.

For some reason, there was always a sense of intimacy when I sat across from the woman.

She didn't say a word, as if she had been talking to him for a long time.

Turning his head to look at the Nanqi Prefecture Mansion thousands of miles away, Jiang Heng sighed and said: "It's a magnificent river and mountain, but it will eventually become the burial ground of heroes." ”

The woman looked at him, and Jiang Heng continued, "You must be curious why I said this, right?"

Jiang Heng shook his head and sighed again: "Actually, I don't know why, I always want to talk to someone...... Especially when you see a pair of brothers who want to become enemies because of their power, you always can't help but feel a feeling, do you also feel this way?"

The woman was silent.

Jiang Heng continued: "If you are the mother of that pair of brothers, I don't know how it will feel when you see them killing each other? Anyway, I can't stand it, although I admit that I don't like one of them, but as long as he doesn't act excessively, I won't have any hostility." Unfortunately, based on some of the things I have found, I am destined to have an argument with him......."

Jiang Heng looked at the woman, looked at her calm eyes and continued: "Are you curious why you have to have a dispute? Because of my rules, I can tolerate him doing some treacherous and greedy things, but I can't tolerate him doing something that violates heavenly principles......

At this point, the woman suddenly moved.

She picked up a piece of fish and put it on a small plate in front of Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng looked at her, although he didn't understand what she meant, but this mysterious lady could give some reactions, which already meant that she was listening carefully to Jiang Heng's story.

Jiang Heng chewed the small piece of fish meat she had put on his plate into his mouth, it was the fish he cooked himself, the woman didn't add anything to the fish, but why did she feel a sense of intimacy?

It's like—

That night many years ago......

He came from another world and floated in the icy waters for an unknown amount of time.

One leg was soaked so badly that it was crippled.

He was picked up by an uncle with a fishing net, and after he was rescued from the shore, the first bite he ate was this fish meat, and the first bite he drank was this fish soup.

After many years, even if the cultivation has reached such a realm, it still can't be forgotten.

Uncle.......

The sorrow of that moment instantly fell on my heart.

The tear spilled out of the corner of his eye and crossed his cheeks.

There was surprise in the woman's eyes, and for the first time her eyes had changed.

She should also sigh that the cultivation of this young man in front of her is not low, and his mood is not low, what touched him and made him can't help but shed this tear?

The woman took a handkerchief from her cuff and put it into his hand, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes.

This plate of fish still has to be eaten......

The woman pointed to the medicine fields in the distance, although she was silent, Jiang Heng understood that she probably wanted to ask what was going on with those medicine fields to divert Jiang Heng's attention.

When it comes to medicine fields, Jiang Heng naturally talks a lot.

"I'm an alchemist, and ordinary alchemists think that cultivating medicinal fields is a bit demeaning to their status. But my enlightenment told me that if I want to become a top alchemist, I really have to learn how to grow herbs.......

.......

It was like two generations talking until late at night.

The woman didn't seem to have the intention of staying overnight, Jiang Heng saw that she was not afraid of the night outside the garden at all, and already knew that the strength of the woman in front of her was probably beyond her own as she guessed.

Jiang Heng took the initiative to send her to the door, looking at her gradually walking away figure and preparing to turn around and return to Baicao Garden.

His steps faltered, his eyes were on one side, and a touch of blood flashed between his noses.

Jiang Heng looked diagonally in front of him, and a faint aura lay in the grass.

Could it be that he was too engaged in talking to the woman and didn't notice the existence of this breath, or was the woman isolating everything around her, so Jiang Heng had no way to detect it?

It's not something that can be figured out all at once!

Jiang Heng's figure moved, and in an instant, he arrived at the edge of the grass. Look at the figure of a woman lying in the blood-spattered grass.

The woman was lying on the ground right now, her breath so faint that she was almost dying.

"You're in luck!"

Jiang Heng looked up and saw that the few hidden breaths in the distance were slowly surging, Jiang Heng reached out and grabbed the woman and brought her back to the Hundred Herb Garden.

An enchantment immediately rose outside the Hundred Herb Garden, and the enchantment instantly wiped out the Hundred Herb Garden from here, leaving only the Hundred Herb Lake, which was still planted with medicinal fields, left there.

The undercurrent figures quickly gathered towards the place where the woman had fallen:

"What about people?"

Looking at the blood stains on the ground, an old voice said, "The blood stains have not dried yet, they should be nearby!"

It's just that it's all around, where will it be?

In that night, it was difficult to see the appearance of these people, and they could only rely on their voices to distinguish that the most powerful of these people was naturally the one with the oldest voice.

"Senior Hongli, we have searched all around, but we have not found the whereabouts of that woman. ”

After a few people searched the neighborhood carefully for a while, they turned back again and reported to the so-called 'Hongli'.

The old figure kept staring at the direction of Baicao Lake, revealing a trace of doubt: "This wild lake is very well organized, and it has been planted with medicinal fields." Do you see anyone around here?"

The crowd replied, "I didn't see it, we found the medicine field." It is indeed artificially cultivated, but there are no people in this hundred miles radius, and there are deep mountains and old forests in the distance, and ordinary people dare not approach. ”

Hongli pointed to the location of the vanished Baicao Garden and asked, "The old man remembers that there was a deserted manor here, why is it missing now?"

A deserted manor?

Because the manor is so old, many people don't know about its existence.

Only some of the older ones.....

"That's it!"

Hongli turned around: "That family has long been defeated, and now it is normal that the manor has been completely demolished!"

Then he left slowly, and said: "That woman will definitely go to the Nanqizhou Mansion, I just need to go to the various entrances of the Nanqizhou Mansion to guard." Remember, you must not let her enter the Nanqi Prefecture Mansion, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

The crowd followed Hongli and departed with him.

And in the garden of herbs that seems to have disappeared—

After a woman with a weak breath was taken to the manor by Jiang Heng, Jiang Heng took out some pills and quickly gave her a quick dose.

After the pill entered her mouth, it immediately had an effect, and the woman instantly sobered up, and a short sword in her cuff stabbed Jiang Heng in the face.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that the person in front of her was very strong, and she instantly saw through the flaws in the swordsmanship: "Light Wind Swordsmanship? Hmph, I haven't used it for a long time...... Are you from the Qingyan Ancient Sect?"
