Then, the old man stepped forward and cut the rope on Yu Yuqian's body with a knife. After that, he retreated to the door of the carriage, still looking at Yu Yuqian like this, but did not speak.

Yu Yuqian's heart was furious when she was looked at by this old man, but she couldn't help but thank him when someone saved her.

Yuqian thanked her predecessors for saving her life. I don't know what the predecessors are ......? Yu Yuqian didn't guess, because she really didn't have any impression of this old man. In her memory, she must have never seen this old man.

"Are you Liu Ziming's disciple?" The old man finally spoke.

"Exactly. Do seniors know their teachers? Yu Yuqian couldn't help but feel sad when she heard the old man mention the master, but she still politely answered the old man's question.

"Where is your master?" The old man asked very directly.

Yu Yuqian's face darkened when she heard this. "The family teacher passed away a month ago."

The old man was not surprised when he heard this, but sighed heavily. "It seems that the rumors are true. Liu Ziming and Xu Hongru are dead, right? ”

Yu Yuqian nodded gloomily, "...... senior?" ”

The old man did not answer Yu Yuqian's words, but looked around vigilantly, and then gave an order to the young man under the car.

"Aobai, go and bring our horses over. Looks like we're going to have to take this girl with us and hurry back. ”

Yu Yuqian was vigilant, and her body quietly approached the back of the carriage, ready to break out of the car at any time if there was danger.

"Rest assured, girl. We are your Master's friends, but it's too dangerous here for me to tell you who I am right now. When we get out of this place, I'll tell you who I am. ”

The old man said, jumped out of the carriage, and said to Yu Yuqian in the car, "Come down!" ”

Yu Yuqian hesitated, but still jumped out of the carriage. Because she felt that this old man should not be at any disadvantage to herself, otherwise there would be no need for him to help him untie the rope. And now I happen to have nowhere to go, so it doesn't hurt to go with them. What's more, since he knows the master, maybe he can meet other people in the master after them.

Yu Yuqian got out of the carriage, and the young man had already pulled out three horses from the woods. He handed one of them to Yu Yufu and stepped on the other horse himself.

At the same time, the old man stepped onto another horse. shouted at the two of them, "Let's go!" ”

This pair of mysterious ancestors and grandchildren led Yu Yuqian all the way north, avoiding the official road as much as possible and taking the small road instead. From their familiarity with the terrain, it was clear that they knew a lot about the place.

The three of them went all the way north until they reached the vicinity of Shanhaiguan, where the grandfather and grandson stopped at a small village near the sea.

The village looks like a fishing village, but there aren't many people in the village who actually fish. Because there are not many fishing nets to dry in the village.

The grandfather and grandson entered the village and knocked on the door of a house that looked like the head of the village.

This family is the largest in the village, covering an area of four or five acres. Although most of the other families have their own courtyards, no one has such a large courtyard. This fishing village looks like a fishing village, but in fact it can only be said to be half at most. Because the west side of the village looks like a fishing village, while the east side is full of brick houses, and many homes have courtyard walls.

It was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who opened the door for them.

When the girl saw them, she took the horses of the three men without asking much question, and led them to a small courtyard. Along the way, Yu Yuqian didn't see anyone else. It's like when there was only such a little girl living in this huge courtyard. This made Yu Yuqian's heart secretly strange.

"Nine girls, we have urgent business to go back. You go and get a boat ready for us. When the old man saw the girl, he spoke.

"Got it, you guys wait here! Our family's boat that went out to sea didn't come back until the evening. It's safe here, so let's rest here! ”

"There's Miss Lao." As he spoke, the old man took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the ninth girl.

The ninth girl was not polite, took the silver, and turned around and went out to prepare.

Along the way to the north, the pair of grandparents have not revealed any news about their identities to Yu Yuqian. Their identities have been well concealed, making it impossible for Yu Yuqian to guess. At this time, Yu Yuqian finally guessed a few points.

Although Yu Yuqian is not familiar with Zhili and Shandong, this must have been the bishopric of the Wenxiang Sect, and there are still quite a lot of believers. Yu Yuqian has followed her master and sister here many times. She still knows a little about this.

And she happened to have passed by this small village.

This small village is close to the sea, and five miles ahead is the Shanhaiguan. The villagers here used to be fishermen for generations, but since the Jurchens gradually rose in Liaodong, there have been fewer fishermen in the village here, especially those in the east of the village.

According to her master, most of the fishermen in this village later changed their careers and started businesses. Because they were close to Shanhaiguan and familiar with waterways, they could transport goods from the south directly to the outside of the customs and trade with the Jurchens without having to cross the customs.

Therefore, when Yu Yuqian saw the pair of grandchildren knocking on the door of the village here, she finally thought of an answer.

It is highly likely that the grandchildren were Jurchens.

It's no wonder why they want to save themselves. She remembered that when the master had raised troops with the sect leader, he had told them that he had sent a close confidant to report to the Jurchens in Liaodong, hoping that they could respond to them in Liaodong. In this way, it is much easier for the two families, one south and one north, to capture Zhili.

But probably even the Jurchens did not expect that the Smelling Fragrance Church, which once had nearly a million believers and two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, would fall so quickly. So much so that the first messengers they sent had not yet entered Shandong, and the Wenxiang Sect had already been extinguished.

Of course, they would not have thought that there would suddenly be a Yu Ren in Shandong, who first wiped out most of the elite of the Wenxiang Sect - Liu Ziming's guards, and then dragged the main force of the Wenxiang Sect to Yanzhou, so that the imperial court calmly laid out and swept away the Wenxiang Sect in one fell swoop.

This pair of people pretending to be grandchildren was the messenger sent by Nurhachi himself to Shandong. This old man is still Nurhachi's cronies, and he is a spy on Ah Yue. And that young man is Niu Lu Aobai, one of the eight banners under Nurhachi.

The identities of the two are extraordinary, if you want to calculate according to the size of the official position, this Ao Bai is slightly higher than Ah Yue. But this Ah Yue is still a professional secret agent, and he is still a master of disguise and finding out news. And the Jurchens have always emphasized practicality and neglected fame.

So when I arrived at the Guannei, everything in this worship was obeyed by this Ah Yue.

Nurhachi's purpose in sending them to Shandong was originally to let them first contact Xu Hongru and Liu Ziming of the Wenxiang Sect, and then choose an opportunity to discuss the matter of the north-south agreement. But Nurhachi didn't expect that before their messenger arrived in Shandong, the Wenxiang Sect was forced by Yu Ren to rebel in advance, and then under Yu Ren's series of means, it finally collapsed quickly.

This Ah Yue and Ao Bai arrived in Shandong, and when they saw that the Xiangjiao had been swept away by the imperial court in one fell swoop, they knew that they were a step too late. But they still didn't believe that Xu Hongru and Liu Ziming would be killed by the officers and soldiers so easily.

It's just that when they first arrived in Shandong, Shandong is now in chaos again, and they are worried that if the two of them are accidentally discovered by the government, it will be dangerous. So they left Shandong in a hurry.

I didn't expect them to meet Yu Yuqian here in Zhili.

I can't fail to mention it here. This Ah Yue has one of the skills that he is best at. That is, the ears are very good at hearing. So when Shi Shanshi whispered to Yu Yuqian in the carriage, he also heard the conversation between the two clearly.

When he heard that the person in the car was Liu Ziming's disciple, Ah Yue was really overjoyed. However, he didn't show it at all, just ate the noodles in a hurry, and then went to the front with Ao Bai to set up an ambush in advance.

When the seven girls went to prepare for the ship, Ah Yue also explained their true identities to Yu Yuqian.

"We'll take you to Liaodong now, and when we have the chance, we can send you back. I know that your Smelling Incense Sect has a very wide range of followers in Zhili Shandong. Although we lost this battle, I believe that as long as we work together, sooner or later, we will successfully overthrow the Ming Dynasty and avenge your master. ”

Ah Yue is not just a secret agent, he is also a good psychoanalyst, and he knows what Yu Yufu wants to do most now.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that although Yu Yuqian's master died due to defeat, she didn't really want to avenge her master. Because her master had told her on his deathbed not to avenge him. Of course, there is a more important reason, the most important person who really directly led to the defeat of her master is Yu Ren, if she wants to take revenge, she will kill Yu Ren.

But for this man, Yu Yuqian can't do it anyway, and she can't hate it.

Seeing that Yu Yuqian didn't speak, Ah Yue didn't force her anymore. just asked, "We'll go back to Liaodong tonight, do you want to go with us?" ”

Yu Yuqian lowered her head and did not speak.

[I rested at home for a few days due to a foot injury, and sure enough, I still saved a few more chapters of the manuscript. So you can keep three watches these days. 】
