Chapter 21: The Retribution You Deserve
The afternoon is sunny and breezy to add a touch of early winter warmth.
On the deep forest path outside the city, the carriage travels leisurely, and the laughter of the girl and her mother is still heard from time to time.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and with a muffled snort, the coachman had fallen deep into the grass on one side.
The laughter in the carriage did not stop, and he didn't know that the person driving the horse outside the carriage had already changed to someone else.
At the same time, after the training in the city defense camp ended, Fang Qi was sweating but smiling, carrying a bag of fruits in his hand, walking like the wind.
"Sect Leader Fang, I bought the fruit of Wufangzhai for my daughter again."
"Yes, she loves to eat."
"It's really happy to be the daughter of the head of the sect, I don't know when, we can also meet this little niece?"
"Another day, today she went to Qingyuan Temple with her mother to make a vow, I'm afraid she will come back later."
As soon as the words fell, someone hurried over.
"Sect Leader Fang, there is your urgent letter."
"Urgent letter? Who sent it? ”
"I don't know, it was a feather arrow that came over, we chased it out, but there was no trace."
Hearing this, Fang Qi's originally puzzled expression instantly turned nervous, and he quickly opened the envelope, and after seeing the handwriting inside, his face turned white instantly, and the fruit in his hand fell directly to the ground.
He didn't care, and turned and ran out of the camp.
Because there was only one sentence in the letter.
"If you want to see your wife and daughter, at sunset, see you in the silk workshop outside the city, and come alone."
Riding all the way, he returned to the mansion first, and made sure that his wife and daughter had not returned, so he went all the way out of the city and galloped along the road to Qingyuan Temple.
It was only when I met the groom running back halfway that I was sure that what the letter said was true.
Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Qi went straight to the Silk Fanglu.
Located on the banks of the Liufang River just outside the city, Silk Fang Lu is an abandoned textile mill that has been rumored to be haunted so much that no one should approach it.
Especially at night.
By the time Fang Qi arrived at the Silk Fanglu, it was already sunset, and he had found a few rooms but had not seen a trace, so he had to stand in the center, and the roar was heard far away.
"I'm here, please show up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of a room not far away suddenly opened.
Fang Qi's dark eyes sank, and as soon as the long sword in his hand came out, he flew directly and rushed in.
The sword aura is like a rainbow, but the people inside are not the slightest fear.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, a rag doll appeared in front of him.
Jian Feng stopped immediately before reaching the rag doll, Fang Qi's face was pale, angry but helpless, "Where are they?" ”
Shi Qinghuan was dressed in dark men's clothes, and his face was completely covered by a mask.
The voice was also extremely rough.
"They're not here!"
"You're kidding me?"
"Sect Leader Fang, don't be angry, I just want to ask you something clearly, and when I get the answer I want, I will definitely let your wife and daughter return to the mansion intact, but if Sect Leader Fang doesn't cooperate, then what will happen to them, I can't say!"
"You threaten me?"
"yes, it's a threat to you, and..."
Shi Qinghuan looked at the killing intent in Fang Qi's eyes, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly, "I kindly remind you, if I can't leave here today, then you will never see them again." ”
In the end, his wife and daughter were Fang Qi's weakness, and after being pinched, although Fang Qi was angry, he could only put down his sword.
"What the hell are you trying to ask?"
"Ten years ago, what did you do in the Protector's Mansion?"
As soon as he heard the Protector Mansion, Fang Qi's expression changed, and he instantly became nervous.
"Ten years ago? It's been too long, I've got to think about it. ”
"Okay, you have time to think slowly, but I don't know if your wife and daughter have time to wait slowly."
"You..."
Fang Qi was angry, but he was helpless.
"I said, ten years ago, I was ordered to lead the city guards to go to the Protector's Mansion to raid the house, but I made a lot of money from it."
"What else?"
"And..."
Seeing that Fang Qi was still spitting, Shi Qinghuan's expression sank, "Then why don't I remind Fang Sect Head, Solemn Temple!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Fang Qi's eyes were flustered, obviously knowing that he couldn't fool him.
I had to accept my fate and confess it.
"Yes, in the Protector's Mansion, I found a dying girl with a beautiful appearance, so... secretly rescued her and sent her to the solemn temple. ”
Really.
Shi Qinghuan suppressed the anger in his heart, "What happened later? ”
"Later... You know the solemn temple, and you should know the methods of the one in the temple, and I later heard that the girl was extremely stubborn and tenacious, and she kept disobeying, and she was in a stalemate with him for several days, and finally injured him, and in a fit of rage, he poisoned her and threw her into a mass grave. ”
Hearing what happened to Shi Miaotong, Shi Qinghuan's whole person was like falling into a frozen lake.
Although I had already guessed, I didn't expect the truth to be so heart-wrenching.
The fists were clenched, the killing intent could not be concealed, even Fang Qi noticed it.
immediately took a step back and explained, "Although I am also at fault in this matter, I am also forced to be helpless, after all, that person is powerful, how dare I disobey, and this matter has nothing to do with my wife and daughter, they are innocent, please raise your noble hand." ”
"Raise your hand?"
Shi Qinghuan sneered, "How did you ever raise your noble hand to those innocent girls? You say you are forced to be helpless, you say that your wife and daughter are innocent, but in the past ten years, how many girls have you sent up? Aren't they innocent? ”
Hearing this, Fang Qi's face was very ugly, and he couldn't refute it.
The breath sank, "I have answered your question as Your Excellency said, and Your Excellency should also keep your promise to tell me the whereabouts of your wife and daughter." ”
"Okay, when did I say I wouldn't tell you?"
Shi Qinghuan looked at Fang Qi's hand holding the hilt of the sword, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, but the smile in his eyes made people chill.
"It's actually quite simple, they're right where you know best."
Fang Qi was stunned, "Where?" ”
"Solemn Temple!"
"What?"
Fang Qi's face turned pale in an instant, but Shi Qinghuan laughed loudly, "That's right, like you, I sent them to the solemn temple and sent them to that person's hands, I remember, that one likes immature children the most, your daughter's water spirit, he must love it!" ”
"Beast, she's still a child."
Fang Qi's eyes were red, and with a burst of rage, the long sword stabbed towards Shi Qinghuan as soon as it came out.
Shi Qinghuan smiled lightly and dodged.
"Really? Do you know that they are children? You still sent them up, I am a beast, you are even more, and everything today is the reward you deserve. ”
As soon as the words fell, Shi Qinghuan's figure flashed, and he walked out of the window.
"If you have time to entangle with me here, it is better to rush to the solemn temple, and perhaps, you can save your daughter before that person makes a move."
The aftermath came, and when Fang Qi rushed to the window, he saw the splash in the river far away, and Shi Qinghuan was gone.
The green muscles were exposed, and the murderous aura was overflowing, Fang Qi didn't dare to delay, rushed out of the house, got on the horse directly, and galloped away.
And just after Fang Qi was gone, a figure walked out of the next room.
It was Shi Qinghuan.
Her skills are not as strange as above, so she can only get out of the way.
Turning around and walking back to the original room, he took out a small square incense burner from a dark corner on one side.
There was very little smoke in it, and it spread throughout the room.
Shi Qinghuan turned his head and looked in the direction Fang Qi had left.
The corners of his lips hooked slightly, "Fang Qi, the poison of the soul, this time, I will pull your soul!" ”
