Chapter 68: The fog opens
was kidnapped by the gangsters who suddenly entered the house, Mrs. Dai was surprised but not panicked, and when she spoke, she still had a smile on her face: "It turns out that the two of you haven't left Tianwei City yet." ”
Ji Cha shouted in a low voice: "Don't talk useless. And I will ask thee, where are the swords and swords? ”
Mrs. Dai glanced behind Ji Cha, and saw a handsome young man standing there, carrying two knives at his waist, which should be the bamboo cutter who had taken off the disguise of the Nanshan Sword Saint.
Seeing that Mrs. Dai didn't speak, Ji Cha said viciously: "Don't think about tricks, tell the truth." You've seen the power of this iron claw, and if I pinch it slightly, your neck will break. ”
Mrs. Dai knew that her life was in the hands of others, so she said, "Then you have to ask my husband." Where the snow drink knife is, only he knows. As for Zhong Huozi's sword, he also took it that day. ”
"So where is Dai Wanshan at the moment?"
"He's not in the General's Palace. ”
"And where did he go?"
"Barracks outside the city. ”
Ji Cha frowned and asked, "What are you doing in the barracks if you don't stay in the General's Mansion at night?"
"He will soon go to Tianjing, and before leaving, he will go to the barracks to explain the task to the others. Mrs. Dai pointed to the bookcase, which was full of folds full of words, "I'm helping him with the paperwork." ”
"When will he be back?"
"Maybe I'll be back tomorrow, or maybe I'll go back the day after tomorrow before I leave. ”
Ji Cha secretly thought to himself, if he hijacked Mrs. Dai to go to the military camp outside the city to find Dai Wanshan, the soldiers there were strong and stubborn, and there were many archers, if he and Hong Chen really fell into a heavy siege, it would be difficult to get out. No matter how strong a person's martial arts are, they can't be stronger than the entire army, and they can't be stronger than arrows like a rain of locusts.
"Then we'll have to stay in your house for another day or two. Ji Cha took out a soft thing from his arms and threw it to Hong Chen, "Quickly put on this mask, and then keep an eye on Mrs. Dai." I'll pretend to be her servant again and wait for Dai Wanshan. ”
Hong Chen took the mask and said, "When did you get this thing?"
Ji Cha said proudly: "When I went out to eat in the morning, I saw a medicinal herb shop that made a lot of skin gum and gum, so I got some by the way and made a new mask." ”
Hong Chen put the mask on his face, looked at the mirror in the room, and found that he was a young man in his twenties with flat facial features, except for a slightly stiff expression, he couldn't tell that it was a fake face at all. He asked Ji Cha again, "Are we going to wait in the General's Mansion all the time?"
Ji Cha replied: "That's natural, as soon as Dai Wanshan comes back, we will take Mrs. Dai and let him exchange it for a snow drinking knife and a camel's sword." Then he suddenly remembered something, and said to Mrs. Dai, "Is Dai Wanshan willing to exchange those two swords for you?"
Since Mrs. Dai was kidnapped, her expression has been calm, but at this time, her face was angry: "I'm his wife, isn't it worth a pair of swords?"
Ji Cha smiled and said, "That's not likely. In the former dynasty, the son of a prime minister fell in love with a good horse in the street, and the owner of the horse refused to sell it to him, so he took the master of the horse to his house, and asked the servants to bring out all the wives and concubines. So the owner of the horse took a young and beautiful concubine and took it, and left the horse to him. Do you know that Dai Wanshan is reluctant to let you go? Maybe people look at you so old, wishing that you were killed by us, just change it? ”
Mrs. Dai said resentfully: "You are not allowed to talk about Brother Shan like that." All men in the world can be negative, but he will not. ”
"You're pretty confident. Ji Cha turned to look at Hong Chen, "You say, is Mrs. Dai as beautiful as the Mrs. Huang I saw before?"
Hong Chen looked at Mrs. Dai carefully and shook his head twice: "Mrs. Dai is certainly beautiful, but she is not as good as that Mrs. Huang." ”
"Yes. Ji Cha turned back to Mrs. Dai and said, "That Mrs. Huang is much more beautiful than you, and she is still pregnant with a child in her belly, and her husband is willing to kill her." Your brother can't keep his mind unchanging. ”
Mrs. Dai was stunned: "Are you talking about Huang Xiaosheng's wife, Sister Jiang Ting?"
"yes. Listen to your tone, do you recognize her?"
Mrs. Dai's face was gloomy: "When I was young, I had more contact, and then I rarely interacted." The last time we saw each other was when I got married 20 years ago. At that time, she said that she was very envious that I could marry a wishful husband. I said, sister, you are so beautiful, your handsome and martial master brother and the suave second brother both like you, which is like me, only a piece of wood likes it. Who would have thought that she would meet someone unladylike and end up with such a tragic ending. ”
Hong Chen listened from the sidelines, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.
After leaving Ziyun City, he and Ji Cha inquired about the affairs of Fengguangmen back then, and knew that Jiang Bo took Huang Xiaosheng on his last trip before his death, and he was an important figure in the Demon Sect with many people. Mrs. Dai knew Mrs. Huang at that time, and Dai Wanshan and Huang Xiaosheng also knew each other, perhaps Dai Wanshan and Huang Xiaosheng also participated in that siege. Yesterday, I learned that Zhongli's father was a member of the Demon Sect, he was besieged and killed by someone, and his body was robbed to receive merit, and the object of Zhongli's revenge was the people who caused him to be disabled, and the Zhuguang Gate and the Tianwei General's Mansion were among them...... Could it be that that important figure in the Demon Sect is Zhongli's father?
At this time, Ji Cha put down his left hand, took the iron claw off his hand, put it back in his arms, and put another mask on his face, he also looked like a young man in his twenties, but his facial features were much more upright than Hong Chen's. Ji Cha said to Hong Chen again: "You take a good look at Mrs. Dai, don't make her silent." When I get the clothes and come back, we'll pretend to be a pair of scholars. When the time comes, Mrs. Dai's diet will be in the study, and someone will see us, and it can also be said that we are newly recruited to help Mrs. Dai handle the paperwork, and before Dai Wanshan returns, it will not arouse suspicion. With that, he walked out of the study lightly.
In the study, only Hong Chen and Mrs. Dai remained. The shadow of the candle shook more and more, and Mrs. Dai picked up a pair of scissors on the table and cut off the wick. Hong Chen remembered what he had just thought about and asked, "Mrs. Dai, twenty years ago, did General Dai and Huang Xiaosheng hunt down and kill a Demon Sect member together?"
Mrs. Dai recalled for a moment and said: "There is this matter, and it is not one person who is chasing and killing, but a family. We had just gotten married, and I was very worried about his safety. Fortunately, he returned safely. Speaking of this, his face darkened a little: "From then on, he entered the temple and worshiped the general, and was involved in many unnecessary entanglements. ”
Hong Chen asked again: "Is that person's surname Zhong?"
Mrs. Dai raised her head and said in surprise: "Few people know about this matter, and Brother Shan has only told me about it...... How do you know?"
Hong Chen only felt that Huo Ran was cheerful, and said: "The one surnamed Zhong may be Zhong Huozi's father." In that chase, Zhong Huozi's father died, and the young Zhong Huozi was also injured and left with a lifelong disability. That's why, after many years, they are taking revenge on those who hunted them down!"
Mrs. Dai was also stunned when she heard it: "Brother Shan also told me back then that there was a little girl and a little boy in that family. It turned out that the little boy back then was now Zhong Huozi. ”
"That's right, Zhong Huozi mentioned that he has an older sister. ”
Hong Chen suddenly had a feeling of seeing the sun. While the joy of solving the mystery was realized, he began to think: Is this Emperor Heavenly Sect really very hateful? Even children will be injured. What happened 20 years ago is still hurting people today.
"It seems that it is indeed a bad retribution. Mrs. Dai sighed, "Brother Shan harmed other people's innocent family members, and finally people came to seek debts and find his family's heads." On the day Yue'er came back, I guessed that Zhong Huozi's surname Zhong was very likely to be related to the demon cult figure surnamed Zhong. But at that time, I only thought that with the death of Zhong Huozi, everything would come to an end. Who would have thought that the sword left by Zhong Huozi could lure the two of you over again. ”
"Zhong Huozi is not dead. Hong Chen said, "What I said just now was what he told me." ”
Mrs. Dai's face suddenly turned pale. When she only saw Hong Chen and Ji Cha, she was not so afraid. After all, although the identities of the two are very bizarre on the rivers and lakes, most of the two of them appear for the purpose of stealing or snatching divine weapons, and those who obediently handed over their blades did not suffer any harm. But Zhong Huozi has a life-and-death enmity with his own family.
Knowing that Qiu Yun was not dead, Mrs. Dai immediately felt a lot of uneasy emotions in her heart.
