Chapter 44: The First Appearance (2)
"Tell Mrs. Duan that something happened to Yun Ke. A tall, white-robed middle-aged man hurriedly walked in and said.
"Ling Yipiao, how many times have I told you not to be so noisy. What's the matter, Yun Ke, she's dead?" Mrs. Duan, who was sitting in the chair, put down the teacup in her hand with a calm face, and replied with some dissatisfaction.
This person is the lady in the carriage driven by Yun Ke in the Qinggang Mountain Road before.
This Mrs. Duan's face is actually somewhat similar to Yun Ke, but the clothes and hanging accessories are more luxurious. Although he is old enough to hear voices, his facial condition is still very good, and he looks like he is only in his thirties.
Mrs. Duan's attitude towards responding just now made the middle-aged man named Ling Yipiao a little angry.
What does this response mean, Yun Ke is a living person! I have been serving you conscientiously, but now that something has happened, why do you have such an attitude, and I don't even care at all?
As if sensing the middle-aged man's thoughts, Mrs. Duan's face instantly fell, and her tone became tougher.
"Ling Yipiao, I'm asking you, can't you hear me?"
"Mrs. Duan, the lamp of life and death in Daxue Mountain has not been extinguished, and it should still be alive. But Yun Ke has not returned yet, and someone sensed that Yun Ke's Great Snow Mountain Talisman Charm had been activated. The middle-aged man tried his best to hold back his anger and squeezed this sentence out between his teeth.
The lantern of life and death is a unique magic weapon in the vein of the Great Snow Mountain to know the life and death of the disciples of the sect, and it is generally lit up when going out to perform tasks, and it can last for ten hours.
Within ten hours, a man died, and the lights went out.
It's almost ten hours since Yun Ke went out on a mission. And at this time, the talisman was activated, which obviously had to be worried.
After all, the talisman spell can be regarded as Yun Ke's last life-saving hole card.
"What should we do now?" Seeing that Mrs. Duan had been silent and did not react, Ling Yipiao finally couldn't help but ask.
"Just do what you planned. Mrs. Duan no longer stared at Ling Yipiao, but instead picked up the tea on the table again and took a sip gently, obviously not planning to dwell on this topic anymore.
"Do you just leave Yun Ke in this Tu Nan Kingdom alone?" Ling Yi was in a hurry, slapped directly on the table, and just wanted to continue questioning, the next moment, a cold and slender sword was already on his neck.
Ling Yipiao could vaguely see that in the shadows, a woman with a figure, costume, and even a face very similar to Yun Ke was holding a sword in one hand, staring at the middle-aged man with cold eyes like a dead thing.
In an instant, fine and dense cold sweat crawled all over the man's back.
"If we were still on the snowy mountain, what we did just now would have been enough for you to die ten times. Mrs. Duan said lightly, "Yunni, put down the sword." ”
There was no reply in the shadows, and the woman known as Yunni put her sword back into the sheath and retreated into the darkness again.
"I don't care about you this time, you should hurry up and prepare, and we will set off as planned as soon as dawn. Mrs. Duan stood up and gave Ling Yi an eviction order.
"Yes. Ling Yipiao held back the anger rising in his heart, clenched his fists, turned around and strode out of the room.
Madam Duan sighed lightly and whispered into the shadows.
"Yunni, look at him a little more after that, don't let him ruin the Holy Lord's plan. ”
"Yes, ma'am. Shadow replied, his voice was exactly the same as Yun Ke's, but his tone was more cold and resolute.
Ling Yipiao left angrily, and although it was soon dawn, he still did not go back to rest immediately, but paced back and forth in the courtyard outside the house irritably.
He really couldn't figure out why Mrs. Duan could be so indifferent to Yun Ke, who he had watched and grow up with since he was a child. Yun Kezhi can be regarded as close to Mrs. Duan's grandson, at this time, Yun Ke's life and death are uncertain, and Mrs. Duan's response can't even hear the slightest concern.
I can't figure out why even Yun Ke's twin sister Yun Ni can be so indifferent, aren't they good sisters who grew up together?
Could it be that the women from the Great Snow Mountain Sect are as difficult to melt as the ice and snow that have been piled up for thousands of years?
For Ling Yipiao, Yun Ke and Yun Ni are like his sisters, and he has also watched these two sisters transform from lively and cute little girls into such indifferent and ruthless killing machines as they are today.
Although he was born and grew up in the Great Snow Mountain, Ling Yipiao has always resisted this impersonal way of doing things.
Yunke Yunni is a living person, not a chess piece that can be discarded at will when it runs out.
It is true that the mission of coming to Tunanguo this time is very important, but for this reason, you can ignore the life and death of your fellow travelers?
Ling Yipiao had already secretly made up his mind that after he went back to recover his life, he must come back to Tu Nanguo to find Yun Ke's traces, and he must not let his little sister be abandoned in this foreign country without bones.
And in the shadows that he couldn't feel at all, Yun Ni was also staring at him with cold eyes, and the killing intent in his heart was also rising.
Not long after Ling Yipiao left, another man dressed as a scholar came outside Mrs. Duan's room. Unlike Ling Yipiao, this man was slender and slender, and he seemed to be a little weak, and he didn't look like an exotic one at all.
The man holds a fan in one hand and the other behind his back. The clothes were plain to spotless white, just like his bewitchingly fair face.
He was also the only one in the entire courtyard who was unarmed.
"Knock knock. The man knocked softly on the door, breaking the silence of the night.
"Who?"
"Mrs. Duan, it's me. ”
"Yuan Xichuan, it's already this time, what are you doing here?" The old lady opened the door and looked at the man in front of her with puzzled eyes.
"Mrs. Duan, I just heard that Miss Yun Ke seems to have had an accident, but is there such a thing?" The man's eyes called Yuan Xichuan were also the same as his body, they were extremely slender willow leaf shapes, and when he smiled, they were all squinted linear, making it impossible to guess his inner thoughts.
"So what?" Mrs. Duan's tone was a little impatient, she had been unaccustomed to Yuan Xichuan, a slender scholar from the Central Plains, since she had long been disgusted with the fierce and heroic man of the Northern Regions.
But Xu Tianwei, the Holy Lord of the Great Snow Mountain, didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he trusted the middle-aged Yuan Xichuan, and all the big and small plans of the Great Snow Mountain over the years were handed over to him to command, which made Mrs. Duan very unhappy.
is just a Central Plains person who can only play tricks, this is Mrs. Duan's stereotype of Yuan Xichuan. I don't know what kind of rhetoric he used to deceive the Holy Lord's trust.
"What are the specifics, can you tell us about the following? for example... Are you dead?" Yuan Xichuan's tone was still plain, but it was as sharp as a blade.
Thinking of the Holy Lord's advice before leaving, the old lady still decided to focus on the overall situation at this time, and not to tear her face with this Yuan Xichuan for the time being, and coldly told Yuan Xichuan the content of Fang Cai Ling Yipiao's report.
"The whereabouts are unknown...?haven't our people been found either?" Yuan Xichuan said after a while.
"No, since they dare to report it, it means that the nearby towns and mountains have been roughly searched. Mrs. Duan replied.
"This is interesting, I remember that the women of the Inner Sect of the Great Snow Mountain have a talisman that has been passed down from generation to generation, is Yun Ke's trigger?"
"Where did you learn about the talisman charm?" Mrs. Duan was shocked, this talisman was a secret that only the core disciples of the Great Snow Mountain Inner Sect knew, and she didn't mention it just now.
To what extent does this powerless Central Plains person know about the Great Snow Mountain?
