Shi Ning's physical strength was exhausted, his body was injured in many places in the battle, he did not feel the pain of the wound in the battle, due to excessive blood loss, he was already a little unconscious at this time, he felt in a daze that there were two warriors with excellent light skills who carried him to the wall and escaped from the palace of Afang.

On the outskirts of Chang'an City, it is very quiet, and the dense woods separate it from the wolf-filled Chang'an City.

A cowhide bag of water splashed towards Shi Ning, and Shi Ning stood up with an "ah", and there were seventeen big men standing beside him.

Among the seventeen people, the leader threw the cowhide water bag to the ground and shouted, "Be sober!"

The person at the head was none other than Shi Xiang. Shi Ning's internal strength has recovered most of it, and he said gratefully: "Thank you Uncle Shi and all the heroes for saving me!"

Shi Xiang said angrily: "That Murong Chong led hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege the city, and there are masters of Yuehua Palace to help, if it weren't for me to come to the rescue, you would have died!" Shi Xiang paused, and said, "Have you forgotten your father's last wish to find Qi Tianshi!"

Shi Ning gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "I have never forgotten the matter of finding the Heavenly Stone when my father died tragically, I must find all the Heavenly Stones and avenge my father!"

"If that's the case, then you still go to die in vain!"

Shi Ning said sadly: "At that time, I was in a desperate situation, and I only thought about repelling the Xianbei people, and I didn't care about my own life... ”

Think about what a hero Emperor Taiwu was back then, what a hero your father was, and how many people in the world wanted to take their lives, if Emperor Taiwu did not spare his life, the world that he had worked so hard would have been gone, if your father did not spare his life, he would have become a prisoner in the time of national disaster, and he spared his life, so he desperately fled at the time of national crisis, and hid in Wuling Mountain for a full fifteen years in order to live!"

"Uncle Shi, you... What is the relationship between you and your father, why does the old man know so much about his father... ”

Shi Xiang walked a few steps slowly, then faced Shi Ning and tore off a piece of skin from his face, revealing his true face, and said: "Now, I can't hide it anymore, I am the sibling of your father, Prince Shi Cong!"

When Shi Ning saw Shi Xiang's true face, he said "Ah!", and fell to his knees in front of Shi Xiang and shouted, "Abba! I finally see you again!" Seeing Shi Xiang, he seemed to see his dead father.

"I am a compatriot of your father and mother, and I look very similar, I don't think I need any identification, this face can prove that I am your own uncle!" After Shi Xiang tore off the skin of Yi Rong, he looked more than ten years younger than the "Uncle Shi" that Shi Ning had seen earlier.

Shi Ning's voice trembled: "My dear... "He couldn't believe that the descendants of the Shi family that his father told him to look for before his death were actually right in front of him!

Shi Xiang suddenly looked back at the other warriors and scolded, "You haven't come to kneel down to worship the emperor's grandson!"

As soon as the words fell, Shi Xiang and sixteen warriors knelt respectfully in front of Shi Ning and bowed: "Subordinates see the emperor's grandson!"

Shi Ning hurriedly helped everyone up.

"Imperial grandson?" Shi Ning said puzzled.

Shi Xiang said: "We worship the grandson of the emperor of Zhao! Your father Shi Cong is the prince of Zhao, and you are the grandson of the emperor! The Great Zhao State suffered a national disaster, although we waited for the official in the Qin State to protect the Qin Heavenly King, but it was only an expedient measure, and once we had the opportunity, we would shoulder the mission of recovering the Zhao State!"

When he was in the Bizi tribe of Wuling Mountain, his father Shi Cong often told Shi Ning about the deeds of Hou Zhao and the emperors of the Shi family, so Shi Ning still had feelings for Hou Zhao, and he muttered in his mouth: "Restore Zhao State... Restore the Kingdom of Zhao. ”

Shi Xiang: "When the country was in trouble, the clansmen were slaughtered, Prince Shi Cong was chased by traitors to the area of Wuling Mountain, and there was no news since then, the mountain circuit of Wuling Mountain turned around, there were many wild beasts in the mountains and forests, and there were no people hundreds of miles away, and the surviving clansmen thought that Prince Shi Cong had died in the area of Wuling Mountain. Unexpectedly, when the soldiers of the Qin State were exploring the road in Wuling Mountain five years ago, they stumbled upon the Prince of Shi Cong in Wuling Mountain! As soon as I heard the news, I hurriedly took the master of Taiwutang to Wuling Mountain to pick up Prince Shi Cong, but I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived at Wuling Mountain, Prince Shi Cong had already been killed!"

Hearing this, Shi Ning gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "There are many people who kill Abba, I must find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and avenge Abba and Ah Pinch (author's note: Ah Pinch means mother in Bizi language)!"

Shi Xiang continued: "Later, I heard that there was a young hero of the Jin nationality in the Southern Jin Kingdom, who became the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance with his world-class martial arts, and helped the Jin Kingdom win the Battle of Weishui, and his reputation was shocked. When this matter reached my ears, I didn't believe it at the time, most of the remaining Qiang people were hiding incognito in the north, and the southern Qiang people had been slaughtered by the Sima family, and the Han and Han people were incompatible, but I never thought that this young hero of the Qiang tribe was you!"

Shi Xiang picked up the cowhide water bag on the ground, took a sip, and continued: "In order to find out your identity, I sent a number of masters from Taiwutang to listen to your news, and it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the six disciples of the Shangqing Sect have water and fire stones hidden in their bodies, and they escaped from Wuling Mountain, so I will identify you as the son of Prince Shi Cong!"

Shi Ning said to himself: "Master of Taiwutang... Taiwutang master. He suddenly remembered that a few years ago, the disciples of the major factions in the martial arts were persecuted or killed, and the major factions suspected that these martial arts tragedies were all committed by Shi Ning, and the missing knights have not been found so far, which has become a mystery in the martial arts.

Shi Ning's head was hot for a while, and he seemed to understand something, and asked: "The disappearance of Zhang Ming, the eldest disciple of the Shangqing faction, the disappearance of Gao Xuan, the deputy head of the Lingbao faction, the killing of the disciple of the Wudou Mi Sect, and the murder of Master Huiyong of Donglin Temple, are all the tragic martial arts events done by Taiwutang?"

Shi Xiang said: "My Taiwutang has always done things in a fair and honest manner, the martial arts tragedy that the emperor Taisun said has nothing to do with Taiwutang, what Shangqing faction, Lingbao faction, my Taiwutang didn't pay attention to at all, it was easy to destroy his sect, why did I let the Taiwutang master persecute so many inconspicuous disciples?"

Although Shi Ning didn't quite believe that Taiwutang could easily destroy the Shangqing and other factions, through contact with several tiger guards in Taiwutang, he believed that Taiwutang would never do anything to secretly kidnap people and kill people.

Shi Ning secretly swore in his heart: "Senior Brother Zhang Ming, I will definitely find the murderer who killed you and save you back to the Shangqing faction!"

He asked again: "The masked old man who shot the letter silk in the Jiankang Shenwu General's Mansion is a master of Taiwutang?"

Shi Xiang replied: "The person who sent the letter from the Jiankang Shenwu General's Mansion was none other than me. ”

Shi Ning suddenly realized: "No wonder my nephew can't catch up, it turns out to be my uncle." Why didn't my uncle meet him as his real identity at that time?"

Shi Xiang said: "I only know that there is Shi Xiang, the prince of Zhao State, but I don't know that Shi Xiang, the leader of Taiwutang, is the prince of Zhao State. After the national disaster, in order to take refuge, I could only hide the identity of the prince of Zhao. I couldn't disclose my identity in Jiankang, and I ask the imperial grandson to forgive me. ”

Shi Ning said: "In Jiankang, my uncle was to lead me to the north, so he claimed to be Abba's old man. But my nephew still doesn't know anything, why did my uncle secretly arrange my itinerary on the way north, and appeared many times, but did not disclose his true identity?"

Shi Xiang sneered: "His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun worshiped the general and became a marquis after the Battle of Weishui, and lived a good life in the Jiankang General's Mansion, and forgot the important task of finding the Heavenly Stone, if I don't secretly remind you, how can you decide to resign from your official position and go north?"

"At that time, there was no clue about the Celestial Stone, so I didn't know where to start。。。。。 ”

"I'm the clue, didn't your father tell you to go to the descendants of the Shi family before he died? If I don't look for you, I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun will never find me! The reason why I still didn't reveal my identity on His Highness's way north was because I was worried about the girl Ran Shu beside His Highness. ”

Shi Ning was puzzled: "Uncle, where did you hide Shu'er? Shu'er is a good girl, she has a heart and soul with me, I want to marry her in the future, what are you worried about her?"

Shi Xiang said: "Your Royal Highness, rest assured, before the Xianbei people surrounded the imperial city of Chang'an Afang, I had ordered the warriors of Taiwutang to escort Miss Ran to Liangzhou. I haven't figured out the origin of this Ran girl yet, and I'm a little worried, my true identity can only be known by Zhao Guoqian and Taiwutang Tiger Guard. ”

"Is this Taiwu Hall related to Emperor Taiwu?"

"Taiwutang was founded by Emperor Taiwu, because Emperor Taiwu believed in Buddhism, so the eighteen horsemen of Taiwutang are also called eighteen Arhats, when Emperor Taiwu personally led the eighteen horsemen of Taiwutang to be invincible, leveling the northern tribes and consolidating the power of Zhao. Later, the Zhao State suffered a traitor rebellion, and the eighteen horsemen died and were injured in order to defend the Zhao State, and the current Taiwutang Eighteen Cavalry was formed by me later, you see that they are all first-class masters!"
