When she said the last sentence, the man in black obviously had a threatening tone, and Ma Xiuying had no choice but to compromise, only to see her ask weakly: "Okay! I just promised, what is the task?"

The man in black replied: "The sect leader heard that Long Xiaotian is now going to lead the White Lotus Sect to Nanao Island to find the Great Song Dynasty treasure, you have to go to Nanao Island with him, and then steal all the treasures, and after stealing the treasure, you will kill Long Xiaotian." ”

"What, you want me to kill Long Xiaotian?"

For this task, Ma Xiuying was very reluctant in her heart, so she made an excuse and excused herself: "No, this is impossible, Long Xiaotian's martial arts are strong, and I don't know any martial arts, how can I kill him, you better ask someone else to complete this task!"

However, the Man in Black insisted that she complete a task that she would not have agreed to for her.

"But the Sect Master thinks you're the best person to accomplish this task. Although you don't know martial arts, but because of this, Long Xiaotian will definitely be negligent in guarding against you, and you can take advantage of his negligence to put this pack of crane top red into his cup, and he will definitely die on the spot after drinking it. ”

After finishing speaking, he stuffed a pack of Heding Red into Ma Xiuying's hand and continued: "All the lives of all of you in Majiazhuang are in your hands, this is what the sect leader means, you have no way out, so do it yourself!"

After leaving these words, the man in black made a light effort and left, long gone.

On the second day, Long Xiaotian gathered the sect members as the sect leader and officially set off for Nanao Island to find the treasure of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Fellow sect members, after these days of rest, the order in our White Lotus Sect has been adjusted as before, and some of the destroyed buildings have been almost renovated. Now that the 10-day period of recuperation has expired and the Church has been adjusted, I think we should start our journey to Nan'ao Island today! The brothers who remain in the Church will continue to perform their duties and take care of all internal and external affairs in the Church. ”

As soon as Long Xiaotian's words fell, all the sect members in charge of staying in the White Lotus Sect shouted in unison, "Obey, Sect Master." ”

However, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the crowd left in the White Lotus Sect, arched his arms and said, "Tell the sect leader, Zhu Yuanzhang has something urgent. ”

"King Wu, what do you ask for, you might as well talk about it. ”

"Muslim Sect Master, according to the report of the spies, there is a small group of Yuan thieves in Hebei who are gathering troops and staring at us and are preparing to contact a large army to go south, and since our White Lotus Sect has just rested, I am afraid that they will attack us while the Sect Master is out, so I beg the Sect Master to order me to lead a part of the rebel army to preemptively go to the expedition. ”

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's report, Long Xiaotian asked the military advisor Liu Bowen and said, "Liu Junshi, is what King Wu said about the military situation true?"

Liu Bowen arched his arms and responded: "Tell the sect master, it is indeed true, according to the report of the spies, there is indeed a small group of Yuan soldiers in the north who are secretly watching our every move, in my opinion, it is better to let His Royal Highness King Wu send troops to exterminate them! In this way, we can show the current strength of my White Lotus Sect Army to the Yuan thieves, so that they will no longer dare to act rashly." ”

Liu Bowen's opinion made Long Xiaotian sound a little reasonable at this time, so he agreed to Zhu Yuanzhang's request.

"Okay! In that case, then ask King Wu to personally lead his troops to accompany Xu Da and General Chang Yuchun to eliminate the Yuan thieves entrenched in Hebei, while Liu Junshi is responsible for staying in the sect and continuing to sort out the affairs of the sect. ”

"Yes, Master. ”

"All right! We'll leave now. ”

However, when Long Xiaotian was about to get up from his seat, Ma Xiuying spoke at this time.

"Sect Master, please allow me to go with you to Nanao Island to find treasure. ”

But her request was rejected by Long Xiaotian.

"No, no, you definitely can't go, this trip is dangerous, you have to go through stormy waves, I can't let a girl's family suffer, you better stay in the church and wait for me to come back!"

But Ma Xiuying still insisted on staying by Long Xiaotian's side.

"Since I am already the personal maid of the sect leader, I have the obligation to accompany the sect leader to take care of you, please ask the sect leader to promise to let me follow you!"

"No need, Miss Xiuying. I'll take care of myself, so you might as well stay in the church and wait for news from me!"

However, at this time, Guo Zixing persuaded on the side: "Sect Master, since Xiuying insists on staying by your side, you might as well agree to her! What's more, she is my goddaughter, I also want to keep her by my side to cultivate the father-daughter relationship, and I will take care of her along the way, in addition, my goddaughter is smart and clever, in case of something really dangerous on the road, maybe she can give us some ideas." ”

And Zhu Yuanzhang, who had long learned that Ma Xiuying was ordered to murder Long Xiaotian, also wanted to take this opportunity to kill people with a knife, and got rid of Long Xiaotian, so he tried his best to persuade him: "Tell the sect leader, I also think what my father-in-law said is right, Miss Ma is extremely smart, and staying by the sect leader's side may really help a lot, it is better to ask the sect master to follow Miss Ma's wish and keep her by her side!"

Long Xiaotian saw that so many people suggested that Ma Xiuying stay by his side, so he finally agreed to let Ma Xiuying stay by his side, so he said to Ma Xiuying: "Okay! In that case, then you can stay by my side!"

"Thank you, Sect Master. ”

In this way, Ma Xiuying followed Long Xiaotian's team and set off from Lotus Mountain, but when they marched to the foot of the mountain, they found that there were countless corpses of disciples of the five major sects lying on the road at the foot of the mountain.

"The smell is so bad, it looks like they died on the day they left Lotus Mountain"

Guo Zixing pinched his nose and endured the smell while reasoning on the side.

This discovery made Long Xiaotian feel a burst of surprise at this moment, and he quickly dismounted and rummaged over the body of one of the Shaolin sect disciples covered with flies and said, "What the hell is going on! Who killed them?" ”

Guo Zixing confirmed the identity of the owner of the corpse and said: "There are not only Shaolin here, but also Wudang, Huashan, the beggar gang, and Kunlun, it seems that they were killed after leaving our Lotus Mountain, and the corpses have been placed here for several days." ”

"Damn, these murderers dare to harm my Huashan sect disciples, and I will never spare them. ”

When he said this, Long Xiaotian was worried about one person in his heart, that is, his junior brother Feng Ruya.

"By the way, my Senior Brother Feng, you can look and see if you have found Feng Ruya. ”

After everyone searched for a long time, Sun Deya responded to Long Xiaotian at this time: "Back to the sect leader, I didn't find the bodies of Feng Ruya and the other sect leaders. ”

Jin Zhong, the Golden Lotus Holy Envoy, speculated on the side: "I have been looking through for a long time, but I have not seen the corpses of the heads of the various factions, only the corpses of the low-level disciples, it seems that the purpose of the murderer should only be to capture their heads alive, because they were blocked by these disciples, so they killed them." ”

But Long Xiaotian was still a little puzzled in his heart, so he said to himself: "But how did these murderers catch their heads? ”

While he was here, he smelled a special smell from the corpse of a Kunlun sect disciple, so he sniffed it carefully again, and this time he finally knew what it was.

"Isn't this exactly the Seven Spices Nephrite Powder? I once smelled this medicine when I was saving Dugu's predecessors in Luzhou, it turns out that these murderers are all from the Bloody Clothes Sect? Could it be that they did it again?"

At this time, Long Xiaotian seemed to have guessed a little eyebrow, and Ma Xiuying's discovery surprised him even more.

"Sect Master, come here, I found a Shaolin disciple who has not yet lost his breath. ”

"What did you say?"

After speaking, he rushed to Ma Xiuying's side very excitedly and asked the Shaolin disciple who was discovered by her: "Little master, tell me who is going to kill you, and tell me what happened to you along the way?"
