That's a jade pendant!

It was a quaint Longque jade pendant!

Xue Yihan clearly remembered that the moment he opened the treasure of Longque, he took two pieces, and the other one was in Xiao Lao's hand, and now it was the piece that Xiao Lao took away from the arms of the ambush man.

Xue Yihan looked at the familiar but obviously unfamiliar jade pendant in his hand in a daze, thinking about what had just happened, and found some errors in it.

He pondered for a while, and muttered to himself: "If Senior Xiao is here to kill me, even ten of them are not enough to kill, but it is obvious that he is one of them who ambushed him, but he did not kill him in the fight, but helped him, and even quietly disappeared after he obtained the jade pendant, why is this?"

Xue Yihan couldn't understand it for a while, so he had to suppress all kinds of doubts in his heart, put Long Que Yupei into his underwear, and then walked towards Liu Hanqing and the others.

Liu Hanqing, Lu Fei, and Bai Yu had already re-mounted their horses, seeing that Xue Yihan had come over, and the three of them drove forward, Liu Hanqing asked: "What happened just now? Why did the people who besieged us suddenly die? You saw that the corpses all over the ground were deformed, and they were obviously poisoned. ”

"It's Xiao Lao. ”

"Old Xiao?"

Liu Hanqing was even more puzzled, looking at Xue Yihan in puzzlement, Bai Yu screamed, and shook his head and said: "Impossible, how is this possible?" My master and we went to Fengsha Town separately, and Uncle Shi should wait for him in Fengsha Town, besides, if Uncle Shi really wants to help us, why did he hook up with bandits, it doesn't make sense?"

Xue Yihan smiled slightly bitterly, spread his hands and said: "I don't know why, I'm still a little confused, I just took something from him, and I guessed that it was him, Xiao Lao acted like this tonight, there must be his deep meaning, and it was not too late for him to go to Fengsha Town to solve his doubts." ”

"That's all there is to it. ”

Bai Yu sighed, said hello to Xue Yihan, and rode away towards the dense fog, Lu Fei and Liu Hanqing also drove their horses away from this battlefield.

Xue Yihan looked around blankly, and there were many puzzles in his heart, and he couldn't dissolve it.

Looking at the rolling yellow sand in the distance, Xue Yihan knew that it was the battlefield where the Snow Wolf Guard and the Xihu cavalry fought, he looked at that place, listening to the endless sound of horses and fighting, and only felt that there was a body of martial arts, but it was of little use to the people in the world.

Not far from Xue Yihan, the stone gate of the Echo Valley slowly opened a gap, and a gray figure quietly submerged into it, and then the stone gate closed again.

---

After entering the stone gate, the man took off the big gray hat he wore on his head, coughed lightly, and then walked inside.

When he passed through the corridor that went down to the Echo Valley, he heard the sound of banging in the corridor, and thought that the young master was finally coming out, but after a pause, he turned around and walked to the right hand side of the corridor, where there was a perennial oil lamp, and the base of the lamp was dusty, as if it had been touched many times.

He turned the lamp slightly, and he heard a low roar ringing in his ears, and then a stone door more than a meter wide and more than a person high slowly opened, revealing a faint light.

Inside and outside the stone gate, two different environments, two different buildings.

There are many traces of axe chiseling and excavation in the stone gate, and outside the stone gate is a courtyard of rockery and flowing water, the courtyard is quite large, there is a square that can accommodate 100 people to go inside, and behind the square is a row of stone house buildings, rough and bold.

Walking on the road to the stone house, there were the corpses of the bandits of Echo Valley lying horizontally in the eyes, and from time to time there were people coming and going, carrying the corpses, cleaning the road, and every time they saw him, they bowed their heads and shouted at him quite respectfully: "Xiao Lao." ”

Xiao Lao did not leave as Xue Yihan guessed, but quietly returned to Echo Valley, and returned to the lair of the old ghost, but this place now has a new owner-Heavenly Demon Palace.

Walking through the square and entering the stone house, I saw a woman in palace clothes wearing a veil leaning on the top chair, and below, there were six bandits tied up in five flowers, and there were several women holding long swords to protect the woman in palace clothes.

Xiao Lao entered the council of the old ghost and bowed slightly to the woman in palace clothes: "Mastermother, according to your orders, the jade pendant has been handed over to Xue Yihan. ”

The woman in the palace opened her eyes slightly, and said to Xiao Lao with a smile: "Xiao Lao has worked hard, you can rest well during this time, if there is anything important to deal with, you can leave for a while, and the right is to take a vacation." ”

Xiao Lao hummed, nodded again, walked to the side, and sat straight at the bottom of the palace woman and closed his eyes to recuperate.

At this time, a woman hurried from outside the stone house and saluted respectfully to the woman in the upper palace: "Mastermother, the bandits in Echo Valley have been basically killed, but..."

"Just what? Don't talk in a hurry. The woman in the palace costume turned pale and glared coldly at the woman below.

The woman's face turned pale, and she took a deep breath and reported: "Yes, master, my subordinates understand that all the bandits in Echo Valley have been killed, and only the daughter of the old ghost Gu Li is on the run. ”

"Idiot. ”

The woman in the palace costume snorted and threw a teacup on the ground in her hand, and the frightened woman hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for forgiveness.

The woman in the palace costume snorted and said to the woman: "Now that the young master has taken out one-third of the Longque treasure, what is important for us is to carry the treasure out of the Echo Valley, in case there are many dreams at night, and a fish that has slipped through the net in the Echo Valley is worthy of such a stir?"

Someone in the stone house laughed, Xiao Lao raised his eyes slightly, and saw that several people who were tied up in the house were laughing, a trace of mockery and helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he thought: "The master mother speaks, you still dare to laugh, what is it not looking for death?"

Sure enough, before the woman in the palace costume could speak, several women waiting on the side had already come to those people, and the long sword was instantly unsheathed and stabbed directly into the hearts of several people.

The laughter stopped abruptly, but the anger of the woman in the palace costume was obviously not gone, and it was a pair of tea cups thrown on the woman who was still kneeling on the ground, and she roared: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and organize people." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

The woman ran out as if she had fled, leaving only a few people and six corpses in the stone house, and soon someone would clean them out and wash the floor.

The woman in the palace costume lay on the chair again, breathed softly, and said slowly: "Old Xiao, now my temper is getting bigger and bigger, this is not a good thing, maybe I think too much, right?"

Xiao Lao sighed, sighed and said: "You think a lot, for the sake of the young master, there are so many stubborn old guys in the sect, if you want the young master to take the position smoothly, you must have outstanding contributions, the first two Luoyang and Suzhou events have pushed the young master to the cusp, and now you have gone to Longque Treasure, such a large amount of wealth, the prestige of the young master will eventually improve a lot, after all, there can be people with money." ”

"Xiao Lao really understands it, it's a little bit clear, I'm also worried, otherwise I wouldn't have killed a lot, after all, it's my unsuccessful child, and Xiao Lao will have to take care of it more in the future. ”

"Today..."

Xiao Lao wanted to say that he had touched Feng Wuji's face in the Echo Valley but was interrupted, and the woman in the palace costume said softly: "Xiao Lao is not sensible, Xiao Lao is more responsible, I will tell him about the things in the Longque Treasure, as long as Xiao Lao is good to Zhen'er, he will not let you down." ”

"That's it. ”

The woman in the palace costume and Xiao Lao whispered, and there was a hint of laughter in the stone house from time to time.

---

Liu Hanqing and Xue Yihan quickly arrived at the place where the Snow Wolf Guard was stationed, and heard laughter and laughter coming from the only tent in the distance.

Xue Yihan was slightly surprised, he heard the voice of the snow shadow, the laughter was full of family affection, Xue Yihan could imagine how happy the snow shadow should be at this time.

Several people rode into the barracks, but they were stopped by the guards and investigated, and some soldiers saw the snow on their horses, and even shouted when they saw the snow lying on their horses.

"Medic, medic, the general is wounded, come and see. When a captain led people on patrol, he happened to see Xue Ruhong lying on horseback with his eyes closed, his face was pale with fright, and he quickly moved forward and picked up Xue Ruhong and ran towards the hard battle.

There was a slight commotion and order was quickly restored, and Xue Yihan also entered the camp with the people.

A bearded man greeted Xue Yihan, Xue Yihan was stunned, thinking why this person was so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Brother Snow, my great benefactor. ”

"Old Yan senior. The moment he heard my great benefactor, Xue Yihan remembered it and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Senior Yan, why did you come to the northwest too?

Yan Kuan sighed, pulled Xue Yihan to the side, and said carefully: "Yan Le, this girl doesn't know what medicine she took wrong, she has to come to you with Zeng Qian, I can't rest assured that I will follow behind." ”

At the end of the speech, Yan Kuan was still quite embarrassed, and glared fiercely at Yan Le, who was not far away and pretended to talk to Lu Fei, but actually paid attention to this piece, before he continued: "I encountered a sandstorm in the desert, but fortunately, three old brothers rescued me and survived, and I met the Hu cavalry halfway, so I thought about going to Lanzhou Mansion to find General Xue to report, so I came here." ”

Xue Yihan was surprised and surprised, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Senior Yan went to the General's Mansion to report, otherwise the kid and his party would probably have to be here forever." ”

"So it's a great fortune!" Yan Kuan was also quite proud, and in the past few days, he was very close to General Xue Rufeng, so he was even happier, so he had to pull Xue Yihan to say a few more words.

Xue Yihan's heart had already run away at this time, far away from the woman who was sitting on the edge of the bed, inquiring about Xue Ruhong's injuries with concern.

But Yan Kuan is like an old friend reunited, and there are endless words, that is, Xue Yihan is far away, not letting him get close to the crowd, after a long time, Xue Yihan also tastes the cat, presumably after Xue Ying and his father met, something happened, so Yan Kuan will try his best not to let him get close to Xue Rufeng.

It's just that people have come here, and in the other party's military camp, there are too many opportunities to be angry with themselves, but their own sincerity should not be treated like this!

Just thinking about these things, the tent was opened again, and a man walked in from outside, and when Xue Yihan saw him, his eyes instantly froze.

"Ma Jun. Xue Yihan muttered at the corner of his mouth, but his heart turned back and forth, "Didn't he go to find someone?

Ma Jun smiled incomprehensibly at Xue Yihan, and then walked to the side of a middle-aged man in the corner, bowed slightly and whispered.

Only then did Xue Yihan know that the man who had been sitting upright from afar and had always looked light and breezy was Xue Rufeng, Xue Zhan and Xue Ying's father, Xue Ruhong and Xue Qing's elder brother, and the Northwest General of Great Qin.

As if feeling Xue Yihan's gaze, a trace of murderous aura flashed in Xue Rufeng's faint eyes.

Although it was only for an instant, it was still clearly captured by Xue Yihan.

The snow is easy to chill!

He was puzzled!

He was quite puzzled!

Why? Why did he want to kill me? Is it because of Snow Shadow?

If it's not a snow shadow, what could it be?
