Chapter 40: Linjiang
Chapter 40: Linjiang.
Hua Qingyi saw Ai Xiang'er's worried face, so she comforted her and said: "You don't have to worry too much, although Mu Xiang has a kind of dull mind and can't help himself, but it is not something that anyone can use casually, which is why Mu Xiang has been stolen for decades and has not appeared in the rivers and lakes." Hua Qingyi said that he suddenly thought of something, and his face was ugly for a while.
Ai Xiang'er saw Hua Qingyi comforting herself like this, she was a little relieved, but Hua Qingyi's face still did not hide her eyes, how smart Ai Xiang'er was, she could see from Hua Qingyi's eyes that something must be something, so that Hua Qingyi had an idea, Ai Xiang'er paused for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Mu Xiang has not appeared in the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, because no one can control it, and now Mu Xiang suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes, is it possible that someone can use Mu Xiang at will." ”
Ai Xiang'er thought about this, and asked Hua Ruling: "My mother asked me to come to Rumeng Valley this time to meet the valley master of Ruling, you just said that it is related to Mu Xiang, I wonder if the valley master knows where Mu Xiang is?"
Hua Ruling was pondering when she heard Ai Xiang'er ask her, and came back to her senses and said, "I don't know!"
Ai Xiang'er was a little anxious, and blurted out: "But you obviously said that this time it is related to Muxiang...... Ai Xiang'er suddenly stopped when she said this, she suddenly thought that her Miao Cai Pond had been razed by Linjiang Zhai, and she suddenly asked: "What grievances do we have between Miao Caitang and Linjiang Zhai?
Hua Ruling sighed, and said helplessly: "Twenty years ago, we defeated the leader of Runyuxuan, and then we didn't find Mu Xiang, and Chu Gong, the lord of Linjiang Zhai, thought that we Rumeng Valley and your Miao Cai Tang colluded with each other and swallowed Mu Xiang privately, and didn't want him to have it, he was angry, and we Ru Meng Gu and Miao Cai Tang drew a clear line, and swore that they would never come back again in this life. Over time, Linjiang Zhai has accumulated a feud with Rumenggu and Miaocaitang. ”
Hua Ruling let out another long sigh after speaking, and there was a little regret in the long sigh.
"What are we going to do now?" Hua Qingyi asked.
"I asked someone to recruit you back in such a hurry this time just to solve the matter of Mu Xiang. ”
Hua Qingyi hugged his fists and said, "I don't know what the valley master wants me to do?"
Hua Ruling pondered for a while, and finally said, "I want you to go out of the valley to investigate Mu Xiang." ”
Hua Qingyi asked, "Does the valley master want me to go to Qinghe Pond and then investigate Linjiang Zhai?" Hua Qingyi looked at Hua Ruling after speaking.
Hua Ruling nodded and said: "I know that this is a little difficult, but we people in Rumenggu have not set foot in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and you are the only one who often goes out, and you are the only one who knows more about the rivers and lakes today." ”
"Okay, I'll go. People often say that chivalry is in the rivers and lakes, like water is to fish, but when the rivers and lakes are really in danger, those who can accept orders in danger and are not afraid of difficulties can really be called chivalrous.
Hua Qingyi is a chivalrous man.
"I'll go too!" said Ai Xiang'er suddenly.
Hua Qingyi glanced at Ai Xiang'er, "You still don't want to go!"
"Why don't I go, my mother's whereabouts are unknown now, and my Miao Caitang was razed by Linjiang Zhai, how can I not go. Ai Xiang'er said that she was full of righteous indignation, and she was unreasonable with three points.
"Okay, we'll go tomorrow!"
It is close to dusk, such as a quiet in the dream valley, a gust of hot wind blows, from time to time there are a few cicadas, it turns out that summer is coming unconsciously, such as the green willows planted on both sides of the inner road of the dream valley are hanging down a little bit, blown by the wind, raising a wave, a ball of catkins flying.
Hua Qingyi took Ai Xiang'er for a walk in Rumeng Valley, the afterglow on the horizon gradually receded, leaving a little blush, there was no reason for beauty, Hua Qingyi and Ai Xiang'er just walked like this, there was no greeting, no discomfort, they were just quietly, quietly together, walking; Hua Qingyi suddenly had a feeling, he wanted to be like this for a lifetime, just like this, walk for a lifetime.
The iron door of Rumeng Valley opened with a bang, and a white-clothed young man walked out of it, he was the sentry standing guard here tonight, since Miao Caitang was destroyed, Rumeng Valley sent a secret sentry at night, and this white-clothed young man is the most proficient person in Rumeng Valley, his name is Hua Gulu.
Hua Gulu opened the iron door and glanced out of the iron door, not only to understand the situation, but also to find a place to hide, in this eye, he had found an excellent hiding place, and then Hua Gulu turned around to close the iron door, suddenly a cold wind blew, and Hua Gulu fainted before he could close the iron door urgently.
One of them was already standing beside Hua Gulu, and the man searched for a moment on him, took out the iron door key, and then dragged Hua Gulu to a hidden place, and swaggered into the Valley of Dreams.
The brown-clothed boy saw that Hua Gulu had returned to Rumeng Valley, and asked curiously, "Why did Brother Hua come back?" ”
The brown-clothed boy also smiled and said, "Brother Hua, if you stand guard tonight, don't drink the wine!"
Hua Gulu chuckled lightly and said, "Okay, okay, I won't drink tonight, I'll go find Hua Qingyi." Then he walked away.
