"Zhiweilou, what are you doing here?"

Traveling all the way, Jinghong soon came to the Zhiwei Building in the north of the city. Ye Mingxuan followed behind, and seeing her gloomy face, he couldn't help but guess: "Is this the Secret Guard stronghold? Are you the black wolf you saw here?"

Jing Hong nodded: "Zhiwei Building is the stronghold of the dark guards set up here, there are a total of six dark guards stationed for a long time, and the leader disciple is the black wolf. On that day, I was about to go to see Hei Lu and ask him about the situation of the Oriental rudder, but he sent someone to find me in advance. ”

Ye Mingxuan glanced at the second-floor restaurant in front of him, as soon as the door opened in the early morning, several handymen ran forward and after cleaning, and Xiao Er greeted him with a smile on his face: "The guest officer is early, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

Seeing that he was very angry, Jing Hong asked, "Don't you know me?"

Xiao Er shook his head: "Who is the girl?"

Jinghong stood silently in front of the door and watched for a while, until Ye Mingxuan couldn't help but call her several times, and then she said softly: "I was deceived, the secret guards here are all fake, damnable! Little second brother, the owner of this shop is surnamed Dong?"

Xiao Er was puzzled: "Dong, our shopkeeper's surname is Sun...... Hey, he owes gambling debts, and he just handed over the store to our shopkeeper a few days ago, and I heard that the whole family ran away overnight. ”

Ye Mingxuan asked, "The whole family ran away?"

"Yes, I heard that he owes a lot of money to the gambling house. Boss Zhao of the gambling village is a tyrant in this town, and if he can't pay it, he will use his daughter-in-law and daughter to pay off the debt. No, overnight, Boss Dong's whole family, even the chef and Xiao Er of this restaurant also ran away. During the day, Boss Zhao went to rob people and pounced, so angry that he burned down his house. ”

"When are you talking about?"

"It's been more than a month, and I've just arrived in this town, and I've heard the gossip of my neighbors, and it's been so wicked. Xiao Er was mysterious, and lowered his voice and said: "I heard that Boss Dong's daughter-in-law knows how to do spells and changed everyone away overnight, otherwise how could these dozen or so people suddenly disappear? ”

Ye Mingxuan glanced at Jinghong, Jinghong's expression darkened in vain, he had to take out a few broken silver from his arms and hand them to Xiao Er: "Okay, we know, you can get busy, we don't live in the store." ”

Xiao Er saw that this man and woman behaved strangely, but he was generous, and he took the silver with a smile and ran away. Ye Mingxuan asked: "He said Boss Dong, but the black wolf? The whole family disappeared overnight, it seems that the secret guard stronghold here has been taken away, is it the Taishan faction?"

Jing Hong hated and said: "It has nothing to do with the Taishan faction." The black wolf has long been dead, and the person I met, he took advantage of my disagreement with Hang Tianqi, deliberately let me know Zhang Hua, and broke the Dongfang rudder in one fell swoop, all of which was a carefully arranged deception. ”

Ye Mingxuan said, "As you said, this person is trying his best to lure you into the game. But there is one thing I don't understand, since Zhang Hua is a spy of the Taishan faction, he could have led the Taishan faction to break through the Dongfang rudder, why did he go around in such a big circle and carefully trick you into the game? What conspiracy do they have?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this scam was set up specifically for me, and the person behind the scenes probably hates me to the core. Jing Hong sneered: "This matter is inseparable from the Taishan faction, I think I already know who is behind the scenes, and I will definitely not let him go." It's just that how could he be so familiar with the dark guard, the black wolf is fake, and the ghost emperor ......"

She had a flash of inspiration, remembering the ghost emperor she saw that day, since the black wolf was fake, the ghost emperor was definitely fake. Thinking of this, she hurried to the rudder again.

When I returned to the rudder, I saw the maid green bead beside Duan Niang standing at the door, and after seeing Jinghong, she blessed herself and said: "Miss Yao, my young lady is awake, and I order the slave maid to ask you to come over." ”

Ye Mingxuan said with relief: "Finally woke up, what about the fifth brother?"

Lu Zhu said: "My young lady is very weak now, and Yun Gongzi is talking to her." Miss Yao, please go, Miss said that there is something very important I want to say to you in person. ”

Ye Mingxuan snorted: "Weak and still pulling the fifth brother to talk, who are you fooling?"

Jing Hong smiled: "Hasn't the fourth brother always been the most pitiful and cherishing jade, why do you hate the mother so much? She is just a chess piece in the hands of Hang Tianqi, and she is also a poor person." Well, I'll go see her. ”

"Thank you, Miss Yao. The green bead ceremony was thoughtful, leading Jinghong to Duanniang's boudoir. As soon as she entered the door, she smelled a strong smell of medicine, Duanniang's face was pale, and she was half-leaning on the edge of the bed, but there was no trace of Yunqing. Jing Hong knew that she wanted to talk to herself alone, so she stepped forward and sat down next to her, and said first: "I'm here, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Duanniang's complexion decreased slightly, and she coughed: "I know that you have always suspected that I was sent by my grandfather to get close to Yun Gongzi, that's right, it was indeed my grandfather who asked me to deliberately approach him, but I shouldn't have been moved by his true feelings." She took a deep breath, seemed to have made a lot of determination, pulled the sleeves of Jinghong's shirt and said, "Miss Yao, I beg you, don't rob Yun Gongzi with me, okay? You are so good, there will definitely be many people who like you." And I—I only have him......"

Jing Hong quietly withdrew his sleeves and hummed: "Hang Yao just died, Hang Tianqi is still in the hands of the enemy, life and death do not know, do you only think about men?"

Duan Niang choked, biting her lip and unable to speak for a long time. I don't know how long it took, she suddenly raised her head and said loudly: "I am the good match of Yun Gongzi, for him, I can give up everything, even my life." What about you, can you give up the position of head of the family for him? Born as a woman, you must be strong everywhere, what man can put up with you? Maybe Yun Gongzi still likes you now, but ten or twenty years later, he will definitely regret it. ”

Jing Hong looked at her deeply and said with a smile: "That's right, I really won't give up my position as the head of the house for the sake of the fifth brother." The relationship between me and the fifth brother is just a personal love, which is really insignificant compared to the century-old foundation of the Desperate Valley. ”

She stood up and took a step closer to Duan Niang, and said in a condescending manner: "You don't hesitate to betray and raise your family for a man, do you think this is called sacrifice? It's really ridiculous, Hang Yaoquan has knowledge, and he has to sigh that he died too unjustly!"

"You ......" Duanniang was stunned, although she tried to keep calm, her body still trembled unconsciously. Jing Hong took in all of this and sneered: "You don't have to be afraid, I won't kill you, but I have always been very accurate in seeing people." You have always been controlled by the Hang family, and they can only call the shots for life. You want to get out of this kind of life, so when the Tarzan faction finds you, you promise to do things for them, don't you?"

Duanniang said in a panic: "You are talking nonsense, I don't, I didn't collude with the Taishan faction, I didn't." ”

Jing Hong pressed step by step: "The Taishan faction has broken the rudder in one fell swoop, of course, because Zhang Hua led the way, and you are the internal response that the Taishan faction placed beside Hang Tianqi." Zhang Hua has been away from the rudder for many years, and he is no longer familiar with the personnel, and the roster of disciples of the Dongfang rudder was handed over to him by you, right?"

With a "bang", Yunqing rushed out of the inner room and said, "Duanniang, you really, really ......"

Duanniang thought of Hang Yao, who died tragically, and her grandfather, whose life and death were still uncertain, and couldn't help crying anymore: "I didn't mean it, it was Zhang Hua, it was Zhang Hua who deceived me...... Uncle, grandfather, I hurt you......"

She struggled to pull Yunqing, but accidentally fell off the collapse. She completely lost everyone's beautiful appearance, and cried: "Yun Gongzi, don't leave me, I have nothing, nothing." ”

Yunqing stepped forward to help her up, and said uncomfortably: "Duanniang, don't you do this, I'm sorry for you, I took advantage of your feelings, you can let me do anything, except ...... Except for ......" He looked up at Jing Hong, and couldn't stop the love on his face: "I already have a beloved, my heart is too small, except for her, I can't tolerate anyone else." ”

Duan Niang hid her face and cried, Jing Hong turned around and left, Yun Qing watched her walk away, looked at Duan Niang again, sighed and finally chased out.

After going out a few steps to catch up with Jinghong, Yun Qing apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, Duanniang is unconscious, I will guard her if I feel ashamed, don't be angry, okay?"

Jinghong stopped and said: "I'm not angry, I'm very happy what you just said, really, you don't have to apologize, I believe you." ”

Yun Qing said: "You don't have to comfort me, you are very unhappy, I can see it." ”

Jinghong sighed: "I'm not happy because of you, it's because of ...... Forget it, let's talk as we go. ”

Back in the room, Ye Mingxuan had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the two of them coming back, he hurriedly said, "You guys are finally back, there are guests." ”

"Guest?" was stunned to see a person sitting opposite and smiling at herself, but who was it if it wasn't the Ghost Emperor?

The Ghost Emperor said with a smile: "The black wolf is fake, but the Ghost Emperor may not be fake, the nine girls don't wronged the good people." "He is a well-known disguise killer, and it is difficult to argue with his disguise, and legend has it that no one has ever seen his true face. Even if he didn't have any cover on his face now, Jing Hong knew that this was not what he was.

Jing Hong took a step closer and said, "Really, how do you prove that you are true?"

The Ghost Emperor got up and said, "The girl is the next head of the Ruthless Valley, and the second master must have told you the true identity of the Ghost Emperor." He approached Jinghong and wrote a word in her palm. Jing Hong's expression changed, and he turned back to Ye Mingxuan and Yun Qing and said, "He is the real Ghost Emperor." After a pause, she asked, "When did you come to the rudder?"

The Ghost Emperor said solemnly: "About half a year ago, the Black Wolf, the leader of the dark guards here, sent me a secret letter. I had something to delay, and recently I saw the content of the secret letter, and I knew that something big had happened, so I immediately rushed over. There were six secret guards here, and I couldn't find any of them, so I was horrified, and immediately came to inquire about the situation, but I was surprised to find that someone disguised as me was talking to the girl. So when he was gone, I followed him to see who he really was. Girl, do you know who the ghost emperor who is pretending to be me is?"

Jing Hong said categorically: "I can come to see me in the form of you, and I know everything about the affairs of the Ruthless Valley, who else is there besides the white python?"

Yun Qing was also so suspicious in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it after all: "Why did Bai Python, Uncle Bai Python do this, is he also a spy of the Taishan faction?"

The Ghost Emperor sighed and said, "Young Master, although the white python and your father are sworn brothers, he is not a good person. I followed him for a long time that day, and finally lost it. If you can have such skills, I first suspected that it was a white python. So I went straight to the white python's house. After some temptation, he really went to the Golden Dome of the Taishan Sect at night and planned to attack the rudder in advance. I was going down the mountain to report the news, but I was found and trapped in the sword formation of the Taishan faction, and I was delayed all night before escaping down the mountain, but unfortunately it was too late, and the rudder had been destroyed last night. ”

Jing Hong glanced at Yun Qing, stepped forward and said, "Where is the white python now?"

The Ghost Emperor said: "He hid in Mount Tai and didn't come down, thinking that he could save his life in this way." But it doesn't matter, I've always been lucky, and when I escaped down the mountain, I actually met a big man, with him, what else is the Taishan faction afraid of?"

The three of them were confused, but they saw him walk away a few steps and pushed open the door of the next room, there was a person sitting in the door, but it was not the head of the Taishan faction, who was Murong Shanyao? Yun Qing blurted out: "Murong Xiaoyao, why is he here?"

The Ghost Emperor said: "When I fled from Mount Tai, I happened to meet him. This guy somehow went crazy, so I grabbed him and thought it would be of great use to us. ”

Jing Hong looked at the unconscious Murong Lonely Yao, and forced himself to press the killing intent in his heart.
