Time flies, years pass, it has been eight years since the battle for southern Xinjiang came to an end, and in these years, with Zhu Yuanzhang sweeping Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang and other large and small warlords to form a dominant situation, all the way to the north, the triumphant song was played, and the day of the collapse of Yuan and Mongolia was not far away. And southern Xinjiang itself has also undergone earth-shaking changes, first of all, the Han people according to the requirements of the covenant to the southern Xinjiang for a large-scale material supply and transportation, so that the livelihood of the people in southern Xinjiang has been picked up, at the same time, Baizhongjiao also agreed to the rebel army to take the southern Xinjiang, three sides to besiege and occupy Guizhou, the third month after the end of the southern Xinjiang battle, the empty Guizhou camp was broken, Xitolazhang was evacuated alone, Ba Han Ke Lao Shuai did not go, one night drew his sword and killed himself, walked his glorious life of Rong Ma, the Yuan and Mongolian court held a grand state funeral for him in Beiping, commending his outstanding life。

In the following years, southern Xinjiang sent troops from the north to fight against Li Siqi's troops entrenched there with the three heroes of Shuzhong; in the east, together with the valley of the waterway, completely drove the imperial forces out of the Liangguang region, and in response to the request of the Han people, sent a team of 20,000 people and more than 1,000 divisions to participate in the Northern Expedition, and participated in many battles from Hubei to Shaanxi with extraordinary bravery. This move is not only to fulfill the alliance treaty, but also to exercise their military strength, because the battle for southern Xinjiang has made it clear that Baizhongjiao has not participated in the war at all, and it cannot improve its military quality at all, let alone be recognized by the people of the world.

Early one morning, Miao Buyan was watering flowers in the back garden of the general altar in the sect, she was in a good mood these days, Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition was progressing smoothly, and the Yuan Dadu of the surrounding area was overwhelmed, it seemed that it was impossible for Yuanmeng to regain the overlord of the Central Plains, and Haidan was dealing with the distribution of a batch of food and materials that had just arrived in the valley, everything was so comfortable, and she had more and more time to rest recently, and it seemed that it was time to pay attention to her own cultivation.

Suddenly, a person came in a hurry, it turned out to be Dao Yuxin, her expression suddenly became unusually serious, and she said four words to Miao Buyan: "The situation is urgent." ”

Miao Buyan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Yuanmeng is coming?"

"Of course not. ”

"Shortage of supplies?"

"Not really. ”

"Oh, that's good. Miao Buyan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then what else can make you rush like this." ”

Dao Yuxin made a look, Miao Buyan retreated left and right, and sat on the stone bench in the garden: "Sit, aunt, let's talk." ”

Dao Yuxin didn't sit down, but whispered: "You hurry up and clean up, I found out that the old cave mansion was invaded again last night, and we have to go in early to catch the thief." ”

"What?" Miao Buyan was also taken aback, "The war has been busy in the past few years, and I have no time to take care of this matter, but I didn't expect that if I was a little comfortable in the past few days, the thief couldn't bear it, okay, I'll prepare, but as the sect leader, I suddenly disappeared, and you also disappeared suddenly, and the last time we discussed bringing Shama Ori, we all suddenly disappeared, everyone must be suspicious." ”

"I've already arranged it, we're ...... like this," Dao Yuxin whispered in his ear with a plan.

In the afternoon, Miao Buyan summoned all the village owners and village guys to come to negotiate, and everyone who could come came, Miao Buyan did not beat around the bush, and directly asked Haidan about the distribution of materials.

"It's good. Haidan clapped his hands relaxedly, "It's all distributed, but the grain and grass are from the sea, and there are many salted fish, kelp and other sea food in the grain and grass transported, and the people on our side are afraid that they will not be used to it." ”

Everyone laughed, Miao Buyan was also happy, and then asked, "Do you have anything important to report?"

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't make a sound, it seemed that there was nothing serious, Miao Buyan sat up straight, it was her turn to say, it turned out that she told everyone that this period of time was smooth, and it seemed that there was no big deal, so she decided to retreat for a month, strengthen her own practice, and ordered Haidan to consul in general affairs, and the affairs of the war would be handed over to Nong Huke to be responsible, one inside and one outside, and the others should keep their duties, and they should not be slack, and everyone promised. At the same time, a letter from the east and a north came, and the east of the valley came, hoping to send people over to participate in the ceremony, because over the years, the navy of the valley swept the sea, and was about to go north, the last battle against Yuan and Mongolia, so it was intended to send Dao Yuxin to lead some people to go, after all, Chen Yanyan, who had been sent by the valley, had a very high status, and the southern Xinjiang could not lack the number of courtesies, especially this ceremony was of great significance, so it was not sloppy, let Dao Yuxin and another village owner select a few people to bring some gifts to the past; , to negotiate on this issue, let Shama Oli, who has been dealing with the three heroes of Shushan in the north, bring a few people over, hoping to resolve the incident peacefully and stop raising swords.

Everyone had no opinion on this proposal, and these candidates were decided in the following time, and after the end, Miao Buyan left Shamaoli alone, and Shamaoli asked strangely: "What else does the sect leader have to order?"

Miao Buyan told him about the changes in the old cave mansion, and explained that the things he just said were just excuses, asking Dao Yuxin and Sha Ma Ouli to go back and pretend to prepare for a long trip, and then under the pretext of arranging some other matters, they quietly stayed, and went to the old cave mansion to ambush during this time, and they must catch the traitor.

Shama Ori was naturally very surprised, but he didn't expect this to happen, so he immediately took the order and rushed back to make arrangements. In the evening, the three of them dressed up in disguise and quietly slipped to the old cave mansion, as mentioned earlier, the Baizhong Sect occupies a huge area, and the entire Shanxian city is theirs, the old cave mansion is in the periphery of an inconspicuous mountain, digging many holes, setting a ban to form the current appearance, the three of them sneaked around the sentry post quietly, standing in the mountain, looking at the entrances of various caves, after all, there are many different races in southern Xinjiang, each ethnic group has one, and I don't know where to go first.

Shama Oli didn't care very much, signaling Miao Buyan not to worry, presumably the thief wouldn't come every day, anyway, there was a month, squatting here and waiting slowly, not to mention that the sect leader declared a retreat to the outside world, then it was a good thing, the thief would be happy when he heard it, knowing that he had plenty of time, he would come from time to time, as for the enemy's means, then there was no need to worry, although the one who could kill Miao Yixiong must be a great supernatural person, but Shama Ori and Dao Yuxin are here, even if the Gu Chen Qi comes, he can't please go.

Not much to say, more than ten days flashed by, the three of them were a little unbreathable when they finally had a harvest, and said that night, suddenly a black shadow jumped from the treetops, Dao Yuxin was the first to find out, but did not alarm him, and look where he went, the strange thing is that the man stood at the door of the old cave and waited, looked up, only then flew up to the middle one to enter, there is no exit in the cave, it is a dead end, as long as this person goes in and the three people block him, it is done, I don't want the person to wander at the door for a while, the figure is stagnant, I found something, turned around and suddenly flew away, as a result, Sha Ma Ouli blocked the front, Dao Yuxin and Miao Buyan followed, The three of them surrounded the person, the thief did not hesitate to raise his hand to Miao Buyan, and in an instant, more than forty knives covered Miao Buyan's whole body, Dao Yuxin was shocked, and had no choice but to let go of the gap in front of Miao Buyan, and took this trick, the person just took advantage of this gap and disappeared into the woods.

The three of them were very frustrated, Miao Buyan secretly blamed himself for being too careless, his cultivation was too low and he was exploited, Dao Yuxin looked at the knife thrown by the man in the moonlight for a long time, and found that it was an ordinary Han knife, and sniffed it with his nose, it was very strange that it was not quenched, you must know that the cup master is not poisoned, the only strange thing is that this person hides himself as a Han everywhere, why is this? Dao Yuxin shook his head and denied it, because the one who could get the token must be a member of the sect, how could it be a Han person, and how could the Han people know where the token was? Dao Yuxin was suspicious of Sha Ma Ori, because the thief wanted to escape because he discovered the whereabouts of the three people, how could the three of them hide so secretly? Miao Buyan is impossible, and it is impossible for himself, only Sha Ma Oli is suspected of collusion, and he also chased it, and nine times out of ten he deliberately indulged it, and he and Miao Yixiong already had a grudge.

Shamaori was shocked, pointing to the sky and swearing with the spirit of the ancestors that he hadn't done so. Dao Yuxin didn't believe it, and asked Sha Ma Ouli how he found out if he hadn't colluded with him? Sha Ma Ouli thought about it, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, turned around and walked a few steps, casually opened a handful of leaves, the three of them all understood, there were a few dark purple ants on it, Dao Yuxin's face was blue, because to be able to find the whereabouts of the three people must have some different means, these ants can indeed do it, and throughout the entire sect, only the Tan Worm Village has this kind of thing, indicating that this person is lurking in the Tan Worm Village, Miao Buyan said angrily: " Okay, it's easy to do it now, this is confirmed, and tomorrow we will go back and investigate the matter thoroughly. ”

But no one expected that Miao Buyan's investigation not only did not find out the thief, but instead lost his position as the sect leader, and what he didn't expect was that many years later, Chu Xunyu and the three of them would gradually come to this matter under the guidance of fate......
