"Where is my dad?—— Hearing this, the cuckoo immediately changed his expression, wiped his tears and looked up and asked.

"I heard from the people of the 'Canghuan Sect' that there is a cantonment in the north direction of this mountain, and the officials who were imprisoned with us at the beginning but couldn't stand the torture and finally betrayed the court are all gathered there, if you don't believe it, you can go to him and ask him in person-I think as his daughter, that guy won't fail to tell the truth......" Referring to Du Juan's father, everyone was still full of indignation.

"Hmm......" Cuckoo pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, turning and walking out of the dungeon.

"Sister-" Seeing that the cuckoo was a little emotionally out of control, Qi Xueyin simply shouted and followed......

The cuckoo's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he limped outside the cave, whistled, called back the "Lieyun" who had previously supported the followers of the "Canghuan Sect", and prepared to ride to Beishan on his own to find his father, who had been "missing" for eight years.

"Sister, wait a minute......" Qi Xueyin ran from behind, stopped the cuckoo, looked at his uncalm appearance, and hurriedly dissuaded, "You calm down, those people said those words just now, it's just a catharsis that can't stand the pain and torture of eight years, and there is no consolation......

"What about my father's things?" cuckoo said with red eyes, "those things—what my father did eight years ago, must be true?"

"Even if it's really good, sister, you don't need to be so excited-" Qi Xueyin still rarely looked at the cuckoo's loss of mind, and continued to work hard to say authoritatively.

"I'm not excited, do you still want me to kneel down and kowtow to those people as a sinner's daughter and apologize?" Woo......" The cuckoo still couldn't suppress the grief in his heart, and cried out, "Why, why has my father been lying to me for eight years...... I've got to find him and ask him about it in person, I don't believe my dad will be what they say he is—"

As he spoke, the cuckoo took the war horse on the side, preparing to ride to the north mountain.

"Wait, I'll go with you too-" Qi Xueyin was afraid that something would happen to Du Juan alone, so she simply took a leap, jumped on her war horse, and went with her......

During the journey, the "bad words" said by the officials in the dungeon just now lingered in the cuckoo's mind over and over again, making the cuckoo feel pain and despair......

(in recall)......

"The person who betrayed us was Du Changle, who was the salt official of Bianliang at that time, and it was he who hired a murderer to kill General Yi Yi!" the official in the prison continued to be indignant.

However, hearing the news, the cuckoo was stunned for a moment.

It's not just the cuckoo, after Qi Xueyin listened, she couldn't help but glance back at the cuckoo.

"Impossible, I don't believe it, it's not true......" Du Juan stood behind Qi Xueyin, his eyes were glazed, and he kept shaking his head and said to himself, "My father can't do this, he won't do this......"

"Sister ......" Qi Xueyin cast a worried look at the cuckoo, but at present, it seems that the serious consequences may be more than these.

"What are you talking about, Du Changle is your father?" Sure enough, when the officials in the prison heard the news, they all threw resentful and accusatory glances at Du Juan.

"It's my father, it's not wrong......" Cuckoo continued to be stunned, "but no, my father won't do that......"

"It's because of your father that we ended up like this——" Before Du Juan finished speaking, the sound of a riot suddenly sounded in the cell, "He betrayed the imperial court, leaked the secrets of the imperial court to Zuo Yuqiu, that bastard, and hired a murderer to kill the general of the assassination...... Your father, like Zuo Yuqiu, is an out-and-out bastard!"

"Yes, your father is a bastard, neither he nor Zuo Yuqiu can die well!" "Don't die well-" "Don't die well......" Immediately after, resentment and resentment resounded in the cell, and the resentment and pain of the past eight years seemed to be redoubled and vented, and now everyone turned their accusatory eyes on the weak girl Du Juan.

Du Juan couldn't withstand the accusatory eyes of countless people, and it was impossible for her to believe that her father not only deceived herself eight years ago, but also betrayed the court and did something hurtful. But if all this is true, the truth of the past eight years will come out, and the cuckoo will face the accusations and resentment of these hundreds of people who have been hurt and hurt, which is something that a single and lonely girl can't bear......

(In reality)......

"I don't believe it...... I don't believe it...... I don't believe ......" Cuckoo shouted in despair while riding a horse, at this time Cuckoo's heart was like a knife, and at the same time, he couldn't be silent in his heart, and at the same time, he continued to accept the truth painfully in wandering, "Dad, what have you experienced in the past eight years, why did you lie to your daughter...... Why ......"

"Sister ......" Qi Xueyin looked at Du Juan's sad expression, and her mood was also very uncomfortable, compared to herself, an orphan girl who had no relatives, she had tasted her father's deception and evil for eight years, which may be even more desperate.

The two of them rode the "Burning Clouds" all the way to the North Mountain, which those officials said......

An hour later, at the entrance of the dungeon, Dongxun and Bei Pheasant had already returned here, but it was too late, Qi Xueyin and Du Juan had already "escaped"......

"Hmph, this is the good thing your subordinates have done...... Dong Xun looked at the corpses of the disciples in disarray, and said with a sneer, "Didn't you say that it was foolproof to send someone to guard here? Why did you let that woman escape......

While speaking, Dong Xun picked up a stone and crushed it hard to vent the anger in his heart, it was obvious that the accident of Qi Xueyin's escape made him very angry.

"I'm sorry big brother, it's all the incompetence of the younger brother's subordinates......" The northern pheasant lowered his head and humbled himself, then looked at everything around him, and couldn't help muttering, "But it's impossible, she was poisoned and hung here, how did she escape?......"

Dong Xun looked around at the subordinates around who didn't dare to raise their heads, slowly took a few steps forward, and walked under the rope where Qi Xueyin was hung before, then raised his head and said slowly: "There are traces of incisions on the rope, which was cut by a knife......

"Knife? Could it be—" When the northern pheasant heard this, he couldn't help but look at the table at the door of the cell before—the "purple tooth knife" on it had been taken away, and it was obviously placed on the table before he left.

"Being hung here with a poisonous injury, theoretically there is no chance to escape...... Dongxun continued to say coldly, "But there are knife marks on the rope, which means that after you left, someone came here to save her......"

"Who will it be if you save her?......" Bei Pheasant trembled and feared, and muttered to himself, "Who has the ability to dare to break into the territory of our 'Canghuan Sect' and kill our brother ......"

"There is nothing to do with that woman, except for Taishi Hansheng and Cha Taiyun, only the woman with crippled legs and feet remains...... Dong Xun continued, "But the young lady replied to this and made it clear that Taishi Hansheng and Cha Taiyun are both in Dadu, and the only possibility is the woman who came to 'Kurong Town' together......"

"How is this possible, that lame woman doesn't know martial arts, how can she come here alone......" Bei Pheasant couldn't believe it, Zhenzhen shook his head and said.

"But that's the case...... Dongxun said very firmly, "I don't know what method she used to save that woman, but she can't even look at a disabled person who doesn't know martial arts, aren't you too incompetent?——"

In the last sentence, Dongxun deliberately raised his voice, as if he held a grudge against letting go of Qi Xueyin.

"I'm sorry big brother, it's the little brother's incompetence, if you want to punish me, punish me-" The northern pheasant bowed his head and pleaded guilty until he had committed an unforgivable mistake.

"Please punish the hall master—" The disciples of the "Canghuan Sect" who followed the northern pheasant also bowed their heads and said.

Dongxun was silent for a while, gradually fading his angry face, as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help but slowly lower his voice and said: "Forget it, now that it has become like this, there is no time to blame anyone...... Both the South Hall Master and the West Hall Master died, and I don't want any of us to die for no reason......"

"Yes, big brother......" The pheasant replied slowly, but secretly swore in his heart, "If I have a chance, I must catch that woman with my own hands again and atone for my sins!"

"Hmph, I originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take revenge, but I didn't expect to let her escape......" Dong Xun always remembered the grievances of five years ago, and couldn't help but say to himself, "Chatai Dorton, I haven't forgotten the revenge of five years ago, and now it's time for your junior sister to repay...... Wait and see, I will definitely kill her with my own hands, and I will be ashamed of my jealousy for the past five years!"

The northern pheasant was silent for a long time, as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help but change the topic and ask: "By the way, big brother, there is one thing I have always had questions, what is the purpose of the woman from the 'Qiyu Sect' who returned to 'Kurong Town'?"

"What do you want to ask?" Dong Xun didn't react for a while, and asked in an echo.

Bei Pheasant continued: "Big brother, you see, when we fought that woman for the first time, she and Cha Taiyun were closest to her master, Taishi Hansheng, and we also failed repeatedly because of those two tricky guys...... But this time Cha Taiyun and Tai Shi Hansheng are not there, why did that woman come back again, and she also brought a girl with inconvenient legs and feet, and even followed us in danger......"

"Hearing you say this, it seems that there is something really strange...... Dongxun couldn't help but change his voice when he heard this, "Now that the situation in most of the capital is so chaotic, and her master and Cha Taiyun are not here, why did she venture here again...... It can't be that he wants to settle the grievances of five years ago for his senior brother and take the initiative to come to me, right?"

"It's obvious that the woman is here for us...... "but we have something here that deserves her interest...... Unless, some of our secrets made her suspicious, and while most of our troops were in Dadu, she ran to investigate and confirm something......"

"You mean our secret?" Dong Xun also seemed to have guessed something, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

"After all, that woman is a person who stands on the side of the Chatai family and the imperial court......" Bei Pheasant continued, "If it is a secret between us and the imperial court, it will not be ......"

"Could it be that the secret of our sect over the years has made that woman or someone from the Chatai family suspicious......" Dong Xun muttered when he heard this, and his eyes couldn't help but look into the depths of the dungeon, where the Bianliang officials were held......

"Strange, why is there a torch missing here?" At this time, a disciple of the "Canghuan Sect" suddenly said.

"Torch?" the pheasant didn't react for a moment, turned around and asked.

"Yes, hall master, you see, the torch on the left is missing......" the cultist said, pointing to a vacant spot on the wall.

"Could it be ......" Dong Xun seemed to think of something, and paced away into the depths of the dungeon alone.

"Big brother, have you found something?" Bei Pheasant looked at Dongxun as if he sensed something was wrong, and stepped forward to ask.

Dongxun walked alone into the darkness deep in the dungeon, until he guessed something like a wheel under his feet - it was a extinguished torch stick, Dongxun picked it up a little and looked at it, there were still burnt marks on it.

"What's the matter, big brother?" the northern pheasant led the disciples of the "Canghuan Sect" behind him, and couldn't help but ask.

"The torch is here, someone has been here...... Dong Xun pinched the torch and said coldly, "But we 'Canghuan Sect' people all know what this place is, and we don't need to explore it at all, who else can anyone really come here with torches to explore?"

"Big brother, what do you mean to ......" Bei Pheasant seemed to understand Dongxun's meaning, and asked in a shallow voice.

Indeed, this and the torch are the traces of Qi Xueyin and Du Juan's exploration of this place before......

Dong Xun smiled coldly and continued to walk forward until he reached the door of the cell of the Bianliang officials who were being held.

"It's you ......" The officials in the prison saw Dongxun and couldn't help but raise their voices.

"I want you something...... Dong Xun didn't waste much of his words, and said straight to the point, "There was a movement outside the cell just now, did someone come to you?"

"Hmm......" The officials didn't answer, but just muffled.

However, Dongxun didn't seem to give them a chance to pause, and continued to ask by default: "Did the visitor ask anything about you, such as your origin, or our purpose......

"No—" one of the officials replied bluntly, "You guy, you have locked us up here for eight years, made me and others tortured, and now you still want to get information from us...... Hmph, dream!"

Dong Xun not only didn't get angry when he heard this, but said with a cold smile: "It's still the same as eight years ago, the bones are so hard...... But I kept you before, and I wanted to get information about the imperial court from your mouth, because our sect leader is still there, and you still have the value of use, but now that the sect leader is dead, and your use value has been used up, I suddenly found that even if I keep you, there is no need for it......" Dong Xun's tone was full of murderous intent, and it was suffocating and chilling to hear.

"What are you talking about, Zuo Yuqiu is dead?" Hearing this, the officials who still didn't know anything couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"yes...... But don't worry, I'll let you go down with him now......" Dongxun continued to speak coldly......
