The green mountains lie in front of you, a small river swims in the flowing water, a mountain villa on the river beach is shallowly outlined, a stilted inn is faintly dotted on the river beach, plus a few lonely boats on the small river, the mountains and rivers are suitable, just like an ink painting, the layout and selection of the beauty valley can be called the most in the world, and even the entrance implies charm.

It's a pity that although the scenery is good, the passers-by don't have good feelings, Zong Zheng and Xianjie followed the boss for a few days and came to the return villa.

The inn on the side of the river beach in the lower reaches faintly in front of him, Zong Zheng looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly remembered the situation of the Talented and Beautiful Woman's Day, without the noise and crowds of that day, Zong Zheng faintly felt that this small world has its own charm, and he was in this place with Brother Ma and Brother Changfeng to board the boat to enter the Beauty Valley.

The boss took Zong Zheng and Xianjie to the downstream river beach, and ordered the boatman to prepare two boats, and the five hundred grain soldiers had already disappeared, and it seemed that they had another task, and they disappeared after escorting them for a hundred miles from the inn.

"Presumably you know the rules here!" The boss handed Zong Zheng and Xian Jie a black cloth towel each, Zong Zheng naturally knew what the boss meant, so he took two black cloth towels from the boss's hand, and handed one of them to Xian Jie, "Xian'er, you will be blindfolded when you board the boat!"

After Zongzheng and Xianjie were blindfolded, the boss ordered the boatman to start the boat and walked forward in the dark for a long time.

According to the path of the original Zongzheng into the Valley of Beauty, the two entered the middle valley of the Valley of Beauty again, and the valley lord was very happy to hear that the two distinguished guests had come to the valley, and he wanted to see him immediately, but he thought that the two of them were in the dust, so he ordered someone to entertain dinner, and wanted to summon them again after nightfall.

The two were arranged in the Green Bamboo Pavilion where Xianjie originally lived, where the things and objects and decorations were the same as in the old days, and Xianjie felt familiar when she entered the house, but mixed with the smell of grains and grains, it was difficult to say.

After the subordinates arranged by the valley lord exited the door one by one, Xianjie immediately closed the door, and she couldn't hold back the many questions in her heart, "Brother Zheng, let me ask you, why did you agree to come to the Beauty Valley! Aren't you afraid of being imprisoned again?"

Zong Zheng looked at Xianjie's excited appearance and knew that she was worried about her own safety, so he explained: "Xian'er, do you think that according to the situation at that time, do we still have a choice?"

"That would be, we have no choice, but we obviously have many opportunities to escape on the way, why don't you go? Do you want to go to the Valley of Beauty from the bottom of your heart?" Xian Jiefu asked again, she saw through Zongzheng's thoughts.

Seeing that Xian'er knew what he meant, Zong Zheng admitted, "Yes." ”

"Why?" Xianjie was a little puzzled.

"Because of you, it's because of me!" Zong Zheng did not explain specifically, Xianjie was a little confused, "In short, Xian'er, Brother Zheng has a hard time, you don't have to ask hard, I promise you, as soon as these things are understood, I will tell you the reason as soon as possible." ”

Xianjie saw that Brother Zheng's face was a little tired, so she stopped asking and asked another question, "Okay, since Brother Zheng is difficult to say, Xian'er doesn't ask anymore, but the people I met at the foot of the Shaolin Temple that day are likely to be the murderers of my father, why does Brother Zheng have to obey them so much? We can obviously question them, and then ,,,,,,"

Before he could finish speaking, Zong Zheng picked up and said: "What can you do? My stupid fairy, you can't be carried away by hatred for a while, yes, they are likely to be the murderers of your father, but you ask directly, what if people don't admit it?"

Xianjie thought about it for a while, and seemed to have an understanding, "Oh, I understand, Xian'er is confused, but now that the middle of the road has been robbed by the Valley of Beauty, how can we break into them and find evidence that they killed my father?"

Zong Zhengan persuaded Xianjie: "Xian'er rest assured, it is expected that the middle of the road was robbed by the Valley of Beauty, and it is also within my plan." ”

Zhang Hongyan's last mention of the thirty warriors reminded Zongzheng, so that he couldn't help but wonder if the relationship between the Valley of Beauty and Kublai Khan was as he thought, and the confrontation between Zhang Hongyan and the other group of people clearly showed that Mongolia had two authoritative people, at that moment, Zong Zheng couldn't help but think of the situation when Xijiao Mountain rescued Kublai Khan, at that time, he had doubts, why those foreign masters would come to assassinate Kublai Khan, Zhu Yunshi was obviously also working for Mongolia, and Kublai Khan was the king of Monan, why did his own family kill his own family, and also, Zhongshan Eight Wolves had outstanding martial arts, and it was naturally not a problem to deal with those foreigners, but why did he ask me to come forward, and the situation was so critical at that time, but the eight wolves of Zhongshan have been secretly helping each other with stones, and they have never shown up, but they are also strange.

After some thought, Zong Zheng finally figured out some clues, so he was willing to follow the ghost-faced old monster to go together, because he knew that if things turned out to be as he expected, then the people of Beauty Valley would never watch themselves fall into the hands of those people, and they would definitely come to the rescue, and they were as reluctant to show up as they were last time they saved people;

Now, he understood a little, he finally knew that what Zhang Hongyan said was the truth, and the mind of the beauty valley lord was really deep enough, and he couldn't help but make Zong Zheng feel that dealing with such a person was really terrifying.

Xianjie listened to Zongzheng's answer, she couldn't help but be a little confused, she seemed to feel that the brother in front of her and the brother she knew when she was a child seemed to have changed a lot, more resourcefulness, less confession, some words, some things, he gradually learned to bear it alone, it seems that Brother Zheng has changed slightly, or maybe it has changed a lot, but it has been separated for a long time, and he has not yet noticed it.

So, she didn't ask anymore, she felt that she was so useless, and now she couldn't even understand her brother's thoughts, so how could she work hard with her brother.

But Zong Zheng has never thought about Xianjie so much, the reason why he didn't tell Xianjie is that on the one hand, some things can't be explained clearly, and on the other hand, he doesn't want Xianjie to worry, and he doesn't know that his daughter's family will think like this.

Xianjie's eyes dimmed, she sat down with a gloomy expression, poured a glass of cold water and drank it alone, a cup of cold water moistened her throat and stomach, her heart was like pure water, she didn't feel anything, she just wanted to be quiet alone.

Zong Zheng saw Xianjie's unhappiness, he didn't understand what he had done wrong, so he stepped forward and asked, "Xian'er, did Brother Zheng do something wrong?"

"No, it's Xian'er who feels useless. Xianjie replied weakly, with a sad face.

"Why do you think that?" Zong Zheng couldn't help but wonder,

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, "Childe, girl, dinner is coming, please open the door!"

Zong Zheng opened the door, and a group of maids entered the door in turn with five or six soup dishes, carefully placed the plates and plates on the table, and when the meals were all ready, the maids retreated, and Xianjie took out a silver needle, and tested whether the food was toxic one by one, and saw that the silver needle was not different, so he said to Zong Zheng: "Brother Zheng, after a day's journey, let's eat!"

Zong Zheng knew that Xianjie was deliberately avoiding Fang Cai's own question, thinking that he was unwilling to answer, so he didn't ask, but picked up the rice bowl, in fact, even if Xianjie didn't use the silver needle to test, he also knew that these meals were absolutely not poisonous, so he enjoyed them with confidence.

Zong Zheng wanted to break the embarrassment, so he wanted to clip a green vegetable and hand it to Xianjie's bowl, Xianjie actually had this idea at the same time, the two unconsciously caught the same green vegetable, looked at each other, and immediately loosened, but it was even more embarrassing.

The dinner was silent, and the two of them didn't ask, and the other didn't say, and they were extremely embarrassed and silent.

After dinner, Bi Yan entered the room and said to Zong Zheng and Xian Jie: "The two of you, please come with me, the valley master is invited!"

The two followed Bi Yan in the direction of the forbidden land.

Since the last forbidden land was broken through by Xianjie, the valley lord ordered people to change the various organs on the opposite side, and deliberately added a few secret passes, this time entering the forbidden land, the two of them naturally entered blindfolded.

When she arrived at a room in the corridor, Bi Yan untied the cloth towels of Zong Zheng and Xianjie, and when her vision was clear, Xianjie recognized that this room was the place where the valley lord and the five elders had discussed last time.

Bi Yan pointed to the open secret door in front of her and said, "The valley lord ordered the prince to wait here, and let Miss Situ Xianjie go in first!"

Xianjie glanced at Zong Zheng, and Zong Zheng responded with his eyes, signaling Xianjie to go with peace of mind and not to worry.

Then, Xianjie walked towards the secret door, slightly apprehensive in her heart, after all, the last time she escaped from the Beauty Valley destroyed the forbidden land, and in the face of a deep person like the valley master, she has always been slightly cowardly.

Zong Zheng waited outside for only a quarter of an hour, and then, Xianjie came out quickly, although she saw that Xianjie was unharmed, she was displeased, her face was gloomy, and she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xian'er, are you okay?" Why is your face so ugly, did the valley master do something to you?"

Xianjie looked at her brother, a trace of unspeakability flashed in her eyes, and she shook her head slightly and said, "I'm fine, the valley master didn't do anything to me." ”

"Zheng Gongzi, the valley master is invited, Miss Situ Xianjie, please go back first!" Bi Yan said,

Xian Jie immediately avoided Zong Zheng's eyes and followed Bi Yan out, "Xian'er," Zong Zheng shouted,

But seeing that Xian'er didn't look back, nor did he respond, looking at the back of Xian'er's departure, Zong Zheng always felt uneasy in his heart, so he hurriedly walked to the secret door, wanting to ask what the valley master said to Xian'er.

The lights inside were bright, and the valley lord's face exuded a youthful brilliance under the light of the candlelight, "We meet again!" the valley lord said slowly,

"What did you say to Xian'er?" Zong Zheng asked loudly, in a tone of inquiry and blame.

The valley lord still replied calmly: "Of course there are some things she should know. ”

"What's the matter?" Zong Zheng asked rhetorically,

"I said it was something she should know, not something you should know, so I won't tell you!" replied the valley master.
