Chapter Ninety-Nine: Hearing the Bad News and Grieving
Xianjie walked out cautiously, and just before she got out of the tunnel, she heard a slight rumbling sound.
Looking back, I saw that the tunnel entrance was immediately sealed.
Knowing that she couldn't stay for a long time, Xianjie hurriedly and quietly went out of the door, and according to the previous experience, only the roof was the safest, so she lifted her breath and flew up to the roof.
Xianjie knew that the valley lord was powerful, so she walked along the roof and kept raising her breath and walking carefully, for fear of being accidentally detected by the valley owner.
Halfway through the line, she suddenly heard a faint voice coming from below, Xianjie thought about asking for the news of her brother, so she uncovered a few tiles, carefully lay down above, and looked down.
Seeing that it was the valley lord and several elders again, they seemed to be discussing something important, and Xian Jie listened carefully.
"The valley lord really has a unique vision, and now the king of Mo Nan not only successfully avoided the pursuit, but also got rid of the dilemma of the battle of Ezhou safely, which is gratifying. The Great Elder congratulated,
The other four elders also congratulated together, "Congratulations to the Valley Lord. β
"Yes, I didn't expect that kid to be even more powerful than I thought, but after all, he still couldn't escape my plan, and let him die at the hands of those martial arts people, which can be regarded as his last use! The valley lord said coldly,
Xianjie heard it clearly, and couldn't help but feel shocked, fortunately she was not too excited to make a sound, Xianjie couldn't help but listen carefully again, and comforted herself in her heart: "The person they are talking about may not be Brother Zheng." β
"There is one thing that I have not yet figured out, and I hope that the lord of the valley will make it clear. The second elder said to the valley lord,
"Second Elder, what do you know?" the valley lord replied lightly,
"If this man has been of great help to our plans, why did the Valley Lord put him to death?" the Second Elder asked,
The valley lord's eyes widened angrily, and when he said this, he seemed to be angry, and his expression immediately changed greatly, and he said sharply,
"Why? Hehehe, if it weren't for his appearance, why would I have to go through so much trouble, do you know that this Zongzheng is the one who saved Wang Jian in Diaoyu City, and it was also he who used seven tactics in a battle to burn the grain and grass of the first khan without spending a single soldier, if it weren't for him, why would the first khan attack the Diaoyu City for a long time, and he died in the Diaoyu City, and unfortunately passed away, why should I re-assist Kublai Khan, the king of Monan, and go around such a big circle for our plan. β
When Xianjie heard that the person the valley lord said was her beloved brother, she couldn't help crying immediately, and then covered her mouth with her hand, holding back, not daring to move.
When several elders heard what the valley lord said, they all sighed, and the second elder said, "If this is the case, then this person deserves to die." β
The valley lord said with a gloomy face,
"Not only that, the grand plan drawn up by the lord of this valley to deal with those martial arts people in the Central Plains, the first step, the falcon plan was very smooth, and the second step of the falcon plan was also very smooth, but unfortunately at the critical moment, it was disrupted by the appearance of this kid, and my third step to destroy the eagle plan was stillborn before it was implemented, and the well-planned grand plan was shattered, and what I hated most in my life was that someone disrupted and destroyed my plan in the middle of my plan, and Zongzheng became the person I hated the most. β
Beauty Valley is worthy of being placed in the Southern Song Dynasty spy agency, the valley owner is really powerful, since the Zhongshan Eight Wolves reported that Zong Zheng was inexplicably chased and killed by people in the martial arts, the valley owner was curious about Zongzheng, so he carefully investigated Zongzheng, although he did not find out the origin of Zongzheng's life, but unexpectedly found out that Zongzheng rescued Wang Jian in Diaoyu City, destroyed Meng Ge's grain and grass and destroyed the Eagle Fighting Plan, the valley owner heard the results of Zongzheng's trip to Ezhou, he was very satisfied, and wanted to keep him for great use, but when the valley owner learned what Zongzheng had done before, he immediately changed his mind, and his attitude towards Zongzheng was also reversedγ
The second elder couldn't help but sigh when he heard what the valley lord said: "This kid seems to be really our nemesis, and he has ruined so many good things for us, no wonder the valley lord has to put him to death." β
The third elder was slightly opposed, she reminded: "But the valley lord, it is already a fact that he wants to re-assist Kublai Khan, the king of Monan, at the moment, and Zongzheng can help Kublai Khan to win the throne as soon as possible for us.
The valley lord immediately reprimanded: "What do you know? Based on what Zongzheng did before, this valley lord can conclude that he is definitely not the kind of person who is willing to be used by us, and he may have other thoughts, not to mention, he has seen Feng Laoqin, and this secret must not be known to more people." β
When the three elders heard what the valley lord said, they felt that it was very reasonable, so they said no more.
The valley lord continued: "That Zongzheng is a sleeping tiger, he is only young and young at the moment, and his qualifications are still young, if he has more experience in the future, his mind gradually deepens, he is our terrible enemy, it is better to seize the opportunity as soon as possible while he is not awake, and get rid of it as soon as possible." β
The Great Elder then asked, "Since that Zongzheng is already dead, what does the Valley Master plan to do with that clever girl?"
Xianjie heard that it was related to herself, so she cheered up again and listened carefully,
The valley lord pondered for a moment, and then replied: " That girl is the best person in the center of wisdom and courage of many girls I have ever seen, at present, the entire Southern Song Dynasty up to the bureaucratic doctors, the generals and heavy envoys, down to the county capital and the state government are all installed with our eyeliner, and even the flowers are red and willow green, but the Song Emperor's pillow is still lacking a capable person, this matter, I have already planned, but unfortunately has not found a desirable person, so it has been repeatedly shelved, I heard that next year's spring, the Song Emperor will choose a concubine again, with the girl's talent, plus our people in the court to help, she will be able to choose, so, we placed an important chess piece next to the pillow of the Song Emperor, this chess piece is far more important than other chess piecesγ β
When the five elders heard what the valley lord said, they unanimously praised, "The valley lord is wise. β
When Xian Jie heard this, she didn't feel too much grief and resentment, at this moment, for Xian Jie, there was nothing more sad than hearing the news of Zong Zheng's death.
While everyone was rejoicing, suddenly there was a knock at the door, and the valley lord immediately shouted, "Come in." β
Bi Yan came in with a letter and told the valley master: "Valley master, I received the latest letter brought back by Bai Diao, but you were not there, so I didn't hand it in time." So saying, he handed the letter in his hand to the valley lord.
The valley lord took the letter from Bi Yan's hand and said, "Got it, go down!"
Bi Yan left and closed the door casually.
The valley lord opened the letter, and his face was ugly for a while.
The Great Elder asked, "But it's a letter from the Eight Wolves of Zhongshan?"
The valley lord replied: "The eldest replied that the second, fourth, sixth and eighth children have not returned so far, and he ordered the third child to go to Yin Cheng to investigate, but he only heard the news that Zongzheng's life and death are uncertain, and there is no news about the other four brothers. β
When Xian Jie heard the news that Zongzheng's life and death were uncertain, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her dead heart rekindled a little flame, her heart was a little relieved, and her eyes were full of tears. She didn't dare to continue listening, she was afraid that her emotions would be too ups and downs, and she would be surprised. He hurriedly put back the tiles softly, and while the valley master was still in the room, he lifted his breath and flew away.
When the Great Elder heard what the valley lord said, he couldn't help but question: "The temperament of the second elder, we all know it very well, he will definitely go to the appointment on time, if he can't arrive in time, he will also fly the pigeon in advance to inform him, why is there no news until now?"
The valley lord was also puzzled, secretly thought about and analyzed, and said: "I also feel strange, did they all suffer accidents? Impossible, they are my own hands, if they fight alone, they may not be able to resist, but the four of them together, in today's world, I am afraid that few people can clean them up, not to mention that there are no clues at all, and they are so clean." β
The second elder asked, "Could it be that the enemy is cunning and separates the four of them and destroys them one by one?"
The valley lord's face was full of suspicion, and at this moment, she was also very confused and puzzled.
The Great Elder said: "This matter, we still need to send someone to investigate carefully, in addition, the letter said that Zongzheng's life and death are uncertain, what is going on?"
The valley lord replied: "This matter was originally carried out by the second child with the fourth, sixth and eighth children, the truth is afraid that only a few of them know, but there is no news about them, so the third child can only secretly investigate, according to the third child, he caught a disciple of the beggar gang, the disciple told the third child, there was no trace of the second child and others that day, and Zongzheng was indeed besieged under the cliff, besieged by the masters of the major factions, and was seriously injured, but in the end, he was rescued by a horse and carried into the Pangu Peaks, therefore, the third said that Zongzheng's life and death were uncertain. β
After hearing this, several elders were secretly puzzled, and the Great Elder was worried: "If Zongzheng does not die, he must know that it was the valley master who made a plan, and he will definitely come back to take revenge." β
The valley lord looked proud and said disdainfully: "Not to mention that he is seriously injured, even if he saves his life, it will be difficult for me to suffer from Bingdou, not to mention what is the place of Pangu Peaks, if he is really immortal, he can come out of Pangu Peaks, not to mention, his beloved girl is still in my hands, what am I afraid of." β
After hearing this, the Great Elder secretly admired the valley master's strategy, and praised: "The valley master is far-sighted, and he has already left a backhand, which really makes me admire." β
"Okay, don't praise it, the matter of the second child is still a question, I have to reply to the boss as soon as possible, today's meeting will end here!" said the valley lord majestically, his expression very serious, and then turned to leave.
"Congratulations to the valley master. The five elders said in unison,
Xianjie returned the same way, and did not encounter obstacles along the way, and when she came to the Xuan House, she quietly slipped into the house through the window at night.
When he entered the Xuan House, he could no longer hold back his ups and downs, thinking of the uncertain life and death of his brother, remembering the strange dream he had a few days ago and his recent flustered, so he couldn't wait to leave the valley immediately and go to Yin Cheng to find his brother.
Xianjie was in an extremely sad mood, full of thoughts and worries, and there were sobs from time to time in the dark, and she secretly swore in her heart: If her brother dies unfortunately, although she can't take revenge, she will never be at the disposal of the enemy, to be a princess, since she should follow her brother, she will not live alone in the world. β
In Xianjie's heart, Brother Zheng is her life, the hope and joy of her life, if Brother Zheng leaves, then she will have no hope and fun of living, and naturally she does not want to live alone in the world, if she can, Xianjie is willing to exchange her life for Zongzheng's life.
After a period of grief and catharsis, Xianjie regained her composure, and then thought that her brother was still alive, so she told herself that she must not give up lightly, so she thought that she must get out of the valley as soon as possible and rush to Yin Cheng to find her beloved brother, whether he lives or dies, he must also accompany him.
Xianjie made up her mind, became strong again, thought about it calmly, and felt that the most urgent thing was the antidote, so all she could do now was to wait, waiting for the first time to issue the antidote.
