Chapter 1315: Father and Daughter Reunite (Part II)
"With your skills, it's not enough for this girl to drink a pot-" Qi Xueyin laughed and mocked, and after somersaulting, she kicked all the officials from the column to the ground.
"Ouch-ah......" The officials fell to the ground one after another like fallen sweet potatoes, and the scene once seemed very funny.
After moving her muscles and bones, Qi Xueyin seemed to feel bored, so she directly picked up a Pu knife and flew in the direction of the official leader.
"Stop, stop—" The leader of the officials saw the fright, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates beside him.
But these officials are just weak literati, where have they been tossed like this? Looking at Qi Xueyin's ghost-like figure, he had already grunted and hid behind, and he didn't dare to fight back again.
"Eh, don't run-" The leader of the officials looked even more hurried and panicked as he watched his subordinates flee, but when he came back to his senses, Qi Xueyin had already put the knife on his neck.
"There's no way to do it now, right?" Qi Xueyin also deliberately mocked, and pretended to threaten, "I see you do it for me again-"
"Woman, spare your life......" When the chief official saw this, he immediately fell down, and cried urgently, "We ...... We're just under the control of the guys from the 'Canghuan Sect', we're ...... I didn't do anything......"
Qi Xueyin looked at the funny appearance of the leader of the officials sparing his life, and couldn't help but smile, and then said seriously: "Don't worry, this girl didn't come here to take your life, it was your people who did it first, and this girl was forced to ......."
"What does the heroine want, we ...... We will definitely promise......" said the leader of the officials, whose neck was still held by a knife, trembling.
"This girl is here to find someone, who, like you, is also an official who betrayed the imperial court and defected to the 'Canghuan Sect'......" Qi Xueyin continued to say seriously.
"What...... Miscellaneous...... Who?" asked the chief of the officials, anxious and afraid.
"Former Bianliang salt official, Du Changle—" Qi Xueyin said with a calm face.
"Yes, yes...... There is a ......" The leader of the officials nodded hurriedly, and then shouted behind him, "Lao Du, this girl...... I want to find you by name......"
During the shouting, an old man in his forties and fifties slowly walked out behind everyone, sighing for a few vicissitudes of white hair, which made people sigh very much.
Qi Xueyin saw clearly, this person was the old man who came to pick up the letter of "Canghuan Sect" last time when he was monitoring in the restaurant last time, and he was exactly the same as Du Juan described.
"I am Du Changle...... the old man said in a vicissitudes of life, "I don't know this girl's name, what is the matter with coming to find the old body today?"
"Sure enough, it's you......" Qi Xueyin smiled slightly, then turned her head to the side of the hill and shouted, "Sister, come down and see, is he your father?"
As he spoke, at one end of the hillside, the cuckoo limped down sideways. When he saw the old man in front of him, Du Juan's tears couldn't help but fall - that's right, this person is his father, his father who has been suspended for eight years and has not been heard from.
"Are you...... Juan Er ...... "Before the cuckoo spoke, Du Changle recognized the cuckoo first, and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
"Daddy......" The cuckoo choked and cried in response, and could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and walked forward briskly step by step, until he walked to his father, looking at the vicissitudes of life with all the white hair, tears came out of his eyes.
"You really are...... Juan'er ...... "Du Changle couldn't control his emotions for a while, he hadn't seen his daughter for eight years, and now her daughter has grown up, but her appearance has not changed."
Qi Xueyin looked at the picture of the reunion of the father and daughter, and she couldn't help but squeeze out tears - thinking of her deceased relatives, Qi Xueyin's eyes were not only moved by the reunion of Du Juan's father and daughter, but also a little sadness of her own decline......
"Juan'er, why did you come to this place? Also, what's wrong with your feet......" Looking at Du Juan's disabled legs and feet, thinking about why the daughter of the Nangong family in Bianliang came to Dadu, who was far away in the north, Du Changle, as a father, couldn't help but ask.
"My daughter was raised in Nangong's house for less than seven years, and then she was ransomed by the young master who came to the dart bureau, and came to Dadu with the dart bureau ...... north" Du Juan tried to retract his tears and said slowly, "It's just that my daughter's legs and feet, because of an accident, are temporarily disabled, but there is still the possibility of recovery in the future......
"Juan'er, you...... Now it's someone who has come to the dart game, right......" Du Changle's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but say with emotion.
"It's you, dad, ...... yourself," the cuckoo gradually controlled his emotions and asked in a different voice, "Why did you lie to your daughter about your death eight years ago...... Also, why did you get involved with the people of the 'Canghuan Sect'?"
"What happened eight years ago ......" However, when it came to this incident, Du Changle seemed to change his expression, and deliberately concealed and avoided, saying, "It's better that you don't want to know, it's not good for you......"
"Why ?——" Hearing this, the cuckoo was very puzzled and continued to ask, "Is there any hidden secret?" or ......?"
"By the way, how did you find your father here?" Du Changle continued to ask.
"The first time I came to Kurong Town a few months ago, I saw that you went to the restaurant where we lived, and were with the people of the 'Canghuan Sect'......" Du Juan said briefly, "This time it was to save Sister Qi, he was arrested and put into the dungeon for following the people of the 'Canghuan Sect'...... From the officials, the daughter learned something that happened eight years ago, although the daughter did not fully believe it......"
"In this way, you already know what happened eight years ago?......" Hearing this, Du Changle's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he seemed to ask with some disappointment.
"I don't know it completely, but my daughter knows some seemingly amazing inside ......" Du Juan's expression also changed, and he questioned his father, "Dad, listen to them, eight years ago, it was you who colluded with Zuo Yuqiu, a former court official, and betrayed them and the confidential information of the imperial court...... Also, it was you who secretly hired a murderer to kill the general who went south to Bianliang eight years ago to inspect the general, is this all true?"
Du Changle didn't answer immediately, and he didn't even dare to look at his daughter directly.
"Daddy, you answer me—" The more this happened, the more anxious the cuckoo's expression became, and she couldn't wait to know the truth about eight years ago.
"Dad has already said it, this matter is known, it is not good for you, you should not ask again-" Du Changle seemed to be a little emotional, and couldn't help but reprimand loudly.
Suddenly, the scene was quiet, Du Juan did not speak, Du Changle did not speak, and the atmosphere was a little awkward and frozen for a while. Du Changle realized that he shouldn't have scolded his daughter, and couldn't help but turn around with a slightly regretful expression.
"I'm sorry Juan'er, Dad shouldn't have said that...... you" Du Changle breathed a sigh of relief, and then said slowly, "But you believe in Dad, Dad will definitely not harm you, and things related to the 'Canghuan Sect' and the imperial court, Juan'er, you still don't ask again." ”
"I'm going to keep my daughter in the dark again, like eight years ago...... said," the cuckoo said with tears of sadness when he heard this.
Turning his head to look at his daughter's sad face, Du Changle was also a little unbearable, but for the sake of his daughter's safety, Du Changle still held back.
"Eight years ago, no matter what reason your father did, you deceived your daughter into her death, but behind your back, you were doing shady things with the 'Canghuan Sect'......" Du Juan continued to say sadly, "The officials who were imprisoned before said that you had committed so many crimes, and at first my daughter didn't believe it, but now my daughter believes it......"
"I'm sorry Juan'er, Dad lied to you before...... But you believe in Dad, Dad will definitely not harm you, so Juan'er, don't ask any more questions about this......" Du Changle said alone, suppressing the sadness in his heart.
"Just like eight years ago, don't tell your daughter anything, and continue to let your daughter live in deception, right......" Du Juan was a little heartbroken, his thoughts were for a moment, and he seemed to be a little out of control, he shook his head alone, and said disheartenedly, "Well, just like eight years ago, your daughter is a father, you are dead, and you don't live in this world at all-"
After saying that, the cuckoo seemed to have lost his mind a little, and turned his head and left without looking.
"Juan'er-" Du Changle looked at his daughter's heartbroken appearance, and wanted to reach out and call her back, but he couldn't shout no matter how he shouted.
"Uncle, don't worry, I'll chase her back-" At the critical moment, Qi Xueyin stood up and persuaded her, and then turned around and chased after the cuckoo......
At the same time, the stronghold of the "Canghuan Sect" ......
According to the original plan, Dongxun thought that after Du Juan rescued Qi Xueyin, he must have hid back somewhere in Kurong Town, and was going to wait for Bei Pheasant to deal with the situation in the dungeon, and then come back and send his men to block the town and wipe out Qi Xueyin and Du Juan.
But after waiting for half an hour, the northern pheasant never came back, and Dongxun was a little anxious, and even wanted to go out to see the situation in person......
"What the hell is going on, the North Hall Master hasn't come back yet?" Dong Xun asked urgently at his subordinates as he walked out of the stronghold cave.
"Back to the hall master, the north hall master should still be filling in the dungeon, please wait patiently......" his subordinates always said the same thing.
"Isn't it just to fill the dungeon? dispose of the corpse and plug the hole entrance again, why did it take so much effort?......" Dongxun couldn't help but nag, "Could it be that something happened to that guy and he couldn't come back for a while......"
"Probably not......," the subordinate continued, "Didn't you say that the two of them fled back to Kurong Town, the East Hall Master?" now that our current enemy is only the woman of the 'Qiyu Sect', and the North Hall Master will not meet with her, how can something happen......
"I'm afraid it's not likely, right? If those two women didn't flee back to Kurong Town...... Dongxun reacted at this time, remembering that before he left, Bei Pheasant had spoken to him......
(in recall)......
After executing the prisoners who were useless to him, Dongxun walked out of the dungeon again, and then ordered his subordinates: "Find a few people to dispose of the corpses, and then seal the entrance of the cave with soil, I am afraid that this dungeon will no longer be of use value in the future......" Dongxun's tone was relatively low, and it seemed that he was still unwilling to accept Qi Xueyin's escape.
"Big brother, what should we do now?" After instructing his subordinates, the northern pheasant turned around and asked.
"Those two women escaped, most of them will hide in Kurong Town or flee back to Dadu......" Dongxun thought for a while, and then ordered, "Pass the order, strengthen the guard in the town, and never let those two women escape from Kurong Town!"
"Yes, big brother......" The northern pheasant just replied simply, but it seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but ask silently, "But big brother, those two women escaped, will they really go back to Kurong Town?"
"Otherwise, where else can I go, continue to stay here and wait for us to arrest me?" Dong Xun said in a retortive voice, "That woman from the 'Qiyu Sect' was poisoned, and it is impossible to run too far in a short period of time, let alone want to continue to stay here and wait for the opportunity to fight back......"
"But it's still ......" The pheasant seemed to have been worried about something, and he couldn't rest assured for a long time.
"Okay, no need to say more-" However, before Bei Pheasant finished speaking, Dong Xun directly refused, "Anyway, I'll go back to the stronghold first to arrange people, you and your subordinates will deal with the matter here, come back and make peace with me first, and then we will go to Kurong Town together to lay a net, and we will never let that woman escape a second time!"
"Yes, big brother......" The northern pheasant didn't say anything more, and silently agreed......
(In reality)......
"At that time, the master of the North Hall hesitated, where did the two women go...... Dong Xun couldn't help but think silently, "If those two women didn't return to Kurong Town, then where would they go?......
"Hall Master-" However, while Dongxun was hesitating, a disciple of the "Canghuan Sect" ran back halfway from the direction of the dungeon, and it seemed that there was information to tell him.
"You are a subordinate of the North Hall Master...... Why are you the only one coming back?Tell me, what's going on with the North Hall Master—" Dong Xun asked impatiently.
"The North Hall Master asked the villain to come back and tell the East Hall Master, and the North Hall Master has already rushed to the North Mountain with his subordinates—" The Canghuan Sect disciple said eagerly.
"Beishan ?!——" Hearing this, Dongxun seemed to suddenly realize, and his expression was stunned.
"The North Hall Master also said, let the East Hall Master take the main force and rush to the North Mountain to meet him-" The Canghuan Sect disciple continued to report.
"Beishan, that place is a place where his officials gather, and the Beitang Master can think of it......" Dongxun pondered a few words alone, and said secretly in his heart, "In this way, when they were in the dungeon, those two women must have gotten information from those officials, so they didn't go back to Kurong Town, but more likely went to Beishan, in order to get more information or find someone...... Especially the woman of the 'Qiyu Sect', she won't stop if she doesn't pursue it to the end in her bones - this is an opportunity, I will definitely not let her run away again this time!"
Immediately, Dongxun immediately ordered his subordinates: "Pass the order, gather all the horses, and rush to Beishan to make peace with the master of the North Hall——"
"Yes—" The disciples received the order, so they gathered their troops and prepared to rush to Beishan with Dongxun......
