Chapter 438: Identity Suspicion (I)
After resting in the cave for the night, the next day, the group set foot on the journey back to Yixian Gate again......
"Are you saying that during the time I was in a coma, Sister Hongyun had been protecting me?" Along the way, Fang Ying kept asking Huang Ji and Canglong about what happened after she fell unconscious yesterday.
Huang Ji responded: "Yes, yesterday on the broken bridge, the people of the Ghost King Division did not fall into the trap, just after you passed out, the bridge was blown up, and you and the Red Cloud Girl fell off the cliff ......"
"I'm still safe and sound...... Fang Ying thought about yesterday's events, she was a little creepy when she heard it, and she had to faint because of her, otherwise she might be scared half to death, "Then ...... Is Sister Hongyun okay?"
"I'm fine...... Hongyun replied softly from behind.
"Miss Hongyun is really powerful, she carried you all the way to escape the pursuit of the Ghost King's men, and walked a long way...... Huang Ji continued.
"Then how did Sister Hongyun and I escape later?" Fang Ying continued to ask, "Brother Huang Ji, you and Brother Canglong are not around......
"I'm afraid that in that room last night, some mysterious master helped you kill those Ghost King Master's subordinates...... Is it, Miss Red Cloud?" Huang Ji asked the Red Cloud behind him again.
"Ah...... Huh?" Hongyun replied in a distracted voice, not wanting to tell the truth immediately, and said softly, "I ...... I don't know very well, I just remember that I helped Yingmei decoction medicine, and then the people from the Ghost King Master came, and I was also scared...... By the time I woke up, it was ...... Those people have already died. I had no choice but to carry Ying Mei to the entrance of the cave......" Hongyun said hesitantly, she seemed to be deliberately concealing the truth and concealing her identity.
However, Canglong, who was silent, had been observing Hongyun's expression, and he had a strong instinct - the person who killed those black-clothed assassins yesterday was Hongyun......
"Either way, we must find a chance to thank the mysterious man who saved us, don't you say. Sister Hongyun?" Fang Ying asked Hongyun behind him with a smile again. Although the body has not fully recovered. But Fang Ying is still as lively and innocent as usual.
"Ahh......h
"By the way, Brother Huang Ji, how did you find us yesterday?" Fang Ying asked again.
Huang Ji touched Nini's head. Said with a smile: "This time it's thanks to Nini." If she hadn't been able to smell you and Miss Red Cloud. I'm afraid we don't even know if you're alive or dead......"
"Huh-" Nini looked up and smiled at Huang Ji and Fang Ying, at this time, she was much more relaxed and happy than yesterday's nervousness.
"Really? Thank you, I'll treat you well for the rest of my life—" As she spoke, Fang Ying put her arms around Nini's neck.
Canglong looked at Fang Ying's innocence and liveliness in the past, and he relaxed a lot, although he still didn't know about Hongyun's identity and purpose, but Fang Ying was safe and sound, and he could rest assured for the time being.
"By the way, Uncle Hip-Hop, why aren't they with Brother Huang Ji?" Fang Ying didn't see the figure of the "Three Hip-Hop Brothers", so she asked again.
"Yes, I almost forgot about ......" Huang Ji then remembered that he and Canglong had left the "Three Hip Hop Brothers" on the broken bridge, "The three of them are still on the broken bridge, because they were injured, so they didn't come with us to ......"
"Huh......? What should I do then?" Fang Ying said a little worriedly.
"Don't worry, they're just a little injured, they also said they're okay before, let's come over to find your whereabouts first......" Huang Ji continued, "Anyway, the ghost king's conspiracy failed, we will escort Ying'er back to the mountain safely, those guys won't make things difficult for the 'hip-hop brothers'...... Let's go back to Yixianmen first, if the three of them know the way to Yixianmen, they should also come slowly, Ying'er, you don't have to worry-"
"That's the case...... Fang Ying muttered softly, but reuniting with Huang Ji and Canglong, he was still very happy overall, at least he could be sure that he had experienced the threshold of life and death yesterday, and everyone was safe today, which was better than anything else......
The group walked all morning, and they didn't encounter any difficulties and obstacles, Huang Ji still took care of Fang Ying as usual, while talking and chatting with her. Hongyun followed silently, looking at Fang Ying's happy appearance, she was already very satisfied. Only there are some abnormalities, naturally it belongs to Canglong, all the way today, he didn't say a word, and his attention was not completely focused on Fang Ying. He was already sure that there was no mysterious master at all about last night's incident, and the killing of the black-clothed assassin was all from the hands of Hongyun. Canglong stared at Hongyun intently, and said secretly in his heart: "Why did she deliberately hide the truth, from the time I knew her to the present...... Also, the matter of escorting Ying Mei has nothing to do with her, why has she been with us, and what is the purpose? Although she saved Ying Mei last night, we have to thank her, but her identity and purpose are unknown, I still can't take it lightly......
The group climbed over a hill and walked to a more secluded jungle. It's sparsely populated, but it's beautiful. Now it is early spring, and the forest is full of life, covered with green trees and grass, like sea waves, which makes people feel refreshed and happy......
Huang Ji walked in the front, smiled and said to Fang Ying: "Ying'er, where do you guess we are?"
Fang Ying had never been here before, and asked back in confusion: "How do I know where it is?" After coming out of the ancient tomb, this is the first time I have gone far away......
Huang Ji smiled again and continued: "Then I'll tell you good news, go ahead, it's the mountain of Yixian Gate, Sister Ying, you're almost home-"
"Really?" Fang Ying heard and shouted excitedly, "Hehe, great, I can finally go home, go home and see my father, there are many, many ......"
After going through hardships and dangers along the way, life and death, the group finally sent Fang Ying back to Yixian Gate safely. Seeing Fang Ying's happy appearance, Huang Ji also smiled with satisfaction.
Fang Ying was excited for a while. Her expression suddenly became a little sad again, she looked at the mountain in front of her, which was her home, and sighed and said, "Eighteen years—I heard my master say that within a few months of my birth, Master took me away from my father, and then I stayed in the Zhongnan Ancient Tomb and did not return home for eighteen years...... My mother passed away when I was born, and for eighteen years, I'm afraid my father is the same as me, and has tasted the pain of lovesickness for eighteen years, but I'm a daughter. but failed to fulfill his filial piety......"
Huang Ji listened to Fang Ying's slightly sad words. Then he comforted and said: "It's okay Ying'er, I think your father misses you more, after all, the senior of Fang, the head of Fang, must have missed Ying'er all the time in the past eighteen years." As long as you return to your father safely. I guess it's better than anything else......"
"You're right. Brother Huang Ji. It's a good thing to be able to go home, why should I be sad?" Fang Ying listened to Huang Ji's words and retracted her sad expression. A relieved smile was revealed.
Canglong and Hongyun were happy to see Fang Ying returning home, and it seemed that they were also a little touched, revealing extremely relieved eyes.
"By the way, Brother Huang Ji ......" Fang Ying continued to ask, "Listen to my master, my father is not only the head of the Yixian Sect, but also one of the Seven Heroes of the Martial Arts today?"
Huang Ji replied with a smile: "Yes, your father Fang Zhongtian is the head of the Seven Heroes of the Martial Arts, when you were taken away by the predecessors of Lan Gu, you shocked the whole martial arts ...... But now that you're back, you'll be safe and sound......"
"I don't care about anything in the martial arts, as long as I can go home, see my father, and be with you, I will be very satisfied-" Fang Ying's thoughts are simple, she never worries about fame and fortune in the world, she just hopes to be happy every day.
"Ying'er ......" Looking at Fang Ying's simple and happy expression, Huang Ji also smiled with satisfaction, looking at the green mountains in the distance, Huang Ji continued, "I said that I was home, but in fact, I had to go over this mountain." When I get down the mountain, I'm afraid it's getting late...... I only know the way, and I've never been to Yixianmen, so if you want to go up the mountain in the dark, I'm afraid it's not very convenient...... I guess we'll have to spend the night at the bottom of the mountain tonight......"
"It's okay, it's not far from home anyway, and the people of the Ghost King Master don't dare to come again, so there's no need to hurry......" Fang Ying, who was full of joy now, was thinking about all the beautiful things in her heart.
"Okay, since Ying'er doesn't mind, then let's go down the mountain first and find a place to stay......" Huang Ji said, "There should be some families at the foot of the mountain, if we are lucky, maybe we can stay overnight......"
Fang Ying thought about being happy, but it didn't take long for her stomach to grow. Fang Ying touched her head and smiled embarrassedly: "I was faint for a day yesterday, and I haven't eaten much, I think we should eat first and then go down the mountain......
Huang Ji smiled and replied: "It's okay, I know that there is a clear spring in this mountain, I'll go get some water later." ”
"I'll go with you, Brother Huang Ji-" Fang Ying said with a smile again, "I slept for so long yesterday, and today is just the time to go over the mountain." ”
"Okay, then you can fetch water later, and I'll be responsible for carrying the water-" Huang Ji also responded with a smile, and he was also very happy with Fang Ying.
"I'll go with you too......" Hongyun said as he followed.
However, Fang Ying looked back and smiled: "Sister Hongyun, you carried me on your back yesterday to drive such a long way, which can be regarded as hard enough. Usually you take care of me and do a lot of rough work, so today you can have a good rest, and I will go to fetch water for you. ”
"Brother Canglong, what about you?" Huang Ji looked at Canglong, who was speechless today, and asked in a voice.
"It's good if I stay......" Canglong said calmly, "I don't feel at ease if I leave Miss Hongyun here alone." You two have to be careful, we're waiting for you here......"
"Alright then, you're just waiting here for us to come back—" Huang Ji responded.
So, Huang Ji took Fang Ying along the way down the mountain on one side to find Qingquan, while Canglong and Hongyun stayed where they were, waiting quietly......
Hongyun was packing his belongings on the spot, preparing the props for cooking later, while Canglong sat quietly with his eyes closed, not saying anything.
After a while, Canglong slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and looked at the back of Hongyun who was working on one side, and couldn't take his eyes off it. Hongyun also noticed it here, she slowly raised her head, looked back at Canglong's mysterious eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Canglong." What's wrong with you?"
"Who the hell are you?" Canglong asked directly to the point, his voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely firm.
"You...... What's wrong with you?" Hongyun also seemed to realize something, and asked with some slush.
"You deceived Sister Ying and Brother Huang Ji, but you can't fool me-" Canglong continued to speak righteously, "Those Ghost King Master's subordinates died at your hands last night, right...... What kind of person are you, pretending not to know martial arts, what is your purpose?"
Seeing that what he was worried about had happened, Hongyun still pretended to be serious and said, "You ...... What are you talking about. Brother Canglong. I'm Red Cloud, what happened last night really didn't ......"
"You're still quibbling! you-" Canglong was just about to reprimand Hongyun sharply, when suddenly a piercing pain surged into his body, causing him to pause for a moment.
It's puzzling. Red Cloud is also the same as Canglong. The two looked at each other. An indescribable heartache spreads all over the body, making people deeply confused but unable to extricate themselves.
"I ...... There really isn't a ......" Hongyun wanted to continue to hide it, but she didn't know why. So he concealed himself in front of Canglong, and the more he felt heartache, a heartache that could not be relieved.
The two looked at each other for a long time, Canglong wanted to know, knew the identity of Hongyun, knew the reason for his heartache, he looked directly at Hongyun, it seemed that he had found a trace of familiar eyes, that kind of sad eyes.
"Since...... Since you don't say it, then I'll force you to tell the truth-" As he spoke, Canglong endured the inexplicable heartache and raised his hand to gather his palm, ready to wave it towards Hongyun's face.
Hongyun was still insisting, and when he saw Canglong's palm wind coming, Hongyun covered it with his hands, pretending to be innocent, and made a scared look with his eyes closed......
At a distance of an inch in the palm of his hand, Canglong's hand still stopped...... Looking at Hongyun's frightened expression, Canglong couldn't bear to continue to attack, after all, Canglong was only guessing about what happened yesterday.
"Could it really be that I guessed wrong, Hongyun she ......" Canglong looked at Hongyun's scared weaker girl, and began to wonder if he was too worried.
Seeing that Canglong's hand stopped, Hongyun gradually opened his eyes, glanced at Canglong with strange eyes, and didn't dare to continue speaking.
Canglong looked at Hongyun like this, and he was a little unbearable, but his heart was full of contradictions: "I want to find out, why...... Why does my heart ache every time I see you, and I always want to understand...... Red Cloud girl, ...... the hell you?"
Canglong was confused, and the hand that raised his palm gradually loosened. Hongyun saw that there was no murderous aura in Canglong's eyes, and he temporarily put his mind at ease, and did not pay attention to it again, his eyes lowered slightly......
Canglong let go of his hand, and finally let go of his raised arm, and the moment his fingers slipped off, he accidentally touched Hongyun's face...... Suddenly, a chilling coldness dared to reach the palm of his hand - Canglong and Hongyun woke up at the same time, and their eyes also became nervous at the same time.
"Oh no—" Hongyun was shocked, and took advantage of Canglong's failure to react, and immediately returned a few steps.
"Your face ......" Canglong immediately changed his tone, he looked directly at the red cloud in front of him, and said bluntly, "Why is your face so cold, who are you?" This time, Canglong can be very sure that Hongyun "is not good".
Seeing that his disguise seemed to have been recognized, Hongyun took a dozen steps back in a row, looking at Canglong. She knew very well that if she followed Canglong again, her identity would be revealed sooner or later.
"Answer me quickly!" Canglong looked at Hongyun with a hostile gaze and said sharply, "Who are you sacred?
Hongyun touched his face, completely changed his tone and eyes, and said, "That's right, I hid my identity from you, but I was just forced to do it...... But what about you, Brother Canglong, aren't you the same, hiding your face under a cold mask......"
Canglong didn't want to go around the bend with her, seeing that Hongyun deliberately concealed his identity, he must have other plans, and he must correct Huang Ji and Fang Ying before they come back, so he continued: "Since you don't want to say it, then I will personally expose you!"
After saying that, Canglong flew out with an arrow step, raised his palm, and prepared to give Hongyun a fatal blow...... (To be continued......)
