After He Xunyi left, he came to a desolate and barren land alone - this place had been devastated by the war, and now it was very chilling to see the ruins and broken walls, corpses and bones everywhere.

However, He Xunyi didn't seem to be sad at all, but smiled and said: "Hmph, wait for the Mengyuan thief, a hundred years ago to destroy my Song family, and now I have raised a righteous army to overthrow the tyranny." These desolations in front of you should be regarded as a temporary 'first gift' to you, wait, I, He Xunyi, will definitely expel the thieves and achieve hegemony!"

"Heh, I didn't expect Sect Master He to have a lot of heart, and he was here alone to express his sigh......" Who knew that while sighing, a voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"Who is it?" He Xunyi looked sideways, but saw the old man in plain clothes standing on top of the ruins, looking at him with a cold smile.

"Sect Leader He doesn't know the old man? It's no wonder that when you waited for the 'Mingfu Sect' riot five years ago, you Sect Leader He didn't show ......up," the old man smiled slightly, and then said, "The first time we met, in Xia Taishi Hansheng, the sect leader of the 'Qiyu Sect' in Beishan......"

"Oh, it turns out that you are the Taishi Sect Master......" He Xunyi smiled back coldly as if he held a grudge, "Five years ago, it was you who led the troops of the Chatai family to suppress our uprising......"

"Uprising? Hmph, Sect Master He really dares to say it......" Tai Shi Hansheng smiled coldly, then looked at each other and said, "The places where you pass are full of corpses, and most of the people are struggling to make a living, what kind of 'uprising' is this?"

"It's better than you dog thieves who don't remember shame and are attached to the Mengyuan Imperial Court-" He Xunyi was also unceremonious in the face of Taishi Hansheng, and said with a smile, "But I don't know if the Taishi Sect Master has the heart today, what did he do when he came to my 'Mingfu Sect' stronghold......?"

"That's not true, the old man is here today, just to entrust a word......" Tai Shi Hansheng said unhurriedly.

"Entrust me?" He Xunyi asked in a rhetorical voice.

"The old man wants to say that now that the king of Chatai and the father and son of Chatai Dordun have died, and the rest of the sect is rampant, the old man should be following the example of five years ago and leading the army to suppress you......" Taishi Hansheng said bluntly, "It's just that this time you have made too much trouble, I'm afraid the old man will have to personally lead the imperial forbidden ......army."

"In this way, I came to make a war post to the sect master, right......" When He Xunyi heard this, he heard the provocation, and couldn't help but ask in a cold voice.

"It's not all...... Tai Shi Hansheng said, pulling out something from his waist and throwing it to He Xunyi.

That thing was nothing else, it was the same thing Bu Tianxing and Zuo Ziyou received, the totem fragment of the "Jiang Clan".

"What is this?" He Xunyi asked, taking the fragment and playing with it in his hand.

"The 'gift' given to Sect Master He before the war......" Taishi Hansheng continued to laugh, "It's not just you, I also gave this thing to other people......

"What is the use of the Taishi Sect Master sending me this?" He Xunyi continued to ask.

"It's useless now, but it can be useful in the future......" Taishi Hansheng got up slightly, and then sneered, "Today, it will be the first meeting between the old man and Sect Master He, so as to realize the wish of five years ago - after today's farewell, you and I will be enemies on the battlefield, and the old man will not show mercy to you 'Mingfu Sect' at that time......"

"Hmph, I can't ask for it......" He Xunyi put away the fragments and replied with a sneer......

After a short meeting, Taishi Hansheng left this place with light skills, and He Xunyi also accepted the "gift" given by the other party and returned to the stronghold alone......

The situation in most of the capital is turbulent, but at this time, on the side of Kurong Town, the rhythm is very slow. Qi Xueyin and Du Juan have been in the town for more than ten days without encountering any emergencies, and Qi Xueyin has found an errand to take care of the horses, taking her horse "Lieyun" with her, and taking care of the stables with nothing to do.

Du Juan still found a job in embroidery and needlework nearby, as at the beginning, which can be regarded as earning some living expenses, enough for the sisters' daily expenses.

However, although Qi Xueyin was leisurely, Du Juan didn't think so, thinking that the purpose of the two of them coming here was to investigate the clues about the truth about Du Juan's father. But more than ten days have passed, and there seems to be no progress in the investigation, not to mention that there are any "Canghuan Sect" people haunting, even Qi Xueyin herself seems to be immersed in this kind of "comfortable and enjoyable" life, and has no intention of taking the initiative to investigate......

Finally, on this day, the cuckoo couldn't stand it anymore, and after finishing his work, he went straight to the stable......

"La-la-la-la...... "......At this moment, Qi Xueyin was brushing the horse's back at the stable, humming a little song, as if she was in a happy mood, relaxed and leisurely for more than ten days, and she had not been so "at ease" for a long time.

Who would have thought that the cuckoo limped over on the opposite side, and stepped forward and couldn't help asking, "Hey, Sister Qi, has the matter been settled?"

"Of course, after finishing today, the boss will be able to pay the salary......" Qi Xueyin didn't seem to care about Du Juan's expression, and did the rough work with a disdainful face, and replied casually.

"Hey, I didn't ask about this ......" Du Juan said impatiently, looking at Qi Xueyin's indifferent appearance, snatched the brush from his hand, and said, "Okay, stop working, I'm asking about business-"

"Ouch, what's the matter, can't you wait until you're done to talk about it?" Qi Xueyin still had an expression of "it doesn't matter" and replied casually.

"Work hard, you know how to work, in the dart game, your head is really stupid by Brother Yun, isn't it?"

"Okay, okay, I know what you're going to ask......" Qi Xueyin couldn't stand it anymore, and didn't want to hear Sun Yun's name, so she turned around and said, "You come to ask me a few times every once in a while, and you're almost tired of hearing it......" As she spoke, Qi Xueyin couldn't help but pluck her ears.

"Is my father's business settled?" Du Juan asked anxiously, "It's been more than ten days, and there has been no progress at all, so I see you working here every day, and you don't take it seriously at all......"

"Hey, you haven't seen what I do on weekdays, how do you know that I don't take it seriously?" Qi Xueyin was a little "unconvinced", and asked rhetorically.

"Then you say, since we came here for more than ten days, what have you done about investigating my father?" As soon as he mentioned the matter about his father, Du Juan couldn't help but "angry" and said.

"Okay, okay, can't I tell you......" Qi Xueyin shook her head a little helplessly, then sat on the edge of the stable, and said slowly, "Isn't this your father an official of Bianliang at the beginning, if you want to have an intersection with the people of the 'Canghuan Sect', it must also be related to the officials of the imperial court...... When we first came here, Cha Taiyun had already found clues, and all the subordinate officials of the 'Canghuan Sect' would talk to each other in official language and gestures here......

"Well, then what?" the cuckoo nodded, and then continued.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet...... Qi Xueyin raised her foot and continued to follow closely, "Although I don't understand their gesture communication, I still recognize their appearance...... No, on the way to fetch forage for the past ten days, I wandered around some important places in the town, and I really found traces of a few officials, who kept exchanging words, and it seemed that there had been some recent movements......"

"What about after you found out?" asked the cuckoo, still anxious.

"In the end, I found out that the place where they haunted the most was the restaurant where we were 'in distress' last time...... Qi Xueyin continued, "It seems that that place is really a stronghold of theirs, and I have made many inquiries and can see that they will pass on the news there in two or three days, and then leave...... I found it again yesterday, and I was going to go and see it in two days, but who would have thought that sister, you would be in such a hurry to ask me this and ask me that ...... today."

"That's so......" the cuckoo said in a low voice.

"Clues, you have to take your time step by step, if you are in too much of a hurry, let alone investigate and track, you will be surprised if you don't do it-" Qi Xueyin continued, "What's more, we have fought with the people of the 'Canghuan Sect', although the two of us have changed our outfits, we can't rule out the risk of being recognized......"

"After those two days, Sister Qi, are you going to go to that restaurant again to inquire about the situation?" Du Juan continued to ask.

"Of course...... Qi Xueyin raised her head and said, "Seeing that their gang has been haunting quite frequently recently, it feels like something big has happened, and if you go to find out the news in two days, you should have a harvest......

"After those two days, I'll go with you, Sister Qi?" said Du Juan with a little "longing".

"That's not good, the task of investigation and tracking is very dangerous, your legs and feet are inconvenient and it is easy to expose the target, I'm afraid it will ......" Qi Xueyin seemed to want to refuse.

"But I really want to...... I really want to see my dad soon......" The cuckoo said here, and couldn't help but let out some tears.

"Okay, okay, okay, can't I take you there?......" Qi Xueyin couldn't see the cuckoo crying on the side again, knowing that she was eager to see her father, she simply agreed, "Two days later, I'll take you there, your legs and feet are inconvenient, we'd better set off early...... But let's say it first, if there is any situation or clue at that time, I will deal with the rest alone, and you can't come along-"

"Okay, two days later, I'll listen to Sister Qi for everything—" Seeing that Qi Xueyin finally agreed, Du Juan nodded with a smile......

Two days later, in the early morning, in the alley at the entrance of the inn restaurant, Qi Xueyin and Du Juan sat on the stall on the side of the alley, and they could glimpse everything in front of the inn at a glance......

"We ...... Is it necessary to come so early?......" Qi Xueyin put on a robe, looked at the few figures around the street, and couldn't help but joke, "Isn't it too early......

"Didn't Sister Qi say it, did you come early......" Du Juan seemed to be very energetic, staring intently at the door of the inn, and bowed his head in response.

"Then it's also troublesome to look at the time of day - no matter how capable people are, they haven't gotten up yet, okay?" ......Qi Xueyin couldn't help but tease, and yawned and said, "Besides, I was obviously pulled up by you, I knew that there was no one on the street, so I might as well go back and sleep...... Uhhh

"I don't care, I said that I would show up in two days, so it could be ...... at any time today" The cuckoo was still full of energy, and said in a heartfelt manner, "I'll just sit here today and stare at it to see when they will appear?"

"Hey, hey, I never said that they would definitely show up today...... Qi Xueyin listened, and couldn't help but droop and said, "If they don't come today, won't you work in vain?"

"Sister Qi, you said that the 'Canghuan Sect' is likely to have a big event recently, so there is a high probability that it will appear, and I must guard them to appear-" Du Juan still didn't give up, and comforted me with love in his heart.

"Even if I find out, it has nothing to do with you, I said it earlier anyway, if there is anything, it is also something that I follow alone......" Qi Xueyin looked at Du Juan's "unforgiving" appearance, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you watch alone, I have to take a rest...... Shopkeeper, serve me a pot of hot tea-" Qi Xueyin still has time to call for tea to drink.

"Okay-" The shopkeeper was also enthusiastic, after all, there were guests and business early in the morning, of course, except for Qi Xueyin and Du Juan, there was no one......

Du Juan is sure that the people of the "Canghuan Sect" will definitely appear today, and the result is ......

After noon......

"Oh, why haven't people come yet......" The cuckoo was so tired that he lay on the table and drooped and said, "I'm so tired, I really want to sleep......"

"Who told you to get up so early, and you still stared at ?......the door early in the morning," Qi Xueyin teased, drank the tea in the cup, and couldn't help laughing, "I drank two pots of tea in the morning...... I told you earlier, no matter how clever their gang is, they won't choose to come out and meet at such an early time, you still don't believe it......"

"No, I can't stand it anymore, I'm going back to sleep......" The cuckoo couldn't hold it back, and stood up in a daze, ready to go back to his place to sleep.

"Then you go, I'll continue to keep an eye on it for you......" Qi Xueyin rested for a while, but she was much more energetic at this time......

However, after casually teasing a few words, a few people wearing official boots suddenly came to the door of the inn......

"Huh?" Qi Xueyin's eyes were very sharp, as if she had discovered something all of a sudden, and after saying a suspicious word, she pulled the cuckoo who was about to go back, and whispered, "There is, it's those guys......"

"Well, where is ?——" When the cuckoo heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, turned around and kept asking.

"Shhh......hhh

"They are the people of the 'Canghuan Sect', and they have something to do with my father?......" Du Juan also deliberately lowered his body and asked.

"I think eighty percent is ......" Qi Xueyin moved, got up and whispered, "I'll go to the inn to follow them first, you stay here and don't move, and I'll give you a response gesture when I come out......"

"Hmm......" Du Juan nodded, and then watched Qi Xueyin leave......
