The Southern Han Dynasty lost the natural danger, and it was only a matter of time before the Xingwang Mansion fell. Xiao Han's heart was chaotic, how could he still have the heart to participate in the battle, and after arranging everything, he immediately led the people of the Vermilion Bird Hall to turn around and head east.

After he left, Du Zhen commanded all the troops to advance at the same time, and successively captured Xiongzhou, Zhaozhou, Chenzhou, Guiyang, Puzhou, Guizhou, Rongzhou, Shaozhou, Lianzhou, Jingzhou, Xunzhou and other more than a dozen state capitals, and the report of victory flew to Jinling like snowflakes.

The Ministry of Defense of the Southern Tang Dynasty was overjoyed and hurriedly presented Li Congshan. Li Congshan was greatly excited, and immediately issued an edict to praise the soldiers who went out on the expedition, and at the same time issued an edict to the Protocol Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prepare for the ceremony of worshiping the heavens and ancestors, and the Marshal Du Zhen of the Jin Dynasty was a baron, and he was a hundred households, and Xiao Han, the chief of staff of the three armies, was appointed as Ping Nanbo, and 300 households were sealed, and the protocol department was ordered to prepare for the wedding of the horse and the princess, and the Ministry of Finance was ordered to allocate 100,000 taels of silver to reward the Wudang faction.

These Xiao Han naturally didn't know anything, he led a group of people to Putuo Mountain day and night, just on the island, he saw two Buddhist disciples guarding the ferry, saw everyone stunned at first, and then their faces changed greatly, and they hurriedly ran over to see Xiao Han.

Xiao Han recognized that these two disciples were the disciples of Master Xingguang of Puji Temple, and seeing that the two of them looked serious, his heart suddenly sank, and without asking about the situation of the two, he pulled his legs and ran towards the place where Wudang was stationed.

The two hurriedly followed, followed Xiao Han closely, and introduced the situation of Putuo Mountain against the White Lotus Sect on the way, explaining the situation, everything was just as Wang Tianze said, the White Lotus Sect raided the Wudang faction at night, and everyone didn't know, and the next day they knew that the Wudang faction was slaughtered, and all the members died.

Not only that, but Feng Tianbao, who was guarding the Wudang faction, was also wiped out, all the disciples in the gang died, and the main hall of the Wudang faction was burned down, and the fire burned for three hours before it was extinguished by the joint efforts of all factions in Putuo Mountain. Master Xingguang sent his disciples to search the entire Putuo Mountain, and those White Lotus Sect disciples had fled overnight, leaving no traces.

Master Xingguang knew that the chaos was big, and immediately ordered someone to report to Master Xingkong of Shaolin Temple. They are far away at sea, although they know that the rivers and lakes have changed, but they don't know that Xiao Han has become the head of the sect. The temples and nunnery on the island presided over the discussion for a long time, and in order to protect their own safety, they also sent disciples to inform Wudang Mountain to know.

Although they could expect that Xiao Han would come to take revenge, they didn't expect it to come so quickly, and immediately gathered at the old site of the Wudang faction after hearing the news.

Xiao Han had already led all the disciples of the Vermilion Bird Hall to inspect the ruins, and under the leadership of the two disciples, he went to the tomb of Li Yuexuan and others to pay silent respects.

After his Wudang faction grew, whether he admitted it or not, Xiao Han still snubbed these old brothers. At that time, Li Yuexuan mentioned that he wanted to go to Putuo Mountain to guard the Wudang Palace, Xiao Han was very happy at the time, but now it seems that he hurt them.

Li Yuexuan, Ye Tianjie, Li Guanwu, Tian Chengzhi, Ye Qingshu, Ye Fei and other thirteen disciples, except for Ye Zixuan, Hao Yufei, and Wan Shicheng, all died, which made Xiao Han's heart like a knife. Standing in front of everyone's graves, Xiao Han's tears were like rain, Li Yueying, Murong Qiuyu, Chai Xinyue, Wudang Qizi, and Su Ruotong were all solemn-faced, and there were more than a hundred solemn-faced Suzaku Hall disciples lined up neatly behind them.

The hosts of the temples and nunnery in Putuo Mountain brought people to come one after another, and saw that Xiao Han was paying silent tribute, and stood quietly and silently one by one. It wasn't until Xiao Han wiped away his tears and thanked the two disciples who led the way, that he turned around and bowed down to Master Xingguang and said, "Thank you for helping to collect the remains of the disciples of this sect, Xiao Han is grateful to his heart, and he will repay you for your kindness from now on." ”

Everyone was humble for a while, and said "don't dare", Xiao Han's eyes slowly became cold, and he said to Master Xingguang: "Where is Brother Feng's body buried, can you take me over to worship?" Master Xingguang put his palms together and said: "Feng Tianbao's body was collected and buried by the disciples of our temple and buried on the barren slope one mile away from here, along with nearly a hundred disciples under him. ”

Xiao Han said in a hoarse voice: "Do you know how many people have come from the White Lotus Sect?" Master Xingguang shook his head and said: "At that time, it was the time of the child, the whole island was silent, and the Wudang faction was far away from the temples, and when we found out, the Wudang Hall was already on fire, and the old man brought people to come, and the entire Wudang Hall had become a Shura Hell, all of Feng Tianbao's subordinates were killed, and Hall Master Li, Hall Master Ye and others were all killed by a sword piercing the heart, and we collected nine people and buried them here." ”

Xiao Han's heart jumped suddenly, his eyes widened, and he said, "What did you say? How many people are here?" I was too sad just now, and I didn't count the number of graves at all, but then I calmed down and checked roughly, and sure enough, there were only nine people.

At that time, there were a total of thirteen people when they went out of Jiuhua Mountain, and now Ye, Hao, and Wan stayed in the headquarters of Wudang Mountain, and there were ten people who went to sea with Li Yuexuan, but now there are only nine tombs, and there is obviously one person missing.

Master Xingguang didn't expect him to ask like this, and immediately frowned and said, "We cleaned up the ruins and only found nine corpses, is there something wrong?" A disciple of Puji Temple suddenly shouted: "There are nine people under Hall Master Li, and there is one less here." ”

Xiao Han was suspicious in his heart, and tried to suppress his inner emotions to send everyone away, and his face immediately turned pale. Zhuang Tianyou followed and said cautiously: "Could there be any conspiracy here?" Murong Qiuyu followed: "How could there be one less person?

Li Yueying said: "Didn't you say that there is a secret passage leading to the sea after the Wudang Palace? A word reminded the dreamer, Xiao Han said "ah", and ran towards the collapsed hall.

Under the command of Zhuang Tianyou, the disciples of the Vermilion Bird Hall cleaned up the hall that had been burned to ruins, revealing the hole where the stone slabs were hidden. Zhuang Tianyou turned around to look at Xiao Han, and Xiao Han nodded slightly. Zhuang Tianyou took a lighter out and lit a wooden stick, and took the lead in walking. Except for the ten disciples who were guarding outside, the rest of the people went down to the cave in turn.

After walking for half an hour, a glimmer of light appeared in front of him, and Zhuang Tianyou pushed aside the miscellaneous wood vines that blocked the entrance of the cave and said, "Be careful with the head and the ladies, it's too slippery here." ”

Xiao Han agreed, and led Li Yueying and the three of them to slowly walk out of the hole, and sure enough, there was the coast below, the waves crashed on the shore, the white waves were surging, and there were seagulls flying in the sky.

Xiao Han snorted lightly in his nose and said, "Sure enough, there are internal thieves." Li Yueying said strangely: "Who is the thief? Could it be that someone really colluded with the White Lotus Sect?" Murong Qiuyu said: "The spare boat parked here is gone, it must be that the thief escaped by boat overnight after reporting the news, and now Hall Master Li and the others have died tragically, and the corpses have also been burned, so I can't see which one is missing, but it is a little troublesome." ”

Chai Xinyue said with tears in her eyes: "If I knew this, I should have let them stay on Wudang Mountain." Xiao Han was silent, his heart full of guilt.

Zhuang Tianyou said in a deep voice: "Since Wang Tianze and they know about this, it shows that they have already colluded with the White Lotus Sect, and they belong to Shi Chuyang's command, then it means that Shi Chuyang is colluding with the White Lotus Sect, this traitor has always been with Li Tang Master and them, how can they have the opportunity to contact the White Lotus Sect, it must be him who colluded with Shi Chuyang, and Shi Chuyang revealed information to the White Lotus Sect, so that there will be today's tragedy." ”

This analysis is also reasonable, before Xiao Han could speak, Li Yueying had already shook his head and said: "Brother Zhuang is not right, that thief is in Putuo Mountain, how can he report to Shi Chuyang to know?"

This was also asked to the point, and Murong Qiuyu followed: "Sister is right, if this thief has been staying in Putuo Mountain, and Shi Chuyang is in the Central Plains, and the two places are thousands of miles apart, how can he pass on the news?"

Xiao Han didn't expect Li Yueying to become so smart, and just as he was about to say a word of praise, he saw a left-behind disciple hurrying over, holding a piece of jade pendant in his hand and saying, "This is what the brothers found in the apse just now, it seems to be Minister Wan's thing." ”

Xiao Han's heart jumped, and he immediately took it, and sure enough, he found that it was a personal jade talisman that was inseparable from everything. This jade talisman resembles a wolf's tooth, and it is engraved with a traditional "10,000" character with a small gold seal, which has always been a landmark token of everything, and he has never seen him give it to others, how can it appear here?

Could it be that Wan Shicheng is a traitor, and that he betrayed these old brothers of Putuo Mountain? But according to what I have learned in the past few years, Wan Shicheng is very open-minded in doing things, and he is also loyal to the Wudang faction, and he has never shown the slightest dissatisfaction, and he has never had any private contact with outsiders, how is this possible?

Murong Qiuyu naturally recognized this jade talisman, and his eyes were also full of doubts, and he hesitated: "Old Man Wan has always been fair, it is absolutely impossible for him to be a traitor, but his jade talisman has always been with him, how can he appear here? This thing is a bit strange." ”

Chai Xinyue said suddenly: "Uncle Wan is a nostalgic person, and now he is in charge of the garment factory, he must want to take care of these old brothers, so he sent someone to take things to Putuo Mountain, in order to win the trust of everyone, he took his jade talisman as proof." ”

Everyone nodded and shook their heads together. Chai Xinyue said softly: "I'm just guessing, whether it's true or false has to be confirmed." There is also a speculation that Uncle Wan took his jade talisman as a token, and Hall Master Li sent someone to Tokyo to pick up money and goods for delivery. Because Uncle Wan was usually busy, he was afraid that he would not find anyone for a while, so he gave the jade talisman to someone. ”

This explanation is quite reliable, Xiao Han said with a dark face: "You mean that we need to find out who is usually responsible for liaising with Minister Wan, so this person must be a traitor, right?"

Li Yueying hurriedly said: "This is not simple, let's go back to Tokyo immediately to find Uncle Wan and ask clearly, isn't it?" Murong Qiuyu shook his head and said: "Even if we know who he is now, he has already escaped and disappeared, how can we find it easily?"

Xiao Han said gloomily: "No matter who he is, as long as he is still in this world, I will never let him live." ”

Bai Haoming suddenly came over and glanced at everyone, and then cautiously glanced at Xiao Han, who had a black face, and said with a shrunken neck: "Master, I don't know if I should say something when I think of it?"

Li Yueying kicked him on the ass angrily and said, "If you have something to say, don't you see that we are annoying?" Bai Haoming covered his ass with a bitter face and wrinkled: "That year's Tokyo competition, Old Man Sima and Uncle Chu were scared away, guess who I saw in Tokyo?"

Seeing that Li Yueying was about to raise her leg again, Bai Haoming hurriedly retreated and said, "Master, don't worry, I said I said, I saw Ye Qingshu Brother Ye." ”
