Early morning.

The sleepy town gradually woke up, and the sky was overcast, shrouding the thousands of households in Longmen Town in gray, like a faint ink painting.

"Deyue Inn" is only a hundred steps away from "Jishitang Medical Center".

With Nangong Lancao's care, Shopkeeper Xie was really polite and arranged Zhao Yanhao in a sky-sized guest room.

Zhao Yanhao instructed a guy to help him boil medicine, and then lay quietly on the kang.

"Tuk Tuk!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Zhao Yanhao sat up.

To his surprise, it was not the guy who came in, but Shopkeeper Xie.

"Shopkeeper Xie, hello!" Zhao Yanhao got off the kang and smiled all over his face.

"You have a wound, lie down quickly!" the shopkeeper Xie ran over in three steps and two steps, and pressed him back.

Zhao Yanhao had to lie down, and he was very moved. It seems that he must have a very good relationship with Nangong Lancao, which is why he is so enthusiastic about himself, so he is grateful to Nangong Lancao.

Shopkeeper Xie stared at him, and suddenly asked softly, "Excuse me: Your surname is Zhao?"

"How do you know?" Zhao Yanhao was taken aback.

"Brother Zhao, don't be nervous, your own people!" "Shopkeeper Xie smiled: "I am also Master Miao's person!"

"Oh. Zhao Yanhao was skeptical, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence!"

"Who said it wasn't?" Xie returned the courtesy, "These injuries of yours were suffered from the night of Nangong Villa last night, right?"

Zhao Yanhao saw that he knew his details so well, and felt that there was no need to deny it, so he said calmly: "Yes." ”

"Why did the Lord only send a few of you here, isn't this a startling snake?" Shopkeeper Xie was puzzled and a little anxious.

Seeing his expression, Zhao Yanhao already believed eight points in his heart, and he was also worried about Shao Feng and his party, so he asked: "By the way, shopkeeper Xie, I don't know if you know my companions......"

"Don't worry, they have all evacuated safely!" Shopkeeper Xie waved his hand and said with a smile: "Not only that, they have sent back the good news, I believe that the adults will soon come over with a large group of people." ”

Zhao Yanhao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Zhao, did you send you after receiving the news I sent?"

Zhao Yanhao was almost completely convinced, nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

"Didn't I say in the letter that they would transfer the treasure immediately?" Shopkeeper Xie was puzzled, and continued to ask the question he had not yet answered: "Why didn't your lord hurry up and lead everyone here, but only send a few of you?"

After Zhao Yanhao briefly explained the reason, Shopkeeper Xie was relieved and nodded: "It's still thoughtful to adults." ”

The two were silent for a while, and Shopkeeper Xie suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Zhao, do you know who Nangong Lancao is?"

Zhao Yanhao shook his head and said, "I don't know." But he's a good man!"

"Yes, indeed. Shopkeeper Xie bowed his head, and his words changed, "However, he is the sixth brother of the owner of Nangong Village!"

"Huh?" Zhao Yanhao was shocked.

He had heard that there were many people surnamed Nangong in Longmen Town, so he was not surprised when he learned the name and surname of Nangong Lancao, and he never expected that the six owners of the dignified Nangong Villa would actually open a small medical center.

"Did he ask you about the details?"

"Asked. I'm not telling the truth, though. ”

"That's good!" Shopkeeper Xie just breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately became nervous again, "If he knows what happened in Nangong Villa last night, he will immediately suspect you." So, you're not safe. ”

"This ...... How can this be good?" Zhao Yanhao also became nervous.

Shopkeeper Xie pondered for a while and said, "It doesn't matter! I know all the people in Nangong Villa." As soon as they get close to the inn, I'll get you away in time!"

"I've caused you trouble!" Zhao Yanhao was grateful.

"Alas...... Your own people, you're welcome!" Shopkeeper Xie waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! I believe that in another hour at most, the adults will arrive." ”

"Shopkeeper Xie, can you bother to tell Master Miao the news that I am here?"

"Of course!"

"Thank you!"

"Take care of your injuries!" Shopkeeper Xie stood up and said, "I'll go first!"

※※※

Nangong Huang Xing's face changed sharply when she heard this, and she stammered and said angrily: "...... You...... You are talking nonsense...... What?!"

Nangong Lancao sighed heavily, don't look at him anymore, and stop talking.

There was a sudden silence in the secret room, so quiet that you could hear an embroidery needle falling to the ground.

"Sixth brother, who told you?" After a long while, Nangong Huang Xing regained his composure and asked in a cold voice.

"No one. Nangong Lancao looked at him calmly, "I knew when the second brother died." ”

"How do you see that?"

"The poison in the second brother is the unique secret medicine of the Taiyuan Situ family, 'imperceptibly dispersed'. ...... Third brother, the younger brother has been immersed in medicine for many years, can't he even see this?"

"Yes, the second brother did die of 'subtle dispersion'! But how can you be sure that I poisoned me?"

"Hmph, the second brother's daily diet is all in charge of Steward Lu, Steward Lu is your person, not what you ordered, does he have that dog gall?"

"It's indeed my poison!" Nangong Huang Xing suddenly became excited, looked directly at Nangong Lancao, and said excitedly: "But, the second brother deserves it!"

"Is it just because he killed Situ Yichen?"

"That's right, he shouldn't have killed him in the first place!" Nangong Huang Xing's expression was solemn, "Back then, Situ Yichen accidentally learned of our intention to rob the treasure, but I believe that he would never say it...... Think about it: How can a person who is very affectionate and righteous, and who is bitterly in love with our fifth sister, go to the informant?"

"Yes...... But the second brother's move is 'not afraid of 10,000, just in case'!"

"Everyone else can be killed, but this Situ can't be killed!" Nangong Huang Xing said angrily: "Just because of his move, isn't it bad enough to harm our fifth sister?"

Nangong Lancao was silent.

"Sixth brother, there may be some things you don't know yet. Nangong Huang Xing sighed: "Do you know: back then, our fifth sister had that Situ Yichen's blood and bones in her belly......"

"What?!" Nangong Lancao was shocked.

It must be known that the Nangong family is not only a martial arts family, but also a famous family, and this kind of unmarried pregnancy is a great insult to the lintel.

"The Situ family was going to come to the door to propose marriage immediately, but it happened to encounter the encirclement and suppression of the Tang Sect, so they had to postpone it...... Who knows...... Alas......"

"Third brother, the fifth sister has always been good friends with you, and she told you about the pregnancy?"

Nangong Huang Xing nodded and said, "She only told me one." ...... Do you still remember? After the fifth sister learned of Situ Yichen's death, she ran away from home immediately and never came back. ”

"Of course I do!"

Actually, she was only two months pregnant at that time, so no one saw it. Her departure, one is sad and desperate, and the other is afraid that her belly will grow bigger day by day, and she will eventually be discovered and humiliate the lintel......"

"Oh...... Did the fifth sister give birth to that child later?" Nangong Lancao asked in a trembling voice. According to her estimate, the fifth sister would beat the child out of shame.

"Of course! That kid is now in Hengshan. ”

Nangong Lancao sighed, and suddenly had an inexplicable joy of finally becoming an uncle, and asked, "Boy or girl?"

"Girl. ”

"Oh. ...... I think I'm in my thirties!"

"Yes. Nine out of twenty!" Nangong Huang Xing smiled, "Actually, you must have heard of her - it is the famous 'Cold Face Fairy' Leng Ruoshuang!"

"The cold woman who is one of the 'North and South Shuangjiao'?"

"Exactly. ”

"It's so good!" Nangong Lancao was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, "I've heard of her a long time ago, she is the number one hero among women, but I didn't expect it to be our niece!"

"However, when she was six years old, our second brother wanted to kill her!"

"What?!" Nangong Lancaoyuan opened her eyes in surprise.

"The second brother later learned about this, one thought that this matter was a great shame for our Nangong family, and the other was afraid that she would take revenge when she grew up, so he wanted to kill her. But it was noticed by the fifth sister and failed to succeed. ...... The second brother's move made the fifth sister shocked and angry. Think about it: although she is the illegitimate daughter of our fifth sister, almost no one knows about it, and besides, she also has the blood of our Nangong family in her veins after all. How can you be so ruthless as an uncle, and you don't want to put it to death?"

"Yes, the second brother has done a great job!" Nangong Lancao shook her head.

With this suspicion, the fifth sister began to investigate Situ Yichen's death, and she finally found out the truth. Sixth brother, what kind of mood will she have?"

Nangong Lancao sighed and said, "So, she wants to kill the second brother?"

Nangong Huang Xing shook her head and sighed lightly: "No." You know, the fifth sister is kind-hearted, how could she do such a thing? As you said, I did it......

"Twenty-one years ago,—— that is, the second year after the fifth sister discovered the truth,—— I went up to Hengshan to see her, and I was so old that I almost couldn't recognize her...... I asked why, and she couldn't stand my repeated questioning, and she finally said......

Speaking of this, she suddenly burst into tears and said sadly: "The fifth sister said that she dreamed that Situ Yichen was killed in front of her by the second brother almost every night, and she also dreamed that our second brother was going to kill her daughter...... For more than a year, she was awakened by nightmares and wept until dawn......"

"I mourned in my heart, and I wanted to kill my second brother when I came back, so as to relieve her demons. But in the end, he still couldn't do it, and after thinking about it, he decided to reduce his life. So, I searched for the 'subtle dispersion' of the Situ family in Taiyuan, and found an opportunity to continuously put it into his diet, and took his life in thirteen years......"

Nangong Lancao looked at him in a daze, and gradually reduced her resentment towards him, but she felt inexplicably sad.

"Sixth brother, do you think that if I kill the second brother, I will feel better?" Nangong Huang Xing wiped her tears.

"Third brother, I also know that you are very uncomfortable! Since you were a child, the relationship between the two of you has always been very good...... Over the years, you have been so fond of Xu'er and Yao'er, and I know that you are trying to make up for his children with remorse......"

"Knock knock!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the secret room.

The two of them hurriedly wiped away their tears. Nangong Huang Xing pulled her throat and shouted angrily: "Who?"

"Daddy, it's me!" Nangong Fu's voice, "There are three monks from outside the village, saying that they are from Putuo Mountain. The old monk called himself Tianfeng, and said that he was Brother Yiyun's master, and he wanted to meet you and Yiyun ......"

With a "rolling", the door of the secret room was opened, and Nangong Huang Xing hurriedly walked out and ordered: "Please!"

※※※

After Zhao Yanhao took the medicine fried by the guy, he leaned back to the kang, but he felt bored.

Luckily, there is also a window that allows you to see the scenery and the pedestrians on the street.

Three monks approached quickly. The tall and thin old monk in the middle was dressed in a moon-white robe, with Buddhist beads hanging down to his belly on his chest, and a ring knife hanging from his waist. The two monks next to him were holding sticks and the other was sticking double knives in his back.

"This old monk has such profound internal strength!" Zhao Yanhao stared at his scorching eyes and mused.

The three monks stopped at the door of the "Deyue Inn".

Xiao Er greeted him and asked earnestly, "Hello three masters, are you staying in a hotel or eating?"

"Little second brother, did you have any breakfast?" asked the little monk with a double knife on his back.

"Yes, yes, please come in!"

The third monk drank porridge for a while, and the little monk with two knives in his back asked: "Little second brother, I would like to ask you something: Is there an injured young man living in your inn?"

The shopkeeper Xie, who was dialing the plate behind the counter, tightened his heart, and without waiting for the little two to answer, he hurriedly asked: "May I ask the three masters, who are you ?......?"

"We belong to Songshan Shaolin Temple. The little monk smiled and said, "The person I inquired about: surnamed Zhao, in his thirties, very energetic and burly, is my senior brother." ”

Although Shopkeeper Xie learned that he was a disciple of Shaolin Temple in the casual chat with Zhao Yanhao just now, he was still very cautious, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, there is no such person here." ”

The little monk shook his head in disappointment, turned his head to the old monk and said, "Master, I can't inquire everywhere, where did you say Senior Brother Zhao hiding?...... Hey, I'm worried to hear that he's not lightly injured!"

"Don't worry!" the old monk smiled: "His martial arts are good, he will definitely not have an accident...... Hurry up and drink the porridge, let's go and inquire elsewhere!"

Shopkeeper Xie saw that the appearance of the three monks did not seem to be fake, and he was suspicious, thought about it, and decided to inform Zhao Yanhao of this matter first. So he put down his abacus, slowly went upstairs, came to Zhao Yanhao's guest room, and gently knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

Shopkeeper Xie pushed the door in, and said softly: "Brother Zhao, there are three monks in the inn, saying that they are from your Shaolin, and they have come to look for you......"

But when he saw Zhao Yanhao looking behind him in a daze, he was taken aback, and was about to turn around, when suddenly his vest was numb, his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Who are you?" Zhao Yanhao asked in surprise.

"Putuo Heavenly Wind!"

Zhao Yanhao suddenly gasped, and at the same time understood his intention.

He had heard Kong Jing say: Among the martial arts, there are several elders whose true strength, and he can't figure it out, and this Tianfeng is one of them.

Kongjing also solemnly warned him: If he encounters these people in the future, he must be more careful.

"Lao Na's intention, you must have already known?" Tianfeng had a gloomy face.

Zhao Yanhao nodded, staring at his hand without a moment's notice.

"Then let's take my life!"

Tianfeng shouted, and the Buddha beads on his neck suddenly flew out, covering Zhao Yanhao like a dark cloud.

Although Zhao Yanhao was on guard, this string of Buddhist beads came without warning, and it was as fast as lightning, and his neck was immediately straightened.

He was about to bounce out of the window, when he felt his neck tighten, and then his breath suffocated, and he fell firmly on the kang.

With a "whoosh", a snow-bright sword light carried the momentum of thunder and slashed at him.
