Chapter 114 The Secret of the Xiang Clan

Author: Jiji’s Qiqi

The moon was starry and the twenty-one pigeons had already entered the cage. After a day of busy work, Lao Li Tou was finally ready to do the trimming. Over the years, people in the village called him Lao Li Tou, shouting and shouting, and this became his name.

.

In fact, this name did not originally belong to him.

Seven years ago, when he came to this village, he was not too old. Because he lied that his hometown was hit by a disaster, he wandered here and lived in the house of a widower named Lao Litou at the head of the village, helping every day.

He chopped firewood, carried water, washed and cooked. Gradually, the widower became increasingly inseparable from him. He wanted to accept him as his godson, but he happened to have nowhere to go, so he accepted him as his godfather and settled down peacefully.

Unexpectedly, after just over a year of living together, the old widower became too sick to get out of bed. The doctor in the village had no choice but to drag him away. Within a month, he died. This godson from a foreign country died.

He was usually taciturn, and the villagers never knew his name, so they just called him the son of Old Litou's family. After Old Litou left, he became even more silent. In order to save trouble, the villagers gradually called him Lao.

Li's head is gone.

After his godfather left, he started to raise pigeons. He didn’t know where he got them. When the villagers found out, he had already raised a group of pigeons. In this quiet little village, he lived a quiet and peaceful life. If it weren’t for the outside window,

Those two black figures flashed by, and it seemed as if he had really forgotten where he came from and became Old Man Li.

Because it would be easy to notice a stranger coming here during the day, Yuan Zhengdao asked two trustworthy guards to lurk in Shiquan Village at night. Only by staying there for a day could they catch the person who sent money to Li San's mother.

However, from sunrise to sunset, the two guards hid in the grass in the backyard until their legs were numb, and no one came. The two of them stayed there until midnight, but no one came to see them, so they came out.

, took the old lady away.

When they reached the end of the village, one of them entered Old Li Tou's home.

It is not easy to train a homing pigeon, and it usually only flies to its childhood home. Therefore, Yuan Zhengdao speculated that Old Man Li must not be simple, and must be closely related to the person who instigated Li San. Therefore, he had ordered the two guards in advance.

He brought them back together.

However, when the guard entered the old house, where was the shadow of Old Li Tou? Even the pigeons disappeared without a trace, disappearing without a trace overnight. This was certainly not an ordinary old man.

Grandpa can do it.

When Yuan Zhengdao heard the news, he was filled with regret and secretly blamed himself for underestimating the enemy. But who would have thought that an inconspicuous old man in an inconspicuous small village could be a hidden master?

He frowned and thought for a long time, hesitated again and again, and finally decided to write a letter and send it in the most secretive way.

If, as Li San said, the only one who escaped through him was the young master, then how did the two people who fell into the trap for the first time escape? The relationship was so important that he had to escape here.

It's time to disturb him.

Seeing the Moon God Ceremony approaching day by day, Ziyang City was filled with guests. Royal nobles from all over the world, as well as people from all walks of life, gradually gathered here. For a time, the supply of inns in the city exceeded the demand, and the major taverns

, the business of the incense shop has also become more prosperous. At this time, the busiest businesses are not these merchants, but the Ministry of Rites, Yuxiangyuan, Tianxiang Pavilion, and Mo Xuanxiang Academy. They are all working non-stop to make the final arrangements for the ceremony.

Prepare and check.

On this day, as usual, Yuan Qiaonan returned home after darkening the sky. However, he did not go to the inner courtyard, but stood at the door waiting for something. Not long after, he heard a gentle knock on the door.

After carefully looking through the crack in the door, he opened the door and welcomed the person in. At the same time, he looked around to see if there was no one before closing the door tightly.

Yuan Qiaonan turned around, knelt down, and shouted "Father!" in all seriousness.

All the fans of Yuan Qiaonan in Ziyang City know that this handsome and gentle incense master was an orphan since he was a child. When he was a teenager, he was adopted by the old incense master Yuan Jin of Yuxiangyuan.

This was the opportunity that came later. Now that Yuan Jin has passed away, he has also lived in a separate house, and the person he calls his father today is Yuan Zhengdao, the master of Dongjun Pavilion.

Yuan Zhengdao stepped forward to help him up, looked him up and down, and patted his shoulder solemnly: "Good boy, you..." Yuan Zhengdao didn't finish his words, as if he didn't know what words to use to comfort him.

The son then simply changed to the topic: "Something strange happened in Dongjun Pavilion recently, and I came here to discuss it with you."

When Yuan Qiaonan heard that the two men who had photographed the belladonna flowers had stolen datura and sage and successfully escaped from the secret passage designed by the family ancestors, he, who had always been calm, stood up in shock.

He stood up and blurted out: "How is that possible?"

Regarding the family's secrets, his father told him all the secrets when he became an adult, so he also understood why his father would cruelly foster him away from home since he was a child, because he was born to shoulder the mission of the family, just like his father.

In fact, not only Dongjun Pavilion, but also the entire Youlan Black Market, was founded by his ancestors. However, sudden changes and dynasty changes later made it difficult for the family to support the operation of the entire black market, so they gradually sold it off, and finally only retained

Dongjun Pavilion and bulk cargo area.

In the Dongjun Pavilion, there are still secret rooms and secret passages built by the ancestors. The secret rooms can be seen by all of them, but the secret passage is only passed down by word of mouth among the clan, and no one has ever been able to open it. It is said that only

Only the top inheritor of the clan, Xiang Zun, can open it. Although the clan leader of the Xiang clan has always been in charge of all the affairs of the clan, Xiang Zun is the spiritual leader of the clan.

Yes, Yuan Qiaonan and his father Yuan Zhengdao are members of the Xiang Clan that has disappeared for a long time on the Qizhou Continent. The Xiang Clan's original surname is Xuanyuan. Later, due to the war, most of the Xiang Clan members were not good at martial arts, so they hid their names to accumulate strength.

More than seventy years ago, Queen Xuanyuan Ronger of the Kun Dynasty was a member of the Xiang Clan, and she had the most precious bloodline in the Xiang Clan. She once opened the secret passage, and it was said that she had reached unimaginable levels in the art of incense.

realm.

Since Xuanyuan Ronger, Xiang Zun's bloodline has not appeared again.

Yuan Qiaonan thought it was impossible. Firstly, the secret passage was carefully designed. If it were not for Xiangzun's bloodline, it would not have been possible to open it. The other reason was that he knew very well who the two people who escaped were, and there was absolutely no way they were Xiangzun.

People of the clan!

When Yuan Zhengdao heard what he said, he was also surprised. When he didn't know who it was, he just felt that there was a fog in front of him. Now he found that the people who escaped turned out to be the current King Yan and an inconspicuous little girl. What's more,
