084 The Crisis on All Sides Vol. 2
084 Crisis on all sides (2)
The rest of the people in the inn had already rested, and there was no one in the corridor. The dim candlelight flickered, making people feel chilly.
Ah Tuan couldn't find Ye Jiaoxi, so he couldn't help but feel a little scared. He turned around the corridor and suddenly saw a person standing there. Ah Tuan was so frightened that he trembled all over and shouted: "You, who are you!"
The man turned his head and looked at him and said, "Are you Ah Tuan? What are you doing out at night without sleeping?" Because of the darkness, Ah Tuan couldn't see the man's face clearly, but his voice was filled with coldness.
Smiling. Ah Tuan was suddenly a little scared. Remembering what Ye Jiaoxi and Liu Wuqing had told him, he ran back to the room, slammed the door tightly, patted his chest and took a few breaths.
However, the window suddenly opened with a bang, and the man who just now rushed in again, saying: "Ah Tuan, your mother is not here, how scary you are to be left alone in the dark room. Ah Tuan, be good, follow your uncle
Let's go, uncle will give you delicious food, but if Atuan doesn't blame him, uncle will be angry." As he said that, he approached step by step.
Ah Tuan shouted for help, opened the door and tried to run out, but suddenly he saw a person standing outside the door. He waved his sleeves, and Ah Tuan passed out before he could shout.
The man standing outside the door said: "Brother, you are really troublesome, can't you take me away like this?"
The other person raised his lips and smiled, "Indeed, it saves a lot of trouble. Let's go." After saying that, he picked up Ah Tuan and ran out of the window with the other person.
In the Su Family Villa, Xiao Qiulian had gone back to his room to rest due to inconvenient eyesight, while Ye Jiaoxi and Liu Wuqing were still discussing countermeasures with Yuan Lie and Su Xianxian.
Yuan Lie said: "Xi'er, you haven't made it clear yet. What's wrong with what Lei Xi said?"
Liu Wuqing looked at Ye Jiaoxi's condensed expression and asked, "Is there any problem with Aunt Lan?"
Ye Jiaoxi glanced at them, thought for a while, and said, "Have you seen Aunt Lan recently?"
Liu Wuqing and Yuan Lie looked at each other and shook their heads. Yuan Lie said: "I haven't seen Miss Lan for more than 20 years. She is no longer a girl now."
Liu Wuqing said: "I haven't seen her in the past ten years. The last time was when you came to the Valley of Resurrection by mistake from Brother Ji's poison and she came to see you. I haven't seen her since.
"
"Then why did Lei Xi say that he killed Aunt Lan? Aunt Lan has not appeared in the world for so many years. There are very few people who know her. How did Lei Xi know about her relationship with the Shadowless Sect?"
Su Xianxian couldn't help but wonder: "Who is Aunt Lan? Why can't I understand what you are saying?"
Ye Jiaoxi replied: "Aunt Lan is the one who taught me the art of disguise."
"Then Lei Xi's disguise technique must have been learned from Aunt Lan, so naturally she also knows the relationship between the Shadowless Sect and her." Su Xianxian said.
Yuan Lie immediately said: "She is not such a person who cannot recognize people clearly."
Ye Jiaoxi also said: "Aunt Lan also said that I am the only successor of the art of disguise. And it is obvious that Lei Xi's art of disguise has not been truly passed down, and is very crude."
"It's not just Aunt Lan," Liu Wuqing said, "I have always been puzzled. Not many people know about Xi'er pretending to be Miss Lin's substitute marriage. How did Lei Xi know so clearly?"
Ye Jiaoxi thought for a while and said: "If he is Mu Ziling's political opponent, it will not be difficult for him to find out. Moreover, there is one more thing..." Ye Jiaoxi hesitated for a while and finally said, "Actually,
, Aunt Lan...is the current Queen Mother."
"What!" The three of them shouted in unison, "Queen Mother?"
Ye Jiaoxi twitched the corner of her mouth, "Calm down, I was shocked for a long time when I first found out."
After a while, the three of them gradually recovered, and Ye Jiaoxi said again: "It's because of this that I wonder why Lei Xi mentioned the Queen Mother. If Aunt Lan is just an ordinary Jianghu person, she won't be found out by them.
Strange, Auntie Lan is the Queen Mother, which is unusual."
Liu Wuqing pondered for a moment and said: "The Queen Mother held power in the years after the death of the late emperor, and only let it go in recent years, but it is not something that ordinary people dare to resist."
Ye Jiaoxi nodded and said: "Yes, Mu Ziling has always been in awe of her, even the current emperor."
Yuan Lie sighed in a low voice, "The water is too deep. We should only look for those people pretending to be Wuyingmen."
Su Xianxian said: "Do we need to find out what Brother Liu mentioned before?"
"With so many people from various martial arts sects, how can we find them?" Yuan Lie asked.
Liu Wuqing frowned slightly, thought for a while, and asked: "Master Yuan, when did Mr. Xiao Qiulian go to Wudang Mountain?"
Before Yuan Lie could answer, Ye Jiaoxi continued: "Five years ago, I met him when I came out of the palace, and I took him to Wudang Mountain."
Liu Wuqing nodded and asked, "How is his kung fu?"
"When he came to martial arts, he had no foundation at all. Although he started late, he has good muscles and bones. Now he can be considered a small success. What's wrong?"
Liu Wuqing shook his head, "It's nothing. By the way, his eyes are born at night, aren't they objects?"
Yuan Lie said: "I heard from the Xiao family that this is the case. I have some friendship with Mrs. Xiao."
"I would like to ask," Liu Wuqing said, "What kind of relationship does Master Yuan have with Mrs. Xiao? The Xiao family is the richest businessman in the world. How did Master Yuan know Mrs. Xiao?"
Although Yuan Lie was confused as to why Liu Wuqing was questioning him, he still told the truth: "Young man was seriously injured once in Danlin, and he recovered thanks to Mrs. Xiao's rescue. We have had some contact since then."
Ye Jiaoxi couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Liu, I think Brother Xiao is very good, why do you have to ask so clearly?"
However, Liu Wuqing just shook his head and said, "Nothing, I'm just curious about his night blindness."
The few people discussed until almost dawn before dispersing. When Ye Jiaoxi and Liu Wuqing came out from the Sujia Villa, the east was slightly white. Since they had not slept all night, Ye Jiaoxi was a little tired, so he went back to the inn with Liu Wuqing.
However, when he opened the door and walked in, Atuan was no longer on the bed. The windows in the room were open and creaked in the morning breeze.
Ye Jiaoxi suddenly felt as if she was in an ice cellar, her hands and feet were completely cold. She shouted in a panic: "Brother Liu! Brother Liu - Ah Tuan... Ah Tuan is missing!"
Liu Wuqing heard her cry and ran over from the next room in a hurry, "What's wrong? What's going on?"
"A Tuan..." Ye Jiaoxi held his arm tightly and said helplessly, "A Tuan is missing..."
Liu Wuqing was shocked when he heard this. He hugged Ye Jiaoxi and said warmly: "Don't worry, Ah Tuan will be fine. Let's just go look for him." As he said that, he looked around the room and suddenly found the desk on the desk.
There was a piece of paper. He stepped forward and picked it up. It read clearly on it:
Your son is in my hands. If you want to rescue him, let Mu Ziling go to the pine leaf forest in the west of Jinchuan City alone three days later. - "The Sword of a Moment"
