Chapter 40: Puzzled
In Yuyuan Mansion, north of Huyuezhou City, a delicate study room on the second floor of an independent courtyard near the south. A middle-aged man with white face and long beard sat upright reading a book. Someone outside the door said, "Master Jing, Liu Qi is asking for a meeting."
The white-faced and long-bearded man put down the scrolls in the book and said, "Let him come up."
Without hearing the footsteps of the stairs, a tall and thin man appeared in front of the door and bowed to the man with white face and long beards: "See Master Jing from the Liuxia."
The middle-aged man, known as Lord Jing, had a serious expression and said, "Come in and speak."
Liu Qi walked into the study room, stood in front of the desk of the Master Jing, bent down and whispered: "Report to the Master, the fourth and second daughters of Yue family are quickly entering the state city, Meng Qingchen is dead."
The Master Jing raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Why did Meng Qingchen die? He didn't let him take action!"
Liu Qi said: "The thirteen people we sent and Meng Qingchen were all dead, so what happened is still unclear. The Yue Mansion convoy was only left with Yue Xiangzhi and Yue Ziqing, and there were two guards, and the rest were also dead."
The Master Jing's eyebrows kept tilting, and after a while, he said, "I'll find a way to ask the two guards what happened. How could Meng Qingchen die?" He said in his heart: "With Meng Qingchen's skills and my prior arrangements, how could he die there? He should take the opportunity to marry Yue Ziqing!"
After Liu Qi withdrew, the Master Jing called another person and asked, "Is there no news about Jing Chu?"
The man said, "I sent a letter back a year ago and said that the sender had been found, and I would definitely be able to-"
"I know this." Lord Jing Tang interrupted the man: "It's already May now, and there's no news?"
The man replied, "Yes."
The Master Jing pondered and said for a while: "Send a few people to Fuliang Mountain and Zixia Mountain to investigate to see if there was any accident in Jingchu? Don't act rashly, just inquire about the news and get back quickly."
After the man left, the study room became quiet. Master Jing looked at a map of Huyuezhou on the wall with his hands behind his back, frowned, and things were frustrated one after another. With Jingchu's skills as a seventh-level Tianchong Realm, there was no news for half a year. Could it be that the letter was actually a trap, a trap set by Yu Yichen? No wonder the Teng Qinglang, who sected the Heart Demon Sect to intercept Yu Yichen, had no news yet!
Thinking of this, Lord Jing broke out in cold sweat.
The master of Jing Hall is named Jing Zhongtian. He is the master of Longmen Hall, the largest hall in Yuyuan Mansion. He is a master who has become the tenth level of heavenly soul. In Yuyuan Mansion, both cultivation and status are second only to the master of Beigong You. Since last year, Beigong You's soul refining pill has deviated. Since seclusion, Jing Zhongtian wants to replace Beigong You without knowing whether the situation is good or bad.
Jing Zhongtian looked at the map on the wall and thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.
...
Before noon that day, Xie Danzhu led the little fox Lan'er to the city of Huyuezhou with the Yuefu convoy. Huyuezhouzhou City has a population of one million and is the largest city in the southeast of Dayuan Country. Compared with this city of Wufengyi, Xie Danzhu's hometown, is really a terrifying witch.
Yue Mansion is one of the few wealthy families in Huyue Prefecture. The mansion occupied an entire street. If the convoy returned from a long journey, it would be extremely lively. However, Yue Xiangzhi obviously did not have any joy when he came back this time. More than 50 people died in Yue Mansion coachman and Jianfu, and the funeral pension of these people was a huge sum of money. Of course, these people were nothing to the rich Yue Mansion. The problem is that now I can't figure out who is going to deal with their Yue Mansion. Why did Li Qingchen, an elite disciple of the Jinjian Sect, turn against him?
Yue Xiangda, the head of the Yue family, welcomed the fourth brother and his beloved daughter in front of the mansion. He had already learned the news in advance that a disciple named Xie from Qixia Mountain saved his fourth brother and Qingqing. So when he saw the fourth brother Yue Xiangzhi accompanying the cheerful young man, he immediately rushed forward and asked, "Is this Senior Brother Xie?"
Yue Xiangzhi quickly introduced that Xie Danzhu was welcomed into the main hall of the mansion. Xie Danzhu was not used to such formal occasions, so he didn't speak much. Yue Xiang Dashan was understanding and ordered the manager to take Xie Danzhu's brother and sister to your guesthouse to rest. He discussed with his fourth brother.
After Xie Danzhu took a bath and cleaned, a child servant brought wine and food, and two baskets of spiritual fruits, one was cherry and the other was fragrant pear. This should have been prepared by Yue Ziqing instructed the servants-
After lunch, Xie Danzhu used a Chimeng knife to help Xiaohu Lan'er peel fragrant pears. Xiaohu Lan'er sat on the side and ate cherries. At this time, Yue Ziqing came over and did not bring the maid. The girl changed into a light green dress, beautiful and graceful. She seemed much calmer at home and asked with a smile: "Senior Brother Xie said that when he was in Huyuezhou, he would tell me to do something, but I don't know what's going on?"
Xie Danzhu handed a peeled fragrant pear to Xiaohu Lan'er and smiled and said, "Miss Yue Er was joking. How dare I say that I'm asking for help."
Yue Ziqing smiled: "Well, Senior Brother Xie, please say it."
Xie Danzhu hesitated and said, "I want to ask Miss Yue Er to help me introduce Beigong Ziyan. I have something to do to her."
Yue Ziqing was stunned, and then she felt very uncomfortable. She had a good impression of this young man who saved her life, but Xie Danzhu obviously didn't take her to heart. He spoke up and wanted to see Beigong Ziyan. Well, Beigong Ziyan is a famous beauty in Tiger Yuezhou, so Yue Ziqing is naturally not as good as her.
Seeing that Yue Ziqing refused to answer, Xie Danzhu didn't understand the charm and didn't understand the girl's thoughts, and asked, "What, is it inconvenient?"
Yue Ziqing smiled and said, "How could it be? I have to help Master Xie do what Senior Brother Xie ordered. There should be news tomorrow." After that, he said goodbye.
Xie Danzhu also felt that Yue Ziqing suddenly became a little cold, and for no reason, asked the little fox Lan'er: "Lan'er, did your brother say something wrong? Why did Miss Yue Er suddenly feel a little unhappy?"
Little Fox Lan'er only cares about eating fragrant pears, and her hands were full of pear juice. When Xie Danzhu found a wet cloth towel to wipe her hands, she saw that her hands were clean, without any wet pear juice, and her skirt was also white and clean.
The little fox Lan'er is always clean, and sometimes it becomes spotless when it gets dirty in the blink of an eye. This makes Xie Danzhu very envious. Lan'er's realm is very high.
In the evening, Yue Ziqing sent a maid to report that Beigong Ziyan was not in the city and went to visit her father outside the city and would not come back in three days. Xie Danzhu asked him to wait patiently.
The more Xiangda and the more Xiangzhi brothers were greeted by Xie Danzhu brothers and sisters. During the meal, Liu Donghai, the deputy leader of Jinjianmen, wanted to see Xie Danzhu, but Xie Danzhu said, "I don't see outsiders, please refuse on my behalf."
