Chapter 19 Uncovering the Identity

Ah Yue turned her head abruptly, only to see An Ye approaching step by step.Zhan Zhao and Wu San also turned around slowly, with their skills, they had already heard the person behind them, but they didn't point it out.

"Brother, when did you come back?" Ah Yue was surprised to see An Ye, and asked again: "Do you know the real identity of Shopkeeper Wu?"

"Him?" An Ye looked gloomy, kept sneering, and said, "He is a traitor of our Moonlight Clan. Twenty years ago, he tried to betray our Moonlight Clan to the Song government for the sake of fame and wealth."

Ah Yue immediately turned to look at Wu San, then at An Ye, and asked, "A traitor of the Moonlight Clan? How do you know? If he betrayed the Moonlight Clan, why is he still here incognito?"

An Ye said: "It's not long since I found out, so I hurried back to inform you. In fact, I have suspected him for a long time, and I have been unable to find any evidence. This time I finally found strong evidence. It can be seen that Huangtian pays off. No matter how deep he hid, he finally revealed his flaws. He is none other than Gaifeng, the former high priest who betrayed his family after a big change many years ago. That Liuhuai is his son. They disguised themselves as father and son, I have lived in seclusion for many years, and I have deceived many people, but I still don’t give up after thinking about it, and my intention is to harm my Moonlight Clan.”

Ah Yue came to a sudden, no wonder Wu San's sky-viewing skills are so superb, even better than her, it turns out that he is the former high priest Gaifeng of the Moonlight Clan, but...she still has a mystery in her heart, but she is unwilling to say it out , thought to himself: "But why does he have six fingers on his left hand?"

An Ye continued: "If it wasn't for the night of the assassination, when he showed his martial arts to save you, no one would have exposed his true identity."

Zhan Zhao looked at An Ye's face like lightning, and said, "Zhan still has some doubts, please ask the patriarch to explain. The Xixia killers attacked secretly that night. Presumably the patriarch was also poisoned, but he didn't rest and heal his wounds. Why did he leave overnight? I don't know where the patriarch has gone? The patriarch kept saying that someone saw shopkeeper Wu's identity before he saw his identity. He must have been at the scene that night, but he didn't know who this discerning person was? What did the patriarch collect? The evidence confirms that Shopkeeper Wu is an old member of the Moonlight Clan, or even a traitor?"

An Ye stared at Zhan Zhao, with hatred in his eyes, and said coldly: "I have my own way, why should I tell you?"

Ah Yue said anxiously: "Brother, Big Brother Zhan is a fair and selfless person, and he is also in charge of official duties. His question is also my question. Please explain clearly to Big Brother."

An Ye yelled angrily: "Little sister, don't forget your identity, instead of helping big brother, stand on the side of outsiders and talk." With a choke, he pulled out the scimitar worn at his waist, and shouted at Wu San: " Haifeng, today, as the patriarch, I will eradicate you, a traitor, for the Moonlight Clan."

Ah Yue stepped forward to stop her, and persuaded: "Brother, if you have something to say, speak clearly, don't be rash and hurt others."

An Ye pushed Ah Yue away, swung the scimitar, and slashed at Wu San.

Zhan Zhao took a step forward, the giant que in his hand was not out of its sheath, raised his hand slightly, and blocked his scimitar, and said, "Patriarch, there are still many things that are not clear about this matter, and further investigation is required." As he said, he turned his head and glanced at Wu San, wondering why he was like a clay model, without any resistance, as if he was willing to die.

An Ye was furious, and shouted sharply: "This is my Moonlight Clan's business, you have nothing to do with it."

Zhan Zhao said in a deep voice: "The affairs of the world are Zhan Zhao's affairs. With me here, I will never allow you to indiscriminately lynch."

An Ye knew that her martial arts were too far behind Zhan Zhao, and Ah Yue didn't want to help, so she had to withdraw her scimitar, glared at Zhan Zhao, then at Wu San, turned around and jumped off the city wall.Ah Yue couldn't call her in time, so she could only watch him leave bitterly.

When An Ye's figure disappeared, Ah Yue turned to look at Wu San and asked, "Are you really the high priest of Gale Wind?"

Gale had betrayed her clan when she was young.Since then, all the clansmen have kept a secret about Gaifeng and his affairs, and never mentioned it.

When practicing the art of observing the sky handed down by the family, Ah Yue read the many notes compiled by Hai Feng, and knew that he was a very smart person, so why did he suddenly betray the family?She once found a portrait of the high priest Gaifeng in the family's collection by chance. The man in the painting is still young, with handsome features, and has no resemblance to the bloated and mediocre Shopkeeper Wu It must be that he deliberately changed his appearance in order to hide his identity.Only when he took off the disguise of shopkeeper Wu, did he reveal a bit of his demeanor back then from his sharp eyes.

She still remembered that among the notes left by Gale, there were several ink paintings of small scenes in the south of the Yangtze River.The painting is well preserved, which shows that the collectors cherish it very much.Haifeng carefully collects these small pictures of Jiangnan, and Ah Yue has always been puzzled for what purpose.The Moonlight Clan has been passed down in the desert for three generations. Although the ancestors migrated from the Jiangnan in the Central Plains, some people tried to return to their hometown in the early years, but in her generation, A Yue, the tribe has long regarded the desert wasteland as their only hometown. Let's talk about the hometown of Jiangnan again.

Wu San listened to Ah Yue's question, the corners of his mouth twitched, and after a long while, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "I'm ashamed, I was originally called Haifeng." He said that he was originally Haifeng, meaning that he is no longer?Did he really want to forget everything and just be an innkeeper?If he could really be content with being mediocre, why did he have to show up so frequently that he finally exposed his identity?

Ah Yue has a lot to say in her heart, but she doesn't know where to start.Zhan Zhao also had a lot of questions to ask, but he had many worries, so it was inconvenient for him to ask.

The three of them were silent, standing on the city wall, watching the rising sun, and watching the light shine on the yellow sand of the desert.

after a long time.Wu Sancai said: "The celestial phenomena are changing, and there will be a catastrophe coming. It's better to inform the townspeople early to prepare."

At this time, Ah Yue had completely trusted his sky-watching skills, and said, "Please also ask High Priest Gale Wind to assist in making arrangements."

Wu San looked at her with a loving smile and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to help you." He turned his head to look at Zhan Zhao meaningfully, and said, "Many people have already died, so we can't bleed any more. I hope all grievances can be resolved soon."

Sure enough, Wu San did what he said, and stayed with Ah Yue all day long, guiding the Moonlight Clan to help Qiongta Town defend against sandstorms.

The townspeople in Qiongta Town heard that a bigger sandstorm was coming, and they were panic-stricken. Seeing that the Moonlight Clan was not afraid of difficulties, and still did their best to help, they felt relieved. Come down to rescue the living gods in Qiongta Town, respect and worship more than before.

Arranging with Wu San all the way, Ah Yue also admired him more and more, knowing that his sky-watching skills were indeed much better than her own, so she humbly asked for advice and carefully asked about the previously unknown points.At the same time, she was even more surprised. Seeing Wu San's deep affection for the Moonlight Clan, she wished to pass on all her skills to her immediately. She didn't seem like a traitor at all, so why would the Clan set him up? Treason?And why is he so calm, from the beginning to the end, without a single word of excuse?

Zhan Zhao sat quietly at the table as before, drinking slowly while watching Wu San and the people from the Moonlight Clan come in and out.He was relaxed on the surface, but he was always on guard in his heart. Although he believed that Wu San would give him an explanation, he still had to guard against accidents.

Ouyang Chun and Gong Qianshan sat at another table with Li Xiaoli, also in a bad mood.They have been trapped in Qiongta Town for a long time, but they still haven't found any sign of the murderer.

Bai Yutang heard that there was an even bigger sandstorm coming, so he slapped his forehead with his hand, and yelled strangely: "My God, where is this a place for people to live?! Why don't these people just leave here and find another safe place to live?" where?"

Ding Yuehua said: "What do you know? This is the meaning of hometown. No matter how sinister it is, there is something to miss."

Bai Yutang shook his head and said, "Of course I know the meaning of my hometown, but...this is a poor and remote village, the soil is not good, and the sky is not good. It's really not worth nostalgia."

"Although the soil is not good and the sky is not good, but this is the land where our Moonlight Clan takes root and grows. In your view, it is useless, but in our view, it is a lovely and lovable place to live." It was surprising. What's more, the person who spoke at the interface was An Ye who had been sitting silently in the corner drinking.

Bai Yutang stared at the dark night for a long time, as if seeing this person for the first time, then turned his head and whispered to Ding Yuehua, "Look, it's a rare thing that even the wooden man can speak." He turned his head again, stared at Looking at the dark night, he said: "So, you have deep feelings for this remote desert, and you will never be able to leave?"

An Ye seemed to be fighting hard, and said forcefully, "That's right, this is my hometown." He seemed to want to prove something, and suddenly blushed with excitement, and said loudly, "We Moonlight Clan were born here and grew up here." Here, here are our brothers and sisters, and..." He paused, with tenderness in his eyes, lowered his voice, and continued: "There is still our lover here, and our warm home... ...Although the scenery here is not as gentle and pleasant as that of Jiangnan, and although the girls here are not as beautiful as those of Jiangnan women, they are just as affectionate and gentle, why can't we stay in love?"

Bai Yutang originally wanted to argue, but now he was moved by the enthusiasm expressed in An Ye's words. He was speechless for a while, and suddenly asked: "The meaning of what the patriarch brother said is that there is a place he likes." girl."

An Ye blushed, but ignored him.

Bai Yutang winked at Ding Yuehua triumphantly, and said to An Ye: "I didn't expect the patriarch to be cold-eyed, but he is also the seed of passion. I don't know which girl you like? Is it the girl from Qiongta Town?"

An Ye knew that he had slipped his mouth, so he just lowered his head, shut his mouth tightly, and didn't say a word.

Ah Yue and Wu San walked in at some unknown time, they seemed to have stood there for a long time.Ah Yue suddenly said: "The girl my brother likes is a good girl, but she doesn't live in Qiongta Town."

Bai Yutang asked, "Where do you live?"

Ah Yue said, "Xixia who lives on the other side of the desert."

An Ye shouted angrily: "Sister, shut up."

Everyone looked at the two brothers and sisters, stunned for a moment, and they all had the same thought in their hearts: it turned out that the lover of the dark night was from Xixia, and then they couldn't help but have doubts: that night, who was the Xixia killer's surprise attack in the wine? The secret poison of the Western Xia court?And who attracted those Xixia killers?

Wu San said slowly: "It doesn't matter where the person you like lives, the important thing is that a person must understand where his roots are."

An Ye stared at him, eyes blazing with anger, and said, "Where do you think your hometown is?"

Wu San didn't evade at all this time, and stared at him with wide eyes, saying, "It's Jiangnan. Not only my hometown is in Jiangnan, but the hometown of the Moonlight Clan is also in Jiangnan. We will definitely return to our hometown and rebuild our homeland."

An Ye slapped the table hard, stood up, and shouted loudly: "Nonsense! You are a traitor, and only you, a lunatic, will always dream of returning to Jiangnan. That Jiangnan is just an illusory place in your heart, and you are alone. The so-called hometown. And here, this desert where we are standing, is our real hometown.”

Wu San shook his head sadly, and said: "We have been out for too long, so long that you have mistaken a foreign land for your hometown. No matter what you say, you can't change our ancestors' determination and last wish to return to their hometown. I will definitely bring the Moonlight Clan back. Go back to Jiangnan."

Li Xiaoli, who was sitting next to Gong Qianshan, was eating snacks. Hearing An Ye and Wu San's heated argument, he became scared and stopped eating snacks. He leaned close to Gong Qianshan's side, blinking his big eyes, looking at this person and then That person couldn't understand why these adults were at war with each other because of a small hometown issue.When he heard Wu San mentioning Jiangnan several times, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, stretched out his hand, pointed at Wu San tremblingly, and shouted: "It's him, it's him, I recognize his voice. That night, the murderer killed Daddy. At that time, I also said that in order to return to Jiangnan, I can only feel sorry for my father. Every time the murderer talked about Jiangnan, his tongue curled up very badly, just like what shopkeeper Wu said just now."
