Xiao Han didn't wait for Xie Ning's order, but hurried back to the other courtyard without waiting for Xie Ning's order. Fortunately, Xie Ning didn't bother with him about letting Li Zhi and Hongye leave, and Xiao Han saw Yinzhu immediately after returning,? Ask her exactly what happened before Li Zhi was taken away by Hongye.

Yin Zhu's injury was more serious than Xiao Han imagined, which made him more worried about Li Zhi.

When Xiao Han saw Yinzhu, the secret guard who was good at medicine in the other hospital was bandaging the scrape on her arm, her face was extremely pale, as if she had suffered an internal injury.

When Yinzhu saw Xiao Han, it was as if she had seen a life-saving straw. She stood up before anyone bandaged the wound on her arm, "Please help me save the leader, my leader is in danger now!"

Xiao Han's complexion changed slightly, "Tell me first what happened when I was not around."

Yinzhu could only suppress the anxious look on the floor below and said: "After the son went out, the leader went to see the master of the hall. I don't know what they said. The leader agreed to go out with the master of the hall. He said he would go back to the mountain to have a look, but he didn't Bring anyone,? I don't worry but I followed..."

Consistent with the statement of the hidden guards who stayed in the other courtyard, after seeing Hongye, Li Zhi only took Yinzhu and went out. As a result, before the carriage left the city, Hongye suddenly shot and injured Yinzhu, and robbed Li Zhi. gone.

Most of the wounds on Yinzhu's body were caused by the stones that rubbed against the ground when she rolled down. The heaviest one was the palm that Hongye hit Yinzhu's shoulder.

Yinzhu finished speaking in a few words, kneeled down facing Xiao Han, "My elder brother took people up the mountain early this morning, and now I can only ask the prince for help, please help find the leader of my family!"

Xiao Han was so anxious that he had no time to care about Yinzhu's thoughts, so he waved his hands to ask someone to help Yinzhu up, and told Yan Badao: "It seems that they may have gone back, you should immediately send someone back to Fuyue Mountain to find someone... But if Hongye wants to escape, maybe going back to the mountain is just a cover, and she can't miss other places."

Yan Ba ​​hurriedly responded, and hurried out the door.

Xiao Han groaned on the spot for a while, and when he saw Yin Zhu bowing his hands to thank him, he came back to his senses, and was about to tell her to go back to bandage first, when Yan Ba ​​ran back again.

"My lord, Mr. Xie is here!"

Yan Ba ​​ran over, informed Xiao Han, and carefully hid aside.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Ning, who was wearing a black golden robe, led Lu Qingbo into the courtyard.

Xiao Han's expression froze slightly, and he walked up slowly, "Brother Xie, I'm sending people to look for Hongye, and I heard from them that Li Zhi was kidnapped."

He was afraid that Xie Ning's worrying too much would bring trouble to Li Zhi, so he could only feel sorry for Hongye.Even if Li Zhi blamed him for this afterwards, Xiao Han would not regret it.

Xie Ning actually didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, he smiled helplessly when he heard the words, and sighed: "I know what the prince said, I rushed here this time because I have another news to tell the prince."

Seeing that he didn't come here to inquire about crimes, Xiao Han was secretly relieved and at the same time a little puzzled.

"what news?"

Xie Ning looked behind him, Lu Qingbo immediately understood, bowed his hands to Xiao Han, and said: "After the son left, someone sent us a letter, and the letter said that the person the son was looking for went to Luanshi Mountain outside the city."

Xiao Han was surprised: "Is this true?"

Xie Ning said with a smile: "I have sent people to check outside the city, and indeed someone saw a carriage going in the direction of Luanshi Mountain, so it must be them."

Guessing that Xie Ning is in a high position and intends to recruit Li Zhi, there is absolutely no need to lie to them, Xiao Han probably believed it as soon as he heard it, and said happily, "Thank you brother for coming to remind me, I will go to Luanshi Mountain right away!"

Xie Ning waved his hand and said, "You don't need to thank me, it just so happens that I brought some people with me, let's go together."

Xiao Han's expression paused for a moment, and he looked at the several Tianluo guards behind Lu Qingbo, knowing that if Xie Ning wanted to go out, there must be more guards outside the door, so he hesitated—if Li Zhi really wanted to Let's go... It's not that he doesn't believe in Li Zhi, he's afraid that Li Zhi will be bewitched by Hongye, and if it's difficult for his family, he will take the initiative to leave Hongye this time.As a result, Xie Ningruo went and asked the reason, fearing that it would cause trouble to Li Zhi.

However, Xiao Han secretly squeezed his fist, then slowly let go, and nodded.

"Then I have to thank you brother."

Compared to these, he was more afraid that Hongye would be unfavorable to Li Zhi.The timing of Hongye's return was too unfortunate. Where did she go after she disappeared for so long? Why did she hurt Li Zhi who was robbed by Yin Zhu and who was seriously ill?

From the perspective of Xiao Han who met her for the first time, it is not impossible for her to hurt Li Zhi.Therefore, it is not impossible to have people brought by Xie Ning to help.

At the same time, Li Zhi was sitting on the carriage on the road to Luanshi Mountain.

Li Zhi sat quietly in the carriage, through the curtains that swayed as the carriage moved, sometimes a fiery back was reflected in his dark eyes.

He was tapped on the acupuncture points and couldn't move. In fact, he didn't intend to break free from the acupuncture points.

Li Zhi lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes thoughtful.

When he went to see Hongye this morning and persuaded Hongye to tell him the truth about this matter again, Hongye, contrary to yesterday's resistance, took the initiative to tell him that she wanted to go back to the mountain to see, and then she would tell everything.

Li Zhi agreed, because of his trust in her, he even agreed that she would not take anyone with her, including Xiao Han's bodyguards and dark guards who stayed by his side.

Only Yin Zhu was an accident.

When they went out to prepare the carriage, Yinzhu saw them, and Yinzhu volunteered to accompany them.

Li Zhi also agreed.

Afterwards, when he left the city, he was acupunctured by Hongye and Yinzhu was kicked off the carriage.

Li Zhi couldn't go out, so he could only see the road conditions outside through the window. It could be seen that this was not the road he was familiar with the day he returned to Fuyue Mountain, but another direction. Hongye should be taking him there To the rocky mountain a dozen miles west of Jinshui City.

The name of Luanshi Mountain comes from the fact that there are many mountains and rocks here, and the peaks and ridges are extremely steep. There is almost no vegetation, and there are no people who go up the mountain to collect firewood on weekdays.

When Li Zhi saw those steep and jagged peaks, the carriage also slowed down.

Hong Ye put down her whip, opened the curtain and walked in, and met Li Zhi's eyes at a glance.She sat down opposite and raised her hand to unlock Li Zhi's acupuncture points.

The next moment, his body suddenly relaxed, and Li Zhi looked at Hongye in surprise.

Hong Ye lightly smiled and said, "Master, you don't need to look at me like this, I will definitely not harm you."

Li Zhi nodded slightly, "I know. But I don't know where you are taking me."

"Rocky Mountain."

Li Zhi looked at her and said: "You said you want to go home, see my father, see everyone."

Hongye's smile faded, "It's true that I lied to the leader when I said I was going back to Fuyue Mountain. This is also the last time. Rest assured, leader, I will do what you wish and tell you everything you want to know."

Li Zhi looked at her quietly.

Hongye sighed, "Okay, let me say."

Li Zhi found that although Hongye had injured Yinzhu, kidnapped him and changed her course, her attitude towards him remained the same, without any malice.

Just like at this moment, Hongye is still looking at him lovingly, her eyes are full of tenderness.

"Then the leader, do you want to know the descendants of the Jiang family and the treasure map first, or something else?"

Li Zhi said: "I want to know everything, but I'm not sure if you will tell me everything."

Hong Ye pursed her lips and chuckled, "I can tell anyone about the descendants of the Jiang family and where the treasure map is, but this person will never be you. Because knowing too much will not benefit the leader at all."

Li Zhi was taken aback for a moment, "This matter has nothing to do with me?"

Hong Ye smiled and shook her head, she didn't know whether she thought Li Zhi's words were funny or was just trying to put him off.She looked out of the window, with a look of nostalgia on her face, "I was born in the southwest, and I was not called Hongye. I was the daughter of a lieutenant under the King of Nan. I grew up in the Nanwang Mansion. The princess treats me like a daughter, and the prince Jiang Yun treats me like a sister, and I have always regarded them as my relatives."

"But all of them disappeared on that day. King Rui's men broke into the palace, and my adoptive father, the current Zhennan King, stood behind King Rui and his men, watching helplessly as they forced the prince to death... "Hongye said, her smile quietly but quickly dissipated, and there was a bit of grief in her eyes. She said bitterly: "The prince was forced to death by them. Brother Shizi and I escaped with the protection of the princess. The princess was distraught. After giving birth to the little son on the road, he also went with the prince, and after that, there was nothing left in the Nanwangfu. I left the Southwest with Elder Brother Shizi and the little prince, and wandered the world ever since."

Li Zhi's eyes paused, and his voice subconsciously softened, "Later, you assassinated King Rui?"

Hongye nodded, "On the way to escape, the young master fell seriously ill, and then accidentally met the victims who fled because of the plague, and were trapped in the town together, so the young master..."

Li Zhi said: "He also..."

Hongye shook her head, and said softly: "I don't know, I didn't like the young master. I just went out for a while, and the child disappeared when I came back. The prince and I searched for a long time, but we couldn't find the young master. Because the epidemic was too serious, the court The pursuit was also very close, we didn't stay any longer, we escaped from this town through the tunnel, after that, the prince planned to assassinate King Rui on his way back to Beijing to avenge the Southern Palace."

Li Zhi sighed secretly, the young master of the Southern Palace should be one of Hongye's only relatives at that time, and he lost it when Hongye was not paying attention, Hongye must be very guilty, and the young master was seriously ill at that time, and fell into the Maybe if it is in the hands of refugees infected with the plague, 24% of them will not be able to survive.If he survived, the young master should be [-] years old.

Coincidentally, Hongye also thought of this point, "If the young master is still here, he should be married and have children by now, which is very good. You don't have to be like me and Shizi. This life is full of fugitives, and there will never be peace."

Li Zhi comforted: "What happened back then is over, King Rui is dead, and the emperor of that year is also dead. The current court is willing to give us a chance, as long as Auntie tells me where the treasure map is."

Hongye smiled wryly: "Master, you are too young, and you still haven't realized the dangers in the world. Now in the eyes of King Zhennan, the treasure map is very important, but the descendants of the Jiang family are even more important. Similarly, the court will not let go. After the descendants of the Jiang family, even if they will not kill the son, they will definitely hold the son in their hands, so that they can rest assured that if the country changes hands in the future, who can guarantee that they will always treat the descendants of the Jiang family well? After all, Jiang The descendants of the family have the blood of the former royal family, and there was once a kingslayer. But the son has suffered all his life, how can I let him fall into such a situation?"

Li Zhi was speechless.

Hong Ye also knew that it was a bit unfounded to tell Li Zhi, but she had to think about it for the sake of her close relatives, "If it weren't for the situation, who would be willing to risk many dangers and bear the infamy of a traitor? , The young man lost his family and was homeless for half his life. Finally, he had a few days of peace and stability. If you want me to tell his hiding place, I can't do it."

Li Zhi was silent for a moment, then frowned slightly and said, "Jiang Yun, is he very important to Auntie?"

Hong Ye nodded without hesitation, "He is my elder brother and my relative." She looked at Li Zhi again, "You are also my aunt's relative. Xiao Jiang, you are a smart and good boy. You have resentment in your heart because you mistook it for the Jiang family, and I know that you are all like this. After the son appears, he will suffer a hundred times worse than you."

There was a deep apology on Hongye's face, "This matter is all because of me. It was the king of Zhennan who found me first and asked me to confess to be his son, but I refused. Back then, he helped King Rui to fabricate false testimony and hurt Nanwang's mansion. Killed my father, I hate him to the bone, how could I be with him? He asked me for help again, asking me to frame the regent for murdering the current emperor, and he could find an excuse to lead troops to rescue him, and then cleanse the Nanwang mansion Clearing up the grievances, I agreed on the surface, but turned against me when I acted. He must hate me so much now. Even if he is still trapped in the palace, he will send his henchmen to chase and kill me. It is my actions that made him rise up again. I want to find the mind of the son through me."

"I was the one who implicated the prince." Hongye said: "It was also I who harmed the sect master and the brothers in the sect. If I hadn't acted impulsively, you would not have been implicated by me, and Old Wen Wen, brother Wang, and the others would not have..."

Hongye paused, took a light breath, and said seriously: "Master, the whole thing started because of my impulsiveness, and it will end with me."

Li Zhi knew that she insisted on not revealing Jiang Yun's whereabouts, so he could understand a thing or two, but Hongye was also his relative, and he also wanted to protect Hongye.Unexpectedly, without waiting for his persuasion, Hongye would say such a thing.

Li Zhi asked vigilantly, "What is Auntie going to do?"

Hongye smiled slightly, and looked at him reluctantly, "The leader has grown up, and he has a son to protect him. The only thing my aunt can't let go of is your body. After this matter is over, the leader will go with the son, I I heard from them that only the son can find the medicine you need, and my aunt hopes that you can live well."

Li Zhi became more and more uneasy, "What does Auntie want to do? Where are we going?"

Hongye shook her head and didn't answer, just said: "Remember, everything has nothing to do with you, you are not even the child of the old leader. You have done so much for Fuyue Sect, aunt can't give you anything now, you can only Identify your identity and return your innocence."

Li Zhi opened his mouth, and was about to speak, but was preempted by Hongye holding his arm, "Don't say any more, and don't ask anything, you don't know anything, and I will definitely not hand you the treasure map."

Li Zhi froze for a moment, then had a flash of inspiration, and asked hesitantly: "Auntie, does that treasure map really exist? You also have that thing?"

Hong Ye laughed and said: "The treasure map is just a rumor in the world. I have never seen the prince take it out, and the prince also said that it is just echoing what others say."

Li Zhi asked again: "Then, aunt, do you still remember what you asked Uncle Wang to give me?"

Hongye was stunned for a moment, and then quickly smiled and said: "I don't remember, I gave him a lot of things before and asked him to pass them on to you, maybe I didn't pay attention to what I threw to him, so I don't remember clearly now."

Li Zhi didn't speak anymore, just pressed his sleeve.Knowing that this was wrong, when Wang Yong gave him the mysterious map, he said that Hongye asked him to hand it over.

Wang Yong also said that it was Hongye who told him that this map could only be taken out and given to the prince when Fuyuejiao was alive and dead, so as to keep Fuyuejiao peaceful.

But he had hinted at it just now, but Hongye didn't seem to know about it at all.

Li Zhi was distracted by his thoughts, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Hong Ye's complexion also changed.

There was a violent pause in the carriage, Li Zhi came back to his senses, and subconsciously looked at Hongye.

Hongye let out a breath, her beautiful face was covered with a thick layer of ice.

"arrive."

Li Zhi asked, "What are we going to do?"

Hongye looked at him and said, "The leader doesn't have to do anything, just follow me."

Li Zhi frowned, and asked resolutely: "Now that we have come here, aunt still refuses to say what you are going to do?"

Hongye hesitated for a while, and finally sighed, "I'll take you to change two people."

At noon in midsummer, the weather in the mountains was extremely sweltering. Meng Jianyu rode a horse on the mountain road. He managed to get rid of the people following him from Fu Yuejiao. After walking around the city, he ran into a person on the way.

Meng Jianyu's eyes lit up, he tightened the reins and stopped, and the other party also drove his horse forward.

"Ninth brother."

Meng Jianyu looked at the man in white on the white horse. He was Ah Jiu.Meng Jianyu's eyes fell directly on his right leg covered by white clothes, and he said in joy and surprise: "Didn't you go to recover from your injury, why did you come back again? Your leg is not seriously injured, why are you still riding a horse?"

Ah Jiu's face was a little pale, but more anxious. When he saw Meng Jianyu, he said anxiously, "Meng Jianyu, did you come out of the city?"

Meng Jianyu said, "Just came out."

Ah Jiu's eyes lit up a little, "Take me back to Li Zhi now, I have something urgent!"

Seeing that he was driving the horse forward, Meng Jianyu quickly stopped him and said, "I'm afraid I won't find him when I go back now. Before I left the city, I saw that the son brought many people out of the city, and the leader Li should have gone too."

Ah Jiu had to stop.

Meng Jianyu asked curiously: "What's the matter? If you want to find Master Li now, I think Brother Ninth's leg injury is not serious, why don't I go for you?"

"I have an older sister who thought I was dead when she heard the news of our accident before I went home. She wanted to go out to avenge us, but my master didn't stop her and let her go. I was afraid that she would act impulsively, so I must find her immediately!" Ah Jiu didn't have time to explain, and asked, "Did you see where they went?"

Meng Jianyu pointed in a direction, "It should be Luanshi Mountain, I heard... Ninth brother!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ah Jiu had already galloped away, and the thin white shadow that was going away quickly left him only a string of choking dust.
