Chapter 1021 The Real Mastermind Behind the Scenes

To this day, he no longer wants to mention that person's name.

He never thought that one day his life would be connected to that person in such a way, which is extremely ironic.

"Regardless of whether the place is real or fake, I still decided to keep searching, maybe I can find some clues." Feng Qingbo paused, "As long as things haven't really come to a dead end, then That doesn't mean there's no hope at all."

Dazed for a moment, Xue Honglian lowered her eyes slightly. He didn't expect that people like Feng Qingbai would talk to comfort others. To say such things with his temper, I'm afraid he himself is not used to it.

Probably, this is a friend.

Regarding Feng Qingbai's words, Liu Yusheng agreed, "I agree with Feng Qingbai, no matter what others say, I will not give up until I personally confirm it."

"...Thank you." Xue Honglian said this to the two of them. Having grown up so much in this life, as Xue Honglian, he has never said thank you to anyone, so he looks stiff and awkward.

Liu Yusheng pursed her lips and smiled softly, diluting the a little dullness that had gathered because of the news that Miao Jiang was gone.

"What's your plan now, come with us or stay in this village?" Feng Qingbai asked.

Without waiting for Xue Honglin to answer, Liu Yusheng said, "He will continue to stay in this village. Didn't he say that the special envoy is coming in two days? If Xue Honglian is not here, what about Qian Yi? She is of pure blood, The envoy will definitely not let her go."

Feng Qingbai raised his eyebrows, "Since when is he a sympathetic person? If he chooses to stay, it will definitely not be because of that Qianyi."

Xue Honglian raised her eyes, not surprised that Feng Qingbai could see through his mind, sometimes the person who knows you best is your opponent. After fighting between them for so many years, Feng Qingbai knew him no less than anyone around him.

"There are many secrets in this village. I will not leave until the secrets are revealed."

"What's the secret? You stayed as an outsider. When the special envoy came, he couldn't be suspicious when he saw you. Even if there are members of the Holy Witch clan protecting you, the result may not be as you expected. It is expected that it will be uncovered safely. I am afraid that it will cause even bigger disturbances." Liu Yusheng is not very optimistic about his choice.

Ever since she formally stepped into Mocheng and was under surveillance from behind, she had vaguely guessed the temperament and behavior of the Xiliang Emperor. He was so afraid of people from other countries entering and leaving Xiliang, and the significance of the Holy Witch Clan to him was so great that he would never tolerate an outsider staying in the Holy Witch Clan, even in the name of a guardian.

Xue Honglian is not a naive person, she believes that he will not understand this. So Liu Yusheng was also curious about what secrets there were in this village that made Xue Honglian choose to take the risk and stay.

After hesitating for a while, Xue Honglian finally let go, "There are people in this village who can drive poison, such as centipedes and scorpions."

This sentence is enough for a smart person to generate countless guesses, and it's enough.

With his temperament, he was unwilling to say it before it was finalized, but he was even more unwilling to let two people who were really worried about him waste a lot of time doing useless work to find someone who might not really exist anymore. Mirage.

Sure enough, his words immediately shocked the two of them.

"It can repel snakes, insects, rats and ants... Isn't this a skill that people in Miaojiang understand?" Liu Yusheng was shocked.

Feng Qingbai said, "So you suspect that the members of the Shengwu clan are likely to be from Miaojiang back then, and even if not, at least they are related to Miaojiang?"

Xue Honglian nodded, "So I want to stay and see if I can find more evidence to prove my speculation. By the way, I once heard from the villagers that besides the holy witch clan in Xiliang, there is also a Gu doctor." Clan, it sounds like the name has something to do with Gu."

Feng Qingbai pondered, then nodded, "I will send someone to check over there, and I will leave it to you here. It is limited to one month, and we will meet here after one month.

Xue Honglian said, "Okay."

One month is not much time, but it is not short for people like them. Moreover, with Feng Qingbai's identity, it is impossible to stay in Mocheng for a long time, otherwise it will cause great fear in Xiliang Kingdom, and it may lead to other things.

In addition, he can't leave aside the state affairs at Nanling for too long, so one month is already the limit for Feng Qingbai.

The matter was settled, and the three separated on the spot.

Before parting, Xue Honglian handed a medicine bottle to Liu Yusheng, "This is the venom extracted from the Xijiang snake. It has the effect of paralysis. I have tested it. The effect is not inferior to that of Mabosan, and it is more convenient. As long as the dosage is appropriate, it is also good for the human body. There is no harm, and you can use it when you are curing diseases and saving lives."

When Liu Yusheng took the medicine bottle, Feng Qingbai's entire face was black.

Xue Honglian turned a blind eye, gave what she wanted, and then disappeared.

"I didn't expect there to be such a miraculous venom. I'll test it a few more times after I go back. If it's what Guren said, it will be very useful."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his waist tighten and fell into the man's arms. The man's face was dark, "Go back."

"..." Liu Yusheng couldn't laugh or cry.

On the way back, Liu Yusheng remembered one more thing, "Didn't you say that there are many people here in Xiliang who are spying on us? The people who should be in the guest room of the inn come back from the outside. Isn't it just arousing suspicion?"

"No, Wei Zi has already taken care of it. What happened will only be that the King of Nanling and his concubine went out on a trip, and halfway through the trick, he threw off his eyeliner. We are going back now, but we are just returning from a trip, so there is nothing to doubt." Feng Qingbai said lightly.

Naturally, he would not leave any loopholes when he did things, he had thought of everything the woman could think of, and he had done what the woman hadn't thought of. Even if those people were spying on them, they would have nothing to do with them, they would just be so angry that they would die.

The facts were indeed as Feng Qingbai expected.

When they went back, they entered through the city gate openly. When the city gate guard saw them, although they were surprised, they were not shocked, which showed that there was a connection between them and the spies. The guard is also one of the spies who watch over them.

Back at the inn, Feng Qingbai immediately ordered Wei Zi to inquire about the news, to find out from the local people whether Miao Jiang had really disappeared.

If so, they will continue to search, but the focus will no longer be on finding out the exact location of Miao Jiang.

To confirm Xue Honglian's conjecture is the most important thing at present.

If their guess is true, it proves that the Holy Witch Clan and the Gu Doctor Clan are really descendants of Miao Jiang, or are related to the disappeared Miao Jiang, then it also proves that Miao Jiang, which was originally independent from other countries, is very It may have been quietly taken over by Xiliang decades ago.
