Zongwu: Saving Wu Meiniang at the beginning

"What if it's Chu Liuxiang? Chu Liuxiang is known as the Thief Master. With his martial arts skills and stealing abilities, he might be able to do these things."

"So, Chu Liuxiang did have contact with Ye Fan at the inn today. With his strength, it should be very easy for him to steal the jade pendant from Ye Fan."

"You mean, Chu Liuxiang would do something so obvious as to frame someone?" Zhao Shirong rolled his eyes. These two old guys would become extremely excited whenever there was a chance to fight. To them, as long as there was a fight, they didn't care about right or wrong.

"Hehe, aren't we just saying what you said? So is it possible that it was Ye Fan? The more impossible something is, the closer it is to the truth." As the representative of the two bastards, Dong Yijian has always been in charge of such important matters as communicating with people. He is adding fuel to the fire. Obviously, compared with a loach like Chu Liuxiang, they prefer to fight with Cangjian Villa.

"Okay, you two go and take a rest. I will take care of this matter myself." Zhao Shirong waved his hand in disdain. After watching the two old naughty boys leave, he started to play with the jade pendant in his hand with a headache. Not long after, Dong Yijian and Xi Yijian, who had just sat down, received Zhao Shirong's order, which was to go out and cause trouble.

Of course, if I say I am causing trouble, then I am just causing trouble. I can injure people, but I can’t kill them.

The target was naturally Ye Fan. Zhao Shirong thought it through. No matter whether Ye Fan was wronged or not, what appeared in the study room in the base was his, Ye Fan's jade pendant.

If it was really Ye Fan who did it, then we can give a warning. If not, maybe we can use it to lure out the person behind the scenes. Now there is only a jade pendant and there is not even a footprint in the room, which means there is no clue at all.

Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative. If the person behind the scenes can be exposed, it will be a good thing for the Power Gang.

Li Chenzhou's idea was to take advantage of this opportunity to prepare for a high-quality battle, but according to Zhao Shirong's intelligence, among those forces that came, there were almost no people who could sneak into the study silently, including Chu Liuxiang who was mentioned jokingly just now.

This study is the most heavily guarded place. Unless the visitor has the ability to break through the space, when thinking of this, a person suddenly popped up in Zhao Shirong's mind.

It was Wu Ming who fought with Ling Luoshi outside Taohua Fort. Zhao Shirong was also a witness. He personally stated that the way Wu Ming blocked Ling Luoshi in the end was not some swift body movement, but a kind of spatial ability.

But, Wu Ming, how is it possible? The most recent information about Wu Ming said that he was in the Five Saints Sect. How could he get to this place from the Miao border in such a short time?

Unless his spatial ability is abnormal enough to allow him to cross such a long area, or the distance is short but there is no consumption.

But, how is this possible?

Zhao Shirong quickly rejected the only correct answer and began to perfect her treasure-hunting plan.

Ye Fan was confused and his head was buzzing. First, his fiancée was taken advantage of, and then just after he was pulled out of the inn, the lost jade pendant returned by itself. Then, two old men wanted to beat him without any reason.

They insisted that he had lurked in someone else's base and stolen some secrets.

Ye Fan, who was already angry, naturally was not the type to accept things passively. Cangjian Villa had a long history, and all the disciples held two swords, one big and one small. The big sword was heavy, and the small sword was light. Once it was activated, the sword energy seemed endless.

Ye Fan was a disciple of Wang Yifeng, who gave him the Moon Burial Sword. In addition to the sharp sword wind, his true energy also had the icy attribute of the Snow Condensation Technique passed down by Wang Yifeng.

His strength is certainly not weak, but few people in the world know about it. Who would have thought that he has already become a grandmaster at such a young age.

Wu Ming was carried out to watch the show, and saw that Ye Fan was fighting against the two swordsmen of the East and the West alone, and he was able to remain undefeated for a short period of time. Of course, this also had a lot to do with the fact that the two men did not use any ruthless force, but this was enough to prove Ye Fan's strength.

The long street was filled with sword energy. The swordsmen in the east and the west were forced to expand their range, and then Ye Fan was knocked down. The two men looked a little embarrassed because they were not careful and their attack was a little heavier than they thought.

Tang Xiaowan quickly helped Ye Fan up and looked at the two people who had taken action with grief and anger: "Brother Ye Fan and I just came here, and our first stop was directly to the God of Wealth Inn. Since we entered the inn, we have never left."

"I went out earlier because I lost my jade pendant and wanted to find it. You attacked me without asking any questions. You are unworthy of being a senior in the martial arts world."

"Cangjian Villa and Tang Family Castle will definitely remember your kindness." After all, Tang Xiaowan is the second lady of Tang Family Castle. Although her strength is not good, she still has enough aura.

Especially Dong Yijian and Xi Yijian, they felt guilty after the fight. With embarrassed looks on their faces, they said something slightly tough and turned away.

"Humph, who can prove what you said? We only know that the jade pendant appeared in a key location of the gang, and the owner of the jade pendant is Ye Fan. Even if it is not him, he is guilty of negligence for losing such an important thing."

...............

Chapter 204: Method

Dong Yijian’s words before leaving made Ye Fan so angry that he vomited blood.

For Ye Fan, this was a completely unprovoked disaster. The pursuit by Tangjiabao and Badao Villa had not yet ended, so how could he possibly provoke a force like the Power Gang.

Not to mention that he has Tang Xiaowan by his side. This girl's martial arts skills are terribly low. With the support of Tang Family Castle, she has both martial arts and resources. So far, her strength is still innate.

Forget it, if you don’t like practicing martial arts, then just continue not to like it. + Ye Fan looked at Tang Xiaowan, who looked worried about him, and a doting smile appeared on his face.

Speaking of this guy and Tang Xiaowan, it was a destined marriage. Ye Fan ran away from home in anger when he was a child, and was then abducted by human traffickers to Sichuan. By chance, he entered Tangjiabao, where the two met. Afterwards, Tang Xiaowan fell seriously ill, and both thought that Tang Xiaowan would not live long. It was at this time that Tang Xiaowan expressed her wish. She said she wanted to see the snow in the north.

So Ye Fan, who was also a few years old, went north to look for snow, all the way to Tianshan Mountain, and broke into Wang Yifeng's secluded place.

As for who Wang Yifeng is, he is the current lord of the Evil Valley. He once slaughtered tens of thousands of people in a rage. His Snow Condensation Skill is unmatched in the world, and he is a legendary figure known as the Blood Demon.

The young Ye Fan scooped up snow in his hands and went back and forth several times, trying to carry the snow from the sky away. Although it was a foolish act of a child, his unwavering determination was seen by Wang Yifeng.

This is how the two of them became master and disciple. Many years later, Ye Fan left the Snow Valley, and Wang Yifeng had long disappeared. Unable to find his master, he naturally had to look for his lover. Ye Fan, who had always thought that Tang Xiaowan was dead, met Tang Xiaowan again by chance, and their earth-shaking love began.

Tang Xiaowan was moved by Ye Fan's infatuation, but still went against her father's arranged marriage. The two escaped from Tangjiabao and ran all the way to this border town, hoping to get out of the Tang Dynasty.

Find a quiet place just for the two of you.

But they met Wu Ming here. Would Wu Ming let Tang Xiaowan go? Of course not. Tang Xiaowan and Ye Fan were both main characters in the Swordsman series, and Wu Ming had long discovered that once a woman was a main character, the rewards she received would often be of high quality.

Take Su Rongrong for example. Su Rongrong is the well-deserved heroine in the Chu Liuxiang series. Logically speaking, the reward she gives should not be much higher than that of Li Hongxiu, but her disguise technique can be combined with the Hundred Changes and Thousands of Illusions.

This is thanks to Su Rongrong's huge popularity in later generations.

Anyway, she is not necessarily much better than other women, but her chances of getting good rewards are always higher.

Tang Xiaowan definitely can't escape. This is what Wu Ming said, and no one can change it.

"Brother Ye Fan, who do you think could have framed you, deliberately stolen your jade pendant, and then pinned the blame on you?"

"What do you think? Could it be that thief master who did it? We seem to have had quite some contact with him."

"No, it can't be him." In the room, Ye Fan, who had been helped to lie down on the bed, spoke very firmly.

This is the halo of a celebrity in the martial arts world. Chu Liuxiang's character has been tested by many parties. No matter whether it is Zhao Shirong or Ye Fan, as long as they know Chu Liuxiang, they will not doubt each other. The title of Xiang Shuai can be said to be very valuable.

"Oh, you said it's not, then it's not." Tang Xiaowan said gloomily. She was just a young girl, and it was her first time to go out into the world. She was thinking only of her lover. She finally thought of something, but it was rejected outright. She didn't even praise herself for her cleverness, what a stupid guy.

An inexplicable emotion appeared and Tang Xiaowan was stunned. She was not like this before. What happened today?

How come you have these weird ideas?

Tang Xiaowan shook her head and just in time heard someone knocking on the door. She opened the door and saw that the person at the door was Chu Liuxiang, whom she had just suspected.

Behind Chu Liuxiang were naturally Su Rongrong and the other two, as well as Wu Ming who was being held by Su Rongrong.

"Rongrong is an excellent doctor. I brought her here to check Brother Ye's injuries."

Chu Liuxiang was always so gentle and elegant. When he smiled, Tang Xiaowan actually felt a little ashamed.

How could I doubt such a person, who even came to help me specially?

"Miss Tang...?" Chu Liuxiang looked at the dazed Tang Xiaowan and called out helplessly, thinking that here was another woman who had been charmed by him.

"Oh, okay, thank you all, please come in." Tang Xiaowan stepped aside somewhat embarrassedly.

"Brother Ye, how do you feel?"

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Chu. I have already taken the secret elixir of Hidden Sword. Now I only have internal injuries that will be difficult to heal for a while. It seems that I need to recuperate for some time."

"Glad that you're alright. I saw that those two probably took into consideration the Cangjian Villa behind you, so they didn't dare to kill you. I wanted to help. But then I thought that even if we saved Brother Ye at this time, it would only intensify the conflict. It would be better to slow down and wait for the person behind the scenes. The person behind the scenes suddenly framed Brother Ye, and he must have his own purpose. If we rush, wouldn't we lose our composure?"

"Brother Chu is right." Chu Liuxiang's words made a lot of sense to Ye Fan. This kind of righteous man must have some concerns about the world in his heart.

Did the mastermind behind this simply want to frame him, or did he want to provoke a fight between Cangjian Villa and the Quanli Gang? Or did he offend the Quanli Gang at some point, and they were the ones who stole the jade pendant, and he was just taking advantage of the situation?

No, if the Power Gang was deliberately causing trouble, I wouldn't have suffered just such a minor injury. Wait, could it be someone from Ba Dao and Tang Jia Bao, asking the Power Gang to help hold me back?

The more Ye Fan thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and he immediately expressed his thoughts.

Chu Liuxiang had been in the underworld for quite a long time, and he wanted to hear the other party's opinion.

Chu Liuxiang was in deep thought, and Wu Ming listened. He didn't expect these people to have such a strong imagination. He just wanted to cause trouble for Ye Fan and have fun at the same time.

However, Ye Fan's idea seems to be correct. Since he was the one who took action and he has never provoked anyone else, aren't Tangjiabao and Badao the most likely ones?

It's a good thing that you can think this way. Otherwise, you can ask your subordinates to help you and do something else.

Ye Fan has run here, but the people from Tangjiabao and Badao are still silent. Could it be that these fools were tricked by Ye Fan and ran away somewhere else?

"Brother Ye Fan's idea does make sense, but speaking of this, I have to admire you. Tyrant Blade Villa and Tang Family Castle are not simple forces. You offended two of them at once, and you are not going to rely on your family. You are really amazing."

"Brother Chu, please don't laugh at me. I originally wanted to flee to the Thirty-Six Buddha Countries in the Western Regions, hide my whereabouts, and live a peaceful life with Xiaowan. I didn't expect to get hurt so soon."

"It's not convenient for me to move around right now. Brother Chu, can you help me take care of Xiaowan during this time? I need to find a place to heal my wounds."

"Brother Ye Fan?" Tang Xiaowan became anxious when she heard it.

"Xiao Wan, your strength is too low, and I'm injured now. This place is too dangerous. I don't feel safe leaving you to anyone."

"Brother Chu...?"

"Brother Ye has asked, so naturally I won't refuse."

"That's good. I have one more thing to trouble you, Big Brother Chu. Please disguise yourself as Xiaowan and leave with me. Once we shake off the pursuers, you can use your Qinggong skills to come back."

"Xiao Wan, please change your appearance too. After my injury is healed, we can blend in with the crowd leaving the Tang Dynasty."

Ye Fan quickly thought of a solution, and it was a solution that was very suitable for his current situation.

Chapter 205: Confession

After Ye Fan left, Tang Xiaowan remained silent. Out of humanitarianism, Li Hongxiu turned into a caring older sister and kept comforting her softly.

Su Rongrong used the remaining disguise materials to help Tang Xiaowan make a disguise mask. This was a unique disguise technique that Su Rongrong created by combining her medical skills. There are many disguise techniques in the world. The more cruel ones use human skin tanned masks, which are more realistic.

However, Su Rongrong's skin was obviously not human skin, but the disguise effect was so amazing that it was indistinguishable from the real thing.

For example, Chu Liuxiang, who followed Ye Fan away, looked exactly like Tang Xiaowan after being disguised.

And Chu Liuxiang probably won’t be back in the short term after he leaves this time.

This was suggested by Li Hongxiu, who said that Tang Xiaowan had been missing for a long time and would definitely arouse suspicion in the end. It would be better to let Chu Liuxiang disguise himself and stay with Ye Fan temporarily. This would protect Ye Fan while the two of them would attract attention. If the few of them stayed in the inn all the time, no one would keep paying attention to them.

After all, Chu Liuxiang's whereabouts are erratic, so even if he disappears for a while, it won't arouse suspicion. This makes Ye Fan's plan slightly more perfect.

Chu Liuxiang felt that there was no problem. In this way, he could protect Ye Fan while secretly investigating the mastermind.

Only Su Rongrong and Wu Ming understood what Li Hongxiu meant. This woman obviously felt that it was not appropriate to practice shooting with Wu Ming without restraint when Chu Liuxiang was around.

……

Early in the morning, the weeds were still lush on both sides of the canyon that had been shot at all night. Because it was a cold winter, the morning dew hanging on the tips of the weeds looked a bit like frost. No, it could not be described as frost, but should be pulp. After being forged hundreds or thousands of times, the white dew turned from clear to turbid, which made Wu Ming involuntarily think of a poem.

The chicken knows first when the spring water is warm!!!

Well, this sentence is indeed correct. When everything was quiet, a huge chicken head appeared above the canyon. The chicken head first stayed on the weeds at the edge of the canyon for a few times, and then plunged into the canyon with an astonishing momentum.

Behind the chicken's head is a tightly connected neck. This is obviously a hardworking chicken, coming to catch insects early in the morning. The feathers on its neck shine in the light, so eye-catching.

Early in the morning, Song Tianer came to see Wu Ming again. Chu Liuxiang had been away for three days. In these three days, for a woman who had practiced the anti-aging technique and formed the Yin Demon Seed, Wu Ming's attraction to her increased exponentially.

She couldn't bear it. She had to watch Wu Ming being taken away by Su Rongrong every night, and she was always kept outside the room with the crude excuse that she couldn't sleep well.

She also wants to sleep with Xiao Ming in her arms...Woo woo!

I pushed the door... but it didn't move, so I knocked instead of pushing. A familiar but slightly strange voice came from inside the door: "Is it... Tian'er...? Please... wait a moment."

Silence was Song Tian'er's this morning. After an ambiguous roar, Song Tian'er skillfully found a clean place at the door and sat down.

She knew that from now on, the real waiting time would begin.

According to Hongxiu's sister, they were teaching Xiao Ming martial arts. Although he was still young, he could start with Ji Ben's sit-ups.

In order to accompany Xiao Ming, they gave up their early bedtime and squatted beside him.

The roar every morning is because Xiao Ming is venting his morning fatigue after training.

I don’t know whether others believe it or not, but Song Tianer believed it anyway, because that roar always brought with it a sense of refreshing catharsis, and she couldn’t think of anything else except Sister Hongxiu’s explanation.

Not long after, the three of them came out of the room, their faces all with a little flush from exercise. Song Tianer shouted and directly snatched Wu Ming away, leaving behind a few words before leaving.

"I don't care. Xiao Ming must be mine tonight. They tied my hands and feet with ropes for fear that I would not sleep properly. As long as I can't move, I won't affect Xiao Ming's rest." Song Tianer took steps with her long legs, her feet moving quickly, obviously afraid that the two men would persuade her again.

"What should I do?" Li Hongxiu smiled bitterly. She knew that the excuse was too perfunctory, but apart from that perfunctory excuse, she really couldn't find any other way.

"Tell her. Tell her about Xiao Ming's physical condition and what happened that day."

"Only by telling Tian'er the truth can she realize the seriousness of the matter. At most, we can ask her to keep it a secret and not tell Brother Chu."

"I've already thought about it. After this time, I'll say goodbye to Brother Chu and then take Xiao Ming back to the sect to find my master. My master is an expert in medicine and maybe he can find a way to solve Xiao Ming's problem." Su Rongrong had already made a plan and was ready to confront Song Tianer.

"I also need to go."

"Of course I will take you with me. He's our little man." Su Rongrong would naturally not abandon Li Hongxiu. After all, she couldn't get a good rest alone.

If it weren't for the friendship she had with Chu Liuxiang, Su Rongrong would have brought Song Tianer along long ago.

"By the way, where is Miss Tang? Why can't I see her?"

"She should be practicing in the room. This girl is very cute and a little stubborn. After she realized that her own strength was lagging behind, she has been like crazy these past few days." Song Tianer ran back holding Wu Ming. As long as Su Rongrong and Li Hongxiu didn't snatch Xiao Ming from her, she still wanted these two sisters very much.
