Ximending suddenly disappeared in the inn, and his clothes were still there, and the quilt on the bed was gone. When the window was pried open, it was obvious that it was kidnapped.

Yingting's heart was full of sweetness. She was reserved when she woke up early in the morning and didn't go to find Ximending, but she waited around and got up without seeing Ximending, so she couldn't help but knock on the door...

When he was sure that Ximending was kidnapped, an endless panic immediately filled his mind: Was he captured by the murderer of the Xuanwuzhuang family-killing case?

She has good kung fu, but she lacks experience in the world. This panic seemed to have caused her to lose her life goal and her heart was hollowed out. She stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Lai Changrong came to Yuelai Inn.

Although Lai Changrong was no less shocked than Yingtingai, he was much calmer. While arranging people to search for suspicious people in Jinling City, he notified some people to help with the investigation, including the Han escort owner of the Fulin Escort Agency and the ** Shenni in Qixia Temple.

Yingtingai gradually calmed down and quietly contacted Xiong Tianba, who had been staring at the Fulin Escort Agency, and asked him not to care about what his father Yingzaji had told him for the time being and to help search the traces of Ximending first.

She had a little fantasy in her heart that Ximending would suddenly come back, and she would not go anywhere, so she stayed in Ximending's room.

This was just right. At noon, the letter from Ximending was delivered to the inn.

When she learned that Ximending was fine, she felt relieved and her heart was regained. However, she was a little disappointed. When Ximending went to Hangzhou Tianji Pavilion, she didn't know when she would meet again.

The search operation was over. She rested for a night, calmed down and waited for her father to come.

Yingzhaji has sent her a message and will come to Jinling City in person soon. Don’t act rashly for the time being, just pay attention to their whereabouts.

***************

Four days ago, the second night of our sister Hua, in a secret room at the Fulin Escort Agency, Yu Wenlong and Han Xiaolin, as well as the elites from the two escort agencies, were sitting together and discussing what.

And at the table where they sat around was Yingzajito's dart, the long sealed iron box.

“…”

"Brother Hualong, since it has been verified that the robbery was done by the imperial court's Jinyiwei, we can only swallow this breath." Han Xiaolin, who looked like a heavy date, persuaded with a helpless expression on his face.

"Xiaolin, how can I still have time to take revenge now? Alas, I thought that taking such a red deed was a blessing for my Weilong Escort Agency, but I didn't expect that it would be a fire to burn my body." At this time, Yu Wenlong looked like he had become more than ten years old that night, his head was gray, his forehead was much darker, his face was pale, his eyes were covered with blood, and he looked extremely in a bad mood.

Han Xiaolin looked at Yu Wenlong with sympathy and sighed: "Brother Hualong, things have come to this point, and it is useless to think about it. Let's discuss how to deal with this iron box."

"Of course I know that it is because I don't know how to deal with it, which is a headache for me." Yu Wenlong glanced at the iron box on the table with complicated eyes and said solemnly: "This ward has obviously involved official battles, and it is likely to involve the spy war between the Ming and Manqing countries. My Weilong Escort Agency is now involved. If one of them is not handled well, it is a good thing for the closure of the Weilong Escort Agency. The life of hundreds of people in the Weilong Escort Agency may not be guaranteed. Alas..."

"Brother, I am a female person. There is a saying that I don't know whether to say it or not..." Han Xiaolin's wife Yu Wenyan looked at Yu Wenlongdao.

The Weilong Escort Agency has a semicolon all over the country, but it is not in Jinling City, a major Jiangnan area. There is no reason. Yu Wenyan is the real sister of Yu Wenlong. You can't compete for business with your brother-in-law, right? Moreover, the Jinling City Fulin Escort Agency has a century-old history. Han Xiaolin is even more versatile and has a lot of popularity in the world. Although he is greedy for money, a gentleman loves money and makes good use of it. He has good resources in all aspects, and has a good relationship with him. This is also the reason why Yu Wenlong encountered an escort robbery this time and felt that the situation was serious, and he sneaked all the way and fled to Jinling City.

Yu Wenlong smiled reluctantly and said, "Huayan, why are you polite with Brother Wei? Just say it just if you have something to do."

"Since this has happened, it is impossible for us to get rid of it. The key to deciding how to deal with this dart depends on what is in the iron box..."

"Uh? Did you ask me to open the iron box privately?" Yu Wenlong couldn't help but be stunned.

"Brother, I certainly understand the rules of the escort, but extraordinary things should be handled very well." Yu Wenyan looked at Yu Wenlong, paused for a moment, and then said: "We can ignore the battles in the officialdom, but if it involves between the two countries, we cannot stay out of the matter. Although we are civilians, as citizens of the Ming Dynasty, we should have our own position in front of the country and must not do anything that harms the country or sells the country..."

Hearing this, Yu Wenlong understood, and he couldn't help but interrupt, "Huayan, you're right. If there is really information about my secret Ming Dynasty in this iron box, I will definitely hand it over to the court..." Speaking of this, he reached out to touch the iron box, and sighed, "The foundation and reputation of my Weilong Escort Agency for hundreds of years will be pressed on the iron box."

The rest of the people stopped talking, but looked at the iron box with heavy expressions, because this small iron box was related to their future destiny.

If there is really information that is unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty in the iron box, then everything will be fine. They made a contribution to the Ming Dynasty and will definitely be commended by the court; and if it is just a personal item that Yingzai is not worthy of being a human being, then things will be very difficult to deal with. First of all, it violates professional ethics and is sure to have a damaged reputation. The key is to offend Yingzai and learn about his secret. Will the Weilong Escort Agency be opened in the capital in the future? Secondly, with huge compensation, breach of contract and return the Escort Agency, and invisibly offend the Escort Guard, who is even more difficult to mess with. Although they will not come out openly, they can use tricks secretly, and cannot compete with a small Escort Agency.

Yu Wenlong took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, reached out and "cracked", and the iron lock on the iron box had been broken.

But the iron box was covered with lead water and sealed. Yu Wenlong used both hands and could not do anything.

With a "swish", the sick-looking Chang Xiaotu pulled out a cold dagger from her body, and handed it over, and said, "General's head, try this."

Yu Wenlong reached out to take it, but he didn't say anything, but pried the dagger away bit by bit along the iron box.

Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone looked at it nervously. The secret room was so quiet that it was only heard that the metal scraped and made a harsh "squeaking" sound.

Finally, Yu Wenlong let out a long sigh and put down the dagger in his hand, and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Yu Wenlong's hands were trembling slightly, and slowly, little by little, opened the iron box that touched everyone's hearts.

The iron box finally opened, and everyone was shocked.

There was a sword and a slender sword lying flat in the iron box.

The scabbard is like gold but not gold, like wood but not wood, without any patterns, and looks plain and plain.

The hilt of the sword is carved like a piece of strange jade, with black green at both ends, and a middle part is almost transparent, with some patterns carved on it.

When they saw this sword, Yu Wenlong, Han Xiaolin, Yu Wenyan, and the people who knew this sword seemed to be fixed at the first time, staring at it with their eyes fixed on it.

Yu Wenlong was the first to react, as if he didn't believe what he saw, and took out the sword from the iron box, holding the scabbard in one hand and the hilt in the other, and slowly pulled it out.

The sword was pulled out less than three inches, and his expression condensed. He turned the sword over and saw it. The man stopped again and murmured: "It's indeed... Xuanwu Divine Sword..."

He stood up suddenly, pulled out all the swords, more than two feet long, but the sword body was extremely narrow, only one inch, and the whole body was extremely luster. Everyone felt a faint green aura lingering in the sword body.

And three inches from the sword body, on both sides, there are a small word "Xuan" and "Wu" engraved in seal script respectively.

Yu Wenlong inserted his sword back into the scabbard, and it was silent and seamless.

This sword is the sword of Ximending father, Ximen Xiaotian, the owner of Xuanwu Village, and the Xuanwu Sword, the leader of the three great swords in the world.

At this time, Han Xiaolin and his wife, as well as everyone present, had stood up and stared at the Xuanwu Divine Sword in Yu Wenlong's hand, with shock on their faces. Almost everyone thought in their hearts: Ah - Could it be that the Xuanwu Village family extermination case was actually caused by Ying Zhaji, the ambassador of the Manchu Qing Dynasty? This tragedy in the Jianghu area is related to the court's struggle?
