Chapter 261
"Then what is this girl?" Xue Fan's eyes turned and fell on Heng Yu.
Heng Yu clasped his fists and said, "Qi Hengyu, currently temporarily serving as the secret guard of His Highness the Crown Prince."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qi Ling, Zuo Wu, the deputy lord, turned his head to look at her. However, Heng Yu had already returned to his lazy standing posture just now, shaking the folding fan and smiling at the few people.
Although I don’t know why the teacher suddenly changed his words, Qi Ling knew that she had her own opinions and nodded, “Thanks to the secret guards around me who are loyal to protecting the master, I can escape from the imperial capital and come to the Mingyue Sect.”
Xue Fan's eyes wandered on Heng Yu. He saw that the woman's internal strength was not high, but Su Hongnian was plotted to death, but she could live well, which must be something unique.
However, the internal strength is not high, so what's the use of other aspects?
Xue Fan stared at her for a while. Although she felt afraid in her heart, her fear was not high.
"Master Xue, can I bring the leader's guests to the Mingyue Sect now?" Zuo Wu asked coldly.
Xue Fan sighed lightly, "Although the leader was unfortunately distressed, his guests were the guests of Mingyue Sect. Please, please." He took two steps to the side and gave up his position.
Behind the platform is a secret passage. Bypassing these tens of meters of secret passage, I saw the sun again. The overall appearance of the Mingyue Cult's General Assembly entered Hengyu and Qi Ling's sight--
The most spectacular palace is built beside the mountains, with four smaller palaces surrounding it in four directions. The densely packed wooden houses are built between the mountain walls, and there are also many caves in the dark.
This layout is very conducive to alertness. If the enemy mistakenly enters the Mingyue Sect but does not know the internal layout, even if the enemy has high martial arts skills, he will probably have no return.
Zuo Wu obviously entertained Qi Ling and Heng Yu according to very high specifications, and led the two of them to the peak where the main hall was. Entering through the side door and bypassing several corridors, Zuo Wu pointed to the door of a small courtyard and said to the two: "Your Highness, Miss Qi, you can rest here for a while, I will send someone to serve you."
"Please trouble the left altar master and the deputy altar master." Heng Yu clasped his fists and said.
Zuo Wu nodded, and the four of them entered the courtyard. Zuo Wu blinked his finger and closed the courtyard gate with his internal force. He was alert to perceive and perceived the surroundings. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, Zuo Wu said slowly: "I will introduce the current situation of the Mingyue Sect to Miss Qi first."
"In Mingyue Sect, the people whom the leader trusts the most are the left guardian and me. Although the right guardian and the other three altar masters surrender to the leader, they have frictions with each other. They do not obey each other on weekdays, and they all rely on the leader to shock them. Therefore, after the leader suddenly died, chaos will occur within the Mingyue Sect."
Three months ago, when the leader of the Mingyue Cult ordered the left guardian Su Hongnian to lead the Mingyue Cult to the capital and rescue His Royal Highness the Prince, he felt that his internal strength had improved, so he decided to go into seclusion and break through the realm.
The place where the leader was in seclusion was in Houshan Cave, where people were guarding it all year round and were heavily guarded. At that time, Zuo Wu led the people to resist the imperial army in Baocheng. When he learned that the leader was assassinated in seclusion, it was already five days later.
Then Zuo Wu hurriedly explained what he had at hand, and he took the deputy lord back to the lord of the lord to investigate the assassination of the lord.
It’s a pity that he came back a little late. The key evidence may have been dealt with by the thief. Anyway, he has not found any of them...
Zuo Wu's words explained the causes and consequences, and he did not propose anything valuable at all. He did not expect Heng Yu to analyze anything with this. After saying that, he planned to get up and say goodbye and leave.
"The Lord of Zuotan has been leading the peasant uprising, and he should know that the world is going to be in chaos." Heng Yu suddenly spoke, and her words temporarily dispelled Zuo Wu's idea of leaving.
"The Mingyue Cult has many strange people. Among the scholars, some are good at the art of Qimen Dunjia, some are good at dispatching troops, and some are strong in martial arts. They even control many small groups of peasant uprising troops."
"I have known the leader of the Mingyue Cult before. He is righteous and resolute. Although he is righteous and resists the tyranny of the court, he himself has no ambitions. The four major halls of the Mingyue Cult are leading uprisings, but they have never been able to integrate into a huge force. The fundamental reason is that the leader himself does not have the idea of integrating."
In troubled times, those with strength but no ambitions will inevitably end up being coveted and annexed.
——There is no exception.
Zuo Wu was silent for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked directly at Heng Yu. "What does Miss Qi mean?"
Heng Yu said: "Before making a judgment, I want to confirm something with the Lord of the Left Altar. A few months ago, the people of Xuandao Sect discovered traces of the Mingyue Sect within their sphere of influence. I want to ask if there is any such thing?"
If this is not the case, then the person who appeared in Xuandao Sect that day and the man in black who killed the eldest senior brother should be people from the court.
And he is a court-in-law who is eyeing the world and ambitious.
Heng Yu has confirmed the answer from Zuo Wu's expression.
Heng Yu then gave a conclusion, "Some people are coveting the power of the Mingyue Sect, and there are people in the Mingyue Sect who are in the inside and outside. Whoever is eyeing the position of the leader and most likely to come into contact with the people in the court is the most suspicious."
"Xue!fan! Is it really him?" Zuo Wu said word by word.
Zuo Wu's eyes showed a bit of hatred. The leader of the Mingyue Sect was as kind as a mountain. Whoever killed the leader would be his great enemy.
The deputy altar master who had been sitting quietly next to him was not completely led by Heng Yu's words. She raised her head and her eyes fell on Heng Yu's face, "Someone is coveting the power of the Mingyue Sect, don't the girl covet it?"
"Of course I covet it." Heng Yu replied very calmly, "but I don't want to use weird means."
The deputy altar master sneered, "Although the right guardian, the three altar masters all suspect that they are hurting the leader, they have made great contributions to the Mingyue Sect. If they are the leader, at least the church will be convinced. Miss Qi wants to be the leader, how can she convince the church? "
Heng Yu suddenly sighed and said in a shocking voice, "I want to be the leader, which is also the adoptive father's last wish."
Adopted father?!
Zuo Wu and the deputy altar master looked at each other, their eyes were shocked and confused.
"The leader... is my adoptive father. The adoptive father and my father were loyal to each other and became sworn brothers. Because the adoptive father was empty, he recognized me as his adopted daughter. After learning about my talent for martial arts, he frankly said that he would train me to be the young leader of the Mingyue Sect."
"It's a pity that my father died of illness later, and the Mingyue Sect was denounced as the Demon Sect by the righteous path... good fortune is aroused."
Heng Yu pinched his head and ended, sighed a few words, allowing Zuo Wu and the deputy lord to make up for the rest of the contents themselves.
As for people, sometimes they don’t necessarily believe what others say in person, and they believe in many things they have made up for.
Qi Ling, who was sitting by the side listening, was already in a daze...
Now what kind of god is unfolding?
As for the Zuo Wu and the deputy altar master, they were also caught off guard by the news.
"What credential does Miss Qi have?" After a while, Zuo Wu raised his eyes and stared at Heng Yu.
"I have a peerless sword technique, which was specially found by my foster father." Before he finished speaking, Heng Yu's sword was unsheathed. She lightly tapped her toes and jumped into the sky. As the sword danced, it was beautiful.
After only half of the sword technique was displayed, Heng Yu stopped and walked to Zuo Wu, "After my father passed away, I have only one relative left in this world. After I was expelled from the master of the Xuandao Sect, I planned to come to Mingyue Sect to join my adopted father. Unexpectedly, I met Guardian Su and His Royal Highness Su and His Royal Highness the Prince. Now these things have happened to my adoptive father..."
"I took out evidence from Zuotan. I don't have any evidence to prove myself, but I have a piece of dark jade that I have given to me by my adoptive father."
Heng Yu took out a piece of black jade with "Zhan" engraved in his arms and gently handed it to Zuo Wu's hand.
Her gentle movements and the act of placing Mo Yu close to her body show her cherishment of Mo Yu.
However, after hearing this, Qi Ling could confirm that his teacher was fooling people - because that black jade was his.
The word "Zhan" engraved on the black jade is his nickname.
And coincidentally, the name of the leader of the Mingyue Sect also has the word "Zhan".
Zuo Wu's expression was shocked, and he didn't know what he had thought about it. He quickly stood up and bowed to Heng Yu, "I didn't know that it was the young leader who returned."
Did you recognize her identity so readily?
Heng Yu raised his eyebrows and a little puzzled look appeared on his face, "Did your adoptive father mention me to the Lord of the Left Hall?"
"Although the leader has never mentioned Miss Qi, he has revealed early that he has chosen the next leader of Mingyue Sect."
Heng Yu blinked. If she expected it was right, the candidate for the next leader of the Mingyue Sect should be the one in the sect. However, Zuo Wu was misled by her, and subconsciously felt that the person she was talking about was her.
It's really hard to do brain supplements.
That night, after Qi Ling had dinner, he went back and forth in the yard for a few times, but still ran to knock on the door of Hengyu's room.
He entered the room and found Heng Yu painting at his desk.
On the drawing paper is a young woman, with her eyebrows and eyes similar to Heng Yu herself, but she is a little more immature than she was at this time - she should have painted her when she was thirteen or fourteen years old.
Teacher, this is...
Heng Yu fell the last stroke, changed a brush, dipped it ink and wrote the four words "Love Girl Heng Yu" in the lower right corner of the scroll.
Put down the brush, Heng Yu picked up the dried scroll, and then asked Qi Ling to take out all the incense from the incense burner and throw the unknown fine weeds on the table into the incense burner.
But for a moment, a pungent smoke came out. Heng Yu and Qi Ling each held one end of the scroll and baked it on the incense burner.
After being exposed to the pungent smoke, the originally brand new white scroll turned yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After Heng Yu thought about it, he took the scroll by himself and asked Qi Ling to clean up the things in the incense burner. When Qi Ling walked back to the table, he saw that there were some traces left by frequent strokes on the smooth and flat scroll.
It was clearly a painting that had just been drawn, but if Qi Ling hadn't known the truth, he would have thought that this scroll had been painted for at least two or three years, and would have been often taken out and touched and watched.
"Teacher, this is..."
"What I said today is still too flawed. I can only make a fool of myself for a while. As long as I think about it, I will not stand it. This is the evidence for the Mingyue Church." Heng Yu rolled up the scroll, tied it up carefully, and shook it casually, "I'll go and go back."
Heng Yu pushed open the door and walked out of the room under the moonlight. When Qi Ling trotted to the door, Heng Yu was no longer in the night.
Qi Ling just felt his heart beating.
Of course he understood why the teacher called him a Mingyue sectarian woman—
The sect is extremely xenophobic. If she does not have the identity that can be accepted by the Mingyue Sect, even if she finds out the person who killed the leader, the Mingyue Sect will never sit by and watch her take over the Mingyue Sect.
Time had only passed for a while, but Qi Ling felt that it seemed that a long time had passed. He stood halfway through his body and felt a little numb.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Heng Yu, wearing a black long skirt, appeared slowly in Qi Ling's sight again while walking on the moonlight, with her expression as leisurely as if she had just returned from a walk outside.
"Go back and sleep." Heng Yu waved his hand to him and told him to go back soon.
"Teacher..." Qi Ling scratched his head, "Where did you stuff the scroll?"
"What's there to be curious about this? The process is not important, just wait and see the result." It's just a hidden enough that no one will go through it on weekdays, but only in this corner that will turn around when it is necessary to prove something.
There are not many corners like this, but it is not without them.
Qi Ling's face drooped, he was still curious, but the teacher was too lazy to talk, and he knew that he could not ask any questions.
So Qi Ling had to walk back to his bedroom with heavy steps.
【Zero, is it fun to tease children?】
Heng Yu stretched his waist lazily and closed the door of the room, "Can you spoil this?"
Qi Ling doesn't need to understand some mysterious tricks, let alone learn them.
He only needs to learn the way of the emperor.
