Although he accompanied Zi Xiu to the back hall, Wei Moyan couldn't take a single bite of the carefully cooked porridge and side dishes on the table.
Zi Xiu put down her chopsticks: "Don't think too much. After dinner, I will go with you to the water prison to personally pick up Miss Hongxian. If there is any misunderstanding, I will make it clear to you face to face. After all, we have been together for more than half a year. We are all trying to save face. What will happen in the future?"
Pass?"
Just as Wei Moyan was about to speak, a panicked voice with rapid breathing came from outside the door.
"Pavilion Master, something happened! Miss Hongxian escaped!"
The wine glass he just picked up fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Wei Moyan couldn't believe his ears and looked at the person who came to report the news in surprise: "What did you say?!"
"My subordinates went to the water cell during a routine inspection and found that the cell door was wide open. The young assistant was seriously injured and passed out on the ground. Now, someone has been sent to the doctor for treatment, but Miss Hongxian is missing..."
She is no longer here.
Ran away from himself.
Wei Moyan's dim gaze shocked Zi Xiu. If what happened was true, this blow would have been like a thunderbolt to him.
"It's not yet certain that Hongxian hurt someone and ran away. Maybe someone came to save him--" Halfway through the sentence, Zixiu suddenly realized that the consequences of these words might be more terrifying. However, it was too late to regret it. Wei Moyan staggered back and took a step back.
The anger surged wildly.
"Xi, Shao, Yuan!"
Either she injured Shaofu and escaped from the water prison, or Xi Shaoyuan came to rescue her after knowing that she was in jail. No matter which one was the truth, it was not the outcome Wei Moyan wanted to see.
Fortunately, he had been upset and worried about her all night, but he got such a ridiculous result.
"You see, even if you give her your heart and treat her well, the ending is just a joke. She is a heartless and unjust woman!" Wei Moyan's anger at this time far exceeded the pain, and he let go
Anyone who takes the initiative to love and cherish tramples on his self-esteem, shatters all his expectations, and then runs away without a trace.
"Go and bring me the young assistant."
"This... Pavilion Master, the young assistant was sent to the hospital in a coma. I'm afraid he hasn't woken up yet..."
"It's just that he fainted. There are ways to wake him up."
The cold and forbidding eyes were silently projected on the ground, and the strong sense of oppression was so frightening that the messenger couldn't even lift his head, and his knees softened and he knelt heavily on the ground.
"Pavilion Master, don't worry, I've already brought you." The deep and deep voice sounded from far away. It was Lu Hanhai who walked in with several disciples and the young assistant. Behind the crowd was a frightened Yun Yirong.
.
"Not only Shaofu, but also the guards in front of the pavilion were injured. They saw Hongxian injuring someone and running away with their own eyes."
"This morning, I went to inspect the water cell. I saw Miss Hongxian lying in the water and seemed to have fainted. I wanted to open the door to take a look, but she suddenly got angry. She injured me and ran out of the cell door. I am incompetent. Please punish me, Master.
..." Shaofu's face was pale, and there were still little blood stains on his chest and placket.
"Where is she?"
The guards following Lu Hanhai lowered their heads and trembled: "Miss Hongxian injured a few of us and then headed towards Lanling City."
Apart from Cheng Xiaobai, there was only one person she knew in Lanling City.
Wei Moyan took a deep breath, and his face returned to its usual cold expression.
"Initiate all the disciples in Lanling City to search for me, and send people to keep an eye on the official roads in Luoyang. If Hongxian or Xi Shaoyuan is found, report immediately. This matter is left to Hall Master Qiao, and no one else is allowed to do so.
Intervene!"
Giving it to Zixiu would seem to be conniving, and giving it to Lu Hanhai would also be afraid that he might do something secretly. After much deliberation, only Qiao Feixue, the leader of Tianshi Hall, could use it.
But, will she come back again?
The carriage carrying Xia Qingluan drove all the way into the city along the trail. According to Lu Hanhai's arrangement, he killed Xi Shaoyuan when he arrived at Tianya Villa, and then put the blame on Chonghua Gate.
The beloved woman colluded with a foreign enemy and fled, and then died at the hands of the enemy. In this way, both Hongxian and Xi Shaoyuan will become the people Wei Moyan hates most.
It was just that Lu Hanhai had no choice but to imagine that Xia Qingluan had escaped disaster due to his overly strong desire to survive. During that hour, Xia Qingluan actually spent most of the time immersing her mouth and nose under the water of the cold pond. Su Hexiang and
Although the poison of Dragon God Cypress suppressed her Qi veins, it did not make her completely faint.
After two sticks of incense, the carriage drove to the back alley of Tianya Xiaoju, the largest inn of the Cheng family in Lanling City. Four sneaky men in regular clothes looked around. When no one was paying attention, they immediately opened the car door and prepared to strike.
However, the carriage was empty, where was Xia Qingluan's shadow?
Taking advantage of the commotion when they first entered the city, Xia Qingluan jumped out of the narrow car window without disturbing the four people walking in front of her.
Compared to these ordinary disciples, her Qinggong was still superior, so Lu Hanhai underestimated her.
Lanling City has a large population, and pedestrians on the road dodge when they see the woman in white with a very ugly face. Some of them are bold and lustful and want to ask for help, but are frightened back by two cold and frightening eyes.
After all, he was poisoned. In addition to having a splitting headache, Xia Qingluan could not exert any strength. The poison mixed with Styrax and Longshen Cypress had begun to erode the veins. Although he would not lose his life within a few days, he probably would not be able to hold on.
Too long.
Xia Qingluan's feet were weak and she could only move slowly along the road while holding on to the wall. She also had to be wary of Lu Hanhai's men chasing after her. It took almost half an hour to walk on this short street. If she continued like this, she wouldn't be able to walk back to Poyue Pavilion even after dark.
of.
After discovering that he had escaped, Lu Hanhai would definitely search for him with all his strength. Now that he has no ruthlessness in his hands and is poisoned, it will be difficult to escape from the large number of people. He can only explain it clearly by sneaking back undercover, otherwise he will definitely be killed.
Wei Moyan misunderstood.
Thinking of Wei Moyan, the low mood drowned out the pain.
How many times have we stood side by side and fought on the Shura Road, thinking that we had a tacit understanding of each other, but never thought that just an unrelated stranger could make this tacit understanding and trust disappear. She still remembers the rainy day not long ago, when he said softly
We will stay together for the rest of our lives, huh, it's just a lie.
In his heart, the world is indeed more important. Perhaps as Lu Hanhai said, the man who loves her either does it for this face, or, like him, he wants to conquer the world and conquer the country.
Looking beyond the city gate, the towering attic in the distance was still vaguely visible even in the mist and rain. Through the mist, Xia Qingluan seemed to see the silent figure on the fifth floor of the attic, still without a trace of expression, drinking alone indifferently.
Who said that this whole life is now so far away?
There was a commotion in the bustling crowd, and he knew without looking back that it was Lu Hanhai's people who were chasing him.
Xia Qingluan stopped. She could no longer walk or hide. She could only use the strength she had accumulated temporarily to give herself a final try. Maybe she could carve out a bloody path for herself. Maybe it was about revenge, her brother's business, his business.
, I can only talk to you again in the next life.
The crowded crowd was dispersed, but the few people who caught up looked at each other in astonishment - Hongxian disappeared again.
"He was obviously here just now!"
"You can't run far, search separately!"
The voices fade away.
On the roof, two men in white clothes were hidden behind the ridge of the roof. A man holding a black broken knife held Xia Qingluan safely in his arms.
