Chapter 410: Father and Daughter Meet Again Inside the big tree was a secret passage leading underground, but after Xiao Tianming and Murong Xuan walked through the first section, they encountered a three-way intersection.
Xiao Tianming and Murong Xuan looked at each other, not knowing which way to go. Each way looked like an exit to the outside world, but it seemed that either the exit was a dead end.
"How about we decide by guessing? Who wins and who gets to choose?" Xiao Tianming said to Murong Xuan.
Murong Xuan smiled slightly, nodded and agreed, "Okay! We've known each other for so long, but it seems we haven't played guessing yet."
"Rock, paper, scissors!" Unfortunately, Xiao Tianming came out with a "paper", while Murong Xuan came up with a "rock".
"You win, you get to choose!" Murong Xuan said with a hint of cunning in her eyes, looking at Xiao Tianming.
Xiao Tianming knew that Murong Xuan lost to him on purpose, so that he could make this decision. After thinking for a while, Xiao Tianming pointed to the road on the left and said to Murong Xuan: "You are standing on my left, then we will go to the left
Let’s go! If it’s wrong, the worst we can do is become desperate mandarin ducks.”
"Then let's go! Anyway, I believe you are the one." Murong Xuan gave Xiao Tianming a firm look and continued to walk forward.
Xiao Tianming and Murong Xuan walked along this road for a long time, but in the end all they saw was a wall. They couldn't help but look disappointed on their faces.
"It looks like we are really going to be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks." Xiao Tianming looked at Murong Xuan and said with a helpless smile, a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes.
"Everyone is destined to die. I don't seek to be more important than Mount Tai, as long as I am with you." Murong Xuan stretched out her cold little hand and held Xiao Tianming's hand tightly, and said firmly but gently, "Now, although we
We have chosen a dead end, but we still have a chance to start over. The worst we can do is go back and start over."
"Can you really find a way out by going back and walking again? If a person doesn't become smarter, even if he is allowed to live a hundred times, he will eventually end up dead." Before Xiao Tianming could speak, an old voice came from above.
male voice.
"Who are you?" Murong Xuan asked sharply.
"Who are you?" The man smiled and asked Murong Xuan.
Murong Xuan replied in a bad tone: "Of course I am from the Murong family. Presumably, you are also from the Murong family, right?"
"Yes! I am also a member of the Murong family. However, I am a living dead who has been forgotten. The girl's voice sounds very young. She should not be more than twenty years old, right? Girl, can you tell me,
What's your name?" The male voice came from above again, but this time his tone was much more melancholy than last time.
"You are the senior and I am the junior. Even if you want to know my name, you have to tell me your own name first!" Murong Xuan said rudely.
"What a sharp tongue! Even if you don't say it, I know your name now." The male voice suddenly laughed and said to Murong Xuan with a smile.
Murong Xuan said disapprovingly: "Senior, I advise you not to be pretentious. Since you know my name, why bother to ask me? Senior, I have important matters to attend to, so I won't talk to you anymore.
.We bid farewell."
Murong Xuan took Xiao Tianming just two steps away when she heard the person above her say slowly: "Your name is Murong Xuan, and you are the eldest lady of Mangrove Forest. Your father, Murong Tian, died unexpectedly when you were eight years old; and your
Mother Yin Eunhui is only with you
You died when you were three years old. There is a less obvious scar on your left arm, which you injured while saving a bird when you were a child. In addition, you also had a master named Jing Yuan who lived on Lushan Mountain all year round.
Are you right to say these things about me?"
Murong Xuan's steps suddenly stopped and she said sternly to the person above her: "I'm sorry, you made a mistake. I am neither the eldest lady nor the Murong Xuan you mentioned. I am just a maid from the Murong family.
I took the wrong road to get here."
"Xuan'er, don't you really know who I am?" The man above suddenly sighed heavily and said with some disappointment, "However, I don't blame you. After all, you have not seen me for more than ten years.
You heard my voice."
Xiao Tianming saw Murong Xuan's expression suddenly change from the side, and couldn't help asking: "Xuan'er, what's wrong with you?"
Murong Xuan ignored Xiao Tianming and shouted excitedly: "Are you mine..."
"Xuan'er, you didn't expect that dad is still alive in this world!" Hearing the words of the person above, Xiao Tianming's face was full of surprise. If what that person said is true, then isn't he Murong Murong?
Where is the sky? In contrast, Murong Xuan, who was standing aside, looked unusually calm.
"I don't believe it. My father passed away more than ten years ago. Who are you and why don't you dare to come down to see us?" Murong Xuan asked loudly.
The man sighed heavily and said with a helpless smile: "Why don't I want to come down to see you? It's just that my feet are tied with heavy hammers, my ribs are pierced by steel bars, and my eyes are damaged due to long-term
You can't see anything in the darkness. Do you think it's possible for me to come down? If you don't believe me, you can test me with some questions!"
Before Murong Xuan could speak, Xiao Tianming asked first, "If you are Xuan'er's father, then you must know what is inside the ceramic cow you gave her as a birthday gift."
"Haha!" When the man heard Xiao Tianming's words, he suddenly laughed loudly.
"Why are you laughing? What's so funny about my question?" Xiao Tianming asked the man unhappily.
The man stopped laughing and said seriously to Xiao Tianming: "Okay! I will answer your question right now. What I gave Xuan'er as a birthday gift was not a ceramic cow, but a ceramic horse. What was inside the ceramic horse?
This is the secret map of our mangroves. It’s thanks to you that you were able to find this tunnel.
That map. In addition to these, I can also tell you that I know your name is Xiao Tianming, that you are Xuan'er's boyfriend, the biological grandson of Nangong Lie, the head of the Nangong family, and the biological son of the killer king Tiantian and Nangong Yu.
Murong Yu once sent someone to assassinate you, but he failed."
When Murong Tian said this, even Xiao Tianming had to believe that he was Murong Tian, let alone Murong Xuan?
"Dad, it's really you! Why are you here, and how did you become what you said?" After Murong Xuan believed Murong Tian's words, she suddenly became excited.
Murong Tian sighed and said helplessly: "I owe all this to Murong Yu!"
"Dad, do you think he did it?" When Murong Xuan heard Murong Tian's words, her beautiful face became scary with excitement and anger.
"This matter must start from twenty years ago." Murong Tian slowly recalled, "More than twenty years ago, the Murong family and the Nangong family that your grandfather was in charge of were the two most powerful families in the world.
When the other sects and aristocratic families saw it, they could only bow down. Although the two families were in the same place,
There were fights and conflicts in some areas, but overall everything was peaceful. However, all this was broken by an assassination operation by Murong Yu. Murong Yu led people to ambush on the road and attacked the convoy of the grandmother of the Nangong family returning home to visit relatives.
, killed the grandmother of the Nangong family..."
Seeing that Xiao Tianming's face was a little downcast, Murong Xuan couldn't help reaching out and holding his hand, and said to her father: "Dad, we all know this. Please tell me how you ended up like this."
"Xuan'er, do you know how your grandfather died?" Murong Tianchao asked Murong Xuan.
"Dad, wasn't my grandpa..." Murong Xuan glanced at Xiao Tianming and heard Xiao Tianming say lightly, "The head of the Murong family was assassinated and died by my father."
"Originally, I thought it was the same." Murong Tian sighed and said helplessly.
When Xiao Tianming heard this, he hurriedly asked Murong Tian: "What did you say? Wasn't it my father who assassinated the head of the Murong family?"
"Xuan'er's grandfather was indeed assassinated by your father in Heaven, but the old man was manipulated by Murong Yu before your father assassinated him." Murong Tian said angrily, "Back then, although your father was very powerful and was known as the best killer in the world,
But he's only in his early thirties. If the old man hadn't been poisoned and his skills couldn't be used at the critical moment, how could your father have succeeded so easily?"
"I didn't expect that he was so cruel that he even wanted to murder grandpa." Murong Xuan cursed angrily.
"Xuan'er, this is just a part of his plan. More than ten years ago, I accidentally received a letter. This letter was written by the forensic doctor who performed the autopsy on your grandfather before he was silenced by Murong Yu.
It was told above that your grandfather was poisoned. I didn’t believe it at first and was just about to investigate the matter, but I didn’t expect that he would preemptively attack me.
Imprisoned. I have been imprisoned here for ten years. If he hadn't obtained the secret from me that only the head of the family deserves to know, I would have died long ago." Murong Tian said to Murong Xuan, "
It doesn't matter if I die, but the Murong family must not be ruined because of his madness. Xuan'er, dad, can I ask you something?"
"Dad, tell me! As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it." Murong Xuan said firmly, partly out of respect for Murong Tian, partly out of hatred for Murong Yu.
"You and Xiao Tianming immediately left the mangrove forest and went to the foot of Yanji Mountain to find a woman in her forties." Murong Tian told Murong Xuan.
"Dad, if you don't tell me her characteristics, how can I find her? And how can she know me?" Murong Xuan asked doubtfully.
"Xuan'er, you don't have to worry about this. If she is still alive, she will come to you as soon as you get there. Moreover, she will also give you a big surprise." Murong Tian said solemnly, "Xuan'er
, the future of the Murong family depends on you."
