"Uncle Fang? Why is he here?" Long Xin'er looked shocked. Although the Long family and the Fang family were secretly competing with each other, they were both wealthy families, so their relationship was usually good. What's more, the two families were once the Long family.
Tianchuan, Fang Lin arranged a baby marriage. If the Long family had not been destroyed, this marriage would have come true long ago.
"Perhaps the news has spread... This is also the effect we want to achieve... Now that the Lei family's matter has come to an end, let's meet this Fang Xie. Anyway, Xin'er will return to Beixi City sooner or later.
"Yes." Dongfang Fan pondered for a moment, thinking that what should come will eventually come.
At the gate of Dongfang Mansion, a strange old man handed a letter to Long Xin'er and explained: "This letter was requested by Fang Xie, the Lord of Beixi City, to hand it over to Miss Xin'er, and asked me to prepare everything."
Take the young lady back to Beixi City, and the Fang family will protect the young lady all the way back to her hometown."
Long Xin'er opened the envelope, and the concern and greetings in the letter made her feel the love and concern of an elder for the younger generation. How can a wanderer in a foreign land who has lost a relative not be moved?
"The door of the Fang family is open for you, waiting for your return at any time!"
The last sentence in the letter aroused countless homesickness in Long Xin'er's heart. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears and she was almost ready to cry.
"Go back and tell the head of the Fang family that I will take Xin'er to Beixi City tomorrow, so you should go back first." Dongfang Fan looked at the complete carriages and horses behind the old man, and was worried that there was a conspiracy among them.
"This..." The old man looked confused and looked at Long Xin'er.
"Old man, please go back first and tell Uncle Fang that Xin'er is doing well. Brother Dongfang said that he will take me to Beixi City tomorrow. When I return to Beixi City, Xin'er will definitely come to visit me. Please thank Xin'er first.
Uncle Fang's concern." Long Xin'er calmed down and seemed to reject the old man.
"Well, since Miss Xin'er said so, I will rush back now. Please take care of yourself, Miss Xin'er." The old man left with his carriage and horse. Dongfang Fan saw Lei Sheng off, and everyone returned to the main hall again.
Dongfang Fan drank the hot soup made by Nalan Wan'er, his expression was thoughtful, but he didn't speak. Long Xin'er, who was beside him, lowered his head and lost his mind. All he could think about was the past in Longmen, and his expression was slightly sluggish and sad.
"Brother Dongfang, I think... the Fang family moved too fast... Xin'er only announced his identity in Huaxia City at noon. Only two hours later, the Fang family had already sent people to look for...
...Not to mention how the Fang family was able to collect news about Huaxia City so quickly, just talking about the speed at which the old man came just now, if Fang Xie himself came, with his skill, he could indeed cross Beixi, Huaxia in a short time
The two cities are far apart, but here comes a hobbling old man... This shows that the Fang family may have been collecting information about Xin'er's whereabouts very early... and has even distributed people to Huaxia City and even other cities.
"Chinese..." Xia Youran's thoughts turned quickly and she discovered that the incomprehensible details were just a small key to the truth.
"The Fang family and the Long family are family friends. Maybe the Fang family just wants to find the orphan of the Long family... Xin'er, I think you are tired too. Go back and have a good rest. Let's go to Beixi City together tomorrow..." Dongfang Fan opened his eyes.
topic, Long Xin'er was stunned when he heard the words, nodded, and then returned to his room...
Under Nalan Wan'er's coercion, Dongfang Fan drank the hot soup completely, and then put away the Nine Tribulations Seal on the table: The man who called himself Xiao Se left after witnessing the battle between Dongfang Fan and the Sword God.
Dongfang Mansion didn’t even leave a message.
Dongfang Fan was walking alone in the back garden of his home, thinking about the significance of the Fang family's actions today. Unexpectedly, Xia Youran had been waiting for a long time in the rockery pavilion in the garden——
"Brother Dongfang, do you have anything to say to me? About... Xin'er..." Xia Youran sat on the stone chair, her figure tall and graceful, her eyes sparkling with wisdom and doubt.
"Oh? Tell me, what should I say?" Dongfang Fan sat down on the stone chair opposite and asked with a smile.
"It is true that the Fang family and the Long family may have been family friends, but after the original lord of Beixi City resigned, he designated the head of the Long family as the next choice for the city lord. The demise of the Long family made it logical for the Fang family to become the lord of Beixi City. If
The Fang family is the first to be suspected of being the real culprit of the Longmen murder case!"
"And the actions of the Fang family today made me even more firm on this suspicion... After the Longmen murder case, the Long family was burned to the ground. There were countless bodies of men and women, but it was difficult to identify their true identities. Is there any direct descendant of the Long family?
Ordinary people have no way of knowing whether a person has survived, but... the Fang family is spreading spies in Huaxia City... not so much to find the heirs of the Long family, but more to say... to kill people and silence them!" Xia Youran hit the nail on the head, and Dongfang Fan couldn't help but be moved.
.
"However, the Fang family doesn't know what to do and can't do this. It will only make people suspicious... This is a test. Fang Xie wants to know how much Xin'er knows about the truth about the Longmen murder case... If Xin'er knows nothing about the truth
, then, the action of protecting Xin'er can actually prove that the Fang family is out of suspicion... However, Fang Xie is still too anxious, otherwise, I may not be able to determine whether the Fang family is related to the Longmen murder case... Brother Dongfang, please stop hiding it.
Damn, I heard others say that Ximen Wujian personally admitted that he had lost to you twice. With the strength of the Sword God, you must have had your first fight with him in the near future, but why did you fight? Sword God
It is impossible for Zhi Gu Ao Duan to take the initiative to challenge you, and the Sword God comes from Beixi City and is a general under Fang Xie. The name of Long Batian from the Long family is resounding throughout Beixi. How can ordinary people take his life? Fang Xie is impossible.
Do it yourself, then the only way..." After Xia Youran continued to ask, Dongfang Fan knew in his heart: this matter can no longer be hidden.
"This matter... cannot be allowed to be known to Xin'er... With her character, she will never be able to hold back her hatred for Fang Xie after knowing the truth... Fang Xie is now the lord of Beixi City, and assassination is not an option... only
I tried to find a way to get Xin'er as close as possible to Fang Xie, and then when the latter was unprepared..." Dongfang Fan sighed, and then told Xia Youran what Ximen Wujian had confessed...
The two were silent for a long time, each with their own thoughts, but it was Xia Youran who spoke first: "I want to go to Beixi City too!"
"I know what you mean, and I won't stop you. However, if you and I go together, it will only make Fang Xie suspicious. Overtly and sometimes covertly, if there is an accident, we will cooperate with each other... But this matter must not make Xie Xie suspicious.
I know, otherwise..." Just when Dongfang Fan wanted to emphasize again, he saw Nalan Wan'er and Tong Que'er trotting over from not far away, and Dang even stopped the discussion.
"I also said where did you run away... It turns out that you are teasing Youran here... I worry about you for nothing..." Nalan Wan'er saw Dongfang Fan and Xia Youran sitting together from a distance and murmured in a low voice.
In one sentence, he made a face at Dongfang Fan and left with Tong Queer...
"Since Brother Dongfang has his own ideas, Yudie will naturally follow the arrangement. You will go on the road tomorrow. I will follow you secretly, hoping to settle the hatred in Xin'er's heart as soon as possible." Xia Youran left the garden after saying that, leaving Dongfang Fan behind.
A person is meditating on the spot...
The next day, Dongfang Fan and Long Xin'er each rode their horses to Beixi City, running at high speed for half a day. As soon as they arrived outside the gate of Beixi City, they saw the city gate wide open, two armies clearing the way, and a man wearing battle armor in the middle of the avenue.
, Sitting firmly on the horse, at first glance, he looks like a general, majestic!
"Is it sister Xin'er? Come on!" The general saw Long Xin'er and the other two in the distance. He immediately gave a suspicious sound and immediately drove his horse forward. In his sight, he actually saw Dongfang Fan, whom he had met a few times at the Unnamed Sword Tomb.
The second son of the Fang family - Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan had seen Long Xin'er, but had never looked squarely at the "Oriental Dragon". When he saw Long Xin'er, who was immature but had already begun to blossom, his eyes suddenly lit up and he stepped forward to express his concern.
"The last time I saw sister Xin'er was three or four years ago, right? I remember that I took Fang Lin to the Long family to meet Brother Tianchuan. The sister Xin'er I met at that time was still a little girl who made trouble everywhere.
, now a few years have passed and you have become a big girl. Even when I first saw you, I couldn't help but feel excited, haha!" Fang Yuan acted boldly and spoke boldly, trying to bring the relationship between the two closer,
Then he completely ignored Dongfang Fan behind Long Xin'er.
"Young master Fang Yuan is very impressed, but Xin'er... I look forward to the days without worries in the past... Take me to see Uncle Fang, I want to know something." Long Xin'er looked gloomy, and Fang Yuan's words made her think back.
From the original Long family...
"Okay, sister Xin'er is coming with me. Ever since Dad found out about your whereabouts, he has been waiting for you to come back at home. Don't worry, the Fang family has done a lot of investigating on the Long family's affairs since then. Details
I will let you explain the situation when the time comes..." Fang Yuan said with a smile, and when he was about to turn around and enter Beixi City side by side with Long Xin'er, he caught sight of Dongfang Fan behind him, and his eyelids suddenly twitched -
"Isn't this...Brother Dongfang who took two ancient swords in the Unnamed Sword Tomb? We haven't seen you for a long time, but he still has the same style! I wonder who Brother Dongfang and Sister Xin'er are?" Although Fang Yuan was surprised that Dongfang Fan appeared here.
, but he could only pretend to be familiar with it calmly, and he didn't know much about the connection between Dongfang Fan and Long Xin'er. Fang Xie suddenly recalled him and gave the order to wait for Long Xin'er at the city gate.
"Her guardian." Dongfang Fan cherished words like gold in front of Fang Yuan. The latter's despicability had already been seen in the Unnamed Sword Tomb.
Fang Yuan was naturally displeased with Dongfang Fan's indifference to him, but with Long Xin'er by his side, he couldn't help but respond with a forced smile: "So that's it! Thank you Dongfang for all this time."
Brother Dongfang has taken good care of sister Xin'er. However, since sister Xin'er has returned to her hometown of Beixi City, our family will be responsible for her safety and daily life. Brother Dongfang, please rest assured. My father has not reminisced with sister Xin'er for a long time.
, I won’t entertain you any more, and finally, I would like to thank Brother Dongfang again for taking the time to send Sister Xin’er back to Beixi City, and say goodbye.”
Fang Yuan cleverly separated the relationship between Dongfang Fan and Long Xin'er, and achieved the purpose of driving them away without using any words to drive them away. The words seemed reasonable, but it was not difficult to hear the faint smell of gunpowder in them.
"Master Fang Yuan, what Xin'er came to Beixi City to do this time was the Long family murder case a year ago. Brother Dongfang has helped me through all the difficulties this year. Xin'er has already regarded it as
As relatives! If Brother Dongfang doesn't come to Beixi City today, then Xin'er will have to visit again tomorrow!" Although Long Xin'er was deeply sad at this time, she couldn't let Fang Yuan make the decision, so she immediately said
attitude.
"This...sister Xin'er, don't get me wrong. I'm just worried that Brother Dongfang won't have time to go with him because he wants to explore the secrets of swordsmanship. If Brother Dongfang doesn't give up, why don't we go to the Fang Mansion together? The Fang family has many heroes, and they will definitely treat each other sincerely.
!Please!" Fang Yuan quickly changed his words, not wanting to leave a bad impression in front of Long Xin'er, and immediately took the lead into Beixi City.
Dongfang Fan and Long Xin'er followed Fang Yuan and entered side by side - a year later, Long Xin'er finally officially returned to his hometown.
