Taiqing Sword

Chapter 273, Mysterious Butterfly

Shangguan Jinghong's words made several people fall into deep thought. Shangguan Jinghong continued: "I don't know if the two masters still remember what happened in the desert before. To what extent, we still can’t tell the direction in the desert. Every time we go wrong, it’s Die’er who guides us. We don’t know about the town, but we came here, isn’t it strange? I think Die’er must have been here, and more than once.”

Linghu narrowed his eyes: "Master, do you mean that she led us here on purpose?"

Shangguan Jinghong shook his head slightly: "I don't know, it's just a feeling, think about it, you and I are both wearing Persian costumes, it's easy to blend in here, but Die'er... has been wearing Hanfu all the time, so blink of an eye When we got here, we didn’t attract people’s attention at all, so why?”

"This……"

"I thought of an explanation. I may not believe it. They are pretending not to know each other."

Linghu was startled slightly: "This is impossible, isn't it?"

"Hehe, I'm just guessing, but I can't figure it out. We didn't know each other before, what's the purpose of her taking us here step by step." Shangguan Jinghong couldn't figure it out.

After listening to Shangguan Jinghong's words, Awareness and Juexin also agreed with Shangguan Jinghong's words: "Shangguan benefactor, we have no clue if we make random guesses here. It is an old monk's opinion, it is better to wait and see what happens. I have also felt it just now. , there is no special master here, even if there is anything, I will not be afraid."

Shangguan Jinghong sighed: "That's the only way to go, let's take a step and see."

When Linghu returned to the room, he saw that Die'er was still sleeping soundly, and she also lay down. Just when Linghu was about to fall asleep, Die'er beside him suddenly turned over, and Linghu also noticed the strange movement. Woke up, remained calm, and continued to pretend to be asleep until she heard Die'er's voice of going out, then immediately got up and opened the door to follow, but as soon as she went out, Die'er disappeared, and she was very nervous everywhere. Silence, Linghu sighed and turned back into the room.

After a while, hearing some noises outside the room, Linghu immediately lay down and pretended to be asleep again. Sure enough, Die Er came out on tiptoe, looked at Linghu, lay down carefully and continued to sleep.

Early the next morning, Linghu quietly told Shangguan about it, and Shangguan Jinghong nodded slightly, without saying anything.

Because of Die'er's variable, the original plan to investigate the dark council had to be put on hold for now, so he wandered around the town where China and Japan had nothing to do.

Finally one day Die'er couldn't help but asked: "Grandpa, didn't you say you have something to do? Why are you hanging around all day?"

The corner of Shangguan Jinghong's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought in his heart that you could really hold back: "Oh, I have already ordered Linghu to take care of the matter, I believe there will be an answer in a short time."

At night, Shangguan Jinghong was in the room, several people were in the room, suddenly felt someone was eavesdropping outside, the four of them looked at each other and smiled, Shangguan Jinghong asked: "Linghu, how is the matter going?"

"Master, the matter has been settled, and we can leave for the Central Plains tomorrow."

Shangguan Jinghong said: "That's great, let's go to bed early tonight and return to the Central Plains tomorrow morning."

After several people finished talking, Linghu came out of the room and returned to his own room. Die Er quickly came up to him: "Sister Linghu, have you finished your business?"

Linghu nodded: "Yeah, I haven't told you how do you know?"

Die'er smiled: "Benefactor told me that I haven't seen you for the past few days. Seeing that you came back so late, it must be done."

"Yes, we can return to the Central Plains tomorrow." Linghu lay down on the bed as he spoke.

Die'er looked at Linghu for a long time, then went out cautiously again, but this time Shangguan Jinghong was already waiting outside the room, watching Die'er walk out and then into another room, Shangguan Jinghong approached the room.

"Well, do you have any clues there?"

"I have no idea at all, and now another accident happened. It seems that their affairs have been settled, and they will return to the Central Plains tomorrow. What should we do?"

"What? No, they must not be allowed to leave. Find a way to hold them back."

"Procrastinate? How can we procrastinate?"

"In the past few days, while they were not in the room, I checked their luggage many times, but found nothing. Now I can be sure that the things must be on them, but now I am not sure who is on them. Their martial arts are according to what you said. , It's too high, we don't have enough manpower here, you have to find a way to hold them back, and I will do the rest as soon as possible."

"Hey! In this case, I have no choice but to use bitter tactics."

Hearing what they said was almost done, Shangguan Jinghong turned around and returned to the room. After a while, there was a shout from outside the room. Shangguan Jinghong rushed out, seeing Die'er seriously injured and fell to the ground, he couldn't help frowning. Is this a bitter trick? Is it a bit too cruel?
Shangguan Jinghong quickly hugged Die Er: "Die Er? How are you?"

Die'er smiled slightly and passed out.

Early the next morning, Die'er woke up slowly, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Shangguan Jinghong guarding her side. Looking at the thick dark circles under her eyes, she knew that Shangguan Jinghong must have stayed up all night, and a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes. The light of perception: "Grandfather..."

Shangguan Jinghong smiled: "You finally woke up, that's all right, what happened last night?"

Die'er frowned slightly: "I don't know. When I got up at night, I suddenly felt someone behind me. When I wanted to call someone, I was injured."

"Well, it's all my fault for not protecting you well. Don't worry, as long as I find someone who hurt you, I will definitely not let her go."

Die'er nodded: "Grandmother, I heard from Sister Linghu that I was going back to the Central Plains today, and I..."

Shangguan Jinghong shook his head: "Don't think about anything else, it's important to heal your wounds, and it's okay to go back to the Central Plains in a few days."

Shangguan Jinghong left Linghu to take care of Die'er, and went back to the room by himself, constantly thinking, what exactly does she want from me?Worth hurting himself so much, Ju Zhi looked at Shangguan Jinghong's gloomy face, and said: "Little benefactor, one person counts his own shortcomings, since we are traveling together, why don't you tell us if there is anything you want to discuss?"

Shangguan Jinghong nodded and told what happened last night: "I really don't know what they want!"

Awareness narrowed his eyes: "I'm afraid it's a parchment scroll!"

Shangguan Jinghong was slightly taken aback, quickly took out the parchment from his bosom, and nodded: "That's right, that's right, I'm afraid I only have this mysterious thing on me, and I brought the rest from the Central Plains, so it's not worth it." They worked hard."
