Aspirations

Chapter 168

The hatred in Mantuo's heart gradually disappeared. If Xie Jianhua hadn't blocked the fatal blow for her, she would be the one who would die. She heard Xie Jianhua's implication: "What did you say? You said that Daddy had a request Heart of death?"

"Miss Mantuo, don't you want to forgive me?" Xie Jianhua's eyes blurred, and his eyes began to wander.

Man Tuo bit his lips, suppressing the grief in his heart: "I forgive you."

"Thank you." Xie Jianhua breathed his last breath with relief.

"It's good, it's good. When is it time to repay the grievance, it's better to resolve it with a smile." A Taoist horn rang, and a Taoist priest and an old man appeared slowly. The Taoist came up to him, took a look at Xie Jianhua, clasped his hands together, "Your wish has been fulfilled, you don't need to miss the world any more, just go to rebirth."

Strange to say, Xie Jianhua's clenched hands suddenly loosened, the sad expression on his face disappeared, and his expression was calm and peaceful.

Xia Xiang didn't know the Taoist priest, but he knew the old man behind the Taoist priest. He was both surprised and delighted: "Mr. Jin Jia, why are you here?"

Mr. Jin Jia nodded, and sighed again: "Xie Jianhua, Xie Jianhua, you have this calamity, and it is also your destiny. The things in the world, the entanglement of grievances and grudges, say that the only death in the ages is hard, but in fact, there is death. Why are you afraid? I am afraid that I will not be free even if I die.”

After finishing his emotion, Jin Jia introduced the Taoist priest to Xia Xiang: "Come on, Mr. Xia Lang, Mr. Ye Muping, Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye, Mr. Xia Xiangxia County. This is Mrs. Mantuo, this is Xiao Wu, this is Mrs. ……who are you?"

Zheng Xiangan nodded: "I'm next, Zheng Xiangan."

"Oh, he is Zheng Xiangan who doesn't know where he came from and what he does." Jin Jia introduced Zheng Xiangan perfunctorily, and then asked with concern, "Miss Mantuo, Xiao Wu, come, let the old man check it out." injury."

Ye Muping?The legendary fairy?Xia Xiang was startled, and looked at Ye Muping secretly, and saw that although Ye Muping had a calm demeanor and a fairy-tale demeanor, other than that, he was no different from ordinary people. The light flickered, and he couldn't help being slightly disappointed.But this is not the time to ask Ye Muping about immortal arts, he is busy with Jin Jia to check where Man Tuo and Xiao Wushang are.

Man Tuo spent too much energy, which affected his internal injuries and vomited blood.However, Xiao Wu was full of skin and flesh. At first glance, his body looked bloody and full of scars. In fact, his injuries were not serious, and he would recover after a few days of recuperation.External injuries are easy to heal, but internal injuries are difficult to heal. If Man Tuo wants to recover his energy, it will take at least ten days and a half months.

Ding Ke led a team of yamen servants to rush here. Seeing that the scene was in a mess, he knew he was a step late, so he hurriedly pleaded guilty to Xia Xiang.Xia Xiang didn't blame him either, running faster than a horse.He asked Ding Ke to chase all the way along the rut, and then arranged government officials along the road to search carefully.

Before he had time to ask Jin Jia and Ye Muping why they came here and why they came here, Xia Xiang asked Xiao Jia to stay and accompany Mantuo back. Chase the carriage that hijacked Lian Ruohan.

Although Man Tuo didn't want to go back, but he had just fought and exhausted all his strength, and if he followed Xia Xiang and others, he might become a burden, so he had no choice but to agree.She told Xia Xiang: "Master Xia must be careful, the person who took away Fang Shiniang just now should be Yan Hao."

Although Xia Xiang had already speculated about the relationship between Fang Shiniang and Yan Hao, he still had some doubts: "Are Fang Shiniang and Yan Hao the same people?"

"Fang Shiniang may not be on the same side as Yan Hao, but an enemy's enemy is a friend." Man Tuo doesn't think that Fang Shiniang and Yan Hao are in the same camp. Why does Fang Shiniang insist on killing Xia Xiang? I am also puzzled.

Xia Xiang and his party entered the village, the village was sparsely populated, and the streets were empty.Several people rode their horses and galloped, and quickly passed through the village and came to the field. Only Ding Ke and a group of yamen servants were scattered and searched separately.

Zheng Xiangan got off his horse, lowered his head to check, got on his horse again, galloped forward for a mile, and reined in his horse and stood on a high hill.

Although the Gaogang is only about two feet high, in the plains, standing on the Gaogang, you can have a panoramic view in all directions for a radius of more than ten miles.On the plain land, apart from a few villages, there are endless fields.In the field, there are still a few farmers working in the field.On the country road, there are pedestrians and ox carts, but there is no carriage or horse.

Seeing Zheng Xiang'an's serious face, Xia Xiang felt slightly uneasy: "What, Mr. Zheng?"

"The rut disappears here, it's strange." Zheng Xiangan got off his horse and checked again, shaking his head, "It seems to have disappeared out of thin air, it shouldn't be, it's too strange."

Ding Ke and others also followed. Ding Ke, who has rich experience in handling cases, also found something unusual: "Master Xia, the carriage seems to have disappeared suddenly when it arrived here. The subordinates suspect that the carriage is hidden in Yuanjia Village."

"Where are you going if you don't hide in Yuanjia Village? Could it be that a few carriages can go up to the sky?" Jin Jia was also very worried about Lian Ruohan's safety, so he glared at Ye Muping, "Ye Zhenren, Ye Shenxian, Quickly pinch your fingers and figure out where the lady is hidden? You are a god, and a god is omnipotent."

Ye Muping smiled unhurriedly: "Don't worry, caring will lead to chaos, and chaos will lead to changes. Lian Niangzi is destined to have such a catastrophe. Originally, she was doomed to escape this catastrophe..."

"Ah?" Xia Xiang was taken aback, anxious, "Does Ye Zhenren mean that even the lady's life will be in danger?"

"God's will is hard to disobey, life and death are fate..." Ye Muping shook his head, but he had a serious expression on his originally smiling face, "Within three hours, if I find Mrs. Lian, Mrs. Lian may be still alive." You can turn the crisis into safety. If you can’t, you can only rely on Lady Lian’s own good fortune.”

"It doesn't take three hours, but within one hour, Mrs. Zheng can rescue Mrs. Lian unscathed." Zheng Xiangan laughed, full of pride, "Master Xia, if you believe Mrs. Zheng, let Mrs. Zheng dispatch Ding Zuo The head and the servants."

Xia Xiang nodded: "Mr. Zheng please."

Zheng Xiangan executed the order as soon as he had the power in hand, and immediately said: "Ding Butou, you take all the yamen servants and search from the east to the west of the village in Yuanjia Village. I will give you half an hour. Once the half hour arrives, immediately Take the yamen servants and leave quickly, there must be no mistakes."

"This..." Ding Ke didn't know what Zheng Xiangan meant, and looked at Xia Xiang hesitantly. Seeing Xia Xiang nodded firmly, he waved his hand and shouted, "Brothers, come with me."

The servants followed Ding Ke and returned to Yuanjia Village.

After Ding Ke entered the village with a few people, Zheng Xiangan got on his horse and said, "Master Xia, please come with Zheng."

Jin Jia murmured, "Who is he? He is mysterious. With Master Ye here, how can he pretend to be a ghost? I really don't understand. Mr. Xia Lang, Mr. Xia Xianzun, don't worry, wait for the old man. Ye Real man, Ye Laoer, why are you running so fast?"

Several people rode their horses to the entrance of the village. Zheng Xiangan got off his horse and saw an abandoned yard by the roadside, so he tied the horse inside.

Jin Jia was very puzzled: "Why tie up the horse? If we find Mrs. Lian later, if the other party is riding a horse, how can we chase her?"

"If there is no accident, Lian Niangzi is not in Yuanjia Village." The abandoned courtyard has been in disrepair for a long time, and the courtyard is full of weeds. The dilapidated house is still crumbling. Zheng Xiangan gently closed the creaking courtyard full of holes. She opened the door and looked outside, "If you want to know where she is, you'll find out later."

"Scare the snake!" Xia Xiang figured out Zheng Xiangan's intention, "What Zheng Langjun means is that Mrs. Lian may not be in Yuanjia Village, but the people who kidnapped Mrs. Lian are there, and as long as they lead them out of the cave and ask, they will know her whereabouts." gone?"

"Exactly." Zheng Xiang'an smiled slightly, and said approvingly, "Xia Xianzun is really amazing, and given time, the trial and judgment will come easily."

"Mr. is omnipotent. Didn't Mr. Fu Ke's case be a shocking trial? If there is no Mr. Dong, not only will Dong Xian die in vain, but I don't know what ghosts and snakes are hiding in the real dragon's pool and tiger's lair."

"Pindao also heard that Xia Xianzun can judge yang every day and yin at night, is there such a thing?" Ye Muping smiled curiously.

"It's just a legend. I'm just a mortal body. How can I have such abilities?" Xia Xiang shook his head when he heard the sound of chickens flying and dogs barking outside, "I heard that the yamen servants are like tigers. .”

When half an hour came, the sound outside immediately disappeared, Zheng Xiangan quietly pushed open the courtyard door, looked around, and smiled mysteriously: "It's time for us to get out."

Several people followed behind Zheng Xiang'an and left the yard. The street was empty. If it wasn't for the messy footprints on the ground and the vegetables and leaves thrown everywhere, it would make people suspect that it was an uninhabited village.

Yuanjia Village is not big, a street runs through the whole village, and you can see the end at a glance, at most more than thirty feet long.Several people walked along the street, and halfway there, there was still no one. Xiao Wu couldn't hold back, and pulled Zheng Xiang'an's sleeve: "Mr. Unfortunately, do you want to apologize with death?"

Zheng Xiang'an spread his hands together: "Even if the lady wants something else, it's her doom. What's the matter with Zheng? Zheng is dedicated to saving people, and he just listens to the destiny."

"Xiao Wu, don't worry." Xia Xiang noticed the abnormality in Yuanjia Village. If it was an ordinary village, how could there be no one on the street? Even at night, there would be no one missing. There must be something strange here. He turned and looked at Ye Mu Ping, "Maybe Ye Zhenren can figure out whether Lady Lian is safe now?"

"Everyone in the world has a fixed lifespan. The so-called seven lives and three lucks, only [-]% of a person's life can be changed. But even the lady is not an ordinary person. She is so rich, she must have a mission when she comes to this world. Humans are not ordinary people, just like Xia Xianzun, he must have a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so he has to go through hardships."

"Going through hardships?" Xia Xiang smiled wryly, "Easier said than done, right now even my wife is being kidnapped, it's really going to be a storm, can I ask Master Ye to give me some advice on what to do next to make the wind and the waves break? Sail to help the sea?"

Ye Muping caressed his beard and smiled: "I have seen that since ancient times, sages and virtuous people perish without retreating. Zixu abandoned Wujiang, and Qu Yuan finally threw himself on the shore of Xiangshui. How can Lu Jixiong protect himself? Li Sishui's suffering is not early. Huating Can you hear the cranes chirping? How can the goose eagle in Shangcai be able to talk? Don’t you see that Zhang Han in Wuzhong is called Dasheng, and the autumn wind suddenly recalls the trip to the east of the river. Let’s enjoy a glass of wine before death, why do we need to be famous for thousands of years after death?”

Li Bai's "Difficult Journey" Xia Xiang has been memorizing it by heart since he was a child. Now he speaks it from Ye Muping's mouth in a gentle and unhurried voice, which has a special flavor. Journey is difficult, Journey is difficult. Now he really has the heart to look around with his sword drawn Feeling dazed.

"Here comes the snake." Zheng Xiangan suddenly stopped and hid behind a tree.Not far away was a courtyard near the gate. As soon as the gate opened, two people came out. Both of them were in their forties, with goatees and deer-headed rat eyes. They were both black and thin.

The two put their hands into their sleeves and looked around on the street. One of them said: "Li Xiaosi, the yamen servant just now is from the Zhending county yamen, right? Isn't it under Cui Fuzun?"

The person known as Li Xiaosi smiled: "How could it be Cui Fuzun's subordinate, Jiang Xiaoliu, don't use your brain to think about it, Cui Fuzun will send someone to search Yuanjia Village? How much do you think you have?" Stupid. The person who took the lead just now is obviously Xia Xiang's most loyal lackey."

Jiang Xiaoliu smiled embarrassingly: "That's right, Cui Fuzun is one of his own people, how could his own people search his place? By the way, Li Xiaosi, Ding Ke is also an idiot. He came to search with great fanfare. How could he find someone?" ? He would never have thought that even the little lady is no longer in Yuanjia Village."

Xia Xiang and the others hid behind the big tree. Although they were not very close, they could hear them clearly because of the silence.Several people looked at each other with joy on their faces.

"Wei Zhongqiang is really powerful. He is simply a clever planner. He tricked Xia Xiang and his gang around with his tricks, and let a few carriages lead Xia Xiang to Yuanjia Village. He and Liu Yuanwai had already run away. Hehe, Xia Xiang Xiang also thinks how smart he is, fart, he can't even match Wei Zhongqiang with a toe." Li Xiaosi said triumphantly, "Jiang Xiaoliu, Boss Wei told us to look after the goods, we must not Something went wrong. He went to meet Sister Zhu, and he will be back in half an hour. When he comes back, it’s best that everything is calm, and Ding Ke doesn’t come back, so we can deal with business with confidence.”

"Ding Ke is just a stupid donkey. After a lot of tossing around and found nothing, he ran away a long time ago. How could he come back? Ding Ke didn't even think about it. He searched like bandits entering the village. How could he find people? If you startled the snake, the snake would have already run away. Now he must have gone to find Miss Lian somewhere else with that stupid pig like Xia Xiang. Hee hee, Miss Lian is really handsome, she is cheaper than Liu Yuanwai. If I can get a hold of it, I will die willingly It's gone." Jiang Xiaoliu's saliva almost flowed out.

"Get out! You dare to fight against Miss Lian, are you afraid that Liu Yuanwai will kill you? Killing you by Liu Yuanwai is no different from trampling an ant to death. Be careful, don't be like Han Meng, who is neither greedy for money nor flattering, but Being manipulated around by a woman. Let me tell you, Jiang Xiaoliu, women are disasters. If you want to die quickly, you should find more women to keep you from being killed like Dong Xian." Li Xiaosi stared , raised his hand and slapped Jiang Xiaoliu on the head.
