Leaving Tianjing Town, we rushed to Hutoumen. Along the way, the scenery went from white to desolate, and then we began to see some autumn green shade trees.
The journey lasted ten days.
During the journey, Rong Su would lift the curtain of the car from time to time and look out, and he would see many displaced people.
They were dressed in rags and had thin faces. Many old, weak, women and children fell on the road. For this reason, she could not bear to watch them die, so she left behind many guards to help them.
Until Xiao Hei was the only one left by her side.
"Miss, I know you are kind-hearted and can't bear to see those people suffering. But now that person is insidious. If there is an ambush on the road and I am alone, I am afraid I can't protect him." Xiao Hei was very worried. He saw that all the guards were sent by Rong Su to take care of the people they met on the road, while she completely ignored her own safety.
On the one hand, Xiao Hei admired Rong Su's noble character of putting the people first, but on the other hand, he was worried that if she encountered an enemy, her life would be difficult to protect.
Facing Xiao Hei's concerns, Rong Su remained calm and composed: "Do you think the incident at Bai Tiaomen was a coincidence or was it intentional?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Hei had actually thought about it. It was said that the Bai Tiao Gate had been renovated by Master Aku, and an unbreakable Yihua Formation was set up. But now it has been cracked by someone, and someone even broke into the gate and killed the well-trained Asoyi.
It's hard to believe.
Xiao Hei was puzzled: "This matter is indeed very strange. It doesn't seem like a coincidence."
"Just as you thought, this is not a coincidence. Someone must be manipulating it behind the scenes, or they have used it as bait to lure me there. In this case, I must go alone to relax the enemy's vigilance." Rong Su nodded, looked into the distance, and narrowed his eyes.
After Rong Su said this, Xiao Hei immediately understood Rong Su's deep meaning. His eyes flashed and he said suddenly, "Young lady, you are really smart. In that case, when the enemy lets down their guard, we can launch a surprise attack!"
Her lips lifted slightly, but the heaviness in her eyes remained unchanged.
I think so, but the actual situation will depend on what I learn after I get there.
Before they knew it, they arrived near the mining city. The Tiger Head Gate was on the hill on the other side of the mining city.
Rong Su glanced in the direction of the mining city. Xiao Hei noticed her gaze and remembered that he had heard from Shi Tou that Rong Su and the lord of the mining city, Yan Liang, were sworn brothers and sisters.
"Girl, how about going to the mining town?"
Hearing Xiao Hei's meaning, Rong Su still shook her head: "No. The most important thing now is to first understand the situation of Bai Tiaomen."
As she said that, she asked Xiao Hei to drive towards Hutoumen.
When the sun set in the west and a cold wind blew, they finally stopped the carriage in front of the hilltop of Hutoumen.
As soon as they entered the territory of Hutoumen, people from Hutoumen ran out with weapons and surrounded them.
"Who are you? Tell me your name! Hutoumen is not a place you can roam around in casually!"
The leader was a young man wearing a green turban, with eyes as sharp as a fox and a ferocious expression. He was holding a spear and pointing it at them.
Behind him were five or six men wearing the same turbans as him, but their turbans were gray.
Seeing this, Rong Su was a little confused. When she came here before, she didn't seem to have seen any disciples of the Hutou Sect wearing such a headscarf.
Seeing Rong Su didn't say anything, the young man thrust his spear towards Xiao Hei and said viciously, "I want you to answer my question!"
When Xiao Hei saw the spear, his eyes instantly became sharp. He drew a long sword from his horse's back. The long sword and the spear collided violently, and a strong sound of weapons rang out in the air.
The young man didn't expect that Xiao Hei could withstand his attack. He showed an incredible expression, and then he seemed to be angry and started to attack Xiao Hei again.
Xiao Hei was not to be outdone. The long sword in his hand was like an invisible shadow, and every move could easily dissolve the attack from the young man.
Seeing that their fight was getting more and more intense, and the young man's offensive was obviously at a disadvantage compared to Xiao Hei, he was very unwilling to give up, and his moves seemed to hurt the enemy by a hundred and hurt himself by eight hundred.
Seeing this, Rong Su was about to speak up to stop the two of them.
The next second, someone who spoke before her appeared.
"Stop it! Jin!"
Then, Zhou Di flashed over from a distance using light skills, holding a long sword in his hand, and knocked the spear of the young man named Ajin aside.
Ajin's spear was deflected, so Xiao Hei naturally put away his sword, then retreated to Rong Su's side, blocking her sideways, staring at Zhou Di and Ajin with hostile and vigilant eyes.
Ajin naturally looked at Xiao Hei with dissatisfaction and anger.
After Zhou Di stopped Ajin, he quickly looked at Rong Su, and then his expression became a little excited: "Third sister, why did you come? Why didn't you tell me in advance? I could have come to greet you in person."
As soon as Zhou Di said this, Ah Jin went from being angry to being confused, and then looking at Rong Su in astonishment, exclaiming, "You are the Sect Master's adopted sister? Our deputy Sect Master?"
Deputy Sect Leader? Rong Su was puzzled when he heard this, so he looked at Zhou Di, wanting to ask him the reason.
Zhou Di turned to look at Ajin and warned him with his eyes. After receiving the warning, Ajin immediately shut his mouth and lowered his head in fear.
"I'll tell you in detail about this matter later, Third Sister. Why did you come here?" Zhou Di gave her an embarrassed look, then asked in confusion.
Rong Su looked at Zhou Di's expression, which didn't seem like a fake, as if he really didn't know anything.
She was puzzled by this, and after thinking for a while, she said, "This is not the place to talk."
Zhou Di understood that she had something important to discuss with him, so he leaned over and said, "Okay, then follow me in and we'll talk slowly."
Rong Su nodded.
Afterwards, she and Xiao Hei followed Zhou Di into the Hutou Gate.
After Rong Su briefly explained some things to Xiao Hei, she and Zhou Di went to his study.
As soon as she entered the study, Zhou Di asked her to sit down, poured her tea, and asked, "Why are you here? Although it must be something important. But now that Beizhou and Dongzhou are at war, I thought you should be with the Regent of Dongzhou."
Rong Su thanked him, took the tea from Zhou Di, and said, "You know everything."
Zhou nodded, and his expression became much more serious when talking about the war between the two continents.
"Although the mining city is not constrained by the three continents and one city, it is also sandwiched between the three continents and one city. Once the war breaks out, no place can be spared. I heard from Brother Yan that the mining city has recently accepted a lot of refugees from the two continents."
This topic is actually very heavy. In times of war, everyone is like a piece of duckweed, swaying in the turbulent waves.
"Tell me, why are you here?" Zhou Di looked at her again and asked.
Rong Su clenched her teacup, fell silent for a moment, then looked up at Zhou Di: "Something happened at Bai Tiao Men, did you know?"
Zhou Di was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he really looked like he had no idea. "Something happened to Bai Tiaomen? How could that be? The people I sent out would report the situation at Bai Tiaomen every once in a while, and I have never received any information about any incident at Bai Tiaomen. Third sister, didn't you receive the wrong information?"
If she had heard about the Bai Tiao Men from someone else, she might have suspected that the information she had obtained was wrong, but she got the information from Fat Head.
Rong Su looked at Zhou Di with certainty and said seriously, "There's no way it can be wrong. I found the blood letter on Fatty's leg, and the words written on it are Anaan's handwriting. There can't be any mistake."
As she spoke, she took out a letter written in blood from her sleeve and handed it to Zhou Di to read.
Zhou Di took it and took a closer look at the words and content. He was shocked, but then he realized something was wrong. "How could this be? Asoyi is dead? Aku is also seriously injured, but why doesn't it say where they are now? Since Bai Tiaomen has been breached, it must be unsafe there. But why doesn't the blood letter clearly state where they are hiding?"
Rong Su was also puzzled by this point, but after thinking about it, she said to Zhou, "I've thought about this matter very seriously. Although Anaan is quiet and a little timid, he is very meticulous and can do things perfectly. So he must have considered the possibility that someone other than me would have snatched the letter that Fatty sent out."
"You mean that Anaan didn't write it down in order to avoid being discovered by anyone other than you about their current hiding place." After listening to Rong Su's analysis, Zhou Di figured it out a little bit and guessed what she said.
Rong Su nodded, and at the same time, a suspicious point occurred to her. She asked, "But why didn't you send people out to investigate the Bai Tiao Gate and get any information about this? It's impossible for someone to break into the Bai Tiao Gate and cause such a big commotion without anyone noticing."
Zhou Di also began to ponder at this time. Suddenly, his eyes became sharp. He slapped the table and said in a serious tone: "It seems that someone has sneaked into the Tiger Head Gate."
As soon as these words came out, Rong Su suddenly became serious: "You mean."
Before Rong Su spoke, Zhou Di glanced outside. Rong Su noticed it and immediately fell silent and lowered her voice.
"Is there a spy in the sect?"
Zhou Di nodded silently with a very serious expression.
-
After that conversation with Zhou Di, Zhou Di began to send trustworthy people to secretly conduct a carpet investigation on all the disciples in Hutou Sect.
Because Zhou Di was very strict in disciplining the sect, and many of the sect's rules were revised after he became the sect leader, it was not difficult to find the spy.
However, within just two days, Zhou Di asked someone to call Rong Su to the study.
As soon as she entered the study, Rong Su saw Ajin was there too.
When Ajin saw Rong Su, he surprisingly didn't even dare to meet her eyes. When he saw her coming, he even turned his head to the side.
"Third sister, I have found the person. I asked Ajin to interrogate him, and I have found out the truth. Ajin, please tell me." After Zhou Di asked Rong Su to sit down, he got to the point.
When Zhou Di suddenly called his name, A Jin was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "Ah? Okay, that person is the leader who arranged the team to go to Bai Tiaomen to investigate. I didn't expect that he had already accepted the bribe. Come on, bring him up to me!"
Then, a middle-aged man covered in blood and with dirty clothes came in, escorted by two disciples wearing dark blue turbans.
As soon as the middle-aged man saw Zhou Di, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Master, please forgive me. I really don't want to betray the sect. It's just that I'm really short of money. Without money, my mother can't treat her illness!"
Zhou Di's expression was stern, without a trace of sympathy. "You secretly accepted bribes behind the sect's back, and you still expect me to forgive you? Are the rules I set just for show?"
The middle-aged man's face turned pale and blue. He realized that he could no longer beg for mercy from Zhou Di. He lowered his head in frustration and dejection.
"Then, please help my mother, Master. Save her. I just want her to be well and not suffer from the pain of illness. This is my only request. No matter what punishment I have to endure in the future, I am willing to accept it."
Such a sincere and filial heart will move anyone who hears it, but if something is wrong, it is still wrong, and no reason can be used as an excuse to shirk responsibility.
"Let me ask you, from whom did you accept the bribe?" Rong Su just wanted to know if it was the person she had in mind.
The middle-aged man saw that the truth had already been revealed and there was no need to hide it any longer. He said, "It was a masked killer. He gave me 100 taels and asked me to hide all the information about the Bai Tiao Sect and not inform the sect leader."
Rong Su looked at Zhou Di, and Zhou Di also looked at her with a serious look.
Thinking about it, she continued to ask: "When does it start?"
The middle-aged man began to recall: "Just half a month ago."
Half a month ago, wasn't that the time when she was already in Tianjing Town? At that time, it was indeed difficult for her to contact Aku.
His hands clenched slightly, and an indescribable feeling of depression spread across his heart.
"What do you know? Since that person asked you to conceal what happened in Bai Tiaomen, what exactly happened there?"
Rong Su's voice suddenly rose, and she couldn't suppress the emotions that were about to explode.
The middle-aged man was shocked by her sudden cold anger. He took a step back in fear, not daring to look into her cold eyes. He lowered his head and answered.
"I saw it. A large number of black-clad assassins, all masked, rushed into the Hundred Gates simultaneously. The Flower-Transferring Formation was as easy as crossing a bridge for them. Afterwards, I heard the constant sounds of weapons clashing and screams coming from inside. Half a day later, the leader who had brought the assassins with him in the first place came out."
"That person sounded very angry, and it looked like he hadn't succeeded. Later, I went inside the Bai Tiao Gate to check. It was a mess, with corpses scattered all over the floor."
After saying this, Zhou Di looked at Rong Su with an apologetic look on his face: "Third sister, I'm sorry. It's my fault that I didn't supervise you well enough and raised such a disciple! It's my fault!"
Rong Su's clenched fists were trembling slightly. Bai Tiao Sect rarely accepted disciples, so there were not many people in Bai Tiao Sect. There were only about thirty people in the entire sect.
"Is it Shen Fengyu? Is it him? Tell me!" Rong Su stood up as if she was crazy, walked to the middle-aged man, reached out and grabbed his collar, and asked loudly.
The middle-aged man was frightened by Rong Su's hideous face and turned pale. He shook his head and said, "I, I don't know. That person never showed his face..."
