Chapter 1022: The Real Man Behind the Scenes
To this day, he no longer wants to mention that person's name.
He never imagined that one day his life would be connected to that person in such a way, ironically.
"Whether that place is real or fake, I decided to keep looking, and maybe I can find some clues." Feng Qingbai paused, "As long as things haven't really come to the end of the world, it doesn't mean that there is no hope at all. β
Stunned, Xue Honglian lowered her eyes slightly. He didn't expect that a person like Feng Qingbai would actually speak comfortingly. To say such things with his temperament, I'm afraid he himself is not used to it.
Probably, that's what friends are.
Regarding Feng Qingbai's words, Liu Yusheng agreed, "I agree with Feng Qingbai, no matter what others say, I will not die without personally confirming it." β
ββ¦β¦ Thanks a lot. Xue Honglian said this to the two of them. has grown so big in this life, and as Xue Honglian, he has never said thank you to anyone, so it looks stiff and awkward.
Liu Yusheng pursed her lips and laughed softly, diluting the dullness that had condensed because she learned that Miao Jiang was gone.
"What are your plans now, to come with us or to stay in this stockade?" Feng Qingbai asked.
Without waiting for Xue Honglin to answer, Liu Yusheng said, "He wants to continue to stay in this village." Didn't you say that the envoy was coming in the next two days? If Xue Honglian is not there, what should Qianyi do? She is of pure blood, and the envoy will certainly not let her go. β
Feng Qingbai raised his eyebrows, "When did he become a sympathetic person?" If he chooses to stay, it will definitely not be for that Qianyi. β
Xue Honglian raised her eyes, not surprised that Feng Qingbai could see through his thoughts, sometimes the person who knows you best is precisely your opponent. They had fought between them for so many years before, and Feng Qingbai knew him no less than anyone around him.
"There are a lot of secrets in this village, and I won't leave until the secrets are revealed."
"What the hell is the secret? You stay as an outsider, and when the envoy comes, he can't help but suspect you. Even if there are people from the Holy Witch Clan to protect you, the result may not be as you expected, and you will be able to uncover it peacefully. I'm afraid that it will cause even more waves when the time comes. Liu Yusheng is not too optimistic about his choice.
From the time she was secretly watched by a secret line after she officially stepped into Mocheng, she vaguely guessed Emperor Xiliang's temperament and style of acting. He was so afraid of having people from other countries go in and out of Xiliang, and the Holy Witch Clan meant so much to him, he would never tolerate an outsider staying in the Holy Witch Clan, even in the name of a guardian.
Xue Honglian is not a naΓ―ve person, and she believes that he will not understand this. It was Liu Yusheng who was also curious about what secrets were in this village that could make Xue Honglian choose to take risks to stay.
After hesitating for a while, Xue Honglian finally relented, "There are people in this village who can drive poisons, such as centipedes and scorpions. β
This sentence is smart enough to derive countless guesses, and it counts to the point.
With his temperament, he was reluctant to say it until it was finalized, but he was even more reluctant to let two people who were really worried about him waste a lot of time doing useless work to find a mirage that might really no longer exist.
Sure enough, his words immediately shocked the two.
"It can repel snakes, insects and rats

Ant...... Isn't this a skill that Miao Jiang people understand? Liu Yusheng was shocked.
Feng Qingbai said, "So you suspect that the Holy Witch Clan is very likely to be the Miao Jiang people back then, even if they are not, at least they are related to Miao Jiang?" β
Xue Honglian nodded, "So I want to stay and see if I can find more evidence to prove my speculation." By the way, I once heard from the villagers that in addition to a holy witch clan in Xiliang, there is also a Gu doctor clan, and the name is related to Gu. β
Feng Qingbai groaned, and then nodded, "I'll send someone to check over there, and I'll leave it to you here." It is limited to one month, and we will meet here in a month.
Xue Honglian said, "Okay." β
A month isn't much, but it's not a short time for someone like them. Moreover, it is impossible for Feng Qingbai's identity to stay in Mocheng for a long time, otherwise it will cause great jealousy in Xiliang Kingdom, and it is likely to lead to other things.
In addition, he can't leave aside the state affairs on Nanling's side for too long, so one month is already the limit for Feng Qingbai.
The matter was decided, and the three of them were separated on the spot.
Before parting, Xue Honglian handed a medicine bottle to Liu Yusheng, "This is the venom extracted from the Western Xinjiang snake, it has a paralyzing effect, I have tried it, the effect is no worse than hemp boiling, and it is more convenient." As long as the dosage is appropriate, there is no damage to the human body, and you can use it when you treat diseases and save people. β
When Liu Yusheng accepted the medicine bottle, Feng Qingbai's whole face was black.
Xue Honglian turned a blind eye, gave what she wanted to send, and disappeared.
"I didn't expect there to be such a magical venom, I'll try it a few more times after I go back, if it's really the same as what Red Lotus said, it will be very useful."
As soon as the words fell, he felt his waist tighten, and fell into the man's arms, and the man's face was dark, "Go back." β
"......" Liu Yusheng couldn't laugh or cry.
On the way back, Liu Yusheng remembered one more thing, "Didn't you say that there are many people in Xiliang who are secretly spying on us?" Wouldn't the person who should have been in the guest room of the inn come back from the outside to arouse suspicion? β
"No, Wei Zi has already taken care of it. What happened will only be that the king of Nanling took the princess on a trip, and the envoy threw off his eyes halfway. We're going back now, but we're just returning from a trip, and there's nothing to doubt about it. Feng Qingbai said lightly.
He naturally does things without leaving any flaws, he has thought of everything the woman can think of, and he has already done what the woman didn't expect. Even if those people are secretly watching them, they will not be able to take them, they will only be secretly angry and want to die.
The truth is indeed as Feng Qingbai expected.
When they returned, they entered through the city gate in an open manner, and when the gate guards saw them, they were surprised but not shocked, which showed that there was a connection between them and the spies. The guards are also one of the spies who spy on them.
Back at the inn, Feng Qingbai immediately instructed Wei Zi to inquire about the news and find out from the local people whether Miao Jiang had really disappeared.
If so, they will continue to search, but the focus will no longer be on finding the specific location of Miao Jiang.
To confirm Xue Honglian's guess is the top priority at present.
If their speculation is true, it proves that the Holy Witch Clan and the Gu Yi Clan are really the descendants of Miao Jiang, or are related to the disappeared Miao Jiang, then it also proves that Miao Jiang, which was originally independent of other countries, is likely to have been quietly appropriated by Xiliang decades ago.
