Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 508
Chapter 508 Shocking
Yun Xiao regained her senses and saw Rong Xun rushing over with the ebony ghost mask. Before she could react, Rong Xun had already confronted Tie Qinglan.
“Stop! Stop fighting!” Because Yun Xiao had been fed with Soft Tendon Powder, her physical strength had yet to recover. Even if she spoke, her voice was still very low.
Rong Xun and Tie Qinglan could not hear her at all, and the fight became even more difficult to part with.
However, after a few rounds, Tie Qinglan gradually revealed her defeat. In the end, Rong Xun held her neck and walked to Yun Xiao’s side, “Are you alright?”
Yun Xiao shook her head. Seeing that Tie Qinglan’s little face had already turned red due to the lack of air, even though she frowned, “I’m fine. Let go of Miss Tie first. Miss Tie saved me.”
Rong Xun’s deep eyes fell on Tie Qinglan and he frowned. Even if he let go of her, he said coldly, “Relying on the kung fu of a three-legged cat to run around the Mu Clan. This behavior is very retarded. Be honest, otherwise, you won’t know how you will die in the end.”
Tie Qinglan did not expect that Rong Xun’s first sentence was to warn her. When she thought of how she almost died at Rong Xun’s hands, her face turned ashen. “That’s better than letting you kill her! Besides, my Three-legged Cat’s kung fu can also save people. The Taishang Emperor’s martial arts are good, but I didn’t save Miss Yun first.”
Tie Qinglan only wanted to be quick-spoken and completely forgot about her proper etiquette. After secretly ridiculing her, she remembered who she was talking to. Her expression immediately became a little awkward, but when she saw that Rong Xun did not look at her at all, her expression stiffened.
When Yun Xiao saw Rong Xun and Tie Qinglan quarreling, a faint smile flashed through her eyes. She was worried that Mu Xuan’s people would catch up, and she was also worried about Er Xiao at home. Even if she said, “If there’s anything, let’s talk about it when we get back. It’s important to go out now.”
Rong Xun naturally did not have any objections. He immediately went forward to pick up Yun Xiao and signaled Tie Qinglan, “You go and bring Mu Xuan.”
Tie Qinglan stared at Rong Xun dumbfounded. Why did she have the illusion that when Rong Xun hugged Yun Xiao, his movements were so smooth? She remembered what she had just heard. Yunxiao should be Rong Xun’s sister-in-law, and Mu Xuan should be Rong Xun’s female talent. Why would Rong Xun rather carry her than touch Mu Xuan?
“Hey, why do you want me to bring Muxuan?”
Rong Xun didn’t even look at Tie Qinglan and directly walked forward with Yun Xiao in his arms. “Otherwise, you can just wait here for you to be caught,” Rong Xun said without looking at Tie Qinglan.
Tie Qinglan didn’t want to say anything when she saw Rong Xun’s words. She was obviously perfunctory. She turned to look at Mu Xuan, who was staring at her. Tie Qinglan frowned. Rather than waiting for her death, she should go out first. She walked to Mu Xuan’s side, grabbed Mu Xuan with one hand, and followed Rong Xun’s footsteps.
Because Tie Qinglan practiced martial arts normally, she was much stronger than ordinary women, so mentioning Mu Xuan was simply a piece of cake.
Mu Xuan did not expect Tie Qinglan to carry her like she was carrying a cargo. Her face was ashen with anger, but she could not pronounce a syllable. She only wanted to wait for someone to come to save her. However, looking at the road that Xun was taking, her expression became uglier and uglier.
This road was the quietest place in the entire Mu Clan. Normally, there were very many people coming. Even the number of hidden guards on this road was pitifully small. It was only because everyone said that the end of this road was a haunted house. No matter where anyone went, they would die.
The Mu Clan did not believe in evil, so they had sent experts from the five hidden guards to investigate. In the end, only one of the five hidden guards escaped, and the one who escaped was still insane, unable to say anything clearly.
After staring at the so-called haunted house for a while, the Mu Clan discovered that as long as the haunted house did not break in, it would be fine, and there was nothing inside. The Mu Clan had always been calm and peaceful, and had not been disturbed by the haunted house. In the end, they could only let it go, leaving only two or three hidden guards here to watch every day.
Now, he didn’t expect that Rong Xun would actually lead people to the direction of the haunted house. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.
Seeing that the haunted house in the distance was about to arrive in front of him, Rong Xun’s footsteps were still very fast and he had no intention of stopping. His expression was slightly surprised. Could it be that this so-called haunted house was created by Rong Xun?
Thinking of this, his face turned even more ashen.
Suddenly, two black-clothed men descended from the sky and blocked Rong Xun’s path. Rong Xun did not even look at the two of them. He directly pulled out the soft sword at his waist and quickly stepped forward. As Rong Xun’s figure passed the two of them, he saw their figures lying straight down.
Mu Xuan and Tie Qinglan looked at the two black-clothed men lying on the ground with astonishment on their faces.
Mu Xuan did not expect Rong Xun to actually intend to take them away from here. Rong Xun’s decision was made directly. Tie Qinglan did not expect Rong Xun’s martial arts to be so high. He killed two people directly with just a single move. In this way, the fight with her just now meant that Rong Xun was showing mercy.
Thinking of this, Tie Qinglan’s expression became even uglier. With mercy, she was able to defeat him within a few moves. If she really attacked, she would probably not be able to escape a single move in his hands, right?
At this time, Rong Xun had already opened the door of the haunted house and walked in with a bright step. Mu Xuan’s expression became even more embarrassed. She did not expect that Rong Xun would actually have a stronghold in the Mu Clan.
They followed him into the haunted house. There were dense bamboo groves planted in the courtyard of the haunted house. A gust of wind blew over and bamboo leaves blew over like clumps of waves. The fine rustling sound also gave the entire courtyard a strange feeling.
Yun Xiao was hugged by Rong Xun and looked left and right. He only felt that this courtyard was very unique. However, Yun Xiao did not ask any questions and trusted Rong Xun wholeheartedly to bring him out.
On the contrary, Tie Qinglan couldn’t hold back and directly asked, “What kind of place is this?” Looking at Rong Xun’s familiar appearance, it was as if he was in his own home.
“What nonsense?” Rong Xun gave Tie Qinglan a cold look and quickly entered the room. Then, he saw two people from the Ten Directions Palace already waiting in the room. “Greetings, Young Master.”
“Stand up,” Rong Xun replied indifferently, then said directly, “Have you arranged everything else?”
“Yes,” the black-clothed man immediately opened the exit of the secret passage. Rong Xun brought Yun Xiao, Tie Qinglan, and the others into the secret passage. However, just as he left the secret passage, Rong Xun’s arm was grabbed by a small hand.
She looked at Yun Xiao doubtfully, and her questioning gaze landed on her.
Yun Xiao first glanced at Tie Qinglan and Mu Xuan and whispered, “Let someone take Miss Tie and Mu Xuan away first.”
Hearing this, Rong Xun knew that something was wrong. He signaled for Tie Qinglan to leave with Mu Xuan first. Tie Qinglan was unwilling, but when she saw Rong Xun’s cold gaze, she immediately left with Mu Xuan. However, this time, Tie Qinglan directly threw Mu Xuan to the black-clothed man.
After the others disappeared, Yun Xiao said, “I saw mother in the secret room of the Mu Clan.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her body tighten. Rong Xun stared at Yun Xiao with a burning gaze, “Do you still remember where it is?”
Yun Xiao nodded. At that time, she had wasted some effort to remember the path. However, at this moment, she was suddenly afraid that Rong Xun and Rong Jin would see the True Empress’s appearance.
Perhaps it would be best to leave the two brothers with the best appearance of the True Empress, but the two brothers had been looking for the True Empress for so long just to see their mother. Now that they had the chance, how could they let go?
Regardless of the outcome, Yun Xiao could not make this decision for them. She could only let them make a decision on their own.
He took a deep breath and said, “However, after such a long time, I’m afraid An Hua will transfer people. The exit of the secret passageway is now in An Hua’s courtyard in the Mu Clan.” An Hua used the identity of a True Empress. Before the True Empress married into the royal family, she was a girl from the Mu Clan. Naturally, she had her own courtyard in the Mu Clan. Every time An Hua returned, she would always live in that courtyard.
Rong Xun’s heart beat uncontrollably, and his gaze was filled with anticipation. “Take me to look for it. Whether you can find it or not, we’ll talk about it at that time.”
Yun Xiao could not bear to refuse. The two of them left the secret passageway again, then left the haunted house and quickly went to An Hua’s courtyard in the Mu Clan.
As a child, Rong Xun often came to the Mu Clan and occasionally came to inquire about the news, which made people keep an eye on the Mu Clan’s every move. Therefore, he was very familiar with the Mu Clan’s courtyard. Not long after, he arrived at An Hua’s courtyard in the Mu Clan.
However, An Hua’s courtyard had a heavy soldier’s handle. Rong Xun quickly attacked and killed all the guards. He walked over to Yun Xiao with a bloodstained sword. “Have you found the entrance yet?”
Yun Xiao graciously said. She walked back and forth through a protrusion on the ground several times according to a certain rule, and saw a secret passage flashing out from the ground. The secret passage was a staircase. Yun Xiao originally wanted to go down the staircase, but she didn’t expect Rong Xun to have already grabbed her first. She lightly pointed her toes and quickly flew down.
Yun Xiao looked at Rong Xun in surprise, “I can leave on my own.”
Rong Xun didn’t even look at Yun Xiao as he quickly flew down. “You’re too slow to walk. If you delay, it’s not good for you to be discovered by those people guarding you,” Rong Xun said without looking at Yun Xiao.
However, when Yun Xiao and Rong Xun arrived at the room where the True Empress was, they only saw blood all over the floor and nothing else.
Yun Xiao came down from Rong Xun’s body, and then quickly walked to the bed where the True Empress was lying. All the bedding on the bed was wet with blood, especially the blood stains on the sheets. He could press down on it with his hand, causing it to bleed. It looked a little shocking.
Yun Xiao bit her lower lip tightly. Her expression was extremely embarrassing, and even her hand that touched the bed sheet trembled slightly.
How much blood can a person have? Although this amount of blood had been accumulated over the years, it could be seen that the Queen had lost so much blood and had been moved. Obviously, it was already very difficult for her to survive.
