Chapter 173: Unraveling the Mist
Huanxiang and Qier felt extremely uncomfortable when they saw Qiao Xianyong's face was miserable. After a while, Huanxiang said softly, "Brother Qiao, I didn't mean to lie to you, but because of the leader's instructions, I was under Feitian Sect again. I really had to do this." She lowered her head and said, "I have performed some similar tasks before, but I just executed them and never took them to heart. This time, it was indeed different."
Qiao Xianyong said with red eyes, "So, your name is not Huanxiang, but you are also the master of the altar and incense?"
Huanxiang said anxiously, "Brother Qiao, my name is indeed Huanxiang, but my surname is not Wu. I have no parents since I was a child and have always grown up with the help of neighbors. No one has ever been nice to me. Except for Brother Qiao, you, you treat me like a sister. How can I bear to continue to harm you?"
Qiao Xianyong sighed long and stopped talking, staring at the wooden door with wide eyes open.
Qi'er said anxiously, "Miss, what does this Feitian Sect want Mr. Qiao to do? What kind of trap does it have? You say." She stood by the window and looked outside and said, "I think no one has come with a torch. It's not enough to finish there yet, so we still have some time."
When Qiao Xianyong heard Qier's words, he seemed to finally come back to his senses. He smiled bitterly and said, "Huanxiang, what does the Feitian Sect want from me? I heard from the Prince of Ning that I want the star map on me, but he said that it was a treasure map."
Huanxiang frowned and said, "Brother Qiao, I don't know how you offended the Feitian Sect, but the Feitian Sect is so powerful that there are no sects in the Central Plains that can be compared. Do you know, do you still remember that you were attacked by a few people with high martial arts skills in the forest at that time when you were with everyone in the Baisha Escort Agency?"
Qiao Xianyong would remember the bloody battle in the dense forest at that time and nodded slowly.
Huanxiang continued, "That dwarf Bai Xinxin and others, although probably have other identities in the world, are all under the Feitian Sect."
"What?" Qiao Xianyong couldn't help but be shocked. He immediately remembered the Baisha Escort Bureau locked up in the Wu house in Anjiangcheng. It turned out that they were all caused by the Feitian Sect. The Feitian Sect robbed the escorts, and they didn't know where the property was left, but the people were probably locked up in the Wu house in Anjiangcheng. I think that the Wu house was probably also an important stronghold of the Feitian Sect.
"That's right, I once said that you were stunned by the drug given by a middle-aged woman. This is indeed true. The Feitian Sect's robbery is an important purpose, but there are several core people who know that you are the more important target. Brother Qiao, as for why the Feitian Sect has set its sights on you, I really don't know." Huanxiang licked her lips and continued, "After you were stunned, you were sent to the mansion full of bamboo forests, which is also an important stronghold of the Feitian Sect. I found several things from you at that time. Strangely, the leader personally checked the things on you, and she left a pampered scroll, and the other things were put back on you. You will know what happened later."
Qiao Xianyong stared at Huanxiang and nodded and said, "That's right, that parchment scroll is the star map of the leader of Tongtian, you know this too."
Huanxiang shook her head and said, "Brother Qiao, I have a low position. At that time, the above explained that I was not allowed to look at anything without permission. I should put it in one place immediately. Moreover, when I searched, several people were staring at me. So I only knew that what I took out was a parchment. As for what it was inside, I didn't know at all. Besides, who is the leader of Tongtian and what the constellation map is, I had never even heard of it."
Qiao Xianyong pondered and asked again, "That day, in the small garden of Anjiang City, you asked me, because you didn't admit that you had seen the star map of the Tongtian Sect Master, and you were suspected by Mrs. Wu? Can you still know something?"
Huanxiang said earnestly, "Brother Qiao, I'm afraid that only the leader of the Flying Sect knows the content of this pampered scroll. Even Mrs. Wu's status is not a chance to see it. This talks about why the leader asked us to set up such a big situation, pretending to be a mother and a sister to coax you. I guessed that the leader had read the content, but there were probably many confusions, so we asked us to cover your words and ask you what the content in this volume was explained. The leader only said the words "Tongtian Master's Constellation Picture", but the other content has never been disclosed."
Qiao Xianyong carefully recalled the many days and the Qiao family. No, it was not the Qiao family, but Mrs. Wu. When he thought of this, he hated him so much that he was so angry that he had been together. During many days and nights, Mrs. Wu did talk casually about the leader of Tongtian several times. Qiao Xianyong thought it was just a chat after dinner, but never paid attention. It was not until Mr. Yan and Huanxiang reminded him to be careful one after another that he became more cautious.
Huanxiang suddenly grabbed Qiao Xianyong's sleeve and said tremblingly, "Brother Qiao, I don't think these are important. Today, you must listen carefully to the most important thing I want to tell you."
Qiao Xian couldn't help but feel even more strange. This big scam is already a strange and painful thing in his life. Is there anything more important than this fake mother and fake sister?
But Qiao Xianyong looked at Huanxiang's expression in pain and nervousness, and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Huanxiang, it's okay, just say it."
Huanxiang took a few deep breaths and whispered, "Brother Qiao, I only realized that Mrs. Wu was so well disguised, and you didn't notice her flaws at all. One is that you have indeed left your mother for too long, and many memories may be blurred. The more important reason is, Brother Qiao, your mother is still alive! The leader didn't know how he found her, so he learned so much about you when you were a child from her!"
Qiao Xianyong heard Huanxiang's words and jumped up with a "bang", which scared Huanxiang and Qier. He said excitedly, "Miss Huanxiang, you won't lie to me again, are you? My mother, she is really alive?" Qiao Xianyong became more and more serious when he was talking about what Mrs. Wu talked about in childhood that only mother and son knew, and why did Mrs. Wu say everything he could say when talking about his father, Boss Qiao. Why did Mrs. Wu have burned scars on her shoulders that were exactly the same as her mother. It seemed that she wanted to imitate her mother and endured the scars she burned!
It is gratifying that there are many behaviors of Mrs. Wu, which make him feel uneasy, such as greed for pleasure and luxury, and scolding his servants. It seems that it is not the mother he loved since childhood, but the personal behavior that Mrs. Wu himself cannot change. Thinking of this, Qiao Xianyong felt a little relieved.
He had these many thoughts in his mind. When he saw Huanxiang looking at him with his almond eyes, he remembered the question he wanted to ask the most, and said in a trembling voice, "Sister Huanxiang, where is my mother?"
Huanxiang tried her best to suppress her excitement and whispered, "Brother Qiao, I have never known how the samples of these dramas played by Mrs. Wu came from. But whether I was in Zhulin Mansion or Anjiang Mansion, I noticed that sometimes you mentioned some things from childhood with her, and she couldn't answer them for a while, and would use words to evade them. I wonder if you have ever noticed it."
Qiao Xianyong recalled the past scenes. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Huanxiang was right, so he nodded.
Huanxiang said, "Later I noticed that when I encountered such a situation, Mrs. Wu would avoid everyone after chatting and go to a mysterious courtyard in the mansion alone. Once I followed her quietly. After she left the courtyard, I waited for a long time and saw that there was no one around, so I wanted to enter the courtyard. But as soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I fainted. When I woke up again, I was already lying on my bed, with Mrs. Wu's cold face in front of me. She told me gloomy that there were some things that I didn't know than what I knew." Huanxiang thought about the situation at that time, and couldn't help but shivered.
Qiao Xianyong heard Huanxiang's words and pondered, "Is it the one who drugged me?"
Huanxiang nodded and said, "Later I guessed that it was probably the poisonous aunt who was guarding the yard. The man was so powerful that he had never seen any trace of the drug. Since then, I have been very cautious and never went to the yard again. But I kept thinking, who was guarding in the yard?"
Qiao Xian couldn't help but say, "Is it my mother?"
Huanxiang said hesitantly, "Brother Qiao, I have always been so suspicious. And I suspect that when we come to the capital, no matter where we go, probably to deal with your endless problems, we will take Brother Qiao, your mother."
Qiao Xianyong paced rapidly in the room, turned around and asked, "Huanxiang, are you talking about it, my mother is here with us now and here in Ningsi Mansion?"
Huanxiang shook her head and said, "Brother Qiao, I have been with Mrs. Wu on the way from Anjiang City to Ningsi Mansion. Not long after I left, someone rushed to deliver the letter. After reading the letter, she looked gloomy and told the sender that since it was a clean-up portal, I would like to take the lady to go to the capital to settle down. Then without saying much, I closed my eyes and rested. I kept pretending to sleep on the side, and I didn't dare to open my eyes. In my opinion, this cleaning portal probably means dealing with Ning Zhengbo County Governor tonight, so since I only stayed for one night and had to deal with the affairs of the church, I was afraid that something would happen, so I'll send Brother Qiao, your mother to the Wu house in the capital."
Qi'er interrupted at this time, "Miss, do you mean that the governor of County Ning is also a member of the Feitian Sect?"
Huanxiang nodded and said, "Yes. Ning Zhengbo was arranged to be the leader of the city a few years ago. He has made a lot of money in recent years, but he has also paid a lot of money, so the leader is too lazy to pay attention to him. But who would have thought that this guy became more and more arrogant and wanted to open a new stove, so he had to do something to him."
