Chapter 174
Qiao Xianyong was still thinking about what Huanxiang said carefully, but his face became dimmer and dimmer. He smiled and said with a tragic smile, "Miss Huanxiang, what do you mean is that I have lived in the same mansion with my biological mother at several places, but I have no idea, and I can't even save her? I am a son!"
Seeing Qiao Xianyong's face was pale, Huanxiang couldn't help but feel sad for him and comforted him, "Brother Qiao, I only know this. But I don't know what method they used to coax the old lady to tell you so much about your childhood. However, when I approached the garden where the old lady lived, I probably looked at it and saw that the garden was beautifully decorated. Because it was because of the old lady's request, it must have been treated well. Brother Qiao, since we already know that the old lady was sent to the capital, there is still a chance. I think the most urgent thing now is, what should we do now? Seeing that Mrs. Wu is coming back."
Qi'er kept standing by the window and looked around, and said in a low voice, "It seems like there is a light of fire, as if it is coming to us."
"I am determined to pretend that I don't know anything. But I also have to think of countermeasures. There are too many questions now. What is the Feitian Sect's fancy to this star constellation map? Where is the star constellation map hidden? I must find a way to figure it out!" Qiao Xianyong said gritting his teeth.
The voices became more and more buzzing. Huanxiang asked while panickingly looking at the direction of the door, "Brother Qiao, I think the leader not only wants the star map in your hand, but some of his actions seem to be coming for you. Is there any grudge between you and the leader who can celebrate the holiday?"
Ling Feier, the leader of the Feitian Sect, was simply repaid with grudges. Qiao Xianyong thought to himself. Could there be anything else that could not be able to celebrate the festival? At that time, she had saved her more than once at the Wushan Martial Arts Festival, but now she turned around and kidnapped her mother. Ling Feier, next time she met, she would not be polite. But she is now in great power, so what should she do?
Qiao Xianyong was still silent, and the door of the house opened with a "creak" sound. Mrs. Wu walked into the house with a angrily face. Qiao Xianyong and Huanxiang hurriedly stood up. When Mrs. Wu saw Qiao Xianyong, she seemed to immediately suppress her anger and filled her with a smile. This smile was originally very friendly, but at this moment she felt that the corners of her mouth and teeth were all false.
Mrs. Wu held Qiao Xianyong's hand tightly and said tremblingly, "Yong'er, I'm scaring you. Ning Zhengbo turned out to be a slave of the Wu family. A few years ago, our family praised him and donated an official position to him. Unexpectedly, he was so disobedient and caused many things. Even if we don't follow the family rules today, someone in the court will definitely come to arrest him in a few days."
Qiao Xianyong was amused when he heard Mrs. Wu’s words that the bullhead was not right. Although this court official was a "slave in the family", how could he kill him just by saying that he was killed? If the court really wanted to investigate, it would probably end up with the Wu family and he would just have to make money on the charge of "robber murder".
After thinking about it, Qiao Xianyong still pretended to be worried and said, "Mother, although I have never seen such a situation, I have been calm and prepared for my mother. It has been more than a day or two to come to the Ning County Magistrate. Maybe my mother has prepared to treat this evil thief. My son is just concerned about his mother's health, so it would be fine if it doesn't get in the way."
When Mrs. Wu heard that Qiao Xianyong was not suspicious, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yong'er, these are just some messy things in the Wu Mansion, but you don't have to worry. Ning Zhengbo, a villain, has no restraint, I don't know what he asked you late at night and said something that was okay."
When Qiao Xianyong heard this, he knew that Mrs. Wu had indeed suspected that County Magistrate Ning had revealed some information, so he came around the bush. So he pretended to recall, and after a moment of silence, he said he hesitantly, "Mother, Ning Zhengbo had just entered my house and said a few words before he could say a few words. My son recalled the scene just now and asked me what treasure maps were like. It was also strange to me that if my son really had any treasure maps, wouldn't he have given them to my mother long ago? What's ridiculous is that there was no such thing on me, but he still said that everyone in the martial arts world in the Central Plains was looking for me, saying that I had any treasure maps of Tongtian Sect Master."
Mrs. Wu did not expect that what Ning Zhengbo and Qiao Xianyong said was exactly what they tried to hide from each other, but Ning Zhengbo said a few words. Anger appeared on his face. After a moment of silence, he said, "Yong'er, although I am not a martial arts world, the Wu family has a great business. In order to protect the safety of the family, I can't help but raise a group of people in the world. Therefore, I have indeed heard some rumors in recent days. I think that since I can hear that Ning Zhengbo is a dog thief who wants to get rich and crazy, he may have finally met you, so I will come and inquire."
Qiao Xianyong said with a hard-wrenching look, "Mother, my son has been with his mother and sister these days, but he doesn't know what chaos has happened in the martial arts world. Listening to his mother's words, it seems that what Ning County Guard said is not groundless. If the mother is tireless, can she also tell her son? What rumors about her son, and if the son encounters related matters in the future, it will be easier to deal with."
Mrs. Wu was originally angry that County Magistrate Ning poked the window paper, but now Qiao Xianyong took the initiative to ask, which saved her from asking for trouble many times. For her, she was just asking for help, so she didn't care about whether she was tired or not. So she glanced at the house and said, "Qi'er and others are leaving and close the door. The young master and the lady, I have something to do in the house. Just stay and serve Mr. Zhang."
Qiao Xianyong didn't force Qi'er to leave. Seeing the people in the room dispersed, only three of them were sitting around Yuanji. Mrs. Zhang looked gloomy and stood behind Mrs. Wu as usual.
"Yong'er," Mrs. Wu pondered for a moment, thought about the words, and said, "Since you already know something, I won't hide it from you. In fact, I'm very strange. Since I saw you, we two have talked about your life experience in the past ten years and have always followed Wei Daxia. But I don't know when a strange rumor emerged in the world, saying that the wealth of heaven, the hidden stars of the stars, the descendants of the blacksmith, Qiao Xianyong, and you know that you have a treasure. I wonder if you have heard of this statement more or less?" Mrs. Wu raised her head and stared at Qiao Xianyong.
Qiao Xianyong stood up instead, walked slowly for a few steps, frowned and said, "I have never heard of these few melodies. I think there are many people in the world named Qiao Xianyong, but when they say they are descendants of blacksmiths, they are afraid that there will be few. But this rumor is very strange. How can the wealth of heaven fall on me?"
Mrs. Wu stared at Qiao Xianyong's face and said calmly, "Yong'er, my mother is also strange. The wealth of Tongtian in this mantra is probably nothing more than the person of Tongtian Sect Master. Not only is it skillful, but it is indeed rich enough to compete with the country. However, according to legend, the Tongtian Sect Master suddenly disappeared one day, and his rivals searched through the entire Central Plains and could not find it. After he disappeared, everyone snatched all the wealth in his house, but strangely, everyone at that time said that the property found in his home was probably only one percent of the property of Tongtian Sect Master. Over the years, there have been legends in the world that this Tongtian Sect Master
The Master of Heaven buried the countless wealth he had collected in a mysterious place. After the Master of Tongtian disappeared, the legend of his wealth attracted many people to travel around the Central Plains to search, and the number of people died in these disputes, but no one succeeded. Over time, the treasure hunting spirit faded, and the wealth of the Master of Tongtian became a distant legend. However, for some reason, it became prosperous again during this period, and even the names and surnames mentioned you, and my mother also felt it was extremely strange." After saying that, Mrs. Wu stared at Qiao Xianyong without blinking, as if she wanted to see something in his face.
Qiao Xianyong guessed in his heart that the leader of Tongtian probably really had a lot of wealth, but it was not at the bottom of Wushan Valley, and he didn't know where he was hiding it. But no matter what, according to the text description on the sheepskin scroll star map, this star map is definitely not a treasure map. What Mrs. Wu said is naturally true and false, and probably she wanted to tell me where she found the star map. The real purpose was.
Qiao Xian Yong replied indifferently, "Mother, my son really can't think of where this rumor came from. I don't know who he offended in his life, so he made up such rumor to frame his son."
When Mrs. Wu heard that he refused to admit it, she thought about it and said, "Yong'er, there is another thing you should know. A few days ago, my mother told you that the Wu family had an irreconcilable enemy, and was also a descendant of Ling Zi Palace, the leader of Tongtian Sect, and was named Ling Buzhen."
Qiao Xianyong nodded and said, "Son remember." But he thought to himself that Ling Buzhen thought it was a deceptive word made up by the people of the Feitian Sect, so he could hear what Mrs. Wu would say.
Mrs. Wu immediately said, "A few days ago, I received a tip again saying that Ling Buzhen was still burning the Wu family's house. Every time she burned, she left a few big words for me to return the star map. In addition, the rumors in the world, my mother had to wonder if Ling Buzhen had heard about the mother and son recognizing each other again, and she could hear that you were related to this star map, so she used this method to demonstrate to us. I have to say that my mother was very worried. Ling Buzhen was very capable. If she really came to the door, what should we do?" Mrs. Wu looked sad and looked like she was aged teenager.
