Yan Lingxian thought that what he said would definitely make his junior sister happy, but Ximen Zhanying seemed not to hear it and just said: "Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, I have something to ask of you."
Xuanyuan Po and Han Tianxiao looked at each other. Seeing Ximen Zhanying's anxious and sad face, Xuanyuan Po immediately asked: "Little junior sister, has something happened?"
"Yes... it's Qining." Ximen Zhanying bit his lips, his eyes red: "You... you go and save him."
Xuanyuan Po looked stern, took a step forward and said, "Little junior sister, have you seen the Marquis? Where is he?"
Han Tianxiao also frowned and asked: "Little junior sister, you were captured by the Black Lotus ghost envoy, how did you escape?"
"It was Qi Ning who saved me." Ximen Zhanying had no time to explain in detail, so he could only say: "I almost died in the hands of the demon. It was Qi Ning who showed up and saved my life. He is now trapped under the trap of the Black Lotus Sect. You must rescue him from the agency."
Xuanyuan Po frowned and said, "A mechanism? Is the young Marquis trapped in a mechanism? Junior sister, what's going on? Don't be impatient and explain it in detail."
Ximen Zhanying was so anxious that he briefly recounted what happened after going up the mountain.
Han Tianxiao asked curiously: "Who is that little witch you are talking about? Why does she take you up the mountain?"
"Third Senior Brother, I will tell you this slowly later. You should quickly find someone to help me rescue Qi Ning." Ximen Zhanying said anxiously: "Among these people, there must be people who are proficient in institutions. Please let them follow me quickly." Go over there." At this point, he suddenly felt dizzy, his feet felt weak, and he almost fell down.
Yan Lingxian was about to reach out to help, but Xuanyuan Po had already reached out and grabbed Ximen Zhanying's arm and ordered: "Bring water!"
Yan Lingxian hurriedly got a water bag and gave Ximen Zhanying a few drinks. Xuanyuan Po helped Ximen Zhanying sit down on the stone pier. Ximen Zhanying relaxed for a while, but his face looked a little pale.
"Third brother, you go find someone." Xuanyuan Po ordered: "We all are good at mechanism skills. You can take someone to rescue the young marquis. If the young marquis makes a mistake, none of us will be able to escape the punishment. "
Han Tianxiao agreed and went to find someone immediately. Ximen Zhanying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You don't know where it is, I will take you there."
Xuanyuan Po said: "Little Marquis Jiren has his own destiny, nothing will happen to him, and there is no need to be too anxious, little junior sister. His martial arts is more powerful than we thought, and the little demon girl can't do anything to him."
Yan Lingxian also said: "Little junior sister, don't worry about him first, pay attention to your own body...!"
"I'm not worried about him, who will?" Ximen Zhanying said angrily: "If it weren't for me, he...!" Suddenly I thought that if Qining went up the mountain because of himself, it would seem that Qining was too selfish. Sometimes he would give someone an excuse and he snorted and said, "That little witch is so scheming. I'm afraid that he will be soft-hearted and fall for that little witch's trick." He glanced at Yan Lingxian and said, "If you don't understand, don't do it." Nonsense.”
Yan Lingxian had good intentions, but he didn't expect to be scolded by Ximen Zhanying. Ximen Zhanying's voice sounded full of worry for Qing Ning. He had known Ximen Zhanying since childhood and knew Ximen Zhanying's temperament. He had never seen her act like this. I felt very uncomfortable worrying about someone, but I didn't know what to say. I walked aside with a sad expression and leaned against a relaxing tree.
"Little Junior Sister, Seventh Junior Brother has no other intentions." Xuanyuan Po was so shrewd that he naturally saw the clues and said softly: "He is also worried about you, that's why he said this. The Black Stone Palace has been controlled by us, and the Black Lotus Sect's The demons are all trapped inside, and if the Marquis is just trapped in the mechanism, nothing will happen to him."
Ximen Zhanying nodded slightly, glanced at Yan Lingxian, and said, "Senior Brother Seventh, I shouldn't have said that. Don't... don't take it to heart."
Yan Lingxian forced a smile and said: "Since I was a child, I have never had anything to argue with you, so don't think too much about it."
"Elder brother, are all the people from the Black Lotus Sect trapped inside?" Ximen Zhanying frowned and asked, "How many people are there?"
Xuanyuan Po said: "There are only more than a hundred people in total, which is beyond my expectation. I thought that the Black Lotus Sect dominates the western border, and there should be a lot of followers..." After thinking about it, he pondered for a moment before saying: "But these The people are well-trained and not just a mob. If it weren't for Fengjian Villa, we might not be able to attack it."
"Fengjian Villa?" Ximen Zhanying was startled, and quickly understood: "Elder brother, when I came up, I saw that the guards of the Black Lotus Sect were killed along the way, and a group of people suddenly came over. Could it be... Could it be Fengjian? People from the Villa?"
Xuanyuan Po nodded and said: "It was Lu Shanghe, the owner of Fengjian Villa, who unexpectedly led a team of men and horses up from the bottom of the mountain. At that time, we attacked from the iron rope. The Black Lotus cultists shot arrows on the iron rope to resist, and we suffered a lot of damage. Manpower, if it weren’t for Lu Shanghe, I’m afraid a lot of people would have to die before we could attack.”
"Lu Shanghe...!" Ximen Zhanying thought for a while and then said: "This person's name is so unfamiliar, but I have heard of Fengjian Villa."
Xuanyuan Po smiled and said: "Master told you about the top ten famous swords in the world. The word "Sword" in Fengjian Villa refers to the Chengying Sword among the top ten famous swords, which ranks sixth, compared to the Golden Phoenix Sword of the Golden Sword Sect. One more level."
"Yes." Ximen Zhanying suddenly remembered, "Father said that the master of Fengjian Villa, Xiang Lao, was very good at swordsmanship. He was once the number one swordsman in the land of Bashu." He said doubtfully: "Elder brother, Fengjian Villa Isn’t it from the Xiang family? How come... Lu Shanghe became the owner of Fengjian Villa? Does the Xiang family have no successor? "
Xuanyuan Po smiled lightly and said: "Lu Shanghe is the sworn brother of the young master of Fengjian Villa. The two of them had a very good relationship at the time. Later, for some unknown reason, the young master of Fengjian Villa suddenly disappeared, leaving both Fengjian Villa and Chengying Sword. It was entrusted to Lu Shanghe, and there has been no news since."
"So that's it." Ximen Zhanying was a little stunned. He glanced at the Black Stone Palace and then asked softly: "Elder brother, I just heard that the Black Lotus Sect captured eight gangs and sixteen sects as hostages. How many people did they capture? people?"
Xuanyuan Po's expression became serious and he said: "They used poison in the mist and attacked and killed them suddenly. Fortunately, some heroes have deep internal strength. Although they were poisoned, they were able to resist and fight to the death with them. Even so, , nearly a hundred people on our side were killed or injured, and more than thirty people were captured by them."
Ximen Zhanying frowned and said: "The mist is indeed poisonous. Senior brother, since the mist is poisonous, why...why do I think everyone seems to be fine? Could it be that...you have found a way to detoxify?"
Xuanyuan Po said softly: "Speaking of which, it still depends on Lu Shanghe. Lu Shanghe made great achievements this time, if it weren't for him...!" But he did not continue.
Ximen Zhanying asked curiously: "Are you saying that Lu Shanghe knows how to detoxify?"
Xuanyuan Po nodded and said: "Many people were poisoned at that time. The poison in the mist can completely wipe out a person's strength, make it difficult to breathe, and make them unable to fight. The Black Lotus Sect took advantage of the moment when everyone was poisoned to attack suddenly. , we lost a lot of people because of this. We were about to lose miserably before our eyes, but unexpectedly Lu Shanghe found me and took out the antidote...!"
"Has he already prepared the antidote?" Ximen Zhanying asked in shock.
Xuanyuan Po nodded and said, "That's true. He only said that he had been given guidance by an expert, so he took precautions early. He also claimed that the expert didn't want to reveal his identity, so it was hard to tell who it was. After all, Lu Shanghe had made great contributions. He won’t tell me, and it’s hard for me to press him.”
"Now these people are very grateful to people named Lu." Yan Lingxian couldn't help but come closer and sneered: "They all regard Lu Shanghe as a great benefactor. They say that Lu Shanghe's Fengjian Villa takes the credit for conquering Qianwu Ridge and wiping out the Black Lotus Sect. Zhiwei, that doesn't mean that we, the Divine Marquis Mansion, are not looking down upon." Seeing Xuanyuan Po look at him coldly, he did not dare to say any more.
"Lu Shanghe saved everyone with medicine, and he also figured out the terrain of Qianwu Ridge and came up from the mountain in a surprise attack...!" Ximen Zhanying frowned, feeling that there was something fishy about this.
Yan Lingxian said from the side: "The members of the Black Lotus Sect are now in the Black Stone Palace, blocking all the doors. We can't go in, and they can't come out." He sneered: "However, this time the two sides fought a bloody battle, and hundreds of people from each gang were killed or injured. , if these Black Lotus sect members cannot be caught in one fell swoop, then no one will give up."
"Elder brother, what are you going to do now?" Ximen Zhanying asked, "Just continue to besiege us here?"
Xuanyuan said: "The Black Lotus cult has no way to go, and there won't be much food and water stored inside. They won't last long. I have ordered a group of people to go down the mountain to get food, grass and water. Wei Shutong, the governor of Xichuan, has already You promised me that you would provide food and grass here and transport it to the foot of the mountain. We also left people at the foot of the mountain to support us. Our food and grass will not be cut off, but the Black Lotus sect cannot survive."
Yan Lingxian sneered: "Let these monsters starve to death inside."
"But what should we do with the people they captured?" Ximen Zhanying frowned and said, "Are we going to starve those hostages to death too?" Thinking of something, he asked, "Yes, senior brother, do we have anyone in the Shenhou Mansion?" Caught in?"
Xuanyuan Po looked solemn, nodded slightly, and said, "Liang Ding and Hu Sheng were both captured by them."
"Senior Brother Ding... Senior Brother Ding was also arrested?" Ximen Zhanying was surprised. Although Liang Ding is not one of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, he has been in the Shenhou Mansion for a long time. He is an old man, capable of doing things, and his martial arts is not weak. He also played an extremely important role in the Shenhou Mansion. This time, he was among the first batch sent to Xichuan as an outpost by the Shenhou Mansion, but he didn't expect that even he would be captured as a hostage.
Yan Lingxian whispered: "If Liang Ding and Hu Sheng weren't in their hands, the Black Stone Palace would have been burned down long ago."
"In addition to them, among the eight gangs and sixteen factions, there are still six gang leaders who fell into their hands." Xuanyuan Po said solemnly: "They had a target in mind when arresting people. They only captured the leaders and leaders of the gangs. Ordinary gang leaders People, they don’t care.”
Yan Lingxian sneered and said: "To shoot a man first, shoot a horse, and to capture a thief first capture the king. Those monsters understand this truth." As soon as the words came out, he felt that he had made a mistake. Doesn't this mean that all the heroes in the world are thieves, which is a bit embarrassing. , fortunately Xuanyuan Po and Ximen Zhanying ignored it.
