Chapter 314 Wu Feng is a neighbor?
An emergency occurred and the leisurely vacation was suspended. A group of people gathered in the teahouse of Miaoxiaju.
Gong Yuanzheng left the others in the tea room and stood guard outside the study door with a sword in hand.
In the study, Gong Shangjiao opened the specially made bamboo tube in front of Zhang Xueming, took out the small note inside and handed it to him.
There were only ten words written on the note: Liu'an, all is well, no result, now, looking forward to return.
Such information would be like a secret book to others, but Zhang Xueming understood what it meant at a glance: "It wasn't sent by Uncle Qiu, it was from my hometown."
Gong Shangjiao was a little disappointed.
Zhang Xueming frowned, pondering the meaning of "in front of you". He stroked the note closer and closer, then put it to his nose and sniffed it. After confirming that there was no mystery, he put his hand down.
Suddenly, her eyes became stern, and she raised the note again, staring at the words "in front of me", her expression becoming a little ugly: "It's dark under the lamp?"
Gong Shangjiao waited patiently for Zhang Xueming to calm down before asking her, "What happened? What's wrong?"
Zhang Xueming said softly: "Be prepared, brother, Wufeng's headquarters may be not far from the palace gate."
Gong Shangjiao was startled, then calmed down and asked, "Can you tell me?"
Zhang Xueming had already opened the sliding door. Seeing Gong Yuanzheng, whose expression was not very good, he turned around and said, "Let's go, brother. Let's talk in the tea room. I still have questions to confirm with Brother Huanyu and Xue Chongzi."
When they returned to the tea room, the three people looked back to normal and sat down beside the tea table.
Gong Shangjiao shook his head at Gong Huanyu: "It's not the news from those sects."
Gong Huanyu's shoulders drooped, but Gong Zishang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Xueming openly spread the note on the table, pointed at the words "Liu'an" on it, and said to Gong Yuanzheng: "Ayuan, the Sixth Old Master, that is, your grandfather, is in good health. You don't have to worry."
Gong Yuanzheng nodded, a slight smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
What he was actually worried about was that he was going to the North to get married, and there was a funeral at his maternal grandparents' home, so his wedding would definitely have to be postponed. He hoped that the album would be delivered as soon as possible, and that Zhang Xueming's adoptive parents would see the friendship between him and Zhang Xueming and be ready to accept him as their cousin and son-in-law.
Otherwise, he has never met his blood relatives in the North, so how could he have any feelings for them?
Zhang Xueming pointed at "Jie'an" and "Pangui" and said, "Everyone in your hometown is doing well. We hope you can go back and meet your relatives soon."
But in my heart I was saying: [It is more likely that they are looking forward to our return and marriage. After all, you are my medicine, and they wish to lock you and me together.]
Gong Yuanzheng's smile deepened.
Everyone thought he was happy that his grandparents welcomed him, but in his heart he was asking Zhang Xueming: [What if you recover? ]
Zhang Xueming smiled helplessly: [My illness cannot be cured. I will probably have to take medicine for the rest of my life.]
【You said it.】
【I said it.】
Gong Yuanzheng lowered his head, hiding his excitement, and smiled contentedly.
After explaining the rest of the secret letter in public to prove its credibility, Zhang Xueming looked at the people waiting for the next message and clicked "No result": "It can be confirmed that Wufeng's headquarters has not left the Southland."
Then he added: "It's dark under the lamp. My family reminded me that the place is probably not far from us."
Gong Shangjiao pretended to be surprised: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Xueming did not answer but asked: "Brother, have you explored the entire Wax Mist Mountain Range and the palace gate?"
Gong Shangjiao looked at Gong Huanyu. Gong Huanyu was not stupid. Thinking of a certain possibility, his scalp went numb: "No. In the palace books I have read, there are not many records related to the Wax Mist Mountain Range."
Zhang Xueming asked Xue Chongzi again: "Have you, the Xue family, explored all the snow-capped mountains in the Wax Mist Mountains?"
Xue Chongzi frowned and shook his head: "Only the snow mountain group where the Snow Palace is located has been explored... No, the exploration of this area is not complete. There are detailed exploration records from the main peak to the south to the five peaks where the Snow Palace is located. This is also the range of activities of the Xue clan. To the north, the snow is over the knees, and there are many cracks under the snow. It is very dangerous."
They had all read the materials submitted by the four Feng family members. The descriptions of Wufeng's headquarters were similar: there was snow all year round. Half of the building was in the cave, and the other half was suspended in the air. Looking out the window, the snow-capped mountains were surrounding it, towering into the clouds.
As expected, it is in the area north of the main peak that has not been explored by the palace gate.
It was like a bolt of thunder from the blue that hit them on the top of their heads, and all the palace guards were stunned.
After coming to his senses, he had the urge to cover his face: It is true that the darkest place is under the lamp. After more than 30 years of hostility, he only now discovered that Wufeng might be Gongmen’s neighbor.
Gongmen also has to thank the fact that the snow-capped mountains have many peaks and a large range. The main peak is separated from the north by a dangerous snow belt, so Wufeng did not directly explore the core of Gongmen, but went around to give Gongmen a critical hit... By the way, does Wufeng know that they are neighbors with Gongmen?
Gong Huanyu pursed his lips and said, "No wonder that power is not worried that Wufeng will escape from his control. There must be miasma there all year round, but the miasma is thin and the toxins are not serious, so they have never discovered it."
Everyone has a ball of venom in their brain, so of course they will obey orders.
Gong Yuanzheng tilted his head: "Or maybe the Wufeng high-level people only go there for a gathering once every two weeks, so they don't inhale much. And low-level assassins are replaced quickly, and the toxins in the miasma don't kill people directly, but only accelerate death. That's why it didn't attract the attention of the high-level people?"
Gong Zishang sighed bitterly, "It's useless to know that Wufeng is next door. There are snow belts and countless mountains between us. If they can't get through, how can we get through? It's a pity that Dianzhu Company's powerful jackdaws are well protected, and all entrances and exits are through secret passages. The entrance and exit are not the same, and there are four secret passages known to jackdaws alone... Are we fighting a group of rats?"
Gong Yuanzheng sneered: "They are just a bunch of rats who can only crawl into the sewers."
It is said that the four secret passages are guarded at a distance from the exits, and when the jackdaws get there, they have to wear blindfolds and earplugs and be led by someone. After they go out of the exit, a carriage will pick them up and take them to the base before they are allowed to take off their blindfolds and earplugs.
The same process applies when going back, making sure the location of the secret passage is not exposed.
Until now, the two jackdaws still refused to reveal the location of the two town strongholds that were used alternately, saying that they were afraid of alerting the enemy at the palace gate and cutting off the clues. In fact, everyone knew what they were planning.
Zhang Xueming thought about it and drew a simple map of the south on rice paper.
After some estimation, the locations of Dafu City, Hunyuan City, Yuanjiang City, Yunxi Town, and the dock town outside the Jiuchen Valley were marked on the map according to proportions. The approximate locations of Jiuchen Town, Wanhua Tower, the palace gate, and the Snow Palace on the mountain behind the palace gate were also marked.
Then, she pushed the map to Gong Huanyu: "Brother Huanyu, on the morning when the bride-to-be arrived at Jiuchen Valley, an outpost was attacked. Can you mark the location of this outpost?"
Apart from Gong Shangjiao, no one else present understood the value of Zhang Xueming's ability to draw maps with his bare hands and also to measure distances and mark locations.
Gong Shangjiao looked at Zhang Xueming deeply and finally confirmed her identity.
