Jing Yi said: "It was also done by the White Lotus Sect. That place used to be a stronghold of the White Lotus Sect, and the corpses buried in the cellar were all followers of the White Lotus Sect. It is rumored that the White Lotus Sect has a tradition of offering sacrifices... Jing Zhaofu believes that, Those who died were probably voluntary sacrifices."

Voluntary sacrifice?

This White Lotus Sect is a big cult!

"How did the White Lotus Sect come about? How long has it been introduced to Dazhou?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Jing Yi pondered, "I don't know how it came about, it just... suddenly appeared, and it seems like it has been preaching for more than ten or twenty years."

Su Xiaoxiao was thoughtful.

I heard from Wei Ting that the archer came from a Jianghu organization that was wiped out many years ago.

Maybe, the White Lotus Sect was established by the remnants of that Jianghu organization.

Back then, Wei Ting's grandfather Wu Anjun led troops to wipe out that Jianghu organization, and the other party must have hated Wu Anjun and the Wei family to the bone.

Thinking of Wei Ting's repeated assassinations, and the pusher behind Wei and Qin's hatred, Su Xiaoxiao always felt that this White Lotus Sect was very suspicious.

...

Protector's Mansion.

Qin Canglan had just taken Su Cheng to the military camp for a tour. Next month, Su Cheng will be handing over military power. Before that, he hoped to let Su Cheng get acquainted with the environment first.

He didn't force Su Cheng to move back to Duke Hu's mansion. Su Cheng needs to slowly adapt to his identity, so he can't be impatient.

Back in the yard, he had someone call Guanshi Cen to the study.

"What happened to Qin Jiang?"

he asked.

Cen Guanshi said: "The imperial doctor has seen it, and said... the injury is too serious, and the right leg is probably going to be disabled."

Qin Canglan didn't speak.

Steward Cen asked tentatively, "Old Master, don't you feel sad?"

Qin Canglan gave him a cold look: "Are you crazy or am I crazy?"

Cen Guanshi smiled mischievously: "The little one is talking too much."

From the moment Qin Jiang framed Su Cheng, he was no longer innocent. Unless Qin Canglan was crazy, he would never be able to sympathize with Qin Jiang.

Qin Canglan thought for a while and said, "Let them move out!"

Originally thinking that they were the blood of the Qin family, they were given a shelter in the West Courtyard, but one was more restless than the other, and even at a young age, Qin Yun dealt with the two dogs repeatedly.

This time it was even more dangerous.

If Wei Ting hadn't put a hand on it, Er Gou's head would have been pierced through.

None of these evils can stay in the house.

Guanshi Cen was not surprised by this decision. The old Huguogong is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person, but he is by no means a soft-hearted person. If he dares to attack a few young masters, he will just wait to be kicked out.

Just as Guanshi Cen was about to respond, his servants reported that Qin Yanran had come.

Qin Canglan's face was shrouded in shadows, obscure and difficult to distinguish.

Steward Cen glanced at him cautiously, and asked, "Little one...send him away?"

Qin Canglan said calmly, "Let her in."

Steward Cen waved his hand at the boy, the boy understood and led Qin Yanran into the study.

Qin Yanran's clothes are plain and her hair accessories are simple.

She bowed slowly to Qin Canglan who was seated: "Yanran is here to bid farewell to grandfather."

Qin Canglan said coldly, "I'm not your grandfather."

Qin Yanran didn't seem to hear Qin Canglan's words, lowered her eyebrows, and said softly: "We are moving out of the house. Thank you for your kindness in nurturing us all these years. Yanran... goodbye!"

After finishing speaking, she knelt down slowly and gave Qin Canglan three heavy kowtows.

Watching her leaving back, Cen Guanshi was at a loss: "Master, this is..."

Qin Canglan said flatly, "Don't worry about it, let her go."

"Then... do you want to send someone to watch?"

"No."

Qin Yanran didn't take too many things with her, and dismissed the servants in the yard, leaving only a few confidantes who took care of them, and then got into the carriage leaving the house.

Xu Qing put her box away and was about to go out.

"Sit down." Qin Yanran said.

Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, and sat down opposite Qin Yanran. He stretched out his hand and gestured to the driver outside as a sign to go.

The carriage slowly drove out of the Duke Protector's Mansion.

The sky was completely dark, and the carriage was pitch black.

Xu Qing asked, "But do you want to light the lamp?"

Qin Yanran didn't answer his words, but said lightly: "Xu Qing, after leaving this mansion, I will no longer be the eldest lady of the Duke Protector's mansion. Are you sure you are still following us?"

Xu Qingdao: "Master saved the lives of his subordinates, and his subordinates will be loyal to him for the rest of their lives."

Qin Yanran asked: "What about me? Will you also serve me?"

In the darkness, she stared at Xu Qing with a pair of clear and beautiful eyes.

Xu Qing's eyes moved, he got up, knelt down on one knee, and said, "This subordinate is willing to go through fire and water for Miss, and I will die!"

After the three-day holiday, Gong Xue resumed classes.

Su Xiaoxiao came late, and most of the daughters in the classroom had already arrived.

Everyone gathered around Miss Wang's table and whispered together.

"Have you heard? The competition between Qin Jiang and Duke Hu Guo is over."

"Three days have passed, and of course it's over."

"Do you know who won?"

"Of course it's Qin Jiang! That Su Cheng grew up in the countryside, how can he compare to Qin Jiang who has been raised in the Duke's mansion for twenty years?"

"Then you are really wrong! Su Cheng is the one who won!"

"how is this possible?"

"That's right, how could Su Cheng beat Qin Jiang? Two out of three rounds, which two did he win?"

"He won all three competitions, including martial arts competition, riding and archery, and art of war!"

There was a gasp in the classroom.

Obviously, everyone was very surprised by this result.

Ms. Wang, who was packing her books, said suspiciously: "Qin Jiang lost, and Ms. Qin will be pitiful in the future... Will she still come to class?"

This question was successfully asked by everyone.

That's right, Qin Yanran is not Qin Canglan's granddaughter, her status is already embarrassing, and now her father has lost his real power, how will she gain a foothold in the capital in the future?

Lu Hui, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, said softly, "You... haven't heard yet? Miss Qin, she... had an accident."

Royal study.

Xiao Duye knelt on the ground with a dignified expression, while Xiao Chonghua and the other two princes stood aside with solemn expressions.

Emperor Jingxuan sat behind the desk opposite them, his expression furious.

He looked coldly at Xiao Duye who lowered his head, and said sharply: "You did a good job!"

Emperor Jingxuan was not a moody emperor, on the contrary, he seldom got angry, and being able to push him to this extent showed how angry he was.

It is true that there are also reasons for his various unsatisfactory things recently.

There was no sound in the imperial study room.

Eunuch Fu came to the door with a pot of tea. When he heard the emperor's anger, he closed his eyes and decided not to go in to give the head away.

"She is your third brother's fiancee!" Emperor Jing Xuan was about to explode.

Xiao Duye lowered his head aggrievedly: "I...I have no choice but to..."

Emperor Jingxuan snorted coldly: "You have no choice? Is there no one on the shore?"
