Chapter 28: Suspicions
The crowd in front of the temple gradually dispersed, and the people in the temple were still looking for the missing lot.
"It's weird, that sign is obviously there...... And I saw that there was a girl who had taken the ......" Two people came out of the temple, and one of them scratched his head and said with a puzzled expression.
That man was one of the people guarding the sticker.
"Are you sure you're right?" asked the other in surprise.
"How could this be wrong! I'll wonder who drew the lottery......
"Do you see the man's appearance clearly? I took the lot here from a very handsome son, and the girl of yours really missed a good marriage in vain. ”
"I can see clearly, that girl is very beautiful, and I can't help but look at it a few more times...... Hey, that's the one—ouch!" the man was halfway through his words, looking at Chi Xiaoman, who was turning around and wanting to leave with Yu Chimu, and was about to stop them, when he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head, and he fell to the ground and fainted.
The companion next to him was startled and exclaimed, "Hey, what's wrong with you!"
Chi Xiaoman heard the exclamation, and when he turned around, he saw a person lying on the ground not far behind him, and Yu Chimu and Shangzi looked around vigilantly.
"Ziqi, go after that person!" Yu Chimu suddenly saw a black shadow flash from a big tree behind the temple, and shouted in that direction.
Shang Ziqi nodded, and immediately chased in the direction where the man had disappeared.
"You ......" Chi Xiaoman glanced at him in surprise, he didn't expect him to care about such a nosy thing.
Yu Chi Mu frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid that person has something to do with that stick, otherwise it won't hurt anyone." With his internal strength, he naturally heard the words of the two people just now, but he was not interested in knowing who the woman who drew lots and did not show up was, so he didn't think to ask.
But he didn't expect that the other party would hurt someone because of a lot, could it be that the owner of the draw was still here? He remembered that the attacked signkeeper seemed to make a rather surprised sound before he fainted, as if he saw someone trying to stop the other party, but he was attacked before he could do so.
He looked around, there were quite a lot of people here, especially if something happened, there were even more people around, and he didn't know who the sign-keeper wanted to call. Now it can only be affirmed that the person who hurt people is not the owner of the lot, so he is afraid that the owner of the sign will be discovered?
Why is that?
"Hurt people for signing?" Chi Xiaoman looked puzzled.
"I just heard their conversation, and the injured man was one of the people who was guarding the lottery, and he saw which girl had taken the marriage lot, but he was attacked in the middle of speaking. Wei Chimu walked over to check on the injured man.
Chi Xiaoman followed behind him, thinking about what he said, he felt strange in his heart, and a thought flashed in his mind - could it be that the owner of that lottery actually knew Wei Chimu, and he also knew that he had drawn another similar lot, so he deliberately did not come forward. Can...... Why is that? dislike him, or do you have a grudge against him at all?
If it's not the same person, it must be the same person? Because I don't want the owner of the signature to be recognized, I hurt people!
"How's he doing?" she asked, crouching down beside him.
"I was hit by this ingot of broken silver, and I only fainted temporarily, but ...... The silver was poisonous, and it had seeped into him. He said to the other signator, "Take him to the infirmary!"
Chi Xiaoman looked at the broken silver on the square handkerchief in his hand, the silver was all black, and he couldn't help but be a little shocked. I didn't expect the other party to be so vicious, did he want to kill people?
I drew a lot, and it hurt people if I didn't show up, it's so complicated......
She really couldn't figure it out at all.
"I'm afraid that the old man you met is the conspiracy that led us to ask for a signature...... Now I can only hope that Ziqi can catch up with that person, otherwise it will be difficult to know the ins and outs of this matter. Although Wei Chimu guessed like this, he couldn't figure out what the purpose of asking them to sign was?
If it was his enemy who deliberately wanted to arrange for a woman to come to him, then why didn't the woman come forward?
"Let's go back to the inn first!" he figured it was time to send someone from the Shadow Pavilion to investigate the matter.

On the other end, Shang Ziqi chased after him, but found that the other party was above him, only to see that the distance between the other party and himself was getting farther and farther, he didn't want to hurt people, but he couldn't catch up without hurting people!
In desperation, he had no choice but to buckle three darts in his hand and inject internal force to shoot towards the man.
His kung fu is known for his swordsmanship and hidden weapons, and his internal strength is the highest in the Shadow Pavilion, except for the Pavilion Master and Du Zuo's envoy, so although the distance is farther, it is not difficult to hit the enemy.
Chu Qianqian heard the sound of breaking the sky behind her, and her willow eyebrows were upside down. I thought to myself: Okay, you Shangziqi, do you want to kill me?
The delicate body flashed to the right, dodging a dart, but she didn't expect Shang Ziqi to make up her mind to catch someone, the three darts were shot out on the left, center, and right, no matter which way she dodged, she had to be hit.
"Ah......h I couldn't lift it in one breath and fell to the ground.
She gritted her teeth and stood up in pain, wanting to continue running, but her leg injury made her light skills much weaker, and she was gradually caught up by Shang Ziqi after a while.
"You're still running!" chased closer, Shang Ziqi saw that she was a woman, so she didn't want to use a hidden weapon anymore, and she didn't draw her sword, but only waved the scabbard horizontally, and blocked her way.
Chu Qianqian pulled out the sword at her waist to block back, and the two of them were extremely fast, and in an instant, they fought with five or six moves, and the sword sounded.
"You're Qianqian?" Shang Ziqi exclaimed. He could tell who she was by the way she wielded the sword.
"I didn't expect you to recognize it. Chu Qianqian collected the sword. She didn't want to fight with Shang Ziqi, because her swordsmanship was not as good as his, and now her leg was injured again, and it was inconvenient to perform light skills, if she really wanted to escape, she could only use poison, but she knew that once she used poison on the people in the Shadow Pavilion, let the Pavilion Master know, she would definitely be expelled from the Shadow Pavilion.
"I'm sorry I hurt you, but why did you hurt that person? And shouldn't you have already returned to Yasukuni?" Shang Ziqi couldn't understand her intentions at all.
"You don't have to know!" she said, sitting on the floor, pulling the dart out of her leg and tossing it aside. Then I poured some hemostatic medicine for myself and put it on my leg.
"You...... Are you alright?" hurt her, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Chu Qianqian glanced at him, "You let me shoot a dart." ”
Naoko prayed hehe
"Hey, you won't really take me to see the Pavilion Master, will you?" she felt a little uneasy in her heart, if he really wanted to take her to see Wei Chimu, whether she would run away or not?
"I ......" Shang Ziqi frowned, and asked instead of answering: "I heard what that person said, do you know who the girl who drew the Heavenly Marriage Lottery is?" He wanted to protect the safety of the prince and Miss Chi, so he naturally kept paying attention to the surroundings, and of course he listened to the conversation between the two people word for word.
Chu Qianqian sneered: "So what?"
"I know you like the pavilion master, but if you hurt people at will like this, you are not afraid that the pavilion master will find out and pursue you?"
"Are you going to report me to the Pavilion Master?" she said with a cold face.
Shang Ziqi smiled bitterly, he hadn't thought about it like this, when he saw that it was her, he was actually a little happy, and he was very happy to see her here. I know that she likes the pavilion master, but this doesn't prevent him from liking her!
"No, I just want to know the purpose of your injury. ”
"Knowingly, you all know that I like the pavilion master, how can I let other women be by his side, and it will be an eyesore when I see him!" she pursed her lips and struggled to stand up, but she didn't want something to fall out of her arms because of too much movement.
"You...... That one is on you?" Shang Ziqi looked at it, and it was actually the missing one.
She won the lottery but didn't get the poem...... No, if that's the case, she doesn't need to hurt the signkeeper, the signkeeper has his back to her, and the person who sees it is not her.
She just said...... Seeing other women around the pavilion master is an eyesore, could it be ......
He was stunned and said, "Could it be that this lottery belongs to Miss Chi......?"
"Naturally, I replaced it. Chu Qianqian said angrily: "Now that you know everything, what do you want to do with me?"
"I ......" for a while, he didn't know what to do.
Chu Qianqian smiled, smiled very charmingly, and said softly: "Ziqi, don't arrest me back, okay? Do you want me to be expelled from the Shadow Pavilion?"
She had long known that Shang Ziqi liked her, but she didn't feel anything for him, she only loved the pavilion master! For three years, she had been secretly in love with Yu Chimu, and she was the happiest to know that Cheng Yin was married to the prince, although she knew how deeply that incident hurt Yu Chimu, but she felt that this was an opportunity given to her by God!
It's a pity that although Wei Chimu was most disappointed in the days, he didn't respond to her concerns at all. But she still couldn't give up, maybe it was because of Wei Chimu's infatuation that she felt like she had been poisoned, and she loved him and couldn't extricate herself.
