355 hours
Midnight.
Zhang Yuan was in a good mood, lying in the peach blossom forest, holding a pot of pear blossoms that were only produced in this yin and yang day in his hand, squinting his eyes, and drinking comfortably.
The fragrance of flowers is companionship, and the breeze is companion.
Really, if you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk.
There was a mouthful of mellow and fragrant wine, and Zhang Yuan couldn't help but hum. The dissonant sound wandered away in the pear forest.
Suddenly, the pear tree not far away suddenly moved, and the petals fell with it.
"How's things going?" Sen Leng's voice suddenly sounded, scaring Zhang Yuan, who was lying on the ground, trembled, and the pear blossom in his hand that was about to finish drinking was drunk and subconsciously threw it out, hurriedly got up, turned around, didn't even dare to raise his head, and hurriedly replied: "Elder Hui, the person was taken away by Elder Yuan!"
"What are you talking about!" Qi Ming stood not far away, looking at Zhang Yuan, who bowed his head and looked extremely respectful, and suddenly became angry!
Although Zhang Yuan had already rehearsed in his heart that Qi Ming might get angry after learning about this, he had already thought of several excuses to deal with it, but at this time, facing Qi Ming's anger in person, he was still extremely nervous.
"After Elder Yuan came, the disciple hinted at Elder Yuan as you ordered, and Elder Yuan really made a move against that Lin Xuan. However, I didn't expect that Elder Yuan to be so useless, not only did he treat that Lin Xuan, but he also lost a hand. Zhang Yuan said as he cautiously raised his head and glanced at Qi Ming's face, and after seeing that his brows were getting tighter and tighter, and his expression was getting more and more ugly, his heart was slightly relieved.
"And then?" Qi Ming asked after a pause.
Zhang Yuan replied: "Later, that Elder Yuan seemed to have persuaded the Qiheyuan to help, kidnapped Lin Xuan's junior sister, and led Lin Xuan to Qiheyuan. At this time, people should have been controlled in the habitat and garden!"
"Qiheyuan?" Qi Ming heard this, and a little doubt flashed in his eyes: "That Lu You is actually in Wushan City! Do you know why he came?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head: "This disciple doesn't know. The disciple also learned from Elder Yuan that Lu Gongzi was here. ”
After hearing this, Qi Ming pondered. After a while, he suddenly looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "You are guarding here, if that Yu Xin comes back, stabilize him first no matter what, and let him wait for me here." ”
Zhang Yuan hurriedly responded.
Qi Ming looked at him and snorted: "If such a simple thing can't be done again, then you don't have to go back to the door!
Zhang Yuan's face suddenly turned pale.
......
At this time, Wushan City was basically asleep, and only a few all-night wine shops and a gold cave were still lit with candles. The cold and dim street is silent and empty.
When the wind blows, only the guigns on both sides make the sound of hunting in the wind.
Qi Ming didn't go directly to Qiheyuan, he walked slowly on the empty street alone, looking at the shops around him that had long been closed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a stick of incense, he slowly walked to Kangshou Street.
The lantern hanging at the entrance of the garden is still lit.
After Qi Ming stood in the distance and took a look, his feet moved, and he appeared directly at the gate of Qihe Garden. Glanced up at the plaque, and then looked down at the stone steps, and after a touch of jealousy in his eyes, he raised his hand, flicked his fingers, and a wisp of sword qi flew out and gently landed on the copper ring on the gate.
The brass ring is fastened on the auxiliary head at the back, making a crisp sound, which is particularly loud in this silent night.
Not long after the sound fell, the door opened.
Lu You, who was carrying a lantern, walked out, and when he saw Qi Ming outside the door, he was not surprised, and bowed with a smile: "Lu You has seen Elder Qi!"
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and Lu Gongzi's cultivation seems to have improved a lot. Qi Ming said with a smile.
Lu You smiled shyly, then turned sideways and said, "Elder Qi, please." ”
Qi Ming waved his hand and said, "The old man won't go in." The old man came here to ask you something. ”
"Elder Qi, please speak. ”
"Elder Yuan can be inside?" Qi Ming asked.
Lu You glanced at him and replied, "No." ”
Qi Ming frowned slightly, and then asked, "Then, that Lin Xuan, is there?"
Lu You nodded: "Yes." ”
Qi Ming's expression moved slightly, and he asked again, "What does Elder Yuan plan to do with him?"
"This junior doesn't know. Lu You smiled.
Qi Ming didn't doubt this, and after thinking about it, he asked him again, "Lin Xuan's junior sister, is she also here?"
"She's gone. Lu You replied.
"Gone?" Qi Ming was slightly surprised and asked, "Where did you go?"
"This junior doesn't know. Lu You said: "Elder Yuan instructed that when Lin Xuan arrives in this habitat and garden, he will let this Lin girl go." The younger generation just did it. ”
After Qi Ming heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised that Yuan Changqing was quite restrained this time, which was not like his usual style of acting. Then he changed the subject and asked him, "When did you come here?"
"Just arrived two days ago. Lu You replied.
"Coming here to do something?" Qi Ming asked again.
Lu You shook his head: "It's just to distract yourself." Elder Qi also knows that I like the customs here. ”
"I forgot. The scenery here is really good. Qi Ming laughed, and then there was a glimmer of light in his hand, and there were two more jars of wine. Qi Ming threw his hand into Lu You's arms, Lu You shook his sleeves, and rolled up the two jars of wine that flew in, and the wine jars disappeared.
"Thank you, Elder Qi. Lu You smiled and arched his hand.
Qi Ming waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to be polite, and then said, "If Elder Yuan comes back, please bring him a message, saying that I am waiting for him in Yin and Yang Tian." ”
After speaking, after seeing Lu Youying, Qi Ming left here.
Lu You stood there and glanced up at the sky, in the inky sky, the moonlight seemed to be getting colder and colder at this time.
It was a moment before he turned back and entered the gate. As soon as I entered, the door slammed shut.
Inside the door, the shadow wall verandah, the mountains and rocks and flowing water, everything is the appearance of a decent rich and noble family.
Lu You bypassed the shadow wall, walked through the flowery courtyard, and walked towards the side hall in the front yard. The lantern in his hand was gone, but there was a small jade lantern pendant on his waist.
In the side hall, Lin Changying, dressed in black, was sitting in a chair, closing her eyes and resting.
Hearing the footsteps that Lu You deliberately made, Lin Changying opened his eyes and looked at the door.
Seeing Lu You coming in, when he was hesitating to ask, Lu You had already spoken first: "It's Elder Qi of the Sanhe Gate." ”
When Lin Changying heard this, her brows frowned slightly, and she looked at Lu You, who was always smiling and her eyes were open and clear, and after thinking for a while, she said, "You don't have to tell me." ”
Lu You replied: "There is nothing to say about this. As he spoke, he sat down opposite Lin Changying, took out a book casually, and flipped through it by the candle next to him.
Lin Changying looked at him, a look of hesitation flashed on his face.
Lu You noticed something was wrong, looked up at her, and asked, "Miss Lin, what do you have to say?"
Lin Changying hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Does Lu Gongzi have a fellow disciple named Xu Yi?"
When Lu You heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Does the girl know Xu Yi?"
Lin Changying didn't answer, but said, "In this way, this Xu Yi is indeed a disciple of your Great Ming Sword Sect." ”
Lu You nodded: "Indeed." When the words fell, he suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Lin hasn't answered my question yet." ”
Lin Changying raised his eyes and glanced at him, and then said hesitantly: "I don't know him, I've just heard of him." ”
Lu You looked at her for a while, then put down the book in his hand and asked seriously, "The girl suddenly mentioned Xu Yi, is it because he has something to do with Yuan Zhen?"
Lin Changying couldn't help but be surprised, she just mentioned it, and this Lu You immediately linked this Xu Yi and Yuan Zhen together, which is really smart!
However, since she decided to mention Xu Yi as a person, there is no need to continue to cover it up. Moreover, letting this person know that Xu Yi may be the real murderer is not necessarily a bad thing for her and Shen Muzhi.
She also knows Lu You's identity.
If he was willing to help them, then Elder Yuan's side would not be a problem.
Thinking about it, Lin Changying nodded, and asked again: "Do you know any contradictions or discords between Xu Yi and Yuan Zhen?"
"I don't know. Lu You looked at her: "Yuan Zhen wasn't killed by you?"
"Of course not!" Lin Changying replied immediately, and his voice couldn't help but be a little raised.
Lu You looked at her, and a smile passed quietly under his eyes, leaving no trace.
"Do you want to say that Yuan Zhen was killed by Xu Yi?" Lu You asked, "What evidence is there?"
"Yes, but the evidence is not with me, but in Lin Xuan's hands. It's better for you to let him out and let him tell you in person!" Lin Changying stared at him with a little expectation.
Lu You couldn't help but smile and said, "I can personally enter the formation to ask him." ”
When Lin Changying heard this, he suddenly lost the mood to speak, closed his eyes coyly, and no longer paid attention to Lu You.
Lu You looked at her, shook his head and smiled, then took the book on the side and continued to flip through it.
Time passes slowly.
Before you know it, the sky outside is beginning to turn white.
Yuan Changqing has not yet appeared.
Lin Changying stood at the door of the side hall, looked up at the gray-white sky, and said, "It's dawn, you can release people." ”
"Half an hour to go. Lu You sat in the chair and said without raising his head.
Lin Changying was a little annoyed, but she was helpless. Nowadays people are swordsmen, they are fish and meat. It's already very good that Lu You can treat her so well. For now, we can only wait. But half an hour, the night has passed, what about another half an hour?
Outside Osan City, at this time, a sword light suddenly fell into a forest outside the city.
In a short time, two people came out of the woods.
Exactly, Yu Xin and Xu Yiduo.
"Aren't we going to Yin Yang Tian, why do you want to come to Wushan City?" Xu Yi asked with a frown, looking at the city gate not far away.
Yu Xin glanced at him and said, "You are so anxious to go to Yin Yang Tian?"
Xu Yi couldn't help choking.
The two quickly entered the city, and Yu Xin took Xu Yi to the inn where Lin Changying lived, but after not finding Lin Changying, his heart sank.
Then, Yu Xin and Xu Yi went to another inn, opened a room for Xu Yi, and let him live in.
"If you dare to escape, you know what the consequences will be!" Yu Xin stood at the door and looked at Xu Yi who entered the door, and said calmly.
Xu Yi, who was facing away from him, paused slightly, and then did not make a sound, and continued to walk inside silently.
Yu Xin glanced at him again, then turned around and left.
At the gate of Yin and Yang Tian, Qi Ming was waiting in person.
I just saw Yu Xin appear, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Didn't you find anyone?" Qi Ming couldn't help but ask.
Yu Xin looked at him and said lightly: "Everyone is not stupid, I just came to inform you, take the two of them to the Quanyou Inn, and wait for you there in a while." ”
"Two of you?" Qi Ming pretended to be puzzled: "What two of them? Didn't you already take it with you, Miss Lin?" Why did you ask me for someone again?"
Yu Xin snorted coldly: "You don't have to pretend. In short, two people for one, or you just wait for my peak master to visit Tianshan directly!"
Qi Ming frowned, and after thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, see you at the Quanyou Inn." ”
"One stick of incense time, please don't be late for Elder Qi!" After Yu Xin finished speaking, he didn't give Qi Ming a chance to discuss, and left there with a flick of his sleeves.
Qi Ming's expression was a little solemn.
This made it a little difficult for Yu Xin to act so cautiously.
He must get this Xu Yi, otherwise, once he falls into the hands of the Great Ming Sword Sect, then this matter will be really bad!
