Li Qing and White Lotus walked two streets, although Lai Qingzhu gave the knife, but did not say where to find the sharpener, the two of them deliberately paid attention along the way, and did not find anyone following. Seeing that it was almost noon, I found a small shop and asked for some food at random, but neither of them had much appetite. None of the things encountered this morning were not strange, the second son of the Yangwei Martial Arts Hall did not have an accident in the morning, and he did not have an accident in the evening, but he went crazy when he came. It was not a day or two after the fall of Chuyi, Wei Duxing endured it for a long time, but today he couldn't bear to hurt Helian Jue. With Lai Qingzhu's identity and fame, there was no one around to monitor him, although there were students from the academy involved, but Hu Yanwu was so relieved? There were only Lai Qingzhu and a maid in the courtyard, and when he heard his intention, Lai Qingzhu didn't say a word useful. I saw Lai Qingzhu by myself, but the wife was too peaceful on the way, and there was not even a single person who was watching, just like Chu Yi did not fall into the hands of those barbarians.

Originally, Li Qing didn't think too much, but now Li Qing is sitting in the store, taking advantage of the little time to eat, calm down and think about all this, it seems that something is wrong everywhere.

"Little Wuzi, why did you come so early today? It just so happens that the knife in the back kitchen is a little difficult to use, hurry up, come in and sharpen it." A guy brought two bowls of noodles to Li Qing and White Lotus, and happened to see the young man passing by with a burden outside, so he hurriedly rushed to the door of the store in three or two steps and greeted him loudly.

"Noble son, wait a while, Zhang Yuanwai's family in Nancheng will hold a birthday banquet today, and I will go to sharpen the knife from time to time, I estimate that I will return in half an hour, and then I will take care of Master Cai. The young man was in a hurry, and when he heard the greeting of the guy, he still stopped and responded, listening to the two of them, and he thought that he was also a regular customer.

"Don't mind, it's time to eat, I'm waiting to use it, Zhang Yuanwai's house is not far from here, our shop is small, and there are only three or five knives, so I can't miss your business." The man didn't care about the boy's eagerness, stepped forward and took the burden from the boy's shoulder, put it on his shoulder, turned around and entered the store.

The young man was stunned, shook his head helplessly, and had to follow in.

"Brother, sharpen the knife. As soon as the White Lotus picked up, she heard the guy talking to the young man, and hurriedly reminded Li Qing.

Li Qing also heard the two of them talking, and his heart was not as good as the coincidence, and he was worried about where to find a knife sharpener, so the young man sent it to the door by himself, since he met it, he quickly sharpened it, and he estimated that when he finished eating noodles, the knife would be sharpened, and then he hurriedly sent it to Lai Qingzhu, that is, he handed over the errand, and did not delay himself to do other things.

got up and followed into the back kitchen, the young man was already sharpening his knife there, looking at the movements were really skillful, not like a novice, Li Qing put his mind at ease, explained his intention, put the knife next to the young man, and went back to eat noodles by himself.

As soon as he ate half of the noodles, the young man had already come out, walked to Li Qing's side and handed over the knife. Li Qing looked at it, the edge of the blade was still a little blunt, and he looked at the young man in confusion.

"This knife is not the guest officer's, right?" The young man looked at Li Qing's expression and hurriedly explained, "The material used in this knife is too good, it can't be sharpened here, if the guest officer is in a hurry, let your son take you to the shop, and my master will take care of it for you personally and ensure that you are satisfied." If you're not in a hurry, I'll take you there when I come back. The boy laughed with him and had a very good attitude.

"Yes, Wuzi, you go and get busy with you, there is no one in the store at this time, and Master Zhu's shop is not far away, so I will work hard, and you will still be worried about it." "The guy is quite interesting, just now the young man helped him, and now he didn't wait for Li Qing to answer, and took the initiative to take over the matter.

Zhu Ji's old shop is in the Antler Pavilion, although it is called the Antler Pavilion, but there is no pavilion here, five or six alleys meet here, and the largest market in Xicheng is located nearby, even with this place is also a piece of prosperity.

Following the shopkeeper named Guizi through the streets and alleys, when Li Qing and White Lotus could barely distinguish between the southeast and northwest, a slip of pavement appeared in front of them, and they were unevenly distributed along several alleys. This place is different from other places, although there are many shops, there are no store signs, at a glance, there are all people coming in and out, men, women and children, tall, short, fat and thin, everyone has it, it is okay to say it is lively, it is also chaotic, and it is not until this time that Li Qing understands why the boy and the guy insist on bringing him here.

"Uncle Dashan," the man greeted from afar.

"Guizi, are you bringing business to Uncle Dashan again?" a fat man beckoned to the man as he vigorously hammered a wooden wedge into the axle.

"No, it's Xiao Wuzi's business, isn't he in a hurry to go to Zhang Yuanwai's house, I'll run an errand for him and bring guests over." The man replied with a smile and shouted, made a gesture of invitation with one hand, and let Li Qing and White Lotus into a shop on the street.

Walking into the shop, Li Qing and White Lotus were very surprised, as far as the eye could see, it was all a slaughtered fat pig, and several guys were busy dividing one of them into parts for sale. Seeing the guy enter the shop, a fat man who was cutting meat rubbed his hand on the apron around his waist and came over to greet him. Love Chinese Network

"Guizi, why are you here? There is no meat in the store? How much do you want? Uncle De will pick up a good cut for you. Guizi heard the man's greeting, and took out a porcelain altar from behind him like a trick, "This is not to run errands for Xiao Wuzi, and bring two distinguished guests to find Master Zhu." Uncle De, brothers, my father has hidden the loess burn for three years, today I have a jar while he is not paying attention, you taste it, as soon as possible, later his old man found out, and he will chase after him. The men of all sizes in the butcher shop laughed together, and one of them, a young man of the same age as the man, ran over and took the porcelain altar from the man's hand, and turned to walk into the shop.

"Two, just follow Xiangzi in, I brought it to me, and I saw that it was time for dinner, and I had to go back to support it, so I would go one step first, and I would have to come to the shop often. The man handed the porcelain altar in his hand to the young man, and greeted Li Qing and the White Lotus, but he didn't go in, turned around and walked outside the incense shop.

Li Qing didn't expect that sharpening a knife would be so tortuous, but when they all arrived here, they had to follow in. Passing through the shop, there is a courtyard at the back, the reason why it is called the courtyard is because there are many houses built along the courtyard wall, and almost every house has people in and out of the busy way, and the young man is very busy along the way, busy greeting all kinds of people.

Li Qing and White Lotus followed the boy into one of the rooms, the two thought they had arrived at the place, and when they walked to the door, they were all dressed as children, thinking that it was always polite to meet for the first time, who would have thought that there was a back door in this room, and the two followed the young man into a courtyard again.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Li Qing and White Lotus were stunned. The whole yard was clean, and there were no people, and there were still some unpicked dates hanging on a tall jujube tree, and a girl was sitting under the tree, playing the piano. The melodious sound of the piano is the "dancing goose" that Li Qing heard at Lai Qingzhu not long ago.

Hearing the girl bounce again, the small trees in the blood-colored world swayed again, and the breeze blew, adding a few new touches of green to the earth. The blood-red eyes came to mind again, and this time listening to the music again, those eyes no longer seemed to resist, the fierce aura also subsided a little, and the blood color in the eyes seemed to fade a little.

At the end of the song, the girl stood up, looking at Li Qing and the others, with a smile on her face.

Li Qing seemed to be still immersed in the music, and after a long time, he woke up and bowed deeply to the girl, "The girl's natural sound, Li Qing has been used a lot." ”

"The elder brother can deliver the token of this door to the son, which shows the importance that the elder brother attaches to the son, this qin song has eight folds, and the shadow bamboo can only play the second one, which can only temporarily suppress the killing intent in the child's chest, which is really not thankful. Seeing Li Qing's solemn salute, the girl didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute.

This kind of natural sound is only the second weight? Li Qing realized the weight of the sheet music in his arms. Dare to be affectionate to Lai Qingzhu to hand over the piano score and the knife to him has another deep meaning, but why didn't he say it clearly? Li Qing's doubts were reborn.

As if seeing Li Qing's doubts, the girl smiled and beckoned the two to sit down, and then opened her mouth to explain, "My brother has the most important promise in his life, and he was entrusted by Master Cheng to take charge of the academy in this border town for twenty years now. Now that the academy is in the hands of Hu Yanwu, the elder brother has to sit in the courtyard because of his promise. Na Hu Yanwu seemed to understand his brother's temper very well, and did not arrange for many people to monitor and supervise, but only sent a woman named Pian Pian to serve him. ”

Hearing the girl say this, Li Qing realized that the girl in white who had been standing behind Lai Qingzhu from beginning to end was actually Hu Yanwu's person. If so, wouldn't he always be in the sight of those thieves?

"Childe doesn't have to worry," the girl smiled slightly and added new tea to the two of them, "Most of the buying and selling shops in the streets and alleys around here are disciples of this sect, and when Guizi brought the two of them, there were indeed a few spies who followed, but when they entered the Antler Pavilion, they had already been led by the disciples to other places. ”

Li Qing looked at the girl in front of her and couldn't help but be impressed. Thinking of the scene when I met the girl for the first time on Wutang Street this morning, in front of Zheng Yu, the girl was like a brutal princess, and in front of Helian Jue, she was like a frightened deer.

"I haven't consulted the girl yet, I don't know if Mr. guided me here, but what do I need to explain to Li Qing to do?" Li Qing listened to the girl's call one brother after another, and was faintly the leading figure among the many disciples near the Antler Pavilion, Lai Qingzhu would not hand over such an important object to himself for no reason, there must be his purpose. With Hongxin's entrustment, he didn't have much time to stay, so he simply asked directly.

"I can't talk about it, now that the mountains are invading the south, my brother and I are in the sight of the thieves, although there are many disciples here, but most of them are just ordinary people, and they are definitely not the opponents of the thieves, since the brother handed over the piano score and tokens to the hands of the son, he must feel that the son is a person who can be trusted, and the shadow bamboo has something to ask the son, but this matter is dangerous, my brother and I will not be reluctant, and the son can make his own decision after hearing it. The girl listened to Li Qing's straightforward speech, and no longer hesitated, and said what she thought in her heart, "The county guards have been in charge of the county guards for many years, and they have governed the army very strictly, and the officers and men in the army are united. Now that Gao Du is the life of all the soldiers, he has no choice but to commit himself to the enemy, and he even handed over his beloved daughter to the thief as a hostage, Yingzhu wants to ask Gongzi to rescue General Gao's beloved daughter, and then take the military talisman from the county office, and transfer the golden eye guard under the seat of Huyanwu, and then the disciples in my door will naturally rescue the county guard soldiers from prison. ”

Li Qing's heart moved, listening to what the girl said, that Gao Dalin was actually a loyal and righteous person, but why did Hong Xin say that he was a treacherous villain who betrayed his master and sought glory? Although he was puzzled in his heart, when he heard the qin music twice today, Li Qing did not believe that the person who could play such a tune would be a cunning person who was good at calculation. If it is really as the girl said, the soldiers under Gao Dalin Ji are rescued, and it may really have an unexpected effect.

Seeing Li Qing nodding without hesitation, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, these days are forbearance and hidden, although the girl is still as usual on the surface, but her heart is anxious, her brother is trapped, and she is not so free, every time she comes to the Antler Pavilion, it is a lot of trouble, if it drags on any longer, the thief will see the clue here, the girl really doesn't know what to do, but today everything has ushered in a turnaround, and the girl only feels that a flame in her chest is blazing again.
