Chapter 81: Whipping the Bridge Formation
Xuzhou, Donghai County.
At the end of the main street in the east of the city, it is supposed to be a prosperous scene of shops, but it surprisingly ends at a lake. The lake is crisscrossed, there are dozens of horizontal wooden bridges intricately erection, the bridge is paved with old bamboo, it does not rot for many years, and the width is less than two zhang.
A person holding a fan and standing near the bridge stopped, the red plum on his body was like splashing ink, and a white dress fluttered and flew in the cold wind by the lake.
At the other end of the bridge is a small island in the middle of the lake. The fence on the island is multiplying, and from a distance it looks like a village house, with small fenced courtyards connecting with each other, and thatched stone houses are far and near.
Along the lake for a week, the sprinkled shops are like stars around the moon, the noise is like boiling, the cloth sails of all kinds of tea shops and restaurants are visible when you raise your eyes, and the jagged forests are like stars.
"Childe, Qing'e She has never dared to snub me like this in the past, but what's wrong?" Yingli stood on the left side of Mei Shuying, twisted her eyebrows and asked.
The slender five fingers holding the jade fan tightened, and the snow-colored tassels swayed in the wind: "It's not appropriate." ”
After saying two words, the white-clothed man waved in the wind, and Mei Shuying had already jumped up.
The long figure stepped towards the lake, did not step on the wooden bridge, stepped on the white shadow of the lake water and flew in the air, and in an instant stood on a shore rock on the island in the middle of the lake.
Shuangli followed closely and was about to jump up, Mei Shuying turned around and shouted: "There is a formation on the bridge, I'm afraid you won't be able to get through with your light skills, stay over there." ”
Shuangli stopped immediately.
Yingli stepped back from the shore, watched Shi Shiran, the person on the other side of the bridge, walk into the house, and said without a little wave: "It is clear that there is a formation, and then tell us to wait......"
Jiuli couldn't help but smile slightly: "Yingli, have you started to think that Gongzi is talking badly?"
Yingli glanced at the man in black: "I haven't been disgusted." ”
In Qing'e's house, Mei Shuying only stepped into a few steps, and faintly heard the soft weeping one after another, her voice was low, and her sorrow entered her heart, and she was connected into a sad sound, which was a song of bereavement.
Mei Shuying's complexion changed immediately. This cry is heart-wrenching, and it has been extensive, and the dead are not just swordsmen?
As he was thinking, the footsteps between the surrounding village houses and households, and the cold arrows of the bows and arrows hidden in the dark at the four corners of the fence courtyard had faintly reflected the cold light towards him.
"Why did the prince come here?"
A female voice came from the large house in front of the left hand, very quiet, very soft, but with an irrepressible cold anger and gloom.
Mei Shuying stopped moving, raised her head with a fan in her hand and said, "This prince originally came to see Elder Fu...... the man in white paused, and continued: "I'm afraid it's too late now." ”
“…… You!" The female voice heard the leisurely insight in the tone of the man in white, and inevitably became angry: "Mei Shuying, are you here to ridicule my Qing'e!"
Mei Shuying shook her head helplessly, her expression was calm: "Why should Elder Chen be angry, the person who doesn't want Elder Fu to have an accident right now is this son." After saying that, Mei Shuying said with a leisurely expression: "Here is a detailed situation, and I hope that Elder Chen will not hesitate to tell you." If there is anyone in the Amazing Cloud Pavilion who can help, he will not refuse. ”
"No need!" the female voice was extremely solemn, "Xiao Fu's death, just wait for the message from Guiyungu to come over, and I can conclude the suspect." I, Chen Meng, still swear here that I will never let this person go!"
Return to Cloud Valley?
Mei Shuying's eyebrows furrowed: "How did Elder Fu get killed, and what does this matter have to do with Guiyun Valley?"
The woman's tone was a little ethereal, and she turned to sting: "Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that you have always been at odds with Duanmu Sect Master, why is your tone here like you are maintaining Guiyun Valley?"
Mei Shuying's originally cold expression condensed for a moment, and said coldly: "This son is talking about things, and he is talking about Guiyun Valley, when did she mention that she is a Duanmu Immortal?"
"The second disciple of the main sect of Duanmu Valley is named Lan Suwan, who is eighteen years old this year, and is the orphan of Elder Lan and Elder Su of the Amazing Cloud Pavilion, and most of the masters know about this matter...... I'll just speak up for her. The woman's voice was deep: "It's just that only you know why." ”
"Did Elder Chen take the wrong medicine?" Mei Shuying turned the folding fan in her hand, and said coldly: "If you are delirious, you will go out to meet guests?"
There was a cracking sound of porcelain cups in the house, and a slow footstep sounded immediately: "Mei Shuying, many years ago, you broke into my mirror heart and couldn't come out, I told you, you think you are smart, but in fact, you can't be stupid." The footsteps were very close, and a round and jade hand pushed open the wooden door of the house with a bang, and walked out with a cold face: "If it weren't for your good friendship with the house owner, he told me to wait for you to believe in Jingyun Pavilion, do you think I would let you go well today?"
The woman's face is graceful, luxurious and elegant, but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are full of deep depression and sadness: "You have explored Xiao Fu Su's illness many times, and you did not hesitate to make her have a splitting headache, just to interrogate Xiao Fu who disappeared for ......more than a month five years ago" The woman stood at the door of the house, slapped her palm on the wooden door with her side, and the slightly open wooden door slammed inward, and the white gauze curtain in the house was deeply flicked: "Now that Xiao Fu is dead, I don't know what else Gongzi Jingyun wants to ask!"
Behind the heavy curtain, a man in a silk robe could be seen lying on the couch, and on both sides of the couch kneeling in a purple silk and emerald skirt, carrying a bow and arrow, her face full of grief and indignation, and her tears were wet with long tears.
Mei Shuying's face sank a little, and she slowly walked into the house.
Fu Yihui lay on the couch with her eyes closed, her face was snow-white, and Mei Shuying reached out to the side of her neck.
The Si people are gone.
The jade fan in his hand tightened unconsciously, and the face of the man in white was rarely solemn. “…… Elder Fu didn't seem to be in pain when he left. ”
A woman who knelt straight on the ground suddenly cried out with hatred: "Zi'er must kill that person to avenge the old man......"
Mei Shuying frowned: "Only one person killed Elder Fu?"
The woman on the ground cried: "He dared to pretend to be Mr. Duanmu's disciple and poison Shelao Xing's needle in front of our Gong'e sisters...... Lie to me, wait until you pull out the silver needle and you will wake up...... But she actually ......" Speaking of this, the woman's face was extremely cold: "Ward Supervisor Mingjian! I must kill this son to avenge the old man, so as to comfort her old man's spirit in the sky!"
Mei Shuying's face turned slightly pale, and she wrinkled her eyebrows and asked: "Duanmu Xiaoxian has only four disciples in total, and my son has seen them all, who is that person pretending to be?"
Chen Meng was still standing behind Mei Shuying, and said coldly: "The fourth disciple of the Duanmu Valley Lord, the son of Yunxiao." ”
The woman kneeling on the ground bowed her head deeply: "Zi'er never thought that the shadow network would act in the name of Guiyungu, it had never been before, and Zi'er didn't dare to think about it, he claimed to be a disciple of Mr. Duanmu, surnamed Yun Xiao, I heard it two years ago, but there should be no fake ......"
The more the woman spoke, the colder Chen Menghuan's face became.
"It's Zi'er's stupidity! When he and the white wolf appeared at the right time to stop us from chasing and killing the man in black, we could see that there must be a connection with the attacking killer, and it must be the back hand sent by the shadow network, but we didn't recognize it...... I mistakenly believed this person several times, and finally killed Shelao!"
Chen Meng's face was still cold: "Just by his action to stop and let go of the man in black, he can be put to death......" She lowered her head and said in a cognizing voice: "You still believe his words!"
Mei Shuying frowned a few times and said, "Based on what I know so far, it doesn't necessarily mean that this person is not Yun Xiao." A few people may wish to talk to Shuying about the appearance of this person. ”
The man on the ground said: "That man is no more than a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, dressed in green clothes, and holding a sword in his hand. The face was clear and calm, and ...... woman thought of something, and then said: "Her eyes are extremely beautiful...... White as clear snow, black as ink night, bright as the moon...... Unforgettable at first sight. ”
Mei Shuying knocked the folding fan in her hand lightly twice: "The girl said that this is indeed the son of Yun Xiao." ”
The woman on the ground was shocked.
Chen Meng also looked at Mei Shuying coldly: "It's the same appearance, how do you know it's not a disguise?"
Mei Shuying turned around and said: "This son only relied on her description of Yun Xiao's eyes, and felt that it was difficult to have a second person in the world, so he made a preliminary decision. The red plum on the cuffs of the man in white appeared and disappeared with the movements of his wrist, a little cold and glamorous: "As for whether it is Yun Xiao Gongzi or not, Shuying does not dare to judge." He thought for a while, and then said, "But Young Master Yun Xiao has already inherited the frost sword of Duanmu Immortal...... I wonder how many people can see the sword in his hand?"
Zi'er bowed his head and said, "He does have an ancient sword in his hand, which is very good, and he takes it very seriously...... But the old man is used to using whips, and we are all accustomed to bows and arrows, so we can't tell if that sword is the one that Gongzi Jingyun said. ”
When Mei Shuying heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said, "If you guess that he is not the fourth disciple of Duanmu Immortal Yun Xiao...... appeared to help the black-clothed killer of the shadow network, and caused the killing of Elder Fu by needles, this son should really be punished. Hongmei was cold, Mei Shuying looked at Chen Menghuan: "It's just that this person is Yun Xiao...... According to this son, it is not conclusive to this point...... I wonder what Elder Chen is going to do?"
The originally wise and quiet woman between her eyebrows revealed an irrepressible killing intent on her face, and she said coldly: "I have passed the book to the Duanmu Valley Lord, asking him if he can send Yun Xiao Gongzi to Xuzhou to act, if there is no such thing at all, this person naturally cannot be the disciple of the Duanmu Valley Lord." Her face was even colder, and she said, "At that time...... This son is digging three feet into the ground, and I will dig him out too!
Mei Shuying frowned, always feeling inappropriate, "Dare to ask where the master of Lou is here?"
Chen Meng also turned back coldly: "The owner of the house has not returned from the audit in Jizhou, before he comes back, I will give him an explanation for the death of the little master!"
On the lake outside the island, Yingli Jiuli saw the person in white come out and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Childe, what is the situation in Qing'e's house, has Childe seen Elder Fu to inquire about clues?"
The man in white stepped on the shore with an expressionless face, "Elder Fu is dead, and only three of the six people are left to verify and investigate, you two will go with me to the public loser." ”
Yingli led the horse over and immediately said, "Childe is going to see Gongyiming?"
The man in white turned over and got on his horse without looking back: "Not bad." In addition, he instructed Yu Wei to check whether Yun Xiao was still in Qingfeng Village after Xiao Suwan left. ”
Yun Xiao Jiuli was stunned, then came back to his senses, and immediately responded: "Yes! ”
Yingli rode to the side, hesitated several times, and asked, "Can I send a message to ...... about this matter?"
"The matter here is sent to Duan ......" Mei Shuying's words stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, and she was stunned for a few seconds before she came back to her senses, and there was silence for a moment.
Then he turned his head to look at Yingli, and said lukewarmly: "...... Send a message to let Xiao Suwan know. ”
Yingli was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and responded solemnly: "Yes!"
