Late that night, Yin Qixiu and Lu Yuansi finally fled back to Chang'an City and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion. They have been shrouded in the shadow of chasing and killing, and even experienced a vicious battle under the city of Chang'an, not to mention the injuries on both of them, and the guards around them were broken in half, and the two escaped back with their lives, exhausted and exhausted.

Yin Qixiu directly took Lu Yuansi into the Yin Mansion, and his two elder brothers knew that they would wait in the Qianyuan that night. When the three brothers got together and saw them so embarrassed, the complicated feelings in their hearts were self-evident.

After asking about the general situation, the two brothers focused on the person Yin Qixiu was supporting, Yin Chengyuan and Yin Shaochu saw that Yin Qixiu was caring for the other person despite his own injuries, so they looked at each other and smiled, Yin Chengyuan asked, "Third brother, this must be the legendary Yuanxin girl, right?"

Lu Yuansi endured the pain, pretended to be shy, lowered his head, broke away from Yin Qixiu's hand, and saluted them: "The little woman has seen two adults......

Although Yin Qixiu was also a little embarrassed, but after experiencing life and death along the way, he had made up his mind to bring Lu Yuansi home to give her the official title as soon as he returned to Chang'an, so he didn't wait for her to finish the ceremony, he pulled her hand and shook it in his hand again, and introduced to her in front of the two elder brothers: "This is the eldest brother, this is the second brother." When you are well recuperated, I will take you to see the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law......"

Lu Yuansi still felt awkward, kept burying his head and twisting with him, and timidly called with him: "Big brother, second brother ......"

The two elder brothers readily agreed, amused by their embarrassment. The two brothers have also heard that their third brother's sweetheart was born in Qinglou, Yin Chengyuan is the son of the Yin family, and he is more general, and like their father Yin Jiheng, he pays special attention to façade etiquette, although he is happy for his younger brother, he still has some mind in his heart.

And Yin Shaochu was different, he didn't want Lu Yuansi to feel uncomfortable in front of them, but relieved her heart, and praised: "Investigate the case, not afraid of life and death, women don't let the eyebrows, the Yuanxin girl is very capable, she is really a heroine among women, and she is very compatible with my jealous and hateful third brother!"

Lu Yuansi blushed, and Yin Qixiu waved her arm proudly, "You see that the second brother said that we were a natural pair, what are you embarrassed about? Why don't you go and meet my father with me and get married early?"

Hearing him say this, Yin Chengyuan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly coughed and said, "Third brother, let's let Miss Yuanxin go to heal and rest first, you have suffered enough along the way, let's talk about it after resting." ”

Yin Shaochu slapped his eldest brother with his elbow and smiled at them: "Qi Xiu, my father is not in good health, and it is too late now, we don't dare to disturb him to report that you are going home, let's wait until tomorrow morning to see you." ”

He understood what the two brothers meant, and held Lu Yuansi's hand tighter, "Okay then." He pulled Yuan Xin and walked towards the house where he lived.

Later, Yin Shaochu glared at Yin Chengyuan with disgust, looked at their backs and said, "I think it's good." ”

Yin Chengyuan had mixed feelings in his heart, sighed, and shook his head helplessly.

Walking into the inner courtyard, before the two of them entered the house, Ma Bo, the former garden manager of the Yin Mansion, stopped Yin Qixiu: "Third son, my lord is waiting for you to meet in the past." ”

Yin Qixiu looked at Lu Yuansi, and was about to say that he wanted her to go with her, Lu Yuansi didn't want to meet Yin Jiheng, she remembered that she had seen Yin Jiheng a few times at the banquet in Lu Mansion before, and she was afraid that he would recognize her when she met this time, so she pretended to be injured and in pain, and said: "Qi Xiu, you go and tell the Prime Minister what we found in Luoyang, this is the most important thing...... I'll heal and freshen up first, and then rest first......"

Yin Qixiu nodded: "It's okay...... You wait for me......"

He arranged for his subordinates to take care of Lu Yuansi, and went to the main house with the steward.

On the way, he was talking to Ma Bo, remembered something, and asked, "Ma Bo, why is your old man serving at night tonight, why don't you see Xiao in charge?"

Ma Bo looked puzzled and replied: "Yes, Gongzi doesn't know, I don't know what happened today, we haven't seen Steward Xiao since the evening, and we can't find ...... everywhere."

Yin Qixiu understood that Steward Xiao was not a pure person like Ma Bo, he had many preferences, and some of the people in Yin Mansion who were outside also knew a little bit about it, so he didn't think deeply, and said: "Xu is really in trouble, when he comes back tomorrow, Ma Bo, you ask him, after all, he is the one who serves by his father's side, so be careful." ”

"Yes, yes. Ma Bo replied respectfully.

While speaking, he arrived outside the door of the main house, Yin Qixiu went in directly, and Ma Bo called to leave the people, leaving only the Yin family father and son alone.

Seeing Yin Jiheng lying on the couch, his appearance was different from what he had seen before he left, Yin Qixiu's heart ached, and he knelt down in front of his father's couch, "Father...... Qi Xiu is back......"

Yin Jiheng stretched out his hand, he hurriedly caught it, and sat on the edge of the bed, "Father, what's the matter?

Yin Jiheng's dry and hoarse voice was lightly filled with the smell of medicine, looking at Yin Qixiu, a smile appeared on his haggard face, and seeing that he was injured and embarrassed, he was naturally distressed, and said: "It's okay to be a father, it's just a little tired, just rest." But you, who have been running around for a long time, have suffered a lot of crimes, right? Why did you get injured like this? How did those guards protect you?"

At this level, people are much gentler, and his concern for his young son is beyond words, which makes Yin Qi Xiu's heart worry.

"Dad doesn't have to worry about me, these are minor injuries that will heal soon. I have been hunted down all the way, and I am very grateful to God for being able to save my life and come back to see my father. Father, it can already be determined now, it is the Heluo Sword Sect that is helping the Gu family, the Gu family knew that we were investigating them, so they immediately sent Luoyang's swordsmen to assassinate us, all the way to kill us, it can be seen that our direction is right, those so-called Immortal Sect disciples or something, must be pretended by the people of the Heluo Sword Sect! Father, all this is really not the revenge of the Immortal Sect, but the terrible conspiracy of the Gu family!" Yin Qixiu said angrily.

These were in line with Yin Jiheng's conjectures, so he was not surprised, but he was a little puzzled: "But the death of the county lord ...... They used the death of the county lord to make a game, sacrificing such a good family affair, is it too costly?"

On the way back, they heard about the death of the county lord, and also knew that the county lord's funeral appeared in the matter of the immortal sect totem, Yin Qixiu was very calm, his thinking was very clear, he analyzed: "The county lord was poisoned not necessarily within the Gu family's plan, but they just took advantage of this opportunity to create a greater panic." Besides, father, do you think it is completely impossible for them to kill the county lord? They have so many lives on their hands, and they still care about this one? The death of the county lord is extraordinary, but they have succeeded in making the emperor panic! Their purpose is probably to make the emperor pay attention to the Immortal Religion, let the imperial court investigate deeply, and then put forward the case of the Immortal Sect back then, and finally ...... it."

Hearing what he was most afraid of, Yin Jiheng trembled and pressed Yin Qixiu's hand. Yin Qixiu felt his father's abnormality and eased up, and he also understood in his heart what Yin Jiheng was afraid of......

The Gu family asked the imperial court to investigate the Immortal Sect in depth, just to expose Yin Jiheng's crimes back then and bring down the Yin family.

However, after all, the events of the year have become a fact, and they all know in their hearts what is right and wrong, even if Yin Qixiu investigates so deeply, he will definitely move out of those things that the Gu family wants to expose, and it is still unfavorable to the Yin family.

To a certain extent, it can be said that Yin Qixiu is in a dilemma, because of Yin Jiheng, he can't be frank and stand on the side of the so-called justice......

The father and son each understood each other's feelings, Yin Jiheng thought for a while, raised his head, looked at the yarn lamp above with weak eyes, and sighed: "Qi Xiu, my father knows that you are embarrassed, but you have to understand that the Yin family's status today is achieved by how much hard work it has taken from generation to generation, and it can't be ...... Ruined...... Qi Xiu, you must know that no matter what your father does, whether it is right or wrong, it is for the Yin family...... Back then, I was helpless to do those things for my father! It wasn't because the emperor was ruthless...... If his father did not clear the Immortal Sect for the first emperor, then the Yin family would be gone! What a famous family of the fourth world and three dukes, and a frank gentleman with thousands of years of achievements! He still had blood on his hands! He still did the most shameful thing! For so many years, how could he be ashamed of his father's heart? Since I decided to do that, I knew that I, Yin Jiheng, would not be able to live in peace for the rest of my life, but what can I do? Qi Xiu, you say, what can I do for my father? This majestic Chang'an City does not leave a way for innocent people to live!"

Under the light of one side, it is the father and son who have broken their hearts and intestines, Yin Qixiu listened to his father's heartfelt words, and his heart was as uncomfortable as a thousand cuts. Yin Jiheng grabbed Yin Qixiu's arm, looked at his eyes, and said solemnly: "So, Qi Xiu, you have to know the proportions! The Yin family can't be ruined! You can't let the surname Gu succeed!"

Yin Qixiu gritted his teeth, nodded, and promised heavily: "I understand, father." ”

Yin Jiheng coughed uncomfortably, and after relieving himself, he asked him again, "Can you find substantial evidence related to the Gu family's Immortal Sect?"

This question made Yin Qixiu a little difficult to answer, indeed, until now, although they could be sure, they did not have anything that could really be called evidence in their hands, from the beginning, he suspected the Gu family because of Lu Yuansi's inference. They knew about the Gu family's connection to the Heluo Sword Sect, but how could they prove to the outside world that those Immortal Sect disciples were the killers of the Heluo Sword Sect pretending to be?

This is the question that Yin Jiheng is most concerned about, if it can be proven, then they can only point out that the Gu family and the Heluo Sword Sect pretended to be a cult to disturb people's hearts and kill innocents, this crime is enough to put the Gu family to death, then the imperial court will not turn over the case of the Immortal Sect for many years. As long as they expose the Gu family's crimes first, then the Gu family will have no chance to find out something unfavorable to the Yin family......

This is also the question that Yin Qixiu and Lu Yuansi have been thinking about on the way back, they thought about catching the killers who assassinated them as witnesses, but at that time, the power was weak, and they couldn't take care of just escaping and saving their lives, they thought, only by returning to Chang'an and using themselves to lead those killers to assassinate, they have the ability to take the witnesses, or find the hiding place of those killers in Chang'an, and catch them all, why worry about no evidence at that time?

However, he couldn't tell Yin Jiheng about their plan now, otherwise Yin Jiheng would definitely not agree to him using himself as bait.

He replied: "It's already there, when we investigated Liu Yingsu's case before, we had witnesses to prove that Liu Yingsu was killed by the Gu family, and this murder case was covered up by the Immortal Sect, plus we verified the connection between the Heluo Sword Sect and the Gu family in Luoyang this time, we have enough human and physical evidence to prove our speculation, and now as long as we find out the hiding place of the killer of the Heluo Sword Sect in Chang'an, we can completely expose the Gu family's crimes!"

Yin Jiheng believed in Yin Qixiu's ability, and knew that he would not risk making unfounded inferences, so he believed it, "Well, that's good." But...... You say, you guys, you mean you and that girl with a heart, right?"

"Father......" Yin Qixiu hesitated, and as soon as his heart was crossed, he simply admitted: "Yes, she has always been with me, father, I know you mind her origin, but ......"

Yin Jiheng was unusually calm, "Do you know her origin, do you know the origin of this girl?"

Yin Qixiu replied: "I know, father, in fact, she is a woman from an innocent background, and she is also a young lady from the official gentry's family, but her family was framed by the Gu family and destroyed all the doors, so she will fall into the Qinglou, and now she also hates the Gu family as much as we do, and she is bent on finding out the evidence of the Gu family's crimes......"

"Framed by the Gu family?" Yin Jiheng snorted, "She didn't tell a lie. ”

"Father, how do you know ......"

Yin Jiheng didn't answer, but asked him, "Didn't you ask her which family she was from?"

Yin Qixiu was a little distracted, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, and shook his head and said: "No, she said that when she finished dealing with the Gu family, she would tell me everything, I believed her, so I didn't ask." ”

Yin Jiheng hugged the quilt, raised his head and sneered more and more: "After dealing with the Gu family, I'm afraid that when the time comes, she will turn to deal with our Yin family!

Yin Qixiu was shocked: "Father, what do you mean? Do you already know her true identity?"

Yin Jiheng looked at him and said firmly: "How can I not pay attention to a woman who can make my son obsessed with her to such an extent? My father has already sent someone to check her, do you know what I found? Hmph, this woman is not small, the daughter of the former Xiangguo, the sister of the former queen......

She ...... She was...... Lu family?" Yin Qixiu said in a daze, in this instant, everything was turned upside down, and he was like falling into the abyss.

"Yes, she is Lu Yuansi, the second lady of the Lu family, the only survivor of the Lu family! When Lu Yuanzhi wanted to marry us, he just wanted to marry her! You say, can she not hate the Gu family? Can she not hate the Yin family? She approached you just to use you to deal with the Gu family! Understood?"

"Lu Yuansi ......" Yin Qixiu lowered his head, his hand clenched into a fist hard, and his fingertips were almost embedded in the flesh, and his heart was already pierced by Yin Jiheng's words, like waking up from a dream.

At this moment, outside the window of the back wall of the main house, a person was also frightened, she was sticking to the window, eavesdropping on the conversation between the Yin family's father and son, and vaguely heard the name that belonged to her in Yin Qixiu's low voice......

Is this the end?

Inside the house, Yin Jiheng then said to Yin Qixiu: "This woman can't stay, but not now, since she can use us, then we can also use her." Qi Xiu, you just continue to investigate the case with her, don't let her find out that you have learned her identity, what she hates most now is the Gu family, she is dedicated to dealing with the Gu family, judging from the current situation, she is still of great help to us, first solve the Gu family's affairs, and then solve her ......"

Yin Qixiu sat down on the ground: "But...... Father, I don't want her to die......"

His depressed and weak appearance at this time stimulated Yin Jiheng's bottom line, Yin Jiheng was no longer patient, he became angry, and when he was excited, he picked up the medicine bowl next to the couch and threw it at him, but it didn't hit, but it scared everyone inside and outside the house.

Yin Qixiu hurriedly knelt down and bowed down: "Father......"

"Rebel!" Yin Jiheng could not control the anger in his heart, and reprimanded: "It's just a woman, is it worth your reluctance? Have you ever thought about what kind of calamity our Yin family will suffer if someone with a heart discovers her identity and uses this to deal with the Yin family? You still have such a close relationship with her! In the eyes of the enemy, it is a fugitive who is secretly hiding and colluding with sinners! How many people will say that our Yin family is colluding with the rebellious Lu family! When the whole clan is destroyed! Do you want the Yin family to become the second Lu family? In the end, the personal feelings of the children are important, or is the Yin family important? ”

Looking up again, Yin Qixiu's eyes were blood-red, he looked up at his angry father, and said in a deep voice: "I understand......"

Yin Jiheng coughed violently, his heart burned so much that he was in pain, but he was not angry, just because of Yin Qixiu's promise, he knew that his son still knew the severity.

Yin Qixiu stepped forward to pat him on the back, poured water for him to drink, and listened to him: "Qi Xiu, about that woman, even your two brothers don't know, it's so secret, do you know your father's carefulness? Not to mention the seriousness of this implication, it is really wronged, therefore, we must put an end to the slightest possibility, and we must not leave a disaster." ”

Yin Qixiu's eyebrows were furrowed, and he nodded heavily: "Father, rest assured, Qi Xiu will live up to the Yin family." ”

Under the moonlight, she endured the pain all over her body, sat in the cold corner of the wall for a long time, and then carefully left, quietly returning to the place where he had placed her, and not being discovered.

For so long, she has learned to hide, to be silent and forbearing, and to grit her teeth and persevere......

I just haven't learned to give up and admit defeat......

Soon after, Yin Qixiu came back, he entered the house, there was no light in the house, he thought she had already fallen asleep, so he lay down silently beside her and hugged her from behind.

She turned and shrunk into his arms and hugged him as well.

Cuddle each other tightly, as if it is possible to lose each other at every moment.

That night, she woke up crying in her dream, and then fell asleep crying in his arms.

In her dream, she said, "Don't forsake me...... Don't leave me alone ......"

"Brother...... Sister...... Father...... You wait for me......"
