41. (forty-one)

"You've been in a coma for two days, if it weren't for Divine Doctor Xiao pointing to his divine doctor signboard and swearing to the sky that you would be absolutely fine, Young Master Jiang might have to throw him down the mountain." Hu Xiaodie said while helping Su Muxian with her hair.

"It's been so long, how do I feel like I've only had a dream and woke up?"

Hu Xiaodie inserted the last bead hairpin, and pointed at her forehead: "What am I lying to you about, can the bloodshot in Young Master Jiang's eyes still deceive people." ”

In the two days that Su Muxian was in a coma, he almost always stayed by the bedside without leaving half a step, and even three meals a day were brought into the room by Xiao Qinglin doggedly before taking one or two bites, and he didn't listen to the occasional persuasion.

"If you want me to say, there are really few people who can compare to Young Master Jiang's care about you." Hu Xiaodie hugged her to get up, and smiled crookedly, "I rushed back from the field for you to hurry, and I didn't close my eyes for two days and nights, which is really enviable." ”

Su Muxian coughed lightly, turned her face away from her, but a thin layer of red involuntarily flew up on her cheeks.

She is not a fool, she can naturally detect whether Jiang Yuanzhong treats her well or not, but now Hu Xiaodie is saying it in such a ridiculous tone...... No, no, she blushed.

Su Muxian rubbed her face vigorously, tried her best to put on a serious appearance and said to Hu Xiaodie: "Let's go, let's go out, don't make everyone wait for a long time." ”

Hu Xiaodie smiled slightly, did not expose her little trick to change the topic, and helped her to the hall.

Not to mention, the hall is quite full of people. The five of them sat silently around the round table, among which Tang Yuyi and Wang Meng sat shoulder to shoulder, next to Xiao Qinglin, and opposite was Jiang Yuanzhong, who had a depressed face.

Shen Ying sat between the two of them, wanting to get closer to Xiao Qinglin, but as soon as she moved, Xiao Qinglin shrank beside Wang Meng and them, but if she didn't move, she and Jiang Yuanzhong were a little closer. As the saying goes, fire and water are incompatible, and the disagreement between her and Jiang Yuanzhong is natural, and there is no rule of law.

was worried, as soon as she looked up and saw Su Muxian coming out, Shen Ying immediately beckoned enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, come and sit here." ”

"Miss Shen."

Su Muxian nodded lightly at her, and did not brush her face, and walked over to sit down according to her words.

Before he sat down, there was a plain tea bowl in front of him, and when he looked at the slender hand on the bowl, he saw Jiang Yuan's light and breezy face.

He withdrew his hand as if he hadn't done anything, looked at Xiao Qinglin and said indifferently, "Look at her current situation." ”

"What are you anxious about, I told you...... Okay, okay, don't stare at me, I'll see it right away. Xiao Qinglin's originally impatient expression immediately changed after receiving Jiang Yuan's dangerous eyes, and he responded very doggedly, stretching out two fingers to put on Su Muxian's wrist.

He contemplated for a moment, then slowly raised his head under the urging gaze of everyone and said, "The toxicity in Miss Su's body seems to have changed......

Su Muxian: "...... Hey? ”

Xiao Qinglin continued: "According to my estimate, the time of the next poison attack may be advanced. ”

His gaze drifted for a moment, and he looked at Su Muxian's big round eyes, and hesitated: "You have to be mentally prepared." ”

Su Muxian: "...... Okay, you're a miracle doctor. ”

Xiao Qinglin was a little aggrieved: "I just told you the truth, I didn't say that I couldn't cure you." The most important thing is to see if Xiao Jiang can quickly find all the medicinal materials I want to use, the sooner I find them, the more sure I will be. ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Jiang Yuanzhong said, "Someone will deliver the medicinal materials to you in less than two days." ”

Xiao Qinglin nodded.

After talking about Su Muxian, the atmosphere was silent for a moment, Tang Yu couldn't help but be idle, and opened the conversation again.

"I've heard that a lot of things have happened in the rivers and lakes recently?"

He and Hu Xiaodie originally planned to rush to the capital, but they were delayed for a few days because Su Muxian suddenly fainted, but they never relaxed their monitoring of the affairs in the rivers and lakes, and kept paying attention to the movements in the imperial capital, so they found a lot of strange things.

Su Muxian listened curiously and asked, "What happened?" ”

"Recently, some Jianghu sects have been secretly laundering money on a large scale, and have sent many people into the capital." It was Hu Xiaodie who spoke, she frowned slightly, and seemed to be very puzzled by the behavior of these people, "When Zi Jiwu is today, there have always been few people in the rivers and lakes who are messing around in the capital, and soon it will be the New Year's Day, what do they want to do when they enter Beijing at this juncture?" ”

Although she could vaguely guess their intentions, she always felt that these people would not be so bold, but now their behavior was becoming more and more confusing.

She glanced at it, and her afterglow happened to see Jiang Yuanzhong's thoughtful appearance as he rubbed his cup, so she said, "Young Master Jiang is coming from the direction of the capital, but is there any other news?" ”

"More than that." Jiang Yuanzhong listened to what she said, shook his head, and continued with her words, "In addition to what you said, my people also found out that the group of people led by the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance got a huge amount of money out of nowhere, and now they are privately recruiting troops. ”

Hu Xiaodie said: "It's still a little unbelievable......

Wang Meng smiled: "If only they are afraid that they do have the heart of a thief and have no courage to be a thief, but if someone secretly helps, it will be different." If the person helping is related to the royal family, it is very different. ”

"One more point." Jiang Yuanzhong put down the teacup and raised a finger, "At the same time as there is a change in these Jianghu sects, the bloody clothes sect has also begun to retreat. ”

He glanced at Su Muxian and said, "The branch that was kidnapped by the shopkeeper last time was artificially burned down after we left. ”

Su Muxian couldn't help but interject when she heard this: "What about Lu Sheng?" ”

It's not that she always hates the old man who owes Erbaden, anyone who is poisoned for no reason will think about killing him all day long, her mentality is good enough, she only cares about whether he is dead or alive now.

Jiang Yuan paused heavily and said, "It's missing." ”

And there was no trace left, just like that, the world evaporated.

Su Muxian unconsciously curled the ends of his hair and muttered: "The scourge is a thousand years old, who is he preparing to yin?" ”

Tang Yuyi shrugged his shoulders: "Who is yin and who is not necessarily, now the rivers and lakes are not peaceful, maybe it is a dog eating a dog." ”

Just what they know now is that there are three forces, the Jianghu faction led by the leader of the Wulin Alliance, the remnants of the former dynasty of Lu Sheng and others, and the royal family who are cowering in the dark. The purposes of these three parties coincide, and there are even threads of connection in a certain process, and the relationship behind it is carefully studied, but I am afraid that it will also go around the dead.

And that's what they know at the moment, so what about what they don't?

Su Muxian held his cheeks and sighed: "Your rivers and lakes are too chaotic, it is better to be an ordinary innkeeper like me." ”

Jiang Yuan looked at her meaningfully and said, "Ordinary innkeeper? ”

Su Muxian was a little hairy by his eyes, and asked stubbornly, "What are you doing, what are you doing?" Am I not? ”

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "You really said it, you really aren't." ”

Su Muxian: "...... What's that? ”

She doesn't know Wu Er, she doesn't have a mysterious mystery of her life experience, and her life experience can be written in two lines before she meets Jiang Yuanzhong, so she doesn't look like an ordinary person!

"I told you that your adoptive parents are Mr. and Mrs. Situ Li." Jiang Yuanzhong said.

Su Muxian still has an impression of this, she still remembers that she was bumped into by the little maid when she was talking about this matter, thinking that she had ruined the good things of the two of them......

She nodded, and saw that the rest of the people present except Jiang Yuanzhong and Wang Meng showed rather surprised expressions.

"Didn't the two of Situ seniors have already retreated to the mountains and forests?" It was Shen Ying, who had been silently staring at Xiao Qinglin, who spoke, "After they got the treasure map of the previous dynasty, they were chased and intercepted all day long, and they were not disturbed, so they decided to go into hiding." ”

"I heard that the couple passed away after three years of retirement...... Hu Xiaodie also said with some confusion.

"Didn't you go out to sea by boat to find a fairyland?" Tang Yuyi was also at a loss.

For the rest, Xiao Qinglin looked calmer: "I heard my master say that the seniors of Situ went to a small mountain village in a remote place to farm in order to withdraw from the disputes in the rivers and lakes. ”

…… Sounds even more unreliable.

Su Muxian twitched the corners of her mouth, not knowing what kind of expression she should put on.

There is a faint sense of sadness that others know how powerful her adoptive parents are, but she is the only one who doesn't know. Even this kind of power has reached the point that "even if I quit the rivers and lakes, my legend will be circulated".

Jiang Yuanzhong glanced at them lightly, his eyes showed a slight disgust, and he lowered his eyes and said: "The so-called treasure map of the former dynasty is fake, there is no such thing at all, or rather, there was originally one, but the one that has been handed down has become a fake." ”

Su Muxian was puzzled: "The so-called treasure map rumors ......"

"It's also fake, someone deliberately put it out to confuse the public." Jiang Yuanzhong looked at her and said, "I wanted to talk to you last time." ”

It's a pity that he was unintentionally interrupted by the little maid in the middle of his sentence.

He didn't look at everyone's thoughtful faces, and then said: "The real purpose of the person who released this news is to muddy the rivers and lakes on the one hand, and on the other hand, I am afraid that it is to get the map of the capital in the hands of Situ Li and his wife. ”

"The map of the capital?" Su Muxian repeated puzzled.

Everyone stared at him with curious eyes, waiting for him to continue.

"That's right, it's the map of the capital." Jiang Yuan nodded again, "Situ Li and his wife not only have a pivotal position in the rivers and lakes, but also have close contacts with the imperial palace, and it is said that they have a map of the entire capital, including the imperial palace. And according to my inference, there is a good chance that this claim is true. ”

Ordinary maps are not difficult to find, and you can even buy one in the imperial capital for a little money. But a special one includes a detailed map of the palace, and it can be said that it is the only map in the world, which cannot be obtained by spending more money.

And this is precisely the one that has a great effect on some people with bad intentions.

Everyone showed thoughtful expressions, but Su Muxian raised his hand weakly: "...... But I never heard my adoptive parents talk about this. ”

Mr. and Mrs. Li protected her very well, their true identity never mentioned to her, and they tried to avoid her contact with people in the rivers and lakes in their daily lives.

"If you don't know, it doesn't mean that others think you don't know, and even if they know that you don't know, they will think that someone else knows." Jiang Yuanzhong glanced at Wang Meng meaningfully, and the latter showed a pure and honest smile.

Su Muxian: "...... You just said a tongue twister, you know? ”

With a "pop", the door of the head was flicked.

Su Muxian covered her forehead and looked at Jiang Yuanzhong with grievances, and the other party threw her over lightly: "Is now the time to let you wander?" ”

Su Muxian: "......"

Blame me for accidentally catching the wrong point?

Jiang Yuan looked at her and kept covering her forehead, and couldn't help worrying if she was too strong, so he pulled away her hand and looked at it, only a little red, and then continued: "Actually, the royal power hidden in the shadows is also easy to guess. ”

Tang Yuyi asked, "So you know who it is?" ”

"When today's son gave birth to twelve sons, only seven are alive now, and among the remaining six, only His Royal Highness King Qin is ambitious, motivated and has a certain strength." Jiang Yuan said again, and suddenly bent the corners of his mouth without smiling.

"Coincidentally, I found out that the person who killed Hu Xiangyu's predecessor seems to be the secret guard of the prince of Qin."

"My dad!" Hu Xiaodie's eyes widened in surprise, "The murderer is the secret guard of the prince of Qin?" How is this possible! ”

She and Tang Yuyi found out that the other party might have something to do with the Bloody Clothes Gate and the royal family, but they didn't expect it to be this kind of relationship.

"There is no doubt that it is indeed him." Obviously, the corners of his mouth were still smiling, but Jiang Yuan's key voice had a chill for no reason, "He is too, the one who killed Zhang Baihe." ”

The name Zhang Baihe is really familiar, Su Muxian recalled it for a long time, and finally remembered this middle-aged scholar who had a relationship with her and drank wine in her inn.

"Is it him?"

Jiang Yuan bowed his head and said, "It's him." ”

He seemed to want to say something, his expression changed suddenly, his fingers quickly swiped his waist, and a silver thread flashed from his hand, and then the silver light instantly disappeared from the roof. This series of movements was so fast that everyone present had no time to react, only to hear the sound of bricks and tiles breaking outside and the loud sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the people in the room were stunned.

Tang Yu rushed out first with a twist of his body, the poison needle in his hand was already in his hand, and he shouted coldly: "What person? ”
