In Yuepu City, near noon, the sun is shining, on the long street of Jinsha, pedestrians are bustling, and the shops on the street are bustling, a prosperous scene. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At a certain corner of the street, unlike those restaurants and restaurants that are staggered and noisy at this time, the Yizhi Tea House seems to be a lot quieter. Just because most of the guests who come here are literati who drink tea and talk about Taoism, they like elegant and quiet places.

A faint burst of sandalwood wrapped around the moon beams and columns; On the performing arts stage in the store, a woman with a zither is playing a song of clouds and water, the vocal music is leisurely, gurgling, which not only fits the scene but also adds a unique quiet elegance to this teahouse.

At the counter, Shopkeeper Li is settling the recent accounts.

In a few days, it will be the Buddha Bathing Festival, and Shopkeeper Li is thinking about how to prepare some ingredients to make some black rice cakes for the festival. These pastries were originally a specialty of southern Gansu, and after being introduced to eastern Guangdong a few years ago, the response of the guests was very good, and gradually became a must-have seasonal spot every year.

In previous years, black leaves were mostly used, but this year, did you replace the Tiannan candle leaf boiled leaf stains? I heard this secret recipe from Liu's house on the next street! And the pastry made is also unique! As for the white glutinous rice, it is naturally better to use Qingyuan specialties...... Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Li hurriedly called the middle-aged man who was counting next to him: "Lao Wang, hasn't the goods arrived yet?" It is a few days late from Huadu out of Guangzhou Port, and this will also be the time. ”

"The shopkeeper's ......" Lao Wang leaned into the ear of the shopkeeper Li, lowered his voice a little and said: "It is said that the Chamber of Commerce has robbed a lot of goods in Qingyuan, and this will be a lot of trouble over there, so do you still have the heart to take care of our batch of Qingyuan rice?" ”

"It's a big deal." Shopkeeper Li was very surprised: "Is the news reliable?" ”

"Of course. It was Uncle Chen of the shipping department of the Port Chamber of Commerce who said that if it weren't for our good relationship, I really didn't know that there was such a thing. Lao Wang said, "Why don't we change to local rice this time?" ”

"That's all there is to it." Shopkeeper Li sighed while fiddling with his abacus and said: "Recently, there have been major events one after another, and I heard that the wolf smoke in the north is continuous, and the situation is precarious...... Thinking that the south is also far away from the place of strife, but unexpectedly, I heard one after another changes, and I don't know if it is true or false...... Dare to love that the days of peace and prosperity are coming to an end? Hey......"

At this time, a shopkeeper approached and asked, "Shopkeeper, some guests asked if there was a box on the second floor?" ”

"Didn't you say that? The entire second floor has been VIP for half a month and is temporarily closed. Shopkeeper Li frowned at the shopkeeper: What is the difference between this dead fish-eyed boy and a goldfish? It's really unteachable, look at your stupidity, a person in the world is a little second life......

It's just that, having said that, the guests who covered the entire second floor were also very generous. Shopkeeper Li remembered that there was also a rather beautiful woman among them. It's just that although it's always good to make money, it won't be doing something illegal for such a long time......

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Li was really a little afraid. He is doing serious business, and his ideal is to open a century-old store!

However, when he thought of the guests in the private room, he remembered that it seemed that the pastries ordered by the other party had not been delivered, and he was about to tell the shopkeeper to go to the kitchen, when he suddenly heard a harsh sound.

"Bang!"

I saw a strong man, slamming open the door of the store, and without saying a word, he ran towards the stairs, apparently going to the second floor.

This rude man doesn't match the elegant atmosphere of the store. This sound not only interrupted the playing Zheng song, but also seemed to frighten the tea guests who were recuperating and listening to the music, causing the eyes of several guests to gather.

But this man didn't care, and he had already gone upstairs with a few steps.

Shopkeeper Li opened his mouth but couldn't say half a word. Although the man's face was thin, he had a fierce look, which made people dare not stop him.

After a while, Shopkeeper Li remembered to tell the shopkeeper outside the counter: "Go to the kitchen to see if the pastries are ready, and ......send them to the guests in the box on the second floor."

"This ......" shopkeeper looked embarrassed.

"Also guests came. Afraid of what? Go, go, go. Shopkeeper Li remembered that the man seemed to be one of the guests in the box on the second floor, but he would be in a hurry, so people didn't have time to identify him.

Looking at the shopkeeper who reluctantly walked to the kitchen, Shopkeeper Li began to seriously consider whether it was time to change guys.

……

……

On the second floor of the teahouse, although it is fully covered, there are actually people, that is, one of the three boxes with the windowsill facing the street: Haitang Pavilion.

In the box with the door closed, a woman was sitting on a round sandalwood stool, with her back to the windowsill, bowing her head and silently reading a letter in one hand. In front of her stood three sturdy men, a cloud pattern mahogany square table separating the three men and one woman. There were several plates of pastries on the table; A celadon teacup was eight minutes full of tea, but it was no longer hot.

After a long time, the woman raised her delicate face, and a light smile skimmed to the man in the middle.

"Cheng Ming, did you meet the Guanghong Gang?"

"All the best." The man named Cheng Ming took the lead in walking half a step and replied: "As the Guanghong Gang that I met outside the city two days ago said, the Guanghong Gang has gathered more than a dozen people in Yuepu in the past few days. ”

"Not suspicious, right?" The woman asked with a smile.

"These outlaws are simple-minded, although there were only two people in me and Wang Qing at first, but fortunately, these people have not been in the same place for a long time, and there are many people who are not familiar with each other, so they can finally perfunctory." Cheng Ming glanced at Wang Qing, who was standing on his right, and continued to report: "Just wait for the time to come." ”

"Good." The woman turned to glance at the man who was shorter than the other two: "Fang Keng, you almost have to prepare." ”

"Yes." Fang Keng responded.

At this moment, with a loud "bang", the doors on both sides were pushed open heavily!

All the people in the Begonia Pavilion immediately tensed up, and the three men even jumped away and turned around, just about to make a move to meet the enemy, but they were all stunned.

I saw another man break into the box in a hurry, ignoring the delicate wooden door behind him that was about to fall apart, and walked to the table by himself, and he was not afraid of the frowning woman in front of him, so he grabbed the teapot on the table, pointed the mouth of the pot at his open mouth and poured the tea.

"Non-dust." The woman was a little dissatisfied: "Look at your barbaric appearance, it's like a mad cow breaking into the temple." With that, she glanced at Cheng Ming in the middle again.

Cheng Ming nodded slightly, walked a few steps, and closed the door again.

A long sound of "babbling" came. This one doesn't seem to be badly injured.

This visitor is Mo Feichen. He had just turned back from the original road in Xiyuan, and after two trips down the mountain road, he was so tired that he was half dead, and he was still in the mood to pretend to be elegant.

"This is not your boudoir, so I don't pity the jade." Mo Feichen said angrily: "What's the matter, Suzaku." Su Yatou and the demon girl named Ye Youyou, wouldn't they have already climbed trees or dug holes in the ground and ran? ”

"Looks like you ran away for nothing yesterday." This woman is Lu Xiaoying. When she heard Mo Feichen say this, she understood that the carriage he was following must have no important target. What's more, as early as today, she saw two carriages passing through Jinsha Street and heading towards Xu's mansion, and one of them was the carriage that traveled yesterday, but she didn't find anything abnormal. In the past few days, there has been no report of any mysterious people sneakily entering and leaving the Xu Mansion, so Su Ruoyun and Ye Youyou must have stayed in the Xu Mansion well. This is clearly asking for hardship...... So, Lu Xiaoying seized the opportunity to laugh: "Did you get any valuable information?" Wouldn't you just bring a few strips of grass? ”

Mo Feichen was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand to sweep his hair, and sure enough, a few emerald green sticks fell, and he was immediately even more annoyed.

Damn it! I wasted a night feeding mosquitoes, but I couldn't see the person I wanted to see the most!

Looking at Lu Xiaoying, who was comfortable and seemed to be watching himself make jokes, Mo Feichen gritted his teeth and slapped his swollen face and became fat: "Of course, there is some important information!" ”

He was naturally referring to the details of Lanyu that Liu Qianli bragged about last night, because this happened to be similar to what he had seen and heard, so he didn't think that Liu Qianli was all nonsense. It's just that this thing can be talked about on the stage?

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Lu Xiaoying pursued with a smile.

"The time has not yet come, so I will not disclose it for the time being." Mo Feichen stubbornly made a fool of himself.

"Hmph." Lu Xiaoying scoffed: pretend, continue to pretend......

"That's it." Mo Feichen changed the subject: "How is your plan going?" Is it the first batch? ”

"If you don't say you can't, you can do it, but you have to do it when you can." Lu Xiaoying replied. Although she looked down on Mo Feichen who never took her seriously, but anyway, the other party was also a person with a certain status in the gang, so there were some things that he should know. So, she stared at Mo Feichen and said, "There is another thing. His Royal Highness the Sword Demon will also pass through Yuepu in a few days. ”

"Oh? Is he going to do it too? Mo Feichen finished the first half of the sentence, and suddenly felt that Lu Xiaoying's words were a little illogical, so he asked, "What does it mean to pass." ”

"It's just passing by, not participating in the action on our side." Lu Xiaoying added: "His Royal Highness the Sword Demon has specially instructed me, I just want to talk to that one... Tell Shuangshuang's girls to go to southern Fujian, and don't have extra people to accompany them. ”

"Cut ......" Mo Feichen secretly snorted disdainfully. He has a deep wariness of Yu Jianwen, this person was a member of the Tianzheng Alliance for more than ten years, but suddenly he rebelled and turned to Piaoyunju. Even if he has today's status because he killed Liang Yanqiu, the rebel general of Piaoyunju, and won the appreciation of the right protector for his merits, but looking at his current behavior of being a child and even shielding the old people of Tianquanmen, where is the thought of thinking about the Bengang? Who would dare to say that this man is not half-hearted?

At this moment, a clear voice came, shattering his reverie.

"Non-dust. If you look so disrespectful now, the next moment the position of the soul seducer will be someone else at any time. ”

Mo Feichen was faintly shocked in his heart, but turned his head to the meaningful smile of Xiaoying on the road, and suddenly turned cold: "I am not shallow, everything I do, everything I think is floating clouds, my heart is open, there is nothing to say." ”

"That's good." Lu Xiaoying still smiled: "What's wrong with having a long relationship?" Like His Royal Highness the Sword Demon, he is a true man who is frank and open......"

"......" Mo Feichen no longer wants to take on this topic. In this regard, he is in the same mind as Bu Qianji.

That is. Woman. Woe to the waters. Cut......

Suddenly, a grunt sounded unbridledly.

Mo Feichen then remembered that he hadn't filled his stomach yet, so he shouted: "I'm dying of hunger, what is there to eat?" ”

"Yes." Lu Xiaoying snorted angrily at the table.

Mo Feichen swept the food on the table and fried it.

A plate of glutinous rice balls.

Two plates of glutinous rice balls.

Three plates of glutinous rice balls.

Your mother. Is this woman's brain made of glutinous rice balls? Mo Feichen only thinks about wine and meat in his mind now, and when he sees these sweets that are tired of death, he loses his appetite. He was about to get angry when he heard a knock on the door.

"Who!" Mo Feichen asked angrily.

A trembling voice drifted in from outside the door.

"Send ...... Food delivery. ”

"Oh!" Mo Feichen suppressed the fire a little and said loudly: "Come in!" ”

A shopkeeper walked in with a rather beautiful square stacked lunch box, bowed his head and walked towards the table. His steps were a little flustered, as if he was frightened by the fierce men around him, and he couldn't walk steadily.

"What's there!" Mo Feichen thought that maybe it was time to feast, and his eyes were glued to the lunch box of the shopkeeper.

But you can't seem to smell the aroma of hot food.

"Yes...... Yes...... There is a ......" shopkeeper can't even speak, just thinking about quickly putting down his things and slipping away. He finally walked to the table, and with a shuddering hand, he removed the lid from the lunch box and began to serve the dishes one by one.

Mo Feichen's eyes widened as he saw it.

A plate of glutinous rice balls was served.

Another plate of glutinous rice balls.

It's still a plate of glutinous rice balls.

Fourth set! Still glutinous rice balls!

Fifth set! Lose your marbles!

Lu Xiaoying's voice sounded very appropriately.

"No, I thought that this afternoon had also arrived, and one plate per person should be about the same, but my three subordinates were also men, and their appetites were inevitably better, so I ordered four more plates. It's just that this will not be enough for you. ”

Mo Feichen looked at Cheng Ming, Wang Qing and Fang Keng in surprise.

The three of them hurriedly avoided Mo Feichen's eyes. But the three-like expressions are vivid.

Over there, the shopkeeper asked unknowingly, "Guest officer, do you still want it?" ”

"Roll ......!"

Mo Feichen couldn't hold back his anger, and he wanted to throw the shopkeeper out of the window now along with the eight plates of glutinous rice balls on the table! .

If it weren't for the fact that he was cut off because of his successive misses, he wouldn't have fallen into the anger of this sweet banshee! Mo Feichen suddenly hated even more in his heart.

"Yes, yes, yes......" The shopkeeper was so frightened that he ran out of the door.

After a while, there was a rumbling sound, as if someone had actually rolled down the stairs on the second floor.

……

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Just after half a moment, Lin Xinyin, Liu Qianli, Xu Zhuoshu and Wen Qiu had already arrived in two carriages in front of the gate of Xu's mansion.

As soon as Lin Xinyin got out of the car, she saw Ah Hai standing in front of the door, and a ragged man following Ah Hai.

It was a strange combination that made her feel quite incongruous. For a whole day yesterday, did Ah Hai find the clue of Ling Yueyuan......? That beggar-like man is definitely not a member of the Xu Mansion, could it be someone who knows Xiaoyuan's whereabouts?

But...... There was no smile on Ah Hai's face, was this a precursor to bad news?

A flash of worry rose in her heart.

Ah Hai watched everyone get off the station one by one, then walked a few steps closer to Lin Xinyin, and said with a solemn expression: "Ah Mei, I have found the news of Ling Yueyuan, but ......" After a pause, he called the beggar behind him again: "Hey, Uncle, first tell Ah Mei what you saw and heard the day before yesterday." ”

The beggar opened his mouth wide and looked at Lin Xinyin, and after being stunned for a while, he nodded again, as if he understood something, and then squeezed out a bright signature smile, and the small bamboo stick held in his right hand beat the broken porcelain bowl held in his left hand rhythmically, and a crisp sound of "ding ding dong dong" began to sound.

As soon as Lin Xinyin heard the words "Ling Yueyuan", her heart immediately became nervous; But when he saw the beggar's movements, he was immediately surprised: What is this doing? Do you want a soundtrack before telling a story?

She was about to urge the beggar to say something quickly, but the other party seemed to play and sing.

"Xiaoyin Xiaoyin, you are there, Xiaoyuan is in the east of the city; Wait until your hair is gray, I think you think of the fire......"

The lyrics seem to have been upgraded. Lin Xinyin's cheeks suddenly exploded into big tomatoes, her head was blank, she opened her mouth but couldn't speak, and there were a few short sounds with different meanings around her.

"Poof......" Liu Qianli seemed to be snickering.

"Hey!" Wen Qiu smiled unabashedly, just like a lively woman who had not come out of the cabinet.

"Ahem......" Xu Zhuoshu pretended to be serious.

"This, this, this...... Who taught you to make it up? Lin Xinyin's tongue began to knot.

"Oh, of course it's that little brother......" the beggar sang more cheerfully.

Lin Xinyin only felt that even her forehead began to have a fever. It took a long time for her head to react, but there were only a few words left: Xiao Yuan, this big fool, is really a big fool, oh, it's just a big fool!

"Hey, uncle, I'm asking you to speak, not singing......" Ah Hai hurriedly came over to play the round, but there was also a hint of a smile on his originally serious face. After interrupting the beggar's singing, he turned to Lin Xinyin and explained: "Ah Mei, after returning to Yuepu yesterday, I mobilized the people of the Chamber of Commerce to search the whole city, and I heard in the east of the city that many merchants had seen a handsome young man looking for Ah Mei everywhere on the first day of the fourth month...... And not long after, I found this uncle singing everywhere. ”

East of the city, east of the city! Lin Xinyin's face was still hot, and her mood was surging: "That, that!" Now I'm going to the east of the city! But...... Where is the east of the city located......? ”

"Hey, Sister at Chengdong Inn." The beggar grinned and said, "That little brother said, as long as I take my sister to the Chengdong Inn, he will give me two silver coins......"

"Oooh! Thank you so much, thank you so much! Lin Xinyin subconsciously patted her front placket, thinking about whether she should pay others, but her body began to spin at the same time, and she couldn't wait to run towards the east of the city now. She was so nervous that she forgot what she should do first.

At this moment, Ahai's voice returned to seriousness and came in a deep voice.

"Sister, let me tell you something, you calm down first. The East Inn of the City ...... On the night of early April, a fire broke out and is now in ruins. ”

"What ?!?!" This thunderbolt on a sunny day made Lin Xinyin feel like she was in the frost of March: "Brother Hai, don't scare me!" ”

"It's okay, sister, no one was injured. Fortunately, it was not late that night, and all the residents and shop guys ran out...... "Ah Hai didn't finish speaking, but he saw Lin Xinyin turn around and run away!

"Sister, sister......" Ah Hai still wanted to explain something, but Lin Xinyin was already three feet away in a blink of an eye!

Here, Liu Qianli was not ambiguous, and immediately chased after Lin Xinyin's figure.

"Hey." Xu Zhuoshu glanced at Ah Hai and said, "Ah Hai, come over and have a look." ”

Ah Hai replied and hurriedly followed.

The beggar was still standing there. This moment of events made him unable to react immediately. After a while, as if he remembered something, he also walked towards the east of the city.

……

……

Half of the street where the Chengdong Inn is located has become a dangerous place. Some shops with wooden buildings were affected by the fire, either injured or collapsed, and the situation was terrible.

And the most tragic thing is that the inn has almost been burned to the ground, and only a few half-sections of black charcoal are left to stand barely on top of the ruins, as if singing to the sky.

Some laborers, or shop owners, had been laboriously cleaning up the site, but now some of them had stopped their movements and looked curiously at the beautiful girl standing in the middle of the street.

If it weren't for the guidance of well-wishers, Lin Xinyin would hardly have believed that the scorched earth remnant pillar in front of her was the original Chengdong Inn.

A day had passed, and she seemed to be able to smell the smoke in the air. The smell was no stranger to her.

She scanned around in a daze, not finding anything resembling the Moon's Rim. She noticed that some people seemed to be peeking at her, and some people even began to gather and point and whisper to her, as if wondering why she was standing here in a silent daze.

She felt her ears start to ring and her vision blurred, but she could see another familiar figure walking towards her.

"Xinyin." That person was Liu Qianli. He comforted: "Ah Hai said, although there was a sudden fire, but fortunately there were no casualties, so there is no need to worry." ”

"Why don't you wait for me?" Lin Xinyin was still staring at the ruins in front of her and muttering to herself. If that's fine, why doesn't he wait for her around here? It's just a momentary miss, but how much does it cost to meet?

"It shouldn't be an ordinary fire." Liu Qianli observed the scene attentively, frowned, and said: "It is said that it was a sudden fire, but it is rare for the fire to be so fierce, I am afraid that there will be something to fuel that night." ”

"Little Edge...... There could be no such big accident. Lin Xinyin's heart fluttered, and she remembered Ling Yueyuan's red flame. But how could such a fire be caused? Impossible! There's no reason for that!

"It's not an accident, it's a man-made disaster." Liu Qianli looked at Lin Xinyin and asked slowly, "Xinyin." Are you in trouble with some forces? ”

Lin Xinyin gritted her teeth and nodded slightly. Whether she admits it or not, she has been aware of herself and the moon, and unconsciously has been caught in a huge whirlpool that cannot be explained, but now she is in the darkness where she can't find the slightest bit of light, and she can't guess the direction of the future at all, she can only take one step at a time, which makes her depressed.

"If you are attacked, you must not continue to stay where you are, maybe the moon has successfully escaped from the predicament." Liu Qianli continued to enlighten and said: "Then as long as you track the direction of travel of the moon edge, isn't it? Moreover, Ah Hai just finished talking about all the clues......"

Lin Xinyin listened, and then she was a little relieved. She felt that she was indeed a little anxious enough, as if she lost her cool as soon as she heard the news of the moon's edge. Just now, she only cared about activating her heart and eyes and ran wildly, but she didn't care about Ah Hai behind her, who was still calling herself and working hard to find someone for herself, it was really rude......

So, Lin Xinyin hurriedly looked towards the way she came, and after a while, she saw Ah Hai, who was running towards her side, and her figure was getting clearer and clearer, and she suddenly felt guilty, and quickly stepped forward and apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Hai, I lost my temper just now......

"It's okay...... It's okay......" The panting Ah Hai stopped, curious: This girl obviously doesn't seem to have any martial arts foundation, how can she have that wind-like body?

After a pause, Ah Hai continued: "There is one more thing. Shortly after the fire broke out at the Chengdong Inn the night before, many people saw a man and a woman galloping on a horse, and after a while, they left the city. But it was the woman who rode the horse. ”

Female? Lin Xinyin was stunned. She had already determined that Ling Yueyuan and Xiao Ling were traveling together, but based on Yueyuan's personality and his relationship with Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling should not be driving the horse...... If you don't recognize the wrong person, it's ...... the moon edge is traumatized?!

Was there an attack that night?!

Lin Xinyin was anxious: "Brother Hai, Brother Hai...... Does anyone know what happened to the man and the woman?! Man, you didn't get hurt or anything, did you!? ”

"The horse was running so fast that no one could see the details." Ah Hai shook his head and said, "However, no one saw any other people galloping on horseback. Just the man, woman, and horse went out of the east gate, and they were gone. ”

"Out of town...... Where will it go......" Lin Xinyin asked helplessly.

"It's hard to say. Out of the city, there are several roads that divide into many towns in southern Jiangxi and southern Fujian, and it is difficult to know the specific whereabouts.

Ah Hai looked a little embarrassed, but still had a little confidence: "However, the Chamber of Commerce also has many bases and staff outside eastern Guangdong, and over time, it can always find people." ”

"Thank you, thank you......" Lin Xinyin also guessed that Ah Hai was comforting herself. But what can be done now?

"Xinyin, as long as people are okay. Aren't the destinations of Yueyuan and Xinyin all Fuzhou? Liu Qianli reminded Lin Xinyin: "And Yuepu Port has a ferry every day to go directly to Fuzhou, which is definitely more time-saving and trouble-free than land." ”

A glimmer of hope flashed in Lin Xinyin's eyes, but it passed away. It would be nice if you could take a boat away, but why wouldn't Moonrim do it? Are there any threats ......? And is this threat still in Yuepu City?

Suddenly, she remembered Ye Youyou and Su Ruoyun again. At this moment, the two of them, one injured and the other weak, are still a problem for self-preservation; As for Liu Chisa? He said he wanted to go back to Guanzhong......

"Xinyin, there is a solution to any problem, let's go back and rest for a while, and think about it later." Liu Qianli smiled and said, "This will be standing here until dark, and you can't wait for the edge of the moon, right?" ”

Indeed it is. Lin Xinyin nodded silently. She also wanted to rush back to discuss some things with Ye Youyou and Su Ruoyun. And just as she turned to leave, she saw a beggar standing on a corner of the street, who had provided valuable information.

She suddenly remembered that the beggar had said that Moonrim seemed to owe two silver coins.

"Wait for me ......for a while," Lin Xinyin whispered to Liu Qianli and Ah Hai, but her face quietly turned red.

She walked quickly to the beggar, and as she fumbled for two silver coins and handed them to him, she said gratefully, "Thank you, Abel." ”

"Good man! Uncle thought it was no joke......" The beggar smiled all over his face, but his smile lacked a bit of professional flavor: "Sister, you will always meet if you are fated, rest assured, rest assured!" ”

"Well, thank you!" Lin Xinyin's smile suddenly looked much better, but after a while, she blushed and said, "There is one more thing, Abel, then don't sing that song with a small sound and a small edge, ah?" ”

"Why?" The beggar was puzzled: "Aren't the lyrics bad?" Isn't it good to sing? I'll change it again. ”

"No, it's good, it's good......" Lin Xinyin's face turned even redder. She thought of the scene of beggars singing through the streets and alleys to make passers-by look sideways, and she was suddenly ashamed.

"Very well, so keep singing?" The beggar also understood something, but this will come to tease the lovely girl in front of him.

"No, no, no...... I mean, since that's the case, you can skip singing...... Thank you! Lin Xinyin, who was already ashamed to say something in the past, hurriedly stomped her feet, then hurriedly ended the conversation and ran away with her head down.

"Hehe......" The beggar looked at the girl who was gradually moving away, and he was in a good mood, and he waved the simple instrument in his hand again, and played and sang another theme leisurely.

"April 8, Shedouer, a thousand miles of marriage. The 10th generation repaired the same boat, and the 100th generation repaired to sleep together......"

……

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Night. Xu's mansion, a wing room somewhere in Liyuan.

The dim light came out through the window screen, drifting erratically in the shade of the flowers.

In the house, Lin Xinyin and Su Ruoyun sat on the openwork back circle chair, and Ye Youyou, who had not yet recovered from his injury, was half-lying on the yellow rosewood bed against the wall. The three of them looked at each other, but they were speechless at the moment.

The atmosphere was a bit solemn.

Lin Xinyin looked at Ye Youyou very seriously. She had already recounted what she had seen and heard in the afternoon and Liu Qianli's suggestion, thinking that although Ye Youyou's style of acting was not based on common sense, he could always turn danger into a disaster, and maybe he could have some better ideas.

It's just that Ye Youyou also looked at himself silently, with such a serious expression...... Could it be that things have reached such a point out of control?

Her hands clutched at a soft lump of fabric in her arms.

It seems that he has been staring at Ye Youyou for a while...... Just when Lin Xinyin was thinking about whether to open her mouth to break the difficult silence, she saw that the other party adjusted her posture slightly, her lips opened slightly, as if she was about to say something......

Lin Xinyin was also a little nervous, but unexpectedly, she heard Ye Youyou moaning softly.

"Xiaoyin, why are you looking at the slave family so affectionately......"

Boom! A small embroidered pillow flew towards Ye Youyou!

"Hey!" Ye Youyou quickly raised his right hand, and with a wave of his five fingers, the slender wind rope steadily entangled the flying thing! She pulled her hand back, took the pillow with her left hand, and moved it behind her, lying against the wall, smiling. It seems that although her steps are not healthy, her kung fu seems to have recovered seventy or eighty percent.

Lin Xinyin here is in a very bad mood!

Look over there again, there is still a demon girl who is trying to laugh at herself, Lin Xinyin is so angry that she can't control it, maybe the next moment she throws something else! "I'm asking what you just thought!"

"That Liu Qianli is quite reasonable. Anyway, you and Xiaoyuan will eventually go to Fuzhou, so it's only a matter of time before we meet. Since Xiao Yuan is traveling with the people of the Ouyang family, then here you can also ask the Xu Mansion to send someone to report to the Ouyang family in Fuzhou, isn't it? It only takes half a month to send the message back and forth, so that Xiao Yuan knows your whereabouts, he can rest assured, and you are also at ease. Ye Youyou finally said something serious.

"However, if there is any danger on the way, what if it is good?" Lin Xinyin's tone slowed down slightly, but it was still mixed with nervousness. What she was most worried about was that Yueyuan would not be able to go to Fuzhou for some reason.

"Piaoyunju's tentacles are not all over the land of Shenzhou, not to mention that after entering southern Fujian, Piaoyunju's power is even weaker, what are you afraid of?" After Ye Youyou finished a few words, he began to tease people again: "I see, you are uncomfortable if you haven't been with Yueyuan for a few days, aren't you?" It's really unbelievable to have a spring heart before the early summer arrives......"

"What a place is this! Don't talk nonsense......" Lin Xinyin was angry.

"Seriously, though. Whisper. Although it is also possible to take a direct boat from Yuepu to Fuzhou, you have to think clearly, the threat of forcing Yueyuan to run away that night may still stay in Yuepu. Perhaps your traces of Yuepu have also been mastered. If you go to Fuzhou alone, whether you take the sea or land route, you may be in danger. Ye Youyou regained his serious mentality.

"So what do you mean...... It's good for us to set off together every once in a while, but can we ask Xu Fu to help deliver the message first? However, how long will it take for your injuries to heal? Lin Xinyin felt that it was better to be safe. If you are unfortunate enough to be caught by the wicked, it will be more difficult to meet the moon. What's more, she is also quite concerned about the safety of Ye Youyou and Su Ruoyun. She just glanced at Su Ruoyun beside her, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ruoyun's eyes staring at her tightly, and the other party's demeanor as if she was afraid that once she went away, she would be separated from each other from now on, which made her even feel a little worried.

"Just to be on the safe side, it's going to be a few days." Ye Youyou stretched his waist as he spoke, and a long cry of enjoyment sounded, but there was no meaning of recuperation, but it seemed to be pampered: "You have to take care of it, take care of it, take care of it......."

If you raise it again, you will become a pig! Lin Xinyin really hoped that there was some secret recipe that could immediately make this demon girl live like a dragon and a tiger, and she walked like a fly. She remembered Su Ruoyun's ability, but this thought was fleeting. Just because she had seen Su Ruoyun's appearance of collapse after casting her ability, and Ye Youyou had clearly rejected Su Ruoyun's kindness, so she should still look for conventional medical treatment......

"Alright, Xinyin, change the subject." Ye Youyou felt that Lin Xinyin seemed to accept the reality, so he turned to ask, "How?" Yesterday's trip to Xiyuan, what adventures did you have? I didn't even want to come back to see my sister......"

“…… Just visited the ginkgo biloba for the next millennium...... But when it comes to adventures, it's really incredible, I can actually see a phantom ......" Lin Xinyin said as she spoke, suddenly remembering that when she had just met Ye Youyou and Su Ruoyun the night before, Ye Youyou also suggested that she should go and see the thousand-year-old ginkgo biloba in Xiyuan. Does this enchantress know some story?

However, Ye Youyou looked surprised: "Phantom? It's so much fun! It's the first time I've heard it! ”

Lin Xinyin was stunned for a moment, but still a little unwilling: "You ...... Don't know? ”

"What can I know?" Ye Youyou spread his hands.

"This thousand-year-old ginkgo thing? You don't know anything, and you're tricking me into seeing it? "Lin Xinyin is in a daze, is this demon girl pretending to be stupid?

"Oooh. That's it. By the way, have you ever dug the soil at the base of that big tree? Ye Youyou seemed to remember something, and as he spoke, he stretched out a pair of claws and gestured towards the air.

"What are you doing with digging soil?" Lin Xinyin froze.

"Dig for treasure! This old tree is said to be more than a thousand years old, and it is said that it is said to dig three feet into the ground, and there is a treasure under the tree! Ye Youyou said it matter-of-factly.

"Huh?" Lin Xinyin's heart was shocked. But how could she, an outsider, know the mystery? Could it be that I really lost my treasure last night......? Could it be that he is only one step away from solving the mystery of the phantom?!

"Really? Is it true? Lin Xinyin was a little shocked, and hurriedly confirmed it again and again.

"It's possible to be real, it's possible to be fake, I guess." Ye Youyou said very seriously.

"......" Lin Xinyin took a while to suppress her anger. She suddenly remembered the legend of the soul jade mentioned by Liu Qianli last night, and Ye Youyou, a demon girl who has been wandering the rivers and lakes for an unknown amount of time, does she know any information? So, she asked tentatively, "Yoyo, do you know the soul jade?" ”

As soon as the words fell, she noticed Su Ruoyun beside her, and her body seemed to tremble.

"Yes. Legend has it that soul jade is a strange treasure, a lucky star for those who practice martial arts, but it is also a bad star. There are those who claim to be invincible in the world for those who have obtained soul jade, and there are also rumors that the golden body of those who have obtained soul jade is immortal, and there are even rumors that those who collect soul jade can fly to the sky and ascend to immortals, tsk......" Ye Youyou said eloquently, but his tone was quite disdainful. She didn't seem to be curious why Lin Xinyin knew about the existence of the soul jade.

This just confirmed what Lin Xinyin heard from Liu Qianli, which made her even more curious about the mysterious soul jade. She was thinking about whether Ye Youyou still had some unique information, but unexpectedly, the other party shook his head and told the story again.

"There is also a saying, the soul jade can actually be broken again, and it can even be ground into powder, mixed with rhubarb, aloe vera, hemp seeds, cypress seeds, cassia seeds and one or two white sugars, boiled with eight points of water, and can be consumed...... This secret recipe, together with half a tael of soul jade essence powder, seems to have been speculated on the black market a few years ago, and it is difficult to find it...... But the so-called destined people seem to be half dead in the end, haha......"

Lin Xinyin blinked when she heard this: "How do you know the ...... of so many details?" What she was thinking was: Have you ever sold ......?

"It's all rumors. Do you know the real or the fake? Ye Youyou said with a smile, with a childish expression.

The devil believes in you!

Lin Xinyin was so annoyed: Why does this demon girl always change the topic!

"Actually, Xiaoyin." Ye Youyou suddenly took off his laughing tone, and said with some melancholy: "Soul Jade...... More like a hoodoo. For you, maybe the less you know, the better. The more you know, the more trouble you may get. If you know the soul jade, but unfortunately fall into the hands of the wicked, you may be tortured. ”

Lin Xinyin glanced at Ye Youyou in surprise. It turns out that this demon girl is caring about herself?

However, Ye Youyou's next words made her almost crazy.

"Actually, I don't care who you were taken away, but it's always a pity to think about it, these days, there is no affection and shallow affection! Instead of letting someone else torture you, let me do it myself! All right! Since you want to know the secret of the soul jade, then pay a price, how about giving you a choice? Option one, be my slave for the rest of my life; Option two, be my lifelong toy; Pick three ......"

"Bang!"

Before Ye Youyou finished speaking, Lin Xinyin had already pushed the door out!

I can't stand it!

……

Walking a few steps in a hurry, after a cool breeze blew, Lin Xinyin, who had calmed down a little, slowed down.

She heard a soft call behind her.

"Sister Yin, Sister Yin......"

Is it Ruoyun?

Lin Xinyin hurriedly turned around and looked, and sure enough, she saw a petite girl walking towards her.

"Sister Yin......" approached Su Ruoyun in front of her, just stopped her steps, and after exhaling, she explained: "Actually, Sister Youyou is just joking...... She really cares about Sister Yin, and she is afraid of another accident. And ......"

Su Ruoyun's face was a little solemn, and her voice was very deep: "Soul Jade...... It's really hoodoo, and it's uncertain. ”

"I'm not really mad at her...... Or rather, I'm more annoyed with myself. Seeing Su Ruoyun reluctantly mediating, Lin Xinyin felt a little funny. In fact, why didn't she know Ye Youyou's weird style? But her mood today is indeed chaotic, and she can no longer bear too much stimulation. For days, she felt like a pawn pushed by an invisible force, when would she be able to control the direction of this wheel of fate?

"Don't be annoyed...... It's not too late at night, so I'll go to the garden with Sister Yin, okay? Su Ruoyun showed a good-looking smile.

"Uh-huh." Lin Xinyin looked at the optimistic girl in front of her, and felt quite emotional. In fact, compared with Su Ruoyun, how can I say that what happened to me is unfortunate? It's ridiculous to ask the other person to comfort themselves in turn......

……

Along the path, you will come to the side garden after a while.

It's still as quiet and elegant as ever. This garden occupies a large area, but it seems to be only for the guests of the Xu Mansion.

Walking in the garden with the fragrance of flowers, I vaguely calmed down a lot. Lin Xinyin walked and walked, but inadvertently saw Su Ruoyun's hands bent into his arms, as if he was still holding a thing that seemed to be made of white jade.

Is that...... A flute called Frost?

Here, Su Ruoyun also noticed Lin Xinyin's eyes, lowered her head, and said a little embarrassedly: "I just saw that Sister Yin was in a bad mood, and I thought about playing a flute song to relieve Sister Yin's boredom." But when he had to summon the condensation frost, he remembered that he didn't know if he would disturb the rest of the Xu Mansion......"

"Heh......" Lin Xinyin saw Su Ruoyun's obviously unbearable appearance, so she encouraged: "Anyway, there won't be anyone here, Ruoyun will play the music to your heart's content, I want to listen to it too." ”

"Then, then it's ugly......" Su Ruoyun frowned with joy, as if the bird that had been suppressed for a long time would suddenly be liberated, but he still looked cautious: "However, after all, it's night, it's better to be quiet." ”

After that, Su Ruoyun looked around at the surrounding forests, garden flowers, Qiaoting Cui Tan, and felt a gust of evening breeze gently brushing his sideburns, and then slowly picked up the frost.

"Frost Nightwind"

The night seemed to be drunker, and the wind seemed softer.

A soft and gentle flute music, as if embedded in the repeated night winds, swam through Lin Xinyin's heart, picked up the secret voice of the heart, and floated towards the starry sky.
