Chapter 46: News
When the sky darkened, when Xue Yun walked into Xiao Luo's room with the freshly boiled medicinal soup, he saw him, sitting by the half-open window and staring at the moon in the sky, pressing one hand on his chest, not knowing what to think.
Xue Yu knew that there was his pendant, or rather, his Kunwu knife.
Everything in the room is no different from before they moved in, nothing more or less, it doesn't look like someone is staying in the slightest.
Xue Yun walked in and put the medicinal soup on the table in front of Xiao Luo, and the wooden tray touched the tabletop, making a slight crisp sound.
"Drink the medicine. ”
Xiao Luo came back to his senses, first smiled at Xue Yuan, and when his gaze moved down to the medicinal soup on the table, he couldn't help but tremble: "Yuan'er, that ......"
"I watched you drink. ”
"......" Xiao Luo sighed, picked up the medicine bowl resignedly, and kept glancing at Xue Yuan's hand.
Xue Yun said clearly: "I didn't bring candied fruit. ”
Xiao Luo's hand holding the medicine bowl trembled, took a deep breath, and in the end, he was still under Xue Yuan's staring gaze, raised his head and drank the dark brown medicinal soup in the bowl.
Xue Yun pursed his lips and held back a smile, looking at Xiao Luo's face that changed all of a sudden, and looked at it for a while before he moved, leaned over, and stuffed a pine nut candy into his mouth.
Xiao Luo, who spent almost all his energy on making his expression too hideous under the indescribable and long-lasting smell of medicine, was defenseless against what Xue Yun handed over, and subconsciously opened his mouth to swallow it, and when he tasted the sweet taste in his mouth, the whole person relaxed all of a sudden, slowly loosened his brows and squinted his eyes.
Xue Yun smiled and looked around: "What are you thinking about? ”
"Clean up?" Xiao Luo had sugar in his mouth, and his words were a little vague: "Aren't you going to leave tomorrow to hurry?" ”
"Hurry?" Xue Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Luo: "What road?"
"Stubborn state. ”
Xue Yun shook his head and said to Xiao Luo: "No, we won't go." ”
"Yu'er?"
"Yes, I really want to find out the whereabouts of the Shangguan family as soon as possible, and I really want to find out the truth as soon as possible, but ......" Xue Yun let out a long sigh: "Xiao Luo, you are still injured, and if there is an accident, I am afraid that you will not be as lucky as before." According to the original plan, if the matter on the Su Town side has not been affected and no one has tracked it down, we will stay in Lingling City for the time being, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and we can also repair with peace of mind, and take this opportunity to find out some other news to prepare. ”
Xiao Luo moved his lips and was about to say something, but was stopped by Xue Yun raising his hand.
"Xiao Luo. She looked him in the eye very seriously: "For me, truth and justice are indeed important, but that doesn't mean that you are not important." ”
Xue Yuan's voice was very soft, but at this moment, it fell heavily on Xiao Luo's heart.
They grew up together since childhood, Xiao Luo has always seen clearly and understood, and has always known that he actually has a lot of weight in Xue Yuan's heart.
It's just that this is the first time she has spoken seriously.
Maybe......
His little girl finally got her head down......
Xue Yun watched the smile on Xiao Luo's face become more and more obvious, brighter and brighter, and his eyes seemed to be filled with the entire bright galaxy, shining in the dark night.
Xiao Luo couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and hugged Xue Yuan, who was standing in front of him, into his arms.
Xue Yun was hugged by him inattention, clinging to his neck socket, feeling his hands on her back, a little unnaturally stiff, but with a hot temperature.
She heard him chuckle in her ear, and the laughter was full of joy that could not be concealed, and it became brighter and brighter.
“...... Xiao, Xiao Luo?"
She felt a little hot at the base of her ears and a little hot on her face, but she didn't push him away.
Possible...... She also thinks it's good.
Peace of mind, steadfastness, and then ...... In the bottom of her heart, she is also happy, right?
"Hmm...... I said last time, let you change your name, do you remember?" Xiao Luo leaned against her ear, her voice was a little low, and the smile on her face that didn't let Xue Yun see it was bright and even a little silly, but there was a little sultry hoarseness in her voice.
"Uh......" Xue Yun remembered that a few days ago, someone complained that she called Zhou Yan "Ah Yan" to be a relative, but called him even with his surname, and remembered someone's proposal later, and couldn't help coughing lightly twice: "What, Ah Yan told me herself, she said that her family sometimes calls her like that...... If you want, I'll ...... later. Will I call you 'Ah Luo' in the future?"
Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, raised his chin from Xue Yuan's shoulder, straightened up, and looked at her: "...... Why should I follow her call?"
"That'...... Let's take the first name with the last name. ”
Xiao Luo only felt that the pine nut candy in his mouth was eaten too quickly, and at this moment, there was no source of sweetness in his mouth, and the strange taste of medicinal soup came up again, and somehow it was still a little sour?
"Besides......" Xue Yun spoke out before Xiao Luo opened his mouth, but he lowered his eyes and didn't look at him: "I actually prefer this, it's been a habit for so many years." Every time I open my mouth to call your name, I feel ...... in my heart Extraordinarily down-to-earth. ”
Xiao Luo was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face froze for a moment.
Xue Yun lowered his head slightly, and didn't wait for Xiao Luo to react for a long time, and his heart was quite up and down, but he didn't dare to look up at him.
When Xue Yun was hesitating whether to say something and change the topic, the person in front of her suddenly burst into laughter, she looked up, but saw that he was smiling so that his eyebrows and eyes were bent, and the corners of his mouth were raised high, and before she could see the light in his eyes more clearly, he pulled him back into his arms and hugged him tighter than before.
"...... Yu'er," she heard him sigh in her ear, "I didn't know it before, but it was ...... You're so good at talking. ”
“...... I ......"
"It's very beautiful. He hooked the corners of his mouth and couldn't help the tremor in his chest: "I've heard it...... The best words to hear. ”
Xue Yun leaned on his shoulder and moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Really, she didn't know what to say.
Xiao Luo closed his eyes and let out a sigh: "In this case, you can say more in the future." ”
Xue Yuan: "......"
......
In the days that followed, Xiao Luo concentrated on recuperating from his injuries, and Xue Yun did not go out often although he retouched and covered up his appearance.
Xiao Luo retreated for ten days, and I don't know if the injury of this backlash was not as serious as the previous time, or if this time there was a good elixir to recuperate, the injury improved quite quickly, and even faintly felt that his cultivation had made progress, and when the injury was completely healed, his cultivation should be able to be promoted to the foundation building consummation.
Xue Zhen has been concentrating on cultivation in the courtyard without going out for a few days, it may be that the golden power of the "origin" in Qishanhui's mouth is of great benefit to her, Su Zhen was not obvious at that time, and now she has obviously reduced the stagnation she had in the past, and she has also gained a lot.
In this case, the ones who would walk around Lingling City from time to time to inquire about the news were Su Run and Zhou Yan.
Seven thousand years ago, it was not easy to mention it rashly and worry about attracting some attention, and it was not a topic that people would often talk about nowadays, so there was really no progress, but another thing that the two of them paid special attention to, it was much easier to get the news.
Sioux Town.
By the time the news came from Lingling City on the border between Cangzhou and Qiaozhou in the north, and Su Zhen, it was already the twelfth day after the four of them arrived in Lingling City.
According to the distance between Lingling City and the border town of Suzhou, this speed is really surprisingly slow.
At the same time, little by little news came from Su Zhen......
Some people say that the mountain range with flowing grass on the border of Cangzhou in Qiaozhou near Suzhen is moving, and there seems to be a turbidity and evil gas gushing out, and Suzhen, which is not far from the mountain range, is suffering from this.
Some people say that Su Zhen cultivated as the highest monk Qi Shan Hui did not know what evil art he fell for in that mountain range, and after returning to Su Town, he banned the entire town from cultivating evil skills, and successively killed nearly 20,000 ordinary people in Su Town.
There are also people who say that the Qishan Hui of the Jindan Great Perfection first found a secluded place in the mountains to retreat and wanted to break through the Yuanying, but who knew that the advance was not successful, but was devoured by the demons, and when he returned to Su Town, he went insane and slaughtered.
Whatever the way it is said, the Streamer Grass Mountains are involved.
The town of Sioux has been destroyed, and the surviving townspeople have been moved to other places with the help of several monks of the family who rushed to investigate. The Feng family, the Tang family, and the Xuanqing Sect who participated in this matter all earned a good impression in people's mouths.
The Streamer Grass Mountain Range, which "may be different and very dangerous", has also been sealed by these three forces, and no monk or ordinary person is allowed to set foot in it until more clues are investigated and it is confirmed that there is no crisis in the mountain range.
After listening to the news about Su Zhen in Lingling City, Su Run, who had always had a straight face, calmly returned to the small courtyard where they were temporarily living with Zhou Yan, who was almost unable to hold his face.
When Su Run and Zhou Yan returned to their residence, Xue Yun and Xiao Luo got news from Lu Yan.
Lu Yan really knows.
There is only one word on Xiao Luo's letter to Lu Yan to explore the spirit bird: Miao.
And on the letter that Lu Yan sent back with the same spirit bird, there were only two words: Qing, sister.
Sending a message with a spirit bird is not foolproof in the end, and once the matter of the official family of Qingyun Jue is leaked, it is too dangerous, and neither of them dares to write too much on the letter.
But the meaning is understood by each other.
Lu Yan did know the name Shangguan Miao. The friend he was talking about at the beginning was named Shangguan Qing, and Shangguan Miao was Shangguan Qing's sister.
It's just that......
According to Zhou Yan, when she met Shangguan Miao six years ago, Shangguan Miao was scarred and single. Why did Shangguan Qing, who had passed on to Lu Yan the true essence of the essence, be separated from his sister Shangguan Miao? Is it separated, or has it been ......
Just when Xue Yun and Xiao Luo were a little heavy in their hearts because of the not good conjecture, Su Run and Zhou Yan came back and brought the news about Su Zhen that began to spread in Lingling City today.
“...... There are only the Feng family, the Tang family, and the Xuanqing Sect, and there is no Demon Hall and the Li family?"
"Huh?" Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard Xue Yuan's question: "No, no...... But, why are you paying attention to this?"
"Because it's not a small thing. Su Run's voice was calm, and the look on his face didn't show too many fluctuations.
"Huh?"
Su Run frowned slightly: "Where is Su Zhen? Where is that Streamer Grass Mountain Range?"
Zhou Yan blinked: "Just ...... Cangzhou and Qiaozhou...... Huh?"
"Found out?" Su Run narrowed his eyes: "Qiaozhou Demon Palace, Cangzhou Li Family, the two forces that should appear there the most, and the two forces that deal with this matter have no news." ”
"That'...... The Demon Hall and the Li family, why didn't they go?"
"It's not necessarily that I didn't go. Xiao Luo interjected and looked at Su Run's face: "Maybe it's just, there's no news coming out, or...... Didn't really get involved. ”
"That ......"
"Su Run. Xiao Luo looked at Su Run: "Do you want to go back to the Demon Palace?"
Su Run was silent for a moment: "It's to go back, but it can't be now." "At this time, it is the time when the wind is at its tightest in Qiaozhou, after all, Su Run has appeared in that mountain range and Su Town, and there is no guarantee that he will not be recognized, and it will not be good to go back at this time in case he attracts someone's attention.
When he was in the Tang family's annex, Su Run tried to contact the people in the nearby Demon Palace, but he received a response.
As early as that time, the Demon Temple had already noticed the situation in Su Zhen and sent someone to investigate, but why......
It seems that he is going to find an opportunity to interrogate his senior brother and ask about it.
Xiao Luo understood Su Run's thoughts, so he didn't ask again.
There is Su Run here in the Demon Palace, and the Li family ......
Xue Yun slowly clenched his fists and took a deep breath.
"The news that came out was controlled. Su Run said in a deep voice: "But the four of us, all the way from Su Town, are still calm, and until now, we have not encountered any investigation and obstruction. ”
"You mean, somebody to help us...... Secretly stopped people who wanted to block and control the news, or who wanted to investigate the Streamer Grass Mountains and Sioux Town?"
"Senior Tang?" Zhou Yan blurted out, but then frowned and puzzled: "That'...... So what role did the Tang family play in this? Together with the Feng family and the Xuanqing Sect?"
"The Tang family is the last and most low-key among the four major families. Xue Yun thought for a while and said, "Many things have always been left alone, and ...... Even if he is in Mianzhou with the Xue family, he has few contacts. This time it was mixed up in this matter...... It's a little weird indeed. ”
Zhou Yan thought for a while: "Could it be because Tang Wei's predecessor happened to be there......? Can't pick it out?"
“...... Maybe. ”
However, if this is the case, the previous speculation is a little more likely. If the Tang family had to meddle in Su Zhen's affairs because of Tang Wei and Tang Ling, then Tang Wei Tang's predecessors must have a high status in the Tang family, and they are by no means as simple as ordinary family children.
Xiao Luo looked at Xue Yun and Zhou Yan, who guessed Tang Wei's head, frowned, and didn't say much.
Tang Weitang's predecessors should have indeed helped a little, but it was probably only within the range of the vicinity of Su Town, and the others were ......
He always felt that there was a faint shadow of someone else in the background.
Start in the middle of that mountain range.
