Seeing that Bu'an and his party were gradually moving away, Song Manqiu hesitated to follow, but couldn't take a step.

As early as the boat that came to Jiangning, she knew that Bu Gongzi was going to perform a play, the purpose of which was nothing more than to cope with the monthly conference - I have to admit that he acted so well that everyone was afraid to avoid him, and even herself and her cousin had to keep a distance from him.

But why did he suddenly change his character tonight?

Just for the sake of his master Tu Yao, won't this scene be performed?

Even so, what did he come to Yang Xiu for?

Why did Yang Xiu listen to that unbelievable piece of advice and go with him?

Song Manqiu's heart was full of doubts, he was better than him on the Qimin Dao, and he seemed to be unable to grasp any clues at all.

When she was in Qufu, she had always been proud, but this pride gradually collapsed since she saw it in the suburbs of Yuezhou, and now it has been shattered, and there is a trace of inferiority that she has never felt before.

When he was still in Qimin Road, Song Manqiu felt that Bu Gongzi was always out of reach, and every time he got closer, he had to pretend to be stupid, perhaps because he was too stupid.

Tonight, the feeling intensified.

She stood on the long street, watching Bu'an walk away, and finally disappeared into the corner, just like every time he left, so resolute, never looking back, only feeling frustration and powerlessness, like an endless net, enveloping her, making her unable to move.

Song Manqiu never thought that she would be a woman who stayed in the boudoir and only asked for a husband and children. When she was seven years old, she single-handedly picked up archery among the six arts. And in her dream, her husband should be a hero who can fight side by side with her and become famous all over the world.

But tonight, she suddenly found that she had found the figure in her dream, but she might never be able to keep up with his steps and be his confidant.

There was a knot in his chest, and he wanted to gallop his horse and pull his bow, but he didn't know where to shoot the arrow.

At this moment, Song Manqiu's only consolation is only cultivation - although she once said in front of her grandfather that in time, Bu Gongzi's cultivation will also be successful, but after all, it will take time.

She slowly turned around, walked into the courtyard, passed through the sparse academy students, and turned a deaf ear as she walked past the injured fellow disciple who was being treated.

It wasn't until she stepped up the stairs that she vaguely heard someone cursing, and heard the voice of her cousin Song Shijin, asking something behind him.

Song Manqiu turned her head, her face blank, as if she was still immersed in her own thoughts.

“...... Did you see him do it?"

"What?"

“...... He injured people, and your brothers and sisters said that he was ruthless like a madman, and he couldn't stop him at all. ”

"Who?" Song Manqiu frowned slightly, as if it was a very difficult thing to understand Song Shiqiu's words.

"Bu Zhidao! Bu Zhidao injured your senior brother, just one by one! No one was able to stop him......" Song Shijin repeated again.

Song Manqiu stood on the stairs, glanced at the crowd downstairs, and saw that it was Qiu Tong, the eldest disciple of the senior disciple of the senior uncle Kong Heqin, who was being treated, and he couldn't understand what his cousin was talking about.

"Step boy's man...... Is that the great monk?" she asked.

"It's Bu Zhidao, he has been hiding his cultivation!" Song Shijin's face was very ugly: "Didn't you listen to everyone, not only himself, but the monks beside him, and a ghost servant, all have cultivation above the Skyclave!"

Song Manqiu was stunned, and then he heard the discussion downstairs.

"This man is so well hidden, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes tonight, I would have thought he was just a trickster!"

"No wonder he is so arrogant! At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he has such cultivation, and he wants to be the son-in-law of that charming official's family, and anyone will be driven crazy!"

"You may not be so arrogant, right? Senior Brother Qiu is a piano player, and he is not good at close combat, so he may be careless in a hurry. ”

"Do you eat dry rice when you are the brothers who watch the night? ”

"Maybe everyone is careless, after all, ......"

"Don't say it!" Qiu Tong suddenly stood up with a wounded leg, pushed away the junior brother who stepped forward to support, and glanced at everyone with a straight face: "People have neither sneak attacks from behind, nor have they hurt people with secret arrows, and they are upright and have many enemies! I am not good at learning my own arts, where do I have so many excuses!"

He jumped and jumped into the house, looking a little funny, but none of the people present thought it was funny.

"No one is allowed to seek revenge! I will seek him again when I have the opportunity in the future." After Qiu Tong said this, he entered his house and closed the door with his backhand.

The crowd was silent.

Song Manqiu and Song Shijin glanced at each other, and there were mixed tastes in their eyes.

......

......

At the foot is a slippery river beach, not far away the Yangzi River surging to the east, and the dense reeds are particularly eerie in the blood-colored moonlight.

When Bu An stopped and turned around, Yang Xiu also stopped, and Monk Huiyuan and Guang Nian stood a little away from them.

"Bu Gongzi brought me to this wilderness late at night, not just to listen to the waves and enjoy the scenery, right?" Yang Xiu smiled helplessly.

"Brother Yang wants to know, who is secretly assassinating these days?" Bu An smiled and said.

"Bu Gongzi has found the person who carried out the assassination?" Yang Xiu said seriously.

"Brother Yang, you might as well listen to me first, if it makes sense. Bu An said: "In just six or seven days, the assassin has killed more than 60 people, and he has never missed, even if the group of heroes live in one place and patrol all night, they have not been able to leave him, and his cultivation does not seem to be weak." ”

"Well," Yang Xiu nodded, "If there is only one assassin, I think I will be extraordinary." ”

"Brother Yang, why did he want to assassinate?" asked Bu An.

Yang Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. ”

"It's hard to say, is it inconvenient to say?" Bu An stared at Yang Xiu's face.

Yang Xiu was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "Where Bu Gongzi said, it's hard to say, naturally it's hard to judge." ”

"Guess. Bu'an spread his hands.

"Perhaps this person is coveting the month-by-month order, and before the conference is opened, he will get rid of some opponents first. Yang Xiu thought for a moment.

"In the past few days, the dead are all nameless people, even if it comes to the monthly conference, they can't become that person's opponent, right?" Bu An shook his head.

"Does Bu Gongzi already know what the monthly conference competition is?" Yang Xiu smiled with a hint of teasing, which meant that before he knew what the monthly conference was trying, anyone could become a potential opponent for the assassin.

"There is no essay competition, and in addition to those young heroes from the wealthy faction, will it be spent by other families? Brother Yang obviously guessed wrong. Bu An still shook his head.

"Then what is the purpose of the assassin according to Yibu Gongzi?" asked Yang Xiu.

"It's hard to kill some unknown people with so much effort. So, he's not killing for the sake of killing......" Bu An paused and said, "It's to create panic." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yang Xiu wondered.

"While the monthly meeting is not in session, try to get rid of as many people as possible. In this way," Bu An looked at Yang Xiu and said, "There will be less hatred." ”

"The more Bu Gongzi said, the more mysterious it became, but I didn't understand it. Yang Xiu shook his head.

"It's okay if Brother Yang doesn't understand," Bu An took a step forward: "But the silver for repairing the courtyard wall has to accompany me, right?"
