Yu Shu took Xue Rui to Huixing Street the next day to meet Qu Hai who was locked up in the small courtyard.

Xue Rui sent someone to inquire about Qu Hai after returning to his house last night, and there was no news back this morning, he, like Yu Shu, knew very little about Qu Hai, except that he was the deputy gang leader of the Evergreen Gang in Qiu Kwai Fang, and he knew nothing about it.

Qu Hai obviously had some impressions of Xue Rui, knowing that he and Yu Shu were "together", and wanted to trick him, without waiting for Xue Rui to speak, he said directly: "I still said yesterday, I won't say anything, don't waste your efforts, either let me go, or kill me, if you send me back to the yamen, I have my own way to die." ”

After speaking, he closed his eyes and mouth together, which made it clear that he would not eat soft and hard.

In fact, Xue Rui has a great way to make a hard-mouthed person speak, but when he thinks of how Qu Hai faked his death and escaped from prison, he has to use some heavy punishment to make him submit.

Xue Rui didn't ask Qu Hai a word of nonsense, turned his head and glanced at Yu Shu, and the two walked out of Lu together, avoiding Zhou Hu and Song Dali.

"Let your people watch him watch him first, and when I get the news, there will always be a way to get him to speak." Xue Rui said.

Yu Shu nodded, with the same plan as Xue Rui.

So the two didn't stay in the courtyard for long, Yu Shu left some money for the two subordinates who had just collected, told a few words, and left with Xue Rui.

***

The two walked to the street, Xue Rui said that he was going to forget the machine building, and asked Yu Shu if he wanted to sit together, have lunch and then go back, Yu Shu was worried about the "bad luck" she had made a few days ago, and she was not in the mood to play for a while, so she excused herself.

"The results of the Dayan exam have already begun, and I don't know what the exam will look like, so I have to go back and think about my future livelihood. If you're not busy, take me to the house around the corner, and if you're busy, I'll hire a sedan chair in front of you. ”

It costs a few bucks to take a sedan chair than a horse-drawn carriage. Yu Shu has used a lot of money in the past few days, and he feels sorry for the money.

Xue Rui smiled: "It's a little bit of work, let's go, I'll send you." ”

The two got into the car, Xue Rui poured a cup of tea first, handed it to Yu Shu, and asked her again: "I see that you have a sad face one morning." If it was because of what I said last night, I don't have to worry. The matter of Qu Hai is indeed very strange, but the situation I saw him just now doesn't seem to be going for you at all, but I just happened to be met by you, so why should you worry about it. ”

Xue Rui could see that Yu Shu was hiding something, so he spoke to enlighten her.

Listening to Xue Rui's relief. Yu Shu sighed and shook his head: "Big brother doesn't know, it's not this that bothers me." ”

Xue Rui looked puzzled: "What's the matter?" I'll listen to it so I can help you solve your problems. ”

Yu Shu raised his head and met Xue Rui's eyes full of concern, originally hesitating to talk about it, but suddenly there was a small idea of confiding, wanting to talk to the person in front of him about her troubles, as soon as this thought came out, it rubbed up, just like the melon seedlings in the field at the end of summer, which couldn't be suppressed.

"I told myself a fortune divination a few days ago. Woe to find out yourself. ”

Xue Rui looked at Yu Shu and said these two sentences hesitantly, after a little hesitation, his face became a little solemn, Yu Shu's temper, he understood it very well, although sometimes he likes to lie and talk nonsense. But she never jokes when she is serious, and when she says such a thing at this time, she must have expected her "disaster"**, and it is not small.

Seeing that Xue Rui didn't interject, Yu Shu raised his hand and took a sip of tea, wet his throat, slightly frowned his delicate eyebrows, and said: "This matter has to be talked about going back to the princess's mansion for a banquet last time, and when I came back, I was worried that the eleventh prince would find me unlucky, so I gave myself a few hexagrams of peace, and I knew that the murderous appearance had not faded, and I have been secretly vigilant." On the second day of junior high school, I saw Ji Xingxuan's figure at the Shuangyang meeting, and I had some doubts in my heart, and on the second day, I caught Qu Hai on the street, do you say this thing is a bit evil? ”

Xue Rui couldn't cry or laugh, this is really a coincidence, no wonder she is suspicious, if it is him, she should be a little more careful.

"I, you know the truth, you won't have a peaceful birthday in a few days, if you talk about bad luck, I say second, no one dares to talk about first." Yu Shu's mouth was full of self-deprecation, but his face was written with resignation.

The corners of Xue Rui's mouth moved suspiciously, echoing her words in his heart.

"I was worried that someone was going to target me, so I gave myself a good fortune when I went back. I told you that my hand of six thaumaturgy, what I asked for was very accurate, and I bought a small box of ambergris incense to help, and it took a lot of effort to calculate a rough idea, hexagram - this month thirteen, I am afraid of death. ”

Xue Rui's eyelids jumped, staring at Yu Shu's slightly heavy face, and he didn't make a sound for a while.

It was Yu Shu who shook out the burden that had been blocked in his heart for several days, and suddenly felt a lot easier, drank the tea in his hand, gently put it on the table, and turned his head to look at Xue Rui, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"Could it be that you are at fault?" As soon as Xue Rui finished asking, he raised his hand, restrained Yu Shu, who was about to speak, and told her in a steady tone: "The Seventh Prince and the Eleventh Prince, I dare to promise that I will never attack you, at least not during the Shuangyang Meeting." And Qu Hai, you can also see that his appearance can help you. In addition, you have no other enemies, and where did you get the murderous disaster, I think you are all soldiers. ”

Hearing this, Yu Shu did not rush to defend himself, but recalled an old incident half a year ago, and mentioned it to Xue Rui in a calm voice: "Last year, I went north from Yiyang City, and you knew about the catastrophe on the way, but I never mentioned it to you. In fact, this time I was terrified, not for no reason, but because the six hexagrams I calculated were the same as those I had made on the merchant ship that day. ”

Remembering the night when he escaped death, the bloodied merchant ship, the corpses in his eyes, the rushing river waves, and the coldness of drowning people, Yu Shu couldn't help but shudder, a shadow gradually condensed in his eyes, and his face turned a little pale.

"Shu?"

The back of her cold hand was covered with a layer of warmth, Yu Shu came back to her senses in a trance, and her blurred vision became clear again when she faced a pair of black shining eyes, took a light breath, pulled the corners of her mouth, and said with a far-fetched smile: "At least I have experienced it once, I'm afraid I'm not afraid." ”

Xue Rui couldn't laugh at all, just now I clearly saw a trace of cowardice in her eyes, looking at her stubbornness, I only felt distressed, thinking that this girl has to bear so much for others, and who will share it for her.

At this moment, he couldn't hide it, the palm covering the back of her hand was clenched tightly, and he couldn't say many words of comfort, but there was one sentence: "I have to help you." ”
