Chapter 43: Strange Murder
It turned out to be you! ”
Xu You repeated it again, and many of the questions that had been lingering in his mind along the way were finally explained at this moment.
Yuan Qingqi, who was sitting behind the cloth barrier, seemed to feel something, and said lightly: "What does Qilang mean by this?" ”
Xu You suddenly stood up and walked towards the barrier. Shui Xi had been kneeling beside him, four or five steps away from Xu You, but at this time, he didn't see how to move, his figure flashed, and he was already in front of him, his eyes looked at Xu You, and he said softly: "Lang Jun, please stop!" ”
Xu You stopped, stared at her clear and bottomless black eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "It's me who left, I didn't expect that such a weak girl as you would be able to do martial arts......"
Shui Xi just stood so casually, but the momentum has undergone earth-shaking changes, the whole person seems to be a pool of eternal water, reflecting the night moon above the void, the wind can not blow a trace of scales, the rain can not stir up a little waves, neither can see the depth of the water, nor can you see the origin and destination of the water.
Soft to win strong, weak to win strong!
Xu You was shocked, not because of how high Shui Xi's martial arts were, at best, it was just a cultivation that had just entered the product, but the exercises she showed at the moment were too similar to the one he had seen before, so he deliberately tried it, took another step forward, and almost stopped when he touched her body.
Shui Xi's right hand was lightly raised, and his fingers were like knives, and a soft and peaceful, non-aggressive energy was blocked between the two, light like a woman's hand, which made people feel like a glutton, and said: "Lang Jun, please stop!" ”
"The good is like water, and the good is beneficial to all things without fighting, so the world can not compete with it!" The look of surprise in Xu You's eyes could no longer be hidden, and he lost his voice and said: "What you made turned out to be really the Ruoshui Trick of the Heavenly Master Palace of Heming Mountain!" ”
"Shui Xi, don't be rude to Lang Jun! Retire! ”
"No!"
Shui Xi smiled at Xu Youyan, the momentum just now suddenly disappeared, his head lowered, and he retreated to the side.
"It's windy in the pavilion, Shichiro might as well get closer, and you and I can hear clearly."
Xu You slowly exhaled a breath and calmed down his mood, the successive accidents made him a little confused, and after a while, his expression returned to normal, and he walked to the place where the Qingya cloth barrier was within reach, and said in a deep voice: "Sanniang, who are you?" ”
"Oh? Shichiro asked this, but it made A-Yuan puzzled......"
"Since I don't understand, then I'll tell Sanniang one by one, if there is something wrong, please don't hesitate to correct it!"
Unexpectedly, Yuan Qingqi played with Laipi and said with a smile: "I don't listen, okay?" ”
Xu You choked and almost didn't come up, his voice couldn't help but rise a few degrees, and said, "No!" ”
"Okay, just listen to it, what are you doing so powerful?"
Xu You is a bit unbearable in life, fortunately, he is a human being in two lives, and he completely understands after only a moment of trance, this is Yuan Qingqi deliberately changing the topic, gags to fool the past, so he probably has come into contact with the truth.
"On the boat that came to Yixing to pick me up this time, there was a hundred generals named Deng Tao, who only seemed to have cultivation on the ninth grade on the surface, but he used a one-handed lance that was worth a lot of money, and even Feng Tong Feng, the chief steward who had always looked down on his subordinates, had a different attitude towards him than others. Later, I learned that this Deng Baijiang was actually a master of the six grades, and for some reason, he was willing to hide his strength and be a small Baijiang in the Yuan Mansion. ”
"If that's all, I wouldn't have any ideas, after all, there are many strange people and strange things in the world, and they have nothing to do with me, so I hang high. But in the face of the pressure of Feiyao's death, Deng Tao and I had an open and honest conversation. It was also this conversation that made me know that he had been ordered to investigate me, not once or twice, but in the period after I was married to you, as many as dozens of times back and forth between Yixing and Jinling, and secretly conducted a comprehensive investigation of me. ”
"I originally thought that the person who ordered him behind the scenes should be Yuan Gong, but when Deng Tao was mentioned in the mansion, Yuan Gong didn't even know that there was such a person. Besides, if it was an order from Duke Yuan, then I should also do an investigation into my conduct before I got married, so why not make up for it after I got married? ”
"So, I'm thinking that the mastermind behind the scenes is probably other people from the Yuan family, those who don't like our Xu family very much, don't like me very much, and are even less willing to let you marry into Yixing. They have this motive, as long as they find unforgivable evidence from my bad deeds, they can force Yuan Gong to stop this family business. In addition, they are the only ones who have this power, because a master like Deng Tao has a mysterious origin, and he cannot be assigned at will. ”
"Originally, I had already put this matter down, just waiting to leave Jinling, no matter who the person behind the scenes was, it had nothing to do with me. But it wasn't until today, just now, that you said that the information about me was three feet high, and I suddenly understood. ”
Xu You shook his head, with sincere admiration in his tone, and said, "It turns out that Deng Tao is your person!" ”
Yuan Qingqi was silent for a while before he said: "I have to say that Qilang is thoughtful, but it is unavoidable to be cautious to make a judgment just by relying on such a sentence. ”
"Three feet tall, Deng Tao also said, don't tell me, this is a coincidence?"
"It's just a metaphor, just like you said, my father naturally did relevant investigations before I got married, why didn't I see information about you from my father?"
"No!" Xu You said categorically: "Because Gong Yuan agreed to this family matter, but you may not agree, or you must not agree, I am afraid that he will not have time to hide this information, and it is impossible for you to look at it." ”
Yuan Qingqi chuckled and said, "Why should Qilang be humble, you are not me, how do you know that I must disagree?" ”
This is Zhuangzi's argument of "Zi Fei Yu An Zhi Yu Fun", Xu You will not be in the mood to talk nonsense with her, no, Qing Talk, and said with a smile: "I am neither too high in terms of myself, nor too underestimated in myself." People are valuable in self-knowledge, Sanniang is notorious, long and beautiful, the Ruyi Langjun in my heart will not be a Chu Man martial artist like me! ”
"Really?" Yuan Qingqi smiled, and said in his words: "But I look at Qilang, but he is more like a Xiuya scribe......"
Xu You's heart sank, the fact that his martial arts were all over is still a secret, unless it is at the level of a junior grandmaster or above who has entered the fifth grade, it is difficult for ordinary people to see what is wrong without him doing anything. Even if he is frivolous and his breath is weak now, in the eyes of others, it is only a symptom after the initial recovery from a serious injury, and he will not think about losing his martial arts at all.
Yuan Qingqi's words were just mentioned casually, or was her eyesight actually powerful enough to be comparable to the little grandmaster?
Xu You didn't want to dwell on this issue, and said: "Sanniang hasn't answered me yet, what I guessed is it, or isn't it?" ”
The wind blew from the river, and the green silk cloth barrier was whirring, it seemed to be the time of a cup of tea, and it seemed to be a quarter of an hour long, Yuan Qingqi said quietly: "Yes, Deng Tao is indeed my person!" ”
Although he guessed the truth, hearing Yuan Qingqi say it himself, Xu You still felt a little unbelievable. No matter how favored Yuan Qingqi is, in terms of identity, she is only one of Yuan Jie's many children, and when she is in the boudoir, the circle of friends determines that she and Deng Tao are people from two worlds at all.
The question is, how do the people of the two worlds connect together?
"Qilang must be wondering, why did Deng Tao listen to my orders? In fact, it doesn't matter if you tell you, the reason why Deng Tao entered the Yuan Mansion to be a hundred generals was because I instructed Feng Tong to arrange a position of a hundred generals for Deng Tao through Ye Xianzhi. and told Feng Tong not to tell anyone to know, even his father had concealed it. ”
Ye Xianzhi is the boss of this part of Yuan Jiefu, since Feng Tong knows the relationship between Deng Tao and Yuan Qingqi, with his virtue, it is no wonder that he will treat him differently.
"As for how I met Deng Tao, that's another story, and it has nothing to do with Qilang, presumably with Qilang's elegance, I don't have to force me to say it, right?"
Xu You smiled bitterly: "Blame me for realizing it later, compared to those elders of the Yuan family, you are the one who wants to investigate me clearly." Marriage is a big event, it should be like this, but since I have made it clear today, it will be over, and I am not interested in knowing the rest, and there is no need to know. ”
Yuan Qingqi said softly: "Whether Qilang believes it or not, let Deng Tao investigate you, I don't have a trace of malice, and I don't hesitate to marry or not." Now that my father has decided to marry the Xu family, I will not say anything against it again, and I will not try to stop this family affair by investigating your misdeeds. ”
Xu You is a little incomprehensible, so what are you sending Deng Tao to check on me? It's not a paparazzi...... But knowing that she wouldn't say, she didn't ask, and looked at Shui Xi out of the corner of her eye. If the water recipe is the secret of the Heavenly Master's Dao, except for the contemporary Heavenly Master Sun Guan who lives in the Heavenly Master Palace of Heming Mountain, and his seven descendant disciples, there should be no one else in the world who knows this technique.
"Where did you learn Shui Xi's Ruoshui Trick?" Xu You said suddenly.
Yuan Qingqi finally let out his first long sigh since the meeting, and said, "If I had known that Qilang was already smart enough to be able to see the Ruoshui trick she learned from Shui Xi's breath, I might not have chosen to come to see you at this time today!" ”
Being able to force this woman, who is extremely talented and mentally incomparable, to this point, Xu You felt quite complacent, and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm smart, but I encountered a bottleneck in practicing White Tiger Jin in my early years, and I was taken up by my ancestor to Heming Mountain, and I personally experienced the wonder of Ruoshui Jue." ”
"Ah, yes, I almost forgot this verse!" Yuan Qingqi muttered in annoyance, it was also a little bit of a little daughter's posture at this moment, and then his tone changed, and he said coldly: "Xu You, since you know this secret, today, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of this Fengxu Pavilion alive!" ”
