According to his own habits, Chu Qingruo chose the entrance of the cave on the far left and walked in. Fu Lingyun took the torch from her hand and walked in front of her.

Contrary to the previous caves, which became shorter and shorter, the road here is wider and wider.

The two were standing at the crossroads of the cave, discussing which way to go, when suddenly there was a neat row of steps in front of them.

Fu Lingyun hurriedly pulled her over and hid in a corner, holding her breath.

One step, two steps, three steps......

The footsteps were getting closer, and when they came to the corner where they were hiding, they went in the other direction. Such a neat pace can only be issued by the army.

Where the hell is this? Fu Lingyun couldn't help but be a little puzzled, took her hand and whispered, "It's dangerous here, let's go back!" Surprised that his tone was a little strong, he softened his voice and added, "Okay?" ”

"What about you?" Chu Qingruo couldn't help but ask eagerly when he heard him say the word danger.

"Together."

The two of them returned to the hole where they fell, quietly waiting for Lian Feng and their rescue. Fu Lingyun lit a bonfire, and the two leaned against the fire, sitting facing each other.

After being silent for a long time, Chu Qingruo couldn't hold back a little. "Little brother, how did you come here?"

"Passing by."

"Then why are you passing through here?"

“……”

After asking a few words, Chu Qingruo, who had been tired for a day, lowered his head little by little and dozed off like a chicken pecking rice.

Fu Lingyun, who was almost overwhelmed by the question, breathed a sigh of relief, doted on his coat and spread it on the ground, turned around and gently picked her up, and put it on the paved clothes.

After a funny glance at the sleeping little pig-like face, he stood up and retreated a few steps away from her, pranayama cross-legged.

The sky outside the cave gradually began to brighten, and a noise woke up the sleeping Chu Qingruo.

"Quick, put the rope down!"

"Put, put, put a little more."

"Huh?! There's a hole here! ”

After a burst of exclamations came from the cliff, he saw a person suddenly rolling in from the entrance of the cave, Fu Lingyun immediately stood up vigilantly, and easily protected Chu Qingruo behind him.

The two looked at the passer, and it turned out that it was Xu Yong who rolled in.

After Xu Yong swung along the rope into the cave, he let go of the rope and fell to the ground, his body rolled on the ground several times in a row, and it was only after rolling to Chu Qingruo's feet that he stabilized his body.

When I looked up and saw that she was looking down at him with wide eyes, I couldn't help but be surprised: "Miss Chu, young general!" Great, you're all right, you're all in a hurry! ”

Fu Lingyun nodded slightly to him: "We have nothing to do." ”

Xu Yong walked to the entrance of the cave and pulled the rope, shouting at it: "I found them!" They're fine, put two more ropes down! ”

Soon two more ropes were lowered from above. Chu Qingruo and Fu Lingyun each tied ropes and were pulled up. When they reached the top of the cliff, Lian Feng and Yi Qing surrounded them.

Lian Feng was so excited that he was a little incoherent: "Chu ...... Master, it's great that you're okay. ”

Chu Qingruo smiled.

Yi Qing breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, she was safe.

"There's a situation in the cave." Fu Lingyun lowered his head and untied the rope around his waist and whispered to Xu Yong and Lian Feng.

"Then the villain and Uncle Xu will go down and investigate?" Lian Feng said as he watched his young master's reaction.

Alas...... The young master is good at everything, but he is silent and unrestrained, so that Ma Yue can win the favor of Miss Chu in the Year of the Monkey......

"Okay!" Fu Lingyun threw down the rope in his hand and turned his head to look at Chu Qingruo.

Lian Feng and Xu Yong went down to the cave again, crawled with torches to the entrance of the cave where he fell, and jumped in.

Chu Qingruo saw that Fu Lingyun had arranged for Uncle Xu and Lian Feng to go down to the cave again to check the situation, so he knew that he couldn't leave for the time being, so he found a shade and sat down with Yi Qing.

"Brother Changyun, I see that the group of black-clothed people last night wanted to kill you, if it was just to prevent us from sending the letter, then you have already delivered the letter, and there is no point in chasing and killing us again, who are they?

You are a mere cloth, why do you want to hunt you down? ”

Yi Qing was a little stunned, her mind was delicate, she looked at the faint floating clouds in the sky, sighed and said hatefully: "This group of people in black must be the dead soldiers sent by the old thief of King Jinyang to kill people and kill people. ”

Hearing his expression and tone like this, Chu Qing expected that what he was going to say must be those things above the court. She didn't know much about the court, so it was inconvenient to interject, so she listened silently to what he said.

"I am a close friend of the former gold list, and his father has been an official in the court for many years, although he is not upright, but he is also honest and honest, and there is no party or faction.

The old thief had entrusted a lobbyist many times, and persuaded his father three times and twice to be a handsome man and take refuge in him, but his father politely resigned.

At that time, the old thief saw that I was a good friend and a champion, and he couldn't wait to win him over. Send 10,000 taels of gold, and promise him that after the deed is completed, one person will be under and ten thousand people will be above.

I think that my best friend is loyal, father and son two generations of champions, how can I saddle up with that thief.

It was also my best friend who had a different temperament from his father, so he ordered the old thief's lobbyist to be beaten out, and he was brought to His Majesty the Emperor.

Unexpectedly, the old thief was so clever that His Majesty had no evidence to help him. My best friend has completely offended the old thief because of this.

Not long after, their family was framed by the old thief, and more than 20 members of the family died in prison.

Before he died, he handed over some old thieves' incriminating evidence to me, hoping that one day I would redress his grievances, return him to the name of a martyr, eradicate the old thief, and be loyal to the country.

Unexpectedly, someone in prison actually reported to the old thief that he had entrusted him with the evidence of his deathbed and my affairs, and when the old thief learned that these incriminating evidence was in my hands, he tried to deal with me again and again, so that he was in danger today. ”

Of course, there was another reason for being hunted down, but it was not yet possible to tell her.

After listening to him, Chu Qingruo was silent.

There are so many people in this world who claim to be high, but how many can really refuse categorically under the temptation of yellow and white things? Even if there are a few who can refuse, it is only a temptation chip that is not enough.

A man like his best friend, ten thousand taels of gold, is untouched by one person. If you don't really have the backbone, then you want more, and if you want to be above the ten thousand people, then you won't refuse the thief's invitation.

Closer to that position, wouldn't it be easier to touch, why would he refuse, wouldn't he?

Thinking of this, Chu Qingruo was in awe of his best friend, he was really a high-spirited person.

Looking at Yi Qing again, he is not afraid of danger, taking such a big risk to save the evidence of the old thief for his friends, hoping to avenge his best friend one day.

I really can't see that under his gentle and humble gentleman's skin, he has such a strong iron bone and righteous spirit, which is really admirable.

Chu Qingruo couldn't help but show him a smile of admiration and admiration.

Yi Qing saw her smile, and also raised a smile, gentle as water.

Looking at the flower-like smile in front of him, a green coat gently fluttering in the breeze, I felt that in an instant, there was nothing else in heaven and earth that could compete with the woman in front of me.

For a moment, an incredible thought suddenly occurred to him, and he felt as if his heart was beating just for her, and it didn't belong to him anymore.

Fu Lingyun saw Chu Qingruo and Yi Qing sitting in the shade of a tree and talking happily from a distance, although she was embarrassed, her eyebrows and eyes were moving, and her demeanor was still the same, like a beautiful scenery in the mountains and forests.

It's just that the white clothes next to him are very eye-catching!

couldn't help but hurriedly and quietly threw a stone over, hitting the calf of Yi Qing, who was sitting facing him, interrupting their "eyebrow flirtation".

Yi Qing glared angrily, Fu Lingyun gave him a cold eye knife, but it provoked Yi Qing to smile softly at him, stand up and walk towards him.

covered the faces of the two with a fan, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Yun'er is fine, the foolish brother is really relieved!" ”

Fu Lingyun gritted his teeth hatefully. "Hugh is nonsense!"

Yi Qing raised his face and said fearlessly: "Since Yun'er doesn't like it, then the foolish brother will no longer call Yun'er Yun'er in the future." Yun'er, don't be angry, you will be angry and hurt your body~"

“……”

Compared with Yi Qing, Fu Lingyun was unusually clumsy. He couldn't help frowning, and suddenly felt that his fist was a little itchy, and he raised it and shook it in front of Yi Qing.

Seeing this, Yi Qing put away the fan and walked to Chu Qingruo's side with a quick step. "Aunt Chu............"

Before the word "mother" could be spoken, Fu Lingyun quickly put away his fists, recovered the face that was not close to the living, and let out a cold voice from his nasal cavity: "Hmph!" ”

raised a smug smile and silently replied to him with satisfaction. "Take!"

Chu Qingruo asked curiously, "You two know each other?" ”

Fu Lingyun and Yi Qing sneered, turned their heads to the side, and said in unison: "Who knows him!" (I don't know!) ）”

Chu Qingruo: "......"

*

Returning to Qingshui County, everyone saw that the yamen was full of frustration and sadness, Chu Qingruo pulled Uncle Li and asked quietly, only to know that the grandson who complained was still poisoned by the county lord of Jinyang after all.

Everyone felt very sad and blamed themselves. Chu Qingruo was also devastated when he heard this, and after returning home, he fell seriously ill and closed his door.

Chu Qingruo either went to the school or the yamen every day, and when he got home, he locked himself in the house and practiced calligraphy and painting diligently every day.

But every time I picked up the pen and looked at the paper in front of me, I couldn't help but think of the poor grandfather and grandson who fell in front of their carriage. In just a few days, how can people say that it is gone?

Is this Jinyang County Lord really so lawless, no one can cure it?

In the evening, Uncle Li came back from the Yamen and brought condolences from Chen Xianling and his colleagues in the Yamen to Chu Qingruo, who was recuperating at home.

Everyone learned that Master Chu, who copied the case records in the yamen, turned out to be a girl. In addition to being surprised, they all admired her talent and courage.

At the same time, she also got a different look from Chen County's order, so she still made an exception to let her do the work of case records in the yamen, but she couldn't be a master anymore.
