Chapter Twenty-Eight

Early the next morning, Sheng Lingyun ordered red dates and snow rice porridge to replenish Qiao Yiling's spirit. He estimated that Qiao Yiling was still sad for Ruoyan, and he was afraid that he didn't get up, but he didn't think that Qiao Yiling's door was open, and he was sitting at the table in a daze.

"Why do you wake up so early and don't sleep for a while?" Sheng Lingyun pushed the warm porridge in front of her, and saw that her complexion was slightly better than yesterday, and she was a lot more relieved.

Qiao Yiling retracted his thoughts and smiled at Sheng Lingyun, "I'm fine, Brother Sheng don't worry." ”

"Drink it while it's hot, you didn't eat last night, I'm afraid you're hungry."

Qiao Yiling obediently picked up a spoon and scooped porridge to drink.

Sheng Lingyun saw that she was really out of sadness, and he was happy for her.

It's not that Qiao Yiling no longer cares about Ruoyan, it's just that the truth is in front of her, and she has to face the truth if she doesn't want to accept it. Last night she woke up in a dream and thought about it for a night, there are still many places in life that are unavoidable, waiting for her to experience, and it is also because she is unfortunate and fortunate to be able to witness these stories with her own eyes, so that she can get a glimpse of the true meaning of one or two rivers and lakes, which is cruelty, forcing you to grow up and become strong.

Father and mother don't want her to set foot in the rivers and lakes, probably not to let her face the complex human heart, just hope that she can live innocently and freely for the rest of her life, but since she has chosen the opposite path, she must bravely bear all the accidents on the road.

"Since the charter wind is here with Nie Zhuang and them, why don't you see Brother Xu and Ziyan?" Qiao Yiling suddenly remembered that Xu Yunxi and the others didn't come over yesterday, could it be that they went to spy on the Golden Lotus Sect?

"They are guarding Yanyu Villa for Lord Nie Zhuang, and we will go back with Master Nie Zhuang and them to meet Yunxi." Although Sheng Lingyun still wanted to see how Yan Lan put down the flame knife fight, but the excitement was lively, and he had to listen to Jiang Xiaotian's orders, so he couldn't delay the business.

"Brother Sheng, what will Yanyu Villa do with Charter Feng and Ruolan and hand them over to the government?" Qiao Yiling knew that they would inevitably die, but this matter seemed to have nothing to do with the government from beginning to end, and no one mentioned reporting to the official to deal with it.

In her cognition, the world is royal, and as long as it violates the laws of the imperial court, it must be handed over to the government for disposal, but it seems that martial arts are always exceptional. The Golden Lotus Sect made such a big disturbance in Yanyu Villa, killing and injuring so many people, it was impossible for the government not to hear a little news, but it ignored it, which made her confused.

"Haha, silly girl." Sheng Lingyun smiled indulgently, "Let me ask you, the Golden Lotus Sect is rampant, and the government may do anything to them?"

Qiao Yiling shook his head.

"What is the best way for the government to subdue the Golden Lotus Sect now?" Sheng Lingyun asked again.

Qiao Yiling thought about it seriously and replied: "Now that the rivers and lakes Yanyu Villa is big, if the Golden Lotus Sect wants to unify the martial arts, it must get rid of the Yanyu Villa, and the Yanyu Villa is also the only force in the rivers and lakes that can compete with the Golden Lotus Sect."

"Yes, the Golden Lotus Sect and Yanyu Villa are black and white, since the imperial court wants to use Yanyu Villa to eradicate dissidents for them, then they naturally have to turn a blind eye to their own internal affairs and give them some rights to deal with!"

After Sheng Lingyun said this, he felt that he was not transparent enough, and continued: "You must know that the rivers and lakes are temples outside the imperial court, and the master of martial arts is the emperor of the world, which is why the Golden Lotus Sect has always wanted to dominate the martial arts. Moreover, there are more than 100 large and small sects in the rivers and lakes, with martial arts as the greatest, and the underworld green forests are clustered, and it is difficult to count the dead and wounded in the daily martial arts competition. So why not hand it over to the people in the rivers and lakes, they have their own justice, as long as the world is still peaceful, they can not act for a day. ”

"I see." Qiao Yiling was stunned when she heard this, and put down the spoon, "Will Yanyu Villa let Ruoyan see her aunt for the last time?" ”

Qiao Yiling still remembers that day Ruoyan asked her if the masked woman had ever killed someone, and she also swore that Ruoyan would hand over the murder to the government, so Ruoyan was already worried about her future fate at that time! Now it seems that if Yan can see his aunt again after entering the official mansion, he is afraid that he will be directly killed in Yanyu Villa, and from then on, his head will be in a different place, and his soul will return to his hometown is also delusional.

Sheng Lingyun knew that Qiao Yiling had to be sad about Ruoyan again, but there was no way, this was the cruelty of the rivers and lakes, he had never been loyal and righteous, and he had never been close to people.

"Girl, this is a sin created by herself, if you want to pity her, what does Flame Dao think? Their master didn't even have time to explain his last words, so he died, how could he be willing to say that he could still stage a scene of life and death. ”

Qiao Yiling lowered her head sullenly, why did she bother herself, pity a merciless murderer?

But Qiao Yiling still couldn't bear it, and wanted to go to see Ruoyan after breakfast, Sheng Lingyun stopped her, "Don't get too close to Ruoyan, I'm afraid that she will innocently affect you." ”

"Brother Sheng, if she can't say it, if she is so vicious, she can watch me die when I am scratched by the horse clover, and there is no need to save me."

Sheng Lingyun couldn't resist her, he also believed in the love between the two, but he was worried that Qiao Yiling was soft-hearted, if Ruoyan begged her to see her aunt, she was afraid that Qiao Yiling would do something stupid, and she refused to accompany Qiao Yiling, so she had to let her go.

However, it was obviously Sheng Lingyun who was too worried, Qiao Yiling relied on the face of Yanyu Villa to come to the prison, and when he saw her, he knew that he was with Sheng Lingyun, and stared coldly, Qiao Yiling only pretended not to see it, and walked straight to Ruoyan.

Ruoyan still buried her head as always, curled up in a ball, Qiao Yiling's nose was sour, and she called her through the door, "Ruoyan, it's my ......"

If the words are deaf to the ear.

Qiao Yiling called a few more times, but Ruoyan still ignored her.

Charter Feng sneered on the side, "Little girl, don't waste your efforts, she didn't dare to admit that she had done something wrong." ”

Qiao Yiling glanced at him, "Isn't she so thankful for you?" ”

"Hahaha...... Do you really think that's the truth? If I want Shen Shiyi to die, why bother so much, it's a pity that a group of you smart people don't know that you are Yan Lan's pawns! Seeing that this group of people were being played around by Yan Lan, he hated it in his heart.

Qiao Yiling didn't want to talk to him more, so he turned his head and stubbornly called Ruoyan, but Ruoyan still didn't care.

Qiao Yiling let go of his hands and gave up, lowering his head, "Ruoyan, I just came to tell you, I don't blame you, you have your hardships, I also have my position, I can't do anything for you, I'm sorry." ”

Ruoyan buried his head in his knees and sobbed lowly, still stubbornly not raising his head.

Qiao Yiling wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that there was someone in the corner of the cell, "Who!" Qiao Yiling let out a frightened sound, turned around and chased after him, and a figure flashed and disappeared.

Qiao Yiling stopped, walked two steps back, and said to Ruoyan from a distance: "Ruoyan, no matter what, you will always be my sister, and I will always remember you." Then he reluctantly left.

Qiao Yiling walked to the door of the cell, and the two disciples on guard stood upright on both sides, without any abnormality, "Who came to the cell just now?" Qiao Yiling asked tentatively.

"You're the only one, Miss Qiao." One of the disciples replied.

Qiao Yiling couldn't ask anything, so he simply left.

After going back, Sheng Lingyun was accompanying Nie Changnan and Yan Lan to send the heads of the various factions away, Qiao Yiling stood in the distance and watched the scene, Ling Su walked over, "Miss Qiao, are you still sad?"

Qiao Yiling didn't like him very much, and he didn't look back, "Don't be sad, it's you who should be sad." ”

"Oh, why?" Ling Su pretended not to know.

"Do you want to be the boss?" Qiao Yiling didn't want to waste words with him, so he simply asked.

"If I say yes, will Miss Joe help me?" Ling Su's face was filled with a hypocritical smile.

"What can I help you?" Qiao Yiling didn't answer the rhetorical question.

"Does Miss Qiao think that the charter wind is really the murderer?" It was Ling Su who eavesdropped on the cell just now, and he was only a little suspicious at first, but now he still bites his mouth and denies it, and he is sure that there is still an inside story, but he suffers from no evidence. He saw that Ruoyan would be moved by Qiao Yiling's two sentences, so he wanted to use Qiao Yiling to persuade Ruoyan.

"The evidence is all there, what doubts does Ling Gongzi have?" Qiao Yiling looked impatient.

"Miss Qiao went back and thought about it seriously, if the charter was really the murderer, why did he keep the evidence of poisoning, waiting for someone to arrest him?" After Ling Su finished speaking, he retreated, and Qiao Yiling stood in place gloomily, looking at Yan Lan's back and falling into deep thought.

After a long time, Sheng Lingyun came back after sending off the guests, and saw Qiao Yiling standing in place in a daze, waved his hand twice in front of her eyes to wake her up, and went back together.

"Miss Qiao, what's the matter, I heard Brother Sheng say that you went to see Ruoyan." Yan Lan asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"Well, yes, I've been with her for a few days, I'm quite happy, go see her, give her a ride, will Master Yan mind?" Qiao Yiling pretended to be sorry.

"Of course she will betray the grace of my flame knife and join forces with outsiders to harm my master, I can't wait to cut her with a thousand knives." Yan Lan gritted her teeth and said, "But Miss Qiao is a guest, and I can understand that she was blinded temporarily, but I hope it won't be an example." ”

Qiao Yiling didn't expect Yan Lan to be so direct, and she didn't save face, and she was a little dumbfounded.

Just when he walked to the fork in the road, Sheng Lingyun stopped, "Master Yan, Ling'er and I will go back to the room first." ”

Yan Lan said goodbye, and walked to the hall with his hands behind his back.

Sheng Lingyun put his hands on Qiao Yiling's shoulders and sighed, "You are like this, you have to find yourself unhappy, if you say something to you today, look at your restless appearance." ”

"She didn't say anything, and no one paid attention." Qiao Yiling lowered his head, turned around and continued to move forward, walking slowly.

"Why bother?" Sheng Lingyun followed behind her, looking at her lonely back, not knowing how to persuade her.

"Brother Sheng, did you say that Feng Feng is really the murderer?" Qiao Yiling also began to waver, I don't know why, she vaguely felt that Ruoyan was not a profitable person, and would not sell her personality for silver.

"The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, but the current evidence is like this, if Yan has also personally admitted that he was instructed by the charter, why should you be persistent." Sheng Lingyun was also a little unhappy, Qiao Yiling saw that his face was not good, thinking that he must have misunderstood that he was questioning them, and weakly said sorry, and said no more.

On the second day, in order to avoid more incidents, Yanyu Villa decided to take away the charter Feng and Ruoyan in advance, and originally planned to make a sacrifice to Shen Shiyi for him to rest in peace, but it was suddenly canceled. Ling Su and Xu You ran to ask Yan Lan what he meant, Yan Lan only said that it was the arrangement of the villa, and he was worried that the immortal capital would join forces with Jin Lian to rob people, so it would be good to take people to worship in front of the master's spiritual hall for a while.

Seeing this, Ling Su was anxious and had no countermeasures, Yan Lan ordered that no one could visit the prison without his permission, not even Ling Su could enter, let alone Qiao Yiling. What's more, Qiao Yiling has also changed his mind in the past two days, and he didn't take his words to heart at all, he was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot, spinning around.

After breakfast, everyone came to the mourning hall together, Yan Lan ordered someone to bring the charter Feng and Ruoyan, the two were tied hands, trapped for a few days, and lost most of their strength. When passing through the back garden, Ruoyan pretended to fall, hid something from the ground in his sleeve, and then came to the mourning hall.

The wind lost his momentum, his hair suddenly turned white, but his eyes were still sharp, and he stared at Yan Lan.

Yan Lan kicked him to his knees in front of Shen Shiyi's spirit card, "Today I want to avenge my master!" As he spoke, he kicked him twice.

Ruoyan trembled behind him.
