After bidding farewell to Andinghou and Zhou Wenbin the next day, Xi Yuanxiu and the three of them set foot on the way home.

But it's not Chang'an, it's Scoop City.

Because it takes half a month to change the people in Yangzhou officialdom.

Chang'an has to appoint a new prefect of Yangzhou after getting the news in recent days, so it must take a month to wait before and after.

Since I am ready to put a big game of chess in Chang'an, it is a little inconvenient to live in Guangxing Building.

Andinghou seemed to be afraid that what happened the night before would happen again, so he specially sent fifty tiger guards to go back with these three people.

It's just that I don't know if I'm really protecting Xi Yuanxiu, or watching his every move.

However, Xi Yuanxiu didn't take this matter to heart, the mirage was so powerful, he had never found the red tide, let alone a group of horsemen with brute strength.

Liu Xiao was holding the scarf that the girl had given him last night, and he couldn't help but stick his head out of the carriage and look at the place where he slept last night.

Xi Yuanxiu looked at Liu Xiao's look of not marrying her, and said: "Didn't you tell Xu about Yangzhou Skinny Horse last night, why do you seem to be emotionally attracted to that girl today, besides, I saw that girl in the morning, and it is similar to the girl in Xinghuayuan!" ”

Liu Xiao stuffed the incense towel into his arms and replied: "It's almost the same, according to what you said, last night, the building was almost the same as the Xinghua Courtyard!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu carefully recalled the structural style in the building last night, and it was really the same, almost identical.

"Presumably, most of the Qinglou under the rule of Yangzhou are almost the same!"

Xi Yuanxiu pretended to be clear and said.

Liu Xiao could see that Xi Yuanxiu didn't know how to pretend to understand, but he didn't say it directly, just snorted softly.

In the silence of the three of them, the carriage slowly drove out of Yangzhou and headed towards Huangcheng.

On the way, when passing by a fruit stall sold by an old woman on the side of the road, Liu Xiao clamored to eat some fruit to relieve his fatigue, and Xi Yuanxiu actually took the initiative to give him some silver taels.

After Liu Xiao got out of the car with joy, Xi Yuanxiu said to Xu, who was wiping the sword body: "It seems that the ninth girl's misunderstanding of me is getting deeper and deeper!" ”

Xu Lai ignored him and continued the movements in his hands.

"When I knew that the ninth girl had been to Scoop City, I knew where Xue Luping's 100,000 taels of silver ticket came from!"

Xu Lai paused, but still didn't speak.

Xi Yuanxiu continued: "You still don't plan to explain it to her, or are you ashamed to speak." ”

Xu Lai stopped wiping his sword hand and said slowly: "There are some things, there is no need to say more, I will give you an explanation for Ah Jiu's matter." ”

After speaking, he got out of the carriage, which startled Liu Xiao, who was bargaining with the old woman underground, and thought that Xu Lai was going to rob him alive.

But Xu Lai led a horse directly from a tiger guard, got on the horse, and then ran towards Yangzhou.

Xu Lai knew that Ren Yu was still in Yangzhou, and he didn't know where to find her, so he simply went back to Yangzhou City to wait for her.

In Liu Xiao's shouts, Xu Lai gradually drifted away.

At this time, Xi Yuanxiu, who lifted the curtain, saw Xu Lai walking away, and said to the old woman, "Why don't we talk!" ”

......

......

At a tea stall on the side of the road, Xi Yuanxiu sat opposite the old woman.

"How did you recognize me?"

The old woman's voice was soft and moving, and it did not match her appearance at all.

"How can the ninth girl be like an ordinary woman, naturally easy to recognize!"

It turned out that this old woman was Ren Yu after the disguise, and she didn't think that Xu Lai wanted to find someone, and she was close at hand.

Ren Yu snorted disdainfully and said, "Mr. Xi's oily tone has to be changed, but I still want to know, how did you see me?" ”

Xi Yuanxiu chewed the overnight tea leaves, looked at Ren Yu seriously and said, "Nine girls, why don't you give me a reason to hire a murderer first!" ”

Ren Yu habitually put on the hat, took off the skin of the disguise, put it in her arms, and looked at the person in front of her who disgusted her through the white veil.

"I don't like you, a person who doesn't know the truth, I don't like the things you let him do now, you are making him step by step towards the abyss of no return."

Xi Yuanxiu made an inexplicable expression, and spit the chewed tea leaves aside.

Ren Yu looked at Xi Yuanxiu and continued: "You mean, don't you know? ”

Xi Yuanxiu waved his hand and said, "No, I mean, it's not that I don't know, but I never forced or lured him to do anything, these are what he wants to do." ”

Ren Yu didn't believe his words, and slowly carried the internal breath in his hands.

"Now that you and I are only separated by a table, I want to kill you, it's as easy as a snap, so I advise you to tell the truth!"

Xi Yuanxiu said with a smile: "If the ninth girl doesn't believe it, she can find another opportunity and ask him face to face, why bother me as a weak scholar?" ”

Ren Yu also replied with a smile: "Xi Gongzi, a scholar, actually holds a sword but not a pen, what kind of scholar is it!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu sneered a little embarrassedly, let go of the hand on the soft sword on his waist, and instead picked up the bowl on the table and took a sip of herbal tea.

"Does the ninth girl really think that Xu Lai is doing it casually?"

Ren Yu didn't understand Xi Yuanxiu's words, obviously he asked Xu Lai to work with him back then, Xu Lai was young and promised.

But now what he meant was that Xu Lai didn't do it on the spur of the moment.

Xi Yuanxiu didn't make a detour, and said directly: "Nanshan Great Disciple, but asking about the things in the sect, didn't it give your Ren family a chance to breathe in Nanzhao!" ”

After Ren Aonan was seriously injured and went into retreat, the Ren family did not accept it.

The juniors of the Ren family are all lazy, and they don't have what a martial arts family should look like.

The only one who stands out is Ren Yu.

But Ren Yu, as a woman, compared with Nanshan, naturally made the people of the rivers and lakes laugh at the Ren family even more.

On the other hand, in the Nanshan Sect, in the younger generation, except for Xu Lai, the rest of the disciples also seem to have more momentum.

But after Xu Lai left, except for his junior disciple, the rest of the disciples were actually just mediocre people.

Ren Yu was thoughtful, and Xi Yuanxiu continued: "Actually, have you ever thought that if the two of us are really unfortunate enough to face Dajing now, then you don't have to marry into the Nanzhao royal family!" ”

Ren Yu was stunned for a moment, and through the white veil, she could also see her daze expression.

How did she know that in fact, before saving Xu Lai that night, Xu Lai had already known that she was going to marry into the Nanzhao royal family.

She understood what Xi Yuanxiu meant, just like she said to Xu yesterday, if it doesn't work, she will lose the entire Nanshan!

Ren Yu said in disbelief: "How could he do such a thing for me!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu looked at the woman in front of him and said calmly: "How could he not, but how could we fail!" ”
