After Xiao Xinyi decocted the medicine, he watched the man on the bed take it before saying goodbye to the old woman and returning to Youxin House, while Hua Rujiang stayed in the small courtyard and waited for Leng Zhaolin to come back.

At that time, the sky had already darkened, and the shops on the street were all lit up, Xiao Xinyi walked on the street and looked at the lights of the ten thousand homes, but he didn't know where to go.

Pedestrians hurried by on the street, and no one looked at Xiao Xinyi, who was walking slowly in the night, because they all had their own homes, and when it was dark, there were still people waiting for them at home, after all, no matter how beautiful the scenery on the road was, it could not compare to a bowl of hot porridge on the table at home.

And Xiao Xinyi is the opposite, she used to have a family, but now she doesn't. Although there are people waiting for her somewhere now, it is just the scenery of her walking on the road, as time goes by, those who are waiting for her will also have their own home, such as Hu Guyue, such as Qin Youyou.

She did her best to ignore the figure that followed her, who would have her own home in the near future, and his wife, who had not yet passed the door, must now be standing at the door of the Grace House waiting for him to return.

In the vast world, within the five lakes / four seas, Xiao Xinyi actually felt that there was no place for her. The Holy Gate of Medicine is her master's sect, the place where she grew up, there are her masters, senior brothers and senior sisters, but her master is the master of the entire disciples of the Holy Gate of Medicine, and her senior brother and her senior sister also have their own homes. She was just a sight in their journey, fleeting.

Xiao Xinyi has never felt so helpless and lonely as he does now, even the moment he heard that Zhong Yuan got married, he was not as powerless as he is now. People are always lonely when they are lonely, and the more lonely they are, the more lonely they are.

There is a tavern in front, although the decoration is not shabby, the bursts of wine that can float out of it still make Xiao Xinyi stop and stand, although it is not as mellow as the burning fragrance of Yunliu, but it has a unique flavor. Xiao Xinyi raised his feet and entered the tavern, at this time there were only two or three guests in the tavern, drinking and discussing something excitedly, the tavern guy saw a woman who came in although she had a peerless grace but was unable to give up, and she didn't dare to slack off and greeted her and said, "Does the girl want to drink?" ”

Xiao Xinyi nodded and said, "Hit an altar and bring it back." ”

The tavern guy took the copper plate and quickly filled a jar for Xiao Xinyi.

When Xiao Xinyi walked out of the tavern, he saw Zhuge Qinghong waiting at the door, and then said to him: "Zhuge Gongzi, please go back, I know the way." ”

"Xin'er..."Zhuge Qinghong called her name in a low voice, but he didn't know what to say next, the county lord of Ningguo was close at hand, and it was futile to say anything now, only after the marriage contract was dissolved, he was qualified to say what he wanted to say.

Xiao Xinyi saw that he was silent, smiled slightly, turned around and strode away. Zhuge Qinghong looked at the poignant smile blooming in the dark night, both heartbroken and distressed.

Everything was silent, the moonlight was hazy, and when the moonlight sneaked into the clouds, the people in Youxinshe also turned off the lights and fell asleep, but there was a person sitting on the roof of Xiao Xinyi's house all night, and the breeze and the bright moon seemed to have abandoned him, only the bamboo leaves and heavy clouds outside the wall accompanied him.

Zhuge Qinghong gathered his internal strength all night just to hear the words of the people in the room, even if it was like she was chanting other people's names when she was drunk for the first time, at least she could let him know what she was thinking. But after a whole night, Xiao Xinyi drank a jar of wine and turned over and fell asleep, without saying a word of drunkenness.

It wasn't until the end of the day that Zhuge Qinghong quietly left, Zhuge Qinghong just fell into the courtyard of Qinghe Xiaozhu, Xiao Xinyi opened his eyes in the room, it was just a thin wine brewed by a roadside shop, how could it be compared with Yunliu's burning love, with her amount of alcohol, how could other wine in this world get drunk with her.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yu did not eat with them, and asked Ruan Niang to make a separate one and send it to her room, when Ruan Niang went in to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Xiao Xinyi was waiting for Li Yu to pass her outside the door, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Ruan Niang went out of the room for half an hour Li Yu remembered that there was a Xiao Xinyi outside the door, and then asked Zhixiang to summon her into the door, Leng Moyan, Hu Guyue, Lan Yun and Qin Youyou stood aside and watched angrily and distressed, this Ningguo County Lord was clearly deliberate. Fortunately, Xiao Xinyi came out soon after entering, and Li Yu did not embarrass her, which also made several people breathe a sigh of relief.

After Xiao Xinyi went out, he asked Hu Guyue: "Have you gone to Qinghe Xiaozhu to resign?" ”

"I've been there, but only Hua Gongzi is here, Zhuge Gongzi and the two seniors have gone out, and I have asked Hua Gongzi to tell Zhuge Gongzi."

"Okay, without further ado, let's go, Lan Yun, you will have to worry more about the affairs in this courtyard." Xiao Xinyi looked at Lan Yundao.

"Senior aunt, don't worry about doing your own thing, Lan Yun will definitely live up to the trust of my aunt." Lan Yun said and glanced at Li Yu's room.

"Okay, thank you." Then he said to Leng Moyan, Hu Guyue and Qin Youyou: "Let's leave immediately." ”

Lan Yun watched the four of them gallop at the door of the inn, and when they returned to the backyard, they hesitated for a long time at the door of Huating Pavilion, not knowing what they were thinking. Since Yun Jingzhu moved out of Huating Pavilion, no one has lived here.

Yongcheng and Yueyang are only a day's journey, the four of them arrived at Yueyang City before the sunset is gone, although it is the same city, but Yueyang is more than half smaller than Yongcheng, the road is not as wide as Yongcheng, and there are not many pedestrians in the depression of shops.

Hu Guyue dismounted and stopped an elderly man and asked, "May I ask this old man, where is the Meng Mansion where the birthday banquet for the old lady is going to be held in the near future." ”

The old man looked him up and down and said, "Are you here to congratulate Old Lady Meng on her birthday?" ”

Hu Guyue arched her hand and replied: "Exactly." ”

The old man stroked his beard under his chin and sighed: "You don't have to go, the Meng Mansion has a lawsuit and has canceled the birthday banquet." ”

Hu Guyue was a little stunned when she heard this, and she had a bad premonition in her heart, and asked, "What kind of lawsuit did you eat?" ”

The old man replied: "The three sons of Mengfu are all filial sons, the old lady loves to listen to music, every year on her birthday, the three sons will invite the opera troupe to sing for three days, and then two days will be the birthday of the old lady, but last night, the pear opera troupe that had just entered the house was all poisoned and died in Mengfu, and none of them were spared. Now that the Meng Mansion has been surrounded by troops sent by the government, all the men in the mansion have been put into prison, and the female dependents are also detained in the mansion and are not allowed to go out. ”

The old man sighed again after speaking. Hu Guyue's face changed after hearing this, and she arched her hand to the old man and said, "Thank you for your advice." Then he returned to Xiao Xinyi and repeated the matter.

Xiao Xinyi's face sank when he heard this: "It was we who harmed the pear opera troupe." Then he gently kicked off the belly of the horse, walked up to the old man and asked, "May I ask the old man, where is the Meng Mansion?" ”

The old man raised his feet and was about to leave, but was stopped by a high-headed white horse, looked up and saw a woman with a frosty face, pointed to the southeast direction with his hand and said: "Go straight, and see the house surrounded by officers and soldiers." ”

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he only heard the sound of horses' hooves and a word of thanks, and the white horse beauty in front of him had galloped away in the southeast direction, and then three horses followed. Xiao Xinyi saw from a distance that a mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and occasionally pedestrians walked here to take a detour.

Xiao Xinyi observed for a moment and said to the three of them: "It is not appropriate for us to appear in front of the officers and soldiers at this time, let's find an inn to stay in tonight and see what results the government can find." ”

The four of them turned their horses' heads around the city and chose the inn closest to Meng Mansion to stay. As soon as I entered the inn, I saw a familiar figure sitting in the hall of the inn, Zhuge Qinghong sitting on the upper seat, and two old men with crane hair and childish faces sitting next to him. One of the old men in Xuanyi was whispering something to Zhuge Qinghong, Zhuge Qinghong frowned and listened attentively, and he was not too surprised to see Xiao Xinyi and a few people coming in. It seems that Zhuge Qinghong came after getting the news of the death of the Licui Opera Troupe, although Xiao Xinyi has not seen the two old men, but Hu Guyue and Leng Moyan have seen them, Hu Guyue whispered beside Xiao Xinyi: "The one who spoke is the virtual hearing senior of Zhuge Villa, and the one next to him in Tsing Yi is the empty voice senior." ”

Xiao Xinyi calmed down, walked to the table, hugged his fists, and said: "Jiang Haitang, a disciple of the Junior Double Holy Gate, has seen the seniors of the empty voice, and has seen the seniors of the void hearing. ”

Empty sound and empty listening have been listening to Hua Rujiang's broken thoughts behind Zhuge Qinghong for the past two days, and they have all learned the thoughts of their eldest son, but they have never seen Jiang Haitang who made their eldest son fascinated, and now that she heard her report to her family, she naturally has to take a good look.

Although Zhuge Qinghong and Kongsheng are nominally the master and servant, they have always regarded them as relatives in their hearts, and now they look at the two elders around them with satisfied expressions, and they feel a little happy in their hearts, but they are a little disappointed when they see Xiao Xinyi without looking at him.

He stroked the beard that was long and stretched to his chest and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the high foot of the master of the medical saint Sima Sect, we have heard of it for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

Although the empty voice is not as kind and kind as the empty sound, it also nodded approvingly.

Xiao Xinyi's face remained unchanged and replied: "The two seniors have praised it falsely, my junior sister Leng Moyan was seriously injured a few days ago and was rescued by the seniors, and she has not thanked the two seniors in person. ”

The pampering is not shocked, and the empty voice and empty hearing are more satisfying.

Kong Sheng replied: "It's just doing what you can, Miss Leng was injured to save the splashy boy of the Hua family, and the boy of the Hua family has already thanked him." ”

Xiao Xinyi was stunned when she heard this, Leng Moyan never told her that she was injured because of Hua Rujiang. He replied immediately: "Fellow martial artists should help each other and support each other." ”

Hearing this, Kong Sheng smiled and said: "Okay, the master of Sima Gate has taught well, and there are successors to the Double Holy Gate." ”

After some politeness, a few people got acquainted, Hu Guyue wanted to book a room for a few people, but was told by Zhuge Qinghong that a room had been booked for the four of them. In the blink of an eye, it was time for dinner, and the inn had many guests one after another, and the hall was no longer suitable for conversation, so several people went to the empty room to discuss the matter of the pear opera troupe.

At present, the government has concluded that the mushroom was killed by mistake, and the uneaten mushroom was found in the stove of the pear opera troupe, and the undigested mushroom residue was also dissected in the corpse. If nothing else is found, the people of the Meng Mansion can clear the suspicion and release all of them, and notify the family to retrieve the body.

But a few people here knew that things were not so simple, and they only had plans to investigate the pear opera troupe yesterday, and there was no one alive in the opera troupe at night, which was too coincidental.

However, the government did not find any other evidence that it was a murder. It is even more unlikely that the people of the Meng Mansion will kill people in their own mansion on the occasion of the old lady's birthday. It all seemed like an accident.
