Chapter Seventy-Three: The Beginning
Less than half a foot away from them, the horse was strangled and stopped, its front hooves still rising in mid-air, as if dissatisfied with its master's rudeness, and then let out several loud neighing of protest.
When the young man saw Fang Chi, he grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth: "Senior brother, what are you doing standing here?" ”
Fang Chi frowned, and scolded: "It's so big, it's still so reckless, I almost collided with the distinguished guest, why don't you get off the horse and apologize!" ”
The young man followed his gaze and moved his gaze to Bai Ling, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: "What a beautiful sister!" Qin Guihua, a disciple of the Sea Gate, has seen his sister! I didn't scare you just now! ”
Bai Ling smiled slightly: "It's okay!" ”
Fang Chi looked at Qin Quhua, and his eyes lit up: "Senior Brother Qin, you have spent more time in the mountains than me, do you know if there is a disciple named Stone in the gang?" ”
"Stones?" Qin Quhua glanced at Bai Ling vigilantly, and when he saw that she didn't look like a villain, he sighed, "I do know a young person named Stone, but he disappeared mysteriously five years ago!" ”
Five years ago? It was the year she died! He should be good! Could it be that that year, he also encountered an accident?
At that moment, Bai Ling's mind turned ten million possibilities, and she couldn't help but panic, she grabbed Qin Quhua's arm and asked eagerly, "Do you recognize him?" Do you remember what he looked like? Do you know his name and ancestry? ”
Qin Quhua was a little surprised by her actions, he glanced at his senior brother, and saw that the other party motioned for him to continue, Fang nodded lightly: "I had the best relationship with him before, so naturally I remember!" ”
Seeing this, Fang Chi understood that most of this person was the one she was looking for, and said with a smile: "White girl, congratulations on the progress of things." This is not the place to talk, don't worry, let's go back to the room and talk slowly, how about it? ”
Bai Ling came back to her senses, and when she saw the disciple guarding the door, she was looking at this side curiously, she let go of Qin Quhua's arm and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper!" ”
Several people returned to their rooms.
After several exchanges, soon things went through and there were some eyebrows.
It turned out that the person Bai Ling was looking for turned out to be Ke Mu, a genius boy who was once famous in the Zhen faction, and Fang Chi had several relationships with him, but he didn't know that his young name was Shishi.
Five years ago, Ke Mu suddenly disappeared, as if he had evaporated from the world. For this reason, the head of the family, who once regarded him as a key training object, was furious and sent someone to the address he left to inquire, but in the end, it seemed that the address was not detailed enough and he did not find it to no avail.
His close friend Qin Quhua was even more worried about this, he recalled: "At that time, his martial arts were extremely high, and he was not deeply involved in the world and had no enemies, so it stands to reason that no one should want to harm him!" Before he disappeared, he had happily told me that his sister had promised to come to see him in the mountains! ”
Bai Ling suddenly had a bad premonition, maybe Ke Mu's disappearance was really inseparable from what happened to her back then, she asked in a trembling voice, "Did he see his sister?" ”
Qin Quhua shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be." I remember very well that he had been very excited for a few days, and suddenly, one day he looked worried. I happened to have something at home, and I was taken home for a few days, and when I returned to the mountains, I heard that he was gone! ”
Qin Quhua has always felt guilty about the disappearance of his friend, and he feels that if he hadn't left in those few days, maybe nothing like this would have happened.
He hasn't given up all these years, and every time he goes out to run errands, he will ask around, hoping to get news from his former friends.
Therefore, when I heard that someone was also looking for him, I was so surprised.
Before dusk, the disciple who was sent to the study to check the scroll walked in with an encrypted booklet in his hand: "Back to the master, Ke Mu's information back then has been found!" ”
Fang Chi motioned for him to hand it to Bai Ling.
Bai Ling hurriedly opened it, only to see that it was written.
Ke Mu, a native of the border city, his parents died, and he still has a sister, after checking his identity, he was innocent, and from a certain year, a certain month, he apprenticed to Fu Zhan, the grandmaster of the sea gate, and officially became a disciple!
Her eyes were fixed on the word "border city", and she thought about it, was the place where she was killed was a family in the border city?
The next day, she was standing on the streets of the border city.
There's not a little bit of familiarity here, is it five years that has completely changed everything?
If time can change the appearance and make people temporarily dust their memories, then the temptation of matter and the greed of human beings are enough to turn against the new and return the old, remove dust and dirt, re-turn the past hidden under the dust, and open the floodgates of memory!
Dozens of days later, under the heavy money, the hired spy soon came to the news that on the summer night five years ago, the only thing that happened was the queen mother's maiden home, the old residence of Guofu!
In the year of the fire, Guofu had been relocated to a new house, so the fire did not cause casualties or property damage except for burning down a few abandoned old houses.
In this way, most of the old people who set the fire in the dream should be Master Guo, so the few grandmothers who committed the murder are the people of Guo's mansion? Who is behind the scenes? It's her? And for what purpose?
Bai Ling looked at the familiar ruins of the broken wall in front of him and sneered.
Caused by wildfires, no casualties!
I don't know where her younger brother Ke Mu noticed the abnormality and chose to leave Lingshan.
Has he been here before, has he learned the truth about his sister's murder, and has he escaped?
Or is it long gone?
Everything about Ke Mu seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no matter how hard she tried, there was no clue to be found.
As time passed, her flame of hope became weaker and weaker, and her heart became cold.
A half-withered locust tree by the wall actually sprouted buds and opened a few bunches of white flowers.
Bai Ling looked at the flower string, and a face that always had a bright smile appeared in her mind.
It's the Queen Mother! This made her a little impetuous.
She was angry, and tore off the pitiful bunches of flowers on the branches.
Dowager! It's the Queen Mother again! She's everywhere!
Puzzled, she snapped off a few new branches.
can't complain, she has an inexplicable hostility towards the Queen Mother, this should be a woman's sixth sense!
She had already decided in her heart that King Ding was the person who was that night!
It's just that he drank ** at the time, so he has no impression of her, I'm afraid he doesn't even know that he has an extra child in this world!
Dingwang, Queen Mother!
Going around and around, the problem seems to be back to the original two!
Bai Ling has a headache, the people in the Guo Mansion have all been disbanded with the departure of the Guo family's father and daughter, where should I start first?
In Cining Palace, Xiaoguo was also in a dilemma and had a headache.
She stared at the hosta in her hand and sighed a few times.
Just now, Bi Tao took the hosta to her, saying that Xiao Yu asked her to send it, and said that Xiao Yu had returned to the palace on an errand!
When Xiaoguo almost saw him as a person who only existed in his dreams, he returned to her real life!
Xiaoguo is a little resistant, and a little expectant, see him, or not?
Xiaoguo casually put the hosta in her hair, pinched the flowers in the vase, and began to tear the petals piece by piece: "See, don't see, see ......"
In the blink of an eye, only the last petal remained: "Gone!" ”
She let out a long breath.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on the vase again, a delicate flower, and she was murdered again: "See, don't see ......"
"Oh, oh no," she sighed exaggeratedly, but her face bloomed with joy, "it's 'see'!" Providence is like this, then there is no way, who made me a person who obeys the will of Heaven! ”
Patting the pollen on her hands, she hummed a song, walked to the mirror, and looked at the hosta on her head.
"People's gifts have been delivered, gifts are still exchanged, Xiaoguo, you have to prepare something!"
Xiaoguo said to himself and nodded matter-of-factly.
"Good! Then I'll treat him to barbecue! Let's marinate the meat! ”
Learning from the palace people, he rushed to the people in the mirror, and hit a thousand children, Xiaoguo laughed twice, and jumped to the kitchen.
In the dead of night, Xiaoguo began to move.
With a large package on her back and another in her hand (containing oiled skewers and utensils), she struggled to move her steps out of the kitchen.
A tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
She was so frightened that she almost screamed: "Xiaoyu? Oops, it scared the hell out of me! You don't want to show up like that all of a sudden, okay? ”
Xiaoguo patted his beating heart, and unceremoniously stuffed the package in his hand into his hand: "You came just in time, come, help take it!" ”
It wasn't until the barbecue was on the barbed wire that there was a "sizzling" oil splashing sound that Xiaoguo did something wrong.
She looked at the person next to her suspiciously, and he was silently looking at herself with a smile on his lips.
"How do you know that I'm in Cining Palace?"
Li Yi was a little helpless, shouldn't you have discovered this earlier?
Without thinking, he said seemingly casually: "I heard that there is a palace maid in Cining Palace, who went to inquire about me twice in three days, and guessed that you sent it!" ”
Great, he doesn't know who I am!
"I see!" Xiaoguo patted his chest and said reassuringly.
Seeing this, Li Yi lowered his eyes silently, hiding the smile in his eyes.
Xiaoguo poured a glass of juice, took a few more skewers of grilled meat skewers, and handed them to him: "Come, try Xiaoguo's secret skewers!" ”
Seeing his eating appearance, Xiaoguo was a little dissatisfied: "Alas, watching you eat, you can't feel the wonderful taste of food at all!" ”
She rolled up her sleeves, took a skewer of roast in each hand, opened the bow left and right, sprinkled a layer of chili powder, and chewed a few bites, the spicy taste and delicious meat aroma made her squint her eyes happily: "It's delicious!" ”
After taking two bites of the food in her mouth, she added a few pieces of homemade charcoal to the fire, put a few bunches of vegetables on the net, brushed the oil and sauce, and finished it in one go.
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing when you are sent out by the old fox of King Ding?" Xiaoguo kept busy with his hands, and he didn't forget to ask with a gossip on his face.
Li Yizheng took a sip of juice and almost choked when he heard it.
What did he become a fox?
With a soft voice, he said slowly: "It's just business." ”
