23. Admonishment

The two caravans stopped in a forest.

The people from the Momen who came to Xiaoxiang with Shen Qiu, as well as a few guys from the Li family's caravan, scattered around, and everyone was extremely vigilant.

This is the sphere of influence of the Xiaoxiang Sword Gate, after the fierce battle last night, although the traces were cleaned up overnight, no one knows whether those people in the Sword Gate will send people to chase and kill again.

Lin Huiyin was the only person in the convoy who knew about it, she was taken off the carriage by Shen Qiu, and among the woods surrounded by several cars, the rest of the people were waiting for her.

Li Yijian sat on a horse tie, and the young man with a strap on his body looked at the pale Xiaoxiang woman with a gaze that was definitely not friendly.

He played with the ancient sword that Lin Huiyin carried with him.

"Say it, Woman."

Shen Qiu leaned against the tree next to him, clasped his hands on his shoulders, and glanced at Xiao Tie, who was holding an iron rod, who silently moved a step, sealing the space where Lin Huiyin might escape.

"Who are you? Why was he hunted down by his peers? ”

Shen Qiu asked:

"Also, what the hell is going on in your division?"

"Give me my sword first!"

Lin Huiyin was quite weak, she couldn't even stand up, but she still made a request, she said:

"The Xiaoxiang Echo Sword is the treasure of my master's sect, and it must not fall into the hands of others."

Shen Qiu hooked his hand at the bald young man, and the latter threw the sheathed ancient sword over, which was taken by Shen Qiu in his hand.

He held the sword in his left hand and refused very bluntly:

"I saw your swordsmanship last night, Lin Nuxia, and you are making a dangerous request, no matter how weak a tiger is, it is too risky for us to return the sword to you.

You answer the question first. ”

Shen Qiu said coldly:

"It's kind of an explanation for us!"

Lin Huiyin was angry for a while, but she couldn't refute it, everyone in front of her did suffer because of her, although she didn't want to implicate the innocent.

She took a deep breath to calm her mind, and then said to the people in front of her:

"My name is Lin Huiyin, I am the head disciple of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect, and my master Lin Yundong is one of the top ten masters of decency, and I am also the first swordsman in the land of these two lakes."

"The girl is modest."

Li Yijian said in a weird way:

"'Xiaoxiang Absolute Sword' is like a thunderous name, we people in the rivers and lakes have heard of it, where is the first swordsmanship of the two lakes.

Haven't you people in the sword sect always preached that Lin Yundong was the best in the world in swordsmanship? The head of the family is a disciple, hehe, what a big background, such a great majesty. ”

In the face of Li Yijian's ridicule, Lin Huiyin's face remained unchanged, and she said in a calm tone:

"My master never said that, and she told me that there are many people in this world who are more skilled than her swordsmanship. In addition, Shaoxia has an opinion about me, and I accept it, but please don't insult my master! ”

"Yijian, let her continue."

Shen Qiu glanced at the indignant bald young man, and he said:

"Don't let the big disciples of the family see our jokes."

Li Yijian pursed his lips and said no more.

Lin Huiyin immediately understood that Shen Qiu was the real backbone of this team, so she looked at Shen Qiu and continued:

"A month ago, my master and a few uncles occasionally suffered from a cold, at first we thought it was just an ordinary cold, but after half a month, the master and everyone were seriously ill, not only could not speak, but even their bodies became extremely weak.

For the sake of stability in the door, this matter has been concealed, but I secretly investigated, but found that the master was not seriously ill, but poisoned. ”

Lin Huiyin clenched her fists, the woman gritted her silver teeth, and she said in a sad tone:

"I was anxious, so I told my senior brother about this, that is, my master's eldest disciple, Lin Lang, the senior brother of the Sword Gate. He pretended to appease, but secretly set up an ambush.

Five days ago, he lied to me that he had found a way to detoxify and led me to the mountain behind the master's gate. ”

She briefly talked about her experience, looked up at Shen Qiu again, and said:

"I don't mean to involve you in my sect's affairs, I'm too injured and in dire need of herbal treatment. I apologize for the trouble I have caused. ”

She covered her abdomen and bowed to the person in front of her, this action implicated the wound, making her face more and more pale, and the down-and-out woman gasped a few times, and said:

"Please also ask Shaoxia to return the echo sword to me, if I, Lin Huiyin, can survive, I will be grateful in the future."

"Why did your senior brother kill your master?"

The young girl couldn't help but ask:

"Is it just to take the position of the head of the house?

Your senior brother Lin Lang is also at the top of the list, he is very famous in the rivers and lakes, and he is also the senior brother of the Sword Gate, you just need to wait patiently, the position of the head of the Xiaoxiang Sword Gate will be his. ”

This question made Shen Qiu bow slightly.

Qingqing asked the point.

Lin Huiyin's statement sounded fine at first glance, but it didn't explain the reason why her senior brother killed her master.

This Jianghu decency especially emphasizes respecting teachers, paying attention to being a teacher for one day and a father for life.

When the news of Lin Lang's murder of his master and betrayal of his master spread, he would be ruined in an instant.

It is impossible for a promising and decent disciple to do such crazy acts casually, and those things that Lin Huiyin concealed are the really important determining factors in the infighting of this sect.

"Lin Nuxia, you are really dishonest."

Shen Qiu was holding the Xiaoxiang Echo Sword, and he said in a cold voice:

"Do you really think that we have never seen the world and don't defend the world? I'll wait for An to know if you poisoned your master, and as a result, you were hunted down and killed by people in the sect, and blamed your senior brother? ”

"Shut up!"

Shen Qiu's malicious speculation made the heroine's blood surge, she was so angry that her body trembled, like a willow, she raised her finger and said sharply:

"I was adopted by my master since I was a child, and I am like a mother and daughter, how could I do such a thing as a son of man in vain!"

"Then make it clear! Don't hide it. ”

Shen Qiu also accentuated his voice, he said:

"We have been implicated by you, killing the people of the Sword Gate, it is like falling into troubled waters, stained with cause and effect, and cannot be cleaned, now you and I are in the same boat, if you want me to believe you, don't hide it anymore!"

"Brother Shen Qiu is right!"

Li Yijian also stood up, holding his knife, and said loudly:

"We are not young people in the rivers and lakes, we know that people are unpredictable, if you don't make it clear, when the people in the Sword Gate come again, I will hand you over!"

The scolding of the two made Lin Huiyin purse her lips.

She wanted to think about the reputation of her teacher and hide the past, which was not a glorious thing after all.

After a few breaths, Lin Huiyin sighed, and she said:

"You don't have to worry, Lin Lang's henchmen, just this Lu Kun and his entourage, although there are many people, their martial arts are low.

And although the master is poisoned and can't speak, the master is not chaotic, the rules of the body are still there, and the people he can bewitch are limited after all, and in a short time, no one will come to chase and kill you again.

As for why my brother did such crazy things, alas... Probably because Master favored me, it made Senior Brother jealous. ”

She looked at the sword in Shen Qiu's hand, and she whispered softly:

"This Xiaoxiang Echo Sword is a token of the master, and after the master was poisoned, he gave me this sword."

"I see."

Shen Qiu immediately understood.

According to Lin Huiyin, the head of the Sword Sect wanted her to act as the head of the sect.

But according to tradition, this job should have been done by her senior brother.

In other words, even if her master is not poisoned, when Lin Yundong is old, it will not be the eldest disciple Lin Lang who will take over as the head of Xiaoxiang in the future, but the more favored second disciple Lin Huiyin.

No wonder Lin Lang wants to kill his junior sister, all because the master is unfair and has a preference.

"I have no intention of competing with my senior brother for the position of the head of the family."

Lin Huiyin said in a complicated tone:

"If I had known that he valued the position of head so much, I would have quit early.

He hid things in his heart, and over time, it became an obsession, and it also affected the master. When he ambushed me, he told me the truth, but I didn't know that he hated me and Master to such an extent.

Even at the expense of colluding with the Demon Sect, he wanted to take the position of the leader. ”

"Demon Cult again?"

Shen Qiu narrowed his eyes, and he said:

"Is it the Five Elements Gate?"

"It's not."

Lin Huiyin sighed, she said:

"It's the Seven Peerless Sects, and the Western Regions Demon Sect has a rudder in Changsha.

This thing is the ghost they made behind the scenes, when my senior brother ambushed me, there were also seven peerless people who swept the formation, but they underestimated the power of this Xiaoxiang echo sword, which made me desperately break through.

The poison that was placed in the tea that the master drank every day should also be a demon cult. ”

Lin Nuxia no longer hid it, she said everything she guessed and knew in one go:

"A master who can make my master's cultivation can't detect it in half a month, and he is so weak that such a ruthless and domineering poison is definitely not something that ordinary poison masters can equip.

If my thinking is correct, that poison should come from another Demon Sect, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect above the Snowy Realm. ”

After she finished guessing, she said to Shen Qiu, who was frowning:

"That's all there is to it, I have nothing to hide, and I ask Shaoxia to return the Echo Sword to me, and I will rush to find a doctor who can detoxify.

As long as my master is detoxified, no matter how many means my senior brother has, he will no longer be able to master cholera. ”

She said:

"As long as the master is stable, I will speak for you, and this misunderstanding can be resolved.

As for you, Li Shaoxia, your Li family pharmacy will not have a bad relationship with my sword sect in the future, and I will guarantee it with my life! ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Shen Qiu, this group of people were all young people, and it was difficult to make a decision in a short period of time in the face of such a major event, so they instinctively hoped that Shen Qiu would make a decision.

And Shen Qiu didn't answer immediately.

He thought for a moment, then threw the Xiaoxiang Echo Sword in his hand back to Lin Huiyin, and said:

"That's it, Lin Nuxia, I'll wait here, and I wish you all the best in your operation to rescue Master.

Qingqing, take Lin Nuxia to our car, prepare some dry food and drinking water for her, and bring a few sticks of medicine, forget it, send a horse to her. ”

Shen Qiu waved his hand, Qingqing answered, and helped Lin Huiyin to the carriage.

After she walked away, Shen Qiu turned around and said to the bald boy behind her:

"Yijian, there is a chance that she will not be able to do this, don't entangle with her too much, and don't trust her promises."

"You take your caravan to withdraw from the two lakes as quickly as possible, and go back to Luoyang, your family's business here will also be withdrawn, and even those medicinal materials are not necessary!

I'm worried that the people in the Sword Gate will come quickly, and you won't be able to handle it. ”

"What about you? Brother Shen Qiu. ”

Li Yijian nodded, he didn't ask the reason, but asked:

"What are you going to do with the young girl?"

"Naturally, this dart will not be delivered."

Shen Qiu replied helplessly:

"Killing someone on someone else's territory, it's almost impossible to hide the past, if Lin Lang controls the Xiaoxiang Sword Gate, the land of these two lakes, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to step into it in the future.

But for now, it's better to save your life, let everyone rest for a while, have a hot meal, and then set off to leave. ”

On the other side, Qingqing rummaged through some dry food and water in her carriage, and Lin Huiyin stood by the carriage and waited, in all fairness, Qingqing girl had a good sense of Lin Huiyin.

This is a real woman, alas.

The martial arts are strong, heroic, and beautiful, which is completely the future template of Qingqing's ideal.

In her fantasy about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, she also wanted to go to the end of the world with a sword.

It's a pity that the senior brother doesn't seem to like this Lin Huiyin woman, and his words are like sending the plague god away, and he hurriedly sends her away.

"Lin Nuxia, this package contains three days' worth of drinking water and some dry food, as well as dried meat and flint."

A moment later, Qingqing jumped out of the carriage with a baggage.

She saw Lin Huiyin being by the carriage, reaching out to stroke a few pieces of brocade, which were the darts in the box that were broken by those swordsmen during the scuffle last night.

The little junior sister handed the burden to Lin Huiyin, and she said:

"There's a horse over there, just ride away."

"Thank you, young girl."

Lin Huiyin took the burden, she carried it on her back, and thanked Qingqing very decently, and when she was about to leave, the weak woman turned around, and she asked Qingqing:

"I just heard from you that you and your senior brother are going to Changsha with a dart?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

Qingqing raised her head and asked rhetorically, Lin Huiyin pursed her lips, she looked at Shen Qiu not far away, she seemed to have made a decision, and said to Qingqing:

"Please also ask the girl to find your senior brother, don't alarm the others, I have something to say to him."

Qingqing glanced at Lin Huiyin suspiciously, the latter smiled at her, signaling that she had no malicious intent, the little junior sister ran over, and after a while, she returned to the carriage with an expressionless Shen Qiu.

"What's the matter with the woman?"

Shen Qiu said:

"If you don't hurry up and get on the road, you will be chased and you will be able to get out. I don't think there are so many caravans left for you to defend yourself from disasters along the way. ”

This sarcasm made Lin Huiyin's face blush, but she didn't refute it, but asked:

"Shen Shaoxia, are you going to deliver to Changsha?"

"Call me Shen Qiu."

Shen Qiu nodded, and then said:

"Any questions?"

"Don't go!"

Lin Huiyin pointed to the brocade scattered on the side of the carriage and whispered:

"There's something wrong with this cargo.

Changsha should be a trap set for you. ”
