The night breeze blows, blowing the tide on the lake, and the atmosphere under the gazebo is a little cold.

The dark moon leaned against the sky, scattering gray light and draping it on the two of them, reflecting Qi Chuwei's face darkly and uncertainly.

"Although Liang Zheng is my righteous son, the old man treats him as his own child, and even in my heart, he is heavier than Liangyun. He commanded the Eagle Guard, shared a lot of heavy responsibilities for the Queen Mother and the Qi family, and he was inseparable from my Qi family. ”

Ying Zhichu held the cooler teacup and whispered, "I know." ”

Qi Chuwei glanced at her, and his face turned into kindness.

"You're a smart kid, you know what I mean. If you want, I can accept you as a righteous daughter, so that you can survive in Jinjia City with a new identity, and no one in Yudu will dare to bully you from now on. ”

Righteous daughter?

Ying Zhichu raised his eyes to look at the elder, but under his majestic gaze, the hesitation in his heart seemed insignificant.

"Why did you take me as a righteous daughter?" Her eyes were full of puzzlement.

Qi Chuwei stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "The Liang family...... Whether you want to admit it or not, it's gone. And you, kid, won't give up, will you? ”

Ying Zhichu's lips were slightly raised, and his little face was full of firmness.

"Yes, the grievances and innocence of my Liang family, I must get it back with my own hands."

Qi Chuwei was not surprised by her answer, but just shook his head.

"The child is not afraid that you will be sad, so the old man said bluntly, even if you spend your whole life, you can't do this."

Ying Zhichu pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Well, my strength is weak, and it is difficult for me to find the real culprit behind the scenes for the Liang family, but I shouldn't give up without even trying, this is not my Liang family's style." ”

"I know that Liang Renxu can't teach a loser. If you want to be in my name, you can do whatever you want, and no one will stop you, do you dare to believe me? ”

He didn't beat around the bush, but spoke bluntly, but only in this way did Ying Weaving not make up his mind.

The elder was not joking, if she nodded and agreed, she would really have something to do with the Qi family.

But if you don't agree......

Qi Chuwei picked up the teapot and lightly discharged a cup of green tea, without the intention of urging her.

"I ...... Why are you willing to protect me? Ying Zhichu asked softly.

Qi Chuwei looked at her, his cloudy eyes were full of deep meaning, "Child, what do you say?" If I want to kill you, I have 10,000 reasons, and even because of the incident on the night of Tanabata in Qingliu County two years ago, I can provoke you. ”

Ying Zhichu's fingers trembled slightly, and his face turned pale instantly.

It turned out that Uncle Qi Guo also knew what happened back then.

Qi Chuwei didn't mention the old things anymore, leaving only one sentence.

"You can think about it and answer me tomorrow."

“……”

The moon was half obscured by dark clouds, and the night dew was even heavier.

The girl's figure gradually disappeared into the night mist, and Qi Chuwei was still sitting upright under the pavilion.

"Sir, it's late at night." The old servant, Uncle Ge, came out of the green bushes and bowed his head.

"It's okay."

"Master, why didn't you mention the list just now?"

Qi Chuwei glanced at the old servant, this guy has been with him for thirty years, and he can understand his thoughts best.

"This child is still young, and if I ask the list deeply, I will harm her. She must not know that if the Liang Mansion could be investigated back then, too many officials would be involved, and that would be the real terrible! ”

"Yes."

……

Ying Zhichu didn't sleep well all night, until the sky was bright, and he had sleepiness, and he slept until the third pole of the sun.

When she woke up, Sheng Guang had already spread a large patch of gold in the house along the window paper.

She rubbed her eyes and walked to the bronze mirror, just in time to see the faint black marks under her eyes.

His fingers subconsciously went to get the comb, and he happened to touch the next object, and he paid attention to it and found that it was the picture scroll brought back last night, and it was still well placed on the dresser.

"I forgot about it......"

After a brief freshening up, she went out with the scroll in her arms.

When I went back to the room last night, I was so confused that I forgot to give Qi Liangzheng a painting.

When I walked out of the inner courtyard, I happened to bump into the oncoming snow pair.

"Xueshuang, your second son, are you up?"

Xue Shuang sighed lightly and wondered: "Second son? He went out early in the morning, saying that there was something important in the Silver Whip Pavilion. Girl, is there anything wrong with you? ”

"Well, I have something urgent to find him...... Xueshuang, do you know where the Silver Whip Pavilion is? ”

When Xue Shuang heard this, he was startled and hurriedly waved his hand.

"Girl, no, you can't go to that place, it will scare people to death."

"Xueshuang, if you are afraid, tell me the place, I'll go by myself, I really want to find him."

Xueshuang's white little face hung in embarrassment, and she didn't know what to do.

Ying Zhichu's face was calm, waiting for the maid to reply.

"Okay, slave take you." Xueshuang nodded helplessly.

"Thank you, Snow Shuang." The girl smiled back.

Xueshuang instructed someone to prepare a carriage, and waited until Ying Zhichu entered the carriage before giving a look to the doorman and signaling him to report the matter to Uncle Qi Guo.

The maid sat beside the girl casually and asked, "Girl, can't you wait for the second son to come back and talk about anything urgent?" ”

Ying Zhichu only smiled lightly, "Anyway, it's your second son's pleasure when he hears it." ”

Xue Shuang responded lightly, but his heart was inexplicably confused.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the Silver Whip Pavilion.

The girl was helped out of the carriage, and at a glance she saw several eagle guards standing outside the door.

They all wore silver eagle guard suits, wore silver masks on their faces, and their indifferent aura rejected people thousands of miles away, but it really seemed that Qi Liangzheng could train them.

Xueshuang took out the Qifu waist card, and after the eagle guard saw it, he let the two of them pass.

Ying Zhichu followed him and silently entered the pavilion.

The construction of the Silver Whip Pavilion is magnificent, and it is really no less than the Qi Mansion.

Ying Zhichu swept slightly, and saw rows of silver plaques of "Hidden Weapon Room", "Wen Xinling" and "Pigeon Room".

She just wanted to step forward, but was grabbed by Xueshuang's wrist.

"Girl, no." Xue Shuang shook his head and explained, "There are countless mechanisms in the Silver Whip Pavilion, so you can't break into them rashly. ”

Ying Zhi looked at the floor when he first heard this, and sure enough, under the refraction of the light, different patterns faintly appeared on the floor, which seemed to be scratched on the rice paper.

"Xueshuang, how do we get in?"

"The organs in the cabinet are all controlled by the confidential room, and we are uninvited, so we can only make trouble. Girl, you're going to do a little trick, right? ”

Ying Zhichu nodded, "A little bit of understanding." ”

"Well, follow me across this realm, and you can follow me."

"Okay."

After receiving the girl's reply, Xue's hands shook, and her body rose like fluttering, and flew towards the towering attic in the farthest distance.

Ying Zhichu looked at Xue Shuang's light and delicate figure, and smacked his tongue: "Qi Liang is fighting for the people around him, it is really hidden. ”

She tapped her toes, and she flew up and chased after the maid Yuanying.

After half a cup of tea, the two of them landed downstairs under the silver whip.

Looking at the house that flew by, Ying Zhichu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

If she had come alone, the consequences would have been dire.

"Girl, you see that this silver whip tower is nine stories high, and it is here that the adults interrogate prisoners." When Xue Shuang said this, his face was full of pride and respect.

Ying Zhichu also looked at this silver tall building, and under its solemn appearance, he smelled the slightest trace of blood and filth.
