"Where's your dagger?" Lu Jingxing inadvertently glanced at her wrist, his face changed, the dagger that she never left was gone, and he was very worried that she had an accident outside.

"Something went wrong." Ling Xiao said.

"Sit down and talk slowly." Lu Jingxing didn't want to ask her what had happened for more than an hour, but now he had to ask.

"I accidentally entered a casino, and then ransomed a woman out, and the dagger was mortgaged there, and I was ready to get it back when I had the silver." Ling Xiao said it succinctly, she didn't want to tell him, but since he asked, he didn't hide it anymore.

"Who did the dagger go to?" Half of the casinos in Huizhou City are Wanjian Pavilion, on the one hand, to seek money, on the other hand, to hide people's eyes and ears, collect and sell all kinds of information and secrets, Lu Jingxing is worried that she has entered the casino of Wanjian Pavilion.

"A man called just in case." Ling Xiao said.

"What if?" Lu Jingxing is afraid of something.

"You know him?" Ling Xiao asked.

"Wan Jian Pavilion Pavilion. This person is extremely deep and difficult to fathom. "Among the rivers and lakes, in case of Qi's great name, I am afraid that no one does not know, first-class masters, intelligence networks are all over Dongzhou, and even the handle of the court officials cannot escape the hands of their Wan Jian Pavilion. It's just that Lu Jingxing didn't know why he came to Huizhou

。

"It turns out that he is a person from Wanjian Pavilion, and Lu Ci told me about Wanjian Pavilion." Ling Xiao remembered that Lu Ci had told her about some Jianghu forces that night.

"I'll help you get it back. How much money did the woman ransom? Lu Jingxing saw that she had never taken the dagger out of her hand, and knew that it meant a lot to her.

"I caused this on my own, and I want to handle it myself, and it's not a big deal." Ling Xiao said.

"Well, just say as much silver as you want, and I'll borrow you." In Ling Xiao's life, I am afraid that no one knows her character better than Lu Jingxing, not before, and not many years later.

"One hundred taels." Ling Xiao was not pretentious, and said a number very simply.

"Okay, I'll tell someone to prepare." One hundred taels is nothing to Lu Jingxing.

"I'm going to redeem it in a few days, I don't want to go out again these days. This dagger was a gift from my third brother, and I don't want to lose it, but I don't want to run into that person again. This time, Ling Xiao explained very clearly.

"Do as you say." Lu Jingxing nodded and said. He didn't know what the relationship between Ling Xiao and Yan Lingzhan was, but he wouldn't ask about it.

An hour after Ling Xiao came back, Lu Ci also returned.

When Ling Xiao saw him come in, he asked, "How is it?" ”

"Her mother's old illness was caused by long-term beatings, and she needs to recuperate slowly." Lu Ci sat down and said.

"Assaulted?" Ling Xiao couldn't believe his ears.

"Zidi told me that her father was an alcoholic and gambler, and would beat them up when he was drunk or lost a gamble." Lu Ci said with anger on his face.

"I see." Ling Xiao listened very calmly, she already knew all the things in the world.

"Should I say that you are a bodhisattva? Or is it the reincarnation of Yama? Lu Ci, who was still angry just now, has changed into a playful smile at this moment.

"What's wrong?" Lu Jingxing said three words lightly.

"Zidi tell me......" As soon as Lu Ci said a few words, Ling Xiao's eyes made him swallow the words back in his mouth.

"Nothing." Lu Ci rolled his eyes and said. He was just straightforward and quick-talking, and he still understood Ling Xiao's eyes immediately.

Since Ling Xiao came to this world, his means of doing things have converged a lot. "I just got into a fight with two villains." Ling Xiao said very easily.

"Zidi begged me to teach her to practice medicine and martial arts." Lu Ci has a purple flute on the left and a purple flute on the right, you must know that the name of the woman in their world can only be called by people who are familiar with her, so Ling Xiao couldn't help but tease her: "In just one hour, you are so familiar with her?" ”

"Why bother with these subtleties." Lu Ciman didn't care.

"Mansion master, I want her to go to the medical management to do things, and by the way, she can study medicine." Lu Ci asked for the opinion of Lu Jingxing.

"People were saved by Ling Xiao, you ask Ling Xiao." Lu Jingxing said.

"It's up to you, she wants to practice martial arts, and you can teach her when you have time." Ling Xiao felt that since she had saved that purple flute, it would not hurt to do a little more.

"I don't need to say this, I'll do it too." Lu Ci is warm-hearted, and he is most interested in this kind of thing.

"Nothing else, I'll go back to the yard first." Ling Xiao was also tired and wanted to go back and rest.

"Wait for me, I'll go out with you." Ling Xiao walked a few steps, Lu Ci said, and then got up and went out with her.

Qiu Ju in the afternoon sun seemed to be more dazzling, Ling Xiao walked in the corridor, the air was full of Qiu Ju's slightly bitter fragrance, Lu Ci saw that there was already a distance from the study, and then said: "Zi Di told me all the things that happened in the casino, I really didn't expect you."

That's amazing. Not only does Zidi admire you, but I also admire you. The man deserved it if he broke his finger, but how about you teach me how to roll the dice someday? ”

"I don't want Lu Jingxing to know about this. There's such a boring dice roll, you still don't learn it well, I don't want to teach a gambler. Ling Xiao gave him a roll of his eyes.

"Then why did you learn this?" Lu Ci asked.

"I had no choice but to do so." Ling Xiao sighed softly after speaking. Lu Ci was a joke, and he didn't plan to really learn, but now that he saw her like this, he had to shut up.

A crescent moon hung quietly on a treetop in the distance, the night breeze in September was slightly cool, Ling Xiao was still the same as last time, sitting on the bluestone on the top of the mountain, the difference was that this time it was her. The fallen leaves fluttered in the night wind, and the branches made their last goodbyes, they were so reluctant, but but

And there is no escaping the laws of nature. Ling Xiao looked at the stars in the sky, perhaps because there was no full moon tonight, so the stars were particularly dazzling. Occasionally, one or two dead leaves fell on her body, in her hair, and she didn't pay attention to it, her thoughts were no longer on these at the moment, she didn't

Ming's sarcastic smile: "It's so funny! A few months have passed, and you still don't forget to look for me, is my chess piece so important? It's worth your effort. ”

Lu Jingxing stood not far behind her, listening to her wry smile, looking at her melancholy, and the words she muttered to herself naturally reached his ears with the wind. He pondered for a moment, then turned away.

A few days later, in the afternoon, the sky was raining, and Ling Xiao walked out of the Lu Mansion with an oil-paper umbrella, followed by two people carrying wooden boxes, and the wooden boxes contained no more than one hundred taels of silver.

When she stepped into the casino again, the people inside were very polite to her, and welcomed her into the room that day with a smile on their faces.

Pushing the door in, I saw that Qi was sitting there elegantly drinking tea, and the evil face smiled lightly at Ling Xiao, like a poppy that can sweep people into the abyss. It is often the beauty of evil that makes people sink more easily, just like the mandala, even if you know that it is poisonous, you still want to get closer.

Ling Xiao walked over as usual: "One hundred taels of silver is here, and the bracelet can be returned to me." ”

In case Qi added a cup of tea to Ling Xiao, he said to himself: "Miss Yunhou Mansion, the princess of the Central Plains Kingdom, the princess of the six princes who have not passed the door." Born with a pampered body, at the age of eight with the eldest sister went to the country of North Vietnam, at the age of fifteen wandered the rivers and lakes. Shall I call you the princess of sorrow? Or Miss Ling? I'm here

I've been waiting for you for days. ”

"You Wan Jian Pavilion is really powerful, and you have found out my life experience clearly in just a few days." A hint of surprise flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes, but his words remained calm.

"I thought you were the one I was looking for, but it didn't." In case Qi said.

"Is there anyone in the world you can't find?" Ling Xiao smiled, the court had been looking for her for several months without news, and in case Qi investigated her so clearly in a few days, if Qi couldn't find anyone, she really didn't believe it.

"Of course." The autumn rain was beating on the edge of the window, and the smoke was curling in the house, and the tone of Qi was affirmative.

"I don't want my identity to be known to anyone else, especially the imperial court." Ling Xiao's eyes were like knives, staring at Wan Yiqi and said.

"Don't worry, Lu Jingxing doesn't know about these things of yours, and this is not something I need to take care of." In case of putting the bracelet on the table. In case Qi knew that Ling Xiao lived in the Lu Mansion, Ling Xiao would not be surprised.

"Then take your leave." Ling Xiao put the bracelet on his wrist and got up.

"Carry the money back, and come to me if you have something." In case Qi's voice sounded behind Ling Xiao.

"I don't like to owe anyone what is rightfully yours, what is yours is yours. Also, thank you for your kindness. After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he went out.

In case Qi took out a multicolored feather from his arms and looked at it for a long time: "Qi Yu, where are you?" I will find you in this life. "Shen Chu is his real name in case of Qi, but people in the rivers and lakes don't know it.

Upstairs is unusually quiet, downstairs is still noisy, obviously the same casino, but it seems to be two worlds, Ling Xiao admires the sound insulation measures, and modern can be compared.

Walking out of the casino, the rain and fog outside were hazy, Ling Xiao held up an umbrella and walked in the rain, and vaguely saw a lonely figure in the rain in front of him, holding a plain umbrella, and smiling at her. She didn't know how long Lu Jingxing had been waiting for her, so she quickened her pace and headed towards him.

"Why are you here?" The two people in the rain curtain stood facing each other, looking at each other and smiling, and Ling Xiao's voice seemed a little hazy in the autumn rain.

"By the way." Lu Jingxing said two words, turned around and walked forward side by side with Ling Xiao.

In case Qi watched the actions of the two through the carved window, he actually smiled, and smiled without malice.

"Do you want to go to Ning Yan's for tea?" Lu Jingxing looked sideways at Ling Xiao, who was walking slowly in the rain.

"Okay." Ling Xiao nodded, letting the drizzle fall into his dress with a drizzle in the wind.

There are pedestrians on the street, and only the two of them can walk comfortably in the wind and rain.
