Lin Ruo's face was a little ugly.

Leng Shu thought that Lin Ruo cared about Tang Biao's departure from the Tang Sect, and explained: "The poison doctor was framed by the Tang Sect and expelled from the Tang family. He hated the Tang Sect to the core, otherwise, his father-in-law would not ......"

"If Bai Que wants you to kill me, will you do it?"

Lin Ruo interrupted Leng Shu's words, and his clear eyes rarely showed such a sharp gaze.

"What?"

Leng Shu was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Lin Ruo to ask this question.

"Bai Que wants you to kill me, can you do it?"

Leng Shu was silent for a moment, then looked at Lin Ruo firmly and said, "No." ”

"Then what if I let you kill Bai Que?"

Leng Yi's face twitched slightly, and all these small details fell into Lin Ruo's eyes.

"Not really, will it?"

Lin Ruo squinted his eyes and stared at Leng Shu.

Leng Shu immediately knelt on one knee, his back tensed extremely tightly: "I promised the third master, I should do what I say, and Miss Hu is thoughtful." Even if the young lady asked me to kill the pavilion master, I would never say anything. But the deputy cabinet master...... My father-in-law was dying, so I swore a poisonous oath that I would never hurt the deputy pavilion master. ”

After a long silence, Lin Ruo finally said quietly: "What else did you promise your father-in-law?" ”

Leng Shu lowered his head, motionless, as if hesitating.

"Can't you say it too?"

"Lord Wang."

These brainless words made Lin Ruo confused, and subconsciously asked, "What?" ”

"My father-in-law also asked me not to hurt Lord Rong."

"Why?"

"Miss forgiveness."

There is no forgiveness for sins, and no other explanation.

In the small green courtyard, there was silence again.

Lin Ruo suddenly felt for a moment that she was too confident in herself. At the beginning, you should have listened to Su Muyu's words, and don't leave Leng Shu by your side.

But it was only for a moment, and then, she recalled Leng Shu's words and deeds when facing Murong Chong, as well as his intersection with Wuyi, Zidian, Qingshuang and others, and carefully sorted it out before she determined the credibility of this cold-faced guard - if he found a reason to justify, she really didn't believe him.

After a long time, Lin Ruocai asked faintly: "You came to Bian'an, in addition to Ye Ling's entrustment, there is also your father-in-law's entrustment, right?" ”

"Yes."

"It has something to do with the prince and Bai Que?"

"It's only about the prince."

Lin Ruo's hands clenched, and he asked in a deep voice: "You must answer the next three questions I ask truthfully, otherwise...... Forget it, it's just you and me here, it's easy for you to kill me, I can't threaten you at all. ”

Leng Shu raised his head, looked at Lin Ruo, and said, "Miss, excuse me." ”

Lin Ruo took a deep breath: "First, has your father-in-law's entrustment been completed?" ”

"No, I didn't. But it will not endanger the young lady and the prince. ”

"Second, Bai Que, Wang Ye, me, who do you listen to in the end?"

"In addition to endangering the safety of the deputy pavilion master and the prince, let the young lady order."

"Third," Lin Ruo paused, the first two answers had already proved Leng Shu's loyalty, leaving only the last question, "What else can you say?" ”

It's not about what you want to say, it's about what you "can".

With a word difference, he handed over the choice to Leng Shu and held the decision in his own hands.

Leng Shu's face became even more cold and resolute, and he thought about it for a long time before he spoke, and said solemnly: "The true identity of the deputy pavilion master, my father-in-law has not told me, but there is no doubt that he should be the son of the clan. If one day, the deputy pavilion master and the prince are opposed, I will follow my father-in-law's instructions before his death, and protect the prince desperately. ”

Streamlining these clues from what he could say, Leng Shu believed that with Lin Ruo's intelligence, it would not be difficult to guess one or two of them. He is a killer, but he was also taught by his father-in-law to abide by his faith since he was a child.

His father-in-law treats him with the grace of nurturing, Ye Ling has the grace of saving his life, Bai Que has the grace of letting him go, and Lin Ruo has the grace of knowing him. It is said that killers are ruthless, but ruthlessness does not mean trustlessness.

This was what his stepfather taught him.

Therefore, the promises he made were kept as promises as he preached.

Lin Ruo twisted her eyebrows and thought deeply, she was guessing the identity of Leng Shu's father-in-law, pondering Bai Que's true identity, and also deliberating on the identity of the Nine Star Old Pavilion Master.

While she was guessing, she suddenly remembered another thing.

"Not long ago, the pavilion master sent someone to ask me to take a jade pendant from the palace."

Lin Ruo temporarily retracted his thoughts, confused: "Jade pendant? What jade pendant? ”

"It is said that it is on Miss, it is a piece of Xiuyu jade pendant."

Xiuyu jade pendant?!

Lin Ruo stood up with a "pout", looking excited: "You say, the Nine Star Pavilion Lord asked you to come and get my Xiuyu jade pendant?" Why did he want this jade pendant? How did he know about this piece of Xiuyu jade pendant! ”

Leng Shu looked at Lin Ruo's somewhat out-of-control expression, looked at her eyes that were red from excitement, and shook her head frankly: "I don't know." ”

Lin Ruo's slender body trembled slightly in the wind.

The jade pendant that does not belong to Gu Manxi, but is exactly the same as that that belongs to Gu Manxi, has finally been found! How could she not be excited!

"I want to see the Pavilion Master of the Nine Stars!"

Lin Ruo said this sentence almost impulsively without hesitation.

Leng Shu looked at Lin Ruo's appearance and hesitated to ask Li Yan to come over. But just when he hesitated, Lin Ruo grabbed his shoulder, stared at him with red eyes, and repeated again: "I want to see the Pavilion Master of the Nine Stars!" ”

"However, the pavilion master is not coming to Bian'an......"

The Pavilion Master just asked Lu Ming to pass the word to him, and he didn't know the whereabouts of the Pavilion Master.

"He's coming! is in Bian'an, with Bai Que, yes, he is with Bai Que! ”

Lin Ruo said firmly, Wuzi let go of Leng Shu's shoulders, and walked out of the small courtyard with some distraction, and while walking, he also called the housekeeper Zhong Ping, wanting him to arrange.

Unexpectedly, before Zhong Ping appeared, Li Yan came first, and happened to see Lin Ruo's dejected appearance.

"Aruo, Aruo! What happened to you? ”

Lin Ruo clutched Li Yan's sleeve tightly and said excitedly: "Brother Huaijin, I, I'm going to find Bai Que, you help me arrange the carriage, I'm going to go now!" ”

Of course, Li Yan couldn't let Lin Ruohu, who didn't look normal, drag her and coax her back to the small courtyard, and asked as he walked, "Don't worry. Tell me first, what's going on? Why look for Baique? ”

"Jade pendant, sister's jade pendant, in their hands!"

Lin Ruo finally came back to his senses a little, told Li Yan everything Leng Shu said, and said his own inference: "There is such a piece of Xiuyu jade pendant on my body, which is the relic of Sister Xi. The materials, patterns, carvings, and patterns of the jade pendant are all the same as Sister Xi's jade pendant, but only Sister Xi's eight characters are missing. Therefore, the one who can find the abnormality of the jade pendant must be the owner of another jade pendant! ”

Li Yan nodded, softly persuaded Lin Ruo to calm down, and then said: "Maybe you guessed correctly, the jade pendant is in the hands of the master of the Funeral Pavilion, but have you thought about it, why did he come to find that jade pendant ten years later?" ”

"I ......"
