Lin Ruo didn't know how to answer for a while.

She wanted to say, she thought about it, but she couldn't.

Or rather, when she learned of the whereabouts of the other Xiuyu jade pendant, this question simply flashed through her mind without thinking about it.

yes, why did it take ten years to look for that jade pendant?

Or in such a seemingly casual way, but in fact it takes a lot of effort.

If Leng Shu had agreed to Lu Ming's request at that time and stole Xiu Yuyu's jade pendant from her, would Bai Que still enter Beijing again?

He will!

Intuition told her that what Bai Que was looking for was more than just that piece of Xiuyu jade pendant.

Lin Ruo calmed down again and looked at Li Yan: "Brother Huaijin, I'm too impulsive. ”

Li Yan touched Lin Ruo's head and said, "Human nature. It's been almost ten years before I have the whereabouts of that jade pendant, and it's inevitable that my heart will surge. Fortunately, your courtyard is quiet, hidden in the corner, and no one dares to disturb it without orders. ”

Lin Ruo nodded, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's also fortunate that I met Brother Huaijin first, if I met Xiao Qi or Xi'en, it is estimated that it will scare them." And my uncle ......"

"Bai Que's details haven't been figured out yet, so I naturally won't let others come over, so as not to get anything wrong and can't deal with it." Li Yan said with relief, "By the way, I still have some questions, I want to ask Leng Shu, what do you think?" ”

Lin Ruo glanced at Leng Shu, who was standing beside him, frowned, and retracted his gaze: "Is it about Bai Que and Jiuxing?" ”

Li Yan nodded: "Hmm." ”

"But...... Ah Shu may not be able to say. ”

Li Yan smiled, glanced at Leng Shu with a cold face meaningfully, and said leisurely: "Whether you want it or not, it's up to him to decide; But whether to ask or not is up to me. ”

Lin Ruo pondered for a moment, turned his head, and asked Leng Shu's opinion.

Leng Shu nodded neatly: "Mr. Li, please speak." ”

"When did you meet your stepfather? When did you go with him? ”

Just ask when, not where. Two times, for Leng Shu, it was not included in the category that needed to be concealed, so he replied simply: "I met twenty years ago, and I joined Nine Stars fifteen years ago." ”

Li Yan tilted his head slightly, as if he was thinking, but soon, he asked a second question: "You mentioned that Bai Que was poisoned and invited a poison doctor to save him, when did you mention it?" ”

Leng Shu was silent and did not answer.

This was expected by Li Yan, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he replied for Leng Shu: "Ten years ago, on the day of Sister Aruo's accident, she was accidentally injured by the killer of the Tang Sect, right?" ”

In response to Li Yan, Leng Shu was silent again.

Lin Ruo guessed that there were people from Jiuxing present at the time, but he didn't connect the matter of Bai Que's poisoning and injury. Yes, what kind of poison needs to be solved by a "poison doctor" who is also from the Tang Sect? Of course, it's the poison of the Tang Sect!

In this way, it will be explained!

Moreover, Lin Ruo also realized that the Xiuyu jade pendant in her hand should be Bai Que's, not the Nine Star Pavilion Lord's death. Liyan sent someone to find Leng Shu and ask him to steal the jade pendant, but it was actually for Bai Que.

If Lu Ming, who passed this order at that time, informed Leng Shu that this was Bai Que's instruction, it is estimated that Leng Shu might not have refused so decisively. But this is also conjecture.

Lin Ruo stared at Leng Shu, expecting him to be able to loosen his mouth and give an answer.

"This is my guess, not counting your breach of promise to leak." Li Yan said lightly on the side, "Of course, even if you don't speak, I have already received a positive answer from your expression." ”

Leng Shu's face froze for a moment, and it was fleeting.

Then, he nodded neatly, admitting that Li Yan's guess was correct.

After getting a positive answer, Lin Ruo's heart was not only not relieved, but became even heavier, and with this complicated mood came more questions.

For example, Bai Que's identity, why did she have a jade pendant that was the same as her sister, why did she enter Beijing at that time, and why did she take the jade pendant by mistake with her sister......

These, even if you ask Leng Shu, Leng Shu will not know.

Li Yan didn't have too much abnormality on his face, he always maintained a wise and sober attitude, and asked the third question: "Do you know Bai Que's birthday?" ”

Leng Shu was stunned for a moment, obviously didn't expect Li Yan to ask this, and after thinking for a while, he replied cautiously: "It's about Ding Weinian, the twenty-second day of May." ”

The year is really uncertain, but the birthday is not misremembered - the deputy pavilion master's birthday every year, the old pavilion master and the pavilion master will personally handle it, although it is very obscure and low-key, but he has accompanied his father-in-law a few times, and he will not be mistaken.

"Xin Weinian?"

Li Yan chewed these three words carefully, thought for a moment, looked at Lin Ruo's inquiring gaze, looked natural, and asked Leng Shu the last question: "Your kung fu, is it your father-in-law, or a person from Nine Stars?" ”

"Both." Leng Shu didn't hide it this time, and quickly replied, "In addition to the righteous father and the old pavilion master, there are also other people to point out." ”

The training of the killer is very cruel, an excellent killer, his martial arts path is usually not fixed to a certain person or a certain department, but a mixture of many paths, and in the process of continuous fighting, in order to be foolproof in the assassination operation, and will not leave suspicious clues.

Li Yan nodded knowingly and said, "I understand." Ah Ruo and I have something to discuss, can I take a break from it? ”

Leng Shu didn't move, turned his head, and asked Lin Ruo's opinion.

His employer was Lin Ruo, even though Lin Ruo had said that Li Yan's orders and arrangements were equivalent to her orders, but at this moment, Li Yan and Lin Ruo were present at the same time, and he still put Lin Ruo's intentions first.

waited until Lin Ruo acquiesced, and then simply left neatly.

"Brother Huaijin, what did you find?"

Lin Ruo couldn't wait to ask.

"Bai Que's identity is hard to say. However, I am nine points sure of the identity of Leng Shu's father-in-law. ”

"You want to say, he is ......"

Li Yan nodded, confirming Lin Ruo's guess: "King Yu's shadow guard." ”

"But why?"

Although Lin Ruo made the same judgment, she was not very sure of her own judgment, because she was intuitively made from the judgment that Leng Shu said that Bai Que and Murong Chong chose to stand on Murong Chong's side when they were opposed. But Li Yan's firm tone proved that he had other corroboration.

"When I was in Beiqi, Midu sent people to deliver letters to the Qiang tribes, and I secretly solved them with Leng Shu. At that time, Leng Shu's assassination move was similar to the neatest killing move of the shadow guard. ”

Killers know the fragility of the human body best, and the killers they use are different, but if a killer's killing moves are similar to those of a well-nurtured shadow guard, then it is a little subtle. This kind of similarity in moves, Lin Ruo, who doesn't practice martial arts, can't see it, but she still understands this truth.

"If it is confirmed that Leng Shu's father-in-law is the identity of the shadow guard, and the piece in your hand is exactly the same jade pendant as Xiaoxi, except for the eight characters of Xiaoxi's birthday, and it is also from the same source, the identity of this white prince will be intriguing."
