Chapter Twenty-Three: The Cold Shoulder
In Gu Qingwei's study.
"Qing Wei?"
"I'm here, come in."
With a squeak, the door opened, and Mu Xianyun wore a pale yellow long skirt, which set off the whole person more elegant and light.
Seeing Gu Qingwei's slightly tired expression, he couldn't help but feel relieved: "Qingwei, don't worry too much. ”
"Well, I'm fine. What's going on over there in Xicheng? Gu Qingwei asked.
"The people from the City Lord's Mansion said that the Demon Lord Qiu Ke didn't give us any answer, but after reading our documents, he said, 'If Gu Xuanyan's grandson dies so easily, then it would be better for Xuanyanmen to dissolve as soon as possible.'" Mu Xianyun said indignantly, "He is a fool, he just doesn't want to admit it."
"On the day he left the customs, he sent the demon general He Mu over to forcibly ask for a marriage, and you married Su Qingchen on the same day, which must have made him feel supreme shame, so he became angry. With his stature, he is not enough to do it himself, but even if he does not deliberately indulge his subordinates, it is his subordinates who speculate on his demon heart and act without permission in order to flatter.
"Since he is unwilling to investigate, he is already partial."
"He was deceiving me when I was young. If my grandfather were still alive, he would never have been so lazy. Gu Qingwei pointed at the top paperwork, "This Miao Jiang is seriously injured and dead?" ”
"Yes."
"What about the other one?"
"The other one is named Du Ziteng, no matter what means the Desperate Hall uses, he is tight-lipped." Mu Xianyun continued, "He and Miao Jiang were fooled through the checkpoint guarded by Zhu Long, and Zhu Long had studied martial arts under his father-in-law in his early years, and he was half of his disciple. Yue Liang's entourage had come into contact with Zhu Long privately three days earlier. ”
"Yue Liang?"
"Yes. Grandpa was a hero in his life, and he had such a stupid grandson. I really can't understand it. ”
"Does Grandpa Yue know about this?" Gu Qingwei asked.
"Not yet, my father-in-law's nature is like fire, and there is no room for sand in his eyes. I'm afraid I'll ...... then."
Gu Qingwei thought for a moment: "Hmm." Let Grandpa Yue find out the truth by himself. And also. In this assassination, the two sisters of the Iron Lady who died cannot die in vain, and the compensation must be done. ”
Mu Xianyun nodded yes.
Gu Qingwei asked with a little hesitation: "By the way, Sixteenth child, is there any news?" ”
Mu Xianyun shook his head slightly: "Not yet." However, there were some eyebrows on the village school's side, and the night before yesterday, someone rescued two children from the underground culvert and sent them back to the village school. These disappearances of children are all due to the hidden rats in the west of the city. ”
"Hidden mouse? Haven't they been living in the dark underground culverts in the west of the city? Actually went to the East City to make trouble? By the way, who saved the child? ”
Mu Xianyun's face was strange, and he replied: "I heard Li Shanchang say that it was Ren Jianle who saved him. ”
"That young man who messes with Su Qingchen all day?"
"According to Li Shanchang, it's him." Mu Xianyun nodded.
"Recently, the disappearance of children must be followed by Baijietang, since they are responsible for the work of securing the people, they must be responsible. You can also ask the Desperate Hall to help, yes. Since Ren Jianle still has some experience in this, it can be regarded as a ...... to arrange him to help outside the Desperate Hall Forget it, let's not talk about it. Xianyun, I'm a little tired. ”
"Okay, then you can rest. Don't worry too much, I'll go see Sikong Yu. ”
After speaking, Mu Xianyun withdrew from the study. After closing the door, she couldn't help but frown. Because she found that Gu Qingwei seemed to be even more anxious.
At this time, Gu Qingwei in the study turned his head and glanced at a painting hanging on the wall: Red Sun is scorching.
It was the handwriting left by his father Gu Zhishu.
She remembered her father's dying words again:
"Wei'er, we are in the Gu family, and we have been responsible for it since your grandfather. Since you were born to take care of your family, you must understand the dangers involved. In the future, I will hand over the entire Xuanyan Gate to you. Since then, all the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of ordinary people have nothing to do with you. This is also where I am sorry for you as a father, but it is also something that I have to do as the master of the Xuanyan Sect......"
Gu Qingwei took out an ordinary-looking hairpin. It was the winged hairpin that Su Qingchen handed over to her on the day of the assassination.
She looked at the hairpin, her nails sinking deep into her palms, and muttered to herself:
"My grandfather, my father, my mother, and my eldest brother have all left me. This time, the Iron Lady killed two people, Su Qingchen and Sikong Wei were seriously injured, and they almost killed Xian Yun...... Gu Qingwei, how many more people do you want to kill? ”
After hesitating for a moment, he finally put the hairpin away.
At this time, in Gu Qingwei's eyes, there was no more anxiety, and there was only perseverance left.
……
"Uncle is awake! Uncle woke up! ”
The entire courtyard reverberated with Ling Xian's shouts of joy.
Su Qingchen said that he wanted to get out of bed and walk, and there was no big deal, but Ling Xian didn't let him get up at all.
"Doctor Zhong said, although you seem to be okay now, but you are recovering from a serious illness and your body is weak, so you need to prevent wind evil from entering your body. Uncle, don't go out of the door, you know? Ling Xian said solemnly, "By the way, I have already informed Miss, and it is estimated that Miss will come over soon." Since my uncle was injured, the young lady has been coming over several times a day. I was extremely worried about my uncle. ”
Su Qingchen smiled and nodded, and even said "Okay, okay", indicating that he would not walk out of the door.
Su Qingchen was not in a hurry, his Returning Recipe could have run on his own. So, he lay down on his back and waited for Gu Qingwei with peace of mind while cultivating.
The innate true qi in the body slowly nourishes and repairs the meridians that are riddled with holes.
At this rate, it would not take him two days at all for him to recover.
Once you become obsessed with something, time flies very fast. Except, of course, math.
Half a day was fleeting.
Even when night fell, Gu Qingwei was nowhere to be seen.
Ling Xian's explanation has also changed from "Miss estimates that there is something to deal with at hand" at the beginning to "Maybe Miss is too busy today".
Su Qingchen always smiled lightly.
The two of them have no emotional foundation, and their current physical condition is no different from that of a waste person in the eyes of outsiders.
Ling Xian came back again after going out halfway, and found that Su Qingchen was not only waiting in front of the bed, but also had no food to eat, and his face immediately became ugly.
She squeezed out a skin smile that didn't even smile at the meat, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Those people in the East Kitchen are a little lazy today." I'm going to rush them. ”
Ling Xian closed the door with a stiff smile, and immediately fell into grievance, tears already welling up in his eyes.
She stood at the door for a long time, then twitched her nose slightly, wiped her eyes lightly, and then cleaned up her mood, and said to herself inaudibly: "It's really a bully." I've got to find them! ”
She didn't know that Su Qingchen's five senses in the room were now so keen that any wind and grass within a radius of more than ten meters around her body could not escape his eyes at all, as long as he had a good insight.
Su Qingchen received a cold reception, the little girl didn't say it directly in order to take care of her mood, and only broke out outside the door. Su Qingchen was naturally a little moved, but he didn't feel deeply.
Let's put it this way, Su Qingchen's heart did not fluctuate at all, and he even wanted to eat mushroom and green vegetable buns a little.
You know, he has several years of experience in the industry.
The so-called cynicism and ridicule do not know how many, such a light and fluttering sentence cannot describe the torment in his heart in the past.
