The maid who had just disappeared came out from a corner in front of her, a little trembling, wanting to say but not daring to say it. "Who's here?" Suddenly, a male voice came out of a room. Although under the shade of the tree, the shadow covered his face, but Shen Zhiqing recognized this person as Wu Xiang at a glance. When that person saw Shen Zhiqing, he also had the same surprised expression. "Xiaoqing?" Wu Xiang walked forward quickly and looked at Shen Zhiqing, who was dressed as a Daoist aunt for a long time, not knowing how she could appear like this, and even more wondering how she could find the dance club.

"Presumably this is Wu Xiang's benefactor." Qingping spoke first and made a salute.

Wu Xiang saw that the monks had made a salute first, and immediately returned the salute. "She is my master, Qingping Dao Chief." Shen Zhiqing didn't say much, her face was expressionless, and her expression was a little more cold. Wu Xiang looked at her carefully, he hadn't seen her for so long, he had lost a little weight, although his face was not as haggard as when he left, but he had lost his previous liveliness, and his face was more calm as if he had gone through the ups and downs of life. But Wu Xiang was still very surprised when he saw her, "Xiaoqing, where have you been these times, let's find it easy." ”

Shen Zhiqing didn't answer his words, "Master and I just happened to ask you to understand something." Wu Xiang was still wondering, could it be that Shen Zhiqing wanted to know about Bai Xuan, but the Bai family's whole family was imprisoned and confiscated, didn't this help her avenge her, what did she want to know. Wondering how to summarize and be bored, he didn't want to snub people, so he invited them into the hall and asked people to show them good tea.

"Master Wu, I came here to find someone this time." Qingping took out the plum blossom needle, and Wu Xiang knew what she meant. "To tell you the truth, the owner of this needle just passed away a few days ago."

"Oh? What's going on? ”

"I didn't know that I suddenly died at home. I'm here to help with the aftermath. ”

"How do you know the people here?" Wu Xiang spoke without leaking, and Shen Zhiqing felt that he had something to hide, so he asked more.

"My master and the master here are old friends, and I can't bear to see this, so I asked me to help with the cooking before."

"Your master is also from Qingzhou?" Qingping took advantage of the tea to secretly observe Wu Xiang's expression, which seemed to have no flaws. "Exactly."

"Then since the person is no longer there, Master Wu has something to do, so the poor road won't bother much." Qingping got up, and Shen Zhiqing also got up. Wu Xiang hesitated a little, "If you don't dislike this, let's have dinner here and leave, Xiaoqing, you haven't seen you for a long time, it's better to stay longer." ”

"No need. Master and I still have something to do. Shen Zhiqing went over to help Qingping, and then said goodbye to Wu Xiang.

"Master, this person is dead, didn't we come for nothing?" After returning to the inn, Shen Zhiqing asked quietly.

"It's not in vain. If my guess is correct, Wu Xiang's master may be from Qingyun Division. And this Xiuniang was my senior sister's outer female disciple, and she was probably killed. ”

Shen Zhiqing heard the name Xiuniang for the first time, "Could it be that this Xiuniang has anything to do with Wu Xiang's master?" ”

"My senior brother has two apprentices, after he disappeared, they both came to Xizhou, and the eldest apprentice Gu Feng was killed soon after; Although the second apprentice does not practice martial arts, he is proficient in medicine stones, and he opened a pharmacy in Xizhou, and his whereabouts are unknown not long after. Both of these brothers passed their tokens to them before they disappeared. I later investigated and found that my senior brother had also accepted an apprentice before, this person was named Liu Lun, who was expelled from my senior brother because of his fierce behavior and treachery. Xiuniang is the outer female disciple who studied under my senior sister, and when she apprenticed, Liu Lun had not yet left the teacher. ”

"Do you suspect that the two of them have something to do with your brother and sister?"

"I don't have evidence yet, I can only speculate."

Shen Zhiqing thought for a while, "Otherwise, if I talk to Wu Xiang tomorrow, I may be able to find some clues." Qingping was silent for a while, "It's okay, I see that Wu Xiang is not like those big traitors, maybe he can help us." But you must not take any risks, and if his master is here, do not reveal anything; If he is unwilling to cooperate, then he must not get to the bottom of the matter. We'll find another way. ”

The next day, Shen Zhiqing went to the dance music workshop again. Wu Xiang was a little overjoyed when he saw her again, Shen Zhiqing's face was calm, he didn't be polite to him, and went to the hall with him.

"Xiaoqing, how are you doing these days?" As soon as he sat down, Wu Xiang couldn't wait to ask for warmth, when Shen Zhiqing ran away, he was worried that he would never see her again, and he didn't want her to appear in front of him by himself, and suddenly there was a kind of day when he returned to Qinghebang, if all this would not happen, would he and Shen Zhiqing still be carefree together. It's just that when he glanced at Shen Zhiqing again, he knew that all this could not go back to the original days, and now Shen Zhiqing has no bright smile, no bright eyes that make people's hearts clear, but instead of a suffocating calm, this kind of silence covers up all the past, and it is not deep.

"I've been under Master's door all along." Shen Zhiqing didn't say much, and replied lightly. If it was in the past, Wu Xiang had a lot of problems one after another, but now his mouth seemed to be blocked, he didn't know whether to say that, or whether to speak, the air was like condensation, forming an invisible barrier between him and Shen Zhiqing.

"I know what you want to ask, and I'm not going to hide it." Shen Zhiqing ignored Wu Xiang and continued, "You have worked as an errand in Baifu, and you may have heard that I once fell in love with Bai Xuan, the second son of the Bai family, and had the idea of making a private decision for life. But this has passed, and my love and feud with the Bai family have been broken. I'm not here to seek revenge, nor to seek revenge from you. ”

When these words came out of her mouth, Wu Xiang was somewhat surprised, after all, he remembered how Shen Zhiqing fainted sadly. Since he heard about Bai Xuan and him, he was determined not to do anything for the Bai family and help her find a chance to take revenge. When the Bai family was imprisoned, he felt a sense of revenge. He knew a little about the matter between Xiuniang and Liu Lun, and when Liu Lun poisoned Xiuniang, he also understood why he killed him. He is like a cold-eyed bystander, although he did not push it, but now this result is acceptable to him. It's just that Shen Zhiqing in front of him seems to be talking about something that has nothing to do with him, and he is indifferent to everything. "Then you came this time because of what your master said yesterday?"

"Yes." Shen Zhiqing nodded, "It's not a secret, my master and your master may have a little relationship." She was also on Fengqi Mountain in Qingzhou in her early years. ”

"Oh?" Wu Xiang was a little surprised by this, yesterday's Taoist knew that his skills were very profound when he saw his skills, maybe even Liu Lun was not her opponent, "Could it be that she is also a member of Qingyun Division?" ”

"Not now. Me neither. Shen Zhiqing took a sip of tea and said in a slow tone, "Xiuniang's death has nothing to do with a tragic incident in Qingyunsi many years ago. What I want to ask is, is your master's name Liu Lun? ”

Wu Xiang's eyes widened, although it flashed, Shen Zhiqing already knew the answer. Wu Xiang didn't want to lie in front of her, and he didn't want her to get involved in the matter, he didn't know whether her master was friend or foe.

"Xiaoqing, I don't want you to get involved in these things."

"Master is very good to me, you don't have to worry. I'm not the Shen Zhiqing I used to be. She paused, "It's just that you need to worry about yourself, Liu Lun is like this to Xiuniang, he has trust in you?" ”

Wu Xiang was stunned, Shen Zhiqing had not been here for so long, and he seemed to know everything about this place. "I think that you didn't go with Xiuniang to encircle and suppress Sifang Lane, which shows that you are not an unscrupulous person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. That's why I'm coming to you again. ”

Wu Xiang suddenly had a breath in his heart, he wanted to come out but couldn't come out, he wanted to say that although he also hated Bai Xuan, he admired those benevolent and righteous people in his heart, and in this regard, he sometimes sympathized with Bai Xuan and Bai Jingtang, one was also a chivalrous man with the world, and the other did something unconscionable to the Shen family, but after all, he was open to those scholars. But after all, they were the ones who caused the destruction of the Shen family, and he didn't feel how righteous he was, otherwise he wouldn't have stood idly by until now. "Don't think too well about me, the Bai family is to blame for today's fate." Wu Xiang's tone was a little anxious, he had never had such an almost angry attitude towards Shen Zhiqing, "What is right and wrong, the people of Bai Jingtang regard him as Bai Qingtian, but what did he do to your family!" As for Lin Yongqin, this time he exterminated the rebel party, made outstanding contributions, and responded to every call in the court, but in fact, he oppressed the people, and the party fought against differences. I'm just a puppet, what's the use of having a conscience, I can't help you with revenge, and I can't help the weak if I'm far away. Shen Zhiqing let him speak, only to hear his voice a little hoarse.

"Ah Xiang." Shen Zhiqing called him softly. He hadn't heard her call him by his nickname for a long time, and he raised his head slightly to look at her, realizing that he had just lost his temper, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to treat you." ”

"I'm just worried about you, there are few familiar people in this world now, and you are one of them. As I said, you will always be my brother. What I believe will not change. Shen Zhiqing looked at the distance at the door and sighed, "I've already walked out, can't you still get out?" ”

Wu Xiang looked at her stunned, just after venting, he washed away all the stuffiness of these days, and her eyes made him calm. This is family, and family members don't care who should help whom, they only care about whether you are okay or not. Wu Xiang left Shen Zhiqing to eat, and she agreed. Wu Xiang told Shen Zhiqing how he entered the Bai Mansion, how he met Xiuniang and Liu Lun, and how he entered the Qingyun Division.

"Do you think Liu Lun wants to save Bai Xuan?" Shen Zhiqing asked.

"I heard that Xiuniang once quarreled with Liu Lun, saying that he was just trying to protect his apprentice, and that he had burned some evidence. If my guess is correct, Bai Xuan is Liu Lun's apprentice. Wu Xiang sighed,

"I helped Liu Lun investigate a lot of people at the time, but fortunately he burned it, otherwise I don't know how much he would have been implicated."

"I also want to save Bai Xuan."

Wu Xiang thought that he had heard it wrong, and suddenly raised his head and saw that Shen Zhiqing's eyes were very firm. "I'm not for anything else, the world has to change, I can't chill the hearts of scholars, I can't miss people like him."

"Are you sure you want to save him? Just for this? Wu Xiang was still a little puzzled.

"It's just for the people of the world."

Wu Xiang was silent for a while and nodded, "Okay, I'll find a way." ”

"If Liu Lun wants to save it, let him save it, he is familiar with Lin Yongqin, maybe there will be a way. But remember, you can't let Bai Xuan fall into his hands, he may not be simple to save Bai Xuan, he will try his best to get out of the list of the Tongxing Association. Wu Xiang listened to Shen Zhiqing's instructions and nodded his head one by one. Can you find Han Zheng? It's the one you saw at the pharmacy last time. ”

"Han Zheng is wanted now, will he appear? The pharmacy he frequented was closed, and the shopkeeper was gone. There was a notice hanging at the door, and I went south to collect medicine. ”

"Yes. He will definitely come. "Shen Zhiqing pondered, Zhang Changhe never went out to collect medicine, this signboard should be a hint." South, south. She had an idea, "You found out all the industries under Zhou Nan's name at the beginning?" Maybe you can find Han Zheng. You go to Zhou Nan's various industries to find it. You're good at tracking, and that's not going to bother you. Shen Zhiqing left the dance club after explaining, she believed in Wu Xiang, as she said, she had always treated him as a family member, and so did he, and he had never changed.
