When Ling Jiantong woke up from her sleep again, night had fallen, there was no one on the bed, she only felt that her head was still a little dizzy, she barely stood up, wanted to get out of bed to drink some water, and before her feet touched the ground, she saw Situ Qianchen walking in with a bowl of steaming noodles.

"Cut pupils, you're not in good shape, how can you get out of bed?" Situ Qianchen put down his face, poured a glass of water from the table, walked to Ling Jiantong's side, and helped her lie back on the bed.

Ling Jiantong's slightly pale lips were stained with a little water, and sure enough, he was much better.

She looked at Situ Qianchen in a daze, a little surprised, she only remembered that before fainting, the last thing in her mind was the back of his resolute departure, she thought that he really wouldn't care about himself, and went to Suicheng to retrieve the body of Brother Qiannan.

I didn't expect ......

Noticing Ling Jiantong's slightly stunned eyes, Situ Qianchen rubbed her head intimately and asked softly, "How is it?" Feeling better? ”

Ling Jiantong nodded and did not speak.

Situ Qianchen took the bowl of noodles from the table: "Cut pupils, do you know that you have slept for most of the day, I am really afraid that you will be hungry when you wake up, so I went to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles for you to eat." ”

Ling Jiantong looked at him as he spoke, picking up a wisp of noodles with chopsticks, carefully blowing away the hot air on it, and handing it to his mouth.

She ate it very obediently, and the fragrance of green onions came to her face, but she didn't expect him to cook in the kitchen, and it was quite delicious.

"Situ, is this your first time making noodles?"

Situ Qianchen nodded, and the corners of his mouth raised a smile that seemed to be nothing: "How is it?" How does it compare to what you do? ”

Ling Jiantong took the second bite unhurriedly, and silently replied in her heart, it was really much more delicious than what she made herself.

"It's okay, barely enough to eat."

Situ Qianchen was not annoyed, but said: "Then eat more, these days, you see that you have lost a lot of weight." ”

"Hmm," Ling Jiantong replied softly, and the bowl of noodles was quickly eaten.

Situ Qianchen put away the dishes and chopsticks, tucked the corners of the quilt for Ling Jiantong, and was about to go out after a few words, but Ling Jiantong grabbed his fingers, looked at his back, and asked softly: "Situ, you won't go to Suicheng alone, right?" ”

Situ Qianchen's fingers curled slightly, and he didn't hold her hand but replied: "Cut pupils, don't worry, I won't do anything that worries you." ”

Is this an indirect promise?

But she still didn't feel at ease, all night, although Situ Qianchen stayed by her side, she didn't know why, she always felt that it was unreal, the Situ Qianchen in front of her was unreal, there was a layer of invisible paper between them, she couldn't touch him, and she couldn't see through him.

None of this has ever happened before.

"Situ, I've been having nightmares lately, can you stay with me tonight?"

She was afraid, afraid that when she opened her eyes tomorrow, Situ Qianchen would disappear without a trace.

With his back turned around, Ling Jiantong couldn't see the change in his expression at the moment, he only knew that he had been silent for a long time, and just when Ling Jiantong wanted to give up, he heard his response coming from above his head: "Okay, I'll accompany you." ”

Situ Qianchen sat on the round stool, his right hand was tightly held by Ling Jiantong, he knew what Ling Jiantong was worried about, but he persuaded her again and again to be relieved, he would not leave her half a step.

Until she fell asleep, the fingers that held him loosened as well.

At night, Situ Qianchen leaned over to look at her sleeping face, his deep eyes were as deep as the sea, he gently stroked her black hair with one hand, his thin lips moved slightly, and there were thousands of words in his heart for some reason, but at the moment he choked in his throat, and he couldn't say half a sentence anymore.

He really wanted to stay by her side, just like he had promised her, but ......

The broken jade in his arms reminded him again and again that the fact that Situ Qiannan had died, and he had thousands of burdens in his heart, and he was really breathless.

He couldn't let his brother's corpse wander in a foreign land, and it was in the hands of the Pure Yuan Sect.

Since the emperor of the Mu family didn't save him, he couldn't ignore it.

So, he had no choice but to break his promise.

Sorry for cutting the pupils.

Early the next morning, Mu Jinghong was changing clothes behind the screen in the room, when he suddenly heard the door slammed open, and then a panicked figure broke in.

"Mu Jinghong, Situ is gone!"

Ling Jiantong looked panicked, and didn't notice that Mu Jinghong was half-naked at the moment, and the clothes he was holding in his hand were frozen in mid-air, looking at Ling Jiantong a little dazed.

It wasn't until Ling Jiantong's gaze moved down that she realized that she didn't seem to have come at the right time.

Ling Jiantong frowned slightly, hurriedly turned around, bit her lip and complained, "Hey, why don't you wear clothes in the room!" ”

Mu Jinghong raised his eyebrows, put on his clothes, and then said unhappily: "Eyes, it was you who broke into my room in a panic, why are you still complaining about me?" By the way, what did you just say? ”

Ling Jiantong slapped his head, almost delaying the business: "I woke up in the morning, and I found that Situ was gone, I searched all the places, but there was no trace of him, you say, will he ......?"

After listening to this, Mu Jinghong rubbed the position of his temples with his fingertips, and he knew that Situ Qianchen's composure yesterday was all faked, and he indicated that he promised not to go to Suicheng, in fact, he had already planned everything in his heart.

"Mu Jinghong, what should I do now? If Situ really went to Suicheng, would he be in danger? Ling Jiantong was anxious for a moment, and grabbed Mu Jinghong's wrist and asked.

"Okay, it's useless to be anxious now, one thing is clear to me, that is, the second brother must be going to Suicheng, and the only way for us now is to go to Suicheng to find him."

Originally, Mu Jinghong was planning to go to Suicheng, after all, Situ Qiannan's body was still in the hands of the Jingyuan Sect, no matter what, he wanted to take it back for Situ Qianchen.

It's okay now, just on the way.

"Just the two of us going to Suicheng? Why don't you bring some helpers or something? ”

Mu Jinghong poked her little head with her finger a little helplessly and said, "Taking someone to Suicheng, isn't that obviously revealing your identity?" But fortunately, the people from the Jingyuan Sect know the second brother, but they don't know the two of us, and I think it should be much easier for us to enter Suicheng. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go quickly." Ling Jiantong didn't want to wait any longer, she really wanted to grow wings on her back now, so that she could rush to Suicheng as quickly as possible and determine Situ Qianchen's safety as soon as possible.

After a few hours of travel, Ling Jiantong and Mu Jinghong finally arrived at the gate of Suicheng.

However, to their surprise, the gate of Suicheng was closed in broad daylight, and the people inside were not allowed to come out, and the people outside were not allowed to enter.

So much so that there was a group of people stranded at the gate of the city, and Ling Jiantong and Mu Jinghong were mixed in it, so they inevitably asked what happened in Suicheng, and it was so prohibited.

"Uncle, our husband and wife came from Yuri City, and after a night of travel, we wanted to go into the city to see our seriously ill mother, but why is the gate of this city closed? Is something happening? Mu Jinghong asked an old man wearing a straw hat next to him.

The old man was also a warm-hearted person, and looked Mu Jinghong and Ling Jiantong up and down for a while, before he sighed lightly and said: "You still don't know, there was an accident last night, I heard that Elder Jin, one of the five elders of the Jingyuan Sect, was killed at home, and now the whole city is strictly prohibited, and the murderer is being searched." ”

Mu Jinghong and Ling Jiantong glanced at each other, and then withdrew from the crowd alone.

"The elder of the Pure Yuan Sect was killed, do you think it could be Situ who did it?"

This kind of thing can be thought of with a single hair, such a coincidence in time, who else will there be besides Situ Qianchen?

Moreover, the head of Situ Qiannan, which was originally hanging at the gate of the city, also disappeared, so think about it, Situ Qianchen must have taken it.

Unexpectedly, in one night, Situ Qianchen had already obtained Situ Qiannan's corpse, but he didn't seem to want to leave Suicheng, did he want to stay in the city and kill the elders and sect leaders of the Jingyuan Sect to take revenge, and then plan to retreat?

"Let's think about how to get into the city now." Mu Jinghong leaned on the trunk of the tree, closed his eyes and pondered for a while.

Ling Jiantong looked at the closed city gate not far away, it stands to reason that such a high city wall is not comparable to those high-rise buildings in modern times, this height, as long as she is given less than half an hour, she can climb up, but ......

The most critical tools are not with you, and if you do them on the spot, you will waste a lot of time.

Ling Jiantong had a problem, the more anxious she was to think of a way, her stomach began to make trouble with her, no, her stomach gurgled and began to make trouble again.

She had to hold her stomach tightly, said hello to Mu Jinghong, and hurried to find the thatched house.

Ling Jiantong walked not far away, and saw a thatched house made of stones, she was immediately overjoyed, and ran over with a fart, squatting to solve a major event in life, when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.

Ling Jiantong poked her head out, and because of her sight, she could only see two pairs of red shoes, nested in the corner of the thatched house.

She held her breath as she heard their conversation.

"Honghua, I beg you, you can help me this time, I can give you all the gold and silver on my body, you will be the eldest lady of the Li family in the future, after going to Suicheng, you will definitely enjoy endless glory and wealth, no better than being a maid."

There was a whimpering cry: "Miss, Honghua begs you, if you leave, take Honghua with you, Honghua doesn't want to marry an old man, and Honghua also heard that Elder Jin of the Jingyuan Sect was killed at home last night, so this Elder Shui must also be the target of the murderer. ”

Wait, Ling Jian's eyes lit up, these two masters and servants sounded like they were related to Elder Shui in the Pure Yuan Sect?
