In the early morning, the sky was not yet fully bright, and there were still a few stars in the sky that were not hidden, twinkling faintly.

Qiao Chu, who was lying on the bed and was sleeping lightly, suddenly moved his ears, suddenly opened his eyes, and subconsciously looked at the direction of the window, his eyebrows and eyes were sharp, and he felt a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the house.

Pu Luo walked slowly from the door, with a bright smile on his face, and behind him was the brilliant morning light. Qiao Chu turned his face sideways, his eyes narrowed, his silent gaze slowly swept over his face, and said, "Puluo, you really can afford to look down on me, using such a big battle." ”

Pu Luo looked at him with the eyes of looking at his prey, his thin lips pursed a trace of coolness, the corners of his eyes drooped, and even his smile looked so sinister: "This is natural, Qiao Chu, to deal with a femme fatale like you, a scheming person, you naturally have to use some means." ”

Qiao Chu smiled lightly, slowly got up from the bed, slowly picked up the clothes from the bedside hanger and put them on his body, and seemed to be indifferent to Puluo's sword-like formation: "If you want to catch me, you can also see if you have that ability." ”

"No, I didn't mean to capture you alive." Pu Luo suddenly grinned at him, reached out and touched his chin, and smiled: "You are not from my Qiluo clan after all, and you have to rely on that person to deal with you." ”

Qiao Chu's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and his eyes like a knife slashed at his head, and a terrifying ruthlessness gradually appeared in Sen Han's eyes, Pu Luo waved his hand at him again and again, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Look at me, I almost forgot that person is a hidden disease in your heart, I can't mention it, but this time I can't tolerate you, the Ming Emperor sent another person from Beijing, and it happened that the cause of Grandma Jiu's death was strange, and that person took over and came to investigate the matter." ”

"Puluo, do you think I, Qiao Chu, will be afraid, I don't care about this little bit of your means." Qiao Chu raised his eyebrows and stared at him, raised his legs and walked towards him, Pu Luo was slightly startled, and couldn't help but take a step back, and the ghost-faced guard behind him immediately stepped forward with a knife and protected Pu Luo behind him.

Qiao Chu put his hands behind his back, paused leisurely, his slightly narrowed phoenix eyes twisted him, he was very ruthless for a while, and laughed sneeringly: "Then you have to live too, but, Qiao Chu, I'm afraid this time will be your calamity." ”

Qiao Chu was stunned, and suddenly saw that he was looking right, and Pu Luo suddenly scolded in a deep voice: "Bold Qiao Chu, you deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, killed the grandmother with your own hands, come and take him down!" ”

"Who dare!" Qiao Chu shouted angrily at the ghost-faced guards who were about to move, and he was full of energy, and his voice was as loud as a thunderbolt on a sunny day, so loud that everyone trembled and felt pain, and the poor ghost-faced guards were just patrols in the imperial city, who had never been in battle and killed, and they were all frightened when they heard the words, and they retreated back one after another, and their momentum had already been lost.

Pu Luo looked at the crowd and was furious, but a man's thick voice came from the door: "I dare." ”

Qiao Chu raised his sword eyebrows, looked at the past with the voice, Pu Luo hurriedly stepped aside, out of the way, a man under the morning light walked with his hands in his hands, a pale green robe like a leaf of bamboo, a long embroidered plum blossom, extending all the way up from the hem to the waist, showing a bit of arrogance, the bottom of the eyes was shining, like the morning dew in the rising sun.

Qiao Chu frowned and looked at the visitor, his eyes slid a trace of sharpness, and he couldn't help but sink and say, "It's you, Wang Xin." ”

"It's the official." Wang Xin's eyebrows and eyes were stretched, his eyes were narrow and long, his thin lips were lightly raised, and a charming smile appeared, but his words had a deep meaning: "I didn't expect that my dignified Guiyang chief turned out to be half of the Qiluo tribe, and I don't know how Duan Changge recruited his subordinates, and he actually left such a bane on my Ming Dynasty." ”

After that, his eyes inadvertently swept to Puluo's body, Puluo's eyelids twitched, lowered his eyebrows slightly, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Our Qiluo clan has always submitted to His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and heaven and earth can be learned, and there is no second heart. ”

"That'll be fine." Wang Xin still smiled lightly, waved his hand to Jin Wuwei who was accompanying him, and ordered: "Come on, arrest this murderer for me." ”

"Wait!" Qiao Chu scolded in a deep voice, not flustered, and his voice was not harsh, but the fierceness of his body made the listener's heart awe-inspiring.

"Say I'm a murderer, what proof do you have? If you want to arrest the murderer, you have to have evidence to come up with so that Qiao can be convinced! ”

As soon as these words came out, for a while, there was silence all around, Wang Xin raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth hooked a sneer of disdain: "Just now, this official has already examined the body of Mrs. Nine, and found that Mrs. Nine did not die normally, on the top of her head, there was a little scar under the cover of her hair, but in the skull, there was no murder weapon that could kill anyone, but this kind of strange scar, this official had seen it in previous cases." ”

Wang Xin paused, waved his hand to the person behind him, Jin Wuwei immediately moved a chair from the hall, he bent down and sat down, put his clothes on his knees, and said lightly: "That is the master of the rivers and lakes, a person who specializes in practicing the Yin and Cold exercises, as long as he uses the power to gather internal force in the palm of his hand, he can instantly freeze the water droplets into ice needles, in this way, it is a sharp weapon that kills people invisibly, Qiao, the official has already found out, you are practicing this exercise, and in the entire Qiluo clan, only you, Duan Changge, and the old man of Boundless will do this exercise, It's just that the Boundless Old Man was with your entourage at the time, and Master Duan has unfortunately died, so I'm afraid you are the only one in this world who is suspicious. ”

Qiao Chu sneered: "It turns out that Lord Wang's decision to solve the case is all based on speculation, which really opened Qiao's eyes." ”

The smile lines in the corners of Wang Xin's eyes are like faint ripples in the heart of the lake, clear and shallow: "Director Qiao has always been sharp-toothed, but if you can't find evidence to prove your innocence, don't blame the official for doing business." ”

Qiao Chu calmly raised his eyebrows and slightly turned to Puluo on the side, squinted slightly, his pupils were twisted with a sharp edge, and he said coldly: "What a plan to kill two birds with one stone, Puluo, I underestimated you in the past." ”

There was a wind blowing outside the door, Pu Luo raised his hand to play with the broken hair, but the sinister on his face was not hidden, he smiled and said: "If you don't kill Grandma Jiu, how can I have this opportunity, Qiao Chu, do you think you are really a last resort, just like people's hearts, you will never understand, you can't see through."

_

Even if there are a few candles lit on the stone wall at the entrance of the prison, it still can't alleviate the gloomy atmosphere, but it makes the dark prison even more dull and solemn, as intimidating as hell.

Qiao Chu sat on the dry grass, his clothes were already messy, his eyebrows and eyes were dark, and he was still thinking about Puluo's last sentence in his heart, and his words seemed to mean something.

Who could he be the incomprehensible human heart?

"Master, are you okay?"

Qiao Chu was stunned, Mo Yun's voice came anxiously from the door, raised his eyes, and saw Mo Yun holding the iron prison with both hands, and his body leaned slightly towards the cell, but his jaw behind the black gauze was tight: "Master, how could things have evolved like this, why did Wang Xin suddenly come to the Qiluo clan, isn't it that the emperor doesn't trust Duan Changge?" ”

Qiao Chu raised his eyes and stared at him for a moment, his dark eyes were as heavy as the dim light in the dungeon, which made people incomprehensible, but he didn't say a word.

Mo Yun looked at his sharp eyes, slightly stunned, and it took him a long time before he said, "Master, you ......"

"Pu Luo is right, I really can't understand people's hearts." Qiao Chu suddenly interrupted his words, and smiled extremely coldly: "What kind of exercises did Duan Changge and I practice, and how did Wang Xin and Puluo know?" ”

Mo Yun paused for a moment, looked at Qiao Chu fixedly, and after a while, he bent over and knelt on the ground, shook his head, and his voice trembled and saddened with almost inaudible trembling and sadness: "Master, you ...... Don't believe me? ”

Qiao Chu was still staring at him tightly, his eyes were full of anger, with a resolute scrutiny, for a long time, he withdrew his gaze, slowly stood up and approached Mo Yun, and sat down next to him at the door of the cell, the anger in his eyes faded at this moment, sadness flowed, swallowed his throat, and said, "I believe in you." ”

Mo Yun's body trembled, his tense nerves gradually relaxed, his eyelashes hung behind the veil, and his voice seemed to come directly from his chest, with sadness: "Master, my life is given by you, I have been living in the dark, for so many years, people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, I live a reluctant life, it was you who took me out of the sun, gave me an identity, gave me a purpose, at least, and gave me a reason to live." ”

Qiao Chu sighed lowly, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and sneered: "Mo Yun, I know your thoughts. ”

After a pause, Qiao Chu pondered for a while, and his heavy eyes were shining: "You should also understand Puluo's thoughts, the agreement between his mother and Grandma Jiu, he is the last thing he wants to fulfill, it is the life talisman of his Qiluo clan." For so many years, he also knew that if it weren't for this life-saving talisman, Emperor Yongle would have captured the Qiluo clan in one fell swoop, and the pieces of armor that were killed would not be left, just like the Wu clan in the past, annihilated under the hooves of the iron horses. ”

"I'll stare at him." Mo Yun lowered his eyebrows and said coldly: "This person has great ambitions. ”

"Wang Xin's purpose here will not be simple, his ambition is even greater." Qiao Chu clenched his fists and punched the ground, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid, he also came for that agreement." ”

Mo Yun's expression was anxious and worried, and he said: "In this way, things will be difficult to do, and we don't know who killed Grandma Jiu, so we are in the open, and the enemy is hiding in the shadows, which is really a little passive." ”

"Passive?" Qiao Chu hooked his lips coldly and said in a deep voice: "No one can stop me, I will definitely help her fulfill my mother's last wish." ”

"So what are we going to do now?" Mo Yun asked.

Qiao Chu's eyes became distant, and the corners of his mouth picked up a sneering smile: "Keep an eye on someone for me." ”

"Who?"

"My master is an old man."
