From Shizun's entrance, Xiao Jiu followed his side, and it was obvious that Shizun was back to administer justice for Xiao Jiu.

Since the master is towards Xiao Jiu, then letting Xiao Jiu go to the ancestral hall to receive punishment in public should also be an expedient measure to fool the public.

He has been a criminal officer in Xiling Mountain for so many years, and he can more or less figure out the intentions of his master.

It seems that Shizun wants to hand over this hot potato to himself to deal with.

Soon, the two came to the ancestral hall one after the other.

Because everyone is in the Qingyin Palace, the ancestral hall of the patriarch is very clean at this moment.

Although Xiao Jiu knew that Grandpa Patriarch would not really order others to punish him, he still couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.

"Xiao Jiu, come, come in!"

Yu Yuan's face was as usual, and after opening the door of the ancestral hall, he walked in.

Xiao Jiu followed closely and walked into the hall.

Compared with the ancestral hall of the Qingyou sect on Xiling Mountain, the ancestral hall of the ancestor is still larger here.

"Shut the door."

Yu Yuanwu knelt in front of the ancestral spirit, and folded his hands.

Xiao Jiu did as he said, and after closing the door, Yu Yuan slowly spoke

"Xiao Jiu, you are at fault, and the master intends to call this seat to punish you, so you kneel in front of the ancestors and repent well!"

"Yes."

Xiao Jiu didn't ask anything else, but obediently took a meditation cushion and knelt on it.

After feeling Xiao Jiu kneeling behind him, Yu Yuan slowly got up from the ground.

"After an hour of repentance, you are free."

"Yes."

……

An hour later, Xiao Jiu's legs were a little numb, and when he got up, he almost stumbled and fell.

But fortunately, his ability to balance his body is still very strong, and he finally stood firmly.

Since the ancestral hall came out, Xiao Jiu Lao saw Qing Yuan from afar, and at this moment, Qing Yuan was talking about something with Master Yuyuan.

After seeing Xiao Jiu come out of the ancestral hall, Qing Yuan immediately stepped forward and helped him.

"Xiao Jiu, how are you? Are you okay? ”

Although Xiao Jiu was a little tired, he was only punished for kneeling, and this punishment was nothing.

Shaking his head, Xiao Jiu brushed away Qing Yuan's outstretched hand without a trace.

"Disciple is fine, Master, please go back!"

"You kid! Your Yuan Master Bo Ke has told the master that he has abolished all the exercises of your evil sect, and he has also drained thirty percent of your true qi, how can you be okay? ”

Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.

It turned out that these were all made up by Uncle Yuyuan, and they were also to hide people's eyes.

"It's okay, Xiao Jiu is strong, Master doesn't have to worry."

Then, Xiao Jiu brushed away Qing Yuan's outstretched arm again, and walked towards his meditation room.

Qing Yuan followed behind him with no peace of mind.

"Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu,

You go slower, wait for the teacher! ”

No matter how Qing Yuan shouted, Xiao Jiu was holding on to his aching knees and moving quickly.

He suddenly remembered something, and suddenly turned around and asked

"Master, where's Xiuli?" Since they escaped from the mountain privately, they will not let Xiuli go easily!

When asked about this, Qing Yuan immediately slapped his head and said

"Oops! Look at the memory of the teacher, Xiuli ...... It's still locked up in the dungeon of the Golden Red Palace! ”

"Take me there!!"

Xiao Jiu's face was slightly angry, Qing Yuan knew that he was wrong, and he didn't care too much about his tone.

"Okay, okay, I'll call someone for the teacher, and let her go quickly."

After finishing speaking, Qing Yuan hurriedly took Xiao Jiu in the direction of the Golden Red Palace.

Xiao Jiu didn't dare to delay for a moment to keep up with Qing Yuan's footsteps.

When he entered the dungeon of the Golden Red Palace, the oncoming fishy smell almost stunned Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu held back his nausea and followed Qing Yuan step by step to the innermost part of the dungeon.

Looking from a distance, I saw Xiuli lying on the ground covered in blood at the moment, and the wrists of both hands were still tightly locked.

"Sister Xiuli!"

Xiao Jiusan stepped forward in two steps, hugged Xiuli's body in his arms, and probed his nose, fortunately, there was still breath.

"Quick! Untie her up! ”

Qing Yuan beckoned the people on duty next to him, and hurriedly untied the chains on his body and the restraints on his hands for Xiu Li.

In just an instant, Xiuli fell into Xiao Jiu's arms as softly as a boneless.

"Sister Xiuli! Wake up! I'm Xiao Jiu, I'm here to save you! ”

No matter how Xiao Jiu called, Xiuli was always unconscious.

Xiao Jiu was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack the master, so he had to say angrily to the person on duty

"What the hell did you do to her? Why is Xiuli always unconscious? ”

"This ......" The man hesitated for a moment before he said with a look of fear, "Senior Brother Xiaojiu, it was all the punishment that Senior Uncle Qingyuan asked us to use in the first place!" However, Miss Xiuli has only suffered some skin injuries, and she will get better after a while......"

Xiao Jiu didn't respond, but after glancing at the man fiercely, he picked up Xiuli by the waist and strode towards the outside of the dungeon.

"Eh......"

Qing Yuan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

But before leaving, he also glanced at the person on duty, and then flicked his sleeves and left.

In the evening, Xiuli woke up leisurely.

Looking around, I was surprised to find that I was no longer in the cell.

moved his body, although every wound was still painful, but the clothes on his body had already been changed.

Soon, Xiao Jiu pushed the door out of the door and walked in.

"Sister Xiuli, are you awake?"

Xiuli subconsciously pulled down the corner, looked at the visitor with a nervous face, and couldn't help but scream when he was sure that the other party was his son-in-law.

"Childe! Is it really you? You're back? ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Jiu nodded slightly, and then carefully poured out the medicinal juice from the steaming casserole on the side

Come.

Xiuli looked around, it seemed that there were only Gongzi and himself in this room, so his clothes, could it be...... Childe helped him take it off?

As soon as he thought of this, Xiu Li's face instantly burned like fire.

After Xiao Jiu filtered the medicine, he found that Xiuli was covering his face with the quilt at the moment, so he said strangely

"Sister Xiuli, what's wrong with you? Where is it uncomfortable? ”

Xiuli gently ripped off the quilt, revealing only a pair of eyes, and asked sullenly

"Dare to ask Childe...... Xiuli's ...... Shirt, is ...... Who's going to help...... Replaced ......"

By the end, the sound had been muffled by the quilt.

Xiao Jiu suddenly understood.

I'm afraid that Sister Xiuli mistakenly thought that this shirt was changed by herself, so it would be like this!

"When you brought Sister Xiuli back from the dungeon before, you were still unconscious. So I asked Master to send someone down the mountain and invite the best girls to come and heal you. This shirt! Naturally, it was also replaced by the girl. ”

After listening to Xiao Jiu's explanation, Xiu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and carefully pulled off the quilt.

"Original...... I see......"

"Come on! Sister Xiuli, drink the medicine first. The girl said that the dampness in your body has increased a little bit these days, so you need to use medicine to recuperate. ”

Blowing lightly on the liquid, Xiao Jiu carefully handed the spoon to Xiu Li's lips.

"Also...... Let's go on your own! ”

After all, with her current status, it is really inappropriate to ask her son to feed herself medicine.

"Then how can you do it, you have suffered so much for my son, you are my son's great benefactor! I'll feed you! ”

Xiao Jiu stubbornly refused to let go, and Xiuli had to blush-face and drink little by little.

It wasn't until a bowl of soup and medicine was at the bottom that Xiu Li said nervously

"Childe, why did you come back suddenly? Aren't you afraid of punishment in the mountains? ”

"Hey, hey! It's a long story, and I'll explain it to you later. ”

Xiao Jiu smiled and put the medicine bowl in his hand aside, and then carefully helped Xiuli to lie down.

"Sister Xiuli, don't worry, I won't let you suffer with me in the future."

"Nope! What to do for the son, Xiuli is willing. ”

Originally, she didn't like to drink decoction the most since she was a child, but when she was carefully fed the bowl of decoction by Gongzi, she only felt that she was still unsatisfied.

But she is the maid of the son after all, although there is the old owner's instructions, but she does not want to force the son, if the son does not take the initiative to marry her, she will never mention the matter.

Then Xiao Jiu asked Xiuli about everything that happened after he left.

Xiuli wept while crying about the whole process of being imprisoned and Qing Yuan ordering people to torture him.

provoked Xiao Jiu to beat his chest for a while, blaming himself.

At that time, in Su Heng's meditation room, at this moment, Qing Yuan and Jin Chen were both called to the room by Su Heng.

"Jin Chen! Where are the darts with the word 'Li' in your mouth? Take a look at this seat! ”

"Yes." Jin Chen should be under the word, immediately word

He took out a dart from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Su Heng with both hands.

After taking it in his hand, Su Heng frowned.

To be honest, he did see this thing many years ago, back then, Ciwei went out of the mountain to protect the old head of the Xuan Lingyi faction, and was chased and intercepted by Luo Li's men.

When I saw her again, it was embedded in her left arm, which was exactly the same as this dart.

After he carefully helped him take it off, he wanted to persuade him not to go up the mountain again, but Ciwei said to himself with a resolute look in his eyes

In order to save his wife, even if he fought for his life, Ciwei did not hesitate. The forbidden book, and please help you keep it, one day, if you can see it again, Ciwei will definitely ask you for it......"

Since that day, we have not seen each other for eighteen years.

After coming back to his senses, Su Heng sighed and said

"This thing is commonly used by Luo Li, the third elder of the Xuan Lingyi Sect, and his disciples also make good use of this dart. Now it can be basically concluded that the silver dust ...... It was at the hands of Xuan Lingyi's faction, not Xiao Jiu. ”

Hearing this, Qing Yuan was really ashamed, lowered his head, and admitted his mistake again

"Yes, it's all the disciple's negligence, and I hope the master will surrender to him."

Su Heng rested one hand under Qing Yuan's fist and raised it slightly

"That's it! You have never fought against the people of the Xuan Lingyi Sect, so how can you know? ”

"But, Master, is there something unknown to the disciple?" Jin Chen frowned suddenly.

"Speak!"

"Then Elder Luo Li has always had no grievances and no enmity with my Xiling Mountain, how could he suddenly order someone to go up the mountain and kill Senior Brother Yinchen?"

This is what Jinchen has always been puzzled about.

If Xiao Jiu colluded with outsiders to kill Yinchen without any motive, then the people of the Xuan Lingyi Sect also had no reason to assassinate Yinchen's junior brother!

Su Heng nodded and said after a moment of silence

"Maybe this matter will only be known if Luo Li himself is found."
