"I've wanted to ask you something for a long time, how did Zhou Chaogui die?" Chen Shao suddenly spoke.

Before the sound fell, he raised his head suddenly, and his sharp eyes pierced straight at Xingwei.

Xingwei was stunned.

"Zhou Chaogui?" He frowned, and then he showed a very indifferent expression: "Oh, I remember, he had to die of a sudden illness. ”

Chen Shao smiled, a few strands of black silk on his shoulders, and slipped down with laughter.

"Isn't he worthy of your master's trust? How do you say that death is death? He hooked the corner of one side of his lips, his dark eyes, cold as two ice pills: "Your master is used to cherishing talents, whether it is talents, dogs or killing talents, your master will keep them like treasures, and he will not move easily." Why did your master slaughter Zhou Chaogui? What has he done that your master should kill? ”

"I don't know." Xingwei's voice was very monotonous, and after a pause, he raised his finger and pointed at the wax pill: "However, I guess there may be the answer written there." ”

On his face, a look of worship gradually appeared, and he was fascinated, as if he was bewitched by something: "The master is like a god, since you asked, the master will definitely write down the answer in advance." ”

He paused, and his expression became cold again: "So, instead of asking me, you should read the letter first."

Chen Shao was not annoyed by this remark, but nodded in agreement: "Your master is chattering, and sometimes, he can indeed touch a dead mouse with a blind cat." ”

He tossed the wax pill upwards and said with a smile, "I'll trust you once." After finishing speaking, he took the wax pill in his hand and frowned slightly: "Take a cutting knife, I'll cut it open." ”

Xingwei glanced at him coldly and turned to the pins.

Everything was on the small bookcase, and he picked out a silver-handled knife specially used to pick and seal wax, and gave it to Chen Shao.

Chen Shao cut open the wax pill, took out the note inside, lowered his head and swept his eyes, his face was cold.

"What's going on?" He said coldly, looking up at Xingwei, his clear eyes were like snow outside the window, and it was terrifyingly cold: "My fourth brother...... How did Master Chen Si know about the 'Wind Bone Society'? ”

The Wind Bone Society, which is the name of the organization he and Xingwei belong to, was founded by the master himself.

Chen Shao shook the note to Xingwei, and a layer of evil aura appeared on his gentle and handsome face: "Didn't your master promise me before?" How did Fourth Master Chen get involved? Isn't your master even ...... him?"

"You think so much." Xing Wei interrupted him and rolled his eyes disdainfully: "The master doesn't look down on Chen Li at all, it's useless to be a scholar, and the master hates the most is a scholar, and you don't know it." ”

"In that case, how could Fourth Master Chen know about the Wind Bone Society?" Chen Shao was not moved at all, his eyes were cold.

Xingwei raised her eyebrows disappreciably: "You only care about looking at others, don't you know how to think about yourself?" ”

It was clearly a question, but his tone was still very cold: "Chen Li is enthusiastic, and he admires your knowledge very much, although he is not born with the same mother as you, but in his heart, the weight of your second brother is heavier than that of the eldest brother." ”

Chen Shao's complexion changed slightly, and his face, which was originally full of coldness, turned pale at this moment.

"You mean, I showed my track in front of him?" He asked, a hint of horror in his eyes, but his voice was very low: "When did he know?" ”

Xingwei's cold face instantly swelled up with mockery.

"Master, you're thinking too much about it again." He said, his expression was quite relaxed: "Chen Li only started to secretly investigate by himself after you disappeared." I don't know the specific situation very well, I only know that when the master noticed him, he had already found out Zhou Chaogui. ”

Chen Shao was frightened and shocked, and lost his voice: "He ...... himself"

Only said three words, he knew that it was not appropriate to raise his voice, so he immediately lowered his voice, and his tone was anxious: "You mean, he actually found out on Zhou Chaogui's head?" ”

"Yes." Xingwei replied, looking at him with an indifferent look in his eyes: "In the end, it's still your carelessness." You have always only been in contact with Zhou Chaogui, and you have moved around a lot in two times, although Chen Li is a dead reader, he is not stupid enough to go home, and it takes three, five, or seven years of hard work to find out why, and it is logical for Zhou Chaogui to be found out by him. ”

Chen Shao looked at him for a while, his body was slightly relaxed, he leaned lazily back in the chair, and raised his hand to brush the scattered hair on his shoulders.

"No wonder Zhou Chaogui will die." He put one hand on his knee, threw the note into his mouth with the other hand, swallowed it with his neck up, and smiled again: "You keep saying that it is my fault, but you don't say that your master is careless, and you have to find out Zhou Chaogui by the fourth master Chen." I've been out for eight years, and I can't help myself, what about your master? What have you been doing in the past eight years? Just watching Fourth Master Chen check down? ”

"You don't have any nonsense!" Xing Wei's face sank, and anger swelled in his eyes: "What a big deal is your disappearance? Back then, the city was full of wind and rain, and the master Taoguang was obscure, wasn't he implicated by you? ”

At this point, he showed an expression of admiration again, and his cheeks flushed abnormally: "Besides, the master is extremely kind-hearted, even if he later knows that Chen Li is investigating this matter, the master can't bear to move him for your sake." If it weren't for Chen Li who almost leaked Zhou Chaogui, the master wouldn't even kill Zhou Chaogui. ”

Chen Shao put his hands on his knees, sat quietly with his eyes closed, and did not answer.

Xingwei looked at him for a long time, "hehe" sneered: "Chen Shao, you should know the master's personality better than anyone else." I advise you to say less such things in the future, even if you are tired of your master, you should remember that your master was kind to you back then. ”

There was a gust of wind outside the curtain, and the royal blue cotton curtain was swept by the wind, and it made a "fluttering" sound.

Chen Shao looked up.

At the opening of the curtain, the shadow of a corner of the sycamore tree is revealed, and the branches bear the snow, which is blown down by the wind a little, scattered like a falling hero, and the sunlight is projected, and the broken snow is sparse and shining, like a small piece of fine silver dust.

"You just said that Fourth Master Chen almost leaked Zhou Chaogui, what do you mean?" He said slowly.

The wind had subsided, the cotton curtain was silent, and his cold voice was also gathered in this lonely room.

Xingwei had long lost the excitement of Fang Cai, half-lowered his head, and said lightly: "When your girl entered the palace for the first time, Chen Li secretly handed a letter to Zhou Chaogui and asked him to take care of your girl. ”

Chen Shao raised his head suddenly, his eyes were heavy, like two black holes that could not be seen.

"How can such a thing happen?" He stared at Xingwei, and the black hole eyes fell on his face, gloomy: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"Do I have a chance to say that?" Xingwei asked rhetorically, looking up at him directly, with a sneering expression: "You don't have eyes on you?" After you returned to Beijing, how much effort did it take me to squeeze in and serve you? Don't tell me you've forgotten that. After all, you've forgotten all about those eight years. ”
