Xiang Shenling's teeth were sharp, and when she heard Chu Jiu's hard mouth, she was already unconvinced, and she quarreled with him again, crying and laughing.

The atmosphere in the room was lively, and Yuehua couldn't say anything about apology, so she carefully admonished her, and when she saw Chu Mubai glaring at her in secret, she walked out.

"Is there anything you want to say to me?" As soon as Yuehua came out of the room, she asked straight to the point.

Chu Mubai nodded and glanced at Zijin's room: "I chatted with Chu Jiu for a while yesterday, and it was about this Zijin girl." ”

"What's wrong with Zijin?"

"We think this girl is suspicious and don't want her to stay in the maple forest."

Yuehua shook her head helplessly: "Brother, you and Chu Jiu are really a little soldiers, Zijin is indeed of unknown origin, we don't know each other, but she did save my and Shao Xiang's lives, so it can be seen that her character must be good." ”

"It's because she saved your life that Chu Jiu and I feel even more suspicious. When we arrived, the situation was particularly critical, this Zijin girl was weak alone, against so many masters in the Blood Hall, life and death, she could escape safely, but she was still struggling to support, almost desperately trying to protect you. For a stranger, this is not normal in the first place.

She said that she knew your identity at the time and wanted to save you and receive the reward, but through my temptation yesterday, this girl is not a mercenary and greedy person. And when she got up this morning, she stood in front of her father-in-law's tomb and played the flute, looking preoccupied, so it can be seen that she must have deliberately approached you. Even if there is no conspiracy, it has to be guarded against. ”

Yuehua pondered for a moment, still shaking her head firmly: "In order to save me, she ruined the plan of the Bloody Hall, once she leaves the Maple Forest and goes back to live in the inn, will the people of the Bloody Hall let her go?" ”

"But yesterday we went to the inn where she stayed to find the shopkeeper and inquired, she has been in the capital for seven or eight days, why did she delay for so long for no reason? Is it really for sightseeing? ”

"If she really has some conspiracy, how can she be so stupid and deliberately expose so many flaws? This girl is upright and pure-minded, not a sinister and cunning person. ”

Chu Mubai frowned slightly: "Also, she said yesterday that she was in the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau in Kaifeng Mansion, I asked the people who came from Kaifeng Mansion, there is no Zhenyuan Dart Bureau in Kaifeng Mansion at all, let alone a female dart master who guards the bodyguards, she is lying from beginning to end, and her identity is indeed very suspicious." ”

Yuehua lowered her head and muttered for a long time: "Maybe, it's just that she has some unspeakable hardships." ”

"Yuehua, you don't know the current situation, we must be cautious. You must know that you are not just a person, you are involved behind your back, there is also the emperor, to be more serious, your safety is involved in court disputes, and it may be related to the country, and you can't be careless. So, you have to be responsible for your own safety. ”

One sentence made Yuehua a little stunned: "Brother, aren't you dangerous?" How can I be concerned about the country and society alone? ”

Chu Mubai didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say in a muffled voice: "It's definitely not alarmist, now the situation in the court is treacherous, and it's very complicated." My brother can't explain it to you in a word. ”

Yuehua looked at him suspiciously, which further confirmed his guess: "Brother, you have something to hide from me, don't you?" Your Majesty, is he in danger now? ”

Chu Mubai was stunned, and reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips: "How come?" You're overthinking. ”

He was afraid that Yuehua would get to the bottom of it, and he wouldn't be able to resist it, so he blurted out again, and quickly changed the topic: "I may be busy going out early and returning late these days, and I can't stay by your side all the time, you should be careful with yourself." If you think about my words, try not to keep her in Fenglin until Zijin's identity is unknown. ”

Yuehua saw that his face was solemn, not a joke, thinking of Mo Guhan's words and deeds last night, and suddenly felt heavy in his heart, as if a stone was pressed on his heart.

After breakfast, Chu Mubai came out of the maple forest again, Chu Jiu stayed in the house to recuperate, and Xiangshen went to the river in the distance with a basin of water to wash clothes.

Yuehua burned three sticks of incense in front of her father's mausoleum, and stood stunned for a moment, still confused.

Zijin didn't know when he came over, so he stood behind her: "Niangniang can accompany Daddy and A-Niang like this every day, compared to Zijin, she is already much luckier, poor Zijin's father is still uncertain about his life and death, and I don't even have any news from him." ”

Yuehua smiled: "There is no news, maybe it is the good news of Uncle Enron." Unlike Yuehua, who doesn't even have any hope, she has been lonely, and can only stand here and talk to herself. ”

"Did you often come here to pay respects to General Chu before?"

Yuehua shook her head: "Before I entered the palace, I lived in the Hou Ye's Mansion, and at that time, I could only come to see them on the New Year's Day and say a few words to them." There is only one grave keeper who helps me do my best here. ”

"What about the old man who guards the tomb?" Zijin's breathing became noticeably shorter.

Yuehua's heart suddenly woke up, and she didn't understand why Zijin cared about an irrelevant person, and her tone was so eager. Remembering that some time ago, the whole city searched for Ruber, which resulted in the tragic death of many innocent people, could it be that this Zijin girl deliberately approached her in order to find Ruber's whereabouts?

She looked at her quietly and shook her head, "I don't know." ”

"Don't know? Could it be that it will still evaporate from the world? ”

"There was a bit of an accident here, and Rubeus didn't say goodbye, and I don't know where he went."

Zijin may have felt that he was too eager, so he hurriedly restrained his expression and said lightly: "Maybe I'm going back to my hometown." ”

Yuehua nodded: "Maybe, but he didn't take any of his salutes with him." I think he was in a hurry, so I left all his things in the grocery room for him, just because I was afraid that he would suddenly come back one day. ”

Zijin secretly glanced at the grocery room and stopped asking.

Yuehua smiled: "Xiangshen should be coming back soon, I'll go meet her." ”

Zijin let out an absent-hearted "um", and after Yuehua left, he stood in front of the tomb and was stunned for a moment, then looked left and right, and went straight to the grocery room as if nothing happened.

The door of the grocery room was closed, she took a deep breath, pushed open the door, turned around to look at Chu Jiu's room, and then stepped in, closed the door with her backhand, and rummaged through the contents in a panic.

The door creaked open.

"Miss Zijin, what are you looking for?"

Zijin was startled, and suddenly turned his head, and saw Yuehua standing outside the door, with the sun on his back, looking at himself coldly, full of vigilance.

Zijin stood up, clapped his hands, and pretended to be relaxed: "I didn't look for anything, why did you come back so quickly?" ”

Yuehua didn't answer, and asked in a deep voice, "What is the purpose of you coming to the maple forest?" ”

"So you just lied to me?" Zijin smiled wryly: "You've been suspicious of me for a long time, haven't you?" ”

Yuehua shook her head: "I don't want to doubt you, but you're too anxious." ”

Zijin showed his feet, but he was not panicked at all, he calmly faced Yuehua, and smiled bitterly: "Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you, I didn't plan to hide it from you, I came here to find my father." ”

"Your father? Who is he? What does it have to do with Ruber? ”

Zijin shook his head, with a little tear in his eyes: "I don't know if there is a relationship between them, I haven't seen my father for six or seven years, and we always thought that he was already dead, so my mother was also depressed and died." ”

"Six years?" Yuehua turned to look at the mausoleum of her parents: "Is your father too?" ”

Zijin was already crying: "Sister Yuehua, don't you remember Zijin?" ”

Yuehua was stunned, glanced at her, and shook her head suspiciously: "I can't remember, who are you?" ”

Zijin wiped a handful of tears, looked left and right, and looked solemn: "Today's matter, when it came out of Zijin's mouth and entered the ears of Niangniang, you must not let the third person know, including Chu Mubai and Shao Ziqing Chujiu and everyone else." ”

"Why?"

Zijin looked at Yuehua and said word by word: "Because, this matter is a secret of General Chu's death." ”

Yuehua's heart was again: "My father? ”

"Yes!" Zijin nodded solemnly: "This matter is not trivial, otherwise Zijin would not have to be so secretive and cautious." Now except for Niangniang, no one can believe Zijin. ”

Yuehua saw that her face was solemn, and it was about her father, and her heart suddenly tightened: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"Niangniang, it's not appropriate to talk here, can you borrow a step into the house?"

Yuehua nodded, the two of them returned to the bamboo house one after the other, covered the doors and windows, and as soon as they turned around, Zijin turned over and fell to the ground: "Please save my father!" ”

"Hurry up and talk." Yuehua stepped forward and helped Zijin up from the ground: "Who is your father?" ”

Before he could speak, Zijin was already in tears: "Niangniang may not remember Zijin, but Zijin always remembers Niangniang, my father's name is Qiu Zhengqian." ”

"Qiu Zhengqian?!" Yuehua was taken aback: "You are Uncle Qiu's daughter?" ”

Zijin nodded, and tears fell like rain in an instant, and he couldn't cry.

Qiu Zhengqian's name is not unfamiliar to Yuehua, and it has been in Yuehua's heart for a long time, like a fishbone.

Because, when his father died in the battle of Cang'er Mountain, the whole army was wiped out, but the deputy general Qiu Zhengqian was missing, and the bones could not be found. There are many rumors in the army that Qiu Zhengqian collaborated with the enemy and betrayed Chu Lingchuan, so that he fell into an ambush by the Xiliang people.

Yuehua hated it to the core, it was Chu Mubai who said categorically that it was impossible, he didn't believe that Qiu Zhengqian, who had always been loyal to his father, would do such a traitorous thing to seek glory.

She also vaguely remembered that Qiu Zhengqian was originally a famous swordsman in the rivers and lakes, chivalrous and courageous, unruly, and quite famous in the rivers and lakes. Even, he was ashamed of his wife and daughter, and kept abandoning his family and business, which made his wife angry and took her daughter back to her hometown in Baoding Mansion.

Therefore, Yuehua also found it unbelievable.
