Chenwang Study is located in the east of Shajiang City, just outside the bustling downtown area, a small plaque with some light and upright handwriting written "Chenwang Study" four words, even Xiao Qi can see that these words are not famous works, standing in the bustling market outside it seems a little abrupt, but this is already the largest study in Shajiang City.

Xiao Qi walked into the Chenwang study alone, there were only a few dozen people in the huge study, and there were stacks of oily books on the big bookshelf, and Xiao Qi had never seen most of them.

In addition to these more than ten people casually looking at the bookshelf, there are two people who should be the shopkeeper of the study, one is dizzy and lying behind the table, the upper and lower eyelids seem to be fighting, from time to time someone takes the book to his desk to check out, he also seems to roll his eyes and can't see, and whether he gives money or not depends almost entirely on the consciousness of the guest.

The other person looked like he was thirty or forty years old, shuttling between the bookshelves, often with a smile on his face, and talking eagerly with the guests who were reading the books. As soon as Xiao Qi walked into this study, this person noticed Xiao Qi and greeted him with a smile.

"This guest officer, but a fresh face, what kind of books do you want to read?" said an enthusiastic smile on his face.

Xiao Qi was a little uncomfortable with his enthusiasm, walked slowly to the study, looked left and right, and then picked up a book on the bookshelf at random in his hand, but secretly thought in his heart, who of these two people was the eyeliner arranged by Yunzhou, he thought to himself that it would not be the groggy guy at the table, but as an eyeliner, he dealt with Zhou Gong all day long, and he must not be able to live today.

Thinking so, the middle-aged man suddenly showed a wicked smile, smiled in front of Xiao Qi, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect the little brother to be young, so it's just a mouthful!"

Xiao Qi didn't know what to do, and at a glance, he suddenly found that a picture of a naked woman was printed on a page of the book in his hand, how enchanting her body was, and the paper was still very old, as if it was about to be turned over. He immediately closed the page in embarrassment, only to see the words "Yanchun Zhi" written on the book cover. He didn't know what the book was about, but he subconsciously threw it back on the shelf.

"Little brother, don't worry, although this is a banned book, no one wants to care about it in this remote place like Shajiang City. But this is the only book, not for sale, the little brother will be free in the future, you can come again! The middle-aged man grinned and made a "I understand you" look at Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi was so embarrassed that he almost forgot the purpose of his visit. His heart moved, and he asked tentatively, "Is this book really the only one?"

"That's nature. The middle-aged man looked very proud.

"But I've seen an identical one in Yunzhou. Xiao Qi said softly, still staring at the middle-aged man's expression.

The middle-aged man's expression suddenly became a little weird, and he smiled: "That must be the guest officer's mistake!"

Xiao Qi became more and more firm in his judgment, and continued to whisper: "I heard that the prince of Yunzhou Weiguo is now living in Shajiang City, this prince of Yunzhou loves to read, and this is the largest study in Shajiang City.

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled again and replied: "Little brother said that it was funny, Shajiang City is located in a remote area, and there are not many hard-working scholars who will settle in Shajiang City, so even if this is the largest study, there are mostly old customers coming and going, and this study is also raised by these repeat guests." This study has been open for many years, and it is not that it has not encountered visits from prominent scholars, but it has not lasted long. After all, reading is a thing that must be long-lasting, and it still depends on the old customers who have been doing it for several years. ”

Xiao Qi listened to it for a long time, only to feel that he was going around and around, and couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart that sure enough, the guy who has been in contact with books has been talking around and around, and he is simply a virtue with Wei Boyu.

The middle-aged man continued: "If the prince of Yunzhou has a heart, he will be able to harvest more. It's just that it is said that a few days ago, there was a thief attack in the courtyard where the prince of Yunzhou lived, and the prince was seriously injured and has not woken up yet. If you want to come to the next few days, you won't think about coming to the study. ”

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, and looked at the middle-aged man incredulously, but the middle-aged man's face did not change, and he lost his previous enthusiasm, still with a calm and deep smile. Xiao Qi was curious about how Wei Boyu would avoid Di Yuan's suspicions, if Di Yuan found out that Yunzhou was secretly colluding with others, it would be tantamount to putting both Xiao Qi and Wei Boyu on Di Yuan's target.

"Then is this Yunzhou prince seriously injured?" Xiao Qi asked.

The middle-aged man replied with a smile: "Why is it not heavy?" It is said that the blade of the knife was inserted through the heart, and it was almost pierced through the heart, although it was not fatal, but it also hurt the lungs, and the four or five subordinates who came to Shajiang City with him in the courtyard where he lived were also pierced through the chest with a sword, and died instantly. The life he left behind can be described as dangerous and dangerous. ”

Xiao Qi felt a wave in his heart, he didn't expect that the scholar who seemed to be extremely weak would be so ruthless to himself and his subordinates for the sake of the overall situation, and it was not like what the crepe Wei Boyu could do.

"In order to achieve great things, everything on the road is a stepping stone. He couldn't help but recall Wei Boyu's voice that day.

Seeing Xiao Qi's somewhat distracted appearance, the middle-aged man chuckled and said: "But in addition to the prince of Yunzhou, there are other dignitaries who like to come to the study recently, but after visiting the study, they can't buy many books, it seems that they are just having a good time, and they have met the prince of Yunzhou a few times." ”

"Who is it?"

"General of Shajiang City, General Suo Pingzhang. The middle-aged man seemed to be smiling.

Suo Pingzhang would come to the study Xiao Qi didn't expect it at all, looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to be a scholar, not to mention that he was a military general. He suddenly thought, could it be that Suo Pingzhang began to be suspicious of this study, so he came to investigate from time to time?

Xiao Qi stared at the middle-aged man's expression, not knowing why he suddenly mentioned Suo Pingzhang, and wanted to see a clue from his expression. At this time, another person walked in at the door of the study, and the middle-aged man shouted to that person with a smile on his face: "Boss Zhang, wait a minute!"

Saying that, the middle-aged man made a helpless look at Xiao Qi again, and said in a low voice: "This boss is very difficult every time he comes, he can't buy a few copies after looking through the books, it's just an old customer, it's not good to save his face, I'm afraid it's a bad luck today, let's come back in a few days, next time I come to report my name, Lu Yuanhu, I will prepare the book for you!"

Before Xiao Qi could say more, Lu Yuanhu put Xiao Qi aside and went to entertain the so-called "Boss Zhang" who entered the door. Xiao Qi scratched his head in disdain, and it was inconvenient to turn around and leave, and he stayed in the study for a while, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the "Yanchun Zhi".

"Hehe, if you want to see it, you can see it, your eyes are going to pop out if you look at it like this!" A delicate voice suddenly came from nearby, Xiao Qi was startled, his face was unconsciously hot, and when he turned around, it was a little girl in white standing behind a bookshelf, leaning on the bookshelf, with a frivolous expression on her face that did not match her appearance at all, and looked at Xiao Qi with a smile.

"I just...... It's just a coincidence......" Xiao Qi stubbornly wanted to argue, the little girl glanced at Xiao Qi, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you can say whatever you like, but believe it or not is my business!"

Xiao Qi suddenly felt that this little girl was really a small ghost, with a delicate face, her height was only a little higher than Xiao Qi's waist, and she looked the same age as Xiaoxi, he couldn't help but be curious: "You are so young, how do you know so much, do you recognize this book?"

The little girl glanced at Xiao Qi and said angrily: "What is the young age, this girl turned twenty years old last month!"

Xiao Qi first glanced up and down at the little girl in surprise, with her height and face, she really couldn't tell that she was already twenty, and couldn't help but suspect that she was talking nonsense. But then he looked earnestly into the little girl's eyes, and asked, "Even if you are twenty years old, how do you know these things?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and did not show any embarrassment, but glared at Xiao Qi with a calm expression and said, "I just know, you care about me?"

Xiao Qi nodded silently, this little girl's pungency was better than Gu Wanyi, and he suddenly found it interesting, so he chatted with her for a few words. However, the little girl chatted to death, and he remembered to chew the meaning of Lu Yuanhu's words, and walked out.

"Wait!" The little girl suddenly called Xiao Qi from behind, Xiao Qi turned around, only to see the little girl staring at her feet. She slowly approached Xiao Qi, squatted down, and reached out to reach for Xiao Qi's feet.

"Eh, what kind of hobby is this?" Xiao Qi was inexplicable, and said that this little girl was really weird, and subconsciously took a step back. The little girl's hand was faster, she grabbed ahead of Xiao Qi, touched Xiao Qi's boots, and the cold light flickered.

Xiao Qi reacted at this time, it was the broken soul that he had always hidden in his boots, it seemed that the little girl was not coming at his feet, he was secretly a little amused by the thought he had just flashed. It's just that he has always kept the broken soul in his boots, and he didn't show any handle, and he was somehow discovered by this little girl.

The little girl looked at the broken soul carefully, her face was very solemn, and after a while, she said to Xiao Qi, "Where did this dagger come from?"

Xiao Qi didn't want to reveal the details to anyone, so he only shook his head, and took a step forward to take it back. The little girl jumped back lightly, just dodging Xiao Qi's palm.

"If you don't say much to me, let it be, but there is something strange about your dagger, and you must know it yourself. If you want to figure it out, come with me and I'll show you where to go, how about it?"

Xiao Qi looked at the serious look on the little girl's face and hesitated for a moment. He didn't know the strangeness of the broken soul, although it and the golden poison rose in Gu Wanyi's hand were the same spirit blades made of Calm Iron, they were a strange red color, and after being stained with blood, a layer of mist would be released to wash away the bloodstains, but the blade was still a faint red, neither deepening nor lightening. And when he held the broken soul, he was also inexplicably smooth, as if he really had the same heart. And the Golden Poison Strong, which is also a spirit blade, has never been like this.
