Guangling, Jiangyang School Palace.

When Ning Xiaochuan and a group of science disciples rushed to the Jiangyang School Palace, the entire School Palace had already begun to arrange Wang Pingyue's funeral.

As Cheng Yu's senior apprentice, Wang Pingyue's death made it difficult for everyone to accept this science for a long time, and the tears couldn't stop falling.

For others, it is the New Year, but for the students of Jiangyang Academy, today is undoubtedly a day of grief, and after this day, they will no longer see Senior Brother Wang Pingyu.

Wang Pingyue's body was found by a farmer who went up the mountain to cut firewood, and when he was found, he was gone, his body was full of wounds, and the whole person had been frozen into ice sculptures, and when he died, he was still clinging to the bag of soil on Taihua Mountain.

Later, Orion recognized Wang Pingyue's clothes as a disciple of science, so he brought his body back to Langya and handed it to Cheng Hao.

Seeing Wang Pingyue's tragic death, Cheng Hao was also very sad, and after helping Wang Pingyue clean up his remains, he put Wang Pingyue's body in the coffin and sent it back to Guangling.

Ning Xiaochuan saw the huge coffin in front of him, and he didn't dare to accept it for a while, Wang Pingyue died like this?

At this time, Ning Xiaochuan was stunned, he didn't seem to know what sadness was, at this moment, he looked at the coffin in front of him, and felt guilty and angry in his heart.

He was angry that he had let Wang Pingyue go in the first place, he should have thought that someone was going to kill him, so he shouldn't have let Wang Pingyue take this risk, he had Pei Yu by his side, but Wang Pingyue was alone.

Why, I couldn't have been tougher at that time, if I had stopped Wang Pingyue at that time, maybe it wouldn't be like this when they met again at this moment.

Cheng Yu came to Ning Xiaochuan's side with red eyes, Ning Xiaochuan looked at Cheng Yu, who was obviously a lot haggard, and arched his hand heavily, "Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry, it's ...... I killed my brother. ”

Cheng Yu's tears fell, he quickly wiped away his tears and helped Ning Xiaochuan up, "No...... It's not you who killed Ping, it's the killers, and you don't have to blame yourself. ”

"I ...... I shouldn't, I shouldn't let him go, I shouldn't ......" The more Ning Xiaochuan spoke, the more uncomfortable he became, and the sourness in his heart suddenly welled up, all of which turned into tears and dripped on the soles of his feet.

Cheng Yu patted Ning Yan's shoulder, and said with red eyes, "Pingyue this kid, say one thing or another, whatever he says, if he recognizes something, ten cows can't pull it back, it's me who is the master who didn't protect him well and let him leave so early." ”

Ning Xiaochuan looked at Wang Pingyue's coffin, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and at this moment, a science disciple walked over, "Sir......"

Cheng Yu took the blood-stained cloth bag in the hands of the science disciple and put it in front of Ning Xiaochuan, "This is what Ping Yue grabbed before he died, there is a Ning character on this cloth, I think it should also be yours, now that Ping Yue is gone, this should also be returned to the original owner." ”

Ning Xiaochuan's eyes were red and he looked at the red, white, and black cloth bags in front of him, burst into tears, and slowly stretched out his hand to take over the heavy cloth bag, which carried not only Yuan Zhenshan's wife, but also Wang Pingyue.

Looking at the blood marks on the cloth bag, Ning Xiaochuan couldn't imagine what Wang Pingyue had experienced at that time.

At this time, Cheng Yu spoke, enduring grief and said, "I have seen the wounds of Pingyue, eighteen knife wounds on the body, the most fatal one pierced the heart, that one pierced his entire chest, I am very proud, he died in battle, he did not disgrace the old man, he did not disgrace the physicist." ”

Ning Xiaochuan came to Wang Pingyue's coffin, his fists clenched, "Sir, don't worry, I won't let Brother Wang be killed so inexplicably, I must find out about this matter, and I must find out the real murderer behind it, definitely!" ”

He didn't want anyone to die because of himself, but there were always people who died because of themselves, first Song Jing, and now Wang Pingyue, he didn't dare to think that more people would die because of himself in the future, but he would never let them die in vain, because he Ning Xiaochuan had always been a gentleman.

……

Ning Xiaochuan returned to the inn with the bloodstained cloth bag, and when Yu Xiling and the others looked at Ning Xiaochuan's lonely expression and the cloth bag in their arms, they understood everything.

Back in the room, Ning Xiaochuan stared at the cloth bag in a daze, pondered for a long time, and finally looked at the packed bags next to him, and silently closed his eyes.

It wasn't until dinner in the evening that Ning Xiaochuan walked out of the room and announced a big event, that is, he decided to go south to Suzhou.

When Ning Xiaochuan made this decision, Yu Xining and the others all knew why, and there was silence for a long time, and finally Yu Xining spoke, "I'll follow you to Suzhou." ”

"It's been so long, don't think about throwing me away." Yu Xining pouted and said.

Ning Xiaochuan looked at Yu Xining, how could he not know this girl's thoughts, "Let's go back, you shouldn't be involved, I don't want anyone to have an accident because of me again." ”

"I didn't go because of you, I finally went on a long trip, and I didn't want to go back so early." Yu Xining said a seemingly clumsy lie, but it made Ning Xiaochuan's heart throb for a while.

Han Zhan looked up at Ning Xiaochuan and said, "If you go to Suzhou, can you count me as a brother." ”

Ning Xiaochuan smiled slowly, took out the cloth bag stained with Wang Pingyue's blood stains from behind him, and put it in front of Han Zhan, "Brother Han do me a favor, go to Xiangzhou Qiushan, give this to Mr. Yuan, and say that I promised him to do it." ”

"Brother Ning......"

Ning Xiaochuan interrupted Han Zhan's words, "Just treat it as a brother begging you, help me." ”

This should be the first time Ning Xiaochuan begged him, Han Zhan couldn't help but be moved, Liu En next to him took the cloth bag and arched his hand at Ning Xiaochuan, "Leave it to us, Ning Gongzi, you can do your business with peace of mind." ”

Ning Xiaochuan's eyes were red, he nodded with tears in his eyes, and looked at Nie Hongyi and Kong Zhenxuan next to him, "Miss Nie, Mr. Kong, if you want to leave, I won't stop you." ”

Nie Hongyi didn't say a word, lowered his head and wiped the sword in his hand, while Kong Zhenxuan snorted and said, "Ning Gongzi, I've been following you for so long, don't you know who the old man is?" ”

Ning Xiaochuan bowed slightly, he was very glad that there was such a group of people around him who were willing to believe in him.

Of course, Ning Xiaochuan's trip to Suzhou was not blind, Ning Xiaochuan had his own suspicious target in his heart, that is, the Gongsun family.

If it weren't for Pei Yu when he came back from Langya that day, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape death, since the people of the Gongsun family could find him, he would definitely be able to find Wang Pingyue.

All in all, Wang Pingyue's death must be inseparable from the Gongsun family.

In addition to the Gongsun family, Ning Xiaochuan also had a huge suspicion in his heart about Gao Xian, the king of the East China Sea, that is, Cheng Hao's words, how did the Gongsun family know his whereabouts.

With Pei Yu here, even the Zhongfu, which directly belongs to the royal family, couldn't find his whereabouts, how did the Gongsun family find out so quickly, and only Gao Xian knew about his return to Guangling except for Yu Xining.

But he will never have an answer to this doubt.

……

Three days later, Han Zhan and Liu En set off for the north, Ning Xiaochuan looked at Han Zhan and bowed slightly, "You have to cultivate martial arts after you go back, you are the son-in-law of the Legalist family, and the future Legalist will have to look at you." ”

Han Zhan smiled and looked at Ning Xiaochuan reluctantly, "I know, but you have to be careful when you go to Suzhou, if you need me for something, you can write a letter, brother, I will definitely arrive." ”

Ning Xiaochuan patted Han Zhan's shoulder, "If it's really the day, I will definitely let you come." ”

Liu En silently packed his bags, Nie Hongyi walked to Liu En's side, rubbed Liu En with his shoulder, Liu En looked at Nie Hongyi with a puzzled expression, "Miss Nie, is there something wrong?" ”

Nie Hongyi under the mask smiled lightly, "It's okay, there is something I want to say to Liu Gongzi." ”

"Whatever happens, just say it." Ryu said puzzled.

Nie Hongyi said softly, "Han Gongzi is a good person, don't just miss it, even if you accompany him all the way, you are just a brother, and if you want to be his relative or family, you have to show your true self in front of him." ”

Hearing Nie Hongyi's words, Liu En's face turned red suddenly, and then she looked at Nie Hongyi with a strange look, and she endured it for a long time before she said, "How are you ......?"

"Don't worry, I'm not talking nonsense." Nie Hongyi said and said, "Remember what I said, let's go, and look forward to our meeting in the future." ”

Liu En also smiled and nodded, this time her smile was not deliberately covered up before, and if she looked closely, it was the smile of a young woman.

Han Zhan and Liu En turned over and got on their horses, and Han Zhan said goodbye to Ning Xiaochuan, "Brother Ning, don't say goodbye, I wish you a smooth journey ahead." ”

Ning Xiaochuan arched his head and said, "Don't ...... here."

At sunset, looking at the backs of Han Zhan and Liu En, Ning Xiaochuan was still a little reluctant in his heart, but there was a banquet in the world, and they parted today in order to see each other better in the future.

"Childe, when are we leaving?" Kong Zhenxuan sighed.

Ning Xiaochuan looked up at the sky and muttered, "Tomorrow, we will set off for the south." ”

……

Suzhou, a suburb of Jinning.

Gongsun Chongzheng, who failed to assassinate Ning Xiaochuan, rushed to the city with his subordinates behind him with a depressed face, complaining about this carelessness along the way.

Gongsun Chong was furious when he thought of this, but until now he didn't understand why Pei Yu was involved with Ning Xiaochuan.

At this moment, a group of figures rushed over, and Gongsun Chong instantly became vigilant, and when these people came to him, Gongsun Chong let down his vigilance, because it was the people from their Gongsun family who came.

The subordinate at the head of the group bowed his hand to Gongsun Chong and said, "Second master, the head of the family asked me to give this to you." ”

After speaking, he handed a letter to Gongsun Chong, and Gongsun Chong took the letter suspiciously, "What's the situation, it's all at the door, and someone will come to deliver the letter." ”

When Gongsun Chong finished reading the letter, his face turned blue instantly, and his arms were bruised, "Good for you......
