Hearing Cui Jing's question, Uncle Wei was stunned for a moment: "You don't know?" ”

At that time, he and Chang Suining had just come out of Hezhou, not far away, and met Cui Jing and Chang Kuo, and then they walked all the way, along the way...... Cui Jing must have already seen the relationship between the little girl dressed as a man and Chang Kuo, so he didn't even ask Chang Kuo half a sentence in private, or did he inquire about anything a little?

Cui Jing: "I don't know. ”

"Cui Ling'an......" Wei Shuyi couldn't help asking: "Are you born not to be curious?" ”

Cui Jing: "Why should I inquire into other people's private affairs that have nothing to do with me? ”

Wei Shuyi looked at him for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "So it seems...... Chang Niangzi is indeed not an irrelevant person as far as Cui Dadu is concerned. ”

Cui Jing ignored his ridicule: "You haven't answered me yet, why did she appear in Hezhou at that time, and what happened." ”

"At that time...... Wei Shuyi just opened the head of the two words, and suddenly hesitated: "What you just said is very right, this is her private matter, so if I rashly tell you, what if she turns around and blames me for talking too much?" ”

Wei Shuyi had a look of "I should keep it secret for her".

Cui Jing: "If I want to find out, it's the same if I find another way to inquire." ”

"That's right...... You can go and ask Chang Jialangjun them, and they will not hide it from you. Wei Shuyi thought about it, weighed it and proposed: "It's just that in this way, it will inevitably delay time, it's better to do this, if you look back and ask Chang Niangzi, you will say that you found it yourself from elsewhere, don't confess me, just if you and I haven't seen it tonight, how about it?" ”

"Hmm." Cui Jing simply nodded.

The two hit it off, and Wei Shuyi spoke with peace of mind.

"Actually, at that time, Chang Niangzi was abducted to Hezhou."

Cui Jing was surprised when he heard this.

That's what happened to her.

"At that time, I went to Hezhou on the secret order of His Majesty to secretly investigate the evidence of the crime of assassinating Shi Zhao Fu in Hezhou, so as to use Zhao Fu to get rid of the Pei family......" Wei Shuyi briefly explained the experience: "At that time, Yu Gong's manpower had traced Chang Niangzi to the Hezhou area, so he also secretly asked me to pay attention to Chang Niangzi's whereabouts. ”

"You saved her?" Cui Jing asked subconsciously.

Uncle Wei smiled and shook his head: "Is she the one who sits and waits for me to save her, and she is out of trouble by herself...... And it did me a great favor, so that I was able to complete the errand in Hezhou exceptionally smoothly. ”

He told how Chang Suining was seriously injured and trafficked the kidnapper couple in Zhoujia Village, how he left the confession in his car, and so on.

In the darkness, Cui Jing's emotions were unclear.

He suppressed other thoughts for the time being, and only asked at the moment: "Why was she abducted to Hezhou, is it related to Yao Tingwei's abandoned ex-wife Pei Shi?" ”

At Dayun Temple that day, Yao Tingwei's daughter once said in public that it was not the first time that her mother Pei had killed Chang Sui Ning - if you calculate the time, it is not difficult to come up with this guess.

"Governor Cui guessed right." Wei Shuyi nodded: "It was because of the assassination of the Pei family that Chang Niangzi fell into the hands of the abductor by mistake. ”

"Wei Shilang saw her for the first time......" Cui Jing hesitated for a rare moment in the process of speaking, and he seemed to have a certain courage silently, so that he was able to open his mouth and ask the next short sentence-

"Has she ever behaved in a way that is out of the ordinary?"

In the sound of the rain, the young man asked almost solemnly.

Wei Shuyi didn't answer for a while, but looked at Cui Jing thoughtfully for a moment.

After a moment, an incomprehensible smile appeared in his eyes: "Today, the saint also asked me this question...... It seems that I came to find Governor Cui tonight, and I really found the right person. ”

Cui Jing really knows the secret he doesn't know.

Cui Jing was silent for a while, only silently gathered his ten fingers, waiting for his answer.

"What is the difference of Chang Niangzi...... She was a girl who could get out of trouble on her own in that situation, and that was strange enough, wasn't it? Uncle Wei smiled: "It's not a secret, I was curious because of this, and I tried Chang Niangzi in every way, but Chang Niangzi was cautious, and I repeatedly found nothing." But she was too lazy to deal with me afterwards, and gave me an explanation that I couldn't try any further—"

Cui Jing looked at Wei Shuyi.

His intuition told him that there might be an answer to this "explanation" that he needed.

Wei Shuyi: "Chang Niangzi told me that when she was abducted, she was in a coma for a long time due to an overdose of drugs, which hurt her brain, and sometimes her mind was confused, and she couldn't remember many things in the past......"

Cui Jing was stunned, and his voice was rare and gentle: "Don't remember?" ”

Uncle Wei bowed his head.

At this moment, Cui Jing only felt that the sound of wind and rain suddenly stopped.

There was no heaving on his face, but the sound of his heart beating in his chest was like thunder, as if it drowned out all the sounds between heaven and earth.

The guesswork is a long one.

From the beginning of the seed of speculation, he has been feeling its growth little by little, it has grown from a delicate green shoot to a straight sapling in the sun, rain and dew, and now this sapling is suddenly and rapidly stretched up, its branches and leaves are luxuriant until it covers the sky, and in an instant it has become a towering tree, and there is no possibility of being shaken by anyone or anything.

Cui Jing turned around with a slight sluggishness, facing out of the corridor.

The wind blew between his dark and deep eyebrows, and the coolness between heaven and earth hit him, but at this moment it was like a gift to him.

He was born in a high place, with everything that others can't reach, although he has never been superior to others, but the identity of the eldest grandson of the Cui family makes it difficult for him to have a sense of admiration, even in the face of all the praise and rewards of today's saints, he has never been half of the mood of being given.

But at this moment, he felt extremely clearly that he was given the greatest kindness by this heaven and earth.

He looked in the direction of the Celestial Maiden Tower.

In the early spring and February of this year, the Celestial Maiden Pagoda was struck by lightning, the formation was damaged, and the statue of the Celestial Maiden was cracked.

At that time, thousands of miles away in Hezhou, she saved herself in danger and forgot the past......

When the statue of the Celestial Maiden was destroyed, the deceased had returned.

Everything has been traced for a long time.

So, somehow, the saint had the same guess and went to investigate what happened to her in February......

"How much does the sage know about her experience in Hezhou now?" After Cui Jing settled down, he asked.

Wei Shuyi also turned to look at the rain curtain outside the corridor: "At the beginning, Pei's Yi, the sage only knew about it, and did not ask in detail, this time it suddenly made people investigate Chang Niangzi in detail, but after a long time, the couple who abducted Chang Niangzi at the beginning, and the few people who witnessed Chang Niangzi's escape from Zhoujia Village, have been executed......

Cui Jing: "But there should be those people's confessions above the Eucalyptus Sect—"

Wei Shuyi: "Unfortunately, at that time, I was entrusted by Yu Gong to leave traces of Chang Niangzi's abduction, so as not to be detrimental to her reputation...... Therefore, when I handled the Zhoujia Village Peddler's Eucalyptus, I specially concealed the confession related to Chang Niangzi. ”

Cui Jing turned his head slightly to look at Wei Shuyi.

The person in the know is dead, there is no trace of the Eucalyptus sect, and all traces have been erased, so at most, the saint only found out about her abduction to Hezhou, but it is impossible to find out what she did at that time to save herself from trouble and counteract others......

Cui Jing: "So, the sage asked Wei Shilang about the details of this matter——"

That's why Wei Shuyi said that he asked the same thing as the sage.

"Yes." Wei Shuyi said: "I am with the saint, I was entrusted by Yu Gong to find someone, and I took the person with me after finding it, because I didn't know the Chang family girl before, and I didn't notice that Chang Niangzi had any strange words and deeds worth mentioning, even if it was a little abnormal, in my opinion, it was just an ordinary reaction after being frightened." ”

Cui Jing looked at him.

Therefore, Wei Shuyi covered up for her the process and details that would inevitably make the Holy Book Emperor suspicious.

"Wei Shilang doesn't plan to be a close minister of the Son of Heaven?" Cui Jing asked.

"The Son of Heaven also has friends." Wei Shuyi said with a smile: "And it's just an unfortunate past of my daughter's family, and it's not related to the overall situation of the country. ”

Are you friends too?

Facing those smiling eyes, Cui Jing asked, "But why does Wei Shilang think that this matter can't be discussed with the sage?" ”

"It's just the instinct of a smart man." Wei Shilang asked him with a smile: "Didn't Governor Cui have such an intuition?" ”

Cui Jing was noncommittal.

In his view, accurate intuition must come from many subtle clues and guesses.

But what Wei Shuyi can guess is destined to be limited, Wei Shuyi is a smart person who is rare in a hundred years, yes, but some things are far beyond the scope of ordinary people's cognition, and common sense is not easy to break through, unless you can get a glimpse of the opportunity-

If he hadn't been clear about the existence and mystery of the Heavenly Maiden Tower from beginning to end, no matter how he or the saint, it would have been impossible for him to have such a clear guess one after another.

Therefore, Wei Shuyi's intuition is probably to stay at the level of fear that talking too much will be detrimental to her.

And Cui Jing believes that this intuition that sounds limited is actually worth his careful consideration.

"I've said so much, but Governor Cui hasn't answered my original question." Wei Shuyi asked Cui Jing again: "Why did the sage suddenly pay so much attention to Chang Niangzi's experience in Hezhou?" ”

Cui Jing was silent for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I can't say anything about this." ”

I'm sorry?

Compared with Cui Jing's "can't say", the word "sorry" in this tone that can be called serious surprised Uncle Wei even more.

Cui Lingan will also say sorry to others?

And he said to him—

According to the usual way the two get along, at this time, Cui Lingan could reply to him lukewarmly, "I don't want to say", or just leave.

But Cui Jing was seriously "sorry" with him.

Uncle Wei sighed with surprise: "It seems that I have done a good deed to your liking this time, and you have made you feel sorry for me because of your own concealment......

Sure enough, no one can refuse sincerity, and Cui Lingan is no exception.

He seemed to really understand at this point.

Who does not like sincerity, but is tempted?

Wei Shuyi's thoughts drifted a little farther away, and after a while, he said, "It's okay, you have already told me a lot about this 'can't say'." ”

Cui Jing at least told him that this matter was not a trivial matter, and it was a secret matter that even he, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, should not know.

"In a position like you and me, there is always something that can't be said, and even so, I won't ask." Uncle Wei smiled and said as if he was very relieved: "Since it is related to her, you will definitely try your best to protect each other, and you must know what is best for her, so I will not worry about it for the time being." ”

Cui Jing bowed: "I will." ”

Then, he said to Uncle Wei: "Thank you Wei Shilang for this matter." ”

Uncle Wei was stunned and laughed.

What kind of luck did he have today, but Cui Lingan was sorry and thanked.

He seemed to think for a while, then shook his head and said: "Although Governor Cui regards Chang Niangzi as his sweetheart, it is just wishful thinking at the moment, and he has no name yet...... This generation of her words of thanks, there is no need. ”

Cui Jing didn't care about his ridicule: "I don't want to thank her, I'm thanking myself." ”

Seeing that this attack was ineffective, Uncle Wei nodded easily: "Wei understands." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand towards Cui Jing and saluted: "In this way, I also want to say thank you to Governor Cui Dadu." ”

Cui Jing looked at him defensively.

Wei Shuyi smiled and said, "Thank you Governor Cui for taking care of my friend like this." ”

"......" Cui Jing took his hand and looked at the rain and fog in front of him: "...... You don't have to thank me, even if my wishful thinking aside, she's my friend. ”

After that, he added: "She said it herself." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head slightly to look at Wei Shuyi, with a slight look of inquiry in his eyes - did she personally say that she wanted to be friends with Wei Shilang?

Uncle Wei, who was caught off guard and was stabbed, was silent for a while.

After a moment, I couldn't help sighing: "I said Cui Ling'an, can your apologies only last for these few words?" ”

Cui Jing said bluntly: "I've done my best." ”

The implication is that the other party is too suspicious.

Wei Shuyi wanted to say more, but heard Cui Jing say, "I need to go to the Heavenly Maiden Tower." ”

Seeing him turn around and leave, Wei Shuyi seemed to suddenly remember something, walked two steps quickly to follow, and said with a smile: "...... I am friends with Chang Niangzi, and Cui Dadu and Chang Niangzi are also friends, so you and I should also be friends? ”

It was about that trace of guilt that there was still a little bit of spark that had not been completely extinguished, Cui Jing actually said at this time: "...... Perhaps. ”

Wei Shuyi laughed and sighed: "I really came to the right place today, and I really gained a lot." ”

Cui Jing ignored him again, and the two walked out of the corridor together.

Yuan Xiang and Changji temporarily truce, Yuan Xiang took the first step to hold up the umbrella for his own governor, and looked at Changji with a squint.

After tossing for a while to open the old umbrella in the temple, Changji almost gritted his teeth with hatred, and he turned around to change to a better umbrella to carry close to him!

In the night rain, Cui Jing went to the Heavenly Maiden Tower.

The two warrior monks guarding the eaves outside the tower folded their hands together and silently bowed to him, and Cui Jing bowed his head and raised his feet into the tower.

In addition to the Holy Emperor and Ming Luo, who accompanied him, Wu Jue was also there in the tower.

"Cui Qing is here."

Cui Jing raised his hand and saluted: "Yes, Cui Jing sees Your Majesty." ”

"Cui Qing doesn't have to be polite." The Holy Book Emperor did not look at anyone, but only looked at the statue of the White Jade Heavenly Maiden, and said, "I summoned Cui Qing to come here, there is something to inquire about......

Cui Jingjing listened to the Holy Book Emperor continue.

How to choose, on the way here, he has already made a decision in his heart.

Wu Jie, who was standing by the jade pool, didn't know if he had heard any speculation, and subconsciously looked at Cui Jing at this time.

When Cui Jing raised his eyes, he met the eyes of Wuji, which contained the light of Buddha and Zen when he did not speak.

Cui Jing is uncertain at the moment.

Could it be that the Infinite Master has also noticed something, and has he said something to the saints?

Cui Jing was thinking about it, and the Holy Emperor had slowly spoken.
