Chun Yuji watched her figure disappear before retracting his gaze, and his heart was stunned.

He has been with Hua for so many days, and he has long regarded her as a relative. This girl is smart, intelligent and kind, and bold and careful, not panicked, and seems to have a martial arts, and her ability to fight is much higher than his. So Qihua told him not to follow, and he relied on her.

He took a few steps back, stopped, tilted his head to look at the sky, and a series of questions lingered in his heart, "What is Ma Gui going to do in this wilderness?" What did Little Madam Qin give him? What is the relationship between the two? ”

He hesitated for a moment, but could not resist the desire to find out, so he ran up the hill again, looked into the distance for a while, straightened his clothes, and ran towards the river.

It was already dark, and the Lu River turned a corner here, and the water gradually slowed down. There were a few wild willows on the shore, and a wooden boat was tethered, and there was no one on the boat, and it was washed back and forth by the current.

Chun Yuji didn't dare to get too close, so he hid in the bushes and quietly looked up, but there was no one. Qihua said that he followed Ma Gui here, and he felt that Ma Gui should be near here, so he lay in the grass and waited quietly.

The sky was getting overcast, with occasional drops of rain. Chun Yu secretly complained bitterly, for fear of heavy rain. Unexpectedly, a gust of wind blew, and the dark clouds were dispersed, and the moonlight penetrated through the cracks in the clouds, and was sparsely reflected in the river. He also breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't see anyone for a long time, and I didn't feel sleepy. He couldn't help but yawn, thinking badly, so he blinked vigorously, shook his groggy head, and reached out to wipe the cool droplets of water from the thatch on his face, cheered up, and looked ahead.

He pondered, wait a while, if Ma Gui still doesn't show up, he will leave him alone and go back to the Qin family manor by himself.

Just as he was thinking, a man jumped into the wooden boat by the river.

Chun Yu suddenly came to his senses, leaned out half of his body, and opened his eyes wide, trying to tell whether the person was Ma Gui or not. However, far away, the moonlight is sometimes obscured by floating clouds, and it is really not clear to see.

He hunched over his waist and carefully moved his steps closer to the river. At this moment, the clouds drifted away, and a piece of moonlight fell on the river, and he looked intently and recognized that the man was Ma Gui.

Ma Gui didn't notice anyone peeping, and bent over to rummage through things in the cabin. After a while, he seemed satisfied, and got up and strode to the bow of the boat, to untie the rope.

Chun Yu made a few mistakes, it seems that Ma Gui is going to rock the boat and leave, so whether to stop Ma Gui in the past, or let him go, I can't make up my mind.

He clenched his fists and thumped the mud floor, thinking that it would be good if he was there.

was wandering, and suddenly saw another figure swishing out of the shore. He was taken aback and stared intently.

I saw that the man was dressed in a dark black robe, masked with black cloth, and his skills were agile, and he was already standing on the shore of the bow of the ship in the blink of an eye.

Ma Gui also seemed to be caught off guard, and hurriedly took two steps back, and the wooden boat was swayed by his stepping.

The sudden change made Chun Yu a few confused. He was still hesitant to come forward to question Ma Gui, but there would be another uninvited guest, and he didn't know what his relationship was with Ma Gui. It seems that we can only hide for the time being and wait and see what happens.

The man in Xuanyi pointed at Ma Gui and said something angrily, and Ma Gui seemed to be trying his best to justify.

Chun Yu couldn't tell the difference, "Could it be that this person is the strange man who talked to the little lady in the manor?" He chuckled inwardly.

The grass was lush by the river, and he quietly moved forward a dozen paces, and finally he could hear some talking.

At this time, the two argued, and their voices became louder and louder, only to hear the man in Xuanyi angrily scolded: "You thief, you seek money and kill people, but you can think that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the sky will spare anyone." ”

"Uncle Tan?" Chun Yuji's face changed dramatically when he heard this voice, and his heart beat wildly.

Although Uncle Tan was wearing a strong suit and masking his face with a black cloth, he did not deliberately change his voice, so Chun Yuji heard it.

At this time, Ma Gui's defense voice came again: "How could I have murdered for money, I am-" Before the words were finished, Uncle Tan had already shown his long sword.

Ma Gui seemed to be prepared, bent down and took out a ring-headed knife from the boat, and jumped ashore.

Chun Yu was stunned a few times, the two of them didn't say a word, and they actually drew their swords to each other. He couldn't understand how the two of them could have met together.

The pale moonlight swept the figures of the two into the river, the water rippled, and the mottled figures of the two also fluctuated and drifted, overlapping and sometimes separated, and the sound of swords colliding was endless.

Chun Yu crouched in the grass a few times, and he didn't dare to come out, watching the two fight.

After a few rounds, Uncle Tan clearly had the upper hand, and a sword flew up and down, approaching the vital point.

Ma Gui was out of breath and struggled to dance the big knife, but he was already clumsy, and his hands and feet slowed down. Hearing only a loud bang, Ma Gui's ring-headed knife came out of his hand, flew more than a zhang away, and pierced the ground, the handle of the knife kept shaking.

Ma Gui fell to his knees, kept kowtowing, trembling and begging: "Daxia spare his life." ”

Uncle Tan sneered: "You want me to spare your life, do you know who I am?" ”

Ma Gui looked frightened and shook his head again and again.

Uncle Tan sneered: "You don't even know who I am, and you still want me to spare you." ”

Ma Gui opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer.

Chun Yuji secretly said in his heart: "Ma Gui doesn't know who you are, and you still want to kill him." He always felt that Ma Gui was an insider in the Qin Mansion's murder case, so he hoped to ask Ma Gui in person, of course he didn't want him to die like this.

Ma Gui was eager to survive, and he had an idea, and said: "You and I don't know each other, so there should be no grievances." There are many treasures on that ship, and the hero can take them. ”

Uncle Tan looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, slowly bent down, stared at Ma Gui with blazing eyes, and sneered: "Am I here to rob the treasure?" ”

Ma Gui's face turned pale with fright, and he shook his head again and again.

"You and I have no grudges, but if you murder Ruoyun, you are my enemy." Uncle Tan straightened up and said slowly.

"You are from the Qin family's manor." Ma Gui only then understood what was going on.

Uncle Tan snorted and nodded: "You actually colluded with that vicious woman to murder Ruoyun, the crime is unforgivable." ”

Ma Gui was terrified, and regardless of the long sword against his chest, he stood up, his hands shaking uncontrollably: "Hero, listen to me, that's not the case." He said as he stepped back.

"Ahh

"Uncle Tan killed him." Chun Yu's face was surprised. Before long, another question arose in his heart: "Why didn't he kill Ma Gui without asking for an understanding." Then he thought, "Maybe he already knows." "When I looked again, there was no one by the river.

The dark clouds in the night sky gathered together again, obscuring the moonlight, and the wilderness was black, and the cold wind swept low through the thatch, stirring up a small noise.

Chun Yuji shuddered, and his mind went blank. He stood up and stunned for a while, then subconsciously turned around and walked towards the Qin family's manor.

The Luhe River in the west of the city is more than ten miles away from the Qin family manor, and Chun Yu walked all the way, and it was midnight when he returned to the manor, and he went straight to the backyard.

On the way back, he had been worried about Qihua, blaming himself for not letting the girl go to the prison alone, and hoping that she would successfully rescue Ruoyun.

The backyard was deserted, with no lights. Chun Yu went back to his house first, thinking that he could see Qihua and Ruoyun, but the house in the black hole was empty, so he was a little panicked, thinking that if Qihua rescued Ruoyun, he should have come back a long time ago.

He sat in the room for a while, still uneasy, then got up and wandered again, deciding to go to Ruoyun's house to have a look.

He came to the downstairs of Ruoyun's residence, which was also dark and blind, and there was no one, and his heart became more and more frightened. Looking around, it was gloomy, and the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops and the hissing of autumn insects was full of ears, and only the small building of Little Madam Qin was lit up a little farther away.

He hesitated for a moment, then walked over the corner.
