Chapter 33: I'll Carry You Back

Song Yu pulled out a few potatoes from the charcoal fire that was about to be extinguished in the stove.

Picking up one and flipping it back and forth, Sihasha blew off the ashes of the grass and trees on it, handed it to Xiao Qing, and asked casually, "When did this thing come in?" ”

Xiao Qing, who was still maintaining her disguised attire, glanced at him a little strangely, and asked a little cutely, "What do you mean?" ”

Song Yu said: "It's this potato, when did it start to come in?" ”

The world he is in, this thing should have been passed over in the sixteenth century, that is, the Ming Dynasty.

So he was a little curious about this culture, which was almost the same, very close to the parallel world of the Southern Song Dynasty...... How can there be potatoes?

Xiao Qing still looked puzzled and said, "It's been there since ancient times!" ”

Since ancient times?

Song Yu was a little confused, and suddenly thought that the changes in writing in this world were also directly over the obscure oracle bone inscriptions, golden inscriptions, and small seals...... It started with the official book.

It feels a little weird.

He looked at Xiao Qing: "What about tomatoes and peppers?" ”

That's right, Song Yu has seen these things recently, and he didn't pay much attention to them at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he feels a little strange.

Of course, ordinary people are unlikely to have it because of the season.

But whether it is the Huang family or Cuifanglou's dining table, there are them.

"It's been around since ancient times!" Xiao Qing looked at Song Yu with a puzzled expression, "Isn't this common sense?" ”

"It's just a whim, I want to go back to the source, but also to liven up the atmosphere, so that you don't get so nervous......" When she had just killed that person, Xiao Qing was obviously a little scared.

Song Yu said with a smile, leaving behind the curiosity about the world in his mind.

"I didn't expect you to appear in front of me in this way today, and I really have to thank you for speaking of it."

"Don't thank you and me like this, and even if I don't come, you can solve it yourself."

Xiao Qing carefully peeled off the potato skin, blew it twice, and took a bite gently, her beautiful eyes were full of satisfaction.

"It's delicious!" She said.

"You can't have eaten it, have you?" Song Yu glanced at her.

"Of course I've eaten it, but I've never eaten this kind of ......," Xiao Qing pointed to the stove where the coals were about to go out.

"Look at you, you don't look like a majestic messenger in the Demon Prison Division, but more like a pampered eldest lady since childhood." Song Yu said.

"What, I'm not pampered, and it's hard to learn martial arts!" Xiao Qing retorted seriously.

She looked at Song Yu, who had added some fine wood to the stove and was rekindled by the fire reflecting his handsome face, and said: "If you want to insist that I am the eldest lady, it's not impossible, my grandfather Xiao Liang was a veteran of the Three Dynasties ......."

……

When she received the information before, she was surprised to find that Song Yu was involved.

Without any hesitation, the information was burned on the spot, and then it was too late to clean up, so it was simply easy to come out.

At that time, I was anxious, because according to the intelligence, someone had already sneaked into the old house on the outskirts of Song Yu for several days!

"After I went out, I went to the martial arts hall first, but I couldn't find you, but I heard about your recent deeds, you are talented and dazzling......"

Xiao Qing slowly nibbled on the baked potatoes and said softly.

Looking closely, the traces of disguise on her face are still there, far less natural than when they first met.

"Actually, the most important task of my visit here is to investigate a few antique dealers related to the demon clan......"

Speaking of this, she also seemed a little embarrassed, and smiled apologetically at Song Yu.

"You still have a lot of tasks...... Song Yu also wanted to laugh a little, and then looked at her suspiciously: "Demon clan? ”

Xiao Qing nodded: "That's what I said." ”

"Who would have thought that one of the pieces of information would be related to you...... But rest assured, all sources have been cut off by me, and no one will know about them anymore. ”

Xiao Qingxing's eyes looked at Song Yu brightly.

Song Yu frowned slightly: "Cut off?" What do you mean? ”

Xiao Qing said: "There are not many people who know about this matter, not counting me, there are three in total, two of them have died in your hands, antique dealer Zhao Bo, and this ...... just now"

"His name is Li Qiu, he is a showman, he has failed many examinations, and then he was taken by Lin Hui, the deputy envoy of the North Road Transfer, and he stayed by his side, so he can be regarded as one of his henchmen."

Song Yuxin said that this guy didn't lie to me.

"The third one, who is also Lin Hui's person, I went to see him before leaving the city to get more detailed information. He told me that you might have a seal of authenticity on you, and that your recent sudden rise to fame must have something to do with it. ”

"I said that you can't just wronged others, but he said that what does it matter, if you kill a grass people, you will kill them, even if you kill them wrongly, who can do anything?"

"So I killed him."

When she said this, Xiao Qing's voice trembled slightly: "Lin Hui, the deputy envoy of the North Road Transfer, has another identity, he is the head of the Demon Supervision Division in the north. ”

Song Yu looked at her, and a wave of emotion surged in his heart.

This eldest lady, who may not have even killed chickens since she was a child, and her fingers do not touch the spring water, came out on a mission for the first time and was the first person to kill...... It's because of him.

"Didn't you say that you should repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with integrity?"

"Besides, that man wants to hurt you, he deserves to die."

"It's not that I don't dare to kill people, and when I find the traces of the enemy, aren't I also brave enough to follow?"

"It's a pity that I haven't fought, otherwise I won't let any of them go!"

Xiao Qing said with a serious face, saying that she was actually very bold.

Song Yu looked at her and said in his heart that if you are really so bold, with your cultivation, you will not be planted in the hands of the Saibei Tang Sect that day.

There is a high probability that he did not dare to make a dead hand during the fight.

Thinking about it this way, she was able to kill a person for herself......

picked up another potato, blew off the wood ash on it, peeled off half of the skin, and handed it to Xiao Qing: "Then have you ever thought that the person who asked you to investigate this matter is your father-in-law who adopted you since childhood." ”

Xiao Qing took it, took a bite lightly, lowered her eyelids, and her long and curly thick eyelashes shook lightly twice, and said, "Song Yu, I'll only tell you about this matter." ”

Song Yu looked at her.

Xiao Qing said: "I suspect that my father-in-law's true intention is because he noticed something, so he wanted me to investigate. The so-called collusion between the antique dealer and the demon clan is just an excuse for him to cover it up to the outside world. ”

"Before leaving, he repeatedly told me that no matter what I encounter, I must only watch, listen, and not do anything about antique dealers, and even if my heart is angry, I must hold back."

"Let me remember that this time I came to Hanjiang because someone accused the Qi Wangfu of plotting reactionary trends, so I came to go through the motions and went home......"

"Now that I think about it, he probably knows something."

"Huh?" Song Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Qing with some puzzlement.

In fact, according to what she just said, a simple map of events has been formed in his mind!

Li Chaoen, a powerful eunuch who leaned towards the government and the opposition, inadvertently discovered some secrets from an ancient seal, just like Jianjian said, from which spiritual power could be extracted.

No matter how powerful a eunuch is, he is a rootless person.

But if you can become an immortal, you must be able to grow again...... It's about longevity, but it's also about the dignity of men.

Driven by this kind of motivation, is it very reasonable to let the people below look for it through the power in your hands?

After all, even the things that Lin Hui, the deputy envoy of the transfer, and his subordinate Li Qiu could know, how could the high-ranking and powerful Li Chaoen not know?

can see Xiao Qing's reaction, it seems to be ...... Isn't that the case?

"My father-in-law said before that my family was destroyed back then, not because of political enemies, but because the Northern Tang Gate learned that my family had a mysterious seal, and he had a bad idea......

"Do you have it at home?" Song Yu was a little surprised.

"Well, my father-in-law and my grandfather entered a suspected cultivator's underground palace together many years ago, and several people have obtained this kind of seal there, although no one can crack it, but they all know that it must be a treasure."

"Long after the accident in my family, my father-in-law finally cracked the mystery, as long as I stepped into the transformation of energy, I could extract special energy from it for cultivation, he asked me to work hard and turn around and give me his own."

Song Yu's heart sank, what Xiao Qing revealed at this moment was too much information!

He asked, "Did your stepfather say who they were back then...... Have you ever got this kind of stamp? ”

Xiao Qing nodded: "My father-in-law said that they were together with the two emperors of Northern Zhao who were captured, and they were coerced by a large number of officers and soldiers to go to Northern Qi, and on the way, a group of tiger soldiers tried to rescue them, and launched a surprise attack on the border of the Cold River. ”

"In the end, we failed because we were outnumbered, and he and my grandfather were lucky to be rescued by a few Tiger Ben soldiers, and in the process of escaping, we inadvertently entered the underground palace and escaped the enemy's pursuit."

"Later, those Tiger Ben soldiers died in the battle because of the main general, and Beizhao also died, and they dispersed in frustration, and their father-in-law did not know their whereabouts, and they couldn't find anyone to repay their kindness."

Xiao Qing looked at Song Yu: "Since that antique dealer and Lin Hui's people are all eyeing you, it means that your father or ancestor may be one of the people who saved my father-in-law and grandfather back then!" ”

Song Yu shook his head with a wry smile and said: "My father has joined the Tiger Army, but it was during the Nanzhao period, and he died on the battlefield more than ten years ago, my grandfather doesn't know, he was no longer there when I was born." ”

"I did have a seal at home, I don't know if you said it, I asked the antique dealer before, and I went home to rummage and found that it had been lost, and I regretted it very much, but I didn't expect this group of people to give up."

"One after another came at me."

Xiao Qing looked at Song Yu with a pair of starry eyes and said, "My father-in-law said that behind the Tang Gate in Saibei, there may be one of the Tiger Ben soldiers who entered the underground palace back then. ”

"After discovering the secret of the seal, he quickly became powerful, and then he wanted to get all the ......"

"Otherwise, how could they have known that my grandfather and stepfather each had one each?"

"My father-in-law said that if he hadn't lived in seclusion all the year round and his whereabouts were uncertain, I was afraid that he would have been killed a long time ago, but even so, he still encountered two dangers, so he ......"

She said seriously, "Whether you are the one or not, I must erase all intelligence and information related to you." ”

Song Yu was stunned for a moment: "You can't trust your father-in-law?" ”

Xiao Qing shook his head: "He and my grandfather are friends of life and death, and he raised me since I was a child, of course I believe him." But I can't trust others, Lin Hui is not my father-in-law's person, he explained to me before I came, and guarded against them. ”

"Although my father-in-law is the chief manager of the Demon Prison Division, the internal affairs of the Demon Prison Division are very complicated."

"Do you remember the last words Li Qiu said before he died?"

Song Yu nodded, and at that time, Li Qiu looked at Xiao Qing with a desperate expression and roared: "It turns out that you are not our person......"

Xiao Qing said: "I have extremely high authority from the Demon Prison Division, plus this is a secret operation, they only know that the envoy is very big through special marks, but they don't know who I am, probably thinking that I was also sent by Lin Hui, after all, this is their territory." ”

"But the fact that I met the people of the Saibei Tang Sect before may have been taken by surprise, and once the news reaches Lin Hui, it will definitely arouse his vigilance."

Xiao Qing was a little annoyed: "I have too little experience, I just came to you, and I almost took a step slower, if it weren't for your excellent swordsmanship......

Speaking of this, Xiao Qing couldn't help but glance out.

Through the door, you can't see the body of Li Qiu that was temporarily left in the courtyard by Song Yu and has not yet been disposed of.

But she still looked at Song Yu with some suspicion and said, "By the way, then Li Qiu is ...... There are no sword wounds, do you? ”

Song Yu looked at her and said, "There is one thing, I will only tell you." ”

Xiao Qing was slightly stunned, and then looked at him with bright eyes.

Song Yu: "Actually, I was born with divine power since I was a child, and I can't practice martial arts when I am weak, that is what my uncle Huang Ping used to confuse others, the purpose is to want me to be a blockbuster when the time comes." ”

"So that means you're actually a real master? You've ......"

Xiao Qing originally wanted to say that you are already excellent in swordsmanship, and you are born with divine power, what kind of swordsmanship are you looking for me?

But when the words came to his lips, he was a diligent and studious person who wanted to learn...... I'll teach him.

Men want to save face, in case I say it, he is embarrassed, he says that he can't learn, wouldn't I be sorry for the life-saving benefactor?

Song Yu smiled and said, "Except for my uncle, only you know this secret." ”

The stove fire reflected Xiao Qing's face, a little red, and she nodded lightly: "I won't say it to anyone." ”

Song Yu looked at her and said, "In this way, Lin Hui and his subordinates, as well as those antique dealers, are ...... with the Northern Tang Gate There may well be some kind of connection. ”

Xiao Qing snorted: "My father-in-law may also be suspicious of this, so he asked me to only watch and listen, and then use the high-level authority of the Demon Supervisor Division to obtain relevant information, and just go back and bring it back." ”

"But now it seems to be ...... I've already been involved, and I don't know how Lin Hui will react when he finds out that several of his subordinates are all dead in Hanjiang City, and it just so happens that I am here again. ”

Song Yu looked at her and said, "What does it have to do with us?" ”

"I'm just a weak young man who knows how to do swordsmanship, and has just recently made a name for himself; You are the messenger of the dark line who has come to investigate whether the Qi Palace's rebellion is a rebellion. ”

"As a result, before entering the city, he was ambushed by the people of the Northern Tang Gate, and he was seriously injured, and he couldn't recover for a month or two."

"Listen to me, turn around and send a letter openly, and show your eldest lady's domineering, even if you can't, you've always seen it, right?"

Xiao Qing's expression was a little dumbfounded.

Song Yu continued: "Reprimanded Lin Hui, saying that he is both the deputy envoy of the North Road and the high-level of the Demon Supervision Division, but he can't even guarantee the safety of the Hanjiang Territory, what is he eating?" ”

"Ask him if he wants to do it, if you don't want to do it, you can go back and tell your father-in-law and change places for him!"

"As for his people dead, what the hell is it to you? You've never used the high-level authority of the Demon Supervisor to contact those people! ”

Xiao Qing was completely stupid, she didn't expect this kind of operation.

Song Yu stood up, patted the ashes on his hands, and said, "Leave the rest to me to deal with, by the way, where is the body of the third person you said was killed?" ”

Xiao Qing said: "I was in a hurry to find you, so I ...... I didn't have time to deal with it, and there was ...... I, I didn't know how to deal with it, I was panicked. ”

Song Yu looked at her and said gently: "It's okay, leave it to me, let's go, let's deal with this first." ”

As he spoke, he took out a bundle of ropes from the house, took Xiao Qing outside, tied up Li Qiu's body, which had already frozen, picked it up casually, and then looked at Xiao Qing: "Is your body okay?" ”

Xiao Qing nodded: "It's been much better, it's no big deal." ”

Song Yu glanced at the moonlit and starry sky above his head, and said in his heart that it would be good if there was another heavy snow in the next two days, otherwise the other party would be able to find a lot of problems by following the footprints.

But at the moment, he didn't care about so much, so he carried the corpse, took Xiao Qing with him, and flew directly towards the upper reaches of the Hanjiang River outside the city.

Xiao Qing's light skills are excellent, but because her body has not healed, she came in a hurry before, and the consumption is too large, resulting in a slightly slow speed, but fortunately, she can barely keep up.

Looking at Song Yu's movements, it was she who taught that set of light skills, and at this moment she was rushing forward with a person, the speed was amazing, and she couldn't help but be a little staggered, his talent was really good!

When the two came to the riverside, their foreheads were slightly sweaty.

Song Yu skillfully tied the corpse to the big stone and threw it into the river.

"The antique dealer last time...... Zhao Bo, his subordinates wanted to kill me, saying that he would tie a big stone to my body and throw it into the river, and there would be no trace, so after I killed them, I also learned this trick. ”

Looking at Xiao Qing, whose little face was pale, Song Yu explained.

"That's ...... It's good, but I don't want to eat fish again. Xiao Qing said.

Song Yu: "......" I don't want to eat either!

Then the two quietly returned to the city and came to the residence of the third person who was killed by Xiao Qing.

The scene was well preserved, and the man still remained the same as when he died, with a pair of eyes staring at the boss, leaving a residue of disbelief.

I probably never dreamed that the envoy sent by the deputy envoy would kill him without warning.

If he knew that the envoy was not only not sent by the deputy envoy, but had also been rescued by Song Yu, he was afraid that the moment they met, he would have turned around and fled without hesitation.

Song Yu looked at Xiao Qing, whose face was getting more and more pale, and said, "Why don't you go back and rest, I don't think you're in a very good state." ”

"No, this is our common secret, I want to accompany you!" Xiao Qing insisted.

Song Yu thought about it and didn't say anything more.

At this time, it was late at night, and the city of Hanjiang was quiet, except for the east of the city, where Cuifang Building was located, it was still lively, and the room was already quiet.

Song Yu wrapped the person's body in a sheet, disposed of all the traces in the room, and took Xiao Qing to the cold river in the city again.

It was the new home of the antique dealer and his men last time.

It's a good place with lots of suitable stones.

They can also be companions.

After throwing this person into the river and dealing with it all, Xiao Qing was obviously a little physically exhausted and couldn't stand steadily.

"Song Yu, I seem to ...... A little dizzy. ”

Song Yu knew that this was caused by the subsidence of the stress response and the fact that she forcibly performed light exercises regardless of her body.

A little distressed, he walked up to her and squatted down: "It's okay, I'll carry you back, go home and sleep well, and you'll be fine tomorrow." ”
