"It's clear that his own son is not angry, and Cao Qin actually put all the blame on you as a woman, which is really hateful. ”

Facing Xiao Qing, whose appearance was completely ruined, Liu Xunyi's heart gushed out all kinds of feelings, although he has served the court for many years, although he can't talk about righteousness and righteousness, but at least good and evil, Liu Xunyi can still distinguish between right and wrong. The last thing he can tolerate is for the evildoers to be happy and happy, while the innocent will suffer in vain.

In the past, the Mozen family of three was like this, and so is Xiaoqing today.

"Being able to say these words shows that Childe is a bodhisattva heart, since my face ...... After becoming like this, it has been less than ten hours, but I have tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection, and the world is hot and cold......" Xiaoqing didn't want Liu Xunyi to be scared because of his appearance, so he timidly covered his face with the silk scarf again, and cried in a heartbroken voice, "Those guests who talk sweetly to me on weekdays all avoid me after seeing me, and some people even speak ill of me, even the sisters of Tianxianglou look disgusted when they see me, and the gossip behind my back is extremely mocking...... Now Xiaoqing can hear Childe say a fair word, even if it is worth dying......" Xiaoqing's voice trembled slightly, and the tears she kept falling were stained with the wounds that had not yet healed, making her more and more painful.

"Alas!" Although Liu Xunyi is sympathetic to Xiaoqing's experience, he is helpless, after all, the mistake has been made, he and Xiaoqing have never known each other, what can he say?

"Tomorrow, Xiaoqing will leave Tianxianglou and return to the township. Xiao Qing said with tears in his eyes, "I heard that Childe made a special trip to Xiaoqing, but it's a pity that Xiaoqing is useless and disappointed Childe tonight." ”

"It's not the girl's fault, and you don't have to blame yourself. Liu Xunyi sighed and said, "This is the sin created by Cao Qin's father and son, and they owe you." ”

"No, no, no!" Xiao Qing couldn't stop trembling as soon as he talked about the Cao family's father and son, and shook his head again and again, "This matter has nothing to do with anyone, Xiao Qing is to blame, if you want to blame it, you can only blame Xiao Qing's bad life, Cao Gongzi didn't have an accident sooner, didn't have an accident later, but something happened to me......"

Looking at Xiao Qing's thin body trembling, Liu Xunyi could feel the fear in her heart of Yuhutang and the Cao family's father and son from a few feet away, so that she didn't want to take revenge even if she was wronged, and she didn't even dare to hate.

"Childe, I'll go find other sisters for you to serve......"

"No need!" Liu Xunyi waved his hand, "You can sit down and talk to me!"

Xiao Qing hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't resist Liu Xunyi's insistence, so she had to sit opposite Liu Xunyi from a distance, because she was afraid that the smell of medicinal herbs and blood on her face would make Liu Xunyi nauseous.

"Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, although you have experienced such a catastrophe, but you can also get out of trouble from a place like Tianxianglou, which is a blessing in misfortune. Liu Xunyi smiled bitterly and comforted.

Xiao Qing smiled miserably and said: "I wanted to save more money here, and I would return to my hometown in the future to support my elderly parents, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen, and the little money I saved was afraid that even my face would not be healed." ”

"Didn't the old bustard and your sisters make up the money for you to settle down?" Liu Xunyi wondered, "After all, you were also the top brand of Tianxianglou and made a lot of money here." ”

Liu Xunyi's question seemed to arouse Xiaoqing's sadness again, and he laughed miserably: "Childe, do you know why you have to wait so long to see me just now?"

Hearing that Xiaoqing's preface did not match the afterword, Liu Xunyi shook his head suspiciously, but did not answer.

"Because my clothes and jewelry have already been taken away by Mother Yang, she said that these are all things from Tianxianglou, and I can't take them away, and she can let me stay here for one more day to see the doctor, which is already done to me. Xiaoqing explained, "So when Gongzi indicated that he wanted to see me, Mother Yang had to put together such a dress from other sisters for me to put on again." Saying that, Xiaoqing looked at himself as if laughing at himself.

It wasn't until this moment that Liu Xunyi suddenly found that Xiaoqing's skirt robe and jewelry didn't seem to fit well, and the matching of jewelry was even a little strange, as if it was improvised to wear.

"What a ruthless Tianxiang Building. Liu Xunyi sneered, "When you were in trouble, they used you as a cash cow, and now when you are in trouble, instead of helping, they have to fall into the well." ”

"This can't be blamed on them, after all, no one in Huodu wants to offend the Jade Tiger Hall. Xiao Qingdao, "Cao Tang mainly punishes me, who dares to help me without permission?" In fact, I can save this little life, and I am already very satisfied. ”

"Alas!" Liu Xunyi sighed again, he took out his money bag from his sleeve and threw it in front of Xiaoqing, saying, "You take these back to support your father, stay away from these places of right and wrong in the future, and live a peaceful life with your father!"

"Childe, this money ......"

"Take it!" Without waiting for Xiaoqing to refuse, Liu Xunyi had already opened his mouth and smiled, "Even if I don't give you this money, I'm afraid it will be cheaper for others." ”

Xiao Qing hesitated for a moment, then knelt on the ground with a "poof", kowtowed to Liu Xunyi and said, "Son's great kindness, Xiao Qing is unforgettable." ”

Liu Xunyi looked at Xiao Qing, who was grateful, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart: "Why is the gap between people so big? How can someone be bullied but have no hatred, but still have to be grateful to the enemy who didn't kill him." Can people really be humbled to such a state?"

"Xiaoqing, I want to ask you......" Liu Xunyi gathered his mind and said, "Who kidnapped Cao Gongzi in the early hours of this morning?"

Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, and asked quite jealously: "Why does Childe ask this? Could it be that Childe is from the Jade Tiger Hall?"

"Xiaoqing, you're leaving here tomorrow, so it's better that you still don't know about some things. Liu Xunyi said frankly, "But I can tell you that I am not from the Jade Tiger Hall. ”

Xiao Qing stood up suspiciously, hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking: "Actually, I don't know who those people are, the room was dark at that time, those people suddenly broke in violently, and directly dragged the sleeping Cao Gongzi away from the bed, everything came so fast that I didn't have time to react at all." ”

"That'...... Is there anything else that impresses you?" Liu Xunyi used the interrogation technique he learned from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion on Xiao Qing one by one, and tentatively led the inquiry, "For example, what strange sounds, such as the backs of those people, such as what blades do they carry?"

"By the way, that's a group of Khitans. Xiao Qing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly spoke, "Because they speak Khitan." ”

"Khitans?" asked Liu Xunyi, "how do you know they speak Khitan?"

"Because the little woman is also a Khitan. Xiaoqing explained.

Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Then can you understand what they are saying?"

Xiao Qing smiled bitterly: "They only said, 'Hurry up, hurry up', 'Don't move your Song dog', 'Look for death'...... and so on, and didn't say much else. Saying that, Xiaoqing also imitated the tone of those people at that time, repeating these foul words in Khitan language.

Although Liu Xunyi couldn't understand the Khitan language, he suddenly heard a rather familiar rhythm from Xiaoqing's words, and hurriedly stopped: "Xiaoqing, you repeat what those people said......

Xiao Qing followed the instructions and repeated those foul words back and forth several times. Liu Xunyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to himself: "I remember, this is what I said when I first arrived in Huodu, I accidentally bumped into the person from the Western Regions on the street, and the sentence 'Song Dog' and 'Looking for death' are exactly the same." Speaking of this, Liu Xunyi suddenly changed his words and asked Xiaoqing: "You Khitans...... Do you like to call Song people Song dogs?"

"Don't get me wrong, of course not. Xiao Qing hurriedly clarified, "It's the first time I've heard this kind of title. ”

"What about their appearance?" Liu Xunyi was cautious and tentative, but unfortunately Xiao Qing could only shake his head silently.

"That figure ......" Liu Xunyi was halfway through his words, and an extremely bold speculation suddenly appeared in his heart, he stood up "Teng", followed the demeanor and tone of the Western Regions man he saw, and shouted at Xiaoqing in Khitan language, "Song dog", "looking for death". Then he compared his body shape and compared the burly figure of the man from the Western Regions, and then looked at Xiao Qing with expectant eyes, and asked, "Is that the tone of that person's speech like this?" and his figure ......?"

Xiao Qing looked at Liu Xunyi in a daze, and after looking at it for a long time, he asked in surprise: "Why can the son learn so well?"

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi suddenly realized in his heart, and secretly thought: "That's because I accidentally bumped into them on the street today." However, he didn't explain to Xiaoqing, but continued to ask: "Are they four people?" and then described the four Western Regions people he saw on the street.

This is also the ability that Liu Xunyi learned in Tianji Pavilion, whether it is a person or a thing, as long as he takes a look, he will never forget it.

"It seems to be ......," Xiaoqing thought about the scene repeatedly, and nodded plausibly, "It seems to be as Childe said...... Could it be that Gongzi knows who kidnapped Cao Gongzi?"

Regarding Xiaoqing's inquiry, Liu Xunyi naturally wouldn't tell her the truth. He walked to Xiaoqing's side and whispered in his ear: "Don't mention these words to anyone again, otherwise you may have to worry about your life." ”

"Childe ......"

"Don't ask too much, I will leave Huodu quickly tomorrow morning, Cao Qin is a capricious villain, so as not to change later. Liu Xunyi kindly instructed, and without waiting for Xiaoqing to reply, he had turned around and walked out of the wing, accompanied by the sound of "oh oh" downstairs and the old bustard's false greetings, Liu Xunyi left Tianxiang Building quickly.

Xiaoqing took the money bag left by Liu Xunyi and sat quietly at the table in a daze, thinking about everything he had experienced, and his heart couldn't be calm for a long time.

On the way back to the Long'an Inn, Liu Xunyi already had a plan for the next step, and he was going to Fuhe Grain Village in Huodu early tomorrow morning to find Lao Xu, the housekeeper of the caravan he came with. Because when he clashed with that group of people from the Western Regions today, it was Lao Xu who came forward to reconcile.

Liu Xunyi clearly remembered that Lao Xu gave the man some silver to make amends, and then the man's accomplice came forward to say a few words, and then they left in a hurry.

Now that I think about it, what they say should also be true in Khitan. And the content of those few sentences is likely to be an extremely important clue for Liu Xunyi at this moment.

And more importantly, on the way to Huodu, Lao Xu once boasted in casual conversation that he knew many ethnic languages, including Khitan.

Shun Teng found his eyebrows, Liu Xunyi's mood suddenly brightened, and he crept back to the silent Long'an Inn, from the lobby to his room on the second floor, without making a sound along the way.

"Whew!"

When Liu Xunyi tiptoed to close the door gently, a breath of turbid air grew out of his mouth. Just as he was about to go to bed to rest, a terrifying light suddenly flashed in his originally peaceful eyes, and he instantly drew his sword out of its sheath, and while he turned around, the blade of the sword glowing with cold light was already pointing directly at the dim corner of the southeast of the room.

"Who?"

......
