At noon, nearly 1,000 disciples of the lower three sects gathered in the east hall of King Xian's Mansion.

"On the order of the black fan, we will make every effort to search all the inns, restaurants, tea shops, brothels and other places in Luoyang City that can be used by outsiders. ”

Xu Heng stood with a knife in his hand, his body was like a gun, his expression was solemn, and his voice was as bright as a bell, and he continued: "That person's figure and clothing are clear to Lord Luomen just now. Anyone who finds anything suspicious, whether true or false, will be monitored and promptly returned to the house to report it. Before sunset, you must search every corner of Luoyang City, and there must be no omission. Those who dare to disobey the order will be punished as collaborators!"

"Yes!" all the disciples commanded in unison, deafeningly deafening, breaking through the nine heavens.

"Without further ado, let's go!"

With Xu Heng's shout, the next three disciples quickly left the East Hall, and dissipated in Liu Xunyi's sight in the blink of an eye.

"Black Fan ......" Xu Heng looked at Liu Xunyi with an embarrassed face, and said in a slurred manner, "Although our movements have been very fast, after all, the carriage was parked in the back alley last night, we will check now, will it be ......?"

"Brother Xu, what do you want to say?" Liu Xunyi interrupted.

"I mean...... Could the thieves have already absconded out of the city?" Xu Heng said bitterly, "Even if we dig three feet into the ground, in the end, our efforts will be in vain. ”

Luo Ningyu nodded and said: "If the thief really goes out of the city, it is tantamount to a dragon entering the sea and a tiger entering the mountains and forests, and we want to find him again...... I'm afraid it's as difficult as climbing to the sky. ”

"We don't know if the thieves are in the city, but we have to give it a go. Ling Qing puffed up and said, "Go and check, you have a chance." If you give up lightly just by conjecture, the lord of the mansion will be angry...... I'm afraid that none of us will be able to escape responsibility. Of course, the most troublesome thing is the black fan......"

Seeing that Liu Xunyi was in a trance and silent, Luo Ningyu couldn't help but feel worried, and softly reassured: "Don't worry! I will not let my father embarrass you." ”

"Miss Luo is now the master of the shocking door, how can she move out of the posture of the eldest lady of the Xianwang Mansion at every turn?"

Before Liu Xunyi could speak, a pleasant laughter suddenly came from outside the hall. Immediately after, Xun Qin slowly walked into the hall.

"What are you doing?" As soon as he saw Xun Qin, the softness on Luo Ningyu's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a touch of cold arrogance, "This is the place where the next three doors are discussed, how can you come and go freely?"

"Miss Luo is really a noble person who forgets things. Lord Luofu explained, let me teach you some experience and strategies in the world. Xun Qin didn't laugh angrily, and replied disappreciatively, "In this way, I am also half of Miss Luo's master, why can't I come?"

"You ......"

"Rather than waste your words here, you should go out and find out the whereabouts of the thieves sooner. Xun Qin didn't give Luo Ningyu a chance to refute, and instead urged Xu Heng and Ling Qing.

"Joke!" Luo Ningyu said contemptuously, "If the thieves have already fled, what is the use of us turning Luoyang City upside down? ”

"Miss Luo's words are wrong, I dare to assert that the man must still be in the city. Xun Qin smiled deeply.

"Why?" Xu Heng and Ling Qing said in unison, their faces surprised.

"In the middle of the night, it is impossible to send such a large 'gift' to King Beixian, there is no follow-up. "Xun Qin said," sandalwood coffin, eight treasure shrouds, plus a carriage...... Not to mention that it is worth hundreds of gold. I don't think anyone will be so boring, and they will not hesitate to waste time, effort, and money, just to exchange a few curses from the Xian Wangfu. ”

"This ......"

"Can you easily find out the source of the sandalwood coffin, and then get the buyer's news without much effort, is such an obvious 'loophole' really hidden sincerely?" Xun Qin shook his head and said, "Of course not. With the status and prestige of the Xian Wangfu in the rivers and lakes, this person not only dared to send the coffin, but also dared to blatantly leave clues for you to find out, there is only one reason. ”

"What is it?"

"He is not afraid of the Xian Wangfu, and he has no intention of hiding. Xun Qin said in one sentence, "The reason why I left a childish and ridiculous dumb riddle is that I want to play tricks on you." ”

As for this, Xun Qinmei's eyes turned, and she looked at the thoughtful Luo Ningyu with deep meaning, and asked with a smile: "Miss Luo, do you think that a person who is not afraid of the Xian Wangfu, has no intention of hiding, and even dares to play with you, will flee in a panic like an ordinary thief?"

In the face of Xun Qin's rhetorical question, Xu Heng and Ling Qing both showed hesitation. Luo Ningyu was angry and annoyed, but he couldn't argue for a while. Only Liu Xunyi, his face was still as plain as ever.

It seems that Liu Xunyi has long known Xun Qin's inferences.

"Miss Xun Qin means...... The thieves are still in the city?"

"Not only is he here, but he has been waiting for you to find him. Xun Qin replied confidently, "It has been three hours since the carriage was discovered. If you are a little later, I am afraid that people will laugh out of your big teeth. This is also the reason why the lord of Luofu strictly ordered Liu Zhifan to find out the culprit within one day. After all, it is about the face of the Xian Wangfu, and you can't be sloppy. ”

Luo Ningyu was taken aback and said in astonishment: "What do you mean...... Daddy already knew that the thieves were still in the city?"

"Who is the Lord of Luofu? How can such a small skill of carving insects be hidden from him?"

"But ......"

"That's it!" Liu Xunyi suddenly spoke, "I'll discuss it later, and the top priority is to find the thief as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!"

Xu Heng and Ling Qing immediately received the order and left the East Hall quickly. Luo Ningyu was resentful, hesitated for a moment, and then muttered indignantly: "What you said is crazy, there is something wrong, this girl wants to see if it is true or false?"

After saying that, Luo Ningyu turned around and left, as if he was unwilling to be left behind.

Looking at Luo Ningyu's back in a hurry, Xun Qin said in a word: "Miss Luo is a person of temperament, very cute, Liu Zhifan is really a blessing." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi's face changed slightly, and he said: "You don't want to mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, you can't laugh about this matter." ”

"Mandarin Duck Spectrum?" Xun Qin pretended to be dazed and said curiously, "I mean, Miss Luo is the master of the astonishing door, and she is conscientious, which is the blessing of the black fan and the lower three gates, what are you talking about?"

"You ......"

was teased by Xun Qin, Liu Xunyi was extremely embarrassed and speechless.

The two looked at each other without saying a word, and the atmosphere gradually became a little subtle.

"Last time, Miss Zhongli hanged herself......"

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Xunyi took the lead in breaking the silence and said ashamedly: "I said something excessive to you, think about it carefully...... Actually, I'm too paranoid. I apologize to you today, and I hope that you will not remember the villain, and do not have the same knowledge as me. ”

"You don't have to make amends to me!" Xun Qin said indifferently, "You and I don't owe each other." ”

"What?"

"Half a month ago, Huang Yulang implicated you in the matter of purging. Xun Qin said, "At that time, Lin Fangda and Miss Luo were anxious like ants on a hot pot and came to me for help. However, I refused on the spot, ignoring your life and death. Therefore, you and I are even. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi's face gradually became a little strange.

"Actually, my eldest brother has already told me about this. Liu Xunyi hesitated, "As far as I know, instead of helping them find a way to save me, you also advised Ning Yu to ignore my life and death, so as not to set yourself on fire." ”

"That's true. Xun Qin confessed to what he had done, raised his eyebrows, and said jokingly, "What?

In this regard, Liu Xunyi just smiled bitterly, neither admitting nor objecting.

Xun Qin's words changed sharply, and he said provocatively: "Do you sincerely repent of making amends to me today?" or are you worried that after falling out with me, I will tell King Beixian your secret?"

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi's eyes changed suddenly, he slowly got up, and stood opposite Xun Qin, and the two were only half a foot apart.

"You're not going to expose me. Liu Xunyi said faintly.

"Why?"

"Because you want me to live, at least...... So for now. ”

Xun Qindai frowned slightly, and sneered: "Ignoring your life and death is also called 'I hope you live'?"

"You're not ignoring it, you're secretly saving you. Liu Xunyi's feet moved, his body moved forward a few points, and the distance between him and Xun Qin was one step closer, and the two could almost feel each other's breathing, "Although you keep saying that you don't care about my life or death, and even stop Ning Yu from saving me." Actually, it's all your agitation. ”

"Agitation method?" Xun Qin forced his composure and asked knowingly, "Who am I going to provoke?"

"You know that Ning Yu has affection for me, and at the same time you know her temperament. If you persuade me with good words and do your best to save her, she will not dare to openly oppose the lord of the house, let alone save me from fire and water. Therefore, you deliberately provoked her and made her angry and did not hesitate to oppose the lord of the mansion, vowing to save me. ”

At this time, Xun Qin's face began to become a little unnatural, she swallowed a mouthful of foam with difficulty, and said stubbornly: "If I want to save you, I can go to King Beixian, why provoke Luo Ningyu?"

The corners of Liu Xunyi's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sly smile, and said, "Because you know that only Luo Ningyu can convince King Beixian." No one but her has the ability to do this. What you used was not only Ning Yu's admiration for me, but also the mansion master's father-daughter love for Ning Yu. ”

In the face of Liu Xunyi's aggressiveness, a trace of panic flashed involuntarily in the depths of Xun Qin's eyes.

Suddenly, Xun Qin's eyes straightened, he took a step back, and said sarcastically: "Liu Zhifan is really a bodhisattva's heart, I am obviously harming you, but you can justify yourself and imagine me as saving you." I don't know if you're smart or stupid?"

After saying that, Xun Qin suddenly turned around, turned his back to Liu Xunyi's face, and a flash of relief disappeared.

"Liu Xunyi, I didn't want to save you that day, I didn't mean to provoke Luo Ningyu, I just didn't want to get into trouble. Xun Qin sneered without looking back, "Don't think that Miss Luo is fascinated by you, and all women in the world will be good to you." Liu Zhifan is self-inflicted, beware of making people laugh. ”

"This has nothing to do with affection, I just want to thank you for saving my life. ”

"You don't have to!" Xun Qin's tone was indifferent, and he flatly refused, "There are so many accusations of your crimes overnight, and a fool can guess that someone must be obstructing them." I don't meddle in this matter because I don't want to be taken advantage of, and I don't want to fall into a trap. Everything I did was done out of self-preservation, and there was nothing else to think about! If I provoked Miss Luo by mistake and saved your life, it was just a coincidence. ”

"Is that true?"

"Every word is true!"

With that, Xun Qin snorted and walked away quickly.

When she walked out of Liu Xunyi's sight, her contemptuous and uninhibited expression gradually converged. The footsteps stopped slightly, the heart was full of tastes, and the eyes were extremely complicated.

She didn't know when, her heart was pounding.
