"I'll send you back to the Water Pavilion!"

Liu Xunyi lightly grabbed the white frost willow waist and flew down from the attic, in order to avoid extraneous branches, they deliberately avoided the crowd that came to chase Tang Afu, and chose a secluded alley to go back to the water pavilion.

"We are just one side, why would Childe sacrifice his life to save me?"

On the way, Bai Shuang subconsciously broke free from Liu Xunyi's cold jade hand, and it was not until this moment that Liu Xunyi suddenly realized that he had been holding Bai Shuang's hand, and Yu Li was inappropriate. In the moment just now, Liu Xunyi only regarded Baishuang as his sister, so he didn't care about whether men and women were kissed or not.

Liu Xunyi's face was ashamed, coughed lightly twice as if to relieve the embarrassment, and replied softly: "Don't hide it, the white girl looks very much like an old man below." ”

"Old man?" Bai Shuang's mood had completely calmed down at this moment, she looked at Liu Xunyi suspiciously, and said, "Childe is talking about his sweetheart?"

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi thought of "Liu Xunyu" again in his heart, and subconsciously smiled bitterly: "Yes, I have indeed been thinking about her in my heart." ”

"Even so, that boy shouldn't have saved me. Bai Shuang said lightly, "Since Childe has a sweetheart, then he shouldn't care so much about other women." ”

Bai Shuang's words made Liu Xunyi stunned, but then he wanted to understand the reason, although he knew that Bai Shuang had misunderstood what he said about his "sweetheart", but he didn't want to explain too much, just smiled slightly, and then changed the conversation, and asked, "I don't know where Bai Girl is from?"

"Quanzhou. White Frost replied softly.

"Is the white girl from Quanzhou?" Liu Xunyi felt a touch of disappointment and said, "But I don't know ...... at home."

"My parents have passed away, and my stepfather raised me. White Frost didn't seem to want to mention anything about his family, so he replied very simply.

Liu Xunyi frowned, and continued to ask unwillingly: "But I don't know who the girl's father-in-law is?"

"The former head of the Lu family, Lu Chongyang. Bai Shuang stopped and stared at Liu Xunyi without squinting, his cold eyes seemed to be reproaching Liu Xunyi for not doing so much.

"It turns out that the white girl is the righteous daughter of Lu senior. Liu Xunyi was an elm pimple, and he couldn't see the displeasure in Bai Shuang's heart, so he exclaimed, "In that case, the white girl should be the righteous sister of Lu Tingxiang's son, why is she ...... in Sushui Pavilion" As for this, Liu Xunyi suddenly realized that he had all his gaffes, after all, in front of other girls, he couldn't ask why people wanted to be the top brand in such an unclear place as Sushui Pavilion, right?

"Childe is kind to me, and Baishuang is grateful. Bai Shuang didn't pay attention to Liu Xunyi's words, and said, "When I return to the Sushui Pavilion later, I will find two girls to wait for my son, so as to thank my son for saving his life." As for the little woman's private affairs, please don't inquire about it anymore. ”

Seeing that Bai Shuang actually said the words "looking for two girls" like the old bustard in the Qinglou, the curiosity that lingered in Liu Xunyi's heart suddenly disappeared, and he shook his head secretly and said: "This girl is definitely not Yu'er, Yu'er will not say such a thing." Wrong! Wrong! I was confused and admitted again. Alas!"

"What else do you want to ask?"

Facing Baishuang's questioning, Liu Xunyi shook his head again and again, and said, "I was offended just now." ”

Bai Shuang nodded slightly, then turned around and walked briskly towards the Water Pavilion. Liu Xunyi, who was full of emotion, looked at the delicate back of Baishuang, let out a helpless sigh in his mouth, and then followed stupidly.

The water pavilion is still lit up, but compared to the usual hustle and bustle, it is surprisingly quiet at the moment, and even a little scary. Silent does not mean that it is empty, on the contrary, the lobby of the Water Pavilion is now overcrowded, in addition to the guests sitting around quietly watching the excitement, there is also a group of Lu Mansion guards with swords in their hands, eyeing the tiger.

In the center of the lobby, there are two Taishi chairs, and between the two chairs is a tea table. The two people sitting on the left and the right were sipping tea gracefully, and everyone's eyes in the hall would be focused on the two of them, but neither of them spoke.

The person sitting on the right side was Shen Dongshan, who had just been assassinated on the second floor, and sitting opposite Shen Dongshan at the moment was a sixty-year-old man in a navy blue brocade robe.

The old man's temples are white, his face is wrinkled and seems to have been through vicissitudes, and his long kind eyebrows and kind eyes seem to be very easy to approach, but a pair of slightly drooping eyes are always inadvertently flashing a sharp luster.

This old man's name is Sikong Zhu, and he is the chief housekeeper of the Lu Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has served the head of the Lu Mansion for three generations. Sikong Zhu has been alone all his life, and he has practiced a child's skills, so that his internal strength is bottomless, and his innate qi of pure love is even more unsurpassed in the rivers and lakes.

Sikong Zhu is not only unfathomable in martial arts, but also extremely spicy in his methods, coupled with the extremely deep city government and unpredictable scheming of people and ghosts, so that he can assist the three generations of Jiangnan Lufu grandchildren without being replaced by others, and he is also a famous big man in the rivers and lakes.

Tonight, Shen Dongshan, who was a distinguished guest of the Lu Mansion, was assassinated in the Sushui Pavilion, and the spread of this matter would inevitably affect the reputation of the Lu Mansion, so Sikong Zhu rushed to the scene overnight when he heard the news, just to find out the matter and give Shen Dongshan an explanation.

The masters of the Lu Mansion brought by Sikong Zhu stood in a row behind him, all with their backs and bears, their eyebrows and cold eyes, and they were not easy to mess with at first glance.

After a cup of tea, Bai Shuang returned to the Sushui Pavilion accompanied by Liu Xunyi, and as soon as the two stepped into the door, Lin Fang in the hall was the first to step forward, and asked Liu Xunyi with a nervous face: "Brother Xian, did Tang Afu hurt you?"

Liu Xunyi smiled lightly and patted Lin Fangda's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "There is Brother Lao who is concerned, and the younger brother is fortunately fine." ”

"That's good!" Lin Fangda breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then grabbed Liu Xunyi's hand and walked towards Shen Dongshan and Sikong Zhu, and said, "Brother Xian, I'll introduce you to the Sikong seniors of the Lu Mansion. ”

"White Frost, is there a big problem?" Sikong Zhu first smiled and nodded at Lin Fangda and Liu Xunyi, and then turned his eyes to White Frost.

Seeing Sikong Zhu, Bai Shuang hurriedly bowed and said, "I've seen Zhu Lao, I'm fine, but it was Liu Gongzi who saved my life." ”

"It's fine. Sikong Zhu said, "You go and rest!"

In front of Sikong Zhu, Bai Shuang seemed to be quite restrained, and he didn't dare to disobey Sikong Zhu's words, and after taking another look at Liu Xunyi, he raised his feet and went upstairs. At the same time, the Lu Mansion guards and Shen Dongshan's entourage who went to chase and kill Tang Afu also returned to Sushui Pavilion one after another, and saluted Sikong Zhu and Shen Dongshan one after another.

"What about people?" asked Sikong Zhu in a low voice without raising his head with his teacup raised.

The guards of the Lu family led by "this ......" couldn't help but look embarrassed when they heard this, looking at their companions left and right, but seeing that the people next to them were all secretive, they had to reply in a low voice, "I didn't find ......"

The teacup that Sikong Zhu had already brought to his lips paused suddenly, raised his eyes to look at the trembling guard, and asked in a low and hoarse voice, "The white frost has returned, but the assassin has not been found?"

"Zhu Lao, when we saw the White Maiden, the assassin was gone. The leader of the guards hurriedly explained, and as he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Xunyi, and said quickly, "We have seen the white girl with this person. ”

Sikong Zhu frowned slightly when he heard this, and then turned his gaze to the absent-minded Liu Xunyi, and said with a smile: "It turns out that this little brother rescued the hoarfrost, there is labor and labor, and the Lu Mansion will ......be grateful later."

Liu Xunyi was thinking about other things, and at this moment, Sikong Zhu couldn't help but be stunned when he said this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Sikong seniors don't have to be polite, just raise your hands." ”

"Huh...... Little brothers don't have to be modest. Sikong Zhu smiled, "But I don't know where the assassin is captured by the little brother now?"

"Assassin?" Liu Xunyi was stunned when he heard this, and said in confusion, "The assassin has already run away, and I didn't capture him." ”

Before Liu Xunyi's words fell, the smile on Sikong Zhu's face had quietly solidified, and a pair of deep eyes stared directly at Liu Xunyi, and said faintly: "The assassin ran away, and how did the white frost come back?"

"After I fought with the assassin, I suddenly heard that the brigade of your mansion had killed him, and the assassin was afraid that it would be difficult to escape, so I left the white girl and ran for my life. Liu Xunyi explained, "After that, I sent the white girl back." ”

"Since the little brother knows that the men and horses of my Lu Mansion will arrive later, why don't you entangle that assassin?" Sikong Zhu looked Liu Xunyi up and down, and said, "Seeing that the little brother has no serious injuries on his body, he must be inferior to the assassin in martial arts, otherwise I am afraid that he would have died under his sword long ago." Since the little brother can fight with Tang Afu without being weak, it should be easy to fight with him for a while and wait for reinforcements, why did he let him run away again?"

At this moment, Liu Xunyi finally felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, he was obviously kind enough to save people, but Sikong Zhu's words were quite suspicious of asking the teacher for guilt. And from beginning to end, Shen Dongshan was like an outsider, sitting on the side and drinking tea by himself, without even looking at Liu Xunyi.

"What do you mean by this?" Liu Xunyi raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Don't you suspect that you are deliberately letting the assassin go?" Even if it is, you are neither from the Lu Mansion nor Master Shen's subordinates, so what's so strange that you don't want to fight with the assassin for your life?"

"That's good!" Lin Fang echoed loudly, "My brother can go on a risk to rescue Miss Bai and solve a big problem for you, how can you ask my brother to capture Tang Afu for you again?"

Shen Dongshan, who didn't say a word, interjected faintly: "Brother Lin's words are wrong, Tang Afu is a person from the Valley of Despair, and for heretics, all decent people in martial arts should be punished by everyone, how can they say that they don't care about Brother Liu's affairs?"

When Sikong Zhu heard this, he turned to look at Lin Fangda and asked, "I don't know how you and this little brother know each other, and how can you call it a brother?"

"Like-minded at first sight. Lin Fangda replied simply, frowned, and asked, "What does Senior Sikong mean by asking this?"

Sikong Zhu smiled slightly, and said in a calm tone: "This little brother only came to visit Master Shen on the front foot, and Tang Afu rushed in to assassinate him on the back foot, this matter is too much of a coincidence. ”

"What do you mean?" Lin Fangda took a step forward, grabbed Liu Xunyi and asked, "Senior Sikong, I respect you as a senior in martial arts, and I have been polite to you again and again, you are now saying that you suspect that my brother and Tang Afu colluded to assassinate Master Shen? Although Lin Fangda shouted "Sikong senior", his words just now had completely clarified the dissatisfaction in his heart, and it was quite-for-tat.

"Master Shen was assassinated in the territory of the Lu Mansion, and the old man, as the owner, naturally can't escape the blame for this matter, and he is bound to find out what to find out and give Master Shen an explanation, and he can't act as if he didn't see anything. Sikong Zhu said lightly.

Lin Fangda didn't give an inch in the face of Sikong Zhu's aggressiveness, and said bluntly: "Now my sworn brother is kind enough to save people but has been wronged, and I, the eldest brother, can't be regarded as not seeing him when I see him innocently wronged." ”

"Lin Fangda, what qualifications do you have to make a big deal here?" a Lu Mansion guard standing behind Sikong Zhu reprimanded angrily, "Do you know that this is the territory of the Jiangnan Lu Mansion, and you can't be allowed to go wild." ”

Lin Fangda was completely enraged, he was stunned, and shouted: "Just because I am Lin Fangda of the Xianwang Mansion, Hugh will use the Jiangnan Lu Mansion to suppress me, others are afraid of you, Lao Tzu is not afraid!"

As soon as the two of them said this, they undoubtedly elevated the contradiction from a trivial matter to the confrontation between Jiangnan Lufu and Xianwangfu, and it is really necessary to weigh and weigh what to say at this point, after all, Jiangnan Lufu and Xianwangfu are both famous overlords in the martial arts, and Lu Tingxiang and Luo Tianjin are both people who want to save face.

Without waiting for the master of the Lu Mansion to speak again, Sikong Zhu had already interrupted the man's words with a sudden wave of his hand, he looked at Liu Xunyi calmly, and said with a light smile: "Before the matter is clarified, the old man definitely did not suspect the meaning of the little brother, and such a trivial matter does not need to alarm my son-in-law and the lord of the Luo Mansion." The reason why the old man is so cautious is to give an explanation to Master Shen, and secondly, to ensure that tomorrow's Golden Basin Handwashing Conference can go smoothly. Little brother, Tang Afu is a person from the Valley of Desperation, he appears in Quanzhou and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other party hidden nearby, you should have also heard that the Valley of Desperation is one of the four major pagan religions in the rivers and lakes, and tomorrow's events are all figures with faces in the Central Plains martial arts, and no one wants the Valley of Despair to jump out at this time to make trouble. Do you think what the old man said makes sense?"

Liu Xunyi knew that the matter had come to this point, and it was definitely not enough to counteract Sikong Zhu's suspicions in a few words, but he didn't want to involve Lin Fangda or even the entire Xianwang Mansion because of himself, so he stretched out his hand and dragged Lin Fangda, who was blowing his beard and glaring, back two steps, and said to Sikong Zhu: "But I don't know how Sikong seniors want to prove their innocence?"

"It's simple. Sikong Zhu saw that Liu Xunyi was quite familiar with current affairs, and couldn't help but smile lightly, "Since Tang Afu is nowhere to be found, it is difficult to find out your authenticity for a while, so in order to avoid complications, I have to temporarily ask the little brother to return to the Lu Mansion with the old man for two days. How?"
