When the moon is in the sky, the candle shadow is red.

It was the first time that Long Shiqiu looked at Tang Shiyao at such a close distance.

Tang Shiyao also put herself on a man's chest for the first time, she could clearly hear his "dong dong" heartbeat, this man who had never panicked was at a loss at the moment, and he didn't even know where to put his hand.

How nice it would be if time could stand still forever in this moment!

"I listen to you, I'm waiting for you to come back in the capital. Tang Shiyao said softly, and glanced at Long Shiqiu after speaking: "I'm just worried about the poison on your body, what if you can't get the antidote after three days?"

Long Shiqiu smiled: "If I die, will you cry?"

Tang Shiyao pushed him away, and glared at him: "Bah, this is also said casually? Are you sure that you have solved the poison of 'Heart Devouring Scatter'?"

Long Shiqiu smiled, spread his palms, and held three small white pills in his palms!

"Eat your heart!" Tang Shiyao blurted out and exclaimed, "It turns out that you ...... You didn't ...... at all."

Long Shiqiu nodded, smiling without saying a word.

"You ......" Tang Shiyao was surprised, bit her lip and said: "Then you didn't say it earlier, it will cause people to worry about you in vain...... "The more he said, the more angry he became, the pink fist slapped him in the chest several times, and scolded gently: "You are not a good person, which sentence of your words is true and which sentence is false?"

Long Shiqiu couldn't help but take her into his arms and said softly: "You just need to know that I am sincere to you, as for other things, I will tell you slowly in the future." ”

Tang Shiyao buried her face in his chest and said coquettishly: "Then the next time we meet, you have to answer whatever I ask, and don't lie and coax me anymore." ”

Long Shiqiu nodded, and at this moment, the knock on the door sounded again.

Tang Shiyao was so shocked that she pushed Long Shiqiu away, she didn't stand or sit, she was really in a dilemma, and she was embarrassed.

"Please come in!" As soon as Long Shiqiu's words fell, Xiao Wensheng pushed the door and walked in.

"Yo, I didn't come at the right time. Xiao Wensheng glanced at his niece, and deliberately coughed dryly and laughed: "Yao'er, haven't you rested so late?"

Tang Shiyao's face turned red with shame, and she said in a low voice: "Fourth uncle, you talk, I'll go back." Without raising his head, he walked out.

Long Shiqiu gave up his seat to Xiao Wensheng, Xiao Wensheng said straight to the point: "Long Daxia......" Only halfway through the words, Long Shiqiu immediately interrupted: "Don't Fourth Uncle Xiao, from now on, you can only call me Shiqiu." "In any case, first of all, the seniority can't be messed up, otherwise how can you change your words in the future?

Xiao Wensheng couldn't understand the meaning, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, Shiqiu" changed his face and said: "Your future father-in-law can't rest assured, there are some things he can't say, so I have to ask you about your next plans." ”

Long Shiqiu said: "Fourth Uncle Xiao has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to ask. ”

Xiao Wensheng sighed and said: "Shiqiu, you and Yao'er are in love, and they are destined to be together in the future, my eldest brother has also acquiesced in this matter, you know that Shi Yao is the pearl of my eldest brother's palm, if you want him to rest assured that Shi Yao will be married to you, at least ......"

Long Shiqiu continued: "Fourth Uncle Xiao, I know what you mean. He sighed deeply, stood up and walked to the windowsill, and finally said quietly after a long silence: "I don't know if Fourth Uncle Xiao knows about the Crane Villa back then?"

Xiao Wensheng's face changed when he heard this, and he sighed: "Are you really the descendant of Yangzhou Duhe Villa?"

Long Shiqiu's eyes suddenly showed a look of resentment, and he said hatefully: "How can I not repay the revenge of killing my father and mother, and exterminating the clan back then, this is what I have been investigating since I returned to the Central Plains for two years." ”

Xiao Wensheng frowned and said: "Nearly twenty years have passed since this incident, and those who participated in the case of destroying the door back then are at least more than half a hundred years old even if they don't die, not to mention that time has passed, and it may not be easy to find clues." ”

Long Shiqiu turned to look at Xiao Wensheng and said: "That's right, the mastermind who killed my whole family back then Jingjiang Marquis Gengguan was arrested by Jinyiwei five years ago, and the whole family died in the edict prison, which is also deserved, and his subordinates and accomplices who participated in the night attack on Duhe Villa have no proof of their death." ”

Xiao Wensheng thought for a while and said: "Then Jingjiang Marquis Gengguan was beheaded by the whole family for the crime of rebellion, everyone knows about it, what kind of holiday did he have with your family, and he would do this poisonous hand and destroy you?"

Long Shiqiu said: "Geng Guan secretly recruited troops with the help of the power of the West Factory, not only bought some court officials, but also colluded with a lot of Jianghu forces, it is said that he has a list of people involved in the conspiracy, I think the events of the year must be related to this list, but unfortunately since Geng Guan's death, this list has been missing." ”

Xiao Wensheng sighed "hmm" and nodded: "I understand, as long as you find this list, you can find out who was involved in the bloody Heshan Villa back then." ”

"That's right, it was Jinyiwei who arrested Geng Guan five years ago, and the commander of Jinyiwei at that time was now Zhu Dingwei, the king of Kang. ”

Xiao Wensheng said: "So you suspect that the list is still in the hands of King Kang?"

Long Shiqiu said: "I have secretly visited King Kang's Mansion many times to find the whereabouts of that list in the Treasure Pavilion, but unfortunately I have found nothing so far. ”

Xiao Wensheng said: "Shiqiu, have you ever thought that the Marquis Gengguan of Jingjiang was beheaded by the whole family for the crime of rebellion, but why didn't he connect the nine clans?"

Long Shiqiu said: "Fourth Uncle Xiao is really far-reaching, I can't figure out this matter, Geng Guan's case was investigated and handled by Jinyiwei, it stands to reason that Prince Kang will not be so merciful, unless he ......"

Xiao Wensheng continued: "That's right, if Prince Kang wants to use that roster to make a big fuss, hide something when he played the imperial court, and deliberately did not implicate others, then think about it, how will those people on the roster treat King Kang?"

Long Shiqiu glanced at Xiao Wensheng and said with a smile: "Fourth Uncle Xiao is really thoughtful, and he even thought of this. ”

Xiao Wensheng waved his hand and asked, "Shiqiu, what are your plans at the moment?"

Long Shiqiu said: "I will stay to find out the whereabouts of the robbed dart silver, and I will return to Beijing as soon as there is a result." ”

Xiao Wensheng nodded and said, "There is another thing I want to ask you, what is the purpose of you holding my hand in the inn today and tapping it three times in my palm?"

The corners of Long Shiqiu's mouth raised, and he said softly: "Fourth Uncle Xiao already knows it, so why should I say more? Just be careful on the way back to Beijing." Xiao Wensheng nodded lightly, with a look of approval in his eyes.

At dawn the next day, Long Shiqiu bid farewell to Tang Tianlong and his party, and he was reluctant to go on his way, so there was no need to repeat it.

The front foot sent away everyone in the Yuding Dart Bureau, Long Shiqiu immediately called the ghost Xiao in front of him, and said a few words in his ear, the ghost Xiao nodded again and again, and led the mount away.

Long Shiqiu suddenly felt relaxed, and rode straight to Yueyang Tower.

What I saw along the way was completely different from yesterday, the number of officers and soldiers patrolling inside and outside the city increased several times, and many shops were not even open.

Sure enough, as he expected, Yueyang downstairs was already full of officers and soldiers, and the number of people who came to watch the battle was nearly half less than yesterday, and the people from all walks of life who were left behind were excited at this time, and all the people were talking about being attacked by the Fire Spirit Sect last night, and Long Shiqiu learned from the side that the Fire Spirit Sect not only attacked the heroes from all walks of life who participated in the Dongting Conference last night, but also attacked the helm of the Youlong Gang, killing more than a dozen disciples of the Youlong Gang.

Looking at it, five of the six champions who participated in today's decisive victory had already come, and Long Shiqiu did not come to the stage, but just stood in the crowd and watched quietly.

After a while, Lan Jingyu led the crowd to the ring with a serious face, only to see him glance at Lu Yong, Lu Yong immediately strode into the ring, and said loudly: "Everyone, what happened last night must have been known to everyone, it turns out that the Dongting Conference is held at the right time, we must elect a general alliance leader with both ability and political integrity as soon as possible, and lead everyone to compete with the Fire Spirit Sect, the six division masters are already in place, and today's competition will start immediately." After that, he glanced at the six champions and said: "The rules of today's competition are the same as yesterday, and any one of the six champions can win three consecutive games." These six champions are: the first Nine-Fingered Daoist Yuan Tianqi of the Dragon Gang, the second Shen Xuanyu Shen Guan of Ruiqing Palace, the third Changle Gang 'Iron Xiao Scholar' Duan Xianwen Duan Hall, the fourth Changle Gang Elder Wu Xing, the fifth Hanyan Villa Feng Kui Feng Ergong, and the sixth Yuding Dart Bureau Long Shiqiu. After introducing them one by one, Lu Yong looked at the chairman's seat and saw that Long Shiqiu's seat was still empty, so he said loudly: "Long Shiqiu of the Jade Ding Dart Bureau is absent, and it is regarded as an active abstention, and the remaining five champions, which of you will come to the stage to defend first?"

The audience suddenly let out a burst of regret, everyone who watched the competition yesterday knew that Long Shiqiu's martial arts had reached the realm of supernatural perfection, and those who wanted to feast their eyes again today were extremely disappointed.

For the other five champions, Long Shiqiu's absence undoubtedly made a stone fall to the ground in their hearts, and without the strongest competitor, their confidence was naturally much higher.

In fact, due to Long Shiqiu's absence, this competition has become a two-strong competition between the Youlong Gang and the Changle Gang, as for which side Shen Xuanyu of Ruiqing Palace supports, it is unknown, from the perspective of strength, if Ruiqing Palace wants to fight against Youlong and Changle Gang by itself, there is almost no chance of winning.

Therefore, as soon as Lu Yong's words fell, Duan Xianwen, a scholar of the iron flute, stood up and strode into the ring.

Since he represents the Changle Gang, Wu Xing and Feng Kui will naturally not take the initiative to fight, and Yuan Tianqi, the head of the Nine-Fingered Dao, naturally knows it in his heart, smiles slightly, stands up and walks to the ring, slowly draws out the pine pattern ancient sword, and says, "Duan Hall Master, please make a move!"

Duan Xianwen, a scholar of the iron flute, stared at the sword in Yuan Tianqi's hand, and said secretly: This bull's nose sword is as sharp as clay, if you want to win, you must not be suppressed by his sword, I have to use clever tricks to win him.

Thinking of this, he took a wrong step, and the iron flute in his hand went straight to Yuan Tianqi's ribs with the sound of the wind.

Tie Xiao scholar Duan Xianwen's famous stunt "Xiaoyin Bada" was originally based on acupoints, and the way to win is the flexibility of footwork and the accuracy of recognizing and pointing points.

Yuan Tianqi saw that he was light and agile, and knew that he wanted to win by skill, so he sneered, and flashed on the ground, and the sword in his hand flashed with a dazzling cold light, and Duan Xianwen's arm was slashed down with a sword!
