Back in the house, Ling'er took a set of clean clothes from the baggage.

Qi Yang walked to the incense burner and prepared to burn incense.

Ling'er knew that Qi Yang was cautious, and she was afraid that the stench in the torture room would make Xu Le suspicious, but she didn't know that Qi Yang had "hidden incense" with her. ”

Qi Yang asked, "What kind of incense does the girl like?" There are sandalwood and ambergris here. ”

"Sandalwood, I love sandalwood. Ling'er said, looking at Qi Yang.

Qi Yang heard Ling'er say this, and secretly glanced at Ling'er.

The four eyes met, and Qi Yang hurriedly looked away.

Ling'er secretly laughed at Qi Yang's caution, and thought: "That's right, I just love the house and Wu, and I like sandalwood because of Qingfengxia." ”

Ling'er took her clothes and walked behind the screen, and then secretly peeked out through the gap in the screen. I saw Qi Yang light the sandalwood, and then took something out of his pocket and put it into the incense burner.

"It turns out that Brother Qi Yang brought the 'Hidden Incense' with him, but I don't know what the effect of burning the 'Hidden Incense' and Sandalwood at the same time will be?"

Ling'er changed her clothes and came out, and saw Qi Yang sitting on a low couch, with his head down, as if thinking about something.

Ling'er sniffed the air around her, but there was no smell. It turns out that "hidden incense" and sandalwood are ignited together, and "hidden incense" is more powerful.

Gradually, a faint scent of sandalwood wafted over, and it seemed that the "hidden incense" had burned out, and now it was sandalwood at work.

Qi Yang looked up at Ling'er, only to see Ling'er holding the dirty clothes she had just changed and sniffing down.

Qi Yang hurriedly said: "Hurry up and put it away! Don't let people see it." ”

Ling'er saw Qi Yang's nervousness in her eyes, and asked with a smile, "What were you thinking about before?"

Qi Yang felt that Ling'er should also be prepared, so he said truthfully: "I heard Chen Bingda say that Xu Le is running around for our affairs every day, and he is afraid that he will go out today to investigate the details of Wu Jiang's predecessors. ”

"What should I do then?" asked Ling'er.

"I have to be careful. Fortunately, Wu Jiang's predecessors acted in a low-key manner, and very few people in the rivers and lakes knew about him. Qi Yang said.

Hearing Qi Yang say this, Ling'er was relieved. She asked again: "The Chen Bingda you are talking about, that is, the 'Chen Gongzi' in their mouths, but the former Black Lotus Lord of the Black Lotus God Sect?"

"It's him. Qi Yang replied.

"You've hurt him, but don't let him recognize you. Ling'er said worriedly.

"How could it be?" Qi Yang said disapprehantly.

Ling'er suddenly thought of Xu Le again, he had also injured Qi Yang, and Qi Yang not only had to treat him politely when he met him, but also consume his internal strength to heal him.

Ling'er hurriedly sat down beside Qi Yang and said, "After you hurt Chen Bingda, Xu Le also hurt you, so don't you hate Xu Le in your heart?"

Hate him?" Qi Yang smiled bitterly.

Ling'er felt a little painful in her heart.

Qi Yang suddenly thought of something and asked, "How did the girl know about this?"

"Huh?" Ling'er realized that she had slipped out. When she was hesitating whether to push Brother Qi Dian out to block it, she received Qi Yang's eyes.

Someone's coming!

Ling'er panicked and hurriedly stood up.

Qi Yang took advantage of Ling'er's inattention, propped up the low couch with his hand, and also got up, ready to answer the door.

Soon someone knocked on the door.

Qi Yang opened the door and saw that it was the two guards who had followed them before.

Their appearance was a little decadent, and one of them spoke: "The second prince invites the two of you to go to dinner." ”

"Okay, I'm tired. Qi Yang said.

The man said, "Divine doctor, we accidentally fell asleep by the pool." That one...... You can say a good word for us in front of the second son!"

"Okay, you two have been with us all day, that is, they have taken a nap for a while, presumably the second son will not blame us. Qi Yang said.

The two were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly thanked Qi Yang.

Ling'er thought to herself: "I hope this matter can be revealed, so as not to arouse Xu Le's suspicions." ”

---

Xu Le was entertaining Qi Yang and Ling'er in the hall on the upper floor this time.

Xu Le sat on the main seat, and there was a vacant seat on the side, which must have been specially reserved for Chen Bingda. But Chen Bingda didn't show up for a long time, I'm afraid he is still blaming Xu Le, right?

Xu Le looked at Qi Yang and said with a smile: "When did the Divine Doctor start to prefer vegetarian food?

Ling'er was startled, knowing that it was she who had done something bad.

Ling'er lowered her head and didn't know what to do, when she saw Qi Yang's right hand stretched out from under the table and gently patted the back of her left hand hidden under the table.

The slightly cool body temperature was reassuring, Ling'er immediately collected her emotions and looked up at Qi Yang, inexplicably believing that Qi Yang could solve the endgame in front of her.

Qi Yang looked at Xu Le and said calmly: "The old man doesn't often walk around the rivers and lakes, and he rarely drinks with friends in the rivers and lakes, I don't know where the second son heard about it?" he said while thinking about the rumors about Wu Jiang on the rivers and lakes.

Xu Le was about to speak, when he heard Qi Yang continue: "Could it be that the second prince heard about the peach banquet in Sanqing Mountain back then?"

Xu Le nodded.

"How many years ago was that!Is there still anyone chewing on the root of the tongue on the rivers and lakes?" Qi Yang touched his fake beard and said unhappily, "It's really a good thing that doesn't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles!"

Ling'er hadn't heard of that incident and looked at Qi Yang curiously.

Qi Yang said with annoyance: "It's just that the old man was greedy for a cup for a while, and accidentally got drunk, and then he pulled the second child and said a few words in his heart." Unexpectedly, these words were listened to by people with a heart, and they were used as a laughing stock, and later spread to the rivers and lakes. What a misstep into a thousand hatreds!"

"Haha!" Xu Le smiled and listened to the other party continue.

"Actually, it's nothing, the old man just complained that although the peach banquet is famous, there is not even meat food at the banquet. Although it is true that they are Taoist temples, they invite all famous figures in the rivers and lakes, and not all monks and Taoist priests. The treat is not a little fishy, how can people not complain?" Qi Yang told the story of the past many years ago.

The Sanqing Mountain Peach Tasting Banquet was many years ago. At that time, Qi Yang was not very old, so naturally he didn't know much about this matter. But later, when Wu Jiang and Qi Yang became friends, he told Qi Yang in detail about his rare appearance on the rivers and lakes but being treated as a laughing stock.

"Don't be angry with the divine doctor! The practice of Sanqingguan back then was indeed a little inappropriate, and the words and deeds of the divine doctor were also reasonable. Don't be like the ignorant juniors on the rivers and lakes. Xu Le said with a smile.

"It's still the second son. Qi Yang pretended to be pleased and said.

"But it's still not clear below, the doctor used to love meat, why did he suddenly ...... again" Xu Le turned the topic back again.

"Over the years, people have always changed. Qi Yang said with a smile.

The corners of Xu Le's mouth hooked, obviously unconvinced.

Qi Yang had no choice but to continue: "To be honest, the old man once suffered a very serious external injury, which hurt his spleen and stomach. As he spoke, Qi Yang gently pressed it somewhere on his body.

When Ling'er saw this, her heart ached. Although she knew that Qi Yang was most likely fooling the other party, Qi Yang's expression at this time did not seem to be fake, as if he was telling a secret that had never been revealed to outsiders.
