Chapter 174: A meager peace crisis lurks

Dao Xueke said casually: "Just ask for a pot of tea." Chu Qing'an added: "Any kind of tea is fine." When the little two heard this, they looked up and down at the outfits of the two, but they looked like people in the rivers and lakes, so they smiled awkwardly: "I don't look like the two of you are a bitter person, since you are in the seat, how can you just need a pot of tea." ”

"You just have to serve tea, so why bother. Dao Xueke was upset in his heart and said impatiently. Chu Qing'an's eyes wandered over the two of them, and he hurriedly got up and gently pushed the little second out of the room, stuffed him with ten taels of silver, and said in a low voice: "You just have to obey whatever he wants, you can take these silvers, and if you have more, you will record them in the account, and if you don't care about me, don't rush him." ”

The little second happily accepted the silver, and Chu Qing'an added: "Let's bring a pot of tea first, and we will have someone to come later, and then we will serve wine and food, I will order." The little two made a promise, and jumped downstairs to greet the other guests.

Chu Qing'an turned back to Dao Xueke's side, and said unintentionally: "Just tell him a few words, but he is also a person who knows things, it is not easy to open the door to welcome guests, with tens of millions of smiling faces, earning hard-earned money." If it's all right, there's no need to be angry with them. Who is born inferior to others? Although they nod their heads, the money they earn is also straight to their backs. ”

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Dao Xueke tasted other meanings from these words, and lowered his head and asked, "Is there a gaffe on my side?" Chu Qingan tilted his head and said, "Is there any?" Dao Xueke sighed: "I can't sit and lie down these days, I always feel that something big has happened, my heart is beating, and my heart is depressed, I hope you can understand." ”

Chu Qing'an held his hand tightly and said softly: "Brother Xue's mood, Qing'an can understand it. It's just that I can't share anything for Brother Xue. Dao Xueke shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Some things can't be halved if they are shared, or they may just increase the sadness of the person." ”

With that, he walked slowly to the window, gently pushed open the carved wooden window, leaned against the window, and looked out the window at the streets and alleys that extended to the city gate and the crowds of people.

This Mengxian Tower is located in the center of Anhuai Mansion City, where all the streets and alleys converge, extending in all directions. No matter where the people come, they can have a panoramic view on the second floor, Liu Yuanjun and they came from Mengyao Mountain, they must be riding horses, if they ride into the city, it will be better to find.

After a while, the previous little two respectfully held a pot of tea, set up two porcelain cups, filled them with tea, and then respectfully retreated and closed the door. Chu Qing'an picked up the teacup, looked at the rippling tea in the cup, exhaled lightly, blew over the tea leaves like a small boat, pursed his lips again, took a sip, moistened his heart and spleen, and had an endless aftertaste.

His eyes involuntarily drifted to Dao Xueke, who was still looking at the city gate in a daze, and his thoughts were afraid that he had already flown up to the clouds.

The two of them waited for about half an hour, Chu Qing'an was already a little drowsy, but Dao Xueke still held his body, even though his eyes were a little sour, he still refused to look away. After a while, three more horsemen on horseback hurried at the city gate, one of whom was dressed in white and short, with two silver lights flashing behind him, and rode a horse alone. The other two were riding a horse together, one wearing an ink robe, and the other was in a white shirt.

When he got closer, Dao Xueke recognized Liu Yuanjun at a glance, and shouted happily: "It's them, it's them, they're coming!" and shouted at the window: "Senior sister, senior sister!" The pedestrians looked up one after another, not knowing what kind of madness this person had. And Liu Yuanjun heard the shouting from afar, followed the voice, and was looking at the sword snowman.

The brows that have not been stretched for many days are untied by the little junior brother who worries about them day and night.

After resting in the stable in front of the restaurant, Liu Yuanjun and the three of them rushed to the store, and the little two were just ordinary guests and wanted to come up to greet them, just as Dao Xueke and Chu Qingan rushed down from the second floor, they called him and said: "Xiao Er, there is no need to say hello, this is the guest we are waiting for." Xiao Er slapped his head and said to Liu Yuanjun and the others: "In that case, the three upstairs, please!"

welcomed Liu Yuanjun and the three of them into the private room, and Xiao Er also learned to be well-behaved, so he didn't ask much, but still covered the door and went downstairs to greet other guests. It was rare for the five of them to get together, and it was inevitable to have a greeting, but Dao Xueke looked at it for a long time, and asked suspiciously: "Why don't you see Xiaoli and Baiyi?

Liu Yuanjun felt that he couldn't hide it, so he told Dao Xueke that Rao Mengli had left a book to say goodbye as early as Mengyao Mountain, and handed over the note left by Rao Mengli to Dao Xueke. After seeing it, Dao Xueke couldn't help but clench his fists, pinched the note in his palm, and crumpled it into a ball. With red eyes and tears in his eyes, Dao Xueke looked at the four of them tremblingly, and asked with a sneer: "So, you have been hiding it from me......"

Chu Qing'an hurriedly explained: "We were afraid that Brother Xue would be distracted, at that time, Brother Xue was concentrating on dealing with You Jinwen, and we really didn't have a chance to say ......" Dao Xueke retorted: "There is no chance to say, then why did You Jinwen refuse to explain it to me after he died? In fact, you have known it for a long time, but you have been hiding it from me...... Just to see me scared all these days, but refuse to tell me the truth, and let me have nothing to hope for?"

Chu Qing'an was speechless when asked, how could he feel wronged in his heart, and it was difficult to pour out, so he had to bear it silently, and tears blurred his eyes. Seeing this scene, Liu Yuanjun also stood up and complained for Chu Qing'an: "You don't want to blame her, what does this have to do with her? Even if you tell you the truth at the time, what can you do? Xiaoli has been missing for a long time."

, there is no news, no clue, nowhere to be found, telling you is just one more person to worry about, and if you were told at that time, I was afraid that I would have already been in a state of confusion and died under the sword of You Jinwen!"

Dao Xueke also knew that Liu Yuanjun was reasonable, and he should not blame others for the blame, so that Chu Qing'an was wronged, and he was just in a hurry, so he said the wrong thing. sat back next to Chu Qing'an, silently held her hand, and Chu Qing'an finally smiled again.

Seeing that the atmosphere was so heavy, Zhu Qingqiu smiled and said, "Everyone relax, now that Bai Yi has gone to the Northern Sword Sect to look for Miss Xiaoli, counting the time, it should also be here." Presumably, even if you can't find Xiaoli, you can get three or two clues, and then we'll look for it together. ”

"Go to the Northern Sword Sect to find clues, what's going on?" Dao Xue Ke asked as he stood up and propped up the table.

Ren Shanhuai unfolded the folding fan in his hand and said slowly: "Brother Xue also heard about the golden feather." Bai Yi said that the golden feather was Miss Xiaoli's unique secret weapon, maybe it was the murderer who wiped out the Northern Sword Sect who kidnapped Miss Xiaoli, and took the opportunity to blame the Ten Ghost Hall, so he separated from us and went to the Northern Sword Sect alone, saying that he might be able to find the trace of Miss Xiaoli. ”

"But the other party can easily wipe out the Northern Sword Sect, such a martial art, even if Xiaoli and Bai Yi join forces, they are definitely not opponents! If they haven't bumped into it, if they really bump into that killer demon, wouldn't they have to put their lives into it!?Why didn't you stop him?" Dao Xueke asked puzzled.

Ren Shanhuai and Zhu Qingqiu glanced at each other, and looked helplessly at Liu Yuanjun on the side, and Liu Yuanjun explained: "I asked them not to stop them." Bai Yi was thinking about Xiaoli all the time, rather than forcing him to come with us, or we accompanied him to the Northern Sword Sect to delay the big event, it was better to let him go alone, I think, he must be able to act cautiously and come up with a perfect way not to be reckless and cause trouble. ”

Dao Xueke had no choice but to sit back in his seat, and said with a long breath: "Now that the matter is now, I have to resign myself to fate." I hope that Bai Yi can find Xiaoli back. ”

As he was talking, a pure white carrier pigeon flew in from the open window, and the pigeon flapped its wings a few times and landed on Chu Qing'an's shoulder. When Chu Qing'an saw it, he smiled ecstatically and said: "This is the carrier pigeon I raised, and the pigeon whistle was handed over to Luo Baiyi for safekeeping in the Western Sword Sect before, and it must be his flying pigeon to pass the book." ”

Everyone came forward, eagerly looked at the small letter box that Chu Qing'an had untied to the pigeon's leg, and pulled out a note, only to see that it was written: "Xiaoli has been found, and he is heading to Anhuai Mansion." ”

This flying pigeon biography is really like a timely rain, unraveling a big stone hanging in everyone's hearts, especially Dao Xueke, who has been pressing on his heart for many days is that the clouds have finally cleared and the fog has dispersed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his brows that have been locked are finally relaxed. Liu Yuanjun said with a smile: "A thousand words are no match for a piece of letterhead, and now that Xiaoli has been rescued, Ah Xue can finally rest assured." ”

Dao Xueke bowed his hand and said: "I was in a hurry before, if there is any offensive words, I hope you will bear with me." Liu Yuanjun smiled with his eyes, his gentle and loving eyes never left Dao Xueke, Zhu Qingqiu hid his face and chuckled, while Ren Shanhuai shook his fan and smiled heartily: "Since this is the case, I want Brother Xue to break the bank, please let us have a meal in this well-known Mengxian Building." ”

Dao Xueke responded with a smile, Chu Qing'an was in a good mood, clapped his hands and smiled: "That's fine, you guys sit here for a while, I will immediately go downstairs and ask Xiao Er to prepare a table of wine and food." With that, he ran out of the house. After a while, the little two came back with Chu Qing'an, and many guys lined up to bring exquisite dishes and wine to the table, and everyone ate a beautiful meal, and stayed in the inn, and the rest of the things will be discussed later.

Moreover, in the Lu'an Mansion south of Anhuai Mansion, Ling Yige had already received the news of the whereabouts of Dao Xueke and the others, so he told the five of them about their gathering in Anhuai Mansion to Feng Zhan. The five people of the Ten Ghost Hall sat in the inner hall, and Feng Zhan was puzzled: "Since they have come back, why don't they go back to Lu'an, but go to Anhuai......?

"There is one more thing, not only should not be talked about...... Ling Yige hesitated again, glanced at Feng Zhan, saw him nod, and then said: "All the major sects, it seems, seem to be looking for the whereabouts of Xiaoli and Baiyi. ”

Feng Zhan became more and more puzzled, and the successive mysteries made him, a resourceful and vain son, helpless: "Although we don't know why Xiaoli and Baiyi don't go with Ah Xue and them, and we don't know why the rivers and lakes are looking for him, but we at least know that Baiyi and Xiaoli must be together at this time, and it should be okay for him to go together." ”

"I'm afraid, it's not like this......" Seeing Ling Yige's face showing bitterness, he was exhausted, Feng Zhan's heart was exhausted, and his hand shaking the fan also trembled, and he hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, come quickly!"

Ling Yige nervously fiddled with his hands, let out a long sigh, hung his head and said, "Now it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the murderous demon who wiped out the Northern Sword Sect last night broke into the Western Sword Sect at night. He seriously injured Lu Zhuangyu, the head of the Western Sword Sect, and sucked away his decades of skill. Fortunately, the demon was severely injured by the two Dharma Protector Elders, and was rescued by others, and fled in panic. ”

"Isn't this a good thing, what does it have to do with Bai Yi and Xiaoli?" everyone was puzzled

asked. Ling Yige said that when he was excited, he stood up and stomped his feet and said: "But it is rumored on the rivers and lakes that the female devil who broke into the Western Sword Sect at night, sucked away the internal force of the Lu Sect, and killed more than 500 lives of the Northern Sword Sect is Xiao Li, and the person who rescued him last night is Bai Yi!

Ling Yige was about to cry in a hurry, Feng Zhan was so shocked that the Xuan Fan in his hand fell to the ground, Duan Qingmeng almost choked himself to death with a mouthful of water, Wen Nanzhi's face changed slightly, but the demon in the umbrella was still expressionless as usual, sitting quietly.

Swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trembling and picking up the fan that fell at his feet, pretending to be calm, he knew in his heart that the current Ten Ghost Hall had finally improved slightly, and there seemed to be a sign of a comeback, now he must not be messed up, he is the backbone of the Ten Ghost Hall, others can panic, he can't, he must remain sober and calm all the time, take every step of the chess piece, step by step, in order to protect everyone in the Ten Ghost Hall, and live up to Xiao Wuxi's trust.

After pondering for a moment, the Xuan Fan in his hand pointed forward, and immediately ordered: "The wind and clouds have changed, and the ten ghosts have received the order!" The other four people got up together, and in one place, they knelt down and bowed: "The subordinates have received the order!" "Ling Yige and I will go to Anhuai Mansion, and they will meet with Ah Xue to discuss the next countermeasure; Qingmeng, Nanzhi and the Demon in the Umbrella, the three of you will follow the Western Sword Sect to inquire and check all over the Daguan Road between Anhuai Mansion, and you must find the whereabouts of Luo Baiyi and Rao Mengli! If you find it, you will immediately escort them to Anhuai Mansion safely! ”

"Subordinates obey!" the ten ghosts received the order and immediately set off. After packing their bags slightly, Duan Qingmeng and the three of them went west, Wen Nanzhi and Duan Qingmeng took the official road, and the demon in the umbrella copied the path. Ling Yige hired a carriage to carry Feng Zhan to Anhuai Mansion, which was two hundred and eighty miles to the north, to make peace with Dao Xueke.

Before leaving, Feng Zhan called Duan Qingmeng and whispered to her: "Be careful all the way, pay attention to everything, you keep this bag by your side, if you feel uneasy, open it and take a look." Do not open it until the moment. Duan Qingmeng kept it in mind and set off separately.

Let's say that the knife snowman and his party packed their bags and settled down in the inn, and before it was time to rest, they were in a good mood and wanted to play in this Anhuai Mansion. Chu Qing'an went to Dao Xue's guest room to pull him out for a walk, but Dao Xueke frowned in his heart and thought about it again. Chu Qing'an asked with concern: "Xiaoli, don't they already have their whereabouts and are safe, what is Brother Xue worried about?"

"The Eagle Clan is going to attack in a big way soon, the border pass is about to move, and Huo Xiaohuang of the Yin of the Luoyan Mansion is a member of the Chaoying Clan, if he defects to the battle, wouldn't it be called to open the door of the Central Plains Cave? No, I still have to go to the Tanglin Mansion earlier, and ask that Ying Wujian to take me into the palace, and find out those hidden in the court, clear the king's side, and save the country from great difficulties. Dao Xueke replied worriedly.

"Don't be too hasty in this matter, if you act abruptly, it will startle the snake and make them take precautions in advance. Chu Qing'an comforted, and then took Dao Xueke's hand and dragged him out, "It's better to think about it in the long run, Brother Xue is so annoying, it's better to go out for a walk with me and relax." ”

Although Dao Xueke was reluctant to go out, he couldn't stand Chu Qing'an's soft grinding and hard foam, so he had to go out with her with a wry smile. The hands of the two have never been separated, so they shuttled through the sea of people one after the other, listening to the noisy voices in their ears, and their mood really relaxed involuntarily. Dao Xueke saw people coming and going in front of him, hawkers selling along the street, and the lights were colorful, just like Lu'an Mansion.

It's just that I didn't want to enjoy this kind of scenery when I went to the city first, but now I have my wish.

"The customs here are indeed the same as those of Lu'an Mansion, but they also have a different flavor. No wonder the first emperor was especially nostalgic for this place when he went down to the south of the Yangtze River. Dao Xueke sighed sincerely. This reminded Chu Qing'an, who didn't dare to ask more questions before, but now that Dao Xueke is in a rare good mood, he looked back and asked: "Brother Xue went to Tanglin this time, why didn't he stay in Lu'an, and went back to the Ten Ghost Hall?

Hearing this, Dao Xueke's face changed slightly, and he recalled in his mind that night in the Yiye Sword Gate, all the disciples and the messenger Lin Jue all died under the bloody silver needle, Chu Qingan didn't recognize it, but Dao Xueke was no stranger. Before the matter was clarified, he didn't dare to speculate, but for the sake of insurance, it was better not to return to the Ten Ghost Hall.

Seeing Dao Xueke's embarrassed face, Chu Qing'an was afraid that he would fall into pain again, so he hurriedly took his hand and continued to walk forward, changing the topic and shouting happily: "Brother Xue, look, sugar gourd!" The two stopped the vendor who was carrying a large bundle of straw sugar gourds, Dao Xueke took out three copper coins and gave them to the vendor, Chu Qingan bit his fingertips and picked for a long time before he took off the largest and reddest string on the top.

Licking the bright red and cold sugar gourd, a trace of sweetness and sourness spread along the tip of the tongue to the root of the tongue, Chu Qing'an tasted the string of sugar gourds with a happy face, and the snow-white cheeks were faintly peach-colored ripples, and the corners of the mouth were stained with the speckled sugar color, Dao Xueke gently wiped it off for her, and laughed softly: "What an old person, but he still likes sugar gourds like a child." ”

Chu Qing'an smiled disapprerovingly: "What is this, if I was born in an ordinary family, I have never learned martial arts, and I have just gotten married at this age, why can't I love sugar gourds?"
