"It's already past the hour, why haven't you seen the traces of Shanhuai and Qingqiu. Liu Yuanjun felt more and more that something was wrong with this matter, and Chu Qing'an said: "The West Market is relatively narrow, and there is only one inn. I want to come to wish my sister that they must settle down in the Yuelai Inn, so I will go to find him and the two of them. ”

Just about to get up, he was stopped by Dao Xueke: "You stay here with your senior sister, don't move." I'll come when I go. Dao Xueke picked up his knife and walked out of the teahouse and went straight to the West Market. After a stick of incense, he returned.

"How?

Dao Xueke shook his head with a solemn face and said, "No." The innkeeper said that they had left the inn before dawn, and that there seemed to be a fight in their room last night, and that something had happened. But since they have left this morning, they should be fine. ”

"Do you know where the two of them went?" asked Liu Yuanjun again. Dao Xueke replied, "I don't know." Chu Qing'an held his cheeks and fell into deep thought: "I was about to leave for Chengtian Mansion, but Sister Zhu and the two suddenly disappeared, how should this be good?"

Liu Yuanjun suddenly said: "When we first came to Tanglin, we only met with Ying Wuji. In addition, Qingqiu and Shanhuai have never had a grudge against others, in the middle of the night, how could there be a sound of fighting in the house, is it a trick that should not be sick?"

Liu Yuanjun and Dao Xueke were there, so naturally it was not Chu Qing'an's turn to hurt his brain, so when he heard this, he echoed and said: "It must be yes! That should be a lot of tricks and tricks, and he has a ghost in his heart, if it weren't for Ren Gongzi exposing him yesterday, he wouldn't be willing to take us to Beijing together! I'm afraid that he has a grudge, and he hates that his sister and sister can't be used by him, so he wants to take the opportunity to get rid of the two of them, so he does it in the middle of the night!"

"Since the two of them are fine, they should meet us at the Dingxiang Teahouse, why do they leave the inn before dawn and say goodbye?"

"Could it be that there is something unspeakable?" While the three of them were thinking about it, Chu Qing'an was the first to break through, and simply said: "Since it is suspected that it was Ying Wuji, then maybe Sister Zhu and Ren Gongzi also guessed that it was the person sent by Ying Wuji, maybe they went to find the theory of Ying Wujian early in the morning!"

Liu Yuanjun and Dao Xueke glanced at each other and froze in place. Chu Qing'an only thought that he had said the wrong thing, and seeing that the two were silent, he lowered his head timidly, and said softly with his fingers: "Did I say something wrong?" Dao Xueke and the two are above her in terms of martial arts and qualifications, although she is the master of the Yiye Sword Sect, but the experience of the rivers and lakes is still limited.

But Dao Xueke and Liu Yuanjun laughed when they saw her like this. Liu Yuanjun smiled dumbly: "We didn't think of such a simple question. Let's go to the Tanglin Palace!" The three of them then walked out of the Dingxiang Teahouse and went to the Tanglin Palace.

didn't go far, Chu Qing'an jumped in front, turned back to look at Liu Yuanjun and Dao Xueke two or three steps away, and shouted: "Brother Xue, Senior Sister Liu, go faster." Dao Xueke smiled bitterly and said, "Go slowly, be careful." Seeing this, Liu Yuanjun turned his head and whispered to Dao Xueke: "If it is a peaceful and prosperous world, I hope that the two of you are not from the rivers and lakes." Dao Xueke said with a smile: "When the Eagle Clan's meticulous work is destroyed, Qing'an will return to Yiye Jianmen to settle down in the follow-up affairs, and I will live in seclusion with Qing'an, and no longer ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes?"

"What, don't you want to take revenge?" asked Liu Yuanjun.

Dao Xueke sighed lightly and said, "I have figured out why Daddy doesn't want me to be involved in revenge. Sometimes hatred can really blind a person's eyes and make it difficult for you to see other good things in this world. I am afraid that my father and mother will not be in the spirit of heaven, and they will not want me to be like before, and I will not be disturbed by hatred day and night. ”

Liu Yuanjun's eyes were full of relief, and he nodded slightly: "Master and Master are in the spirit of the sky, you can look at it." ”

"Then senior sister, what about you, if you don't take revenge, where should you go?" Dao Xueke knew that it was difficult for Liu Yuanjun to let go of his old feelings. She gave up her best years as a woman for the sake of the Snow Villa. Most people in the world only know that the white-clothed two-spear Liu Yuanjun who protects the cold mountain is a man, but Dao Xueke knows that Liu Yuanjun never imposes his joys, sorrows, and sorrows on others.

This resolute senior sister has never had a word of complaint, whether it is the strict martial arts training since childhood, or the bloody battle when the Kexue Villa was destroyed, or the waste of ten years of wandering the rivers and lakes alone, looking for the enemies of the Kexue Villa, she could have complained and given up, but she has always protected Dao Xueke to grow up, even if she is not with him, she has always cared about the master's only child, the young master of the Kexue Villa, her junior brother.

The relationship between the two has long surpassed the blood of close relatives or the love between men and women, regardless of each other. The company of each other is like breathing, imperceptible, yet inseparable. Liu Yuanjun can't let go of Dao Xueke, and Dao Xueke can't let go of this dear senior sister either.

"Perhaps, I'll go back to Kexue Villa. I haven't thought about it yet. Liu Yuanjun's eyes flickered, revealing a trace of bitterness. Seeing that she was going to leave alone again, Dao Xueke was afraid that she would leave her again like ten years ago, so she hurriedly said, "Why don't you live in seclusion with me and Qing'an, and no longer ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, isn't it?"

Liu Yuanjun smiled slightly when he heard this, and said calmly: "You two are in love, you should have grown old together and spent it together."

I. If you can find a beautiful woman like this, Master and Master will be happy for you. I, as a senior sister, can't do anything for you anymore. As the so-called leaves fall back to the roots, Kexue Mountain Villa is where I grew up, my life has long been dedicated to the vast snow-capped mountains, if I can return there in my lifetime, set up a hut at the foot of the mountain, and spend my days peacefully, I will be very happy to live this life. ”

Dao Xueke saw that Liu Yuanjun had made up his mind and it was difficult to change it, so he had to say no more, but he was upset in his heart and his face was displeased. The atmosphere became a little solemn. The surrounding noise was extraordinary, although Chu Qing'an was only three steps away, he didn't know what Dao Xueke and Liu Yuanjun were talking about, just looking at the expressions of the two of them, Chu Qing'an's mood was inexplicably a little low.

He turned around with his hands behind his back, not wanting to raise his head as soon as one of them staggered into his arms. Chu Qingan exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly pushed the man away. Dao Xueke and Liu Yuanjun heard Chu Qing'an's exclamation, and hurriedly stepped forward, Dao Xueke protected Chu Qing'an from behind, and the three of them fixed their eyes on the man.

Although he was richly dressed but disheveled, covered in blood, his face was covered with ashes, he walked staggeringly, upside down, his eyes were chaotic, his expression was flustered, he was crazy, he was stupid, his speech was slurred, his expression was strange, and he said something indistinctly: "Who am I, who am I......"

Even so, the three of them could vaguely distinguish his appearance: "Little Prince?"

Who knew that Ying Wanli was like being struck by lightning when he heard the words, waved his hand again and again, and replied with a frightened face: "I'm not, I'm not! I'm not a little prince, I'm not a little prince, I'm Zhu Dongli, I'm Zhu Dongli......" As he spoke, he walked to Chu Qing'an's side, so frightened that Chu Qing'an kept hiding in Dao Xueke's arms.

Seeing that he had no malicious intent, Dao Xueke did not stop him, but just protected Chu Qing'an. Seeing him coming without asking, he leaned on Chu Qing'an's stupid smile, and bit his fingers and shouted at Chu Qing'an: "Sister, sister, Dongli wants to go out to play, I want to go out to play......"

Seeing this, the three of them were confused, they didn't know what the situation was at all, and they hurriedly intercepted Ying Wanli, who was about to leave, and asked, "What did you just say, who is your sister?" "I'm looking for it, I'm looking for my sister, you're not Dongli's sister, no......" Ying Wanli squinted his fingers and glanced at Chu Qing'an, and then smirked and walked away.

Chu Qing'an hurriedly stopped him again and said, "Who is your sister?" Ying Wanli fell into deep thought, his face was full of doubts, and he thought hard for a long time before he suddenly realized: "My sister's name is Zhu, Zhu, Zhu ......" Liu Yuanjun and Dao Xueke also stepped forward to stop him on the way, and took him to the alley next to the road, and said in a low voice: "Isn't it Zhu Qingqiu?"

"Yes, yes, my sister is Zhu Qingqiu, it's Zhu Qingqiu!" Ying Wanli clapped his hands and giggled like a child, but the three of them fell into doubts again, how did the dignified little prince of Tanglin Mansion become Zhu Qingqiu's younger brother.

Dao Xueke asked: "Little Wangye, do you remember what your name is?" Ying Wanli blurted out: "My name is Zhu Dongli ......" "Zhu Dongli ......" The three of Dao Xueke glanced at each other, "Could it really be Zhu Qingqiu's brother?" Chu Qing'an suddenly remembered that Zhu Qingqiu had said about her life experience, so he said: "Sister Zhu once said that sixteen years ago, Donglin Zhu's house was burned by a fire. ”

"I wish that the whole family was buried in the fire, and only Sister Zhu was lucky to save her life. She also said that the Zhu family still has a son, who is her own brother who is only four years old, but unfortunately he also died in the fire, how can he live until now, and become the dignity of the little prince?"

Liu Yuanjun thought about it in his heart, and said: "Sixteen years ago, I was only four years old. That's about the same age, but I don't know if it's true or not. "The only explanation is that Ying Wanli is Zhu Dongli, he didn't die at all, but was rescued and handed over to Ying Wuji. Or, it is simply that he should be rescued without illness, taken by his side, and raised to have today's little prince of Tanglin. Dao Xueke said, "Perhaps, the fire in the Zhu family has nothing to do with him!"

Chu Qing'an hurriedly asked Na Ying Wanli again: "Dong Li, do you know where your sister Zhu Qingqiu is now?" Ke Ying Wanli just heard the word Zhu Qingqiu, and his whole body trembled violently, his expression was panicked, his eyes were panicked, and he dodged again and again, shouting: "Fire! There is fire! There is a lot of fire, fire!"

Seeing him like this, Chu Qing'an hurriedly comforted: "Don't be afraid of winter, there is no fire, the fire has been extinguished, it's okay, it's okay." After Chu Qing'an's reassurance, Ying Wan'an finally calmed down again, Chu Qing'an glanced at Liu Yuanjun and Dao Xueke, and saw that the two of them nodded, so he turned his head and asked Ying Wanli again: "Do you know, where is your sister now?"

"Sister?" Ying Wanli looked at Chu Qing'an stupidly, Chu Qing'an smiled and pursed his lips and nodded. But Ying Wan, who had just calmed down for a moment, became excited again, wept bitterly, and looked up to the sky and wailed: "Blood, a lot of blood, it's all blood, blood ......" After saying that, he threw himself into Chu Qing'an's arms, Chu Qing'an was helpless, so he had to hold him for the time being, comforted him softly, and cast a helpless look at Dao Xueke.

Dao Xueke didn't care about this, and stepped forward and asked, "Why is there blood?" "Sister...... My sister is dead......" As soon as this statement came out, the other three were stunned. Chu Qing'an pushed him away and questioned him in disbelief: "You, what are you talking about......"

Liu Yuanjun and Dao Xueke also asked together, "What did you just say?"

！”

I don't know if it was because of excessive sadness or frightened, Na Ying Wanli howled and cried again, and said in a loud voice: "My sister is dead...... Sister is dead......" When the three of them heard this, their hearts were in turmoil, they were grief-stricken, and they were still in disbelief, Chu Qingan shook his head and said: "Impossible, impossible, there should be no reason to kill Sister Zhu and Ren Gongzi, I wish that Sister Zhu is impossible to die." ”

"So far, I have to go to the Tanglin Palace, and ask clearly!" Liu Yuanjun said. After that, the three of them were about to leave Na Ying Wanli and run to the Tanglin Palace, but Dao Xueke suddenly stopped, turned around and drew his knife, and was furious, and was about to kill Na Ying Wanli, but was stopped by Chu Qing'an and Liu Yuanjun.

Chu Qing'an persuaded: "Brother Xue, you calm down! I don't know if it's true or not, if I wish my sister to be safe and sound, Ying Wanli is really Zhu Dongli, wouldn't it be wrong to Zhu Sister Zhu's only relative! Moreover, he is already crazy, even if he should leave later, let him go, and no longer care about the evil things he has done in the past." ”

Liu Yuanjun also persuaded: "This matter is still a little strange, Qing'an is reasonable, Ah Xue, you must not be rash!"

Under the resistance of the two of them, Dao Xueke gritted his teeth and put the knife back into the sheath, and the three of them went straight to the palace. And Ying Wanli was still crazy and staggered through the sea of people, passers-by avoided it, and suddenly saw a steamed bun stall in the distance just brought out a basket full of hot meat buns, Ying Wanli clapped and ran over with a smirk.

"Steamed buns, hot meat buns that have just come out of the cage!" the big-shouldered, round-waisted, fat and strong boss shouted, and brought out a cage of steamed buns, greeting the guests. Ying Wanli, who was already crazy, staggered to the side of the stall and watched with saliva in his eyes. When the stall owner saw his dirty appearance, he just thought he was a beggar from somewhere, so he blew him away: "Go, go, stinky flowers, get out of the way, don't dirty my buns." ”

But taking advantage of the stall owner's turn, he should run away from picking up a basket of buns and scattering his legs, but his legs and feet were inconvenient, staggering, and before he ran out of more than ten zhang away, several meat buns had already fallen. The stall owner was still sweating profusely chopping meat, but he didn't know that it was already far away.

Seeing this, the passers-by reminded the stall owner: "Baozi Li, Baozi Li!" Baozi Li slapped the knife on the cutting board, touched the sweat on his forehead, turned around and smiled: "Yo, Lao Liu, you kid hasn't been here for a long time? Why, eat steamed buns." Meat buns fresh out of the cage. The man scolded with a smile: "You are a rammer, and you still buy steamed buns, that little flower child took away all your baskets of steamed buns, and I don't know how long it is." ”

Baozi Li was shocked when he heard this, hurriedly looked down to see, sure enough, there was a basket of steamed buns missing, and he turned around angrily to pick up the kitchen knife on the cutting board, and said to the man: "Lao Liu! I'm going to chase that kid, you show me the stall, this meat bun is two dollars a piece, and that vegetable bun is one by one! When I come back, I invite you to eat steamed buns!"

Ying Wan was not happy with his legs and feet, but he could still be seen vaguely. The bun plum was plump, and before he had run a few steps, he was panting, sweating profusely, brandishing a kitchen knife, and passers-by avoided it. If it weren't for the neighborhood, they would have been arrested as madmen.

Baozi Li wiped his sweat while running, and shouted: "Quick, catch that little Hanako, he stole my bun!"

And the person who called Lao Liu saw Baozi Li chasing him out of Laoyuan, and remembered the promise of Baozi Li, but it was also true, he directly grabbed a meat bun casually, took a big bite, ate it with satisfaction, and also opened his throat and shouted for Baozi Li: "Eat steamed buns, buy steamed buns, big and fragrant meat buns just out of the cage!"

Let's say that the bun Li will soon catch up with Ying Wanli, Ying Wanli looked back, and saw that the chasing person was huge, fat, and brandished a kitchen knife, as if the ancient evil came, fierce and vicious, extremely terrifying. I was already frightened, my heart was beating, and I ran forward desperately.

Who knew that under the relentless pursuit of the bun Li, the two ran to the White Horse River in the north of the city of Dongling Mansion one after the other, Ying Wanli only looked behind him, tripped by a stone under his feet, and planted forward with a scream, and threw the cage drawer upward, and the buns fell one after another and landed on the shore. And that should be left in the evening but "plopped" into the river, splashing a huge splash, and in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared.

The bun Li chased to the river, and watched that Ying Wanli was planted in the river, and the pedestrians on the side of the road saw it, but they didn't know what the situation was, and they didn't dare to go into the water to save it. Baozi Li threw down the kitchen knife in a panic, waved his hand and said, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it, it was him, he ran into the river by himself, and it has nothing to do with me!"

The reason why the river is called the White Horse River is precisely because the water flow is turbulent and stirs up white waves, like ten thousand white horses galloping, so it is called the White Horse River. It is about nine feet deep and flows eastward to the sea. There is a bridge that can pass people, but once people fall into the water, they disappear in an instant, and most of them are submerged by the current and washed into the sea, which is difficult to rescue.

Pedestrians on the side of the road hurriedly reported to the government, only to say that a small flower child fell into the White Horse River, so who is Yin Zhuangqiu, the Dongling Mansion, how can he care about such a trivial matter?

Pity that should leave late, it was when he was a heroic boy, and he finally turned into a water ghost and flowed with him.
