Chapter 19: Roots

Ji Xiao said: "Say it, tell me everything you know." ”

"Yesterday I said goodbye to you, so I went to that small courtyard, and to be honest, I was surprised when I got there, because within an hour, except for you, Lichun, and Jingjing, everyone else arrived. We were all surprised and asked each other why everyone else had come this time. Qingming muttered.

Ji Xiaoxin said, "Sure enough", he asked, "What is the reason?"

"It's a coincidence. Qingming seemed uncertain.

Ji Yu said: "How is it possible, in the past two years, have you ever met a time when all of us have arrived?" ”

He absolutely didn't believe it was a coincidence, and if it was, it would be too outrageous.

Qingming said: "You know that most of us are thoughtful people, otherwise how dare we join the twenty-four solar terms, so your doubts now are also our doubts at that time, but we have asked each other and have not found anything wrong." You know it's only the end of February, and I guess everyone is thinking of coming to the secret meeting when there is nothing to do with it, lest you find no time in the future, so that you can't complete the task four times a year. ”

It was as if he had found a reason and convinced himself.

Ji Xiao recalled the secret meetings in the past two years and had to admit that this was also true. But he still thinks that it is not such a simple thing in his heart, and I believe that Qingming also thinks so.

He bowed his head lightly and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now, you tell me now how they all died." ”

Qingming's face changed, and he said astringently: "Don't you already know." ”

"I want you to tell me personally. Ji Xiao's tone was aggravated, at this time, he couldn't be as gentle as in the past. He knew that he couldn't accept that Gu Weirui had suddenly become a murderous maniac with peerless martial arts, and he couldn't connect the delicate girl with last night's scene at all, although he was already convinced in his heart that it was the truth.

Qingming said in fear: "You really think it's martial arts, that's not! I've never seen anyone with such ghostly speed, no, she's the real ghost." Do you know how they died, she just pinched an ice pick the size of a fingernail and stepped on the table and went around, and they all died. ”

Ji Xiao couldn't imagine how fast it was to cause the results like yesterday.

The time of the twenty-one corpses would definitely not be more than one breath, otherwise they should not have died so neatly.

"Do you know why she let you go?" Ji Xiao asked as he held back the turmoil in his heart.

Qingming hugged his head and said: "I don't know, she finally seemed to smell me, I was already shocked, just when she was close to me, I fled outside, but after getting outside, my heart was still full of panic, at that time I saw a figure at the mouth of the alley, quickly attacked me, I hurriedly slapped him, and then the whole body was weak, and then you should know what happened after that." ”

Ji Xiao quickly reacted, why Qingming was alive was because of the jar of wine yesterday. This proves that Gu Weirui has not lost her mind, and she still has memories of the past. Things are getting more and more bizarre.

He believes that a person's temperament will not make such a big change in a short period of time, and he also believes that Gu Weirui is by no means a demon. There must be reasons for this that he does not understand.

Ji Xiao sighed and said, "It was yesterday's wine that saved you." Since she has changed so much, it is natural that you have drunk her dowry wine. She knows that I will let you drink that jar of wine, and that I have great trust in you. ”

Qingming gradually got rid of the state of panic, he regained some of his senses, agreed with Ji Xiao's words, and said: "If this is the case, it can explain why I can survive, but there are still many things that cannot be explained, I now suddenly remember the person who faced me at the mouth of the alley yesterday, although his martial arts are not as terrible as Lichun, but they are also first-class, and if I guess correctly, he is stunned." ”

Ji Xiao was puzzled: "Surprised?"

Qingming recalled carefully, and became more and more affirmed: "It's him." ”

Ji Xiao groaned: "When I arrived yesterday, I didn't find his body, let alone any other traces of fighting. ”

Qingming said: "The martial arts of the sting are the highest among us, although I think he is still not Lichun's opponent, but Lichun will never kill him as easily as killing us." ”

Ji Xiao agrees with this point of view, he has felt Gu Weirui's speed last night, and he has fought with the stinging the night before, so he can judge that the stinging is not as good as Lichun, but it will not be without the strength to fight back. He said, "So, either the sting didn't hit her, or she didn't move at the sting, and the sting didn't move at her." ”

"It should be the latter. Qingming's eyes lit up, he and Ji Xiao were both extremely intelligent, calmed down, and gradually deduced more content.

He said: "When the sting did it with me, he didn't kill me, but his purpose was to prevent me from escaping, if we think that the stinging and Lichun conspired, then the sting must have wanted Lichun to kill me." The reason why Lichun killed me should be the same as killing other people. But the sting shouldn't know that Lichun decided to let me go because of the wine you said, so he stopped me. ”

The more Qingming spoke, the smoother it became, and in the end, the two said in unison: "Motive for killing!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, the more they analyzed, the less terrifying the unknown became, the closer they got to the truth, and their confidence slowly recovered.

There is no mystery in the world that cannot be solved, and there is no truth that can be hidden forever.

Ji Xiao said softly: "What do you think is the motive for the killing?"

"It must not be for wealth, nor for power, nor for the secrets of our martial arts. "Qingming is determined.

Ji Xiao regained his previous composure, and said lightly: "That's really for your life, but what can human life be used for?" He paused and said resolutely: "She has suddenly changed so much, there is definitely a root, I'm looking for her." ”

"Do you really dare to see her?" Qingming hesitated.

Ji Yu said: "Since she didn't kill me yesterday, then why should I be afraid to meet her, but you still don't go." ”

Qingming smiled and said, "I really shouldn't go." He had long known about the extraordinary relationship between Yuan and Lichun, and after what happened last night, he was even more convinced. Lichun may not be able to resist killing him, but the probability of killing Yuan should be low.

............

Zhuo Qing slept comfortably, and then found that it was already dawn. Then he heard the son's command, "Go to the palace." ”

He was stunned and said, "What are we going back to do?" Zhuo Qing was still a little dazed, it seemed that their master and servant had spent the night in the suburbs last night. He really didn't know what Ji Xiao was doing overnight in the suburbs, and he didn't understand why Ji Xiao went back to the mansion early in the morning.

Ji Xiao said: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Zhuo Qing felt that Ji Xiao's speech was a little more majestic than the previous two days, and he was in a hurry, he didn't dare to refute, and honestly drove the carriage to the mansion. Fortunately, the place where they stopped yesterday was a green meadow, so the horses were not hungry, and they ran with great strength, and it did not take long to enter the city, and in a short time they saw the government office.

When Zhuo Qing saw the mansion, he was speechless.
