Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Purple Embroidered Handkerchief

"Second brother, you see, his thumb points due north and index finger points due east, does it mean that the message he left is in an area that belongs to the northeast?

This man is cunning and cautious, and he will definitely not let this evidence go too far away from him, so we might as well start with his other courtyard?"

"But what do these two horizontal expressions mean?" Kwong Yi still frowned, but he had no clue: "First of all, according to what you said, let's go look it up first." ”

He got up, walked in front of Mu Bai, and patted him on the shoulder twice: "Don't be discouraged, didn't you say before you came out that you would go to your father's grave with the enemy's bloody clothes? ”

Mu Bai looked up at him, for many years, it seemed that he had never seen fatigue and depression in his eyes, only the imperative of the truth.

"Believe me", Kwong Yi stared at him, his hands clenched into fists in front of his chest, his left fist on top, slowly but firmly, and struck three times vertically to his right fist-

This is the highest promise of their armadillo clan, representing a promise that will be done on the word.

Then he handed his right hand to Mu Bai.

Mu Bai looked at the hand in front of him, the knuckles were slender, thin and powerful.

But it was these hands, when they raised their arms and shouted to kill the enemy, they killed the hope of life.

There was a light in his eyes again, and he grasped it with all his might!

Looking at each other and smiling, this is a tacit understanding between men.

......

After cooking Bai Bufan's corpse, Kwong Yi wiped the traces on the ground.

The three of them exited the secret passage, returned to the surface, and then rummaged through the northeast corner of the annex.

Mu Bai was in charge of searching in the house, while Kuang Yi and Chu Tao were searching in the northeast of the courtyard.

Bai Bufan's yard is not small, and the two of them searched around the yard for more than half an hour, but they found nothing, and there was no progress on Mu Bai's side.

Kuang Yi saw that there was still a shallow pond in this area, and he didn't care about the slightly cold weather, so he plunged into the water to look for it.

Hatsu Tao continued to search along the shore.

"Huh?" Hatsumo, who was rummaging through the ground, tripped over a stone under his feet. The small stone shook slightly, leaving its original position, revealing a corner of purple.

Hatsu Tao hurriedly moved the stone away, and dug out a silk handkerchief under a clump of goose intestine grass next to the stone.

"Second brother, come and take a look!"

Kuang Yi heard the sound and went ashore, only to see Chu Tao holding a purple embroidered handkerchief in his hand, and slowly opened it in front of him.

Inside this embroidered papa, there is also a pair of delicate earrings.

These earrings are made into a small dragonfly shape with a filigree process, and the eyes are inlaid with beeswax, which is a very lively style.

And embroidered a bluegrass on the embroidered handkerchief, and embroidered a sentence next to it, "Idle knock on the chess pieces and drop the lanterns." ”

Chu Tao remembered that the previous sentence was "I don't have an appointment to spend the night and a half", and suddenly realized that this daughter who wanted to say goodbye was shy.

A young woman like an orchid in the hollow valley was slightly reserved to wrap her earrings in this silk handkerchief and carefully sent it out.

Later, sitting in the pavilion seemed to be leisurely admiring the scenery, but the action of gently tapping the table with chess revealed the anxiety of waiting.

When the lantern was shaken down, he realized his gaffe, Hongxia flew up his cheeks, and couldn't help but look up - why didn't that person come?

Chu Tao sniffed, and there was still a trace of sweet aftertaste on this silk handkerchief.

Such an atmosphere, don't say that it is Bai Bufan who can't parry, and as a woman, he can't help but break his heart.

Look at the side of the poem again, embroider the word "Muzi" with hairpin flowers.

"Who is this Muzi?" Chu Tao glanced at Kuang Yi and found that there was something wrong with his face.

At this time, Mu Bai also walked over, "Chu Tao, what did you find here?"

Kuang Yi, who was distracted, heard this, and quickly pinched the embroidered handkerchief and wanted to wrap the earrings, but he was still seen by Mu Bai.

"Childe and slow, these earrings are so familiar!"

He stretched out his big hand again and unfolded the embroidered handkerchief, and when he saw the word "Muzi", he suddenly froze in place.

"This ...... How could it be, impossible, absolutely impossible!"

He repeated in a whisper of disbelief, picking up the earrings and reading them several more times.

In the end, his face changed, and he knelt straight in front of Kuang Yi.

"Childe, please believe me, it is absolutely impossible for her to do it!"

Kuang Yi helped him up, "You get up first, between you and me, you don't need to kneel down at every turn." I'm sure she didn't do it. ”

"Childe Mingjian, although my subordinate sister is a little rude and willful, she is definitely not a person who would do such a betrayal!"

What's more, how can I, as an older brother, not know her thoughts?

She is in love with you, how can she be willing to do something to lure a wolf into the house? Mu Bai thought to himself.

But the inscription on this embroidered handkerchief is indeed his sister's name.

And this earring is a gift from A-Niang personally to her on her birthday, she likes it tightly and wears it every day.

Although both Childe and himself believe in his sister's character, this evidence is in front of him.

Otherwise, who contacted Bai Bufan, set out the method of breaking the formation, and spread the news again? and......

Thinking of this, Mu Bai closed his eyes in some despair.

Only the patriarch and his auxiliary disciples will know the exact date in advance, and even the clansmen will know it two days in advance.

But at that time, the enemy seemed to have been planning for a long time, and he must have gotten the news early.

And his sister happened to be one of the three disciples who assisted the patriarch in probing!

"Childe, Mu Bai asked to go back to the clan and confront my sister face to face about this matter, if she really did it, Mu Bai will escort her to Gongzi to confess. ”

"Sister Muzi is my mother's favorite disciple, and I believe in my mother's eye for people.

Mu Bai, you don't need to say much, when this matter is over, I will go back to the clan with you to find out this matter. ”

Kwong Yi thought of the bright and cheerful woman, and in any way could not connect her to these conspiracies.

What if this was Bai Bufan's deliberate framing to disrupt the direction of their search?

He quickly dismissed the possibility.

Bai Bufan died at the hands of the other party, and the other party killed him because he had no use value, and at the same time, he was worried that he would leak the news and wanted to erase this witness.

Bai Bufan had resentment when he died, and he would never help the other party cover it up again.

So there are only two possibilities for now.

First, after killing Bai Bufan, the other party borrowed his hand, so he set up a suspicious array, making them suspicious and separating themselves from Mu Bai.

And then there's ...... It was that person who had already calculated this step when he was planning back then.

Although she used these things as tokens to get in touch with Bai Bufan, she also deceived him, and these are not her things at all!

But what is the explanation of this "Muzi"?

This is indeed the name of Mu Bai's sister, Bai Bufan also knows Mu Zi, and he will never be mistaken.

The only thing known at the moment is the identity of the person who set the trap, which must be a woman.

Kuang Yi couldn't help but think of Ji Chang, but he couldn't help but deny this conjecture.

Although she behaved abnormally in the matter of Guanghan Palace later, at that time, Ji Chang had already been absent from the clan for many years.

She only came once on her mother's birthday, and it was impossible for her to know the information of Yuan Ri, let alone have any intersection with Bai Bufan.

He only felt that there was still a fog in front of him, and the person behind him was like a cat playing with a mouse.

lurking in the shadows, watching them run around again and again, and return again and again in vain.
