......

When I returned to the study, the dark hour of the night had passed.

In the distance, there was a touch of luxurious fish belly white.

Sleepiness hit, and everyone fell asleep.

But Lao Hei was the only one sitting in the courtyard with a melancholy expression, he was not a weak-willed person, so naturally he wouldn't be unable to sleep because of the killing tonight.

Xiao Che noticed him, walked up to him and handed him a jug of wine: "Here." ”

Lao Hei glanced at him and nodded: "Thank you." ”

Xiao Che sat down next to Lao Hei and said, "Something?"

Lao Hei smiled and nodded: "Yes, indeed." ”

As soon as he spoke, he opened his voice and hummed a minor key, which was loud and powerful, and had a strong penetrating and infectious power in this night, and there seemed to be a faint sadness in the minor key, so that the listener could not help but feel the sadness in the heart of the person who hummed.

The tune changes, sometimes with joy, sometimes with desolation.

Xiao Che listened quietly, intoxicated, as if he had seen Lao Hei's past.

However, the minor key became more and more sad, and finally Lao Hei even hummed the minor key with a slight cry, and his face was already covered with tears before he knew it.

The voice fell silent, and the pitch-black space fell into a suffocating silence, Xiao Che seemed to be caught in that sad rhyme, and only after a long time did he speak: "Why hum such a sad tune?"

Lao Hei took a deep breath, and his voice trembled slightly: "There was once a very ordinary and simple woman who carried me home with an oil umbrella in the ice and snow, and gave me food and shelter, and at that time she told me: 'As long as I live, I will not let you starve and freeze.'" ’”

Lao Hei smiled, his eyes seemed to be looking into the distance, and then said, "She is the best woman I have ever met in my life. ”

Xiao Che said: "What about later?"

Lao Hei's eyes suddenly dimmed, his voice became extremely low, and he choked up: "Later, she died." ”

After speaking, hot tears fell to the ground one by one.

Very sad story.

Xiao Che's pupils froze for a moment, and he looked at Lao Hei's face full of tears in a daze, he didn't ask how she died, because he had guessed that her death must have a lot to do with Wanhe Restaurant and Huo Wuming, otherwise Lao Hei's eyes staring at Huo Wuming would not be so complicated.

Lao Hei snorted, and continued: "From that time on, I fell into the darkness of loneliness again, practicing frantically every day, and came to the Divine Capital from thousands of miles away, all I wanted was... It's just four words: blood debt and blood repayment. ”

Xiao Che asked, "Is it just Huo Wuming alone?"

Lao Hei shook his head: "He is just an accomplice, and it was the owner of Wanhe Winery who killed her, Yu Leng." ”

As he spoke, he looked up at the cold moon that was about to set, and muttered, "Jinran, I miss you." ”

Jin Ran - Xiao Che silently wrote down the name.

Xiao Che stopped talking, sat quietly beside Lao Hei, and accompanied him for a while.

After being silent for a while, Lao Hei took a sip of wine, and suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Che and said, "Xiao Che, can you play a song for me?"

Xiao Che nodded: "Of course." ”

As he spoke, he took out the heart-washing guqin and put it on his knees, and his fingertips stroked the ice-like strings, and the whole person's temperament seemed to change suddenly, as if bathed in holy brilliance.

With both hands stroking the piano and fingertips beating, the gentle and tranquil notes melt into the void one by one, flowing quietly.

The sound of the piano is clear and ethereal, with a sense of purifying the soul, which makes Lao Hei fall into a quiet and peaceful atmosphere and forget his troubles.

Pure heart under the moon.

This piece is the first piece of music given by the predecessors of the music, the artistic conception is deep and beautiful, although it does not require a very deep piano talent, but this artistic conception will subtly affect the player, making his 'sound heart' pure.

Lao Hei Yao stared at the sky, listening to Xiao Che's piano music in his ears, the sadness in his eyes gradually faded, and then he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Xiao Che pointed to the sound of the piano and gradually stopped, glanced at Lao Hei, and shook his head sympathetically.

......

Following.

A group of figures came towards the Nanxi study.

His face was gloomy.

The man at the head was wearing a gray robe, and there was a faint threat between the dark pupils and shadows, and there was a cold coldness on his body, as if frost appeared in the surrounding space.

The owner of Wanhe Winery, Yu Qiu.

In front of the study, a guard flickered, stopped him, and shouted, "Who dares to break into the study?"

Yu Qiu didn't even bother to take a look, his footsteps stepped straight forward, and his long hair was scattered without wind.

The guards shouted, "Stop!"

"Get out!"

A deep voice spat out from Yu Qiu's mouth, and I saw his gray sleeve robe wave violently, and in an instant, the guards who were blocking it were lifted out.

"It's... Knowing the Holy Realm?!"

Everyone around them was shocked and exclaimed.

The guards who had been swept out glanced at each other, and then flew towards the depths of the study at the same time.

Yu Qiu led a group of people to the central region, and someone suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

In the midst of the cheers, I saw a streamer flickering, and in an instant, a slender shadow appeared in front of Yu Qiu.

Yu Qiu frowned slightly, and said lightly: "You are... Study Saint Mu Wan'er?"

Mu Wan'er said with a cold face: "Yu Qiu Zhuang Master acts like this, it is inevitable that he will not take my Nanxi study in his eyes, right?"

Yu Qiu smiled indifferently and said coldly: "Little girl, go find someone who can talk." ”

Mu Wan'er clenched her silver teeth, her eyes were angry, but she was more worried, because she had guessed what Yu Qiu was here, but what she didn't know was that what happened last night, how did Yu Qiu know that it was related to the study?

Is it the secret of Qiu Nan's telling?

At the right time, an elder from the depths of the study walked slowly, stared at Yu Qiu, and said lightly: "The owner of Yu Qiu Zhuang came to the study, I don't know what is important?"

Yu Qiu said coldly: "I, the head of Wanhe Restaurant, Huo Wusheng, died at the hands of the disciples of the study, I am here to ask for someone, and the study will not stop this matter, right?"

The elder smiled and said: "The study is inseparable from the word rules, it is reasonable for the owner of Yu Zhuang to come here to ask for someone, I don't know who the person is asking for?"

Mu Wan'er said nervously, "Elder Lin Zheng." ”

Lin Zheng waved his hand to signal her not to continue.

Looking at this scene, Yu Qiu sneered, and said slowly: "Xiao Che." ”

Lin Zheng turned his head to look at the several study disciples behind him and said, "Let Xiao Che come over." ”

Mu Wan'er intercepted: "I'll go." ”

With that, she ran towards the depths of the study.

Yu Qiu's eyes showed a look of satisfaction.

......

When Mu Wan'er came, Xiao Che hadn't woken up yet.

It took a few shouts to pull him out of his dream.

Mu Wan'er gasped and said, "Xiao Che, Yu Qiu broke into the study and wanted to get you." ”

Xiao Che's eyes froze: "How did Yu Qiu know about last night's incident?"

Dazhi clenched his fists, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Young master, it must be the secret of Qiu Nan's telling, we should have killed him at that time." ”

Xiao Che fell silent.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Che suddenly said: "It doesn't matter if you say this at this time, since the matter has been revealed, you have to face it." ”

With that, Xiao Che raised his feet and walked out of the courtyard.

Xiao Hong said: "I'll accompany you." ”

Dazhi and Lao Hei also followed.

Xiao Che stopped and persuaded in a deep voice: "I was the only one who didn't wear a face last night, even if that Yu Qiu knew that I had an accomplice, but he didn't dare to bite at will, and besides, the only person he wanted to take was me, so you were cowardly when you went." ”

Dazhi is still not at ease: "Young master..."

Xiao Che patted him on the shoulder, didn't let him continue, and instead left the courtyard with Mu Wan'er.

In the central area of the study, Yu Qiu stood with his hands in his hands, and the cold meaning circulating on his body still did not dissipate.

At this moment, there were people all around, and someone in the crowd said, "Xiao Che is here." ”

Xiao Che paused, glanced at Yu Qiu lightly, and then looked at Lin Zheng's long body: "Elder Lin Zheng." ”

Lin Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "Xiao Che, the owner of Yu Qiu Zhuang said that you killed Huo Wusheng, the head of Wanhe Restaurant, last night, but is there such a thing?"

Xiao Che shook his head and said seriously: "The disciple doesn't know. ”

Yu Qiu snorted coldly and shouted: "Do you still have to quibble at this time? Do you think you can hide if you don't admit it?"

Xiao Che suddenly laughed, stared at Yu Qiu and said, "If I say that I did this, you will be very satisfied, right?"

Yu Qiu said: "Of course." ”

Xiao Che said: "Okay, then I confess, this matter is what I Xiao Che did." ”

Yu Qiu said: "You are considered to be... Do you admit it?"

"Fart. Xiao Che shouted angrily: "You led someone to break into the study and bluntly take me, if I say that this matter is not what I did for you, can you let me go?"

Yu Qiu shouted: "Sophistry." ”

Xiao Che smiled self-deprecatingly, and his speech suddenly increased, and he shouted: "I'm sophistry? Should I face your unprovoked framing and not defend a word? I should wait for death? What kind of mentality do you think of me as a fool?"

Yu Qiu brushed his sleeve robe and said mockingly: "What a sharp-toothed boy, he is still so stubborn when he dies." ”

Xiao Che suddenly chuckled and said, "I'm curious why the owner of Yu Zhuang is so sure that I, Xiao Che, am the murderer of Huo Wuming?"

Yu Qiu said coldly: "That's because someone saw it with their own eyes." ”

Xiao Che took a step forward and said, "Who is that person?"

Yu Qiu was speechless, because all he received was a short note, and the name of Xiao Che was written on the short note.

Xiao Che continued: "Hmm, why didn't Master Yu speak?"

Yu Qiu sarcastically said: "That man was afraid of being killed, so he only left a short note, and did not see the real person." ”

Xiao Che laughed out loud and said coldly: "With just a short note and a name, it is really a joke that the owner of Yu Zhuang is so strong and goes straight to the study." ”

Yu Qiu's eyes became extremely fierce, and he said angrily: "You ......"

Lin Zheng intercepted and shouted, "Okay." ”

He looked at Xiao Che, then at Yu Qiu, and said coldly: "I have already heard this matter, Master Yuzhuang, since there is no real evidence, today's matter is really a bit reckless." ”

Yu Qiu's face was pale, he glared at Xiao Che angrily, and snorted coldly: "I won't just forget this matter." ”

With that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Lin Zheng shouted: "Wait." ”

The two simple words, but the tone contained in them is extremely cold.

Yu Qiu said angrily: "Elder Lin still has something?"

Elder Lin Zheng smiled coldly, the aura circulating on his body became more and more cold, and the surrounding space was actually a frost that was visible to the naked eye gradually converging, extremely dazzling.

Yu Qiu's eyes froze angrily and said, "What does Elder Lin mean?"

Lin Zheng said lightly: "You forcibly broke into the study today and slandered my study disciple, and now you want to leave so easily?

Yu Qiu was speechless: "......"

Lin Zheng continued: "I do things according to the rules of the study, you come, I will give you a chance to speak, but if you are reasonable, it's fine, but you are not reasonable." ”

Lin Zheng's voice was even colder, and he said slowly: "Shouldn't the owner of Yu Zhuang give an explanation to the study?"

Yu Qiu said coldly: "What does Elder Lin Zheng want to explain?"

Lin Zheng said lightly: "Admit your guilt, apologize, cut off your palm, and get out." ”

Yu Qiu shouted angrily: "It's too much, right?"

Lin Zheng's voice was higher, his tone was colder, and he said, "Isn't it too much for you to frame my study disciple with the intention of killing him?"

When Xiao Che heard this, there was a trickle of warmth flowing through his heart.

Boom Boom –

At this moment, a thunderous sound of breaking wind came from a distance, and the hearts of everyone around them trembled violently.

I saw a white-robed old man flickering in the void, and appeared in this space in an instant.

The crowd exclaimed, "That's ...... Li Fangxiu, Lecturer Li?"

Yu Qiu's pupils suddenly contracted, an inexplicable chill gushed out in his heart, and a dense layer of sweat appeared on his forehead at some point.

Elder Lin Zheng shook his body and clenched his fists and said, "Lecturer Li." ”

Li Fangxiu nodded lightly.

Xiao Che also gave a deep salute and said, "Lecturer Li." ”

Li Fangxiu nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, today's matter will not be wronged to you." ”

As he spoke, he took a step towards Yu Qiu, and suddenly a cold aura suddenly spread out from Zhou Tian, instantly sweeping Yu Qiu's body, Yu Qiu only felt stiff, and even his blood froze.

Yu Qiu hurriedly begged for mercy: "Lecturer Li, I misunderstood. ”

Li Fangxiu's footsteps slowly walked forward, and the chill around his body deepened with each step, and he frowned: "Misunderstanding?

Yu Qiu's face showed a hideous look, and he said bitterly: "Really... It's really a misunderstanding. ”

Li Fangxiu's footsteps did not stop, the chill around his body did not decrease, and he said lightly: "Since when can Nanxi Study be allowed to be forcibly broken into by others? and since when can the study disciples be framed indiscriminately and at will? Hmm? Yu Qiu, you tell me?"

Yu Qiu's throat seemed to be about to freeze, and he choked up: "Know... Know your mistakes. ”

Li Fangxiu's five fingers slowly poked forward, tightly clasped Yu Qiu's throat, and said lightly: "I was used as a gun by others and didn't know it, Yu Qiu, you don't have a brain, do you?"

Bang Bang –

Li Fangxiu suddenly threw Yu Qiu into the air, and then slapped his palm on his chest, and the frosty aura exploded, and the frost flooded it.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Qiu collapsed to the ground like a dead dog, trembling all over.

The hearts of the crowd trembled wildly, and they exclaimed, "Lecturer Li is mighty. ”

Xiao Che's pupils also shrank slightly, thinking that he had escaped Lecturer Li's class so many times, Lecturer Li's temper was so explosive, fortunately he didn't use it on himself, otherwise it would be really miserable.

Li Fangxiu glanced at Yu Qiu on the ground, and spit out a cold voice from his mouth: "Get out, if you dare to step into the study for half a step, I will kill it." ”

The people around Yu Qiu all trembled wildly, and they lifted Yu Qiu and ran away.

......

Li Fangxiu walked up to Lin Zheng and said, "Elder Lin, I want to ask you a few words. ”

Lin Zheng said: "Lecturer Li, please speak." ”

Li Fangxiu said: "Yu Qiu said that he wanted to take Xiao Che, so you really ordered someone to bring Xiao Che?"

Elder Lin Zheng was speechless for a moment.

Xiao Che sensed the subtlety of the space, stood up and said with a smile: "Master Li, Elder Lin also does things according to the rules. ”

Li Fangxiu looked at Lin Zheng and said, "If Yu Qiu really comes up with conclusive evidence, will you really ask him to take Xiao Che away?"

Lin Zheng said without hesitation: "Of course not, how could the disciple of the study be taken away when others said they would take it away?"

Li Fangxiu said: "Since you won't, then I don't understand the reason why you ordered someone to bring Xiao Che over, isn't it good to directly convict Yu of revenge by forcibly breaking into the study?"

Lin Zheng scratched his head, it did make sense.

Li Fangxiu patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Elder Lin, it's good to act according to the rules of the study, but it also depends on who you think Yu Qiu is worthy of your chance to speak?"

Lin Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "Understood." ”

Li Fangxiu looked at Xiao Che and said with a slight smile: "Go back, if the people from Wanhe Winery are difficult for you, find me." ”

Xiao Che gave a deep bow and said, "Thank you, Master Li." ”

Li Fangxiu nodded and turned to leave.

Xiao Che looked at Elder Lin Zheng and said with the same salute, "Thank you Elder Lin too." ”

Lin Zheng smiled and shook his head.

Looking at this scene, everyone around was stunned, Lecturer Li and Elder Lin Zheng actually valued Xiao Che so much, and these simple words were almost all defending him.

Xiao Che knew these in his heart, and his feelings for Nanxi Study were getting stronger and stronger.

......

Walking on the way back to his residence, Xiao Che's mind never stopped thinking, and his eyes were empty.

Mu Wan'er asked, "What do you want?"

Xiao Che said: "I'm wondering who will tell the secret." ”

Mu Wan'er frowned slightly and said, "You actually believe so much that it won't be Qiu Nan's secret?"

Xiao Che nodded heavily: "Yes, I believe." ”

Mu Wan'er asked curiously, "Why?"

Xiao Che pondered and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because I always feel like a person, and that person is a person I trust, or maybe he is trustworthy?"

He shook his head fiercely and said, "Anyway, I can't tell. ”

Mu Wan'er sighed helplessly and said, "Since you don't want to believe that it is Qiu Nanzhi, most of the informants are King Qi's people." ”

She thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "Xi Fan is also possible." ”

Xiao Che's eyes condensed slightly, and he muttered, "Xi Fan?"

Mu Wan'er seemed to think of something, and said, "By the way, what are you going to do over there, Xi Fan?"

Xiao Che said: "Now that Huo Wu's life has been planted, Xi Fan has probably sensed the danger, so don't move him for a few days, let him be comfortable for two more days." ”

Mu Wan'er asked again, "Then what are you going to do?"

Xiao Che smiled: "As a study saintess, you are familiar with the battle of the saints, right?"

......
