It's been a month since I saw Jade Xiaoyao again.

Su Qing was surprised to find that after only a month of not seeing him, Yu Xiaoyao had become so haggard.

His eyes were red and swollen, and he seemed to have not slept in days, and a layer of hard stubble had grown on his lips and chin, making him look like he had aged ten years in an instant.

Su Qing looked at his eyes that had lost their luster and didn't ask anything.

There are some things that she doesn't ask, and Yu Xiaoyao will tell her.

If Yu Xiaoyao is unwilling to tell her, then it means that she shouldn't ask.

There are many women who know this truth, but there are very few women who really understand this truth.

Su Qing silently arranged a table of wine and food and placed it in front of Yu Xiaoyao.

Lion's head, blanched dried silk, three sets of duck, squirrel mandarin fish, all dishes are full of color and fragrance, attracting people's appetite fingers and salivating.

But Yu Xiaoyao didn't look at those dishes, just drank wine one after another.

He drank all the wine in the pot, so Su Qing added another pot for him.

After he had drunk five jugs of wine, he finally collapsed on the table.

Su Qing placed him in his room, looking at the haggard face, his heart was full of sadness.

The next day, Yu Xiaoyao woke up, so he continued to drink, this time only four pots, and he couldn't help but hold the railing and vomit, and when he was done, he lay down on the spot and fell asleep.

On the third day, Su Qing filled the table with dishes again, but this time, there was no wine.

Yu Xiaoyao finally spoke, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Where's the wine?"

Su Qing said lightly: "I was drunk by you." ”

Yu Xiaoyao nodded blankly, stood up, and walked out.

Su Qing stopped him, "Where are you going?"

"Find a drink. Jade said.

Su Qing was angry, "Do you want to drink yourself to death?"

Yu Xiaoyao was stunned, smiled sadly, and said, "So what." ”

Su Qing was stunned.

Jade staggered and continued to walk out.

Su Qing suddenly raised his hand and slapped him in the face.

Yu Xiaoyao didn't dodge, and received this slap firmly, and his face quickly became red and swollen.

He never thought that Su Qing would start beating him.

Su Qing said: "I don't know what made you like this, but did you just admit defeat like this?Is this still the Jade Xiaoyao I know!?Is it still the Jade Xiaoyao who can still face with a smile no matter what situation you are in?!"

Yu Xiaoyao felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest, he closed his eyes in pain and asked, "Do you believe that there is justice in this world?"

Su Qing shook her head, she said, "I don't know." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "This shows that you are a person who understands." ”

Su Qing said: "But I don't understand it at all now. ”

Yu Yaoyao said: "I thought there was justice in this world, but now I know that what so-called justice is there, it is just the words of those with vested interests." ”

Su Qing asked, "So you just surrendered like that?"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "In this world, the yellow bell is destroyed, and the tile kettle thunders. I can't change it, so why should I struggle uselessly? ”

Su Qing was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "I remembered a story, you have to listen to me finish telling this story, if you still want to leave at that time, I won't stop you again." ”

Yu Xiaoyao nodded and said, "I'm listening." ”

"I once took a job with a poor and pedantic old pedant, whom I had killed, and who was arguably the strangest of them all. ”

"This old scholar has been a great official, and it is said that he has offended many people, and now he has been dismissed from the official and lives in the house of one of his students who is a prefect. On weekdays, he lives in a secluded house, and it is difficult to see him. ”

"In order to lure him out, I did a lot of homework, and finally found that this old man likes to read, especially Qu Yuan's Lisao and Jiuge. ”

"Where there are preferences, there are weaknesses, and his weaknesses are my chances. ”

"Although few people can sing such an obscure ancient song as Lisao, it is not a difficult thing for me, and it only took half a month for me to compose a new score for Lisao. ”

Then I disguised myself and went to a restaurant near the prefect's mansion, where I sang and sang and sang, only singing the song Lisao. ”

"It didn't take long for the matter to reach the ears of the prefect, and the prefect sent me to be invited to his teacher, the old pedant. ”

"When the old scholar heard my tune, he suddenly asked me, saying, 'Are you here to kill me?'

"I was surprised, firstly, I didn't expect him to guess what I was coming from, and secondly, I didn't expect him to be so calm. ”

But the old pedant told me that he had expected this end from the day he played the recital, so when he heard my singing, he knew that I must have come to kill him. ”

"Because no young girl is going to learn this old tune now," he said. ”

"I wasn't panicking at all, because there were only the two of us there, and even if he saw through it, I could have taken his life at any time, but I didn't rush to do it, because I was curious why he was so calm. ”

"He said to me that the man who hired me was a traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people, and although that traitor was powerful, since he saw that this thief was evil, he could not sit idly by, even if he would be ruined or even killed if he spoke out. ”

I asked him, why do you say it when no one else says it? ”

He laughed, he said, the husband does things, but he wants to be worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of his heart, why must he ask for a result?

"But you still killed him in the end?" said Yu.

Su Qing nodded and said, "He really likes Lisao very much, he recited the sentences in Lisao and went to death calmly." I've killed so many people, and I've never seen a person die with such firmness and calmness in their eyes. ”

Yu Xiaoyao asked, "What sentence is he reciting?"

Su Qing looked into his eyes and said softly: "I am also good at what I have done, although I have not regretted it even if I have died nine times." ”

Yu Xiaoyao chewed this sentence carefully twice, suddenly slapped the table, and laughed loudly, "Yes, yes, it's me who is in love! Just like Feng Lilong said, when you encounter injustice, you will be slashed with a sword, why bother asking so many causes and consequences, right and wrong, hahahahaha, I understand, I understand." ”

"What do you understand?" asked Su Qing.

Yu Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, he pointed to his heart, and said: "As long as there is justice here, then there will be justice in this world." ”

Su Qing's eyes also lit up, and the Yu Xiaoyao she knew finally came back, "Then what are you going to do next?"

Yu Xiaoyao blinked and said, "I'm going to eat all the dishes on this table first." ”

He quickly ate a large table of dishes, and when the dishes were finished, his spirit was completely restored.

"Next," Yu said freely, "We are going to do a big thing that will cause a sensation in the martial arts!"

Two days later, a large banner suddenly hung up at the head of the Interpretation Building, with five big characters written on it: "The Jade Butterfly Cup is here." ”

As soon as this banner was hung out, it was really like what Yu Xiaoyao said, and it immediately caused a sensation in the entire martial arts, and countless heroes of the rivers and lakes flocked to Yangzhou, wanting to go to the interpretation building to find out, but they were all turned away without exception.

Tang Yeyun, the new master of the Tang Sect, who was thousands of miles away, also got the news, and it was said that he was rushing overnight to retrieve this treasure of the Tang Sect.

For a time, the eyes of the entire rivers and lakes were focused on this green building in Yangzhou City.

At the same time, Yu Xiaoyao openly appeared in the Jieyu Building, and sat at the head of the Jieyu Building all night drinking, and there was also the hostess of the Jieyu Building, the mysterious Qin girl stroking the piano on the side.

This attitude has attracted countless speculations.

For five days, night after night.

Until the sixth day, the white lantern suddenly hung up at the head of the Xie Yu Building, and Yu Xiaoyao and Qin Girl did not appear.

At this time, Yu Xiaoyao and Su Qing were standing quietly in the atrium, a golden knife flying back and forth between Yu Xiaoyao's fingers.

The golden knife appeared at the door early in the morning.

Tang Qi and Tang Yelin are both dead, so who sent this golden knife?

A black figure floated gently down from the roof and landed in front of them.

A black figure with a golden mask.

"Jade is free. The man spoke.

Yu Xiaoyao laughed softly, "Should I call you the Golden Knife Sixth?" or the commander?"

The man froze for a moment, then suddenly reached out and took off the mask from his face.

It was the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

"You're a smart man. The commander said.

Yu Xiaoyao sighed, "I should have thought a long time ago that Jinyiwei is the Liuhe Sword, and your commander is the real Golden Knife Sixth." ”

The commander asked, "What else do you know?"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "I also know that Tang Qi is your biological son, and you are Tang Feng, who suddenly disappeared thirty years ago, the real Golden Knife Sixth. ”

The commander, or Tang Feng, laughed, "Now even I have to admire you." How did you find out? Did Cher tell you? She must not be dead, where is she now?"

Yu Xiaoyao shook her head and said, "Lady Xue is dead, but the letters she exchanged with Yang Tianci inspired me and allowed me to discover this secret. ”

"Oh?" Tang Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you say?"

Yu Xiaoyao said: "I remember you once said that Yang Tianci is your most trusted subordinate, and you once sent him to secretly search for the traces of the Liuhe Knife, didn't you?"

Tang Feng nodded.

Yu Xiaoyao said: "I have always had many questions, why did Yang Tianci find me? He used Tang Qi to threaten me when he first met me, did he already know Tang Qi's identity at that time? Otherwise, why would he have something to do with Tang Qi? Also, Yang Tianci asked me to visit the Liuhe Dao at the same time, and also asked me to find the Jade Butterfly Cup, it can be said that there is no connection between the two at all, what is his intention?"

Tang Feng asked, "Then you have figured it out now?"

"Figured it out. Yu Xiaoyao said, "All along, I thought that Yang Tianci took out Tang Qi's short blade on Cuiwei Pavilion to make me think that he had caught Tang Qi and used it to blackmail me, but now that I think about it, he may not have been threatening me at all, but hinting at me that Tang Qi and Liuhe Dao had some kind of connection. ”

"When I saw Yang Tianci's letter to Madame Xue, and then thought of the story he told me when I met Madame Xue for the first time, all kinds of clues led me to the Tang Gate. I realized that all this was premeditated, and they were deliberately leading me to the Tang Gate. ”

"Then I thought of the night in White Emperor City, you said that the Golden Dao Sixth came and killed Yang Tianci and took Tang Qi away. When I heard it at the time, I naturally thought you were talking about Tang Yelin. But then I thought about it and found a couple of loopholes. ”

"What loophole?" Tang Feng asked.

Yu Xiaoyao said: "First, Tang Qi came to me and wanted me to deal with Tang Yelin, so naturally he couldn't let Tang Yelin know, so it was impossible for Tang Yelin to kill Yang Tianci at that time." Since it wasn't Tang Yelin, it must have been another person with strong martial arts who killed Yang Tianci and took Tang Qi away, so if this person with strong martial arts was also Tang Qi's friend and part of his plan, then why didn't this person show up from beginning to end?"

"Then I suddenly realized that that night, there was indeed a person with strong martial arts who appeared there, and he was also a master of hidden weapons, and that was you. ”

"I had a strange feeling that night, I easily caught the chess pieces you sent, even a little too easy, and now that I think about it, you must have hidden your strength at that time, and didn't want me to notice you. ”

The commander smiled, "I did lie to you at that time. ”

Yu Xiaoyao smiled and said, "In addition, there is another loophole that I only noticed later. ”

The commander said, "I'm listening." ”

"Later, when you were in Yiling, you took out the box with the severed hand, and at that time, even me, all the people were deceived by you. If you really value your granddaughter so much as you said, that night in the White Emperor City, you just received a box with your granddaughter's severed hand, how could you spend all your time playing chess with me?"

"Ah, hahahaha. The commander laughed, "Indeed, I was out of my mind. ”

Yu Xiaoyao said: "So, it is indeed the Golden Knife Sixth who killed Yang Tianci, but this Golden Knife Sixth is not Tang Yelin, but you!"

"But at this time, another question arises, why did you kill Yang Tianci?"

"There is only one possibility, and that is that Yang Tianci has discovered your secret. ”

"I didn't think about these questions, but these letters from Yang Tianci strung together all my questions. ”

"Thirty years ago, Lady Snow was the person close to you, so she should be very close to you. But when she heard that Liuhe Dao had reappeared in the rivers and lakes, her first reaction was to frantically expand her recruiting strength in order to protect herself, and she found her old friend Yang Tianci to plan this matter together, which shows that she has nothing on her that you covet. ”

This sentence was very strange, Tang Feng asked, "What is it?"

"Jade Butterfly Cup. ”
