Ximen Zairen frowned: "Then there is no one in this river and lake who can kill the evil thief of Dawei Demon?"

Ximen Kuanghui looked at the sky with a blank expression, and said for a while: "Although I have never met Chu Jinglian, since he is the master of the Qingtian Pavilion, he must not be idle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info believes that he will find a good way. ”

Late at night, it rained heavily in Yangzhou. Every now and then, a flash of lightning flashed through the night sky, and the dazzling light covered the dark earth with a silvery frost. Chen Qiaoxin was about to go to bed to rest, and with a "bang", a person pushed the door and broke in. Chen Qiaoxin hurriedly turned over and grabbed the bamboo cane beside him: "What person?"

"Big brother, it's me. While speaking, Chen Qiaoxin had already heard that it was the second brother Qiu Yintao. Chen Qiaoxin put down the bamboo cane and lit the oil lamp on the table.

Under the faint light, Qiu Yintao's whole body was as wet as a chicken in soup.

Chen Qiaoxin hurriedly found a towel to wipe the rain off Qiu Yintao's body, and then found a set of clean clothes for Qiu Yintao to change into.

In the interval between Qiu Yintao's change of clothes, Chen Qiaoxin asked, "Where did you go? Where did your junior sister Wushuang be? Why didn't you come back?"

Qiu Yintao was stunned when he heard this, and then asked anxiously, "Senior sister hasn't come back yet?"

As soon as Qiu Yintao finished speaking, Chen Qiaoxin grabbed Qiu Yintao's clothes in front of him and said, "Wushuang didn't come back, what the hell is going on!"

Qiu Yintao sat down on the stool dejectedly and briefly recounted the past and back of himself and Lu Wushuang.

Since the boat capsized, Qiu Yintao fell into the river. Fortunately, he was very good at the water and finally swam to the riverbank. But the river was rushing and turbulent, and by the time he got ashore, it was no longer the place where he had been on the boat. Qiu Yintao searched around along the riverside, saying that he couldn't find a trace of Lu Wushuang. Later, Qiu Yintao found a boatman to cross the river and look for it again, but still did not find Lu Wushuang's whereabouts. He was very anxious, thinking that even if his sister died, there would be a corpse.

Suddenly, he slapped his mouth hard: "Nonsense! How could the senior sister die? Maybe, maybe she ran back to Yangzhou? This is very likely." A strong psychological hint made Qiu Yintao immediately rush towards Yangzhou City. He didn't sleep at all along the way. Buy a few pieces of bread when you're hungry, and drink a few sips of water when you're thirsty. But when he returned to Jingxian Academy, Lu Wushuang did not come back at all. The hope in his heart was shattered like a hedron with a hammer. He was stunned on the spot, his mind blank.

After hearing this, Chen Qiaoxin was stunned and speechless for a long time, and suddenly he raised his right arm. Just listened, with a "snap", Qiu Yintao's left cheek was swollen for three points.

Chen Qiaoxin was furious at this time, his eyes were about to split, and he pointed at Qiu Yintao and scolded: "What should I say about you." If you don't let the evil of the earth be caused, you will cause the trouble of the heavens. How good the junior sister is that follows you to become so restless. If you had listened to my advice at the beginning, why would there be such a catastrophe. If you can't find it, I'll skin you raw. ”

Qiu Yintao knelt on his knees and burst into tears: "Senior brother, I was wrong. A thousand mistakes, it's all my fault. As long as my sister can be safe, I am willing. It's just that if the junior sister falls into the hands of this Da Wei demon, I'm afraid that it will already be at this time..."

Chen Qiaoxin calmed down and said, "If the junior sister really encounters an accident, I, Chen Qiaoxin, will chase to the ends of the earth and vow to kill this demon." I'll call your junior brother Guo Chong first, and then ask Chu Yuan to take a leave, I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back. ”

Chen Qiaoxin went to the side room to find Guo Chong and briefly told him the reason for the incident. Guo Chong hadn't finished listening, and he was already in tears.

Guo Chong wandered his two big eyes and said, "Senior brother, I really can't wait, what else are we talking to Chu Yuanwai." Let's go now. ”

Chen Qiaoxin waved his hand and said, "The husband comes and goes innocently, and he must do things clearly." You wait here, and I'll go to Chu Mansion to take leave. ”

Qiu Yintao looked at the sky outside and said, "Now that the second watch has passed, the city gate has been closed, so let's wait for dawn." ”

Chen Qiaoxin patted his head: "I'm confused in this hurry." I can't sleep right now. Rest quickly. I packed up and brought my silver and a few clothes. There is a carriage in the backyard. We'll leave on the fifth watch. ”

Where could Qiu Yintao and Guo Chong sleep, they helped Chen Qiaoxin pack up the things they needed, and the three of them sat on their respective beds in a daze.

Finally survived until the fifth watch, the three of them hurriedly packed their bags and set off from the backyard in a carriage.

Chen Qiaoxin looked at the back door of Jingxian Academy, and felt inexplicable emotion in his heart. I couldn't help but say to myself: "I'm afraid it's hopeless to come back in this life." ”

Qiu Yintao and Guo Chong sat in the carriage with Chen Qiaoxin in their arms, and both of them were silent. Guo Chong was dressed in a cloak and drove the carriage in front. After a while, the carriage went out of the West Gate and went straight to Chu Mansion.

At this time, the rain gradually stopped, and the carriage came to the gate of the Chu Mansion. Chen Qiaoxin jumped out of the carriage and stepped forward to knock on the door knocker.

After a while, the door opened, and an old man flashed inside: "It turned out to be Master Chen, why did you come so early." ”

Chen Qiaoxin arched his hand apologetically and said, "Steward Chu, I have something important to ask to see Chu Yuan, please bother to give me some time." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Come in, we're all so acquainted." I'll take you in. ”

Guo Chong tied the horse to the stake in front of the door, and Chen Qiaoxin and Qiu Yintao walked into the Chu Mansion with the Chu steward. Although this Chu Mansion is very large, there are very few people. The first time Chen Qiaoxin and Qiu Yintao entered the Chu Mansion, they felt that it was empty and eerie. The three of them walked all the way to the second courtyard, and Steward Chu motioned for Chen Qiaoxin and the two to wait at the bottom of the steps, then walked to the door of the upper room and knocked lightly: "Grandfather, have you gotten up?"

A crisp voice sounded: "Ah Fu, come in." ”

Chu Fu gently pushed open the door, and saw Chu Jinglian sitting on a circle chair of golden silk nanmu in the middle of the upper room, drinking tea.

Chu Fu gave Chu Jinglian a respectful salute and said, "Grandfather Qi, Chen Qiaoxin of Jingxian Academy asked to see him outside the door, saying that there is something important to discuss. ”

Chu Jinglian put down the teacup, stood up, and walked outside the door.

Chen Qiaoxin saw Chu Jinglian walking out of the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The villain is outside the staff." ”

Chu Jinglian walked down the steps, picked up Chen Qiaoxin, and smiled slightly: "Sir, don't be polite." What does the gentleman want to see me this morning?"

Chen Qiaoxin forced a smile on his face and said, "The villain has been taken care of by outsiders, and he has found a good job in Jingxian Academy, I am very grateful." There is an important matter to leave Yangzhou today, and I would like to say goodbye to the staff. ”

Chu Jinglian looked at Qiu Yintao next to him, and then at Chen Qiaoxin.

Qiu Yintao's eyes were dull and confused.

Although Chen Qiaoxin's expression was quite calm, the smile on his face was very stiff.
