Su Zhuo walked back alone with a full stomach. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he didn't tell Yan Linglong about his discovery, because it was not yet time. And my guess is not necessarily right, and there are some joints that are difficult to figure out. Although the surface of Juyi Villa is calm, there is a turbulence in the dark. Now the situation seems to be walking a tightrope, and if you are not careful, you will never recover. Not only can't he save Warburg Pincus, but he may also put himself in it.

Su Zhuo kept telling himself to think again. Although with the assistance of the Wuyi Sword Sect and Master Huaishan and others, it was still difficult to fight against Juyi Villa. Qu Shengzhou is a reckless man and a gambler. It's hard to calculate what such a person will do.

With full thoughts, he returned to his hospital alone, and saw a man sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard from a distance. In the middle of the moon, the moonlight shone on the man's face, revealing a sense of serenity and kindness. Su Zhuo saw his face, and all the troubles and calculations in his heart seemed to dissipate in an instant.

He stepped forward slowly and saluted respectfully: "Master is well, you haven't rested so late?"

Huaishan smiled slightly, made a gesture of please, and said lightly: "I'm not the only one who can't sleep tonight!"

He watched Su Zhuo sit down on the stone bench opposite, and said, "Su Zhuo, you came to Juyi Villa not just for Lu Qingchen's business, right?"

Su Zhuo's face showed apology, but he still nodded, and said, "Don't hide it from the master, I came here for a friend." Who knew that he happened to encounter the Wuyi Sword Sect, so he took matters into his own hands and invited you, the master. ”

Huaishan said: "The most proud thing about your master back then was that he knew how to take advantage of the situation to calculate. Therefore, although he was alone, he relied on his own wisdom and scheming, and made a name for himself in the troubled times. If it weren't for the people of the Four Seas Alliance who sent me the letter, and I happened to hear about their righteous deeds in Licheng, maybe I wouldn't have come. ”

Su Zhuo didn't know whether he was complimenting or deprecating in his words, and it was difficult to answer for a while. Huaishan paused, and then said: "However, what makes you superior to the Lingshi is that you still have a pure heart after all. If your master is here, he will definitely use us to check and balance Qu Shengzhou, and then finish his own business tonight and leave. and will not be like you, who really want to solve Lu Qingchen's mystery. ”

Su Zhuo couldn't help but wonder: "How does the master know that I must solve this puzzle?"

Huaishan said with a smile: "Just now in that deserted garden, you had already thought of something, but at a critical juncture, you gave up continuing to explore. I don't think you're scared, are you?"

Su Zhuo was taken aback, I don't know how Huaishan would know this, could it be ......

Huaishan then answered his doubts: "Actually, as soon as you go out, I will know. So I also quietly followed behind you, wanting to see what was attracting you in this Juyi Villa, so that so many people didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and they all ran away one by one!"

Su Zhuo was puzzled: "You mean ......?"

Huaishan nodded and said, "That's right, as soon as He Yan and the two of them returned to the house, they went out." Their light skills in practicing swords are naturally very good, but they can't escape the ears of the old monks. In fact, I have already guessed their thoughts, and it is for this reason that I invited them to come. It is difficult for the Wuyi Sword Sect to compete with Juyi Villa, but if the three major sword factions join forces, it may not be. Although He Yanluo and Bai Sanjian behaved fairly during the day, they were still suspicious of Qu Shengzhou in their hearts. Therefore, at night, they must have wanted to see what secrets Qu Shengzhou had. But I think they must be going to fetch water with a bamboo basket tonight, because Qu Shengzhou is not in the villa at all!"

Su Zhuo was even more shocked, and muttered, "Not in the villa, then where will he go?"

Huaishan shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "That's not something I could guess. ”

Su Zhuo was silent for a moment, he needed to digest what he had just heard. The information Huaishan said undoubtedly implies more meaning, but it is difficult to say what it is for the time being. The quiet night of Juyi Villa looks plain on the surface, but there is an undercurrent surging in the dark. No one knows which undercurrent will suddenly sweep people away.

As the night deepened, Su Zhuo didn't dare to delay time, and hurriedly asked, "Since the master understands my heart, can you tell me something?"

Huaishan smiled slightly and said; Otherwise, do you think that the monk and I have not slept so late have come out to admire the moon? But before I speak, the monk wants to advise you not to go against Wei Qian! I know that you have been investigating the Wei family since you were in Yuezhou. But the forces behind Wei Qian are unimaginable. If you believe me, when you meet the Wei family in the future, you will retreat!"

Su Zhuo was slightly stunned in his heart, but he chuckled lightly on his face, and said, "The master is here to be a lobbyist for Wei Qian?"

Huaishan sighed, knowing that he was determined, and it would be difficult for him to persuade. He made a gesture of please and asked Su Zhuo to ask him a question.

Su Zhuo didn't hesitate, and asked directly: "Master, do you know that Qu Shengzhou is actually from the north? Why did he build Juyi Villa here? And Juyi Villa has become one of the great factions in the rivers and lakes in just a few years, how did he do it?"

Huaishan nodded, as if he knew that he was going to ask this question, and asked rhetorically: "Do you also believe that Lu Qingchen's death is related to Qu Shengzhou?"

Su Zhuo nodded and said, "At first, I suspected that this incident was done by someone Lu Qingchen was familiar with, which can explain why Lu Qingchen was beheaded in one move." But Zhou Qingping, the only motive, seems to be just a cowardly and timid person. A person like him can't kill Lu Qingchen. Therefore, I can only doubt Qu Shengzhou!"

Huaishan opened his mouth slowly, as if recalling the far-reaching past: "Juyi Villa was built ten years ago......"

Su Zhuo suddenly thought of something, and interjected: "Ten years ago?"

Huaishan nodded and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Zhuo hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, the master continues." ”

Huaishan said again: "As for why Qu Shengzhou chose here, I don't know. Originally, ten years was too short for the growth of a sect. No matter how long Qu Shengzhou is, it will be difficult to build Juyi Villa to such a point in just ten years. The biggest reason why Juyi Villa can have today is the support of Yueyang Hou. Wei Qian and Qu Shengzhou had a very early relationship, and it is said that Qu Shengzhou was once Wei Qian's subordinate, but there is no evidence to test. However, even if Yueyang Hou supports more, it will be difficult to create a miracle. The reason why Juyi Villa can have today is because of Qu Shengzhou's strategy!"

Su Zhuo didn't understand: "Strategy?"

Huaishan said: "Qu Shengzhou is not like ordinary sects, opening the door to accept disciples and slowly accumulating strength. From the very beginning, he was known for his righteousness and squandering money. He used a lot of money to recruit a large number of masters on the rivers and lakes to enter the village. Over time, these people have received great benefits from Qushengzhou, and naturally regard themselves as Juyi Villa. In this way, Juyi Villa has developed, and the momentum is unparalleled for a while. ”

Su Zhuo's heart was shocked beyond imagination, and he asked: "Ensnaring with heavy money, isn't this kind of behavior no different from trading? These people in the rivers and lakes really obediently obey orders?"

Huaishan said: "Of course, it won't be smooth sailing, among so many people, it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be uneven, and there will be more volatile." However, how Qushengzhou achieved its current scale is not something we can know. ”

Su Zhuo lowered his head and muttered: "But those people I saw during the day are not masters, aren't they ......?"

There are more and more clues, and things have gradually surfaced, but there is still one connection missing! Su Zhuo is still difficult to connect everything for the time being, if he can figure out the joints in it, perhaps, all the puzzles will be solved.

He suddenly took out the painting from his sleeve and asked as he unfolded it, "Master, you are a master of Danqing." Look at what is so strange about this painting!"
