Leng Qingyun stood up, recognized Liu Xiaoqing, who was better than Shangguan Fei in appearance and martial arts, and greeted with a smile: "Sure enough, he is a beautiful swordsman, which makes women tempted and makes men feel comfortable. That is Master Shangguan? The murderous intent is so strong that it is to prevent the possibility that may not exist, and you want to kill me?"
Shangguan Fei's eyes were red: "I can't think so far in the future! I am here for the fifty-seven lives of the Shangguan family!"
Xiaoyue's whole body was shocked, and she instinctively swept towards the lake and stood in the water, forming a pincer attack with the two of them, cutting off Leng Qingyun's way back and forth.
Leng Qingyun was gloomy and said for a long time: "The Shangguan family has been exterminated? So, you guys came to tell me who the person with the crystal spirit was, and if I didn't say it, he would kill me."
Shangguan Fei's voice was like a sharp blade breaking a steel nail: "Yes!"
Liu Xiaoqing continued: "Lord Leng, we will kill you. Attack the Baojing Palace immediately, the news will be spread in the rivers and lakes, that person must be worried about what we will find after breaking through the Baojing Palace, and he will definitely come."
Xiaoyue was worried about her adoptive father's chaos, forced herself to calm down, and said slowly: "Lord Leng, the other party detained your relatives because of you. Once you die, imagine what will happen to your relatives?"
Leng Qingyun lowered his head for a moment, turned to the lake and said, "Do it." The tone was indescribably desolate.
Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, could it be that there was a mistake? The Shangguan Fei shouted sharply: "Draw your sword!"
"He can't draw his sword, he waits for the eldest young master Shangguan to help him get rid of it, saving him his own brainstorming and effort." A childish and ruffian voice sounded coldly, a round head poked out after hitting a big stone, and its flexible eyes were spinning, like a cute little animal in the forest.
Leng Qingyun couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"
"Don't you know this girl? Great!" She stroked her chest with her hand, as if relieved, "Actually, this girl didn't do anything. The most important thing you don't lack here is stones, let's take away a handful of white stones, red stones, and green stones. Also, we also want to learn to be ladies, the cold palace lord is generous, lend us this inconspicuous piece of wood."
When Leng Qingyun saw that she had lifted something above her head, she almost rushed over, but she held back reluctantly: As long as the little girl's hand loosens, his most beloved Yaoqin will definitely be dismembered! As for "white stones, red stones, green stones", there is nothing to say, it must be pearl agate jade and white jade.
Who else can be the master who is so good at money and takes it without telling him, except for the little fox of the Du family? It's just that her fame has not been in recent years: relying on the jade fox Du Meimei to offer a million-dollar reward to find her adopted daughter. It's a pity that Leng Qingyun lived in seclusion in the Baojing Palace and couldn't know about this anecdote that caused a sensation in the world.
Leng Qingyun was dumbfounded, and Du Dong'er continued to nag: "That's right. The cold palace master must not be impulsive, this girl is no less timid, she is a little frightened and missed, although the wood is worthless, it is also a violent destruction if it is broken......"
Leng Qingyun's face was full of shame and gradually turned into a wry smile: "The sword is given to the hero, and the Yaoqin is given to the girl. You deserve it, I don't need it anyway. Can I leave a name? Let me be an understanding ghost anyway."
Dong'er smiled and shook her head: "This girl said she was ready to be a lady. Can the lady's name be spread outside? Although this girl was born as a fairy, she has no intention of becoming a beauty in your palace, so she must abide by etiquette! For the sake of your current appearance being stronger than the zombie, this girl got your money to eliminate the disaster for you and save you from death. You amorous person don't even think about it, there are so many beauties hidden in the palace, maybe they are loyal to you in other things, is it possible in this matter? They all wish that the woman was dead! Hey, the big palace master, that poisonous beauty is Liu Xianqian, the oiran of Hangzhou West Lake, right?
Leng Qingyun's face changed, and Dong'er shrank towards Shihou: "Why are you nervous? Isn't it just a name? No one has found her for so many years, so you don't know where she is, right? Even if you want to be a hero and save beauty, you can't save it. Or think about it for yourself, there are rumors in the rivers and lakes about your relationship with her, and Baojing Palace will never be at peace. Let's go! Thank you for your generosity, there will be no future in the future."
With a "whoosh", the little fox disappeared, leaving three men and one woman frozen on the spot.
After a long time, Xiaoyue stared at Leng Qingyun: "Is it her?" In fact, this sentence was redundant, dragging Leng Qingyun to chat by the lake, the purpose was to let her little fox master go to the palace to attack. But she really couldn't believe that Leng Qingyun would have such a sweetheart - Liu Qianqian, the daughter of a criminal official, when she was ten years old, Liu's family was raided, men killed women and sold them, Liu Qianqian entered a brothel, and at the age of thirteen, she became the Mid-Autumn Festival oiran of the West Lake Flower Boat, and she was popular in Hangzhou. Within a month, all officials and witnesses related to the Liu family case were exterminated, and the murder methods were extremely cruel. After that, a mysterious killer combination Xueyi Men appeared in the rivers and lakes, and after killing people, a slender willow was left behind. Later, the Xueyi Gate mysteriously disappeared as when it appeared, and it has been thirteen years since then. The bloody and bloody rivers and lakes are unsettled, and the killer combination that has disappeared for thirteen years can still be firmly remembered, because the last bloody case of Xueyi Sect was the assassination of the leader of Wudang at a martial arts party: Liu Qianqian personally took action, took out the heart of the head of Wudang on the competition stage, and then disappeared in a burst of smoke.
In the dead silence, Liu Xiaoqing suddenly slapped haha: "I am ashamed that my surname is Liu now! Fortunately, it is a willow in Zhongzhou, not a willow in Hangzhou. Cold Palace Master, do you really like this kind of femme fatale woman? Not to that extent?"
"Poisonous sword with poisonous woman, what's impossible?!" Shangguan Fei shouted, "Xiaoyue, let's go!"
Although he didn't love her, he grew up together, and he was like a brother and sister emotionally.
Xiaoyue withdrew her gaze and lowered her head: "I would rather believe that the cold palace master was threatened by her." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Leng Qingyun shouted urgently: "Wait!"
Xiaoyue stopped but didn't look back, and only said: "What did the cold palace master order?"
Leng Qingyun looked worried: "Not only is she strong in martial arts, she ...... She is good at using drugs and tricks, she looks kind and harmless, much younger than her actual age, and ...... If the girl doesn't offend her, she won't do it."
Shangguan Fei's eyes flashed the poisoned servant who fell to the ground, with a cute lion dog with a bell hanging around his neck, and said coldly: "We have all learned it!"
Xiaoyue said slowly: "Thank you, Lord Leng." Step forward again.
Leng Qingyun hesitated for a moment and caught up with him: "Are you leaving?"
Xiaoyue turned her head and nodded deeply, with indescribable sadness in her eyes, then turned around and walked down the mountain.
Leng Qingyun stared at her back, wanting to scream but holding back. Shangguan Fei was so angry that he almost exploded, glanced at Leng Qingyun angrily, and chased after Xiaoyue.
However, Liu Xiaoqing had some pity, maybe there was no reason for blood feud, he felt similar to Xiaoyue, and felt that Leng Qingyun should have been pinched by that poisonous woman. But he doesn't think that Leng Qingyun's relatives have become hostages, and guesses that it is inseparable from the incident between himself and Qiong Gu, the deputy leader of the Five Poisons Gang, and belongs to the Red Powder Tribulation (see "Fox Gate Series: Crazy Flowers" for details).
He sighed and threw down a sentence before leaving: "Miss He is a good woman."
When Liu Xiaoqing caught up, Shangguan Fei and He Xiaoyue had already stopped at the foot of the mountain. Xiaoyue asked with a pale face: "Is there any body of my father?"
Shangguan Fei didn't dare to look into her eyes: "No, no."
Liu Xiaoqing gritted her teeth and said aloud: "Tell her, lest she have worries." Both hands stretched out to support Xiaoyue.
Liu Xiaoqing's move was very inappropriate, but Shangguan Fei turned a blind eye and said with difficulty: "When we arrived, the manor house had been reduced to ruins in the fire. There were forty-nine corpses in front of the fort, including my pregnant fifth aunt, Wu's grandson who was less than a year old, and one ...... Human skin, yes, yes, ......"
Xiaoyue spat out a mouthful of blood.
**********
In Qingyuan Waterside Town, in a large vegetable garden and fish farm by the river, a couple packed up and followed each other home. Like many middle-aged couples at this age, they didn't say much, and only the husband opened his mouth for half a mile: "Send some vegetables to the Taoist priest tomorrow." The woman nodded silently - she couldn't make a sound, she was mute.
The couple has been in Waterside Town for almost sixteen years, and no one knows where they came from, but it is not eye-catching, because most of the people in Waterside Town are such people who do not know their origins. Lingnan has been a refuge for the people of the Central Plains since ancient times, and there have been endless bloody battles between Song Liao and Jin in recent years, and a few years ago, Song Jiang Fang La rebelled, and northerners fled the war to avoid military service, and even countless tax evasion and lawsuits, and they could not stop migrating south. Except for those who have something to do with the whole family moving in, most of them find a remote place similar to a waterside town to live in, anyway, as long as they can afford the land tax, no one asks. The townspeople only know that the man in this family is called Chen Gensheng, his wife is mute, he has a sick son, and a child bride who was bought from nowhere.
The Chen family's house is quite decent, not a pole and railing grass and wood structure, it is a big house with green bricks and green tiles, and the courtyard wall is made of whole and whole stones, which looks like a big family at first glance. However, there are quite a lot of houses like this in Shuibian Town, because floods often occur here, and the earthen houses cannot be kept. The land is not good, and people who have some way to live for a while will move elsewhere, and the empty house will naturally be sold. The Chen couple bought a cheap house back then.
It will rain heavily tonight, and the waterside town will be flooded again for a few more days of such rain. Under the dim soybean oil lamp of the old house, Mr. and Mrs. Chen were having dinner with their heads down, when suddenly their eyes flashed and they hurriedly welcomed them into the courtyard: "The third young master is here!"
This third young master is clearly the number one killer in the rivers and lakes, Chen An. He was no longer expressionless and asked anxiously: "Is the fifth brother inappropriate?"
"The fifth young master is very good, he has taken the medicine and fell asleep." A beautiful woman in her twenties appeared on the side of the porch with a smile.
Chen An was stunned, his relationship with the Chen family in Waterside Town was extremely secret, if it weren't for the fifth brother, how could he send a letter asking him to come?
"Please talk in the third young master's house." The mute made an unpleasant hissing sound – it turned out to be a man, no wonder he had to pretend to be mute.
After saying that, he led the way to the depths of the courtyard. Chen Gensheng looked around vigilantly, extinguished the soybean oil lamp, and lit another lamp. This lamp is not an ordinary lamp, it is a strange lamp specially rewarded by Zigu.
