Qingfeng Xu Xu

"Found it and sent the news to the people at Head Du's side. If everything goes well, there should be results tomorrow morning."

"What if it doesn't go well?"

"They are all ready. If they show up, the medicine will definitely make it impossible for her to say anything."

"Well done." Qi Kaiyuan finally got some good answers, and the dissatisfaction in his heart gradually calmed down."If you keep pointing at Du Shengyang, I'm afraid I won't be able to accomplish anything until I die."

"What is Mr. Xu doing? Is this closer?"

Without the waist card, Xu Mulin, who brought Xu Qingjiu's late-night snack, had no choice but to climb over the wall to enter. Unfortunately, Longyin Village was too big. Xu Mulin originally wanted to find a place close to the courtyard where he and Xu Qingjiu lived, but in the end, He was still looking in the wrong direction. As soon as he landed, he was bumped into by Xie Chi. Xu Mulin was really surprised. Why was Xie Chi so idle? How could he meet such a big man in Longyin Village?

"Yes, Master Xie’s Longyin Village is too big, so he wanted to take a shortcut"

"Did you bring a midnight snack? Are you two still used to Wuzhou’s cuisine?"

"Very good, Qingjiu likes it very much"

"That's good. Come here often when you have time. If you are willing, come and see Xie too."

"...What do you mean by thanking the owner?

Xie Chi chuckled,"Mr. Xu is overly worried. He just wants to be with you often." The food won't taste good when it's cold. Mr. Xu, please go back quickly. It's time for Xie to go back and rest. Tomorrow will be a heavy day."

After saying that, Xie Chi turned around and left first. In the dark night, he didn't even notice that the letter he had just hurriedly hidden in his sleeve fell softly to the ground. The red color was scattered - ginseng, deer antler, cinnamon, actinolite, datura.

Xu Qingjiu preferred swordsmanship and concealed weapons. Although he would go to Shennong Hall in Zhunjiang from time to time to attend some classes related to medicine and stone, but more often than not, he still found related anecdotes more interesting, so he never learned anything. Xu Mulin is very interested in Qihuang medicinal stones, but he has not been very proficient in learning them all the time. He does not know much about remote and unpopular things. At this moment, Xu Mulin looked at the paper Xie Chi left behind and wrote about it. From the prescription of"Red Powder", one can only understand that ginseng and deer antler are supposed to be tonic medicinal materials, while datura is often used to make intoxicating drugs. Xu Mulin has never known about these other things, let alone I don’t understand why health-replenishing medicines are put together with datura

"Is this a prescription?"Xu Mulin muttered to himself in confusion. He didn't notice that Xie Chi, who had left and returned, was approaching.

"This is my remedy for replenishing my health. I just got it."Xie Chi approached Xu Mulin, stretched out his hand and said

"Mr. Xie is feeling unwell?"Xu Mulin handed over the letter paper.

"I have been suffering from a hidden illness for many years, so I apologize that it is difficult for Xie to explain it."Xie Chi took the letter, carefully folded it and put it in his sleeve,"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Seeing Xie Chi slowly walking away, Xu Mulin suddenly asked for no reason:"Did Master Xie really not know the two people who assassinated you earlier?

Xie Chi walked away without any pause and replied nonchalantly:"Of course.""

"Then will you kill them?"Xu Mulin asked.

Xie Chi continued walking. When he heard Xu Mulin's question, he just looked ahead and smiled self-deprecatingly, and whispered:"Why? It’s just me that deserves to die."

Although Xie Chi replied, no matter what the answer was, Xu Mulin would not believe it. However, for some unknown reason, he still asked. When Xie Chi walked into the darkness and disappeared, Xu Mulin also Walk forward, and when you reach a corner, turn into the lit corridor and walk towards a brighter place.

"Senior brother, why did you buy so many? The people at the farm just brought some food."Xu Qingjiu was sitting on the corridor waiting for Xu Mulin to come back. When he saw Xu Mulin from a distance, he got up and walked quickly towards Xu Mulin. As he walked, he said,"How did senior brother come in?" I just forgot about losing my badge. I wanted to pick you up at the door, but I was afraid it would be too conspicuous, so I didn’t dare to go."

"It's okay, I climbed over the wall and came in."Xu Mulin said mysteriously in a low voice, as if everything was going smoothly.

"Not noticed?"

"No, it’s dark and I can’t see clearly"

"Is that so? Looking at Xu Mulin's appearance, it was hard for Xu Qingjiu not to question,"Senior brother is dressed in snow-white. Even in the middle of the night, if he suddenly appears on the wall, he will easily attract attention.""

Xu Mulin lowered his head and looked at himself, and suddenly realized that the movement technique he had just climbed over the wall should have no flaws. There was no sound when he landed. How could he be caught by Xie Chi? His whole body was indeed... It is indeed difficult not to notice an obvious target. Faced with Xu Qingjiu’s doubts, Xu Mulin had to explain in a far-fetched way,"Maybe they are all ready to rest, there is no one outside."

"Also, if senior brother doesn't come back, I will fall asleep."Xu Qingjiu was easily persuaded,"I paid close attention after senior brother left. There was nothing unusual in the village. Let's eat quickly and rest early after eating. I'm afraid it won't be easy tomorrow. We have to spend a lot of effort. Only spirit can do"

"good."

Looking at Xu Qingjiu, Xu Mulin suddenly remembered how Xie Chi looked just now, as if he was also very concerned about or looking forward to tomorrow. But after Xu Mulin thought about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with looking forward to his own banquet, so Xu Mulin had no choice but to help himself. I always have a lot of doubts about everything, and I can't help but feel that I have overthought it.

Due to the loss of the waist card, although Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu originally wanted to take advantage of the time before the banquet to go out to inquire, Xie Chi and Qi Kaiyuan's words were all. The traces seemed credible, but they couldn't be trusted. However, the two of them were worried that they would attract too much attention if they went out and came back. Xu Qingjiu suggested climbing over the wall like Xu Mulin did last night. They declined on the grounds that there were many people coming and going. As it happened, the two of them stayed in the village to be careful not to change the situation in advance.

The whole morning passed, and there was nothing unusual in the village. The two of them had eaten and were about to take a nap when there was a sudden noise outside.

As soon as the two opened the door, they were about to go out to investigate. Xu Mulin, who had stepped across the threshold first, only felt a red shadow flash before his eyes. Xu Qingjiu retreated into the door, and Xu Mulin quickly closed the door. Looking at the acquaintance in front of him, Xu Mulin She said in a cold voice, very angry:"Did Miss Su forget what Xu said before?"

"That’s right, Miss Su, don’t be like this every time you meet us."Xu Qingjiu also sighed helplessly.

Su Qingwu sheathed his sword and seemed to be helpless and said:"You two, what a coincidence, it's you every time."

Xu Mulin pulled Xu Qingjiu and walked to the table to drink some tea to relieve her sleepiness. After Xu Qingjiu sat down, he took three cups and poured tea, and asked without raising his head:"Miss Su, do you want tea? ? Where is Miss Qiu? Why are you the only one?"

Su Qingwu looked at the actions of the two people and felt very strange: they didn't seem to be convinced in yesterday's conversation. What do these two people mean now? They didn't make a sound to alert the people searching outside because they wanted to wait for Qiu Ji to arrive. Catch them all in one fell swoop? Su Qingwu couldn't figure it out for a moment, but decided that it would be safer to leave here first, and began to move slowly towards the door.

"Up and down Longyin Village, this is the only place you can hide."Xu Mulin took the tea poured by Xu Qingjiu and said in a deep voice:"Where is Miss Qiu? Got caught? Or did you run away?"

"...No, she entered through the front door, and I came in first to divert her attention."Su Qingwu stopped moving, but still stood closer to the door in case the two people in front of him suddenly changed their faces and he would not have time to react.

"Hearing the sound of people approaching, Miss Su should hide in the cabinet first. Could she be standing there waiting for them to catch her?"Xu Qingjiu saw that Su Qingwu didn't seem to want to drink tea, so he poured it for himself and Xu Mulin. He was drinking tea by himself at the moment. He didn't have time to take a nap today. He was really too sleepy now.

"What do you two mean by this?"Su Qingwu also heard the sound of the search outside getting closer and closer. He thought that maybe the two people in front of him could really help him, but he still couldn't help but be afraid. He thought that Qiu Ji should have successfully come in by now, and he would forget about it. It’s okay if you fall into trouble, but you don’t want to fall for it without knowing why.

"After we help you escape smoothly, what we say should be more credible to you."Xu Qingjiu drank several cups of tea in a row, thinking that he would have enough energy to deal with the visitors soon, but seeing that Su Qingwu was still so hesitant, he felt that it was very troublesome, and he really didn't want to be verbose, so he said bluntly :"Either you open the door and go out, or you hide in the closet."

After much hesitation, Su Qingwu entered the cabinet. Not long after Su Qingwu hid in the cabinet, someone knocked on Xu Mulin's door.

"Mr. Xu, I’m Xie Chi, is it convenient for me to come in?"

"Mr. Xie, is there something urgent about coming here at this hour?"Xu Mulin stood up and opened the door, and asked Xie Chi at the door:"Master Xie must be busy with something at the moment. He just asked his disciples to come over if he had something to do. Why did he come in person?"

"Is Mr. Xu resting? Didn't Mr. Xu hear the big commotion in the village just now?"Xie Chi asked back

"How could you not hear it? It’s just that Longyin Village should be very lively today, right? Xu Qingjiu also walked to the door and asked Xie Chi with a smile:"But since Mr. Xie is not busy, please come in for a cup of tea and have a rest. Otherwise, you will definitely be busy later, and I'm afraid you won't be there by then." time to rest"

"It turned out that the two of you were drinking tea and taking a rest if you were tired. The banquet would not start for some time."Xie Chi said this, but then he walked into the house,"The disciple who was guarding just now said that a stranger climbed over the wall and broke in. Now he is searching everywhere. Did Mr. Xu notice anything unusual? , or did you notice it but just regard it as the excitement of the banquet?"

"The excitement is all in the front hall, where does the excitement come from here?"Xu Mulin said with a smile.

Xie Chi looked around the room and glanced at the cabinet as if unintentionally,"Then I won't disturb you two and continue drinking tea. If you accidentally injure a guest, that would be bad. Say goodbye."With that said, Xie Chi bowed his hands and gave a slight salute before turning and walking out of the door. Xu Mulin was about to close the door when Xie Chi turned to Xu Mulin and said:"The banquet will not start for a few more hours. Mr. Xu can rest for a while. After Xie finished checking here, he had to go back to the study to rest for a while, so as not to have insufficient energy to entertain the guests."After saying that, Xie Chi left with his disciples.

Xu Mulin looked at Xie Chi's leaving figure, then turned to look at the cabinet where Su Qingwu was hiding. Xu Mulin felt inexplicably that Xie Chi's last words seemed to have meaning. Pointed to.

After Xie Chi left, Su Qingwu listened carefully to the movement outside for a while in the cabinet before coming out. As soon as he came out, he saw Xu Qingjiu dozing off on the table, while Xu Mulin was quietly drinking tea beside him.

"Can I say it now?"Su Qingwu asked while sitting at the table.

"No," Xu Qingjiu said, still lying on the table with her eyes closed,"I'm too sleepy."

"You should stay here until the banquet is over. Today is not a good time for you to act."Xu Mulin stood up and went to the side to get a cloak, put it on Xu Qingjiu, and whispered as if talking to himself.

"what do you mean? Are you two cooperating with Xie Chi's plan to plot against us?"

"no."Xu Qingjiu answered in a low voice, and then asked:"Didn't you take that waist card yourself?"

Hearing Xu Mulin's denial, Su Qingwu wanted to question it again, but Xu Qingjiu made him speechless.

"A person my senior brother and I know is Miss Qiu's family. It's because of him that we want to help you and don't want you to take risks. If not, no matter how important this matter is, we will not waste time. Instead of doing our more important things, we stay here to cover for you."Xu Qingjiu stood up straight, but still said with her eyes closed.

"Girl, isn’t revenge like this where everything is staked? Don’t you have nothing else worth worrying about?"Seeing that Su Qingwu didn't speak, Xu Qingjiu had no choice but to continue to persuade him.

"No"

"...What is the deep hatred between the girl and Xie Chi? Is it worth the girl being so desperate?"

On hearing Xu Qingjiu's questioning, Su Qingwu realized that he had let something slip. Although he didn't want to defend himself, he didn't want to explain anything to the two people in front of him. He just stood up and saluted them and said thank you. Then left.
