Cannon fodder apprentice reborn

The city lord came forward in person, and Tang Xun didn't talk nonsense. He usually had a bad temper, got angry from time to time, and didn't speak well, but now he just had a cold face, his tone didn't seem angry, and he didn't even defend himself. Calmly, he only said: "Then what does Manager Ye want? Tried in three sessions first? Or arrest me directly and beat me up?"

Ye Qiao looked innocent, "Shopkeeper Tang's words really hurt me, the city lord is here, if you are innocent, the city lord will clear your innocence, but if the person who hurt Mei Hanyue is really you, shopkeeper Tang, look at you My old love, you just apologize to my subordinates." He smiled coldly, "After all, how many people in Shifang City can compare with Shopkeeper Tang?"

Tang Xun knew in his heart that this was a provocative method. Don't look at Ye Qiao, who looks kind on the outside, but actually hides a needle in his mouth. If it was in the past, he would have retorted and choked him, but now... Tang Xun smiled coldly, stood by the door with his arms folded, and looked at Gang The man who got off the carriage.

No matter when and where, this white-clothed and white-haired Song City Lord is extremely dazzling, even in such an ordinary and narrow green alley, he can't lose half of his coldness and dignity.

Tang Xun looked at him with complicated but calm eyes, not at all surprised, as if he had seen it thousands of times and was used to it.

Seeing that Tang Xun was unmoved, Ye Qiao curled the corners of his mouth, and in a blink of an eye, seeing City Lord Song and others had come, he cupped his hands and saluted, "City Lord."

City Lord Song walked up the steps and arrived in front of the gate of the Tang family. His glazed eyes under the snow-white eyelashes looked at Tang Xun. Seeing the other party's expressionless appearance, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he just said, "The day before yesterday, the Liutong Spring Pavilion This seat already knew about the serious injury of a steward who was mixed into the cabinet by a man in black, and Steward Ye wanted to give justice to his subordinates, so this seat came here."

The icy frost soaked in the air, Tang Li, who had only half a step to build the foundation, had already been forced by this powerful momentum, hid behind Tang Lu, bowed and saluted tremblingly, not daring to move.

In contrast, Tang Xun didn't even bend his back, which was really rude, but he didn't even intend to greet him at all.

City Lord Song watched quietly and didn't say much.

Ye Qiao got up and spoke first, "The city lord came here specially for Shopkeeper Tang's affairs, so shopkeeper Tang didn't invite us in for a sit-down? No matter what, the city lord used to be shopkeeper Tang's senior brother, right?"

"Didn't you invite him? Why did he come here for my business?" Tang Xun sneered, then looked at Song Yantai with an indifferent tone, "What are you going in for, anyway, you are going to condemn me and arrest me soon Get up and waste your time."

City Lord Song frowned slightly.

Ye Qiao reprimanded: "Treasurer Tang is careful! Your words are too distrustful of the City Lord's Mansion. Could it be that in your eyes, the City Lord is such a person who indiscriminately convicts you indiscriminately?"

Tang Xun really thought about it, nodded, put his hands behind his back and faced City Lord Song, and changed his words: "Okay, since Guanshi Ye has invited people here, I must have confirmed that the man in black is me. You come today. Didn't you just come to catch me?"

Mr. Song watched him grow up and has always been close to him. Seeing that there seemed to be some rejection and misunderstanding in his words, he hurriedly said: "Xiao Tang! The city master didn't mean that. After all, you are senior brothers and your own family. We I believe you are innocent, but Manager Ye also insisted that his subordinates be fair, the City Lord's Mansion has always been fair, as long as you can prove your innocence, everything will be fine."

City Lord Song nodded slightly to show his approval.

Ye Qiao also changed his words, "If shopkeeper Tang can prove that this matter has nothing to do with you, then I, Ye Qiao, will definitely apologize to you in person, but if shopkeeper Tang can't tell you, then don't blame me for doubting you, you are the one who hurt my subordinates. villain."

Tang Xun could ignore other people, he still gave Song Lao face, he hesitated to speak, and finally turned his head to avoid Song Lao, his eyes turned to Ye Qiao, "You want me to prove my innocence, do you have to first Show evidence that I am the man in black?"

Ye Qiao pointed to the ground, "Master Tang is sure, shall we talk here?"

Tang Xun smiled, "I'm not afraid of shame, but Manager Ye is afraid of things?"

But Ye Qiao didn’t come here by himself today, he couldn’t be the master, he turned his head to look at City Lord Song, saw the latter staring at Tang Xun for a while, and finally nodded, he said: “Okay, let’s say it here, in broad daylight Excuse me, shopkeeper Tang can't doubt that our City Lord's Mansion will be tortured into a trick, right? Since shopkeeper Tang wants to listen to it again, I will accompany you."

"There are five reasons why I suspect Shopkeeper Tang." Ye Qiao raised a finger, "First, I am at odds with Shopkeeper Tang. Everyone in the inner city knows that Shopkeeper Tang doesn't like me. , and Mei Hanyue has been my most trusted subordinate in the past two years. Second, people who hurt Mei Hanyue can freely enter and leave the Liutong Spring Pavilion. You can still go in and out of the pavilion. Thirdly, the night Mei Hanyue was injured, shopkeeper Tang’s robe was also stained with blood, but he was unwilling to tell you where you were, and the man in black’s cultivation level had seen several of his followers A friend said that your cultivation base is at least above the Nascent Soul Stage, and shopkeeper Tang, you happen to be at the Transformation Stage.”

When he said this, Tang Xun's eyes suddenly sank, and he did not speak.

City Lord Song glanced at him, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he took the initiative to answer, "Then there are two doubts?"

Ye Qiao nodded, "Fourth, Mei Hanyue was seriously injured and unconscious, and she had a blood-stained ancient copper coin on her body. It just so happened that the ancient copper coin was made of meteoric iron from outer space. The material is extremely rare. It was once recorded in Liutong Spring Pavilion , half of it was sold by shopkeeper Tang, and half was kept by shopkeeper Tang for his own use. Many people saw shopkeeper Tang wearing the bracelet made of six ancient copper coins. And the ancient copper coin in Mei Hanyue's hand is now It should be in the hands of Xiaoyou Ruan of Xuanjizong, everyone saw it yesterday. Finally, on the day of Mei Hanyue's accident, the servant of shopkeeper Tang came to the pavilion."

Tang Li, who was mentioned, looked up in horror, not knowing why Ye Qiao suddenly mentioned this matter.

Tang Xun turned his head to look at him, and said with a cold face: "And then?"

"That day, your little boy was selling a processed Thousand Illusion Grass in the pavilion, but because the people under my hand mistook him and mistakenly thought he was a liar, so he was a little rude and contemptuous to this little brother. After I found out that day, I dealt with that subordinate, and after that, I also ordered Mei Hanyue to take care of this little brother. At that time, several young Taoist friends of Xuanjizong were also present, so I can testify to this. That day I also thought that That's all, but then something happened to Mei Hanyue, and I saw this little brother again, so I knew it was not easy." Ye Qiao looked at Tang Li who was stiff all over, and asked with a smile, "If you dare to ask shopkeeper Tang, do you know that Did your servant ever go to the Spring Pavilion of Liutong? As a servant, how could he have the priceless Thousand Illusion Grass in his hands, and he handled it just right to attract Xiaoyou Ruan’s attention? In the end he left the Spring Pavilion of Liutong After that, where did you go?"

"I……"

Tang Li was stunned by Ye Qiao's question. He, a boy who has not yet established a foundation, can easily be suppressed by the opponent's aura in front of these people.

Tang Li's face turned cold, and he moved to stand in front of Tang Li, and said coldly: "He has been with me all the time, I gave him the Thousand Illusion Grass, and he can sell it to whoever he likes. The cabinet charged the highest price, isn’t it normal to sell it to you?”

Ye Qiao said: "Sounds really reasonable. But Shopkeeper Tang, don't you think this coincidence is too much? On that day, your servant went to sell Thousand Illusion Grass in Liutong Spring Pavilion, which is in charge of your deadly enemy." , cleverly attracted the attention of so many people through disputes, and then something happened to Mei Hanyueye who received him, and where did you go that night? It was because the boy was bullied by people from my Liutong Spring Pavilion, and shopkeeper Tang was angry. However, secretly going back to the pavilion at night to do something, but was accidentally bumped into by Mei Hanyue who was returning to the pavilion to look for the lost things, murdered and silenced?"

Only then did Tang Li come back to his senses, and said anxiously, "No! The shopkeeper didn't kill anyone!"

Tang Xun waved his sleeves and pushed him back into the door, staring at Ye Qiao coldly, "I let you finish all the good and bad words, and you even found me an excuse to kill Mei Hanyue, the deduction is very careful."

Ye Qiao happily accepted his appreciation, "Then Shopkeeper Tang admits that you did this? Shopkeeper Tang, I've already wanted to say, why bother to involve innocent people in the grievances between you and me?"

Tang Xun smiled, "It seems that you have decided that the man in black is me."

Ye Qiao said, "Then shopkeeper Tang, what would you like to say in defense of yourself?"

Everyone was silent, including City Lord Song, they were all waiting for Tang Xun's answer.But Tang Xun still didn't defend himself. The corners of his lips curled into a sneer, he closed his eyes, and glanced back at Tang Li, his tone indifferent, "Since you all think so, let's take it as such. The matter has nothing to do with Tang Li, and I have nothing to say about the rest."

"Big treasurer!"

Tang Li was so anxious that his eyes were red. It was clear that they did not do those things. Why didn't the shopkeeper explain?Why not let him speak?

Seeing that Tang Xun confessed to the crime, the expressions of the other people were different, and they were also very surprised, except for Ye Qiao who had a face of conviction.

"You finally pleaded guilty."

City Lord Song said to Tang Xun suddenly: "Junior brother, don't be willful."

Tang Xun blinked slowly, as if he had never heard of it, he rolled Ye Qiao's eyes, his eyes sarcastic, "So what if I plead guilty, so what if I don't? No matter how big Shifang City is, it is also the Shifang City of the Song family. I am alone. The one surnamed Tang has nothing to do with your Song family, so what you say is what it is."

City Lord Song's expression changed slightly, as if displeased.

Seeing this, Elder Song hurriedly said: "Xiao Tang, the city lord will make the decision for you. You should honestly explain where you went that night first, and stop talking angry!"

Ye Qiao was also a little stunned. He looked at Tang Xun, but saw that the latter looked calm, as if he had lost his mind because of being irritated. He asked again: "Shopkeeper Tang really didn't justify himself? If that's the case , then do I think you are the man in black who seriously injured Mei Hanyue? At this moment, Mei Hanyue is still lying opposite. As far as I know, the relationship between your neighbors is not good. Shopkeeper Tang admits so easily, could it be that he has already treated Mei Hanyue badly? Hi? If you admit it, then we have no choice but to imprison you first. Of course, I also know that shopkeeper Tang may be speaking out of anger..."

Ye Qiao looked at City Lord Song, as if he was jealous of him, and had no choice but to lower his head humbly, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Tang, I won't do anything to you until Mei Hanyue wakes up to testify against you..."

"Wait a minute!"

Before Ye Qiao could finish speaking, a clear and youthful voice came from the alley.

Everyone looked around and saw a black horse-drawn carriage slowly approaching, and Ruan Qiu, who was dressed in green clothes, was standing in front of the carriage.

Seeing people from the City Lord's Mansion gathered in front of the gate of the Tang family, Ruan Qiu jumped out of the carriage without even thinking, and ran quickly, shouting as he walked, "Wait a minute! I have witnesses to testify that Manager Tang is not the man in black!"

It's a pity that before he got close to the gate of the Tang family, he asked the guards of the City Lord's Mansion to stop him.

Ruan Qiu had no choice but to raise his voice towards City Lord Song from a distance of three zhang: "City Master Song! Manager Tang is innocent. He went to the Song family school that night, and there are doctors and students from the Song family to testify for him!"

"Song Family?"

Elder Song murmured, as if realizing something, he suddenly looked at City Lord Song.

As soon as City Lord Song raised his hand, all the guards who stopped Ruan Qiu backed away. He stared at Ruan Qiu, his eyes as cold as ever.

"What about your evidence?"

Ruan Qiu turned his head to look at the carriage that he came over in the evening. Song Xinting and Axi were getting off the carriage. The driver of the carriage was a secret guard of Yinlongwei. After that, another secret guard and Song Xinting put the carriage on a The man in Tsing Yi helped him down.

Seeing the person falling to the ground, Ruan Qiu hurriedly stepped forward to help Dr. Song, and Tang Xun recognized him at the first sight when he saw Doctor Song. Seeing that his footsteps were flimsy and his face was pale, Tang Xun quickly walked down the steps and went straight over City Lord Song and others came before them.

"Song Xue? Why are you injured?"

Ruan Qiu unobtrusively glanced at the people in front of the door, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, "Last night, we listened to Tang Li's advice to find Doctor Song and his younger brother, but we didn't expect to run into the right time for the man in black to kill Doctor Song. The man in black last night was not as cultivated as the man the night before, and he wasn't the one who suffered severe typhoid fever the night before, but they should be accomplices. Fortunately, Dr. Song delayed us until we came by threatening to explode his golden core. This time, I would like to thank the two A big brother of the dark guard."

Song Xue didn't blame Tang Xun. He knew who those people were when he saw the Song family's bicycle frame in front of the Tang family's gate. Tang Xun, we are not late, are we?"

Tang Xun grasped his wrist to feel his pulse, and then supported him with a sinking face, "I didn't want to implicate others, but I didn't expect it to be..." He paused, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head to look at the people in front of the door , "I will let them pay you the golden pill."

He didn't hide his words from others, everyone heard it, including City Lord Song.

Song Yantai walked down the steps slowly, looked at Song Xue, and had some impressions, "You are a doctor in the Song Family School, named Song Xue?"

Song Xue was startled for a moment, then struggled and bowed, "My lord."

Tang Xun quickly helped him up, cast a sideways glance at City Lord Song with a cold face, and then stared at Song Xue closely, eyes full of shame.

"I'm sorry, but I still troubled you."

Several other people also came to salute.

Ruan Qiu explained: "City Master Song, Doctor Song can prove that shopkeeper Tang didn't have the opportunity to go to Liutong Spring Pavilion to commit murder that night, and from the man in black attacking Doctor Song last night, it can be seen that someone wanted to kill Mei Hanyue but failed. This incriminating evidence fell on Shopkeeper Tang, and there is no proof, which undoubtedly proves that Shopkeeper Tang is innocent."

Song Xue said angrily, "That's right... Lord City Master, I and the children in the ethnology school can attest that when the accident happened in Liutong Chunge last night, Shopkeeper Tang was in the ethnology school, and the whole night after that... They stayed at my place with his servant Tang Li, and didn't leave until dawn. Shopkeeper Tang is definitely not the villain who hurt people that night, and I hope City Lord Song will find out."

Ye Qiao also followed, but his tone was aggressive, "Doctor Song Xue? It's you. I heard that you have known shopkeeper Tang since childhood and are good friends with him. Does Doctor Song know that if you lie in front of the city lord, if you are found out, the consequences will be serious." What will happen?"

Tang Xun has always been unwilling to tolerate anyone, and it is the same at this moment. Ye Qiao preemptively strikes, and he will also strike later, "As far as I know, you seem to have accounted for most of the five doubts that Manager Ye just testified against me. You can freely enter and leave the Spring Pavilion of Liutong. You said that you went out of the outer city that night, but is there anyone else to testify besides your own? Are you really not in the inner city that night? As far as I know, you have been in the outer city for ten years. It was already the Nascent Soul stage, ten years have passed, and your cultivation base is also rising, and in the end, you and I are at odds, and I want to kill you, and you also don't want to make me feel better."

These doubts were brought up by Ye Qiao himself. This time when he was kicked on himself, Ye Qiao lost his smile for a moment, "Master Tang suspected that I was a thief calling for a thief? Then how does shopkeeper Tang explain the bronze coin? How could your things be in my possession?" hand?"

Tang Xun laughed sarcastically, "You can only use this to testify against me. When I left the city lord's mansion eight years ago, I didn't take anything with me. What are those copper coins worthy of my nostalgia? You don't know , some people always know."

City Lord Song lowered his eyes and remained silent. Elder Song seemed to want to speak, but shook his head again.

In fact, Tang Xun was somewhat disappointed in his heart. He didn't say any more, and turned his face to support Song Xue and walked towards the gate of Tang's house, "You are seriously injured, go in first, and I will help you take a look."

The biggest reliance of the Song family was City Lord Song, so he didn't say a word, and Song Xue didn't leave much, but he was taken away as soon as Tang Xun moved. Seeing that City Lord Song didn't seem to want to stop him, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Ruan Qiu didn't stop Tang Xun either. Although Tang Xun avoided the guards of the Song family school, he still came forward to save Tang Li's younger brother. As long as he showed up, there would be evidence to prove his innocence. As long as City Lord Song is willing to send someone to Check, he is innocent.

Ye Qiao was obviously unwilling to let Tang Xun go like this, and he said again: "City Master, even if the man in black who seriously injured Mei Hanyue that night was not Shopkeeper Tang, but that ancient copper coin flowed out from Shopkeeper Tang, he must know Who is behind the scenes!"

Ruan Qiu came back just now, and he didn't know what City Lord Song had said to Tang Xun after he came, but he agreed with Ye Qiao's words alone.

"City Master Song, I'm also planning to find Shopkeeper Tang for clues about the whereabouts of the ancient copper coins. But..." He looked puzzled and looked at Ye Qiao, "Since Shopkeeper Tang also suspects that there is something wrong with Director Ye, this matter has I’m afraid it’s inconvenient to intervene again.”

Ye Qiao smiled ugly, "Even Fellow Daoist Ruan suspects that the villain is me?"

Ruan Qiu only knew that among so many people in front of the gate of the Tang family, only Tang Xun should be innocent. The water in the city lord's mansion was too deep and muddy, so he dared not step on it elsewhere.He thought about it: "Of course I don't mean that, but let Manager Ye, who is also suspicious, intervene in this matter, shopkeeper Tang will inevitably feel that the City Lord's Mansion is unfair, so... Don't worry, Manager Ye, I will definitely find Sister Yue who has severe typhoid fever people."

Ye Qiao couldn't laugh any more, and said coldly: "Ruan Xiaoyou has talked about this, it would be too ignorant for me to intervene in this matter. Forget it, City Lord, let this matter be left to Ruan Xiaoyou."

City Lord Song looked at Ruan Qiu with glazed eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. Hearing this, Zhuang Jiu hurriedly approached and whispered to him: "City Lord, Ruan Xiaoyou still has to help you with the young master's matter..."

Before Zhuang Jiu could finish speaking, City Lord Song said, "Then I will leave this matter to you." A jasper token appeared in his hand, and it floated into Ruan Qiu's hand, "This ten-party order is temporarily handed over to you." Here, I can provide you with convenience when investigating this matter in the city, and can also mobilize the hidden dragon guards in the city if necessary."

Ruan Qiu was overjoyed, carefully took the order of Shifang, and said earnestly, "Thank you, City Lord Song for your trust, and please rest assured."

City Lord Song nodded lightly, and looked back at the gate of the Tang family. The gate had already been closed by Tang Li after he took Song Xue back to heal his wounds. Although it was not closed tightly, the intention to resist outsiders' entry was obvious.He watched in silence for a while, and didn't stay here any longer, turned around and got into the Song family's carriage.

Elder Song seemed to want to say something, but finally shook his head and sighed, unable to tell whether it was disappointment or regret, Tong Zhuang Jiu followed him into the carriage.

The frame of the city lord's mansion left slowly, leaving only Ye Qiao and his servants in the city lord's mansion.Ruan Qiu watched City Lord Song and others go away, then looked back at Ye Qiao silently. He was holding a jasper token in his hand, his eyes seemed to be filled with autumn water, he was dressed in a dignified and elegant green dress, and he had a beautiful and delicate face. Two points of innocence and weakness.

At this time, Tang Li, who had already been in a hurry, also brought his unconscious younger brother out of the carriage with the help of the two hidden guards, and brought Song Xue's two drug boys into the car together with him. After leaving the Tang Mansion, Ah Xi also mixed in.

Ye Qiao suppressed the chill in his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Xiaoyou Ruan, do you know what kind of person you are helping today?"

Ruan Qiu was stunned, "What does Guanshi Ye mean?"

Ye Qiao smiled, full of sarcasm, "Tang Xun was the only younger brother of the city lord, a child adopted by the city lord's father. He grew up with the city lord. He used to be the chief steward of the Spring Pavilion of Liutong, known as the second son of Shifang City. The city lord looks so beautiful on the surface, but in fact, he is a knife cultivated by the old city lord for the city lord. This knife was once pointed at everyone who stood in front of the city lord. When the city lord became the new city lord that year, Tang Xun used his The sword in his hand slaughtered more than half of the inner city before driving the rest of the Song family out of the city lord's mansion. Moonlight Flower Forest is the name of his sword. It sounds so beautiful, but the flower forest under the sword is watered with human blood of."

"He is an executioner, and his bones are cold-blooded." Ye Qiao said: "And eight years ago, he pointed this knife at the city lord. Ruan Daoyou guessed what he did this time to make their brothers break up, and he also Clean up and leave the city lord's mansion?"

Hearing this, Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting looked at each other with astonishment.

Ruan Qiu shook his head, "I can't guess."

Ye Qiao smiled strangely, "Tang Xun killed a person, that person was the maid beside the city lord's mother, and also an aunt who had taken care of Tang Xun and the city lord for many years, a cruel and ruthless person like him even treated him like a parent and his elders They can kill as soon as they say it. In a rage, the city lord wounded him and removed him from his position as chief manager of Liutong Spring Pavilion. Unexpectedly, Tang Xun did not change his will, and still lied that the aunt committed suicide , It's ridiculous, the city lord and so many people saw it with his own eyes, and he still wants to lie? He was also afraid that the city lord would kill him, so he retreated to advance, and exchanged his friendship with the city lord for so many years. live."

Ye Qiao asked Ruan Qiu with a smile, "Your Ruan knows about this, but do you still trust Tang Xun?"

Ruan Qiu frowned, his eyes were uncertain, but he felt inexplicable.

"I have never inquired about what Shopkeeper Tang has done before, but since I met him, Shopkeeper Tang has helped me. Although he is not forgiving, he has never hurt me. Besides, Tang The shopkeeper is innocent, I don't understand why Manager Ye told me this?"

"I just don't want Ruan Xiaoyou to be fooled by Tang Xun. He has indeed changed a lot now, but he is a bloody man who has killed people for so many years. Would you believe him if he said he changed his gender and stopped?" Ye Qiao looked at him. Said: "You helped such a murderer. Ruan Xiaoyou, after you know what he is, don't you have any regrets?"

At this moment, Ruan Qiu finally believed that Ye Qiao and Tang Xun were deadly enemies, not only that Tang Xun unilaterally looked down on Ye Qiao, he laughed and said: "I am not helping shopkeeper Tang, I just want to find out the truth. In fact, shopkeeper Tang is indeed Not the man in black, whoever he was, has nothing to do with me."

"you……"

Ye Qiao's face turned blue, as if a lump was stuck in his throat, he just said so much, Ruan Qiu didn't move at all, isn't Ruan Qiu afraid of death?

Ruan Qiu wanted to ask Ye Qiao if there was anything else, but saw that Ye Qiao's old smile was gone, and he was very gloomy. He glanced at him coldly and then walked away, even his servant couldn't keep up.

That look made Ruan Qiu's heart tremble, he had never noticed before that this Manager Ye would have such a vicious side.

"He is..."

Ruan Qiu looked back at Song Xinting.

Song Xinting frowned, he was still thinking about Tang Xun's past that Ye Qiao said, "Forget it, this Ye Qiao is not simple. But if you want to find out who is behind the scenes, let's go in."

Ruan Qiu nodded, taking advantage of Ah Xi's sneaking in and the door of Tang's house not being closed, he hurried in with Song Xinting.

Ah Xi had already walked around Tang's house and came out again. Seeing that they were also coming, she hurriedly led them to find Tang Li and the two hidden guards.

Seeing Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting coming, Tang Li understood what they meant. He was arranging everyone and wanted to take Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting to see Tang Li. Ugly, and the tone is a bit awkward.

"Ruan Qiu, come here."

Ruan Qiu froze for a moment, pointed at himself, then looked at Song Xinting and Axi.

"It's you, come here!" Tang Xun glanced at him quietly, and ran out of the yard as if to escape, regardless of whether Ruan Qiu agreed or not.

Song Xinting still couldn't change his view of Tang Xun, and his brows were all frowned.

Ruan Qiu couldn't stop laughing at it, and said nonchalantly, "Forget it, I'll go out and have a look. It just so happens that we also have something to ask him."

"Okay." Song Xinting said worriedly: "You must be careful."

Ruan Qiu waved at him, turned around and went out, and when he found Tang Xun, he was outside the courtyard gate.Seeing him, Tang Xun nodded and walked outside, turned around and saw Ruan Qiu following, he said: "Song Xue is one of the few friends I have had over the years, you saved his life last night. I owe you a favor, tell me, how do you want me to repay you?"

"Then can I ask who this ancient copper coin fell into nine years ago?" Ruan Qiu was prepared, and immediately took out the blood-stained ancient copper coin, looking at Tang Xun eagerly, "You used to be six You are the chief steward of Contract Spring Pavilion, and you sold this ancient copper coin from Liu Contract Spring Pavilion, shopkeeper Tang, you must know who that person is."

Tang Xun was not surprised that he would make this request, but he was a little confused, "Are you sure you only want to know about this? Do you know that my favor can help you or Xuanjizong a lot, just for that Is it worth you to waste such a rare favor for a little girl who has only known each other for a few days, and exchange for news that will bring you disaster?"

"You can't say that." Ruan Qiu disagreed with this sentence, and he said seriously: "Although we have only known Sister Hanyue for a few days, she has helped us, and her sister and brother-in-law are my benefactors when I was young, no matter what. , I can’t let the person who seriously injured her get away with it. I will wake her up and avenge her. Shopkeeper Tang, I don’t think it’s a waste. Don’t tell me that when you made this promise to me for Dr. Song, would you feel that Isn't it worth it? But it sounds like a very dangerous truth."

"Yes. Ruan Qiu, I'm not lying to you. I know that you are treating Song Yantai's younger brother. You just do what you should do. The water depth in Shifang City is not your business." Tang Xun slightly After a pause, he turned his head and said to Ruan Qiu: "You should have listened to Ye Qiao's words just now. I used to kill people like hemp, and I am definitely not a good person. Are you sure you want to believe what I say?"

Thinking of what Ye Qiao said after everyone left, Ruan Qiu coughed lightly.

"Did you hear?"

Tang Xun turned his back to Ruan Qiu, looking calm, not like his usual temper, but he was so calm, he said: "Since I know that someone is targeting me, this is my territory, so I naturally have to be more thoughtful. Ruan Qiu, you..."

His tone was a little hesitant, as if he still didn't dare to look back at Ruan Qiu, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you if you still dare to come to me? Do you think Ye Qiao is lying to you? Or do you want to believe it?" Is it because I was forced to kill?"

Ruan Qiu hadn't thought about this question yet, and he didn't panic at all at the moment. He raised his hand to support the green hairpin in his hair, and smiled lightly. If Tang Xun wanted to do something, his master should have shown up long ago.

"If I dare to come, I'm not afraid of you doing it. Shopkeeper Tang, I believed you yesterday, and I finally proved that you are innocent this time. I'm not a fool, and I won't listen to Guanshi Ye's one-sided words. If you really think that you were wronged back then, As long as you tell me, I'm willing to believe it, and I hope you don't lie to me."

The past of Tang Xun mentioned by Ye Qiao sounds a little scary, but it is full of loopholes. Ruan Qiu is not stupid. If Song Yantai really hated Tang Xun, he would not have changed the formation of the Six Contract Spring Pavilion for many years, and Song Lao also He will not be polite to Tang Xun.

Tang Xun suddenly froze, his ears calmed down instantly, but he couldn't hear any foreign voices, "You, really believe me?"

But before Ruan Qiu could reply, Tang Xun's eyes were a bit complicated.

The promise he made to senior brother Song Yantai when he was young echoed in his heart again.

He said that the young city lord told him to take care of Song Yantai, and the old city lord trained him to be Song Yantai's confidant, so he would never leave Song Yantai, he would help Song Yantai.

When he was young at that time, the Moonshine Flower Forest in his hand was not yet bloodied. Such a promise is ridiculous in retrospect many years later.

Until eight years ago, Tang Xun was no longer willing to fulfill this naive promise.

He asked Song Yantai, you don't believe me?

At that time, Song Yantai's answer wounded him, almost killing him.

It turns out that the relationship between teachers and brothers for so many years can be shattered with just one move.

When Tang Xun left the City Lord's Mansion, Song Yantai only said those four words.

Song Yantai said, don't be willful.

It's a pity that Tang Xun was not being willful. He said he was going to leave, but he really left. He didn't take the natal spirit sword Yuezhao Hualin crushed by Song Yantai, and all the things that the City Lord's Mansion gave him over the years, leaving him behind. His senior brother guards Shifang City alone.

"I will not go back to the City Lord's Mansion again."

That was what he said when Elder Song advised him not to be willful when he was leaving.

He really hated the words 'don't be willful' at that time, but no one believed him.

For eight full years, Tang Xun really never set foot in the City Lord's Mansion, not even half a step.

A blush suddenly appeared in Tang Xun's eyes, he blinked quickly, and took a deep breath to suppress the sourness.He never thought that the trust that the senior brothers who grew up with him did not give him, but he got it from Ruan Qiu, who just met him not long ago. Although it was many years late, but...

"Little idiot..."

Tang Xun murmured, and the corners of his lips curled into a smile again. With a bit of arrogance, he raised his eyes to look outside the courtyard wall, and his voice became a bit hoarse, "Someone told you that I would Killer, you dare to believe this kind of person." He straightened his face and turned to look at Ruan Qiu, "Is it because I didn't look vicious enough before? What about now? You are scary now? But you still want to exchange bronze coins news?"

"Change!"

Ruan Qiu said without hesitation: "I didn't want to interfere with Shifang City's affairs, but now it's about the truth I want to investigate. If I don't find that person as soon as possible, Sister Hanyue will still be in danger. Shopkeeper Tang, I want to know this Whose bronze coin is it!"

Moreover, Tang Xun was so fierce, he obviously didn't look angry...

When Ruan Qiu was full of confusion, Tang Xun also took a deep look at him, as if he wanted to say something to Ruan Qiu, but he didn't say anything to Ruan Qiu's firm autumn water eyes, and stood in the fish pond with his hands behind his back Before, pondered for a moment, and walked out.

Ruan Qiu was about to follow, but when he heard him sigh, he couldn't help but stop there.

"You are still young and don't know the dangers of the world. Go back and discuss it with your brother. If you still want to know at that time, come to me again tonight, and I will take you to find that person."

Ruan Qiu secretly rejoiced, and hurriedly said: "There is no need to discuss with others, I will not change my mind, shopkeeper Tang, you now..."

"Stop talking nonsense, I told you to wait until tonight, not even a moment less!"

Tang Xun seemed to have returned to his usual meanness, cast a disgusted look at Ruan Qiu and walked away quickly.After all, he was a monk in the stage of transforming gods, how could Ruan Qiu keep up with him?In the blink of an eye, Tang Xun disappeared, and Ruan Qiu had to give up in discouragement.

Just wait, it will be dark soon.

Ruan Qiu was never afraid of waiting.

In fact, when he went back to find Song Xinting and Axi, Tang Xun was standing behind the wall in front of him. Tang Xun came out when he walked away. Song Xue gave a low cough.

Tang Xun frowned, "Why did you come out?"

Song Xue suppressed the coughing, her face became paler, and she let Tang Xun help him back. After he recovered, he said in a hoarse voice: "Today's incident, it is obvious that someone set up a trap to drag you into the water. Tang Xun , are you really going to take Ruan Qiu to find someone tonight?"

Tang Xun's eyes flickered, and he hesitated, "It depends on whether he wants to go or not."

Song Xue sighed: "You were forced to leave the city lord's mansion back then. If that's the case, why bother to go back? Your old wounds haven't healed yet, and I can't cure you now. You are not in a hurry to find another famous doctor, but you want to find another famous doctor for your own sake. Going back for a favor is risky?"

After all, they are good friends who grew up together since childhood, so Tang Xun just speaks up when he has something to say.

"It's not just for repaying favors. They seriously injured you, caused your cultivation base to plummet, and caused me to lose a doctor. I'm not a generous person. Of course I have to avenge this revenge, not to mention..."

Thinking of the trust in those autumn water eyes just now, Tang Xun raised his lips and chuckled.

"He believed in me, and he was worth it."

Many years ago, he could go through life and death for Song Yantai's trust, and many years later, he could also return to the game for Ruan Qiu's trust.
