Looking for plums under the moon

"What's going on?" Ling Guyue looked at Xiao Qiu who was chasing from behind, "What's wrong with Shen Luo?"

Xiaoqiu ran up to the two of them, held Ling Guyue's arm, raised his face, and said anxiously: "Brother, Big Brother Shen hasn't lost his martial arts at all! He lied to you!"

Lu Yuan was taken aback when she heard the words, and looked at Ling Guyue suspiciously, "Master Pingchuan..."

Ling Guyue avoided her gaze without showing any trace, pretending to be relaxed and said: "What are you talking about, Shen Luo naturally has not lost his martial arts."

Seeing that his expression was different, Xiao Qiu knew that it was because of the presence of others, so he softened his tone a little, "Senior brother, I have something to tell you." Pulling him aside, he explained in a low voice: "Senior brother, that night was actually Brother Shen told me to go over there!"

Ling Guyue glanced at him, as if she wanted to see clearly what he was thinking.

Xiao Qiu continued: "Brother Shen called me over that night, but he strangled me as soon as I walked into his room. I wanted to call my brother, but he killed me at that time, and I couldn't even make a sound. Out...I was about to suffocate to death, I was so scared, so I took out the dagger to resist...The senior brother came, somehow it became me pressing Brother Shen to stab him..."

Ling Guyue still kept her expression calm, she didn't know if she believed it or not.

Xiao Qiu said anxiously: "Everything I said is true, there is absolutely no deceit!"

"You held me back that day just to talk about it?" Ling Guyue asked.

Xiao Qiu nodded, "Brother Shen was next to senior brother at that time, and I couldn't say it directly... That's why I wrote it on senior brother's hand, I wanted to remind senior brother."

Ling Guyue smiled lightly: "Of course I don't want to doubt you, but you said that Shen Luo didn't lose his martial arts, could it be that he is lying to me?"

Xiao Qiu saw that although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes, it seemed that the senior brother did not believe him.Pursing her lips, she immediately pulled off her collar, "Brother, please look at my neck... This is the fingerprint left by Brother Shen!"

Ling Guyue's eyes fell on his thin neck, and she saw that it was covered with bluish-purple bruises. Judging from the shape, it was indeed the fingerprint of an adult man.

Xiao Qiu said: "If Big Brother Shen really lost his martial arts, he would never be able to use such great strength."

Ling Guyue remained silent, at this moment he frowned slightly, thinking: That fingerprint... seems to be similar to Ping Chuan's fingering.

"If Big Brother Shen really lost all his martial arts skills, how could he be Xiao Qiu's opponent, and how could he survive until Senior Brother?"

Ling Guyue collected herself and shook her head lightly, "Impossible, I have checked his veins, and he really has no internal energy."

Xiao Qiu said: "Senior Brother, Master once told me that one can restrain one's inner strength without being noticed by practicing martial arts to a certain level, maybe Brother Shen..." He raised his head and suddenly saw Ling Guyue's calm expression, Without realizing it, he shut his mouth.

Ling Guyue looked at Yaoyao's way, with bright red clothes and blue hair, "He said he would never lie to me again, I believe him."

Xiao Qiu couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes, "Why does senior brother only trust Big Brother Shen and not me?"

Ling Guyue stroked the top of his hair, and her hair was no longer as rough and yellow as it was more than a month ago, "Xiaoqiu, you are very smart, if you were sinking, I believe you would not have let him down ten years ago." Put yourself in danger."

Xiao Qiu lowered his head and looked at his toes, he closed his eyes forcefully, squeezed out the blurred tears in his eyes, and a voice came from the bottom of his heart: "I wish I was the one who suffered in those years, so that I can meet my senior brother sooner." It's gone..." He raised his head, his expression was calm, "Senior brother, whether you believe what I said or not, you'd better go back to the inn and have a look, because what Brother Shen wants to kill is not a Jiang Hu The middleman, that person is Zhang Yi, an official of the imperial court..."

Ling Guyue blinked, "Zhang Yi?" He thought about it, as if it was the purple-robed man from yesterday?

Xiao Qiu nodded, "I secretly saw Brother Shen showing a murderous look towards him."

"This..." Ling Guyue was a little shaken again, Shen Luo was very jealous, I don't know how much he listened to what I told him not to make random moves.

Xiao Qiu persuaded: "It's quite troublesome to get involved with people in the court, brother, let's go back and have a look."

Ling Guyue sighed, and turned her head to look at Lu Yuan again. At this moment, she was looking forward to it, looking at the distant mountain top from time to time.

Ling Guyue and Xiaoqiu walked back to the original road, and said to her: "Miss Luyuan, I have some urgent matters to deal with, can I go back to the city first and leave later?"

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Young Master Fei Yi, if you have something to do, you can go first, and I can go up the mountain by myself."

Ling Guyue said: "There are many wild animals on the mountain, the mountain is high and the road is dangerous, and the danger is unpredictable. Girl, don't be in a hurry, let's wait for us to set off together."

Lu Yuan declined politely: "I can wait, but the host..." She lowered her head, bit her lips, "Any delay will be more dangerous, I think it's better to go up the mountain as soon as possible. Mr. Scarlet Clothes don't have to feel It's difficult, although I don't know martial arts, but there are ways to protect myself, don't worry, my lord."

Seeing that she was determined, Ling Guyue was a little hesitant.

At this time, Xiao Qiu stepped forward and walked to Lu Yuan's side, "Senior brother, why don't you let me protect this girl, you go back and find Big Brother Shen!"

Ling Guyue worried: "You are still a child, how can you protect others?"

Lu Yuan glanced at Xiao Chou, her eyes sparkled, she shook her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, young master, I'm fine by myself."

Xiao Qiu smiled, his brows showed a heroic spirit, showing a bit of stability, he said to Ling Guyue: "Brother, don't treat me like a child anymore, I'm already 17 years old, I should be older than this girl , I will send her to Jiaochen Pavilion safely."

Ling Guyue looked at the winding path up the mountain from her feet, and it was quite clear, she thought for a while and said: "This is the only way to do it now," and then took out a jade pendant from her waist and handed it to the two, "This is Pingchuan's token , Seeing this, Jiaochen Pavilion will not embarrass you."

Xiao Qiu put away the jade pendant, put it in his close-fitting clothes, and nodded, "Don't worry, brother."

Ling Guyue instructed the two of them: "Be careful on the road, I will catch up with you as soon as possible."

Xiao Qiu nodded, turned around and said to Lu Yuan, "Let's go."

Lu Yuan nodded, "Master Fei Yi also take care."

Ling Guyue cupped her hands to say goodbye, and watched the figures of the two gradually disappear into the dense forest, and then she performed lightness kung fu, her steps were jerked, and suddenly she jumped several feet away.

All the way through Lin Duye, Ling Guyue thought in her heart that Shen Luo would not cause any more trouble, while rushing towards the city quickly.

When I came outside the inn building, I saw that the lobby was still calm and quiet, and it seemed that nothing had happened.

"Guest officer, haven't you already checked out? Why are you back?" A waiter passed by him and asked unexpectedly when he saw Ling Guyue.

Ling Guyue smiled, "I came to look for my junior brother, he came back to pick up something left here."

"Ah?" The man scratched his head, "Your junior brother? Is that the guest officer in black, or that kid?"

"The one in black, is he back?"

The guy shook his head blankly, "No, I've been running here for a long time and haven't seen that guest officer come back?"

Ling Guyue was taken aback, could it be that she was walking too fast, and Shen Luo hadn't arrived yet, so she missed him on the way?

After thinking for a while, he said: "It's nothing, it seems that I was a step ahead, and it's the same if I take it."

Ling Guyue went upstairs and walked into Shen Luo's room, but she searched the corner of the wardrobe and bed but couldn't find the Cold Light Sword. She was wondering where he put the sword, when suddenly her ear tip moved, as if it came from somewhere downstairs. There was a sound of □□.

It was a very soft howl, fleeting.

But Ling Guyue's ears are so good that he heard it.

Walk out the door and go down to the second floor, but the voice never sounded again.

Ling Guyue grabbed a clerk, pointed to a door from memory, and asked: "Brother, let me ask you, who lives in this room?"

"Oh," the man introduced warmly: "This is a Tianzihao house, and there is a gentleman living there. His servant seems to be calling him Mr. Zhang."

Ling Guyue's heart skipped a beat, Zhang Yi?

"Is the guest officer looking for Mr. Zhang?" the man asked.

"Nothing, thank you." Seeing the buddy scratching his ears, Ling Guyue walked slowly to the door of this room and listened quietly for a while.

Sure enough, another slight noise came from the room.

In the Tianzihao room with the doors and windows closed, the light is dim, and no one is lighting the lamp. It can be seen that the interior furnishings are more luxurious than other rooms, and the place is more spacious.

A black shadow stood quietly in the room, and there was a person lying at his feet. The palm of the right hand of that person was spread out on the ground at the moment, and was crushed heavily by the foot of the man in black.

"Is your dirty hand worthy of touching him?" With a deep laugh, the strength under his feet became a little heavier.

"Cough..." The person lying on the ground was gasping for breath. The severe pain came from his right arm, but he couldn't utter a word.

This person is Zhang Yi. Today, he had an appointment with his colleagues from the state capital to drink and have fun in a restaurant in the city. Unexpectedly, he just sent the servant to answer the call. He straightened his clothes and was about to go out. A gust of black wind that came in was hitting the door in front of him.Blink to see clearly, where is the wind?It is clearly a person!

I've seen that person before, the one who stared at me angrily yesterday, I saw him point his finger, and I couldn't move or speak, like a piece of soft and rotten fish, I could only do it. At the mercy of others.

Zhang Yi's face was twisted, and his body was shaking like a sieve, which was very different from the handsome young man who was shaking the fan yesterday.He wanted to call for help, but he couldn't make a sound. He only hoped that this person was just asking for money to vent his anger and not hurt his life.

The three-foot green edge was cold, the snow-white sword light shook Zhang Yi's eyes, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the man said coldly: "I wanted to kill you, but I promised him not to kill anyone again, so... ...Break your arm, you should be content."

The sword flower was lingering, bringing with it an unstoppable wind, and it was about to fall with a clang, and it was about to slash on the arm in purple silk.

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes and passed out.

It was at this time that a strange number suddenly appeared!

The door of the room was opened from the outside with a "bang", and another extremely sharp sword blocked his sword tip. When the two touched for the first time, golden sparks were drawn, and the hand holding the sword trembled. All fell to the ground.

The light outside the door suddenly shone into the room, and also shone on Shen Luo's face.

Shen Luo was caught off guard, squinted his eyes, and stretched out his hand to block the sunlight that leaked in. When he frowned and let go of his hand, his face froze.

The man in red stood at the door, his face pale against the light.

"Master, senior brother..." Shen Luo's lips moved, as if to explain something.
