Beautiful lady, why not follow the thief

After listening to Tongque's words, Xie Wuqiu glanced at the sword, and said with a sneer, "Why should I listen to you? I don't need you to teach me what I like to do."

Tongque clenched his sword tightly: "Will you kill or not?"

Xie Wuqiu said: "If I want to kill you, kill yourself."

Bronze Sparrow looked at him coldly for a while, then let out a disdainful snort from its nasal cavity, stopped arguing with him, turned back to the sword, and stabbed the girl in the pool of blood.

But this time, Yan Heng touched Jianfeng, and Tongque was puzzled: "Young master?"

Yan Heng pressed his brows, and said lightly: "Lock her up first, and save her life."

"Little Lord……"

"Just do it, no need to ask."

Tongque was doubtful, then glared at Xie Wuqiu displeasedly, and finally lowered his head: "Yes."

Xie Wuqiu glanced at Yan Heng, seeming to be surprised.

Tongque leaned down and picked up the girl. When she walked to the door, Xie Wuqiu was still standing there. She was about to say something, but Yan Heng interrupted: "You go first, I have a few words to ask him."

After Tongque left, Xie Wuqiu looked at Yan Heng with interest: "What does Master Yan want to ask?"

Yan Heng looked at him quietly, and was not in a hurry to speak, but took out a silk cloth from his bosom to gently wipe the blood on his hands and needles.He wiped it seriously, but his eyes seemed to be thinking about something, which invisibly brought Xie Wuqiu a little pressure.

Xie Wuqiu walked around the table and sat down, licked some dry lips: "Are you asking?"

Yan Heng threw the bloody silk cloth on the table casually, and it slipped into Xie Wuqiu's eyes.Yan Heng raised his head and gave him a slight smile.

Xie Wuqiu raised his eyebrows, his heart was full of suspicion.I saw Yan Heng slowly approaching him, sat down opposite him, and put his hand on his forearm lightly, just like he did just now.But this time it wasn't a threat, he was just rubbing it lightly.

Xie Wuqiu glanced at him, his expression unchanged: "What?"

"How about the last injury?" Yan Heng asked.

"Okay."

"Oh, that's good." Yan Heng nodded, seemingly unintentionally, "By the way, I remember that you have a knife wound on your arm, doesn't it look like a new one?"

"It's an old injury."

"Oh." Yan Heng withdrew his hand, lowered his eyes, and suddenly said: "'Xinglin's legacy will last for five generations', this eight-character prophecy is really what you saw from the stone wall, not from other places. cheated on me?"

Xie Wuqiu snorted coldly: "What's the benefit of being fooled by you? It's not the first time I've said this, Yan Lou. Since you mentioned it again, I'll tell you again. Don't be suspicious, and don't be suspicious when you hire someone. That's the truth." You know better than me, don't you?"

Yan Heng smiled and said: "Naturally. How can I doubt you? It's just that I am rambunctious, and I like to ask a few more questions. Xie Shaoxia, please forgive me?"

Xie Wuqiu pursed his lips and squinted at him: "Don't dare."

"Then I'll repeat one more word." Yan Heng still smiled, staring at Xie Wuqiu without blinking, "How did you get the injury on your hand?"

Xie Wuqiu's expression didn't change: "I was playful when I was a child, and I was bitten by a poisonous snake. To prevent the spread of my poison, Qin Duanyang cut my flesh decisively and left a scar."

"Oh." Yan Heng showed a look of sudden realization, nodded slowly, and then smiled teasingly, "Didn't your master treat you well in the past?"

Xie Wuqiu narrowed his eyes, showing a somewhat dangerous look.

"This knife gouged so deeply, it must be a poisonous snake, I don't know what it looks like?" Yan Heng put on a curious attitude asking for advice.

"Money with white patterns, round head and high ridges, it is indeed a poisonous snake."

"Really." Yan Heng smiled inexplicably, "You have a really good memory. It happened so many years ago, and you can still remember the details so clearly."

Xie Wuqiu licked his teeth with the tip of his tongue, and then stood up: "Are you done asking? I'll leave after asking." He stepped over the chair, shook his robe, and walked towards the door.

"Hold on."

Yan Heng looked at his back against the light, and gradually suppressed his smile: "There is one last thing."

On the low elm table, Yan Heng pushed down an expensive white-glazed secret-color porcelain hexagonal bottle without blinking, and it fell to pieces with a crisp "click".

***

"You mean he failed to complete the redemption array?"

"Yes, when I opened the door and went in, the young master fell to the ground, the sacrificial child was still alive, and the curse mark had already surfaced, but the true energy of reversal in the young master was not lacking."

Bronze Sparrow frowned, repeating absently.

"Feige, why do you think this happened?"

"Where is the sacrificial son, have you tried it?"

"No, I fainted. I picked the person. I have already checked and checked that there is no problem."

"Don't be careless. What about people, I'll go to interrogate. You and Liushang go to see Xiaoheng first."

"Okay. People are locked in the dungeon."

Feige turned his head and went towards the dungeon, Tongque sighed heavily in disbelief.The two of them were talking just now, but Liu Shang didn't dare to intervene, and now he timidly poked Tongque: "You said, is the "Golden Hazel Song" that I got back from Cangya Mountain true? Since the young head coach It seems that the situation is getting worse? The young master won't, won't anything happen, right?"

"Crow's Mouth." Bronze Sparrow gave him a fierce look.Liu Shang had no choice but to shut his mouth in grievance.

When the two rushed to Yan Heng's bedroom, they saw Yan Heng standing in front of the door wearing a cloak, staring blankly at a dry and bald apricot tree, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Young master, why are you standing outside? Turn around and catch a cold from the wind, go inside!" Tongque ran over impatiently to bring him back to his senses.

When Yan Heng saw the person coming, he sighed slightly: "I told you not to treat me like a porcelain figure, it's nothing to be blown away." He struggled helplessly, but was still blackmailed by Tongque and pushed back into the room.

Tongque pressed Yan Heng on the chair, poured him hot tea, Liu Shang was already on the sidelines and couldn't wait to ask: "Young master, what happened just now? Why was the formation interrupted? It has never happened before. ah!"

Yan Heng made a gesture of calm and not rash, and took a sip of tea slowly.Both Tongque and Liushang looked at him anxiously, but he didn't seem to notice, staring blankly at the ground, after a long time, he slowly closed his eyes and took a breath.When he opened his eyes again, the eyes were finally clear again.

Yan Heng looked at the two people seated, took out a book from his sleeve and spread it on the table.

It is the half of "Witch Hazel".

"I suspect that this book is fake."

Tongque's eyes froze, and Liushang jumped up immediately: "I'll tell you! Ever since you practiced it, young master, things have started to happen. It must be a problem with the book!"

"However," Tongque pondered, "young master, you have said that there are many overlaps between this book and the Yan family's incomplete copy. If it is said to be fake, how can those be explained? Why is the incomplete part fake? "

Liu Shang was taken aback for a moment, then fixedly looked at Yan Heng, but Yan Heng did not speak, as if giving them time to think.

Liu Shang looked at Tongque from the left, then Yan Heng, then looked down at the book, thought carefully, and suddenly said: "The young master is saying... This, this fake book, is it man-made? It was deliberately made for you. Fake?!"

Tongque said in a deep voice: "It must be so. Moreover, that person must be someone close to us, someone who knows the remnants of the Yan family."

Liu Shang was startled: "Aren't we the ones who know that? How is that possible?" He looked at Yan Heng timidly, as if begging Yan Heng to explain.

Yan Heng looked back at him calmly, but still didn't say a word.

"Liu Shang, you forgot, besides us, there is another person." Tongque gritted his teeth, "Thank you, Wu, Qiu!"

"He?" Liu Shang was stunned, "But, how would he know..."

"He has so many opportunities to get close to the young master, what else can he not know!" Tongque said angrily, "I knew he was not innocent, so he came here for this! Heh, young master, just say a word, I am now Just grab him."

Tongque pulled out her sword with a "swish", and Liushang had already held her down first: "Tongque, calm down, the young master hasn't spoken yet, don't wrong others, besides, you, you are not his opponent."

"What did you say?!"

"Bah! You are you, I mean, ah, I..."

"Okay." Yan Heng put the teacup on the shore, and with a crisp sound, the room became quiet.

"Tongque, you said he was 'for this', and for which?" Yan Heng said.

"It's the witch hazel!"

"Then he took the book and left to make a fake book to hurt me, and now he still stays with me, why?"

"He... may not be for himself, he must be a spy sent by Cangya Mountain. He not only wants to seize the book, but also wants to take the young master's life!"

Liu Shang said blankly: "But, but he is Xie Wuqiu, how could he be a spy of Cangya Mountain? It is too late for Cangya Mountain to kill him."

Tongque glared at Liushang angrily, Liushang lowered his head and closed his mouth again, Tongque squeezed the hilt of his sword fiercely, and said: "That is, in order to find the complete "Golden Hazel Song" with the help of Twelfth Floor, Tongque And lurking beside the young master in a false allegiance."

"If that's the case, why is he so anxious to hurt me?" Yan Heng sighed, "Okay, Tongque, you have too much prejudice against him. Calm down first."

Tongque turned his eyes away, pursed his lips, withdrew his sword reluctantly, and said sullenly: "Yes, I have a prejudice against him. That's because the young master trusts him too much? I really don't understand, Why does the young master always speak for him? Is it because he is a guest of Tanwan?! It is the young master, you miss him day and night..."

"Hey, come on, let's talk about that." Yan Heng interrupted, "I don't trust him either. Isn't what I said the truth?"

Bronze Sparrow pouted: "Yes, I admit it. But can the young master tell me, if you don't doubt him, who do you doubt? He has no reason, the others have no reason, everyone has no reason, and the few of us have no reason. It's someone who has been with the young master for so many years, so I should be the first to doubt him, shouldn't I?"

Yan Heng turned his head sideways, and traced the grain on the solid wooden table with his fingers unintentionally. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "Yes. But there is no need, I can tell you his identity today."

Both Tongque and Liushang were taken aback.

Liu Shang said: "Isn't it Xie Wuqiu, we already know. Does he... have other identities?"

"Yes." Yan Heng said calmly, "He is actually the person my father arranged for me. I have seen the token and confirmed his identity."

The two were shocked and said in unison: "How is it possible?!"

Tongque frowned and said: "Young master, I don't have to ask about the arrangement of the old landlord, but tokens can also be forged, how can you be sure?"

Yan Heng said quietly: "Because he also sent me the second part of "The Song of the Golden Hazel."

"what?!"

The two dead men were both dumbfounded, one was shocked and the other was absurd and speechless. After a long while, Tongque said, "When did it happen? How can you tell if the book is real or not?"

Yan Heng said: "Not long ago. I wasn't sure if it was true or not, so I didn't tell you. But this time, because I practiced a fake book and something went wrong, I tried to use the lower part as a living horse doctor. Now look at it. Come on, it's true."

"However, because the upper part is a remnant, it is still difficult to fully grasp the real redemption formation. This lower part can only be released first."

Tongque hesitated to speak, thought for a long time, and could only say: "Then the young master put it away, don't be discovered by... that inner ghost."

"Don't worry, since you have an inner ghost, you have to carry it with you, and you will never leave it at night." Yan Heng emphasized with ambiguity.

Liu Shang still couldn't recover from the shock just now, and he just interjected blankly after hearing the words: "Who is that inner ghost?"

Both Yan Heng and Tongque were thinking about each other, and fell silent.
