blood seal

Ye Chengyu tilted his head and thought for a while, then replied: "You did say that."

"I said that at the time, not only because he didn't recognize me as Yang Rui's subordinate, but because of everything he did after he entered the tea shed." Wen Rongchuan frowned slightly, recalling what happened in the tea shed that day, "As a killer, when entering a new environment, you should first observe the surrounding environment and anticipate possible variables, but at that time I was lying on the fence at the door, and when he entered the tea shed, he seemed to have not noticed my existence at all. .”

Ye Chengyu said: "It sounds like a problem."

"Besides, you were already poisoned at the time, and you inhaled his ecstasy drug. He clearly could have a quick solution, but he still hesitated. With such a 'cautious' attitude, it would be unreasonable to say that he is an experienced veteran. "While speaking, Wen Rongchuan had been carefully paying attention to Ye Chengyu's face, "After I 'woke up', the killer was clearly not far from you, and he had enough time to kill you first and then Attack me, but he chose to attack me first, do you know what this is called?"

Ye Chengyu continued: "A new branch arises out of nowhere."

Wen Rongchuan said: "So such a 'killer' who acts timidly, is clearly an inexperienced rookie."

Ye Chengyu smiled and said: "But he was poached by Yang Rui from the blood hall, how could Yang Rui want such a timid killer?"

Wen Rongchuan blinked again, making sure that Ye Chengyu didn't look annoyed, and then continued: "And... there is another question."

Ye Chengyu said: "What's the problem?"

Wen Rongchuan carefully covered his cheeks: "If I say so, you can't pinch me."

Ye Chengyu smiled and said, "Am I so narrow-minded?"

Wen Rongchuan looked at Ye Chengyu suspiciously for a while, and said cautiously: "It's the poison he put on you and your hidden guards."

Ye Chengyu said: "You want to ask, since I was able to suppress the poison with internal force, why couldn't my hidden guards do it?"

Wen Rongchuan looked at Ye Chengyu vigilantly, afraid that he would make a sudden attack: "This is indeed the problem."

Seeing Wen Rongchuan's movements, Ye Chengyu couldn't help but smile, leaned forward and pulled his hand covering his cheek: "How do you know that my hidden guard must have died of suicide?"

Wen Rongchuan said: "Qin Shaozong once said that the traitor's martial arts are not high, and most of them will not face the enemy head-on, but use devious methods such as poisoning."

Ye Chengyu pondered for a while, then said: "Perhaps the hidden guards also wanted to suppress it with internal force, but the poison they were poisoned couldn't be suppressed?"

Wen Rongchuan said: "Since this is the case, why can you suppress it, but they can't?"

Ye Chengyu smiled and said, "You just want to say that the traitor didn't want to kill me at all, didn't you?"

Wen Rongchuan also said with a smile: "If he is really not a newcomer, then this is the only possibility."

Ye Chengyu said: "So, before entering the tea shed, he has already discovered you, and deliberately delaying time is just waiting for you to help me?"

Wen Rongchuan nodded appreciatively: "Exactly."

The two have encountered many things since they got acquainted, and there are almost no situations that Ye Chengyu could not have imagined. Now there is finally one thing that Ye Chengyu doesn't understand. Wen Rongchuan is obviously in a good mood.

Ye Chengyu couldn't help laughing when he saw him like this, and then continued: "But after that killer recognized you, he really couldn't hide his murderous intent for a moment."

Wen Rongchuan naturally noticed what Ye Chengyu said, and he said flatly: "He doesn't want to kill you, but it doesn't mean he doesn't want to kill me either. I still remember the day he came back to replace your secret guard, I was in Xun Do you feel murderous aura in Fengshan Villa?"

"Could it be that he really wants to kill you?" Ye Chengyu frowned, "If that's the case, why did he join the Ghost Demon Sect? Under Yang Rui, it's even more impossible for him to do anything to you."

Wen Rongchuan spread his hands and said: "This kind of thing, you will know when you catch someone, but he has already joined the Ghost Demon Sect, so I'm afraid it won't be so easy to catch him back."

Ye Chengyu said again: "So, the target of the 'poison' needle in the inn is also you?"

Wen Rongchuan said: "Shen Yunxi said that nothing happened to her when she left Yucheng for a month, and she was attacked when she met me. I was standing next to Shen Yunxi at that time. This possibility is very high, and there are many people in the inn. , the use of silver needles is also the least likely to be discovered, and if it hits an important acupoint, it will be choking even if it is not afraid of poison."

Ye Chengyu frowned and said: "Maybe Shaozong can know something, it seems that we need to talk to him about this matter."

Wen Rongchuan sighed: "If he can think of using Yan Minshan as bait, he really knows the traitors very well."

"Shaozong's bet is that Miss Shen will go to seek help and reveal the news of Min Shan's arrest, so when we talk at the inn, the traitor may be listening in the dark." Ye Chengyu pondered for a while, Then, as if thinking of something, he suddenly asked, "Young Sect told you that traitors will definitely seek revenge in Su City, right?"

Wen Rongchuan said: "What did you think of?"

Ye Chengyu said: "Do you still remember the Qi Kongxing I mentioned before leaving Mingfeng Pavilion?"

Wen Rongchuan showed doubts: "Is it the young master of the Qi family in Sucheng?"

The Qi family they mentioned is a new force in Sucheng in recent years. Although they are not well-known, Wen Rongchuan has always heard of this name. Ye Chengyu mentioned this person at this time. Could it be that this matter is also related to Qi Kongxing?

Ye Chengyu said: "More than two years ago, Qi Kongxing traveled abroad and rescued a seriously injured person. This was an act of kindness, but he was gradually attracted by that person during his relationship with that person. After the person's injury finally healed, Qi Kongxing also learned that the person's identity turned out to be a killer, and he didn't want the person to leave, so he imprisoned him in the Qi family..."

Speaking of this, Ye Chengyu stopped, as if he felt that the next words were difficult to say, Wen Rongchuan saw his strange expression, and his expression suddenly became subtle.

Although Ye Chengyu didn't finish his words, judging from his expression, it's not hard for Wen Rongchuan to guess what Qi Kongxing did to that person.

Seeing that Wen Rongchuan seemed to have figured it out, Ye Chengyu sighed softly, and continued: "In just one year, that person committed suicide in the Qi family because he couldn't bear the humiliation."

Wen Rongchuan hesitated and said: "Now the Qi family is quite famous in Sucheng, but Qi Kongxing, as the young master of the Qi family, did such a thing, so there is no criticism?"

Ye Chengyu said: "When such a thing happened, the Qi family naturally suppressed it immediately. The few people who knew about it also laughed it off because of their status as killers of the dead."

Wen Rongchuan wondered: "Could it be that this killer is related to a traitor?"

Ye Chengyu said: "As far as I know, the killer who committed suicide came from the Blood Hall—that is to say, he was the partner of Eleven and that traitor."

Wen Rongchuan's face changed slightly, and he vaguely understood what happened.

And Ye Chengyu went on to say: "Judging from the way Shaozong thought of arresting people, that traitor should be a very affectionate person, then his companion chose to commit suicide after such a thing happened, how could he not?" action?"

Wen Rongchuan frowned and said: "But Qi Kongxing seems to be fine so far."

Ye Chengyu said: "A year ago, Shaozong went to Sucheng for business, if I guessed correctly, it might have something to do with it."

Wen Rongchuan said: "So you think it's because Qin Shaozong prevented him from taking revenge that he chose to betray?"

Ye Chengyu said: "This is just my guess, and if it's just like this, Shaozong shouldn't feel guilty when talking about the reasons for the traitor's betrayal, unless..."

Ye Chengyu stopped in the middle of speaking, and showed a strange expression again, thinking of something.

Wen Rongchuan didn't care about why the traitor betrayed him, so he didn't think too much about Ye Chengyu's hesitation, and instead asked, "Speaking of which, when are you going to tell Yan Minshan and the others that Shen Yunxi is fine?"

When Ye Chengyu heard this, he just smiled mysteriously: "Of course I will know later."

Wen Rongchuan's doubts were quickly answered.

Because Yan Minshan was concerned about Shen Yunxi's safety, they left Mingfeng Pavilion and kept on their way, passing through several villages without stopping. Therefore, when the carriage in front stopped suddenly, Wen Rongchuan thought it was because they had encountered a bandit .

Just when Wen Rongchuan wanted to ask, Yan Minshan shouted outside: "Miss Yunxi! It's great that you're fine!"

Wen Rongchuan was startled, and immediately looked at Ye Chengyu, but saw that he seemed to have expected it, and just smiled and said: "Let's go down."

Ye Chengyu opened the curtain and got out of the carriage first. Wen Rongchuan followed his footsteps and got out of the carriage. Just as he landed, he heard Shen Yunxi's voice from the front: "Do you hope I have something to do?"

Yan Minshan hurriedly explained: "Of course not, we are all worried about you!"

When Wen Rongchuan and the others walked to the front, they saw Shen Yunxi leaning against the tree trunk with folded arms, looking coldly at Yan Minshan. Standing beside her was the secret guard Ye Chengyu sent when he left Mingfeng Pavilion.

Seeing such a situation, Qin Shaozong naturally knew that Shen Yunxi's appearance was related to Ye Chengyu. Seeing Ye Chengyu walking towards them, he immediately rushed forward with a bitter face: "Old Ye! This is why you are not kind. , to hide it from us like this!"

Ye Chengyu said indifferently: "I'm just fighting an eye for an eye."

Shen Yunxi glanced at them, then turned her gaze back to Yan Minshan: "Have you ever cared about me?"

Her tone was calm, without any emotion, Yan Minshan immediately said: "Of course, I──"

Before Yan Minshan finished speaking, there was a "pa" sound, so powerful that even Ye Chengyu couldn't help but startled, Wen Rongchuan couldn't help but reached out and touched his cheek—he suddenly felt, Ye Chengyu treated him really kindly.

Shen Yunxi still couldn't see any emotion on her face. After she slapped her, she performed lightness kung fu and left without looking back. After recovering from her senses, Yan Minshan quickly chased after her to explain.

Qin Shaozong opened his mouth wide, watched the figures of the two disappear in front of his eyes in an instant, and muttered: "They just ran away like this? The traitor may still be staring at Shen Yunxi..."

Ye Chengyu said indifferently: "Miss Shen is only carrying a saber. If you want to come to the village in front of your bag, they should stop there. We can follow slowly."

Eleven came to Qin Shaozong's side and asked in a low voice: "Master, do you need your subordinates to follow up and take a look?"

"No need." Qin Shaozong finally closed his mouth and grabbed Eleven's shoulders, "Did you see it just now? Such a tigress must never follow. You should stay by my side and don't always think about it." Some don’t.”

Eleven narrowed her eyes and said, "The subordinate will always stay by the master's side until the master no longer needs the subordinate."

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Wen Rongchuan asked Ye Chengyu in a low voice: "What's the matter with them?"

Ye Chengyu simply explained: "Young Sect is worried that Eleven and Miss Shen ran away. Because of some misunderstandings, Eleven was taken in by the Shen family a year ago. Zong is dissatisfied and always disagrees with Eleven staying with Shaozong."

Yan Minshan had already told Wen Rongchuan what happened back then, and Wen Rongchuan immediately understood the situation of the two of them after listening to it, remembering what Qin Shaozong said when he asked them to persuade Shi Shi, he couldn't help but lean towards Shen Yunxi, and Qin Shaozong had already listened to it The conversation between the two immediately issued a protest of dissatisfaction.

"What is she? I still don't agree that Amin is with such a dominatrix!" Qin Shaozong snorted forcefully, "But didn't she go to the Demon Demon Sect to find Amin? Why did she come back so soon?"

Ye Chengyu said: "After Miss Shen arrived at the Ghost Demon Sect, she found that the sect was heavily guarded, and it seemed that something serious had happened. After infiltrating to inquire, she learned that Yang Rui had started retreat after returning from Sucheng's serious injury, and hadn't left for a while. , so he believed that the matter of Minshan had nothing to do with Shigui Sect, so he left there soon."

Wen Rongchuan asked suspiciously: "Yang Rui was really hurt so badly? I didn't move for so long, I thought he finally didn't want my blood anymore."

Ye Chengyu fell silent when he heard the words, and looked straight at Wen Rongchuan.

He just watched it like this for a long time, until Wen Rongchuan felt a little uncomfortable being watched, then he heard Ye Chengyu slowly say: "If this is really the case, then I'm afraid it's not a good thing."

Wen Rongchuan said, "What do you mean?"

Ye Chengyu asked: "Have you ever been injured in front of Yang Rui in the past, or have you let him touch your blood?"

Wen Rongchuan said almost without thinking: "Except for the time when the temple was destroyed in Sucheng, no."

Ye Chengyu fell silent again, he didn't know what he was thinking, Wen Rongchuan was about to ask again, but Qin Shaozong was already impatient.

"These are not important." Qin Shaozong let go of Eleven and came to Wen Rongchuan and the two, "The problem between Amin and the traitor has been resolved, so it's time to change my business?"

Hearing this, Wen Rongchuan immediately turned to Eleven and said, "Eleven, Qin Shaozong thinks that you have been too capricious these days, and wants you to be more obedient."

When Eleventh heard the words, his face turned pale, and he immediately knelt down heavily: "This subordinate is rude, I hope the master will forgive me."

……

Ye Chengyu couldn't help chuckling, while Qin Shaozong glared at Wen Rongchuan, and said viciously to Eleven: "Get up! Don't just kneel at every turn. If you don't know, you'll think I've abused you!"

Wen Rongchuan still said indifferently: "Staying by your side is a form of abuse."

He originally wanted to embarrass Qin Shaozong, but Ye Chengyu who was beside him agreed: "That assassin's betrayal was because of this reason?"

Wen Rongchuan was startled, and immediately looked at Qin Shaozong and the two, and saw that their expressions changed slightly.

Qin Shaozong blushed and retorted hastily: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Eleven also hurriedly said: "It was I who failed to convince Shi Qi that Shi Qi misunderstood the master. This is my negligence and has nothing to do with the master."

Wen Rongchuan listened in a daze: "What's going on?"

Ye Chengyu said indifferently: "It seems that the killer felt that Shiyi was wronged by Shaozong's side, so he wanted to kill Shaozong for him."

……

Wen Rongchuan looked at Qin Shaozong with a complicated expression, his gaze was undisguised, Qin Shaozong immediately understood what he was thinking, and said angrily: "It is clear that the traitor was stimulated by his brother's death, because I won't let him take revenge , actually settled the account on my head!"

"His brother?" Wen Rongchuan immediately remembered what Ye Chengyu mentioned in the carriage, "Could it be the killer that Qi Kongxing rescued?"

Qin Shaozong thought he needed another explanation, but now that Wen Rongchuan didn't ask any further questions, he understood that Ye Chengyu had already told him.

"That's it." Worried that Wen Rongchuan would continue to add fuel to the flames, Qin Shaozong hurriedly grabbed Wen Rongchuan and went back to his carriage, "If you have any questions, go back to the car and talk about it... Lao Ye, Eleven is in your hands. What you told me."

Wen Rongchuan wanted to say something, but Qin Shaozong had already covered his mouth and dragged him into the car.
