Shen Tian, ​​who didn't know anything about the "prayer", was also stunned for a while after reading the letter, but he didn't send anyone to find him after all.He has his own considerations, if he is just Shen Tian, ​​he doesn't really mind having a younger brother like Shen Jin, and he doesn't mind putting him under his wings to protect him, but after all he is not just Shen Tian, ​​he knows very well , if Qian Mian leaves this world, he will soon follow him.Afterwards, no matter whether Shen Jin chooses to inherit the Lintian School or live the life he wants to live, there is no harm for him to go out to experience more, but it is enough to send a few more hidden guards to follow him to ensure his safety.

Fu Hexin has always respected his choice, and he has no objection to this arrangement.

After dinner, the two spent the night warmly, and then got busy again the next day.

Since Shen Tian's plan is to make the head of the Lintian faction a hidden stake in the court, and he has been preparing for this for so many years, and all aspects have been fully formed, it is inconvenient for him to intervene, maybe he will fight Messy plan.

After saying goodbye to Shen Tian, ​​he took the initiative to find King Ping.

At this time, King Ping had been looking for him for a long time, and as soon as they met, he asked him why he didn't give to the person who wanted to kill King Ning.

"Do you know that King Ning is going crazy now? He was just dealing with our father who came to investigate Xuanyang's extermination case, but now because his confidant was killed, he caught a little clue and bit anyone he saw. Now he The identities of those who died have been found out, and they are looking for evidence that the Qingming Sect slaughtered other sects in the past. It is obvious that they want to deal a fatal blow to the Qingming Sect. If the Qingming Sect can't bear it and confess you, Even I can't protect you!"

Fu Hexin was surprised, even though King Ping might just be talking, he never thought that King Ping would say, "He will protect him."

Originally planning to push back the words, he swallowed them silently, watching King Ping wait for him to vent completely before telling what he knew about King Rui's side.

Fu Hexin: "Qing Mingjiao won't confess me for the time being, but what happens after that, that's for sure."

King Ping looked at him.

Fu Hexin raised his eyes and looked back: "My lord, we've been laying out the game for so long, it's time to close the line."

As he spoke, he spoke out his plan.

Not long after Gu Qingxu saw Qianmian, he originally wanted to go back to Qingming Sect directly, but one of his subordinates felt that he should go to see King Rui. Even if you don't confess the true identity of the poisonous wolf to King Rui, you should tell King Rui about the situation of the leader at this time, otherwise King Ning will really discredit them and let them attack by several sects. Insufficient manpower, the leader failed to escape, but the loss outweighed the gain.

Gu Qingxu thought about it, nodded and accepted his suggestion, and the day before King Rui left for the capital, he went to the posthouse where he was staying.

In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Gu Qingxu didn't let anyone report it, but pretended to be a certain servant, and was about to go to the kitchen to bring a cup of tea, pretending to bring him tea and mix it into the house, but before he reached the kitchen , and saw a group of people who were not unfamiliar to him enter his study room following a personal bodyguard of King Rui.

Ever since the reputation of the Qingming Sect has become more and more discredited, King Rui has been making up his mind to replace the Qingming Sect with a well-known decent sect, and because of this, he has come into contact with many sects, and finally he will choose the Danxia Sect, except for the leader of the Danxia Sect. In addition to ambition, it was more because of the grievances between their head and the Shen family of the Lintian faction, and the fact that this sect was not as profitable as it seemed, and they had a handle on them, so they would wholeheartedly listen to his arrangements.

But after what happened last time, spies reported that the Danxia sect had been contacted by King Heping, even if King Rui wanted to appease the Qingming sect, he didn't intend to spend energy to help the Danxia sect, so naturally he had to look for other sects.

The person led into the house by his bodyguard was a certain sect that Gu Qingxu had contacted before, and at that time Gu Qingxu also strongly pushed this sect, but King Rui didn't choose them later.

Seeing that King Rui intends to contact them now, Gu Qingxu's dissatisfaction in his heart because King Rui was eager to discredit Qing Mingjiao has faded a lot because of this. After all, King Rui treats them differently from others, and he thinks of King Rui again. It wasn't the year of King Rui, the clumsy and polite boy who asked him for sword skills again and again.

After King Rui proposed to establish the Qingming Sect, they have worked hard for him outside until now, and they are always worried that he will treat them like the whole sect, and they still work for him, aren't they thinking of the friendship from back then?

If it wasn't for the frequent injuries of the guardians of the Qing Ming sect and the forced entry of their leader, he would not have doubted King Rui.

Maybe he should have an open and honest talk with him.

Gu Qing Xu Zheng thought so.

A person walked up to him. This was King Rui's personal bodyguard. He was not skilled in martial arts, but his sense of smell was extremely sensitive. King Rui used him as a "dog" to track him down. He subconsciously thought that he had been discovered by this person. Immediately reached for his token to prove that he was no assassin.

But before he took out the token, the person in front of him smiled at him, "Master Gu, don't misunderstand, the prince found out that you came early in the morning, but it is not convenient for the guests to know your relationship, so let the subordinate take you to the next yard Rest for a while, and the prince will come to see you after seeing the guests."

"Did you find out I'm here early in the morning?" Gu Qingxu teased him. This man had been with King Rui for a long time. Gu Qingxu didn't doubt him, and said, "Lead the way." Then he followed him to where he was. Said yard.

"My lord, wait here for a while." The man said and brought pastries and tea himself.

Gu Qing Xu nodded to him, "You tell the prince, I'm very free here, he can take his time."

The man responded and went out.

Gu Qingxu began to think about how to tell King Rui about the Hierarch later in the room. He told him directly and honestly that the Hierarch was seriously injured and is currently in retreat. It is better to be more tactful and reveal a few inconspicuous information. In the case of King Rui, make sure that he has nothing to do with the injury of the leader, and then tell him that the injury of the leader has nothing to do with it?

However, King Rui and him are too familiar with each other, it is really not easy to trick him, why don't you tell him that the poisonous she-wolf is fake, see his reaction, and then tell him about the leader?

Gu Qingxu thought about it, picked up the tea on the table unconsciously, took a sip, and continued to think.

After a stick of incense.

The "dog" who had just been led into the yard did not go back to look for the prince, but went back to the small courtyard, stood outside the window for a while, and after making sure that there was no movement in the room, he slowly opened the door. It was Gu Qingxu who was bleeding from his seven orifices and fell into a pool of blood.

Get closer, and the people in the pool of blood have long since lost their breath.

About a month later, Bailigui, one of the four protectors of the Qingming Sect who had received news from Gu Qingxu that he was going to return to the teaching more than half a month ago, finally couldn't sit still after waiting for so long and still not seeing Gu Qingxu come back. I found the leader of the Qingming sect who hadn't left the seclusion, and told him the news he had inquired about while standing in his retreat.

He said: "The last person in our church who saw Qing Xu was one of Qing Xu's subordinates, and that subordinate also told the truth when he saw me. He saw that the relationship between Qing Xu and the prince was getting more and more tense. I hope that Qing Xu can go to talk to the prince, at least tell the prince about your retreat. I think it is unreasonable for Qing Xu to blindly speculate that our injury is related to the prince. This subordinate’s suggestion is also correct, but that subordinate that day After making the suggestion, Qing Xu left their residence, and no one around him knew where he went or who he was looking for."

This is very similar to the situation when Lin Lan disappeared. It was also Lin Lan who received an invitation that day and never returned.

But Lin Lan was used to being capricious and reckless. She caused a lot of trouble outside and asked them to clean it up. She never told them her whereabouts. It was common for her to disappear for a few months without saying a word.

Gu Qingxu is the most well-behaved person in Qingming Sect. From the title "Master Jade Face" given to him by the Jianghu people, it can be seen that he not only follows the rules most of the time, but also writes to them to report his whereabouts wherever he goes. Tell them he'll be back, but it's not normal not to see anyone for so long.

Bailigui couldn't help but worry.

He babbled a lot at the teacher's door, and he didn't know if the other party could hear him. He just wanted to find someone to confide in at the moment, and there were fewer and fewer people in the church who could resist.

After speaking, he left on his own.

It just so happened that the fourth batch of people he sent out to check on Gu Qingxu's whereabouts came back, and not only did they come back, they also brought back a table.

Bailigui asked, "What does that mean?"

The man said: "Please protect the law to look at this."

As he said that, he turned the table over, and Bailigui saw a word on the table at a glance, but the person who left the word didn't know whether it was because he didn't have tools at the time, or he was in a very inconvenient situation, so the handwriting was very scribbled , he walked closer and looked at it for a long time before he realized that it was a word for "Qian".

Immediately, Bailigui took a step back subconsciously.

King Rui used a name a long time ago, but later on his mother and concubine became favored, the emperor felt that his previous name did not have a good meaning, so he changed it.

Before that, his name was Wen Qian.

But because he was not favored, no one would care about the name of an unfavored prince. Later, he was valued by the emperor and his name was changed, so very few people knew that he had a previous name.

Bailigui was almost certain that the word "Qian" was carved by Gu Qingxu.

But why did he carve such a word under a table?

He looked at the person who brought the table.

The man said to him: "Guardian, this is the table we found from the residence where King Rui once lived. You said before that after Gu Hufa finally left, it is very likely that he went to find the prince, so everyone checked it first. The direction is also to find the people who traveled with the prince that day, and ask them if they have seen Gu Hufa, but no matter who they ask, they are sure that Gu Hufa has never returned since he left the prince's residence last time, so we had to check again. The place where the protector lived was nearby, but because protector Gu would occasionally modify it when traveling, and the protector was good at it, the clues we could find were limited. In the end, we could only find it back to King Rui, so we simply rented it at a cost of money. The inn where King Rui lived at that time searched inch by inch, and finally found this table, and found a bit of poison on the scratches under the table, which is the ghost cry commonly used by Gu Hufa."

Like Lin Lan, Gu Qingxu likes to get poison on his nails.

If they were just curious when they saw this word, why someone carved such a scrawled word under the table, after finding someone to confirm that the poison on it belongs to Gu Qingxu, they are almost sure that the word should be related to Gu Qingxu, so Bring the table back.

"That's right." As he spoke, the man slightly raised his eyes to look at Bailigui in front of him, and said, "We asked the owner of the house afterwards, if any strange things happened when the house was rented out, or anyone who came to rent the house When the people who brought them left, was there anyone who was sick and could not walk or needed help? The owner thought for a long time before telling us that there were no sick people, but the renters might be vegetarians, and they took almost everything with them when they left Only the meat he sent over..." The man paused, "It looks like it hasn't been touched, it's piled up in the kitchen, it smelled when he went there, the subordinates suspect..."

Before the man finished speaking, Baili Gui kicked the man who was half squatting on the ground, "Shut up!"

"If you are incompetent and can't find out anything, then tell me the truth that you can't find out, what nonsense, even if Qing Xu seldom uses force, you don't know his kung fu, but you should have a deep understanding of his poison, what? People have the ability to poison him?"

The man had no choice but to bow his head and respond, "Yes, maybe the subordinate checked the wrong direction, and the subordinate will send someone to check again."

Bailigui looked a little better now, and drove him away as if chasing someone away.Seeing this, the people next to him didn't dare to stay any longer, and they left one after another, and soon he was the only one left in the spacious room.

Bailigui stayed there alone, standing at first, then he simply lifted the table, sat down beside the table, carefully looked at the word "Qian" under the table, a memory so far away that he almost forgot Here, Gu Qingxu, who has always been careful, would eat what others gave him unsuspectingly.

It was not long after they left the palace. He and Gu Qingxu returned to the palace in person after finishing a matter for King Rui. As he spoke, he picked up a snack and ate it without hesitation.

At that time, Bailigui was very surprised and even teased him, so he was so casual, could it be that he deliberately pretended to be cautious in order to deceive outsiders?

Gu Qingxu said, "Ah Qian will not harm us."

That's right... At that time, Gu Qingxu was still called King Rui Aqian. At that time, among the few of them, Gu Qingxu was the one who worked hard for King Rui.

"Aqian..." Baili Gui gently brushed the word under the table with his hand, and couldn't help laughing.

"Qing Xu, is this still the Aqian who is worth everything we give?"
