Brilliant thorn

Tang Jun was captured alive?

For a moment Xiao Jue didn't know whether this matter was good or bad.

If Tang Jun can really be shown to the public at the Hero Conference, maybe his identity can be kept secret for a while longer; but before that, if those martial arts justice torture Tang Jun, it is not guaranteed that Tang Jun will confide in self-protection. something.

But looking at Shi Yi's reaction, it seemed that he didn't know that he was the killer with different pupils from Taxian Pavilion, which showed that Tang Yun's mouth was still tightly shut at this stage.

"Xiao Jue?" Fu Shaoyu waved his hand in front of his eyes, bringing him back to his senses, "What are you thinking? Whether to go or not to this hero conference, I'll listen to you."

"Go." Xiao Jue said succinctly, folded the invitation card and put it in his arms.

If he didn't go, but he couldn't find a sufficient reason, it would only arouse suspicion, so he had to go.

It's best to wait for the opportunity to find Tang Yun and kill him earlier to avoid future troubles.

"It shouldn't be too late. It will take three to five days to go back to Jinping. If you go earlier, you can help Uncle Shen." Shi Yi said.

"Alright."

Fu Shaoyu got on his horse, tightened the reins, turned around, and rushed to Jinping with Shi Yi.

Taking a break to feed the horses, taking advantage of Shi Yi's absence, he said to Xiao Jue: "The incident happened suddenly, and the matter of taking you back can only be postponed for the time being."

Xiao Jue shook his head and said it was okay, he also didn't want to look back on the past with Fu Shaoyu with a nervous heart, he hoped to solve the immediate troubles first.

"Brother Yu thinks that what the call post says is true or not?"

"Huh? Do you mean Tang Yun was arrested or something else?"

"Naturally, it's the crusade against Taxian Pavilion." Xiao Jue said, "Just for one Yan Xinghan, he would use the power of the Central Plains martial arts to take down an assassin organization. Does Yan Wuji really have such appeal?"

Stepping on the Immortal Pavilion to collect money to do things, to dissociate between good and evil, the righteous way of the martial arts despises this, but it is not easy to interfere. balance?

Fu Shaoyu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Yan Xinghan's death is just an excuse. As for who can't wait to destroy the Immortal Pavilion, and why, it's not something you and I can easily guess."

Xiao Jue suddenly thought of the rainy night when he beheaded Cui Yushu, who helped him throw two stones behind his back, and secretly stole Cui Yushu's body. Could it be related to Tang Yun's arrest?

It seems unlikely.

That person wanted Cui Yushu to die, and he didn't want others to know about it. He probably had a personal grievance with Cui Yushu, and he didn't have much hostility towards Taxiange.

Who would it be?

"Don't think too much, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge," Fu Shaoyu rubbed his forehead hair, and reminded: "When we arrive in Jinping, there will be mixed fish and dragons, so be careful in everything."

Xiao Jue nodded, seeing Shi Yi walking towards this side with things in his hands, he calmed down and stopped talking.

"Brother Fu, Mr. Xiao, eat something."

Shi Yi handed over a few brown sugar steamed buns, carefully wrapping them in a towel.He leaned under the tree to finish his share of peace, wiped his mouth clean, and then asked: "Brother Fu is in Saibei these days, have you found out the whereabouts of my father?"

Xiao Jue stopped chewing, staring at his toes without moving.

I only heard Fu Shaoyu say: "To be honest, I met Senior Shi a few days ago."

"Where is it?" Shi Yi was a little excited, he had lost contact with his father for more than a month, and he was very worried.

"Peidu," Fu Shaoyu said without changing his expression, "it's just that senior Shi failed to come as scheduled the next day. I went to the inn to inquire, and said that senior left at night, and it seemed that there was something urgent. There will be no more in the past few days." news."

Xiao Jue swallowed the steamed bun choked in his throat with difficulty, not knowing whether what Fu Shaoyu said was true or not.

When Jueying came out to look for him that night, he only met him fighting with the sisters, but he didn't know about Shi Zhengping's assassination.Fu Shaoyu didn't know about this matter, so it was reasonable.

But did he really go to the inn to inquire the next day?

If he really went, how could he hide the blood stains all over the room?

Did Shi Zhengping die, or was he rescued by someone?

Xiao Jue was full of doubts, but he couldn't find out. He thought to himself that his life was too leisurely these days, which caused his vigilance and murder skills to drop off a cliff. He couldn't make up for Shi Zhengping, which always left a hidden danger.

Now going to the Heroes Conference, he can no longer take it lightly.

"Forget it, father always does things in his own way, and he will come back when he finishes his work, as long as he is safe and sound."

Shi Yi sighed and didn't continue to ask.

Fu Shaoyu thought for a while, and asked: "Senior Shi traced the identities of the two foreign women on his own. Why did senior reveal something to A Yi?"

Shi Yi pursed his lips, fiddled with a weed at his feet, and said, "Brother Fu, do you still remember that day when someone suspected that the person behind them was Ling's orphan?"

Fu Shaoyu nodded, Shi Zhengping was the only one among the people in the study to refute, saying that the descendants of the Ling family were only a full moon back then, so it was impossible for them to escape.

To put it bluntly, I was very excited.

"After we went back to our rooms that night, I wanted to discuss the possibility of this matter with my father in detail," Shi Yi firmly believed that Ling's orphan was still alive, "but his attitude..." He paused for a while, thinking about it Wording, only to say: "very strange."

"strangeness?"

"I can't tell you what it feels like, but I have never seen him like that in more than 20 years." Shi Yi showed a bit of distress, "He kept emphasizing that the Ling family was completely wiped out, and kept asking me about the time I was in Ling. Everything I saw and heard about the old house made me recall in detail everyone I met... In short, it is very contradictory."

Logically speaking, no matter how outrageous an old case is, it will not be so exciting when it is brought up again many years later.

Unless... is the party involved.

A terrible conjecture gradually surfaced in his mind, Shi Yi became more and more panicked as he thought about it, he didn't notice that Fu Shaoyu's eyes were terribly cold at the moment.

Xiao Jue put the remaining half of the brown sugar steamed bun into Fu Shaoyu's palm, and the moment he raised his eyelashes, those deep eyes changed their appearance, gentle and tender, with a hint of a smile on them.

"Don't eat?"

"Too sweet."

Fu Shaoyu took the water bag pinned to his back, unplugged it, and handed it to his mouth: "Drink some."

Xiao Jue raised his head and took two sips of water with his hands, some of which flowed down the corner of his mouth into his fair and slender neck. Shi Yi glanced at his rolling Adam's apple, and then hurriedly turned his eyes away.

Are these two people a little too close?But their expressions were very natural, Shi Yi felt that he was dirty, how could he think that way about Brother Fu and Young Master Xiao?

They rushed all the way without any delay, and arrived in Jinping City on the seventh day of the seventh month.

At that time, many people from the rivers and lakes who had received invitations gathered in the city, the inns were overcrowded, and Qingshiban Street was full of majestic and proud knights.

It was midsummer, and the small town was busier than usual.

"Why did you choose this place?" Xiao didn't understand.

This place is not as spacious as Pingchuan Mansion, and it is not as rich as Shangye City. It is just an ordinary town. Why did you choose to hold the hero meeting here?

Shi Yi smiled: "My lord will know later."

He led the horse to lead the way, and occasionally met one or two familiar rangers, exchanged simple greetings, walked through the bustling streets, turned around the corner, and finally led the two to a large-scale manor with a golden plaque on the door. "Wuhou Mansion" three characters.

Fu Shaoyu instantly understood: "This is Mrs. Nie's natal family's old house, and it is also Shi Yi's grandfather's house."

Xiao Jue was slightly surprised. He only knew that Yan Wuji's first wife, Nie Xian, came from a family of martial arts, and that Yan Wuji's ability to play the flute and the piano was learned from Nie Xian's grandfather. Prime Minister.

No wonder Yan Wuji kicked him and his mother out without hesitation.

How can a worthless commoner woman compare to a powerful daughter with a prominent family background?No matter how beautiful the face is, it is just a vase.

A vase does not bring him power and wealth.

"It is said that this is a mansion bestowed by the emperor of the Kai Dynasty. There is a dungeon inside. The general who was a prisoner of war from the enemy country was imprisoned." Shi Yi tied up the horse and took the two of them into the mansion. It’s been empty all the time, I didn’t expect the dungeon in Tianfu to come in handy.”

Fu Shaoyu asked: "Is Tang Jun imprisoned here?"

Shi Yi nodded: "Would you like to take a look?"

Fu Shaoyu glanced at Xiao Jue before saying, "Then please lead the way."

This manor is very large, and its design style is different from the graceful and green gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. It is more like a wide courtyard in the north. Shi Yi said: "When my grandfather was still alive, he always practiced swords and played the sheng here. He thought he planted too many trees. It will affect his performance of kung fu, so the yard is always bare."

But anyway, there are still some bonsai decorations, so naturally it can't lose the style and demeanor of a wealthy family.

In the southeast corner of the garden is an almost abandoned rockery. There is a stone gate behind the rockery. There are two guards in front of the gate. When they see Shi Yi bringing someone over, they bow their hands and salute: "Master."

Shi Yi said to them: "This is Fu Shaoxia and Xiao Gongzi, they are distinguished guests of the house, if they come, don't stop them."

The guard obeyed, opened the stone gate, and stepped aside.

A gust of wet and cold wind swirled out from behind the door, and the tip of the nose was filled with a strong damp smell, which was very uncomfortable.

"The dungeon has been deserted for decades, and the air is not circulating. Please bear with it for now."

Shi Yi led the way, walked down the narrow and steep steps, and walked through a low alleyway with his back arched. Suddenly, there was a bonfire lit on the walls on both sides, emitting a weak and unstable light, and the dampness was still obvious. , and it will be a bit suffocating if you stay for a long time.

Xiao Jue thought to himself, with Tang Jun's pampered temperament, let alone staying here for ten and a half months, he might be crying and scolding his mother if he stays for half a day.

Sure enough, he probably heard footsteps, and soon Tang Yun's scolding came from the depths of the dungeon.

The voice is loud and the momentum is high. It seems that after being captured alive, he did not suffer any inhuman treatment.

Xiao Jue was worried that he would be irritated and say nothing when he saw him, so he didn't go any further: "I'm not feeling well, let's go out first and take it easy."

Shi Yi asked with some concern: "What's wrong, young master?"

Xiao Jue shook his head and didn't answer. He just walked back along the way he came. However, he walked very slowly, carefully looking at the layout of the dungeon, so as not to miss any traps.

"It's okay, let him go." Fu Shaoyu said to Shi Yi, "Let's hurry up, it's really boring here."

"Okay." Shi Yi led him to turn a small turn, passed a torture room, and heard Tang Yun humming a little song scolding his ancestors for eighteen generations, he couldn't help frowning: "Please be careful with your words, Tang Sect Master. Wouldn't it be nice to save some energy?"

"No, okay," Tang Yun paused every word, raising his brows with a half-smile, "Your grandpa and I are full of anger now, my dear grandson, come quickly and let grandpa scold you comfortably."

Shi Yi has always been gentle and humble in his dealings with others, never swearing, and hearing Tang Yun uttering wild words here, his face was flushed with anger, but he was unwilling to risk his upbringing and curse back.

But he didn't know that the more he was like this, the more energetic Tang Yun became.

Tang Yun was half lying and half sitting against the wet and cold corner, her legs crossed, her peach blossom eyes squinted, and she shook her head at the person outside the iron railing: "Hey, I brought another good grandson today? Who is it? Let's go." Come and show grandpa a little closer."

Fu Shaoyu took a step forward expressionlessly, and stood in the eyes of the unruly man.

Tang Yun felt that it was time for her to die.
