Princess's arrogant little head
Chapter 29
An Jiu saw that Lei Lei was drinking so fast, she was panting and her neck was thick, and she seemed to be a sweetheart, so she persuaded: "Miss Lei, you will get drunk if you drink like this."
"Drunk, why not drunk, this girl is not drunk for a thousand cups!" Lei Lei waved her hand, couldn't stand still, and fell directly on the boat.
Lei Lei blushed and narrowed her eyes slightly, she was clearly already seven or eight points drunk.
An Jiu admired Lei Lei a little bit, obviously she is also an infatuated person, but she is braver than herself, she dared to ignore the secular obstacles to propose marriage to Aoki's father, but what about herself?
She can give Tang Ruochu her life, but can she really afford what Tang Ruochu wants?
An Jiu reluctantly poured another glass for herself, raised her glass and said, "Miss Lei is really straightforward, I promise you, I will help you escort Miss Qingmu back to her father."
After finishing speaking, An Jiu raised his glass to drink, but Lei Lei suddenly snatched the glass away.
"If you want to drink, hold the jar like a man!" Lei Lei directly stuffed a jar of wine into An Jiu's hand.
Lei Lei was refreshing, and An Jiu was no longer restrained, and started drinking.
Seeing that An Jiu directly poured down a jar of wine, Lei Lei sized An Jiu up with admiring eyes and said, "An Xiaojiu, you are indeed a man. In fact, I saw it when I was in the back mountain. That look is really sincere, I also want to announce to the whole world that Aoki is my woman as freely as you, what a pity~"
If she said too much, it was because her thief father was not enlightened!
An Jiu's face was slightly smoky, and her hiccups were full of alcohol. She only squinted her eyes and smiled, "No, no, no, I'm not a man, but I'm also a woman."
Lei Lei was startled, glanced at An Jiu, and suddenly smiled again: "It turns out that you and I still feel sorry for each other, so we really have to do this!"
"Don't drink yet." An Jiu hastily stretched out her hand to block the mouth of the jar, and said, "I'm really drunk again, and I still have business to ask Miss Lei for advice!"
"You want to ask if I caught the disciple of Zhenwu?"
"No, what I want to ask is about the ax gang's massacre."
As soon as these words came out, Lei Lei's eyes changed, and the laughter just now dissipated.
However, the next moment, Lei Lei smiled and said, "What do you mean by that? Didn't people in Jianghu say that it was the Ax Gang who offended your Bafang sect and was exterminated?"
"I sent people to check those corpses carefully. They were killed twice. Although the wounds were crossed, they were one deep and one shallow. It looked like they were planted to frame you for exterminating the cross knives. But then I thought, what if someone did it on purpose?"
An Jiu suddenly changed to a serious expression, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet, only the sound of boats swaying on the water was left.
Lei Lei's eyes also turned cold, her face was still flushed with drunkenness, but she was extremely sober, even the drunken state just now dissipated.
Lei Lei still smiled and asked, "An Xiaojiu, what do you want to say?"
An Jiu was not in a hurry to answer her, but continued to pick up the empty glass on the table and pour wine, while saying, "I, An Xiaojiu, didn't understand the rules of the rivers and lakes when I first entered the rivers and lakes. People say that I, An Xiaojiu, are ruthless and do many evils, but in fact most of them are false accusations, I am too lazy to explain, but..."
When An Jiu said this, she took a cold look at Lei Lei's face, took a sip of wine, and continued, "But I'm not willing to take the blame for everything."
"You mean someone deliberately acted like the Qinglei faction after killing the Axe gang, and then framed you?" An Jiu deliberately slowed down her speech, Lei Lei, who was impatient, couldn't wait.
Now that Lei Lei has spoken bluntly, An Jiu stopped turning a corner and said, "I have sent someone to investigate, and you led a group of Qinglei sect disciples out a month before the Ax Gang wiped out the door, and you went The place was still the Ax Gang, but you were the only one to go back later.”
Leilei pointed at herself in surprise and asked, "You suspect it's me?"
"You have been to the scene."
Lei Lei was so angry that she patted the table and said: "I have indeed been there, and I also saw with my own eyes how the Ax Gang was wiped out, but it really wasn't me, Lei Lei, who dared to do it!"
An Jiu said, "But I don't believe you."
After hearing this, Lei Lei couldn't help laughing, and said, "An Xiaojiu, you're really a cunning one. You've been with Miss Tang all along, but you've been secretly investigating this matter. It turns out Miss Tang is just a cover-up."
"I'm not as despicable as you." An Jiu said, "I really want to accompany Ruochu, but I have to do something to protect myself and Ruochu."
Lei Lei helplessly explained: "It's really not my fault!"
"That day I really wanted to take my brothers to find the Ax Gang. I really wanted to kill Fang Yixing, but I didn't want to overhear a conversation between a man in black and the leader of the Ax Gang, Fang Tianhong."
"The man in black warned Fang Tianhong that you, An Xiaojiu, were someone they couldn't afford to offend. At that time, I became curious about you. I wanted to meet you, someone who couldn't afford to offend you."
"The man in black then left. I saw that Fang Tianhong refused to listen to the man in black's advice and wanted to seek revenge from you. I kindly offered to help you solve Fang Tianhong's biggest trouble. I had a fight with the ax gang."
"You also had a fight with Fang Tianhong?" An Jiu looked at Lei Lei curiously.
Fang Tianhong is the tenth ranked master in Jianghu, even Yan Wushan and Lu Qingya can hardly stop him, how good is this Lei Lei's martial arts?
"Yes." Lei Lei nodded and said, "But I lost."
An Jiu: "..."
"Do not laugh."
"I didn't laugh."
The expression on An Jiu's face twitched slightly, but she still couldn't help laughing out loud.
Lei Lei glared at An Jiu, and continued: "But I lost my martial arts but I didn't lose my momentum. At least I had a tie with Fang Tianhong, but we were fighting, and suddenly there was a burst of white smoke, and then I fainted." gone."
"Bai Yan?" An Jiu asked suspiciously, she felt that this matter was getting more and more interesting.
Lei Lei nodded, then stroked her chin and continued to recall: "I vaguely saw a handsome man when I was unconscious."
An Jiu leaned over her head and asked, "I still have spring/dreams in broad daylight, does Miss Aoki know?"
"I, Lei Lei, am not such a shameless person. I only have Xiao Qingmu in my heart." Lei Lei said speechlessly: "I was really not dreaming at the time, I was really a stunningly beautiful man, but later on I turned into a big ugly man .”
"Is that beautiful or ugly?"
"Beautiful, but also ugly." Lei Lei became more and more confused as she thought about it, and finally she just shook her head and said, "Maybe I was wrong, maybe there were two people. Anyway, when I woke up later, all the members of the Ax Gang were dead, and unexpectedly Or die by my knife."
An Jiu was puzzled and asked, "After talking for a long time, did you kill the person?"
"Of course not. How could I not know who I, Lei Lei, killed. I guess it must have been done by that beautiful man. It's really strange that he still understands the martial arts of my Qinglei sect, but it's a big deal. I was afraid that I couldn't hide it, so I added an extra knife to their body, and then made the wound look different, so that others would believe that it was not necessarily done by the Qinglei faction."
Hearing this, An Jiu sighed softly: "Then everyone suspected that I did it."
Lei Lei laughed and said, "Who made you just offend the Ax Gang!"
Lei Lei continued: "However, it's strange to say that I haven't been able to find out how the members of the Ax Gang died. No matter how you look at it, it's my Qinglei sect's sword technique."
"Later I heard that there was a massacre like this in Qingtong Town, and those townspeople were all killed with a knife, so I went to investigate, but I didn't expect to see you taking the blame for Miss Tang, and I have nothing to do with you taking the blame this time. "
An Jiu said thoughtfully: "It's really strange that the people in Qingtong Town were not the ones who did what Ruochu did. Who did it?"
"The murderer's sword skills are extremely high, I'm afraid he is a master of swordsman." Lei Lei shook his head and sighed, "But I have visited all the families of swordsmen in the world, and I can't think of anyone who can use swords to the point of perfection."
"There is one person." An Jiu frowned.
"who?"
An Jiudao: "Overlord Sword, Zuo Mingtang."
Lei Lei asked in surprise: "Isn't it rumored that this person broke into the palace alone and died?"
"No, he was just imprisoned. What is he going to do now that he has come out of the rivers and lakes again and committed these tragedies?" An Jiu really couldn't figure it out.
It stands to reason that if Zuo Mingtang escaped, he should go back to the palace, but he chose to go back to the rivers and lakes, killing so many innocent people in one shot, it really doesn't look like him.
Unless someone instigated him behind the scenes, or there was a bigger conspiracy hidden in Zuo Mingtang.
Lei Lei realized later: "No wonder I heard about the reappearance of Bawang Dao a few days ago, so I chased it out of curiosity, but unfortunately found nothing. Now that you said it like this, I think it's quite strange."
After listening, An Jiu finally figured out why she met Zuo Mingtang on the road, and also understood why Lei Lei appeared in Zhenwu Mountain.
"So, do you suspect that Zuo Mingtang was responsible for those missing Zhenwu disciples?" An Jiu guessed that Lei Lei was also investigating the disappearance of Zhenwu disciples.
When An Jiu heard Lei Lei's words, she realized that she had come all the way to track down the murderer, and finally locked the murderer in Zhenwu Mountain. However, Lei Lei didn't know the identity of the murderer, so she had to hide her identity and investigate secretly.
Coincidentally, Lei Lei placed Aoki in the deserted back mountain, and set up a trap to prevent others from hurting Aoki, but he didn't want to be misunderstood by those true martial arts disciples that these disciples were killed by the back mountain banshee.
An Jiu thought about it and said, "Ax Gang, Qingtong Town, Zhenwumen, what exactly do Zuo Mingtang want to slaughter so many people?"
Maybe there is one more person who knows the truth, and that is Zhang Yuan.
These things seem to have nothing to do with his messenger, but they are connected with him everywhere. It seems that she has to ask this "brother-in-law" to come forward again.
No matter what it is, Zuo Mingtang's current route is to go straight to Qingtong Town, so there is only one purpose left.
An Jiu frowned and said, "No, Zuo Mingtang's goal is now the martial arts conference."
Lei Lei said: "If he appears in the martial arts conference, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the world."
An Jiu clasped her hands and saluted Lei Lei and asked, "I misunderstood the girl before, so I apologize to the girl here."
Lei Lei waved her hand and said: "Forget it, speaking of it, I can't explain the ax to help destroy the family. Now that you have taken the blame, how can I have the nerve to blame you again?"
"Dare to ask, is there any way to stop Zuo Mingtang from killing innocent people again?"
Lei Lei thought deeply, shook her head and said: "No one can stop the Bawang Dao, but if Zuo Mingtang committed a serious crime and dared to break into the martial arts conference, you and I can expose his crimes at the martial arts conference. , Many heroes join forces, I am not afraid that Zuo Mingtang will not be subdued."
"But I, An Xiaojiu, are now the devil in the eyes of the people in the Jianghu. I'm afraid I was wiped out before I even opened my mouth to explain."
What An Jiu said was not unreasonable. After thinking about it, Lei Lei said, "Perhaps you can use the golden cicada to escape the shell like me."
"This plan is amazing!" An Jiu and Lei Lei looked at each other and smiled.
"Come on, let me have another drink."
When An Jiu picked up the cup and was about to toast Lei Lei again, she was pushed back by Lei Lei, "I don't want to drink anymore. I still lack some evidence. I have to go there myself. See you and me at the martial arts conference."
Lei Lei cupped her fists to bid farewell, and An Jiu saluted back.
When Lei Lei was getting up to leave, her eyes moved suddenly, she turned back, and stuffed a bottle into An Jiu's hand.
"This is...a gift?" An Jiu took the bottle and looked it over carefully. The young lady of the Qinglei School is really generous, and she even gave a gift?
Lei Lei shook her head, covered it with her hands, and whispered in An Jiu's ear, "This is Hehuan San."
An Jiu was taken aback, slipped his hand, and almost broke the bottle.
Fortunately, Lei Lei had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly took the bottle, "It's very expensive. I saw that you and I are kindred spirits, so I kindly gave you a bottle. You almost dropped me."
An Jiuyi said righteously, "Why did you give me such a despicable thing?"
"Of course you can do whatever you want!" Lei Lei squinted and said with a smile: "Which of the things you did to Miss Tang in the back mountain was not despicable? You dare to say that Miss Tang is your woman, Still afraid of this thing?"
"Nonsense! I, An Xiaojiu, am not such a mean and shameless..." An Jiu subconsciously reached out and picked up the bottle and stuffed it into his sleeve, "Your man."
"Cough, cough, understand." Lei Lei smiled, clasped her hands again and said, "Please take good care of my little Qingmu."
After An Jiu gave her a "reassuring" look, Lei Lei turned and left.
An Jiu also went back, but along the way, she was just uneasy, as if she had done something bad, and felt uncomfortable.
"Xiao Jiu, Miss Lei is gone?"
At some point, Tang Ruochu suddenly appeared in front of An Jiu, frightened An Jiu quickly touched his sleeve, and after confirming that he had hidden the things, he nodded quickly and said, "Well, she, she still has something to do."
"It seems that Xiaojiu has already negotiated with Miss Lei."
Tang Ruochu's face was a little calm, and he didn't ask about Lei Lei's affairs at all, but An Jiu asked curiously: "Why don't you ask me what I talked about with Lei Lei, that ruthless person?"
Tang Ruochu said: "I was worried and followed me just now. I saw the two of you talking happily from a distance. This Miss Lei should be a good person, otherwise Xiao Jiu wouldn't get close to her."
"When did you come here? Did you hear what she said? Did you see what Lei Lei gave me?" As soon as An Jiu heard Tang Ruochu's words, she immediately pulled Tang Ruochu's hand excitedly and asked.
Tang Ruochu looked at An Jiu suspiciously, and said, "I've been on the shore all this time, but I didn't hear what you were talking about, I just saw that Miss Lei gave you a bottle, is it this?"
Tang Ruochu suddenly reached out and took out the bottle from An Jiu's sleeve.
An Jiu hurriedly snatched it back, and said with a disguised smile: "This, this is a gadget she gave me, medicine for strengthening the body, you, don't think too much about it."
"Why should I think so much?" Tang Ruochu looked at An Jiu puzzled, feeling that she was weird.
An Jiu shook her head, and quickly hid the bottle behind her back with her hands behind her back, holding on to the bottle, "Ruochu, tonight...I...I want to invite you together... Eat, okay?"
"Okay." Tang Ruochu smiled slightly.
When she smiled, An Jiu was delighted.
......
An Jiu went back to Zhenwu Sect nervously. After tonight, they had to leave for Qingtong Town, otherwise they would not be able to attend the martial arts conference in time.
An Jiu went back to the room in dismay, holding the small bottle tightly in his hand, his brows raised in confusion.
Tang Ruochu actually agreed to go to the appointment tonight, but she didn't have the guts to do it.
If she was drugged, wouldn't she be as despicable as Zhang Yuan?
But what Lei Lei said was true, she was already with Tang Ruochu, and it seemed that there would be no problem with the relationship being closer.
"Master, you are back."
While An Jiu was thinking about it, Yu Zimo walked in, holding a pot of hot tea for An Jiu.
An Jiu stared at Yu Zimo for a long time, staring at Yu Zimo a little uncomfortable, Yu Zimo couldn't hold back his words, so he asked, "Sect Leader, what orders do you have?"
"No, ahem, I just find it strange that you didn't ask me where I went? How is the investigation of Qingya's affairs going?" An Jiu deliberately changed the subject, but she never felt timid in her heart.
Yu Zimo said: "Hey, Miss Lu is staying in the room well, why don't you know she's back?"
An Jiu asked in surprise, "Qingya is back?"
"Blame me, Miss Lei just asked you out today, Miss Lu came back, I haven't had time to tell the master, blame my memory!" Yu Zimo slapped himself on the forehead.
After hearing this, An Jiu hurriedly stood up and went to see Lu Qingya.
Yuzimo led the way and led An Jiu to Lu Qingya's room.
It's just that An Jiu ran into Song Shiyu just after stepping into the room, An Jiu was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered about Song Shiyu, and suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart.
When Lu Qingya saw An Jiu, she quickly saluted with her sword in her arms, and said, "My lord, Qingya got separated from you, and almost got you injured. You deserve death."
An Jiu just waved her hand to signal Yu Zimo to watch out the door, and waited until Yu Zimo closed the door before saying, "Qing Ya, where have you been?"
Lu Qingya said: "Qingya found a few corpses in the back mountain forest, they were all missing Zhenwu disciples, originally wanted to come back and report to Young Master, but... ended up meeting the people from Aojian Villa, Qingya was fine. ...and hid."
The martial arts conference is coming soon, and the people of Aojian Villa will naturally not miss it, but An Jiu didn't expect that Lu Qingya is still afraid of the people of Aojian Villa.
"So it's because of that person." An Jiu said in a deep voice, "Qingya, since you're working with me, it's better not to be timid."
At this moment, Song Shiyu hurriedly persuaded: "Xiao Jiu don't blame her anymore, if you want to blame, just blame the word love is very harmful."
When Song Shiyu mentioned the word love, there was infinite sadness in her eyes, and she seemed to have a deep understanding.
An Jiu's brows frowned even deeper: Could it be that Shi Yu really loves Ruochu deep in his bones?
"What's wrong with those corpses?" An Jiu deliberately changed the subject.
Lu Qingya said, "They were all killed with one blow."
"A knife wound? Another knife wound?" An Jiu sighed.
"It must be Zuo Mingtang." Song Shiyu said excitedly: "Xiao Jiu, I found Zuo Mingtang's trace before and followed him all the way. Although I couldn't get close to him, I could feel his murderous aura was heavier and stronger. In the past, and what he held was the Bawangdao, the Bawangdao needs to be nourished with blood sacrifices to keep the treasured sword from growing old."
An Jiu thought about it and said: "But I always feel that it's not just as simple as raising the knife with blood. Zuo Mingtang didn't return home after he was released from the prison. Even if he needed a blood sacrificial knife, he should go to a crowded place, but he chose to go by water. It doesn't make sense to take a detour to the remote Zhenwu Mountain to kill people."
If these massacres were all done by Zuo Mingtang, then he should first go to Qingtong Town to massacre the people, then destroy the Axe Gang, and finally take the water to Zhenwu Mountain, kill a few Zhenwu disciples, and then return to Qingtong Town.
This is going in circles too much, if An Jiu was him, he would definitely stay in Qingtong Town, and wait until the martial arts conference starts, when people from all corners of the country gather, and then start killing.
But Zuo Mingtang seems to only have a grudge against her father, and after breaking out of the prison, he took revenge?
It would be more reasonable if someone ordered it.
Assuming that the person who instigated Zuo Mingtang was Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan belonged to the emperor's uncle, and the emperor's uncle wanted to intervene in Jianghu affairs, so Zuo Mingtang was helping them get rid of the disobedient sect, so it might as well be possible.
Among the Jianghu sects, Zhenwu is probably the most closely related to the court. If Zhenwu is close to the prince, then it is reasonable for Zhang Yuan to attack Zhenwu.
As for the Ax Gang, it is very likely that they really offended her, so the court people will naturally help her out.
So what about the massacre in Qingtong Town?
To frame Tang Ruochu?
Silence?
Or is there another picture?
An Jiu felt that Zhang Yuan had to find Zhang Yuan to explain all of this.
At this time, Song Shiyu seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and said quickly: "What if the True Martial Sect is Zuo Mingtang's foothold?"
Song Shiyu woke An Jiu up with a word, and An Jiu said: "You mean someone let Zuo Mingtang go on purpose, and this person has a place in Zhenwu. Zuo Mingtang returned to Zhenwu after killing people. Now their goal is The martial arts conference, so Zuo Mingtang set off for Qingtong Town again?"
Song Shiyu said: "My grandfather said that although he has ignored the government for many years, he also knows that there are many bad roots in the court these years, and he is afraid that someone with a heart will make a fuss."
"But Zuo Mingtang is a repeat offender of the imperial court, ordinary people can't let him go...Qing Ya, you go and tell Yan Wushan, let him spread the news of Bawang Dao's reappearance to all sects."
"Yes."
This matter is not difficult, Jianghu is the place where gossip gathers throughout the ages, and any scandal can spread throughout the Jianghu overnight, let alone such a sensational event as Bawangdao.
An Jiu thought about it, then walked to the table, picked up a pen and ink to write a letter, and then passed it to Lu Qingya, saying: "You send this letter, and it must be delivered before the martial arts conference starts."
"Yes!"
Lu Qingya took the letter and hurriedly got up and walked out.
Then only An Jiu and Song Shiyu were left in the room.
An Jiu simply said bluntly: "Shi Yu, there is actually one more thing I want to tell you clearly, it's about Ruochu."
An Jiu suddenly mentioned Tang Ruochu, and Song Shiyu immediately became nervous.
Song Shiyu said: "Xiao Jiu, there is no need to hide between you and my sisters. I admit that I am emotional this time, and I don't intend to let go. What do you think about this matter?"
An Jiu was taken aback, she didn't expect Song Shiyu to be so straightforward, but her frankness made her very disturbed.
Everyone respected her as a princess since she was a child and dared not have a heart-to-heart relationship with her. Song Shiyu was her first friend and her only bosom friend for so many years.
If it wasn't for Song Shiyu's enlightenment back then, perhaps An Jiu wouldn't be able to make it this far.
But now if they really fell in love with someone, An Jiu would be lying if he said it would be embarrassing.
"But she doesn't like you." An Jiu said: "I like Ruochu, and Ruochu and I are in love with each other, no one can stop us."
After listening, Song Shiyu suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Jiu, I really envy you for getting what you love. Maybe I'm destined to suffer the hurt of wishful thinking."
"We can compete fairly!"
What An Jiu said was the truth.
She and Song Shiyu's sisters are deeply in love, no matter what Song Shiyu wants from her, she can give her half of it, but only Tang Ruochu can't.
Tang Ruochu is a piece of An Jiu's heart, no one can share it.
In this life, An Jiu wants to monopolize Tang Ruochu's people and heart, as long as it is everything from Tang Ruochu, she wants it all.
"Huh?" Song Shiyu looked at An Jiu suspiciously, and asked in confusion, "How can we compete?"
An Jiudao: "Although Ruochu likes me, I don't want to hurt the sisterhood between us. We can compete fairly. If you can make Ruochu fall in love with you, I can give up."
If Tang Ruochu likes someone else, An Jiu will let go no matter how painful it is, as long as Tang Ruochu is happy.
Hearing this, Song Shiyu finally understood what An Jiu meant, couldn't help laughing, and explained: "So Xiao Jiu, you think the person I like is Miss Tang?"
"Isn't it?" An Jiu's eyes lit up, it would be better if she misunderstood this matter.
Song Shiyu said: "Of course not, since Miss Tang is your heart and soul, how would I dare to provoke her?"
"Isn't the person you like Ruochu?" An Jiu asked with joy in her heart, but after thinking about it, she became confused again, "If you don't like Ruochu, then who is your sweetheart?" ?”
Song Shiyu bowed her head shyly, and replied with a smile: "Yes, it's Brother Fang."
"Fang Yixing?" An Jiu looked in disbelief.
It wasn't until An Jiu saw Song Shiyu nodding that she really believed that flowers would really be stuck in cow dung.
An Jiu casually picked up a book on the table and threw it at Song Shiyu's head, "Are you stupid? With a handsome, unrestrained and outstanding person like me hanging around you, how can you still blindly look at the kind of man like Yixing above?" people?"
"I won't let you talk about him like that!" Song Shiyu said angrily, "Xiao Jiu, you don't understand Big Brother Fang at all. When I first came to the rivers and lakes, I met a few hooligans, and they were all saved by Big Brother Fang."
"Then you made a promise with your body?" An Jiu really didn't understand, Song Shiyu had been her sister for many years anyway, how could she even believe such a vulgar joke plot?
However, when Song Shiyu happily told An Jiu how Fang Yixing saved her, and then the Jianghu was too small, and they met again, An Jiu concluded a truth: Song Shiyu was kicked in the head by a donkey.
Song Shiyu is so stupid to believe in the plot of the hero saving the beauty, probably no donkey in the world dares to admit that he kicked people so stupidly.
"Xiao Jiu, you are not allowed to slander Big Brother Fang any more. Big Brother Fang is really a good person, but it is a pity that he fell in love with the wrong person. He fell in love with Miss Tang, but Miss Tang misses you so much. I'm jealous of you, and I'm against you."
"Song Shiyu!"
An Jiu couldn't help cursing, "Can you be smarter? Fang Yixing is not a good match at all. If you really meet a hero, I can bear it, but you chose such a bad guy. "
"An Jiu!" Song Shiyu said angrily, "If you say that about my Brother Fang again, I will be very upset!"
"Okay, okay, you're in a daze now, I'll wake you up when you calm down!"
An Jiu knew Song Shiyu's temper too well, if she was advised directly, she would not listen at all, and it would be better to wake her up after she saw through Fang Yixing in the future.
However, although An Jiu was relieved knowing that the person Song Shiyu liked was not Tang Ruochu, she was even more unwilling to see Song Shiyu foolishly being ruined by Fang Yixing.
It seems that she has to find a chance to let Song Shiyu see that Fang Yixing is not a good match.
An Jiu was most happy to suppress Fang Yixing.
An Jiu chatted with Song Shiyu for a while and then went back to the room. After all, she still had important things to do tonight.
An Jiu ordered Yan Wushan and the others to prepare for the banquet tonight, to give Tang Ruochu a different and good memory, but...
Holding the bottle that Lei Lei gave her, An Jiu was in trouble again: Does she really want to do this?
As soon as Yu Zimo entered the room, he saw An Jiu fidgeting. An Jiu crossed Erlang's legs and frowned. Have you been so worried?"
"Yuzimo, how many years have you been a flower picker?" An Jiu asked suddenly.
When Yuzimo heard this, he knelt down in fright, and said sincerely: "Master, since I, Yuzimo, have entered Bafangmen and followed you, I have never done anything harmful to nature. I haven’t even killed the chickens, and I have to take a detour when I see ants on the side of the road!”
An Jiu raised his forehead, and interrupted Yu Zimo sharply, "Stop talking nonsense!"
"Two years!"
An Jiu frowned in doubt: "Only two years?"
Yu Zimo poked his finger aggrievedly, and said: "Sect Leader, although he has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, but he is still young, and he was accepted by the Sect Leader after his first taste of romance."
An Jiu hooked his hands, and Yu Zimo immediately listened to him, An Jiu whispered, "Do you have that?"
"Which one?"
"Ahem, do you have that kind of book for me to take a look at?"
It's a little embarrassing to say, but An Jiu didn't want Tang Ruochu to dislike her ignorance of these things. If she made a mistake tonight, wouldn't she be ashamed?
Caviar: "..."
Yu Zimo's eyes widened in surprise. He knew that An Jiu was flirtatious, but he didn't expect that An Jiu would be open about such things.
"I have a lot of them, pictures of beauties in the Jianghu, erotic pictures, gossip records of various sects in the Jianghu, etc., I don't know which one the head likes?" Yu Zimo squinted his eyes, laughed, and poked his finger in front of An Jiu. Stamped, gestured and said: "The price in Jianghu is uniform, ten coins for a copy, no one is cheating, since it is the head of the house, then the internal price is two coins."
This caviar even started doing business with her!
An Jiu picked up the tea and drank it calmly, and said, "I want the best!"
After hearing this, Yuzimo said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to have such a strong taste, Sect Leader, so I can only take out all the treasures that have been treasured for many years."
Saying that, Yu Zimo actually unbuttoned his belt, An Jiu covered his face speechlessly, after a while, Yu Zimo took out a few crumpled books from his pocket, and the covers were new.
This kid actually carries these things with him?
Yu Zimo gestured with two fingers, narrowed his eyes and said, "One price, twenty Wen!"
An Jiu's eyes turned cold, and she took out an ingot of gold and smashed it on the table, "I'll give you one gold, put it down and get out!"
"okay!"
Yuzimo reached out and took the gold, carefully put it into the bag, and walked out sneakily.
"Cough cough."
An Jiu tapped her fingers on the table, her eyes drifted to the few books on the table from time to time, wanting to read but holding back.
"I'm An Jiu, what am I afraid of?" An Jiu muttered, picking up the book generously and opening it.
......
On the banks of the Qingliu River, a painted boat appeared out of nowhere by the lake, the moonlight was dim, and the lanterns spread their petals, illuminating a small world.
On the shore, Tang Ruochu came to the appointment in a red dress, An Jiu saw her figure from a distance, and hurriedly got off the boat to greet her.
"If you are here at the beginning."
"Ah."
"Xiao Jiu, didn't you say that today is just a meal? Why did you get so many things?" Tang Ruochu looked at the beautiful scenery around him and knew that it was An Jiu's careful arrangement.
"How do you like it?"
Tang Ruochu walked to the boat, stretched out his hand to play with the lantern, and said with a smile, "I like it."
"As long as you like it."
An Jiu pulled Tang Ruochu to the boat and sat down. Tang Ruochu looked at the delicious food on the table, and there were quite a lot of tricks.
"Osmanthus cake?" Tang Ruochu saw one of the cakes at a glance, so she still remembered it.
Tang Ruochu was already a little hungry, but when she was about to reach out for the pastry, An Jiu hurriedly stopped her, took Tang Ruochu's outstretched hand, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Ruochu, that... How is Miss Aoki?"
Tang Ruochu said: "I have been with her all the time today, but Miss Aoki seems to be...well, not sad, everything is as usual, just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that she has been practicing poison in the room. She said that she will practice the most poison in the world to poison Miss Lei to death."
An Jiu: "..."
"Cough cough." An Jiu put her hand to her mouth and coughed a few times, and said: "That...it's good, at least she still has hope, as long as she still hates Lei Lei, she won't be too sad gone."
"Lei Lei? Xiao Jiu seems to know Miss Lei very well. She used to call her Miss Lei, but now she calls her by her full name?" Tang Ruochu frowned slightly, seemingly displeased.
An Jiu quickly explained: "Ruochu, don't misunderstand me, Lei Lei and I just hit it off with Miss Lei, so we are planning to ask each other, how could there be anything..."
An Jiu didn't know if she had explained clearly, for fear that Tang Ruochu would be angry.
Tang Ruochu narrowed his eyes and looked at An Jiu, and said: "But that day I clearly saw the two of you holding small hands while drinking on the boat, and you pushed me to let me go, very intimate."
"No, that's what she wanted to force me as a gift, which I didn't want."
"You just met for the first time, and she gave you something?"
"That's not a gift. In fact, it's not a gift. It's just an ordinary thing. There are many of them on the street! Lei Lei, bah, Miss Lei is stingy and stingy, why would she want to give me a gift?"
Seeing An Jiu's anxious look, Tang Ruochu couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I'm joking with you!"
"Okay! You can actually tease me now." Although An Jiu was angry, there was a smile on his face.
When Tang Ruochu smiled, her heart almost melted.
Tang Ruochu just smiled and said nothing, and when he reached out to take the sweet-scented osmanthus cake again, An Jiu quickly grabbed her hand again, and hurriedly said, "By the way, Ruochu, that kid Fang Yixing didn't bother you anymore, did he?"
"Xiao Jiu, I have nothing to do with Mr. Fang. Mr. Fang can be regarded as a gentleman. He didn't do anything to me, so don't bully him anymore."
"How could I bully him?" An Jiu muttered, murmuring in a low voice but did not dare to talk back to Tang Ruochu.
Seeing that Tang Ruochu wanted to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, An Jiu hurriedly stopped her, "Ruochu, that, you are so beautiful today."
Tang Ruochu suddenly looked up at An Jiu, "Xiao Jiu~"
"Ok?"
"I'm hungry."
"Ah."
An Jiu hastily let go of her hand, but her eyes were still on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Tang Ruochu's hand from time to time, and then watched Tang Ruochu eat it bite by bite.
An Jiu looked a little nervous like a child who had done something bad.
An Jiu suddenly asked, "Ruochu, did you catch the person who gave you the medicine last time?"
Tang Ruochu said: "I heard that it was Miss Song's servant girl who did it, but that person just wanted to make Miss Song and Young Master Fang complete. I won't pursue this matter anymore.
"Drunk, why not drunk, this girl is not drunk for a thousand cups!" Lei Lei waved her hand, couldn't stand still, and fell directly on the boat.
Lei Lei blushed and narrowed her eyes slightly, she was clearly already seven or eight points drunk.
An Jiu admired Lei Lei a little bit, obviously she is also an infatuated person, but she is braver than herself, she dared to ignore the secular obstacles to propose marriage to Aoki's father, but what about herself?
She can give Tang Ruochu her life, but can she really afford what Tang Ruochu wants?
An Jiu reluctantly poured another glass for herself, raised her glass and said, "Miss Lei is really straightforward, I promise you, I will help you escort Miss Qingmu back to her father."
After finishing speaking, An Jiu raised his glass to drink, but Lei Lei suddenly snatched the glass away.
"If you want to drink, hold the jar like a man!" Lei Lei directly stuffed a jar of wine into An Jiu's hand.
Lei Lei was refreshing, and An Jiu was no longer restrained, and started drinking.
Seeing that An Jiu directly poured down a jar of wine, Lei Lei sized An Jiu up with admiring eyes and said, "An Xiaojiu, you are indeed a man. In fact, I saw it when I was in the back mountain. That look is really sincere, I also want to announce to the whole world that Aoki is my woman as freely as you, what a pity~"
If she said too much, it was because her thief father was not enlightened!
An Jiu's face was slightly smoky, and her hiccups were full of alcohol. She only squinted her eyes and smiled, "No, no, no, I'm not a man, but I'm also a woman."
Lei Lei was startled, glanced at An Jiu, and suddenly smiled again: "It turns out that you and I still feel sorry for each other, so we really have to do this!"
"Don't drink yet." An Jiu hastily stretched out her hand to block the mouth of the jar, and said, "I'm really drunk again, and I still have business to ask Miss Lei for advice!"
"You want to ask if I caught the disciple of Zhenwu?"
"No, what I want to ask is about the ax gang's massacre."
As soon as these words came out, Lei Lei's eyes changed, and the laughter just now dissipated.
However, the next moment, Lei Lei smiled and said, "What do you mean by that? Didn't people in Jianghu say that it was the Ax Gang who offended your Bafang sect and was exterminated?"
"I sent people to check those corpses carefully. They were killed twice. Although the wounds were crossed, they were one deep and one shallow. It looked like they were planted to frame you for exterminating the cross knives. But then I thought, what if someone did it on purpose?"
An Jiu suddenly changed to a serious expression, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet, only the sound of boats swaying on the water was left.
Lei Lei's eyes also turned cold, her face was still flushed with drunkenness, but she was extremely sober, even the drunken state just now dissipated.
Lei Lei still smiled and asked, "An Xiaojiu, what do you want to say?"
An Jiu was not in a hurry to answer her, but continued to pick up the empty glass on the table and pour wine, while saying, "I, An Xiaojiu, didn't understand the rules of the rivers and lakes when I first entered the rivers and lakes. People say that I, An Xiaojiu, are ruthless and do many evils, but in fact most of them are false accusations, I am too lazy to explain, but..."
When An Jiu said this, she took a cold look at Lei Lei's face, took a sip of wine, and continued, "But I'm not willing to take the blame for everything."
"You mean someone deliberately acted like the Qinglei faction after killing the Axe gang, and then framed you?" An Jiu deliberately slowed down her speech, Lei Lei, who was impatient, couldn't wait.
Now that Lei Lei has spoken bluntly, An Jiu stopped turning a corner and said, "I have sent someone to investigate, and you led a group of Qinglei sect disciples out a month before the Ax Gang wiped out the door, and you went The place was still the Ax Gang, but you were the only one to go back later.”
Leilei pointed at herself in surprise and asked, "You suspect it's me?"
"You have been to the scene."
Lei Lei was so angry that she patted the table and said: "I have indeed been there, and I also saw with my own eyes how the Ax Gang was wiped out, but it really wasn't me, Lei Lei, who dared to do it!"
An Jiu said, "But I don't believe you."
After hearing this, Lei Lei couldn't help laughing, and said, "An Xiaojiu, you're really a cunning one. You've been with Miss Tang all along, but you've been secretly investigating this matter. It turns out Miss Tang is just a cover-up."
"I'm not as despicable as you." An Jiu said, "I really want to accompany Ruochu, but I have to do something to protect myself and Ruochu."
Lei Lei helplessly explained: "It's really not my fault!"
"That day I really wanted to take my brothers to find the Ax Gang. I really wanted to kill Fang Yixing, but I didn't want to overhear a conversation between a man in black and the leader of the Ax Gang, Fang Tianhong."
"The man in black warned Fang Tianhong that you, An Xiaojiu, were someone they couldn't afford to offend. At that time, I became curious about you. I wanted to meet you, someone who couldn't afford to offend you."
"The man in black then left. I saw that Fang Tianhong refused to listen to the man in black's advice and wanted to seek revenge from you. I kindly offered to help you solve Fang Tianhong's biggest trouble. I had a fight with the ax gang."
"You also had a fight with Fang Tianhong?" An Jiu looked at Lei Lei curiously.
Fang Tianhong is the tenth ranked master in Jianghu, even Yan Wushan and Lu Qingya can hardly stop him, how good is this Lei Lei's martial arts?
"Yes." Lei Lei nodded and said, "But I lost."
An Jiu: "..."
"Do not laugh."
"I didn't laugh."
The expression on An Jiu's face twitched slightly, but she still couldn't help laughing out loud.
Lei Lei glared at An Jiu, and continued: "But I lost my martial arts but I didn't lose my momentum. At least I had a tie with Fang Tianhong, but we were fighting, and suddenly there was a burst of white smoke, and then I fainted." gone."
"Bai Yan?" An Jiu asked suspiciously, she felt that this matter was getting more and more interesting.
Lei Lei nodded, then stroked her chin and continued to recall: "I vaguely saw a handsome man when I was unconscious."
An Jiu leaned over her head and asked, "I still have spring/dreams in broad daylight, does Miss Aoki know?"
"I, Lei Lei, am not such a shameless person. I only have Xiao Qingmu in my heart." Lei Lei said speechlessly: "I was really not dreaming at the time, I was really a stunningly beautiful man, but later on I turned into a big ugly man .”
"Is that beautiful or ugly?"
"Beautiful, but also ugly." Lei Lei became more and more confused as she thought about it, and finally she just shook her head and said, "Maybe I was wrong, maybe there were two people. Anyway, when I woke up later, all the members of the Ax Gang were dead, and unexpectedly Or die by my knife."
An Jiu was puzzled and asked, "After talking for a long time, did you kill the person?"
"Of course not. How could I not know who I, Lei Lei, killed. I guess it must have been done by that beautiful man. It's really strange that he still understands the martial arts of my Qinglei sect, but it's a big deal. I was afraid that I couldn't hide it, so I added an extra knife to their body, and then made the wound look different, so that others would believe that it was not necessarily done by the Qinglei faction."
Hearing this, An Jiu sighed softly: "Then everyone suspected that I did it."
Lei Lei laughed and said, "Who made you just offend the Ax Gang!"
Lei Lei continued: "However, it's strange to say that I haven't been able to find out how the members of the Ax Gang died. No matter how you look at it, it's my Qinglei sect's sword technique."
"Later I heard that there was a massacre like this in Qingtong Town, and those townspeople were all killed with a knife, so I went to investigate, but I didn't expect to see you taking the blame for Miss Tang, and I have nothing to do with you taking the blame this time. "
An Jiu said thoughtfully: "It's really strange that the people in Qingtong Town were not the ones who did what Ruochu did. Who did it?"
"The murderer's sword skills are extremely high, I'm afraid he is a master of swordsman." Lei Lei shook his head and sighed, "But I have visited all the families of swordsmen in the world, and I can't think of anyone who can use swords to the point of perfection."
"There is one person." An Jiu frowned.
"who?"
An Jiudao: "Overlord Sword, Zuo Mingtang."
Lei Lei asked in surprise: "Isn't it rumored that this person broke into the palace alone and died?"
"No, he was just imprisoned. What is he going to do now that he has come out of the rivers and lakes again and committed these tragedies?" An Jiu really couldn't figure it out.
It stands to reason that if Zuo Mingtang escaped, he should go back to the palace, but he chose to go back to the rivers and lakes, killing so many innocent people in one shot, it really doesn't look like him.
Unless someone instigated him behind the scenes, or there was a bigger conspiracy hidden in Zuo Mingtang.
Lei Lei realized later: "No wonder I heard about the reappearance of Bawang Dao a few days ago, so I chased it out of curiosity, but unfortunately found nothing. Now that you said it like this, I think it's quite strange."
After listening, An Jiu finally figured out why she met Zuo Mingtang on the road, and also understood why Lei Lei appeared in Zhenwu Mountain.
"So, do you suspect that Zuo Mingtang was responsible for those missing Zhenwu disciples?" An Jiu guessed that Lei Lei was also investigating the disappearance of Zhenwu disciples.
When An Jiu heard Lei Lei's words, she realized that she had come all the way to track down the murderer, and finally locked the murderer in Zhenwu Mountain. However, Lei Lei didn't know the identity of the murderer, so she had to hide her identity and investigate secretly.
Coincidentally, Lei Lei placed Aoki in the deserted back mountain, and set up a trap to prevent others from hurting Aoki, but he didn't want to be misunderstood by those true martial arts disciples that these disciples were killed by the back mountain banshee.
An Jiu thought about it and said, "Ax Gang, Qingtong Town, Zhenwumen, what exactly do Zuo Mingtang want to slaughter so many people?"
Maybe there is one more person who knows the truth, and that is Zhang Yuan.
These things seem to have nothing to do with his messenger, but they are connected with him everywhere. It seems that she has to ask this "brother-in-law" to come forward again.
No matter what it is, Zuo Mingtang's current route is to go straight to Qingtong Town, so there is only one purpose left.
An Jiu frowned and said, "No, Zuo Mingtang's goal is now the martial arts conference."
Lei Lei said: "If he appears in the martial arts conference, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the world."
An Jiu clasped her hands and saluted Lei Lei and asked, "I misunderstood the girl before, so I apologize to the girl here."
Lei Lei waved her hand and said: "Forget it, speaking of it, I can't explain the ax to help destroy the family. Now that you have taken the blame, how can I have the nerve to blame you again?"
"Dare to ask, is there any way to stop Zuo Mingtang from killing innocent people again?"
Lei Lei thought deeply, shook her head and said: "No one can stop the Bawang Dao, but if Zuo Mingtang committed a serious crime and dared to break into the martial arts conference, you and I can expose his crimes at the martial arts conference. , Many heroes join forces, I am not afraid that Zuo Mingtang will not be subdued."
"But I, An Xiaojiu, are now the devil in the eyes of the people in the Jianghu. I'm afraid I was wiped out before I even opened my mouth to explain."
What An Jiu said was not unreasonable. After thinking about it, Lei Lei said, "Perhaps you can use the golden cicada to escape the shell like me."
"This plan is amazing!" An Jiu and Lei Lei looked at each other and smiled.
"Come on, let me have another drink."
When An Jiu picked up the cup and was about to toast Lei Lei again, she was pushed back by Lei Lei, "I don't want to drink anymore. I still lack some evidence. I have to go there myself. See you and me at the martial arts conference."
Lei Lei cupped her fists to bid farewell, and An Jiu saluted back.
When Lei Lei was getting up to leave, her eyes moved suddenly, she turned back, and stuffed a bottle into An Jiu's hand.
"This is...a gift?" An Jiu took the bottle and looked it over carefully. The young lady of the Qinglei School is really generous, and she even gave a gift?
Lei Lei shook her head, covered it with her hands, and whispered in An Jiu's ear, "This is Hehuan San."
An Jiu was taken aback, slipped his hand, and almost broke the bottle.
Fortunately, Lei Lei had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly took the bottle, "It's very expensive. I saw that you and I are kindred spirits, so I kindly gave you a bottle. You almost dropped me."
An Jiuyi said righteously, "Why did you give me such a despicable thing?"
"Of course you can do whatever you want!" Lei Lei squinted and said with a smile: "Which of the things you did to Miss Tang in the back mountain was not despicable? You dare to say that Miss Tang is your woman, Still afraid of this thing?"
"Nonsense! I, An Xiaojiu, am not such a mean and shameless..." An Jiu subconsciously reached out and picked up the bottle and stuffed it into his sleeve, "Your man."
"Cough, cough, understand." Lei Lei smiled, clasped her hands again and said, "Please take good care of my little Qingmu."
After An Jiu gave her a "reassuring" look, Lei Lei turned and left.
An Jiu also went back, but along the way, she was just uneasy, as if she had done something bad, and felt uncomfortable.
"Xiao Jiu, Miss Lei is gone?"
At some point, Tang Ruochu suddenly appeared in front of An Jiu, frightened An Jiu quickly touched his sleeve, and after confirming that he had hidden the things, he nodded quickly and said, "Well, she, she still has something to do."
"It seems that Xiaojiu has already negotiated with Miss Lei."
Tang Ruochu's face was a little calm, and he didn't ask about Lei Lei's affairs at all, but An Jiu asked curiously: "Why don't you ask me what I talked about with Lei Lei, that ruthless person?"
Tang Ruochu said: "I was worried and followed me just now. I saw the two of you talking happily from a distance. This Miss Lei should be a good person, otherwise Xiao Jiu wouldn't get close to her."
"When did you come here? Did you hear what she said? Did you see what Lei Lei gave me?" As soon as An Jiu heard Tang Ruochu's words, she immediately pulled Tang Ruochu's hand excitedly and asked.
Tang Ruochu looked at An Jiu suspiciously, and said, "I've been on the shore all this time, but I didn't hear what you were talking about, I just saw that Miss Lei gave you a bottle, is it this?"
Tang Ruochu suddenly reached out and took out the bottle from An Jiu's sleeve.
An Jiu hurriedly snatched it back, and said with a disguised smile: "This, this is a gadget she gave me, medicine for strengthening the body, you, don't think too much about it."
"Why should I think so much?" Tang Ruochu looked at An Jiu puzzled, feeling that she was weird.
An Jiu shook her head, and quickly hid the bottle behind her back with her hands behind her back, holding on to the bottle, "Ruochu, tonight...I...I want to invite you together... Eat, okay?"
"Okay." Tang Ruochu smiled slightly.
When she smiled, An Jiu was delighted.
......
An Jiu went back to Zhenwu Sect nervously. After tonight, they had to leave for Qingtong Town, otherwise they would not be able to attend the martial arts conference in time.
An Jiu went back to the room in dismay, holding the small bottle tightly in his hand, his brows raised in confusion.
Tang Ruochu actually agreed to go to the appointment tonight, but she didn't have the guts to do it.
If she was drugged, wouldn't she be as despicable as Zhang Yuan?
But what Lei Lei said was true, she was already with Tang Ruochu, and it seemed that there would be no problem with the relationship being closer.
"Master, you are back."
While An Jiu was thinking about it, Yu Zimo walked in, holding a pot of hot tea for An Jiu.
An Jiu stared at Yu Zimo for a long time, staring at Yu Zimo a little uncomfortable, Yu Zimo couldn't hold back his words, so he asked, "Sect Leader, what orders do you have?"
"No, ahem, I just find it strange that you didn't ask me where I went? How is the investigation of Qingya's affairs going?" An Jiu deliberately changed the subject, but she never felt timid in her heart.
Yu Zimo said: "Hey, Miss Lu is staying in the room well, why don't you know she's back?"
An Jiu asked in surprise, "Qingya is back?"
"Blame me, Miss Lei just asked you out today, Miss Lu came back, I haven't had time to tell the master, blame my memory!" Yu Zimo slapped himself on the forehead.
After hearing this, An Jiu hurriedly stood up and went to see Lu Qingya.
Yuzimo led the way and led An Jiu to Lu Qingya's room.
It's just that An Jiu ran into Song Shiyu just after stepping into the room, An Jiu was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered about Song Shiyu, and suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart.
When Lu Qingya saw An Jiu, she quickly saluted with her sword in her arms, and said, "My lord, Qingya got separated from you, and almost got you injured. You deserve death."
An Jiu just waved her hand to signal Yu Zimo to watch out the door, and waited until Yu Zimo closed the door before saying, "Qing Ya, where have you been?"
Lu Qingya said: "Qingya found a few corpses in the back mountain forest, they were all missing Zhenwu disciples, originally wanted to come back and report to Young Master, but... ended up meeting the people from Aojian Villa, Qingya was fine. ...and hid."
The martial arts conference is coming soon, and the people of Aojian Villa will naturally not miss it, but An Jiu didn't expect that Lu Qingya is still afraid of the people of Aojian Villa.
"So it's because of that person." An Jiu said in a deep voice, "Qingya, since you're working with me, it's better not to be timid."
At this moment, Song Shiyu hurriedly persuaded: "Xiao Jiu don't blame her anymore, if you want to blame, just blame the word love is very harmful."
When Song Shiyu mentioned the word love, there was infinite sadness in her eyes, and she seemed to have a deep understanding.
An Jiu's brows frowned even deeper: Could it be that Shi Yu really loves Ruochu deep in his bones?
"What's wrong with those corpses?" An Jiu deliberately changed the subject.
Lu Qingya said, "They were all killed with one blow."
"A knife wound? Another knife wound?" An Jiu sighed.
"It must be Zuo Mingtang." Song Shiyu said excitedly: "Xiao Jiu, I found Zuo Mingtang's trace before and followed him all the way. Although I couldn't get close to him, I could feel his murderous aura was heavier and stronger. In the past, and what he held was the Bawangdao, the Bawangdao needs to be nourished with blood sacrifices to keep the treasured sword from growing old."
An Jiu thought about it and said: "But I always feel that it's not just as simple as raising the knife with blood. Zuo Mingtang didn't return home after he was released from the prison. Even if he needed a blood sacrificial knife, he should go to a crowded place, but he chose to go by water. It doesn't make sense to take a detour to the remote Zhenwu Mountain to kill people."
If these massacres were all done by Zuo Mingtang, then he should first go to Qingtong Town to massacre the people, then destroy the Axe Gang, and finally take the water to Zhenwu Mountain, kill a few Zhenwu disciples, and then return to Qingtong Town.
This is going in circles too much, if An Jiu was him, he would definitely stay in Qingtong Town, and wait until the martial arts conference starts, when people from all corners of the country gather, and then start killing.
But Zuo Mingtang seems to only have a grudge against her father, and after breaking out of the prison, he took revenge?
It would be more reasonable if someone ordered it.
Assuming that the person who instigated Zuo Mingtang was Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan belonged to the emperor's uncle, and the emperor's uncle wanted to intervene in Jianghu affairs, so Zuo Mingtang was helping them get rid of the disobedient sect, so it might as well be possible.
Among the Jianghu sects, Zhenwu is probably the most closely related to the court. If Zhenwu is close to the prince, then it is reasonable for Zhang Yuan to attack Zhenwu.
As for the Ax Gang, it is very likely that they really offended her, so the court people will naturally help her out.
So what about the massacre in Qingtong Town?
To frame Tang Ruochu?
Silence?
Or is there another picture?
An Jiu felt that Zhang Yuan had to find Zhang Yuan to explain all of this.
At this time, Song Shiyu seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and said quickly: "What if the True Martial Sect is Zuo Mingtang's foothold?"
Song Shiyu woke An Jiu up with a word, and An Jiu said: "You mean someone let Zuo Mingtang go on purpose, and this person has a place in Zhenwu. Zuo Mingtang returned to Zhenwu after killing people. Now their goal is The martial arts conference, so Zuo Mingtang set off for Qingtong Town again?"
Song Shiyu said: "My grandfather said that although he has ignored the government for many years, he also knows that there are many bad roots in the court these years, and he is afraid that someone with a heart will make a fuss."
"But Zuo Mingtang is a repeat offender of the imperial court, ordinary people can't let him go...Qing Ya, you go and tell Yan Wushan, let him spread the news of Bawang Dao's reappearance to all sects."
"Yes."
This matter is not difficult, Jianghu is the place where gossip gathers throughout the ages, and any scandal can spread throughout the Jianghu overnight, let alone such a sensational event as Bawangdao.
An Jiu thought about it, then walked to the table, picked up a pen and ink to write a letter, and then passed it to Lu Qingya, saying: "You send this letter, and it must be delivered before the martial arts conference starts."
"Yes!"
Lu Qingya took the letter and hurriedly got up and walked out.
Then only An Jiu and Song Shiyu were left in the room.
An Jiu simply said bluntly: "Shi Yu, there is actually one more thing I want to tell you clearly, it's about Ruochu."
An Jiu suddenly mentioned Tang Ruochu, and Song Shiyu immediately became nervous.
Song Shiyu said: "Xiao Jiu, there is no need to hide between you and my sisters. I admit that I am emotional this time, and I don't intend to let go. What do you think about this matter?"
An Jiu was taken aback, she didn't expect Song Shiyu to be so straightforward, but her frankness made her very disturbed.
Everyone respected her as a princess since she was a child and dared not have a heart-to-heart relationship with her. Song Shiyu was her first friend and her only bosom friend for so many years.
If it wasn't for Song Shiyu's enlightenment back then, perhaps An Jiu wouldn't be able to make it this far.
But now if they really fell in love with someone, An Jiu would be lying if he said it would be embarrassing.
"But she doesn't like you." An Jiu said: "I like Ruochu, and Ruochu and I are in love with each other, no one can stop us."
After listening, Song Shiyu suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Jiu, I really envy you for getting what you love. Maybe I'm destined to suffer the hurt of wishful thinking."
"We can compete fairly!"
What An Jiu said was the truth.
She and Song Shiyu's sisters are deeply in love, no matter what Song Shiyu wants from her, she can give her half of it, but only Tang Ruochu can't.
Tang Ruochu is a piece of An Jiu's heart, no one can share it.
In this life, An Jiu wants to monopolize Tang Ruochu's people and heart, as long as it is everything from Tang Ruochu, she wants it all.
"Huh?" Song Shiyu looked at An Jiu suspiciously, and asked in confusion, "How can we compete?"
An Jiudao: "Although Ruochu likes me, I don't want to hurt the sisterhood between us. We can compete fairly. If you can make Ruochu fall in love with you, I can give up."
If Tang Ruochu likes someone else, An Jiu will let go no matter how painful it is, as long as Tang Ruochu is happy.
Hearing this, Song Shiyu finally understood what An Jiu meant, couldn't help laughing, and explained: "So Xiao Jiu, you think the person I like is Miss Tang?"
"Isn't it?" An Jiu's eyes lit up, it would be better if she misunderstood this matter.
Song Shiyu said: "Of course not, since Miss Tang is your heart and soul, how would I dare to provoke her?"
"Isn't the person you like Ruochu?" An Jiu asked with joy in her heart, but after thinking about it, she became confused again, "If you don't like Ruochu, then who is your sweetheart?" ?”
Song Shiyu bowed her head shyly, and replied with a smile: "Yes, it's Brother Fang."
"Fang Yixing?" An Jiu looked in disbelief.
It wasn't until An Jiu saw Song Shiyu nodding that she really believed that flowers would really be stuck in cow dung.
An Jiu casually picked up a book on the table and threw it at Song Shiyu's head, "Are you stupid? With a handsome, unrestrained and outstanding person like me hanging around you, how can you still blindly look at the kind of man like Yixing above?" people?"
"I won't let you talk about him like that!" Song Shiyu said angrily, "Xiao Jiu, you don't understand Big Brother Fang at all. When I first came to the rivers and lakes, I met a few hooligans, and they were all saved by Big Brother Fang."
"Then you made a promise with your body?" An Jiu really didn't understand, Song Shiyu had been her sister for many years anyway, how could she even believe such a vulgar joke plot?
However, when Song Shiyu happily told An Jiu how Fang Yixing saved her, and then the Jianghu was too small, and they met again, An Jiu concluded a truth: Song Shiyu was kicked in the head by a donkey.
Song Shiyu is so stupid to believe in the plot of the hero saving the beauty, probably no donkey in the world dares to admit that he kicked people so stupidly.
"Xiao Jiu, you are not allowed to slander Big Brother Fang any more. Big Brother Fang is really a good person, but it is a pity that he fell in love with the wrong person. He fell in love with Miss Tang, but Miss Tang misses you so much. I'm jealous of you, and I'm against you."
"Song Shiyu!"
An Jiu couldn't help cursing, "Can you be smarter? Fang Yixing is not a good match at all. If you really meet a hero, I can bear it, but you chose such a bad guy. "
"An Jiu!" Song Shiyu said angrily, "If you say that about my Brother Fang again, I will be very upset!"
"Okay, okay, you're in a daze now, I'll wake you up when you calm down!"
An Jiu knew Song Shiyu's temper too well, if she was advised directly, she would not listen at all, and it would be better to wake her up after she saw through Fang Yixing in the future.
However, although An Jiu was relieved knowing that the person Song Shiyu liked was not Tang Ruochu, she was even more unwilling to see Song Shiyu foolishly being ruined by Fang Yixing.
It seems that she has to find a chance to let Song Shiyu see that Fang Yixing is not a good match.
An Jiu was most happy to suppress Fang Yixing.
An Jiu chatted with Song Shiyu for a while and then went back to the room. After all, she still had important things to do tonight.
An Jiu ordered Yan Wushan and the others to prepare for the banquet tonight, to give Tang Ruochu a different and good memory, but...
Holding the bottle that Lei Lei gave her, An Jiu was in trouble again: Does she really want to do this?
As soon as Yu Zimo entered the room, he saw An Jiu fidgeting. An Jiu crossed Erlang's legs and frowned. Have you been so worried?"
"Yuzimo, how many years have you been a flower picker?" An Jiu asked suddenly.
When Yuzimo heard this, he knelt down in fright, and said sincerely: "Master, since I, Yuzimo, have entered Bafangmen and followed you, I have never done anything harmful to nature. I haven’t even killed the chickens, and I have to take a detour when I see ants on the side of the road!”
An Jiu raised his forehead, and interrupted Yu Zimo sharply, "Stop talking nonsense!"
"Two years!"
An Jiu frowned in doubt: "Only two years?"
Yu Zimo poked his finger aggrievedly, and said: "Sect Leader, although he has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, but he is still young, and he was accepted by the Sect Leader after his first taste of romance."
An Jiu hooked his hands, and Yu Zimo immediately listened to him, An Jiu whispered, "Do you have that?"
"Which one?"
"Ahem, do you have that kind of book for me to take a look at?"
It's a little embarrassing to say, but An Jiu didn't want Tang Ruochu to dislike her ignorance of these things. If she made a mistake tonight, wouldn't she be ashamed?
Caviar: "..."
Yu Zimo's eyes widened in surprise. He knew that An Jiu was flirtatious, but he didn't expect that An Jiu would be open about such things.
"I have a lot of them, pictures of beauties in the Jianghu, erotic pictures, gossip records of various sects in the Jianghu, etc., I don't know which one the head likes?" Yu Zimo squinted his eyes, laughed, and poked his finger in front of An Jiu. Stamped, gestured and said: "The price in Jianghu is uniform, ten coins for a copy, no one is cheating, since it is the head of the house, then the internal price is two coins."
This caviar even started doing business with her!
An Jiu picked up the tea and drank it calmly, and said, "I want the best!"
After hearing this, Yuzimo said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to have such a strong taste, Sect Leader, so I can only take out all the treasures that have been treasured for many years."
Saying that, Yu Zimo actually unbuttoned his belt, An Jiu covered his face speechlessly, after a while, Yu Zimo took out a few crumpled books from his pocket, and the covers were new.
This kid actually carries these things with him?
Yu Zimo gestured with two fingers, narrowed his eyes and said, "One price, twenty Wen!"
An Jiu's eyes turned cold, and she took out an ingot of gold and smashed it on the table, "I'll give you one gold, put it down and get out!"
"okay!"
Yuzimo reached out and took the gold, carefully put it into the bag, and walked out sneakily.
"Cough cough."
An Jiu tapped her fingers on the table, her eyes drifted to the few books on the table from time to time, wanting to read but holding back.
"I'm An Jiu, what am I afraid of?" An Jiu muttered, picking up the book generously and opening it.
......
On the banks of the Qingliu River, a painted boat appeared out of nowhere by the lake, the moonlight was dim, and the lanterns spread their petals, illuminating a small world.
On the shore, Tang Ruochu came to the appointment in a red dress, An Jiu saw her figure from a distance, and hurriedly got off the boat to greet her.
"If you are here at the beginning."
"Ah."
"Xiao Jiu, didn't you say that today is just a meal? Why did you get so many things?" Tang Ruochu looked at the beautiful scenery around him and knew that it was An Jiu's careful arrangement.
"How do you like it?"
Tang Ruochu walked to the boat, stretched out his hand to play with the lantern, and said with a smile, "I like it."
"As long as you like it."
An Jiu pulled Tang Ruochu to the boat and sat down. Tang Ruochu looked at the delicious food on the table, and there were quite a lot of tricks.
"Osmanthus cake?" Tang Ruochu saw one of the cakes at a glance, so she still remembered it.
Tang Ruochu was already a little hungry, but when she was about to reach out for the pastry, An Jiu hurriedly stopped her, took Tang Ruochu's outstretched hand, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Ruochu, that... How is Miss Aoki?"
Tang Ruochu said: "I have been with her all the time today, but Miss Aoki seems to be...well, not sad, everything is as usual, just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that she has been practicing poison in the room. She said that she will practice the most poison in the world to poison Miss Lei to death."
An Jiu: "..."
"Cough cough." An Jiu put her hand to her mouth and coughed a few times, and said: "That...it's good, at least she still has hope, as long as she still hates Lei Lei, she won't be too sad gone."
"Lei Lei? Xiao Jiu seems to know Miss Lei very well. She used to call her Miss Lei, but now she calls her by her full name?" Tang Ruochu frowned slightly, seemingly displeased.
An Jiu quickly explained: "Ruochu, don't misunderstand me, Lei Lei and I just hit it off with Miss Lei, so we are planning to ask each other, how could there be anything..."
An Jiu didn't know if she had explained clearly, for fear that Tang Ruochu would be angry.
Tang Ruochu narrowed his eyes and looked at An Jiu, and said: "But that day I clearly saw the two of you holding small hands while drinking on the boat, and you pushed me to let me go, very intimate."
"No, that's what she wanted to force me as a gift, which I didn't want."
"You just met for the first time, and she gave you something?"
"That's not a gift. In fact, it's not a gift. It's just an ordinary thing. There are many of them on the street! Lei Lei, bah, Miss Lei is stingy and stingy, why would she want to give me a gift?"
Seeing An Jiu's anxious look, Tang Ruochu couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I'm joking with you!"
"Okay! You can actually tease me now." Although An Jiu was angry, there was a smile on his face.
When Tang Ruochu smiled, her heart almost melted.
Tang Ruochu just smiled and said nothing, and when he reached out to take the sweet-scented osmanthus cake again, An Jiu quickly grabbed her hand again, and hurriedly said, "By the way, Ruochu, that kid Fang Yixing didn't bother you anymore, did he?"
"Xiao Jiu, I have nothing to do with Mr. Fang. Mr. Fang can be regarded as a gentleman. He didn't do anything to me, so don't bully him anymore."
"How could I bully him?" An Jiu muttered, murmuring in a low voice but did not dare to talk back to Tang Ruochu.
Seeing that Tang Ruochu wanted to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, An Jiu hurriedly stopped her, "Ruochu, that, you are so beautiful today."
Tang Ruochu suddenly looked up at An Jiu, "Xiao Jiu~"
"Ok?"
"I'm hungry."
"Ah."
An Jiu hastily let go of her hand, but her eyes were still on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Tang Ruochu's hand from time to time, and then watched Tang Ruochu eat it bite by bite.
An Jiu looked a little nervous like a child who had done something bad.
An Jiu suddenly asked, "Ruochu, did you catch the person who gave you the medicine last time?"
Tang Ruochu said: "I heard that it was Miss Song's servant girl who did it, but that person just wanted to make Miss Song and Young Master Fang complete. I won't pursue this matter anymore.
