The flower is a tulip [Chu Liuxiang]

Chu Liuxiang was stunned as if unexpectedly, and repeated in a murmur: "You killed the person?"

Qiu Lingsu said lightly: "Mr. Chu wants this answer, isn't it?"

Chu Liuxiang sighed: "Could Madam tell how she killed the man?"

Qiu Lingsu said: "Naturally, it is Tianyi Shenshui."

In Chu Liuxiang's eyes, a sharp light flashed suddenly.But before he had time to ask, Nangong Ling rushed forward as if grabbing at a straw, and said, "Brother Chu, look, she doesn't even know how those people died, how could she be the murderer!"

Chu Liuxiang also shook his head and said, "Ma'am only heard me say that Jamuka died in Tianyi Shenshui, so I thought that the four dead were all poisoned. In fact, three of them died by killing each other. Madam didn't see it with her own eyes. It must have been impossible to guess.”

Qiu Lingsu smiled lightly, and said, "Just now you said that I have the biggest suspicion."

Chu Liuxiang said: "But I didn't say that there is only one murderer."

Qiu Lingsu also seemed to be startled, and said, "What do you mean?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "The letter was written by Madam, but the real murderer was someone else—Madam's companion."

Qiu Lingsu said: "Companion? You mean accomplice?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "Madam pleaded guilty so quickly, presumably to protect him."

Qiu Lingsu said: "He? Who is he?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "I also want to know, who is 'he', what is the purpose of Madam and 'him' setting up this game?"

Qiu Lingsu shook her head and said with a sneer, "You think too much. I have no accomplices, and I did everything alone."

"Master... Mrs. Qiu!" Nangong Ling couldn't help shouting again, "Since you are not the mastermind, why did you..."

"Tianfeng Fourteenth Lang."

Chu Liuxiang suddenly spit out the name word by word.After he finished these five words, no one spoke again, and the surrounding air became dead silent.

After a long time, Qiu Lingsu smiled relaxedly and said, "What are you talking about?"

"Tianfeng Shishilang, this is the name of the person Madam wants to protect." Chu Liuxiang said quietly, "It was this person who designed to instigate Ximen Qian and the others to kill each other, and poisoned Zamuhe with Tianyi Shenshui." It was this person who silenced the insider before I went to Jinan. It was also this person who repeatedly attacked me and Huamanlou, trying to make it impossible for us to continue our investigation."

Qiu Lingsu quickly answered, "But I've never heard of this name before, you..."

Her words were suddenly interrupted.Nangong Ling showed a dazed look, and said loudly: "I've heard this name before! Tianfeng Shishiro, Tianfeng Shishilang... Isn't this the ninja who wrote a letter to invite my mentor Ren Ci to a duel 20 years ago!"

Everyone was surprised when they heard this.Chu Liuxiang looked at Qiu Lingsu with enlightenment and said, "20 years ago, it was the time when Madam got married."

Nangong Ling nodded and said: "I once heard from my mentor that Feng Shishilang came across the sea that day not long after he married his teacher...and Mrs. Qiu, and wrote a letter to make an appointment to fight. It's just the scene of their duel, except for the fight with No one knows about Elder Situ who was with my mentor."

Chu Liuxiang pondered and said: "This Elder Situ..."

Nangong Ling sighed, "He passed away ten years ago."

Chu Liuxiang said: "In other words, no one knows the outcome of this duel?"

Nangong Lingdao: "Although the teacher didn't explain it when he mentioned it, but with his personality, if he loses the duel, he will never hide it."

Chu Liuxiang said: "So it was the old leader Ren who won?"

Nangong Ling said: "It must be."

Chu Liuxiang turned to look at Qiu Lingsu, and said, "Does Madam know about this duel?"

Qiu Lingsu said: "I...well, I know."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Tianfeng Shishilang is far away in Dongying, why did he make a special trip to fight with old gang leader Ren?"

Qiu Lingsu said: "People in Dongying respect martial arts, presumably they want to learn martial arts with Central Plains masters."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Since it's a competition, why are there no bystanders besides Elder Situ?"

Qiu Lingsu said: "Perhaps it's because neither of them cares about fame, and they don't want to attract attention."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Maybe?"

Qiu Lingsu said: "I am not the one fighting the duel, so naturally I don't know the truth."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Madam really doesn't know the truth about this duel?"

Qiu Lingsu said, "Should I know?"

Chu Liuxiang's hand slowly touched the bridge of her nose again.His eyes were shining like stars, and although his voice was not too loud, it was clear and powerful, as if every word was hitting a person's heart.

"I think Madam knows." He spoke neither fast nor slow, so that people could only listen quietly, but he couldn't interrupt, "It's only because Madam is the real reason for this duel."

For some reason, everyone present suppressed their breathing, only Chu Liuxiang's voice echoed in their ears.

"Madam used to walk in the rivers and lakes. Although she was famous for being poisonous, Madam's demeanor must be more fascinating. Therefore, there are many ministers under the skirt like Ximen Qian and Zuo Youzheng. Madam is also a kind and friendly person, so even The king of the desert, Zhamuhe, and even foreign guests like Dongying Tianfeng Shishilang, all came here to make friends with Madam."

Although these words were spoken politely, everyone could tell that it was a direct reference to Qiu Lingsu's unrequited flair in the past.But Qiu Lingsu just stood there quietly without saying a word.

"It's just that although Madam is unrestrained, she is still a woman. As time goes by, the ordinary ideal of a woman gradually gains the upper hand. Therefore, Madam finally decided to take only one scoop."

Hearing this, Nangong Ling couldn't help interjecting again: "Then...is that my benefactor Ren Ci?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded, and continued: "Twenty years ago, the old gang leader Ren was a leader in martial arts, status, and status. Except for Master Tianfeng of Shaolin Temple, few people can compare with him. Mrs. Qiu is The number one beauty in the world will naturally choose the number one hero in the world as a match."

Nangong Lingdao: "But the others... What about Zamuhe? Where's Zuo Youzheng?"

Heizhu loudly said: "I don't know about others, but when my father was young, he had more than one woman, so how could he care about her?"

Chu Liuxiang could only cough and said, "Of course the king of the desert has his own pride, and although Zuo Youzheng and others are also the leaders of a faction, how can they compare to the reputation and power of the old gang leader? So after Madam Qiu decided to get married, she There is nothing they can do to break up friendship with these people. Only Feng Shishirou that day..."

Nangong Ling's expression changed, and he said: "You mean, Tianfeng Shishilang came across the sea and asked to fight my mentor by name, in order to...is Mrs. Qiu?"

Chu Liuxiang sighed: "If it weren't for that, why would no one know about such a duel involving the Central Plains and Dongying martial arts? Old Gang Leader Ren specially invited Elder Situ to accompany him, and I'm afraid he will be the witness."

Nangong Ling said: "After Tianfeng Shishilang lost the battle and left, Mrs. Qiu has really become the wife of the leader in a stable way!"

His tone gradually became sharp, as if he was aggrieved by being kept in the dark by Qiu Lingsu.Heizhu was listening, and also let out a sneer.

Chu Liuxiang still had such a tepid demeanor, and said slowly: "But Tianfeng Shishilang could never forget his love for Mrs. Qiu, until 20 years later, when he heard that her husband was seriously ill, he took the opportunity to hook up with her. First, please ask Madam Qiu to infiltrate the Shenshui Palace and get the Tianyi Shenshui, then write a letter to invite Zuo Youzheng, Ximen Qian and others to come..."

Nangong Lingdao: "So the one who killed those four people was Tianfeng Shishilang!"

Chu Liuxiang said: "Why bother? Those four people came here for Mrs. Qiu, they only needed to provoke each other, and they fought with each other first. Tianfeng Shishilang waited for the opportunity to poison Jamuka to death with Tianyi Shenshui, and then took the corpse to death. Throw it into the sea, and this series of schemes will be completed."

After he finally finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he felt satisfied, and turned his gaze to Qiu Lingsu who was standing there.

Qiu Lingsu's eyes under the black veil suddenly flashed a sharp light.Following her, she raised her hand, clapped her hands lightly, and said with a smile, "I really admire you for explaining the whole thing so clearly and so reasonable that even I almost believed it."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Madam, don't you want to admit it?"

Qiu Lingsu said: "I will admit what I did. But there is something wrong with your reasoning."

Chu Liuxiang pondered: "What's wrong?"

Qiu Lingsu said: "It has been 20 years since I got married. Even though they all have never forgotten their love for me, don't they realize that the years are ruthless after seeing them? Is it gone?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "The madam didn't know the details of the deaths of the four people, so she shouldn't be at the scene. What's more, in my opinion, madam's demeanor is rare in the world, let alone 20 years ago. Heartbroken. Tianfeng Shishilang has not changed his original intention for 20 years, I can understand."

Qiu Lingsu said with a smile: "You say Tianfeng Shishilang on the left and Tianfeng Shishilang on the right. If I say that there is no such person, do you believe it?"

Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and said, "I'd rather believe my eyes."

Qiu Lingsu said: "Since this is the case, I will let you see for yourself what is real."

After she finished speaking, she went to pick off the black veil that covered her face.Chu Liuxiang frowned, but from the corner of her eyes, she saw Nangong Ling slowly turning her head away.

The veil was finally lowered.

Chu Liuxiang's body shook, her eyes widened in disbelief.Hei Zhuzhu had been staring at Qiu Lingsu intently, but now she screamed "Ah", turned around and hugged Chu Liuxiang, buried her whole face in his chest, and never dared to look up again.

Chu Liuxiang was originally full of confidence, as if someone had poked a hole, and all of it leaked out at once.He only felt that his ten fingers had become cold, and his heart was also cold.

He originally thought that it was a face that was as beautiful as a fairy in the sky, but who would have thought that what he saw looked like a devil in hell.

Not even the sights of the worst nightmares could compare to the terror in front of him.

It was hardly a face anymore.

Chu Liuxiang suddenly understood why Nangong Ling turned his face away.

He felt the black pearl in his arms trembling constantly, and he himself couldn't restrain the trembling of his body.

That face was still looking at him, looking at him calmly, as if trying to see the depths of his heart from his expression.

Chu Liuxiang sighed deeply, and said in a low voice, "I never thought it would be like this."

In just a short moment, he had already calmed himself down, because he knew that behind this incident, there must still be unsolved mysteries hidden.

Qiu Lingsu put back the veil slowly, looked at him and said, "I also have to admire Mr. Chu's concentration and mind."

Chu Liuxiang couldn't speak for a while, she just forced a smile, but saw that her eyes had turned to one side.

When Chu Liuxiang, Heizhu, and even Nangongling were fighting with Qiu Lingsu, Hua Manlou, who had never said a word, still stood there quietly, with a smile on his lips.

Qiu Lingsu sighed, "As for Young Master Hua..."

Hua Manlou laughed before she finished speaking: "Ma'am, there is no need to praise me. I am not moved by Madam's face, just because I am blind."

Qiu Lingsu was stunned, let out a sigh of relief as if he had solved some problem, and said with a light smile: "I see. Mr. Hua is an open-minded person."

Hua Manlou said: "Madam, why not?"

Qiu Lingsu said, "Me?"

Hua Manlou's face was full of clarity, which made people feel that there was not even a trace of gloom in his heart at a glance.

"Although I can't see it, I can hear that what Madam said is sincere."

Qiu Lingsu was silent for a long time before saying, "Do you trust me?"

Hua Manlou shook his head and said, "I don't believe Madam's words, but I believe Madam's heart."

Chu Liuxiang seemed to be awakened by his words, and quickly followed up: "That's right, Madam said those words just to protect Tianfeng Shishilang."

Qiu Lingsu said: "I said before, I don't know any Tianfeng Shishilang, so why would I defend him?"

Chu Liuxiang pondered and said: "Maybe it's because... Tianfeng Shishilang saw that his wife's appearance had changed drastically, and he changed his original intention, but he wanted to use her. And the lady was thinking about the old love..."

Qiu Lingsu interrupted him with a smile: "If I hadn't heard about Bandit Commander, I would have thought that Mr. Chu is a storyteller, and you can make up any kind of story without leaking."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Then madam, would you like to give me an explanation?"

Qiu Lingsu paused, and then said: "Explain...you must want to explain, why not make a bet with me."

Chu Liuxiang twitched her eyebrows and said, "Bet?"

Qiu Lingsu said: "Ye Liuxiang, the captain of the thief, I heard that Mr. Chu is the only person in the world who is unwilling to steal, and has not been unable to steal it."

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help being startled, and said, "Madam, do you want me to steal something?"

Qiu Lingsu said: "Exactly. As long as you steal it, I will admit defeat and tell you the truth."

Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and said, "What if I can't steal it? What is my bet?"

Heizhu suddenly said loudly: "What else, she must want you to let her go!"

Qiu Lingsu had put on her veil again, so she was no longer afraid, and stood up straight again, with her hands on her hips.That posture looked as if Chu Liuxiang agreed to the gamble, and she was about to go up and fight desperately.

But Qiu Lingsu just shook his head slightly and said, "Your bet is your curiosity."

Chu Liuxiang said, "Curiosity?"

Qiu Lingsu said: "For this matter, you already have a satisfactory explanation yourself, but you still feel that it is not enough. You must tell me to tell you again, isn't it just out of curiosity?"

Chu Liuxiang rubbed the bridge of her nose and smiled lightly: "That's right. I also want to know what it would be like if things weren't what I thought."

Qiu Lingsu said: "So, if you lose, you will never know."

Chu Liuxiang was startled, as if an ominous feeling slowly rose from the bottom of her heart.But he didn't have time to think about it, he just asked hastily: "What exactly is it that Madam asked me to steal?"

Qiu Lingsu's face under the veil underwent some strange changes in an instant.Although there was no expression on that face, Chu Liuxiang still intuitively believed that she showed a light but profound smile.

Then she said, "My life."

Her body suddenly fell down!

The author has something to say:

It is estimated that the Fragrance from the Sea of ​​Blood unit will be completed next week.

So I have to work hard to save the manuscript!It’s really stressful to write until 12 o’clock at night every day these days. The key is that there is no way to fix it. If there is a bug, please correct it later.

Then when posting the last chapter, I discussed with cp about the subheading, and he said, "Will Jinjiang, who said he came to dig a hole, give you the manuscript fee?"...

The two of us praised it and found out... Nangong Ling's digging is the last chapter...

Why can't you continue digging holes?

And after cp scanned the comment area, he gave me a serious science popularization:
