Frost shines on Qingcheng

After taking the photo, the old man broke out in a cold sweat.He remembered the girl!Wasn't he the one who crossed the river a few days ago?At that time, he felt that there was something wrong with this girl. From this point of view, she was not only related to the rumored assassin in Qingcheng these days, but also had a great relationship with the lord of Shuilan City.

"Shuangzhao!" Tang Mengxuan went up to meet her, seeing that Shen Shuangzhao was covered in blood, her heart was raised high.Tears couldn't stop falling, and she regretted letting Shen Shuangzhao go to Qingcheng alone.

Shen Wanrong was so stimulated by the blood on Shen Shuangzhao's body that her heart ached. She thought of Shen Shuangzhao's injury, and said to Tang Mengxuan: "Shuang'er is seriously injured, please seek medical treatment immediately. Mengxuan, don't waste your time."

Tang Mengxuan nodded and hurriedly made way.

---------------------------------------------

Shen Shuangzhao lay on the bed, staring blankly at the curtain above her head.She has been lying on this bed for a month, during which time Shen Wanrong never came to see her, but someone sent a message asking her to recover from her injuries.Shen Shuang knew that Master was annoying her.

Her wound hadn't fully healed yet, and Master ordered her not to get out of bed. She felt like she was going to be turned into stone, and she didn't know when such a day would end.

Just as I was thinking, I heard the sound of the door opening.

Tang Mengxuan walked to the bed, smiled and said to Shen Shuangzhao, "Master is here to see you."

Shen Shuangzhao's eyes instantly brightened, and she made a gesture to get up.

"Shuang'er, lie down." Shen Wanrong, Xue Qing and the others walked in, and she pressed her palm to signal Shen Shuangzhao to lie back on the bed.With so many people coming, the originally quiet room became lively.

"Master, you are finally willing to see Shuang'er..." Shen Shuangzhao spoke softly, although her expression did not change much, her slightly trembling voice and teary eyes still revealed her emotions .

Shen Wanrong felt overwhelmed at the thought of coming, she said with a straight face and cold voice: "Without my order, you left the city privately and entered the inner city of Qingcheng alone to steal the Longevity Lock from Zhao Yueyao. I shouldn't be so rebellious. Come to see you. If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have let Xue Qingruodie bring you back, let you die in Qingcheng.”

Shen Shuangzhao bit her lower lip with guilt and self-blame on her face.She admitted that she acted impulsively and acted too hastily.It is reasonable for Master to be angry with her.

"It's Shuang'er's fault, and it's causing trouble for Master. Shuang'er is willing to be punished by Master."

Shen Wanrong lost all anger at what she said, and just sighed helplessly.She sat on the side of the bed, gently caressing Shen Shuangzhao's face with her hands, her eyes were as gentle as water: "Shuang'er, does your wound still hurt?"

Shen Shuangzhao shook her head, her eyes were black and bright, shining like stars: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it won't hurt anymore when Master comes to see me."

Shen Wanrong smiled sweetly, and carefully brushed the strands of hair scattered on Shen Shuangzhao's face behind her ears with her fingers: "When did you learn to please me?"

Shen Shuangzhao lowered her eyelids, feeling shy all of a sudden, and spoke softly: "Shuang'er...what Shuang'er said is true..."

Shen Wanrong smiled like a flower, and pinched the tip of Shen Shuangzhao's small and exquisite nose: "Okay, as long as you are fine. You'd better not get out of bed these days, the doctor said you should rest."

Shen Shuangzhao frowned, feeling very wronged: "Master, Shuang'er hasn't gone out for almost a month. If I lie down on the bed again, I will be suffocated to death."

"Everything has a cause and an effect. You are trapped in the house now, isn't it all because of your restlessness?" Shen Wanrong took the opportunity to teach her, "If you dare to go out of the city without telling me next time, then I will be without you This apprentice, from now on, the master-student relationship will be completely severed."

In Shen Shuangzhao's impression, Shen Wanrong has regarded herself as her own since she was a child, and she has never said such harsh and unfeeling words to her. I think this incident really angered her.

"Shuang'er must remember this lesson well."

"Forget it, since the matter is over and you know your mistake, don't bring it up again. However, I still want to punish you and ban you for half a year. You are not allowed to leave the inner city without permission for half a year."

Shen Shuangzhao's lips were tightly pressed into a line. She was only 15 years old, no matter how old she was, she still had a little childishness.This age is the time to love freedom and liveliness.When she heard that Shen Wanrong was going to ground her for half a year, her heart turned cold.

"Why don't you speak? Does Shuang'er have any objections to the punishment?" Shen Wanrong asked.

"Shuang'er is willing to be punished." Although she was very depressed, Shen Shuangzhao still tried her best to suppress her emotions.

"That's good." Shen Wanrong covered her with a quilt, but she was distracted by the red string and silver bell on her wrist, "Shuang'er, when did you wear these things? Or the red string... Could it be that you have a sweetheart?"

Shen Shuangzhao was shocked, why did she forget about this thing?She quickly freed her hand from Shen Wanrong, hid it in the quilt, and explained in a stuttering manner: "Where... where is the sweetheart? This red rope... I just watched it for fun at the night market in Qingcheng, so I just bought it." Bought something to wear and play with."

Both Xueqing and Ruodee laughed lowly, and Ruodee said: "Shuang'er has indeed reached the age of first love."

"It's...it's not..." Shen Shuangzhao retorted awkwardly, but she couldn't restrain her face from blushing until her neck, but she was scolding Lu Qingrong in her heart.

"City Master, look at Shuang'er, she's blushing." Xue Qing joked.

Shen Wanrong smiled, her eyes were tender.

Shen Shuangzhao was ashamed and annoyed, and finally hid under the blanket.As soon as she mentioned the things on her wrist, she thought of the weird and vicious Lu Qingrong.No, she had to find a way to untie the hateful red rope and bell.

The author has something to say: I’m so sleepy, I’ve been learning how to drive late these two days ヽ(′?д?｀)?

☆, chance encounter

Shen Shuangzhao was holding a new dagger, staring intently at the red string on his wrist.She sharpened the red rope carefully with a sharp blade, but it was a pity that no matter how hard she tried, the red rope in her hand had no intention of breaking.The longer the time, the more Shen Shuangzhao's patience was worn down.There was fine sweat on her forehead, but there was still no progress in the work she was doing.

"Boom!" In the end, her last bit of patience was exhausted, and her mood became extremely irritable, and she slammed the dagger into the wooden table as if to vent her anger.

Shen Shuangzhao cursed secretly in her heart: It really follows the owner, and the witch's things also have a demonic aura, otherwise how could this new dagger be able to cut through this mere red rope?She shook her arm lightly, and the bell on the rope rang.She, Shen Shuangzhao, is not a dog, so what's the matter with tying a bell around her body?

She admits that she is indifferent by nature, and her master taught her to be calm and not to be troubled by trivial matters since she was a child.At this age, she is indeed indifferent and peaceful. Although the master always said that she is a little less enthusiastic in dealing with people at this age, she has never been easily angered.

I didn't expect to meet that cruel woman in Qingcheng.Not only did he play with himself in the applause again and again, but he also wrapped this annoying bell around himself, which was really annoying.And every time they meet, she can easily annoy herself.Even if she doesn't appear by his side now, she can poke his heart without leaving a trace, I really don't know where she got it!

"Shuangzhaoshuangzhao!" Tang Mengxuan happily ran in from the door.

Shen Shuangzhao was flustered, afraid that she would see her special meaning for the bell, so she quickly withdrew her hand and looked at Tang Mengxuan as usual: "Senior Sister."

"Shuangzhao, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. How about you go shopping with me?" Tang Mengxuan asked enthusiastically.

Shen Shuangzhao hesitated for a while, and said in embarrassment: "Senior sister... I would like to accompany you to the outer city for a stroll, but... But because of my trespassing in Qingcheng before, Master punished me for half a year, and I was not allowed to go out without permission. The city. It’s only been five months since the confinement period, I... I’m afraid I can’t accompany you out of the city.”

Tang Mengxuan suddenly realized: "Ah... look at my memory, how did I forget this?" She looked rather disappointed, "Last time you were sick in bed, it's a pity that you missed the Mid-Autumn Festival feast."

Shen Shuangzhao put the dagger away, couldn't bear to see Tang Mengxuan disappointed, so she said, "Senior Sister, actually I don't have to go, you can also let Senior Sister Sangyu accompany you out of the city."

Tang Mengxuan didn't agree, but she didn't refuse either. She just changed her face, from disappointment to entanglement and trouble.

Seeing that she was silent, Shen Shuang shook her: "Senior sister?"

Only then did Tang Mengxuan come back to her senses: "It's better. Since Shuangzhao can't go out of the city, I won't go either. Your injury hasn't healed for long, and it's boring to be alone in the inner city. It's me who spends time with you." .”

Shen Shuangzhao: "Senior Sister, do you have any misunderstanding with Senior Sister Sang Yu? In the past few days, I have seen you deliberately avoiding her."

"No." Tang Mengxuan forced a smile, fearing that Shen Shuang would not believe it, she added, "Really. I didn't have any misunderstanding with her."

"Oh..." Shen Shuangzhao hid her thoughts of probing little by little, and if the senior sister said no, she didn't.

Tang Mengxuan got up, her desire to find someone to go out of the city was in vain, she had better leave: "Shuangzhao, you have a good rest, I will come back another day."

Shen Shuang looked at her back, Tang Mengxuan's entangled loneliness and loss made Shen Shuang couldn't bear it, she called Tang Mengxuan: "Senior Sister!"

Tang Mengxuan turned her head and looked at her suspiciously from the corner of her eye.

"Tomorrow, I'll accompany you to go shopping in the street."

"But you..."

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Shen Shuangzhao's beautiful face: "I'll go to Master to beg for mercy, if she agrees, that would be great; if she doesn't agree, we'll sneak out."

Tang Mengxuan smiled, and whispered: "If you want to sneak out, see you at the back door of Jingfeng Courtyard."

Shen Shuang nodded as she said.

--------------------------------

"Has Zhao Yueyao made any moves recently?"

Approaching the main hall where Shen Wanrong was discussing matters, Shen Shuangzhao heard Shen Wanrong's voice.Subconsciously, Shen Shuangzhao didn't go in directly, but stood still by the side door.

"Back to the city lord, not yet." Xue Qing replied, she paused after she finished speaking, as if hesitating whether to say it, "City lord, Xue Qing still has something to say."

"Tell me." Shen Wanrong fiddled with the flowers in the hall, looking very leisurely.

Xueqing was silent for a while, thought over the consequences of the matter in her heart, and said after she had made enough psychological preparations: "Shuang'er broke into Zhao Yueyao's bedroom a few months ago."

Shen Wanrong: "I know about this."

"Then... does the city lord know about Shuang'er's sword?"

"Shuang'er's sword? What does this have to do with Shuang'er's sword?" Shen Wanrong raised her eyebrows, stopped the movements of her hands, and asked Xue Qing back.

Xue Qing bit her lower lip and said, "Shuang'er's sword was given to her by you, the city lord. As far as I know, when Shuang'er broke into Qingcheng privately, she accidentally left the sword in Qingcheng. In the end , the sword fell into Zhao Yueyao's hands."

Shen Wanrong's expression turned cold, and she was silent for a long time.Shen Shuangzhao outside the door began to feel uneasy, vaguely felt that she had done something that would make Master sad, and her heart became entangled instantly.

"Let it go." Shen Wanrong finally opened her lips and sighed, "It will be lost easily, maybe it really doesn't belong to me, even though he and I have tried our best to fight for it."

Xue Qing never thought that Shen Wanrong would have such an appearance of seeing through the past, as if the person who was desperate and frustrated more than ten years ago was not Shen Wanrong.

"But, that's the only thing Mr. Chu left for you." Xue Qing said anxiously to Shen Wanrong, "Don't you think it's a pity for the city lord?"

Shen Wanrong looked down at the flowers that had just bloomed, with the most gentle smile in her eyes: "When I gave that sword to Shuang'er, I was relieved. It's been a long time, until I finally understand that I can never do anything again." Will come back, the relationship between me and him can only be the only memory left in my heart. I think I should let it go. After all, I still shoulder the responsibility of the entire Shuilan City. I want to live well, not only for myself , especially for the people of Shuilan City."

"City Lord..." Xue Qing felt sorry for Shen Wanrong, who had lost her husband and child.After so many years, who can relieve the pain in the city lord's heart?

"Xueqing, don't mention this in front of Shuang'er. The sword I gave her is hers. Whether she cherishes it or loses it accidentally, it is her freedom. Besides, although the sword The sword is left by Xingzhi, but it is not the only thing he left me, he left me too many things...compared with that sword, it is really nothing."

Shen Shuangzhao didn't quite understand Shen Wanrong's words, Mr. Chu?As long as she could remember, she saw that Master was always alone.She always thought that someone as outstanding as Master might really be suitable for a person, and she didn't think there was a man in Shuilan City who was worthy of her.Now it seems that things are not what she thought.

After contemplating for a moment, Shen Shuang calmed down and walked into the hall.

"Master." Shen Shuangzhao said, and saluted Shen Wanrong.

"Shuang'er, why are you here?" Shen Wanrong was stunned, she didn't know when Shen Shuangzhao came here, and she was a little worried that her words would be overheard.

Shen Shuangzhao was calm and composed, without showing any abnormality: "I just came here. Master, I have something to ask."

Shen Wanrong was relieved and motioned for her to say.

"It was indeed Shuang'er's recklessness and impulsiveness that broke into Qingcheng last time, and Shuang'er paid the price for it." If Shen Wanrong hadn't stepped forward, she might have been tortured by Zhao Yueyao, "Master wants to ban my feet." , Shuang'er also accepted. But...but..."

"But what?"

"But tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. After staying in the inner city for so many days, Shuang'er really feels bored..." Shen Shuangzhao's voice became softer as she spoke, and finally she just lowered her head and stopped talking.

Shen Wanrong nodded, with a faint smile on her face, she walked up to Shen Shuangzhao, and took her hand: "Will the wound still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore. The senior sisters have taken good care of me. Especially senior sister Mengxuan, she is so considerate of me." Among the two senior sisters, only Tang Mengxuan has loved her since she was a child. "She came to me just now and wanted me to accompany her. She will go shopping in the street tomorrow night. I wanted to decline her politely, because the master banned my feet, but I really can't resist her request, so I hereby ask the master for mercy, and I hope you will allow me to go up tomorrow night to the street."

"Then what if I don't allow it?" Shen Wanrong raised her eyebrows and asked.

Shen Shuangzhao was startled: "Then Shuang'er can only read and practice calligraphy in the room."

Shen Wanrong looked at her with great interest, and said, "Read books and practice handwriting? If I don't agree, I'm afraid Shuang'er will also sneak out of the city with Mengxuan in the dark, right?"

Shen Shuangzhao's face flushed slightly, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, and said vaguely: "Shuang'er only listens to Master's words..."

"Okay. I'll allow you to leave the inner city tomorrow night, otherwise you'll be over the wall soon after your injury. I really can't bear it. Let Sang Yu go with you, so I can feel more at ease."

Shen Shuangzhao couldn't help being overjoyed, she bowed her hands to Shen Wanrong and said she wanted to leave.Shen Wanrong couldn't stop her, but she was relieved that she finally had something she should have at this age.

------------------------------

"Shuang Zhao, you were injured last time during the Mid-Autumn Festival and missed the feast. Fortunately, you can come out with me to join in the fun during the Lantern Festival." Tang Mengxuan said happily.

"Hmm..." Shen Shuangzhao reluctantly replied, to be honest, she was not keen on such excitement, she just came to the street to fulfill Tang Mengxuan's wish.

The three of them were walking on the busy street, and they were dazzled by the dazzling array of ornaments and all kinds of lantern riddles on the side of the street.

"Shuangzhao, there are people who buy masks there, let's go and have a look." After speaking, Tang Mengxuan dragged Shen Shuangzhao to the front booth, ignoring Sang Yu at all.Sang Yu was holding the sword, not interested in the gadgets and tricks on the street, but followed them calmly.

Tang Mengxuan was choosing the mask with great interest, while Shen Shuangzhao stood quietly by the side, letting her torment herself.Suddenly, it seemed that someone had bumped into him.Shen Shuangzhao turned her head subconsciously, and saw a woman wearing a green peacock mask, with only the lower half of her face exposed, walking past her.

A familiar feeling hit her heart, Shen Shuangzhao wanted to go up to find out, but she heard Tang Mengxuan calling her: "Shuangzhao, you can choose one too."

"Senior Sister, I don't need it." Shen Shuang returned to her senses, and when she looked again, the woman was nowhere to be seen.

Tang Mengxuan gave the peddler a few pennies and took Shen Shuangzhao to the next place. The bell in Shen Shuangzhao's hand was shaken with Tang Mengxuan's movements until it rang.

Lu Qingrong didn't wear a veil this time, but bought a peacock mask to cover her face on a whim.She stopped when she heard the familiar bell, and turned her head to see a familiar figure from behind.

"What's wrong, Miss?" Huan Hong was surprised why Lu Qingrong stopped suddenly.

Lu Qingrong watched the man get farther and farther away from him, paused and walked forward: "It's nothing, let's go, there is no time."

Compliment me please? (‘???`)

☆, mask

"Bang bang bang..." Fang Yi, the clerk of the medicine store, had just closed the door when he heard a knock on the door.He put away the ledger and shouted through the door: "The store is closed."

"Brother, please open the door, my father's old illness has relapsed, and he urgently needs two medicines to save his life."

Hearing the voice, Fang Yi judged that it was a girl outside the door: "Girl, we are already closed, come back tomorrow morning."

"How can my father's sudden illness wait until tomorrow? Little brother, please open the door and sell me the medicine. I can pay double the price." The girl kept knocking on the door and begged, her tone urgent.

"This..." According to the rules set by the boss, when the time comes, the door will be closed and the door will not be opened again.Fang Yi was a little hesitant, wanting to help the girl, but also afraid of being discovered by the boss for violating the rules.

When Fang Yi was in trouble, the boss went downstairs and stood in the middle of the stairs and asked, "Ah Yi, who is outside the door?"

"Uncle Li, it's a girl. She said that her father fell ill and urgently needed to come to my place to buy two medicines to save his life."

Uncle Li thought for a moment, walked to the door alone, and asked cautiously, "Where does the girl live? Who is your father?"

"The little girl lives in Shanshui Lane, and her father's surname is Jing."

Uncle Li stroked his beard, as if he was thinking about something secretly: "Shanshui Lane... so you are the daughter of Lao Jing's family... you are the only one here?"

"Exactly."

Uncle Li still seemed hesitant, his brows knit together in thought for a while, then he went upstairs and motioned for Fang Yi to open the door.

Fang Yi opened the door as he said, and saw Jing Zheng standing in front of the door. He said sympathetically, "Miss Jing, I really made things difficult for you. During the Lantern Festival, it's a good time to go out to the streets, but you came here alone to buy medicine."

Jing Zheng's expression was a little unnatural, and he whispered: "No problem..."

Fang Yi smiled, then turned around and walked into the shop: "Follow me in. Which two medicines do you need?" Before he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his head and neck, and Fang Yi subconsciously lowered his head to see what happened. what.As soon as he lowered his eyes, a cold silver light flashed through his eyes, and the sharp blade was on his neck.

"Jing...Miss Jing..." Fang Yi was almost scared out of his wits, he lost strength in his feet instantly, he leaned on the doorpost to barely let himself collapse on the ground because of his weak legs.

Jing Zheng cried: "I'm sorry, I was also forced... My father was held hostage by them, so I..." Someone was holding a dagger against her waist.

Fang Yi turned his head and saw Lu Qingrong, who was wearing a green peacock mask, pursed her lips and smiled. She was holding a sword, and she could kill herself with just a little force in her hand.

"Uncle Li, go!" Fang Yi suddenly shouted at Uncle Li.Although he didn't know who the person behind him was, and he and Uncle Li didn't have any enemies on weekdays, but facing the sword on his neck, he also knew that the person who came was not good.Uncle Li treats him well on a daily basis. Ten years ago, he was a beggar living on the street. Thanks to Uncle Li who took him in and let him do odd jobs in the pharmacy, he no longer has to live a life of naked clothes and food.Now that he is in danger, he naturally wants to return Uncle Li's kindness.

"Do you think he can run away like this?" The lower half of Lu Qingrong's face was smiling contemptuously. The green peacock mask made her look extraordinarily weird and terrifying.

"Uncle Li, let's go!" Fang Yi shouted.

Uncle Li's eyes flashed unbearably, but he still ran through the back door.

Huan Hong said to Lu Qingrong: "Miss, I'll go after her."

Just as Lu Qingrong was about to answer, Fang Yi took advantage of her distraction to reach for the knife on the counter and stab Lu Qingrong.Before the tip of his knife reached Lu Qingrong's chest, the knife in his hand was knocked to the ground by the beads that popped out from Huanhong's fingertips, and his whole body fell due to the force of the beads.

"Stupid guy." Lu Qingrong twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked at Fang Yi contemptuously and mockingly, "Huan Hong, I will go after this man myself. I want to see how he can escape from my hands." But .When she took a step, she felt someone hugging her leg tightly.

Huan Hong, who was on the sidelines, opened her mouth wide in shock, a clerk from a pharmacy dared to hug Lu Qingrong.

Lu Qingrong sneered, and the strange face under the mask was even more gloomy and cold at the moment: "I didn't want to kill you, but now..." Her red lips were slightly parted, and her eyes were looking forward without focus, as if she was thinking about something.

Fang Yi didn't seem to be afraid at all: "You don't want to hurt Uncle Li." He tightly wrapped his hands around Lu Qingrong's waist, trying to delay her and buy Uncle Li more time to escape.

Lu Qingrong's gaze turned to Fang Yi, who was almost kneeling on the ground, with bloodthirsty cruelty in his eyes: "If you overestimate your capabilities, you will have to pay the price."

After he finished speaking, Fang Yi was thrown several meters away by Lu Qingrong's internal force. He leaned his back against the table leg and spit out several mouthfuls of blood.Fang Yi covered his heart, his eyes were wide open, which made his face look extraordinarily ferocious.

Lu Qingrong leaned over and slowly picked up the knife that fell on the ground.The eyes under the mask were full of seductive light, she smiled: "If I hadn't something important tonight, I would have used this knife to gouge out the flesh of your body one by one until the blood on your body was completely drained. Immediately, she frowned in disgust, and in a blink of an eye, the knife in her hand was inserted into Fang Yi's chest.

Jing Zheng, who was held hostage by Huanhong, looked at Fang Yi, who was dying, and screamed. She almost collapsed, and finally couldn't resist the panic in her heart and passed out.

Lu Qingrong glanced at the fainted Jing Zheng from the corner of her eye, her flirtatious face looked extremely cold against the mask: "Our people are coming soon, Huanhong, you can send someone over later." She walked around the breathless Fang Yi strode towards the back of the house.

------------------------------------

When Chou was approaching, all the people on the street had dispersed, leaving only traces left after the excitement.

There was already no one in the dark alley, and water accumulated in the deep and shallow pits on the ground, reflecting the moonlight in fragments. "Pa..." The small pit was stepped on by someone, and several water splashed up.

Uncle Li didn't care about his shoes that had already been soaked in water, and kept running forward.Before reaching the end of the alley, Uncle Li stopped.

"Shen Wanrong must have never imagined that one of her husband-killing enemies has lived incognito under her nose for more than ten years." Lu Qingrong stood proudly in front, with the moonlight behind her back, making it difficult for Uncle Li to see her appearance clearly.

Uncle Li was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat: "Who are you?"

Lu Qingrong avoided talking about his question, and said straight: "I just want to know the secret of 'Qinglong'."

"You also know 'Qinglong'?" Uncle Li's voice trembled, "Could it be...you are from Zhao Yueyao?"

"Who wants to have anything to do with her?"

"It's not Zhao Yueyao..." Uncle Li looked and thought for a while, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He found out the clue from Lu Qingrong, "Lu Yuanzheng! You are Lu Yuanzheng's daughter!"

"Ah..." Lu Qingrong seemed very satisfied with his answer, her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, "It seems that the general has a good memory, and he can still remember me as a girl back then."

Knowing her identity, Uncle Li naturally knew that Lu Qingrong would not let him go, so he turned around and ran back.

Lu Qingrong was not in a hurry to chase him, and let him scurry around like a frightened mouse.

Not long after, Lu Qingrong's people who came to support met Uncle Li.

Uncle Li had no choice but to fight the four men in black to save his life.It's a pity that Uncle Li was forced to catch him without a few moves.

The two men suppressed Uncle Li, waiting for Lu Qingrong to walk slowly.

Lu Qingrong walked up to Uncle Li who was kneeling on the ground, used his sword to forcibly lift Uncle Li's chin, and said sarcastically: "I think back then, the general was so majestic, who would have thought that after the general was deprived of his internal strength, he would be so powerful now?" To be forced to kneel at the feet of a woman like me. It's unbelievable."

Uncle Li struggled to no avail, so he could only stare at Lu Qingrong angrily: "If you want to kill me, stop talking nonsense. As for the secret of 'Qinglong', I will definitely not tell you."

"Hahahahahaha..." Lu Qingrong smiled charmingly and evilly, "Kill you? Why should I kill you? My Lu Qingrong's best way is not to kill people."

She threw the sword to her subordinates, and put her hands behind her back: "It's okay if you don't want to tell me the secret of 'Qinglong', I have plenty of ways to make you open your mouth. Tortured to death, so as to make an end to the crimes my father suffered back then."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Qingrong waved his sleeves, and Uncle Li fell to the ground slumped under her fascination.

"Keep an eye on him, we'll go back to the city overnight." Lu Qingrong's eyes turned cold, and his expression became serious again, "Remember, if he runs away, you will never survive!"

"Yes!"

Taking advantage of the night, several men took away the unconscious man.Lu Qingrong was still in place, after a moment's pause, she lowered her eyes, and then pulled off the peacock mask on her face.

The faint moonlight shone over, only illuminating half of Lu Qingrong's side face.Although only half of her face can be seen, the almost perfect profile of her side face has already revealed her alluring beauty in advance.Her face is as fair as jade, her nose is straight, her eyebrows are like willows, her red lips are slightly parted, her eyes are sometimes charming and enchanting, and sometimes they are like a pool of clear water.It was these eyes that made her coquettish and pretty face look a bit spiritual.

Lu Qingrong raised her eyelids, her long and curly eyelashes fluttered upwards, and her eyes were captivating as they flicked around.After she took off the mask, she loosened her hand and the mask fell to the ground.She put her veil back on, and disappeared into the night without a lingering long.

---------------------------------------------

Early the next morning, the clerk of Li's pharmacy died tragically in the store, and the news that the owner of the pharmacy disappeared without a trace spread throughout the city.At the same time, the Jing family, who lives in Shanshui Lane, lost their daughter, and the common people also got involved in the murder case of the Li family medicine store.

The police searched the pharmacy for a long time but found no useful clues, but found a peacock mask in an alley not far from Li's pharmacy.And found that there were signs of a fight in that alley.

Because the law and order in Shuilan City is usually good, there are very few such murders, and this matter quickly spread to the inner city of Shuilan City.Even Shen Wanrong was discussing this matter with the ministers.

"Peacock mask?" After Shen Shuangzhao heard about it, she thought of the woman who passed her by on the street last night.She always felt that something was wrong, the woman gave her a very familiar and strange feeling...

"Shuang'er knows about the mask?" Shen Wanrong asked.

Shen Shuangzhao truthfully told Shen Wanrong what happened last night.

"Since this is the case, Shuang'er will go out of the city with Mr. Zhang who is in charge of the case. See if he can help and find some clues." Shen Wanrong said.

"Shuang'er obeys."

The author has something to say: I really want to have a weekend without updates (?°?°?)

☆, scare

"Miss Shen, this is the mask I found in this alley this morning." Master Zhang handed the mask to Shen Shuangzhao.

Shen Shuangzhao took the mask, staring at the lines on the mask in a daze.Why did she feel familiar with the person she passed by last night?She obviously didn't even see the man's appearance clearly.

"Miss Shen, do you have any impression of the owner of the mask?"

Shen Shuang said: "Senior sister Mengxuan and I went to buy a mask last night, and I just had a face-to-face meeting with the owner of this mask." She paused for a while, thinking about the two holes on the mask for exposing eyes.She closed her eyes, trying to recall what that person looked like.That person's eyes and appearance were very familiar last night, but it was difficult to remember where he had seen her before...

In fact, she didn't see the man's face clearly, not to mention that the man was wearing a mask covering half of his face.half face?Shen Shuangzhao opened her eyes suddenly, she remembered.

is her!That woman surnamed Lu!

In Qingcheng, Shen Shuangzhao fought against that person more than once.It can be said that he was controlled by her almost the whole time.From the beginning when she was drugged, to when she led herself out of the bamboo forest, to when she was seriously injured in the end, everything had a lot to do with that woman.The ridiculous thing is that the two met many times, and I didn't even know the other's name. I only knew the other's surname was Lu when I heard the guards call her "Miss Lu".

Shen Shuangzhao remembered that the woman had been wearing a veil to cover the lower half of her face, but the woman she met last night was just the opposite, covering the upper half of her face with a mask.So I feel familiar and strange.

Even so, but recalling it now, the eyes under that man's mask have never changed.Coquettish, charming, and that trace of banter that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.You can't be wrong, the person I met last night was indeed that guy surnamed Lu.

"Master Zhang, can you take me to see the dead fellow?" Shen Shuang asked.

Master Zhang brought Shen Shuangzhao to the scene of the crime, Fang Yi's body was already wrapped in a straw mat.

"Miss Shen, you... do you really want to see it?" Master Zhang hesitated, "This fellow died a terrible death, I'm afraid that you are a girl..."

Shen Shuangzhao nodded: "It's okay. I can bear it."

Seeing her insistence, Mr. Zhang waved his hand to signal his subordinates to lift the straw mat.Although Shen Shuangzhao thought she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked when she saw Fang Yi's death.

Fang Yi did not rest in peace, his eyes were wide open, the corners of his mouth were covered with dried blood, and his face was extremely ferocious.

"Miss Shen?" Seeing that Shen Shuangzhao's eyes widened in horror and she was in a daze, Master Zhang couldn't help worrying about her.

Shen Shuangzhao looked away, Fang Yi's tragic death was still lingering in his heart: "Is his fatal injury the knife in the chest?"

"At first glance, it looks like this. Before he died, his meridians were shattered."

"The meridian was shattered? It seems that the murderer should be a master with deep inner strength." Shen Shuangzhao deduced according to his words.

Master Zhang nodded: "This is only our preliminary inference. The specific cause of death will not be confirmed until the autopsy is done."

Shen Shuangzhao frowned unbearably, Fang Yi was very sympathetic and compassionate.She walked over and squatted down beside him.

"Miss Shen..." Mr. Zhang knew that she was the most beloved disciple of the city lord, and if the city lord knew about letting her approach the dead body, he would be punished severely.

Shen Shuangzhao's eyes turned hot, and he shook his head with his back turned to Mr. Zhang.She stretched out her hand tremblingly and closed her eyes for Fang Yi.

The pharmacist's death was so tragic, which made Shen Shuangzhao more certain that it was Lu Qingrong's hands.I have seen a bit of that woman's cruelty.Shen Shuangzhao lowered her head, her eyes fell on the mask, her mind was full of Lu Qingrong's evil appearance.

Master Zhang asked: "Miss Shen, does Miss Shen have any clues?"

Shen Shuangzhao stood up, still holding the mask in her hand: "The only thing I can be sure of is that I saw the person wearing the same mask last night, it was a woman. As for whether this mask was left behind by her, and whether she just killed this guy I don't have any solid evidence for the murderer."

Although she felt in her heart that it was most likely Lu Qingrong's hand, but this was only based on her intuition and experience.Besides, there were a lot of the same masks sold on the street last night, maybe someone else left them accidentally.It's about human life, it's better to be more cautious, let Master Zhang investigate and investigate before drawing conclusions.
