Lost Charm

Xu Qin has practiced in prison for two days. If he is asked what he thinks about Yu Chijiong now, he will only give three words: behead him!

Without him, learning knives in such a narrow environment, coupled with Yu Chijiong who is extremely enthusiastic about teaching, Xu Qin is not only physically exhausted, but also mentally exhausted.He once suspected that Qu Moao had educated Yu Chijiong in this way before, and now that students become teachers, they naturally follow suit and develop their ability to torment students.

When Yu Chijiong knocked down Xu Qin for the thousand and one thousandth time, he finally showed mercy and let Xu Qin rest for a while.

"It's not bad. It's much better than when I just took the knife. At least it looks good now." The guards will come to patrol occasionally, and they will give a few pointers when they see Xu Qin.He also considerately transferred the prisoners from several nearby cells to other cells, as long as Yu Chijiong and Xu Qin didn't make too much noise.

"Then how many moves can I block now?" Xu Qin asked.

"At the beginning, I could kill you with one knife. Now, because of your hard work, I can let you kill you twice." The guard consciously said very encouraging words.

Isn't it just that he was still beheaded with a knife, is there a difference?The corners of Xu Qin's eyes twitched, only feeling the other party's malice rather than kindness.

"After all, I'm still a rookie. Xu Qin, this can't be accomplished overnight." Yuchi coughed and successfully attracted Xu Qin's attention.He thought that Zuoqin hadn't complained to him in the past two days, but that his eyes occasionally leaked a little dissatisfaction, and he comforted him: "It doesn't matter, you can dance to the sound of chickens, so you can get up early and practice with Ning Baihu."

Is Ning Baihu still in the palace, Xu Qin glanced at Yu Chijiong angrily.He knew that Yu Chijiong taught him out of good intentions. After all, he had the lowest force value in the entire underworld. After all, he was trained from a young age, and he joined midway because of his physique.Although he has the confidence to shoot the monster to death, if the opponent's force value is similar to that of the black shadow that attacked Yuchi's mansion that night, he can only lie down and be killed by the opponent.

Thinking of this, Xu Qin regained strength and said, "Yichi Qianhu, it's okay to bid, let's continue."

A smile flashed across Yu Chijiong's eyes, he knew that Xu Qin would not fail to understand his painstaking efforts, and said with a smile: "I will not show mercy."

Xu Qin waved the wooden stick, and said seriously: "You don't need to show mercy to Yuchi Qianhu."

In fact, he didn't need to care about how to face Yu Chijiong at all, after all, he had already spent most of his energy and strength just dealing with the newly learned how to use the Xiuchun Knife, and those small emotions in his heart had long been left out of his mind and completely forgotten.

After practicing for a whole day, Yu Chi saw Xu Qin working so hard, so he rarely let him go, announcing that he could rest after dinner and no longer need to swing the knife.But they didn't rest long at night, just when Xu Qin was going to sleep early, He Tong came.

Her complexion was not very good, she was as shrewd as Yu Chijiong and immediately shut up, he did what she said without a trace of resistance, it would be difficult to explain if He Tong burned this place for a while.Seeing that Yuchi was silent, Xu Qin naturally followed.

"The formalities have been completed. Now you follow me back to Beizhen Fusi." He Tong looked around the prison, his eyes fell on the two sticks, and said, "Is there nothing to take away?"

"No." Xu Qinbo said without hesitation.

A faint smile flashed across He Tong's eyes, she didn't know the purpose of the wooden stick, she just asked casually: "Okay, let's go."

In fact, looking at He Tong's face, he knew it was not a good thing, but it didn't make sense to let the two of them go out before the incident was over, so Yu Chijiong couldn't help asking: "Is the matter resolved?"

He Tong paused, and said, "Let's talk when we go back."

Yu Chijiong took a deep look at her, and had to go back to Beizhen Fusi to say that the situation was extremely bad.

Back at the Underworld, the two changed into the clothes that He Tong had prepared early in the morning, and Yu Chijiong said, "Tell me, what's the matter."

He Tong's face was still so ugly: "Xiao Jiguang has been attacked."

Yuchi Jiong was shocked and said, "What's going on!"

He Tong sighed and said, "Calm down first, Xiao Mingming is watching him, and his injuries are not serious."

Xu Qin always felt that he was a newcomer who couldn't speak, so he mostly just listened to it and didn't talk about it on these occasions, but now he couldn't bear it anymore and said, "When did you get hurt? He was fine when I saw him yesterday morning."

He Tong glanced at Xu Qin, then at Yu Chijiong, and said in a low voice, "Last night...that idiot, he bumped into him on purpose, just to get you out."

Yu Chijiong's face turned dark immediately, but fortunately his rationality was still there. Knowing that this matter should not be publicized, he could only lower his voice: "It's not enough to go with Xu Qin!"

He Tong shook his head, and began to narrate the whole thing: "You don't know how far things have gone, Xiao Jiguang's bitter trick is the best way to cut through the mess."

"The news of Master Chi and Third Young Master Chi's unconsciousness spread quickly. Although Ye Heng had already said that his soul had disappeared, his identity in the embroidered clothes was hidden. Therefore, those literati felt that the words of a mage were not credible. It was confirmed that someone was poisoned, and the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice came to the door soon. Xiao Mingming wanted to train Xiao Jiguang, and he only asked Ye Heng to follow him as a mage. As if we didn't find something."

Yu Chijiong's eyes darkened, and he only mentioned two families: "Chi's family."

He Tong sneered, and said: "They actually think that the embroidered clothes have been pressed on their heads because of Chi Dashi. With a son like you, Chi Dashi will only let what embroidered do. The willingness to live with Xiu Yi is only for the sake of Grand Master Chi. If he falls like this, it will not only be a bad thing for them, but even a good thing."

Yu Chijiong's tone was as cold as ice: "I don't believe that the other great scholars didn't intervene. Xu Qin, look at this is the officialdom. If you fail, other people would like to step on you a few more times."

Xu Qin focused his attention on Qian Jiguang's injury, and asked, "Then what happened to Qian Baihu?"

He Tong rubbed his temples, and said: "Xiao Jiguang found out that someone was following him, so he resorted to tricks, released rumors of the incident that had been investigated, and held conclusive evidence. Those people wanted to use force to obtain 'evidence' from him, Xiao Jiguang After being intentionally stabbed, Xiao Mingming did some tricks and threw the matter on the head of a senior scholar, telling your majesty that that person first poisoned the senior scholar Chi, and then attacked the embroidered clothes, which is to divert the attention of others Xiao Mingming asked the emperor to release you to investigate the case personally on the grounds of "the deep love between father and son". After all, you were in prison when Xiao Jiguang was injured, and you have an alibi."

Yuchi Jiong said in a deep voice, "The emperor won't believe it."

He Tong's tone was full of exhaustion: "Your majesty only needs an excuse to let you out. Xiao Jiguang is injured, Ye Heng cannot reveal his identity, and I am the only one left in the dark. It is about important court officials, and the emperor will not rest assured that a monster will investigate. , I can only let you out, and Xiao Qinqin is by the way. This is what happened in the past three days."

Xu Qin suddenly said: "Can a person who lost his soul survive for so long?"

He Tong felt a headache when he thought of this, he hugged his head and said, "Ye Heng said that it can be guaranteed for up to five days, no more."

Yu Chijiong was silent for a while, then said seriously: "Are you sure it's not about monsters?"

"If there is really a monster involved, then he must have used a talisman to seal the monster so that I can't detect it." He Tong suddenly stood up in the middle of speaking, looked for a while at the top of Qian Jiguang's table, and took After passing a few official documents, I handed them to Xu Qin and Yu Chijiong, "Look, this is the list of gifts and gifts that you visited the Chi Mansion that day. Everything that everyone gave is listed in it. It was Xiao Jiguang who finally came from the Chi Mansion. Snatch it over here, now those people are worried that we will settle accounts after the fall."

Yu Chijiong took the list of visitors, and expressed his opinion indifferently: "If I knew this, I wouldn't have given them such expensive gifts at the beginning. I thought I wouldn't know if I didn't write down the embroidered clothes? Qian Jiguang was injured, and Meng Yingming would not let them go even if he died." of."

He Tong gloated and laughed: "When you came in just now, didn't you think Beizhen Fusi was still very bright? Xiao Mingming gave the order, and now the other embroidered clothes are busy grabbing the pigtails of the officials to ensure that they will drink enough in the future It's a pot."

Xu Qin took the rest of the gift book. It was true that the gifts given by some officials were unusually thick. Even he, who was not familiar with official communication, could see that something was wrong. No wonder they panicked and focused on Qian Jiguang.

"So who attacked Qian Baihu?" Xu Qin asked.

"It can't be found out. Those people are all dead soldiers. After all, it is definitely worse than death in the hands of Xiu Yi. It is not easy for Xiao Mingming to get this matter on the head of the Grand Scholar. Many times we can only I think I'm unlucky." He Tong patted Xu Qin's shoulder, and said in a deep and deep voice.

Xu Qin nodded thoughtfully, and soon turned his attention to the gift list. He read it seriously, and didn't even hear the conversation between Yu Chijiong and He Tong.After turning two or three pages, his eyes paused on one of the columns, and something was wrong in his heart.

"Imitation marble chess... There is no gift giver." Xu Qin muttered to himself, but he didn't know that Yu Chijiong and He Tong happened to be drinking tea with dry mouths, so they listened to the words verbatim.

"What do you mean?" Yu Chijiong leaned his head over.

"Each gift is marked with who gave it, but this chess piece doesn't. I find it a little strange." Seeing that Yu Chijiong's face didn't change, Xu Qin thought that he might have made a fuss, and added: "Maybe it fell out of other gifts. It is inconvenient for the servants to register."

"No, if the servants of the Chi Mansion can't even do this well, then there's no need to continue." Yu Chijiong touched his chin, his Danfeng eyes raised slightly, the calculating look made Xu Qin subconsciously sit upright.

"What time is it now?" Yu Chijiong asked He Tong with his head turned.

"It's four quarters of the Hai hour." He Tong guessed what Yu Chijiong wanted to do, so he made a suggestion: "This is just a start, it's not a big deal, you will only attract attention if you break through the door now."

The corner of Yuchijiong's mouth curled into a mocking smile, he stood up indifferently, and said, "Didn't you say 'father and son love deeply'? It makes sense for a son to visit his father as soon as he is released from prison."

He Tong also stood up and rolled his eyes, "I don't usually see you so 'filial'."

"Student Chi really fell down like this, and it's never good for Xiuyi. This matter can't wait any longer. If it's going to be the fifth day, people may not be rescued."

The filial Yuchijiong said so.
