lead fades away

"He betrayed you, you didn't kill him, but went to kill his younger brother?" Qingshi raised her hand angrily, wanting to give Xinyi a slap in the face, but remembered that she was injured and had just had a miscarriage, so she had to hold her hand He took it back forcibly, and was about to reprimand him a few more words, but the sound of boiling water came from behind him.

Qing Shi hurriedly turned around to take care of the decoction. Seeing that there was no problem with the heat, he turned off the fire, took the medicine pot off the stove, poured the decoction inside into a porcelain bowl, and brought it back to Xinyi, "Drink it, nourish Qi and blood of."

At this moment, Xinyi's mood has stabilized again, she didn't ask more about the origin of the medicine, and she didn't want to die. She took the porcelain bowl and drank the bitter medicine Gululu in one gulp.

Qingshi took back the porcelain bowl with satisfaction, put it back on the table, and asked Xinyi, "What do you plan to do in the future?"

"I don't know, I didn't expect at all... that I could come out alive." Xinyi shook her head, losing the energy she had just now, and her voice became weaker and weaker.

Qingshi pondered for a while, and said, "You should rest here with peace of mind, and think about your own future by the way. I can help you for a while, but I can't help you forever. There are some things that you have to face by yourself."

"I understand." Xinyi managed to squeeze out a smile.

"That's the best," Qingshi nodded, and turned his gaze to the mattress under Xinyi's body that was soaked and was about to drip blood on the ground, "That, on your body, no, the... blood..."

"I'll clean it up myself." Xinyi lowered her head.

"Can you do it yourself?" Qing Shi hesitated.

Xinyi didn't respond, but her attitude was very obvious.Qingshi is not in the habit of chasing her to help others. Seeing her like this, she took out two quilts and a set of men's clothes from her treasure bag and put them on the chair next to her, "Then you can come by yourself, I will go out first. , if you have something to call me, if you don’t have the strength to shout, just throw something on the ground.”

"En." Xinyi forced herself to smile at Qingshi again.

Qing Shi stopped talking, turned around and left the wing room, looked up and saw Hao Wen sitting on a chair in the main hall, he didn't even leave the room.

——By the way, right now, his consciousness is limited, so he won't be able to eavesdrop when he goes out.

Qing Shi curled his lips, closed the door of the side room behind his back, walked up to Hao Wen, and asked, "Did you hear everything?"

Hao Wen nodded, and said in a low voice, "This girl doesn't look stupid at all, how can she do anything stupid!"

"Why don't you say that the way of heaven is ruthless? When there is love, there are demons." Qing Shi also sighed, and couldn't help but think of the experience of Wuyou and Han Shuo back then.

"What are you going to do with her? You won't just keep her by your side?" Hao Wen asked tentatively.

Qingshi didn't answer, just stared at Hao Wen intently, and soon saw Hao Wen's scalp numb.

"...You're not trying to trick me, are you?" Hao Wen frowned sensitively.

Qing Shi smiled slightly, "I heard that the Jiuliu Order can allow the giver to accomplish a thing within his ability for the holder?"

Hao Wen twitched the corner of his mouth and asked reluctantly, "What do you want me to do?"

"Save her to the end, try to find a place for her to stay." Qing Shi said.

Hao Wen didn't answer immediately, he tapped on the armrest and thought for a while before saying, "It's easy to find a place for her, but the question is, is she willing to go?"

"Of course I will ask her opinion first." Qing Shi said, "Of course, you won't be allowed to raise her for the rest of her life. When she recovers, you can throw her out to fend for herself."

"...This is your way of saving people to the end?" Hao Wen was speechless.

"Rescuing her alive and sending her out alive isn't enough?" Qing was puzzled, then shrugged, "Well, if you are willing to raise her for the rest of your life, I won't object."

Hao Wen was completely speechless.

After waiting outside for about a cup of tea, Qing Shi returned to the wing room and saw that Xinyi had indeed replaced the blood-stained bedding, and the new bedding was also very clean, as if Xinyi had stopped the bleeding on her own.

Qing Shi was a little curious about how Xinyi did it, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't have the nerve to ask, and only brought up his idea of ​​wanting her to hide in the Jiuliumeng's territory for a while.

Xinyi was silent for a while, and then said, "What are the requirements for joining the Jiuliu League?"

Qing Shi couldn't help being taken aback, "Do you want to join the Jiuliu League?"

Xinyi nodded.

Qingshi quickly understood Xinyi's thoughts.Although she also loves freedom, she is a genuine low-level monk after all, and she is a woman, so it is too difficult to be a thorough casual cultivator.Now that there is another terrible enemy, it will be really difficult to get along in the upper realm without finding a big tree that can provide shade.

"Wait." Qing Shi turned around, called Hao Wen in from the outside, and explained Xinyi's intention to join the Nine Liu League.

Hao Wen was noncommittal, looked at Xinyi a few times, then turned to Qingshi and said, "This time I have to ask you to go out for a while."

"If he behaves badly to you, he will yell loudly." Qing Shi winked at Xin Yi, then turned and left the wing.

Qing Shi did not hide in the next door to eavesdrop like Hao Wen did, but went straight out of the house and started wandering in the yard.

The inn was still silent, and there were no people in the surrounding yards, but the place that Qingshi regarded as the entrance to the underground palace had changed, and the direction of the surrounding aura was obviously different from before.

Qing Shi was slightly taken aback, and immediately remembered that Hao Wen would never come in from the main entrance of the inn with Xin Yi on his back, and at this moment, the Jinbi City could not fly with an imperial weapon, so Hao Wen could only go back to the yard directly from the underground palace, and that It's probably where he came from.

——This inn is also the lair of the Nine Liumeng?

I couldn't help but doubt it.

Before Qingshi could continue his daydream, Hao Wen had already walked out of the room.

"It's settled?" Qing Shi raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Yeah." Hao Wen nodded, walked up to Qingshi, stretched out his hand and said, "I'll send her away after the city opens, you can return the Jiuliu Ling to me first."

Qing Shi curled his lips, turned his hands and took out the Jiuliu Ling, and handed it to Hao Wen.

Hao Wen took the token, looked at it reluctantly for a few times before putting it away, then raised his head and said to Qingshi, "Actually, it's not worth it to trade this token for her safety."

"So what?" Qing Shi tilted his head and asked disapprovingly.

"You can ask me for more." Hao Wen stared into Qingshi's eyes and said seriously.

Qing Shi smiled, raised his hand and patted Hao Wen's shoulder, "Well, let's do a fair deal."

After finishing speaking, Qing Shi turned around and went back to the house alone.

Qingshi thought that Han Shuo would come back to look for him soon, but after a day and a night, Han Shuo still didn't show up, but some relatively low-level monks came back one after another from the surrounding courtyards, and all of them had different expressions. Very happy, apparently trapped in the underground palace for a long time, but found nothing.

Perhaps Hao Wen's handling of the aftermath was in place. Although the remaining grandson of the Shen family's foundation-building period returned to the Xiankelai Inn with a gloomy face that afternoon, he never expected that they would want to The enemy they wanted to kill was very close to them, they just went straight into their own yard and never came out to show their faces again.

On the contrary, Hao Wen still urged Qing Shi to say a few words from time to time, trying to lure him to go to the underground palace to watch the fun, but Qing Shi ignored it, and he was not in a hurry, he just leisurely soaked in the yard with Qing Shi to kill time.

In the early morning of the next day, Qing Shi had just boiled the soup for Xinyi, and before he took it off the stove, there was the sound of someone breaking into the yard.

Xinyi on the bed immediately sat up in surprise, and Qingshi quickly walked to the window, opened a gap in the window, glanced out, immediately relaxed, closed the window nonchalantly, turned around and took the soup from the stove He moved it up and down, poured it into a bowl, and brought it to Xinyi.

"What's wrong outside?" Xinyi took the medicine bowl and asked suspiciously.

"An acquaintance is here. I'll go out to meet you. Don't worry." After Qing Shi finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the wing.

It was Han Shuo who made Qingshi wait all day and night to break into the yard.Because he forgot to ask for the specific address when he sent Qing Shi back yesterday, he could only force the clerk in the inn to take him to find the masked monk.The guy didn't dare to disobey, but when he arrived at the door, he made a loud noise on purpose.So, when Qingshi took care of Xinyi and walked into the main hall, Hao Wen was already blocking the door of the main hall, preventing Han Shuo from letting him in.

"Did Han Zhenjun go to the wrong place? This is not where your Xianchumen live." Hao Wen smiled, but his words were very rude.

Han Shuo didn't lose his temper and didn't say anything, he just put his hands behind his back and looked at Hao Wen with a sneer.

Qingshi wanted to watch the excitement for a while, but he was afraid that the two people would really disagree with each other, so he coughed lightly, pushed open the door, and said, "Hao Xianjun, let Han Zhenjun come in! Even as a guest, it is too impolite for you to turn people away like this!"

The moment Qingshi pushed the door, Hao Wen's smile froze immediately, but immediately returned to normal. When he heard Qingshi invite Han Shuo to enter the door, he had completely changed back to a cynical and carefree appearance. , raised his hand and said, "My darling is right, I was rude, Han Zhenjun don't take offense, please come in, please come in."

Now it was Han Shuo's turn to change his face, he raised his head and glared at Qingshi.

Qing Shi shrugged calmly, and said calmly, "Look at me, you can't make Wangshuo speak human words, can you?"

"That's true." Han Shuo immediately raised the corner of his mouth, glanced sideways at Hao Wen, and walked into the main hall.

Hao Wen curled his lips and followed indifferently.

After Qingshi invited Han Shuo into the seat, he sat down directly opposite him, without pouring tea or water for him, and even ignored Hao Wen who followed in.

Hao Wen couldn't help but say, "My dear, don't be so stingy that you don't even pour a cup of tea for Han Zhenjun!"

"With you here, I don't dare to give people something to eat." Qing very bluntly returned Hao Wen's eyes, then turned to Han Shuo and said, "Why did Han Zhenjun come at this time? Could it be that something happened in the underground palace below?" ?”

Han Shuo didn't hide anything, and said frankly in front of Hao Wen, "Yin Takize of the Pill Sect found a secret room with complicated restrictions, and it was difficult to open it with their strength alone. It took some time."

"It's already opened? It won't be another empty room, right?" Qing Shi asked casually.

"Not yet." Han Shuo shook his head and said, "But in order not to hurt the inside of the secret room, the remaining part can only be cracked slowly. you."

While listening to Han Shuo's words, Qing Shi subconsciously glanced at Hao Wen beside him out of the corner of his eye. He didn't see any abnormality, but because of this, he showed strangeness instead.

——Not surprised at all, it seems that the existence of this secret room has also been known to the Jiuliu League for a long time.

Qing Shi understood, and continued to ask Han Shuo what he had seen and heard in the underground palace.

Hao Wen didn't interrupt anymore, just sat silently by the side, staring at the two of them with strange expressions.

Han Shuo didn't stay here for too long, he only stayed for a cup of tea and got up to leave.

——Just for a while, what are you doing here?

Qing Shi slandered him in his heart, but he didn't say anything to persuade him to stay, he just got up and sent him to the entrance of the main hall.

"I'll come back to see you when the matter is completely settled." Standing at the entrance of the main hall, Han Shuo reached out and hugged Qingshi into his arms as he spoke. Touched the cheek under Qingshi's mask, then turned around, opened the door and left.

During the whole process, Hao Wen sat on the chair next to him and didn't get up, and Han Shuo didn't even look at him.

Seeing Han Shuo leave the courtyard, Hao Wen finally couldn't hold back and said, "When did you two reunite?"

"It hasn't been broken in the first place, so where does the word 'heavy' come from?" Qing Shi closed the door and said calmly.

"Come on! Why did you run out from Xiantrumen!" Hao Wen frowned, grinding his teeth and said, "Don't you have a private meeting with him in a corner when I was looking for you in the underground palace Bar?"

"I won't give you a reward if you answer correctly, why are you so serious?" Qing Shi smiled at Hao Wen, turned and walked into Xinyi's recovery room.

Xinyi had already finished drinking the decoction at this moment, and her energy was much better than the day before. Seeing Qingshi coming in, she immediately asked hesitantly, "Is it Elder Han Shuohan who came here just now?"

"Yes." Qing Shi responded casually, and put away the medicine bowl and utensils for boiling medicine.

"Elder Han... Could it be that he didn't recognize you?" Xinyi asked tentatively.

"Do you think it's possible?" Qing Shi chuckled lightly, "There's no need to guess, he and I have the kind of relationship you think, and the reason why he came to me has a lot to do with this matter—or, you Why do you think he is looking for me?"

"I thought you stole Xiantrumen's treasure and then ran away." Xinyi sighed.

——Uh, a woman's intuition is indeed terrifying.

——Speaking of which, Han Shuo never mentioned the matter of Wuxia Wonderland, and he didn't know when he was going to settle accounts with him.

Qingshi twitched the corners of his mouth, raised his hand and gave Xinyi the nod that he wanted to give a long time ago, "You, learn a little bit! Otherwise, even if you meet another man you like in the future, you will still be dumped! "

"I can't learn this kind of thing anymore. From now on, I will continue to imitate Fairy Fengxi and never mess with that lover again." Xinyi rubbed her head and said half-jokingly.

"You can't imitate my aunt, her old man lived in the green bushes, not a single leaf touched her body." Qing Shi curled her lips and said, "There are countless high-ranking monks who admire my aunt in Xiantrumen alone, And you, who have you ever admired?"

"Really? Who's there?" Xinyi immediately began to gossip, and asked with bright eyes.

"Yo Yo Yo, I haven't officially entered the door of the Jiuliu League yet, so I'm starting to inquire about things!" Qingshi rolled her eyes back, "If you want to know, just ask yourself, I won't tell you!"

Xinyi laughed a few times, but she didn't give up, and continued to ask questions persistently.

Qingshi chatted a few words with Xinyi, and the soothing ingredients in the soup took effect.Xinyi quickly fell asleep on the bed, Qingshi helped her cover the thin quilt, got up and left the wing.

Hao Wen was still sitting in the main hall, but his sitting posture was not as good as before, he leaned on the back of the chair, his legs were turned up, and when he saw Qing Shi coming out, he squinted and sneered, "You are far more patient with her than with me. "

"I always like women more than men." Qing Shi replied bluntly.

"Since you prefer women, why do you have to hang out with a big man like Han Shuo?" Hao Wen raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I've said it before, time, fate, and luck." Qing Shi shrugged indifferently.

"But, I'm almost impatient." Hao Wen narrowed his eyes and said word by word.

Qing Shi curled his lips and said pointedly, "Actually, when people face things, they always have two choices. One is to advance and the other is to retreat. There is no need to go all the way to the dark."

"So, with Han Shuo, you are only advancing by retreating?" Hao Wen asked in response.

——I really want to get rid of it, at least, I really thought so at the time.

Qingshi thought about it, but didn't explain it that way. He just shrugged and replied casually, "Whatever you think, that's what you think. Anyway, I don't care."

"Don't you care?" Hao Wen raised the corner of his mouth, opened his crossed legs and stood up from the chair, but before he could make any further movements, there was the sound of wood being pecked on the window lattice of the main hall. .

Hao Wen couldn't care less immediately, walked quickly to the window lattice, and stretched out his hand to open the window.

A small bird with black feathers and red beak flew in from the window immediately, and landed on Hao Wen's raised finger.

——News from the Nine Streams League?

Qingshi looked at it curiously, but didn't see Hao Wen take anything from the bird's body. He only felt that his face seemed to have changed, and his expression was also a little bad.

"Something happened in the underground palace." Hao Wen said without waiting for Qing Shi to ask.

Qingshi was taken aback, but immediately remembered that Han Shuo had just left here. According to the speed, at most he had just entered the underground palace at the moment, and even if something happened inside, it would not affect him.

"What happened?" Qing Shi immediately asked calmly.

"Human life." Hao Wen pursed his lips tightly, let the bird out of the window, then turned his head and said to Qing Shi, "I have to go there, you can go there with me, or stay here and wait for news."

"I'll stay and wait for news." Qing Shi shrugged.

"Then stay in the house and don't go out." Hao Wen's face became more and more gloomy while speaking, "I'm afraid there will be chaos outside."

Hearing what he said, Qing Shi couldn't help frowning, but before he had time to ask more, Hao Wen had already opened the door and walked out.

—what happened?

Seeing Hao Wen leave so eagerly, Qing Shi couldn't help hesitating.
