ink blade

Thinking about the past, Chu Yan couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

Between him and Mo Ren, there used to be that kind of teenage years when they opened their hearts and protected each other.

Perhaps it was because his memory was really not very good, but when Bai Hua came, those good days were gradually worn out in his memory.

Xu Mingxi, who was walking in front of him, stopped, and Chu Yan raised his head, he had already arrived at the place.

The Shuijing Tower is the tallest building in this small town, with glazed tiles, mahogany carvings, square eaves and brackets.It's not like the forces of the rivers and lakes, but it looks like an exquisite small building.The four guards below all bent down and clasped their fists to salute when they saw Xu Mingxi.

Xu Mingxi raised his hand in a salute, and said in a gentle voice, "Please inform the owner of Shuijing, and say that the Lord Chu of the Jiuzhong Hall has arrived."

Having said that, he didn't wait for the reply from the notification, and said "Hall Master, please", and led the people to go in, and the guard disciples did not stop him.

Ying Yu whispered harshly: "Hall Master Mingcha! You see, this Xu Mingxi is in the same group as Shuijinglou."

Chu Yan Mo Ren had a tacit understanding, exchanged glances, and at the same time thought to himself, it is rumored that the senior brother of the Xuyang Sword Sect has an unusual relationship with the owner of Shuijing, it seems that it is really groundless, the two are at least very close friends.

After the four of them walked a few steps in, a maid greeted them and led the way, "The master of Shuijing is already waiting for you in the inner hall, please."

The four of them followed the maid into the inner hall again, and saw a graceful man in purple sitting upright, holding a sip of tea, showing a wrist like white snow.Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he felt that his aura was extraordinary.

When they came a few steps closer, the man also stood up leisurely and turned his face around, Chu Yan and the three couldn't help being surprised.

——What a beauty!

"Shui Miao'er in Shuijinglou, waiting for the Lord Chu for a long time."

The owner of Shuijing has picturesque features, exquisite and graceful figure, and she is actually a stunning beauty. She smiled at Chu Yan and the others softly, "Little girl, please forgive me for my sins."

"Lord of Shuijing, I have admired you for a long time." Chu Yan nodded and bowed in return.He did not expect that the owner of Shuijing, who has been mysteriously seeing no outsiders all year round, is such a charming and beautiful woman.

It's just...the power in the Jianghu of Evergreen City is mixed and chaotic, and a woman who can support a power alone, no matter how delicate she looks, cannot be underestimated.

Chu Yan still had the shadow of being imprisoned here in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Since Gu has come here in person, it is enough to prove his sincerity. I also ask Master Shui to release the person from the Gu Jiuzhong Hall."

Shui Miao'er covered her mouth and smiled, her peach blossom eyes like a fox's were rippling in autumn waves, and she was unparalleled for a while, "Prince Chu, please be safe and don't be impatient. First have a bowl of tea with the little girl to relieve fatigue, and then talk about other things. Isn't it too late?" ?”

She took a step forward, catkins poked out from her cuffs, and came to hold Chu Yan's arm, exhaling like blue: "Little girl has admired Palace Master Chu for many years..."

Chu Yan's face was livid, and the tip of his eyebrows twitched violently, almost uncontrollably wanting to strike with his palm.

——Damn it, in his previous life, he met that monstrous Bai Hua, and it made him sick to see such a coquettish beauty now!

But before Chu Yan made a move, he heard a "clang" from behind, accompanied by an exclamation, the ink blade had jumped a few feet away, and the long sword stopped steadily on the neck of the maid who had just led them in like a ghost On, with a line of bloodstains.

The black-clothed guard said coldly, "If the master of Shuijing has such a taste, and sits and drinks tea when his family is under restraint, naturally the Jiuzhong Palace can only accompany him."

The maid was forced by her murderous aura, her face was pale and her body trembled like chaff.The owners of Shuijinglou present were all shocked. Shui Miaoer raised her willow eyebrows "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Chu Yan clapped his palms and laughed, without concealing his complacency, "Hahaha, Water Master, how are you?"

"Mr. Mo, calm down." Xu Mingxi hastily stepped forward to persuade, "Miao'er is naughty, she made such a joke out of curiosity when she first saw the Lord of the Nine Layers Palace, but she is not a flamboyant woman, please forgive me."

Shui Miao'er also put away her coquettish attitude, pursed her lips and smiled, but this time she did a boxing salute squarely, "The little girl was rude just now, don't blame Palace Master Chu."

After a pause, she blinked again and said, "Miao'er just heard people say that the Lord of the Chu Palace has a beautiful woman in the golden house and has raised a peerless beauty. She only knows that the Lord of the Chu Palace is a romantic person who is infatuated with love and love, so she can't help it." Give it a try, I didn’t expect that the news about my Shuijing Tower might not always be the same.”

After finishing speaking, I laughed so hard that the flower branches trembled.

Shuijing Building is engaged in information trading, as long as there are people, there will be Shuijing's intelligence network.This is well known in the Jianghu.

Seeing the hostess laughing and playing, Chu Yan seemed to be a bit of a temper mate.He shook his head and smiled, calming down, and said, "Ah Ren."

Mo Ren withdrew his sword coldly, let go of the trembling little maid, and turned behind Chu Yan.

Chu Yan secretly felt better.

Shui Miao'er's brows relaxed slightly, and said: "Don't worry, Master Chu. In the past few days, Shuijinglou has not damaged even a single hair of your seat's downwind guardian. To be honest, the little girl has already sent someone to arrest Feng. The protector has been invited out, and it will be here in a while."

As she spoke, she flicked her sleeves and shouted to the maids, "Come on, why don't you show the seats and serve tea to the distinguished guests?"

Chu Yan and Xu Mingxi took their seats first, but Ying Yu and Mo Ren did not move.

Ying Yu dared to move only after the palace master sat down, and as for the ink blade, no matter how much he got Chu Yan's reuse, he could not sit down at such a time as a bodyguard.

According to the rules, he can only stand behind the master.

But that was the standard of the previous life. Now that Chu Yan has unconsciously put the ink blade in his heart, how can he be willing to ask him to rigidly follow those rules of respect and inferiority?

He Chuyan said that no one can be wronged by the person he wants to protect.

Chu Yan stretched out his hand steadily, and with an extremely natural expression, he pressed the person who wanted to retreat behind him as always on the seat beside him.

"My lord...!" Now, not only Moren was shocked, but even the other three were surprised.

Xu Mingxi and Shui Miaoer just exchanged an unexpected look, but Ying Yu was so startled that her eyes almost popped out——

When did the Palace Master, who was always so harsh on his only bodyguard, change his temper and take such good care of his elder brother?

Mo Ren was even more terrified.He would never dare to sit with Chu Yan, but he would not disobey the Lord's will in front of others, so he just asked hesitantly, "Master, this?"

Chu Yan patted the back of his hand reassuringly, and leaned his head closer, "Don't think too much, just sit where you are told to sit, and just sit comfortably."

Mo Ren looked at Chu Yan's hand covering his own, with a complicated expression on his face, and finally chose to remain silent.

Not long after, a stable and handsome mature young man was led out of the room by the disciples of Shuijinglou. It was Yingfeng who was the first of the four shadow guardians in the Nine Layers Hall.

Yingyu jumped up almost immediately, and said eagerly: "Brother Yingfeng! How are you? Did they hurt you—"

"Rain Guardian! How can you lose your composure in front of the Palace Master?"

However, Yingfeng reprimanded him coldly, knelt down on one knee in front of Chu Yan, gritted his teeth, and said, "This subordinate pays homage to the lord. Yingfeng is not good at martial arts, and his actions are inappropriate, and he is so tired that the lord came in person... This subordinate deserves death !"

"Excuse me, get up." Chu Yan raised his sleeves, and an invisible force lifted Yingfeng up, "I don't blame you alone."

Shadow Wind was taken aback for a moment.

The Palace Master did not blame...! ?

As a shadow protector, he has long known that his too young palace master has an arrogant temper, is extremely talented in martial arts, has high demands on himself, and is also very strict with his subordinates.

Being captured by other forces, forcing the palace master to come down the mountain to wipe his ass in person is such an embarrassing thing... I thought that he would never be lightly forgiven.

Only Mo Ren knew the mystery, and his brows and eyes, which were always covered with frost and snow, couldn't help but slightly warmed up.

Xu Mingxi and Shui Miaoer, who were watching from the side, also looked at each other.Shui Miaoer frowned, and whispered to Xu Mingxi: "Hey, this Palace Master Chu seems to be quite different from what I know."

After she finished speaking, she shook her head, stepped forward gracefully, and gently waved her palm: "Hallmaster Chu, your person, the little girl has returned it. Please look at this thing again, Lord."

A Shuijinglou disciple who came out with Yingfeng solemnly held a box in both hands, brought it to Chu Yan, and opened it carefully.

Inside lay a black jade tablet.It lay quietly inside the box, and blood was still condensed on it, which was shocking.

——The supreme keepsake of the Nine Layers Palace, the Nine Clouds Jade Plaque!

Shui Miao'er's slender hand picked up the sign and played with it: "Master Chu, the general matter must have been told to you by the Rain Guardian. How many of us. If Palace Master Chu wants to say anything to the little girl, Miao'er can listen here."

Chu Yan's face remained unchanged, he stretched out his palm, his fingers slightly bent, and his deep internal force turned into a suction force to snatch the jade token from Shui Miao'er's hand.

The black jade card crossed a curved line and fell into his hand. Shui Miao'er only thought that he wanted to confirm the authenticity, and didn't stop her. She just stared at Chu Yan, waiting for him to speak.

After a long while, Chu Yan opened his mouth slowly, and admitted very straightforwardly: "It's the Nine Clouds Jade Tablet from the Nine Layers Palace, that's right, I'm here alone, thank you Master Shui, for being a high-spirited and honest person, and returning it to the original owner."

Then he changed hands and handed the jade card to Mo Ren, "Ah Ren, keep it."

"Yes." Mo Ren took it very naturally, and put it in his arms.

Shui Miaoer was taken aback by the life of these two people.After realizing it, he slapped the table angrily, "Master Chu! This is the most direct evidence of the murder case!"

She took it out and questioned it in front of the suspect, but the suspect was lucky enough to change hands and put the stolen goods into his arms—what kind of scoundrel is this! ?

"Oh, don't be in a hurry." Chu Yan waved his hand, but he was really not in a hurry. He took a sip from the teacup in front of him, looked up at Shui Miao'er and said with a smile, "The landlord wants this evidence. The most useful thing is to find out whose thing it is, how it fell there, and what it has to do with the murderer, right?"

Shui Miaoer said: "Naturally!"

"Now I will tell you that this jade tablet is indeed a token of the Nine Layers Palace; I can also tell you who held this token before it was lost; I can even conclude that this person must have a great connection with this case. And what exactly is going on, I’m still looking into it.”

"Oh?" Both Shui Miao'er and Xu Mingxi's eyes lit up.Xu Mingxi leaned his upper body forward, and said eagerly: "Master Chu said so, could it be true, no, no, he must know something..."

There was a hint of mystery in Chu Yan's eyes, and there was some murderous intent in his words: "Jiuzhongdian's hatred for this murderer is no less than that of Shuijinglou; and the dirty water on Jiuzhongdian's body is no less than that of Xuyang Sword School. .”

"If the two of you can trust Gu, then we will make an oath to join hands, and Gu will definitely tell you everything he knows. If you can't believe it, then Gu can't help it. There are some things that friends can listen to, but enemies can't. Please forgive me."

After Chu Yan finished speaking, the scene fell into silence for a moment.

Xu Shui and the two were surprised, not only shocked, but also suspicious.How many days did they worry about this matter, but Chu Yan revealed the shocking news about the identity of the murderer when they first met.

What was also surprising was that Jiuzhongdian, who had always been alone, had the willingness to join forces on his own initiative.After being surprised, she was puzzled, especially Shui Miaoer, who had absolute confidence in her intelligence network. Didn't she hear that Chu Yan had any enemies to pursue?

She also thought that during this meeting with Chu Yan, the words and deeds of the young palace master were quite different from what she had heard. Could it be that there was something wrong with the intelligence network at the Jiuzhong Palace?

If so, is this person credible?In this murder case, what role did the Jiuzhongdian play?

Xu Mingxi secretly observed the other three people in the Nine Layers Palace, and saw that Yingfeng's face was as sinking as water, and the ink blade was indifferent. Only Yingyu tried to be calm, but still couldn't hide the shock and doubt in his eyes.

As a result, Xu Mingxi couldn't figure out whether what Chu Yan said was true or not?
