after silence

didn't come back. "

Su Chen stepped forward and grabbed my sleeve, with tears in her eyes.Fingers across the back of my hand, the cold feeling made me tremble.

"Didn't Bai Lian tell you? I just went out for a while."

Su Chen nodded, opened her mouth and sneezed, stretched out her hand and rubbed her nose, raised her head and smiled at me with a rather embarrassed expression.

Sighing secretly in my heart, I took him back to the room.

"Su Chen, do you remember who I am?"

Caressing Su Chen leaning against me, I squinted my eyes and asked him the question of this morning.

Su Chen raised his head and blinked his eyes, his expression was a little confused, seeing that I didn't seem to be joking, nodded and replied seriously, "Yes, you are the young master."

Hearing Su Chen's answer, I couldn't help tightening my hand stroking his long hair.Su Chen, whose hair was being pulled by me, was in pain, and hurriedly reached out to break my fingers.

"Young master, let go, Su Chen hurts so much."

"Su Chen, remember, I am not the young master in your heart, I am Dongfang Qi!"

Pulling Su Chen's hair, let him look into my eyes, seeing Su Chen nodding, I let him go with satisfaction.I stretched out my hands to straighten his messy hair.

"Su Chen, I don't care if you are really stupid or not. In short, I am not your young master. Don't try to find his shadow from me. I, Dongfang Qi, will never be a substitute for others. Let me tell you, except This skin, Dongfang Qi has completely disappeared. If you want to go with him, I will never stop you."

Gently stroking the top of Su Chen's head, I watched Su Chen, who half understood, whispered in his ear.

old martial arts

Flipping through the bronzing invitation in my hand, I looked up at Dongfang Ling who was standing in front of me with an embarrassed face.

Didn't I tell him and Zhan Yuehua not to tell Zhan Lingxian my identity? Why did this old fox ask Dongfang Ling to send the invitation?

"Brother, um, Leader Zhan sincerely invites you to go."

Dongfang Ling rubbed his nose and rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

The invitation card in her hand was snatched away by Bai Lian. Seeing the content on it, Bai Lian threw herself on me, hugged my neck with both hands, and dangled around my body like a swing.The big moist eyes stared at me closely, and those eyes full of expectation made me want to laugh.

"You want to go?"

I pinched Bai Lian's nose and pulled him off me and threw him onto a chair beside me.Bai Lian nodded and quickly ran back to me, holding my arm, looking like two good brothers.

"I want to go, Dongfang Qi, didn't you promise me that you would take me out to play? You see, I have been quietly suffocating in the house for so many days, you can't say nothing."

Dongfang Ling who was next to him hurriedly nodded in agreement when he heard what Bai Lian said.

"Yes, yes, brother, you can go, I have already prepared the carriage outside."

Bai Lian sniffled, and called out 'Dongfang Qi' nonuo. I glanced at him and got up and walked out. When I turned around and saw Su Chen sitting in the corner with a hopeful expression, my heart couldn't help but move.

"are you going?"

Seeing me talking to him, Su Chen nodded hurriedly.Jumped up and helped me get a coat from the hanger and stood behind me with a smile.

Seeing Su Chen's considerate look, Dongfang Ling covered his mouth with a wicked smile and went around to open the door for me.

Because it was afternoon, the inn was quiet, and there were only a few people sitting in the corner drinking and beating farts in the lobby. When they saw our group coming down from the stairs, they looked up at us and went back to drink.

Dongfang Ling's carriage had long been waiting outside the door, and the driver sitting on the shaft saw us coming out and hurriedly got up and jumped off the shaft, bowing and lifting the curtain for us.

"Dongfangqi, what do you think is that whirring little circle outside? It's fun, look at it, there are also people selling small wooden horses, wow, it looks like it, Dongfangqi, when you come back later Be sure to buy it for me."

Su Chen sat quietly in the car, staring at the soles of her feet and wondering what she was thinking, Bai Lian lay on the window screaming non-stop, while Dongfang Ling couldn't bear Bai Lian's noise and ran out long ago.

Seeing that Bai Lian looked back excitedly and wanted to say something to me again, I frowned, blocked his mouth and pulled him back from the window.

"Yell again and I'll throw you back to the inn, just sit here honestly, if I hear your voice again, you won't even have to speak in your life."

Seeing that I was really angry, Bai Lian pouted aggrievedly and leaned against Su Chen and kept fiddling with her fingers. Not long after, seeing that I was not paying attention, she opened the curtain of the car to peek secretly, but this time it was Learn to be smart, and know how to gag your own mouth.

The carriage stopped at a luxurious manor, and seeing Dongfang Ling standing outside the car and lifting the curtain, I knew that Zhanfu had arrived.

Standing up and getting off the carriage, he saw an old man in a gray robe, with frosty eyebrows and snow-haired hair, coming out of the door.This person is full of righteousness, presumably he is also Zhan Lingxian who is respected as the leader of the alliance.

"The young master of the East is here, and Zhan is so rude to welcome him from a distance."

As he said that, the old man clasped his fists at me and cupped his hands.

I nodded to the old man and didn't say anything.

Zhan Yuehua behind Zhan Lingxian saw my indifferent attitude, turned his head and snorted coldly, Zhan Lingxian lowered his head and reprimanded Zhan Yuehua before leading me into the manor.

Zhan Lingxian led me into a study room, waved away the servants in the room and sat down opposite me.

"Master Dongfang, someone Zhan doesn't know how to beat around the bush. I invited you here today to ask what you think of the 'Silver Needle Case' that happened in the past few months?"

Putting down the teacup, I raised my head and smiled faintly at Zhan Lingxian.

"Master Zhan, I have just arrived in Yuancheng, and I am not familiar with everything that happened. I haven't grasped any valuable clues yet, but I don't know what clues Master Zhan has?"

Seeing what I said, Zhan Lingxian sighed and took out a piece of paper from the desk and handed it to me.I received it and took a rough look at it, and it was not much different from what I asked Mo Xue to find out.

"One month before the incident, several leaders had been to a flower building in Fuxian Pavilion, and had a drink with a young man named Chenyan in the pavilion. The old man had sent someone to check that Chenyan, and there was no I found something suspicious, and the leaders have never had any enmity with anyone, so how could they be murdered for no apparent reason?"

Listening to Zhan Lingxian's words, I just smiled lightly.Logically speaking, Zhan Lingxian has been around for so many years, how could he easily rule out the suspicion of dust and smoke?From the point of view of intelligence, how could Chen Yan be the biggest suspect?Although Zhan Lingxian is a bit older, he is not so old and foolish, is he trying to cover up?

This game is really getting more and more interesting.

Fiddling with the teacup in his hand, he suddenly thought of the hypnotism that Chen Yan had used.Zhan Lingxian has been the leader of the martial arts for so many years, he should have heard of hypnosis, I don't know if he can get any important information from his mouth.

"Leader Zhan, you are already a veteran, I wonder if you have heard of the kung fu called 'hypnosis'?"

Hearing my question, Zhan Lingxian seemed to be frightened, the whole person shook the teacup in his hand and fell to the ground, and the porcelain fragments shattered on the ground.

"Hypnotism? Oh, is the tragedy of 20 years ago going to happen again?"

Zhan Lingxian's words caught me by surprise.

20 years ago?Just a simple "Silver Needle Case" why would it involve the old things 20 years ago?

Seeing my puzzled expression, Zhan Lingxian looked back at me, the melancholy in his brows could no longer be suppressed.

"It's normal for Young Master Dongfang not to know, and you were just babies at that time. It's a long story..."

I quietly listened to Zhan Lingxian's recounting of the past 20 years ago, and I couldn't help wondering if the child in the story was just a dust and smoke that escaped a catastrophe.

Twenty years ago, Immortal Mansion was not as brilliant as it is now, and the Sanssouci Palace in Jiangnan ranked first.

Li Yifei, the lord of Sanssouci Palace, is a master of martial arts and a kind-hearted person. He is recognized as a hero in the Jianghu.His wife, Bai Yufeng, is recognized as a beauty in martial arts, and the love between husband and wife is enviable.This was originally a good story, but just after Mrs. Li gave birth to a son, a strange thing happened in the Sanssouci Palace.

Not long after Li Yifei's beloved son was born, several homicides occurred one after another in the Sanssouci Palace. The dead were all controlled by others and killed themselves.All of a sudden, the Sanssouci Palace had a sudden disturbance, and people panicked.

Not long after, several respected seniors in the Jianghu also died in this way one after another. In an instant, the Jianghu was in chaos like a pot of porridge.

Later, Zhan Lingxian, who was highly respected by the Wulin League, was the leader of the alliance, and followed a few scattered clues to find the murderer.But this person surprised everyone.

This person is none other than Li Yifei's beloved wife Bai Yufeng!

Bai Yufeng didn't open his mouth to defend himself against the crowd's accusations, but tried to escape from the crowd's siege and used hypnosis to control people's minds. Some martial arts practitioners with relatively shallow cultivation were confused for a while, and waved the weapons in their hands to the side alliance.

For a moment, the Palace of Sanssouci was engulfed in massacres, and the bright red blood dyed the entire ground of Sanssouci Palace in blood red.

Li Yifei, who was the only one present who resisted Bai Yufeng's hypnotism, saw his wife's "violence" and took his wife's life with his own hands. Afterwards, he drew his sword and killed himself with his wife.

But what is strange is that Li Yifei's son, who had just reached the full moon, lost track of him in the chaos.Zhan Lingxian once sent people to search for the whereabouts of the child, but found nothing.Zhan Lingxian had no choice but to give up.

Looking at the sad emotion on Zhan Lingxian's eyebrows, I believe that memory 20 years ago was really a nightmare for him.

"Young Master Dongfang, are you really sure that the murderer used hypnotism to kill?"

Looking up at Zhan Lingxian
