[The Legend of Mulan] Daughter Love

In the embroidery building of Jinxiu Villa, six looms are operating in an orderly manner, and each loom makes rhythmic sounds.This voice is the most beautiful for Xiunu.Mulan walked into the embroidered building from the outside, seeing the busy figures and pairs of nimble hands, and thinking of herself, she still felt very uncomfortable.

She hid her emotions, walked over the threshold with a smile, walked to Zhiqing, looked at the shading pattern she had woven, and said pleasantly: "Zhiqing, it's only been a few days, and you have already woven it so fast and well." Yes, better than I can weave."

Zhiqing smiled slightly, "You are exaggerating, everyone is good at weaving, I am just better than before."

"You can weave well and embroider well."

Mulan has always been very confident in her weaving and embroidery skills, and she will practice hard as long as she has time on weekdays.But she knew that among these sisters who grew up together, Zhiqing was the most talented and savvy, and she could learn many things with just a glance.But after she came back, they all found that Zhiqing's thoughts on weaving and embroidery were much weaker.

Chunsi's voice pulled Mulan's mind back, and she said, "Stop praising her, such a compliment will be a burden to her. If Zhiqing doesn't do well, it will lose the face of Grandpa Ba and Luoshen Manor." .”

Fu Ling rolled her eyes and said, "She is actually stubborn. She said she would not come to Jinxiu Villa, so come on. In order to catch up with the progress, she has been knitting late in the embroidery building by herself these few nights. I am not stupid. Stupid! Slow down, who will blame you for failing."

"Sister Zhiqing, aren't you working hard?" Zisu glanced at Fu Ling, "Look at you, you can't say good things well."

"Forget it, Zisu. This is Fuling. If she talks to me nicely one day, I won't get used to it." Zhiqing pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "You say Fuling with such a small temper is quite Lovely?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, Fu Ling snorted cheekily, and after a while, she laughed too.However, when she looked up and saw Mulan, the smile on her face faded slowly, and turned into a cold look again, probably thinking of Si Niang again.

Mulan didn't take Fuling's silence to heart, she just said: "Everyone will weave for a while, and we will have lunch soon."

The sound of the loom rang again in the embroidery building.

In fact, Fu Ling was much better than Si Niang when the accident happened. Before, she looked at Mulan with hatred in her eyes. After getting along with her these days, she became more cheerful. Bad words.No one can help the relationship between the two of them. I am afraid that the freeze will not be thawed until the real murderer is caught.Like the others, Zhiqing didn't say much, sat in front of the loom, and picked up the shuttle.

"Mulan..." Babeican walked into the embroidery building and shouted, startling everyone here.

Chunsi hadn't been back to Luoshen Manor for several days, and when she saw Babeican, she walked over in surprise and joy, "Grandpa Ba, why are you here?"

The other embroidered girls also stood up, with their heads slightly lowered, ready to listen to Grandpa Eight's orders.Babeican only glanced at Zhiqing, then turned his gaze to Mulan, "You all go out, I have something to talk to Mulan alone."

Although everyone was curious about what Grandpa Eight would say to Mulan, Grandpa Eight had spoken, and everyone walked out of the embroidery building one after another.Chunsi stood still, she felt that she and Zhiqing should not be within the scope of going out, but Zhiqing pulled her out.

"Do you know what Grandpa Eight is looking for Mulan?" Chunsi asked in a low voice in Zhiqing's ear.

Zhiqing looked at Chunsi and said, "I don't know very well, maybe Grandpa has his considerations."

They waited outside the embroidered building with other embroidered girls. After a while, Babeican came out and took Mulan to Luoshen Manor.When someone asked, Zhiqing only said that she didn't know.She led the embroiderers to step up the weaving pattern. Mulan went to Jinxiu Villa for a whole day and did not return.

Zhiqing didn't leave Xiulou until the moon was in the sky.On the way back to her room, she passed Si Niang's room.Si Niang's first seven days have passed, but Fu Ling still insists on lighting lamps and candles in her mother's room every night, and burn them out by dawn the next day.In fact, Zhiqing is also very curious, how did Si Niang die, there is not even a single scar on her body, the murder weapon must be very special.She slowly approached...

"who!"

The soldiers guarding the room found Zhiqing, and told General Xie not to allow other people to approach, and told her to leave as soon as possible.She stood at the bottom of the steps, only a few steps away from Si Niang's room, and while the soldiers were talking, she carefully looked at the room and the windows and doors.She turned around and looked, but when she was about to walk into the dark, she accidentally caught a faint light.

Zhiqing often practices flying knitting and embroidery in the dark, so her eyesight is better than normal people's. This flickering light is on the paper window. What could have caused it to be so shiny... She suddenly froze. Surprised, I had a bad idea in my heart, it should be a needle.

Her thoughts fell into chaos, her heart beat faster, and she walked forward step by step.Si Niang's death... what happened?

Luoshen Manor, reception hall.

Babeican, Xie Qichen, and Mulan are sitting around the table. The murder weapon that killed Si Niang may have been found. It is a needle, which is exactly the same as the needle used by Babeican to teach Mulan the flying needle technique.It is impossible for Babeican to be the murderer, and he has not lost a single needle, so who is the murderer?

The three of them fell into silence. Xie Qichen thought carefully about his visit to Wufeng Valley, and he always felt that there was a hidden force waiting for an opportunity, and the target must be Heqintu.Who doesn't want to weave a picture of peace, and who is deliberately making things difficult for Wei Guo in the picture?He thought of Rouran, and also of Si Niang's death. If Babeican was not the murderer, who else could have come into contact with the flying needle?

Xie Qichen's expression froze, and he looked at Babeican, "The old man just said that the flying needle technique has never been taught to others. Does this other person refer to outsiders or everyone in Wufeng Valley?"

Ba Beican was stunned for a moment, with a dark look between his brows, he looked up at Xie Qichen, and asked, "Why did the general say that?"

"I'm afraid the old man's words are not quite true." Xie Qichen sat upright and said apologetically, "Xie shouldn't have doubted the old man, but now the situation is special, I have to eliminate all doubts to rule out any possibility, so as to have hope Catch the real murderer."

Mulan didn't quite understand: "What did General Xie think of? Is he suspicious of someone? Why do you want to involve Grandpa Eight?"

Xie Qichen only looked at Babeican, and said: "I once accidentally saw Zhiqing knitting and embroidering under the night. Does Qing also know how to fly needles?" Seeing that Babeican was silent, he went on to say: "When I first arrived in Wufeng Valley, I heard the county magistrate Chen talk about Zhiqing, and it happened that she was in Rouran two years ago. She saved me when she was still a maid of Rouran Royal Court."

Babeican suddenly asked in surprise: "Qing'er, did she spend those three years in Rouran?"

Mulan asked: "Eighth Grandfather, why don't you know where Zhiqing was in those three years? Rouran Royal Court, maid?"

This question is exactly what Xie Qichen wanted to ask, what if she left Rouran not just to go back to her hometown?No, before the war between the two sides, Zhiqing had already returned to the Kingdom of Wei, it was impossible for her to know that there was a marriage plan at that time, and she came to the rescue because she was from the Kingdom of Wei... The more Xie Qichen thought about it, the more anxious he became. No, who exactly is Zhiqing, she is like a mystery, there are many incomprehensible things about her.

Xie Qichen urged: "Mister..."

Babeican sighed, looked a little sad, looked at them and said, "Qing'er went back to Wufeng Valley two years ago, and when Spring Silk fetched water for Qing'er to take a bath in the evening, she found that there were many unwashed whips on her arms. There is a large dark red burn on the shoulder and back, I heard it at the time, and in my heart..." The eighth grandfather closed his eyes and sighed again distressedly, "For a while, Qing'er would do evil at night. Meng, she was still afraid of fire, and she didn't even dare to light a candle. Qing'er didn't say anything about these things, so I didn't ask, because I was afraid that it would arouse her sadness. Fortunately, she has gradually recovered in the past two years, so I can rest assured. "

Mulan was startled, it turned out that there were so many things she didn't know about Zhiqing after she came back, so maybe it was because of this reason that she liked to stay at home and not go out. "No wonder Miss Chunsi asked us not to ask about Zhiqing's past." After she finished speaking, she lowered her head in embarrassment and hesitated for a long time before asking, "Eighth Grandpa, have you taught Zhiqing the flying needle?"

"Yes, old sir, this is related to human life, and we must find out."

Babeican was a little angry, "Qing'er can't be the murderer!"

"Grandpa!" Zhiqing rushed back to Luoshen Manor from Jinxiu Villa. She had been listening for a long time outside the door just now.She said angrily: "General Xie, you don't have to force my grandfather, I can do the flying needle!"

As she said that, Zhiqing picked up the needle on the table between her fingers, pointed at a candlestick behind the inner screen, and shot it instantly, and the candle went out in an instant.

Mulan and Xie Qichen looked at Zhiqing in surprise at the same time, but forgot to speak for a moment.

"Zhi, Zhiqing..." Mulan looked at Zhiqing's cold eyes when she made a move, and felt as if she didn't know her.

Xie Qichen stood up, but he was calm now, she should not be the murderer, otherwise how could he dare to strike in front of them.He looked into Zhiqing's eyes and asked calmly, "Where were you the night Si Niang died?"

"Room."

"Who can prove it?"

"Xi'er, the daughter of Aunt Zhang in the kitchen of Luoshen Manor, she has been taking care of my daily life."

Babeican shook his head at them and said, "There is another reason why Qing'er cannot be the murderer. Mulan, it is Qing'er who reminded me that I can use flying needles to treat your trembling hands."

Xie Qichen nodded, clasped his fists and said to Babeican: "Old man, Xie was offended just now, I will verify whether this needle is the murder weapon, and then step up the investigation to catch the murderer!"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhiqing said: "General Xie, this needle should have killed Si Niang. You might as well check Si Niang's room again. There is a needle hole in the window that cannot be noticed by others."

Xie Qichen stopped, said 'thank you', and hurriedly left Luoshen Manor.

For a general, he is not a policeman, let alone a county magistrate, Zhiqing didn't expect much from his investigation efficiency.But one day later, Xie Qichen released Jia Jun and found the blacksmith's shop of Wang Blacksmith in Guihua Lane. He was the one who made the needles of Babeican.Under Xie Qichen's questioning, Wang Tiejiang said that he had injected two more sample needles ten years ago, but Wang Tiejiang rummaged through the box, and the two sample needles disappeared.

Afterwards, he asked his subordinates to investigate Babeican, Zhiqing, and Wang Tiejiang, and found that they were not in Jinxiu Villa that night, and some people could prove that they were not suspicious.The case fell into a mystery again. Who was the murderer with the flying needle?

While Xie Qichen was stepping up his investigation, Duo Lun was also trying his best to find the person behind Xinyihua. He always believed that the person behind Xinyihua was the one who used Xinyihua to harm Mulan and killed Si Niang.After Jia Jun was released, Duo Lun and his party fell into depression, because the clues to pursue were cut off again.However, when Fu Ling came to him, he got a very useful news from her—Si Niang died under a special needle.

The two stood outside the inn where they were staying. Duo Lun wanted to ask Fu Ling more about the case, but Fu Ling took out a sweat towel and handed it to him, "Mo Jiang, you dropped this last time. I picked it up. Give it back to you now."

Duo Lun was slightly taken aback, smiled and took it and put it into his arms. "Thank you very much."

His smile made Fu Ling bow her head in embarrassment, and said softly, "I'm going back."

After Fu Ling finished speaking, after waiting for a while, Duo Lun suddenly didn't respond at all.She raised her head and saw Doron was looking behind her all the time, frowning, and there was a hint of surprise in her angry eyes.

Fu Ling turned around curiously, and saw several people getting off their horses and walking over.These people are exactly Wu Ti and his subordinates who came from Rouer.They arrived for a few days and have been checking for signs of Doron.

Wu Ti sneered a little while walking, it's really a good place to live in an inn so close to the racecourse.Just now he thought it was Li Duo who was talking to Duo Lun, so he walked in a hurry, but when the woman turned around, he realized it was not.

"Who are they?" Fu Ling asked Duo Lun behind her.

Duo Lun exhaled, and said to Fu Ling, "I still have something to do here, you should go back first."

Although Fu Ling was very puzzled, seeing that the people who came didn't seem very friendly, she was a little worried.But Duo Lun kept urging her to leave quickly, so Fu Ling had no choice but to go back first.

When Fu Ling was gone, Duo Lun angrily walked up to Wu Ti and asked him, "What are you doing in Wei Guo!"

Wu Ti glanced at Duo Lun, and asked bluntly, "Say! Where is Li Duo?"

Duo Lun turned around and turned his back to Wu Ti, "There is no Li Duo here."

Wu Ti was annoyed by his attitude, and was about to get angry when he saw Da Na coming out of the inn next to the prime minister, he motioned to Wu Luohou, and Wu Luohou immediately led the other two people to Da Na.Da Na saw that something was wrong, then looked at Wu Ti who was standing behind Duo Lun, and shouted in fear: "Don't save me!"
