Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

The next day, the sky turned white and the rain stopped slightly. Man Jiangxue put Yin Qiu back on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then opened the door and went to another room to wash.

Because she was worried that Yin Qiu would wake up at night or vomit again, Man Jiangxue did not close her eyes in the middle of the night. Even if the small oil lamp on the table was burned out, she remained awake all the time, just holding Yin Qiu in her arms. Sit in the dark until dawn.

The disciples haven't slept well these days, they can't help much, they can only stay up late with Man Jiangxue in the porch in turn, everyone keep their movements quiet, walking like cats when they come and go Same, for fear of disturbing Yin Qiu.

Bai Ling had been waiting outside the door early in the morning. Seeing Man Jiangxue coming out, she quickly went to fetch hot water, but Man Jiangxue was useless. She deliberately took cold water to refresh herself, and finally said to Bai Ling: "Go Call Wan Shu over."

Bai Ling responded, and immediately called a disciple to invite someone. After a while, he saw Ji Wanshu coming through the long corridor, and said as soon as he entered: "Just now, another group of disciples from the Nine Immortal Hall came outside the door. It is said that the organization meeting is coming to an end, and it will end tomorrow, so I want to ask my uncle to go and have a look as soon as possible."

Man Jiangxue hung up the veil, tied up her hair in front of the bronze mirror, and said, "When should I go, please send me away."

Ji Wanshu responded, and then asked: "The disciples of the hidden guards brought back from the bamboo forest are still in the ice cellar, but hey, it's not an option to keep them like this. When the corpse is transported back, it’s better if the sun doesn’t get out of the way, but it’s not easy when the sun is out, Master has an idea, or find a place to bury it?”

Man Jiangxue thought for a while, and said sideways: "Where is the person sent to investigate?"

Ji Wanshu said: "Just after I came back, Kaya asked, and all the relatives of the disciples of the hidden guards were killed, and no one was left alive."

Hearing this, Bai Ling showed surprise on his face: "They are all dead?"

Ji Wanshu said: "No way, it's too late to travel day and night. The other party's actions are stronger than 呙, and they will definitely not leave a living. The Qin Yejian may have died long before the incident happened."

Even though he had expected such a result in advance, Bai Ling still couldn't help being discouraged, and said angrily, "This...how can I do this?"

Ji Wanshu said: "I can only take one step at a time."

Man Jiangxue frowned, her expression was not surprised, and she said after a while: "Then just bury everyone."

Even though seven days had passed since Yin Qiu's accident, the disciples still couldn't accept the fact that those shadow guard disciples were killers.

It must be known that there are only such a group of hidden guards from Yunhua Palace, and all of them are the outstanding ones who have been selected through layers of selection. They don't go anywhere except Jingyue Peak, and they don't care about other peaks. It is to obey Man Jiangxue and be sent by her.

But Man Jiangxue doesn't often order them around. Whether she is dealing with important affairs in the palace or going down the mountain to do things, she is used to doing it herself, and she rarely brings the disciples of the hidden guards with her. In addition, Man Jiangxue needs to go down the mountain to handle matters , most of the time there is no need for anyone to follow, so as not to be too ostentatious.As a result, the disciples of the dark guards could only do small things like serving tea and water in Jingyue Peak, and idled all day long. In a sense, they were more free than other disciples in the palace, and they also enjoyed various privileges.

In other words, if they were bribed and became traitors of Yunhua Palace, almost no one would be able to detect it in time, including Man Jiangxue.

And Jingyue Peak has no big disciples who manage matters big and small, so no one is watching them all the time. The hidden guards are in a state of being freed. Many disciples used to envy their freedom. Entering and leaving Yunhua Palace at will, and not being controlled by multiple parties, is really a huge hidden danger that cannot be guarded against.

It's a pity that no one has paid attention to such a hidden danger in advance.

"These days, Huan Xin's attendant, Huan Xin, who is a prostitute of the card family," Bai Ling leaned against the door frame, and suddenly said, "But I'm not sure...whether I can say this."

Man Jiangxue looked at her: "What's the problem?"

Bai Ling paused, as if he was organizing his words, and said: "Actually, the surname of Yu Yuan Mi Yun Ao Tuo is 飧 沆沆江木姐姐, although Master Uncle lives alone in Jingyue Peak all year round, all the disciples in the palace know your kung fu well. You don't need people to guard you, and there won't be any assassins in the palace. Even if you want people to serve you, you can just pick a few people, but... But the head of the sect has specially sent you a group of dark guard disciples, Ling Qiang The matter of Mang...seems a bit redundant."

After hearing her words, Man Jiangxue didn't say a word, but Ji Wanshu asked in surprise, "Are you suspicious of the head?"

Discussing the head of the sect in private is a great taboo in the palace, Bai Lingran was a little flustered, and quickly waved his hands and said: "It's just that I can't figure it out."

Ji Wanshu looked at Man Jiangxue's reaction, frowned and said, "Well, I hope you can answer this question. Not long after the Ruyimen incident happened in the past, the ancestor also passed away due to illness. Her old man originally wanted to take the position of head Leave it to the uncle, but the uncle doesn't mean it, and is willing to help. Although the head is the head, her martial arts... is actually not the best among the several uncles, so the head of the throne needs to walk around the rivers and lakes She handed over all the affairs to the uncle, and she chose the disciples of the hidden guards back then to share important tasks for the uncle, but the uncle is used to being alone, so those disciples of the dark guards have little chance to do things."

After she said this, she added: "What's more, I don't stay here much, and I spend most of the year running outside the palace, so whenever my uncle has something to do, he's always worried about it. Come on, those hidden guard disciples are even more useless, they can only stay in the palace. So it’s not that the head of the sect made a bad arrangement, if it’s someone else, they must order them in everything, understand?”

Bai Ling suddenly realized, and hurriedly explained after hearing these words: "It's too late, but I don't mean to doubt the head of the sect. Please don't blame the master and sister..."

Ji Wanshu waved his hand to show that he didn't take it seriously, and finally said to Man Jiangxue: "But then again, although the head of the sect has good intentions, it can't prevent the people underneath from hiding evil intentions. Disciples are all bought by others, it is unlikely that they will be stunned. It is not surprising that one or two are open to money, but it is strange that everyone is working together. There are always a few who refuse to join forces? Disciple Wei should have been tampered with at the beginning of the selection, they went to Jingyue Peak with a purpose from the very beginning."

The more Bai Ling heard it, the more frightened he became, and he said in amazement: "According to what Senior Sister said, someone buried them more than ten years ago and hid in the palace. Now she suddenly appeared to kill Xiao Qiu, but more than ten years ago, Xiao Qiu didn't even know where she was."

Ji Wanshu murmured: "This only shows that they are not trying to deal with Xiaoqiu, but..."

She didn't say the whole thing, but shifted her gaze to Man Jiangxue.

Bai Ling couldn't help being stunned: "It's to deal with the uncle...?"

You can see that both of them showed the same astonishment on their faces, but Man Jiang Xueji was very calm.

"Uncle Master...do you have any enemies?" Ji Wanshu was silent for a moment and asked carefully.

Man Jiangxue tidied up her appearance while they were talking, and when she heard this, she said in a normal tone: "I don't know." After she finished speaking, she thought about it again, "If there is an enemy, it is an old thing. , there is no place to check. Furthermore, since they are enemies, they should have tried to kill Lu instead of picking on Xiaoqiu for more than ten years. This time Xiaoqiu came to Weicheng for the news of the senior sister. It must have something to do with what happened at Ruyimen back then. It's more about monitoring Zhe than dealing with Lu!

"But the Ruyimen incident has passed for so many years, and the murderer who destroyed Ruyimen is also known to be the Ziwei Sect," Ji Wanshu said, "Why are they staring at you?"

Man Jiangxue put down the wooden comb in his hand, turned around and said: "It's very simple, it means that the murderer who destroyed the Ruyi Gate was not only taught by Ziwei, but they stared at Lu and attacked Xiaoqiu, just because they didn't want Xi to invade. who."

"Hey, I'm so humble, I'm really enlightened, and I said, "They have been lying in ambush for more than ten years, just to keep an eye on the uncle, and see if you can find out the murder case of Ruyimen back then move, but in the past few years, I didn't know that there was another murderer, and the uncle didn't move, so they didn't move. But now Meng Wugui has released the news of Uncle Shen, which shows that she probably knows who the murderer is , That's why they want to attack Xiaoqiu at this moment, because they don't want Xiaoqiu to have any contact with people from Jiuxiantang! "

Ji Wanshu pondered for a moment, then wondered, "But Ka is the murderer, so it's fine to just kill Meng Wugui, why kill Xiaoqiu?"

Bai Ling was slightly stunned, and said, "That's right... why did you kill Xiaoqiu?"

The two were secretly analyzing, when Man Jiangxue said: "But it's because he couldn't kill Meng Wugui, if he had the ability to directly kill Meng Wugui, he wouldn't turn to deal with Xiaoqiu, and he So to deal with Xiaoqiu, it is because Mengwugui is an old member of Ruyimen, and Xiaoqiu is from the Shen family. Seeing that something happened to Xiaoqiu, Mengwugui might be afraid because of this, and dare not easily identify the murderer. To make it public, this may be the reason why Xiaoqiu has been found for many years, but she has always avoided her and never recognized her."

"Why did Meng Wugui release the fake news about Uncle Shen?" Ji Wanshu continued to ask, "If she doesn't come out, Xiaoqiu won't be targeted at all, as long as she kills the murderer behind her back , how can there be so many broken things."

"Things will always come to the surface one day," Man Jiangxue said, "She just wants to use this as a reminder to Xi Qian. In addition, she, like the murderer, cannot kill each other easily, so she can only use Xiaoqiu to communicate with each other. Contest."

Bai Ling was silent for a moment, then sighed: "After all, the most pitiful person is Xiaoqiu..."

All three fell silent.

After a short period of silence, Man Jiangxue spoke again: "Meng Wugui, I will meet with her for an interview. As for what you should do now, it is to find out who the disciple of the dark guard obeys."

Bai Ling couldn't help showing embarrassment: "But all relatives are dead, how should we investigate?"

Man Jiangxue looked at her sideways, and said, "Tracing back to the source, we start with the people who selected these dark guard disciples."

Hearing this, Ji Wan paused for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The person responsible for the transfer of disciples outside the palace is Huai Wei, and the person responsible for the transfer of disciples inside the palace... is..."

Seeing that she didn't name that person, Bai Ling asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Ji Wanshu looked at Man Jiangxue and hesitated.

"Go and investigate," Man Jiangxue said calmly after cleaning his hands, "To be on the safe side, it's best to investigate these two people and other relevant disciples."

Ji Wanshu had a complicated expression, and replied, "Okay, let's talk."

Bai Ling looked at the two of them back and forth, confused.

The atmosphere suddenly became dignified. Man Jiangxue packed up everything and was about to go out when a disciple ran over with a happy face and shouted: "Uncle! Senior Sister Yin is awake!"

Man Jiangxue raised her eyes slightly, and immediately walked towards the door. She stepped out of the threshold with one leg, and then turned her head and said: "This matter is going on in secret, don't say anything, and don't report to the palace for the time being, especially don't let the senior sister in charge know." , lest she get restless and startle the snake."

Ji Wanshu and Bai Ling quickly nodded and said "yes".

Man Jiangxue stopped talking, and immediately followed the disciple to the other side of the wing.

·

Hearing that Yin Qiu had woken up, many disciples crowded at the door to look in. Man Jiangxue hurried into the room, opened the bead curtain and saw that Yin Qiu, who had been asleep for many days, was leaning against the head of the bed, and a disciple was holding a A bowl of clear porridge was being fed to her mouthful.

Hearing the movement, Yin Qiu raised his eyes in the dim morning light and looked at Man Jiangxue.

There were a lot of people standing inside and outside the house, and the two looked at each other from a distance, and the moment their eyes collided, it suddenly felt like a world away.

Just now, the disciples who were concerned about Yin Qiu all fell silent, Man Jiangxue loosened the bead curtain, walked to the side of the couch amidst the crisp sound of bead strings, and stared at Yin Qiu without saying a word.

The room turned from bustle to silence, but it didn't appear abrupt. Seeing that the two were only looking at each other but not speaking, the disciples exchanged glances, tiptoed away, and closed the door very intimately.

After everyone went outside, and heard a series of footsteps going away, Man Jiangxue sat down, took Yin Qiu's hand and gently pressed it to her cheek.

There was residual warmth in her palms, but her cheeks were cold. Yin Qiu was a little dazed, and moved her fingers to touch Man Jiangxue for a moment, and said in a hoarse voice, "Master Uncle."

Man Jiangxue was still watching her, and after a while she lowered her head, closed her eyes and sighed slightly, she held Yin Qiu's hand, and said a little tiredly: "You know how to be handsome?

Yin Qiu drooped his brows and said softly, "Grin."

Man Jiangxue looked up at her, her eyes were like the moonlight on the top of a green pine, filled with boundless softness and infinite tenderness, she seemed to have a lot to say, but she didn't say anything.

Yin Qiu met her gaze, and felt as if something soft had touched her heart, revealing an indescribable warmth, she pursed her lips slightly, and suddenly said: "Uncle lied to me!

Man Jiangxue looked at her pale face with a faint smile, unknowingly laughed, and said, "What are you lying to?"

Yin Qiu moved his hands away from her cheeks, opened his arms to embrace Man Jiangxue, and whispered in her ear: "You said that you are not going anywhere, you lied!

Man Jiangxue was quiet for a moment, and took advantage of the opportunity to hug Yin Qiu back, and said, "But why are you rushing to poke and play?"

Yin Qiu was so attached to smelling the familiar fragrance again in his breath, he buried his head on Man Jiangxue's shoulder, and couldn't help but wet his eyes.

"Call Meng Teike... Uncle Master."

Man Jiangxue hugged her even tighter and said, "Card silkworm peptide!

Uncontrollably overflowing with joy in her heart, Yin Qiu turned her head, her tearful eyes were like mountains and lakes covered with mist, she cried and laughed and asked: "Really?"

"Really," Man Jiangxue looked back at her, "of course it is true."

The drowsy sky light came through the window screens, covering the two people who embraced each other in one place, the sound of the wind outside covered all the possible noises, the world was obviously so noisy, but it was so peaceful.

"Uncle Master must be exhausted," Yin Qiu fought back tears, not letting them fall, "also lost weight."

Man Jiangxue covered Yin Qiu's eyes with her hand, letting the wet tears wither in her palm, she smiled and said, "I'm not tired, my uncle won't be tired."

Yin Qiu looked at her bewilderedly.

"You are too thin," Man Jiangxue weighed the person in his arms, and said, "Hold your hands tightly, eat more and try to gain weight."

Yin Qiu was extremely moved, and leaned against Man Jiangxue and said, "Uncle Master..."

"It's okay, just wake up," Man Jiangxue rubbed Yin Qiu's messy hair, "This time, the uncle didn't protect you well, and the uncle promised you that I won't let you alone again, you go Where are you, mommy, okay?"

Yin Qiu quietly shed tears and agreed: "Okay..."

"Stop crying," Man Jiangxue wiped Yin Qiu's eyes again, and said softly, "It won't be pretty anymore if you cry."

Yin Qiu looked at her, smiled through tears, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm not pretty at all."

Man Jiangxue said: "Who said that? She is beautiful. Xiao Qiu has been beautiful since she was a child." She said, caressing Yin Qiu's cheek meticulously, and kissed her at the end of her eyes, "Xiao Qiu is the most beautiful. "

Sensing her lips brushing gently at the end of her eyes, Yin Qiu froze slightly, and then recalled many fragmented pictures.

I don't know if it was a dream or it really happened. In those pictures, Man Jiangxue seemed to be kissing her all the time, no matter it was day or night.

The heartbeat quickened for a moment, and Yin Qiu's pale face suddenly had two blushes. She lowered her head under Man Jiangxue's gentle eyes, and said softly, "Zhou... Aunt Ji's pretext... "

"So what?" Man Jiangxue didn't care, "Uncle Master won't despise you."

Yin Qiu's face turned even redder.

Man Jiangxue bent the corners of her lips, freed one hand to pick up the clear porridge beside the couch, and said, "Eat something to fill your stomach first, and you shouldn't eat too much right now. Drink the medicine after you finish your food, and uncle will take you to take a bath?"

Yin Qiu didn't dare to look at her, so he buried his face in Man Jiangxue's chest, and muffled "Yes".

Man Jiangxue looked at her for a while, raised and lowered the spoon in her hand, and said, "What are you doing hiding? Eat first."

Yin Qiu moved his head and exposed his eyes, but he didn't look at Man Jiangxue, but whispered, "Master, hello..."

Man Jiangxue brought the spoon to her lips again.

Yin Qiu opened his mouth to eat, swallowed it very slowly, Man Jiangxue was not in a hurry, waited for her to swallow, and then continued to feed, until the remaining half bowl of porridge was bottomed out, Yin Qiu's face was still red with.

Seeing that she was even shy, at this point, Man Jiangxue's heart was completely calmed down, she put the empty bowl back, called to the door, and soon heard the hurried footsteps of her disciples All the way from the end of the corridor to the door, but they didn't know why they didn't knock on the door, and they didn't come in directly. They just stood outside and asked, "What's your order?"

Man Jiangxue looked at the huddled figure on the door, paused before saying, "Go and bring the medicine."

After she finished speaking, she saw a disciple push the door lightly and put his head in first. Seeing that Yin Qiu was still huddled in Man Jiangxue's arms, the disciple brought the things in with a low eyebrow, looked at the ground and said : "The medicine has been prepared a long time ago, just wait for the uncle to speak."

Man Jiangxue took the decoction and said after a moment of silence: "Why are you burying your head so low?"

Hearing this, the disciple quickly raised his head to look at Man Jiangxue and Yin Qiu, said nothing, just smirked twice, and ran out quickly.

Yin Qiu looked at his figure, and met Man Jiangxue's gaze for a moment, then moved away like an electric shock.

Man Jiangxue was holding the medicine bowl, and she couldn't help being a little ironic, but her face was very calm, and she signaled Yin Qiu to turn to face herself with her eyes, lowered her head casually, and drank the medicine very skillfully.

Seeing her movements clearly, Yin Qiu blinked, showing some doubts.

Man Jiangxue was about to lean towards her reflexively, but after seeing the expression on Yin Qiu's face, she paused slightly, and finally swallowed the medicine.

Yin Qiu moved his lips, and was about to ask a question, when Man Jiangxue said first: "... I want you to be worried about Yun Yuntan!

Yin Qiu was convinced, "Oh" and asked obediently: "Is that hot?"

Man Jiangxue passed the medicine bowl to Yin Qiu as if nothing had happened, and said, "It's not hot." After finishing speaking, she continued slowly, "You drink it yourself."

Yin Qiu had already gulped down two mouthfuls, then raised his eyes to look at Man Jiangxue again when he heard the words.

Although she didn't speak, her eyes conveyed: Is the emperor here to drink?

Man Jiangxue glanced at her, shifted her gaze a little, and said, "... finish drinking."

The author has something to say: oh... the handshake setting of the manuscript box is set to ten o'clock, and the golden nine o'clock file is gone...
