Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

Man Jiangxue was sitting in the front hall. The food on the table was hot and hot. She didn't eat a bite, and she didn't even move her chopsticks.

The sky had already darkened, and the rain had not stopped. The plantains in the yard were knocked upside down by the heavy rain, and lost two green ribbon-like leaves. The steps were blocked outside the porch, so the dots of color stayed there, wrapped in the light from the lantern, and all reflected in Man Jiangxue's eyes.

"I found nothing, and I still can't find any way." Meng Jing folded the medical books on the small table, and the frustration was palpable. "For the current plan, I can only go back to the palace and ask the master if the old man has a solution. Here The conditions are simple, not as complete as the medical books in the library, and I have little knowledge, so I really can't find a good way to dissolve the poison."

Man Jiangxue held the scroll with one hand, leaned lazily on the wicker chair, and looked at the rain scene outside thoughtfully.

"I think Yin Qiu can walk around freely, and it shouldn't be a problem to go on the road." Meng Jing hugged the medical book in her arms and looked at Man Jiangxue, "Master, when are we going back to the palace?"

They have been stranded in Wei City for almost a month this time, if something happened to Yin Qiu, they should have returned to Yunhua Palace a long time ago.

Man Jiangxue thought for a moment and said, "I'll discuss with her after Xiaoqiu comes back."

Meng Jing looked at the sky and saw that it was raining so heavily outside, so she couldn't help feeling a little worried: "At this time, people haven't come back yet, and Yin Qiu is still wounded, why don't you wait, uncle, you can use it later After dinner, I'll pick her up right now."

Man Jiangxue put the scroll in her hand aside, looked at Meng Jing carefully, then got up and said: "No need, you are still hurt, I will go."

Meng Jing responded, and immediately took an umbrella and came over, Man Jiangxue put on a brocade robe, the two of them entered the corridor just now, before they had time to go down the steps, Yin Qiu came back with an umbrella on his own.

Meng Jing was about to hand the oil-paper umbrella to Man Jiangxue, when she saw Yin Qiu's figure, she took her hand back. She stood by the railing and looked at Yin Qiu from afar, when a white shadow flashed in her eyes, Man Jiangxue didn't even want an umbrella , actually braved the rain and walked towards Yin Qiu quickly.

Seeing this scene, Meng Jing's footsteps moved slightly. He wanted to keep up with Man Jiangxue, but Man Jiangxue moved too fast. When Meng Jing realized it, Yin Qiu had already raised the eaves of the umbrella to reveal a gentle and quiet smile. Then leaned slightly to approach her, and at the same time raised his hand to hold the ribs of the umbrella, and took the umbrella from Yin Qiu's hand.

The two stood in the rain, as if no one wanted to go back to the house to avoid the rain as soon as possible, the rain was too loud, Meng Jing couldn't hear what they said, and could only see Yin Qiu looking at Man Jiangxue with an inexplicable smile in his eyes Lingering, and Man Jiangxue's clear profile also had a smile that he didn't usually have.

Meng Jing was stunned for some reason, because of the scene in front of her, she felt somewhat indescribable.

She unconsciously clenched the handle of the umbrella in her hand, staring at the two somewhat similar figures, a strange emotion filled her heart for a moment.

"Okay, don't look at it, is it that good-looking?" Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice sounded from behind.

Meng Jing was startled, turned her head hastily, and saw Bai Ling leaning against the wall with his hands folded across his chest, coughing in a low voice, and said with a half-smile, "Where's the medicine I asked you to boil for me earlier? Wait a minute." I haven't seen you for a long time."

Meng Jing glanced at her, and immediately left and said: "I was talking to my uncle just now, and I will prepare the medicine for you now."

Bai Ling looked at her inexplicably for a while, and immediately followed Meng Jing's side. When the two reached the corner, Bai Ling looked back at the two people in the courtyard, hesitated for a moment, and then said: " Meng Jing, I have something to do... I think I need to tell you."

Meng Jing didn't look at her, but looked ahead and said, "What's the matter?"

Bai Ling measured her out of the corner of his eye, and said: "This time Xiaoqiu was seriously injured, and she has been unconscious for many days. The situation is very critical. You may not know it in Cang County. These days, my uncle has been guarding by the bed almost every night. Looking at Xiaoqiu, we haven't had a good night's sleep, we can't help you, so we can only wait outside. Xiaoqiu's ability to move around so quickly is all due to the care of my uncle. Master uncle, Xiaoqiu is probably still lying on the hospital bed."

Meng Jing didn't quite understand why she suddenly mentioned this, and said, "I know this, what's wrong?"

Bai Ling cleared his throat, looked around, saw no one passing by, and then continued: "I want to tell you, during the few days when Xiaoqiu was in a coma, whether she drank water or medicine, it was all Uncle Shi personally fed her, understand?"

Meng Jing was confused when he heard this, so he couldn't help but stop at the same spot, looked sideways at Bai Ling, and said, "I also know this, what's the matter?"

Seeing that she didn't seem to understand what he meant at all, Bai Ling couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "It's a pity that you are still a medical student, I have made my words so clear, and you still keep asking me what's wrong , Let me ask you, what should I do to feed the medicine to a person who is unconscious?"

Meng Jing said without hesitation: "In fact, if a person is unconscious, feeding water and eating are taboos. A little carelessness may cause the patient to suffocate to death. If you don't get timely medical treatment, you may die, so even if you want to give medicine, you have to pry open your lips and teeth, use a spoon to press the base of your tongue and feed it bit by bit, and you must be careful during the process. Concentrate on—”

Before she could finish her words, Bai Ling showed a speechless expression and interrupted Meng Jing: "I beg you, don't tell me so much. I don't want to study medicine. I don’t bother to listen. Let me ask you again, what if you don’t use a spoon? How should you feed it?”

Meng Jing frowned and asked in confusion, "What exactly are you trying to say...?"

Bai Ling couldn't do anything about her, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "What are you...you are so anxious to death! Besides feeding with a spoon, is there another way to feed her with your mouth! Do you really not know or pretend you can't?" Know?!"

Meng Jing paused, raised her eyelashes abruptly, and said with surprise, "You mean..."

Seeing that she finally understood, Bai Lingchang let out a long sigh of relief: "That's right, it's exactly what you think."

Meng Jing's complexion changed a few times, and after a long while in a hoarse voice, he said with a complicated expression: "So this is what you want to tell me?"

Bai Ling nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Meng Jing's shoulder again: "At least we are in the same family, I'll do a good deed, and I'll give you a reminder."

Meng Jing clenched her palms secretly, but her face remained calm: "What do you remind?"

Bai Ling glanced at her, and said with his hands: "You don't have to pretend in front of me? I know what you think about Xiao Qiu. I just want to remind you that Xiao Qiu has no father or mother. Her Marriage matters must be decided by the uncle, if you are interested in Xiaoqiu, you have to pass the hurdle of the uncle first."

The two figures in the courtyard suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, Meng Jing's heart tightened, and the umbrella bone in her hand rattled.

"There is no such thing as you said." After a long time, Meng Jing restrained the fluctuations in his heart, and said with difficulty, "I have no unreasonable thoughts about Yin Qiu, I only regard her as a friend."

Bai Ling wanted to admonish her a few more words, but seeing Meng Jing's expression was a little heavy and cold, so he wisely didn't say any more, and tried his best to speak in a relaxed tone: "If you really think so, of course it would be best gone."

·

Yin Qiu was holding the hem of her skirt, and was led by Man Jiangxue through the rain curtain into the porch. She put the open umbrella on the ground, seeing that Man Jiangxue's originally clean cloud boots were soaked through at the moment, she couldn't help sighing and laughing Said: "Seeing that I have arrived in a few steps, my uncle doesn't need to pick me up in the courtyard."

Man Jiangxue draped the brocade robe on her shoulders to Yin Qiu, and led her to the wing, saying, "Why did you take so long to come back?"

Yin Qiu got a little cold from the wind, coughed twice, and said, "I almost missed it. Fortunately, Fu Xiang is still willing to see me. After all, if we haven't seen each other for five years, there will always be a lot to say."

The two talked all the way back to the room, Man Jiangxue changed into clean clothes, and asked someone to bring hot water, Yin Qiu took a bath inside the screen, and at the same time talked about all the things that he and Fu Xiang talked about today. I narrated it with Man Jiangxue.

The room was filled with hot and humid air, the windows could not keep out the cold wind, white mist billowed in the room, and the candles were flickering. Man Jiangxue knelt in front of the short feet, took hot water to warm the medicine Yin Qiu wanted to drink, and said : "Meng Wugui has planned it for a long time. If Fu Xiang ascends to the position of landlord in the future, Mingyue Tower will also be held in Meng Wugui's hands."

"She came to me a few years ago, but she was one step behind my uncle," Yin Qiu said, "and she hasn't recognized me for so many years, she should be afraid of the Ziwei sect and destroying Ruyimen. A murderer who doesn't want to expose herself, but this time Wei Cheng and his party, she suddenly lured all of us out, what does she want to do?"

Man Jiangxue said: "Her purpose is easy to guess. It is nothing more than revenge and rebuilding the Ruyi Gate. I didn't recognize you before, not only because I didn't want to expose myself, but also for your safety. Now that you have grown up, you have been able to face her. For these things, and with a certain self-protection ability, for Meng Wugui, now is naturally a good time to mature."

"Then why is she still refusing to see me?" Yin Qiu said, "After I parted with Fu Xiang, I proposed to meet Meng Wugui, but Afu said that Meng Wugui didn't want to see me, and asked me to come back as soon as possible. Go to the palace, don't stay in Weicheng for a long time."

"Because Nangong Min still doesn't know about your relationship with her," Man Jiangxue said, "If Nangong Min knew Meng Wugui's true identity, he would definitely not let her go. For the surviving descendants of the Shen family, Nangong Min destroyed the Ruyi Gate, so she would naturally be afraid of Meng Wugui and seek revenge from her. That is to say, you are still in a passive and dangerous situation right now. Anyone can attack you at any time, so as to hold Meng to nowhere."

What's more, apart from Nangong Min, there is also the mastermind behind the disciples of the dark guards. Meng Wugui has to face not only the Ziwei Cult. If she reveals her identity at this time, Nangong Min may very well Team up with that person to deal with her, and she can't save Yin Qiu, and Fu Xiang hasn't really become the owner of Mingyue Tower, and he still can't get rid of the status quo of being alone and weak.

"That's why she took the initiative to reveal her identity to the uncle, just hoping to get your support," Yin Qiufan suddenly realized, "but what she wants is not only revenge, but also the rebuilt Ruyimen to win the world, but to achieve it Jianghu, apart from dealing with the Ziwei Sect, also needs to take down the Yunhua Palace."

Right now, Yunhua Palace is the largest sect in the world, followed by the Ziwei Sect, which is full of evil. Let alone the other sects, Meng Wugui has such huge ambitions, trying to bring down these two sects by himself is almost impossible. Arabian Nights.

Furthermore, there are nine hall masters in the Nine Immortals Hall, and Meng Wugui is only one of them. She has no ability to deploy the entire Nine Immortals Hall for her use. Not impossible.

As long as Man Jiangxue is willing to help her, it is no exaggeration to say that Yunhua Palace is basically within reach. As long as Man Jiangxue says a word, Xie Yijun can abdicate at any time to give way to the virtuous. She would not be afraid of the Ziwei Sect at all, she and Man Jiangxue fought together, killing Nangong Min was a breeze, and as for the people behind the disciples of the dark guard, they were naturally even more insignificant.

"It's a pity that I won't help her," Man Jiangxue said in a calm tone, "Unless she can tell who the person behind the disciple of the dark guard is, but if I don't help, she won't tell, so we can only continue in a stalemate, and she can't help it." I can only do nothing and continue to keep a distance from you."

If Meng Wugui is just for revenge, Man Jiangxue may still have room for consideration in terms of Shen Mandong and Yin Qiu's face, but Meng Wugui wants to become the overlord of the martial arts, Man Jiangxue really helped her, who can guarantee Meng Wugui Will No Return become the next Nangong Min?

Man Jiangxue would not hand over the Yunhua Palace to someone whose intentions were unknown, let alone make the Yunhua Palace a sharp weapon for revenge.

The sects are fighting and the world is in turmoil. How many innocent people will die at that time?With such a risk and such a price, it is absolutely impossible for Man Jiangxue to agree to never return to her dream.

"But she told Nangong Min the news about my mother," Yin Qiu looked down at the water, and said in a deep thought, "It has been so many days, but Nangong Min has never shown his face in Weicheng. Why did you bring her here?"

Man Jiangxue said: "There is only one possibility, and that is that Meng Wugui wanted to test whether Nangong Minhui knew about the existence of that person, and Nangong Minhui came to Weicheng to confirm the life and death of the senior sister. After all, the holy sword has been lost for many years. I will not let go of any chance to recover the Holy Sword."

Yin Qiu said: "Wen Chaoyu would save me, but it wasn't Nangong Min's intention. Does this mean that Nangong Min didn't know about that person's existence?"

"She must know," Man Jiangxue said, "otherwise, how could she guess that someone might kill you based on Meng Wugui's news about Senior Sister, and even go to remind you herself?"

Yin Qiu thought for a while, and said, "That's true..." She scooped up water to wash her face, lifted her spirits, and said, "So right now, both Nangong Min and Meng Wugui must be aware that the other party also knows that person. So is it possible that the two of them will join forces secretly instead? Since the uncle is unwilling to help, Meng Wugui will definitely find someone else to form an alliance, even if this person is Nangong Min."

Man Jiangxue said: "It depends on whether there is any enmity between Nangong Min and that person. If she also has an unknown grievance with that person, she may be willing to join forces with Meng Wugui, but the premise is that before she is still Without knowing who Meng Wugui is."

Hearing this, Yin Qiu's heart suddenly moved, he turned around and lay down on the edge of the bathtub, looked at Man Jiangxue's shadow through the screen and said: "So, what Meng Wugui refused to tell us, Nangong Min I know."

Man Jiangxue raised her head when she heard the words, looked back at Yin Qiu, and said, "You want to ask Nangong Min what happened?"

Through the screen, neither of them could actually see each other clearly, but neither of them looked away, just looking at each other vaguely.Yin Qiu said: "Is it not possible? She came here to remind me, which is considered a kindness. I asked to see me on the grounds of thanking her. She should meet me."

Man Jiangxue said: "But she may not necessarily tell you what you want to know."

"But now there are two things that need to be clarified," Yin Qiu said, "One is the mastermind behind the disciples of the hidden guards, I don't believe it's Senior Sister Ye, she doesn't have that kind of weight to make Meng Wugui fear like this, as for her It’s not a spy of the Ziwei sect, so this can be left out for the time being. The second is that Wen Zhaoyu heard someone’s words and wanted to come to rescue me. Since it wasn’t the order from Nangong Min, who is that person, and does Nangong Min know him? That person wants to do it again. What? If I were to investigate these two matters by myself, there would be no way to find out, and I can't think of any other way except to ask Nangong Min."

Man Jiangxue was quiet for a moment, and said: "I have asked Wan Shu to ask about the person who asked Wen Chaoyu to save you."

Yin Qiu said: "Really? Then why didn't my uncle mention it to me?"

Man Jiangxue paused, but did not answer the question, but changed the topic: "The water should be cold, why don't you come out?"

Yin Qiu had no choice but to get out of the bathtub quickly, quickly wiped off the water stains, put on the clothes hastily, and hurriedly ran out of the screen, and asked Man Jiangxue, "Who is it?"

Man Jiangxue glanced at her, held up the soup beside him, and said, "Guess who it is?"

Yin Qiu downed the bowl of medicine in one gulp, rinsed his mouth with tea, and said, "How do you guess? Don't be fooled, uncle, tell me quickly."

Man Jiangxue said nothing, and waved to Yin Qiu. Yin Qiu looked at her, then put down his teacup and walked towards Man Jiangxue. Before she could sit down on her knees, Man Jiangxue stretched out her hand and pulled Yin Qiu towards her. , and said in a flat tone: "Before answering your question, you have to confess to me first, do you have anything to hide from me?"

Reflecting the waving candlelight, Man Jiangxue's downcast eyes looked a bit deep, Yin Qiu met her gaze, and couldn't help but feel puzzled: "What can I hide from my uncle?"

"Then you have to ask yourself." Man Jiangxue said.

Yin Qiu immediately began to think secretly, and after a while, she seemed to think of something suddenly, a bit of panic appeared on her face, and her eyes also dodged.

Man Jiangxue had a panoramic view of all her reactions, and when she saw it, she asked again: "Remember?"

Yin Qiu couldn't help lowering his head, and said nervously, "What I thought, was the same thing as my uncle said...?"

Hearing this, Man Jiangxue raised her eyebrows: "It seems that you are hiding more than one thing from me."

Although Yin Qiu felt guilty, he still said honestly: "No, only one."

Seeing that she buried her head and dared not look at herself, Man Jiangxue stopped teasing her and said, "Wen Chaoyu didn't tell the person's name, she only said that it was a flute player."

When Yin Qiu heard these words, he was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a strange expression.

"Do you feel contradictory?" Man Jiangxue squeezed Yin Qiu's chin, and lifted her up to face herself, "He wants to hurt you secretly, but also wants someone to save you, such a behavior is very strange, isn't it?"

Yin Qiu was forced to raise her head, bearing Man Jiangxue's blunt and wanton gaze, she moved her lips, but she didn't know what to say, and she drooped her eyelids after a long while and said, "...when did the uncle know about it?" ?”

Man Jiangxue held her tightly, without a smile on her face, and even a little uncommonly serious, she stared at Yin Qiu and said: "I have always taught you to be confident, so you are already confident enough to feel yourself Can compete with anyone, and there is no need to tell me?"

Yin Qiu heard her tone of reprimand, inevitably panicked, and hurriedly said: "No, it's not..."

"What is that?" Man Jiangxue said.

Yin Qiushuang's eggplants were like eggplants, so Man Jiangxue could only let Man Jiangxue pinch her, and said as thin as a mosquito's feet: "I'm just worried about my uncle..."

"You can say that, it only proves that you also guessed that he was going to deal with me," Man Jiangxue said, "Then do you think that if you hide this matter, you can solve it well?"

Before Yin Qiu could answer, Man Jiangxue continued, "Or, do you already have a solution to this person?"

Yin Qiu was stunned for a moment, and said discouragedly, "No..."

"I'll be angry if you're so misbehaving," Man Jiangxue said, "Fortunately, he asked Wen Chaoyu to save you this time, instead of running over to attack you personally, otherwise I'm in the Nine Immortals Hall, and you will be alone and helpless. I will lose my life, so what do you want me to do?"

Listening to her words, Yin Qiu was so ashamed and blamed himself that he couldn't say a word.

Man Jiangxue looked at her and said nothing.

The two of them became quiet, only the wind outside continued for a long time. After suffering for a while, Yin Qiu carefully raised his eyes to look at Man Jiangxue, and said, "Is Master Uncle angry? I know I'm wrong..."

Seeing her like this, Man Jiangxue couldn't get angry even if she was angry. She sighed, gently pulled Yin Qiu into her arms, and said, "You..."
