Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

Incense was lit in the hall, it was Man Jiangxue's usual smell, there was no one else in Shen Xing Hall, Jingyue Peak had little business, the new disciples were all practicing swords in Fenglin, only Yin Qiu and Man Jiang were here. Jiang Xue and two people.

very quiet.

The snow that had accumulated on the eaves for a long time began to melt gradually recently, and the snow water trickled down the tiles and fell in the courtyard like a transparent bead curtain.Listening to the sound of water, Yin Qiu squeezed into Man Jiangxue's arms again. She blushed and her heart beat, hiding in the narrow darkness, feeling very ashamed for the kiss and touch just now.

Man Jiangxue simply lay down and let Yin Qiu pillow in her arms. The two looked at each other briefly, and Yin Qiu looked away like an electric shock.

Seeing her avoiding her sight, Man Jiangxue stretched out her hand to straighten Yin Qiu's messy hair, and said, "It's not the first time I've kissed you, and you still want to be shy?"

Yin Qiu couldn't hear what she said at the moment, so he couldn't help covering his face and pretending to be deaf and dumb.

If it was just a kiss, Yin Qiu would not be embarrassed to look at Jiangxue, but the touch around her waist was still there, as if the hand was still touching her gently, lingering for a moment, hard to ignore , also unforgettable.

Even though it's not that she hasn't been touched by Man Jiangxue like this, but that was all when she was a child. How could the Yin Qiu a few years ago be the same as the Yin Qiu now?And today's Man Jiangxue is no longer the original Man Jiangxue.

In short, the relationship between them has undergone earth-shaking changes, so the physical contact that was used to in the past has naturally changed in nature now, and it is not the same thing.

"It's cold on the ground," said Man Jiangxue, "sit up."

Yin Qiu looked at her from between his fingers, and asked, "Why aren't Master Shi Shu shy?"

Man Jiangxue said: "I'm already at this age, why should I be ashamed?"

Yin Qiu was quiet for a while, then said: "Any age should be shy... What about when my uncle was my age? Wouldn't he be shy?"

"When I was your age, I didn't have a chance to be shy," Man Jiangxue said, and sat up with Yin Qiu, "How long are you going to block this hand?"

Yin Qiu shyly put down his hand, and asked her seriously: "Then what should I do to make my uncle as shy as me?"

Man Jiangxue said: "Let me be ashamed, what good will it do you?"

Yin Qiu said: "I just haven't seen it, I'm curious."

Man Jiangxue thought for a while and said, "I don't know either. If you're really curious, you can try it later."

"How to try?" Yin Qiu asked humbly.

"You can try whatever you want," Man Jiangxue laughed and joked, "But you are too thin-skinned, maybe you will be shy before I get shy, are you sure you want to try?"

Yin Qiu hurriedly waved his hands: "Forget it..."

Man Jiangxue bent her lips, pulled Yin Qiu to stand up from the soft satin, and said, "I heard that Huai Wei woke up earlier, we should go and see her."

Yin Qiu nodded, picked up the cup of tea on the table and drank it down in one gulp. After the kiss just now, she was hot and thirsty, one cup was not enough, so she poured a second cup.Man Jiangxue sat down at the table, seeing that she was drinking water in such a hurry, she reminded her: "Drink slowly, don't choke."

Yin Qiu raised his eyelashes and asked her, "Do you want a drink?"

Man Jiangxue let out a "huh".

Yin Qiu immediately filled up the tea again, and held the teacup to Man Jiangxue's lips. Man Jiangxue was about to raise his hand to take it, but Yin Qiu retracted his hands and said with a smile, "I'll feed you."

Man Jiangxue took a look at her, then lowered her head to take a sip, Yin Qiu stared at her for a while, and suddenly a thought came to her mind.She pursed her lips and smiled silently, walked two steps and stood in front of Man Jiangxue, and asked, "Aren't you thirsty? I just drank a little."

Hearing this, Man Jiangxue glanced at her again, raised her brow slightly and said, "Do you want me to finish drinking?"

As if to confirm something, Yin Qiu asked again: "Then are you still thirsty?"

Noticing that the expression on her face seemed to be full of anticipation and subtle cunning, Man Jiangxue said, "I'm not thirsty, what's wrong?"

"Why aren't you thirsty?" Yin Qiusha said seriously, "I'm so thirsty, my uncle should be as thirsty as me."

Hearing this, Man Jiangxue realized in an instant that she might have some small thoughts, so she cooperated with Yin Qiu calmly and said, "Okay, I'm very thirsty, and then what?"

Yin Qiu replied immediately: "Then I'll feed you!"

Although she didn't understand why she had to force herself to drink water, seeing that Yin Qiu's mood was obviously much better than before, Man Jiangxue didn't intend to disturb Yin Qiu's interest.She shook her head and laughed lightly, then nodded again and moved towards the teacup in Yin Qiu's hand. Yin Qiu saw her movement, but stopped her and said, "Master, don't move."

Man Jiangxue stopped immediately.

Yin Qiu was very satisfied, and commanded: "Close your eyes," and added, "No peeking."

Man Jiangxue's eyes were inquiring, but she still didn't ask what she wanted to do. After hearing this, she closed her eyes again.

Darkness fell quickly, vision was lost, and all the scenes in the bedroom disappeared in an instant, only Yin Qiu's figure remained in front of his eyes.

Man Jiangxue closed her eyes and tilted her head at the moment when she lost her vision. Her ear tips moved slightly, and she heard a very small sound of water, as if Yin Qiu took another sip of tea, followed by a crisp sound on the table. The teacup was placed on the table, and then there was a rustling sound of cloth rubbing against each other.Although she closed her eyes, she could still feel the light in front of her dimming, as if Yin Qiu was approaching her.

Secretly thinking about Yin Qiu's actions in her mind, Man Jiangxue hadn't guessed what she wanted to do. The next moment, a wet lip gently pressed against hers. At the same time, there was an abnormal Soft and greasy things also came in, and the warm tea poured in instantly, filling Jiangxue's lips and teeth immediately.

The fragrance of tea spread out and filled her nostrils. Man Jiangxue slipped her throat and was forced to swallow the water Yin Qiu fed her.

Not long after, Yin Qiu raised his head, and Man Jiangxue also opened his eyes. With their eyes facing each other, the two looked at each other quietly, and neither of them spoke.

Against the light outside the window, Man Jiangxue's fair and beautiful face was hidden in the gloom, looking a little inexplicably deep.Her brows and eyes were soft and her expression was calm, as if she wasn't surprised by what Yin Qiu just did.

Yin Qiu looked her back and forth for a long time, and saw that Man Jiangxue was sitting motionless on the wooden chair, with no expression on his face, let alone a word, and couldn't help being frustrated: "Why didn't you react at all?"

Man Jiangxue wanted to laugh, but she held back, and asked back, "How should I react?"

Yin Qiu said, "Shouldn't you feel shy when I suddenly treat you like this?"

When Man Jiangxue heard this, she really couldn't laugh or cry, she kept calm and said, "Didn't you just say that you don't want to try?"

Yin Qiu sighed: "Didn't I just want to try it on a temporary basis... It turns out that the uncle is really not shy."

Man Jiangxue said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you." After speaking, she finally showed a little smile, looked at Yin Qiu leisurely and said, "So are you shy now?"

"Not at all," Yin Qiu said uncomfortably with dodgy eyes, "it's just a bit embarrassing..."

Man Jiangxue said: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, I won't laugh at you."

On the contrary, Yin Qiu hoped that she could laugh at herself. Man Jiangxue was so calm, so she wanted to find a corner to hide quickly.Yin Qiu had no choice but to find something to say: "Then why are you still motionless? I have already tried everything."

Man Jiangxue said: "Didn't you tell me not to move?"

Yin Qiu rubbed the center of his brows, and said dejectedly, "Oh...then I allow you to move now, so go ahead."

Man Jiangxue then leaned back in the chair and said, "Is there no more water?"

Yin Qiu said, "Well, I won't feed you anymore."

"That can't be done," Man Jiangxue said, "I'm still thirsty, let's go on."

Yin Qiu was taken aback, and looked at Man Jiangxue sadly: "Master... I was just kidding with you."

Man Jiangxue said, "Is it fun?"

Yin Qiu observed her expression and said uncertainly, "Is it fun...?"

"Keep playing if you're having fun," Man Jiangxue took the teacup from the table, handed it to Yin Qiu and said, "I'll play with you for a day."

Yin Qiu quickly changed his words: "I'm talking nonsense, it's not fun, I won't play!"

"But I think it's fun," Man Jiangxue said relentlessly, wanting to tease her, "Would you like to continue playing with me?"

At this moment, Yin Qiu deeply understood why he was shooting himself in the foot with a stone. She sighed and took the teacup over, and said with a sigh: "Since Master still wants to play, then I'll just play with you..."

Man Jiangxue saw that she poured another sip of tea into her mouth and looked listless, so she changed her mind again and said, "Forget it, it seems that there is no fun, so let's stop playing."

Yin Qiu puffed his cheeks, and was about to accuse her of being too deceitful, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps from the outer hall, and a familiar voice shouted: "Xiao Qiu! Is Xiao Qiu here?"

As soon as Yin Qiu heard the voice, she knew who was coming, she quickly swallowed the tea in her mouth, and replied: "Bai Ling is back? I'm in the bedroom!"

As soon as the words fell, the heavy curtain was lifted, and Bai Ling, who had been down the mountain for a long time, entered in a hurry.As soon as the three of them met, Bai Ling saluted Man Jiangxue, and said solemnly: "Uncle Master is really good at predicting things, something happened to Fu Xiang."

Man Jiangxue frowned, and looked sideways at Yin Qiu.

The worries of the past few days have become true, and all the pleasures that Yin Qiu had just played with Man Jiangxue disappeared, and she asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Bai Ling has been jolting on horseback for half a month, and she was so tired that she lost a lot of weight. She drank a few cups of tea to quench her thirst, sat down with her hands on the corner of the table, and said, "It's such a coincidence that I arrived that day Mingyuelou, I met Fu Xiang, and just after handing over your letter to her, the landlord Fu came over aggressively, saying that Mrs. Fu had lost her fetus in her womb, and all the evidence pointed to Fu Xiang. Furious, I abolished Fu Xiangshao's identity as the landlord on the spot, and imprisoned her. I should have come back earlier to report, but I was really worried, so I hid in the dark and watched the movement for a few days, and saw that Fu Xiang was only imprisoned. But I didn't have any fear of my life, so I hurried back."

Hearing what she said, Yin Qiu couldn't help but feel his heart sink.

The last thing I wanted to see happened after all.

"Where was Fu Xiang imprisoned?" Yin Qiu asked after a moment of silence.

"The confinement room in Mingyue Tower," Bai Ling said, "is heavily guarded and no one is allowed to visit. I was afraid that those who dealt with her would take this opportunity to kill her, so I stayed in Jinhuai City for a few more days. From my observations, Mingyue Tower is very well guarded, and I haven't seen any suspicious people approaching Fu Xiang during the few days I watched in secret."

"Ms. Fu's accident happened, and the first person to be suspicious of Master Fu must be her," Yin Qiu said, "We only guessed that that person might be unfavorable to Fu Xiang, but we didn't expect him to come out like this. Presumably that person must have considered that Fu Xiang's kung fu is not weak, and he lives in seclusion, so it's not easy to kill her, so he picked another direction to attack."

"If he goes directly at Fu Xiang himself, with Fu Xiang's skills, he may not be able to please him," Bai Ling said, "But in this case, Fu Xiang has no love for Fu Xiang. With this For the latter matter, in order to give an explanation to the Luo family, he will hand over Fu Xiang sooner or later, and Fu Xiang can't run away. If she runs away, she is guilty of guilt, but if she doesn't run away, she will die. We have to find a way to save her. "

Although Yin Qiuchu was shocked when he heard this, he quickly calmed down, looked at Man Jiangxue and said, "This matter... I'm afraid it's not easy for us to come forward."

Man Jiangxue nodded: "After all, it's the Fu family's business, and we are so far apart, it's really not easy to come forward."

"Then what should we do?" Bai Ling said, "Fu Xiang lost her position as the young landlord and became a murder suspect. Now who else can save her except us? I heard that the Luo family is a big family in Jinhuai City, and the two families are married. How could the Luo family let it go? Besides, once the news got out, rumors spread all over the city, saying that Mrs. Fu had been married to Mrs. Fu for many years but had never been able to conceive. Maybe it was Fu Xiang who got in the way. Hands and feet. Now that she has become the target of public criticism, if she is not cleared of this crime, how can she gain a foothold in Mingyue Tower in the future?"

Yin Qiu pondered for a moment, softened his face, and said: "Although Fu Xiang's situation is not good, we don't need to worry about her for a short time. People who are more worried than us now are going to lose their dreams. I guess she will definitely There are countermeasures, but this countermeasure...is hard to think about."

"That person wanted to deal with Meng Wugui, and Fu Xiang had an accident right after him," Man Jiangxue said, "Then Nangong Min would quickly guess that Mingyuelou was related to Meng Wugui, and Meng Wugui was as good as he was. If this problem is not solved as soon as possible, her passive situation will be worsened, and Nangong Min will definitely not miss this opportunity to suppress her."

Yin Qiu said: "Then can I meet Meng Wugui? In fact, as long as she tells me who that person is, everything will be easy."

Man Jiangxue said: "It's not that simple. As long as you make a move, that person will be able to detect it in time. He even knows Zhilan's movements so well, let alone you and me? Once he finds out, we will have nothing to do with Meng." Contact Gui, it is a trivial matter for him to escape, and it is impossible to prevent him from killing you. Meng Wugui has always refused to meet you, not only to protect your safety, but also to stabilize that person, otherwise she would It's time to see you. This is a deadlock. Neither you nor her can communicate with each other on the bright side. That person hides in the dark and stares at all of us. No matter how we hide our eyes and ears, he will always be noticed. possible, so you can’t take risks lightly.”

After listening to her words, Bai Ling echoed after thinking: "Yes, Xiaoqiu, you can worry about Fu Xiang, we are all worried about her, but you'd better not go out of the palace, you will be punished by Senior Sister Ye if you stay in the palace." Once taken captive, the outside will only be more dangerous. Hidden arrows are hard to guard against, even if the uncle wants to protect you, but if something happens, she can't predict it, so you must stay by the uncle's side, try not to Order."

"I understand what you said," Yin Qiu sighed, "It's just that Fu Xiang was safe and sound when you left, but we don't know if she will encounter any danger in the few days after you come back."

If it were before, Yin Qiu would not have to worry about her too much. Fu Xiang was always smart and quick-witted, and she was outstanding when she was still in the palace.But after returning to Mingyue Tower in the past few years, I have to say that Fu Xiang has actually changed a lot. She doesn't want to be a young landlord, but wants to force herself to dream of nothing. , There is no warmth at all between father and daughter.

Staying in such an environment, Fu Xiang is no longer the cheerful Fu Xiang she used to be. She may be able to talk and laugh when she meets Yin Qiu, but in the Mingyue Tower, apart from practicing her mind hard every day, There is almost no contact with other people, and no friends.Now this happened suddenly, she was alone, if she only hoped for Meng Wugui to rescue her, it would be too late.

But the current situation is already in front of her eyes. Yin Qiu cannot leave the palace, even if she goes to Jinhuai City, it will not be of much help. She may encounter another accident. For the present plan, she can only wait for Meng Wu Come to think of a plan.

"It would be great if I could get in touch with my adoptive father," Yin Qiu said, "Fanxingu is far away from these disputes, he is the most suitable person to bridge the gap between us and Meng Wugui, even now I have doubts about him, but You can also use this matter to test whether he is that person, but it's a pity..."

Man Jiangxue patted Yin Qiu and comforted him: "Relax first, Fu Xiang should also have the ability to protect herself, at least she won't lose her life because of this, and the matter is not completely helpless, so don't worry too much for now. "

Yin Qiu responded, stood up with a frown, and said, "Then I'll go back to my room to see if the bamboo branch is still there."

After she finished speaking, she closed the curtain and walked out of the dormitory. Bai Ling looked at her back and said in a daze, "Why did you mention Fanxin Valley again? Does Xiaoqiu have a adoptive father?"

Man Jiangxue fell silent for a moment, ignored Bai Ling's two questions, and said inexplicably, "It's really time for you to come back."

——It took her a lot of effort to make Yin Qiu feel better, and forget about these troubles, but this time it fell short again.

"You don't seem to be praising me," Bai Ling scratched his head, and said a little nervously, "...Did I disturb you?"

Man Jiangxue was silent for a while, and then said: "You have worked hard these days, go back to Liuli Peak to rest, the palace has already started preparing for the late enthronement ceremony in the past few days, as a disciple of Liuli Peak, you have to help Just help. Keep your spirits up, and forget about everything else."

Bai Ling let out an "oh", obediently complied, and bid farewell tactfully.

She left Shen Xingdian, dragged her tired body back to Liuli Peak, everyone was soaking in the soup pool, Bai Ling was still thinking: It's over, she seems to have really disturbed something...
