Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

Yin Qiu was surprised.

Seeing that he was about to leave after saying this, Yin Qiu hurriedly asked to stay: "Wait a minute—you mean, you are not the ones who put the cold shot in the back?"

"Of course not," the young man stopped by the window and said in a low voice, "Yifu wants to kill her to avenge Ruyimen. After all, we have all heard her conversation with you. Such a disaster is absolutely impossible for Yifu." If you want to keep her alive, you must get rid of her with your own hands to be happy. And the person behind the disciple of the hidden guard you are looking for, to be honest, the adoptive father does not know who he is, and we are still investigating secretly."

Yin Qiu immediately said: "Looking for Meng Wugui! She knows who that person is, but I can't have any contact with her. It's very appropriate for you to do this for me. That person probably doesn't know that Fanxingu is also involved. , I didn’t tell anyone other than my uncle that my adoptive father detoxified me, you are still safe now.”

The young man frowned: "In the past, when the adoptive father came to you, with his skill, he could hide it from anyone, even Man Jiangxue, but if I come to you this time, will anyone notice?" Not necessarily, if you hadn’t followed your adoptive father once to get familiar with the route, your Yunhua Palace would not be such an easy place to break into. But since you said so, I will pass on to your adoptive father, Hall Master Meng’s side is actually already there. It's time to connect."

"Then if you meet Mengwugui, you must contact me again," Yin Qiu said, "It's not an option to wait for you to find me. My foster father is seriously injured now, so I can only meet you in the future." , how can I find you?"

The young man thought about it: "My whereabouts are not definite. If the girl wants to find me, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet." He said this, took a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Yin Qiu, "This is our token of Brahma Heart Valley. , you take this thing and go to the Lianhua Street in Shangyuan City to find a powder shop, and then tell me my name, and someone will receive you then."

Yin Qiu took the jade pendant, looked at it, and asked, "Then what's your name?"

"Shen Wang," the young man nodded and said, "If you don't think about it, you will never forget it."[1]

Hearing his words, Yin Qiu frowned, looked him up and said, "Your surname is Shen?"

"The children in the valley are all surnamed Shen," the young man said. "We are all orphans adopted by foster fathers from all over the world."

Yin Qiu was very surprised, and guessed: "Could it be that foster father also..."

"That's not true," Shen Wang said, "The adoptive father's surname is not Shen, but we don't know what his surname is."

Yin Qiu couldn't help but wonder: "Since you were raised by him, don't you know nothing about him?"

Shen Wang said: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. If the adoptive father refuses to take the initiative to say it, of course we will not ask rashly, and even if I know something about the adoptive father, without his approval, I can't do it right now. Let me tell you easily."

Yin Qiu expressed his understanding, after a moment of silence, he handed the medicine bottle to him again, and said, "Then you should take this antidote, I trust the father-in-law."

"Miss Yin, trust or not is all up to you, I still can't take this medicine," Shen Wangdao, "my foster father has repeatedly told me that I can't go against his wishes without authorization, and you will meet again one day. When we meet, Miss Yin can give the antidote to foster father with her own hands. Don't worry, he is fine now, and there are many people in the valley to take care of him. It doesn't matter if the poison is cured right now."

Yin Qiu had no choice but to put the medicine bottle away again, and sighed, "That's fine."

"The words have been brought, I should go," Shen Wang said, "Miss Yin, you are in a deep crisis, you have to take care, we can't protect you anytime and anywhere, before that person shows his feet, you must be careful. "

Yin Qiu gave him a hug and said gratefully: "Thank you, you should be careful when you go down the mountain, don't be discovered by others, and you should pay attention to whether there is anyone following you behind you."

"I understand." Shen Wang bowed back, jumped out of the window immediately, and looked back, "Then I won't come to Jingyue Peak to look for you any more, and go to the incense powder shop to discuss anything."

Yin Qiu nodded in response, watching Shen Wang walking towards Fenglin, until the figure disappeared completely, she closed the window, took the jade pendant and turned to Shen Xingdian.

"So, although Zhilan was killed by Young Master Fan, he didn't ask someone to shoot that cold arrow." Man Jiangxue put on her clothes, lit up the lamps in the dormitory one by one, and stood next to Yin Qiu Sit opposite.

"That young man indeed said so." Yin Qiu put the jade pendant on the table and pushed it in front of Man Jiangxue.

It was late at night, and the spring night was filled with the fragrance of unknown wild flowers. Man Jiangxue rinsed his mouth and drank a cup of strong tea to refresh himself.She glanced at the jade pendant and said: "The two of us fell off the cliff that day. I didn't see the incident, but after waking up, I heard from Wanshu that after Zhilan was hit by an arrow and fell off the cliff, she immediately I went to track down the arrow shooter, but the rain was too heavy at that time, and her vision was blocked, not only could she not find him, but it was also difficult to find any traces."

Yin Qiu said: "There are traces of heavy rain washing away, so that person will naturally hide very well, even Senior Sister Ji will find it difficult to catch him."

"It's a good thing that Mr. Fan detoxified you and didn't say anything," Man Jiangxue said, "Otherwise, once that person finds out, he will definitely blame him."

Yin Qiu got up, washed his face with cold water, and said, "Yes, it's a good thing we are cautious. Now we can confirm that the foster father has nothing to do with the disciples of the hidden guards, so Brahma Heart Valley is very suitable for us to end our dream." Matchmaking, they act low-key, and have not broken into the public's attention for the time being, we finally ushered in another opportunity to regain the passive situation."

"And if Young Master Fan has the heart, he can also help Meng Wugui," Man Jiangxue said, "If Meng Wugui can get the Mingyue Tower, and with the secret support of Fanxin Valley, I think she will get through the current situation. After this difficulty, we will start to make some moves.”

Yin Qiu handed the wet handkerchief to Man Jiangxue, motioned for her to wipe her face, and said, "But the premise is whether the Ziwei Sect will cause confusion at this critical point. If Nangongmin takes the opportunity to find Meng Wugui, maybe she had an accident before even Fu Xiang was rescued. Uncle, I have thought a lot these days, Meng Wugui is my aunt no matter what, she is in such a bad situation, I am under attack, I really want to help her, but I don't know how to do it."

Man Jiangxue said: "Actually, you don't have to worry about her too much. She survived the Ruyimen incident and became the head of the Nine Immortals Hall, which proves that she is a capable person. And she has been dormant for many years and wants revenge. Her plan, she must have anticipated how difficult and dangerous this road of revenge would be, but she still chose this road, which shows that her determination to revenge is not easily defeated. So you have nothing to do now Not doing it, keeping yourself safe will be a huge help to her."

Yin Qiu stared at the candle lamp on the table, with fire in his eyes, and said softly: "It would be great if she only wanted revenge... I asked my adoptive father to persuade her before, and hoped that she would not deal with Yunhua Palace. I don’t know if she can listen to the words of the adoptive father. I am also a descendant of the Shen family, Meng Wugui and the adoptive father are secretly thinking about what happened back then, but I can’t do anything.”

"That's because I found you before them," Man Jiangxue said, "If not, you would have to follow one of them. Then think about it, you have to face these complicated hatreds since you were very young. That kind of you will definitely not be happier than you are now. Besides, neither of them took you away from me, which is enough to show that they don't want you to be involved in all kinds of disputes prematurely, since they both have intentions To protect you, why do you have to be hurt by it?"

Yin Qiu said: "Of course I know their good intentions, but the more they are like this, the more I feel useless. I am powerless in many things, and I don't know when this kind of life will end."

Man Jiangxue looked at her for a while, then suddenly asked: "You said earlier that the owner of Shaogu was named Shen Wang?"

Yin Qiu nodded: "I was surprised when I heard it at first, but he said that all the orphans adopted by his adoptive father were named Shen, and he was not the only one."

"Why is the surname Shen?" Man Jiangxue pondered, "Since Mr. Fan himself is not surnamed Shen, why did he give the surname Shen to his sons and daughters?"

"Maybe it's because of my mother?" Yin Qiu said, "He is an old member of Ruyimen, and he has a deep love for my mother. I don't think about it, I can't forget it. He named that young hero, and I think about it. What my mother meant.”[2]

When Man Jiangxue heard these words, there was a subtle change in his expression, as if he thought of something in an instant.But she looked at Yin Qiu, but she didn't say what was in her heart, but mentioned something else: "The identity of Young Master Fan can always be clarified in the future, but there is no rush, as long as it is clear that he will not harm It's good for you. So what are we going to do next, you know?"

Yin Qiu thought for a moment, then replied: "There is nothing I can do to help Meng Wugui. We can only wait and see what happens. Now that we know that the person who put the sniper's arrow is not the righteous father, we have to find out who that person is."

Man Jiangxue said, "How to check?"

Yin Qiu frowned slightly, and replied: "I also heard from Bai Ling about the situation that day, and now I think about one thing that seems suspicious." She looked up at Man Jiangxue, "Is it possible that the arrow shooter didn't Hiding in the distance, he actually hid among the disciples present, shot the arrow when everyone was not paying attention, and then pretended nothing happened?"

Man Jiangxue said: "It is indeed possible."

Yin Qiu continued to analyze: "That person can even form the disciples of the hidden guards, and it's not uncommon for him to have his subordinates in the palace. In this way, all the disciples with bows who went to the edge of the cliff that day will have to check."

What she said was exactly what Man Jiangxue thought.

So on the second day, Yin Qiu got up early, and went to the disciple courtyard in the palace with Bai Ling. The person who was in charge of the personnel transfer that day was a disciple of Wuhui Peak. The archery disciples who had been besieged and suppressed Ye Zhilan were summoned to the courtyard.

Yin Qiu stood on the steps and was counting the number of people in the roster one by one. Bai Ling said beside her: "After you and the uncle were sent to the medical cabinet, sister Ji has already checked this group of disciples and found nothing unusual. Remember to check them out?"

Yin Qiu said with some reservations: "I still don't worry, it's okay to check."

Bai Ling said: "It's probably useless. After we came back that day, we checked their quivers. No one shot arrows that day. Their quivers were all full. I didn't see anyone had more or less. Even if someone is hiding among these disciples, it may not be easy to find out."

"Hmm..." Yin Qiu looked at the booklet in his hand, and when he reached the end of the list with his fingertips, he paused suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Bai Ling quickly asked in a low voice, seeing that there was something strange in her expression.

"Why is there one person missing?" Yin Qiu raised his head with a clear voice, "Didn't you say that everyone is here?"

The disciple of Wuhui Peak had been standing at the bottom waiting, then he stepped forward and said: "Return to Senior Sister, there is a junior brother surnamed Chen who died of illness before the New Year's Eve."

Yin Qiu closed the booklet with a "snap", frowned and said, "Dead?"

Seeing that her complexion was not good, Xu Shi hurriedly looked at Bai Ling. Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his head: "Oh! I forgot to tell you about this. You said it, but you asked me to deliver a letter to Fu Xiang as soon as I entered the door, I am running back and forth, and I have already left this matter behind!"

Yin Qiu couldn't help feeling stuffy.

It's really no coincidence, everything collides together!

"What's wrong with him?"

Bai Ling said: "It's an emergency. When Senior Sister Ji came to check, he suddenly turned pale and sweated on his forehead, and he died just like that. The medical students said he had acute abdominal cramps. Although Senior Sister Ji thought he was suspicious, but There's nothing you can do if everyone is dead, right? They were buried at that time."

Yin Qiu asked: "Then how is his archery?"

Bai Ling said: "I heard that he is the best among these disciples."

"That's too bad, he might be the one who shot the cold shot!" Yin Qiu said, "Are you sure he's dead?"

The disciples below all nodded in unison.

"Back to Senior Sister, what we saw with our own eyes was that the person died on the spot."

"Yeah, I can't save it even if I save it."

"We were being questioned by Senior Sister Ji, and he suddenly fell to the ground behind us, and soon lost his breath."

……

Yin Qiu sighed, and could only tell his disciples to back down, and said to Bai Ling, "Although I know the hope is slim, I finally have a way to investigate. I didn't expect that he would have died long ago."

"The enemy is in the dark, but we are in the light," Bai Ling said. "It is always difficult to guard against. For the current plan, we can only see how Meng Wugui will counterattack in the future."

Yin Qiu couldn't hide his disappointment, and said in a deep voice, "That's the only way to go."

·

Meng Wugui changed her clothes, put on her veil, walked through the long corridor to the front hall and looked at it for a while, then asked, "Is everything arranged?"

There were more than [-] disciples of Jiuxian Hall standing in the hall, and they all responded after hearing the words: "Hall master, don't worry, everything is in order."

The furnishings in the room are simple, nothing unusual can be seen, there is a dead body on the bed behind the bead curtain, unkempt, dirty clothes, it is hard to identify the appearance, only from the figure, it can be seen that it is a woman.

Meng Wugui glanced at it from afar, opened the bead curtain and stood still in front of the bed, tapped his toes lightly on the ground twice.

Sound is empty.

"Bring a thick carpet," Meng Wugui said, "and spread out the place."

The disciples quickly followed suit.

"While it's still early, do more inspections," Meng Wugui retreated to the hall, took a sip from the teacup, "No detail should be overlooked, you have to be careful, if you are a little careless, something big will happen tonight .”

The disciples did not dare to hesitate, and after the carpet was laid, they spread out again, repeatedly confirming various points in the room.After a while, Afu turned over from the eaves and fell down, and reported while entering the room: "Master, then Master Fu went to Qunfangyuan to drink before nightfall, just like a few days ago, and I'm afraid he won't be able to drink until midnight. will come out."

Meng Wugui raised his eyes and smiled: "Then what I asked you to do, did you do it?"

Afu buried her head and whispered, "It's done..."

"Very good," Meng Wugui put down the teacup, went to Afu's side and patted her on the head, "Then let's go."

"Where are you going?" Afu looked at her.

"Of course I'm going to Mingyue Tower," Meng Wugui said softly, looking at Afu with a smile in his eyes, "Let's wait for him and prepare to sober him up."

The author has something to say: [1] and [2] are quoted from Su Shi's "Jiangchengzi·Yimao New Year's [-]th Night Dream"

My cold medicine is really comparable to drug addiction. I took it at noon and slept until the afternoon, and took it in the afternoon and slept until night. When I woke up, I felt my whole body was hollowed out...

I'm not in good condition, so I want to wait until tomorrow for the important plot to stop taking medicine and write it seriously after my mind clears up. I didn't mean to ask Kawen.
