Cannon fodder apprentice reborn

Although I don't understand why Tang Xun insisted on waiting until nightfall to speak, but it is a good thing if he is willing to speak. Ruan Qiu didn't return all night, and he still remembers Mei Hanyue's injury in his heart. They went to Mei's house across the street.

As usual, he used spiritual power to heal the unconscious Mei Hanyue. Ruan Qiu spent a lot of spiritual power. After returning home, he meditated and adjusted his breath. No more sound.

It was getting dark soon.

Ruan Qiu, who had regained his spiritual power, was held back by Song Xinting to finish a meal. He pinched his cheeks that had grown a little flesh, and was worried for a moment about whether he had eaten too much. The voice sounded from the other side of the courtyard wall.

"Don't go through the front door."

Tang Xun was standing on the wall, looking at Ruan Qiu with some disgust, and said, "If you want to know the whereabouts of that ancient copper coin, don't let those hidden guards follow you, come with me alone."

Ruan Qiu did not doubt that he was there, and got up to go over, but was held down by Song Xinting, who said to Tang Xun, "I will go with Xiaoqiu."

Tang Xun didn't have any impression of Song Xinting, only knew that he was Ruan Qiu's elder brother, and jumped off the wall with a light snort. Ruan Qiu thought he disagreed, so he heard his voice from across the wall, "Come on Come, take him alone."

Don't think he doesn't know, there is a little girl living in Ruan Qiu's yard.

Knowing that she was disgusted, Ah Xi pursed her lips. She also had self-knowledge, and after scooping up the little weasel who was full and spread it on the table as a cake, she said wittily, "Then I'll wait at home. There are still guards outside."

The two hidden guards had high cultivation levels, so Ruan Qiu was relieved. Tang Xun was impatient. He didn't want to make people wait too long, so he climbed the wall with Song Xinting and went to Tang's house. Sure enough, Tang Xun was very impatient when they passed by. He gave them a sideways glance, turned around and left.

Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting hurriedly followed.

Tang Xun was wearing a thin ink-colored shirt with peacock blue on the hem tonight. He flew up to the roof with his hands behind his back, and saw a black shadow flashing by. Those courtyards were left behind.

His posture was casual, but he skillfully avoided the hidden guards guarding the alley in the dark. Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting followed all the way, only to see more than a dozen black figures in the alley. He lifted his qi to resist the wind, and dared not let out the atmosphere.

Ruan Qiu breathed a sigh of relief when he flew out of the alley of Tang's house and looked down at the quiet streets of the inner city. He sped up to catch up with Tang Xun and asked, "Master Tang, where are you taking us?"

Tang Xun glanced back at him and didn't speak, but the cool eyes clearly showed a sense of irritability of "less nonsense and quicker to follow".

Ruan Qiu didn't ask any more questions.

When Tang Xun finally stopped, they had crossed half of the inner city. Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting landed on the eaves of a four-story building one after another. Beside Tang Xun.

"City Lord's Mansion?"

Song Xinting looked defensive, "What are you bringing us to the City Lord's Mansion for?"

"Find the answers you want."

Tang Xun looked down at the guards in front of the city lord's mansion, Mingjun's face had a chill that Ruan Qiu had never seen before, and his eyes were cold.Ruan Qiu suddenly believed that he was once the second city lord of Shifang City, not just a big shopkeeper of Jinxiufang.

"If I tell you, you may not believe it." Tang Xun's eyes filled with mockery, "I didn't bring anything with me when I left the city lord's mansion. The bracelet made of Caesar's ancient copper coins did exist, but it was also At that time, I gave it to the person we could only meet at the City Lord's Mansion. Now you can choose again, whether you want to pursue it further."

Ruan Qiu suddenly realized, "No wonder you said that it would be dangerous to investigate further."

Tang Xun turned and looked at him, "You still have the chance to give up now, once you follow me into the city lord's mansion, you must be prepared to be caught, then, will Song Yantai spare you?"

Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting looked at each other, and said with a faint smile, "Don't forget, Shopkeeper Tang, I have the ten orders from City Lord Song in my hand."

Tang Xun seemed to choke for a moment, seeing that Song Xinting obeyed despite his helplessness, frowned, and turned to look at the City Lord's Mansion.

"Okay, then you guys follow closely later."

After eight years, he finally came back.

Tang Xun closed his eyes and watched the guards change at the foot of the mountain. He found the right time for the two to follow, and flew out with his eyes fixed.

It was the first time for Ruan Qiu to do this kind of thing, and he felt a little uneasy along the way. Fortunately, the road led by Tang Xun was unimpeded.

The three of them sneaked into the city lord's mansion smoothly, and they didn't meet anyone all the way up the mountain. Ruan Qiu was surprised, but Tang Xun's face was not very good-looking. Ruan Qiu didn't notice it, and asked curiously, "How does shopkeeper Tang know this road?" Can you go up the mountain?"

Tang Xun said with a dark face: "After decades of walking, I can touch it even with my eyes closed." But when he came, he was not sure whether this road could still be walked. Shouldn't this loophole be patched?

Ruan Qiu also thought of this level, he turned his head to look at Song Xinting, the two brothers exchanged a look, and didn't ask any more questions.

The more you go up the mountain, the closer you are to the palace on the top of the mountain. Both Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting have been there before, and only stayed in the front hall for a while.

Coming here, Ruan Qiu looked at Tang Xun's back hesitantly, wondering if Tang Xun brought him to find the city lord, right?

At this time, Tang Xun suddenly became alert, and hid behind a tree by the side of the mountain road sideways.Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting also hid after him, and Tang Xun was looking at the stone steps below the small slope. The steps lead directly to the foot of the mountain, which is extremely long, and both Ruan Qiu walked past.

At this time, a person was walking down the mountain on the stone steps.

Ruan Qiu recognized at a glance that that person was the leader of the Yinlong Guard, the commander Murong who many people only knew his surname but not his name.

It wasn't until Murong walked away that Tang Xun looked away, and thoughtfully said: "This man usually follows Song Yantai, and when Song Yantai doesn't let him come out, no one can see him, and he won't leave Song Yantai even if he has nothing to do. It seems He's leaving town."

Ruan Qiu was stunned, "I heard that Commander Murong is one of the most trusted people of City Lord Song. Besides, he is Senior Zhuang Jiu."

Tang Xun's tone was cold, "That's right, Ruan Xiao Sword Saint who knows everything, you talk so much, do you still want to find out the truth?"

Ruan Qiu didn't know why he was angry, and when he saw that he was about to leave, he quickly followed him, and said in a low voice, "I only know a little about swordsmanship, so I'm destined not to be able to inherit the master's way of swordsmanship. Shopkeeper Tang, don't praise me like that."

Tang Xun smiled as he walked, "Can't you hear that I'm mocking you?"

Song Xinting said quietly: "The shopkeeper Tang is jealous of Murong and Zhuang Jiu."

"Who is jealous of them?" Tang Xunxiang boxed like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and his hair exploded. After reacting, he calmed down a little, squinted at Song Xinting, and snorted softly: "Forget it, no Complain with you juniors, come with me quickly."

Ruan Qiu smiled, followed quickly, and asked again: "At this time, Commander Murong suddenly left the city. Could it be that something happened to Shifang City?"

"It's not Shifang City, it's a ghost city. The Mingzhou City in the ghost temple." Tang Xun spoke lazily, telling Murong's whereabouts calmly, "A few days ago there was a change in the ghost city. Ghost mother, do you know? You are Yin Wuchen's apprentice, and that is also your master's enemy. This person with the highest cultivation level in the Blood Shadow Palace may have to make a move. Song Yantai doesn't trust many people. Facing such a strong enemy, naturally It is to send his most trusted confidant."

Of course Ruan Qiu knew about the ghost mother, but he didn't expect Tang Xun to know the grievances between his master and the ghost mother. He didn't know how much Tang Xun knew, so he didn't ask any more questions. It doesn't appear much.

Is the ghost mother really going to move...

A trace of confusion appeared in Song Xinting's eyes, but no one explained it to him, let alone Yin Wuchen's matter, it was not convenient for him to ask.

Tang Xun grew up in the City Lord's Mansion since he was a child. The City Lord's Mansion has not changed much over the years. He also took Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting to the top of the mountain with ease, and went straight to the attic on the top of the mountain.

Going downstairs, Ruan Qiu saw the second person besides Murong. There were many guards and maids guarding in front of the attic. down the hill.

From a distance, it looks like a stage.

There were too many people in front of the door, so Tang Xun led them around to the back of the attic, pushed open a small window half a person's height, and climbed in first, Ruan Qiu and the two had no choice but to follow in. Fortunately, he was taller than Tang Xun and Song Xinting. They are much thinner and not too embarrassing.

Inside the small window is a corridor, one end is separated by a screen, and the other end is a staircase that goes straight up. Tang Xun went upstairs first, and Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting followed carefully. This attic is extremely exquisite and gorgeous, and it looks like a woman's residence. , When they went upstairs, they also heard the woman singing in a low voice.

Ruan Qiu couldn't hear what the woman was singing, but thought the tune was very nice.

He became more and more confused, and saw Tang Xun walking upstairs, but stood in front of the stairs without moving any more. He walked over in confusion, followed Tang Xun's line of sight to look out, and saw twelve doors on the attic open at the same time. The yarn flew up and floated to the balcony outside.

The lights over there were like daylight, as if it was the platform they saw downstairs.

A woman in a light gold dress stood under the lamp wall. Although her hair was disheveled, her figure was extremely soft and beautiful. She was humming and dancing while waving her sleeves lightly, and the hem of her skirt twirled accordingly.

Although she was just turning around and doing a few simple movements, Ruan Qiu could taste the ultimate beauty with just one glance.

In a daze, Tang Xun had already walked over, and Ruan Qiu watched him walk to the platform before stopping, his breathing was stagnant, and he hurried to catch up.

"Don..."

He wanted to remind Tang Xun that he was not afraid of being discovered by that woman, but Tang Xun suddenly said, "She is Song Yantai's mother, Jin Yuchan, and the bronze coin that Mei Hanyue got should have been in her hands."

Ruan Qiu was stunned, and turned to look at the woman again. Tang Xun's voice was not loud, but the woman obviously heard it. She turned her head and glanced at them. It really was a very beautiful face with white and flawless skin. , Clean and dusty facial features.

It turns out that this is Mrs. Jin who once had a relationship with the master's father Nie San, and was troubled by these rumors and had a quarrel with her husband?

Ruan Qiu thought she would be surprised, after all, someone broke into her residence.

In fact, when this Mrs. Jin saw them, she just stopped dancing for a moment, then she frowned, smiled, and then continued humming a slow tune and dancing lightly.

Ruan Qiu frowned, "She..."

Tang Xun didn't even need to look back, he knew that Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting must be surprised, he calmly explained their confusion, "She went crazy when Song Yantai was six years old, because her husband was killed by her. After that, she never left this loft again, she forgot about everyone and Song Yantai, she only remembered to practice dancing every day."

Ruan Qiu was taken aback again, "Master Tang is sure that the other half of Caesar's ancient copper coins were sold to this... Mrs. Jin nine years ago?"

How could a person who had been crazy for nearly 40 years and was trapped in this attic go to Liutong Chunge in the middle of the night to hurt someone?

Tang Xun didn't know what to think of, and waved: "Mrs. Jin, come here."

Only then did Mrs. Jin have a slight reaction, her singing stopped, she blinked her eyes, and walked over innocently and confused.

"Tang...Tang Xun?"

"Do you remember me?" Tang Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, his face was a little awkward, he turned around and asked Ruan Qiu to take out the bronze coin, and handed it to Madam Jin, "Do you remember this thing?"

Ruan Qiu gave Tang Xun the copper coins, but he didn't think he could get anything from Mrs. Jin. Mrs. Jin glanced at it, but her eyes lit up, and she stretched out a hand to Tang Xun with a smile.

"You gave me this?"

Ruan Qiu took a closer look and found that on her slender wrist was a bracelet made of several ancient copper coins and red strings. He looked up at Tang Xun, "She really has this bracelet, but there are only five of them."

Tang Xun held the blood-stained bronze coin and placed it by Mrs. Jin's wrist.

"Aren't these just six pieces? This string of bracelets did belong to me once. When I left the City Lord's Mansion, I came to see her once. She liked it, so I gave it to her. Anyway, it's not mine." Tang Xun mocked lightly. Said: "Actually, the other six ancient copper coins were not sold, and fell into Song Yantai's hands. This ancient copper coin is made of meteoric iron from outside the sky. Song Yantai's natal magic weapon needs to be repaired with this material, so the other half I gave it to him a long time ago, and he also used it to refine his magic weapon, but I can't find it anymore."

This was the result that Ruan Qiu didn't expect. He took the blood-stained ancient copper coin and looked at it carefully, "So there are only six of this set of ancient copper coins left in the world, and Mrs. Jin happened to be missing one. Did someone steal this ancient copper coin from Mrs. Jin and use it to frame you? But, since that person can get this ancient copper coin, he should know that it is now in Mrs. Jin's hands. Isn't it full of loopholes to frame you?"

Song Xinting also said: "I'm afraid it's not a frame, but just lost this ancient copper coin. I'm afraid it will be exposed, so I deliberately intervened to drag the shopkeeper Tang into the water, confusing everyone's judgment."

Tang Xun said: "I'm afraid that's true. But not everyone can come to this place. Although Song Yantai was not favored by Mrs. Jin when she was a child, she has always cared about this mother and will not let idle people wait to disturb her. Unless, It's Song Yantai himself, or someone he trusts."

Ruan Qiu looked at Mrs. Jin again. The latter looked very gentle and innocent, but although she was crazy, she was very obedient and well-behaved.He thought for a while, then asked Mrs. Jin in a gentle voice, "Mrs. Jin, you still remember that this string of bracelets was given to you by Tang Xun, so do you know when the bracelet on your hand lost a copper coin?"

Tang Xun said: "She has forgotten everything now, and her mind is not as good as that of a six-year-old child. If you ask her these things, she can't give you the answer."

Song Xinting said, "It's okay to ask."

Tang Xun shrugged, "Then you can do whatever you want."

Ruan Qiu knew that the two of them were not getting along well, so he smiled helplessly when he saw this, wiped the bronze coin in his hand with his sleeve, and handed it to the ignorant Mrs. Jin, "Look again, although this bronze coin is The style is the same as that on your bracelet, but the pattern is different, did you give it to someone else?"

Mrs. Jin's mentality is not as good as that of a six-year-old child, but she is not afraid of people. She looked at Ruan Qiu for a while, took the ancient copper coin tentatively, looked at it for a while, showed surprise, and compared it on the bracelet.

Ruan Qiu looked at her patiently, "Did Mrs. Jin remember something? At that time, who did you give this bronze coin to?"

Tang Xun said he didn't believe it, and stood beside him with his arms folded, but he kept looking this way, obviously wanting to know who that person was.

"Give it to who? Give it to..." Mrs. Jin struggled to think, but after a while, she said a name, "City Lord."

She said with a silly smile, looked at Tang Xun again, and said, "Why haven't you come for a long time, they all said you won't come back."

Ever since she said that the man was the city lord, Tang Xun's complexion became extremely ugly, but after hearing Mrs. Jin's words, he felt a little inexplicable sourness in his heart. A fool would remember that he hadn't come back for a long time, and he knew that miss him.

Ruan Qiu didn't expect that person to be the Lord of Song Dynasty. Seeing the change of Tang Xun's face, he felt a little worried, so he took back the ancient copper coin under Mrs. Jin's confused gaze, but seeing Mrs. Jin was reluctant to give up. He couldn't bear the look on his face.

"I'll use it first, and I'll return it to you when I'm done using it."

Mrs. Jin was also easy to coax. Although she was still reluctant, she nodded in agreement.

Ruan Qiu hesitated for a moment, and said to Tang Xun: "Since we have found out the whereabouts of the ancient copper coins...let's leave here first."

He also had a lot of doubts in his heart. Was the ancient copper coin really taken by City Lord Song?Could that man in black be City Lord Song?But why did City Lord Song hurt Mei Hanyue?This is unreasonable.

Ruan Qiu thought, there must be some details that they missed.

But it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, they didn't come here aboveboard, if the people downstairs find out, they will cause trouble.

Tang Xun didn't speak, and took a deep look at Mrs. Jin before turning around and leaving.

Mrs. Jin seemed to want to follow, but after walking a few steps, she stopped again and watched them leave, looking very pitiful.

Ruan Qiu secretly sighed, followed Song Xinting downstairs, Tang Xun, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and then walked upstairs with a solemn expression.

"Someone is coming, go up first!"

Ruan Qiu and the two hurried upstairs when they heard the words.

At that time, Mrs. Jin had already returned to the stage, dancing a dance that only she knew, but the attic was so big, and there was nowhere to hide behind the screen that separated the inner and outer rooms, so they had to go first. Go to hide behind the screen.

The footsteps downstairs were getting closer and closer, and the three of them held their breaths and did not dare to make a sound.

Finally, the man reached the attic.

Tang Xun poked his head out and took a sideways glance, seeing the man's face suddenly turned cold.

Ruan Qiu looked at him with open eyes, who?

Tang Xun made a mouth shape, Ye Qiao.

Ruan Qiu was surprised and frowned slightly, can Ye Qiao also come to see Mrs. Jin?

However, Ye Qiao seems to be related to Mrs. Jin and is still a cousin.

But what is he doing here tonight?

Ruan Qiu was suspicious and pricked up his ears trying to overhear some useful information.

However, Ye Qiao did go to the balcony of the attic, but he just watched Mrs. Jin dance from a distance, and he didn't know what to watch.

Ruan Qiu, who was the most patient among the three, couldn't take it anymore. He squatted until his legs became numb, so he sat down on the spot.Xindao, what exactly is this steward leaf doing?Why don't you move?

Tang Xun, who was the least patient, had a cold face that became increasingly ugly.

Ruan Qiu caught a glimpse of him secretly clenching his fist, and his heart was alarmed. He hurriedly pressed his hand, shaking his head at him solemnly.

Tang Xun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, broke away from Ruan Qiu's hand and sat back.

Ruan Qiu was secretly heaving a sigh of relief, but there was a sound of footsteps in his ear, his eyes paused, and he raised his eyes to look up the screen, and saw Ye Qiao's figure magnified by the candlelight covering the screen little by little.

Found out by him?

Ruan Qiu looked at the other two, looking at each other.

Tang Xun quickly made a decision, pulled out a soft sword from the storage ring, held it tightly in his hand, then covered his face silently, pointed outside with the soft sword, and then pointed downstairs.

Ruan Qiu understood what he meant, which meant that Tang Xun would act first later, so that they would not hold back and take the opportunity to leave here first.

Although this is very unreasonable...

Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting still nodded.

A gleam of coolness flashed in Tang Xun's eyes, and he leaned against the dark corner inside the screen, waiting for Ye Qiao's footsteps to come closer.

Suddenly, a glowing glass ball rolled over.

Coincidentally, the big colored glass ball just rolled to Ye Qiao's feet, followed his footsteps, and was knocked into the screen that was only a few steps away from him, and arrived at Tang Li's feet.

The faint spiritual light was reflected in the three pairs of eyes full of astonishment. In the dead silence, Ye Qiao stopped and looked at the low table by the window.

It was a rather dim corner, in the dead corner of all the candlelight.

The short stature, white complexion and expressionless young master sat there, looking at Ye Qiao silently, there was no expression in the glazed eyes, as quiet as a deep pool.

Ye Qiao seemed relieved, "Master A Yuan, when did you come?"

Hearing this, Ruan Qiu was also shocked, and then inexplicably terrified, Ye Qiao came so unluckily, they hadn't had time to leave, this young master A Yuan was probably there before they came, but they didn't even notice it just now !

Should it be said that this ghostly and silent child is indeed Song Yantai's younger brother?

At this moment, under Ye Qiao's smiling gaze, A Yuan didn't say anything, and Ye Qiao's smile didn't change. After waiting for a while, he sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Then cousin is leaving first, and A Yuan doesn't want to be here. It's too late to play here, and your mother has to rest."

A Yuan still ignored him.

Ye Qiao took a few steps back before turning around and going downstairs. The clear sound of footsteps sounded in the attic, and Ruan Qiu was finally relieved as they gradually walked away.

Ruan Qiu picked up the glazed ball, and vaguely saw that it looked like a whip made of ice and snow, which seemed to be a magic weapon.Only then did he realize that Tang Xun kept his eyes down and didn't speak, and was still blocking the exit.

"When people leave, we also leave?"

With Ruan Qiu's slight push, Tang Xun came back to his senses. He glanced at the glazed ball in his hand, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and he hid it without a trace. He put away the soft sword and stood up.

Ruan Qiu was about to go around him, when he saw a thin figure slowly walking to the screen, just like Mrs. Jin, A Yuan saw them, but didn't make any sound.

After all, he just helped them out, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and Ruan Qiu didn't ask. He looked at A Yuan, who looked similar to Mrs. Jin, and sighed silently in his heart.

"This is yours, thank you."

A Yuan took the glazed ball, without even looking at Ruan Qiu and Song Xinting, he looked straight at Tang Xun, who was tearing off the black cloth underneath.

"What's the use of thanking a little fool?" In contrast, Tang Xun's attitude was very indifferent, "Let's go quickly, don't dawdle."

Ruan Qiu frowned and said, "Don't talk like that." He looked at A Yuan with some embarrassment. In fact, the last time we met, he saw that A Yuan was probably the same as Mrs. Jin. He was not restrained, but... May not be the same as normal people.

"Leave him alone, let's go quickly." Tang Xun didn't take it seriously, he was as tall as two A Yuan, and he walked around A Yuan as soon as he raised his leg.

A Yuan still looked at him eagerly, and handed over the glazed ball in his hand.

"Little Tang, here it is."

Tang Xun didn't even look at it, and strode downstairs.

A Yuan watched Tang Xun leave in a daze, and did not take back the glazed ball in his hand, his empty glazed eyes were full of expectation.

But Tang Xun didn't look back.

Seeing that Tang Xun had gone downstairs, Ruan Qiu had no choice but to keep up, but looked back at A Yuan from time to time, always feeling that the child looked pitiful, and those beautiful eyes might be very disappointed, right?

I don't know if Tang Xun hated Wu Jiwu, and he also hated A Yuan.
