The rivers and lakes can't stand it

With Tang Xuan's guarantee, the three of them really left Luohuazhuang safely.

The night was bleak and cold, Ding Liuyun's thoughts were confused, he couldn't help looking at Qiu Zhuoxue who was talking to Yue Mijin, he saw that this young man had a calm demeanor, without any worry of being wronged.

He was suppressed by his teacher when he was young, and he was a homeless young man. He wandered in the desert for nearly 30 years, often wandering at the juncture of life and death, far away from his homeland, unaccompanied, coupled with language barriers, full of depression. It is hard to explain. He can only suppress his heart. , and gradually reluctant to express.

Even after learning the common language of the Great Desert, his temper has already been settled.

It is the same at this moment.

Although Ding Liuyun was excited in his heart, there was only a dull look on his face, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion.

"You clearly have nothing to do with me. To be honest, I still owe a kindness to my ancestral daughter. Since the ancestral daughter is dead, I should repay you." Ding Liuyun said in a deep voice, "But what did you do tonight?" Treating me like this? How do I repay it?"

Qiu Zhuoxue turned around and smiled slightly: "There is no need to pay back, Qiu must thank Senior Ding for giving Qiu some face."

"You don't need to say these polite words to me. Tang Xuan ambushed so many people to lure me into the game." Ding Liuyun's eyes were cold, "Without your protection, I really can't fly, and I will definitely die under the knife."

Qiu Zhuoxue's expression was delicate: "Senior Ding thinks... is the person who was ambushed by the head of the Tang sect?"

Ding Liuyun frowned: "Isn't it?"

Qiu Zhuoxue said calmly, "I'm afraid not."

If this sentence was said by others, Ding Liuyun would definitely scoff at it, but since it came from Qiu Zhuoxue's mouth, he had to think more carefully.

After a while, Ding Liuyun said: "Tang Xuan is cunning by nature, and he never said a word of truth. I don't know how many people suffered from him back then. Now that he is getting older, he must be more cunning, but he is the only one who is reasonable to you. No wonder You would say so."

What he said was not outrageous.

Qiu Zhuoxue couldn't help laughing bitterly: "...Don't Senior Ding believe it?"

He was thinking, if he said at this time that it was thanks to Miss Shen Buran, would it make the situation more complicated.

"It's not that I don't believe you." Ding Liuyun said, before hesitating quickly, "I don't believe Tang Xuan, but..."

That being said, Ding Liuyun inevitably felt a little strange, after all, he knew Tang Xuan's character very well.

Sometimes the person who knows someone best is not necessarily his friend, but his enemy.

At the martial arts conference back then, it was Tang Xuan who first betrayed Yu Xielang without hesitation, pleaded guilty to his master, and saved himself. A person like him would do whatever it takes to achieve any goal.

Even if he is young, what's more, now that he is the head of the sect, he will only be more decisive.

Since he ambushed so many people to destroy himself, how could he give up because of Qiu Zhuoxue's words?

This is exactly what Ding Liuyun can't figure out. Even if it is explained that Tang Xuan knows the origin of Qiu Zhuoxue and loves it, it is too far-fetched. Not to mention, they clearly stated just now that Qiu Zhuoxue's origin is unknown. It was already suspected.

How could Tang Xuan put such trust in a suspicious person of unknown origin?

It was like a dizziness.

Qiu Zhuoxue asked: "But what?"

"However, what happened this time is completely out of line with his temperament, and I'm a little confused." Ding Liuyun frowned and said, "By the way, I just listened to their words, and you didn't tell the Jianghu people about your life experience?"

Qiu Zhuoxue smiled casually: "Qiu is just an unknown person, what can I say."

Ding Liuyun hesitated to speak, and finally said: "It's rare for you not to rely on the achievements of the predecessors."

These words made Qiu Zhuoxue suddenly silent, he is not the noble gentleman that Ding Liuyun said.

Whether it's a first-born daughter or Yu Xielang, if their prestige rises again in the Jianghu, it means that Qiu Zhuoxue will pay a very painful price.

He is doomed to lose what is most dear to him.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Ding Liuyun said again: "Forget it, if you don't want to admit it, I won't force you. Today you defend my kindness, and I will still remember it in my heart."

"I don't dare to say kindness." Qiu Zhuoxue thought about it carefully and said, "Qiu really wants to ask Senior Ding about something."

"But it doesn't matter."

Looking at Qiu Zhuoxue's demeanor, Ding Liuyun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had only seen this kind of demeanor that the mountain collapsed in front of him and his face remained unchanged, and the elk was on the left without blinking his eyes. He had only seen Ning Jiusi in his life.

No one understands Qiu Zhuoxue's innocence better than Ding Liuyun. Although today's martial arts is still disappointing, Ding Liuyun does not want to disappoint Qiu Zhuoxue's goodwill.

Ning Jiusi saved his life in the past, and now Qiu Zhuoxue has saved him in the eyes of everyone.

Even though Ding Liuyun is old, his heart is not old, let alone dead, and there is still a ball of fire in his heart after suffering.

Even if he felt that what Qiu Zhuoxue investigated was meaningless, it didn't prevent Ding Liuyun from being willing to accompany him to do another meaningless thing.

I'm afraid that in the end this young man will be extremely disappointed in the justice of the world.

Ding Liuyun had tasted this taste once, and he didn't want Qiu Zhuoxue to taste it again.

Qiu Zhuoxue pondered for a while, when she was about to speak, she suddenly heard Ding Liuyun say: "However, if you want to ask who is the internal response in Luohuazhuang, then I don't know either."

Yue Mijin slightly raised his eyebrows.

Qiu Zhuoxue is not surprised that Ding Liuyun will strike first, this problem is indeed the most urgent.

Ding Liuyun continued: "Perhaps you think I'm lying, but I really don't know about it. This matter is probably caused by Heng'er. He has always been resourceful, and I usually don't care about him much."

"In this way, it was Tan Taiheng who said that Tang Xuan dismissed the disciples of the Tang Sect today." Qiu Zhuoxue confirmed her guess even more. Ding Liuyun was completely out of the plan and was just a pawn of the people behind the scenes, "Ding Where did the seniors come from?"

Ding Liuyun said sternly: "You don't have to save face for me, yes, I just came here to sneak up and plot against him because I knew he was alone in the room."

His tone was steady, but there seemed to be endless pain and arrogance in his words.

"Fighting alone, even though it's uninvited, it's not really a sneak attack." Qiu Zhuoxue laughed, "What's more, when it comes to sneak attacks, Tang Sect's hidden weapons are first-class, I'm afraid Senior Ding is still far behind. .”

Ding Liuyun remained silent, and suddenly stopped and said: "If you want my life, I can give it to you. If you ask me to take you to find Heng'er, it is absolutely impossible. In the final analysis, it was me who started this matter. Follow my orders."

Qiu Zhuoxue looked at his words and saw that Ding Liuyun's brows were firm, and he didn't force it, but changed the subject and said: "Speaking of it, Qiu has already understood the grievances between Mrs. Suxin and Senior Ding, but why did Senior Ding have such a deep hatred with Master Tang?" ?”

In fact, when Qiu Zhuoxue spoke, she always smiled softly, with a most considerate look on her face, which was different from the dignified and dignified first daughter.

Coupled with his young age, there was nothing disturbing about it.

But for some reason, Ding Liuyun looked at this young man who was dozens of years younger than himself, but he was a little cautious. He could feel that this person possessed a calmness and stability that he could hardly get in his life, so that people could not see the slightest depth.

"I have no enmity with him." This question was not difficult for Ding Liuyun to answer, he said in a deep voice, "It is he who refuses to let me go!"

Qiu Zhuoxue's heart moved: "What do you mean?"

"I've been in the desert for nearly 30 years." Ding Liuyun sighed, "I've already given up the idea of ​​returning to the Central Plains, but Tang Xuan still refused to let me go. to my place."

Qiu Zhuoxue was stunned, but her face was still sinking like water: "Really?"

Ding Liuyun said unhappily, "Why should I lie to you?"

Unexpectedly, Qiu Zhuoxue asked again: "Didn't you send the letter to Sect Master Tang?"

Ding Liuyun sneered: "That's what Tang Xuan told you? He really is full of lies, not half of the truth! I also know that he will be sincere to you."

Qiu Zhuoxue: "..."

However, at this time, he could no longer care about the ambiguity of Ding Liuyun's words, and continued to ask: "It's okay for Luohuazhuang to be unprepared when Mrs. Suxin was empress; but now there is a precedent. No matter how cautious you are, is it a trap for Senior Ding to not worry at all when he gets the news?"

Ding Liuyun said indifferently: "The only thing I can do is die, anyway, I'm already tired of running around."

Qiu Zhuoxue looked at Ding Liuyun quietly: "I'm afraid, it's not that Senior Ding is tired of this kind of life, but someone made Senior Ding tired of this kind of life."

"What does this mean?" Ding Liuyun finally came to his senses, he stared at Qiu Zhuoxue's face in horror, his mind was in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

Qiu Zhuoxue said in a deep voice: "If Sect Master Tang really set up an ambush and set up a trap, is he really letting us go today for Qiu's sake?"

When he said these words, there was no emotion.

Ding Liuyun stared at Qiu Zhuoxue in a daze, "You...you mean..."

"Qiu made a guess and told Tantai Heng that the unsuspecting people in Luohua Manor were also the ones who attracted everyone."

Ding Liuyun's expression seemed to collapse suddenly, as if the pride that had supported him for nearly fifty years was destroyed in an instant.

"You mean..." Ding Liuyun said in a daze, "You mean... I was used by someone?"

Qiu Zhuoxue did not affirm this answer, nor did she deny it.

He suddenly realized the horror of this conspiracy. Tang Xuan thought that Ding Liuyun came back for revenge for Yu Xielang, but Ding Liuyun thought that Tang Xuan was going to kill the grass...

Perhaps Tang Xuan would notice something was wrong, but Ding Liuyun couldn't believe any of his words, just like how he couldn't believe himself in the past.

Moreover, Ding Liuyun is aloof and arrogant by nature, and has a prejudice against martial arts. Any injustice or infamy will intensify his anger, and it is even more impossible for him to calm down and analyze the whole matter clearly.

If this knot does not have enough external force to intervene, it will be a complete dead knot at all.

Ding Liuyun suddenly let out a long cry, and his sleeves flew up, his face could not be seen clearly in the dark night.

Is he worried about Tan Tai Heng?

Still doubting Tan Taiheng?

Although Qiu Zhuoxue was smart, she couldn't say much, so she could only follow closely behind.

Yue Mijin followed beside him, the three of them ups and downs, and soon came to a secluded courtyard, Ding Liuyun pushed open the door and walked in.

The two followed behind, Yue Mijin finally said the first sentence since tonight: "You seem to be particularly partial to Ding Liuyun, why? Is it because you feel guilty?"

Qiu Zhuoxue didn't understand what it meant, she didn't turn her head, and said with a smile: "Brother Yue, what do you mean?"

"I said." Yue Mi said, "Ding Liuyun also killed someone, it seems that you treat him differently from Ming Yueying."

Qiu Zhuoxue chuckled: "So it's this, don't you hear the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period? The original situation has been settled, and the forgiveness is punishable. Although Senior Ding is a murderer, he is used by others. Instead of punishing him, it is better to find out who is behind the scenes. Ambassador."

Yue Mijin was silent for a while and said: "Why do you protect him even if you are wronged and framed, I believe there is indeed an inside story about this matter."

"A loyal person cannot be blamed." Qiu Zhuoxue said softly, "Miss Ming has clear interests, she can't be more delicate in her conduct, and ordinary people can't even count on her. But Ding Liuyun's temperament is just like that of Brother Yue. If he is wronged, No excuses, only repayment with blood, he is not willing to speak, always give him a chance to speak first."

Yue Mijin was hit by what he said, so he was speechless, so he could only snort coldly.

Qiu Zhuoxue smiled and said: "Are you not convinced?"

Yue Mijin said indifferently: "I'm not unconvinced, but aren't you afraid that he will let you down?"

"So what if he failed me?" Qiu Zhuoxue finally turned her head and smiled, the more confused she was, she felt her face getting hotter, "As long as Brother Yue does not disappoint me in this world, I will have no regrets."

In the light-colored long sleeves, there is a hand that can control the enemy, pluck, and move Fengyue, revealing reddish fingertips, and suddenly gently holds Yue Mijin's hand.

"is not it?"

Yue Mijin only felt that it was not one hand that was being controlled, but his whole being.

The author has something to say:

The original situation is determined: investigate the motive to determine whether there is a crime or the severity of the crime.

Forgive things and punish intentions: forgive those who accidentally or abetted to commit crimes and punish those who really plotted wrongdoing but did not take specific actions.

These two idioms come from the Later Han Dynasty, but they are rarely used in reality. Let me briefly explain their meanings here.

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
