"Hide away."

Wei Yueyan spit out two words concisely, and then his smooth and flowing swordsmanship made all the arrows lose their chance.Although there are many arrows in the secret room of this kind of mechanism, there will always be a time when they will be exhausted, Wei Yueyan does not intend to wait for them to be shot completely.When she was tossing and turning, she reached out to take something out of her girdle and shot it with her arms. The moment she swung her arms, five metallic buzzing sounds sounded from the stone palace, followed by the sound of a machine spring falling off, followed by a burst of "" Rumble, boom, crash—" the metallic roar.

"The spring has been broken, there will be no more arrows coming out." Wei Yueyan put the sword back into its sheath and said.

Ling Xueji hurriedly thanked Wei Yueyan, and immediately went to check on Qu Quan's injuries, when he crouched down beside him, he heard an anxious and joyful call coming from the ruined pharmacy.

"Xue Ji!"

"Sister!!" Ling Xueji was pleasantly surprised, but she just replied excitedly. She would not forget that Qu Quan was lying in her arms and was injured to protect herself.

Ling Qiufan had just been asked by Wei Yueyan to stay inside and not come out because of the dense arrow rain. Now that the crisis was over, he came to his sister's side almost as soon as the crisis was resolved.At this time, many days had passed since the last time I wanted to see her again, and her eyes were moistened by the long-lost reunion like a burst of warm smoke.

Ling Xueji was full of surprises, but she didn't expect that the sisters would meet again in this dark palace at the bottom of the well.

"Qu Quan, does it matter..." Ling Xueji's voice trembled with fear.

"Master Qu is injured?" Ling Qiufan knelt down next to his sister, and turned to call Wei Yueyan, "General, please check the injury for Master Qu." In fact, Xue Ji also practiced martial arts since childhood. But Ling Qiufan felt that compared to his sister's petty fights, a battle-hardened general should be better at dealing with injuries.

Wei Yueyan kept watching the fun with her arms folded after saving the person. To be honest, Wei Yueyan was totally unwilling. If she insisted on saving someone, she would just watch Qu Quan flow down to the point where there was only a trace left The blood went to save her life.But now that his precious wife has spoken, Wei Yueyan no longer wants to, but can only obediently walk to the vacated spot after Ling Qiu got up, and squats down to check on Qu Quan's injuries.

Yes, I have to show a smile that I am very willing, I think so too, Madam, we really want to go together.

"Thank you, Mrs. Wei, for your kindness. Qu Quan appreciates it." Qu Quan nodded to Ling Qiufan to express his gratitude, and at the same time quietly avoided Wei Yueyan's movement of checking the injury, turned to Ling Xueji and said, "Xue Ji, help me chop the arrow Cut it off, leaving an inch of the arrow handle."

Ling Xueji glanced at Wei Yueyan in surprise, quickly drew out the treasured saber, followed Qu Quan's instructions step by step, and finally pulled out the arrow that penetrated Qu Quan's arm horizontally and carefully bandaged it.Ling Qiufan didn't expect this kind of situation either, she just thought that neither emotion nor reason should stand by at this time, so Wei Yueyan went to deal with it, but she didn't expect that Qu Quan, a frail woman, would still To be able to refuse Wei Yueyan's help, but to calmly order his younger sister to handle it for her, this Qu Quan is really... very arrogant.

"Sister, Master Qu was injured to protect me." Ling Xueji had Qu Quan's blood on her hands, although she had helped Qu Quan heal the wound, she was still a little dazed.The voice was so soft and creepy that he didn't seem to be afraid of everything, Ling Qiufan was heartbroken for a while, and at the same time he was busy thanking Qu Quan.

"Thank you, Master Qu."

Over there Wei Yueyan also came over to thank him sincerely, Qu Quan smiled and waved his hands, "General Wei and Mrs. Wei don't need to thank you, but if it wasn't for General Wei who came to help in time, Xueji and I would have been under the arrow long ago." Revenant."

It was obviously a scene where the family and Le Rongrong thanked each other, but Wei Yueyan and Qu Quan did it strangely.The atmosphere was very awkward for a while, but it was only the two sisters who were embarrassed. For Wei Yueyan and Qu Quan, such a situation was just normal.

In fact, they didn't trip each other as soon as they met, and they didn't hesitate to waste a lot of energy on each other.Most of the time when there is no interest involved, they avoid each other. Even when they are together at the Royal Gate Palace Banquet, when they are brought together, the air current between the two of them can instantly shake the food on the table. The heat freezes into ice.

Therefore, when the door of the operating room suddenly opened, Ling Qiufan and Ling Xueji did not panic, but instead breathed a sigh of relief, God forbid, the deadlock was finally broken.

Perhaps it was because the stone palace was too dark, Wei Yueyan made two torches and Ling Qiufan made two torches after they came in, and now the four of them have four and placed them around the operating room. The missed details are now visible at a glance.Soon, Qu Quan found an unusual, slightly protruding piece of wall covering in the corner, and after thinking about it for a while, he untied the mechanism on it.After the drawer-like wooden box was pulled out, a book with blue leather and white lines lay quietly inside. Qu Quan opened it and flipped through a few pages and found that it was actually an account book.

The two sisters Ling Xueji and Ling Qiufan were originally standing at the same place, sharing the pain of missing each other, and sharing the truth about the tragedy in the stone palace, while Wei Yueyan stood with arms folded, and the corner of his eyes stayed on Huo Guang looked at the back of Qu Quan who was flipping through the account book, his eyes were dim and hard to distinguish, and he didn't know what he was trying to figure out.

The sound of turning the pages of the book stopped, and Qu Quan snorted with a smile on his lips, "It really is him."

This murderous question troubled Ling Xueji all the way. Hearing Qu Quan's determined voice at this time, he immediately ran over to Qu Quan with his skirt in his hand, "Who is it?!"

Qu Quan handed the account book to Ling Xueji, stood up and dusted off his clothes, and sneered, "There is no silver 300 taels here."

Ling Xueji didn't know why, so she held the account book and flipped through a few pages. In the vermilion vertical grid, there were densely packed names of people, and the same name as Chengchuan Town, and she didn't know what she remembered.Over there, Ling Qiufan also came over to take a look, and said without taking a second glance: "Based on what you just said about cannibalism, this account book should record the persons in charge of various towns and villages and those who were shot openly and secretly. The name of the woman I searched for." At the end, he shook his head and sighed, "After listening to you, I thought it was absurd, weird and unbelievable, but after reading this book, I realized that there are so many ghosts and even more terrifying people in this world."

"But..." Ling Xueji held the account book and her mind was still in a mess. She turned it over and over again, not knowing where the real murderer Qu Quan said was hiding, let alone the so-called place. What is the meaning of 300 taels without silver.

"You don't have to look it up, there is no name of the mastermind in the ledger." Qu Quan found an operating bed and sat down, his amber-like eyes became more transparent under the light of the fire, fixed motionlessly on Wei Yueyan's body, "Qu Quan It's useless, but the memory is better. The embroidery needle recovered from the golden thread fishhook is from the specifications of the fifth grade. The only one who ranks on the fifth rank is Huo Yuan, a former member of the Ministry of Industry, who is now a doctor of the Ministry of Water."

Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, is in charge of the business of construction and construction. All the repairs and dredging of the city and the repair of civil engineering are all within the scope of his official duties.Three years ago, Huo Yuan was in this position, so he built this underground palace with his power for personal gain while repairing the abandoned workshop, which is quite reasonable.But this series of things cost countless material resources, financial resources and manpower. Is it just to satisfy his own appetite?Only a fool would believe it.

"So he canceled his name on the account book to avoid punishment?" Ling Xueji scolded angrily: "This thing is not as good as a bird/beast! Sooner or later it will go to the [-]th level of hell! Skin cramps, guts emptied!! "

Ling Qiufan widened his eyes slightly when he heard this scolding, and then looked at Qu Quan. Although his precious sister used to be hot-tempered, she still spoke gracefully. Who did she learn this skill of swearing? ?

"Lord Naqu." Ling Qiufan raised his own question, "There are signs that this stone palace has been cleaned. Presumably, he should have time to destroy the arrow springs and take away the book. Why did he hide his ears and cancel the name of this book?" The books of accounts are kept here?"

Qu Quan laughed when he heard that, his smile was tender, his eyes were full of spring, so weird that Ling Xueji thought she was possessed by some evil spirit: "Because, this account book is his life-saving talisman."

"What?" Ling Xueji and Ling Qiufan almost spoke in unison.

Are you kidding me?For a while, if there is no silver 300 taels, how can it become a life-saving talisman again?Ling Xueji's gaze began to wander around to see if there was any yellow talisman in this place that could drive away the possessed ghost.

"Look through the account books and look carefully." Qu Quan kindly gave a reminder.

Ling Xueji and Ling Qiufan went to look for the answer in the account book again, but Ling Xueji was still flipping through it, and was once again beaten by the school bully. Ling Qiufan raised his head suddenly, and the hairpin ring on the cloud girl made a clear and crisp sound. Surprise, panic, and some inexplicable emotions intertwined into a complex maze in the autumn-like eyes.

"Master Qu, you..."

Qu Quan looked like a normal person, his gaze finally turned away from Wei Yueyan and turned to Ling Qiufan, and he didn't know whether he was helpless or indifferent.

"Yes, such a big gift, should I accept it or not?"

Over there, Ling Xueji finally understood the meaning. The account book contained not only the names of the persons in charge of each den, but also the official titles they wore.These black gauze hats dyed with black ink are both frightening and flustering.Although she is not involved in worldly affairs, she is also the second lady of the prefect's mansion in Wu County. She knows that the more officials involved in this kind of matter, the more difficult it will be!Even if there is no Qu Quanda in every official rank, so what?Qu Quan, who was tired of the concubine Shu's case back then, was full of infamy, and his official career was hindered by many parties. Now so many officials are involved in various counties and cities all over the world, and the person sitting on the dragon chair is unpredictable, and the truth of the case is on the contrary become less important...

To do, or not to do?

No matter whether you advance or retreat, it is a dangerous situation.
