Early the next morning, Luo Ren, the young owner of Xi Luo Village, received an invitation from the young master of the Hua family, inviting him and Song Qingshu to visit the house at noon and have a light meal.

"Since it's the young and old Hua's invitation, my cousin and I will definitely be there." Luo Ren glanced at the invitation, said to the servant who brought the invitation, but agreed directly.

Although Xi Luozhuang accounts for half of the silk and satin business in Jiangnan, the Hua family is the richest man in Jiangnan, existing like a behemoth.What's more, the two companies still cooperate in business, so they should not be offended.

After the servants of the Hua family left, Luo Ren took the invitation directly to the courtyard where Song Qingshu lived.

At this time, Song Qingshu was practicing sword in the courtyard, when he heard the sound of footsteps, he quickly withdrew his sword move and looked at the person coming.

"Cousin, do you have any arrangements at noon?" Luo Ren asked, and seeing Song Qingshu shook his head, he continued: "This is an invitation from the Hua family. Please let us go over to the house at noon. I am Xi Luozhuang Most of the business depends on the Hua family's care, so I agreed directly, and I didn't ask my cousin's opinion, I hope you will forgive me."

"Cousin doesn't have to be like this. The Hua family and I have some connections with Wudang, and I can't shirk it." Song Qingshu said, this invitation card is exactly what he wanted, and he was looking for an opportunity to go there.

The house by the Slender West Lake is not the main house of the Hua family. From the inside to the outside, the style is low-key and quiet, which is completely different from the Xi Luozhuang next door.

After Song Qingshu entered, he looked at the garden in front of him.The gardens he had seen were really not many, including this one, there were only three in total, but one of them was the main residence of the Hua family located by the West Lake.Compared with that house, these two buildings pale in color.

"This way please, both of you, my uncle and fifth master have prepared food and wine in the Huxin Pavilion, and are waiting for you two to come over." The servant respectfully invited the three of them to the Huxin Pavilion in the back garden.

As he said, the stone tables in the Huxin Pavilion were already filled with food and wine, and the Hua family brothers were already sitting in the pavilion.

The first person to see a few people was the uncle of the Hua family who was facing the entrance of the pavilion.Seeing that the person was brought over, he stood up and clasped his fists to Luo Ren and said, "Brother Luo Xian will make you wait for a while, and you will be punished with alcohol."

"It's my fault, I punish myself with three cups." Luo Ren responded with a smile to the young master of the Hua family.After speaking, he picked up the empty wine glass on the table with his left hand, and the jug with his right hand, pouring three glasses in a row.When he finished the last glass, he turned the rim of the glass to indicate that he had drunk all the wine in his glass, not a single drop was left.

"Brother Luo Xian is really happy." Uncle Hua praised, then looked at Song Qingshu next to Luo Ren and said, "This must be Junior Brother Song, but unfortunately I didn't go to Uncle Zhang's [-]th birthday, and missed Junior Brother Song's demeanor. "

When he said this, Uncle Hua's tone was very regretful, and Luo Ren naturally understood that Uncle Hua's banquet today was specially arranged for Song Qingshu.

Song Qingshu clasped his fists and said: "Senior Brother Hua praises you so much, Qingshu is ashamed."

"Brother Luo Xian and Junior Brother Song quickly take your seats. Look at me, I saw that Junior Brother Song was so excited that he forgot to invite you to sit down." After the Hua family finished speaking, he stretched out his hand in the direction of the stone table, and made an invitation posture.

There were two big and two small ones on the table, which happened to be two piles.

The uncle of the Hua family and Luo Ren drank and drank happily, and the fifth master of the Hua family and Song Qingshu also chatted happily together.

"Don't let me drink with Qingshu. Go Qingshu, I'll take you around." The fifth master of the Hua family stared at the wine glass in his elder brother's hand with some dissatisfaction, and after speaking, he pulled Song Qingshu away from the Huxin Pavilion .

After walking far away, the fifth master of the Hua family spoke again: "Qingshu, can you get a clue from Xi Luozhuang?"

"We didn't find any clues in Xi Luozhuang." Song Qingshu shook his head: "A Li, do you still remember how you told my father about saving me?"

"Of course I remember, why do you ask that?" Tang Xiaoli pretended to be the fifth son of the Hua family. At this time, she was looking at Song Qingshu strangely, not understanding why he asked this question.

Song Qingshu said slowly: "Even my father didn't know that we were actually under the cliff of the back mountain, but my uncle knew that I fell off the cliff. A Li, you said that when I fell from the back mountain, Could it have something to do with uncle?"

Tang Xiaoli was silent for a while, even she couldn't give Qingshu an answer on this matter, everything will be known only when the truth is found: "It seems that the content of the letter we received is very likely to be real."

It turned out that on the second day Song Qingshu left Wudang, a Beggar Clan disciple found him and handed him a letter.On the letter, only four short words were written: People are in Zhuangzhong.

This letter, according to what the Beggar Clan disciple said, was sent by a young master who covered his face.

Who is this young man?I don't know who the person in the letter refers to, and which village the village is in.

The first thing Song Qingshu and the others thought of was that Song Yuanqiao was in Xiluozhuang.

At that time, Tang Xiaoli and the others realized that things were far more complicated than they thought.

The person who wrote the letter knew that Song Yuanqiao was missing, knew the purpose of Song Qingshu's writing to Wudang, maybe even knew about the blood letter, and even more about Song Yuanqiao's whereabouts.He seems to know everything, yet hides everything.

Although he provided Song Yuanqiao's whereabouts, people had to doubt the authenticity of his words, whether he had any other purpose, and his relationship with the whole incident.

"In Xiluo Mountain Villa, have you seen any masters?" Tang Xiaoli asked, and this was also one of the questions she was very concerned about.

According to the information she got, neither the owner nor the young owner of Xiluo Village knew martial arts.But it's hard to guarantee that there are masters in the village, and protect the village and protect the courtyard for them.

Song Qingshu shook his head: "I haven't found any masters."

"This is strange. If there are no masters around, with Song Daxia's martial arts and abilities, even if he is really enlightened, he can escape safely for so many days." Tang Xiaoli asked suspiciously.

When Wudang was first established, it had no status at all in the arena.Even because of Zhang Zhenren's status as a Shaolin abandoned disciple, he was once despised by others.

Wudang can become a leader in the Jianghu, in addition to having Zhang Zhenren, who has a very high level of martial arts, in charge, it is more due to the efforts of Song Yuanqiao and other disciples.And judging from the information collected by Tangjiabao, Song Yuanqiao has experienced several life and death to achieve his current achievements.

In a worse situation than now, Song Yuanqiao can save himself and fight back.

But now, his life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown.No matter how you think about it, Tang Xiaoli feels strange.

Tang Xiaoli thought for a while and said, "We are too passive now. Qingshu, after you go back, you deliberately showed a flaw to make Master Luo feel that you are suspicious of him. Tonight, I will go to investigate with Brother Mo Qi Find out the truth."

"Be careful." Song Qingshu said slightly worried.His father's whereabouts are unknown now, and he doesn't want Ali to have another accident.

Tang Xiaoli hooked Song Qingshu's hand: "Qingshu, come here."

When Song Qingshu leaned over, Tang Xiaoli reached out and rubbed Song Qingshu's head.

Because Yi Rong became the fifth master of the Hua family, Tang Xiaoli's height is not much different from Song Qingshu's at this time, and he can touch the top of Song Qingshu's head without stepping on his feet.

"Brother Ling and my cousin have such a good relationship." Seeing the interaction between the two from a distance, Luo Ren said.

Because looking in Song Qingshu's direction, Luo Ren didn't notice the twitching of the mouth of the uncle of the Hua family beside him.

Thinking about it now, the big brother's suggestion is also good, but I don't know if Ah Li is willing or not.But no matter how you look at these two people, Qing Shu was eaten to death.It's all like this now, what to do in the future, really tangled after thinking about it.

On the other side, Tang Xiaoli said to Song Qingshu, "Don't worry, nothing will happen if I'm with Song Daxia."

At three o'clock, a figure appeared on the courtyard wall of Xi Luozhuang, and then disappeared into the darkness.His qinggong is extremely high, and he is extremely cautious.No one discovered his existence until he left with a wounded person on his back.

"Uncle, what's the matter, why is it so chaotic?" Song Qingshu and Si Konglin who changed his face into Tang Xiaoli arrived in a hurry after they left completely.

Luo Yi's sharp eyes swept across Song Qingshu, and when he made eye contact with him, he became kind again: "Qingshu don't worry, it's not a big deal, it's just that the village has been caught by a thief. But the thief has been arrested, When tomorrow dawns, I will send someone to the government."

"It turned out to be a thief." When Song Qingshu said this, he was a little absent-minded, and there was a look of worry in his eyes, which made Luo Yi sneer in his heart, and his eyes were very guarded.

On the surface, Luo Yi showed kindness: "The matter on my side has been settled, so Qing Shu and Miss Tang should go back and rest first."

After everyone left, Luo Yi entered his room.He didn't rest directly, but walked to the wooden barrel behind the screen.

He bent over to reach the barrel, bent his hand, and knocked heavily on the inner wall of the barrel.Then, the bottom of the barrel disappeared and was replaced by a stone step leading underground.

Until Luo Yi disappeared into the barrel, he didn't realize that behind him, there was a pair of eyes staring at him, seeing his every move clearly.

Seeing Tang Xiaoli coming in, Mo Shenggu quickly stood up and asked nervously: "How is Ah Li, is it really Luo Yi?"

Facing Mo Shenggu's question, Tang Xiaoli remained suspicious for a while.It was the first time she saw someone set the entrance of the secret passage in a wooden barrel for bathing.

Seeing that Mo Shenggu's expression became more tense, Tang Xiaoli withdrew from her own thoughts and said, "After sending everyone away, Luo Yi went directly into the secret passage in his bedroom. Because he couldn't go in to check, it's not yet Make sure, Daxia Song is locked inside."

After Luo Yi entered the secret room, Tang Xiaoli did not leave directly.She wanted to wait for Luo Yi to fall asleep, and then give him some drugs, let him fall asleep completely, and then enter the secret room.In this way, the movement of her opening the secret room will not be heard by him.However, Tang Xiaoli waited and waited, but Luo Yi did not come out of the secret room.

If she didn't go back and made Mo Shenggu wait for a long time, I'm afraid he would rush over directly.Tang Xiaoli had no choice but to leave first, planning to come over to find out when Luo Yi was away during the day.

"Unexpectedly, Luo Yi, he still bears a grudge against Senior Brother." Mo Shenggu sighed slightly, and said with a sad expression.

Although Tang Xiaoli said that he was uncertain, both of them believed that Luo Yi locked Song Yuanqiao up.

Tang Xiaoli looked at Mo Shenggu: "Brother Mo Qi, you seem to be hiding something."

"Don't tell Qing Shu about this matter. In fact, my sister-in-law died of dystocia when she gave birth to Qing Shu." Mo Shenggu said, and when he said this, there was more sadness in his eyes.He was brought up by his sister-in-law, who was like a mother to him: "At that time, sister-in-law's situation was very dangerous. The midwife who delivered the baby said that there was only one between sister-in-law and Qingshu."

"Song Daxia chose Qingshu?" Tang Xiaoli asked, although she was doubtful, her tone was very sure.

Among the two, Song Qingshu was still alive, but Mrs. Song died of dystocia.It is self-evident who Song Yuanqiao chose in the end.

But Mo Shenggu shook his head: "A Li, you are wrong. At that time, the eldest brother chose sister-in-law."

"How is it possible? Didn't you say Mrs. Song died of dystocia?" Tang Xiaoli said, if Mrs. Song was chosen by Song Daxia at that time, Qing Shu should have died.

"Brother really chose sister-in-law." Mo Shenggu said in a sad voice.What happened that day is vivid in my mind, and the grief in my heart is even more unforgettable: "Maybe it's my mother's day, my sister-in-law, who had already passed out, woke up at the last moment. Knowing that she and Qingshu can only live When I was alone, my sister-in-law gave up on herself, and only hoped that Qing Shu could survive. Even at that time, Qing Shu was already dying."

Mo Shenggu was silent for a while, and then continued: "After Qing Shu was born, he couldn't even cry. We once thought he would not survive, but fortunately he survived. After the full moon, his body became more and more healthy Luo Yi has always believed that at that time, it was the senior brother who chose Qingshu, which caused the sister-in-law to die due to dystocia, and he always blamed the senior brother in his heart."

Thinking of what Tang Xiaoli said to him during the day, Mo Shenggu added: "But, I don't think he will hurt Qing Shu, Qing Shu is the son of my sister-in-law."

"What about you? Do you hate Qingshu?" Regarding Mo Shenggu's last sentence, Tang Xiaoli was noncommittal.She opened her mouth to ask a question that concerned her more.

Mo Shenggu smiled wryly and shook his head. When Tang Xiaoli thought he would not speak, Mo Shenggu's voice sounded: "I don't hate him, I never hated him from the beginning."

Strange, but never hated.Because, that is the son that my sister-in-law tried her best to protect.

"You rest, I will keep this matter a secret from Qingshu." Tang Xiaoli stood up and said, and walked out directly after speaking, and thoughtfully helped him close the door.

Early the next morning, Tang Xiaoli came over to help Mo Shenggu change his face.Wudang Mo Qixia disappeared again, and it was the Hua family uncle who appeared in front of people.

After eating breakfast, Uncle Hua invited Luo Ren and Song Qingshu to visit Yangzhou together.

And Tang Xiaoli went to Luo Yi's room again.At this time, there was no one in the room, Tang Xiaoli easily touched in, and opened the mechanism in the bathtub.

The downward stairs are very long, Tang Xiaoli walked for a long time before finishing.

Descending the stairs, two diametrically opposite paths appeared in front of her.Tang Xiaoli squatted down and carefully observed the difference between the two roads.

"People often walk on the two roads." Tang Xiaoli said to herself, she really couldn't judge which road was correct.

Tang Xiaoli's footsteps paused for a moment, and she walked directly to the road on the left.Since he couldn't judge, he could only try one by one.I just hope she is lucky enough to choose the right one.

The road Tang Xiaoli chose was very deep, and it kept going down. She turned a few turns and didn't come to the end.Not only that, but she also felt that the surrounding temperature was getting lower and lower.

After turning a corner again, Tang Xiaoli finally saw the end, but there was only one wall.

After walking for so long, there is only one wall at the end, which really gives people a feeling that there is no silver 300 taels here.

Tang Xiaoli walked directly to the wall and observed the wall carefully. It was polished from a whole stone wall.On the stone wall facing the intersection, at the same height as Tang Xiaoli's chin, there is a very obvious groove, which should be the switch to open the secret room.

The groove is square, and the horizontal and vertical sides are wider than the fingers of an adult man.

Tang Xiaoli's so-called not being good at organs is in comparison with Tangjiabao's darkroom disciples.But the mechanism in front of them was not from their hands, nor was it from Master Zhu Ting's hands.For Tang Xiaoli, it was not too difficult to crack it, and it only took a cup of tea to open it.

The wall splits from the middle and moves to the left and right.

The moment the wall cracked, Tang Xiaoli felt a rush of cold air, as if suddenly entering severe winter from summer.The room is even more of a world of ice. Looking around, apart from the ice in the room, there is only a woman in a Chinese dress lying there quietly.

The woman's eyes were closed, her hair was black, her complexion was pale, and the corners of her lips were even less bloody.At this moment, she was lying with her arms crossed on her abdomen, in the coffin made of ice.

Tang Xiaoli guessed her identity almost immediately, because her appearance was exactly the same as Song Qingshu's, except for her eyebrows and eyes.

She is Song Yuanqiao's wife and Song Qingshu's mother.

It's just, how could she appear here, in the secret room under her brother's bedroom.

Tang Xiaoli was startled by the thought that appeared in her mind, how could this be possible!

But if this is not the case, how to explain Mrs. Song's body that appeared here? This is not something a brother would do at all, it is more like a person who loves her madly would do it.

I don't think he will hurt Qingshu, Qingshu is the son of his sister-in-law.

At this moment, Tang Xiaoli remembered what Mo Shenggu said.When Tang Xiaoli heard this sentence for the first time, Tang Xiaoli thought that Mo Shenggu meant: that is because Qing Shu is his sister's son, and he will not hurt Qing Shu.

But now, Tang Xiaoli doesn't think so.Thinking about Mo Shenggu's expression at that time, Tang Xiaoli felt that he must have something to hide from herself.

If her guess is correct, Tang Xiaoli also disagrees with Mo Shenggu's words.The madness brought by love is not only protection, but also destruction.

However, now is not the time to think about these things. What Tang Xiaoli needs to do now is to rescue Song Yuanqiao.So, she went back the same way and walked the other way.

This road is much shorter than the previous one.Tang Xiaoli just turned a corner and came to the end.

At the end, there is the same stone wall, and even the method of opening the secret room is exactly the same as the previous one.

The moment the secret room was opened, Tang Xiaoli was disappointed.Because, what is contained in this secret room are some gold and silver treasures, and there is no one at all.

Tang Xiaoli walked through the only two roads, but did not find any trace of Song Daxia.Could it be that they suspected the wrong person, and Luo Yi's disappearance had nothing to do with Song Daxia.

But that letter...

Frowning and scanning the entire underground, Tang Xiaoli planned to take a closer look.

At this moment, she heard the sound of the entrance to the secret passage being opened.

Within the secret passage, there is almost no place to hide.I can only gamble on my luck and choose one of the two roads to hide temporarily.If you are lucky, that person chooses another path, and you can avoid that person.Otherwise, it can only be found traces.

Tang Xiaoli managed to escape, but would startle the snake.If Song Yuanqiao was really here, he would be diverted or even silenced as quickly as possible.This is different from making Luo Yi doubt Song Qingshu. If he doubts, he will only try it step by step.But if you startle the snake, you will directly put it into action.

Tang Xiaoli chose the secret path leading to the treasure house. Obviously, her luck was not good, because that person was going to take this path.

At this time, Tang Xiaoli also saw who it was, it was a man dressed as a servant with a food box in his hand.

This made Tang Xiaoli's heart skip a beat, knowing that this person must know Song Yuanqiao's whereabouts.

The man did not reach the end of the secret path, but stopped halfway.He turned the torch holder on the left in a circle, the stone wall opened in response, and a hidden room appeared in front of Tang Xiaoli.

The stone wall was locked at the entrance of that person, and Tang Xiaoli could not see clearly what was going on inside, nor could he hear the sound inside.At this point, all she could do was wait.

It didn't take long for that person to enter. After a while, the stone wall opened again, and he had already walked out of it.

Tang Xiaoli waited for him to leave before showing her figure and opening the stone wall.

What caught my eye was a very simple room, with only a bed and a set of tables and chairs, nothing else.Because the secret room cannot be ventilated, the smell in the room is very unpleasant.

In front of that table, a person was sitting and eating.When Tang Xiaoli pushed open the door, he had already looked up: "Who are you?"

"This sentence is exactly what I want to ask." Tang Xiaoli looked at the person on the chair who spoke coldly, and when she spoke, her hand was already holding the thousand receivers on her waist.

Counted!

This was the only thought in Tang Xiaoli's mind at this moment.

This person has the body shape and face of Song Yuanqiao, but he is not Song Yuanqiao himself.With just one glance, Tang Xiaoli could tell that this person was disguised by others.

"I'm Song Yuanqiao from the Wudang sect, who the hell are you, little girl, and how did you appear here?" the man said, but insisted that he was Song Yuanqiao.

It's a pity that he didn't know that the little girl in front of him was a master of disguise, and also someone who knew Song Yuanqiao.

Tang Xiaoli didn't dare to relax in the slightest, since they designed to lure her into the bait, there must be an ambush.I just don't know how many people were ambushed in total, and where the secret door is.

However, things were different from Tang Xiaoli's imagination. She waited for a long time, but no third person appeared in the room.

Tang Xiaoli frowned and looked at the person in front of her, her doubts were even greater, and she couldn't figure out what was going on now.

The imposter in front of him is a decoy.

Now he came to bite the bait, but the person who cast the net did not come out to collect the net.

Either they are going to put a long line to catch big fish, or...the person who cast the net is not there at all.

Tang Xiaoli jumped directly to the man's side, and before he could react, the dagger was already on his neck.

"What are you going to do?" The man's voice sounded from beside him, because he didn't use Song Yuanqiao's voice out of panic, but used his own voice.

Tang Xiaoli gave that person a cruel look: "Auntie, I happen to have a grudge against people from Wudang. Tell me, what am I going to do?"

With the last few words, Tang Xiaoli deliberately dragged out the tone, successfully making the man tremble.

"Grandma, I'm not Song Yuanqiao from Wudang, I was just ordered to pretend to be him here." The man said, he felt the dagger on his neck was cold, as if it had scratched his skin.

Tang Xiaoli didn't believe it, and looked at the man with the expression that you were lying to me: "You are talking nonsense, who would pretend to be someone else in this shabby and smelly place."

"Grandma, I really didn't lie to you. I'm really not Song Yuanqiao. Don't kill me." The man looked at Tang Xiaoli with a crying expression.

Tang Xiaoli's expression turned suspicious this time: "You really didn't lie to me?"

"I'm really not Song Yuanqiao." Seeing that things had turned around, the man's eyes flashed with surprise, and his head nodded again and again.

Tang Xiaoli moved the dagger a little, and asked, "Then tell me, why are you pretending to be Song Yuanqiao here?"

"This... the villain doesn't know either. The villain just obeys orders." The man opened his mouth, but couldn't tell why.

Tang Xiaoli rolled her eyes: "The man who came down in the middle of the night yesterday, does he come every day?"

"My little aunt is talking about Master Luo?" The man nodded and said, "Master Luo does come here every day, but yesterday was a bit strange. He came here once in the afternoon, but came again in the middle of the night , and didn’t say anything, and I don’t know what kind of nerves I’m having.”

At the end of the man's words, he complained a little more, maybe he was woken up by Luo Yi at that time.
