As Xiang Baiying talked about it, Qi Ning had already thought of the scene from that year. Mrs. Lu Suying had been living under someone else's roof since she was a child, and she was scared. However, Xiang Baiying took on the role of a protector at that time, saying that these two They are childhood sweethearts, there really is nothing wrong with them.
"Uncle Xiang, you left suddenly in Baima Mountain because of... this pattern?" Qining understood.
Xiang Baiying said: "When we left the village and went to Baima Mountain, Suying thrust this note into my hand while you were not paying attention."
Only then did Qi Ning understand why Mrs. Lu unexpectedly stayed during breakfast, but it turned out to be to give Xiang Baiying a note.
He recalled that in the morning, there was a very short gap when Lu Shanghe talked to him, but he did not pay attention to the two people.
"Mrs. Lu gave you this note. Could it be that she has some difficulty in speaking out to you in front of Lu Shanghe?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "She and Lu Shanghe are husband and wife, and Lu Shanghe and you are sworn brothers, and there are What is it that is not convenient to say?" After a pause, he asked: "After you came down from the mountain, you returned to Yinghe Villa?"
"No!" Xiang Baiying shook his head and said, "She said she would wait for me in the peach forest ten miles east of Yinghe Villa. I don't know what happened, but if she is in trouble, I will not refuse."
"So you went to Taolin." Qining understood: "Then can you see Mrs. Lu?"
Xiang Baiying nodded and said, "I found the peach grove, but Suying was not there. I waited for less than an hour before Suying arrived in a hurry."
"She's the only one coming to see you?"
Xiang Baiying nodded slightly: "There is only one person, and she has not arrived for a long time. She is hiding from the eyes and ears to avoid being discovered by other people in Yinghe Villa."
"She is the wife of the owner of the village, what are you afraid of?" Qi Ning was startled, and then he understood in his heart that Mrs. Lu and Xiang Baiying had a relationship back then. They met alone. If someone knew about it, what would happen to Xiang Baiying? Although her reputation was damaged, Mrs. Lu's reputation was also greatly damaged. She asked, "When Mrs. Lu sees you, you will naturally tell her what difficulties she has encountered."
Xiang Baiying shook his head and said: "She did not encounter difficulties, but I encountered difficulties."
Qi Ning was stunned, a little puzzled, and said to Baiying: "Suying asked me to leave Yinghe Villa quickly and never come back to Xichuan from now on."
"This... why is this?" Qining was surprised.
Xiang Baiying said: "I also want to ask the reason, but Suying didn't explain it. He just urged me to leave as soon as possible." At this point, Xiang Baiying smiled faintly: "Xiang has been traveling around the world for many years, and he still... I have never run away because of fear, let alone what Su Ying said, there must be something hidden in it, I am afraid that even she herself is in trouble, so I have to ask for it."
Qi Ning nodded and said: "Yes, she asked you to leave quickly. Of course there is a huge reason for it. Uncle Xiang, can you ask clearly later?"
Xiang Baiying did not answer immediately, but looked up at the bright moon in the sky. After a long time, he said: "Someone wants to kill me!"
Qi Ning thought to himself, I do know that the group of men in black wanted to kill you, and asked: "Do you know where those people came from? Mrs. Lu already knew in advance that these people wanted to kill you. ?”
"Suying told me that Brother Lu invited me to Yinghe Villa not to reminisce about old times." Xiang Baiying said slowly: "He was coerced by others to lead me into a trap. In fact, at Yinghe Villa, he had already A trap was laid.”
Qi Ning said in shock: "Are you saying that Lu Shanghe wants to kill your life?" He was shocked, thinking that these two people were sworn brothers, but Lu Shanghe was so despicable and shameless that he wanted to kill his sworn brother.
Xiang Baiying shook his head and said: "Suying told me that Brother Lu has taken poison. In a few days, the poison will take effect. If I don't take my life, Brother Lu himself will die."
Qi Ning was stunned and felt that this was getting very complicated. He frowned and said, "Who made Lu Shanghe take the poison?"
"Just before Brother Lu set out for Qianwu Ridge, someone sneaked into Yinghe Villa and kidnapped Suying." Xiang Baiying looked solemn, "They used Suying as a threat to force Brother Lu to find an opportunity to take my life. Otherwise, we will take Su Ying's life and force Su Ying to take poison to threaten Brother Lu."
Qi Ning frowned and said, "So, Mrs. Lu...!"
"No." Xiang Baiying knew what Qining was going to ask, so he shook his head and said, "Brother Lu did not let Suying be harmed. He took the initiative to take the poison, and under the threat of the other party, he agreed to your conditions."
Only then did Qi Ning understand why Lu Shanghe was so enthusiastic that Xiang Baiying had to go to Yinghe Villa.
"Uncle Xiang, you are the leader of the Beggar Clan. Who would want to murder you behind your back?" Qining frowned and said: "If you go against the Beggar Clan, don't those people want to live? Also, with your martial arts, even Lu The village owner’s careful planning may not hurt you at all.”
Xiang Baiying shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Brother Lu is so kind and righteous. He never thought of harming me from the beginning."
"What?" Qining was startled.
"Brother Lu brought me to Yinghe Villa to take Suying with me." Xiang Baiying said: "From the beginning, he was ready to die. But he couldn't worry about Suying. So when I arrived at Yinghe Villa, he was ready to find an opportunity for me to escape with Su Ying. There are those traitorous people in Yinghe Villa, so he must be careful and look for a suitable opportunity to let us go."
Qi Ning was a little surprised. He never expected that Lu Shanghe could be so kind and righteous.
"So, among the followers who went hunting in White Horse Mountain, there were also the eyes and ears of the thieves?" Qining's expression turned cold.
Xiang Baiying said: "Suying told me that Brother Lu took me to Baima Mountain for hunting and deliberately made those people think that Brother Lu was looking for an opportunity to attack me. In fact, Brother Lu wanted to have one last reunion with me before he died. Let's get together." His eyes were a little red, "It's a pity that I don't know anything about all this, and I don't know Brother Lu's painstaking efforts."
"Then...how did Uncle Xiang get poisoned?" Qining asked doubtfully.
Xiang Baiying pondered for a moment before saying, "Mrs. Lu prepared the poison in the five-treasure porridge."
"What?" Qining's whole body was shocked and he almost jumped up.
Xiang Baiying shook his head and said: "I don't blame her, she... Hey, she has been married to Brother Lu for many years, and Brother Lu loves her very much. In fact, Su Ying's body has always been very weak. In order not to hurt Su Ying's body, Lu The eldest brother didn't even let her give birth to a son and a half daughters. Brother Lu values love and righteousness. In order to protect Su Ying, he doesn't care about passing on the incense. His thoughtfulness and love for Su Ying cannot be matched by me."
Qi Ning had already understood and said: "In this way, Mrs. Lu is here... to protect Master Lu...!" He did not continue.
Xiang Baiying nodded slightly and said: "Those thieves have set up a trap from the beginning. Hehe, they also know that it is not easy to kill me, so before they take action, they must first destroy my martial arts. They gave Su Shadow is a specially made poison. After being poisoned, the meridians in the Dantian are blocked, making it impossible to use internal power. Even Brother Lu doesn't know about this."
Qi Ning sighed: "Since they know about the friendship between eldest brother and Master Lu, they naturally investigate your life experience very clearly. They know that if there is anyone in the world that you are not careful about, it can only be Mrs. Lu."
Although Xiang Baiying was seriously injured, he still laughed and said: "This opponent is really powerful. He knows the weaknesses of beggars very well." After a pause, he sighed: "Suying has been married to Brother Lu for many years, of course we can't just watch it. I saw that Brother Lu was poisoned and died, so I had no choice but to prepare the poison in the five-treasure porridge. I don't blame her."
Qining also sighed.
Mrs. Lu was caught in the middle. She didn't want to see Xiang Baiying killed, but she also didn't want to watch Lu Shanghe die of poison. You can imagine her tangled emotions.
In this case, no matter what choice she made, it was not wrong.
"But Suying is kind-hearted by nature, but after being poisoned, she couldn't bear to see me killed, so... she gave me a note and found a chance to meet me in the peach forest." Xiang Baiying said with a bitter smile: "She asked me He left quickly because he was afraid that I would be harmed, but I had already taken the poison at that time. Although the poison would not take effect until it lurks in the body for a period of time, how could I leave just like that."
Qining asked: "Then...then you stayed?"
"Although I wanted to stay, Suying threatened my life." Xiang Baiying said with a bitter smile: "She had no choice but to poison me, but she regretted it in her heart. She was only worried that it would kill me. , so she insisted that I leave immediately. If I didn't leave, she would commit suicide in front of me. I... I couldn't see her like this, so I pretended to agree to her."
Qi Ning immediately asked: "Master Lu and I returned to the villa and saw a disciple sent by Elder Baihu to deliver a letter, saying that something big happened to the Beggar Clan and asked you to rush there quickly."
Xiang Baiying frowned and said, "Is there anything else?"
Qi Ning took out a note from his arms, took it to Bai Ying and took a look at it. Qin Ning said: "This is the note you left, one for me and Master Lu."
Xiang Baiying shook his head and said, "This is not my handwriting."
"This was brought out by the man named Lu Sheng from Yinghe Villa." Qi Ning frowned and said, "Since Uncle Xiang didn't keep this, it's natural that Lu Sheng was lying."
Xiang Baiying sneered and said: "It seems that Lu Sheng is an accomplice of those thieves." A cold light flashed in his eyes: "What is the name of the Beggar Clan disciple who delivered the message?"
"It's called Wu Yi." Qi Ning replied, and then told Bai Ying about his disappearance. He nodded slightly to Bai Ying and said, "That's it. Wu Yi is not a disciple of the Beggar Clan, but also one of them. They set up this trap. , just to lure you away from Yinghe Villa."
"Lead me out of the villa?" Qining was stunned.
Xiang Baiying said: "The target of these people is me. They are coming for the Beggar Clan. You are the Marquis of Jin Yi, and they don't want to involve you. You are from the Qi family of Jin Yi, and you are the Marquis of Jin Yi from Chu State." , on behalf of the imperial court, these people are worried that implicating you will bring about future troubles."
