Waited for a moment.
Seeing that Sister Yue still hadn’t replied, Luo Qingzhou was afraid that the joke had gone too far.
He quickly replied: Sister Yue, I was just joking with you. My wife, her sister, and my mother-in-law slept on the bed, and I slept on the couch outside.
Kyoto is quite dangerous tonight. A murderer has killed a whole family. Even the commander of the Jinyiwei was killed. Now the whole city is searching for the murderer. I don't know where he will hide. So tonight our family will sleep together in case the terrible murderer suddenly appears.
Zhu Yan and Linghu Qingzhu both sent messages.
Luo Qingzhou replied one by one.
Waited for a while longer.
Sister Yue replied: What murderer
Luo Qingzhou: The murderer who committed the massacre, I heard that the whole family of Zhongwubo was killed, even the leader of Jinyiwei died, it's tragic. Sister Yue, you must close the door when you are at home, be careful that the murderer suddenly ran into your house
Sister Yue: Isn’t it you
When Luo Qingzhou saw this message, he froze: Sister Yue, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand. Are you saying that I'm a murderer
Sister Yue: Yes
Luo Qingzhou looked at the word and thought about it carefully in his mind.
How did Sister Yue know
Could it be because that night he asked Sister Yue to take him into the inner city and investigate the Zhongwu Earl's Mansion...
Of course, he couldn't admit it.
Luo Qingzhou: Sister Yue, I don’t have that much courage, nor do I have that much ability.
Sister Yue did not reply.
Luo Qingzhou didn't know how to respond.
At this time, Linghu Qingzhu sent another message: Jingdu seems to have been sealed off. I heard that not only was the Zhongwu Marquis's mansion wiped out, but the Jinyiwei commander who had the cultivation of a great martial arts master was also killed, and more than 20 Jinyiwei were also killed. I asked your senior sister, and she said that she killed him, and said that I could hand her over. Do you believe that she killed him
Luo Qingzhou frowned: She didn't kill him, she didn't have the ability to do that
Linghu Qingzhu: She certainly doesn't have that ability to kill a great martial artist and twenty Jinyi guards in such a short time. The murderer must be at least a mid-level great martial artist. What do you think
Luo Qingzhou: Master, please keep an eye on her for me, thank you very much
Linghu Qingzhu: Call me aunt
Luo Qingzhou: Aunt
Linghu Qingzhu: Am I the only one who knows that you broke through from the middle stage of martial artist to the level of great martial artist in one go
Luo Qingzhou: And my wife knows
Linghu Qingzhu: It's an honor, but you are really brave, not just brave, but terrifying. I don't want to ask you what hatred you have with them, but I want to remind you that the court is not as cowardly and stupid as you think. I advise you to come to the sect as soon as possible, bring your family, and don't regret it later.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the message and was silent for a long time before replying: If I leave now, I'm afraid it will only make things worse, and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave. Let's talk about it after the storm has passed.
Linghu Qingzhu: Indeed, it is difficult to leave now. Even if the clan leader goes there, he can't bring your family out. I guess it will be difficult for your family to get out if the murderer is not caught. If this matter is exposed, no one can protect you. You are so bold and lawless.
Luo Qingzhou: Thank you for the compliment, but I don’t understand what you are saying
Linghu Qingzhu: There is news from the border that the princess did not take action in the face of the demon tribe. She not only killed the military supervisor sent by the court, but also killed an official in charge of delivering food and grass. Many people are saying that the princess is colluding with the demon tribe and is going to rebel. Kyoto will not be peaceful recently. You have to be careful and find a way to get out quickly.
Luo Qingzhou saw this message and looked solemn: I will
Linghu Qingzhu: How many family members do you want to bring out? I can help you think of a solution.
Luo Qingzhou: No, I can handle it myself
Linghu Qingzhu: You still don't trust me, are you afraid that I will know your true identity
Luo Qingzhou: Please take good care of my sister for me. Thank you very much.
Linghu Qingzhu: OK
Luo Qingzhou replied to Zhu Yan's messages again and saw that Long Er also sent a message.
Little Dragon Girl: My Lord, it's so scary. Waves of spirits are flying over the lake, holding jade probes and searching everywhere. Long Er is hiding in the Dragon Palace, trembling with fear.
Luo Qingzhou: You are close to the city gate. If you are discovered, run away immediately. Kyoto is very dangerous recently. You'd better not come out again.
Xiao Longnu: Sir, if Long'er is discovered, where should he go
Luo Qingzhou: You are a member of the demon tribe, so naturally you should go find your kind. Now several cities on the border have been occupied by the demon tribe, so you can go find them.
Xiao Long Nu: Long Er doesn't want to go. If I go, I will be cannon fodder and killed. Long Er doesn't want to live that kind of life. My father also told me not to participate in inter-racial fighting.
Luo Qingzhou: The world is so big, and your cultivation is so high, you can go anywhere, don't worry
Xiao Long Nu: But Long Er will soon have to go through the second thunder tribulation. If you are not here, I am afraid that Long Er will turn into ashes, and I will never be able to show you my cute little feet again.
Luo Qingzhou: Don't talk nonsense, I'm not interested in your little feet at all. If you really encounter a critical situation, you can first hide in the river between the Yunwu Mountains and Lingxiao Sect. The location there should be good.
Xiao Long Nu: Okay, then will the young master go to find Long Er
Luo Qingzhou: I will go
At this time, Miss Qin's voice came from the inner room again: "Sister, if you can't live here anymore, would you like to go to a quieter place?"
Luo Qingzhou pricked up his ears when he heard this.
The room was quiet for a moment.
Miss Qin's cold voice sounded: "Okay."
Miss Qin Er continued, "Kyoto may not be peaceful for a long time. Mother, you must be prepared. We may leave at any time."
Song Ruyue immediately said anxiously: "Wei Mo, why should we leave? Once the murderer is caught, won't we be safe? We just opened a shop, and business is booming. Your eldest brother and second brother are still studying at Dragon Tiger College, where can we go?"
Miss Qin Er was silent for a moment, and said, "Mother, in the eyes of the court, we are already the eldest princess's people. The eldest princess is now at the border, commanding a large army. There will definitely be many people in the court who slander her. After all, the eldest princess has always wanted to deprive them of their interests. If the emperor listens to the slander, then the first people in danger will be those who stand on the same team as the eldest princess. Our Qin family will definitely not be an exception."
After listening to this, Song Ruyue's voice trembled: "What can we do? Your elder brother and second brother are still in the academy. Even if we want to leave, where can we go? To the princess? Your second brother will go with us, but your elder brother...ah..."
Miss Qin also sighed softly: "Big brother is concentrating on martial arts training in the academy, and we haven't told him many things. When he comes back next time, Wei Mo will have a good talk with him. I believe that big brother will understand."
Song Ruyue whispered again: "Wei Mo, Qing Zhou still has to take the exam for the top scholar. If we run away, won't he be unable to participate in the next spring exam?"
Miss Qin couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Mother, which is more important, the number one scholar or your life?"
Song Ruyue was quiet for a while, still holding on to hope, "The eldest princess and His Majesty are siblings. Your Majesty shouldn't believe the slanders of those treacherous ministers, right?"
Miss Qin Er didn't say anything else.
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother-in-law, the second young lady is right. We should plan ahead and make plans as early as possible. The store should not expand or hire any more people. Keep cash and do not sell on credit. Sell as much as you make and do not have any inventory. Be prepared to leave at any time."
After listening to this, Song Ruyue asked anxiously, "Qingzhou, is the situation really that serious now?"
Luo Qingzhou said, "Yes, it's very serious. I recently heard that the princess killed the military supervisor and the minister who was escorting the grain and grass sent by the emperor at the border. People who came back from the border said that the princess was going to rebel, so we have to make preparations as soon as possible."
When Song Ruyue heard this, she cried out in surprise: "The Princess... The Princess is going to rebel... Then, then aren't we..."
Luo Qingzhou said: "We are in the same gang. If the situation is true, everyone in our Qin family, including my second uncle and fourth uncle in Yangzhou, will be beheaded."
The current situation was indeed very serious, and he had to speak out so that they could prepare themselves mentally as soon as possible, so as not to be caught off guard, panic-stricken, and at a loss.
Song Ruyue was so frightened that her face turned pale and she started trembling.
Miss Qin Er held her hand under the quilt and comforted her softly, "Mother, don't be afraid. Brother Qingzhou just asked us to prepare for a rainy day. Things may not necessarily happen if we make preparations early."
Luo Qingzhou said: "What the Second Miss said is true. At least we are safe now. The Emperor and the Princess will not fall out so quickly."
Song Ruyue said in a trembling voice: "Qingzhou, where do you think we can go in the future? To Huoyue Country?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "The world is so big, we can go anywhere. Don't worry, mother-in-law, Qingzhou will find a safe place, you don't have to worry."
Song Ruyue sighed, feeling confused.
Miss Qin Er comforted softly.
Miss Qin was still lying in the quilt, motionless, and it was unknown whether she was asleep or not.
Luo Qingzhou thought secretly.
Before leaving, he must take away the Xuantian Jade Girl Tree from Prince Duan's Mansion first.
As for Qingyun Temple, it is not in Kyoto City, so he can go there at any time.
After thinking for a while, he took out the message and sent a message to Sister Yue: Sister Yue, I may have to leave Kyoto soon. You should go out less in the future. The security in Kyoto will become more and more strict. You must be careful.
After the message was sent, a reply came quickly.
Sister Yue: Where are you going
Luo Qingzhou: It could be a sect, or it could be a paradise.
He really wanted to send a message, "Sister Yue, are you going?", but after hesitating for a moment, he didn't send it.
Sister Yue: Oh
Luo Qingzhou: Sister Yue, I will write down all the scriptures in the next few days and give them to you before I leave. Also, when you need to overcome the tribulation, you must tell me in advance and I will come to help you.
After sending the message, I waited for a long time but the other party did not reply.
Luo Qingzhou waited for a while, put away the message, listened to the low voices of the mother and daughter in the inner room hiding under the quilt, and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, the communication token on his body suddenly moved.
He took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. It was a message from Nangong Meijiao.
Xiao Meijiao: The situation is more serious than we thought. Many warriors in the inner city have been arrested. The emperor seems to want to take advantage of this case to do something. Several marquises and ministers who served as captains and princesses were arrested, and even the King of Chu and the King of Jiujiang were placed under house arrest. The other princes were also summoned back to Kyoto by the emperor on the pretext of reunion during the New Year, but I don't know how many of them dare to come back. You are also in danger. If you have a chance, leave quickly.
Luo Qingzhou: Princess, how about you? Is the Prince's Mansion okay
Xiao Meijiao: It's fine now, but I don't know what will happen in the future. You don't have to worry about me, just take care of your three wives and four concubines. I heard from my father that something happened at the border. My father didn't say much, but just confined me and Xueyi, telling us not to go out again, let alone look for you.
Luo Qingzhou said: Your Majesty should have wanted to take action a long time ago, this is indeed an opportunity
Xiao Meijiao: Chu Feiyang, there is a very powerful old eunuch in the palace, named Li Zhong. I heard from my father that he was a mid-level martial artist ten years ago, and his current strength is unfathomable. He also went to the Earl of Zhongwu's mansion tonight. A eunuch died there. He was his apprentice. You have to be careful.
Luo Qingzhou: Well, Princess, you must take good care of yourself
Xiao Meijiao: I am a member of the royal family. Our Prince Duan's Mansion has not taken sides. At most, I will be placed under house arrest. I will be fine. But you and the Qin family should be careful.
Luo Qingzhou: Princess, if I want to leave at that time, will you go with me
Xiao Meijiao: No, if I go with you, it means I am also a traitor. My father, mother, and Xue Yi will all be implicated. Chu Feiyang, I like you, but I will never kill my relatives because of you.
Luo Qingzhou: The princess's choice is right
Nangong Meijiao lay in the quilt, looking at the jade in her hand, without replying.
Luo Qingzhou put away the communication token and heard Song Ruyue's low voice coming from the inner room: "Wei Mo, Jianjia seems to have fallen asleep. Mother wants to ask you something. Does Jianjia really not like men?"
Miss Qin Er said softly: "Sister must have lied to Big Brother."
Song Ruyue was still worried, "But Qingzhou and she have been married for so long, and Qingzhou told me that Jianjia never let him touch her hand, let alone hug her or sleep with her. Even if Jianjia doesn't like him, after all, they have been married. How could it be possible that he never touched her once? And Qingzhou is good-looking, a scholar, elegant and handsome, and his attitude towards her is impeccable, but she is so repulsive, it really seems like she dislikes men..."
Miss Qin Er whispered, "Mother, did Brother Qingzhou tell you about my sister in private?"
Song Ruyue said: "I didn't complain, I asked him. Qingzhou is too honest. If it were any other man, he wouldn't have been married for so long and never even touched his wife's hand. Hey, Jianjia is really sorry for him, so when you liked him, mother didn't oppose you..."
Miss Qin Er defended her sister, "Maybe it's because you are too shy and Brother Qingzhou didn't take the initiative. If you were as thick-skinned as me and took the initiative, you might even be pregnant with Brother Qingzhou's child now."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Song Ruyue immediately scolded in a low voice: "What nonsense, you can't say such things now, the past is the past. Mother is just worried that your sister's... problem."
Miss Qin Er whispered, "Mother, how about letting Brother Qingzhou try again?"
Song Ruyue immediately scolded, "Stop talking nonsense! Don't think your mother is stupid. I don't know what's in your little head. You want Jianjia to... You're dreaming! That kid shouldn't be so foolish! Don't even think about it! Unless I die!"
Miss Qin Er said weakly: "Mother, what if my sister agrees?"
Song Ruyue said angrily, "Impossible! Jianjia will never agree to this! Don't mention this matter again, or don't blame your mother for spanking you!"
Miss Qin Er said: "Oh..."
The mother and daughter argued in low voices for a while before gradually quieting down.
Luo Qingzhou opened his eyes and looked at the roof, not feeling sleepy at all.
It's early morning.
It was late at night and quiet outside, but the snowflakes were still falling silently.
The windows whistled in the cold wind.
Luo Qingzhou lay there for a while but couldn't fall asleep. After seeing that everyone in the inner room was asleep, he quietly got up, went to open the door, put on his shoes and walked out.
I didn't expect that just as I walked out of the house, I suddenly saw a figure standing silently in the corridor, staring at the snowflakes in the courtyard in a daze.
She was wearing a light green dress, had a slender figure, waist-length black hair, and was holding a sword in her hand. It was Xia Chan.
Luo Qingzhou walked behind her, hugged her gently from behind, and asked softly: "Chanchan, why don't you sleep?"
Xia Chan stood there motionless, neither struggling nor answering.
Luo Qingzhou waited for a while, tilted his head, and looked at her curiously. Unexpectedly, he saw two crystal clear tears hanging silently in the corners of the girl's eyes.
Luo Qingzhou was startled and asked quickly: "Chanchan, what's wrong? Who bullied you? Was it Bailing? I'll go and help you beat her up!"
Xia Chan raised her little hand, wiped her tears, and said, "You."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Me? Chanchan, did the uncle bully you? How come the uncle didn't know?"
Xia Chan sobbed, turned around, turned her back to him, and didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Luo Qingzhou was confused, and immediately forced her body to turn around, grabbed her shoulders and said: "Chanchan, tell me clearly, how did the uncle bully you?"
Xia Chan lowered her head, silently shedding tears, and said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly became anxious, and hugged her waist and threatened: "Chanchan, if you don't tell me, I will take you to the Exiled Immortal Residence and make you cry all night long! Do you believe it?"
Xia Chan immediately struggled, crying as she struggled, "Bad, bad guy."
Luo Qingzhou hugged her tightly and said, "Uncle is a bad guy, then can you tell me how I bullied you? Shouldn't I have made you kneel last time? Or shouldn't I have forced you..."
"No, it's not!"
Xia Chan suddenly blushed and stopped him from continuing, crying, "You, you killed someone... without me..."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Just for this?"
After hearing this, Luo Qingzhou felt not only amused, but also distressed and moved.
Xia Chan wiped her tears and said: "I, I am useless..."
Luo Qingzhou hugged her tightly, lowered his head and kissed the tears on her cheeks, and said with pity in his heart: "Silly girl, what are you talking about? You are the most useful. I can't live without you. The reason why I didn't take you with me this time is because I can handle it alone, and I don't need you to help at all."
As he said that, he kissed her little mouth again and said softly: "Why bother the wife with something that the husband can handle? Only when the husband can't handle it, will he ask the wife to join him. Chanchan, don't cry, it will be your turn soon. When the time comes, the son-in-law will join you, and we will use the sword skills that we have practiced to kill all those bad guys, leaving no one alive, okay?"
Xia Chan stopped crying: "Really?"
Luo Qingzhou immediately raised his hand and swore: "If my son-in-law deceives Chanchan, the sky will be struck by thunder!"
Xia Chan covered his mouth with tears in her eyes and said anxiously: "No, don't, swear... Chan, Chanchan, believe it..."
Luo Qingzhou picked her up and said tenderly, "Chanchan, let's go. I will take you to the Exiled Immortal Residence to practice martial arts."
Xia Chan immediately struggled and said, "No, don't..."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Then let's go to your room? Is Xiao Bailing asleep?"
Xia Chan blushed immediately: "No... let me go, let me go..."
At this moment, a low voice suddenly came from the room: "Son-in-law, Xiao Bailing has fallen asleep, please come in quickly..."
Luo Qingzhou immediately turned his head and saw a pink figure quickly retreating back into the room.
