"Commander Qin."
When the eldest disciple of Bai Mei Ke opened the door, Qin Shan was grinding ink and painting in the room.
"Master and Master Pugu have something to ask you to discuss with each other."
Qin Shan looked up at the young man in his early twenties, with sharp brows and eagle eyes, and his body was full of the vigor that he had just entered the arena, but when he was in front of him, he seemed to have a lot of scruples and always restrained a lot. He put down his pen and said lightly, "The Qin Weitang system no longer exists, so don't call me the commander. What is Uncle Bai calling me?"
"Qin... Senior." The young man changed his name in embarrassment and said, "Master only said that it was related to the condition of the younger sister, and did not discuss it with me in detail."
Qin Shan nodded and walked out of the room, but paused when passing by the youth.
"Your name is Xiao Yingran?"
The name of the mad swordsman is taboo Xiao Yiran. At first glance, the names of the two are somewhat similar.
Xiao Yingran, the eldest disciple of Baimei Ke, lowered his head, "It's the name that my master gave me, probably to cherish the memory of Senior Xiao. This junior has no blood relationship with Senior Xiao."
Qin Shan continued to ask, "Then whose Xiao is your Xiao?"
Xiao Yingran was even more cramped, and even seemed a little uneasy, "The junior is from the Xiao family in Huainan... The same generation as Xiao Yi, but they are not the same, senior Qin—"
"The conflict between Xiao Yi and me does not involve the whole family. I have a personal grudge with him." Qin Shan guessed what he wanted to say, and said, "Even if you are Xiao Yi's younger brother, it has nothing to do with this matter."
Xiao Yingran looked up at him in astonishment, and soon felt a little embarrassed by his previous speculation, "It's the younger generation who's too worried." He looked at Qin Shan hesitantly, as if he wanted to say a few more words. But he didn't know how to speak.
However, Qin Shan had already passed him and turned to the corridor at this time.
"Since you are Uncle Bai's disciple, you should be the same generation as me, so you don't have to call me senior next time."
Leaving this sentence, his back has disappeared around the corner.
Xiao Yingran stood there, looking at the empty corridor, a little confused and a little helpless, and after a long time, he sighed softly: "Little Junior Sister is right, this Qin Weitang is really not as rumored in Jianghu... "
It's not as inhumane as it is, the blood is cold and bloody, and the murder is like numbness. The few days of getting along with each other has allowed Xiao Yingran to break the prejudice against Qin Shan, but he doesn't know that if he had met Qin Shan a few years earlier, it might not have been so easy to get along with.
The reason why Qin Shan is extremely patient with Xiao Yingran is that, on the one hand, his temperament has been honed in the Valley of No Name, and on the other hand, it is naturally because of Xiao Yiran's surname...
Qin Shan walked quickly, but Xiao Yingran's words just now echoed in his mind.
He said that he came from the Xiao family in Huainan and was in the same vein as Xiao Yi, so he thought he had nothing to do with the crazy swordsman Xiao Yiran.
But he didn't know that Qin Shan's master, Crazy Swordsman, was actually from the Xiao family, but the matter was kept secret.
Xiao Yingran really has nothing to do with Xiao Yiran, and the similar names are just because of Bai Mei Ke's whim
Qin Shan squinted his eyes, maybe he should ask Uncle Bai.
When Qin Shan found Bai Mei Ke, he was in the same room as Pu Cunxi, and with them was Xi Chenshui who had just returned from outside. At this time, Xi Chenshui was half-squatting on the chair, squatting on the seeds while complaining to the other two.
"I'm so annoying. Since disguising as Qi Ruowang these past few days, I haven't even had a good year." Xi Chenshui spat out the shell of the seeds and said, "Basically, wherever I appear in disguise, Xiao Yi will chase after me. That guy Qin Shan keeps making me play the wooden flute, isn't this intentional to attract that guy. And those owls, whose eyes are so sharp, I don't dare to get too close to them, for fear of being exposed."
Pu Cunxi said with great interest, "Then you took Xiao Yi for a walk outside, and you never met him head-on?"
Xi Chenshui said: "How can there be no! But generally I don't speak at this time, and let Xiao Yi say that when the young master has enough rest, he will run away with Qinggong, and he will not be able to catch up with me. "
Pu Cunxi asked, "What did he tell you?"
"Chen Ma Langu's shitty thing, he and Qi Ruowang tied a kite together, and when the two of them were young, they scooped up bird eggs together. Qi Ruowang made him the first Xiao. He also asked me: 'John, I still have something in my heart. You, how about you?'" Xi Chenshui looked disgusted, "I dislike my young master and vomit, hypocrite."
Pu Cunxi rolled his eyes, "Then you said that Qin Shan taught you to hang Xiao Yi, what exactly did you mean?"
"How do I know this... Why don't you ask Qin Shan." Xi Chenshui, who was hanging around, suddenly put down the seeds and sat up straight.
Pu Cunxi was not fooled, "Don't bluff me! It's okay to be found out by him?" He thought Xi Chenshui was still scaring him.
"What do I know about?"
However, Qin Shan's voice came from behind.
"Master Pugu, I didn't know that you care so much about this matter. It seems that you still have more than enough energy to cook those herbs."
He looked at Xi Chenshui who was snickering on the side, and said again: "What did I tell you? Qi Ruowang should not be disclosed to outsiders, so just open your mouth and forget it?"
Both Pu Xi were stunned for a moment. The two people who together had passed the Year of Destiny, shrunk like a child under Qin Shan's eyes.
"...Cough, so what, Lao Pu is not an outsider." Xi Chenshui's eyes dodged, and finally he couldn't help, "I recruit, I confess! You want Lao Pu to make counterfeit medicine for me, shouldn't I go to him often? , as soon as he came and went, he was caught by him."
"Fake medicine?!" Pu Cunqi was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "I never make counterfeit medicines, Qin Shandu said, it's a magic medicine to get rid of the fakes and save the real ones! Outsiders can't tell the truth from the fake!"
Qin Shan no longer pays attention to the bickering between the two. Qi Ruowang's matter is not a secret to these people, as long as it is not known by outsiders.
"Uncle Bai, what are you looking for me for?"
Bai Mei Ke, who had been watching the excitement, put away the smile on his lips and said slowly: "Lian'er's condition, Master Pu Gu said that there is progress, but it involves another matter, so I specially brought you here. ."
Qin Shan turned his attention to Pu Cunxi and noticed the old man's triumphant gaze.
"But Bai Lian's condition is very similar to Zang Feng's?"
Pu Cunxi was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't sit still.
"How did you guess it! No, no, you already knew that Zangfeng was sick, and what kind of gu in the little girl, you deliberately amused me?!" He pointed at Qin Shan, his face turned pale.
Qin Shan asked back, "Is it Gu among them?"
"Nonsense, it can confuse people's minds, disturb people's minds, what is Gu? And this one is especially special! Wait, don't you know?"
"I've only seen a person with the same symptoms before." Qin Shan said slowly, "He is different from Bai Lian, but somewhat similar to Zang Feng. Sometimes he is awake, sometimes in a trance. When he is awake, he is organized, but when he is in a trance, he has a temperament. But he became irritable and irritable. Later, the symptoms became more serious, and when he knew about his condition, he sent me out of the palace to look for medicine while he was awake."
The three people present heard the words, their eyes changed from hesitation to suddenness.
"Could it be—" Xi Chenshui hesitated.
"It's the emperor." Qin Shandao said, "It seems that he was poisoned by gu three years ago, but I don't know what the situation is now."
Pu Cunxi: "This Gu is a secret system in the Western Regions, and it is rarely spread to the Central Plains. The life-breaking Gu that I made is called Gu, but it's actually just a name given by outsiders ignorant. The real Gu poison, which is comparable to me. ."
Bai Mei Ke and the others remained silent. In this way, the Western Qiang people had plans for the Central Plains many years ago, and they were even able to indulge the Supreme People in the palace.
"The empress dowager is not the emperor's mother." Qin Shan said coldly, "It seems that she and the Xiqiang people have usurped."
The current emperor came from the concubines and concubines in the palace. Because his biological mother died early, he was raised by the empress at that time. When the previous emperor died, the empress's parents and children were still young. In the years since His Majesty's accession to the throne, the direct son of the year still grew up slowly. The queen mother has a different heart, so naturally she can't sit still. These secrets are rarely known to outsiders, but Qin Shan knows them well.
"No wonder, no wonder, I also said that there are no mothers in the world who would imprison their own sons due to illness. There is such an inside story." Xi Chenshui was surprised, "But the people of the Western Qiang have already taken the lead in the court. Why are you still reaching out to the rivers and lakes, and even sending someone to Wuminggu to catch you?"
Qin Shan's face was dark and he shook his head, "I don't know either."
"This matter..."
Bai Mei Ke said abruptly, "Maybe I have some clues about this matter."
Several people in the room all looked up at him.
Bai Mei Ke sighed and looked at Qin Shan, "I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would personally tell you about this old past. Shan'er, do you know why your master, a crazy swordsman, was hunted down by Jianghu people back then?"
At this time, when it comes to the past, Qin Shan has been able to calm down a lot.
"Know."
"They coveted Master's secret book," he said.
"Just a mere cheat book." Bai Mei Ke shook his head. "Whoever does not have their own secrets from the major sects, why would they tear up their face for a cheat book and personally hunt down the master of the swordsmanship that year. Shan'er, Have you read the secret book of your master?"
"Master never let me see, nor did he teach me the exercises on the secret book." Qin Shanming came to his senses, "Is it the problem of the secret book?"
"I don't know exactly what it is." Bai Mei Ke shook his head, "It's just that your master came to me back then. If he dies unfortunately, he will take care of your two brothers and sisters. As for the secret book, I have to ask Xiao family."
"Xiao's family." Qin Shan raised his eyebrows, "Uncle Bai, let me ask you something."
Without waiting for others, he said:
"Your eldest disciple, Xiao Yingran, what is the relationship with my master?"
Bai Mei Ke's answer was unexpected, "Xiao Yingran is not your master and son, but both of them are the last bloodline of the Xiao family."
Xiao family, Xiao Yi, Xiao Yiran, a secret book that has attracted the coveted by all forces.
Now that things are linked together, Qin Shan finally has some eyebrows.
"I'm afraid this Xiao family is not just the Xiao of Huainan Qinse."
He raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "If I remember correctly, the last descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty was also surnamed Xiao."
