"Who will deliver the letter?" Wen Liunian asked.
"Me!" The mascots raised their hands in unison.
Wuying snatched the envelope, put it in his arms and ran - if he didn't find another chance to sneak out, he might lose half of his hair. After all, being bumped into by Ms. Liu "inadvertently" every day is really not a blessing.
The reason why Liu Xiangnan proposed marriage at the beginning was also to have a relationship with Shen Qianfeng, so as to protect the lives of the whole family. This time, since everyone has already moved into the house, he is satisfied, and he will not be so ignorant as to mention the matter of marriage—to take a step back, he is even afraid that if Wu Ying is unwilling to mention it again, he will simply scare people away , that is really not worth the candle. Liu Zhenwei was so dazed by Xiao Lingzi's fascination, he went into the bedroom every day after finishing the business at hand, and often even sent dinner directly to the room. Although Liu Wanzhi liked Wuying, her elder brother and father kept silent about it. As a daughter, it was hard for her to speak out, so she had to suppress all her concerns.
As a result, inside the Pinglang Gang, things became calmer and calmer day by day.
"Just live like this forever?" Ye Jin asked Wen Liunian—Shen Qianfeng went to the White Fish Tower a few times later, but he didn't find too many new clues.
"Liu Xiangnan obviously has a secret." Wen Liunian propped his cheek with one hand, "Although I don't know what it is now, but as time goes by, it will always show his feet." Besides, Shang Yunze is in Da Kun City now. , and Duan Baiyue is on one side, Chu Heng will not cause too much trouble, and he is not in a hurry to go back.
"That's right." Ye Jin poured two cups of tea and asked again, "I'll go to the pharmacy in the city later to see if there are any freshly salvaged sea orchids. Would you like to go with me?"
"I won't go." Wen Liunian yawned, "After lunch, hurry up and go back to sleep for a while."
Ye Jin looked at him speechlessly, and went to sleep after eating, and he had nothing to do recently, so hurry up.
Master Wen said cheekily: "Health."
Ye Jin: "..."
No wonder Mr. Zhao repeatedly told himself three times before leaving that he must take his lord around more.
It turned out to be so lazy.
The sea orchid grass would dry up as soon as it came out of the running water. Thinking that he had already made an appointment with the boss last time, Ye Jin didn't feel like having lunch, so he went out alone after drinking tea. Wen Liunian lay on the table and yawned, just about to have a snack to wake up, but the magistrate came to the door and said that there was a headless corpse in the outskirts of the city.
"Headless corpse?" Wen Liunian suddenly lost all sleepiness.
"That's right." The local county magistrate's name is Pu He, and he is quite honest. At this moment, he was a little at a loss, "I don't know where it came from. There are many spells around, and I really can't find out."
With a human life involved, Wen Liunian naturally didn't dare to be sloppy, and hurried out with the hidden guards, and rushed all the way to the outskirts of the city to assist in the investigation.
When Shen Qianfeng and Liu Xiangnan finished their discussion, it was already dusk, but the guest courtyard was empty, there was no one there.
"Ye Guzhu went to the Asi medicine shop in the city, and he hasn't come back yet." The gatekeeper said, "Master Wen and the heroes of the Shadow Chasing Palace were invited away by the county magistrate, saying that they had something to ask for."
"Thank you." Shen Qianfeng nodded, and went all the way to find Ye Jin to go home.
Asi Pharmacy is the largest pharmacy in Xiaojiaping, and there are often rare goods in it. When Ye Jin first came here, he accidentally bumped into the extremely rare rainbow shellfish in the deep sea, so he would go around every once in a while. It's just that when Shen Qianfeng found him this time, the pharmacy was already closed, and it was pitch black inside.
"Is anyone there?" Shen Qianfeng raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Are you Leader Shen?" A childish voice suddenly came from behind.
Shen Qianfeng turned around, and saw a six or seven-year-old doll holding an osmanthus cake in one hand and a letter in the other.
"Axibo asked me to give it to you." The little baby handed the letter into his hands, turned around and ran back home.
There were only a few lines on the letter paper, saying that the person was at Princess Peak of Minshan Mountain, and if he wanted to just come and look for him, if he dared to leak the news, he would wait to clean up for his sweetheart. Jin tore off his robe. Shen Qianfeng's complexion changed drastically, and before he had time to think about it, he rode his horse and galloped out of the city.
Minshan is not high, but it stretches extremely wide. Princess Peak is located behind the 19th chain link. When Shen Qianfeng finally arrived, the sky was completely dark, the night was low and starry, and the surroundings were silent.
"Xiao Jin!" Holding a torch, Shen Qianfeng searched around the mountain, almost digging three feet into the ground. Lu Congyu followed beside him, hissing from time to time. At midnight, they finally found Ye Jin who was still unconscious in a cave.
"Xiao Jin." Shen Qianfeng rushed up to pick him up, tested his pulse, and stretched out his hands to untie his acupuncture points.
Ye Jin closed her eyes and coughed twice, and finally woke up slowly, unable to react for a while.
"Who tied you up?" Shen Qianfeng's palms were covered with cold sweat. It seemed that he had exhausted all the worries and anxieties of his life from the Asi Pharmacy to here.
Ye Jin closed her eyes and thought for a while, finally came to her senses: "There is a problem with that pharmacy!"
"I know." Shen Qianfeng took off his outer robe and wrapped it around him, "Tell me first, is there any injury?"
"No, I was knocked out." Ye Jin's neck was a little sore, "I didn't know later."
"Let's go back first." Shen Qianfeng hugged him horizontally.
"Yeah." Ye Jin leaned against his chest, stretched out her hand to rub her temples, and only remembered to ask after a while, "Is it only targeting me? Has Mr. Wen been plotted against?"
"I don't know, so I have to go back quickly." Shen Qianfeng said, "But when I came here, I heard from the gatekeeper that Mr. Wen was invited to leave by the county magistrate, and there are many people from the Shadow Chasing Palace to protect him. It should be fine."
Ye Jin nodded, but was still a little puzzled. No one in the Jianghu would be so stupid as to prescribe medicine to him. The owner of the pharmacy first tied him up for no reason, and then was found by Shen Qianfeng so easily. What was the purpose? After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't have any idea. I just felt a little upset, but a possibility suddenly flashed in my mind, so I suddenly raised my head: "Wuying went to Leiting Beach to deliver a letter. Mr. Wen and Yingying Palace were invited away by the county magistrate. You and I Here again, so in the Pinglang gang tonight, only the Liu family is there?"
Shen Qianfeng frowned, hugged him tightly and whipped the horse, but an ominous premonition gradually surged in her heart.
The east began to show its belly white, and many people stood in the Pinglang gang and sighed a thousand times-it was a crime, it was so good, how could there be a fire for no reason, and the house was burned so cleanly and thoroughly.
When the county magistrate heard the report, he brought people over in a hurry, including Wen Liunian and everyone from the Shadow Chasing Palace—the headless corpses in the barren hills on the outskirts of the city are too bizarre, and there are many inexplicable bloodstains and torn spells around them Letters, so I spent the whole night there, and didn't come back until dawn to sleep for a while, but I didn't expect to hear the news when I just entered the city.
"It's still a step too late." Looking at the green smoke that still refused to dissipate and the scorched broken wall, Ye Jin sighed deeply.
Everyone in Chasing Shadow Palace assisted the government servants to find the corpses one by one, and placed them in the backyard to cover them with a white cloth. Both Liu Xiangnan and Liu Zhenwei were not spared, and their appearance can almost be described as horrible. After checking, the hidden guard said, "They all have stab wounds."
Wen Liunian was extremely annoyed, the other party had obviously come prepared, first created a murder scene in the outskirts of the city that looked like a ecstasy array, distracted himself and Shadow Chasing Palace, and then kidnapped Ye Jin to distract Shen Qianfeng, such an obvious serial scheme, To really let him succeed, and cause this family extermination tragedy under the noses of everyone.
"My lord, don't blame yourself." An Wei said, "The most urgent thing is to find out the real culprit."
"Is there Xiao Lingzi in the corpse?" Wen Liunian asked.
The dark guard shook his head: "I won't be able to tell the difference for a while, but according to her level of intelligence, she might be fine."
In the inn in the city, Ye Jin cooked a bowl of calming soup and put it in front of Shen Qianfeng.
"Why did you wake up again?" Shen Qianfeng pulled him into his arms, reached out and touched his forehead, "Still having a fever, go back to bed quickly."
"Is self-blame useful?" Ye Jin asked.
"..." Shen Qianfeng was at a loss for words.
"You are the leader of the martial arts alliance, I know." Ye Jin gently massaged his temples, her voice was very low, "I haven't slept for two days, let's take a rest."
Shen Qianfeng shook his head: "I'm fine."
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have left Pinglang Gang." Ye Jin said, "Even if you have to blame yourself, it should be me."
"Talking nonsense again, what does this have to do with you." Shen Qianfeng said helplessly, "I'll just go and rest."
"If this goes on like this, don't be the leader of the alliance anymore." Ye Jin said, "The world is so big, whoever can maintain its stability by himself, let him be the leader, and we will go home and live in peace."
Shen Qianfeng held his hand, leaned to his lips and kissed it.
"Are you listening to me?" Ye Jin frowned.
"Of course." Shen Qianfeng asked him to lean against her chest, and apologized, "I just want to think things through, and I've made you worry."
"Drink the soup." Ye Jin stuffed the bowl into his hand and ordered, "Then sleep."
Shen Qianfeng nodded: "OK."
Anshen incense was lit in the room, and a lot of herbs were added to the Anshen soup, so Shen Qianfeng fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as it touched the pillow. Seeing the unconcealable fatigue between his brows, Ye Jin stroked his brows lightly with her fingers, lowered her head and pressed a kiss, but sighed deeply in her heart.
In this rivers and lakes, why can't we be safe for a while.
