Abduct a shadow guard to investigate the case

Shen Yao pushed the door and went out, and soon came back with a copper basin half filled with water.

"I drew some cold water from the well in the courtyard." Shen Yao explained to him, put the basin on the table, took out a white handkerchief from his arms, soaked it in water, twisted it, and walked to Xuan Qi.

"You'd better lie down." Saying that, she wanted to help Xuan Qi lie down on the bed.

This movement was too unfamiliar to Xuan Qi, he struggled a little, Shen Yao exerted a little force on his hand, and said, "Be obedient, don't make trouble."

"..." Xuan Qi thought to himself, Mr. Shen looks like coaxing a child.But he didn't know whether it was because he was seriously injured or weak, or because Shen Yao's movements were bewitching, but he obediently obeyed Shen Yao's fiddling and leaned against the head of the bed.

Shen Yao applied the soaked veil on his forehead, and the cold veil instantly reduced the dizzy heat on his forehead a lot, Xuan Qi felt his heart relax, and could not help but squint his eyes.

"Have you taken any medicine?" Shen Yao asked.

Xuan Qi was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Shen Yao to be concerned about his injuries all the time, he thought that Shen Yao would question him like a cannonball, asking him to recall what happened on the day Hall Master Shi was killed, even if he really fainted because of the test drug I really don't have any memory, but no one will believe it; Shen Yao may borrow torture tools from the torture hall to punish him because of his offense in the cave that day.However, it will never be like now, let him lie down and ask him if he has taken medicine for fever.

"Hello—" Shen Yao waved his hand in front of his eyes.

"I've taken the medicine." Xuan Qi blinked and said.

"That's good, so I don't have to run to find medicine for you so late." Shen Yao smiled and said, "By the way, when the veil gets hot, you can soak it again and apply it on your forehead."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen." Xuan Qi said obediently.

"No thanks." Shen Yao raised the corner of his mouth and said.Thinking of the person in front of him who endured the punishment for nearly a day and a night without pleading guilty, one can see how strong his perseverance is. This forbearing and resolute person let go of his strength in front of him and let him take care of him, which made Shen Yao feel strange. closeness and satisfaction.

"Young master, won't you punish me?" Xuan Qi couldn't help but ask.

"Ah?" Shen Yao quickly came back to his senses, raised his chin, and said, "Hey, in the cave that day, I obviously won the fight, but you ran away. I also want to thank you for accompanying me to fight and practice Why should I punish you?"

"..." Xuan Qi blinked, but hesitated to speak.

"What? Not convinced? If you are not convinced, we will compete again after you recover from your injury." Shen Yao made a gesture to roll up his sleeves.

"Xuan Qi dare not..."

"Heh, then I'll count you as admitting defeat." Shen Yao laughed.

"..." Xuan Qi felt that every sentence of the conversation with Shen Yao was not in the same line of thought, and anyway, he had nothing to argue with.It's just that the young master in front of him is handsome, with a slight smile, which makes people feel the spring breeze blowing on his face, Xuan Qi couldn't help but linger on his face for a while longer.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Shen Yao say, "By the way, Xuan Qi, I want to ask you, did you find anything unusual on the day my cousin was killed? It doesn't matter how subtle it is, just tell me about it."

Xuan Qi looked serious and recalled, "Yesterday... this subordinate passed out because of testing the medicine, and when he woke up, Hall Master Shi had already..." He said and squeezed his bruised lips.

"Then what happened before you fell into a coma? Did anyone come to see my cousin?"

"No."

"Then do you know how long you were unconscious?"

"My subordinates remember that the drug test started yesterday at Shen Shi, and the drug caused pain in the chest and abdomen. When I was about to lose consciousness, I seemed to hear the sound of a bell striking." Xuan Qi said.

"The sound of the bell striking?"

"Well, I think that should be the ringing of the bell at the end of training in the Youshi Martial Hall every day."

"And Xiaofeng found out that my cousin was killed just after the end of You hour, that is to say, the time when my cousin was killed should be within You hour." Shen Yao rubbed his chin in thought.

"This clue is very important." Shen Yao looked up at Xuan Qi, his eyes flickering, "Do you remember anything else?"

Xuan Qi frowned slightly, thought carefully, then shook his head.He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and couldn't help coughing lowly, with unconcealable distress.He hastily closed his lips tightly, patiently making no more noise.

Seeing this, Shen Yao stretched out his hand, originally wanted to help him up and pat his back, but then remembered that there should be many wounds on his back, so he held his wrist instead, and sent a wave of true energy to him.

As soon as the zhenqi penetrated into Xuan Qi's body, he felt a resistance, Shen Yao said softly, "Relax, let me help you channel the zhenqi."

"Master Shen..." Xuan Qi was surprised, seeing that Shen Yao was unwilling to give up, so he had to relax as much as possible.

Shen Yao's true energy flowed in along Xuan Qi's veins, helping him run a circle.

He frowned and withdrew his hand, and said to Xuan Qi, "Your tendons are seriously damaged, and you need to recuperate. These days, you should take medicine and meditate more to adjust your breath."

Xuan Qi looked at him, his dark eyes were like a deep pool quenched by autumn rain, fluctuating silently, and finally just turned into a cry, "Thank you, my lord."

Shen Yao felt that he seemed to have something to hide, but he was unwilling to tell.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Yao asked, "Xuan Qi, do you hate my cousin? I mean, he used you to test medicine..."

"How can my subordinates hate Hallmaster Shi?" Xuan Qi looked at Shen Yao in surprise, and said, "Testing medicine is the responsibility of subordinates, obeying the master's order is the value of our existence, and what Hallmaster Shi does is irrelevant." Anything wrong." His voice was calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Seeing Xuan Qi's sincere expression, Shen Yao felt depressed and irritable again. How could a strong and obedient person be rendered indifferent? It's like being stripped of something important in a person's heart. Same.

He raised one hand to rub his forehead, then put it down abruptly, looked at Xuan Qi and said, "Xuan Qi, we must find out the real culprit, for my uncle and you."

There seemed to be a rippling in Xuan Qi's black eyes, which soon disappeared, he still had no expression on his face, but he nodded and said, "Xuan Qi has a duty to do, the film master has ordered me to assist you in solving the case, but according to your orders. "

"Well," Shen Yao smiled at him, and said, "Then you have a good rest today, and I'll go back first."

Shen Yao walked to the door, and suddenly heard Xuan call "Young Master". He looked back and saw Xuan Qi got up and got off the bed, knelt down earnestly, and said to Shen Yao, "Young Master, today I will help Xuan Qi to clear up his grievances. Thank you son, please accept Xuan Qiyi's respect."

"Hey, there's no need to pray." Shen Yao hurried forward, but before he could stop him, Xuan Qi had already bowed down.

Shen Yao helped him up, saw the sincerity in his deep eyes, and smiled wryly, "You are really..."

Following Xuan Qi's movements, the iron chains on his feet have been making clanking sounds since just now.Shen Yao looked down, became more and more irritable, and said, "This thing is really in the way." After saying that, he squatted down and directly pulled it with his hands.

"Master Shen..." Xuan Qi was so startled that he also squatted down.

Shen Yao found that the anklet was made of black iron, and it was extremely strong, so he said to Xuan Qi, "You wait for me here." Then he rushed out the door.Xuan Qi stayed on the spot.

Not long after, the guards in the courtyard followed Shen Yao to Xuan Qi's room, and helped Xuan Qi open his ankle chain with a sullen face.

"If this kid runs away, you have to take full responsibility." The guard said to Shen Yao.

"No problem," Shen Yao responded immediately, and he didn't know how he moved the guards, so he heard him say, "The hall masters of your medicine hall, shadow hall, and punishment hall have all agreed to let Xuan Qi assist me in investigating the case. It is absolutely wrong for you to lock him up."

The guard glanced at him, lowered his head and continued to open the lock, muttering, "A shadow guard, a medicine man, why are there so many things?"

"I'm here to guard Li." Shen Yao clasped his fists at him, then winked at Xuan Qi.

"Hmph!" The guard rolled up the iron chain, glanced at Xuan Qi again, and left the room.

"Okay, so you can go for a walk outside to get some fresh air if you have nothing to do, and your injury will heal quickly." Shen Yao's mood was not affected by the guard at all, he turned his head and smiled at Xuan Qi.

"Thank you, son." Xuan Qi was about to kneel down again as he spoke, but Shen Yao supported him in time this time.

"Hey, you don't have to kneel to me all the time. I'm not from Tibetan Villa, so you don't have to have so many rules with me." Shen Yao said, "You should rest early, I'm leaving."
