Master's Escape Plan

Yunhuai is located in the easternmost part of the territory of Tianqi, facing the sea on one side, there are countless large and small lakes and seas.

The winter wind is bitter, with dark frost and snow, and the plum blossoms in the city are in full bloom overnight.Fragrances linger, falling into the lake with the fine snow, the sound of oars and the lights and shadows breaking apart like dream reflections, literati and refined scholars go boating on the lake, warming wine and poetry, it’s so leisurely.

When Qin Shu saw such a scene, he felt in a trance that he had come to Jiangnan in his previous life.

The station is in the east of the city, standing by the lake, leaning against a dangerous building with gentle wind, two or three plum blossoms outside the building, elegant and low-key.

It was very late, and when Qin Shu arrived, the lights in the building were still on.

There was a boy waiting outside the door, rubbing his hands while looking into the distance.

Qin Shu withdrew his disguise, let out a sigh of relief, raised his sword and walked towards the gate of the inn.

The lantern hanging at the door was swaying, and the night was dark. The little boy saw him after a while, his eyes lit up, and he took the initiative to ask, "But Elder Qin?"

Qin Shu nodded, and the young disciple hurriedly called the people inside to come out to greet him.

After patting the snow off his shoulders, Qin Shu took off his cloak as he walked through the courtyard, and soon someone came out and held up an umbrella for him to block the slowly falling snowflakes.

Qin Shu handed the cloak to the little boy, and accidentally looked up, only to find that the person holding the umbrella for him was Chu Jiangyue.

I haven't seen her for a few months, but Chu Jiangyue has changed a bit, not as cold as before, and her face is indifferent, as if she has been melted by something.He was still dressed in white, with silver dark lines looming on it, making his face like a crown jade, and his figure was slender, half a head taller than Qin Shu.

Compared with Xie Linqing, Chu Jiangyue's appearance is tougher, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, high nose and plump lips, and sharp lines. At first glance, she is extremely difficult to get along with, and she lives up to his previous cold face.

"Meet the elder." Chu Jiangyue whispered.

Qin Shu agreed, and walked with him through the courtyard covered with flying snow, and entered the back room.

The hot tea has been prepared and is boiling on the stove. The room is filled with the fragrance of tea, and the candlelight is warm and yellow. The bamboo arhat bed is covered with a thick layer of mattress. When Qin Shu sat on it, he couldn't help sighing that this is the most suitable place to sleep. In the first half of the month, although it looked like a bit of a tall man, it was still not as good as a high bed and soft pillow.

"How do you know I'll be there tonight?" He asked casually when Chu Jiangyue was pouring tea for him.

Chu Jiangyue poured [-]% full, and replied with downcast eyes: "I have a hexagram recently, and I vaguely know that it is these two days."

Hearing this answer, Qin Shu faintly felt that something was wrong.When Xie Linqing started hexagrams earlier, he went to learn something about it.

Knowledge, the person who knows the hexagram to predict the whereabouts of others cannot be regarded as a person with a higher cultivation base than himself, otherwise the hexagram will be confused and the real answer will not be revealed at all.

"How did Chu Jiangyue figure out my whereabouts? Could it be that he cheated?" Qin Shu asked Ba Qi suspiciously.

Baqi captured the information and analyzed it, and found it very strange: 【"Why? Chu Jiangyue just broke through to Nascent Soul, it's impossible."】

Qin Shu took advantage of the time of drinking tea to secretly look at Chu Jiangyue. It was true that he had just broken through to Yuanying, and he had already said everything, so there was no possibility of cheating.

【"The host wait a moment, Baqi went to look up relevant information."】Baqi buried himself in the search for information.

Putting down the teacup, she seemed to feel that the room was too stuffy. Chu Jiangyue got up and pushed the wooden window open a little, and asked, "You can allow me to ask more questions, where is the elder's disciple? Why didn't you accompany me?"

Mentioning Xie Linqing, Qin Shu wanted to remain silent, but silence was not the best way to respond at this time, so he said, "I was separated from him when Tian Zhizong was in ambush. Didn't he come to the inn?"

Hearing this, Chu Jiangyue was slightly surprised, pondered for a while, then shook her head and said, "Never."

"That's strange, where did he go?" Qin Shu put on a puzzled and worried look on his face, and threw this question to Chu Jiangyue.

He really didn't know where Xie Linqing had gone, and wanted to see how Chu Jiangyue would answer.

Seeming to be covered in snow, Chu Jiangyue brushed off her sleeves when she withdrew her hand, frowned slightly and said, "In this case, tomorrow the disciple will mobilize the people at the post station to go out and look for it."

Qin Shu nodded slightly: "I have a heart."

Baqi's analysis came out and bubbled up, wondering: 【"Why do I feel that none of you are very worried about Xie Linqing's appearance?"】

The wind and snow rustled, blowing in through the gap, the white snow fell into the warm tea, and quickly melted, Qin Shu was incomprehensible to it, "You don't understand."

【"Of course Baqi doesn't understand, if you do, why ask the host?"】Baqi said aggrievedly.

Smiling but not answering, Qin Shu picked up the teacup and took another sip. The tea tasted like snow, and it was extraordinarily dense, like someone's eyes that melted from the first snow.

He had a premonition that Xie Linqing would show up on his own initiative.There is no need for people at the post station to search for it deliberately. When he wants to appear, he will naturally appear in front of him.

It snowed all night, spreading a brilliant white in the courtyard, tea was burning in the house, the two of them had almost no words, sipping tea quietly.

In the end, Baqi didn't find out the reason why Chu Jiangyue's hexagrams were abnormal. It can only be attributed to his special way of hexagrams, which is temporarily unknown.

On the second day, Chu Jiangyue really called

The staff at the post station went to look for Xie Linqing, and he himself was out all day, and he hardly returned to the post station until dark.Although he was also helping to find it, Qin Shu felt that he was lying.

Chu Jiangyue was indifferent on the surface, and his behavior was not warm. Due to his personality, it was absolutely impossible for him to curry favor with others and go out so diligently.Moreover, on the night when Qin Shu talked about Xie Linqing's disappearance when he first arrived at the inn, his eyes and expression did not move at all, as if he just heard an ordinary thing, only the moment of complexity and bewilderment when he lowered his eyelashes was captured by Qin Shu arrive.

Why did Chu Jiangyue show such an expression?He went out every day, if he wasn't trying his best to find Xie Linqing, what was he busy with?

All kinds of doubts lingered on Chu Jiangyue, so Qin Shu picked a day without snow and quietly followed Chu Jiangyue out the door.

A short distance away, Chu Jiangyue's natal spirit sword, Haoyue, was worn on her waist, holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, tall and thin from her back, walking an alley that few people passed by.

Black tiles and white walls, a man with black hair and white clothes with a sword, passed by under the eaves, and snow water dripped from the eaves, pattering, as elegant and deep as a splash-ink painting.

This is the way to the city, who is Chu Jiangyue going to see?

After the snow stopped, Yun Huai was very poetic. Qin Shu followed him through the alley, crossed the arch bridge, and went down the river, finally stopping outside a pastry shop.

Chu Jiangyue stood outside the pastry shop, her back straightened, and she flexed and stretched her right index finger holding the umbrella handle a few times, revealing a hint of nervousness.He waited for a while until someone came out to see him, and then he went in with someone.

This pastry shop is the kind of shop that Yunhuai can't see very often, and the pastries sold are also Yunhuai's taste, there is nothing special about it, only the person who welcomed him in just now...

Qin Shu stood in the corner, thinking about that person in his mind.What came out was a woman, with a delicate appearance, but a pair of eyes that were very charming, with hooks that seduced people.

She leaned close to Chu Jiangyue's ear and said a few words. The distance was close, but the posture was refusing. The two were clearly contradictory, but they combined a fairy-like temperament on her body.It was just such a flash, a face-to-face, and a look that made Qin Shu stunned in place.

From time to time, he has only seen one woman like this—Wan Jing.

If it is not necessarily her, but before she and Chu Jiangyue entered the door, they clearly glanced this way, with a smile on their lips, and hesitated to speak, which showed that she found someone was here.

How could it be Wanjing?How did they get mixed up?

It was rare for Qin Shu to be a little confused in his mind. He had never thought of Chu Jiang before this.

The person Yue is going to meet is Wanjing.

Feeling confused, Qin Shu simply waited outside, wanting to see when Chu Jiangyue would come out.

Yunhuai is to the east, it gets dark early, guests come and go, and the snow falls again.

When Chu Jiangyue came out, it was time to light the lanterns, and Wanjing didn't come out to see him off.He held up the oil-paper umbrella, faced the empty long street, and looked back into the pastry shop.

She is always so ruthless, she is not even willing to see him off when parting.

Chu Jiangyue retracted her eyes softly, sighed, and walked slowly towards the road in the dark.

In the corner, Qin Shu patted the snowflakes off his shoulders, glanced complicatedly at the pastry shop that was closed, and was about to go back to the post station.From here, he could see clearly that Chu Jiangyue's eyes could no longer be described as melting icebergs, it was like a river of spring water flowing eastward.

Is Wanjing sincere or unintentional towards him?Qin Shu would not think that she was sincere, if he had no intention of playing with her, why would he seek Chu Jiangyue?He is just an elder disciple in Zheng Yizong.

With all kinds of doubts and puzzles, Qin Shu rushed back to the station before Chu Jiangyue.
