Atractylodes

Chapter 15 The Murderer

After watching the game, Bai Shu and Ji Xia returned to the inn, where a group of people were eating around the table.Seeing that Lan Junrong was quite nervous, Ji Xia carefully sat down beside Liuyue.He buried his head, pretending that no one else could see him.

Bai Shu pulled the chair to push away the people next to him, and shamelessly rubbed against Lan Junrong.Seeing that Lan Junrong didn't respond, Bai Shu picked up a piece of braised pork for Lan Junrong as if to please him, "I pulled Ji Xia out, so if you want to blame it, blame me."

Lan Junrong raised his head and glanced at Ji Xia, and said in a calm voice, "You still hired a lobbyist?"

Ji Xia immediately opened his eyes wide and said, "No, no, Boss, all of you are gone when I go to bed together..."

Lan Junrong put the braised pork in his mouth, "Then you blame us for getting up too early?"

Ji Xia pursed her mouth and poked Liuyue beside her, wanting her to say something nice for her, but Liuyue slashed at her, "Stay away from me."

Ji Xia resigned to his fate, "I've finished washing the dishes today! Never let the people in the back kitchen help."

Lan Junrong lowered his head and picked out the prickly ash from the dish, "That's what you said."

Ji Xia suddenly raised his head, "Boss, you are not angry!"

Lan Junrong lowered his head and ate the food, "Today's task is a bit complicated. Although you are skilled, you lack experience after all. I didn't intend to let you go."

Ji Xia realized that he seemed to be cheated.

Lan Junrong raised her eyebrows, "Everyone heard you just now when you said you were going to wash the dishes. Don't worry, the kitchen staff will definitely not help you."

Bai Shu held the bowl and put the rice into his mouth, and glanced at Lan Junrong quietly with the end of his eyes. This man is really becoming more and more treacherous, so he has to be careful in the future.

"What are you thinking about?" Lan Junrong turned his head to look at Bai Shu.

Bai Shu was so excited that he almost spit out the rice, "Ahem... I think you are very smart and smart, you are really handsome."

Bai Shu finished his meal and slipped back into the room with lightning speed, escaping from Lan Junrong's sight.I lay down patting my belly, sad about my own competition tomorrow.If he showed up in public, his father would definitely grab him, and cleaning him up would be a must.It would be a pity to give up, because I had to suffer twice to qualify for the competition.

Someone pushed the door open, Bai Shu looked towards the door, "What are you doing?"

Lan Junrong unbuttoned his belt as he walked into the room, "This is my room."

"What?" Bai Zhu jumped up.

"Yesterday you were drunk, and the room was not cleaned up, so I let you sleep in my place first. Now I will clean it up for you, Nanfang." Lan Junrong gave Bai Zhu a look.

Bai Shu was shocked by the sudden news, "The two of us slept in the same bed last night?"

terrible.He himself had no impression of Lan Junrong's existence from the beginning to the end, and he actually slept in the same bed with Lan Junrong yesterday!

Lan Junrong gave Bai Shu a look to let him experience it.

"Thank you so much yesterday, I'm leaving now." Bai Shu straightened the quilt and left as if fleeing for his life.

Just as he slipped to the door, Lan Junrong stopped Bai Shu, "You seem to have forgotten something."

Bai Shu turned his head to look at Lan Junrong, his brain was running fast, what was Lan Junrong suggesting to him?What should I do?Bai Shu stared at the floor in embarrassment, and then quickly kissed Lan Junrong's face "baji".

Lan Junrong stared at Bai Shu with wide eyes, blushed, and stammered, "I mean...you forgot to take your clothes."

"Ah?" Bai Shu's face turned red, and he flew over to get the clothes and then fled as if flying.

In the room, Lan Junrong stood there for a long time without reacting.

Bai Shu couldn't stop regretting, feeling that she was really ashamed.Although Lan Junrong also..., but...but Bai Shu never took the initiative.Hey, hello... Bai Shu covered his face, which made it difficult for him to see people in the future.I've been thinking about these things all day.

"Forget it!" Bai Shu sat up straight, "Lan Junrong is so thick-skinned that he won't care. I'll take a bath and sleep, and I'll forget about it tomorrow!"

After Bai Shu took a bath, Erlang was reading comic books on the bed with her legs crossed. Lan Junrong opened the door again and walked in, "Put on your clothes and come out with me."

Bai Shu told himself to be reserved, and he must get back the shame he lost, so he pretended to be calm and refused, "No, I've already taken a bath."

Lan Junrong came over and stopped beside his bed.Bai Shu's hand holding the book trembled involuntarily.

"It's a big deal and I'll wash it for you again when I come back."

The book in his hand fell with a "snap" and hit his face, and Bai Shu got up quickly, "I'm just kidding, Lanyou, you're being too polite, what's the relationship between the two of us, we'll go through fire and water."

……

The night was dark and the wind was high and killing people. The two changed into night clothes and wandered in the darkness like ghosts.Bai Shu couldn't hide his excitement, "I feel a bit like a grand robber who robs the rich and gives to the poor."

Lan Junrong brought Bai Shu into the high wall. Based on Bai Shu's experience, this place should be a certain inn.Recently, the inns in Chang'an City are full of martial arts people, judging from the location of this inn, they live in a second-rate sect.

Could it be... Lan Junrong is killing people for Minglou?

"Hey, don't pull me when you kill someone!"

Lan Junrong glared at Bai Shu to signal him to shut up.Bai Shu is a little dissatisfied, why is it so fierce...

Lan Junrong skillfully jumped into a room from the window, only to hear a woman's exclamation coming from inside, and when she listened carefully, there was no sound at all.Bai Shu was startled, what is Lan Junrong doing?Test him?Two big men, one woman...

Bai Shu gasped, Lan Junrong is a beast!

He hurriedly followed and turned in, only to see a girl lying on the bed, propped up and looking at the two with a horrified expression, but no sound came out of her mouth.

Lan Junrong pulled down the scarf, "It's me, Xiying, don't be afraid."

Bai Shu couldn't figure it out at the time, so, did these two know each other?What was Lan Junrong doing sneaking here in the middle of the night?He glanced at Lan Junrong, but didn't dare to ask.Could it be an old love?He glanced at Lan Junrong again, but still didn't dare to ask.

"I came here to ask you something, I won't hurt you, now I will untie your acupoints, don't shout."

Lan Junrong stretched out his hand to unlock the acupoints, the woman saw Lan Junrong's face excitedly and said, "It's really you?"

People from the Lan family?Chong Baishu looked at Lan Junrong in bewilderment.

"I want to ask you about Xuan'er. You have been living with Xuan'er, did you notice anything unusual on the day Lan Xuan's accident happened?"

Lan Xiying grabbed Lan Junrong's sleeve, with tears in her eyes, "Brother Junrong... I can't believe they said you're still alive. How are you doing?"

Bai Shu got goose bumps from the sound of "Brother Jun Rong".

Lan Junrong said, "I'm doing well. Now I have limited time, can you tell me about the situation at that time?"

In the darkness, the expression on Lan Xiying's face could hardly be seen clearly, but her voice fluctuated slightly, "I remember that time you were whipped. After Lan Xuan went to see you, her mood stabilized a little and she stopped crying. Then ...then I fell asleep as soon as it got dark and I didn't know anything!"

"Xiying..."

"Brother Jun Rong, I really don't know anything."

Chong Baishu finally knew why Lan Junrong brought him here.Bai Shu pulled Lan Junrong away, stepped on the bed, the dagger in his hand gleamed coldly, Lan Xiying was frightened by this posture all of a sudden.

"Do you know me?"

Lan Xiying glanced at Lan Junrong in fear.

"Don't look at him! He can't stop me from doing what I want to do. I want to ask you something now..."

"I do not know anything……"

Bai Shu pulled down the scarf, curled the corners of her mouth, "I want to ask, do you know how Xuanxuan died?"

"Heavy...heavy Baishu?" Lan Xiying's eyes widened in horror.

Chong Baishu is very satisfied with the effect, it's scary that he shouldn't be like this, as if he is some kind of monster. "Now I suspect that you have something to do with Xuanxuan's death. You say you don't know anything, and I can only treat you as a dead duck. In order to avenge Xuanxuan, you just..."

Lan Xiying trembled, "You pervert! It's you! Who else do you dare to ask! I saw that you and the head of the family came out of the room!"

Lan Junrong was surprised, and asked, "Did you see Bai Shu's face?"

Lan Xiying stepped back a little, staring at Bai Shu in horror, "Jun Rong, don't be fooled by him! I can see clearly, it's him!"

"You nonsense!" Bai Shu gritted his teeth and was about to step forward, but was pulled back by Lan Junrong. Bai Shu turned his head and looked at Lan Junrong with some fear, "Lan Junrong, I..."

Lan Junrong put his hands on his back, "Don't worry." Turning her head, "Can you tell me about the situation at that time?"

"That day Xuanxuan came back and said she was going to rest. When I went to see her at night, no one answered when I knocked on the door. I thought she was asleep and left first, but...but I didn't know why that day, I felt something was wrong, so I hid Observing from the side, at first I thought it was you who came out of the ancestral hall to comfort Xuanxuan... After a while, I saw two people coming out of the room quickly, and they disappeared in an instant. I... It took a long, long time before I dared to look Xuanxuan, seeing her..."

"Okay, stop talking..." Lan Junrong pressed his head.

Bai Shu's face turned pale, "Did you see those two people?"

"It's the Patriarch and you...it's you..., I can't admit my mistake..."

"Okay, I get it. Don't tell anyone what happened today." Lan Junrong pulled Bai Shu away after speaking.

Under the moonlight, Lan Junrong's face was ugly, Bai Shu didn't know why Lan Junrong brought him out, but he suddenly lost confidence.Walking to an open place, Bai Shu couldn't help but said, "Do you believe it?"

Lan Junrong turned his back to him, "To be honest, I doubted you at first."

Bai Shu's eyes widened, feeling a pain, "Including... when you saw me in front of Lan Xuan's tomb?

"Because you are really smart. No one knows what you are thinking. You don't seem to care about anything, but who knows? There are always some people, well hidden. Feng Qin happened to be crazy again at that time, too many clues All pointed at you."

Bai Shu suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

Lan Junrong changed the subject, "But I quickly dismissed the idea. Because although Lan Qingyuan's martial arts are not very good, with your ability, you are still..."

Lan Junrong didn't finish his sentence, but Bai Shu felt that he had been greatly insulted, and kicked away the stones in the grass. What does it mean that although Lan Qingyuan's martial arts is not very good?

grandma's.

Lan Junrong pulled Bai Shu, "Don't be angry, I was wrong. If it wasn't you, there is only one possibility—that person should pretend to be you to communicate with Lan Qingyuan."

Bai Shu couldn't believe it, "You mean that Lan Qingyuan always thought he was cooperating with me? How is this possible, a dignified patriarch, what am I?"

"I can only blame you for doing too many bad things."

Bai Shu looked at Lan Junrong with a natural look, turned around and fanned the cool breeze with his hands, damn it, I was so angry at night.

"Actually, I wanted to tell you a long time ago that there are people around you that you can't trust completely. Since that person is pretending to be you, it means that he is very familiar with you, and...if the matter is discovered, he hopes that you can die for him... ..."

The amount of information in this sentence is too large, and it took Bai Shu a long time to digest it before he understood it.He even shuddered at the thought of a person dealing with Lan Qingyuan in his face.

"Bai Shu, I brought you here not to suspect you, but because I don't have the courage to know the answer alone. Now it seems that the murderer intends to target you, you'd better be on guard."
