Youxu Hexu

The study room is built by the pool, separated into two rooms, the outer room contains books, and the inner room houses desks and reclining chairs.When Duanmu Huichun walked into the room, he felt a gust of breeze blowing along the water surface, revealing a damp coolness.

Ji Qinglan leaned on the recliner to read a book, her expression was indifferent, her eyes were fixed on the pages of the book, and she didn't move for a long time.

A Pei winked at Duanmu Huichun, then pointed to the tea table next to Ji Qinglan.There is a teapot and two cups on it.

Duanmu Huichun walked over knowingly, picked up the teapot and was about to pour tea, when Ji Qinglan waved his hand and said, "I'm not thirsty."

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Sinha rushed in with a face full of anger, but his gaze that met Ji Qinglan froze again, and he whispered: "It's not good for you to come back alone."

Ji Qinglan sat up calmly and said, "I have already apologized to the guests."

Singha murmured, "That's not what I meant."

Another guest?Duanmu Huichun backed away calmly.

Ji Qinglan said: "I know nothing about the Western Qiang martial arts, and I don't understand the Western Qiang language. Even if I sit there, I can't understand it. Why waste time?"

Sinha said, "If you don't understand, I can explain it to you."

Ji Qinglan lowered her head, remained silent for a moment, and said, "I'm not a member of Shengyue Sect after all, so it's okay if I don't know some things."

Sinha hurriedly said: "You have lived for so many years, do you still have me and you?"

Ji Qinglan said: "No matter how many years you've lived here, you're just a stranger under the fence."

Sinha became anxious when he heard that, "What do you mean? Could it be that you want to leave? I won't allow it! Without my permission, I won't allow you to leave!"

Ji Qinglan frowned and said, "You are the leader of Shengyue Sect, how can you act like a child. When I first came here, I made it clear that I just lived here and paid the rent on a monthly basis. You and I are just a host-guest relationship."

"Who will give you the host-guest relationship? Shengyue Sect is not poor, and they don't care about the money!" Sinha roared.

Ji Qinglan calmly wiped the saliva splashed on her face, and said calmly, "In that case, I will leave immediately."

"Don't leave, I said no!" Sinha walked back and forth several times angrily, and suddenly pointed at Duanmu Huichun and cursed, "You, idiot, why don't you pour tea?"

Duanmu Huichun secretly glanced at Ji Qinglan.

Ji Qinglan said nothing.

A Pei rushed up, pushed Duanmu Huichun away and poured a cup of tea, but instead of handing it to Xinha, put it beside the coffee table.

Sinha strode over, picked up the teacup, then sat down on the recliner next to Ji Qinglan, took a breath, and said in a low voice: "Don't go, I'll listen to you. Just don't go. I know you If you don’t like that gang giving someone to me, I won’t accept it. If you have anything, just tell me, when will I stop listening to you? You asked me to fight the Devil’s Cult, so why don’t I go too?”

Duanmu Huichun was startled.

The Shengyue Sect's confrontation with the Demon Sect was actually... Ji Qinglan's instigation?

Why is this?

Could it be for the account of the Blue Flame League?But the Devil's Cult joined the ranks of encircling and suppressing the Blue Flame League later, so the Brilliant Sect and Wudang were the culprits.Why not target them, but only target the Demon Cult?

Or, does he want to defeat each one?

His mood was fluctuating, and suddenly he felt that he was seriously injured and fell into a state of confusion. Maybe it was an opportunity arranged by heaven to let him solve this mystery single-handedly.

"I didn't do this for you?" Ji Qinglan's face softened slightly, "Fighting the Demon Cult is second, and it is of great benefit to you to cooperate with the Emperor of the Central Plains."

Sinha laughed and said, "I know you are doing it for my own good."

……

emperor?

Duanmu Huichun felt that the curtain had been lifted in half, and the answer was ready to come out.

Ji Qinglan said: "How are you going to prepare for those people?"

Sinha said: "I'll go back to them now!"

As he spoke, he was about to stand up, but Ji Qinglan stopped him and said, "No."

Sinha looked at him suspiciously.

Ji Qinglan said: "The Red Sect is the second largest gang in Xiqiang. Although its strength is not as good as that of the Shengyue Sect, it should not be underestimated. If you refuse him rashly, I'm afraid it will cause their dissatisfaction and make you unhappy."

Sinha scratched his head and said, "I don't quite understand."

Ji Qinglan smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to understand too much, just keep them here first, and let them go back when you find a chance later. Don't let the leader of the Red Sect lose face."

Sinha suddenly said: "Yes, I just listen to you."

Ji Qinglan looked at the teacup in his hand, "This is my freshly brewed Maojian, do you still want to drink it?"

Sinha hurriedly picked it up and drank it in one gulp, praising: "It's delicious."

Ji Qinglan smiled without saying a word.

Seeing that the two were talking happily, A Pei secretly pulled Duanmu Huichun out.

Duanmu Huichun said softly: "Would it be too rude for us to come out like this?"

Ape laughed and said, "What do you know? It would be rude to stay here!"

Duanmu Huichun originally wanted to inquire more about the conversation between the two, but hearing what she said, he had no choice but to give up.

Ape said, "Are you up for a while?"

Duanmu Huichun shook his head.He has not been here for a day, and although he is a book boy, he cannot stay in the study room, and there are very limited things he can do.

A Pei said: "If there is nothing else, accompany me to the pharmacy."

Duanmu Huichun's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, "The medicine room?"

A Pei said: "It's the master's medicine room. But you can only watch and can't move it. It's nothing if you damage the master's book. If you damage the master's medicine, the master will definitely kill you!"

Duanmu rejuvenation should be repeated.He thought of the bookboy Ji Miaohua mentioned earlier, and tentatively said, "I wonder if there are any other bookboys before me, my lord?"

A Pei's face froze, and he said, "Why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, I just want to meet them, and also to ask for advice on how to serve the young master well."

A Pei raised his hand and patted his shoulder gently, and said coquettishly: "Idiot, won't you ask me if you want to ask for advice? Who else knows how to serve a good son better than Ah Huan and I?"

Duanmu Huichun smiled and said: "That's different. You are not a book boy."

A Pei said: "Although I am not a book boy, when the young master can't find a book boy, A Pei and I will serve the young master to study."

Duanmu Huichun said: "Young master, why can't you find the book boy?"

"Ah, I said why do you have so many questions?" Ape pushed him, and then pointed to a small independent corridor, "This is the pharmacy. Remember, if I'm not with you, you Don't come here alone."

Duanmu Huichun asked: "Why?"

A Pei said: "Young master not only refines medicine, but also refines poison. If you are not careful, you will be infected."

Duanmu Huichun replied and followed behind her.

Before entering the building, A Pei took out a pair of deerskin gloves from his arms, and opened the door after putting them on.

Duanmu Huichun was surprised: "Is there poison on the door?"

A Pei said: "This is natural. There are many precious medicinal materials hidden in the medicine room. If one or the other is missing, the young master will be very distressed."

Duanmu Huichun said: "This is Shengyue Sect, who can break in?"

A Pei snorted coldly: "They are the ones to guard against."

Hearing what she said, Duanmu Huichun was really surprised.Unexpectedly, Ji Qinglan and Xinha acted as one in the study just now, but in a blink of an eye, they were secretly on guard?

There are only a few ordinary tables and chairs on the first floor.There are several cans on the table, soaked in medicinal wine.

Duanmu Huichun took a cursory glance, and recognized two of them as the poisonous water used by the Blue Flame League to soak weapons. It was only after his father deciphered it that everyone had the antidote, so they stopped using it.

Ape walked up the stairs, "Be careful, don't step on the white stairs."

Only then did Duanmu Huichun realize that the stairs had been painted, both red and white.

A Pei proudly said: "I can see clearly during the day, but I can't see it at night."

Duanmu Huichun was secretly pleasantly surprised, and silently wrote down the white stairs.

When we reached the second floor, we could smell a very strong smell of herbs.There are more than a dozen wooden boxes on the far left of the second floor, and rows of wooden shelves on the right, on which various herbs are displayed.

A Pei said: "You wait for me." She said, holding a big bamboo basket, took herbs from the wooden shelf and poured them in until it was full, then said to Duanmu Huichun, "Let's go."

Duanmu Huichun followed her upstairs.

"Don't step on red here." Ape said.

Duanmu rejuvenated and lowered his head to remember the location of the red staircase.

When we reached the third floor, we saw a door and a big lock.

A Pei said: "This is the place where the young master refines medicine, even we are not allowed to enter."

Duanmu Huichun couldn't help but take a few more glances.Although this lock is big, it is not impossible to open, it is probably a mechanism hidden in the alchemy room.With Ji Qinglan's mind, I'm afraid the mechanism behind this door is even more difficult to guard against.

The fourth floor has only half of the roof.

A Pei dried the medicinal materials on a wooden shelf without a roof, and then said to Duanmu Huichun, "Let's go."

Duanmu Huichun nodded and was about to leave when his eyes suddenly caught sight of two sneaky figures outside the wall of the small building, and he asked in surprise, "Who is that?"

Hearing the reputation, A Pei looked over, frowned and said: "The clothes don't look like people from the sect. Wait." She stuffed the basket into Duanmu Huichun's arms, and rushed downstairs.

Duanmu Huichun followed immediately.

A Pei performed lightness kung fu and ran extremely fast, and when Duanmu Huichun chased them out, she had already knocked those two people down to the ground.

"Tell me, who are you!" She held a man by the collar in one hand and forced them against the wall.

The two of them began to cry, and they could only call for help.

A Pei said: "If you don't tell me, I will take you to refine medicine. Anyway, people like you who sneak around other people's houses are thieves even if they are not secret agents!"

Duanmu Huichun was about to smooth things over, but he stopped talking after hearing her say that.

"Help!" one of them suddenly shouted sharply.

"Girl, be merciful!" In the distance, an old man shouted anxiously while running over panting.

Seeing the person coming, Duanmu Huichun's heart trembled violently.
