Still pity the grass and trees

Xie Wufeng took Ji Tanyin to Chunyi Building, and asked the old bustard about the residence of Ancuo and others.The old bustard didn't know whether he had received the money or was caught by the Xifan sect, and kept denying that he knew the "woman with the child".

Ji Tanyin was nice and nice, but the woman was entangled, Xie Wufeng was impatient, he put the Chensha sword on the other side's neck, and said: "That day I clearly ordered not to disturb, but the two of them can still enter the room, you Will you not know? Think about it before you talk."

The old bustard turned pale with fright, covered her mouth tremblingly, and murmured: "I heard that in Qingcheng Lane..."

The two hurried to the small courtyard that the bustard said, opened the door and saw that the building was empty.The Xifan sect has always been known for its secretive movements and vicious methods, and its anti-tracking skills are top-notch. Xie Wufeng touched the purple clay pot on the table with his fingertips, and it was still warm.

Ji Tanyin absently searched for clues in the room, always concerned about Li Chengyang's safety: "What are you looking for with Ancuo? The most important thing now is to rescue the elder brother."

Xie Wufeng said: "I suspect that it is not Zhai Yingshi who died."

"Really?" Ji Tanyin almost knocked over the bookshelf, and after frantically holding on to it, she felt a little ashamed of her spontaneous surprise.In any case, a girl died last night, even if it wasn't Zhai Yingshi, so he could help his brother get rid of the crime, he shouldn't be so excited.Thinking of this, he felt depressed again, leaning on the Chuntai and meditating: "Why do you say that?"

"The face of the corpse was scratched, which is not normal. Even if Li Chengyang loses his mind and cuts a few more knives on his body, it will not be so delicate that he will make the other person beyond recognition."

In all honesty, Ji Tanyin naturally believed in his brother's innocence, but outsiders may not be sure, especially Zhai Yu and his wife, in their eyes, Li Chengyang is an obscene thief who couldn't ask for it, and it is not impossible to destroy Zhai Yingshi's appearance in order to vent his anger .

Xie Wufeng said: "Yesterday afternoon, did Zhai Yingshi leave the mansion alone?"

"I don't know," Ji Tanyin was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

In the courtyard of Xuandaomen, Hua Yueying also asked the same question.

Zhai Yu stood with his hands behind his back. In front of him was a pine forest. The branches and leaves were covered with dust and some cobwebs were knotted there. The green was covered with a dry and dark yellow coat, which looked lifeless.The ginkgo leaves blown from nowhere fell scattered among the trees, embellishing the bleak autumn scenery.

Zhai Yu came back to his senses, and replied: "I asked someone to ask, she went out with Xin Ling, and that girl hasn't come back until now, I don't know if she was also killed, or she was afraid of being accused by me and hid."

Hua Yueying frowned: "Have you sent someone to look for it? This girl must know a lot about what happened yesterday, so she can be a witness."

Zhai Yu was exhausted physically and mentally, and his spirit was not good, and he spoke in a few words: "I'm looking for it, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Hua Yueying said: "I will send Zhu Yuege's disciples to look for it right away, Sect Master Zhai is relieved."

Zhai Yu raised his eyelids to look at her, and smiled politely at the corner of his slack mouth: "Thank you very much."

Hua Yueying took two steps, and suddenly remembered something, turned to Zhai Yu and asked, "Master Zhai, do you have a portrait? I don't know what kind of appearance this girl has."

"Oval face, almond-shaped eyes, and slender eyebrows," Zhai Yu lowered his voice, swallowing a few times in his throat, feeling sad, "he looks a lot like Shi'er, and the relationship between the two is good, like sisters .”

Hua Yueying's hands in her sleeves tightened suddenly: "Is it half or half like Shi'er?"

Ancuo and his party seemed to have evaporated, Xie Wufeng and Ji Tanyin couldn't track them down, so they had to go back to the Escort hand in hand.

The Dongkua courtyard was in a mess, and the flower garden trampled by horseshoes was still in a crumbling state. No one cleaned it up, and no one was held accountable.The news that Li Chengyang was captured by Zhai Yu spread all over Xiangyang City, the maids and servants were dumbfounded, they don't know martial arts, and they don't have any ideas, discussing together just adds to their worries.Guisan lay on a door panel covered with straw, and wanted to get up regardless of the injuries on his body, crying in pain: "Impossible, the young master admires Miss Di, how could he do such a thing that is inferior to a beast, it must be a mistake Already!"

The whole family refused to believe that Li Chengyang had killed someone.

"You just came back empty-handed?" Tan Fengxuan waited restlessly since she got the news, and when she saw Li Conning returning alone, she immediately questioned her husband.

Li Conning said: "His daughter just died, I can't snatch it up. What's more, the heads of the top ten sects are all present, so it's not good to act rashly."

"Then you should explain the matter clearly. Chengyang fell into their hands for no reason, what's the matter!" Tan Fengxuan walked back and forth in the room, a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes, "Don't you care about Chengyang's life or death? gone?"

"Of course not!" Li Conning was exhausted after a scene outside the Xuandao Gate. He went to the table and picked up the teapot. Chengyang will be put on public trial, when the time comes, right and wrong will be judged by oneself."

"Who knows if Zhai Yu will use torture!" Seeing her husband drooping eyelids and listless, Tan Fengxuan burst into an unknown anger, and said angrily, "You have a big heart, is it your son?"

"Fengxuan, what are you talking about!" Li Conning snapped, turned his head to meet a pair of red eyes, stopped hastily, took a breath, and said softly: "Hua Yueying is at the Xuandao Gate, and said to help us keep an eye on it. Chengyang will not be wronged."

Tan Fengxuan's face was blue, her cheeks were thin, and her thin lips were covered with white skin, which made her look haggard.With her husband's reassurance, her panic-stricken heart calmed down a little. Don't say anything at the beginning, but the look of sadness never fades away.

Li Cheng also took three steamed buns from the steamer in the kitchen, wrapped them in the front of his clothes, and trotted all the way to the east wing without knocking on the door. came back!"

Xie Wufeng and Ji Tanyin were sitting around the Eight Immortals' table, seeing Li Cheng's joyful appearance, they felt mixed feelings.Xie Wufeng smiled lightly: "It's rare today, to wake up so early?"

"I'm waiting for Big Brother's sugar figurine!" Li Cheng also took out his things as if offering a treasure, "Master, Brother Xiao Ji, I invite you to eat steamed stuffed buns!"

Xie Wufeng took it and handed one to Ji Tanyin.There were three people in a room, and Li Cheng was also holding the buns, eating them with great relish, while the other two were absent-minded and just chewing.After a simple breakfast, Li Cheng couldn't stay idle and begged Xie Wufeng to teach him swordsmanship.

Xie Wufeng said: "Let your mistress teach you, you two are about the same age, you can play together."

Ji Tanyin glared at him, and took Li Chengyi's little hand to the backyard.Xie Wufeng rested for a while, and went out of the house to look for safety measures.He is not familiar with Xiangyang City, and he is even less familiar with the style of work of the Xifan Sect. He has been busy for several hours, but still has not found the whereabouts of the other party.

But not for nothing.On the road, I met the disciples of Xuandaomen and Zhuyue Pavilion, all of them were in a hurry, Xie Wufeng was curious, and followed for a while, and found that they kept asking street vendors and shop assistants about a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.He originally had a guess in his mind, but now that he saw the other party acting like this, after thinking about it, he became more and more sure of what he thought.

Back at the Escort in the evening, Ji Tanyin stood waiting for him under the eaves, and asked anxiously, "How is it? Have you found Ancuo?"

"No," Xie Wufeng touched the top of the opponent's head, picked a withered yellow willow leaf from the hair, and asked, "Where's Cheng Yi?"

Ji Tanyin said: "He was tired from playing, and the elder brother didn't come back for a long time. He noticed something, so I clicked his sleeping point."

Xie Wufeng nodded, put his fingers into Ji Tanyin's sleeve, squeezed his palm, and said, "Go in and talk."

Ji Tanyin was led obediently by him, and hesitantly asked: "What you said this morning was about the fight between the snipe and the clam, did you say it to Sister Hua?"

Xie Wufeng moved closer and looked at Ji Tanyin carefully. Ji Tanyin pursed his lips slightly, showing no expression, and there were a few shallow wrinkles on the base of his nose.

"If I tell you that all of this is probably Hua Yueying's conspiracy, will you be sad?"

Ji Tanyin kept her ears up nervously. Hearing this sentence, her eyelashes trembled suddenly, and the corners of her mouth tightened, but that was all, and there was no other extreme reaction.He was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Of course I will be sad, because I regard her as my own sister, but... I have experienced many things in the past six months when I went down the mountain, and I already understand that everyone wears a mask , I was deceived, and I can only blame myself for being stupid, not others."

Xie Wufeng was distressed and explained: "I didn't mean to lie to you at that time."

"It doesn't matter, although you lied to me, you treat me well." Ji Tanyin stared at Xie Wufeng, his eyes were big and bright, black and white were distinct, like a drop of ink falling into the moonlight.

Xie Wufeng's heart was hot, and he even felt a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat pretending to be calm, but his voice was hoarse and dull.

"Xie Wufeng," Ji Tanyin called his name suddenly, solemnly, but with a hint of sadness.

"Regardless of whether Hua... the Master of Pavilion Hua is a descendant of Tangjiabao, or whether she planned the attack on various martial arts sects, I always feel that the ultimate goal is the Yushan Excalibur. First, the master was framed and disappeared. Then the senior brother became a murderer overnight, and now the second senior brother is far away in the Western Regions and has no communication, so I don't know if he has died, and then... maybe it will be me."

"Nonsense!" Xie Wufeng covered his mouth with great force, and Ji Tanyin fell backwards under the pressure, and suddenly hit the hard wooden cabinet, his back ached.

"No nonsense..." Ji Tanyin blinked aggrievedly, still defending, exhaled warm breath, brushing against Xie Wufeng's rough palm.

Xie Wufeng stared at him for a while, then relaxed the strength in his hands, and finally pinched Ji Tanyin's cheek.

"Don't worry," he promised, "with me here, no one can touch you."
