It was cold back then

The next day, it rained heavily.

The world is filled with noisy rain, and the ears are full of noise, and the noisy people are upset.

After returning to the village yesterday, Qisang could hardly sleep the whole night, the day was gone forever, and the night was coming again.

She just lay in bed all day without eating or drinking.

No one greets, and no one cares, it seems to be forgotten by everyone, and there is an unresolved melancholy in my heart.

There were heavy sighs in the room for a long time.

His eyes moved to the palm of his hand, where a snow-white silver chain lay, and the red crystal at the end was emitting a dazzling dim light.

Things are as they are, very beautiful, but also difficult to see through.

Suddenly there were a few knocks on the door amidst the noisy noise.

Seeing a figure standing outside the door, Qisang sat up wearily and asked, "Who?"

"Girl, open the door. Disciple Jiang Xuan, the young master asked me to bring you some food."

After lying down for a long time, feeling dizzy, Qisang slowly got dressed, walked to the door and opened it.

In summer, it gets dark late, maybe because of the rain, the outside is already dark and gloomy, looking inexplicably depressing.

Jiang Xuan handed her the food box in his hand, and said with a smile: "I won't enter the girl's room, the young master asked you to go and find him after eating."

Qisang took the food box and nodded, "Understood, thank you."

Jiang Xuan sized her up for a while, and asked, "Young lady looks haggard, but do you have something on your mind?"

Qi Sang said, "Probably because I didn't sleep well."

"There were thieves in the village last night, girl, be careful," Jiang Xuan cared, "The owner of the villa is probably going to leave the customs soon, and the owner of the village will handle the defense deployment plan."

Qi Sang nodded: "I know."

Jiang Xuan asked again: "I heard that the picture that the girl gave the thief last night was fake, so where did you put it?"

Qi Sang raised her eyes and looked at him: "Why are you asking this?"

Sensing her sudden hostility, Jiang Xuan hurriedly waved his hands: "Miss misunderstood, I am just worried about the safety of the girl, such important items should be handed over to the small owner or the young landlord for safekeeping, in case the thief does not die Heart, sneak back to attack the girl again, the girl can't guard against it if she doesn't know kung fu, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"

Qi Sang paused: "It's already given to my sister, it's okay."

Jiang Xuan responded: "The girl is free, Jiang Xuan has other things to do, so I will leave."

"Walk slowly."

After eating, he felt much more comfortable, but his mood was still gloomy. After a while, Qi Sang avoided seeing and finding Pei Lu.

In the corner of the promenade, the two of them hid in the dark with their breath hidden, and the rain continued unabated.

"Did you tell about the fake picture?"

Pei Lu said: "I told her when I visited Shu Shu, what's the matter?"

Qi Sang frowned: "No one has caught her yet, the less people know the better, why did you tell her?"

"This... Shu Shu is one of my own, why can't I say it? Besides, since she asked, I can't hide it on purpose."

"Then she told Jiang Xuan in a blink of an eye, and I guess Jiang Xuan will tell others too, so they all know?"

"I understand what you're worried about, but the thief will find out that the picture you gave him is fake when he leaves last night. It doesn't really matter whether this matter is kept secret or not, so let's relax."

Qi Sang said solemnly: "It's really not that important to say it, I'm just afraid that he might not come after suffering a loss."

Pei Lu analyzed: "Probably not. Since he is willing to show up, it means he values ​​that thing very much. If I were replaced by him, the more disadvantaged he would be, the more he would have to get the real thing, otherwise it would be a waste of effort." After finishing speaking, he asked again, "So why do you think he will come to Chuhan's room?"

The place where the two of them were hiding at the moment was Yue Chuhan's private courtyard, and a slightly dim candlelight was burning in the room not far away.

"Because I wrote a few words on the letter paper I gave him."

"What word?"

"The real picture is hidden in Yuechu Hanfang."

When Pei Lu heard this, he became unsure again: "Will he come for such an obvious trap?"

Qi Sang said: "If he really thinks as you said just now, he should come, but I'm not too sure, so I can only wait and see."

The night was dim, the rain was gray, and there were lanterns hanging everywhere in the village, so the visibility was not low.

After waiting for a long time, they didn't notice anyone approaching, both of them were unavoidably anxious, but after seeing a cup of tea, suddenly a figure slowly approached from the rain, pushed open the door of Yue Chuhan's room very naturally, and walked in .

Seeing the person coming, Qi Sang asked in confusion, "Jiang Xuan?"

Pei Lu observed: "With a food box in his hand, he should have brought food to Chu Han."

Qi Sang looked at him: "Isn't it retreat?"

Pei Lu replied: "Do you have to eat in seclusion? It's not about cultivating immortality. How can you stay at home without eating or drinking for more than ten days?"

Although he said so, Qisang was still a little suspicious when recalling the conversation with Jiang Xuan earlier.

Even though Liu Shushu was injured last night, she still hadn't completely dispelled her suspicion. Now everyone in Biyun Villa can be the object of suspicion, and the only person she can trust is Pei Lu.

"After he comes out in a while, search his body."

Pei Lu whispered: "You doubt Jiang Xuan?"

Qi Sang said: "At present, anyone who has entered my sister's room is suspected. It is not wrong to be cautious, and that person must have been lying in ambush for a long time in the manor. I guess he will definitely have help. Maybe tonight Won't come in person."

Pei Lu was quiet for a long time, and then he seemed to recall: "So last night, you were not only trying to lure that person out, but also trying to test me and Shu Shu, who is the traitor?"

Qi Sang admitted: "Yes."

"No wonder you blamed Shu Shu like that when you saw Shu Shu was injured," Pei Lu suddenly said, "How could you doubt us?"

Qi Sang said: "I said before that, being able to know about the siege and being able to tamper with letters, no one else has this qualification except the three of you and Miss Zhao, my sister can ignore it, and the rest It's all possible, I can't confirm your innocence without testing."

Suspicions arose because of the strangeness of the matter, so I set up this plan to test who was behind the scenes, and temporarily fabricated an unwarranted defense deployment plan, which really forced that person to show up, and sent Pei Lu and Liu Shushu Tried it at the same time, it is indeed a good strategy.

Pei Lufa admired from the bottom of his heart: "Sister Qisang, brother really looks at you differently."

In the cold wind and rain, there was suddenly an inaudible sigh.

Qisang looked at the thick night, and said softly, "I just don't want to be kept in the dark anymore," she said, "I don't want to be cheated, and I don't want to be used anymore. Only by solving these mysteries, can I have a chance." To be a human being freely and unrestrainedly, rather than being a pawn in the palm of someone's hands, or a victim."

Different from the confidence she showed when she first showed her sharpness last night, she suddenly became very melancholy now, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were much more complicated than before, and she seemed a little lonely for no reason.

Pei Lu looked at her, and said softly: "I really wronged you. It's really unfair for you, a little girl, to bear all these grievances and grievances. It's not fair for you to be deceived by Meng Qing. I can take good care of you, but don’t worry, sister Qisang, Biyun Villa is your home, if you want, Qianyinglou can also be your home, okay?"

The soft words warmed the heart, and Qisang was moved.

Since time travel, few people have really treated her well, except for Yue Chuhan who is Pei Lu, Mr. Pianpian is gentle and meticulous, caring and loving her as much as his own brother, which is really rare.

Qi Sang smiled: "Of course, why not pick up a cheap brother for nothing?" She paused, but her heart was moved when he heard that Qianyinglou was mentioned, and she asked calmly, "Is Qianyinglou in? which place?"

Pei Lu patted her head: "Jiuyanguan, when you are free, brother will take you there to play, you liked it very much when you were young."

It was obviously a friendly gossip, but as soon as he said this, both of them fell silent again by coincidence.

Suspected of murdering Yue Changfeng, if this matter is not clear for a day, Qi Sang will be a suspect for a day, if Yue Chuhan restores her memory with Fengshenjue, and finds out that Yue Changfeng was really killed by her, then where did it come from? How about taking her to play in Qianying Studio?

I'm afraid that by then, her fate will no longer be controlled by anyone.

The world is impermanent, Pei Lu sighed in his heart, showing his unbearable face.

Qi Sang quickly recovered her mood and continued to ask: "It's been so long, I haven't seen your father yet."

"The old man?" Pei Lu thought for a while, "The old man has always been elusive. Even I haven't seen him for a long time. It's been so long since I crossed the customs last time, and I haven't even sent a letter. But you also Even if you remind me, I'd better write a letter to the old man tomorrow to say hello, lest I have to scold my brother for being unfilial when I go back to Qianying Studio in the future."

Qi Sang said calmly: "There are so many things in the village, why don't you invite him over? What if he can help?"

Pei Lu shook his head: "It's good if you can move. Unless Chuhan speaks, it's rare for the old man to show up." After speaking, he smiled again, "Why, do you really want to see my father?"

Qisang was silent for a moment, not wanting to lie: "Actually, I need to ask him for help with something."

"Ask him for help?" Pei Lu was surprised, "What's the matter?"

Qi Sang said: "I don't want to say it yet, I can only ask your father before I consider whether I should tell you or not. This matter is very important to me. If there is a chance, please arrange for me to meet you." Father, can you?"

Pei Lu guessed: "But Meng Qing lied to you, and my father is an insider, do you want to find out?"

He has a shrewd mind and quick reflexes, it's normal to be able to guess, Qi Sang nodded: "Yes."

Pei Lu breathed out: "It's really a crime... Anyway, I will keep this in my heart."

"Thank you then."

"Between brothers and sisters, why are you being polite?"

While talking, they heard a "squeak" sound from the sound of rain, and the two cautiously probed their heads to watch. They saw Jiang Xuanxing going out, opened the oil-paper umbrella that was placed at the door before, and walked back quickly. in the rain.

Even though it was a rainy night, he could clearly see that he was obviously flustered after he went out, his eyes were looking left and right, his empty hand was pressing his chest intentionally or unintentionally, and he clearly walked away when he came earlier. He was not in a hurry, but he was walking like flying when he left. This behavior naturally aroused suspicion among the two who were secretly observing.

Pei Lu's face turned cold in an instant: "After going in for so long, and coming out with a guilty look, this kid is a little tender after all."

Qi Sang was very surprised: "How could it be him?" She had guessed everyone, but she just missed this one.

"Whether it's him or not, this kid is weird," Pei Lu said, "Let's go, we'll find out once we find out."

Instructing the hidden disciples behind him to keep watching the movement, the two quickly chased after them around the corridor.

Following all the way to the disciple's courtyard, Jiang Xuan looked around unintentionally, then opened the door and walked in.

Quietly hiding outside the window, Pei Lu stretched out his finger and poked two small holes in the window paper, but seeing that the people inside seemed to be in a hurry, he reached out and took out a letter from his pocket before he could sit down.

Seeing the letter, Pei Lu frowned and said, "What did he really get, and where did he get it?"

Qi Sang whispered, "I played it last night."

Pei Lu was surprised: "You?"

Qi Sang nodded: "In the middle of the night."

Last night, after Lan Xin sent her back, Qi Sang was in the room thinking about her next strategy, then took advantage of the darkness to quietly find Yue Chuhan's room, deliberately opened the back window and put a letter in.

Yue Chuhan retreated and studied, her five senses were sealed, so she couldn't detect her actions.

Pei Lu praised: "You still have the heart."

After he finished speaking, he quickly kicked open the window door and turned over, and without saying a word, captured Jiang Xuan who looked shocked.

"Good boy, I finally caught you!"

Suddenly being caught, Jiang Xuan was shocked, and hurriedly stuffed the letter back into his arms.

The two began to wrestle in this small room, but how could he be Pei Lu's opponent?But after a few moves, he was firmly held by Pei Lu, and he couldn't move even a little bit.

Qi Sang followed closely, and when she saw this, she shouted: "What is hiding in your arms!"

Jiang Xuan was terrified and said in a panic, "No, it's nothing."

"Fake it!" Pei Lu touched his acupoints and took out the letter again, "It turned out to be you!"

Only then did Jiang Xuan understand what had happened.

His face turned pale, and he said stiffly: "Young master, young master, listen to me...it's not me!"

Pei Lu looked unfriendly: "It's not you? You stole this thing by sending food to Chuhan into her room, who is it if it's not you!"

If he hadn't read the fake letter, how would he have known that there would be something in Yue Chuhan's room?

Jiang Xuan argued: "I, I am entrusted by someone!"

"Entrustment?" Pei Lu turned his head, "Search his room."

Qisang immediately started to search in the room, and after a while, she pulled out a gray cloak from under the bed.

"Still sophistry!"

Jiang Xuan hurriedly said: "I did show up wearing this cloak last night, but the man in gray was not me, he instigated me to deliberately attract attention! Young master, I was forced to do nothing!"

Pei Lu said: "Okay, then tell me, who is that man!"

Jiang Xuan opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, he just said anxiously: "I can't say it, if I say it, I will definitely die!"

"What did he threaten you with?"

"He said that if I don't help him, he will kill my uncle, and then I will be killed." It is true that the housekeeper in the village is his uncle.

Pei Lu pondered and said: "At the moment there are only the three of us, you can say it with confidence, I will arrange a safe place for you and Steward Chang, but if you don't tell me, I can only blame you."

"Young Master..."

"Say it!"

Jiang Xuan hesitated for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let me say."

Pei Lu stared at him with burning eyes: "Who is it?"

Jiang Xuan moved his lips, but before he could make a sound, a very thin silver needle flew from nowhere and pierced directly between his eyebrows!

The name that was about to be uttered froze in his throat instantly, Jiang Xuan's expression froze, two lines of blood flowed out of his eyes, and he fell to the ground and died on the spot.

Pei Lu was startled, and quickly turned around, only to see that it was still raining heavily outside the house, and there was no one in sight amidst the raging wind.

The sudden situation was unexpected for both of them.

Pei Lu cursed angrily, and ordered: "You don't move here!"

After that, he plunged into the rain and searched around.

Never expecting that that person would kill someone to silence her at this time, Qisang was inevitably frightened. She moved her gaze to look at the dead Jiang Xuan on the ground, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

The young man's eyes were still wide open, his expression retained the astonishment just now, blood flowed from his eyes, covering his face, his appearance was terrifying.

It wasn't the first time she saw a dead person, but it was the first time in her life that she died directly in front of her at such a close distance.

She guessed it right, the man in gray refused to come back in person after suffering a loss once, so he threatened Jiang Xuan to do something for him, he must have been watching secretly, seeing Pei Lu pressuring him, Jiang Xuan wanted to confess, so he used a hidden weapon at the right time Killing, breaking the clue.

Now that his mouth has been silenced, that person should have left in time, but after this incident, he must know that it was Qisang's plan from the beginning to the end. Now that Jiang Xuan is dead, will he be overwhelmed? Resentment came back to attack her?

Qi Sang didn't dare to stay in the room, but she didn't dare to go out rashly, she only hoped that Pei Lu could catch that man and come back sooner.

Suspicious and uncertain, suddenly, a trace of coolness climbed up her back.

Looking back in surprise, she saw a cold long sword suddenly attacking her face.

The person who came was wearing a gray cloak, and approached quickly from the rain curtain, his killing intent was undoubtedly revealed, and the tip of the sword was radiant with cold light, making the person's hair stand on end.

Qi Sang screamed out almost subconsciously, but the man in gray moved too fast, and she had no time to defend herself. Although she wanted to dodge, she was still stabbed in the left shoulder by the man's sword.

The sharp point of the sword pierced the flesh and blood, and in an instant, a sharp pain that he had never experienced before spread, and Qi Sang, who was in pain, let out another scream.

Seeing this, the gray-clothed man snorted coldly, raised his hand and pulled back the long sword, and said ruthlessly: "I underestimated you girl, you are really not simple!"

Qi Sang lay on the ground, trembling, and shouted for help.

"Pei Lu!"

The urgent call was drowned in the noise of the rain, and no one could hear it.

The man in gray looked down at her from above: "Stop screaming, tonight is your death day!"

The pain became more and more intense, and Qisang's face suddenly became extremely pale, with cold sweat dripping from the corners of her forehead.

She backed away clutching her wound, panicking, "You, who are you?"

The man in gray sneered: "Of course he is the one who came to take your life." He grabbed Qisang's neck fiercely and said coldly, "If I knew this, I shouldn't have let you live in the first place, but now I use this method to kill you." I am a big deal, you court death!"

Qisang struggled: "Let go of me..."

"Let go of you?" The man in gray said, "At first I let you go because of Meng Qing's face. Now that I have turned against her, I don't have to worry about killing you anymore!"

The air became thinner, Qisang's face turned red, and her consciousness began to slacken.

But even so, she did not forget to ask: "Yue Changfeng... Did you kill him..."

Hearing this, the man in gray laughed softly.

He approached Qisang with a voice as cold as ice: "That's right, I killed you. You're already going to die. It's okay to tell you. You can take this scapegoat with you to the underworld. No one will ever know who I am. And after you die, you are still the murderer of Yue Changfeng, and if you are buried in the ground, you will be reviled by thousands of people, how about that? Isn't it interesting?"

The strength in his hands didn't decrease, but intensified instead, the man in gray gritted his teeth and said, "I've broken my affairs several times, Zijinguan was lost because of you, and with you, my plan for revenge will be thwarted, you trash, Go to hell!"

As soon as the words fell, he raised the long sword in his hand again and stabbed straight at Qisang's heart.

Sensing the raging killing intent, Pei Lu has not returned yet, and Qi Sang feels like falling into an ice cave, with unprecedented despair in her heart.

With the sword in hand, the tip of the sword, still dripping with blood, approached fiercely, but at the very moment, just when the long sword was about to poke into the heart, another long sword with silvery light suddenly broke through the window. , with an irresistible coldness, directly chopped off the sword in the gray-clothed man's hand!

The zhenqi was so powerful that it was hard to resist, this move cleverly hurt the man in gray but avoided Qisang.

The man in gray vomited out a mouthful of blood on the spot as his chest hurt from being shocked by that imposing manner, and fell heavily to the ground.

The next moment, a snow-white figure landed in front of the two of them.
