Embrace the blade

This sound was really like thunder on the ground, and the clouds of doubt in everyone present turned into a heavy rain of confusion.

Jiang Li raised his eyes to meet Wei Ke's sharpness, without any surprise.

Wei Ke also stared at him without hesitation, and said in his mouth: "May I ask Miss Zhaoyue, did you see him in the house last night?"

"I..." Zhaoyue looked at Jiang Li, then at Wei Ke, and finally lowered her eyes, "I was too confused at that time, so I didn't notice."

Wei Ke then continued: "After the junior got off the ring yesterday, I felt guilty and uneasy. I felt that I had lost my composure. I planned to go to the door to apologize. When I was finally free at night, I heard from my servant that he had returned to his residence in the West Courtyard. Then he brought the wound medicine and went there." After a pause, he pointedly said, "I didn't expect Jiang Shaoxia's room to light up the lights, but no one was there. I don't want to enter the door without authorization. I waited outside the house for several hours and still didn't see him. Seeing him, I had no choice but to leave with regret.”

Thinking of the scene he saw on the eaves last night, Qi Zhaoxi endured it, but at least he didn't laugh.This boy imitated his father's high-sounding appearance, and his words were impeccable, but seeing Wei Ke's menacing appearance last night, he went to the door to apologize, and it was true that he planned to drag Jiang Li into the alley and beat him to vent his anger.

After saying that, Wei Ke obediently retreated to his father's side, causing some commotion in the crowd.The two Young Masters of the Qingshan faction looked at each other, and it was Shen Zhiyan who spoke first, and turned to Jiang Li: "Jiang Shaoxia, can you tell us where you were last night?"

Jiang Li said, "It's not convenient."

"..." Shen Zhiyan was speechless.

Qi Zhaoxi finally couldn't hold back her laughter, but fortunately, it was overshadowed by everyone's discussion and no one paid attention.

Shen Shensi couldn't bear to push his second brother away: "Is there any inconvenience for you, can you tell me?"

Jiang Li paused for a moment, then said, "It's a private matter."

"Ha, private matter? Last night, someone died and lost his sword. No one in this villa has any private matters!"

It's a pity that the sparks splashed out of Shen Shensi's words were drowned in a pool of silence, and Jiang Li fell silent.

At this time, someone murmured: "He was so close to that little girl, even if he said it, would his words be trusted? What if they conspired together, one killed Cheng Juxian, and the other stole the sword?" ?”

Zhaoyue stared fiercely, and could see that although everyone had different expressions, each face was upright, and it was impossible to tell who opened the vicious mouth.

"Since it's hard for the apprentice to explain clearly, why don't you ask the master?" Meng Sifan suddenly suggested, turning his eyes.

This sentence is right next to the last sentence, so people have to think about it, since Jiang Li is suspected, how can Qi Zhaoxi clean up?

At this moment, Qi Zhaoxi was still sitting in the same place, and in the porch where the sun didn't even have time to catch a ray of sunlight just now, several scorching gazes gathered in an instant.

He smiled leisurely: "Why, a few words without evidence, are you going to suspect me?"

"Hey everyone, I was joking, I was joking!" Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Wei Min hurried out to smooth things over.Whether these people question Zhaoyue or Jiang Li, he can still stand by and watch, but if he really offends Qi Zhaoxi on his own territory, and the famous family will slap his ass and walk away, it will be difficult for him as the master .

It is really unreasonable to speculate out of thin air, and seeing Jiang Li's stubbornness in the ring before, I am afraid that he will not be able to pry his mouth away for a while.Shen Zhiyan gave him a wink, and saw that the eldest brother reluctantly nodded in displeasure, and said in a gentle tone: "The truth is unknown at the moment, everyone is in a normal mood, some anxiety is inevitable, please be more considerate to each other."

He smiled at Xue Le, "Zhiyan has met Daxia Xue a few times before, I believe his vision of making friends, and I am willing to believe that Daxia Qi is not a mediocre person. Shaoxia Jiang has no intention of answering, and no one can force him, but I hope Daxia Qi can do it during this time." Accompanying you every step of the way is not only to prove your innocence, but also to reassure everyone else, is that okay?"

Qi Zhaoxi nodded: "That's not a problem."

Then Shen Zhiyan looked at Zhaoyue and sighed: "Miss Zhaoyue, we don't intend to embarrass you. It's just that no one knows that Cheng Daxia will go to the forest last night except you, so I have to wrong you for a while. "

Zhaoyue kept a cold face and didn't answer, but she didn't resist any more.He gestured to the surrounding Qingshan sect disciples, and the two closest ones put away their swords and stepped forward to take her away.Shen Zhiyan bowed his hands to the remaining three people and left with them.

This group of people came and went quickly, the courtyard was suddenly empty, and the cicadas full of trees saw the excitement and neighed loudly.

Zhaoyue was taken to solitary house arrest.Food and drink are all in the room, and there are disciples guarding in front of the door, even the birds are scared to retreat, let alone people?

After some inquiring, I found out that at the same time Shen Shensi brought someone to take Zhaoyue, Miss Lin from Guangqin Sect led several female disciples to the west courtyard and searched Zhaoyue's house, but found nothing.

However, looking inside and outside the villa, Zhaoyue is still the most suspicious.She will not be free for a day without knowing the truth.

In addition, the people from Guiyun Villa will arrive soon.

Cheng Juxian died and lost his sword. According to the rules of the world, the three families should decide to deal with it together. After the incident, Shen Shensi immediately sent someone to send a letter to him.Guiyun Villa is located in Luoyang. I thought it would take at least half a month to wait, but who knows that there will be a reply later.According to the letter, the owner of Dao Shaozhuang happens to be in a nearby hotel, and he has already arrived after hearing the news.

When he was about to leave the hospital, Xue Le whispered to Qi Zhaoxi: "I heard that the young owner of Guiyun Villa is a young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old. Not long ago, Alliance Leader Jiang allowed him to practice in Jianghu."

He glanced at Jiang Li not far away: "Do you think so?"

"Why don't you come and make a bet?" Qi Zhaoxi said.

"sure."

"Then bet on a pot of good wine." Qi Zhaoxi patted him on the shoulder, sent him out the door, and turned back to the courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, twilight fell, Jiang Li was still standing under the dim light of a tree, meditating, saw him approaching, and planned to say goodbye, but Qi Zhaoxi asked first:

"Then do we two sleep here or in your room?"

Jiang Li's expression was blank for a moment.

Qi Zhaoxi was immediately amused, and thought that this little apprentice was really interesting, and asked in feigned surprise: "Why? The Second Young Master Shen asked me to keep an eye on you, did you not hear clearly, or—are you regretting it?"

Jiang Li looked at him silently.

"It's okay, you don't want to answer some things, Master doesn't blame you. But if you really regret it, it's not too late to go out and confess to him now." Qi Zhaoxi smiled, and pointed to the Qingshan School intimately direction.

After a while, I heard Jiang Li squeeze out a word from between his teeth: "...You are here."

Qi Zhaoxi smiled heartily, turned around and entered the house.

I don't know how Jiang Li feels when he sees the bed surrounded by golden embroidered curtains again.

Wei Min's preferential treatment to Qi Chaoxi can be seen from this. The wide bed and soft couch are more than enough for Jiang Li to roll on it, let alone one more person.

It's just that this little apprentice is not only not interested in rolling around, he doesn't even go near the bed.The night was already deep, and he was still sitting behind the desk as if he had taken root. The lamps and candles were flickering, but he remained motionless.

Qi Zhaoxi sat cross-legged on the bed and greeted lazily: "Young man, it's getting late, we should rest."

Jiang Li let out a "huh" when he heard the words, and put away the book, but he still didn't intend to get up from the chair.Qi Zhaoxi was about to urge him again, but saw him silently lying on the table, sleeping with his head resting on his elbows.

Qi Zhaoxi: "..."

Conscience, is he so unpopular?

The words swirled a few times in his throat, and finally turned into a sigh that made me laugh and cry. Qi Zhaoxi stretched out his long legs and lay down.

The moment he closed his eyes, the candle on the desk went out.

...the little things are quite sweet.he thought silently.

When the voice of the people fell silent, Wan Lai gradually became clearer.Even the sound of the breeze blowing was extraordinarily long, like a strand of silver thread leaking through the crack of the door, wrapping around his fingers.

Qi Zhaoxi opened his eyes in the darkness.

There was no one behind the desk.

He turned over and lay down, quietly opened the door and walked out, just as he saw a figure disappearing outside the courtyard wall.Qi Zhaoxi chuckled lightly, and jumped up to follow.

At this moment, the night was getting dark, and there were scattered lights all around. The figure was as light as a cloud covering the moon, flashing past suddenly.It is necessary to follow closely without alarming the other party, even Qi Zhaoxi had to spend a little effort.I saw the figure pass through the stone bridge courtyard, and suddenly turned a corner. He held his breath and pressed against the wall, looking over silently, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

There is an open space behind the corner.

There is such a bluestone clearing between the two courtyards, and beyond that is the towering outer wall of Juyi Village. There is no place to hide, but it leads to anywhere.

In the blink of an eye, people are lost.

Qi Zhaoxi was not entangled, anyway, she chased him out on a whim, and immediately decided to go back to her room and go back to sleep.However, the moment he stepped into the courtyard gate, he paused, and finally showed an intriguing expression.

The lights in the house are bright, and the light of the whole courtyard is harmoniously penetrated.

Jiang Li seemed to have just straightened up from the desk, and lit the candle brighter. When he saw him push the door in, he rarely opened his mouth first: "Master has something to go out late at night? I didn't see you when I woke up, and I still plan to go try to find."

Before Qi Zhaoxi could speak, he burst into a smile earlier, Jiang Li cast a glance from behind the candlelight, and no one averted his eyes.

"Ah," Qi Zhaoxi said casually, "was up all night. What's wrong?"

"..." Jiang Li simply looked away.

No matter what words he had prepared to wait, now he can only be blocked by this sentence.

Qi Zhaoxi lay back on the bed, Jiang Li turned off the lights again.

However, most of the drowsiness disappeared, and after tossing and turning, Qi Zhaoxi turned his head to look at the blurred silhouette of the boy sleeping at his desk in the darkness. He was so thin that he felt like a silent and sharp sword.
