Snow Chihiro

=====================

Wei Ba said that this Zhuangzi is too small to be too modest. This unknown manor is clearly very large, with long corridors and high eaves, with cloud patterns carved on the upper and lower sides, and the plants and trees are scattered and unique. It is obvious that the owner here is quite elegant.Xue Qianxun followed Wei Ba half a step behind, followed by two respectful servants, the two young men were young, but their feet were quite stable, their breathing was slow and long, obviously they also had good kung fu. body.While leisurely looking at the surrounding scenery, she asked, "I haven't asked the girl's name yet."

Wei Ba laughed and said, "I was originally a house slave, so why did Fang get her name. The family master's surname is not necessarily Wei, and it ranks eighth, which is naturally much worse than the unique name of Chief Xue."

"Weiba..." Xue Qianxun bit the two words lightly, but it was a code name, "Weizi is a rare surname, but this is the first time I've heard of it."

Wei Ba glanced back at her, and continued to lead the way: "The owner of the house also changed the surname himself. As for why he changed the name, he only said that everything is not necessarily the case."

There seems to be a lot of things missing behind these four words, and the word "not necessarily" represents too many possibilities. "Your lord is an interesting person."

"Is it interesting?" Wei Ba hooked the corners of his mouth, his eyes were bottomless, and said in a low voice: "That's not necessarily true." A person who has been a royal guard for more than ten years until he was the leader of the Feng Department, if he said it was interesting , then this evaluation is too interesting.

Turn around a long corridor, pass the arch, and come to a secluded courtyard.The courtyard was quiet, but there lived a person who was destined to be unable to stop. For example, two thick and long ropes were tied to a graceful tree, and half of the board was hung to make a clumsy swing.There was a man on the swing, the reason why he said there was a man was because the man was not sitting upright on it but was standing on a wooden board with one foot hooked on the rope, he was clearly swinging high but still looked Looking bored.As soon as Weiba saw her, he was helpless, and he didn't understand why the owner, who had always been calm and cold-hearted, was so tolerant of this woman.

Although this girl is a bit too lively, she has skills. When she heard the footsteps of several people, she turned over and jumped down. Seeing that it was Xue Qianxun, she first frowned with joy, and then pouted her lips in displeasure. , it was Su Yin.

When Xue Qianxun saw her here, she was relieved of her freedom of movement and apparently had nothing to do. This Zhuangzi was probably Dongfang Xi's influence, and it was their idea that she was attracted here. "What's wrong with Yin'er, changing faces faster than turning pages?"

Just as Su Yin was about to open his mouth, he glanced at Weiba and the others, swallowed the question after thinking about it, and asked Weiba: "When will Uncle Wei come?"

Wei Ba replied with a smile: "The owner has some matters for the time being, and his subordinates have asked someone to inform him. The matter between the master and Miss Su is important, and I will come soon after I think about it. Miss Su might as well stay in the hall later and discuss the matter with Director Xue first." Say it."

Su Yin said, "Didn't you tell Sister Xue on the way here?"

This girl is pure after all, with Xue Qianxun's temper, would she trust a stranger's words unsuspectingly?Wei Ba smiled and said nothing, Su Yin rubbed her head and explained to herself: "I think you are in too much haste, Sister Xue, come with me, we will talk as we walk." She said and grabbed Xue Qianxun's sleeve Walking side by side with her, Xue Qianxun glanced back, only to see that Wei Ba led someone to bow to Su Yin's back before leaving, obviously he knew her very well and respected her.

"You often come to this village?" Xue Qianxun asked casually.

Su Yin answered straightforwardly, "I have been here many times, and now this place is under the control of Sister Xi."

Now, not always, Xue Qianxun has discovered this detail, it seems that this is the power of the royal family and has been handed over to Dongfang Xi, "No wonder you look very familiar with this owner."

"Yes, Uncle Wei is a nice person. He is especially kind to me and Sister Xi." Su Yin stuck out her tongue. She is a playful, cute, innocent and kind person. It is not surprising that people like it.It's just that Xue Qianxun's behavior from then to now made her feel strange, she tilted her head and asked, "Sister Xue didn't ask me why I wanted to see you?"

"If you're looking for me, it's naturally something related to the Zuoshi and the Sun Moon God Sect." Xue Qianxun replied with a smile.

Su Yin was even more surprised when she heard the words, "Since Sister Xue knows, don't you worry?"

Xue Qianxun smiled softly, "I naturally believe that she will be fine." She disappeared for a year and only left a puddle of blood, and she believed that she would come back; She is looking for, so she guards, she is the most special existence in her life, so special and so powerful, of course nothing will happen.

Su Yin straightened her face when she heard the words, hesitated for a moment before saying: "I don't know if she is okay, but the sent people only found a few puddles of blood. Without her, there is no Ah... no Dongfangliang."

The matter had to start a few days ago, and Su Yin started talking about it from the day Dongfang Li sneaked into the palace. She knew that Xue Qianxun was someone Dongfang Li trusted, so she didn't hide it much, but just slightly concealed it. Regarding the entanglements between the brothers and sisters, the main talk is about Dongfang Li entering the palace to find a helper. After that, the two came to Qizhuang and sent people to steal Zhao's mother and daughter. "I came back early in Weiba. Although her martial arts are not good, she is good at changing her voice and shrinking her bones. Her five senses are also quite sensitive. I know that Brother Aliang... Dongfangliang's moves are indeed murderous." Su Yin After a pause, he said again: "Brother A Li told her to go first, and he stayed in the secret path to intercept Dongfang Liang, Wei Ba knew that his martial arts were much worse than those two, so he didn't hesitate. I went there, but found corpses everywhere in the willow garden, and there were only traces of fighting left in the secret passage, and there were no figures of the two of them."

Xue Qianxun frowned, "Who belonged to those corpses?"

"The Kuangyun Gang, the Sun Moon God Sect, and Jinyiwei, including two of my subordinates." It was not Su Yin who answered, but a gentle middle-aged male voice. Xue Qianxun looked back and saw a toga The man came striding forward, his face should have been perfect, but it was filled with several hideous scars. Seeing her turn around, the man paused and stopped for a moment before stepping into the hall.Xue Qianxun noticed something flashed in his eyes, but it didn't seem obsessed.

"I have seen the owner of Weizhuang."

"Mr. Xue, you are polite." Weiji bit the word "Xue" slightly, only lingered on the tip of his tongue, and then showed a natural smile, "Old Ba is young, but he is still a bit naughty. Don't be offended by Mr. Xue."

Su Yin was confused and didn't know what he was talking about, but Xue Qianxun smiled knowingly, "It's okay." It was about Dongfang Li, and she didn't have any intention of exchanging greetings, and said bluntly: "What happened last night, please let the owner know more about it." Syria."

Weiji nodded, her eyes rolled imperceptibly on her face, "Although Zuoshi and Weiba were in Liuyuan yesterday, I also sent two dexterous guards to watch them. He is a dexterous person, better at escaping his life, and unexpectedly died in the garden." He spoke slowly, as if discussing the weather today, "When I rushed, I saw the bodies of these three people, Jingxi Ruo On the ground, there are only a few on the beams, and the few members of the Kuangyun gang are among the helmsmen in the west of Beijing, most of them are bound, and the members of the Jinyiwei are hiding in secret places."

He didn't say much, but he pointed to the key point. Xue Qianxun heard the words and said: "According to the intention of the owner of Wei Zhuang, at that time, Jingxi Duo had already taken down the Kuangyun Gang, and Jin Yiwei wanted the Yellow Bird to follow, but these three forces were defeated. Is the fourth faction complete?"

"That's right. One of my two subordinates left a mark, but the fourth party is very delicate, and it has been destroyed, and only traces of man-made can be vaguely seen. Besides, your teacher Jingxi The rudder master died in the secret passage, died of... a knife wound."

knife wound?Xue Qianxun's mind flashed that black long knife, and that tall and thin man. She had seen that long knife unsheathed before. During the year when Dongfang Li disappeared, she and Dongfang Liang, Dongfang Xi cooperated with many things. On the bright side, she almost took over Dongfang Li's power in the Sun Moon God Sect, but secretly, Dongfang Liang controlled other people and had connections with Dongfang Xi Jinyiwei, but she never revealed it to the public. Before the sun and moon gods taught people.Now, he actually got in touch with the head of Jingxi... "Yin'er, did Zuo Envoy contact someone from the Sun Moon God Sect before going to Liuyuan?"

Su Yin tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "It seems not."

Xue Qianxun slightly lowered her head and thought in her mind, if Dongfang Li did not transfer the members of the Sun Moon God Sect, then either she gave Dongfang Liang the token to mobilize the congregation, or Dongfang Liang had a connection with Jingxi Tudor.Now that she has begun to suspect, the possibility of the former is unlikely, but if it is the latter, why did Dongfang Liang kill the Jingxi rudder again?Unless...the head of Jingxi is a member of Jinyiwei, while Dongfang Liang actually obeys the other side, that is, the fourth group of people.

Reminiscent of Jingxi Rudder's flawed account books, the poisonous prescription Dongfangliang brought back, and the sudden appearance of the fourth group of ruthless people, this conjecture can be basically confirmed.She froze in her mind for a moment, then raised her head to look at Weiji and said, "Vendor Master Haihan, just now the little girl is in a trance."

Weiji smiled gently when she heard the words, "Mr. Xue must have thought of something. If you have an order, you might as well speak up." His eyes always swept across her face vaguely, and now the conversation is even more detailed. Her demeanor was a little obvious, and with Xue Qianxun's sensitivity, she naturally noticed it, but she pretended not to know, "Qianxun really wants to ask the owner of the villa for help, please take me to Liuyuan to have a look. Besides, if you get the left envoy and the fourth I hope the proprietor will tell you the news of the batch of people."

"Liuyuan is now under the control of Jinyiwei. They have lost a lot of people there, but they belong to the imperial guard. Although they are bright and dark, they are still the same. I will ask the commander to accommodate. As for this news, Director Xue can rest assured." Wei Ji readily agreed, but Su Yin gave him a surprised look. When did Uncle Wei talk so easily to others?Weiji pondered for a while, and then asked, "I don't know what Director Xue's plan is?" This question is actually a bit over the top, but he has always expressed goodwill, and Xue Qianxun is inconvenient to answer, "Something happened to the master of Jingxi. , and lost a lot of good players, I'm afraid there will be no leader, I have to go and see." It is important to find Dongfang Li, but she can't make this matter public, she can only entrust it to others, and she has to go for it. She guards one side of the foundation, wins over people's hearts, and stabilizes the morale of the army.

Weiji heard the words: "I don't know if the fourth group of people are here to deal with your teacher, I'm afraid it's not safe for Director Xue to go there..." He intentionally left Xue Qianxun here.

Xue Qianxun politely refused: "If it is really aimed at me, I need to be at the helm. Thank you for your concern." She said jokingly: "Thanks to the reminder from the owner, I have to take my big man as a follower." Give me back, even though I'm a bit stupid, I'm still good at fighting bravely."

Weiji also smiled, "Since Manager Xue insists, I won't be able to force you to stay, please come with me." He said and made a gesture of invitation, but it was very free and easy, which made people admire.

Seeing this, Su Yin quickly grabbed Xue Qianxun, and said to Weiji, "I'll help Sister Xue."

Weiji pretended to be disappointed, "Could it be that Yin'er dislikes Uncle Wei?"

"Where is there?" Su Yin blinked her big eyes with a pitiful look, "It's because Yin'er hasn't seen Sister Xue for a long time."

"Never mind, come on, please, both of you."

Xue Qianxun saluted and followed, "Thank you, owner."

Weiji walked in front, his steps were not big, and his speed was slow, like a great Confucian taking a walk after a meal, he asked casually, "Is Director Xue from Yangzhou?"

Xue Qianxun raised her eyebrows, and she became even more puzzled. The owner of Wei Zhuang seemed to be very interested in him, but his appearance and personality were definitely not a dirty person. Why?It is easy to check her resume in those years, so she has no intention of concealing it, and said openly and honestly: "The early years were rough, she was sold to the Yangzhou Zhaixing Building, and then she met the Zuo envoy, and she was reborn."

Weiji also knew about this, he couldn't help but look back at her expression, but he saw a faint smile, as if he didn't care, but this appearance often makes people feel more depressed, especially when such an experience hangs on such a picture. She has a face that is four or five points similar to hers.He turned his head and comforted him: "Those who abandon me, you can't keep yesterday's day. Director Xue doesn't have to take it to heart. I don't know where Director Xue came from before he went to Yangzhou?" , It is inevitable that the clue will be broken.

Xue Qianxun thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I was young at that time, so I don't remember clearly." How could she not remember clearly?Those faces, the gentle ones and the cold ones, the kind ones, the ugly ones, the upright ones and the obscene ones, the raging fire, and the flying snow all over the sky, have all been deeply engraved in his bones.It's just that the past is gone, she hasn't even grasped the present, so why bother to dig through those old accounts?This is not tolerance and forgiveness, but rationality in the face of reality.It’s just that you have to tell a lie, and she added: “I just remember that there was snow, and I traveled on that road for a long time. It’s been a long time, and I can’t remember it. Anyway, there is nothing to remember.”

That is the north, Weiji thought to himself, he was slightly disappointed, but his smile did not fade, "Mr. Xue is right, forgetting is the happiest thing in the world."
