Gu Xiao didn't expect that Jiang Ningxue would see through his intentions in an instant. Just as he was about to explain, he heard Jiang Ningxue behind him say: "If you don't believe it, you can check it out."
She thought to herself that Jiang Ningxue's behavior just now didn't seem like she was lying. If she wasn't the murderer, then who could it be? She had visited the Chief Protector at night, and although she had managed to evade the guards easily, she couldn't wait to see her again. Gu Xiao couldn't do it at his own expense by sneaking into the prison of the Protectorate Division and killing someone without anyone noticing.
That's why Gu Xiao turned his suspicious eyes to Jiang Ningxue, who was temporarily staying in the Protectorate Division. Now Jiang Ningxue exposed his doubts. The excuse he had come up with at the moment was also seen through by this cold girl. Gu Xiao Xiao was in an awkward dilemma, so he had to say: "Miss Jiang, only a master of martial arts can handle this murder case... so..."
Jiang Ningxue looked at the young man scratching his head in embarrassment, and then remembered what he said about someone being killed in the Protectorate Division. She knew that he didn't break in with malicious intent, but after all, he saw himself...
Jiang Ningxue thought of the slightly scorching eyes of the young man just now, her face felt slightly hot, and she changed the topic.
"So, you doubt me."
"I've thought about it a lot, and you are the only one who can do this in the Imperial Guard Division..."
"Take me to have a look, maybe I can get some clues." Before Gu Xiao could finish speaking, Jiang Ningxue intercepted what Gu Xiao was about to say.
Gu Xiao thought about it, since Jiang Ningxue was a member of a well-known family in the world and was well-informed, maybe she could really find some clues, so he nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Jiang, come and have a look."
After saying this, she didn't hear Jiang Ningxue move. Just when she was curious, she heard Jiang Ningxue say lightly: "Let me put on my coat."
"I'll wait for you outside the door." Gu Xiao then remembered that after he broke in, Jiang Ningxue was still wearing middle clothes. Fortunately, she was also a child of the Jianghu. Otherwise, he would have been impulsive and broke into a woman's boudoir. She would have been a sword-wielding general. If you cut it yourself, it would be hard for others to say anything.
He hurriedly ran out of the house, and after waiting for a while, he saw Jiang Ningxue in white clothes and hat, pushing out the door with the magic weapon on his back, walking to his side, and said in the same cold tone: "Let's go. "
Gu Xiao secretly glanced at Jiang Ningxue and saw that she didn't seem to have any intention of killing him. Then he felt relieved and led Jiang Ningxue to the prison of the Chief Protector.
After carefully examining the wound on Liu Piaopiao's throat, Jiang Ningxue's cold eyes froze, and then she stood up and searched carefully in the three-foot-square cell.
Yan Bin on the side was stunned. Although it was the first time he saw Jiang Ningxue, even though the woman's face was covered with white gauze under her hat, it was this beauty that did not reveal her true face that made the Yun Film Director The commander's heart beat violently several times, and he stared blankly at the woman's back, in a daze.
Wan Jun was nearby. After staring at Jiang Ningxue for a moment, he looked at Gu Xiao with questioning eyes. When he saw the young man nodded slightly, he understood that the young man had checked the white-clothed woman from the Lingyun Sword Sect and eliminated her suspicion, and then he He opened his mouth and asked Jiang Ningxue: "What are you looking for, Miss? Maybe I can mobilize some people to help you search together."
Seeing General Wan speak, Yan Bin stepped forward and said, "What on earth are you looking for, girl? Before you came, the guards had searched the cell and found no hidden weapons."
Jiang Ningxue didn't seem to hear what the two of them said and didn't answer. She was still searching carefully in the prison. Just when Wan Jun, Yan Bin and others looked at each other, she saw Jiang Ningxue stopping at Liu Piaopiao's body. At the base of the wall next to it.
As if she had discovered something, Jiang Ningxue suddenly turned around and groped around Liu Piaopiao's body. Then she picked up something between her fingers, got up and came to Gu Xiao and others.
When Jiang Ningxue brought the object in her fingers closer, Gu Xiao and the other three could clearly see what was in Jiang Ningxue's hand. It was an unusual piece of hair, which glowed cyan under the light. , highlighting its difference from ordinary black hair.
Gu Xiao curiously approached the black hair in Jiang Ningxue's hand, as if she couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but secretly thought, this Miss Jiang is not fooling herself, it's just a hair.
Maybe she could see the doubts of Gu Xiao and the others. Jiang Ningxue glanced coldly and saw the single sword on Yan Bin's waist. In a flash, Yan Bin's cross sword was withdrawn by Jiang Ningxue with his backhand.
Yan Bin's attention just now was focused on Jiang Ningxue, but he didn't expect how fast she struck. Without checking for a moment, the long knife at his waist was taken away by the woman in white. Yan Bin's heart trembled, and he stepped out quickly, Yan Bin Quickly protecting Wan Jun, keeping his eyes fixed on Jiang Ningxue to prevent her from harming General Wan.
Only then did Jiang Ningxue realize that this young guard, who was similar to her own, was actually very skilled. She glanced at Yan Bin coldly, and Jiang Ningxue walked up to Yan Bin with a single sword in hand.
Yan Bin was on full alert when he suddenly saw the woman in white turning the long knife in her hand and handing the handle to him. With doubts and caution, Yan Bin took the single knife.
The moment Yan Bin took the sword, Jiang Ningxue moved, and her white jade hand waved in the air. The single sword in Yan Bin's hand made a crisp sound and immediately broke into two pieces.
Although the single sword hanging from Yan Bin's waist is not a magic weapon, it was specially made by the Emperor's Work Department for the Yunying Division. It is made of fine steel and is many times tougher than the weapons held by ordinary soldiers. Today, it is Under the wave of the black hair, he was cut into two pieces so easily.
No wonder the murder weapon had not been found before. Even Gu Xiao overestimated the infiltration of the human martial arts realm and cast suspicious eyes on Jiang Ningxue.
At this time, Yan Bin, Wan Jun, and Gu Xiao all stopped their contempt. They did not expect that this black hair, which seemed to be cut easily, had such power. Before they could recover from the shock, When he came to his senses, he heard Jiang Ningxue's cold voice echoing in the bone-chilling prison of the Chief Protector.
"In the Ling Jue Ranking, there was a weapon named: Green Silk Wrap. The Chongyang Pen once commented on it and named it: Hundreds of Steel Refining, Wrap the Fingers Softly, Green Silk Can Cut Off the World's Sorrows."
Gu Xiao's eyes widened. He didn't expect that there would be people in this world who used silk hair as weapons. He hurriedly asked: "Miss Jiang, is this weapon you are talking about the black hair in your hand?"
"good."
"Then where is the master of this technique now?"
Jiang Ningxue did not answer Gu Xiao, but shook her head slightly.
Gu Xiao did not give up. The bandit leader Liu Zhuang died under his black hair before he revealed any information about the person behind the scenes. He continued to ask: "Is he a boy or a girl?"
Seeing Jiang Ningxue still shaking her head slightly, the last clue was broken, Gu Xiao murmured: "What should we do?"
"There are no less than a hundred martial arts masters who have died under Qingsi Lao, and no one has seen the true face of the owner of Qingsi Lao, but..." Seeing the young man's eyebrows frowning, Jiang Ningxue's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly under the curtain, and she spoke. .
Seeing that Jiang Ningxue seemed to have remembered something, Gu Xiao hurriedly asked, "But what?"
"But I once heard someone in the sect mention that there was a person who escaped with his life after being wrapped in a black silk thread." Jiang Ningxue frowned and thought for a moment, and finally remembered what the elders in the sect had said about the black thread thread.
"Where is that person now?" Gu Xiao's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect that there would be another clue in a sudden turn of events.
"The reason why the masters in the world are afraid of the green silk rope is because no one has seen the face of the owner of this thing, so when he takes action, the other party must be unprepared. The green silk rope is difficult to detect, so it is very easy to succeed. Back then, he There was a man who was just starting out. He became famous for his skill with hidden weapons, and he also won the position of leader in the arena of He family in Zangbei. But after he learned that Qingsi was on the list of top leaders in China and was criticized by Mr. Chongyang, he released The bold statement is that I will challenge Qingsi Luo in the arena of the He family in Zangbeicheng." Jiang Ningxue didn't like to talk much at first, but it was obvious that the young man frowned and unconsciously told the young man the details of what he had heard from the elders of the sect.
As soon as Jiang Ningxue said these words, she saw that the young man did not ask any questions in a hurry. He still frowned and his starry eyes flashed, as if he was wandering in the sea, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jiang Ningxue was not wrong. Gu Xiao just listened to Jiang Ningxue's story about the rivers and lakes. He couldn't help but be in a trance. The girl in green clothes unconsciously appeared in his mind. She was quietly standing in the windy and snowy temple outside Liuzhuang. Sit quietly beside yourself, hold your chin and listen to yourself talk about the pretty appearance you encountered when you traveled around the world.
"I love hearing stories about rivers and lakes the most. Tell me quickly." The apricot eyes of the girl in green clothes flashed, and a smile appeared in Gu Xiao's mind. Gu Xiao was in a trance for a moment, staring straight at Jiang Ningxue was a little at a loss.
"Miss Jiang, what's next." Yan Bin listened halfway and saw that the woman in white stopped talking and stopped talking. Gu Xiao stared at the woman in white and quickly spoke to break the calm.
Yan Bin's words brought Gu Xiao out of his thoughts, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said to Jiang Ningxue: "Miss Jiang, what happened next."
"After this man released his arrogant words, in the past year, there were no traces of green threads in the world, and everyone gradually forgot about it. The next year, at the He family arena in Zangbeicheng on the Yuan Day Festival, this man served as the guardian of the arena. He defeated many challengers one after another. Just when he was feeling complacent, a strong wind suddenly blew up above the arena. Everyone hurriedly avoided the strong wind. After the strong wind passed, they saw this man's right arm, which was good at using hidden weapons, rising from his shoulder. Broken, the whole person knelt on the ring, staring at the ring in front of him in horror." Jiang Ningxue glanced at Gu Xiao with cold eyes and said.
"On the stage, the owner of Qingsi Luo appeared?" Gu Xiao and Yan Bin asked simultaneously.
Jiang Ningxue shook her head slightly and said: "Never, but on the stage, the owner of Qingsihuo wrote a line of blood with the blood of this person after his broken arm, 'Qingsi can break the sorrow of the world'. This was also the Double Ninth Festival later. The pen is specially used as a basis for his evaluation of Qingsi Lao."
Gu Xiao showed a look of surprise and murmured to himself: "In other words, as long as we find this person with a broken arm, we can also find clues about the black silk thread."
"Yes, I am afraid he is the only one in the world who has seen the owner of the black silk ribbon, and he is the only one who has survived under the black silk ribbon." Jiang Ningxue also agreed with Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao asked Jiang Ningxue: "This man has broken his arm. Doesn't his kung fu become useless? Where is he now?"
"This is the reason why the He family can attract so many people from all walks of life. After this person broke his arm, the He family did not expel him and still raised him. But over the years, no matter how many people asked him about Qingsi Wanzhi He kept silent about everything, and this is all I know." After Jiang Ningxue said this, she stopped talking and quietly waited for Gu Xiao to make up his own mind.
To find Lin'er, Uncle Li, Brother Tianya and others, we need to find a way to enter Murong Valley, as well as the clues entrusted by General Wan to find out the whereabouts of the assassin behind the scenes. Now it seems that the only way to go is where is Zangbeicheng? A visit to the home.
With his mind made up, Gu Xiao explained to Wan Jun, who had been silent for a long time, that he wanted to go to Zangbei first and then to Yanbei.
Later, Gu Xiao and Jiang Ningxue agreed to go to Zang Beicheng and his party first to search for clues about Murong Gu and Qingsi Luo.
