29 How can you just sit by and watch when something happens to your friend?
When their eyes met, Yun Zhi felt inexplicably panicked.
I don’t know how long this person has been standing here. I don’t know if he heard their conversation, and how much did he hear? He is a familiar person to both the Lu family brothers and sisters. Will he start to have doubts? Will you ask Lu Shenjun for confirmation?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Yunzhi's head.
Finally, she calmed down, tried her best to smile, and greeted him calmly, "Xiao Yi, why are you here?"
Xiao Yi smiled faintly and replied: "Come and see how your eldest sister is doing?"
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about his expression, Yun Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "She was probably frightened by that girl Zheng Ying and had a fever, but Ayu had just made some antipyretic medicine for her to take."
Xiao Yi hummed and didn't say he wanted to go in. He just leaned on the door frame and looked at her with a calm tone, "That's good."
Just when Yun Zhi passed by him and handed the water basin in his hand to the maid of the Villa who was waiting in the corridor, A Yu suddenly chased after him, with the same curious look and tone just now, "Zhi Zhi, that teacher of yours" What does brother do now?"
Yun Zhi subconsciously looked up at Xiao Yi.
He was staring at her closely, his eyes full of curiosity and inquiry.
Yunzhi quickly looked away.
Passing the things in her hand to the maid, she turned around and smiled at Ayu: "I'm just talking nonsense. I'm just teasing you. Where can I be a master and brother? I've never been out of Duke Anguo's mansion."
Ayu's eyes gradually widened and her cheeks bulged. After a while, she showed a disappointed expression, "What? What you said was so impressive, I thought it was true!"
Yun Zhi chuckled, "I saw it all from the story book!"
Ayu snorted, turned around and went into the room to continue taking care of the patient.
Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
At this moment, she heard Xiao Yi ask in a low voice: "Which story book did you read it from?"
Yun Zhi's scalp tightened, and he turned to smile at him: "Secret!"
"Secrets." Xiao Yi sighed and repeated in a faint tone, "Well... you really have a lot of secrets."
Yunzhi looked matter-of-fact, "You didn't say it yourself, everyone has things they don't want others to know!"
As she said that, she moved closer to him, a sly look flashed in her eyes, "You must have a lot of secrets, right?"
Xiao Yi's eyebrows jumped and he began to look at the sky and the earth.
Yunzhi stood up straight, looked into his eyes, and asked seriously: "I won't ask you, and you won't ask me. Isn't this the agreement between us?"
A trace of extremely obvious regret flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, but he finally nodded, "Yes."
Yun Zhi laughed, suddenly frowned, and sneezed heavily.
It was windy in late autumn. She had been busy in the house for a long time and had sweated a lot. When the wind suddenly blew, she felt chilly.
Xiao Yi's fingers had already landed on her outer shirt, but before she could make the next move, she saw her lift up her collar and sneak back into the room in two steps.
He held his coat with his fingers and stayed awkwardly for a moment, coughed as if nothing had happened, turned around and left.
Not long after, Feng Jiangui, the master of the White Tiger Hall, personally brought a pile of thick clothes and bedding over.
Yun Zhi thought he was worried about Lu Yunsheng's health, and sighed with A Yu, saying that he didn't expect Xiao Yi to be a philistine and know how to please His Highness the Crown Prince.
Ayu didn't see the two of them outside the door just now. He murmured in his heart and wanted to say "Love the house and the bird", but he was afraid that Yun Zhi was overly concerned, so he only agreed with her.
Near dusk, Lu Yunsheng's fever finally subsided and he woke up, looking much more energetic.
Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been thinking about her sister Yun Jing's affairs. Seeing that Lu Yunsheng was fine, she went out to find Xiao Rufeng. After an afternoon, she estimated that the people in Yaowang Valley had also left.
The backyard of the villa was very quiet. I passed several courtyards one after another, but there was not even a soul in sight.
In Xiao Yi and Pei Shun's yard, there weren't even any lights on.
Yun Zhi secretly felt strange and couldn't help but speed up and walk towards Xiao Rufeng's yard.
It was still empty.
Yun Zhi was secretly alert in her heart. Only when she walked to the square in the middle of the villa did she know where the people in the villa had gone.
In the venue where the sword appreciation meeting was held a few days ago, a large group of people gathered, all dressed in white and holding swords. They were the disciples who could be seen everywhere in the villa on weekdays.
Xiao Yi was standing on the highest stage in front with his hands behind his back, his face still covered with the red bird pattern mask. Qu Shaochen stood beside him, with a cloak on his arm. Both of them had no expression on their faces. There were five or six people from Yaowang Valley standing beside them. The leader was the Cheng Wuji whom they had met in Ming'an City at noon. The others looked familiar and seemed to have been met at noon. Those few.
When Yun Zhi arrived, he heard Qu Shaochen telling the disciples to line up in groups of ten and go on stage one by one to identify the Yaowang Valley disciples.
The disciples of Qingyi Villa did not hesitate or question at all. They all looked serious and quickly lined up to wait on stage. They all looked calm, as if they were vying to clear their sect's suspicion.
Yun Zhi couldn't help but widen his eyes. At first glance, he saw that there were at least a thousand people. When did he realize that he was going there? What's more, it's getting dark soon!
She was surprised when she saw Xiao Yi walking towards her, still holding the cloak that had just been placed on Qu Shaochen's arms.
"Why are you here too?" Xiao Yi said, wrapping the cloak in his hand around her body, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, then he glanced away, coughed slightly, and said: "It's cold, don't go out too much Wear something.”
Yun Zhi groaned, and seeing that his expression was a little strange and he kept coughing, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Are you sick too?"
As he said that, he quickly took off his cloak and covered his chest, and then said: "I see that you are wearing thinner clothes than me, but don't let you freeze. My uncle will blame me then."
Xiao Yi blinked, "Uncle?"
"Your uncle." Yun Zhi was worried that the cloak would fall off, but still pressed his hand on his chest, and explained: "He said that we are your friends, so the owner of Xiao Village is too outspoken."
"I'm not cold." Xiao Yi raised his hand to take the cloak, put it back on her body, and then began to answer her words, "It's true."
Yun Zhi glanced at him suspiciously, then suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his hand.
Xiao Yi's body suddenly froze, and his eyes instantly became shocked.
She suddenly let go of her hand again, and her expression became surprised, "You're really not cold!"
Wearing so little, your hands are still warm, you have a really good physique!
He bent his fingers slightly, quickly hid his hands back in his sleeves, hummed slightly, and glanced unnaturally into the distance.
The setting sun shone brightly on him, making his ears and cheeks under the mask blush.
Yunzhi's attention has been attracted by the disciples who came to the stage in groups in front of her. She didn't notice anything strange about him. She only asked in surprise: "You really asked them to identify each one like this? When will they be recognized?" ?”
Xiao Yi coughed again and replied: "Just find something for them to do first to prevent them from causing trouble."
Yun Zhi instantly understood what he meant, "How do you know the murderer is definitely not among these people?"
Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "The Ming'an Santang of Qingyi Villa never uses concealed weapons. This is one. Secondly, the disciples of Qingyi Villa are not so stupid that they can be caught so easily when they commit a crime. The other is Thirdly, Qingyi Villa and Yaowang Valley both belong to the Martial Arts Alliance, and my uncle is the leader of the alliance, so which disciple would look for trouble for his family?"
"That's not necessarily true!" Yunzhi put forward his own idea, "With so many disciples, what if any disciple doesn't like my uncle, or doesn't have a good relationship with other people in the village, and deliberately seeks trouble?"
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "So, it is even more important for the people in Yaowang Valley to recognize each other."
Yun Zhi understood again, "Oh, you actually want to see if anyone messes up, right?" After a slight pause, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly, "I thought you trusted these disciples so much!"
Xiao Yi said innocently: "People's hearts are unpredictable."
Yun Zhi sighed, "Master Xiao, you don't need to be suspicious of people you use!"
Xiao Yi glanced at her in surprise, and the corners of his lips curved, "Thanks for the reminder."
"That's right!" Yunzhi suddenly asked, "Where is Mr. Pei? Isn't he with you?"
Xiao Yi's eyes changed slightly, and his tone was stiffer than before when he spoke, "He went to Ming'an City."
Yun Zhi said oh and didn't ask in detail. She only thought about going to Xiao Rufeng to ask what happened next.
So, she asked again: "What about your uncle?"
Xiao Yi frowned slightly, "Are you looking for him?"
Yunzhi nodded, but still felt a little guilty, "There's something going on."
"That's really unlucky. Something happened to the Yezhou Divine Sword Sect, and he rushed there in the afternoon. He probably won't be able to come back for a few months."
When Xiao Yi spoke, his eyes kept falling on her face, as if he wanted to see something.
Yun Zhi first let out a look of disappointment, then felt surprised again, "What about this current case...?"
Xiao Yi smiled helplessly: "Leave it to me and Brother Pei."
Yaowang Valley and Qingyi Villa both belong to the Wulin Alliance. To put it bluntly, this matter is a family matter of the Wulin Alliance, and the two Lingguo government officials did not want to take the job. In the afternoon, they returned the case to the Wulin Alliance. alliance.
At this time, Xiao Rufeng received the news that the Divine Sword Sect was massacred. The Divine Sword Sect is one of the four major sects in the world today. It would be a big deal for such a major sect to be slaughtered suddenly, so Xiao Rufeng immediately took the two masters Feng Jiangui and Xu Lianyi and went straight to Ye state.
The case of the death of Yaowang Valley's junior sister Zheng Ying naturally fell on Xiao Yi, the young master of the village, and Qu Shaochen, the master of Qinglong Hall. However, at the same time, the people of Yaowang Valley did not completely trust Qingyi Villa. Therefore, as a Pei Shun, a direct disciple of Medicine King Gu Tianyi, had to take over the investigation of the case with them.
Pei Shun seemed to have a good reputation in Yaowang Valley. After he proposed to take charge of the investigation, everyone in Yaowang Valley felt relieved, but he gave them a three-day deadline.
If the real murderer cannot be found within three days, Qingyi Villa will withdraw from the Wulin Alliance, and Xiao Rufeng will also step down as the leader of the alliance.
Time was tight, but Xiao Yi agreed.
After Yun Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but look at the young man in white in front of him again.
I just felt very puzzled: "Xiao Yi, you look very smart, how could you agree to such a ridiculous thing?"
Xiao Yi looked indifferent, "I'm not the leader of the martial arts alliance."
Yun Zhi became even more confused, "Is your uncle treating you badly?"
"It's okay." Xiao Yi sighed slightly, "You don't believe me so much?"
His eyes were dark, and Yun Zhi shook his head quickly, with a smile on his face, "No way! How powerful our Young Master Xiao is! Let alone three days, just tomorrow, we can solve this case tomorrow! Right!"
Xiao Yi snorted softly and smiled.
The two were silent for a while, and Yun Zhi still asked: "Um...is there anything I can do to help?"
Although she cares about her sister, she knows very well that in this strange place, she alone cannot even recognize the words, let alone successfully reach the country of Yan. She needs to travel with others, so she naturally has to help. They solve everything that comes their way. What's more, she sincerely regarded them as friends. How could she stand by and watch if something happened to her friends?
Xiao Yi glanced at her, thought about it seriously, and nodded: "Yes."
Yunzhi looked at him expectantly.
"Well..." Xiao Yi blinked at her, coughed slightly, and said, "Come have a meal with me."
Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"
Xiao Yi had already started walking to the backyard, "Let's go, I'm hungry."
"That's right. Only when you are full can you have the strength to investigate the case!"
Yunzhi muttered to himself, and then said: "Ayu and my eldest sister haven't eaten either, I'll ask them to come together!"
With that said, without waiting for anyone to agree, he ran away.
"..."
Xiao Yi sighed silently and followed up.
