When Chang Geng heard this, he felt aggrieved for his master, "If I don't mention anything else, let's just say that my master didn't have to come here tonight, but my master kept his promise and went to the prison as soon as he heard that something happened to Miss Tao.
After that, I came here immediately. It’s okay if you don’t appreciate it. How can you do such a thing of stabbing me in the back? besides……"
"Shut up." Xie Lan interrupted Chang Geng, and then looked at Jiu Qingzi, "Senior's mechanism skills are unparalleled in the world, and his poison skills are unparalleled, so if senior really wants to kill me, now I am already A corpse.
But the senior didn't do this. I guess the senior's purpose tonight is not to kill me. "
Tao Yaoyao thought about his words for a moment and then subconsciously looked at the people on the steps, "Senior, do you want to know who is the person behind Fufeng?"
Although Jiu Qingzi is a legend in the world, it can be said that he has no idea about the affairs of the court. He is clear-sighted and knows that Xie Lan is not the real murderer, but he alone wants to find the person behind the scenes. Even though it was dangerous and far away, Xie Lan was smart and capable. If he was willing to help, the matter would be much easier.
When the people next to him heard this, their eyes lit up.
Seeing this, Jiu Qingzi snorted coldly, "You bitch, you're quite smart, but how come you've been tricked to such an extent?"
"Every man makes a mistake, and a horse makes a mistake." Tao Yaoyao pursed her lips in embarrassment, then held the steps and sat next to Jiu Qingzi, "Senior is also a sensible person, so why did he let Fufeng go before?"
Tao Yaoyao was very curious and wanted to ask when she saw him, but before she could say anything, Xie Lan and the others came over, so it was delayed until now.
Speaking of this Jiu Qingzi, he became angry, "Who said I don't want to kill that guy who deceives his master and destroys his ancestors? But I didn't expect him to be so despicable and shameless."
That day, Jiu Qingzi took Fufeng away from here and went to his house in the city. In line with the principle of not wronging his apprentice, he wanted to hear Fufeng's defense before making a final conclusion.
Who knew that the kid actually knocked him unconscious while he was cooking for him, and when he woke up again, he had already run away.
"You are so skilled, how could you..."
"I don't know martial arts." Jiu Qingzi said displeasedly. He has learned everything quickly in his life, but his martial arts attainments are really... not worth mentioning.
Otherwise, how could that brat escape under his nose?
"It's not that he is smart, it's that you trust him too much and are unprepared." Tao Yaoyao could understand that most people would be like this when facing their relatives.
Although she had not seen how their master and apprentice got along, she could tell that Jiu Qingzi was really good to this apprentice, otherwise she would not have thought about avenging him when he was already dead.
"Even if the senior doesn't say anything, I will investigate this matter clearly." Xie Lan didn't cover his eyes with Jiu Qingzi. He really thought so. If something hadn't happened on Tao Yaoyao's side, he was temporarily unable to do anything...
"Three days." Jiu Qingzi said, "If you can't find the murderer of Fufeng in three days, don't blame me for being rude."
After Jiu Qingzi finished speaking, he carried Tao Yaoyao into the house, as if he was carrying a chicken, which made Tao Yaoyao very angry.
"Senior, let me go, it's embarrassing."
"Senior, she can't stay here with you." Xiao Shuo stepped forward to remind Jiu Qingzi, "She is now a felon in the imperial court. If she is not in prison, she will be designated as a fugitive. When the time comes..."
"What a fugitive? Many people saw her being captured by me tonight." Jiu Qingzi doesn't understand the law, but he's not stupid. The man named Xiao is smart at first glance, and he plays tricks in front of him. I don’t even want to see if I have the ability.
After Jiu Qingzi finished speaking, before they could speak again, he threw out a smoke bomb and left the bamboo forest with Tao Yaoyao.
When the smoke dissipated, several people rushed into the house, but the whereabouts of Jiu Qingzi and the two were nowhere to be found.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Xiao Shuo was worried that the Zhou family would cause trouble tomorrow after news of this incident spread. In addition, what happened this afternoon was originally not good for Tao Yaoyao. If she couldn't go back tonight... …
"Tell the truth." Xie Lan said.
After Xiao Shuo thought about it for a while, his eyes lit up, but when he thought of something, he worried again, "Since this, I'm afraid they will be in danger again."
"The most dangerous time has passed. Mr. Xiao and Mr. Zhang will investigate as soon as possible after returning home how many waves of killers came tonight."
Speaking of this, Xiao Shuo also looked shocked. He had long heard Tao Yaoyao say that there were many people in Kyoto who wanted to kill him, but he did not expect that there would be so many people.
Tonight's killers were coming one after another. If Jiu Qingzi hadn't appeared and taken him away, there's no telling what would have happened in the end.
"I'll go back with Mr. Zhang right now."
After the two left, Chu Wulang felt guilty and left with them. Chang Geng wanted to say something when he saw this, but Xie Lan glanced at him and Chang Geng shut up.
When only the master and servant were left in the bamboo forest, Chang Geng saw that his master not only had no intention of leaving, but also went to the bamboo house again, and asked in confusion, "What is the master looking for?"
"Shu Qingzi."
Just now, it only took a moment for the smoke bomb to dissipate after it was thrown out. Jiu Qingzi was good at Qinggong, but he had no internal strength. If he was the only one to escape, this time would definitely be enough.
But if you take Tao Yaoyao with you, then you have to think about it differently.
"Master, what you mean is..." Chang Geng was surprised and began to search quickly in the house, but there was only one room and there were so many things in it that he could almost see everything at a glance.
This doesn't look like it can hide people.
So Chang Geng quickly turned around and returned to the door, "Master, I have searched everywhere I can."
"They're not in the house."
After Xie Lan finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the steps.
Jiu Qingzi and Tao Yaoyao were standing in this position just now. If they had not returned to the house, where would they have gone?
Xie Lan raised his head and glanced at the mechanism on the big tree opposite. This was the mechanism that Jiu Qingzi had used when he tied up Zhang Jing the last time they came over. It was still in use today, so it was definitely not the mechanism they were looking for.
"Master, what do you mean, the agency is outside?" Chang Geng had just finished speaking when he accidentally stepped on something under his feet, and then densely packed silver needles were shot towards them.
After Xie Lan noticed something was wrong, she grabbed him and flew to the big tree next to him. When the two of them stood still, Chang Geng looked at the silver needle that was still being inserted out, and suddenly felt a chill on his back.
With so many silver needles, I'm afraid even if he has good martial arts skills, he wouldn't be able to dodge them.
"Master... I was reckless just now." Chang Geng underestimated Jiu Qingzi's abilities. No wonder this person made all the forces fear him. "By the way, I heard that the Second Prince's people are looking for senior Jiu Qingzi."
Xie Lan had already guessed this.
"Be careful, there should be a lot of traps here." After Xie Lan flew to the ground, he became more and more sure of what he was thinking.
If this was just Jiu Qingzi's temporary base, he probably wouldn't have put so much effort into setting up the mechanism. Since he had put so much thought into it, he wouldn't leave easily.
But this time they have to be more careful.
At this time, Tao Yaoyao was sitting on the floor of the secret room, looking at Jiu Qingzi helplessly. Jiu Qingzi was sitting opposite her, with her legs crossed and her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep.
This is how the masters on TV sleep, but Tao Yaoyao is not a martial arts practitioner and can't fall asleep sitting up. Moreover, she feels uncomfortable all over and has some fever.
"Senior is so troubled to keep me here, even at the risk of exposing this secret room, there must be other purposes." Tao Yaoyao couldn't sit still, so she wanted to find someone to chat.
There were only two of them here, so she could only find him.
At first, Jiu Qingzi ignored her at all, but Tao Yaoyao was a thick-skinned person. She said what she wanted, no matter whether the other party answered or not, she could talk endlessly.
I don't know how much time passed, but Jiu Qingzi finally opened her eyes after being furious at what she said.
"Shut up, what kind of lady is as noisy as you, and you still look down on the third prince? I tell you, if you are willing to take the initiative to break off the engagement, that is the third prince's blessing. Otherwise, you will really get married. , he must not be annoyed to death by you."
Jiu Qingzi finally spoke, and when Tao Yaoyao saw this, not only was he not unhappy at all, but she even moved closer to him.
"Senior, how come you know so many things? It's already a skill for a person to focus on one thing all his life, to do it well, and to do it to the extreme. But you can be the best in the world in a few things. It's really amazing. admire."
"Stop flattering me. I have sworn that I will never accept another apprentice in this life."
Once bitten, twice shy.
Shu Qingzi is no exception.
"No, why are you like ordinary people, afraid of this and that?" Tao Yaoyao was surprised, "It's not your fault that others are bad. What you should do is learn from your mistakes and don't do it next time."
What the hell? Why does she act like he did something wrong?
Does this damn girl know who the kidnapper is? Do you really think he is easy to talk to? He was still a baby when he was killing people without blinking an eye.
It's really a tiger that doesn't show off its power, so it's like a cat.
"Aren't you Miss Tao? Why didn't you see your father running around after the accident? By the way, I also heard that the third prince went to search your yard today, and it was your second sister who personally took the third prince in. Not only So, they also found the poison that Mr. Zhou was poisoned with in your yard.”
Tao Yaoyao was stunned on the spot. She had felt that something was wrong about tonight's incident before, but now she realized that it was the work of the Tao family.
However, Tao Shi'an, a person who cares about face so much, will be very angry when he finds out what Tao Yanyan did?
Jiu Qingzi said this because he wanted to see her angry look, but he didn't expect that this girl looked expressionless. What kind of attitude was this.
She doesn't care at all about being plotted like this?
This is not like her temperament.
He had not been in Kyoto City for a long time, but he knew exactly what she had done in Kyoto City recently. He originally thought that after he said these words, she would be so angry that she would cause trouble for the Tao family.
Tao Yaoyao came back to her senses and saw something was wrong with Jiu Qingzi's expression, and laughed out loud, "Senior, there is no need for such an attitude. It is no secret that I am not favored in the Tao family, and I have long been used to it."
Habit?
Is there anyone in this world who is used to being ignored by others? How many times have you been disappointed before you can say such words so calmly?
Jiu Qingzi, who originally wanted to teach her a lesson, suddenly didn't know what to say.
"If you really feel sorry for me, why not tell me your plan." Tao Yaoyao brought the topic back.
Those peach blossom eyes were shining when looking at Jiu Qingzi, and she didn't have any good ideas at first glance. Jiu Qingzi glanced at her and then closed her eyes.
No matter what she said after that, he stopped saying anything.
Seeing this, Tao Yaoyao smiled and said, "Is it safe here for you? You must hide the mechanism, otherwise you may be found later."
Jiu Qingzi was very proud of this, "As long as I don't want people to find my mechanism, there won't be any in this world..."
Boom.
The position on the left side of the head was suddenly opened, and then Xie Lan jumped down. The moment Jiu Qingzi saw him, he subconsciously started to enter the palace. Seeing this, Tao Yaoyao shouted loudly, "Get away quickly, he is going to poison her."
Because of Tao Yaoyao's reminder, Xie Lan avoided Jiu Qingzi's fatal blow.
Jiu Qingzi didn't know martial arts. After losing the chance, he could only put away his anger. When he sat down again, he glared at Tao Yaoyao, "Smelly girl, didn't you say he has nothing to do with you?"
"Didn't he say it himself? Because of my grandfather's kindness, he helped me several times, so I naturally have to repay this kindness." After Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, he glanced at Xie Lan, "Why are you here? Already?"
Xie Lan said nothing, but Chang Geng looked excited, "Miss Tao, just be okay. My master said that you were nearby. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that my master is really smart."
"Yes, yes, your master is the smartest." Tao Yaoyao glanced at him again, and then urged, "You should leave quickly. If you really want to help me, just come over in three days."
Xie Lan stepped forward and said to Jiu Qingzi, "If senior really wants to find the murderer, there is an excellent way."
"What do you mean?" Jiu Qingzi frowned after seeing what Xie Lan meant, "I don't want to have any contact with the people in the court. I came to you to help my disciple find the real murderer, so what you want to say is just do not talk."
"Senior, I misunderstood. What I meant was... to lure the snake out of its hole."
This time Jiu Qingzi did not speak. Instead, he stared at him for a while and then laughed, "He is quite smart, but why do you think I will agree?"
Regarding this, Xie Lan said calmly, "Senior should also hope to avenge Fufeng as soon as possible."
"I leave this matter to you."
"But seniors should know that this king is not favored, and this matter involves the prince."
