The man in white hurried away after killing the person, but the turmoil caused by this incident was far from subsided.
When the shopkeeper saw that there was a murder in his restaurant, he was so frightened that he lost his soul and hurriedly ran to the government to report it.
Chang Xiaoyu, who saw the whole incident, was also frightened. Gu Sanyue had to find an inn to put her down first, and prepare to find ways to help her later.
Since the man in white was related to the New Rain Sect, Gu Sanyue didn't dare to delay. He immediately returned to Liuyun Inn and told Xu Huaigu everything that happened today.
After Xu Huaigu heard this, he was also confused and puzzled. First, the man in white said that the man in black had a life-and-death feud with the New Rain Sect, and he didn’t know what the identity of the man in black was.
Second, the man in white has bought all the food and drinks in the restaurant, so what is he going to do? Xu Huaigu pondered for a moment, then took out a messenger flying sword from his cuff, and then said a few words to the messenger flying sword, and the flying sword flew out of the inn on its own, turning into a streak of fireflies and disappearing into the sky.
Gu Sanyue looked at his actions curiously and asked, "Master, who are you writing to?" Xu Huaigu picked up the cooked mutton he had just bought on the table, dipped it in a large plate full of sauce, and sprinkled it on I put some chopped green onion on it, stuffed it into my mouth, and said casually: "Guess?" The mutton I just bought is still hot, and it tastes freshest and sweetest when dipped in sauce and chopped green onion.
Gu Sanyue's appetite was aroused by Xu Huaigu, and he began to eat voraciously. She originally planned to tease Xu Huaigu and ask if she was sending it to the woman he liked.
But in the blink of an eye, she thought about the way down Bailiang Mountain that day, so she quickly swallowed the words that had just come to her mouth back into her stomach along with the mutton.
Gu Sanyue shook his head bluntly and said, "I don't know." Xu Huaigu did not continue to guess the riddle with her, and directly announced the answer: "Qili Mountain." Of course Gu Sanyue was aware of the famous name of Qili Mountain in Feiyu Island. .
It is said that Qili Mountain is a rather mysterious organization in Feiyuzhou, specializing in assassinations and intelligence trading. It has many connections in both black and white circles in Feiyuzhou, and it can be said that its hands and eyes are all-powerful.
Speaking of which, the mountain owner of Qili Mountain saved the two of them on the ferry. Speaking of which, the two of them had a fate with Qili Mountain.
Since it is sent to Qili Mountain, the content goes without saying. It must be asking for the latest information about the New Rain Sect. As for the price, it is naturally fairy money.
Xu Huaigu was not in a hurry to go up the mountain to find out. He first wanted to find out what the current situation of Xinyu Sect was after all these years.
It is always right to be cautious. Then the next thing to do is to wait quietly in the inn for Qilishan's reply.
However, Xu Huaigu didn't know how long it would take for him to receive a reply. This was also his first time buying and selling information.
Fortunately, Gu Sanyue bought wine and meat, and he drank and ate meat at the same time. It was just a short time, so it was not difficult.
The two were chatting in the inn, and the topic unknowingly turned to the woman named Chang Xiaoyu.
Thinking of that poor woman, Gu Sanyue's brows could knit into a knot. She couldn't help but ask Xu Huaigu: "Master, tell me, she is so pitiful, how can we help her?" Xu Huaigu poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "I won't tell you, come on. Tell me, how do you want to help her?" Gu Sanyue held her chin, thought for a while, and said, "I thought, just giving money is not enough, we have to think of a long-term solution. Otherwise, we send her to Baidu. Going up to Liangshan Mountain? In this case, she will have a place to stay at least. No matter what she does on the mountain, whether it is serving tea or water, or doing menial and tiring work, she will at least be able to survive." Xu Huaigu smiled and said, "Then give Are you going to write this letter of recommendation for Bailiangshan? Who are you going to write to?" Gu Sanyue said without thinking, "Of course it's Sect Master Fang! I think Sect Master Fang is reasonable, and as long as we explain our purpose, he will definitely be willing to take him in. They belong to mother and daughter. Bailiang Mountain is so big that there is no shortage of this three-acre land." Xu Huaigu felt funny in his heart and said, "This is really a bad idea." Gu Sanyule insisted on his opinion and argued: " Why is this a bad idea? I think Sect Master Fang will definitely take them in." Xu Huaigu said: "Yes, you are right about this. I will definitely take them in, but you have to know that it is also for Sect Master Fang's sake. , will take her in. And I can guarantee that after she goes to Bailiang Mountain, she will not be subject to a lot of cynicism, and her life will definitely not be good." Gu Sanyue looked at Xu Huaigu in confusion, and Xu Huaigu continued: "Think about it Look, Sect Leader Fang is also an old man who has been around for many years. When he was young, he never saw these poor people? He must have seen more than you."
"If you really write to him, Fang Shengming will just treat it as a trivial matter. At worst, he will take them up to the mountain and find a job to settle them down, and he will not care about it anymore. But those disciples of Bailiang Mountain, seeing this What do you think about this thing? They are all the proud ones in the eyes of the world, and they have worked hard to get up the mountain. But now, there is a woman of unknown origin, with a child, who can do it so easily So you went up to Bailiang Mountain? People are jealous, why should they be gossiped about from behind?" Xu Huaigu finished a glass of wine, ate a few more bites of beef, and said, "So, writing a letter to Sect Leader Fang is really a bad idea. ." When Gu Sanyue heard what Xu Huaigu said, he immediately felt that it made sense.
She raised the wine glass and put it to her lips, frowning and thinking for a long time, not knowing what to do. Xu Huaigu said: "Actually, it's not impossible to go to Bailiang Mountain. If I were you, I wouldn't write to Fang Shengming. I have to find someone else." Gu Sanyue immediately looked at him and asked tentatively: "Xu Songtu?" But she immediately denied the idea: "No, Xu Songtu can't write it. I don't think that guy can be trusted to do things. And he definitely doesn't bother to do this kind of thing." She thought about it for a while, but finally failed. After coming out of the battle, he frowned and shook his head and said, "I still don't know." Xu Huaigu said, "Cheng Yiqing."
"Cheng Yiqing?" Gu Sanyue glanced at Xu Huaigu in disbelief, rolled his eyes, and finally seemed to realize, "Yes, Cheng Yiqing can do it!"
"Although Cheng Yiqing is just a young disciple on Bailiang Mountain, it is precisely because of his low status that he takes this matter seriously." Gu Sanyue said to himself: "Moreover, Cheng Yiqing is willing to make friends with me. He If you are willing to take Chang Xiaoyu in, although you have no right to let her live on Bailiang Mountain, it will not be a problem to give her a new identity and find a job in Suchang. In this way, it is really worse than writing a letter to Sect Master Fang. Much better." After clearing her thoughts, she felt that this method was indeed feasible, and she immediately became happy and asked: "How about we just do this?" But Xu Huaigu still said: "I think this can only be regarded as the middle strategy. "Gu Sanyue asked quickly: "Master, what do you think is the best policy?" Xu Huaigu gave up and did not answer her directly, but said: "March, do you think we outsiders have the right to intervene? What is the fate of a person?" Gu Sanyue frowned and asked: "Master, what do you mean?" Xu Huaigu said: "Think about it, when we were in Bailiang Mountain, whether it was the small beads I gave He Qiaoer or the The tea you gave Cheng Yiqing was a small kindness. Although it would be of benefit to their future lives, it would not be big. But if you write a letter and send Chang Xiaoyu to Bailiang Mountain, this is It's a big event that changes someone's life-long destiny. Do you think we have the right to do this?" Gu Sanyue was stunned for a moment, she had never thought about this issue before.
But when she thought about it, if Chang Xiaoyu was willing, she was doing this to help her. Could it be considered a bad thing?
So Gu Sanyue said nothing, neither agreeing nor refuting. Xu Huaigu stopped his wine glass and said to her: "I think the best thing to do is to give her some money." Gu Sanyue became more and more confused and asked: "Isn't it said that teaching a man to fish is not as good as teaching him to fish? What if I just give her some money? Money is enough, but when the money runs out, what should we do?"
"We can give her more, enough to help her survive this winter and find a stable job in the town." Gu Sanyule argued: "But she still has a child who is several months old, what can she find? Work?"
"You can send the child to a nunnery and foster her for a period of time. When the child is older, you can take her back." Gu Sanyue was still unconvinced and said, "But we can obviously send her to Suchang, how can we do it in Suchang?" Isn't it better than here? Master, do you really think this is the best way?" Xu Huaigu thought about it seriously, and then said, "I don't know."
"I'm just doing something with my own understanding. As for March, your understanding doesn't have to be the same as mine. Everyone should have their own thoughts. Because of this, people can be called human beings. Xu Huaigu continued: "As for Chang Xiaoyu, since you discovered it, I will not get involved. It is up to you to decide her final destination." Gu Sanyue looked at Xu Huaigu and saw that he looked serious. He was serious and not sulky at all, so he was relieved and replied equally seriously: "Yes, Master." Xu Huaigu smiled and said: "Sooner or later you will have to leave me and walk around alone. By then, everything will be done. You can only rely on yourself." Gu Sanyue pursed his lips, and said with a hint of coquettishness in his tone, "But I don't want to leave Master." Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "It's destiny, it's not up to you." The chat between the two ended here, and Xu Huaigu continued to fill his wine glass with wine, one cup after another.
The beef and mutton on the table became less and less due to his endless eating and drinking. Gu Sanyue didn't eat, she had other thoughts.
When Xu Huaigu was eating happily, Gu Sanyue suddenly grinned at him and said: "Master, I read a poem a few days ago. It seems to be... Zhumen's wine and meat are smelly, and there are frozen bones on the road. Master, please, What's the meaning of this poem?" Xu Huaigu stopped immediately, then looked at Gu Sanyue with a wicked smile and said, "It seems you haven't practiced your sword today, right?" Gu Sanyue nodded, but like a winner She said happily: "Yes, Master, I'll go right away!" Gu Sanyue stood up, and just when she was about to pick up the knife and go out, a firefly flew across the sky, and in a few breaths, she got into Xu Huaigu's house. .
A snow-white messenger flying sword stopped in front of Xu Huaigu. Xu Huaigu picked up the flying sword and put it to his ear to listen.
After a while, he smiled and said, "It's interesting."
