"But I clearly heard you say that Elder Kaiyang died while trying to escape from prison. Then, someone must have helped him escape from prison. Think about it, he and Elder Yaoguang are Nie Hengcheng's confidants. If one dies, the other will naturally He must be rescued. Therefore, people in the Demon Cult must know where the dungeon is."
The young man said coldly: "Not everyone in the Demon Cult knows that dungeon."
The girl tilted her head softly, as bright as a peach blossom, "I can only give it a try. I didn't expect you to really know."
The young man was filled with resentment and tried his best to keep his face calm, "If you ask me directly, I will tell you."
Girl: "It's better to be safe."
The warmth in the young man's heart gradually turned cold.
He remembered that this afternoon, the girl's room was warm and soft. She asked him to sit beside her bed, with her furry head and cute pink cheeks exposed, looking at him tenderly and trustingly - so, it was all a trap? !
"Have you known about this for a long time?" He felt chills all over his body.
The girl raised her head slightly, letting the drizzle hit her face, "Yesterday to now, you were the only one who showed up. They didn't know that I was also in that courtyard yesterday afternoon. The reason why they dared to take Mr. Qian up the mountain was for their future plans. Second, they plan to get rid of you... You have already exposed many flaws, and of course, you don’t care at all if you are revealed to be someone other than Chang Ning."
The young man said angrily: "I don't care because I thought you didn't care either."
The girl nodded: "Before, my father was fine. I really didn't care who you were, and I didn't care about anything in the world. But now that my father's life or death is uncertain, I care about many things."
"Tonight, both of us were actually caught off guard. I didn't expect them to find a way to get rid of you so quickly; they also didn't expect us to find the dungeon and Mr. Qian so quickly."
The young man's heart was in confusion, and he stepped forward and grabbed the girl's arm: "Put down the tent you lied to me about first. There are dangers here. You can't stay any longer. Follow me down the mountain first!"
The girl remained motionless and said softly: "If I go down the mountain with you tonight, I will be convicted of colluding with the Demon Cult. If I rely on you to save my father, Luoying Valley will not be able to escape the crime of colluding with the Demon Cult."
The young man's jaw tightened: "Then you, Luoyinggu, can just come over here!"
"Is it like the Thousand Faces Gate?" The girl looked calmly.
The young man was stabbed in the vital part unexpectedly and was speechless for a long time.
The girl forcefully opened his big palm that was holding her arm, "Even if the righteous people have long disliked the Qianmian Sect, but if the Qianmian Demon Tu hadn't had lard in his brain and led the entire sect to join the Demon Cult, Qianmian Tu would have The door may not be destroyed.”
"Luoying Valley doesn't belong to me alone, it belongs to my aunt, my father, my mother, and many other valley residents - they have all suffered at the hands of the Demon Cult, and they even have a blood feud that is so deep in their bones."
"With more than ten generations of ancestors in Luoying Valley, I cannot lead Luoying Valley into a path of no return based on my selfish interests, even if it involves my father's life."
The young man's heart grew colder. He looked into the girl's firm eyes and couldn't help but said, "Aren't you afraid that they will kill someone and silence you if you stay here?"
The girl smiled softly: "Furong Jade should have left Qingque Town by now. Letters will be sent out early tomorrow morning to inform Master Fakong and Uncle Zhou that there are still disciples of the Thousand Faces Sect and that the master may be replaced. , Sect Leader Song, Taoist Priest Yunzhuan and other heroes from all walks of life - everyone will come to Qingque Sect soon."
"When the secret is no longer a secret, there is no need to kill me."
The corner of the young man's mouth raised a hint of sarcasm: "You have thought of everything. I really underestimate you."
Cai Zhao nodded: "What you said is absolutely correct. So hurry up and leave. They should have noticed that they went to the Stone Wall Dungeon without you, and they should rush here now."
The young man grabbed the chain links behind the end of the iron rope with one hand, turned around and sneered: "In that case, what are you doing here tonight? Leave quickly, or someone will see you entangled with me, a member of the devil's sect. !”
Cai Zhao heard the shouts and the sound of many galloping footsteps coming from far behind. She reached forward and activated the black iron mechanism, and the iron cable mechanism instantly made a huge roar.
She shouted at the young man hanging on the iron rope: "——I'm afraid you'll keep waiting for me!" After saying that, she turned around and ran in the other direction, disappearing into the night.
The iron rope shoots out like a sharp sword piercing the clouds, and the young man hanging on it is like a cloud riding on the mist, with his long robe and long sleeves fluttering like a bird flying over the bottomless abyss.
——It would have been nice if she hadn't yelled that last sentence.
He thought blankly.
Chapter 42
Cai Zhao slowly regained his consciousness from the sleeping jungle, as reluctantly as a lazy donkey dragging a broken car.
She hasn't slept like this for a long time since her father disappeared.
The room is smoked with precious spices, including one or two dozen golden emerald dots, as if mixed with a touch of bergamot. The gold powder is rich and elegant yet elegant. The bedding and pillows beside you are all made of fine brocade and fine linen. The bed is piled with brocade and embroidery, as if lying in the clouds.
Cai Zhao really wanted to attract Furong Jade to come over and see how her house was decorated. Ever since Xiajiao got married, the two of them had become increasingly unruly. They were constantly sarcastic and sarcastic to him. It was really unseemly!
Oh, they're not here right now.
As long as it's safe, it doesn't hurt to be a little less decorous.
Cai Zhao was born full of expectations.
It is said that Cai Pingshu had declined the decoction and planned to die naturally. However, when she saw her little niece's rosy and wrinkled face, she was so happy that she thought that no matter what, she would live until the little girl learned to talk. Hear her call 'aunt'. So Cai Pingshu took the medicine seriously and worked hard to heal himself, but his life was delayed for a long time.
When he heard little Cai Zhao calling for someone, Cai Pingshu thought that his niece might be bullied in the future, so he wanted to teach him his unique skills. When the little girl started to master martial arts, Cai Pingshu was worried that she would not be happy all day long. I am heartless, what should I do if I am deceived, so I want to give some more principles on how to behave in the world.
Day after day passed like this, until Cai Zhao was twelve years old, Cai Pingshu passed away.
For this reason, Cai Pingchun, Ning Xiaofeng, even Qi Yunke, Zhou Zhizhen and others all expressed their love and gratitude to Xiao Cai Zhao.
They often say that Cai Pingshu lived twelve more years because of her.
Ning Xiaofeng hopes that her daughter can be like Cai Pingshu, brave and upright, free and open-minded, as bright and fearless as the scorching sun. Cai Pingshu hopes that her daughter can be like Ning Xiaofeng, smart, clever, cute and charming, and can live a refined life.
Cai Pingchun hopes... Valley Master Cai has no objection.
However, Cai Pingshu and Ning Xiaofeng are two completely different people. Cai Pingshu stood up and walked, resolute and resolute. No matter it was windy or rainy, he would always get up before dawn to practice martial arts. However, Ning Xiaofeng would sleep until he woke up naturally even if he had accumulated an account book half as tall as a person. It was said that he was sharpening his sword. Woodcutter.
In the end, Cai Zhao gave half to each of her aunt and mother. She always struggled on the bed before getting up. The half from her aunt told her that every inch of time is worth an inch of gold and it was time to get up and pick up gold. The half from her mother tricked her into sleeping a little longer. This is a moment, but when I get older and sleep less in the future, I won’t be able to sleep even if I want to.
Cai Zhao opened his eyes, sat up slowly, and found that it was approaching dusk outside.
She smiled bitterly, these days she was busy at night and catching up on sleep during the day.
Two beautiful maids came forward with freshly ironed clothes, helped her put on her clothes and shoes, and then held a mirror to comb her hair.
After sending off Ji Chang Ning last night, the sky began to light up. She knew that Qingjing Zhai was empty, and there must be countless pairs of eyes hiding around her, secretly watching her. She did not dare to go back there.
She originally wanted to spend the night at Master Lei's place in Yaolu to recharge her batteries, but as soon as she returned home and picked up the bundle that Fu Rong had prepared for her, she saw Song Yuzhi standing in the courtyard, inviting her to take a rest at Chuitianwu.
At first Cai Zhao was hesitant: "It's not good for you and my reputation..."
"This time, in addition to a few guard uncles, there are also skilled cooks coming from Guangtianmen."
Cai Zhao immediately said - children of Jianghu are upright and self-aware, and there is no need to worry about trivial matters.
Looking at the clear breeze and bright moon outside Chuitianwu, who knows that the layout of the house is like a gold-selling cave, with gold and jade everywhere, and every step is beautiful.
Song Yuzhi had no choice but to explain to her that these were the tastes of his father Song Shijun.
Cai Zhao expressed his appreciation: "Actually, most people in the world like this kind of arrangement, but they can't afford it. It's great for your father to do this. He has both gold and silver, and he also happens to like gold and silver."
Song Yuzhi:...
After getting along for a long time, he already knew that many times Cai Zhao did not mean to be annoying. So he'd better learn to appreciate Cai Zhao's language style, otherwise he'll be pissed to death.
So he said: "Well, it's lucky that Jinshan Yinshan met my father, otherwise he would have been lost."
After washing up, Cai Zhao sat down at the table and started eating. She slept from sunrise to sunset, and she didn't know what kind of meal this was.
After putting a few chopsticks and spoons into her mouth, she sighed in her heart, it was going to kill her.
The White Jade Bitter Melon Soup unexpectedly transforms the bitter taste into sweetness and deliciousness. The Babao Duck is soft, glutinous and delicious with distinctly shredded meat. The stir-fried double-crispy soup is cooked at exactly the right temperature. Even the rice seems to have been steamed out of a bamboo tube, leaving an aftertaste of aroma.
Cai Zhao sighed while eating - how about she go and discuss with Qi Lingbo, she would marry to Peiqiong Villa, and she would remarry to the Song family?
no.
She shook her head secretly. People in martial arts are the most trustworthy people. How could she want to remarry just because of a few dishes? Besides, she had never met the Zhou family chef, who might be better.
Two maids stood aside and thoughtfully served soup.
Cai Zhao looked at their pretty faces and was full of envy: "Do you serve Third Senior Brother like this every meal?"
Unexpectedly, when the beautiful maids heard this, they both looked aggrieved.
A maid said: "My maid thought, but it's a pity that the young master refused and drove the maid far away."
Another maid said: "Miss Qi is too fierce. When she sees our sisters, she screams and kills us. The young master said that he will let us go back to Guangtianmen after a while."
Cai Zhao was very angry: "Senior Sister Lingbo was born in a world of blessings. It is such a blessing to have gentle and considerate beauties like you serving her, but she still doesn't want it. It's really unreasonable!"
The two maids looked at each other.
A maid coughed lightly and said, "Maybe Miss Qi doesn't like our sisters waiting beside you while the master is bathing."
Cai Zhao: "I need help from someone to take a bath, but I can't rub my back."
Two maids:...
Another maid was a little embarrassed: "Maybe Miss Qi doesn't like us sleeping in the young master's room at night."
Cai Zhao: "Wow, you guys kept vigil for Third Senior Brother. I thought there wouldn't be such diligent maids now. You two are so attentive." Furong Jade slept more soundly than herself at night, and sometimes she snored and served tea and water. Don't even think about it. If you get lost, you have to wake them up yourself. It's really annoying!
Two maids:...
The meal lasted until it was dark, and the two maids were almost reluctant to let Cai Zhao go. They only regretted why the Song family did not get engaged to the Cai family back then.
Cai Zhao waved goodbye to the beauty and walked leisurely to Song Yuzhi's room.
As soon as they approached the main room, there were sword-wielding guards appearing from all around. A middle-aged man with a short beard and a square face stood at the door and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Miss Cai. She looks much better after eating and sleeping well." As he said, Cai Zhao was let in without asking why.
Song Yuzhi was wearing his outer robe and reading under the lamp. When he saw Cai Zhao coming in, he quickly put on his outer robe and said, "Uncle Pang Liu, why didn't you ask me to change my clothes before letting Junior Sister in?"
Pang Xiongxin grinned: "It's not like you're not wearing any clothes, so there are so many rules." After that, he went out.
Cai Zhao waited for Song Yuzhi to put on his clothes before lifting the bead curtain and entering the back room.
"How about adding a shawl? The skirt of this robe is a bit wide and the collarbone is exposed." She looked at the serious and handsome young man in front of her and reminded her very thoughtfully.
Song Yuzhi couldn't bear to open his lapel: "...No need."
"Let's talk." Cai Zhao sat at the table, "I have a lot to say to Third Senior Brother... Um, is there no tea here?" She carried an empty teapot and wanted to drink tea after having too much dinner.
Song Yuzhi had no choice but to take out the copper teapot from the heater nearby and pour tea for Cai Zhao himself.
"What's going on on the mountain now?" Cai Zhao blew the tea cup lightly - the fine Yunding Xiang, two more cups can buy you a shop.
Song Yuzhi did it slowly, "Master Uncle Lei said frankly that he was afraid, and after returning to the medicine house, he detained Junior Brother Fan and the other disciples and did not allow them to come out. Master Li seemed half-convinced, and asked Senior Brother Zhuang and other disciples to step up patrols to prevent both outside and inside. Ouyang Master Uncle Chen and others still obey Mu Weigong's orders, but they are separated from the new group of barriers. The master...the sect leader ordered to strictly guard the stone wall dungeon and not let down even a little bit."
Cai Zhao asked again: "Where is the master's wife?"
"The Shuanglian Huachi Palace is still closed."
Cai Zhao was a little unsure: "You took me back to Chuitianwu, and Senior Sister Lingbo didn't come to scold me?"
Song Yuzhi poured himself a cup of tea: "She wanted to come, but the master's wife noticed her. So she sent a maid to scold you and me, and I kicked her out."
