Twenty-six.
At dusk, the setting sun is like blood.
In the courtyard, the calm pond reflected the sunset in the sky.
Occasionally, a ripple spreads, causing the entire calm water surface to ripple in a circle and then becomes calm again. The mirror-like water surface reflects the willow branches fluttering in the wind.
It's a pity that there is no one in the courtyard at this moment, and no one appreciates this quiet scenery.
Sitting next to Chu Qinghe in the inner courtyard, Huanwan looked at Chu Qinghe with a little puzzlement: "Obviously the other courtyard is quieter now, why do you come to this inner courtyard when it's time to cook? Come?"
During these days, Huanwan also discovered a special hobby of Chu Qinghe.
It didn't matter that he got up late in the morning, but at noon and in the evening when Qu Feiyan and the others were cooking, Chu Qinghe would move from his room or other courtyard to this inner courtyard.
Faced with Huanwan's question, before Chu Qinghe responded, the jellyfish Yinji on the side smiled and said: "Because it smells like fireworks."
"Smell of fireworks?"
Listening to what Jellyfish Yin Ji said, the confusion on Huan Huan's face did not decrease but increased.
Seeing this, Jellyfish Yinji said: "Qinghe once said, "The smell of fireworks in the world is the most soothing to people's hearts." The smell of burning firewood when cooking is a kind of smoke, so Qinghe would like to be there In this inner courtyard.
Taking into account what Jellyfish Yin Ji said, Huan Huan glanced at Chu Qinghe with a strange expression.
It was obviously difficult to understand Chu Qinghe's special interests.
Jellyfish Yinji and Chu Qinghe on the side saw this and did not continue to explain.
In the courtyard of Chu Qinghe, many things take time to cultivate.
After a long time, after everyone has become accustomed to everything in this yard, it will be natural to know the taste after eating the marrow.
Suddenly, as if he noticed something, Chu Qinghe suddenly raised his head.
Immediately afterwards, Jellyfish Yinji also felt the same and looked at each other in two directions in the air.
When looking at the four figures moving quickly from the north and south of the city from far to near under the warm sunshine, Jellyfish Yinji couldn't help but smile and said: "Sister Yue and Sister Dongfang have a tacit understanding and they came here together."
After Dongfang Bubai moved his headquarters from Heimuya to Guangmingding, the distance to Yushui City was similar to the distance between Yihua Palace and Yushui City.
Under the same time and distance, it is not strange for several people to meet each other on the way here.
Hearing this, Qu Feiyan, who had just been chopping vegetables in the kitchen, approached the kitchen door with a kitchen knife in hand.
Just when Qu Feiyan and the others came to the door, they happened to see Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai, who fell into the courtyard at almost the same time.
The moment he saw the two women, Qu Feiyan curled his lips, put on a sweet smile on his face, said hello, and then returned to the kitchen.
But after entering the kitchen, Qu Feiyan's face suddenly fell.
"The next few days will not be good again."
A few breaths later, Dongfang Bubai, Yao Yue, Xue Qianxun, and Lian Xing sat down one after another. Lian Xing and Xue Qianxun immediately called Chu Qinghe cordially "brother-in-law."
After several people sat down one after another, Yao Yue glanced at Dongfang Bubai and said, "It's about the Ming Dynasty. Why are you here so actively?"
Dongfang Bubai said coldly: "If you want to fight when you first come here, I can accompany you now, but this time you may not be as lucky as last time."
Hearing Dongfang Bubai's words, Yao Yueman said with disdain: "It's ridiculous, my defeated general still wants to show off his courage? Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Seeing the two women starting to strangle each other as soon as they sat down, Chu Qinghe rolled his eyes and said, "Okay! Let's calm down for a night."
As the voice came out, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue glanced at each other and turned their heads one after another.
Looking at this scene, the smile on Jellyfish Yinji's face couldn't help but become a little thicker.
Although Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue were not in the courtyard, Jellyfish Yinji was able to occupy the Chu Qing River alone.
But I have to say that when the two women have been separated for a long time, Jellyfish Yin Ji will feel that something is missing.
Now seeing the two of them fighting like children in front of her, Jellyfish Yinji suddenly felt that everything was complete.
When her eyes fell on Chu Qinghe, Yao Yue said, "The letter said that Gong Ziyu had been here two days ago?"
Chu Qinghe pointed to the yard opposite and said, "I'm recovering from my injuries right now. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be here soon."
at the same time
In the courtyard opposite Chu Qinghe's residence.
At this time, Bai Xiaosheng was still sitting quietly in the yard.
But unlike two days ago, Bai Xiaosheng was sitting on a simple wooden stool like an ordinary old man.
At this time, the chair under Bai Xiaosheng had been replaced by a Taishi chair, and there was a wooden table in front of him.
While looking through some files in his hand, he sometimes wrote on some slips of paper with the brush in his hand, and then took a bamboo tube with the slips of paper in his hand to take a carrier pigeon from a cage on the side.
In front of the main room, which was about ten steps away from Bai Xiaosheng, Gong Ziyu's four attendants stood quietly in front of the door, motionless.
In the main room, Gongzi Yu was lying quietly on the bed, his face was pale, and he even stopped breathing.
In the room, Mingyue Xin looked at Gong Ziyu lying on the bed motionlessly, her face full of nervousness and apprehension.
He wanted to inject true energy into Gong Ziyu's body to check the situation, but he was worried that it would affect Gong Ziyu, so he could only suppress the nervousness in his heart and wait quietly.
However, at this moment, Gong Ziyu's body suddenly started shaking on the bed.
Immediately afterwards, Gong Ziyu began to vomit blood uncontrollably from his mouth.
But unlike the dark red color of blood spit out from normal people, the blood spit out from Gong Ziyu's mouth at this time was dark red and even had a touch of gray.
Seeing this scene in her eyes, Ming Yuexin turned around anxiously and grabbed Gong Ziyu's hand, intending to comfort Gong Ziyu, but she didn't know if this was a normal reaction when the medicine took effect, and she seemed a little at a loss for a moment.
Similarly, Bai Xiaosheng, who was in the courtyard at this time, and Gong Ziyu's attendant outside the door also noticed the noise coming from inside the house.
The moment the sound reached his ears, Bai Xiaosheng ducked into the doorway.
The other four servants of Gong Ziyu also turned around and came forward. The five of them looked anxious across the door.
"Whoosh!"
However, just as all five people gathered at the door of the room, several piercing sounds suddenly rushed from a distance and landed on the back of a man wearing a white gown behind Bai Xiaosheng.
As these waves of energy fell on the man's back, the man who had been standing upright just now groaned and fell softly to the ground.
At the same time, a snuff bottle-sized bottle suddenly rolled out from under the man's sleeve.
The bottle made a slight sound when it hit the ground and rolled.
Hearing the sound, Bai Xiaosheng and the remaining three people standing at the door quickly turned their heads.
When they saw the man lying on the ground, their expressions changed drastically.
But the next second, several people discovered that a figure suddenly appeared in the yard.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Chu Qinghe?
When Chu Qinghe was discovered in the courtyard, the three remaining servants at the door began to circulate their zhenqi.
Bai Xiaosheng, who was at the door, looked slightly stunned.
Then he raised his head and glanced at Chu Qinghe, then Bai Xiaosheng looked at the servant who fell on the ground.
When his eyes were on the bottle that had stopped rolling in his hand, Bai Xiaosheng seemed to have thought of something and said immediately: "Don't even do anything, Chu Xiaoyou is one of our own."
Hearing Bai Xiaosheng's voice, the energy flowing in the bodies of the three people at the door stopped for a moment.
After drinking to stop the other three, Bai Xiaosheng took two steps forward, picked up the elixir bottle on the ground, put it under his nose and smelled it.
But as Bai Xiaosheng inhaled gently, his brows suddenly frowned.
Judging from the current situation, Bai Xiaosheng has roughly determined the current situation, and also understood that Gong Ziyu's servant secretly poisoned him while everyone was distracted by the movement in the house.
However, although there are not many colorless and odorless poisons in the world, they are not few either.
Although Bai Xiaosheng has some knowledge of medical skills, he is not proficient in it.
Although it is obvious that something is wrong with the smell inside this bottle, how can one tell what kind of poison is in it just from the smell?
In response, Bai Xiaosheng quickly raised his head and looked at Chu Qinghe who was walking towards him.
"Little friend Chu, is this poison?"
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe said slowly: "The autumn wind blows through the intestines and smoke."
Upon hearing the name of this poisonous smoke, Bai Xiaosheng's expression changed instantly.
Autumn wind smoke enters the intestines, one of the strangest poisons in the world. Although it is colorless and odorless, it is extremely toxic.
Even if a warrior at the Grand Master level is poisoned, his intestines will be penetrated by rotten bones.
As Bai Xiaosheng's expression changed drastically, there were also three other attendants at the door.
At this time, the three people were obviously affected by the autumn wind and the intestinal smoke. After the three people's bodies shook slightly for two times, there was a ball of green and black air between their eyebrows.
While walking, Chu Qinghe flicked his long sleeves, and a few rays of energy fell on the three attendants.
After the medicine rushed into the bodies of several people along with the force, the three attendants immediately felt that the discomfort in their bodies was quickly dissipating.
After coming back to his senses, Bai Xiaosheng immediately thought of Gong Ziyu and Ming Yue Xin in the room.
He immediately walked a few steps and opened the door to Chu Qinghe and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, little friend Chu."
Facing what Bai Xiaosheng said, Chu Qinghe nodded slightly.
Then he walked towards the room.
After Chu Qinghe entered the room, Bai Xiaosheng and the other three attendants all focused on the man on the ground.
Glancing at the servant on the ground who already had madness and despair in his eyes, Bai Xiaosheng sighed.
"It's hard to guard against house thieves day and night. It's been like this for thousands of years!"
However, compared to Bai Xiaosheng, the eyes of the other three attendants were more complicated.
Surprise, confusion and indifference flashed through his eyes one after another.
But after a few breaths, they all turned into a stern creature, with murderous intent clearly revealed.
Here, after Chu Qinghe stepped into the room, his eyes immediately fell on Gong Ziyu.
At this time, Gong Ziyu's face was no longer as pale as in the state of suspended animation, but instead turned red.
And there are wisps of black energy hovering between the eyebrows.
Seeing Chu Qinghe entering the room, Ming Yuexin's eyes lit up, but she no longer had the strength to stand up.
As he approached slowly, Chu Qinghe waved his long sleeves as usual to remove the poison from Mingyue Xin's body, and then walked in front of Gong Ziyu.
After his eyes stayed on Gong Ziyu's face for a few breaths, Chu Qinghe raised his right hand.
As the energy burst out from his fingertips, some powder followed Chu Qinghe's energy and entered Gongziyu's body.
With the introduction of these drugs, although Gong Ziyu's body was still trembling and blood was flowing out of his mouth, his face became pale again.
At this point, Chu Qinghe just said: "This situation will continue for another stick of incense. It will be fine when the time passes."
After hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Ming Yue Xin quickly nodded respectfully and said, "Ming Yue Xin thanks Mr. Chu very much."
"Um!"
After replying lightly, Chu Qinghe turned and walked towards the door.
When he reached the opening, Chu Qinghe's voice suddenly sounded.
"After Gong Ziyu wakes up, he will rest for a night and then come to my yard. Then he can deal with the matter."
The sound reached her ears, and Ming Yuexin quickly agreed.
Then, after nodding to Bai Xiaosheng, Chu Qinghe walked away.
"Control the man and wait until the young master wakes up before dealing with him."
"yes!"
After two extremely simple conversations, Ming Yuexin's eyes moved to Gong Ziyu again, and she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
But just across the door, Ming Yue Xin's cultivation naturally heard clearly what happened outside. Combined with what Bai Xiaosheng just said, how could Ming Yue Xin not guess what just happened?
But also because of Chu Qinghe's appearance just now and his smooth treatment of Gong Ziyu when he entered the room, Ming Yue felt relieved.
The other side.
After Chu Qinghe returned to the inner courtyard, Jellyfish Yinji looked at Chu Qinghe who was looking lazy and asked: "No wonder you let Gongziyu live across from us. It turns out that you already knew that something like this would happen. ?”
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe said angrily: "I don't know how to predict the future, how could I know this place? But thinking about his identity as a big dragon head, if an enemy comes to visit, he can help me, I never thought it would be him Someone under his command wants to take this opportunity to kill him."
Jellyfish Yinji sighed: "The people who can bring Gongziyu to come to you and take them with you are probably the ones that Gongziyu trusts very much, but I didn't expect that they would be betrayed by the most trusted person."
In response, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said nothing.
Even Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue are like this.
The human heart has never been able to withstand temptation since ancient times.
There are so many things that can affect a person.
This is true even for warriors.
Not everyone is as determined as Dongfang Bubai or Gong Ziyu and Bai Xiaosheng.
Any temptation may cause a person to greet someone with a smile one second, but then draw a knife to confront them the next.
Although something like this today is unexpected, it is also reasonable.
