Xu Qingchen went to Linghan and said he would take her to the back mountain for tea.
I originally thought that Ayana would not agree, because since coming to the Thorn Gate, Ayana would say boring at least three times a day. When I was in Luzhou, I could still go shopping if I had nothing to do, but the Thorn Gate was on the mountain, in the barren mountains and wild mountains. There was nothing to see, and people gradually became reluctant to move. Who knew that after Xu Qingchen told Linghan, Linghan happily agreed.
The two of them took the small stove and tea set and headed towards the back mountain.
On the stone pavilion in the back mountain, Xu Qingchen lit the fire and boiled the tea. He didn't know how to make tea before, but after spending time with Yangfan for a long time, he had some understanding of these arty things.
Of course, Xu Qingchen did not forget his mission, and glanced at Chen Benyuan's residence from time to time.
Linghan noticed his look a long time ago and asked with a smile: "Brother Qingchen, come and keep an eye on me."
Xu Qingchen was surprised: "How did you tell?"
"Your eyes are almost flying... How could you be watching like this? It's so far away, just look at me, who will notice? Get out of the way and I'll make tea."
Linghan took over Xu Qingchen's position. Half an hour later, Xu Qingchen, who had always been calm, couldn't hold his anger anymore. He asked, "Stalking...is it so boring?"
Ayana took a sip of tea and couldn't help but laugh: "You are too honest and just stare motionless. You can look elsewhere, just glance at it with your peripheral vision."
Xu Qingchen asked Linghan: "Don't you ask me why I'm following you?"
"Of course you have your own reasons." In fact, it comes from the belief deep in her heart. She does not believe that Xu Qingchen will become bad, so she believes in everything he does.
"in reality……"
"Don't tell me," Ayana said without raising her head, "Didn't you say you wouldn't let me get involved?"
Xu Qingchen smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I forgot."
After speaking, he stretched. But as soon as he raised his hand, he felt a stab of pain in the waist he had injured in Luzhou a few days ago. He hurriedly bent down and held his lower back.
Ayana asked: "Does your waist hurt again?"
Xu Qingchen nodded: "It's much better. It hurt even if I stood for a long time in the past few days."
Hearing this, Linghan turned around, wiped the bench in the stone pavilion, and said to Xu Qingchen, "Get down and I'll press it for you."
"Huh? No need, it will get better gradually."
"Get down." Xu Qingchen couldn't resist the warm welcome, so he had no choice but to lie down on the bench.
Linghan rolled up her sleeves and put her hand on Xu Qingchen's lower back... What Xu Qingchen didn't know was that Linghan's face was almost as red as a monkey's butt. She also wondered how she could say such words just now. It seemed that after returning from Luzhou, she became much bolder.
"It's going to hurt a little." He tried to sound calm.
"Hiss...it's quite effective. I feel like my lower back is getting warm."
Hearing Xu Qingchen's feedback, Linghan smiled happily: "Master and senior brother have very heavy gloves. They often accidentally slip their waists when practicing martial arts. I massage them every time. Senior brother After I got married, my sister-in-law learned the craft from me."
"Hehe," Xu Qingchen smiled happily, "My eldest brother and sister-in-law are still worried that you won't be able to get married. You are so considerate, which man will be lucky enough to marry you."
Hearing this, Linghan pressed twice hard in retaliation, silently thinking: Stupid.
"It hurts, it hurts, please be gentle... eh? Wait a minute."
While enjoying Linghan's massage, Xu Qingchen's eyes never left Chen Benyuan's residence. Just now, he saw Chen Benyuan roll out of the back window. The tall courtyard wall blocked his figure. Not long after, there was a sound of birds chirping from the courtyard wall, and then a man dressed as a farmer approached the courtyard wall carrying two loads of firewood, seemingly sitting under the courtyard wall to rest.
After a while, a cylindrical object flew out of the courtyard wall. The old farmer stuffed the cylinder into the firewood, picked up the load again, and walked down the mountain.
"Yang Fan really got it right." Xu Qingchen muttered.
Linghan asked in a low voice: "Qingchen
Brother, shall we catch up? "
"It's not us," Xu Qingchen stood up from the bench, "It's me who wants to catch up, so don't run around."
Linghan was a little aggrieved: "Didn't you say you wouldn't let me leave your side?"
"This time is different. Be obedient and wait here."
After Xu Qingchen finished speaking, he walked around the hill.
He followed the old farmer from a distance and walked for five miles until he completely left the area of the Thorn Gate before planning to catch him. But the old farmer seemed to have eyes in his back. As soon as Xu Qingchen had this idea, he had already fled into the woods. He secretly thought something was wrong and hurried into the woods.
But there is no trace of the old farmer in the deep woods.
Xu Qingchen felt a little guilty. As the saying goes, to catch a thief, catch the deed. Now it is certain that Chen Benyuan was the wife of his wife, but without evidence, it is a false accusation.
While he was blaming himself, a man's voice came from the treetops not far away.
"Ouch!"
Then there was a "boom", as if something fell from a high place.
Xu Qingchen hurried over and saw Linghan looking at him with a smile on her face. The old farmer was lying on the ground. Looking closer, it turned out that the old farmer was not old at all. His stooped figure was all fake, and his jaw seemed to be dislocated. He was lying on the ground babbling and speechless.
Ayana smiled proudly: "You still have to rely on me, right?"
Only then did Xu Qingchen realize one thing: Linghan had more experience in the world of martial arts, but he was just a little older than Linghan.
Xu Qingchen asked: "What happened to him?"
"Oh, I took off his chin."
Seeing that Xu Qingchen was confused, Linghan explained: "These killers will die if they are caught. In order not to be tortured, many of them hide medicine in their mouths. You can check it."
Xu Qingchen knelt down to check, and sure enough he found that one of his molars had been hollowed out, with a pill hidden inside.
After taking out the pills, Xu Qingchen reattached the killer's chin under Linghan's guidance.
Ayana changed her expression to one of wanting to eat people and asked, "Who sent you here?!"
The killer looked horrified, and his last attempt at relief had been revealed. He knew exactly what he was going to face next.
"Xiao, Xiao just takes money to do things! I don't know either!"
"Not honest, huh?"
"Don't dare!"
Xu Qingchen found the cylinder from the firewood pile. It was a bamboo tube. After opening it, he took out a piece of paper. As expected, the content of today's meeting is all above.
Xu Qingchen whispered: "The evidence has been obtained, there is no need to ask him anything."
Linghan looked at the killer and asked Xu Qingchen: "Then...Brother Qingchen, how should we deal with this person?"
"Alas..." Xu Qingchen sighed, "His life is not good."
What Xu Qingchen did was right. The killer who was caught would only die. If such a person were released, it would be a disaster. Of course Lao Jianghu Linghan understood this, but when these words came out of Xu Qingchen's mouth, she felt very uncomfortable.
Ayana shook out the thin knife from her sleeve and said, "I'll do it."
Xu Qingchen reached out to stop her, gently took the knife from her hand, and said with an indifferent expression on his face: "I'll do it."
…
On the way back, Linghan followed Xu Qingchen silently. She kept waiting, waiting for Xu Qingchen to turn around and say to her: "I have no choice but to do so." Or "I can't let you kill people for me." Anyhow, she just wanted an excuse.
But without waiting, Xu Qingchen acted very calmly about "killing this killer".
At that moment, Ling had an illusion: Although she could see this person every day, she seemed to be getting further and further away from him.
…
Xu Qingchen's work efficiency impressed Yang Fan, and he handed the bamboo tube and secret letter to Agarwood.
Agarwood just glanced at it lightly and asked, "Are you sure he's the only one?"
"My subordinate is sure."
"I know, thank you for your hard work
, Yang Fan. "
"Where, Xu Qingchen did these things."
Agarwood said nothing and asked Yang Fan to retreat first.
Yang Fan and Xu Qingchen thought that there would be a bloody storm next, but they had not seen any new movements from the agarwood branches for several days.
Seven or eight days have passed, and the new year is approaching. On this day, the Thorn Sect held a big banquet, and all the members of the sect attended. In full view of everyone, when Chen Benyuan stood up to toast the agarwood branch, his eyes suddenly turned sideways. Chen Xiangzhi was shocked and immediately called the doctor Zhao Bin. Doctor Zhao is in his early thirties and is also a miracle doctor from Yaoxian Valley.
After Dr. Zhao diagnosed Chen Benyuan, he suffered a stroke. At his age, coupled with the large amount of meat he had just eaten and the large bowl of wine he had just drank, it was normal for him to have a stroke. After a period of rescue efforts by Dr. Zhao, his life was saved, but the right half of his body was paralyzed and the left half of his body could not be used very well. Moreover, his speech was slurred, his mind became unclear, and he was crying and laughing at the same time.
A nice banquet turned out to be such a mess.
