The drunkenness quickly subsided and he was half asleep. Guo Chuanlin woke up from his dream and opened his eyes suddenly. The night was deep, with the sound of wind, water, and insects, like weeping and complaining. A soft body was pressed against his back, his arms resting on his chest, and his subtle breath tickled his earlobes, making him feel a little itchy.
That's junior senior sister Li Qixian.
Guo Chuanlin gradually relaxed, and some broken fragments appeared in his mind, as if it had happened, but also as if he was in a dream, not very real. When was the last time you got drunk? It must have been many years... At that time, he was still young.
The fragrance of seal scripts was slowly rising, the curtains were hanging low, and the quilt was fragrant. He listened quietly to the breathing of the woman beside him, and remembered that it was Li Qixian who helped him into the bedroom, took off his clothes, and carefully helped him sleep. At this moment, she was clinging to his side, opening her body and mind without any reservation, like a little animal clinging to its master.
Guo Chuanlin turned around and kissed her sweet lips for a moment. Li Qixian noticed something and hummed in a daze, but did not want to open his eyes. He frowned and didn't turn around. After a while, Fell asleep again. She felt relieved to have him by her side, shielding her from the wind and rain.
Prince Huai's daughter Hong was fine. Although she was confused for a while, she didn't feel any discomfort. Her sleepiness was gone, and Guo Chuanlin was more awake than ever before. The Han soldiers successfully annihilated the Huai army and beheaded Hu Guanhai. In return, King Huai also provided him with the information he had been waiting for.
Although it is not stated clearly, the mastermind behind the Han family's tragedy is most likely one of the four concubines in Liang Yuanhao's harem: the noble concubine, the concubine Shu, the concubine De, and the concubine Xian. Although she is not a queen, she is as noble as a queen. This character is very crucial. The problem is The "Eagle Line" has been disconnected, how should he spread the news to Jiaguan? Guo Chuanlin opened his eyes and looked at the night outside the window, which was gradually getting lighter. The black curtains faded layer by layer, turning into different shades of gray. Wisps of orange-red penetrated the window edges, and the morning glow was like a brocade. It was dawn.
"Have you been awake all night?" Li Qixian's lazy voice sounded in his ears.
"Well, I drank too much, so I was a little excited. I only squinted for a short while."
"It's good to relax once in a while, otherwise you'll be too tired." Li Qixian got into his arms and pressed his chin against his chest.
Guo Chuanlin put his hand into her clothes and gently touched her young and smooth skin. Li Qixian dodged instinctively, and then his tense body relaxed. He closed his eyes and asked: "Uncle Feng...she said it all What?" There were outsiders present before, and then Guo Chuanlin got drunk again, so she never had the chance to ask. She didn't know that Feng Di had turned into a puddle of yellow water and seeped into the ground. She only knew that her junior brother secretly let her go for Qin Rong's sake, leaving an arm behind, which was enough punishment.
Guo Chuanlin said: "Once you step on this road of no return, you can't look back. Don't you care about her whereabouts?"
Li Qixian's heart trembled when she heard this, and an ominous premonition surged into her heart. She suppressed her fear and gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle Feng, could it be that... he has..."
Guo Chuanlin thought for a while and said: "She had a strong temperament and a tight mouth. She failed to survive the torture and extorted a confession. She fainted and never woke up. The body has been disposed of. In the future, the Huashan Sect will dig three feet into the ground. No traces can be found.”
Li Qixian's hands and feet were cold, his heart was pounding, and he asked, "Will it cause trouble for Magistrate He and his daughter?"
"Maybe, it's easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree. I wonder if the prefect had the foresight to find a support in time."
Guo Chuanlin didn't hide it from her deliberately. Over the past few days, Li Qixian had vaguely guessed that the "backer" mentioned by her junior brother was Huai Wang Liang Zhizhong. She knew that her knowledge was shallow and she was afraid of missing her revenge plan, "Yeah." He groaned and didn't say much.
After a long time, Guo Chuanlin said: "Master left Shibaliping that day and did not go directly to Chaoyang Rock to meet the leader. Instead, he went to Xiaozi Peak to meet Master Feng and asked some strange questions."
finally come! Li Qixian's teeth chattered and his voice trembled as he said, "What... strange question?"
Guo Chuanlin's tone was calm and he said word by word: "Master asked Uncle Feng if she was sure that the man who insulted her on the mountain behind Luoyan Peak was none other than Han Tianyuan, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect. Did she see his face clearly? Or recognized his martial arts. He also asked what Han Tianyuan did when he insulted her, what posture he was in, and whether he had any unusual actions... These old things are untouchable in Master Feng's heart. , so humiliated and humiliated, she flew into a rage and immediately drew her sword and fought against the master."
Li Qixian exclaimed and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands, his face full of horror.
"Master has been on guard for a long time. No matter how hard Uncle Feng fights, he is no match for him. The Huashan sect always pays attention to the respect between elders and younger ones. She was temporarily carried away by anger, but she soon woke up and stopped being aggressive."
"Master saw that she had calmed down and then expressed his suspicions. Back then, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, Han Tianyuan, relied on his 'double collision of acupuncture points' to rape Uncle Qin and Uncle Feng. That is something that the Huashan Sect can never wash away. The shame. More than ten years after Han Tianyuan's death, the only fish in the Qingcheng faction who slipped through the net, Han Tianyuan's nephew Han Bing, reappeared in the world, seeking revenge and raped the only son of Qian Guliang, the owner of Mihang, in Huating Town. My beloved daughter then sneaked up to Luoyan Peak and attacked Ding Qian, the granddaughter of Ding Shuanghe, the head of the Songshan Sect. At least four other women fell into the hands of Han Tianyuan and Han Bing's master and apprentice."
Li Qixian listened to Guo Chuanlin's narration of his father's words, and thought that he had become the wronged soul under the sword of the master. Not only was his reputation ruined, but he didn't even know where his bones were. His mood was agitated, tears fell down, and he sobbed softly, unbearable. self made.
"It was Master who was the first to find Uncle Feng in the back mountain of Luoyan Peak. He also carefully inspected Miss Qian's body. The humiliation of the two people was very similar. It can be said that they are almost identical."
"What's the same?"
That day, Li Yizhu opened a coffin for an autopsy at the ancestral grave of the Qian family. Guo Chuanlin witnessed it with his own eyes and his memory was still fresh. He hesitated for a few breaths, said a few words about the traces left on the body, and said: "At that time, the master asked Master Feng, if internal swordsmanship can be It is passed down from master to disciple without any distortion. Could it be that the same is true for the techniques and habits of raping women?"
"Huh?" Li Qixian obviously didn't understand.
Guo Chuanlin hugged her waist and did not elaborate. After all, she was young and had limited experience. He could understand the implication of Li Yizhu's words, and Feng Di could also understand it. No one would treat those shady hobbies Teaching by words and deeds, not to mention that Han Tianyuan and Han Bing are still uncle-nephew, so there should be more taboos.
"In short, Master believes that there was only one murderer from beginning to end, and it was not Han Tianyuan and Han Bing who were responsible for the murder."
Li Qixian was shocked and said: "What dad means...could the murderer...be someone else?"
Guo Chuanlin was noncommittal, paused and then said: "Uncle Feng said that she didn't believe Master's words and drove him out of Xiaozi Peak with a straight face. In fact, she listened and had doubts in her heart, but she just didn't want to believe it. Otherwise, If so, with her fiery temper, even if she doesn't explode on the spot, she will immediately rush to Chaoyang Peak and ask the leader to seek justice."
"So...Uncle Feng didn't tell the master master this?"
"No, she was tight-lipped and didn't tell anyone." Guo Chuanlin sighed, but she didn't say anything. However, Li Yizhu went to Chaoyang Peak to meet Li Shi and lifted the lid. In the end, his reputation was ruined and his body was gone.
"That's it..." Li Qixian suddenly felt that Uncle Feng was also a pitiful person. He was humiliated, burdened with too many things, had no one to rely on, and could not let go of his obsession until death, just like she escaped from the Quicksand Gang. Same as ever. What would have happened to her if she hadn't been lucky enough to meet Guo Chuanlin? How can the world's hearts be so sinister? Thinking of this, she hugged his arm tighter.
Her mind was in chaos and her heart was beating fast. Li Qixian vaguely felt that she had touched the truth. She buried her head in Guo Chuanlin's chest and said in a low voice: "If dad is right, if the murderer...is someone else, Who could that be?"
Guo Chuanlin said meaningfully: "Yes, if the murderer is someone else, who would it be?"
The two of them fell silent at the same time, and no one tried to say the name that was highly prestigious and respected by everyone.
