"Lie down for a while." Asher said to Oliver, "I'll go out to see what's going on with Mu Hanye, and then I'll come back to help you get dressed."
"Yes." Oliver nodded, watched him leave the room, and then carefully moved out of bed, planning to shush him.
The sprain on his foot was not serious, and he had no problem walking slowly at first, but something unexpected happened. When he was passing by the table, the sword that had been placed on the table suddenly vibrated violently, knocking over a pile of tea cups.
Oliver was also shocked by the success, and his feet slipped and he sat on the ground.
It really couldn't be more miserable.
"Ling'er." Asher heard the noise in the courtyard and hurried in to see what was going on. He saw Oliver sitting in a puddle of water, looking extremely poor.
"Why did you fall again?" Asher picked him up.
... Oliver felt that he needed to burn incense to get rid of bad luck.
While the two were talking, the sword on the table jumped again. Asher picked it up with one hand and completely sheathed the sword's edge with a shake.
"Why did he move on his own?" Oliver was still frightened.
"First, tell me if you are injured." Asher put the person on the chair and took out clean clothes from the closet.
"I'm fine, I was just startled. It moved on its own like this just now." Oliver frowned, "I've never seen it like this before."
"The Red Shadow Sword is an ancient demon sword." Asher helped him change his clothes. "If you haven't seen blood for a while, you will become so restless."
"Will this happen again?" Oliver stood on his head.
"Are you scared?" Asher scratched his nose.
"It sounds like something from the Demonic Cult." Oliver said honestly.
"That's wrong. There is no good or evil in weapons." Asher smiled. "What's important is whether the owner is good or evil."
"Yes." Oliver was curious, "Can I take a look?"
"Of course." Asher took the sword and handed it to him.
It felt very heavy, Oliver pulled it out a little and saw that the sword tip was dark silver with a seal-script word "Qin" engraved on it. It looked quite old, and next to it was a newer word "Shen", with a furry little phoenix in the middle.
"I didn't want to carve it at first." Asher sat beside him, "I always thought that I should be the only one involved in these killings, but then I thought, since we are a family, we should be together all the time."
"I don't even know." Oliver was a little surprised.
"Now I know." Asher held his hand, "Can you cancel the previous dream?"
"Just barely." Oliver raised his head, "Scratch my nose for a bit, it's itchy."
Asher laughed and reached out to help him grab it.
"But we still have to live apart." Oliver looked serious, "This is a matter of principle."
Asher:...
I have been staying by his side for the past two days, and the total time I have been away is less than half an hour, but he has the nerve to fall down twice. Where on earth did he get the confidence to live separately?
But Shen Xiaoshou was very determined.
So Palace Master Qin had no choice but to compromise temporarily.
In the afternoon, the other four brothers of the Mao family also woke up one after another. When they opened their eyes, they saw people in black all around, some serious and some with playful smiles. The scene was a little strange, but they didn't look good.
"Do you still want to interrogate him?" Shen Qianfeng asked Ye Jin after hearing the news.
"No, you go alone." Ye Jin looked disgusted, "What if I see him again? It's so dirty."
"Okay." Shen Qianfeng pinched his cheek, "Then you go take care of Ling'er, Asher and I will go together."
In fact, Shen Xiaoshou also wanted to participate in the interrogation of the prisoner, but due to the objections of his husband, brother, and sister-in-law, he had no choice but to stay in the room unwillingly.
"Some big and thick men are stupid, what's so good about them." Ye Jin helped him change the bandage and frowned after taking it off, "Why is it even more swollen than yesterday?"
Oliver said honestly, "I accidentally pressed it while sleeping."
Ye Jin shook her head, "Wait, I'll go remind Asher that you can't touch your hands recently."
Shen Xiaoshou said dissatisfiedly, "Why should I remind him?"
"Then who should I remind?" Ye Jin was puzzled.
"Remind me." Oliver emphasized, "This is my own hand."
This was true, and Ye Jin was a little confused for a moment.
Oliver continued, "I will take care of myself from now on."
"That's fine." Ye Jin nodded, but didn't ask much, "Then I tell you to remember, do not touch the injury on your hand with water or press it, change Shengji Powder three times a day, and remember to drink Ivy Dew; ankle Soak the sprain in hot water, massage the surrounding meridians to activate blood circulation, apply blood-stasis ointment half an hour before going to bed, and remember to wash it off afterward. Don't eat beef, sheep, seafood, and other irritants. You should also avoid cold and cold stimulation. In the past two days, little Phoenix will Stay here with me first, otherwise it will get worse if you get hit, remember?"
Oliver said honestly, "I don't remember much." Don't say such a long paragraph at once, it's simply complicated.
Ye Jin sighed, "I'd better tell Asher."
Oliver:...
Are you still my sister-in-law if you are so disrespectful to me?
"Independence does not mean not being taken care of by others." Ye Jin said, "Since the two of them are married, their personalities should complement each other. Asher handles the major affairs of the sect, and you are responsible for helping him manage the Gu family's accounts. Isn't this great?"
...But now I am more and more consistent with the rumors! Shen Xiaoshou was full of resentment. As long as he was not around, he would fall down when walking. It couldn't be more embarrassing to be such a fragile little guy.
"He dotes on you because he likes you." Ye Jin said, "How can you push away this blessing that so many people would beg for?"
Oliver immediately thought of Yin Wushuang.
"It's been so many years, Master Yin should have given up on it." Ye Jin knocked on his head, "You don't have to be so guarded."
"How do you know what I'm thinking?" Oliver was shocked. He didn't say anything, but he could still guess it. Could it be that his sister-in-law could also read minds?
If that was the case, then his eldest brother deserved a basket of candles.
"Every time you mention Yinmen Master, you have this expression." Ye Jin said sharply, "I think it's hard not to know."
Oliver:...
"If nothing unexpected happens, we will go to Hansong City soon." Ye Jin continued, "We will definitely meet Master Yin."
Shen Xiaoshou began to groan in his heart.
"Don't act silly then." Ye Jin reminded him.
That won't be nonsense! Oliver burns fighting spirit! The thought of facing off against a vixen makes me very excited.
Must win!
Ye Jin looked at his expression, feeling deeply helpless.
Why does it look like he's going to cause trouble again...
In the next room, the interrogation was also going on happily.
"Why bother to be so stubborn?" The Shadow Palace secret guard said in a gentle and persuasive manner, "Look, Mao Si is very sensible in what he does, so he is eating hot pot next door now."
The remaining four brothers of the Mao family still kept their mouths shut.
"Can I be tortured?" The secret guard of Shadow Chasing Palace looked at his palace master with expectant eyes.
"Whatever." Asher stroked Maoqiu's little head with one hand.
"Chirp." The little phoenix stretched out its neck, desperately wanting its father to tickle it.
It’s simply the deep love between father and son!
Mu Hanye was surprised on the side, "I just asked a question, and now I'm going to start torture?"
"That's right." The secret guard was enthusiastic, "It's a characteristic of Shu. We all have bad tempers."
Mu Hanye praised, "Brother Qin is really awesome."
The secret guard of Zhuiying Palace casually swung the iron whip and swung it heavily on the ground. The barbed iron spikes sank into the ground, bringing up a large piece of wood chips.
The secret guards of Sun Moon Villa and the shadow guards of the Seven Absolutes Nation quietly moved away from them.
The four brothers of the Mao family had originally had illusions about the upright martial arts sects in the Central Plains, thinking that they were just threatening with words and would not really torture them. Unfortunately, the reality was obviously not as expected. The iron whip whistled down with a gust of wind and hit Mao San hard, immediately breaking his ribs and bleeding from his mouth.
Asher gently covered his son's eyes.
The fur ball was very well-behaved. It opened its paws and crawled into its father's arms.
After only one whip, Mao San was already on the verge of death. Mao was extremely angry and shouted, "Stop!"
"If you want us to stop, then you should be sensible and explain earlier." The secret guard of Zhuiying Palace squatted in front of him, "We don't have the patience. After all, Mao Si has compromised, and I guess you won't know more than him. Interrogation is nothing more than that. It's an explanation to the emperor, he really thinks that we are all so free."
"What did he say?" Mao Da was alert.
"I'm interrogating you now." The secret guard smiled half-heartedly.
Mao Da snorted coldly, looking quite tough.
"Then I can only offend you." The secret guard stood up and said to Mao Er and Mao Wu, "You two must be so upright, so I won't distinguish between people this time. After the torture earlier, we still have to go together. Go out to eat."
Mao Wu's eyes were still hesitating, but the iron whip was whizzing down again. The fur ball had just poked out half of his head, but quickly retracted when he saw it, leaving only a small handful of fur outside.
Mao Wu screamed and rolled on the ground holding his arms.
"Since he refuses to say it, he will naturally have to suffer some physical pain." An Wei said, "Otherwise, when the body is sent to the government, there will be no wounds on the whole body. How can it be shown that we have tortured him severely?" Killing people without asking any questions. If the emperor knew about it, he might have random thoughts again, so you can only consider yourself unlucky. "
Big cold sweat broke out on Mao Wu's forehead.
Mao Da wanted to roar, but his mouth was blocked by the secret guards of Sun Moon Villa. He could only glare at everyone with red eyes.
When the third whip fell, Mao Er finally gritted his teeth and said, "I say!"
Asher curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Shen Qianfeng.
Interrogation also relies on scheming. Mao Da is obviously a hard nut, and beating him will be useless, so he blocked his mouth first, and then started with the other two. Although Mao Er has not been whipped yet, he has watched his two brothers suffer, and no one wants to experience the feeling of being bruised and bruised. Moreover, the attitude of the other party is obvious now, that he wants to arrest a few more people to claim credit from the court. In this situation The more you talk, the greater their contribution will be, and the greater your chance of survival will be. The original purpose of joining Zhou Jue's side was to live a good life, but if you lose your life, what's the point of anything else.
"I said that too." Mao Wu coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Mao San was no longer able to speak, and Mao Da's eyes were almost bleeding.
"Very good." Asher stood up, "Take them to different rooms, and ask them to give their confessions after questioning. If anyone has anything to hide, just kill him."
"Yes!" The secret guard rubbed his hands with excitement, as if he was a real murderer.
The acting was solid, and he didn't embarrass Shen Xiaoshou at all.
Mu Hanye said from the bottom of his heart, "This is the fastest interrogation I have ever seen."
It has to be. We have so many things to do every day, so we have to be efficient! The secret guard puffed out his chest with pride.
Asher returned to the bedroom and put his son on the table.
"Chiu!" The fur ball jumped onto Oliver's legs and squatted down obediently.
"So fast?" Oliver was surprised.
"It's just a bunch of straw bags." Asher shook his hand and looked at it, "Have you finished changing the medicine?"
"Yeah." Oliver looked at him, "When are you going to Hansong City?"
"It should be in the next few days." Asher said, "The Mao brothers' affairs have been almost resolved, and the ice and snow on the road ahead have begun to melt. If we don't move now, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to leave again."
Oliver nodded without much opinion.
"I will never let the secret guards carry you down just to watch him dance." Asher raised his hand and promised.
Oliver was amused and patted his ears with a bear paw.
Although the Mao brothers were not heroes, they did make a lot of money for Zhou Jue. After all, shipping bear skins to Luosha Country was one of the most popular businesses. The secret guards spent two or three days to hand over all the results of the interrogation to Asher and others. In accordance with the previous promise, the five brothers were stripped of their martial arts and sent to Hainan as exiles.
The original Jinli Inn was demolished and a new market was being built. Not far away, a dozen carpenters from the royal city were carefully drawing blueprints to build a new inn.
"Thank you so much, sir." Boss Wu expressed his gratitude.
"It's a small matter." Oliver smiled, looking very chivalrous.
After a few days, everyone left Snow Wind City and continued heading north.
Along the way, people watched each other off with great reluctance.
"Cousin." On a small building in the distance, Bai Mangming looked at the man beside him, "Do you want to follow?"
"Has this matter been resolved?" the man asked.
Bai Mangmang said bitterly, "...No."
"So what?" The man looked ahead, with not much expression on his face.
"Okay." Bai Mangmang said, "Keep following."
"Go pack your things." The man turned and walked downstairs, "Don't let anyone else know our whereabouts."
"Yes." Bai Mangmang sighed.
The Liancheng clan has been silent in the Changbai Snow Mountain for hundreds of years. Why did my cousin want to interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, the underworld, and the Zhou family this time?
If my aunt knew about this, I'm afraid there would be another big uproar...
On the second day after everyone left Fengxue City, Boss Wu went to Piaoxiang Tower and specifically asked to see Qiluo.
The other girls were all envious when they heard this, and lamented what kind of incense Qiluo had burned recently, how could the door be so prosperous.
"Boss Wu?" Qiluo was originally drawing her eyebrows in the house. She was a little surprised to see the newcomer and asked with a smile, "Why are you in a place like this?"
Boss Wu waved his hand and said, "Miss, please don't misunderstand me. I'm here to deliver something."
"Send something?" Qiluo put down the brush, "Send what?"
"Before leaving, Palace Master Qin and his group asked me to hand over something to the girl." The boss put a bundle on the table, "The things are here, and I am leaving too."
"Thank you, Boss Wu." Qiluo stood up and saw him out, then went back to the house to open the baggage, and saw several banknotes inside, as well as a letter, stating that she would use the silver to redeem herself, and finally a few more The address of Chuxiufang Rouge Shop is said to be the property of Zhuiying Palace. If you are homeless, you can go there to live. There was no signature, but it was obvious who it was without guessing.
Qiluo shook her head with a smile, raised her head and drank a glass of daughter's red, her eyes a little moist.
Hansong City is not far from Fengxue City, but because there are still a lot of snow and ice on the road, everyone is not going very fast. Oliver would ride horses with Asher at first, but later he caught a cold After that, he started to stay in the carriage all day long, taking a nap and reading in front of the heater, like a cat.
More than 20 days later, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Hansong City. Ye Jin and Shen Qianfeng rode on the same horse. Ye Jin turned around and asked Asher, "When do you plan to go to Wuxuemen?"
Asher said calmly, "I listen to Qian Feng." At this time, you must distance yourself from the relationship, because your little pig is a jealous person.
"I'm afraid you don't have to listen to me." Shen Qianfeng looked ahead, "Someone has already come to pick her up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Oliver immediately stuck out his head from the carriage.
Asher almost laughed out loud.
"Ahem." Shen Xiaoshou also felt that he was a little stupid, so he tried to hide it and said, "Well, get some air."
"It seems that Master Yin is leading someone at the city gate." Ye Jin looked at him, "Are you going to stay in the carriage or come out to join everyone?"
That must be together! Oliver is very serious and his momentum cannot be lost!
Asher dismounted, wrapped the cloak around him, and carried him back to the horse.
"How do I look?" Oliver sat sideways on the horse.
"Good-looking." Asher hugged his waist tightly.
The secret guards were also nodding frantically, wishing they could recite countless poems to praise it immediately, and even wanted to write an ode to the flower demon, so that they could use some advanced sentences like "The fragrance of the faint orchid is in the air, and it walks hesitantly on the corner of the mountain"!
He fully demonstrated the qualities that a crazy fan should have.
But Oliver was still very worried and a little resentful!
Because according to everyone's previous discussion, we would stay in Hansong City and rest for a night before visiting Wuxue Gate tomorrow. So I was completely unprepared and even wore a cotton jacket, looking like a complete ball!
Thinking of the vixen in fluttering white clothes, Shen Xiaoshou felt that he was so weak!
As they got closer to the city gate, the faint floral scent in the air became clearer and clearer. Oliver clenched his fists in his heart. It was indeed a carefully dressed vixen. How despicable!
But I won’t give up!
"Leader Shen, Lord Ye Gu." Yin Luoxue was sent out early in the morning by his brother to wait, so she was in a very bad mood.
"Master Luoxue." Shen Qianfeng got off his horse and said, "Thank you."
"As Alliance Leader Shen is here, Wu Xue Sect should naturally treat him with courtesy." To Shen Qianfeng, Yin Luoxue was still very polite - because although he is Oliver's brother, he is also the leader of the martial arts alliance after all. Jianghu can be like this now He definitely contributed to the stability, not to mention that Ye Jin had given him medicine, so there was really no reason to be hostile. As for Mu Hanye and Huang Taixian, he didn't know them at first, so naturally he wouldn't have any dislike for them.
But for the other two, it was...
"You're fine." Asher jumped off the horse with Oliver in his arms.
"I'm sorry, Palace Master Qin is worried." Yin Luoxue's face was expressionless, and then she glanced at Oliver.
What catches your eyes! Shen Xiaoshou groaned in his heart.
Then I heard Yin Luoxue say, "I think Palace Master Qin must have been very good to Mr. Shen over the years."
Oliver was a little puzzled, because according to previous practice, even if there was no verbal battle between him and him when they met, they should have disliked each other. Why did he start to be polite this time?
Then the answer was quickly revealed.
Because Yin Luoxue immediately said, "Looks a lot fatter than before."
I've gained a lot of weight!
There was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Shen Xiaoshou instantly burst into flames!
He actually said he was fat in front of so many people!
Not fat, okay?
It's just a little fat in the belly, and you can't see it, so why are you pretending to be one of your own?
The victory was over, Yin Luoxue was in a good mood, turned around and Shi Shiran led everyone towards the city. The white clothes are as thin as paper, and the waist is too thin to be held. In Oliver's eyes, Hong Guoguo shows off!
"Do you want me to get it back for you?" Asher asked in a low voice.
"No!" Shen Xiaoshou's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "I want to win it back by myself!"
Shen Qianfeng listened helplessly, "You just let him do whatever he wants."
"Don't worry." Asher smiled, "Ling'er has his own sense of what he can and cannot do. He knows better than me."
Really? Shen Qianfeng's eyes were clearly filled with distrust.
"Originally, my brother was supposed to come, but unfortunately he was not feeling well, so I had to take his place." Yin Luoxue said as he walked, "Please don't take offense, leader."
"Master Yin is sick?" Shen Qianfeng asked with a frown.
"I accidentally collided with my internal energy while practicing a few days ago. It's not a big deal." Yin Luoxue said, "I'll be fine after a while of recuperation."
"That's good." Shen Qianfeng nodded, "The Northeast is at its most chaotic right now. With or without Xuemen, the rebels will be frightened to some extent."
As everyone was talking, a passionate call suddenly came from the front, "Alliance Master Shen."
Looking closely, I saw a man in brocade clothes walking by with a smile on his face, followed by a few followers. He looked like a person of status.
Before Shen Qianfeng could speak, Yin Luoxue was already dissatisfied and said, "Why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to greet Alliance Leader Shen and his party." The man's smile was very attentive.
"Hmph." Yin Luoxue looked him up and down, "No matter who you are here to greet, there is no way you can step into Wuxue Gate, and it is impossible for my brother to like you. It's better to give up as soon as possible!"
