Big dream 18 years

Chapter 24

After sleeping until it was completely dark, Qin Songfeng woke up with a calm expression. He touched Ji Shuliu's face to wake him up, lit an oil lamp, had dinner with him, and then called hot water to take a bath and change clothes, wash off unlucky.

Ever since they made the agreement that I will marry you and you will marry me, they haven't bathed at the same time, so it's a bit more embarrassing, and they have been facing each other since they undressed.Qin Songfeng soaked the whole thing in the bucket, but Ji Shuliu had too many wounds on his body, so he could only move the stove nearby, stand on the ground and scrub with a towel soaked in hot water.

Ji Shuliu was only halfway through wiping, and Qin Songfeng finished washing, put on his underwear, and took Ji Shuliu's towel to help him wipe.Ji Shuliu was so tense that his whole body became stiff. He pretended to close his eyes, and secretly opened a small slit to appreciate Qin Songfeng's half-naked body by the dim and beating lights.

Qin Songfeng avoided Ji Shuliu's wound very carefully, wiped from leg to foot, even toes, pinched the skin on his calf and said, "It's really dry and cracked, is it because you haven't soaked in your potion recently? "

"Well, I'm too lazy to deal with it. I'll talk about it when I recover from my injury."

Qin Songfeng touched Ji Shuliu's large bruise and abrasion on the outside of his right thigh again: "It hasn't faded yet, I'm sorry." It was when Ji Shuliu admitted to releasing Wang Guitong privately that he kicked it in a fit of anger.

Ji Shuliu opened his eyes and looked at him: "It's okay, you are my wife, I have to let you go."

Qin Songfeng handed over Ji Shuliu's inner coat, and before he pulled the coat over his shoulders, he held his swollen shoulder: "I pinched this too?"

He got very close, and Ji Shuliu couldn't help stroking his wet hair: "When I was a child, I thought about what kind of wife I would find in the future. I wanted to find a good-looking, knowledgeable one, with high martial arts skills and a chivalrous heart." Yes, all wishes come true," Ji Shuliu raised his eyebrows, "I just didn't expect to find such a fierce one in the end."

As he spoke, he suddenly felt a tightness in his back, Qin Songfeng hugged him tightly, pressed against him tightly, and kissed his lips.This time is different from the past, really entangled together, from standing opposite each other to hugging and lying on the bed, until panting before letting go, the two hands still stay in each other's skirts reluctantly, skin to skin , reluctant to part.

Qin Songfeng used his other hand to grab Ji Shuliu's hand that had reached into his lapel: "You're a quick learner."

"Don't underestimate me, I know something too."

"Oh? Who taught you?"

"When I was teaching students, I found that whoever peeked at the miscellaneous books would take them away and return them to him in a month." Ji Shuliu blinked, and pinched Qin Songfeng's chin with the free hand.

After looking at each other for a while, Qin Songfeng withdrew his hand, straightened Ji Shuliu's skirt, touched his still red and swollen shoulders and said, "Next time, I will pay more attention, in fact, I really didn't try hard."

"Nonsense, you are so hard that your bones will crack."

"It's not this kind of strength, I'm useless with ordinary strength," Qin Songfeng said with an innocent face, "I just forgot that you are too tender, if you were someone else, you would definitely not be swollen."

Ji Shuliu leaned over and pulled Qin Songfeng's skirt, and bit him directly on the shoulder, leaving two rows of shallow tooth marks: "Is this fair? Don't worry, I don't think you're fierce."

Qin Songfeng kissed him on the forehead: "I'll pour the water out, and go to bed early today."

After he had been busy and came back to lie down, Ji Shuliu suddenly grabbed him and said seriously: "I have something to ask you."

"what?"

"Feel my pulse, is there any problem?" Ji Shuliu stretched out his hand.

Inexplicably, Qin Songfeng felt his pulse in the dark for a while: "It's a little empty, I have no energy to dance, it's not a big deal."

"Are you sure? I'm not terminally ill?" Ji Shuliu was still not at ease, "When I was fighting with that bookboy Pei Yongguo today, my eyes suddenly turned black as soon as I exerted my strength, which shocked me. And the night before yesterday, that The book boy hit me a few times when he said something wrong, but I didn’t suffer any injuries at the time, and I didn’t feel much pain, but I passed out twice in a row, and I don’t know what’s wrong.”

"You are young, don't always be suspicious. You just lost half a liter of blood a few days ago. Of course, your physique is weaker than usual, and you will be able to make up for it in a year or so."

"That makes sense." Ji Shuliu's worry disappeared, he yawned, hugged Qin Songfeng and closed his eyes with satisfaction.

Qin Songfeng shook his head and said, "Like a child." He also hugged Ji Shuliu gently with his hands.

■

That night, the four people at the Chisu Gate all went to bed early, and the whole house was dark and quiet.When the night was darkest, they were awakened by Sun Chengxiu's knock on the door at the same time.

As soon as she entered the room, she got straight to the point: "I just found out that Qi Bo and Zheng Huan may be the same person."

Qi Bo was the traitor who assassinated the head of Zhao the day before yesterday, and he was also the cell guard who used mystery to lead the suspicion to Qu Ze; Zheng Huan was a young man who only entered the rivers and lakes in recent years. The companion who came to support Sun Chengxiu also hid Sun Chengxiu's knife, which almost caused her to fall into the hands of the thieves.

Qi Bo is alone, has no relatives and no friends, only because of his good reputation for many years, he is regarded as a credible person by the heroes of the Bai Dao. How he colluded with Zui Ribao and why he took the risk to commit murder, everything is a mystery and it is difficult to trace.If he still has the identity of Zheng Huan, it is undoubtedly an important clue. Sun Chengxiu did not dare to delay. After informing Xuan Chongzi, he immediately came to discuss with Qin Songfeng.

At this time, Qu Ze was still tied to the iron plate and could not move, so everyone gathered in Qu Ze's room and listened to Sun Chengxiu's account of the cause and effect.

At dusk today, the heroes of the Bai Dao decided to temporarily put Pei Yongguo under house arrest, and they withdrew from Bixiao Villa in the past few days.Before leaving, they searched for clues for the last time, which naturally included re-examining Qi Bo's body.During the previous inspection, Sun Chengxiu was concerned that the corpse had been stripped naked, so she was not ashamed to participate, but this time she did not avoid it in a hurry, and happened to find a scar on Qi Bo's body, which was very similar to the one Zheng Huan had suffered.That wound was accidentally left by Zheng Huan when she was exercising martial arts with her before, so she remembered and recognized it clearly.

Qin Songfeng asked: "How sure are you?"

"At least [-]%. Their faces are different, but the contours of their faces are very similar, and their bodies are almost identical. I also asked Zhao Zhangmen and Lu Shan about Qi Bo's attack habits. Zheng Huan used hooks, Qi Bo used knives, but They are all known for their complicated moves, and their footwork seems to be born out of the mountain-drilling step of Funiu ancestors a hundred years ago."

Qin Songfeng looked at Qian Rui, and Qian Rui said in a low voice: "When I received Miss Sun's message, I secretly followed Zheng Huan's whereabouts. I found some information, but it was not accurate. In mid-October, there was a The gangster Tuochi Sumen, who was a prostitute and gambler, gave some property to an old couple, and it was quite a lot. The disciples of our school paid attention to it, and asked someone to talk to him, and found out that he was giving it for others. According to what he said, the appearance of that person is really similar to the Zheng Huan that Miss Sun said, he is tall and walks with his feet turned inward."

Everyone was silent for a moment when they heard the words, thinking about each other.Qu Ze took the opportunity to ask Qian Rui about the old grievances between Zheng Huan and Sun Chengxiu, and said with a frown: "There is one more thing I haven't figured out. To assassinate the people on the White Road is the meaning of the entire Zuishi Castle; to blame me is Shang Tong Tian and the others meant it; but who meant to set up a trap to frame Miss Sun? Although Miss Sun had also attacked Zuizun Castle, she was not well-known. Zuiri Castle is currently short of manpower, so it stands to reason that no effort should be made to deal with her .”

Ji Shuliu also tried to say: "Also, are the two letters from Master Pei forged by Zuishibao, and did the person who killed the disciples of the Beiqiu School intentionally leave traces to frame Brother Qin? If so, Zuishibao and The enmity between the Chisu sect was not deep in the first place, so there is no need to make another enemy."

"If you think about the good, this may not be what Zuishibao means." Qian Rui said, "Zuiribao has trained a group of spies to sneak into the Baidao, and Qi Bo may be one of them. There are also disputes on the Baidao. After being on the white road for a long time, there will be some personal grudges, so what they do may not be all based on the orders of Zuishibao. Moreover, Zuishibao and Chisumen martial arts have many similarities. They pretend to be members of Chisumen Much more convenient than pretending to be someone else."

Sun Chengxiu touched the handle of the knife unconsciously, and sighed: "It's hard to tell the spies. If you check too hard, there will be fish that slip through the net. If you check too hard, you are afraid that everyone will be in danger. Thinking about it will give you a headache."

Qin Songfeng smiled and said: "Don't have a headache, we both use knives and swords, so it's enough for my brothers and others to have a headache about finding spies." Then he asked, "Did everyone read the two letters of Mr. Pei later?" Come up with something? Better find out who wrote it."

Sun Chengxiu replied: "No one can recognize the handwriting. However, the head of Zhao found that there was a strange fragrance on the two pieces of letter paper, and there was still a little gold powder left. The owner of Pei Zhuang insisted that it was definitely not dyed by his hands. So the head of Zhao Suspecting that the letter was written by a woman, I specially found the handwriting of several of our women and carefully read it."

"Zuiri Castle also has women." Qu Ze explained from the side, "More than ten years ago, Li Xiao bought a group of dancing girls from the brothel, taught them martial arts for several years, and then rationed them to the men of Zuizunbao. A few women have learned well, went out and killed people, and they didn't stop after they got married."

However, while clasping his fingers on several cases, Qian Rui said: "The night is dark, if there is no other news, let me think about it for another night, and go to discuss with Taoist Xuan Chongzi tomorrow morning."

"Have you seen a new flaw?" Sun Chengxiu was pleasantly surprised.

"It's just a vague idea. It will be concluded after detailed investigation tomorrow."

"Well, I'll go back first, see you tomorrow." Sun Chengxiu cupped his fists as a salute, and quickly disappeared outside the door.

Qian Rui and Qin Songfeng stood in the corner and whispered something, with solemn expressions.Ji Shuliu knew that what they were discussing was extremely confidential, and even he and Qu Ze planned to keep it a secret, so he was slightly disappointed.Soon after they finished their discussion, Qin Songfeng came over and took Ji Shuliu's arm very naturally, and walked back to the bedroom with him. After seeing his beauty, Ji Shuliu immediately forgot all about the disappointment just now.

■

In the early morning of the third day, all the heroes of the White Way withdrew from the Bixiao Villa together, leaving only a few Wudang disciples to protect or monitor Pei Yongguo and others.Xuan Chongzi coordinated the overall situation and arranged for agile people to explore the way. The rest of the people were led by a small group of masters, and those with poor martial arts were in the middle. at last.

With Qian Rui's hard work, everyone has agreed to hand over Qu Ze to Chisumen, as long as he is confined in Qiyan Villa.At this time, Qu Ze was sitting on the ground behind Qian Rui's back, his hands and feet were locked with heavy iron chains, he was so thin that his bones seemed to poke through his skin, but after all, his complexion was much better than when he just left the cell.

The mountain road is relatively wide and there are no special dangers, so everyone left quickly. After a while, there were only three or forty people left at the gate of Bixiao Villa.The dozen or so people who were about to set foot on the mountain road suddenly did not leave, but instead blocked the direction leading to the only way down the mountain.Qin Songfeng took the opportunity to take a step forward, blocking Qian Rui and Ji Shuliu behind him, and Sun Chengxiu also held the knife and moved towards them.

Xuan Chongzi didn't know when, he took the two forged handwritings in his hand again, and said in a deep voice: "Give it to Mr. Pei, it's between you and me. Please stand up yourself, and it will count as yours." You are a spies of Drunken Sun Castle, we will at least respect your courage."

The crowd fell silent for a moment, some understood and some were surprised, but no one stood up.Qin Songfeng sighed inaudibly.

After the silence, there was noise. Some people who didn't know the truth asked each other, and some called Xuan Chongzi to tell the real murderer, but Xuan Chongzi didn't move.After a cup of tea, the closed gate of the villa suddenly opened. A Wudang disciple stood at the gate and pushed out the two tied-up people. It was brothers He Daoyuan and He Daoxian.

Xuan Chongzi said slowly: "On the day Mr. Zheng was killed, it was He Daoyuan and Qi Bo's turn to watch outside the cell door of the villa. We originally thought that Qi Bo used poisonous needles to plot against He Daoyuan, causing him to be unconscious for a while, but we didn't Come to think of it, both of them are pretending to be unconscious, so they set up doubts, trying to excuse the real murderer!"

Head Zhao added: "We only discovered their biggest flaw yesterday. The He brothers were inseparable. That day He Daoxian accompanied He Daoyuan's guard and did not return all night. If He Daoxian was innocent, why didn't he know that the other two fainted outside? What's more, the other two After the incident, he never mentioned the name of He Daoxian, if there were no ghosts in his heart, how could he be like this!"

He Daoxian's mouth was blocked, he struggled hard but couldn't speak.He Daoyuan honestly said with a trembling voice: "I admit it. Gao Yi instructed me."

With a clang, Gao Yi drew his sword out of its sheath and said angrily, "Just based on the one-sided words of these two spies, do you want to convict me?"

Before anyone else could react, He Daoxian finally spat out the rag that had been gagged, and shouted impatiently: "I was the one who ordered Gao Yi, and my brother was implicated by me! I was the one who was caught by Gao Yi , has nothing to do with my brother!" He Daoyuan looked at his younger brother timidly, but didn't say a word.

Xuan Chongzi ignored them, shook his head and sighed: "Gao Yi, you stayed near the He brothers last night until we purposely drew you away."

Gao Yi glared angrily: "What kind of evidence is this! Master Qin Er, I have spoken for you after you were wronged, and now I am being framed, are you indifferent?" He looked at the crowd, as if he still wanted to find someone else He spoke for himself, but his face suddenly turned pale, "Xuan Chongzi, did you intentionally send away all the people I've made friends with?"

Xuan Chongzi continued calmly: "The first time I doubted you was because of the gold powder and fragrance on these two pieces of paper. You often wear a sachet around your waist, and you travel around and like to visit friends in the world. Everywhere you go , will send a gift and a gift list written on gold-sprinkled paper. Before you sent the letter to Master Pei, did you ever sandwich the letter paper between those sprinkled gold papers?"

Gao Yi was speechless for a moment.

Before he could recover and defend himself, two more Wudang disciples carried Qi Bo's body out of the gate of the villa. Sun Chengxiu stood up with several young people and pointed to a scar on the body to confirm that this person was also Zheng Huan. , by the way, told how Zheng Huan went with them, but secretly framed Sun Chengxiu.

"He is Zheng Huan, what does he have to do with me?"

"Zheng Huan has sent property to an old couple for many years. That old couple is his parents, and his mother and your biological mother are sisters."

Xuan Chongzi's words were like a heavy blow. One moment Gao Yi was still the proud and noble young man, but the next moment his brilliance suddenly faded, and his back was no longer straight.He was still holding the sword, but his momentum was lost.

Xuan Chongzi started from the beginning and began to explain the behavior of Gao Yi and others these days.

On the day Zheng Dong was killed, Gao Yi deliberately disclosed the important developments of Zuizun Castle, and discussed with everyone overnight.Zheng Dong's physique is poor and he pays attention to maintenance, so he must step down first, so his guard Kong Xuan has a good chance to kill.

After the murder, Kong Xuan changed into white clothes and made noises near Ji Shuliu's residence, luring Ji Shuliu to follow him outside the cell to watch a scene he had with the He brothers and Qi Bo, trying to dispel the suspects. It's a pity that Ji Shuliu not only didn't say anything about it, but also deliberately pushed everything to Wang Guitong who had already left.In addition, Gao Yi also left a trace on the map that marked the person who lived in each guest room that day, making everyone mistakenly think that the murderer did not know where Mr. Zheng lived.

On the day Head Zhao was attacked, Qi Bo sneaked into the room of Head Zhao, while Gao Yi and the He Brothers were in charge of defense behind the house.Gao Yi secretly carried a thin and soft sword similar to Qin Songfeng's Yanlai Sword, and attacked from behind, killing and wounding two disciples of the Beiqiu School.Although the weapon is not in hand, although the lightness skill is not as good as Qin Songfeng's, Gao Yi has profound skill after all, and he imitated Chi Sumen's swordsmanship to three or four points.

Until Xuan Chongzi finished speaking, Gao Yi still didn't say a word, obviously admitting it.

Before that, Gao Yi's reputation was still very good.He is very angry, and he has not read any books, so he looks like a rich man; he is enthusiastic, but he doesn't know what humility is, and he rarely gets along with others.However, although many ambitious young people don't like to associate with him, they don't hate him. They even hope that he will become more famous, because he makes people see hope. A chance to get ahead.Now that his crimes were leaked, several young people showed regret.

Naturally, Sun Chengxiu, who was deeply affected by it, was not included.Sun Chengxiu grabbed her knife handle, frowned and said softly: "You have a family and a business, you can't be a spy raised by Zuishi Castle, and you come from a wealthy family, so you can't be greedy for money to buy you, so—"

"Caught in a beauty trap?" Someone answered.

But Sun Chengxiu said: "So you must have something in Zui Ribao's hands. The hiding place of the group of people you were responsible for protecting back then was leaked to Zui Ribao by yourself, right? You did it for Zui Ri Fight head-on in the castle, become famous in one battle, and you will not hesitate to gamble the lives of your family members, right?"

Her hands were steady, but her voice trembled slightly. The grandparents who raised her with their own hands died of this incident.

Xuan Chongzi said: "That's why he ordered Qi Bo to harm you. You have been suspicious of this before, so he wants to silence it."

Gao Yi smiled, and instantly regained his usual pride: "I have nothing to say now, I just want a fair fight in the end! Xuan Chongzi, you have a high seniority, and a decisive battle with the younger generation will damage your status. Come on? Qin Songfeng, please! Let so many comrades in the rivers and lakes be a witness, I have long wanted to compare with you, if I can defeat you before I die, it will be worthwhile in this life!"

"Second brother, let me go, I don't mind Gao Yi being old." Sun Chengxiu's voice regained his composure, and he stepped forward and drew his sword.
