Chasing brother for thousands of miles

Chapter 65

-----

Ning Xiumao tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, echoing rhythmically, as if he was thinking about something, he shook his head and smiled in compromise after a long time: "Seventh brother is indeed the seventh brother, I do have such a small relationship with the court."

He took a step back, but Wen Nianyuan frowned, "No, you did it on purpose."

He remembered that when he was in Jinguan City, in front of them, Ning Xiumao frankly accepted the respectful attitude of the prefect of Jinguan City towards him, without any attempt to hide it.

If he really didn't want people to know that he was related to the imperial court, he just needed to vent his breath beforehand, but he didn't, not only didn't, he was still calm when Qixian and Wen Nianyuan came.

He just wanted them to guess.

"It's not necessarily true to say it's intentional." Ning Xiumao pinched the center of his brows helplessly, and sighed helplessly, "If you want to be friends with Brother Seven and Brother Wen, you'd better be honest."

"Oh?" The seven-string ending sound raised slightly, with suspicion, and said slowly: "Brother Ning seems to be honest enough."

"Forgive me, both of you. We are all smart people here. It is better to deal with some things as soon as possible." Ning Xiumao withdrew his fingers from tapping the table, and his expression slightly softened, "There is only one thing, and that is to deal with Qingtong's problem. Above and below, there is absolutely no malice."

This brings us back to the question at the beginning. Ning Xiumao obviously knows that it is impossible to explain too vaguely, no matter what the bottom line is, he has to give a little bit.

"I do have some relationship with the Ning Lanliu family back then. If I have to say it, I can probably be regarded as an old friend."

Wen Nianyuan glanced at Qixian, Qixian was thoughtful, noncommittal to Ning Xiumao's words, eyelashes drooped, looking at his fingers, as if suddenly interested in his round fingertips.

The three of them are very patient people, and no one is confused by such a silent atmosphere. Whether they are standing or sitting, or thinking or drinking tea, it looks a bit picturesque from a distance.

Finally, Qixian took the lead to break the silence, "Brother Ning must have told Qingtong just now that I turned a blind eye to the suspicious case of the Liu family, there must be something tricky."

He didn't wait for Ning Xiumao to refute, and chuckled, "Don't worry, you must have said that, but now, I would like to ask you, since you are an old member of the Liu family, what have you been doing all these years after the incident happened?" ?”

Everyone in the room knew that Qixian didn't really want an answer, the Liu family case was complicated and involved a lot, just as Qixian said before, they all needed a good time.

At this moment, he retorted, but he just wanted to take back the initiative, Qingtong would not believe Ning Xiumao's provocative words to Qixian, but it might not be the other way around.

Ning Xiumao wanted to plot against him like this, and then take his people away leisurely?Hmph, it's a good idea, how can there be such a good thing in the world, dare to fight with him, it's just asking for trouble, Qi Xian raised the corners of his mouth, showing a sly smile.

Wen Nianyuan looked at the arc of his lips from the side, his eyes became deeper, and he concentrated on Qixian's side face, the little complacency in that smile is really eye-catching not enough.

Ning Xiumao was also helpless when he was turned into an army. It seems that he still doesn't understand Mr. Qixian enough. This man has such flaws that he must report, but the other party still hits the nail on the head.

Qingtong didn't trust him very much at first, but he believed in Qixian deeply. With him being such a mess, it seemed that it was even more difficult to abduct that little guy. There is really no way to go with what you should bring.

The building is full of wind, if you don't keep Qingtong in your sight, if there is another unforeseen situation, he will really die without redemption.

Only in this way, he can only be forced to voluntarily bind Qixian and the innkeeper, and automatically become an alliance. With the current situation Qixian is in, it is really beneficial to him.

But... that's okay, he took a deep look behind Qi Xian, a corner that seemed to be deserted.

The rivers and lakes are not temples, he is alone, after all alone and alone, no matter how dangerous Qixian is now, with his ability, he should not be able to take care of himself, and his little lover inn owner is also a big force .

Of course, these are all subsections, what he values ​​most is Qi Xian's mind, the dead souls of the Liu family have waited too long, and it's time to see the light of day again.

Taking a deep breath, Ning Xiumao turned serious, "Since the seventh brother knows that I am related to the court, he should understand that people like us cannot do whatever we want based on our own selfishness."

Qixian nodded, then shook her head again, "Then what can you do now?"

"Now you can do whatever you want." Ning Xiumao smiled freely, "Because now I am really a lonely, innocent quack."

After laughing, he said something in a low voice, Wen Nianyuan heard it, as if it was "Xiaojun" or "Xiaojun", probably a person's name.

However, at this moment, there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing past quickly with killing intent, and he immediately turned back to block Qi Xian, but saw Qingtong appearing out of nowhere, appearing in front of Ning Xiumao in a flash, reaching out and grabbing Qi Xian. his collar.

The expression on his face was extremely frightening, as if he had seen a ghost, and his voice was even more hoarse and shrill, "How do you know this... who are you?!"

"You should have heard it just now, kid." He patted Qingtong's face indifferently, and even grabbed her hand, "I'm just an old friend of the Liu family."

Ning Xiumao looked at Qingtong, didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly gave Qixian and Wen Nianyuan a look, "You have been secretly guarding Brother Seven all these years, so if he has something to do with... Can you see and hear?"

The topic changed too quickly, not to mention Qingtong, even Qixian and Wen Nianyuan were taken aback. Looking at Ning Xiumao's rarely seen angry look, it could be seen from his expression that he was not talking bluntly to change the topic, but rather Really angry about this.

Qixian couldn't help but "puchi" smile, covering her lips, "This old man is so funny."

He and Wen Nianyuan have always been chasing after each other, and it is only recently that they have real skin-to-skin contact. Qingtong is seventeen years old, so he knows what is going on with personnel, and it is worth his fuss.

It's like being his own son.

It's not like, why does a father care about this?Ning Xiumao's extremely angry appearance clearly looks like a nanny.

However, Ning Xiumao was still pressing Qingtong to see if he saw it. Qingtong, who was still imposing just now, was dragged upside down in the palm of the person. What happened suddenly, he heard the name just now and his mind was fluttering, so he couldn't escape.

At this moment, being shaken back and forth and asked him if he saw anything, he was a little ashamed and said angrily, "It has nothing to do with you!"

"You!" Ning Xiumao looked angry at me, but obviously he was reluctant to do anything to Qingtong, so he shifted his target to Qixian, and he was very angry.

Qi Xian was so annoyed by him, as soon as he moved his toes, Wen Nianyuan had already strode forward, seeing that Ning Xiumao was still holding Qingtong with both hands, just in time for him to cover his mouth, and said coldly: "Your Excellency, please be careful. Even if He wants to see it, but I can't let him see it."

Ning Xiumao's face became more and more weird, but at this time, no one cared about this bunch of ridiculous little things, because the faces of the rest of the people began to change.

They all heard it, the voice.

All kinds of voices.

Footsteps, horseshoes, other sounds, subtle, cautious, carefree, calm and rhythmic, brisk...

There is also the ambiguous echo of fluttering clothes, the faint sound of weapons, swords, spears, halberds, spears, whips and shields, all of which are different.

There was a large group of people coming here from all directions, slowly enclosing their small inn and the forest where the formation was set up.

"Young master!" Qingtong broke away from Ning Xiumao's restraint, and looked at Qixian.

Qi Xian nodded, "Go and have a look, be careful."

A blue shadow flashed in the room, and the person was gone. Seeing the worry in Ning Xiumao's eyes, Qixian said softly: "With Qingtong's lightness skill, even if you can't beat him, it's not a problem to protect yourself."

What he said was the truth, and with the ability of crossing the river as a ghost, what he was carrying was a life-saving weapon.

However, Ning Xiumao disagreed, "The world is vast and there are many masters. He hasn't met an opponent for a day, but it doesn't mean that he will be worry-free all his life." He looked at Qixian, then at Wen Nianyuan, and his tone was rare A trace of melancholy said, "Ning Lanliu's family was so prosperous back then, all the children in the family practiced the ghost walk across the river, didn't they leave no one alive overnight?"

This is the dark cloud that weighs heavily on everyone's mind.

With Qingtong crossing the river's current accomplishments, it is already hard to find an opponent, so what kind of terrible murderer can destroy the Liu family overnight, so fast and so treacherous, and none of them escaped?

No, at least one Qingtong survived.

However, he survived, is it really because of luck?

At least for now, no one knows the answer.

The three of them fell into silence for a while, Qi Xian was caught in rumors, the Liu family case was full of fog, the temporary alliance was calculated and guarded against each other, and outside, there were still a large number of people who did not know why.

They are now like crumbling dangerous buildings.

Qingtong came back soon, his face was extremely ugly, his lips were pale, trembling slightly.

But he didn't need to speak, Qi Xian and Wen Nianyuan already knew what happened, because at this moment, someone outside had mobilized their inner strength, and the voice came from afar through the forest like a torrent of bells, clearly hitting everyone's heart every word.

"The devil, Qi Xian, massacred the whole family of the Liu family in order to obtain the secret book of crossing the river ghost step. Fortunately, the orphan of the Liu family reappeared. Now here, there are all the witnesses and material evidence. He deserves to be punished!"

The orphan of the Liu family...Wen Nianyuan looked at Qingtong, and that group of people suddenly used Qingtong as a weapon?But no matter how you think about it, it's not right...

Qingtong took a deep breath and shook his head.

The complexions of the few people sank, didn't the orphan of the Liu family refer to Qingtong?Evidence is all there...

So many people came and surrounded the inn in such a threatening manner, if there is no real evidence, it is impossible to curse the devil with a red mouth and white teeth. It seems that some interesting characters have appeared in the Jianghu.

Qingtong finally spoke, he seemed a little unbelievable, he said in a hoarse voice with some hesitation: "There is a person who can cross the river ghostly... He said that the murderer who killed my Liu family is...Young Master."
