The man in black robe thought for a long time, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "The introduction that escaped last time will not cause any trouble. You are not the only one in Qingzhou City who knows the art of raising a tripod."

The white-faced scholar smiled confidently: "Master, don't worry, the one who escaped was just a failed sacrifice in the first place. The Yin Qi on his body had long been lost before escaping, leaving no trace of the Yangding Technique. Even if it was a fluke, If you were saved and survived, there would be nothing wrong with it."

The black-robed man's expression softened a little, and he nodded slightly and said, "In that case, you can go find eighty-one suitable men and practice the sacrificial refining technique again on the next full moon day."

The white-faced scholar was overjoyed, waved his hand, called a young boy accompanying him, and whispered a few instructions. After the young boy left, he waved his sleeves, and all the red cloths that had fallen on the ground fell on the cage, and a The lifeless iron cage was once again covered tightly.

————————————

It had been snowing for several days, and the sky finally cleared up in the evening. There was an inch of snow in the courtyard, and a narrow and slippery path was trampled in the snow. At this time, it was freezing and wet, and the weather was freezing. , Luokui didn't dare to go out. She only read and practiced calligraphy quietly under the window every day, accompanied by the vast snow.

Also quiet was the Indigo Meng Pavilion. Su Zi and his men had been guarding there for several days, even though they were covered in snow, but they didn't find any flaws in the defense, which almost made Luo Kui suspect that she had misunderstood the matter.

In the evening, the ghost market opened. Jingmo had been planning to go for a long time. Even his dinner was not stable. He only took a few hasty bites. As soon as it got dark, he put on a rouge-red floral cloak and pulled Qu Lian went out. When she went out, she asked Luokui if she wanted to go with him. Luokui shook her head. It was freezing cold and she didn't want to move at all. She only looked through the half-open window. Go out and watch the two figures melt into the night, followed closely by Lilac, wrapped in black clothes and wearing a black hood, flashing past the corridor nimbly. Her petite body is soaked in the black In the dark night, it became increasingly difficult to distinguish.

Su Zi looked at all this and nodded secretly. Ding Xiang's cultivation has been able to advance rapidly. One of the reasons is his extraordinary qualifications, and the other is Du Heng's teaching. He and Luo Kui have the same idea. The time is right and they have to make the decision. The two were good at it. He turned around and lit up the wick, took the scroll and clapped his palms, and said in a deep voice: "Luokui, I always look outside from a distance. I'm afraid I can't see anything. I think it's better to Let’s go in and take a closer look.”

Luo Kui thought: "Of course you should go in and take a closer look. But with your cultivation level, it is naturally easy to escape intact, but it is difficult to explore the way without alerting the snake. After all, Indigo is also a person with a certain cultivation level." He has a huge monastery and has raised many masters. It would be a sin to frighten them and hurt innocent people."

Su Zi hit the table below hard, causing the small colorful flower bowl to jump and almost fall to the ground and smash into pieces. There was a murderous look in his eyes: "These beasts are really hateful. According to my past nature, I will kill them all." It’s not an exaggeration.”

Luo Kui lightly touched his shoulder and gently advised: "

Why would I want to endure it? If it were in the past, it wouldn't be difficult for you and me to join forces and kill them all. But it's a pity that things are no longer the same as before. Besides, Indigo can't kill all the people involved. We have to keep those who are alive. , and we want to avenge those who died in vain, so killing them all is not a good idea, we have to plan carefully."

Su Zi patted her hand with his backhand and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the most depressed person in these years was not himself, but Luo Kui. He could still go to the ends of the world with his sword to relieve his depression, cut off his past, and find the world. There was a glimmer of hope in the world, but she could only be trapped in this small space. No matter whether it was pain or happiness, she could not get out.

Luokui raised her lips and gave a sneer: "You and I both know who Indigo is. I'm afraid that this matter will eventually fall on King Lin, but it's fine, no matter if it's to break another King Lin Arms, or for the sake of those innocent children, you and I cannot just sit back and ignore this matter."

Su Zi nodded and said: "There is an extremely uneasy situation in the DPRK right now. Qu Tianxiong also intends to stir up the hatred between the Zhengyang Dao and the Bloodthirsty Dao. We cannot allow us to act slowly. Killing two birds with one stone is not bad. Qu Tianxiong cannot be moved. It’s also good to move indigo.”

It was freezing cold, and Luokui had a cough. After drinking the decoction, his throat was not itchy anymore, but his appetite was greatly reduced. After the commotion in the palace that day, Yun Liangjiang has not been seen again. But he didn't know where he learned that Luokui had an old illness, so he asked Suzi to bring Guangyiju's snacks. The fine white puff pastry was wrapped with maroon rose-scented bean paste filling, made of Plum blossom-shaped, sweet but not greasy, layer by layer on a white porcelain painted plum blossom-shaped shallow plate, which made her very stomach-churning. She looked at the snacks, and there seemed to be a pair of smiling eyes trembling in the mouth of the plate. She couldn't help but smile: "How's the ginger?"

Su Zi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The princes made a big fire and hung Liang Jiang in the front hall and beat him up. He also called everyone in the Hefu to watch the execution. In the past few days, the princes have been preparing for him. Talking about marriage, I heard that I have seen many girls, but he was so picky that he angered the princes, and they beat them again. Now they have more injuries, and they can no longer get out of bed. Those who are well-matched Seeing that the situation is not good, the family is afraid that the girl will die before she is married and his reputation will be bad, so they are unwilling to discuss marriage with the princes. Liangjiang, now he is the most unlucky person in Qingzhou. "

"Did you send me the medicine?" Luokui smiled thoughtfully, a slight sadness flashed in her eyes. After all, she had too many people and things that she couldn't let go of, and there were too many people and things that she had to let go of.

Su Zi raised his hand and gently brushed her shoulder, and nodded solemnly: "Send it to him, and tell him to calm down. When Liehou calms down, his life will be easier."

"Liang Jiang cherishes his life and will not do stupid things." Luokui slowly sipped every bite. Unknowingly, she ate two pieces and drank a cup of tea. She felt full and satisfied. , tapped the table with two fingers and said slowly: "Now Bai Qing from the Ministry of Revenue is using the Yongzhou corruption case to thoroughly investigate the treasury accounts and recover the accumulated debts. I sent Jianchou to protect him personally, except for the editor. Joined the Prince's Guards

Shadow Guards, I have sent dozens of more Shadow Guards to keep an eye on the hidden banks and major corruption evils in Qingzhou City to prevent them from escaping or transferring their property outwards. We are indeed short of manpower. Allow me to explain. Think carefully before going."

A sudden night wind blew off the snow that had accumulated on the eaves for a long time, and fell in the courtyard with a rustling sound, as if it had snowed again. The old plum tree under the window had its green branches slanting horizontally. Two branches were peeked through the half-open long carved window, and bright yellow flower bulbs bloomed on them. The cold fragrance was faint, and when the warm charcoal gas in the room was smoked, the floral fragrance became a little sweeter and more fragrant.

Su Zi looked back, glanced at the silent snow, and asked, "Where's Kong Qing? Why don't you see anyone else? If he is here, we can definitely find out some clues if we go together."

The copper Boshan stove on the long table under the window curled up with light smoke, and a pair of smiling cold eyes loomed in it. Luo Kui held her chin and stretched out her hand to flick the light smoke in boredom: "When you don't need it, it hangs in front of your eyes all day long. When you do, There was no one around when I was sitting there, this is just being lazy and taking advantage of others."

As soon as he finished speaking, a light laugh came from the window: "I saw that you two were thirsty after discussing the matter, so I kindly went to make tea for you, but instead you said that I was lazy. I really bitten Lu Dongbin and didn't know how to do it. People’s hearts.”

Su Zi clapped his hands and laughed: "You are so afraid of Luokui that you don't even dare to say the word "dog bites".

Kong Qing came in carrying a copper pot with a long spout and double blessing patterns. The spout was filled with hot air. He was originally a steady and unsmiling person, and he was rarely talkative and thoughtful. However, after spending so much time in the Shui family, he was also rarely He was a little more sincere about his words and more playful and casual. Hearing Su Zi's words, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Of course I'm afraid of her. She has a high position. If I make her angry, she won't do it." If you owe me this favor, how can I explain it to my clan?"

The water flowed steadily from the spout of the pot, and the room was filled with the aroma of tea. After saying this for a long time, Luokui was really thirsty and a little greedy. She moved her eyes to look at the snacks in the porcelain plate. As soon as she reached out to pick up a piece, she was Su Zi followed it and said, "Eat less at night and save food carefully."

Luokui pursed her lips aggrievedly, pinched her fingers and gestured: "I only have a small taste of Guangyiju's plum blossom cake."

Su Zi smiled and broke the snack in half, and then in half again. In the end, there was really only a small mouthful left and stuffed it into Luokui's mouth. Although it was only a small mouthful, she was very satisfied and looked at Kong Qing with a smile: " Is this a favor so easy to owe? I think you owe me a favor and I feel very happy and feel at ease when you owe me a favor."

"The so-called favor exchange means the favor you owe me. I owe you the favor. I owe it back and forth. If I owe a lot, I can't pay it off. That's why there is a transaction. So, what's so terrible about owing a favor? Yes, what I'm afraid of is that I don't owe anyone any favors, and I have no dealings with anyone. Kong Qing's joy of being indebted to favors means that he understands the art of favors." Su Zi kept telling a lot of truths as soon as he opened his mouth. , it’s obviously all nonsense, but it sounds quite reasonable.

Luokui rolled her eyes at him fiercely: "This is what you are good at, you can convince people with false reasoning." She thought deeply and said: "Young Master Qing, since you heard it, I won't hide it anymore.

, I have taken care of that girl’s grievances, and I am determined to poke a hole in the hornet’s nest of Indigo. If you are willing to help, just go with Su Zi.”

Kong Qing smiled without hesitation: "You don't pay attention to indigo and indigo, so naturally I don't take it either. I'm happy to help with this matter."

Su Zi high-fived and smiled: "Okay, let's go to the Indigo Mongolian Pavilion tonight."

The two had a similar odor and hit it off immediately. They went around behind the screen, changed into inconspicuous night clothes, and went out under the cover of night.

"You have to be extra careful. It doesn't matter if you can't find any clues for a while. Don't reveal your whereabouts." Luo Kui leaned against the door, watching the two go away, and chased after them softly.

Su Zi remained silent, only raised her hand and waved it to reassure her.
