"Senior, you've given me the award and made everyone laugh." Shuojin looked like she was dragging her to the sky yesterday, but today she behaved very humbly.
"I wonder where Master Master came from?"
"Hey, it's not a popular sect. It's just a matter of following the lessons from your parents in order to make a living."
In fact, Shuojin is not a high-profile person. The reason why he is so showy is to attract others' attention, so he has already thought of the polite remarks today.
"Only by seeing, thinking and feeling more can you gain some understanding. In fact, all art comes from life. This is also the reason why I came to Jiangnan this time."
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable at such a young age."
"Senior is laughing."
"Sir, you made this with your own hands, please return it to you!" As he said that, the waiter brought up the hairpin.
"That's not necessary. These materials and tools are all yours. Why don't you just leave this thing in the store. Money is easy to come by, but a confidant is hard to find. Leave it to someone who knows how to appreciate it!"
After saying that, Shuojin took Su Ningqing and left. The two ran away happily together, showing their youth and freedom.
In fact, showing off his edge like this is just Shuojin's first step. The second step is to wait for his "confidant" to take the bait.
"Shuo Jin, I really didn't expect that you still have a few more moments, you are still quite powerful."
"Otherwise! Do you think that I, the Young Pavilion Master of the largest sect in the world, have earned my reputation in vain? Do you think that I got to the position of Young Pavilion Master by relying on soft food?"
"It's not like you're just eating soft food, but I originally suspected that you got here by talking the talk." Su Ningqing said jokingly.
Shuojin was just about to rub Sun Ningqing's face as punishment, but Suningqing dodged and quickly returned to seriousness.
"Can you tell me now why you did this?"
"Senior Xie, it's by no means simple. His strength is no less than that of Zhuang Zhuang. The more skilled people are, the more obsessed they will be."
Shuojin analyzed it logically, but Su Ningqing didn't understand it very well, and just nodded in pretending approval.
"Real masters are not afraid anywhere. They don't need to hide in some hidden place, just like me." Shuojin didn't forget to show off when he got down to business.
"Then you're still wearing a mask." Su Ningqing deliberately teased.
"That's because I'm handsome and I'm afraid that if someone else's young ladies see me, A-Qing will be jealous."
"Stop talking so much, let's go."
"Okay, slow down and wait for me." Shuojin followed behind.
Then, the two of them followed the faint fragrance and found Senior Xie's residence. It was a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. The courtyard was not big, but it looked very quiet. In this lively Jiangnan, you can still find such a place.
It is not easy to find a place suitable for seclusion.
Shuojin and the others climbed over the wall, climbed to the roof, and looked down from the highest point. There were not many houses in the courtyard, but there were indeed many botanical gardens around.
Looking down at the entire courtyard, they saw that only one room had the lights on. Fortunately, they went over and gently knocked on a tile and secretly observed what was going on inside.
Coming early is worse than arriving by chance. As expected, Senior Xie was inside, but there was another person beside him. The two of them talked very carefully inside the room, and there were many guards guarding the door.
Although the sound of the conversation was not very clear, Shuojin and the others vaguely heard that those people were discussing matters about the third prince.
Shuojin and the others held their breath, carefully hid above, and listened carefully.
"No, the emperor really can't keep you."
"The time is not yet ripe, and the emperor cannot be touched now."
"Yes, we haven't received the things yet. If the emperor is gone, then wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"
Hearing this, Shuojin and the others almost fell off the roof.
It turns out that Your Majesty, or the late Emperor, is really not dead yet!
"Besides, that silly bitch Gu Yinmeng protects Bei Mingshuo very closely every day, so it won't be easy to do anything for a while. If the third prince really changes sides, won't we fall short?"
"What are you afraid of? If the third prince knows his true identity, who might he help?"
The amount of information the two talked about was so large that Shuojin and Su Ningqing were stunned for a while.
After a few people finished their brief conversation, the visiting group suddenly disappeared from Shuojin's sight. The group of people walked to a very remote place. After carefully tossing there a few times, they only heard a creaking sound.
, it seemed that a door opened, and all those people followed.
The guards outside the door were still holding the handle tightly, but Shuo Jin and Su Ningqing had no choice but to stand still.
They stayed on the roof for about another hour before those people came out of the house. Although they couldn't hear what they were saying, it felt like they were explaining things. Several people nodded knowingly, and then left.
went.
During the whole process, Shuo Jin and Su Ningqing hid quietly. They waited until Senior Xie and the guards had left before they sneaked into the room.
"Let's search carefully! Be careful in everything." Shuo Jin said seriously.
"Here, I remember they walked here just now."
Su Ningqing walked to the bookshelf based on memory. Unfortunately, what they saw on the roof was not very clear, and the mechanism was in the blind spot of their sight at the time, so they could only judge the general direction and specific location now.
, they have no way of knowing.
"Often the most conspicuous places are the places that are most easily ignored." Shuo Jin stared at the bookshelf and analyzed it.
"Maybe it has something to do with his usual hobbies?" Su Ningqing ventured a guess and complimented Shuo Jin. "My lord, it depends on your ability."
Shuo Jinzai carefully checked the bookshelf and the furnishings beside the bookshelf, but found no mystery. He glanced at the books on the bookshelf and the tools that Senior Xie usually used for crafts.
.
Suddenly, Shuojin's eyes lit up. Some things were placed in very strange places. People usually put things in a certain way. Normally, commonly used things will be placed in a place where they can easily take them. Many people are used to putting them in fixed places.
s position.
However, Senior Xie's items were placed very unnaturally. His items were all placed with the handles facing inward and the sharp points facing outwards, toward himself. This not only made it easy for the hands to become awkward when placing them, but also caused accidental accidents.
It’s also easy to hurt yourself.
Moreover, when competing with Senior Xie that day, Shuo Jin also clearly remembered that Senior Xie probably didn't have any little quirks. When they were competing, Senior Xie's habit of placing tools was the same as everyone else's.
Thinking of this, Shuojin moved the tools slightly.
Just hearing a creak, the door opened.
"Oh my god, Young Pavilion Master, he really deserves his reputation."
Su Ningqing was stunned. She didn't expect that the agency was here. She was stunned for a moment, and she almost applauded Shuojin.
"Let's go." Shuo Jin smiled gracefully and strode forward.
"How did you find out?"
"How do you like to put the knives, scissors, etc. that you use to treat wounds on a daily basis? Do you keep those knife edges facing you?"
"No." Su Ningqing shook her head and said, "That's it. Hey, eh, walk slower and wait for me."
"Okay, let's get down to business."
Shuojin was exploring the way ahead with a small candle lantern, and Su Ningqing grabbed Shuojin's lapel tightly and followed him. It had been a long time since Shuojin had seen Su Ningqing as well-behaved and docile as a kitten.
Looks like this. For a moment, he wished that time could stop and let Suningqing rely on him like this.
The tunnel was very dark, but it was not long at all. Soon they came to the end, where there was a secret room. The decorations in the room were simple and neat.
There is a map in the middle of the table.
The two of them took a closer look, and both held their breath in shock. For a moment, the air seemed to freeze. Shuojin almost dropped the candle in his hand, while Su Ningqing was so frightened that she took two steps back. She kept shaking her head.
His eyes looked very dull.
The terrain on this map is actually so familiar.
"No, no, it's not." Su Ningqing said as if talking to herself.
"Aqing, calm down."
Shuojin put down the candle lamp, hugged Su Ningqing into his arms, and patted her shoulder gently.
"What exactly is their purpose?"
Sun Ningqing frowned tightly, and her eyes became more and more filled with hatred.
That map was both familiar and unfamiliar to both of them. It was the map of Yaowang Valley!
Although Shuojin and Suningqing have never seen a map of Yaowang Valley, they have always lived there, so they naturally recognize these terrains.
Over the years, Yaowang Valley has been very hidden and isolated from the world. If those people didn't have a certain intention, how could they have gone to such great lengths to hide this map so secretly?
"Don't get excited, just stay here, I'll go see what else there is." After saying that, Shuojin smoothed Su Ningqing's messy hair and patted her head gently.
.
"No, I'm with you." Su Ningqing hurriedly grabbed Shuojin.
Shuojin said nothing, he nodded, pulled tighter, and the two of them searched for anything else in the secret room.
After several inspections, the two concluded that those people really had plans for the Medicine King Valley. There was a shelf in the room filled with bottles and cans of various medicinal materials. At first glance, there were about ten or twenty bottles.
Su Ningqing stepped forward and checked them one by one. She thought that people with evil intentions like them must be hiding something shameful. But she unexpectedly discovered that those were just medicines, not poisons, and they were just
They are just some medicinal herbs for health care. If there is anything special about them, they may be a bit expensive.
This made Suningqing even more confused.
After a few more glances, they returned to the middle of the room again.
"Have a good rest. You must be tired after working for so long recently. Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this matter." Shuojin patted Su Ningqing gently to comfort her.
