Chapter 679: The Old Fox and the Master

When Qin Shaoyou said 'Eunuch Qin', his speech speed suddenly became faster and a little vague, which made Xue Xiaobao, Monk Ma and others think that he was talking about 'Eunuch Qin'.

No one thought of Lao Zhang looking over the eunuch.

Because the appearance of Lao Zhangtou is far different from the eunuch in their impression.

This old Zhangtou is not only tall and tall, but also has a beard. He is completely different from the feminine and white-faced eunuch on the stage. Instead, he looks like a Confucian general with both civil and military skills.

Only Lao Zhangtou knew that what Qin Shaoyou called was not "Qin Gong".

After a brief moment of shock, he regained his composure and said, "The name is just a code name. You can call me whatever you want."

This sentence is tantamount to acknowledging his identity.

He is Qin Lin, the eunuch who disappeared mysteriously.

And that kid...

Qin Shaoyou turned his attention to the little boy riding the same horse as Wenzhu.

I don't know why, but there is something familiar and close to this little boy.

It was obviously the first time they met.

Qin Lin didn't say a word, but quietly put her hand into her sleeve and held something.

Qin Shaoyou noticed his reaction, looked back, and showed a smile that he thought was very kind.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Qin, I have no ill intentions."

Qin Lin stared into his eyes, as if to determine whether he was lying, but she did not immediately activate the supernatural item in her sleeve.

At this moment, Monk Ma noticed something hidden in Qin Lin's sleeve and wanted to reach out to collect it, but Qin Shaoyou stopped him: "Don't be rude to Duke Qin."

And his move also convinced Qin Lin that he did not have any malicious intentions.

Although Qin Lin still didn't stretch out her hand, her expression softened a lot.

"I'm curious, how do you know these two titles? Did Liu Yushi tell you? Where are they?"

Qin Shaoyou shook his head and said: "I did meet Liu Yushi, but he lost his soul and became a living dead. He couldn't speak at all, but he is safe. Zuo Qianhu is taking care of him and trying to summon his soul.

.”

Hearing that Liu Shuyuan had become a living dead, a trace of sadness flashed across Qin Lin's face.

He was just sad, not surprised, which meant that he had already guessed such a result.

And this also proves Qin Shaoyou's previous guess: Liu Shuyuan detoured to Qingtang after the "Raft River Case", and he was indeed using himself as bait to help Qin Lin and the prince distract the pursuers.

He succeeded, but he also failed.

After Qin Lin sighed softly, she turned to the child on Wenzhu's horse and said, "Young Master, loyal people like Liu Yushi should be kept in mind and must not be forgotten."

The little boy looked serious, raised his hands and replied: "Don't worry, Master, I will never forget it."

Xue Xiaobao looked at Qin Lin, then at the little boy who was a few years younger than him, and his heart was full of doubts.

Judging from the titles, these two people are both master and servant, as well as master and apprentice. It seems that there are many stories in it!

Xue Xiaobao met the two of them by chance. He didn't know much about these two people as his brother-in-law did.

Xue Xiaobao wanted to ask, but couldn't.

A ball of invisible air blocked his mouth.

Xue Xiaobao knew that his uncle must have covered his mouth with blood to prevent him from speaking.

Xue Xiaobao is no stranger to this kind of experience.

In the past, at home, whenever my mother punished my father and he wanted to stir up trouble, his father would cover his mouth with blood and prevent him from speaking.

After a few times, Xue Xiaobao also found a way to point his finger directly at his mouth and whine. Xue Qin's anger would soar when he saw it.

Even if Xue Qingshan later learned to be smart, he would not only cover Xue Xiaobao's mouth with his blood energy, but also tie up his hands and feet.

Unfortunately, it was of no use. When Xue Qin saw that Xue Xiaobao couldn't move, she knew that Xue Qingshan had done something wrong, and then she was treated like a family.

But the method used to deal with dad is obviously useless when applied to my uncle.

Xue Xiaobao could only accept the reality helplessly and planned to wait until later to find an opportunity to ask his doubts.

Qin Lin turned her attention to Qin Shaoyou again, without speaking, but her eyes were filled with questions, waiting for a reply.

Qin Shaoyou understood his gaze and replied: "When I was investigating other cases, I found some clues related to you. After putting them together, I analyzed them thoroughly."

Qin Lin's eyes flashed with surprise again.

"Did you analyze it yourself? There are indeed many talented people in this Demon Suppression Department..." After a pause, he asked seriously: "How many people know this news?"

"In addition to me, there is also a leader of the Red Envoy. When I found Fulong Temple, I already sent her a message. I believe she will arrive soon."

"Red-clothed envoys? They are still trustworthy." Qin Lin breathed a sigh of relief, then raised her eyebrows slightly: "There are red-clothed envoys coming to Yizhou? Are you attacking the King of Shu?"

Qin Shaoyou nodded and said, "That's right. How did Mr. Qin know?"

"This is not difficult to analyze."

Perhaps because she heard the news that King Shu had been arrested, Qin Lin had a smile on her face.

"It's impossible for the red-clothed envoy to come to Yizhou for no reason. If Liu Yushi passed the news to the capital, it wouldn't be surprising if they came here. But you just said that Liu Yushi lost his soul and became a living dead. So.

The red-clothed envoys came to Yizhou not for us. And recently, I haven’t heard of any particularly big demon outbreak in Yizhou. Therefore, the red-clothed envoys came to either support the Qingtang front line or to clean up the situation.

King of Shu."

"Then why did Duke Qin not guess that they were going to support the Qingtang front line?"

A sly smile appeared on Qin Lin's face: "If you denied it just now, then I would guess that they are going to support the Qingtang front line."

Another old fox.

Qin Shaoyou sighed secretly in his heart.

Qin Lin was able to make so much analysis and draw conclusions with just a few words, and at the same time she deceived herself. She was worthy of being the internal minister of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

In fact, there are still many questions in Qin Shaoyou's mind, but at this time and here, many topics are not suitable to be discussed in depth.

Qin Lin obviously knew this too.

So the topic shifted to Xue Xiaobao.

Qin Lin first thanked Xue Xiaobao for his generous rescue.

"If this kid hadn't drawn a sword to help us when we were in trouble, we would have fallen into the hands of thieves. I just heard you call this kid Xiaobao? At such a young age, Xiaobao can speak Confucian mantras and wield a heavy sword.

...I wonder which great scholar he studied under?"

Qin Shaoyou is also very curious.

Xue Xiaobao's skills were definitely not something that the old gentleman in Luocheng Academy could teach him.

That old gentleman could be frightened and sick for several days by the word "槐". How could he teach such a weirdo as Xue Xiaobao?

Unless his previous performances were all fake, but that's unlikely.

Seeing that Xue Xiaobao remained silent, Qin Shaoyou patted him on the head.

"Qin Gong asked you, where did you learn this skill?"

Xue Xiaobao was not happy after being slapped, and blurted out: "Can your mother-in-law speak with her mouth blocked? Eh..."

He was surprised to find that the blood covering his mouth disappeared.

Then he turned around and saw his brother-in-law's dark face.

"Uncle, I was wrong."

Xue Xiaobao decisively gave in.

Anyway, Xunzi also said that one must be able to stretch and bend. He, Xue Xiaobao, should keep Xunzi’s words in mind and become a good man who can stretch and bend freely.

Qin Shaoyou took a deep breath and did not scold Xue Xiaobao.

Who allowed this child to be his own nephew?

Anyway, I'm going to whip him when I get back, so I'll give him two more hard whips then. How can a scolding be as memorable as a spanking?

Xue Xiaobao obviously did not expect that the world was so dangerous. Seeing that his uncle let him go, he breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed his hands to Qin Lin, and then replied: "My skills are all taught by Master."

Qin Lin laughed dumbly: "I know it was taught by Master You. What is your Master's name?"

"Master, just call me Master." Xue Xiaobao said seriously.

Qin Lin was stunned for a moment, thinking that Xue Xiaobao was still young and didn't know his wife's name. She didn't ask in detail, and said: "Your wife must be a reclusive scholar. If there is a chance in the future, I will pay him a visit and talk to him."

He sat and talked."

Qin Shaoyou frowned and asked Xue Xiaobao in a low voice: "The master you are talking about is not a teacher in the school, right?"

"Of course not." Xue Xiaobao said: "The teachers in the school only know how to ask us to endorse or make us stand. How could they teach me these skills?"

Sure enough, Xue Xiaobao has another teacher!

Qin Shaoyou immediately asked: "Where did you meet this master who taught you this skill?"

"The Confucian Temple."

"The Confucian Temple in Luocheng?"

"yes."

Qin Shaoyou really didn't expect that there was actually a great Confucian hidden in the Luocheng Confucian Temple...

So, is this an existence similar to the sweeping monk in the Sutra Pavilion of Shaolin Temple?

Qin Shaoyou immediately made a decision. After returning to Luocheng, he would go to the Confucian Temple to see who this master was and what his purpose was in teaching Xue Xiaobao his skills.

At the same time, he had another question: "Does your wife know that you slipped out this time?"
