"Second Young Master, a body was found on the edge of a cliff two miles away from Xiangguo Temple..."
"Corpse?" There was a bang in Ding Shaoyu's head, exploding like thunder, causing him to stagger. If it weren't for the support of the servant beside him, he would have fallen to the ground. As soon as he regained some consciousness, he grabbed the servant's hand.
, asked nervously, "Have you seen it clearly? Is it really a corpse? Is it really dead?"
"It's really a corpse. It has been dead for a long time, and the corpse is cold and stiff..."
The servant's answer made Ding Shaoyu's feet weaken and he slumped on the ground. Zhu Jianchun's face was not much better, as white as paper. The paper fan in his hand fell to the ground without knowing when, and he murmured to himself, "Why?"
Will she die? Ye Xiao should be protecting her personally, so how could she die? Didn’t Ye Xiao secretly follow her every day? How could she die? Ye Xiao’s kung fu is so high..."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. When Zhu Jianchun said that Ye Xiao was following Su Xiaoxiao, Ding Shaoyu tried to calm down. After recalling what the servant said, he realized that the servant only said that he found a body, not that it was Su Xiaoxiao's body. He thought
Here, Ding Shaoyu felt infinite hope in his heart. He calmed down and asked, "Please be more detailed!"
"There are four corpses in total. Each corpse was stabbed in the neck with a fatal blow. By the way, the second young master, the younger one found this next to one of the corpses."
As the servant said, he handed the thing he found to Ding Shaoyu. When Ding Shaoyu saw the thing, his vision went dark and he fell straight down. It took him a while to wake up, and when he opened his eyes, tears fell down.
A man doesn't shed tears easily because he hasn't reached the point where he feels sad.
What the servant brought back was a red bead string. It was specially given to Su Xiaoxiao by Ding Shaoyu. It is called the ruby fragrant bead string. It is a tribute from the Ryukyu Kingdom. This is the only string that is worn around the neck. It is warm in winter and cool in summer.
It was very comfortable. Seeing that summer was coming and Su Xiaoxiao was afraid of the heat, Ding Shaoyu begged the eunuch in the palace and spent a lot of money to buy this string of ruby fragrant beads from Concubine Wan Gui.
He still remembered that when he brought this string of fragrant beads to Su Xiaoxiao, Su Xiaoxiao jumped up and kissed him. At that time, the two of them were so sweet and so happy.
, he just didn't come home for one night, and the world and the people were separated forever, how could he bear this sudden bad news.
Xiaoxiao is dead...Xiaoxiao is dead...then what's the point of living? Then what's the point of him working so hard and giving everything he has?
Xiaoxiao is dead...or is there any meaning...
The words "Xiao Xiao is dead" echoed repeatedly in Ding Shaoyu's mind, but his tired face suddenly looked haggard.
"You said that the four corpses were all killed by a sword?" Compared with Ding Shaoyu, who was heartbroken and grief-stricken, Zhu Jianchun was obviously much calmer. When the servant nodded, Zhu Jianchun actually showed a happy smile on his face.
Ding Shaoyu glanced at Zhu Jianchun in confusion. He was still so happy after Xiao Xiao was in trouble!
But now Ding Shaoyu was so distraught that he didn't even have the strength to speak. He didn't care why Zhu Jianchun was so happy. After finally regaining some strength, he called his servant and said, "You guys go and carry the young lady back. Remember."
Be careful not to hurt her, she is most afraid of pain..."
Speaking of this, Ding Shaoyu's tears fell again. Yesterday, she was acting coquettishly in his arms and talking back to him, secretly kissing his face, his eyes, and his lips from time to time. But today, she has died. How can Ding Shaoyu not feel heartbroken?
How not to feel sad?
"Young Madam?" Several servants looked at each other. Seeing them all standing still, Ding Shaoyu said angrily, "Don't you want to? You don't want to! I'll go pick Xiaoxiao back up myself!"
After saying that, he was about to struggle to leave, but Zhu Jianchun held his sleeve, "Don't worry, Master Ding Er, Xiaoxiao is not dead! Those four people all died under Ye Xiao's unique swordsmanship, and Ye Xiao liked it the most.
He is also the best at sealing his throat with a sword!"
Ding Shaoyu looked at Zhu Jianchun hesitantly, although he wanted to believe Zhu Jianchun, but the red jade fragrant bead string unique to Su Xiaoxiao.
"That's right, Second Young Master, those four corpses are all men! Where do you want us to carry the young lady back?" As soon as the servant opened his mouth, Ding Shaoyu was so happy that he almost fainted. He rushed over and nervously grabbed the servant's clothes.
Leader, "You said those four corpses are all men? Not women? Not the young lady? The young lady is not dead?"
"I don't know whether the young lady is dead, but the four corpses are indeed men! This fragrant bead string was found next to one of the corpses."
"It turns out that Xiaoxiao is not dead...It turns out that Xiaoxiao is not dead..." Ding Shaoyu murmured to himself like a madman, and suddenly laughed up to the sky, "It turns out that Xiaoxiao is not dead, God, thank you! Thank you!"
"Why don't you take me to the scene of the accident?"
Zhu Jianchun returned to normal faster than Ding Shaoyu. In front of everyone, he picked up the paper fan that he had dropped at an unknown time and shook it gracefully. Ding Shaoyu also recovered quickly and asked his servant to lead them to the scene of the accident.
.
The large group of people soon arrived at the place where Ye Xiao killed four assassins last night. As expected, every corpse had eyes wide open and a dazzling blood mark on its neck.
"It seems that someone wanted to assassinate Xiaoxiao, but they were discovered by Ye Xiao who had been protecting Xiaoxiao closely, so he killed them..."
"You said Ye Xiao has always been protecting Xiaoxiao, why didn't I know?"
"How do you know?" Zhu Jianchun retorted rudely. Seeing Ding Shaoyu's deflated appearance, Zhu Jianchun felt much better. Ye Xiao liked Xiao Xiao. Zhu Jianchun already knew that. That time he and Ye Xiao drank, and Ye Xiao had a poor drinking capacity.
He quickly got drunk and kept calling Su Xiaoxiao's name. Later, in front of Su Xiaoxiao, there was a scene where Zhu Jianchun threatened Ye Xiao with this matter. Ye Xiao also had something in Zhu Jianchun's hands.
Unable to argue, Su Xiaoxiao mistakenly thought it was Long Yang.
"Ye Xiao has superb martial arts skills. These killers are no match for Ye Xiao. However, after Ye Xiao rescued Xiaoxiao, where did they go? Logically speaking, Ye Xiao should have sent Xiaoxiao back to Ding's house as soon as possible.
Zhu Jianchun speculated. Seeing that Ding Shaoyu was only observing the surrounding environment carefully without saying a word, he asked in confusion, "Why don't you speak?"
"What you said is what I wanted to say, what else do you want me to say?"
At this moment, Ding Shaoyu just wanted to find Su Xiaoxiao as soon as possible, and his words could not help but be disrespectful. Zhu Jianchun was also worried about Xiaoxiao, and did not care about Ding Shaoyu's rude words.
"Did Ye Xiao elope with Xiao Xiao?"
"Isn't Night Owl Long Yang? Why did he elope with Xiaoxiao?" Seeing that Ding Shaoyu was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck was blue, Zhu Jianchun deliberately pretended to be a little secretive, waving his fan and pretending to enjoy the scenery. Ding Shaoyu saw that Zhu Jianchun didn't speak, and felt anxious, so he had to
He lowered his head and said, "The common people are really worried about my sister-in-law, and please ask the prince to tell me the truth."
With a "pop" sound, Zhu Jianchun slapped the paper fan in his hand, and said slowly and unhurriedly, "Actually, I don't know the truth, I just know that Ye Xiao is not Long Yang, and..."
"And what?"
As soon as he heard that Ye Xiao was not Long Yang, Ding Shaoyu was ready to hit the wall. Xiao Xiao stupid, how could he be as stupid as Xiao Xiao? He actually thought that Ye Xiao was Long Yang. It was all his fault that he was misled by Xiao Xiao!
"And Ye Xiao likes Xiao Xiao very, very much. His affection for Xiao Xiao is no less than yours!"
"Xiaoxiao is mine..." Seeing the smile on Zhu Jianchun's face that was more cunning than a fox, Ding Shaoyu's heart sank and he changed his words, "Xiaoxiao is my sister-in-law. I'm worried about her just because my eldest brother asked me before he left.
I take care of my sister-in-law!"
"Really?" Zhu Jianchun just smiled and did not expose Ding Shaoyu's lies. Anyway, he had caught Ding Shaoyu's weak point now and had plenty of time to play with him slowly, not in a hurry.
The top priority now is to find Su Xiaoxiao. Otherwise, without Su Xiaoxiao's trump card, Ding Shaoyu may not be able to be tortured. Thinking of this, Zhu Jianchun deliberately ignored the worries about Su Xiaoxiao deep in his heart.
"Second Young Master, there is nothing found nearby!"
Ding Shaoyu waved his hand and asked his servant to continue searching, while he wandered around.
"Ding Shaoyu, don't swing around, you'll make me dizzy!" Zhu Jianchun didn't know why he was so out of control.
Is he really just afraid of losing Su Xiaoxiao's ace card? Zhu Jianchun asked himself in his mind more than once, but he couldn't get a definite answer.
Ding Shaoyu seemed not to have heard Zhu Jianchun's words, and was still wandering around in front of Zhu Jianchun's eyes, stopping from time to time as if he was thinking about something.
"Ding Shaoyu..."
"I'm feeling where Xiaoxiao is, don't make any noise!" Ding Shaoyu was interrupted twice by Zhu Jianchun, and he glared at Zhu Jianchun angrily. Zhu Jianchun, who was already full of sullenness and had nowhere to vent, was contradicted by Ding Shaoyu, and almost wanted to ignore his demeanor and kindness.
If Ding Shaoyu had a fight, it would be best to knock him off the cliff and throw him to death. However, seeing that Ding Shaoyu acted as if nothing had happened, and seemed to be really sensing Su Xiaoxiao's position, he could only suppress his anger.
"How's it going? Do you feel it?"
Seeing Ding Shaoyu walking around all the time, Zhu Jianchun couldn't help but ask again. Ding Shaoyu looked up at him and shook his head, "No!"
"You!" Zhu Jianchun was so angry that he pointed his fan at Ding Shaoyu, his face turned blue. Ding Shaoyu ignored the depressed Zhu Jianchun and looked at the towering mountains in the distance silently. At this time, a cool breeze blew by.
At this moment, Ding Shaoyu was worried about Su Xiaoxiao's safety and was so upset that he couldn't calm down and think. When the cool breeze blew, the fog in his heart seemed to be blown away. He suddenly became enlightened. He calmed down and slowly closed his mind.
Eye.
Su Xiaoxiao's breath seemed to drift in the wind, light and faint, with the charming fragrance of jasmine. Ding Shaoyu slowly moved forward looking for that familiar breath.
"Ding Shaoyu, cliff! Be careful!"
Just when Ding Shaoyu almost stepped off the cliff, Zhu Jianchun suddenly shouted. As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhu Jianchun regretted it. Why didn't he let him fall to his death? Then he thought about it, if he died, how could he still torture him?
He? Thinking of this, Zhu Jianchun felt relieved again, thinking that he kept him alive in order to torture him better in the future!
Ding Shaoyu glanced at Zhu Jianchun. Although he was puzzled, he was more grateful. His probing eyes slowly turned towards the abyss of the valley, which was filled with mist and bottomless.
