After Huangfu Xiaoyuan said this, she quietly waited for Xi Qiu's response. She walked into the cell and sat directly opposite the other party. Their identical appearance made the two of them look like the inside and outside of a mirror.
Both sides.
After a long time, Xi Qiu spoke, and her first question was: "Where is the real Junior Brother Qiao now?"
Now that things have happened, if she can no longer understand that there is something wrong with that "Qiao Shifang", then she will really be sorry for the teachings of the Xiaoyao Sect over the years.
"'Qiao Shifang' is indeed a good Jinyiwei Xiaoqi." Huangfu Xiaoyuan said slowly.
Xi Qiu lowered her eyes in silence, and said softly: "After all, Jinyiwei is more skilled, but at least Junior Brother Qiao still has his life, and Junior Brother Shifang must be able to rest in peace underground."
"..." Huangfu Xiaoyuan didn't say anything. Judging from what she saw, the Jinyi Guard Qianhu named Qiao Shifang had plotted against Lu Hanjiang. If he didn't die with his eyes open, it would be considered a good deed in his previous life.
"If you have anything you want to ask, please ask." Although Xi Qiu has a cold temperament, she also knows where this is. She has heard about Jin Yiwei's methods for a long time. Instead of waiting for death, it is better to hear what they want.
At least I can make sense.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan looked directly into her eyes and asked: "I discovered the secret room in your room yesterday. There is a secret book of Xuanyin Kung Fu and an ice bed. Can it be used for your practice?"
"Yes." Xi Qiu admitted cooperatively, not holding on to these things.
"Your maid Qiu'er, where did the injury on her arm come from?" Although Lu Hanjiang didn't care about this, it was precisely because he didn't care that Huangfu Xiaoyuan had to hold on tightly and not let go.
Hearing this, Xi Qiu's eyes darkened slightly and he said softly: "So you have seen it before... It's not anything special, it's just that the Xuanyin Technique I practice requires human blood as a guide."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan's eyes were solemn. She stared at Xi Qiu and said, "Xuan Yin Gong requires human blood as a guide?"
"That's right," Xi Qiu nodded calmly, and she said: "The greatest effect of this martial arts is to improve one's own physique. It needs human blood as a guide to maximize the progress of cultivation."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan squinted her eyes and fell into deep thought. In this case, wouldn't Qiu'er become a being like Xi Qiu's furnace? The training conditions that harm Tianhe alone can convince her that this Xuan Yin Kung Fu must be nothing.
Upright martial arts are most likely demonic arts.
"If you want to know more, sir, you may as well get a pen and paper, and I will write them down one by one."
Xi Qiu's attitude brought Huangfu Xiaoyuan back to her senses. She asked coldly: "What do you want?"
Not surprised by Huangfu Xiaoyuan's question, Xi Qiu solemnly said: "I did this all by myself. I hope you will not involve others."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan shook her head and said: "What the Xiaoyao Sect has done is treasonous and treacherous, but it's an understatement. I can't decide what you want."
"Sir," Xi Qiu bowed down and said in a deep voice: "My grandfather is old and ill. I really can't bear for him to be imprisoned again."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan was silent for a long time and said, "Who else in your family is a supporter of Xiaoyao Sect?"
Xi Qiu did not stand up, but simply asked: "What do you mean, sir?"
Huangfu Xiaoyuan stood up, turned his back to her and asked: "When the Xiaoyao sect arranged your marriage to the late prince, someone in the family must have nodded. Was it your grandfather? Or your father? Or your brother?"
Xi Qiu straightened up and said: "When the engagement was agreed, the little girl was still young and didn't know about it."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan asked again: "How long has your grandfather been infected with the disease?"
Xi Qiu looked a little heavier and said, "It seems that twenty years ago, my grandfather became ill."
Twenty years ago, so to speak, not long after the marriage was arranged with the late prince, the eldest man of the Yuan family went crazy? Huangfu Xiaoyuan thought about it and did not continue to ask.
However, Xi Qiu bowed to the end again: "I beg you, sir, to have mercy."
"..."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan did not answer her, but walked straight out of the cell. Before she walked up the stairs to leave, Xi Qiu still prostrated himself on the ground and did not get up.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan came out of the cell and told Lu Hanjiang all the questions she had just asked. The response she received was still to bring Xuanyin Kung tomorrow.
In order not to make others suspicious, Huangfu Xiaoyuan left the teahouse immediately after finishing her work. On the way, in order to hide her from others, she also went to several other places, such as jewelry shops or clothing stores.
After she returned to the Yuan family, the maid Qiu'er still looked lively and cute, and the laughing master and servant looked so out of place in the lifeless house.
When Huangfu Xiaoyuan returned to the room, Qiu'er seemed to be a different person again, like a corpse without warmth, with a pair of lifeless eyes staring at her back.
"Let's forget it today." Huangfu Xiaoyuan said.
"Yes." Qiu'er responded expressionlessly and then retreated.
After spending the day in agony, at night, Huangfu Xiaoyuan still dismissed the maid and went to the courtyard to relax alone.
When passing by the house of the eldest master of the Yuan family, she heard the frightening maniacal laughter again. This time, Huangfu Xiaoyuan did not choose to retreat. Perhaps remembering Xi Qiu's repeated requests during the day, she stepped towards
Walk towards the small courtyard.
The two taciturn waiters were still guarding the door.
"I've met Miss."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to see people because I'm ill."
Even the conversation was exactly the same as yesterday, but this time Huangfu Xiaoyuan chose to persist. She said: "Get out of the way, I want to go in and see my grandfather."
"yes."
Unexpectedly, the two waiters did not block anything too much and let the way go naturally, which made Huangfu Xiaoyuan feel relieved. Could it be that she was thinking too much?
Most of the furnishings in the courtyard were shabby and old. Huangfu Xiaoyuan walked into the middle bedroom. The laughter of the eldest master of the Yuan family became closer and closer. She walked in from the outside and saw a skinny old man sitting on the bed, his eyes
He stared blankly at the roof, which really looked like a tallow tree and his face looked ashen.
The eldest master of the Yuan family did not notice Huangfu Xiaoyuan's entry. He just opened his mouth wide and kept letting out ghostly laughter.
Until Huangfu Xiaoyuan came closer, she hesitated and said: "Grandpa, Xi Qiu is here to see you."
The laughter stopped.
The eldest man of the Yuan family turned his gaze, and his eyes that had lost their luster suddenly regained their former clarity at this moment. He stared straight at Huangfu Xiaoyuan, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and the corners of his eyes unconsciously remained
A line of tears.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan was stunned. She watched the eldest man of the Yuan family recover from his madness, and then fell into a more violent madness again.
"Hahaha! Hahahahaha - finally! Finally -!"
The eldest man of the Yuan family laughed even louder, with scattered words of unknown meaning mixed in. His eyes flashed with too much complexity that Huangfu Xiaoyuan could not understand.
Suddenly, the tears pouring out of Mr. Yuan's family turned into blood, and his seven orifices began to bleed outward. Within a few breaths, he expired on the spot.
Until her death, those eyes filled with countless complex emotions, finally fixed on deep-seated hatred, stared at Huangfu Xiaoyuan without moving away.
