Chapter 26 The Situation of the Inner Court of the Lu Mansion
The night rain fell outside with a clatter, and Tao Song coughed uncomfortably, so he had to change the topic and pick up the question just now: "How do you know that the death of Senior Yu is related to Chu Sheng? "
"Feng Xian told me." Yu Shi simply pushed everything to his good brother.
Tao Song frowned and thought for a while, then stared at Yu Shi suspiciously: "This matter should be kept secret, what kind of friendship do you have with Senior Yu, do you even know such things? Senior Yu doesn't have a deep relationship with all the families of immortals. , except for Senior Feng and Pavilion Master Gu Shao of Liujing Pavilion, I have never heard of anyone else."
Yu Shi suddenly regretted that he had spoken quickly and told about Chu Sheng.After getting along with this child for a long time, I almost regarded him as my own.
At this time, I remembered a little bit of defensiveness, but I didn't know how to explain it.
Yu Shi had to be perfunctory first: "It's a long story, and now is not a good time. I'll tell you when we return from the Lu residence."
After saying that, I felt another thump in my heart, why is what I said tonight not very auspicious?
Tao Song stared at him for a while, but he really didn't remember when Yu Shi had such a person by his side.But in front of the enemy, he could only suppress his doubts and focus on the movements in the inner courtyard.
The heavy rain poured down, the cumulus clouds rolled over the head, several thunderclaps sounded from the sky, the wind was strong, and the bronze wind chimes in the inner courtyard jingled and rang, causing people to panic.
The inner courtyard of the Lu residence was brightly lit, but there was no sound of people.
The candlelight flickered faintly, reflecting on Xuehu's beautiful side face.Bright red blood slipped from her white fingertips, and slowly dripped onto Lu Shuang's hideous face.
Xue Hu took out a brocade handkerchief and slowly wiped off the blood on his hands, then glanced at Lu Shuang with disgust: "You have been kept alive for so long, today is the time."
The night wind mixed with moist rain came in through the crack of the window, Zheng Xin came out tremblingly from behind the screen, and covered Lu Shuang's blue-gray face with the blood-stained brocade handkerchief.
Xue Hu laughed mockingly: "It's kind of you that he turned you into this."
Zheng Xin said in a low voice: "The national teacher practiced an evil technique and harmed many innocent children. But if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be alive until now, and see His Highness the Ninth Prince again."
After a pause, he said again: "It's a pity that Your Majesty and Your Majesty have never seen each other until death..."
"This person has only learned a little bit of fur magic and sorcery. Emperor Ai was blindfolded by love, so he was coaxed by a liar for so many years." Xue Hu raised the corners of his mouth contemptuously, "You can live until now, don't change Should I thank you son?"
Zheng Xin still kept his eyebrows low and pleasing to his eyes, but his words were not very respectful: "In order to repay my son, I have delivered the message as instructed. You have promised me that you will not hurt His Highness the Ninth Prince."
"Of course not." Xue Hu frowned slightly, her gaze was gloomy, "Young Master's goal from beginning to end is just Yu Shi, so what's the benefit of offending Qingjiang City halfway?"
It's just that if your little highness and Tao Song follow Yu Shi in the future, it will be very troublesome.
Naturally, Xue Hu would not say the second half of the sentence.She calmed down a little, and smiled at Zheng Xin: "Don't worry, what the young master promised you must be counted on. Your words have also been conveyed, so go back immediately."
Zheng Xin was silent: "I don't think I will be needed for a while, I want to go back to Tangquan Palace."
A trace of murderous intent flashed across Xue Hu's eyes calmly, but he still put on a gentle look: "What does the young master say?"
Zheng Xin said: "Young master agrees."
Xue Hu was slightly surprised, pondered for a moment, and said: "Since it is something that the young master promised, then you just go."
Zheng Xin retreated in response, the curtain moved lightly, Xuehu turned her head vigilantly, a plain sword light suddenly brushed across her neck, Xuehu dodged sharply, but when she saw the person coming, her expression suddenly changed.
The heavy rain poured down outside the window, and there were thunderstorms. The visitor withdrew his long sword lightly, seeming to be angry, but his eyebrows and eyes were warm, and he didn't feel compelled to look at him.
Xue Hu showed a look of horror and cowering, and knelt down with a plop: "What is Elder Xu doing? What did the slave family do wrong? Please tell the elder clearly, why did you want the slave family's life by taking action?"
Xu Su gave her a condescending look, and asked bluntly, "Why do resentful spirits appear in Huayue Tower?"
Xue Hu lowered her head to hide her expression: "I came to Lu Shuang to investigate that night, maybe I accidentally alarmed something."
She raised her sleeve and wiped her tears again: "It was Elder Xu who said that it was my carelessness to attract an expert to help me get rid of Lu Shuang's evil, and almost harmed the people in the city..."
She cried and cried for a long time, but Xu Su ignored it, Xue Hu changed her mind again, and hit the point: "Elder... Could it be that the elder suspects that I still have an affair with the demon cultivator and intentionally harm others?"
Xuehu cried until the pear blossoms rained down, and swore very strongly: "The evil magic of the magic cultivator caused my whole family to die tragically. If I wanted to help the magic cultivator, why did I have to tell the elder about the affairs of the Lu family a month ago? The elder and I have been together since Yuntai Mountain. Acquaintance, until now, the elder still misunderstood me?"
Xu Su frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Looking at your cultivation today, getting rid of Lu Shuang doesn't really need help from others."
Xue Hu was very cowardly: "It was because he was caught off guard just now that I succeeded. There are still hundreds of fierce spirits in the dungeon of the Lu residence, and we still need the help of experts outside."
Xu Su said calmly: "I will kill all the evil spirits in the dungeon."
Xue Hu was startled, but her face remained calm, and she said happily: "Elder Xu is really extraordinary."
Xu Su looked at her coldly for a moment, and finally softened her tone: "I don't know what you, or the people behind you, want to do with my hand, but it doesn't conflict with what I want to do."
"Your time is running out. There will be a big change in the family of Xianmen. If you can avoid it, you can still live a peaceful life."
The air was filled with the rain of summer night, the candles were flickering, and Xue Hu's expression remained unchanged, unmoved at all: "Thank you for the elder's concern. It's just that I don't understand what the elder said."
Xu Su looked at her for a moment, suppressed her complex emotions, and finally said: "I have to go back, take care of yourself." She turned around and left.
A huge water curtain hung between the sky and the earth, layers of small puddles arose under the bluestone steps, and a string of wind chimes under the eaves jingled.
With a flicker of the candle, Zheng Xin walked out from the dark place again, and said softly, "Miss Xue, Elder Xu of Yuntai Gate seems to care about you very much."
There was a glimmer of light in Xue Hu's eyes, but for a moment, it was as cold as ice: "There are many hypocrites in Yuntaimen. If I hadn't sneaked out back then, I'm afraid they would have died in ashes."
Zheng Xin sighed slightly: "This Elder Xu and his master should not be the same person."
Xuehu tightly clenched the front of his clothes, feeling overwhelmed, silent for a moment, but still said in a cold tone: "So what? As he said, I don't have much time. My life was given by the son's family." , and the rest can only be returned to the young master."
Looking at her beautiful silhouette, Zheng Xin couldn't help but sighed again.
After a moment of silence in the room, Xue Hu collected her thoughts and said indifferently: "The last time I was in Huayue Tower, I couldn't hurt Yu Shi. This time, the layout in the dungeon must have been destroyed by Xu Su. I didn't expect it before." Tao Songxiu is as high as Tao Songxiu, so I have to make preparations now."
Zheng Xin's heart skipped a beat, as expected, Xue Hu took out a piece of light talisman paper from her bosom.
There is only a streak of cinnabar left on the talisman, which is a flamboyant "kai" character.
The faint candlelight licked and swallowed the spell, Xue Hu said softly: "In the dungeon, the illusion has opened, I hope you two can survive."
