Chapter 687
Dark night, silver moon hanging high.
In the wilderness, it was quiet and deserted, and occasionally a few wolf howls could be heard in the distance.
Luo Qingzhou was alone, moving forward.
His soul flew in the air, his body walked on the ground, and his sight searched for everything he could see around him.
When he approached the Shili Pavilion outside the city, he suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood in the air.
The further he went, the stronger the smell of blood.
His heart shuddered, and he immediately slowed down his pace, his soul returned to his body, and his eyes looked ahead vigilantly.
He walked a distance again.
He suddenly saw a corpse lying in the bushes.
The corpse was wearing a wide Taoist robe, his head exploded, his body collapsed, and his death was extremely tragic.
Judging from the wounds on his body, it should be caused by a heavy punch.
Luo Qingzhou observed carefully for a while, and continued to walk forward following the smell of blood, and soon found two more corpses.
The two corpses were both wearing Taoist robes and were killed by heavy punches.
Judging from the situation at the scene, the person who killed the three Taoists should have a high level of cultivation, at least a great martial artist.
These three Taoists should be the three people who were wandering around the river as Long Er said?
The other party was obviously from Zijin Temple and was the emperor's subordinate. So, who suddenly killed them here?
Luo Qingzhou's eyes looked at the city in the distance through the darkness.
While thinking, his expression suddenly changed and he looked at the road ahead.
Several figures rode horses, followed by a carriage.
He immediately rushed to the woods next to him, jumped up, jumped onto a big tree, and then hid in the dense tree canopy with his breath held.
Not long after, three men in Taoist robes rode horses and brought a carriage to gallop and stopped at Shili Pavilion.
Then several people got off the horse, checked the bodies on the ground, looked up and looked around, and cursed a few words with gritted teeth.
Then, they lifted the three bodies on the ground, put them in the carriage, and finally turned around and left, quickly disappearing into the night.
A moment later.
Luo Qingzhou jumped down from the tree, looked at the place where the few people disappeared, and fell into deep thought.
From the situation just now, it seems that the Taoists knew that there were bodies here a long time ago, so they brought the carriage to collect the bodies.
Could it be that other Taoists have been here before?
Or, one of them ran away before?
However, judging from the formation of those people just now, they did not look like reinforcements who came in a hurry. They seemed to be here to collect the bodies.
Aren’t they afraid that the murderer is still hiding here?
Or, do they already know where the murderer is going?
Luo Qingzhou stood in the woods and thought for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, he did not dare to stay any longer and turned back immediately.
He had not told the second lady when he came out, so he had to go back quickly to avoid worrying them.
He still had to go into the city tonight, but he had to wait until late at night.
Since the three Taoists were able to find the Yunwu River, the other Taoists should be able to find it soon.
He needed to go back and confirm that there were no other Taoists or court masters hiding in the nearby mountains and forests.
Only after ensuring the safety of his family could he attack with peace of mind.
He rushed all the way and soon arrived at the Yunwu River.
The Yunwu River in the night was still hazy with mist, and the moonlight fell on the river, sparkling, outlining a dreamlike night scene.
The boat in the middle of the river had disappeared.
The Saint and Long'er of Xianyun Pavilion should have left.
Luo Qingzhou walked along the river for a distance, and then searched carefully on both sides of the river and in the nearby fields and forests for a while. After seeing that there was no one else, he returned to his mind, stepped on the water to cross the river, and returned to his residence.
Lanterns were hung on the corridor in the house.
In the main room, oil lamps and candles were lit, and the family was eating dinner and talking.
Luo Qingzhou pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
Zhu'er and Mei'er, who were whispering in the corridor, immediately raised their heads and looked at him.
When Zhu'er saw him, her body trembled obviously and she lowered her head timidly.
When Mei'er saw him, she hurriedly shouted inside: "Master, Madam, the son-in-law is back."
The couple who were scolding Qin Erge in the room immediately stopped talking and stood up.
Luo Qingzhou walked into the room and whispered in front of Zhu'er when he passed by Zhu'er: "Little bun, have you washed it clean?"
Zhu'er's face changed and her body trembled again.
Luo Qingzhou entered the room, greeted Qin Wenzheng and his wife, and called "Second Brother" again.
Miss Qin Er was also there.
Song Ruyue hurriedly said, "Qingzhou, come and sit down for dinner. Where have you been? I asked your second brother to go out and look for you for a long time, but he couldn't find you."
Qin Chuan said, "I went to the front and back of the house, and also to the riverside. Qingzhou, where did you go? Did you go out to fool around with someone?"
"Pa!"
Qin Wenzheng, who was sitting next to him, slapped him on the back of his head and glared at him, saying, "Don't say anything. No one will think you are dumb."
Luo Qingzhou sat down and said calmly, "I went to the foot of Lingxiao Sect. I have a friend in Lingxiao Sect. Go and talk to him. The girl Long'er who brought you here yesterday is the sister of my friend."
Song Ruyue immediately asked: "Qingzhou, is that girl Long'er also a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect? Are you familiar with her brother? That girl Long'er is really beautiful, with a smooth face, good skin, and good speech. It sounds good, and he seems to be a really nice person... Qingzhou, um..."
At this point, she seemed a little embarrassed and laughed dryly, not knowing how to continue.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "Mother-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it. Qingzhou is not an outsider."
Song Ruyue said: "Then mother-in-law just tell me."
Then she frowned, sighed, and said, "Look, your second brother is such a big man and he doesn't even have a wife..."
Before she could finish speaking, Miss Qin Er next to her interrupted her and said softly: "Mother, I asked yesterday that Miss Long'er already has someone she likes."
"Huh? Do you have someone you like?"
Song Ruyue was stunned when she heard this, then she grimaced and sighed: "What a pity...such a pretty little girl, eh..."
Miss Qin Er glanced at someone and stepped on his foot under the table.
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and ate the steamed buns without daring to say a word.
Song Ruyue sighed again and said, "Your second brother can't find a wife, and your eldest brother can't..."
"Eat your food!"
Qin Wenzheng immediately interrupted her with a straight face.
Song Ruyue pouted aggrievedly, her eyes were red, and she cried sadly: "Master, I don't know how Lang'er is doing now, and I don't know where he is..."
Qin Wenzheng said with a sullen face: "What do you care about that idiot? Let him fend for himself outside so as not to harm our family!"
Song Ruyue wiped away her tears and sobbed softly, not daring to speak any more.
Second Miss Qin took out her handkerchief, wiped her tears, and comforted her softly: "Mom, don't worry, my eldest brother will be fine. He will come back when he thinks clearly."
Song Ruyue cried: "But Lang'er doesn't even know where we live..."
Miss Qin frowned, not knowing how to answer.
Qin Chuan suddenly said: "Dad, how about I go out and take a look? I'll secretly meet with my elder brother and persuade him to get him out of there quickly, okay?"
Qin Wenzheng looked at him and said, "Are you a fool too? Do you think no one is watching him? As long as you dare to go out to see him, people from the court will immediately follow you here, unless you don't come back. You are like the masters of the court Are they all decorations?
Qin Chuan said with worry on his face: "But eldest brother..."
Qin Wenzheng was silent for a moment and said: "Wait a little longer. If he thinks clearly, he will naturally find a way to come back. He knows the direction we left. If he really wants to come back, he will definitely find us. Unless, he doesn't want to Come back. If he doesn't want to come back, let him go. It's useless for us to go looking for him. It will only make things difficult for him and bring danger to us."
Miss Qin Er said: "What dad said is that we should let the eldest brother figure it out on his own."
Qin Wenzheng said again: "Chuan'er, during this period, you are sleeping at home during the day and guarding the door at night to prevent people from the court from sneaking in. Do you hear me?"
Qin Chuan immediately nodded and said, "My child knows."
Then he clenched his fists and snorted: "My kid hasn't had a fight for a long time. These fists are almost rusty. Let them come."
After eating.
Luo Qingzhou supported Miss Qin, took Qiu'er and Zhu'er away, and returned to his small courtyard.
A wooden sign has been hung on the door of the small courtyard.
There are several beautiful characters written on the wooden sign: Caiju Xiaoyuan.
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
"Brother Qingzhou, what's wrong? Doesn't that name sound good?"
When Miss Qin Er saw him suddenly stopping at the door, she also raised her head, followed his gaze, and said softly: "This is written by Wei Mo. Wei Mo has always remembered the life described in brother Qingzhou's poem. Wei Mo has always remembered the life described in Brother Qingzhou's poem. Mo is yearning for it."
Luo Qingzhou looked at those words and fell into deep thought. After a moment, Fang reached out and picked them off and said, "Let's change the name."
Second Miss Qin pouted slightly and said, "That's the name I want to call you."
Luo Qingzhou did not follow her this time and said softly: "Let's change it to another one. This name is not good."
Second Miss Qin frowned and said, "What's wrong? Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the Nanshan Mountains, such a beautiful poem."
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to glance at the two little girls behind him. He had no choice but to lean into her ears and whisper: "I'll tell you when I go to the room later. I can't use these two words anyway. I don't feel comfortable looking at them." .
When Miss Qin heard what he said, she could only say weakly: "Okay..."
Luo Qingzhou helped her into the courtyard, threw the wooden sign on the ground, turned around and said, "Zhu'er, throw this wooden sign into the kitchen and burn it as firewood tomorrow."
Pearl glanced at him timidly, then immediately lowered her head, picked up the wooden sign obediently, and went to the kitchen.
Second Miss Qin looked at this scene, a little surprised, and whispered: "Brother Qingzhou, something seems wrong with Zhu'er today. She seems so afraid of you. Are you bullying her?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "No, I just scared her and told her to sleep with her tonight."
When Miss Qin Er heard this, she looked at him deeply and said, "Did Brother Qingzhou really just scare her? Or did he have a premeditated plan?"
Luo Qingzhou said calmly: "What kind of plans can I have for that girl? I have you, Xiaodie, and Qiu'er here, who is not prettier than her, how can I be interested in her. I just talk to her every time I see her. "Yes, I just wanted to scare her."
The two of them entered the house while talking.
At this time, Xiaodie suddenly came out of the room next to her and said, "Sir, why did you name Sister Zhuer Little Steamed Bun? What does it mean?"
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
"Little steamed buns?"
Second Miss Qin was slightly startled when she heard this, and looked at him and said, "Brother Qingzhou, what do you mean?"
Luo Qingzhou said calmly: "Baibai, fat, and cute."
Xiaodie said doubtfully: "But Sister Zhu'er isn't fat either."
Luo Qingzhou glared at her and said, "How do you know she's not fat? Have you seen her body?"
Xiaodie nodded and said, "I've seen it. I even took off my clothes and went to bed with Sister Zhu'er."
Miss Qin Er asked: "Brother Qingzhou, how do you know she is fat? Have you ever seen her?"
Luo Qingzhou pulled her into the room and said with a serious face: "Second Miss, I have something important to discuss with you."
After saying that, he closed the door directly, shutting Xiaodie and Qiu'er out.
Qiu'er quickly pulled Xiaodie away and whispered: "Xiaodie, don't talk nonsense. From now on, you have to ask your uncle alone about these questions, do you understand?"
Xiaodie listened to her words very much and said with some anxiety: "Sister Qiu'er, did I say something wrong? However, it was Sister Zhu'er who came to ask me, and I didn't know how to answer, so I came to ask the young master. .
Qiu'er thought for a moment and said doubtfully, "I don't know what it means, but judging from my uncle's reaction, you must have said the wrong thing."
Xiaodie immediately lowered her head and said sadly, "Okay, I won't talk too much next time."
in the room.
Luo Qingzhou told Miss Qin Er about his plans to go out tonight.
Second Miss Qin asked worriedly: "Brother Qingzhou wants to go into the city alone? Should he go to see his eldest brother, or go..."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment and said: "I just went to take a look. Don't worry, I won't enter the palace for the time being."
Miss Qin Er frowned and said, "Wei Mo knows that even if we move here, we won't be safe. The Taoist priest came so quickly this morning, and the others should also come soon, Qingzhou Brother wants to solve these things alone, right?"
Luo Qingzhou stroked Mo's hair lovingly and said softly, "I can't hide anything from you."
Second Miss Qin hugged him and said, "Brother Qingzhou, it must be dangerous to go alone, right?"

Luo Qingzhou said: "I'll try it first. If it doesn't work, then find help. Don't worry, I'm not a reckless and impulsive person. If it's really dangerous, I will come back immediately."
Second Miss Qin raised her cheeks and said, "Brother Qingzhou is working really hard... Such a big family depends on you..."
Luo Qingzhou picked her up, sat on the soft couch, held her in his arms and said, "As we should, we are all a family."
Second Miss Qin leaned tenderly in his arms, was quiet for a while, and said, "Indeed, we are all one family. So Brother Qingzhou, it is natural for you to sneak into my sister's room during the day when she is not here, right?"
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
Second Miss Qin looked up at him and said, "Brother Qingzhou, can you tell Wei Mo the truth? Do you have other thoughts about your sister...?"
"No!"
Luo Qingzhou immediately denied it and said, "Absolutely not, I swear!"
Then he explained: "I went there today to find Xia Chan, but it was my first time there and I didn't know which room Xia Chan lived in, so I accidentally went in. Who knew it was such a coincidence that the eldest lady just came back, So she was stuck in there..."
Miss Qin Er said: "Then, Brother Qingzhou climbed out of the window and was caught by Bai Ling and Xia Chan on the spot, right?"
Luo Qingzhou: "...How could it be such a coincidence? I suspect someone has framed me? It's probably that bad girl Bai Ling!"
Miss Qin Er snorted: "Brother Qingzhou obviously did something wrong, but he blamed others..."
Luo Qingzhou coughed and said, "Let's talk about something else."
Miss Qin Er said: "Okay, then brother Qingzhou, tell me, why can't those four words be used in the name outside?"
The corners of Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched and he said, "You really want to know?"
Miss Qin Er said: "I think so."
Luo Qingzhou stroked Mo Mo's tender little hand, hesitated again, then leaned close to her ear and explained in a low voice.
Not long after, Miss Qin Er's fair cheeks were gradually stained with two blushes. She looked at him tenderly and said: "Brother Qingzhou, you... are you good or bad..."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Don't worry about me, other bad guys said it. I'm very simple and I couldn't understand it at first."
Second Miss Qin pouted and said, "Liar, you are the bad guy."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and kissed her delicate face, rubbing his mouth on it, and said, "Then do you like a badass husband?"
Miss Qin Er snorted: "I don't like it."
Luo Qingzhou immediately blocked her mouth, kissed her for a while, and then kissed her neck...
Second Miss Qin soon became weak and her eyes were blurred.
"Do you like it?"
"I...like..."
Outside the window, a silver moon hung on the branches.
In the forest not far away, there were suddenly several roars of wild beasts.
The small courtyard next door.
Ms. Qin, in a white dress, was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, staring at the cold silver moon in the night sky.
The white moonlight fell on her flawless face and her beautiful figure, as if she had been coated with a layer of holy light, beautiful as a dream.
"Miss, I won't like it here."
"Why?"
"It's cold here."
The conversation in the courtyard was like the scenery here, cold and deserted, and ended quickly.
Bai Ling, in a pink dress, holding a small wild flower in her hand, squatted under the big tree in the courtyard, frowning and sighing.
In the corridor, a thin figure holding a sword stood in the shadow of the pillar, motionless.
The courtyard was silent.
After an unknown period of time, Miss Qin, in a white dress, slowly stood up from the stone table and said, "Go back to your room."
But at this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall.
Then, the sound of the two people talking came.
"Sir, why are you here so late at night? If the lady knew, she would think too much."
"The second lady asked me to come. I did something wrong and offended the eldest lady. The second lady asked me to apologize."
"How did you offend the eldest lady? Did you kiss?"
"Xiao Die, has it been a long time since I blocked your mouth?"
"Well! I thought about it..."
"..."
The conversation stopped at the door outside.
Then, there was a knock on the door.
The three people in the yard looked at each other, and Miss Qin sat down slowly again.
Bailing immediately stood up and said, "Who? It's so late, who is disturbing Xiao Bailing's sleep!"
Her tone immediately became relaxed.
Luo Qingzhou's voice rang out from outside the door: "Bai Ling, it's me. Is the young lady asleep?"
Bai Ling glanced at the snow-white figure next to her and said, "It's the son-in-law. Why are you looking for my young lady so late? Are you going to peek at my young lady's things again?"
Luo Qingzhou said, "I'm here to apologize to the young lady. If the young lady is asleep, I'll leave."
Bai Ling immediately ran over and opened the door, pouting her lips and said, "Son-in-law, you are not sincere. Even if you are here to apologize, even if the young lady is asleep, you should insist on coming in."
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and looked at the snow-white figure in the yard. After a pause, he walked in and stopped in front of the stone table. He bowed and said, "Young lady, I offended you today. I'm here to apologize to you. I hope you don't take it to heart. If you are still angry, you can hit me a few times to vent your anger."
Miss Qin lowered her head slightly, her pretty face was as cold as snow, and she seemed to be in a daze, and ignored him.
Bailing followed and tried eagerly: "Son-in-law, my young lady is a lady, she won't hit anyone. How about I help her, okay?"
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and looked at her and said: "You try?"
Bailing's neck shrank immediately, she stepped back a few steps, shook her head and said: "I'd better not try... I'm also a lady..."
Then she looked at the corridor and urged: "Chanchan, come and help the young lady teach the son-in-law a lesson, the son-in-law dare not fight back against you."
Xia Chan turned her pretty face away, looked away, pretending not to hear.
She didn't want it...
That bad guy would let her tie a double ponytail and bully her like a horse...
Luo Qingzhou bowed again and said: "Miss, how about I tell you another story?"
Bailing on the side immediately cheered: "Great, I want to listen to stories, the stories told by the son-in-law are all very good!"
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and continued to look at Miss Qin in front of him.
Miss Qin was silent for a while, then she raised her beautiful face, looked at him and said, "Sing a song."
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, then immediately cheered and said, "Great, I want to listen to my uncle singing, my uncle must sing very well!"
In the corridor, Xia Chan also looked over, and then secretly pricked up her ears.
Luo Qingzhou was a little embarrassed and said, "What song do you want to listen to, Miss? I don't sing very well, far from Bai Ling."
Bai Ling smiled and said, "My uncle is so sweet, hehe."
Miss Qin thought for a while and said, "Little donkey."
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
In the corridor, Xia Chan's cheeks suddenly turned red.
Luo Qingzhou coughed and said, "Miss, this song..."
Miss Qin said calmly, "Sing it."
Bai Ling, who was standing by, immediately urged with a smile, "Sir, sing it quickly! We all love it."
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to say, "Okay then..."
"Ahem..."
He cleared his throat and sang with a stiff upper lip, "I have one..."
"Wrong! Sir, wrong!"
Bai Ling immediately corrected, "It's not [I have one], it's [I am one]!"
Luo Qingzhou looked at her.
At this time, Miss Qin also said, "Sing [I am one]."
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and he had to agree, and sang with a stiff upper lip, shamefully.
"I am a...little donkey, I...she never rides...one day she suddenly felt like riding to the market...she had a whip in her hand, feeling very proud..."
Before he finished singing, Bailing suddenly squatted beside him and laughed, "Gentleman is a little donkey, little man is a little donkey, cluck cluck cluck..."
In the corridor, Xia Chan also turned away and hid in the shadow of the eaves. It was unknown what expression was on her face.
Miss Qin's pretty face was still cold.
Luo Qingzhou thought that he had died many times in front of these three girls, so what if he died one more time?
He continued to sing with a thick face.
When she finished singing, Bailing had already covered her stomach and fell to the ground.
"Miss, is it okay?"
Luo Qingzhou asked awkwardly.
Miss Qin was quiet for a while, then raised her flawless face, looked at him with clear eyes, and said: "Come and sing it every night in the future, do you have any objections?"
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
Miss Qin said lightly: "If you have any objections, you can go and tell Wei Mo."
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and he immediately lowered his head and said: "No objection. Miss's order, I dare not have any objection."
Miss Qin stared at him for a while, nodded slightly, and said: "Go."
"Good night, Miss."
Luo Qingzhou did not dare to stay any longer, turned around and left.
When passing by Bailing, he deliberately stepped on her foot.
Bailing immediately got up from the ground and said, "Sir, it hurts, you stepped on my feet..."
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and looked at her and said, "Oh, sorry, I didn't see it. Come out, I'll help you rub it."
Bailing's face changed, and she immediately hid beside Miss Qin, pouting and saying, "I don't want to go out, Sir, you want to bully me again, hum, forget it!"
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and walked out the door quickly.
When I have time in a few days, I will teach this little girl a lesson, and then let her see who is the little donkey.
Well, I will tie her into a double ponytail then...
Outside the courtyard wall, there was another conversation.
"Sir, the song you just sang is so beautiful. Can you teach me to sing?"
"Do you want to be a donkey, too?"
"Yes, I want to be your donkey. You can ride whatever you want to the market, hehe."
"Silly girl, I don't like riding donkeys."
"What do you like to ride?"
"Horses, horses with tails."
"Sir, don't all horses have tails?"
"Only mares have tails."
"Ah?"
"Let's go to the grove over there. I'll tell you in detail..."
The conversation gradually faded away and soon disappeared.
The courtyard was quiet for a while.
Bai Ling coughed and said immediately: "Miss, Chanchan, it's getting late. You should go back to bed. I can't sleep. I'm going out for a walk, to see some horse riding, oh no, to see the scenery..."
After that, she ran out impatiently.
