At first, he became a disciple of Pharmacist Shen in the Jiazi Prison of Turtle City, but the relationship between the two was not deep, and it was difficult for Qin Xiao to even think of him.
Pharmacist Shen was imprisoned just because of a trivial matter. In Qin Xiao's memory, the cheap master's only hobby in the prison was drinking. His alcohol addiction was not inferior to that of the young master aunt. He was truly happy without drinking.
Originally, Qin Xiao didn't care much about this kind of master-disciple relationship, but later, because of the reward, he helped Shen Yaoshi to connect with his little aunt. He met a charming and charming beauty with a broad mind, and he got a little aunt after all.
Only later did Qin Xiao find out that the young aunt was a disciple of Jiangu, and Yaoshi Shen was the senior brother of Jiangu. In order to avoid the pursuers sent by the great swordsman Cui Jingjia, he hid in the prison and took it easy.
Pharmacist Shen was obviously not really afraid of the pursuers in Sword Valley, but a group of ghostly guys were following them all day long, which naturally made Pharmacist Shen very uncomfortable. He simply hid in the prison. The people in Sword Valley never expected that Pharmacist Shen would Come up with something like this.
Pharmacist Shen is the eldest disciple of Sword Valley, but his martial arts skills are not as good as those of his junior brother Cui Jingjia. Cui Jingjia forced him to occupy Sword Valley, while he himself was living outside.
Later, because of the assassination of Zhen Yujiang, Qin Xiao fled from Turtle City. Naturally, he did not care about the cheap master. After leaving Xiling and heading to Kyoto, Qin Xiao did think of his little sister-in-law, but he seemed to have forgotten the existence of Pharmacist Shen.
It's not that Qin Xiao doesn't remember old feelings.
Although he and Shen Yaoshi have the title of master and apprentice, their real friendship is not deep. The relationship between the two is actually that of the prison boss and the prisoner. Compared with other prisoners who are close to Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao and Pharmacist Shen actually didn't communicate much, most of the time he just bought him drinks.
Compared to Yaoshi Shen, Qin Xiao's relationship with his junior aunt is much deeper. After all, he and his junior aunt have been together for a while, and even slept together in the same bed. Moreover, the junior aunt has also helped several times and was able to get help from the old blood demon. It was entirely with the help of my little aunt that Zu learned the Heavenly Fire Sword.
Hongye guessed that the assassin was related to Jiangu. After a conversation, Qin Xiao finally thought of the cheap master, but was surprised.
According to the shopkeeper's description, the assassin was a man from the north. He was nearly fifty years old. His skin was rough and dark, and he was also a drinker. All of this was very consistent with the Pharmacist Shen in his memory.
But one thing he was sure of was that if the assassin was really Shen Yaoshi, he must have done something to his face.
Qin Xiao has an excellent memory. Although he has not seen Yaoshi Shen for a long time, he still remembers Yaoshi Shen's appearance. Although he did not observe the assassin carefully at the banquet in Sanhe Building, he glanced at the assassin. He shook his head, but if it was still Yaoshi Shen's true face, Qin Xiao would have recognized him at a glance, but he felt very unfamiliar at the time, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Pharmacist Shen travels around the world, and is naturally familiar with many techniques in the world. Qin Xiao would not be surprised if he also knows the art of disguise.
"Jiangu and the Xiahou family are fighting to the death. If it is really the disciples of Jiangu who assassinate Xiahou Ning, it would not be surprising." Hongye said thoughtfully: "Xiahou Ning is the eldest son and grandson of the Xiahou family, and his status in the Xiahou family is extraordinary. If nothing unexpected happens, after Xiahou Yuanzhen, the Xiahou family will have to rely on Xiahou Ning for support. The disciples of Sword Valley killed Xiahou Ning. Although it will not end the Xiahou family's incense, it will also cause the Xiahou family to suffer heavy losses."
Qin Xiao nodded and said, "That's natural."
"But the strangest thing about this matter is not that the disciples of Sword Valley assassinated Xia Houning, but the assassin's method." Hongyeliu frowned slightly and said softly: "Just now you demonstrated the assassin's killing method. It was the method of the inner sword.
If there are people present who know Jian Gu, they can easily suspect Jian Gu. Jian Gu’s internal strength is of its own kind. To use Jian Gu’s inner sword, you must use Jian Gu’s internal strength to activate it.
In other words, if the assassin is really a disciple of Sword Valley, it will be easy to find out once the body is sent to Kyoto."
Qin Xiao frowned and said: "Sister Hongye, did the assassin deliberately leave clues?" What came to mind, before Hongye could speak, he continued: "Is it possible that someone wants to frame Jiangu and provoke a conflict between the Xiahou family and Jiangu?
Fight?"
Hongye thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "The inner swords of Sword Valley are all unique skills, and outsiders will never be able to come into contact with them. If Xia Houning was really killed by the inner sword, only the disciples of Sword Valley can do it. Outsiders think
I don’t have the ability to frame him."
"If the assassin is in the Great Heaven Realm and has other means to kill Xiahou Ning, why did he use the inner sword?" Qin Xiao asked in surprise: "Isn't Jian Gu worried about being found out?"
Hongye didn't answer immediately. He walked slowly to the chair and sat down. He thought for a long time and finally said: "It seems there is only one possibility."
"What?"
"The assassin never thought of concealing his identity." Hongye said: "He deliberately killed people with his inner sword just to let the Xiahou family know that it was the Sword Valley disciple who killed Xiahou Ning."
Qin Xiao's body shook and he was even more surprised.
"Are you demonstrating against the saints and the Xiahou family?" Qin Xiao's expression became serious.
Hongye shook his head and said: "I don't know. Maybe as you said, he deliberately let the Xiahou family know that Xiahou Ning was killed by Jiangu's disciples, just to demonstrate to the emperor and the Xiahou family. Jiangu hated the Xiahou family deeply. This way
The motive can be explained." He frowned and said, "But this is actually not good for Jian Valley. Although there are many masters in Jian Valley, the Xiahou family now controls the world. The Xiahou family has not been cruel to Jian Valley. It's not that
Sword Valley has the strength to compete with the Xiahou family simply because Sword Valley is located outside the customs and it is difficult to send troops. Just now you said that the Purple Clothes Supervisor has sent people out to seize the purple wooden box and has been keeping an eye on the movements in Sword Valley. If
Sword Valley has completely angered the emperor and the Xiahou family, and the emperor may not do something unexpected."
"What will she do?"
"The Tang army was unable to escape, but there are many masters from all walks of life who were able to escape." Hongye said calmly: "If the emperor is determined to destroy Sword Valley, and the Xiahou family bribes all the people to escape, and even lets all the purple prisoners escape,
Sword Valley is in danger."
"So, if the assassin reveals his identity in Jiangu, he is likely to bring a catastrophe to Jiangu?"
Hongye nodded: "It depends on the emperor's thoughts. After all, she is the emperor of the lobby. If she really wants to destroy someone at all costs, no one can resist it." Staring at Qin Xiao, he said: "Don't get involved in this matter.
There are too many, and you cannot get involved in the grudges between Jiangu and Xiahou's family. You'd better have Xiahou Ning's body sent back to Kyoto as soon as possible. When the body arrives in Kyoto, they will check the wounds. As long as they are sure that Jiangu did it,
Then the Xiahou family's attention will be drawn to the Sword Valley, and they won't be able to make trouble for Jiangnan for a while. Leaving Xiahou Ning's body here will not do any good to Hangzhou."
Qin Xiao nodded, thinking that it was really hard for him to get involved in the feud between Jiangu and the Xiahou family.
His relationship with Jiangu was entirely due to the cheap master and the young master's aunt. He had no feelings for Jiangu itself. Although he was nominally a disciple of Medicine Master Shen, Qin Xiao never felt that he was a disciple of Jiangu.
I just thought that if the emperor really wanted to destroy Sword Valley at all costs, then the young martial sister might also be in danger, but I was worried in my heart.
"Sister Hongye, can you tell me why there is such a deep hatred between Jiangu and the Xiahou family?" Qin Xiao looked serious and asked sincerely: "What exactly happened?"
Hongye frowned and said, "You know what your biggest problem is? It's just being nosy. If you insist on meddling in many things that have nothing to do with you, you will only cause trouble for yourself."
"It's my nature, and there's nothing I can do about it." Qin Xiao sighed.
"You have to find a way even if you have no choice." Hongye said angrily: "With your current strength, who can you deal with? Whether it is the Xiahou family or Jiangu, if you really want to deal with you, it will be easier than trampling an ant to death. You can't keep making people worry...!" When he said this, he stopped immediately and did not continue. Seeing Qin Xiao looking at him eagerly, he finally sighed: "The death of Grandmaster Jiangu, and the emperor Relatedly, the people in Sword Valley believe that the sword god died in the hands of the emperor, do you think this feud can be resolved?"
Qin Xiao said in shock: "The Sword God... was the Sword God killed by the emperor?"
"I'm sleepy." Hongye ignored her: "I'm leaving Hangzhou tonight, so be careful."
"You want to leave?" Qin Xiao was startled and said hurriedly: "Where are you going?"
Hongye said: "Just take care of yourself, and don't ask about my affairs."
"Then...when can I see you again?" Qin Xiao knew that Hong Ye's decision would never be changed. He had just met Hong Ye and she was about to leave again, feeling really reluctant to leave.
Hong Ye seemed to notice his reluctance, and her voice became softer: "Just take care of yourself, I will find you when I have time. By the way, remember not to waste your practice. If you are really in danger, there will be no one around you." Protection is all up to you. I told you that you should practice step by step, don't rush for success, and don't think about rapid progress all day long. When practicing, just think of eating and sleeping, as long as you stick to it." After a pause. , asked in a low voice: "How is the cold poison in your body now? Does it still happen frequently?"
Qin Xiao hurriedly said: "I forgot to tell you about this. After I left Turtle City, I took the blood pills you gave me before each attack. Later, the intervals between attacks became longer and longer. After I entered the fourth-level realm, , I have never had an attack, and I almost forgot that I still have cold poison in my body."
"Seriously?" Hongye's brows relaxed and he was obviously quite happy: "Is there anything else that makes you feel uncomfortable?"
"No, everything is fine."
"That's good." Hongye said happily: "It seems that the Taikoo Yi Qi Jue is indeed very suitable for you, but don't take it lightly. Although you haven't had an attack, it doesn't mean that the cold poison has been eliminated. Always be careful." From his arms. He took out a porcelain bottle and handed it over, and said softly: "When I came here this time, I made some. You can take it with you. It's better if nothing happens. If there is an attack, you can deal with it."
Qin Xiao thought that Sister Hongye was really cold on the outside and hot on the inside, but her heart was filled with warmth. She took the porcelain bottle and put it away, and was about to speak when she heard a voice calling from outside the yard: "Master Shaoqing, is Master Shaoqing here?"
