Chapter 41
Of course it was Li Bier who was lying.
Cui Hengyue stopped and answered the man's question in his mind.
A different voice came to my ears: "It doesn't matter who is lying, after all, they two have a grudge."
"There is a grudge? How did you know that? Didn't Li Bi'er say that she saved Cui Hengyue's life? How could there be any grudge between them?"
"You are silly. Even if there was no hatred before, after what happened today, they have also formed a feud. There will be no peace in the future..."
"What are you guys doing all this time? Why don't you hurry up and search?"
"yes."
The sound of footsteps faded away, and Cui Hengyue had reached the corner. Just as she was about to climb over the railing, she heard the voice of the guard in the side hall and stopped.
"What are you doing here?"
"According to the order of the captain, we are searching for assassins. By the way, is there anyone in this side hall? Who is inside?"
Cui Hengyue's heart tightened. If they went in to search, they would definitely find that she was not there.
If so, what reason should she find to fool her?
"Oh, Cui Hengyue is the only one inside. She is injured and resting inside. The captain ordered not to disturb her. You can go somewhere else."
After hearing this, the man didn't hesitate, said thank you and left with his men.
Cui Hengyue breathed a sigh of relief, climbed over the railing, and ran towards the destination faster.
Seeing that his destination was just ahead, another group of guards suddenly appeared, and Cui Hengyue hurriedly dodged.
In the panic, Cui Hengyue's left shoulder hit a pillar. The wound opened and blood gushed out, leaving blood stains on the pillar and the wooden floor of the verandah.
Cui Hengyue looked back at the blood, gritted her teeth, and ran away.
The moment she left, Song Zhuoxing jumped down from the beam, quickly wiped the blood on the pillars and the wooden floor, and then ran in the direction Cui Hengyue originally wanted to go.
"who?"
The searching guards ran into Song Zhuoxing head-on, but Song Zhuoxing had his face covered. They did not recognize Song Zhuoxing and only regarded him as an assassin, so they drew their swords and killed him.
Song Zhuoxing did not run away, but directly climbed over the railing of the verandah and jumped down.
"The assassin is heading to the Ksitigarbha Pavilion, chase him quickly!"
The guards with good kung fu climbed over the railing and chased Song Zhuoxing all the way, while the guards with less kung fu hurriedly went down the stairs to chase Song Zhuoxing.
After the guards left, Cui Hengyue walked out of the darkness and looked at the railing in a daze: Aren't the assassins Li Bi'er and Su Biwen? Why did another assassin come out?
who is he?
Cui Hengyue did not think deeply about this issue. She temporarily put all this behind her and walked to the end of the corridor and stopped in front of the innermost room.
"Dong dong——dong——"
As soon as there was a knock on the door, the door opened.
A hand stretched out and pulled Cui Hengyue into the room.
"Yueyue, why are you here?"
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man, wearing a black round-collared crotchless robe with an empty left sleeve. His face was unshaven and his hair was messy. Unknowingly, he thought he was a beggar.
"Lin Jiang, I want a key that is exactly the same as it, can you do it?"
Cui Hengyue took out the key that came from Yun Chen and held it up in front of Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang did not look at the key, but looked at Cui Hengyue, wondering: "Yueyue, you used to call me Uncle Lin, why did you change your name today?"
"Oh, I called your name in a moment of urgency." Cui Hengyue explained calmly, then immediately changed his words: "Uncle Lin, this key..."
"Yue Yue!"
Cui Hengyue's words were interrupted by exclamations.
Lin Jiang grabbed Cui Hengyue's left hand and looked worried: "Why are you injured? Is it serious..."
"It's a small injury, but I won't die."
For fear that Lin Jiang would waste time by asking questions, Cui Hengyue tried hard to break away from Lin Jiang's right hand and said quickly: "Don't ask now, I will tell you when I have the opportunity in the future.
"You take a look at this key first..."
Cui Hengyue pushed the key into Lin Jiang's hand without any explanation: "I want an identical key, but I will send this key back right away.
"You just need to tell me, is there anything you can do?"
Lin Jiang held the key and looked at it carefully for a while: "Yes, you wait first."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Cui Hengyue to say anything, he took the key and entered the inner room.
Cui Hengyue glanced around. The room was very messy. Hammers, iron pieces, knives, swords, wood... miscellaneous things were scattered all over the floor, making it difficult for people to stay.
She carefully avoided those things, tiptoed to find a chair to sit on, looked around again, and saw that there was no white gauze, so she lifted up her skirt, tore off a few strips of cloth from her middle coat, and wrapped them around the bleeding
on the wound.
Her back was sticky and the wound should have split open, but she couldn't deal with the wound on her back.
However, if she couldn't find a way to cover it up, Yun Chen would definitely become suspicious when he saw her injury.
After thinking carefully, Cui Hengyue pulled off the cloth strip he had just wrapped.
At this time, Lin Jiang walked out of the inner room: "It's done, please take this key."
Cui Hengyue didn't ask him how he did it, took the key and put it away, then placed the torn bloody cloth strips on the tables next to him: "Burn these all later.
"Also, no one can know that I came to see you today."
Lin Jiang said yes and asked again: "When do you want the key?"
"When will you be ready?" Cui Hengyue asked without answering.
"Three days."
"Then I'll pick it up in three days."
"good."
Seeing Cui Hengyue was about to leave, Lin Jiang hurriedly stopped her: "Wait a minute -"
Cui Hengyue turned around and looked at Lin Jiang doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
"I..." Lin Jiang hesitated.
Seeing Lin Jiang's coquettish look, Cui Hengyue couldn't help but scolded: "What kind of speech is a grown man hesitating like? If you have anything to say, just say it quickly."
Hearing this, Lin Jiang clenched his fists, with an expression as if he was looking forward to death, and spat out what he wanted to ask in one breath:
"Is Qionghua okay? After my wife passed away, was she very sad? Did she not eat well or sleep well? Is she sick?"
Cui Hengyue: "..."
Looking at his appearance just now, he looked as if he was about to rush to the battlefield. She thought he had something important to tell her, but unexpectedly he asked about Qionghua's situation.
"Don't worry, after my grandma passed away, although Qionghua was sad, she was able to eat, sleep, and didn't get sick. She was just as good as before."
Lin Jiang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Then..."
He wanted to ask again, but he saw Cui Hengyue had opened the door and looked out. Lin Jiang immediately closed his mouth.
"I am leaving."
Cui Hengyue closed the door and walked back the same way she had come.
After avoiding the patrolling guards all the way, and just as he was about to return to the side hall, Yun Chen and Yun Lin suddenly walked out from around the corner, and Cui Hengyue hurriedly backed away.
"Heizhugan, if you think about it again, have you seen my key?"
"I've told you ten times, but I didn't see it. Why don't you think carefully about where you put the key?"
"Where can I put it? Of course I put it on my body, right here."
Yun Chen pointed to the empty purse at his waist, anger mixed with a hint of frustration.
Yun Lin stared at the purse and suddenly thought of something: "Didn't you fall when we were in the side hall before? Did you drop the key in the side hall?"
"Um..." Yun Chen tried hard to recall the scene in the side hall, and suddenly his pupils dilated: "I seemed to hear a sound at that time, but I couldn't be sure if it was the sound of keys falling on the ground."
"Isn't it true? We'll find out if we go back and look for it?"
After Yunlin finished speaking, he went straight to the side hall.
Yun Chen followed closely behind.
