A knife in love

Chapter 280

When Murong Danyan said this, Li Qiufeng was also secretly suspicious.The man outside the bamboo forest called himself "Yilu", so his natural name was "Sha Yilu". He also called Mrs. Sha "sister-in-law", presumably Sha Yiming's younger brother.Why did this person not dare to enter the bamboo forest after following Murong Danyan to the outside of the bamboo forest?And why did Mrs. Sha cover up for Murong Danyan?Reminiscent of Mrs. Sha’s claim that Sha Yiming had passed away, and that the Sha Yiming he and Xiao Zhanpeng saw in the Shajiabao was impersonated, he became more suspicious and thought to himself: “The Shajiabao has been extremely mysterious in Jianghu all these years. , From today's perspective, there must have been a great change in the castle. I'm afraid that this time Shajiabao lured the heroes of the world into the castle, and there is a huge conspiracy hidden."

Murong Danyan said: "At that time, I heard the woman in white say that, and my heart was full of surprises. I didn't know why she spoke for me. So I turned my head to look at her, and the woman in white happened to be looking at me, and my eyes met. At that time, she waved her hand at me, motioning me not to speak. At this time, the person outside the bamboo forest also fell silent, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he heard the person say: "Since my sister-in-law said so, it must be It's all right. Yilu resigns and asks his sister-in-law to rest.'

"After the man finished speaking, there was no more sound outside the bamboo forest. At this time, the moon was shining in the sky, the sky was full of stars, and the surroundings were extremely silent. Only then did I take a closer look at the people in front of the thatched cottage. Except for the woman in white and the young man Outside, there is still a white-haired old man standing, and behind the woman in white, there are two women standing..."

Li Qiufeng listened to Murong Danyan's narration of the matter, and at the same time confirmed the presence of everyone present in his heart.The "white-haired old man" that Murong Danyan mentioned was standing three or four steps away from the right rear of the woman in white, with a very respectful expression, and those two women were obviously two of the maids present. bit.

I only heard Murong Danyan say: "The woman in white seemed to be listening intently to the movement outside the bamboo forest. After a while, she slowly came over. Although she covered me for me and lured the person away from the bamboo forest, it was just me I still had doubts in my heart, so when I saw her coming, I couldn't help holding the hilt of the sword. The woman in white walked to a place four or five steps away from me, stopped, and said in a deep voice: "Girl, what are you doing?" Came to Shajiabao?'

"I was taken aback. Because I was wearing a man's clothes at the time, and she saw that I was a woman..."

Li Qiufeng and Xiao Zhanpeng thought to themselves: "If others can't see that you are a woman disguised as a man, I'm afraid that person is blind!"

Murong Danyan didn't know what the two of them were thinking, and said unhurriedly: "I thought to myself that since she has seen through, I don't need to hide it, so I cupped my fists and said: 'I passed by the mountain, and I heard that there are martial arts competitions here, So I rushed over to watch the excitement. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the castle, I was chased and killed, and I ran here in a panic, wanting to kill or cut, so I listen to you."

"The woman in white smiled slightly, and said: 'Miss, you are serious. We are neither a government office nor a green forest cottage. How can we have the right to kill people? It's just that there are many institutions in this Shajiabao. You broke in unintentionally. That's it. Great danger. Fortunately, you were not injured by the authorities, and escaped here by mistake. Although they didn't come in to search, but outside the bamboo forest, the security must be heavy at this time. You should stay here tonight, we Then find a way to send you out.'

"I heard what she said, but I was still a little skeptical. The woman in white saw my worry, and smiled and said: 'You can rest assured, girl. Although I am also a member of Shajiabao, I am not in the same group as those outside the bamboo forest. Besides, I still want to ask the girl for some things.' Seeing that she was speaking sincerely and not like a sinister person, I nodded and followed her into the thatched cottage. After entering, I found that the furnishings are extremely elegant. Although not luxurious, it has a different artistic conception. The owner of the house is obviously an elegant person.

"The woman in white let me into a hall, and after I sat down, the woman in white said: 'Girl, don't worry, when we get here, the people of Shajiabao dare not pester me any more. To tell you the truth, I am the owner of Shajiabao, Shajiabao. Yiming's wife, after he passed away, I moved here to live...'

"I was startled, and immediately stood up from the chair, and said in a trembling voice: 'You, you are Sha Yiming's wife? He, isn't he, isn't he here...' The woman in white saw me like this, but He was also a little surprised, and said: "The deceased husband has passed away for nearly ten years, but Shajiabao has always been isolated from the outside world, so no one knows the news."

"I shook my head and said: 'Since you are Sha Yiming's wife, don't you know what happened in the Jianghu recently?' The woman in white said: 'Since my deceased husband passed away, I rarely even go out of this bamboo forest, let alone I have left Shajiapu. Although I know martial arts, I have never been in the rivers and lakes. How would I know what troubles are going on in the rivers and lakes?"

"I was stunned for a moment, and then I said to her: 'Okay, then I will tell you. There are rumors in the world that there is a mysterious master openly challenging Sha Yiming, the owner of Shajiabao. A martial arts competition. All the gangs in the Jianghu have already heard the news, and a large number of people from the Jianghu are gathering at Shajiabao...'

"The woman in white... no, she should be called Mrs. Sha. After hearing what I said, Mrs. Sha frowned, and seemed to say to herself: 'I guess Sha Yilu is playing tricks again...' She Speaking of this, he said to the door: "Uncle Hou, please come here."

"As soon as she finished speaking, only the sound of footsteps could be heard. The white-haired old man walked in, but he stopped as soon as he entered the door, with his hands hanging by his side, with a very respectful expression, and said to Mrs. Sha: 'Old slave Waiting for the order of the eldest young lady." Mrs. Sha said: "Uncle Hou, you are an old man in our castle. When your father-in-law is alive, you should also be honored as 'brother'. The word 'old slave' will never be mentioned again. Otherwise, we will kill us juniors!"

"The old man still stood there with his hands down, and said: 'Yes, the old slave knows!' Mrs. Sha looked helpless, so she could only say: 'Uncle Hou, do you know what Yilu is doing outside again?' The old man said: 'Daddy The young mistress and the old slave haven't gone out these days, so I don't know what the second young master is busy with. It's just that there have been many people in the castle in the past few years, and everyone's whereabouts are strange. The second young master is also very busy, so it's easy not to see each other. '

"Mrs. Sha snorted and said, 'What else can he be busy with? It's nothing more than a dream of becoming a Marquis Jinjue. Uncle Hou, please go and find out why a large number of martial arts masters rushed to Shajiabao to watch Yiming and Jinjue. People contest.'

"The white-haired old man trembled when he heard Mrs. Sha's words. He raised his head to look at me, and said in a trembling voice: 'Young Master, Young Master has passed away for more than ten years. How could there be such rumors? ...'

"Mrs. Sha shook her head and said: 'It's just strange here. It was agreed on the same day that Yiming's death would never be spread. We didn't reveal this matter. We didn't have any scheming at first. We just thought it was the Sha family. I don't want to spread the word about my own affairs. Even though the imperial court sent people to come several times, we all said that Yiming was ill and it was inconvenient to see guests, so we took care of it. Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, it would be like this A strange thing happened. I am worried that Yilu is doing something in his brother's name again. Our Shajiabao has gone through a hundred years of ups and downs, and there are many difficulties in it, so we have such a foundation. Yilu is ambitious, if something happens, I'm afraid that the foundation of the ancestors will not be preserved, and the Shajiabao is in danger of being wiped out!"

"After Mrs. Sha finished speaking, the old man became even more flustered, and said in a trembling voice: "Eldest young mistress, don't worry, I'll go to the castle to ask what happened. Although the second young master is not as calm as the eldest young master, he is not a mess." Those who come, he still values ​​the inheritance of the ancestors...'

"Madam Sha didn't wait for him to finish, then sighed and said: 'He just values ​​this foundation too much, and always thinks that he is a rare figure in the Sha family in a century, and he is unwilling to be inferior to others. Even if this person is him His own brother, he is also unconvinced, and always wants to create a new world with his own ability. However, we all know that he has always been high-minded, and his abilities and ambitions are not worthy of him. Over the past ten years, although he has not What a big mess happened, but the imperial court is already dissatisfied. I saw that the eunuch of the East Factory who came to the castle to distribute the rewards last year was a little weird, and his words were clouded, and it sounded like he was praising our Shajiabao. But if you think about it carefully, every sentence has a threatening meaning in it. I’m afraid it’s because Yilu is messing around outside, and Dongchang has already set his sights on it?! I’m not afraid that I will lose the title of Mrs. Madam, but I’m just worried about him If things go on like this, even the ancestral graves of the Lisha family will not be preserved, and in the end they will be ruined. What face do I have to meet Yiming in the ground?!'”
