Chapter 106 The Lost “Golden Platform”
Ling You's brows were furrowed tightly, and a clear line revealed the master's displeasure and confusion at the moment.

"so?"

"Xie Zhao, I don't know who you are, and I don't know why you stole Lu Shangque's 'Golden Platform'. I don't even know how you stole it from the hands of a martial arts master who was half a step into the sky. It is his destiny to wear the sword, but I only know that your move is tantamount to pulling out the beard from the tiger's mouth, like a moth flying into the flame, seeking your own death!"

Ling or angry.

In the year when he first came out of the world, the first friend he met was Han Changsheng, and the second friend he met was Xie Zhao.

Along the way, he had long regarded the two of them as friends who shared weal and woe.Now that I see her acting like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water and does not know whether to live or die, how can I not be anxious?
"You can't possibly know what kind of character Lu Shangque is from 'Golden Terrace'! He will never give up so easily after losing his natal sword!
I know that with your level of martial arts cultivation, even if you had thought about returning the 'Golden Platform' before, you wouldn't have had the chance. Being discovered would be tantamount to death.But now is a good opportunity to find out about it without making any noise.

As long as you hand over the 'Golden Platform' to me, I will take advantage of the crowd of people watching the excitement outside the Shentai Palace in the past two days, take advantage of the chaos, inject it with internal power and shoot it into the Shentai Palace, and then use the crowd of onlookers as a cover. You can escape smoothly.

Most of the masters of the Shentai Palace are in the upper three peaks. The outer palace at the foot of the mountain is full of young outer disciples with low martial arts realm. With my level, I will definitely not be discovered by those young outer disciples.By then, this matter will be settled without anyone noticing. "

Ling You's words can be considered very sincere.

Apparently, when Han Changsheng mentioned the excitement of "asking questions" outside the Shentai Palace, his heart moved and he became more forgiving.

After carefully considering the feasibility and success rate of this matter, he made this statement with good intentions.

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhao didn't appreciate it.

She sighed and said, "Ling You, I know you have good intentions.

But I'm sorry that I can't return the 'Golden Platform' to Shentai Palace, but I really didn't steal this sword. "

Therefore, even if Lu Shangque loses his natal sword, he will not go searching for the so-called "thieves" in the rivers and lakes.

Ling You frowned and looked at her.

The expression on his face was extremely cold and serious. It seemed to be saying: Do you think I believe your lies?

He shook his head in confusion.

"Xie Zhao, when did this happen? Your people are right under the feet of Zhaoge City's Golden Platform. No matter how clever you are, what's the use of deceiving me and Han Changsheng?

No matter how good the famous sword is, you still have to be given life to take it. I don't know why you refuse to return the 'Golden Platform', but if it's not yours, why force it to keep it.

You are a transparent person, it is not my place to tell you this truth. "

Xie Zhao helplessly held his forehead and tried to reason.

"Ling You, you really think too highly of me. How could I, a Jin Yaojing with weak internal energy, poor martial arts and mediocre light skills, steal his natal sword from Shang Que in Shentai Palace? ?”

Ling Or smiled slightly and looked at her with a half-smile.

"You don't mean to say that you didn't steal the 'Golden Platform', but Lu Shangque himself gave it to you, right?"

Xie Zhao touched his nose.

"...If you insist on saying so, it's not impossible."

"--you."

Ling You stood up suddenly, obviously angry. He took a deep breath, held it back, and said softly:

"Stubborn."

It was obvious that he felt that Xie Zhao was being sophistical at this time.

Because no swordsman would give his natal sword away, there is no doubt about it.

——Unless the swordsman is about to die and has to find a new owner for his cherished sword, or pass it on to the master's descendants and descendants.

Xie Zhao smiled and did not refute.

It was rare for her conscience to realize that she was really anxious when she saw Ling or such a calm and honest person, so she patiently explained:
"Ling You, there is no need for lies between us, so I don't want to lie to you. I can only say that this sword cannot be shown to others for a short time."

——Even if it is its original owner.

Ling or slightly startled.

There was no extraneous expression on the girl's face, she was plain but spoke volumes.

He knew that although Xie Zhao seemed easy-going and had no temper or airs on weekdays, he was actually a stubborn person with a strong opinion in his heart.

She doesn't care much about most things. She doesn't care about other people's arrangements and decisions, and she won't go against them or seek the limelight.But there are some things, once she makes a judgment, she will never change or influence others.

It's just that Ling You really doesn't understand that she is a free and open-minded person who regards things outside her body as worthless.They have no pursuits, no ambitions, and they don’t even need much money, as long as they have enough to eat and survive.So why are you so stubborn and unwilling to let go when it comes to the "Golden Platform"?

Could it be that there is some hidden secret in this that he doesn't know about?

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly spoke and asked unexpectedly:
"You said your surname is Xie, and you are obsessed with the 'Golden Terrace', but what is your connection with the Xie family in Xunyang?"

Xie Zhao glanced at him in surprise, then let out a "squeak" and smiled half-seriously, but the words he said made it difficult for others to tell the truth.

"What are you thinking about? I only have a humble life, but I can't afford to be as high as the Xie family in Xunyang.

He is just a distant uncle of mine who is the housekeeper of the Xie family in Xunyang, and my surname also happens to be Xie.Coincidences are all coincidences. "

She thought about it and saw that he still looked inquisitive and confused, so she could only sigh and said:
"I'm not lying to you. I am indeed not from Xunyang. I have lived in Zhaoge for a long time, but I have lived in Xunyang several times."

Ling You frowned, trying to find logical logic in Xie Zhao's few words of "a hammer in the east and a broom in the west".

"So, you were also a slave of the Xie family, so when you lived in Xunyang for a short time, you visited your clan uncle, so you had the opportunity to meet the king of Xunyang County. Later, you accidentally recognized him in Zhaoge and rescued him once, and won him Give me jade as a thank you?"

Is that the Yujue who knocked on the door of the Ruyang Shen Mansion Courtyard for them earlier?
Xie Zhao paused slightly, then laughed and said, "That's right."

Ling You looked at her expressionlessly, but this didn't make sense at all.
The Prince of Xunyang County was born into a noble family. Even if he was ill, it was absolutely impossible for him to have no one around him, making Xie Zhao the "hero" who "saved the beauty".

But Ling You also knew that Xie Zhao must not have told him the truth completely, but was still hiding something.

He also understood from Xie Zhao's attitude that this was all they had to say today. No matter how much more Xie Zhao didn't want to say, he wouldn't be able to ask anything.

Ling You was silent for a long moment, seeming to be weighing Xie Zhao's words today in her heart. How many of them were true, and how many were false, or they were all just her excuses.

Xie Zhao, on the other hand, tightened the collar of his shirt, his face full of sincerity, without the slightest hint of guilt.

She looked up at the trees in the courtyard where the leaves were gradually falling, and suddenly said to herself:
"It's so cold. Autumn is coming to Zhaoge City."

Autumn is here, and the harsh winter is not far away.

In fact, Zhaoge City is like spring all year round. Except for ordinary people who may feel a little bit cold in winter, they will definitely not feel cold in the other three seasons.

But after a year of observing each other, Ling You knew that Xie Zhao seemed to be particularly afraid of the cold.

Although she is usually lively and cheerful and appears to be well-fed, she seems to be suffering from some physical insufficiency.

It seems that she fell off a cliff and was injured more than a year ago. Although her appearance has recovered as before, the damage was to her core.

So, after a long while, when Ling You spoke again, he just asked:

“The Shentai Palace is noble and sacred, and few people dare to approach it on weekdays.

If we don't take the opportunity to return the 'Golden Platform' this time, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will never happen again.

Are you sure you won't be killed if you don't return this sword? "

Xie Zhao couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he saw that he had really regressed and did not continue to inquire.

She knew that he had softened his heart again this time and did not want to embarrass her again.

"I promise," she said.

He gave her a steady look.

"it is good."

Since she dared to say that, then he dared to believe it.

It doesn't matter whether she is a fugitive sword slave of the Xie family in Xunyang, or whether she has an unknown old grudge against "Golden Terrace" Lu Shangque.

At worst, if one day, "Golden Terrace" Lu Shangque came to grab the sword, he would desperately block it for her, giving her a moment of chance to escape.

Ling or Sui stopped talking.

He nodded, stood up and prepared to go back to his room, continuing to breathe out his inner breath and cultivate his inner strength.

Xie Zhao looked at the young man's back disappearing at the end of the corridor, and silently raised his lip line, which was a self-deprecating laugh line.

Ling You, you don’t understand.

Only if the "Golden Platform" is always hidden in her hands and hidden from the light of day, will it truly not lead to death for her.
