Half-life immortal

Chapter 123 I Can Lend Your Courage
"I--"

Xu Shili was speechless, and his voice stopped abruptly after half a word, as if he didn't know what to say to refute her.

Xue Qinglan was so annoyed when she heard that, she thought, Senior Brother Xu, where has all your usual brilliance and martial energy gone?Although I don't know what happened, but to put it bluntly, isn't it just a quarrel!Make a big fuss about the insignificant side details in her words!Even if it doesn't make sense, interrupt her momentum first, this is a quarrel strategy, understand?
When it comes to quarreling, this is her old profession, she wished she could take Xu Shili's place and have a good fight with this woman, and let out the resentment that has accumulated for a long time.

It is said that people get angry easily when they are in a bad mood, but Xue Qinglan always believes that this logic is the opposite.It should be because I was in a bad mood and wanted to find a way to vent it, so I deliberately found someone to quarrel.Of course, it is best for a gentleman to use his mouth but not his hands. If his strength allows, he can upgrade from quarreling to fighting!
Aunt Qiu refused to let go, and then shouted: "You! You look like your cold-blooded father! I was blind and misread you! I didn't expect you to be such a cruel and ungrateful person! Your heart He is more hateful than your father!!"

Xue Qinglan heard that Xu Shili didn't refute her, but the old lady became more and more scolded. At first, she used honorifics, but later she became unscrupulous. The most important thing is that she obviously still There is the meaning of continuing to curse.Xue Qinglan understood the horror of a woman scolding someone.This time, she was not only motivated to find someone to quarrel with, but also to complain for Xu Shili!

Isn't Senior Brother Xu also very eloquent?Why are you speechless from beginning to end like a dumb person today?No, I really can't stand it anymore! !Senior Brother Xu, please do your best!

She was extremely annoyed and listened attentively, but she didn't hear anything from Xu Shili.His temperament is relatively modest and calm, and he doesn't look like a quarrel material, what a disadvantage!

She finally couldn't bear it any longer, jumped onto the wall, and shouted in their direction: "Hey! Have you scolded enough, bitch! You can scold me, too?"

It doesn't matter when she yelled, Xu Shili and Aunt Qiu were shocked at the same time, they didn't expect their conversation to be overheard.

Xu Shili knew it was her as soon as he heard the voice, and he was not surprised to think how she would appear here and now.Before he could react, Xue Qinglan had already jumped over with agility, climbed over the two walls like clouds and flowing water, stood on the top of the nearest wall and shouted condescendingly: "How dare you say that my brother is cold-blooded, I You are blind! Hmph, don’t think that my senior brother’s gentle personality means he’s easy to bully, tell you, I can’t tolerate people like you saying that we—”

Aunt Qiu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xu Shili suspiciously, wondering what he was planning to do, and who was this woman who appeared suddenly?Did he arrange it in advance?What is the purpose?

This sudden situation was obviously beyond Xu Shili's expectation, he whispered to Aunt Qiu: "You go first, we'll talk about it later."

Xue Qinglan quit, jumped off the wall, and walked aggressively towards Aunt Qiu.Regardless of her young age, once she has the momentum to find someone to quarrel with, she can't lose to anyone.Although Aunt Qiu was still angry just now, she couldn't help shrinking a little when she met this aggressive strange girl. Hearing Xu Shili's words, she hurriedly lowered her head and left from the back alley.

Xu Shili went up to him and held Xue Qinglan back, saying, "Junior Sister Xue, why did you come here?"

Seeing Aunt Qiu go away, Xue Qinglan said displeasedly: "Brother Xu, don't drag me, I haven't said what I should say! Why is that woman like this, so fierce and unreasonable! You are not angry?"

Xu Shili sighed, and comforted him: "Junior Sister Xue, please don't be angry, the reason for this is very complicated, I will explain it to you slowly when I get back, okay?"

Xue Qinglan couldn't vent her grievances smoothly, so she was naturally upset, and said displeasedly with her hands on her hips, "No. I'm very unhappy now, senior brother, you are so good, why are you being scolded for no reason? What is she? people?"

Xu Shili paused, and under her scrutinizing eyes, he still said: "She is the prime minister's wife. The prime minister died unfortunately a few days ago, and now she is alone."

Xue Qinglan frowned slightly, as if this woman's status is not low... The prime minister's wife, isn't that quite a high-ranking official... By the way, I just glanced at Aunt Qiu's clothes, although she changed her clothes to deceive others. Wearing more ordinary clothes, but it is still difficult to completely conceal the nobility, at first glance, she is not an ordinary woman.I don't want to be a high-ranking official... Although Xue Qinglan doesn't like such a noble woman, she has to admit that a woman who can get into that position must have some skills, and it is definitely impossible to just be beautiful.

However, she only paused briefly, and then said: "I'm not asking about her status, I'm asking about your relationship with her? I heard you call her Aunt Qiu. Could it be that your family has some relationship with the Prime Minister?"

"This……"

Xu Shili obviously hesitated, as if unwilling to answer this question directly.Or there is something hidden in it, because Xue Qinglan found that as long as his family background was involved, he would become hesitant, as if there was something unspeakable.

Xue Qinglan is not an idiot, she is like a mirror in her heart.She had long noticed that Aunt Qiu called Xu Shili "His Royal Highness", and her slightly humble tone at the beginning could make a prime minister's wife use a humble tone, and Xu Shili's hidden identity was ready to be revealed. .

"You... are you..."

She hesitated to speak, and almost blurted out the guess in her heart, but finally she didn't say it, she shook her head secretly, and changed her words: "Forget it, it's okay. Everyone has their own secrets."

She thought of the scene that Feng Yutian saw today, since she didn't want her hidden side to be known by others, she should not forcefully ask other people's privacy.Xu Shili will always say it when he wants to say it. If he doesn't want to say it, that's okay, anyway, she is [-]% sure that the guess in her heart will not be wrong.

Xu Shili smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you."

Xue Qinglan stared at him and thought to herself: If the guess is correct, he should be Da Luo's prince without a doubt, but he is so young and grew up in Taiqing Mountain, so could it be that his mother was the one who raised him when he was very young? Did he send him to Taiqing Mountain to avoid court disputes?Indeed, if his queen mother is a woman with no background, she really can't protect her children in a place like the palace alone. Alas, the women in the palace are weirder than the other, and their brains are soaked. Is this place really that scary?

After thinking about it, she lost her mind, but she was convinced in her heart that he was a prince with an unimaginably noble status... But, even if he was a prince, he must be her senior brother!Forget it, anyway, she has nothing to do with half a copper coin in the palace. Whether he is a beggar or a prince, what difference does it make to her?

She put all those messy thoughts behind her, laughed and said: "Brother, don't be so sad! Even if it's troublesome or something, you don't have to pay too much attention to it. I think she must have been confused just now No one will take the words of anger seriously, right?"

Xu Shili smiled, forced a smile, and said, "Actually, it's not all. Aunt Qiu is a cautious person, and what she says is not all anger, it should be from the heart."

"No way!" Xue Qinglan said exaggeratedly: "Brother Xu, listen to me, I said you are a super gentle and good person, na na na, those people wouldn't be able to tell without my eyes. But if you If they are not good enough, then I think the gods in the sky are not good enough."

"Hehe," Xu Shili smiled, and said, "Junior Sister, you really know how to comfort people, how can you compare me to a fairy god?"

Xue Qinglan lightly punched him on the shoulder, and said, "I'm serious, you are the most perfect person I've ever seen. But perfect people occasionally encounter difficulties! If you need courage, I can lend you!"

Xu Shili asked doubtfully, "Courage? Can I borrow it?"

Xue Qinglan took it for granted: "Of course! Why can't you! Look at me, have you always been full of courage? Don't you feel a little bit of courage when you look at me? Hehe!"

Wisdom and courage have always been her motto. It's hard to say how brave she is, but she really speaks clearly in her words, which can easily infect people.And she was right about one thing, if she was with a person with great courage, then the companions around her would definitely be infected involuntarily.

Xu Shili also looked at her, and suddenly felt that her eyes were especially bright tonight, as if they were about to cover the stars in the sky.

Is this her light?really dazzling...

He unconsciously had such an idea, and with a gentle smile on his face, he said, "Okay, then thank you for your courage."

Seeing that the enlightenment was almost successfully concluded, Xue Qinglan turned slightly serious, and changed the subject: "By the way, brother, I have something very important to discuss with you."

"Well, you said."

"Before that, I want to make sure, do you believe me?" She stared at Xu Shili firmly, because what she was going to say next was related to Yi Ting.She can't guarantee that Xu Shili will believe her. To be honest, she doesn't believe that Yi Ting will murder Feng Yutian. If it weren't for Ling Ling's affirmation and Situ Xiu's appraisal, she wouldn't even doubt Yi Ting ... No, even at this moment she is still not completely sure of Yi Ting's intentions.She was even more uncertain that Xu Shili would believe things that she herself was not sure about.

But she can't complete the plan in her heart by herself, especially she just had a quarrel with Feng Yutian, if she goes to find Feng Yutian at this time, she doesn't know how he will react.And this plan definitely needs Feng Yutian's assistance, if Xu Shili is a lobbyist, then the chance of success will be greatly improved.

On the other hand, there are some things that she is not suitable to come forward, because Yi Ting knows that she has something to do with mixing drugs. If she really has ulterior motives, she will definitely be wary of what Xue Qinglan said, and the possibility of her falling into the trap is very small.And Xu Shili has an almost authoritative position among the crowd, and no one can ignore what he said.

But Xue Qinglan's most entangled question is, if Yi Ting is really innocent, wouldn't she ask Xu Shili to participate in it and put him in an unjust situation?Involving others is not what she wants, she just wants to find out the truth.

No matter how entangled she was, Xu Shili did not have the slightest mental pressure, and said without hesitation:
"I believe you."

He said these three words very strongly, perhaps because of Xue Qinglan's inner thoughts, she felt that these three words were like some kind of promise, and she felt a heavy sense of trust on her shoulders.

Xue Qinglan hesitated instead, and said: "But, I only have such a conjecture, and I don't have any evidence in hand. So... If I'm wrong..."

Xu Shili smiled and said, "Junior Sister, didn't you just say you should be brave? Why care about right and wrong?"

Xue Qinglan nodded, thinking that she was right, she also said that she should use courage to touch others, so she shouldn't be entangled in such a trivial matter now.Just do what you feel in your heart.

It is also easy to draw conclusions if you want to weigh the pros and cons.Think about it, if Yi Ting is really innocent, at most she will be wronged, but in the end she will be innocent.But if she really has bad intentions, the consequences of letting her go are dire.In the end, it is very likely that Feng Yutian and even other people's lives will be taken.

She finally made a decision, without hesitation, said: "That's good. Brother Xu, you may not believe everything I say next, but please listen to me."

She couldn't tell about the fact that she had Ling Ling, so she could only start with the kitchen, saying that she had doubts about the inexplicable soup and didn't let Feng Yutian drink it for safety's sake.What she said later was the truth, but she didn't know Situ Xiu's identity and name, and only described Situ Xiu's appearance and the process of meeting him from beginning to end in detail, including what he said was a drug addict. detail.

"Mixed poison?" Xu Shili couldn't help pondering, and said: "I've heard that there are several very terrible poisons among poisons, among which the most terrifying is sky poison, and the most difficult one is mixed poison. Mixed poison is not only poisonous It is extremely strong, and it can be used in a variety of ways, so it is often difficult to detect, so unless you are a master of poison, you will not use mixed poison easily, so as not to affect yourself."

Xue Qinglan shook her head and said, "I have little knowledge, but I've never heard of drug abuse, but I think that person is very powerful, and he speaks clearly and logically, so he would lie to me without reason."

Of course, she said so, but in fact she really doubted Yi Ting because of Ling Ling's words.

She was not familiar with Situ Xiu at all, and it was not her habit to trust a stranger she had never met.As for Ling Ling, she has been with her for a long time, and she knows everything well, and Ling Ling also helped her several times in Yinxu, which made her trust Ling Ling very much.Since Ling Ling said there was a problem with this, it was of course difficult for her to turn a blind eye.It's just that she couldn't tell Xu Shili directly about this link.

I don't know if it's her eloquence or Xu Shili's trusting people too easily, but he didn't question her words at all, but directly believed her words, and said, "If that's the case, what are your plans, Junior Sister?"

Xue Qinglan naturally had some thoughts in her heart, but she didn't rush to speak, instead she asked Xu Shili's opinion first, and said, "Senior brother Xu, what about you? What do you think?"

Xu Shili murmured: "Well... Then, does Junior Sister Yi Ting know that you have started to doubt her?"

"I probably don't know. We haven't met since then. It's a coincidence that I met you on the way back to the inn. I haven't talked about it with anyone else yet."

Xu Shili took a deep look at her and said, "Do you want to tell Sixth Junior Sister and Liang Junior Brother?"

Xue Qinglan said: "If you ask for my opinion, it's best not to tell. If there are too many people who know, it will inevitably startle the snake. Brother Liang and Xiaoting have a good relationship, and he is the easiest to reveal the rumors. As for Senior Sister Yulian... ...She has soft ears, and she may show her feet unintentionally."

To put it simply, she doesn't trust Liang Boxan and Yulian at all.Even though she didn't have a few words with them, she analyzed everyone thoroughly in her heart: Liang Boxan obviously has intentions for Yi Ting, but it's just the kind of unrequited love that falls on purpose. If Yi Ting hadn't If she likes Feng Yutian, does she have a good impression of Liang Boxan?Does Liang Boxan know some unknown inside information?Or to take a step back, even if he doesn't know anything, it's hard to say whether he will be on Yi Ting's side or Feng Yutian's side when he knows.This is a big uncertain factor, of course Xue Qinglan is not willing to look for trouble.

Besides, Yulian, of course she doesn't really think that Yulian's ears are soft, on the contrary, in her eyes, Yulian is a woman who dares to love and hate, and has a strong sense of justice, but Xue Qinglan can also tell that she really likes it Feng Yutian's, if she hears the wind, maybe she will do some drastic actions, Xue Qinglan also doesn't want to make things more complicated.

Xu Shili was very accommodating to her, and said clearly: "Well, it makes sense. Since Junior Sister Yi Ting didn't know about it, we had the upper hand, but according to what you said, you were just guessing, and it could have been used as an opportunity. The mixed poison of the evidence has also failed. To put it bluntly, we only have doubts about her, so I’m afraid it’s not easy to do it directly. Why don’t we find a way to design a trap to lure her into action.”

Xue Qinglan said happily: "Well, you agree with what I think. It's just that how to design this trap still needs to be planned in detail. According to my opinion, it's better to be simple and just do the trick."

Xu Shili is also a smart person, so he immediately understood what she meant, and said, "Okay, I understand. Then let's split up."

With that said, he was about to turn around and walk towards the inn.

Xue Qinglan bit her lip, hesitated for a while and called him to stop, saying, "Senior Brother Xu, wait a minute!"

"What? What else is there?" Xu Shili is obviously planning his next speech, because according to what Xue Qinglan told Situ Xiu, time is running out, and if they don't hurry up, their plan will fall apart. .
