Chapter 126 Incident
Hearing this number, Xie Yuan’s expression suddenly changed.
This breakthrough actually took so long!
He is in concentration and is unaware of it.
I didn’t expect that the Joyoung Flower plus the secret recipe liquid would be so powerful. I’m afraid even Situ Qin didn’t expect it, after all, she had never used it like this before.
Counting the days, the arena between the Escort Agency and the Diamond Gate... is tomorrow!
Xie Yuan frowned when he looked at the sky outside.
It’s too late! We must set off immediately and drive all night to catch up!
He rushed out of the guest house like the wind, not even bothering to wash up and tidy up.
In the waterside pavilion, Situ Qin was playing the piano by himself.
Her daily practice time was unbeatable, and Xie Yuan thought she was obsessed with music as much as her life - although it was true, she also practiced for the sake of practicing, and her diligence was no different from others.
The sound of the piano was lingering, floating by the balcony and the pool, but a figure suddenly rushed in.
Situ Qin's calm face lit up when he saw the person coming, and he said in a charming voice:
"Xie Biaotou, we are finally out...why are you in such a hurry?"
< br>She saw that Xie Yuan was a little anxious and asked quickly.
"Mr. Qingyang, do you have a reply?"
Xie Yuan spoke slowly.
Situ Qin immediately understood and stood up directly, with the layered skirt hanging to the ground. She wore a willow green dress, taking advantage of the early spring, reflecting the lake water, fresh and pleasant, and instantly beautiful.
However, Xie Yuan obviously had no intention of admiring it, and Situ Qin was also unambiguous. He pulled him directly and walked out, saying as he walked:
"Mr. Qingyang came yesterday and said that he should make this medicine. The medicine is not simple, come and see.”
The two quickly walked to a study room, and Situ Qin took out a box and opened it.
When Xie Yuan took a look, there was a black and sticky plaster-like thing inside. Unsure of its meaning, Situ Qin explained:
“This paste can be ignited, and its smoke has no smoke. The color is tasteless. If a person inhales it, there will be nothing at first, but gradually he will become weak. Moreover, if he is a martial artist, the more he uses his power, the more he will use it. The more vigorous the blood energy is, the faster it attacks. It must be suppressed by deep internal force, but it cannot cure the root cause, so it has to rely on antidote.
"This medicine is very clever, extremely powerful, the most deceptive to warriors, and it is extremely concealed, almost invisible. There is no possibility of discovery, even Mr. Qingyang has never seen this kind of prescription before, and I don’t know where Peng Yue found it. ”
Is there really a colorless and odorless drug? The stronger the warrior’s blood, the harder it is to resist?
Peng Yue was in charge of a state's prison and had seen countless crooked ways. It was not unusual for him to have this prescription. But this prescription was requested by Yu Chunsheng...
Xie Yuan looked ugly:
"No! I have to go back and notify the escort agency immediately, otherwise there may be a big disaster! Miss Qin..."
He said so Before he finished speaking, Situ Qin handed over a porcelain bottle with a brown pill inside:
"The antidote is here, Mr. Qingyang just sent it today. But he also cracked it temporarily, and only this one is available for the time being. .”
When Xie Yuan saw Situ Qin, he seemed to know what he was thinking. He took the porcelain vase, felt warm in his heart, and said gratefully:
"Miss Qin, thank you very much."
Zheng Qingyang is indeed the best. The number one doctor in Yunzhou, with a draft of an unseen prescription, could prepare the medicine, test its usage, and develop an antidote in three days.
But even he must have spent a lot of effort in these three days. Needless to say, how valuable the No. 1 doctor's time is. If it were Xie Yuan himself, he would definitely not have the face to let him work overtime.
Situ Qin waved his little hand carelessly and said:
"I have a few fast horses in my stable. Well, I know you are in a hurry, so I can lend you one." . Yunzhou Prefecture and Yunzhao are thousands of miles away. With the help of BMW, we can catch up in a day and night.
He led the horse and solemnly raised his hand to Situ Qin:
"Miss Qin, thanks to your care these past few days in Yunzhou Mansion, Xie Yuan has gained a lot. Well, I don't either Thank you very much, I will say goodbye now and see you again tomorrow.”
Situ Qin’s pretty face showed a smile:
"This is the right thing. You have a good journey, everything is done, and you can come back to play again when you are free!"
"Definitely!"
Xie Yuan got on his horse and bowed to Situ Qin again. He handed over his hand, turned his horse's head, and prepared to leave directly.
Situ Qin waved his hand behind him and suddenly said:
"Thank you, escort!"
Xie Yuan turned sideways and said in confusion:
"What's wrong?"
"No, you...be more careful."
Xie Yuan smiled and showed a few Spontaneous pride:
“I didn’t dare to say it when I came here. This time when I go back, the Vajra Gate is just a clown, so I can’t help it!
"Let's go!"
The horse carried Xie Yuan and galloped away, gradually turning into a small dot in Situ Qin's eyes.
She stood on tiptoe and watched for a while, then suddenly tapped her foot lightly, her tone seemed dissatisfied:
"He told me that I am very powerful, why don't you ask me for help?"
“Since Miss wants to help, why not take the initiative?”
The maid Xiaoqing said puzzledly beside her.
When a friend is in trouble, the lady is always generous, proactive and helpful. Why is it different this time?
Situ Qin paused, twirling his hair with his fingers, and said slowly:
"He didn't ask me to go, how could I catch up..."
Xiao Qing is even more confused, what's going on?
The little maid is too young to understand the gentle thoughts of her own lady.
Xie Yuan rode out of Yunzhou Mansion and galloped all the way north towards Yunzhao County. Under the reflection of the setting sun, a line of reddish smoke and dust appeared on the official road.
The red sun gradually disappeared into the mountains, and a silver moon jumped on the branches.
There are not many people left on the official road. Only Xie Yuan's horse hooves are like thunder, relying on the warrior's eyesight to lead the way by the moonlight.
Traveling under the starry night, covered with stars and the moon, thanks to the amazing strength of the horse's feet, when the golden light emerged from the east again, Xie Yuan could see Yunzhao County in the distance ahead.
Even though his inner strength had just broken through, he was still a little tired from traveling like this.
Fortunately, I should be able to catch up.
But seeing Linjiazhuang ahead, Xie Yuan was considering whether to stop his horse for a moment and drink a glass of water to regain his energy, when suddenly his eyes froze.
Outside the door of Linjiazhuang, soul flags are floating, paper money is everywhere, white curtains are hung high on the door, and people are doing white things.
He parked his horse next to the hitching post, walked quickly to the door, and asked the servant in mourning clothes:
"Excuse me, who passed away in the house?"
Seeing Xie Yuan's kind face, the servant looked carefully and said in surprise:
"You, are you the head of the escort who came that day?"< br>
"Exactly. I was here not long ago, why has anyone passed away in the past few days?"
Xie Yuan frowned, feeling a little foreboding.
With such a posture, the whole house is solemn, and the affairs are grand, it would not be on such a scale unless Lin Yuan's own parents died.
But that day, Lin Yuanwai had to introduce the eighteenth generation of his ancestors to Xie Yuan. His own parents had already passed away...
The servant's eyes flickered, but Xie Yuan looked serious. , his aura was calm, but he still whispered:
"It's just that the master is gone..."
"What?"
Xie Yuan was startled and heard again:
"There are also madam and many people in the house who are dead..."
Xie Yuan's eyes widened and he asked hurriedly:< br>
"What's going on?"
"That day, after you sent 'Miss' off, escort chief Xie, a fierce man with a big knife came..."
The servant's eyes showed fear, and after explaining tremblingly, Xie Yuan knew what happened.
It turned out that not long after he left that day, Lu Laosan found Linjiazhuang. After some questioning, Lin Yuanwai, who didn't know what was going on, couldn't answer and was killed on the spot by the horse bandit leader.
Lin Yuanwai died, and the entire Lin family village was in panic. Lu Laosan was impatient when he saw people killing people, and slaughtered half of the village before leaving again.
Xie Yuan heard this and clenched his fist tightly, shaking it just in time to touch the sword on his waist. He looked down and saw the sword hanging quietly on his waist.
On that day, Lin Yuanwai tied the sheath on his waist with his own hands and proudly said, "A precious sword is given to a hero." The scene is still vivid in my mind.
Xie Yuan took a long breath and said in a deep voice:
"Please take me in and put a stick of incense outside the forest officer."
The two servants at the door looked at each other. The servant hesitated and said:
“Xie Biaotou, you can’t go in.”
Xie Yuan was very surprised when he heard this, frowned and said:
"But why?"
It is the custom here in Yunzhao that if an older family holds a funeral, strangers will be in front of passers-by. Anyone who comes to offer incense is not stopped and even entertained, not to mention someone with some connections like Xie Yuan.
The servant couldn't answer, and the other one was very impatient and said:
"If it doesn't work, it won't work. How can there be a reason?"
Xie Yuan glanced over and saw that this servant had a ferocious look on his face and his mourning clothes were askew. At first glance, he looked like he was wearing them casually. The other servant I met was dressed more appropriately, but I was vaguely afraid of this servant.
His eyes flashed, he had a guess in his mind, and he said in a deep voice:
"I'm sorry."
Then Xie Yuan flashed and passed directly between the two servants. After that, he entered Zhuangzi.
“Hey, what are you doing! Come out!”
The vicious servant was startled and hurriedly chased after him, but he couldn't keep up with Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan arrived at the main house all the way and saw a heavy and huge sandalwood coffin placed in the house, with soul flags and curtains on both sides, all white.
On one side of the coffin were kneeling two young men, all in plain clothes, with sad expressions; on the other side there were several middle-aged men standing, wearing hemp and mourning, but their expressions did not show any sadness, but rather excitement. They were still arguing about something.
Xie Yuan Rufeng arrived and attracted the attention of everyone in the room. The middle-aged people gradually stopped talking, and one of the kneeling young people stood up. It was a fat young man who looked exactly like Lin Yuanwai. He asked in a hoarse voice:
"Guest" It’s...”
Xie Yuan didn't answer but asked:
"Are you the son of Lin Yuanwai?"
The fat young man was startled and nodded.
Xie Yuan looked at another kneeling pretty girl and was stunned for a moment before he realized that this should be Lin Zhen, the daughter of Lin Yuanwai, the real master.
I almost thought it was Miss Yun.
However, the Lin family's disaster was really caused by Miss Yun... Xie Yuan felt heavy in his heart.
Among the middle-aged people on the other side, the one who was vaguely leading frowned, and just in time to see the panting doorkeeper chasing after him, he asked in a deep voice:
"Why? Let outsiders come in?”
“He, he broke in by himself, saying that he wanted to offer incense to the uncle.”
The middle-aged man frowned deeper and said to Xie Yuan:
"This guest, thank you for your kindness, but my Linjiazhuang is in a troubled time..."
"When did Linjiazhuang become yours?"
Master Lin interrupted abruptly, The tone was full of anger.
The middle-aged man choked for a moment and said slowly:
"After the death of my eldest brother, I will naturally take charge of the family affairs. Cheng'er, you have studied. Don’t you understand your dignity? Why are you talking to your second uncle like this?”
"Bah! I usually only ask my father for money, eat, drink, whore, gamble, and do nothing. They are all blood-sucking insects. Now his body is not cold and he has not passed the first seven days, and you are clamoring in front of his soul to share his property. ! Are you still embarrassed to be an elder? Have you asked my father? Have you asked me?"
Lin Cheng shouted.
Mr. Lin's face was embarrassed for a moment, and then he hummed:
"You are young and have been studying outside. You don't understand the family's industry..."
"I don't understand, do you understand? You are frequent visitors to the brothel and gambling house. Dad has intended to train you to do things. It's just that when you ask for money, you call me diligently. When you ask for help, everyone runs away!
"Moreover, no matter how understanding you are, these things are not yours after the death of a father."
Lin Cheng is worthy of being a scholar. His words left several uncles speechless and said angrily:
“The elders make the decision in matters within the clan. , it’s not your junior’s turn to get involved! We will distribute your brother’s inheritance and we won’t starve you to death. Don’t worry about the rest!”
“How dare you!”
Lin Cheng was so angry. Roaring, I wanted to rush forward, but was held back by the sister next to me.
Lin Zhen sobbed:
"Brother, in front of my father's soul, don't do this..."
Xie Yuan watched this scene, not knowing what he felt in his heart.
There is nothing new in the world. Similar plays are performed at all times and in all places, but this time it happened to be in front of Xie Yuan.
He glanced at the big shining ring on Mr. Lin’s hand.
If I remember correctly, it was Lin Yuanwai's favorite. During their short visit to Zhuangzi, they both saw Lin Yuanwai caressing it many times and couldn't put it down.
It seems that now, or perhaps a long time ago, Mr. Lin is in his heart.
Xie Yuan folded his arms, stood aside, and finally said:
"I think it would be better for all the inheritance outside the Yuan Dynasty to be handed over to Mr. Lin for disposal."
This sound attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. Mr. Lin glanced at him and hummed:
"Who are you? Do you, an outsider, need to talk too much here?"
"Excuse me for being abrupt, I am Xie Yuan, the head of the Longteng Escort Bureau."
Xie Yuan cupped his hand, but Mainly for Lin Cheng and Lin Zhen.
“Are you Commander Xie?”
Lin Cheng and Lin Zhen were stunned for a moment and cried out.
Lin Zhen, in particular, looked at Xie Yuan up and down a few times, and then said sadly:
"That day, it was supposed to be escort chief Xie who sent me to Yunzhou Mansion, but I was restrained by a strange person and thrown into the cellar. ...When I wake up, my father, my mother, and Zhuang Zili..."
When she said this, she started sobbing again.
Xie Yuan's face was heavy and he nodded:
"Miss Lin survived the catastrophe, which is a blessing among misfortunes. That weirdo...I'm not sure of his identity, but that murderous person is The leader of the horse bandits in the Western Desert, a martial arts master named Lu Laosan. He came to hunt down that weirdo.”
Lin Cheng and Lin Zhen were shocked, and then they knew the whole story.
Lin Cheng looked up to the sky with grief and anger and shouted:
"How innocent my Lin family is to suffer this disaster! That weirdo implicated innocent people and will not die a good death!"
Xie Yuan coughed lightly With a sound, he said:
“The direct murderer is Lu Laosan.”
"Of course Thief Lu deserves death, but that weirdo is the root of the trouble, and he must not be punished either!"
Lin Cheng stared with bloodshot eyes, and Lin Zhen also showed hatred in his eyes, with tears streaming down his face.
Xie Yuan didn’t know what to say, so he could only sigh.
Several brothers from the same clan other than Yuan Lin first heard about Xie Yuan’s identity and then heard that the murderer was a master. They looked at each other with shock on their faces.
Several middle-aged people were shocked and confused. Mr. Lin looked at Xie Yuan’s waist with sharp eyes and said in a strange voice:
"That sword on your waist is the sword that elder brother has treasured for many years?"
Xie Yuan glanced at him:
"Yes, Lin Yuanwai gave me this sword before I left."
This blade has an extremely cold edge and extraordinary texture. It is indeed a rare weapon that can compete with the swords of Peng Wei, a second generation with top resources.
Lin Erye’s expression changed and he suddenly said:
"Brother asked you to protect the Lin family. Not only did you fail to protect anyone, but you also attracted evil people and brought trouble to the Lin family. It is a heinous crime. I won't hold you accountable, but you don't deserve to take this knife anymore. Give it back to me!" "
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and took it from Xie Yuan's waist.
