Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Upside Down All Beings

She repeated the most legendary and romantic name in the world again, her voice was still flat, as if she was not surprised that the word "Chu Liuxiang" was looked down upon so indifferently... Especially It was probably the first time that a woman looked at him so indifferently. Nangong Ling bowed and said, "I didn't dare to bring outsiders to disturb Madam, but this Mr. Chu has a deep connection with our clan, and his coming here has something to do with our clan's affairs..." Mrs. Ren said indifferently: "The matter in the gang has nothing to do with me, so why come looking for me?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "But this matter has a great relationship with Madam." Mrs. Ren said, "What's the matter?" Chu Liuxiang took a look at Nangong Ling, and pondered: "Ximen Qian, Zuo Youzheng, Lingjiuzi, and Zamuhe, these four seniors, my wife must recognize them, and I am here because they are related to them." While he was talking, he was paying attention to the changes in Mrs. Ren's expression. Although he couldn't see her face, he noticed that her calm shoulders seemed to tremble suddenly. Then, she suddenly stood up and turned around. Chu Liuxiang has been waiting for her to turn her head, waiting to see her insane face, when her head turns, Chu Liuxiang's heartbeat can't help but speed up.

But when she turned around, Chu Liuxiang was completely disappointed. Her face was covered with a layer of black veil, even her eyes were covered, she was so stingy with her appearance, she didn't want others to take a look. Chu Liuxiang could only feel that her sharp eyes had pierced through the black veil and looked at his face... even penetrated his body and looked into his heart. But he did not bow his head, no one in the world can make Chu Liuxiang bow his head. Mrs. Ren stared intently, for a long, long time, when she spoke, her voice became calm again, and she finally said slowly: "Yes, I know these four people, but it was twenty years ago , why do you bother me with these things that even I myself have forgotten?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "But Madame wrote to them recently, didn't she?" Mrs. Ren asked blankly, "A letter?" Chu Liuxiang looked directly at her in the sunlight, and said, "That's right, letter! The letter said Madam has some difficulties and asked them to come to help. I am here to ask Madam what is the difficulty?" Mrs. Ren was silent for a while, and said lightly: "I don't remember ever writing such a letter, I'm afraid you read it wrong?" Chu Liuxiang seemed to be stuffed into a raw persimmon suddenly, and he felt bitter, astringent, and bored. He couldn't figure out why Mrs. Ren refused to reveal the secret of this letter.

But he did not give up, and said loudly: "Madam did indeed write that letter, I will never read it wrong." Mrs. Ren said coldly: "How do you know you can't read it wrong? Do you know my handwriting?" Chu Liuxiang was stunned again, unable to speak anymore. Mrs. Ren turned around, knelt down again, and said, "Nangong Ling, when you go out, close the door yourself, forgive me for not seeing you off." Nangong Ling quietly pulled Chu Liuxiang, who was in a daze, and said, "Since Madam said that she never wrote that letter, it must have been faked by someone else, let's go!"

Chu Liuxiang murmured: "Impersonator... not bad." His gaze suddenly turned to the ancient porcelain vase, and he said, "Could it be that the bones of old leader Ren were cremated?" Before Mrs. Ren could speak, Nangong Ling hurriedly said: "The sect members of the Beggar Clan are mostly cremated after death. This is a rule passed down from generation to generation by the Beggar Clan." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "I only hate that I won't be able to see the old gang leader for the last time. It's really a pity." Mrs. Ren suddenly said again: "You don't have to regret it. My husband died suddenly after being sick for many years. There are not many people who can see him for the last time. You'd better go!"

Chu Liuxiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and said, "Thank you, madam." Mrs. Ren said: "I haven't been able to help you much, and you don't have to thank me." Chu Liuxiang said: "Yes." He backed out quietly, but he was chewing on Mrs. Ren's last two sentences. These were two very ordinary sentences, but he seemed to find them full of flavor. The two returned to Jinan all the way, Nangong Ling seemed to know that Chu Liuxiang was in a bad mood, so she didn't bother him, but just quietly accompanied him. When we arrived in Jinan, it was already late at night on the third day.

Only then did Nangong Ling sigh: "Brother Chu went back and forth in vain, and younger brother also feels very disappointed." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "I was meddling in my own business, but I caused you to run with me, so I should treat you to a drink or two." Nangong Ling smiled and said: "If you drink with Brother Chu once, you'll have to be drunk for at least three days. Brother Chu, please forgive me!" Chu Liuxiang was wishing that he could leave as quickly as possible, and laughed loudly: "I'll spare you this trip, but if you don't leave, I'm afraid I'm going to change my mind again."

Before she finished speaking, Nangong Ling laughed and walked away clasping her fists. As soon as Nangong Ling left, Chu Liuxiang rushed to the edge of Daming Lake. This time, without any effort, he found the black pearl, and when the black pearl saw him, his pearl-like eyes became darker and shinier, he jumped up from the boat, and said, "You saw Qiu Lingsu? " Chu Liuxiang said: "Although someone wanted to stop me, I still saw her." Black Pearl asked: "Is she really beautiful?" Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "Why are you like a girl, you don't ask me what she said, but first ask me what she looks like, but it's a pity that her face is covered with a black veil, and I haven't seen her face .”

Hei Zhuzhu seemed to be more disappointed than Chu Liuxiang, sighed, and then asked, "What did she say?" Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly: "She said that she no longer remembers writing such a letter." Hei Zhuzhu was startled, and said, "Didn't she write the letter?" Chu Liuxiang sighed: "If she really wrote those letters, she would have known that Ximen Qian and others had died for her. How could she lie to me? Wouldn't she want me to reveal this secret for her?" Heizhu was stunned for a while, then murmured: "Yes, she did not have a reason to lie to you, but..." He suddenly grabbed Chu Liuxiang's hand, and said in a broken voice, "You said her face was covered with a black veil, didn't you? "

Chu Liuxiang said: "Yes!" Heizhu asked: "Could it be that what you saw was not Qiu Lingsu, but someone else's disguise?" Chu Liuxiang said: "It's definitely not someone else's disguise." Hei Zhu said: "You haven't even seen her face, so how do you know she's not someone else's disguise?" Chu Liuxiang sighed: "Although I haven't seen her face, who in the world can pretend to have such a voice and such a demeanor? What's more, if she is fake, no one will stop me, don't want me See her." Hei Zhuzhu finally let out a long sigh and said, "So, isn't this secret impossible to reveal?" Chu Liuxiang smiled slightly, and said, "In Chu Liuxiang's eyes, there will never be the word 'impossible'." Heizhu sneered and said, "What's the word in your eyes? I'm afraid it's 'boasting'?" Chu Liuxiang ignored him, turned his eyes around, and said, "Is the person I want you to pay attention to for me still in the future?" Black Pearl said: "It's already been here." Chu Liuxiang was overjoyed and said, "Did you see her? Where is she?" Black Pearl said: "Dead!" The word "dead" came out of his mouth, although it was easy to say, to Chu Liuxiang's ears, it was like a thunderclap, and the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. Chu Liuxiang jumped up, grabbed Heizhu's shoulder, and said in a broken voice, "What did you say?" Heizhu said: "I said she was killed." Chu Liuxiang said: "You...you saw it?" Black Pearl said: "I saw it." Chu Liuxiang's eyes were about to burst, she grabbed Heizhu's shoulder with all her might, and hissed, "How could you watch her being killed? You... don't you have a heart?" Heizhu's shoulder was almost crushed by him, but he gritted his teeth and did not move. Although there seemed to be tears in his eyes, he still said coldly: "So what if I don't look at you? You didn't ask me to protect her, besides, I don't know her at all, whether she is dead or alive, what does it matter to me?" Chu Liuxiang stared at her, slowly let go of his palms, his body was shaking, and finally sat down with a puff - Su Rongrong died! This extremely intelligent and infinitely gentle girl died, he really couldn't believe it, he really couldn't believe that there was someone in this world who had the heart to kill her. Heizhu's big eyes also stared at Chu Liuxiang, bit his lips and said, "Is that woman really so important to you?" Chu Liuxiang hissed: "You will never know how important she is to me. I would rather be cut to pieces than have her suffer any harm." Hei Zhuzhu was silent for a while, then suddenly became excited, stomped her feet and said, "You can just feel sad for her, but I don't have to feel sad for her, and you have no right to make me feel sad for someone I don't know, do you?" Chu Liuxiang jumped up again, grabbed his shoulder again, and said, "Yes, you don't have to be sad for her, but you have to tell me, who killed her?" Heizhu's chest rose and fell, and after a long while, she said in a deep voice: "She came yesterday evening, she was in the pavilion, looking around, I knew it was the person you mentioned, and was about to go..." Chu Liuxiang said sharply, "But you didn't go there, did you? Otherwise, she wouldn't have died." Hei Zhu said: "I haven't passed yet, four people have already walked up to the pavilion, these four people seem to recognize her, said a few words to her, she also seems to be greeting her with a smile." Chu Liuxiang immediately asked: "What do these four people look like?" Hei Zhu said: "I am far away from them, and I can't see their faces clearly. I can only see that they are all wearing green robes, which look very eye-catching." Chu Liuxiang sneered and said, "When you are going to hurt someone, you still wear such eye-catching clothes, there must be deceit in it." Hei Zhu said: "That's right, they deliberately want people to pay attention to their clothes so that they won't pay too much attention to their faces, but the clothes can be taken off at any time." Chu Liuxiang said: "You know this too, why don't you pay special attention..." Hei Zhu coldly interrupted: "I didn't think of this until later. I was not a god at the time, so how could I know they were going to kill people? Since I knew the woman I saw, I naturally wouldn't pay attention." Chu Liuxiang sighed and said, "How did they do it?" Hei Zhu said: "Since they seem to be talking very speculatively, I don't want to intervene. I saw that the four men in green robes seemed to want her to go with them, but she shook her head and refused. These four men pointed and talked for a long time , but she just smiled and shook her head, the four of them seemed to be helpless, they clasped their fists together, as if they were going to leave." Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but asked, "What happened next?" Heizhu sneered and said: "What happened after that...there is no more, just as they clasped their fists together, the four of them shot out hidden weapons in their sleeves at the same time. There were many hidden weapons, fast, and close to each other. Although the woman jumped up, she was already It was too late, just heard a scream, she had knocked down the railing and fell into the lake." Chu Liuxiang tremblingly said: "Then... those hidden weapons really... really hit her?" Hei Zhuzhu said: "It didn't hit her, so could it still hit me?" Chu Liuxiang gritted her teeth and said, "You saw her being plotted against, could it be...could it be..." Heizhu loudly said: "What do you think I am? Is it a wooden person? I was surprised when I saw her being plotted against, but by the time I rushed over, the four men in green robes had already left without a trace , although the lake water is constantly bubbling up with blood, the corpses are nowhere to be seen." Chu Liuxiang didn't wait for him to finish, she turned around and rushed out. Hei Zhuzhu looked at his figure that was more vigorous than a swallow, and suddenly sighed softly, and said: "I never imagined that such a strong and calm person would sometimes be sad and excited. This person who can make him sad, even if he dies, he should die." It’s a blessing.” The railings on the Wind and Rain Pavilion have been carefully repaired, and the lake under the railings is also very calm. The evening wind blows into the pavilion, carrying the fragrance of a young girl after a new bath, and the faint starlight, as gentle as a lover's tears. Everything, there is no trace of murder. Chu Liuxiang couldn't imagine that someone had the heart to kill that beautiful girl in such a beautiful place. He wanted to find one or two marks on the railing where they were nailed with hidden weapons. Can find out who they are. But the railings have been replaced with new ones. These people are careful and thorough in their work, just like girls who put on makeup before a blind date. Enemies don't just need wisdom and courage, they also need some luck. Anyone can see that what Chu Liuxiang lacks now is some luck, it can be said that he lacks too much. Chu Liuxiang was leaning against the railing, and the crystal starlight seemed to be hazy. Suddenly, a small boat swung from the center of the lake. At the front of the boat, an old man in wooden clothes and a hat was drinking by himself. He walked past the wind and rain pavilion, looked up and down at Chu Liuxiang, and suddenly smiled and said, "If young people want to drink away their sorrows, you might as well get on the boat and have a drink with the old man." A few cups." This fisherman is not bad. Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose and jumped onto the boat. He never knew what false politeness is. He picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all. Many worries..." Handing the wine bowl to the fisherman, he said: "Does the old man have enough wine to pour down his chest with depression?" The fisherman seemed to have been used to the careless men in the world, he picked up the wine bottle, poured a bowl full for him, smiled slightly, and said, "Why are you weeping on such a beautiful day?" Chu Liuxiang looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Crying? Chu has never known what it's like to cry in his life!" The laughter gradually stopped, and he put down the wine bowl heavily, as if he couldn't even drink the wine. The fisherman stared at him blankly, and suddenly heaved a long sigh, saying: "If you are so sad for me, I don't care. If you're really dead, it doesn't matter." Chu Liuxiang jumped up, grabbed the "fisherman" by the shoulder, and said involuntarily, "Rongrong is you...is it really you?" He didn't care that it was in a small boat on the big lake, and he didn't care whether the light boat would capsize, he hugged her whole body, laughed and said: "I knew you wouldn't die, I knew you didn't People can bear to kill you." Su Rongrong hugged his neck tightly, leaned against his ear and smiled softly: "Let me go, aren't you afraid of being seen?" Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "I'm just hugging a little old man, so it doesn't matter if someone sees me." He pinched her nose with one hand, and said: "Song Tian'er and Li Hongxiu are enough to give me a headache. I don't want you to be more naughty than them, deliberately making me so anxious." Su Rongrong said softly: "I don't want you to worry, I just want those people to think that I am really dead, and they will never come to guard against me again. Do you think I have the heart to make you worry?" Chu Liuxiang put her down gently, stared at her face and said, "Did they hurt you?" Su Rongrong sighed: "Those four people are really ruthless and vicious when they attack. Fortunately, I have already seen it, otherwise... otherwise I am afraid that I will never see you again." Chu Liuxiang said bitterly: "They are able to deal with people like you. Such people really should be beheaded. Tell me who they are?" Su Rongrong sighed: "How can I recognize them?" Chu Liuxiang wondered: "But you talked to them, didn't you?" Su Rongrong said: "Yesterday, I was waiting for you at the pavilion, four people came suddenly and asked me if I was Miss Su, and said that they were all disciples of the Cinnabar Gang, and that you asked them to come pick me up." She smiled sweetly and continued: "But I know, you know that I am waiting for you, and I will never call anyone else. You know that I hate meeting strange men the most, so I became suspicious and refused to talk to you." They walked together, and if I saw them winking quietly, I was already on guard against them." Chu Liuxiang sighed: "Fortunately, you know me, and I will never annoy you... But why didn't you simply restrain them and force them to tell their stories?" Su Rongrong said: "These people are vicious and well-planned. If I control them, someone will come later. I don't know if I can resist them, so..." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "So you should pretend to be hit by their hidden weapons, so as not to babble." Su Rongrong smiled and said, "You know I don't want to fight with people the last time." Chu Liuxiang said: "But what happened to the blood coming out of the lake?"
