I don’t know if he was talking about the current situation or his own irritable mood.
"Don't worry about these things for now." Xie Chongyue smiled again and pushed the plate of snacks next to him over: "Frowning makes you look older."
"You'll be representing Jianmen at the Golden Spear Contest, right?" he asked. "Have you ever wondered why the Golden Spear Contest is held together with the Flower Contest?"
Xu Shiqing didn't even look at the plate of snacks. He said, "It's simply to cover up the plague, or to wash away the bad luck that's been in the city these days."
An event of this magnitude would indeed be very lively.
He paused and said, "You want me to withdraw from the conference?"
This is not difficult to understand.
"Yes." Xie Chongyue nodded and said, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi and his men decided to use this Golden Sword Conference to draw other people's attention and cover up the storm in Huaibei."
"Is he from there too?" Xu Shiqing stood up quickly.
"Don't get involved," Xie Chongyue said. "If His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi also decides not to care about this matter, there's no chance of overturning the Huaibei case."
"...So Huaibei must be hiding something." Xu Shiqing said, "You know what it is, but you all decided to cover it up."
"Yes." Xie Chongyue nodded. He didn't think he could hide it from Xu Shiqing. The young man in front of him was much more insightful than King Qi, Liu Xiangsheng and others thought.
I just don't know if this temper is stubborn or not.
"Then I will still participate in the Jinge Conference." Xu Shiqing said: "You can't stop me."
Stubborn.
Xie Chongyue thought about it and didn't say whether he wanted to stop it or not, which made Xu Shiqing hit a snag and didn't get any words out of him.
.
"So Wen Cairou never left the Wen family mansion?"
Xu Shiqing was still wearing the clothes that were convenient for night movement. It was still dark outside, and everything was quiet.
He has been running around and investigating things in recent years. The Huaibei case is a knot in his heart, and he knows that this is also a knot in Xie Chongyue's heart.
However, he only checked the surface of the things, and his ability to steal at night became more and more proficient with practice.
"Yeah." Xie Chongyue's tone was very depressed when he said this: "She is dead."
Xu Shiqing paused: "You didn't mention this just now."
"He's too much of a nuisance." Xie Chongyue commented ruthlessly: "I don't have time to hold him down, so don't act on your own."
Xu Shiqing said: "Even if we don't talk about him, he's still fluttering around."
"..." Xie Chongyue's expression was subtle for a moment: "It's better than struggling to the end and dying."
Given Han Chengyu's personality, it's hard to say how he would react when he found out that Wen Cairou was gone.
...But does he really not know?
Xie Chongyue thought to himself, after all, when it comes to stealing, hiding, and martial arts, Hua Xuanlan is the ancestor of the world.
Her apprentice is definitely not an easy person to deal with.
The Wen family's house covers a large area. When Xu Shiqing saw it for the first time, he wondered if the officials in Suzhou and Hangzhou would mind.
After all, this house is as luxurious as the home of the Jiangnan prefect. Most of the officials in the government are very concerned about face and pay attention to etiquette, especially since Wen Zhao is a businessman.
They flew over rooftops and walls, drifting into the house like butterflies. Among the Wen family's guards were many martial artists, but their martial arts skills were not very advanced, so it was easy for Xu Shiqing and Xie Chongyue to hide from them.
Under the cover of night, a dry well stood alone in the backyard of the woodshed. The ground was overgrown with weeds, the sky was dark, and it was so gloomy and cold that a wronged ghost would jump out from any corner.
Xu Shiqing approached the well. It was not wide, only enough for one person to go down. He looked inside. It was pitch black. He could vaguely see something inside, but in a blink of an eye, it was dark again, making him feel like he was dazzled.
"Here?" Xu Shiqing didn't dare to believe it.
No matter how you look at it or listen to it, there's nothing here.
Xie Chongyue hooked the claw to the edge of the well and pulled it to make it firm.
"Yes." Xie Chongyue nodded. He still hadn't revealed the source of his information, but Xu Shiqing had gotten used to it. He always trusted his friends.
Xu Shiqing watched him go down the well first, clinging to the edge of the well anxiously. After a while, Xie Chongyue pulled the rope, signaling him to come down.
There is a hidden world at the bottom of the well, and there is even a secret passage that is only wide enough for one person to pass through.
Xie Chongyue was in the secret passage, and then he swung it. The claw hook shook, and the button loosened, so he naturally took it back smoothly.
"Here... doesn't Wen Zhao know?" Xu Shiqing saw the secret and his pupils shrank slightly.
"He doesn't know." Xie Chongyue walked in and heard the young man following closely behind him.
"He bought this house from the Zhang family and has not made any major changes." This means that this secret passage is the Zhang family's secret and Wen Zhao doesn't know about it.
But how did Xie Chongyue know?
Xu Shiqing began to have a headache again. He felt that Xie Chongyue was too weird and too mysterious. Although he was willing to tolerate and trust him, sometimes he was really suspicious.
They walked all the way to the end and came to a stone chamber. Xu Shiqing took the torch from Xie Chongyue and walked forward.
——It’s an account book.
.
"You, you are Qiu Wuyi, no, Qiu Wuyi is you?"
The young swordsman was still holding in his arms the plum blossoms that the people in the martial arts world had picked for him in a teasing manner. The red and white plum blossoms made the part of his snow-white neck that protruded from his collar look particularly white.
He still looked bewildered, as if he didn't know why the friend who had just seen Jinling off had turned into another person and even fought with him.
Xu Shiqing always gave people the impression that he wasn't even half-century old. Perhaps it was because his eyes were so clear, it was hard to imagine he was an old man who had been walking the streets for three or four years.
