Two months later, we received an invitation from Lu You's messenger. It was delivered with the invitation and a letter.

"On October 20th, Shaoxing Lu Mansion, wait for you."

Li Xiaoqian looked at Dahong's invitation and looked extremely disappointed. He said, "Why do you have to? A tragedy."

I didn't understand why, and asked, "What does it mean?"

Li Xiaoqian did not explain to me. He just shook his head sadly and said, "It's a tragedy! Hongshu hands, Chaitoufeng, Chenyuan meet..."

On the day we set off for Shaoxing, Lou Qin took out an exquisite wooden box and handed it to me, saying, "This is a gift for Lu You, please take me to deliver it." She opened the wooden box and it was a pair of green jade mandarin ducks. The carvings were extremely exquisite and almost vivid.

I asked: "Don't you go to Shaoxing?"

Lou Qin smiled and said, "I still have to guard the inn."

The carriage stopped at the door, and Li Xiaoqian and I said goodbye to Lou Qin. The carriage shook lightly, and the wheels pressed on the bluestone road, making a "gla" sound.

Li Xiaoqian and I set out on the road again. We headed north the last time, and this time we headed south.

Shaoxing.

When Li Xiaoqian and I stood at the door of Shaoxing Inn again, I felt a little emotional. The past is vivid in my mind, but Yuantong no longer knows where he went.

Looking at the signboard of Shaoxing Inn, I felt even more moved and asked Li Xiaoqian: "Where did Yuantong go?"

Li Xiaoqian pointed to the sky. My heart tightened and I almost lost my voice: "Die?"

Li Xiaoqian said: "It's the secret that cannot be revealed, it's a fool."

There are three days left before Lu You's wedding. That night, I lived in the same room with Li Xiaoqian. For some reason, his mood was a little depressed along the way. I asked him what was wrong, but he didn't answer. He just sighed from time to time and said, "A tragedy."

That night, dark clouds covered the moon and the wind suddenly sounded. The windows of the guest room were blown away and rumbling. I felt a little uneasy when I lay on the bed, as if something was going to happen.

As expected, at the third watch, there was a "ding-ding-dang" sound of iron tools hitting outside the window.

Li Xiaoqian and I turned off the bed almost at the same time, lying on the window and looking out.

"Did you see it?" Li Xiaoqian asked.

I looked into the distance, and the darkness of my eyes was everywhere. I said, "I can't see it. It's too dark."

As soon as he finished speaking, a shaking light flashed in front of him, and a figure jumped in from outside the window. The moment he came in, his feet hooked onto Li Xiaoqian and me, and brought us to the ground.

In the inn, I got out and made a ball.

Li Xiaoqian reacted very quickly, turned around on the spot, pressed the man to the ground with Shaolin's grasping hand, and shouted sternly: "Who is it?!"

I vaguely smelled a strong fragrance, and the fragrance was very familiar, and the familiar fragrance made my heart pound suddenly.

"Xiaoyue?" I asked softly.

"Ji Danbing?" Xiaoyue was also shocked.

Li Xiaoqian hurriedly let go of his hand. I leaned over and could see Xiaoyue's handsome face vaguely, exactly like the one I was dreaming about.

"Why are you here?" Li Xiaoqian asked.

"Shh! Don't talk!" Xiaoyue hurriedly stood up and closed the window. She peeked out through the gaps in the window. Perhaps because she felt that no one noticed it, she closed the window gently and breathed a long sigh of relief.

I asked, "What happened?"

Xiaoyue said: "Someone chases me."

Li Xiaoqian smiled sly and said, "Who pursues you? How do you look?" I don't know

Why, I feel that there is another meaning in his words.

Xiaoyue kept looking around nervously, but did not see Li Xiaoqian's expression. She said: "I didn't see clearly, but from the sword technique, I was from the Kuocang Sect."

Kuocang Sect?!

Could it be that they are still worried about Xiaoyue killing the four thiefs?!

I asked: "Is it Chen Boyang?"

Xiaoyue said: "No. If it were Chen Boyang, I'm afraid I wouldn't have run away so easily."

Li Xiaoqian asked: "How many people are there?"

Xiaoyue said: "About a dozen."

I asked: "Why are you in Shaoxing?"

Xiaoyue said: "Senior brother got married, of course I came to Shaoxing for a wedding."

My heart tightened and I asked, "Is Lu Shi here too?"

Xiaoyue was a little unhappy and said, "How dare you call my master's name directly."

"I..." After being scolded by Xiaoyue, I suddenly felt a little panicked and said, "I'm just used to it."

Xiaoyue didn't pursue the matter anymore, and she said, "You can send me a letter."

I asked, "Where to go?"

Xiaoyue said: "These people will not give up. I want to contact the master as soon as possible and let him save me."

Go to meet Lu Shi?

I subconsciously covered my chest with my hands. The letter "The round letter has been removed" was still lying quietly in my arms. It seemed to have felt my nervous heartbeat, trembling with the ups and downs of my chest.

Li Xiaoqian asked: "Where is your master?"

Xiaoyue said: "Ten miles east of Shaoxing Prefecture City, Mulan Villa, you will hand this item to the people of Mulan Villa, and they will take you to see my master." In the darkness, Xiaoyue picked off the sword spike and stuffed it into my hand.

I really want to see Lu Shi. I felt even more nervous. But thinking that the only one who could rescue Xiaoyue was Lu Shi, I nodded and agreed, saying, "Okay."

Walking out of Shaoxing Inn. Li Xiaoqian and I looked around like thieves. Seeing that there was no one around, we rushed out of Shaoxing Mansion in the strong wind.

On the way, Li Xiaoqian asked me: "Did you still carry that letter with you?"

I said, "Yes."

Li Xiaoqian said: "When you see Lu Shi, you must not do this for you."

I asked, "Why?"

Li Xiaoqian said: "If you and I still want to come back alive, don't ask. If you have to ask, let me go back."

I said, "Okay."

Li Xiaoqian smiled and said, "You can teach me."

I said, "You go back."

Li Xiaoqian was stunned and scolded: "Damn, you are sick!"

I'm not sick. It's just that this question has been pressing down on my heart, like a thorn in my throat, and I can't vomit quickly. I've made up my mind and must ask.

Li Xiaoqian stopped. He pointed at my nose and said, "If you have to ask, I will go back now."

I don't want Li Xiaoqian to leave. If I go alone, it will make me even more nervous.

But, do you really have to give up that matter and stop asking?

A cold light flashed out from the gaps of the dark clouds, and the mysterious moon shook the clouds, bringing a touch of light to the endless confused night. At the same time, it also brought a white shadow.

The wind was still strong, stirring the white shadow's clothes, white hair and long beard.

I felt as if I had caught a life-saving sampan in the endless sea, and shouted excitedly: "Senior Bai!"

Bai Jingxing burped and walked towards us. He walked lightly, swaying left and right

, said vaguely: "Well, it's you two little ghosts again." He shook the gilded gourd in his hand, which shone with glazed like glass under the moonlight.

"Give it, I'll make a pot of wine for me." Bai Jingxing shook and threw the gourd on me.

He threw it too suddenly and I didn't catch it. The gourd fell to the ground with a "bang". The wind was still very tight, and I heard a crisp "click" sound in the "whistling" sound of the wind.

A hole broke into pieces.

Bai Jingxing sat on the ground with a clang, like a naughty child, patted his thighs and wailed: "My gourd! My gourd!"

This scene made Li Xiaoqian and I feel at a loss. We looked at each other and Li Xiaoqian whispered: "This old man is drinking too much again."

I walked forward carefully, patted Bai Jingxing on the shoulder and said, "You, are you okay?"

Suddenly, Bai Jingxing beat me up and stood up. He grabbed my shoulder and shouted "Follow me." I was carried by him and flew to the roof in an instant.

Under the moonlight, I looked back and looked at Li Xiaoqian. He was messy in the wind and shouted: "Senior, take me with me! I want to fly too..."

Li Xiaoqian's figure sank into the darkness, and his voice gradually blurred.

Bai Jingxing took me to an extremely remote alley. He had a serious expression but a bright look, and he was not as drunk as he had just been.

I asked, "Are you drunk?"

Bai Jingxing smiled and said, "I am just looking for an opportunity to bring you here."

I wondered, and asked, "Why bring me here?"

Bai Jingxing suddenly felt a little sad, and there seemed to be melancholy between his eyebrows and said, "How is the Beggars' Sect?"

I said, "Very good."
