23. A big fight (4)
"Okay." Duanmu Huichun answered subconsciously, and then she felt a sense of uneasiness. The masked man climbed into the bed in the middle of the night while he was sleeping. Ji Qinglan asked this, is there any temptation?
Ji Qinglan personally poured a cup of tea and said with a smile: "I've been busy recently, and I can't help but not take care of you. If you have anything to say, don't hide it in your heart."
Duanmu Huichun felt overwhelmed and smiled dryly, saying, "I eat well here and live well and have no work to do. I am leisurely and free, which is really great."
"Oh?" Ji Qinglan said, "I heard that this girl Ape has been pestering you for the past few days."
Duanmu Huichun secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It was Miss Ape who remembered that I was new and took care of me."
"Is that right? She has never taken care of others before. It seems that she has really grown up." Ji Qinglan said, looking at Duanmu Huichun meaningfully.
Duanmu rejuvenatedly, if he didn't understand what he meant, he followed him with a smile.
Ji Qinglan picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said seriously: "Since you want to live in a foreign guest, you must know a few things. First, this medicine room must not go without my instructions." He paused and continued, "There is nothing inside, but I have studied a few □□. These □□ are of great medicinal properties and are not easy to dissipate, so if you don't go rashly without my instructions, you will inevitably be injured by accident."
Duanmu nodded in a hurry when he recovered from spring.
"The second is that you must not interact with people who live outside the stranger." Seeing Duanmu Huichun's face showing uneasy expression, he smiled slightly, "Of course, the master of Jueying Peak is an exception. The master of the peak is very powerful, and he is a dragon and phoenix among people. It is a blessing for you to make friends with him for three lives. Moreover, the master of the peak will leave this place at the end of July. It is rare to see him, so you might as well let go of your arms."
Duanmu Huichun said: "Actually, I am not familiar with the Peak Lord, it's just him..."
Ji Qinglan cut off his words and said, "Although the behavior of the Peak Lord is sometimes unexpected, if you have a deep friendship with him, you will naturally know that he is kind and a rare friend."
...
The time of talking lies with your eyes open is comparable to Ji Wudi!
Duanmu Huichun lowered her head and continued to nod.
"Ah Huan can't remember it clearly. I just hope she can't remember it clearly." He seemed to realize that his tone was too serious just now, so he deliberately joked a few times before sending Duanmu Huichun back in the name of reading.
Duanmu Huichun wanted to stay, but later he heard Ji Qinglan say that he liked to read books alone.
When I came out, I saw Ape picking flowers in the yard outside the study.
Duanmu Huichun walked to her and said, "What kind of flower is this?"
Ape glanced at him, "Idiot, don't you recognize Gesanghua?"
Duanmu Huichun initially wanted to use this to talk, but when she got closer, she really couldn't recognize it.
Ape said: "This was planted here by the leader himself."
"Oh?" Since the masked man broke into the night, Duanmu Huichun thought that Xin Ha and Ji Qinglan were tacit intrigues. But now when Ape heard that Xin Ha actually planted flowers for Ji Qinglan himself, he felt that it was not what he was doing. "Why not plant it outside the young master's bedroom?"
Ape said: "The leader thought, but the young master was unwilling. The young master didn't like any flowers and plants inside and outside the bedroom."
Duanmu was slightly surprised and then suddenly realized that Ji Qinglan was good at poisoning, so he was afraid of poisoning. Most flowers and plants were all medicinal. If someone wanted to use it, it was unknown if it became poisoning.
Ape asked, "What did the young master ask you to do?"
Duanmu Huichun said, "Does I sleep well?"
"Just that?" She was a little disappointed and happy, "Actually, just ask me about these small things." She took it over and gently shaved Duanmu Huichun's face and said, "Seeing that you are not upset or upset, you know how reliable you sleep at night."
Duanmu's rejuvenation was invisible to distance the two of them, "I'll go back to my room first."
Ape glared and said, "Have you eaten?"
Duanmu paused under his feet.
"Isn't you hungry?" Apeli turned around and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to have something delicious."
Duanmu Huichun wanted to refuse, but soon remembered what he had just figured out, and his heart softened slightly and followed. In fact, although there was only one thing, after careful calculation, it could be divided into many replies. Many coincidences he thought were like pearls strung together by thread after the masked man's night visit, shining with his brilliance.
The first pearl was the time Ape took him to the medicine room. He thought Ape was just boring, so he brought him with him, but now he thought about it, she was actually reminding him of the dangers in the medicine room. Several more times afterwards, she kept telling him to be content with his own composure and his attempt to leave. After these things were connected, wouldn’t it coincide with the promise made by the masked man and what he encouraged him to do?
Based on this, it is very likely that those book boys died at the hands of Ji Qinglan because of the masked man. Ji Miaohua obviously knew about this. It may also be a reminder when he mentioned the book boy.
The more Duanmu thinks about it, the more shocked he becomes.
In this way, the masked man's every move is under Ji Qinglan's control! Even the masked man came to find him in the middle of the night but couldn't escape his eyes. Then the words Ji Qinglan asked him today, "I've slept well recently" were not ordinary greetings, but a temptation to him. As for Ji Qinglan's later mention of Ape, perhaps because of Ape's sake, reminded him.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huichun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. After a hurry, he hurriedly went back to the room with dizziness when watching the competition during the day.
When he returned to the room, the first thing he did was to check the room up and down, back and forth, and then he breathed a little relieved after confirming that there was no bamboo tube for eavesdropping and peeping.
For him, it was nothing to be discovered by Ji Qinglan that the masked man had come to him. Anyway, he was not going to be a scapegoat as the masked man said. However, his identity must not be known to Ji Qinglan, especially since he still doesn't know what grudges Ji Qinglan has with the Demon Sect, otherwise his fate might be even more miserable than the previous book boy.
He sat in bed and thought for a while, but felt that he could not think quietly, so he sat cross-legged and used his true qi to rush the stagnation of the meridians.
It was not until two hours later that he opened his eyes, and a thought suddenly flashed through his blank mind.
Why not turn passive into active?
Since Ji Qinglan already knew that the masked man had come to him, he simply told Ji Qinglan and Pan everything. In this way, it was Ji Qinglan who should be troubled. He thought so because he could see that Ji Qinglan did not want to offend the Holy Moon Sect, otherwise he would not have turned a blind eye to the fact that some people in the Holy Moon Sect repeatedly instigated their book boys.
After making up his attention, Duanmu Huichun felt a slight burden in his heart. He was about to lie down to sleep when he heard the familiar sound of plucking the wooden tamper in the direction of the window.
His movements became stiff, so he simply sat up and waited. He felt like he was lying on the bed and was pressed against his neck with a knife. He didn't want to try it a second time.
So, as soon as the masked man came in, he saw Duanmu Huichun sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at her with bright eyes. Seeing that he did not yell, she was stunned for a moment and quickly replied: "You are tactful. I heard that you went to see a martial arts competition today?"
Duanmu Huichun said, "Yes, it's really wonderful to go back and forth between the two sides."
The masked man said, "If those fists and feet fall on you, do you still find it wonderful?"
The smile on Duanmu Huichun's face suddenly turned into a bitter smile, "This, of course, is not exciting."
The masked man said: "Military people are different from literati. When literati fight, military people take action. Especially in the Western Qiang, it is common to fight with one word of disagreement."
Duanmu Huichun's face turned paler.
"Scholars like you won't live for many years in the Western Qiang." The masked man intimidated.
Duanmu Huichun complained secretly. Not only can't laugh when he heard such words, but he also pretended to be worried and scared. He asked, "Do you want me to act?"
The masked man said suspiciously: "Do you really want to act?"
At least it is better than continuing to listen to the intimidation. Duanmu Huichun said timidly: "I just want to finish listening early and go to bed early."
Masked man: "..."
