Chapter 375 Misunderstanding
A spring rain didn't come at the right time. The sky was gray and overcast, adding another layer of gloom to the already depressed people's hearts, like a boulder pressing on the heart, unable to move.

By noon, the light rain had already fallen sparsely, falling on the ancient bluestone road in Yangzhou City. The wet rain made the bluestone slabs darker, adding a bit of mottledness and depth to the ancient road with a long history.

"Da da da da."

The rain wet not only the bluestone and people's hearts, but also slowed down the pace, and even the crisp sound of horseshoes in the past became draggy.

At the end of the ancient road at a glance, a group of more than thirty cavalrymen slowly passed the city gate and appeared in front of the people in the city.

"Xiao Niang, they are here." In the teahouse by the side of the road, Qing'er was standing in the private room facing the street, pointing to the team of cavalrymen who had just entered the city gate, and said to Xiao Yuexian.

Xiao Yuexian looked up, and in the distance, it was the figure of Duan Cui, the commander of the Gusu Mansion, who vaguely appeared, and behind Duan Cui, there were soldiers under his command and an uncovered carriage.

The carriage was still far away from them, and because the people in front blocked their view, they could only vaguely see that the carriage was covered with straw and dragging something.

Looking at it from a distance, although it was not real, Xiao Yuexian had a very bad premonition in his heart, his heart was tense like a string, and his eyes unconsciously stared at the carriage, not half an inch away. shift.

"Tick tock, tick tock."

As the sound of rain falling on the window sill kept ringing in Xiao Yuexian's ears, the carriage got closer and closer to her, and finally the outline of the things carried on the carriage gradually became clear in her eyes.

Xiao Yuexian could see that there was a person transported in the carriage, but this person's complexion was pale, and he didn't see any blood, and even the rain kept hitting him, he didn't seem to move a bit. Obviously, the person lying on the carriage was already dead. .

This carriage came from Suzhou, it was the place where Zuo Youxian had been staying these days, Xiao Yuexian looked at the clearer outline on the carriage, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Duan Cui, as the commanding officer of the Gusu Commanding Army Mansion, is considered an important figure in the local area. It is not unusual for someone to be sent to Yangzhou by himself. Although Xiao Yuexian did not want to admit it, she knew that the scene she was determined not to see, Already happened.

As the carriage got closer and closer, she could already clearly see that the lifeless man lying on the carriage was none other than her mentor Zuo Youxian who raised her since she was a child.

She is very familiar with Zuo Youxian's face, but the current Zuo Youxian is not the appearance of always holding Zhizhu in her memory, but a dead silence, without any vitality.

Xiao Yuexian had never met Duan Cui face to face, but Xiao Yuexian knew Duan Cui, and she didn't know whether Duan Cui knew her, so when the carriage got closer, she didn't dare to stare at it any more, and quickly endured it. The pain in my heart was so severe that I didn't dare to poke my head out any more, and sat back.

"Xiao Niang, it's an immortal teacher." Xiao Yuexian recognized it, and Qing'er naturally recognized it too. Qing'er's eyes immediately became moist, and she pointed out the window and said to Xiao Yuexian.

Zuo Youxian has been kind to Xiao Yuexian and Qing'er in nurturing them. Zuo Youxian brought Xiao Yuexian and Qing'er out of Jiangling back then, and they are what they are today, but they didn't expect that only half a month later, it was already a world apart. .

Xiao Yuexian looked at Qing'er's eyes filled with tears, and felt relieved in her heart, and suddenly felt a lot more empty in her heart.

"Master Zuo has only been to Suzhou for half a month, why is it like this." Xiao Yuexian felt as if something had collapsed in his heart, tears filled his face, and his voice trembled, as if he was talking to himself.

Qing'er's eyes were already reddish, she gritted her teeth, and said to Xiao Yuexian: "Before we received news that the immortal master was ambushed at Qionglong Mountain in Suzhou, looking at today's situation, the person who ambushed the immortal master must be Duan Cui without a doubt. .”

Xiao Yuexian asked: "Why did Qing'er say that?"

Qing'er replied firmly: "Last year, the Immortal Master ambushed Li Ke and took him away. Li Ke had harbored a grudge for a long time, and must have been looking for an opportunity to take revenge. I think Duan Cui's proud appearance just now is probably due to his collusion. Li Ke betrayed the immortal master, so I went to ask Li Ke for credit this time."

Although what Qing'er said was arbitrary, but after thinking about it, it is true. If not, it would not be the first time that Zuo Youxian and Duan Cui have done business. Why did something go wrong this time and they lost their lives?
Xiao Yuexian said: "So, this time, from Duan Cui's private sale of arms, to the ambush of the Zuo Division, from the beginning to the end, this is Li Ke's trap?"

Qing'er said: "The immortal master has always been cautious in his actions and never made rash advances. He didn't want Li Ke to be cunning and set up a trap with the use of weapons to kill the immortal master."

Xiao Yuexian listened to Qing'er's words, the immortal master was dull for a while, and then nodded slowly.

Li Ke is only sixteen years old, if he is an ordinary boy, he may not have such scheming to do such a thing, but with Xiao Yuexian's understanding of Li Ke and Li Ke's means, it is not surprising to make such a situation.

For a moment, Xiao Yuexian felt a trace of remorse in her heart. She was bewitched by Li Ke on the Honghu Lake, and she let Li Ke go, so she has today.

If she had been more ruthless when she was on the boat, she would have shot the bow and arrow in Li Ke's back and taken his life, and there would have been no bad results like today, and Zuo Youxian would not have lost her life.

Xiao Yuexian sighed: "It's all my fault. If I had killed Li Ke, I wouldn't be here today."

Qing'er didn't know that Xiao Yuexian walked away from Li Ke on the Honghu Lake that day, and he thought Xiao Yuexian was just regretting that he couldn't kill Li Ke on the spot after capturing Li Ke.

Qing'er comforted: "Young lady, you don't have to blame yourself. No one could have expected what happened today. What's more, Li Ke was kept for the sake of the overall situation and the idea of ​​the immortal master. The most urgent thing right now is to get the immortal master's body. Come on, it must not just fall into the hands of Li Ke, Duan Cui and others, and let them humiliate you."

At this time, Duan Cui was still heading north with a group of cavalry, and the carriage dragging Zuo Youxian's corpse was still following them, but they had already passed the teahouse and gradually walked away.When Xiao Yuexian looked out again, she didn't know whether it was rain or tears that wet her eyes, her vision was already blurred and she couldn't see clearly.

Zuo Youxian is already dead, and it is right to go to the earth for peace, let alone Zuo Youxian is still a cultivator.But right now, Zuo Youxian's body is still in Duan Cui's hands, being dragged on the cart to let the wind and rain blow, and he can't restrain himself. Seeing this scene in the eyes of Xiao Yuexian and Qing'er, who were raised by Zuo Youxian, it is in his heart. How can it be a taste.

Xiao Yuexian said: "Master Zuo's body must be taken back, but now Master Zuo's body is still in Duan Cui's hands, this matter needs careful consideration."

Qing'er heard the words, immediately became anxious, and immediately said: "Little mother, this matter must not be delayed. If it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that Master Zuo will be decapitated by Li Ke and Duan Cui, and sent to Chang'an Chang'an to ask for merit." .”
