Chapter 71
Song Jiuxi flew lightly to a roof, her eyes slowly swept around, and suddenly chased in one direction.

Seeing her chasing her, a masked man in black dodged into a dark alley.

Song Jiuxi didn't hesitate and followed in.

In the damp back alleys of the houses, dark green sewage flows from the ditches under the eaves, exuding a rotten smell.There are still bloodstains of dead dogs on the bluestone pavement, and there are even dark bloodstains of unknown origin on some walls.

Song Jiuxi fell to the ground holding her breath, and she walked in without changing her expression.Suddenly there was a sound of piercing in the air, Song Jiuxi sideways dodged, and a hidden weapon flew out of her head.

Song Jiuxi followed the voice and appeared in front of the man in black the next moment.

The man in black knew he couldn't hide anymore, so he shot violently.Song Jiuxi's eyebrows and eyes were extremely cold, and his moves became more and more calm.

The man in black moves fiercely, his fists open and close, and his internal strength seems to be inexhaustible.

Song Jiuxi let out a cry of surprise, and the man slammed his fist on Song Jiuxi's shoulder. Song Jiuxi's shoulder sank, and his slender body slid away like a fish.

The rough voice of the man in black sounded: "Lingyun Pavilion's Lingyun footwork is really extraordinary."

Song Jiuxi frowned and looked at him: "Who the hell are you?"

The man sneered, the sound sounded like the tip of a knife slicing across the wall, harsh and rough.

"I'm afraid the Lingyun Pavilion doesn't know that someone outside Lingyun Pavilion has practiced Lingyun footwork to the seventh level."

Song Jiuxi asked: "Your Excellency is from Jianghu? You know Lingyun Pavilion so well."

The man snorted coldly, and suddenly flicked his sleeve robe. Song Jiuxi thought he was about to launch a hidden weapon, so he dodged to avoid it, but the man disappeared in the same place the next moment.

When Song Jiuxi came back to his senses, the man had disappeared without a trace.

Song Jiuxi searched for several streets but couldn't find this person. It was like a drop of water mixed into the wide ocean, and he disappeared in an instant.

This man just came here to kill Butler Wang, and after fighting Song Jiuxi, he seemed to be hiding his moves, not wanting Song Jiuxi to see it.

Song Jiuxi went to Deyun Tower first and asked Fu Chenyun to investigate this person.

But Fu Chenyun said: "According to what I have learned about the capital over the years, there is no such person in the capital."

Song Jiuxi also suspected that he was from the Jianghu, but if he was from the Jianghu, what was the purpose of this person and even the people behind it.

The Marquis of Changping was given a title, but in fact Song Wenzhi didn't have any real power, and even the crown prince didn't value the grand tutor very much.

However, someone appointed Steward Wang in the Changping Hou Mansion, and Steward Wang was also implicated in the death of his mother.

The more Song Jiuxi checked, the more he felt that her mother's death was complicated. Who exactly killed her.

The clue was broken again at Butler Wang, and Song Jiuxi looked very bad.When she returned to the Yan Mansion, she saw Fang Long kneeling at the bottom of the three steps in front of the house, with the Suguang Saber in front of her knee.

"Master." Fang Long lowered her head and said, "It's because my subordinates didn't do their job well enough to protect Butler Wang."

Song Jiuxi asked, "How long have you been kneeling?"

Aunt Qing replied, "I've been kneeling here since I came back."

"En." Song Jiuxi responded, turned and entered the room without saying a word to Fang Long.

Aunt Qing looked at Fang Long, then at Song Jiuxi in the room, and then sighed.

Fang Long felt more and more uneasy. She knew that she had surrendered to Song Jiuxi, and Song Jiuxi had never really trusted her.

She used to help the Qiu family with things, and also helped Song Wanwan deal with Song Jiuxi.If it were another person, she would not believe her surrender.

And she originally took refuge in Song Jiuxi because she wanted to take a gamble.But these days, she was by Song Jiuxi's side because she had seen Song Jiuxi's ability with her own eyes, and knew that she had made the right bet.

She believed that with Song Jiuxi's ability, she could find evidence that the prince murdered Fang's family.

Now she is only loyal to Song Jiuxi, without any intention of betrayal.She really regarded Song Jiuxi as her master.

But this time she let Butler Wang be killed at her hands. Fang Long felt guilty and uneasy, and didn't know how Song Jiuxi would punish her.

If let her go, or kill her...

Fang Long didn't dare to think about what she was about to welcome.

When Yan Shubai entered the yard, he saw Fang Long kneeling in front of the house, raised his eyebrows slightly.None of the servants who came and went in the courtyard dared to speak.

Yan Shubai pushed the wheelchair into the house, said with a smile: "My lady is back so soon, I thought she would stay in the Song Mansion for a few days."

"What's the use of a place like that?" Song Jiuxi glanced up at him, then continued to read the medical book in his hand.

Yan Shubai only felt happy when he heard this, and now his yard has really become Song Jiuxi's home.

"What did you eat at Song Mansion at noon?"

Song Jiuxi suddenly remembered that she didn't even have a meal when she went back.

It's really a big loss.

If she stayed to eat, she wouldn't be the one who couldn't eat anyway.

Seeing Song Jiuxi's eyes, Yan Shubai understood, and immediately ordered the small kitchen to prepare the meals and send them over.Yan Shubai picked up a piece of mille-feuille pastry and put it to Song Jiuxi's mouth, and said with a smile, "We will fill our stomachs first, and then eat when the food comes."

Song Jiuxi opened his mouth subconsciously, and the sweet and greasy aroma of the thousand-layer crisp was mixed with a faint medicinal fragrance.

That was Yan Shubai's bitter medicinal smell soaked into his skin after drinking medicine in bed all year round.Song Jiuxi has dealt with various medicinal materials a lot recently, but finds the fragrance of this medicinal herb very refreshing.

Yan Shubai handed the second piece of mille-feuille to Song Jiuxi's mouth, just as she finished eating the first piece.

Yan Shubai stared at her and fed her three yuan in a row.

Song Jiuxi didn't know it, and when Yan Shubai stopped feeding, she raised her eyes, and looked straight at Yan Shubai with a pair of thin and cold eyes.

She glanced at the mille-feuille plate that Yan Shubai had moved away, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes.Then she straightened her lips, lowered her long feather fan, and fell back onto the page.

This little emotion is like a flower that has bloomed, causing her cold expression to crack, revealing a lovely and moving side.

There was a smile on the corner of Yan Shubai's mouth, and his eyes were as gentle as water.After seeing Song Jiuxi's expression enough, he coaxed and said, "I'll eat right away, I've eaten too much snacks, and I won't be able to eat for a while."

Song Jiuxi pursed her lips, and said "um" after a while.

Yan Shubai laughed even wider, if he didn't want Song Jiuxi to be scared, it would have been more than just feeding snacks just now.

Yan Shubai sighed inwardly, take your time.

The servants brought the food, and when they passed by Fang Long, they all lowered their eyes and dared not speak.

Song Jiuxi picked up the chopsticks and said lightly, "Get up."

Fang Long froze for a moment before saying, "Thank you, master."

Song Jiuxi said: "Go to Aunt Qing to get some ointment, and come to me after recovering from the injury in the past two days."

"Yes, master." Fang Long said.

When Fang Long left, Yan Shubai smiled and said, "After today, Fang Long will be absolutely devoted to you."

The master has rewards and punishments, warmth, and deterrence, so that he can shake people's hearts.

Fang Long went from Song Wanwan's side to Song Jiuxi's side. Although Song Jiuxi was a suspicious person, he didn't need to be suspicious, but it also depended on how to use this person well.

If Song Jiuxi wanted to make good use of Fang Long, Fang Long's heart must be by her side.

Today's intimidation must have been well known in Fang Long's mind.
