My wife has a secret

Chapter 221 Source
……

The children of the Yang family grew up in the alleys of Huangling Pass, and Yang Caiyun was already familiar with every household.

It wasn’t difficult to find where Sun Baiqian lived. He lived in a simple house on the west side of the Great Wall, which was no different from the surrounding houses.

When Yang Caiyun brought the two of them here, the place was deserted, with only an empty door left.

There was a cup of cold tea on the table in the room, and from the temperature one could tell that the person had been gone for a long time.

"Sun Baiqian was already alert. In addition to the pot of tea, there were signs that the bed and cabinets had been searched... It seems that he knew that what he did would be exposed, so he tried to escape first."

As soon as he arrived at the house, Shen Shuangxu relied on his years of experience in investigating cases to analyze the other party's thoughts from every little detail around him.

She could almost perfectly recreate the scene and appearance of Sun Baiqian's escape, and knew his approximate height, weight, and even the panicked look on his face when he was packing his luggage.

Every detail in the house could not escape her eyes.

Such an impressive reasoning certainly aroused Yang Caiyun's curiosity.

"How does sister know so much?"

Shen Shuangxu approached the cabinet with a calm expression, opened the door and explained: "The door here is very loose, and the books piled inside are messy, which means that the person looking for something is very nervous. In addition, the yard outside the house is covered with messy footprints... The size and width of the footprints can roughly infer the age, height, and weight of the person."

"It's really amazing."

Yang Caiyun originally thought that although Shen Shuangxu was knowledgeable and talented, she was no match for her elder sister in all aspects.

After all, Yang Xianning is a recognized genius in the Yang family. Not only does she have profound attainments in martial arts and military tactics, which are unmatched by her peers, but she is also not inferior to others in reading and studying. She is a true all-rounder.

But now it seems that Shen Shuangxu is even more exaggerated than the rumors say, with extraordinary intelligence. The younger sister of the Yang family feels a sense of crisis for her elder sister.

"Judging from his footsteps in the yard, he should have run out the door... The Liao army was attacking the city in the northwest, so he might have changed his pace and fled towards the Qi territory."

After the war breaks out, many people will move south from the north because they cannot bear the chaos of war.

If Sun Baiqian were mixed in with these teams, it would be extremely difficult to find him.

After listening to Shen Shuangxu's explanation, Yang Caiyun said, "I'll report to my elder sister and ask her to send two fast men to capture him."

Just as she was about to go outside, Xu Qing suddenly noticed a black shadow in the sunlight at the door.

Years of experience with the White Lotus Sect made Xu Qing alert. He decisively reached out and pulled Yang Caiyun back, hooking her behind him.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a violent explosion occurred underground at the entrance of the yard, raising yellow sand.

The violent vibration caused the whole house to shake, and a corner of the house collapsed and was damaged. Fortunately, the main load-bearing beams were strong enough to support the entire house.

"There's no need to look for the person. He has already been dealt with by the sect."

A weathered and old voice came from outside the door. Xu Qing used his hand to push away the drifting dust and vaguely saw Tianji Star Lord wearing a fiery red mask.

The other person stood abruptly in the yard, wearing the Star Lord's iconic black robe, his eyes indifferent and peaceful.

"White Lotus Sect...is this another good deed done by you?"

Xu Qing thought about everything that had happened recently, and his mind suddenly became clear.

Judging from the appearance of Tianji Xingjun and his fighting methods, he seems to be a master of using gunpowder. Both the underground imperial mausoleum and the city wall this time used extremely powerful black gunpowder.

I should have figured out long ago that the White Lotus Sect was secretly instigating the bombing of the city wall.

"That's wrong. Sun Baiqian was not a member of the White Lotus Sect. I just helped him realize his dream and fulfilled his long-cherished wish... His death was also one of the prices he paid for his dream."

"you……"

Before Xu Qing finished speaking, Yang Caiyun behind him couldn't wait to refute him: "What nonsense are you talking about? Uncle Sun has always been kind to everyone, how could he do something that would endanger the safety of Huangling Pass?"

"That's because you haven't seen him before."

After saying this, Tianji Star Lord tilted his head slightly, and a hint of fluctuation appeared in his calm voice.

"You are the youngest girl in the Yang family, right? I haven't seen you for many years. You have grown so big... From the looks of it, you are almost the same height as your sisters."

Although Tianji Star Lord did not show any hostility when he was reminiscing and narrating, when Yang Caiyun saw this scene, she felt as if ten thousand ants were crawling on her body.

She never remembered knowing such a person, and the other party acted very familiarly and talked about her past.

Yang Caiyun hid behind Xu Qing timidly. Only in this way did she feel safe.

Tianji Xingjun saw Yang Caiyun's expression and movements, smiled amiably and said calmly, "Are you afraid of strangers? That's understandable."

Xu Qingze sensed something strange in Tianji Xingjun's words and asked, "Sun Baiqian has lived in Huangling Pass since he was a child, right? How did you know his thoughts?"

Tianji Star Lord's words just now were full of loopholes. As the Star Lord of the White Lotus Sect, how could he know so much about the thoughts of a craftsman in Huangling Pass?

Moreover, Yang Caiyun had lived here since she was a child and knew nothing about all this.

"Oops, I think I talked too much and accidentally exposed myself."

Tianji Star Lord said this with a smile, not looking nervous or flustered at all, just like an old man who had seen a lot of vicissitudes of life and casually mentioned a joke.

"But it doesn't hurt to tell you. After all, if you investigate these things a little, you can find out my identity. That girl has been staring at me from the beginning. I'm afraid she was estimating my height and body shape, right?"

Shen Shuangxu was shocked by what Tianji Star Lord said. She really wanted to remember the other party's appearance so that she could go out and investigate.

But looking at Tianji Star Lord's indifferent look, it seems that he has no intention of letting the three people get out alive.

Tianji Xingjun didn't pay attention to the three people's thoughts, but spoke to himself, "When Sun Baiqian was young, he didn't want to be a craftsman."

Xu Qing followed up on the other party's question and asked, "How did you know?"

Yang Caiyun also didn't believe the words of the masked weirdo. She knew Sun Baiqian and didn't think he was hiding anything.

"Of course I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears... The Sun family was struggling to support themselves back then. My father was the only laborer in the family and he died in the battle when the Liao army invaded the border."

When Yang Caiyun heard Tianji say this, her previous disdain gradually disappeared, leaving only shock.

Because what the other party said was actually somewhat similar to the Uncle Sun that he knew.

"After his mother remarried, Sun Baiqian became the breadwinner of the family at the age of ten, supporting his younger brothers and sisters and his elderly grandmother by farming."
