Chapter 635: Autumn Water Is the Spirit and Jade Is the Bone, White Hands Gently Touch the Beauty
Early the next morning, when Chu Liuxiang met Su Rongrong in Jinan, he learned from her that no man had ever entered Shenshui Palace. After comparing the news, the two concluded that Qiu Lingsu had something to say, and then used a trick to trick Nangong Ling and Wu. The flowers were dragged in place, and finally they borrowed Black Pearl's horse and galloped all the way south. When they rushed back to Nishan panting and sweating, they saw Liao Gang and Ye Jin standing guard in front of the hut all night.
Chu Liuxiang was stunned, "Brother Jin..."
"Chu Liuxiang, why are you back again?" Jin Banhua opened the door of the hut and asked Chu Liuxiang, "Are you afraid that I would rush back to Jinan and ask you for the white jade beauty, so you ran away early?"
Chu Liuxiang was speechless, and then he saw Qiu Lingsu walking out behind Jin Banhua.
Still elegant, with black gauze covering her face.
But Chu Liuxiang felt a little blocked and a little bitter.
He finally knew why Jin Banhua didn't go back to Jinan with them, but what he couldn't figure out was why Qiu Lingsu entertained Jin Banhua and even spent the night in the same room with him.
"Master Chu is indeed here." Qiu Lingsu nodded towards Chu Liuxiang.
Chu Liuxiang looked around and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I'm not too late."
Qiu Lingsu smiled slightly, without comment, and just asked Chu Liuxiang, "Xiang Shuai, do you have a question for me?"
"Exactly!" Chu Liuxiang nodded solemnly.
"I have prepared tea. Xiangshuai, please come in and sit down. If you have anything to say, you can say it slowly," Qiu Lingsu said.
"Excuse me."
Chu Liuxiang clasped her fists and entered the room, sitting opposite Qiu Lingsu.
Jin Banhua sat between the two of them grandly, "Since you are here to ask Mrs. Qiu a question, why didn't you ask her yesterday? Instead, you rushed back to Jinan and back again. Aren't you tired?"
Chu Liuxiang sighed, "Of course it's because there are some questions that I couldn't ask yesterday."
"Is it because of Nangong Ling?" Jin Banhua asked.
Chu Liuxiang was shocked, "You know?"
Jin Banhua nodded matter-of-factly, "Mrs. Qiu had something to say yesterday. Wasn't it clear that she was wary of Nangong Ling? It means that Nangong Ling had studied too little and couldn't tell. As long as he stays in the prince's mansion for two days, he can tell that something is wrong."
Chu Liuxiang, "..."
Qiu Lingsu, "..."
Chu Liuxiang didn't want to continue arguing with Jin Banhua, but asked Qiu Lingsu, "It seems that Madam is still ready to tell the secret in her heart."
Qiu Lingsu smiled calmly, "If I don't tell him, wouldn't I let Nangong Ling go unpunished?"
Chu Liuxiang nodded and asked in a deep voice, "May I ask, Madam, if the letters received by Jamuhe, Zuo Youzheng, Ling Jiuzi, and Ximen Qian were written by Madam?"
As soon as the words came out, Liao Gang and Ye Jin looked at Chu Liuxiang with strange eyes.
Isn't this the first question that Jin Banhua asked yesterday when she started asking Qiu Lingsu?
Qiu Lingsu glanced at Jin Banhua, and then told yesterday's news again.
Because Chu Liuxiang knew more and was also from Jianghu, Qiu Lingsu added some details after his inquiry.
For example, Nangong Ling was very respectful to outsiders, her method of testing whether ginseng soup was poisonous, Ren Ci's behavior when she died, etc.
When it came to Ren Ci's death, Chu Liuxiang immediately concluded that he died from Tianyi Shenshui.
"There is another murderer. This person is not Nangong Ling, but he stole Tianyi Shenshui from Shenshui Palace and killed a Shenshui Palace disciple. His cunning and viciousness are even higher than Nangong Ling's." Chu Liuxiang said.
"Yes." Qiu Lingsu nodded, "He may be Nangong Ling's brother."
"What? Nangong Ling's brother?" Chu Liuxiang was surprised, "Isn't Nangong Ling the adopted son of the old gang leader Ren? He was an orphan, where did he get his brother?"
So Qiu Lingsu told the story of Tianfeng Shiro.
Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but murmur to himself, "It makes sense. Since Tianfeng Fourteenth Lang also made an appointment with a great master in the martial arts of Fujian and Zhejiang before his appointment with Ren Lao Gang Leader, it is indeed possible that he will also be entrusted with him.
In this way, it makes sense that Nangong Ling knows about Tianfeng Shirou, and that this man also knows Japanese Ninjutsu and Yingfeng Slash. "
"But...who is that person?" Chu Liuxiang asked.
Qiu Lingsu shook his head, "Ren Ci has never mentioned this matter, and I don't know about it either."
Chu Liuxiang was silent, frowning and thinking.
"What are you thinking about?" Jin Banhua asked.
"I'm thinking about the other master who fought against Tianfeng Shiro and the suspected murderer of Brother Nangong Ling. Who is it?" Chu Liuxiang said thoughtfully.
"Why are you thinking about this problem?" Jin Banhua asked.
"Don't we need to think about this problem?" Chu Liuxiang asked.
"Why don't you ask Nangong Ling?" Jin Banhua asked.
Chu Liuxiang, "..."
"Aren't you and Nangong Ling best friends?" Jin Banhua asked, "I think he would be happy to tell you such a little secret, right?"
Chu Liuxiang gritted her teeth a little, but she had to admit that what Jin Banhua said made sense.
Qiu Lingsu shook her head and laughed, and then said to Chu Liuxiang, "I have told you all the secrets I know. You...you can leave now."
Chu Liuxiang took a deep breath, then looked directly at Qiu Lingsu, "I still want to ask Madam for something."
Qiu Lingsu asked, "Is there anything else?"
Chu Liuxiang said sincerely, "I wonder if Madam can lift the veil so that I can see Madam's splendor?"
Qiu Lingsu's body stiffened, then softened, "Do you really want to look at me?"
Chu Liuxiang said, "I have had this wish for a long time."
"I have been veiled for nearly twenty years, so why should you insist on it?" Qiu Lingsu said.
"The more invisible something is, the more people want to take a look." Chu Liuxiang said with a smile, "Madam turned all living beings upside down twenty years ago. If I miss it today, wouldn't I regret it for the rest of my life?"
Qiu Lingsu said, "Chu Xiangshuai is sincere."
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "I always tell the truth."
Then he saw Qiu Lingsu gently raise her jade hand and lift off the black veil.
What appeared in front of Chu Liuxiang's eyes was a peerless face with eyebrows as light as indigo, a pair of soft stars with deep affection, a nose as beautiful as jade from heaven, and jade-covered lips dotted with red plums.
Chu Liuxiang looked at Qiu Lingsu's fair and rosy face, which was flawless and still looked like a twenty-year-old jade face. She couldn't help but sigh, "Qiu Shui is the soul of the jade, and the bare hands are used to lightly adjust the beauty. When I see it today, I can't help but sigh." Not bad!”
Qiu Lingsu smiled slightly, glanced at Jin Banhua gratefully, and said to Chu Liuxiang, "But it's slightly different from the scroll?"
Chu Liuxiang said, "No, I have already forgotten the lady's face when I saw the scroll. When I saw it today, I realized that Sun Xuepu was not good at studying and did not paint the lady's look exactly."
Qiu Lingsu smiled again, showed his appearance to someone for a moment, then put down the black veil, and said leisurely, "Sun Xuepu's painting skills are not bad, but there are people who are better than him."
Chu Liuxiang was puzzled, "What does Madam mean by this?"
"It's nothing." Qiu Lingsu said calmly, "It's time for you to go down the mountain, I'm going to retreat too."
