Ling'er did not go directly to Jingxi Branch, but turned into Qingfeng Inn.
Early in the morning, the "Winds" were not here. According to Ling'er's experience, there was no one here early in the morning because there was no news about Qingfengxia from the government, otherwise Sister Lan and the others would have gathered here impatiently.
When Ling'er arrived at the West Beijing branch, Qi Dian had just finished doing business and walked out of the meeting hall.
"Miss Ling'er, why are you here?" Qi Dian asked with a smile, "Are you here to see Dr. Xu? He has been to the main altar in the past two days."
"No. "I'm here to see you, Brother Qi Dian," Ling'er said.
"Oh, come in and talk." Qi Dian led Ling'er back to the meeting hall.
"Brother Qi Dian, do you know what happened last night?" Ling'er asked tentatively.
Qi Dian glanced at the white bandage on Ling'er's neck that was not completely covered by the collar, and said, "Well, I know something. It's good that the girl is fine."
Ling'er He said sadly, "Qingfengxia was hit by an arrow to save me."
"Where was he injured?" Qi Dian asked anxiously.
Brother Qi Dian actually knew nothing about this matter. Ling'er looked at Qi Dian in surprise and replied, "The arrow passed through his left shoulder. Fortunately, it did not hurt any muscles or bones."
p>Qi Dian nodded and explained, "I only know that he acted recklessly. He went to rescue people single-handedly even though he knew that the Black Lotus Sect had laid many ambush, but I didn't know that he was injured. I haven't seen him today. ."
"That means no one is taking care of him now" Ling'er asked.
"It shouldn't be serious. If it is serious, I will know." Qi Dian originally wanted to comfort Ling'er, but he didn't expect that it made Ling'er even more worried.
Ling'er asked again, "On weekdays, he takes care of himself when he is injured."
"Yes." Qi Dian nodded and sighed secretly.
"So, Brother Qi Dian doesn't know about that cave, right?" Ling'er asked.
"What kind of cave?" Qi Dian was puzzled.
"It's nothing." Ling'er felt even more sorry for Qi Yang, as his brother was too derelict in his duty.
Qi Dian also knows that he is not a good brother, but he is busy with official duties and really has no time to take care of Qi Yang.
"By the way, Brother Qi Dian, I came here to know if Qingfengxia always wears a disguise," Ling'er asked.
"Occasionally," Qi Dian said. "If he feels unsure, he will disguise himself to hide his identity if he is worried about being captured by mistake."
"Worried about being captured by mistake and exposing his identity." Ling'er was shocked.
"Yes, in case his identity is exposed" Qi Dian did not say any more.
Ling'er thought, "If Qi Yang's identity is exposed, then so many people in the entire Qi family may be implicated."
"Why does the girl ask these things?" Qi Dian asked.
"It's nothing, I'm just curious." Ling'er said.
Qi Dian thought to himself, "He must not be sure when he goes to Ningji Temple alone to save people. It is too reckless."
Ling'er thought to himself, "In this case,He disguised himself to prevent his identity from being exposed, not because he was unwilling to let me know his true identity. "Ling'er was no longer sad because of this. However, Ling'er thought that even if he was not sure that he could escape unscathed, he would still risk his life to save himself, and his heart was filled with emotion.
While the two were deep in thought, Qi Yang opened the door of the conference hall and walked in.
Ling'er instinctively turned her head when she heard the movement and was shocked. She didn't expect it to happen at this time. Seeing Qi Yang here
Qi Yang was also surprised to see Ling'er here. His wound was so painful that he was not distracted to hear the movement in the meeting hall, thinking that no one was talking and only Qi Dian was there. . He didn't know that he would meet Ling'er when he went out today, so he didn't change his pale face even a little bit. He turned away after greeting Ling'er, fearing that Ling'er would become suspicious.
Look at Qi Yang's face. Pale and exhausted, Ling'er felt sorry for him and saw that he was trying to keep himself up and deliberately avoided his sight. Ling'er finally couldn't bear to see him trying so hard to cover up, so he took a deep look and said goodbye. After Qi Yang glanced at him, Ling'er reluctantly walked out of the meeting hall.
After confirming that Ling'er was gone, Qi Yang found a seat nearby and sat down slowly.
p>"How is your injury?" Qi Dian walked to Qi Yang and asked with concern
"It's nothing, just a scratch. "Qi Yang raised his eyes to look at Qi Dian, endured the pain and chuckled, "Don't be so nervous."
"It's really just a scratch," Qi Dian asked.
Qi Yang felt a little guilty. He nodded and quickly changed the subject and said, "I have something important."
"No matter how important it is, you don't need to come in person. Just let someone convey it and I will come over." "Qi Dian said in a deep voice.
"Oh, I understand. "Seeing Qi Dian's displeasure, Qi Yang nodded in response.
"What's the matter?" Qi Dian asked.
"I'm afraid Miss Gan has been targeted by the Black Lotus Sect. You have so many factions. Some experts secretly protect her. "Qi Yang said seriously.
"Well, I have already arranged the manpower. "Qi Dian said.
"That's good, I'll go back first. "Qi Yang said, slowly standing up.
"Ayang, don't go back, stay in the sub-tank for a few days," Qi Dian said.
"Why? "Qi Yang asked.
"At least there is someone taking care of you in the branch. "Qi Dian said.
Qi Yang raised his lips disapprovingly, turned around and left.
Qi Dian grabbed Qi Yang's arm to stop him.
Qi Yang felt a sharp pain, his vision went dark, and his body fell backwards
Qi Dian then noticed that he was pulling Qi Yang's left arm, and he was busy. He supported Qi Yang and called anxiously, "Ayang, are you okay?"
Qi Yang didn't respond to him, and actually fainted from the pain.
Ling'er left the West Beijing branch. Finally, without direction, he walked outside Qi's house without knowing it.
Suddenly, Ling'er thought of a question. Brother Qi Dian just said that he had not seen Qi Yang today, so what?This means that Qi Yang was not in the separate altar before. If he was not in the sub-altar, where could he be sure that he had returned to Qizhai before, and then went somewhere, perhaps in the woods, somewhere near Qizhai.
Thinking of this, Ling'er pushed open the door of Qizhai and wanted to go through Qizhai to check in the woods.
When she was opening the back door of Qizhai, Ling'er suddenly smelled a trace of blood. She immediately stopped and searched on the ground. The light here was dim, and she could only rely on the light from the door to see clearly what was in front of the door. There was only some sand on the small patch of ground, and no blood stains.
Linger was reluctant to let go of any clues and hurriedly went to the kitchen to get a candle.
Hold the candle, Ling'er still didn't find any blood on the ground.
Suddenly, Linger thought of something. She hurriedly closed the back door and illuminated it with candlelight, and sure enough she saw blood stains on the door latch. The blood stain was bright red and had only been there for a short time. Ling'er guessed that Qi Yang left it when he closed the door.
Then, Ling'er tried to search on the wall next to the door, and sure enough, she found several blood stains. Looking at these blood stains, Ling'er seemed to see Qingfeng Xia holding on to the wall and walking forward step by step with difficulty. "But where is he going? There is no way ahead at all." Ling'er thought in confusion.
Ling'er suddenly realized that there was a secret door ahead. She walked over quickly and pushed hard on the last blood stain on the wall, and a secret door was opened.
