The inner room of the study room was very big, but five or six huge bookshelfs were placed there and it became smaller. The old man had the habit of collecting it. On the other side of the east wing, he specially built a library of books, which contained at least tens of thousands of books. It was the efforts of several generations. The most valuable of them were the bamboo slips from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Qianxue was curious when she was a child, but she couldn't understand the words on it. It was said to be a military book.

"You don't have to worry about that child anymore. He should be really worried about his return to Beijing." The old man walked to the desk and opened the wooden box on it. During this period, Jiuzhang never left his hand. It can be seen that he liked this birthday gift very much.

"How did Dad know? If something happened, how could he not tell me?" She was confused and could not calm down.

"Look at this." The old man handed her an envelope, which was left by Xiao Qiao when she left. One was a farewell letter, and the other contained something, saying it was a birthday gift, so she gave it to the old man directly.

The woman didn't understand why the old man showed him this. She opened the brown-yellow envelope, took out the ring jade pendant inside, and carved a tiger's head in the middle, which was vivid and exquisite. Even she rarely saw such exquisite jade artifacts.

"What's wrong with this jade pendant? Is there anything strange?" She looked over and over again, but couldn't see anything unusual.

"You don't know, it's normal. Twenty years ago, when I was the Minister of Revenue in the court, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom came to celebrate the birthday of the emperor. I was responsible for arranging the relevant matters. The envoy put a jade pendant on his waist, and a cow head was carved on it. Because it was rare, I asked more, what symbolic meaning does this jade pendant have." The old man seemed to be trapped in memory. Although it took twenty years, he seemed to have a clear memory of this matter.

"The Liao envoy told me that the Khitans advocate nature and believed that the twelve zodiac signs had a meaning of amulets. A few years ago, the king obtained a jade plate as big as a washbasin, which was crystal clear and transparent, and had a very good color. Some people thought that it was not even inferior to the Heshi Bi in the Warring States Period, so they ordered a skilled craftsman to carve twelve jade pendants, keeping them with dragon-shaped jade pendants, and the rest was rewarded to the prince on the birthday day. The jade pendants on the messenger were given to him by the prince to ensure his safety, and they had to return them after returning to the country."

The woman looked at the tiger-headed jade pendant in her hand with disbelief. How could this jade pendant be the one from a prince of the Liao Kingdom? How could she believe that the Liao Kingdom is thousands of miles away, and who could sneak in? It was to guard the prince's mansion and steal a jade pendant that she was wearing close to her body.

"This jade pendant is real. I have experienced it. You can't believe it. Last time you said that the girl was injured when she was in the mansion. If she was an ordinary person, how could it hurt or affect her actions?" Although he was old, his wisdom was getting deeper and deeper. He knew a lot of things, which also made his vision and thought much higher than that of ordinary people.

"But..." The woman spoke somehow. All signs showed that Xiao Qiao's identity was extraordinary. What about Lin Ye? He and Xiao Qiao were recognized brothers and sisters, so he must know all of them. Did he also participate?

"I tell you that you are afraid that you will think too much. Some things you don't know, and I don't know, so I can't tell you more. If you have the chance, you should ask the child yourself! He should have something urgent to go back to the capital, and everything he does is good, so you don't have to worry about it." The old man said comforting words, but in fact he was surprised by his own speculation.

Infiltrating into the Liao Kingdom and stealing the prince's jade pendant, only that organization could do it in the Song Dynasty. In previous years, he also asked Ye'er to get fame and fortune. The child was so smart that he should have a place in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, but he didn't listen. The old man realized at this moment that when the Killing Star was first established, Taizu set the rules that the Killing Star Sect members would not be allowed to be an official in their lifetime.

He asked Han Sicheng several times about Lin Ye, and the young man unconsciously expressed respect to Lin Ye in his words. In this way, Ye'er's status in the killing star is not low. Based on these alone, the old man can infer so much that he is really smarter as he grows older. But he did not tell his daughter that Lin Ye is responsible, and when it comes time to say it, he will naturally say it to her.

Ouyang left with doubts. When he left, he was holding a tiger-headed jade pendant in his hand, which was a little disgraceful. His child had been with him for more than ten years, but she never found out that he had any other identity. Should Lin Ye hide it well? Or was he careless as a mother?

However, the more she recalled, the more unreasonable the things that were before became more and more reasonable.

Longmen Inn

In a chaotic world, it is very common to rob money and kill people. After all, as long as you live a more comfortable life, who will care about other people's lives? As long as you have the first time, there will be no such obstacles in your heart when you kill. The inn owner has seen so many people. He retired from the killing door to retire. Lin Ye paid for him to build this inn for convenience.

Li Jian was so old that he had to participate in Li Chushan's assassination, and he wanted to get an opportunity to retire. Lin Ye arranged him to Jiangnan, but he didn't know how An Yihe handled it. In fact, the wealthy Jiangnan may not have such a remote forest inn. He has done good things and bad things all his life, and he has been plagued by evil thoughts. He rarely has a good end. Some people choose to die in the task and are unwilling to retire. Once people are idle, their past memories will continue to come to their minds. Those who died under their own swords turn into nightmares every night, making it difficult for them to fall asleep.

"Just split here! The news from Liangshan is more important. You go back to Hanjiang City first. I will chase you after I go to the tribute." The two of them rode a horse, and the horses were paced back and forth at the forks of the road, shaking the people on the horse's back.

"Then senior sister, be careful, drive!" Fang Shuhao's legs were gently clamped with the horse's belly, and the horse's hooves trotted on the dust, while Xiao Qiao slowly headed towards the place where his parents buried their bones.

Liangshan raised the flag and had already captured Daming Mansion and rescued Lu Junyi. It is said that Chao Gai was killed by poisonous arrows on the way to attack Zengtou City. At this time, everyone in Liangshan was looking for Shi Wengong to take revenge. Because they had a common enemy, Liangshan seemed to be united now. However, Chao Gai was dead. Once the revenge was avenged, the position of the leader was empty. Whoever sat on it would be accurate? Besides, Chao Gai left a last word before his death: Whoever killed Shi Wengong would be the leader of Liangshan.

It can be seen that he was extremely resentful of his death. If Shi Wengong was killed in the end, that would not convince everyone, it would be another statement. Therefore, the pattern of Liangshan would have a huge change. Only Dongfang Shuo, who had been in Liangshan, knew the most likely trend after Liangshan. Only he knew the news that Shuhao had sent back to Hanjiang City was very important.

But in Xiao Qiao's eyes, all this was not deliberately paid attention to. It was just a group of clowns and a group of people who were seeking themselves in destruction. What is worth paying attention to? Whether it is Liangshan or Fang La, if it fails, it is death. If it succeeds, it is also death. How can a group of independent and separatist regimes not attract the concern of foreign enemies? In the Central Plains, don't have another tragedy of the Five Barbarians invading China.
