Chapter 579: Tianzong Framed Xiao Shiyilang?

The night in the Gobi Desert is still very cool. The moon is high in the sky, but the wind carries fine sand. Just by smelling the air, you can feel the difference between the northwest and the south of the Yangtze River.

The panting in the inn calmed down. Shen Bijun rested her head on Lian Chengbi's chest and said faintly, "Am I a little stupid?"

"You are not stupid, you are... kind." Lian Chengbi felt the softness in his hand and swallowed the word "stupid and cute".

"But compared with Si Niang, I feel stupid." Shen Bijun said.

Lian Chengbi couldn't help but laugh, "How much experience do you have in the martial arts world, how much experience does she have in the martial arts world, how old are you, how old is she?"

Shen Bijun laughed out loud, "You are making fun of Si Niang's age again, in fact, she is only...only thirty...two years old."

Lian Chengbi nodded, "She is a perfect match for Yang Kaitai, I remember Yang Kaitai is also thirty-two years old."

Although they are called the Six Gentlemen of the Wulin, they are actually very different in age. The oldest Li Gang is nearly forty years old, but the youngest Zhu Baishui is two years younger than Lian Chengbi and is less than twenty this year.

Shen Bijun laughed again when she heard this, and then gossiped, "I found that Si Niang also has some feelings for Yang Kaitai."

Lian Chengbi's hand was sliding, "Really?"

"Yes!" Shen Bijun nodded repeatedly, "When we were walking in the courtyard at night, Si Niang talked to me about Yang Kaitai."

Lian Chengbi was not surprised by this. In the original work, Feng Si Niang got on Yang Kaitai's sedan chair, and there were one and two times. The second time, she even escaped from the bridal chamber with Yang Kaitai. Most people can't do this.

But Yang Kaitai was still a little short, just a little short.

Lian Chengbi grabbed the slippery and bouncy thing, wondering if Yang Kaitai could make up for it this time, after all, he had revealed a lot of things in advance this time!

Shen Bijun's face turned red when she was caught, and her heart itched, so she immediately changed the subject, "Do you think Yang Kaitai has a chance?"

"Whether he has a chance depends not only on himself, but also on his opponent."

"Xiao Shiyilang?"

"When we return to Central Plains this time, we may have a chance to see this lone thief who is highly skilled in martial arts, and who is said to have a principled bottom line but disdains vulgarity, so he is full of black pots."

Shen Bijun was amused by Lian Chengbi, and then her laughter trembled more and more under his teasing.

"I think your martial arts still have room for improvement."

"Woo~~~"

...

They stayed in Suzhou for another three days.

Situ Zhongping took on a few more orders here, and the joint escort agency was divided into several teams, each escorting the goods back to Central Plains.

Several monks had come out of retreat a few days ago. It was said that they were going to Dunhuang, Hami, or even Turpan and Yili to retrace the journey of Master Xuanzang to seek Buddhist scriptures.

Yang Kaitai took some time to deal with the business issues of Hengyuan Bank in the northwest these days, and then accompanied Feng Siniang and Lian Chengbi and his wife to visit some ancient ruins and battlefields around.

As expected, although they met several local martial arts masters in the northwest, they did not meet any famous people from other places.

"It was a mistake." Lian Chengbi sighed, "I shouldn't have exposed Tu Xiaotian so quickly. If I had waited a few more days, I might have been able to catch a few more people."

Lian Chengbi nodded, "In this case, the rest of the things can only be left until we return to the Central Plains."

Speaking of returning to the Central Plains, Feng Siniang didn't want to wait any longer.

"Then let's go back to the Central Plains!" Feng Siniang said.

"I have sent back a message to let the branches of the banks in various places inquire about Xiao Shiyilang's news. When we return to Chang'an, there should be news." Yang Kaitai said immediately.

Feng Siniang looked at Yang Kaitai with a complicated expression, "Thank you!"

"No thanks, no thanks, we are...are..."

"What?"

"Friends...friends...friends..."

So, on the way back to the Central Plains, Yang Kaitai and Feng Siniang were already friends.

The return journey was much faster. Without the burden of the escort team, they did not take a car. Four people and four horses rushed back to Lanzhou in three days and returned to Chang'an in seven days.

...

"Comfortable..."

In the bathtub, Feng Siniang stroked her still smooth skin and admired her slender and beautiful jade feet. She felt happy and satisfied.

There was another bathtub next to Feng Siniang, and Shen Bijun was washing her body.

The northwest wind and sand were strong. They were in a hurry to travel these days, so she just washed herself simply. Now that she was back in Chang'an, she finally didn't have to be so anxious. She also prepared to take a good bath and then go to find Lian Chengbi with a fragrant smell.

It was already night when they returned to Chang'an, so they didn't go to Hengyuan Bank right away, but found an inn and planned to talk about it tomorrow.

"You will go back to Jiangnan tomorrow, right?" Feng Siniang asked.

"Don't worry, let's go to Hengyuan Bank together tomorrow to see where Xiao Shiyilang is." Shen Bijun said.

Feng Siniang pouted, "Why is Lian Chengbi so interested in Xiao Shiyilang? Does he suspect that Xiao Shiyilang is also from Tianzong?"

Feng Siniang could see that Shen Bijun herself was not very curious, and now her heart was on Lian Chengbi. Since she mentioned Xiao Shiyilang, it was not because she was curious, but because Lian Chengbi was interested in it.

"That's not the case. My husband said that if Xiao Shiyilang was from Tianzong, he wouldn't let so many black pots be put on him." Shen Bijun smiled, "On the contrary, my husband suspected that many of the black pots put on Xiao Shiyilang were actually done by Tianzong."

"What?" Feng Siniang was surprised, "Why is he so suspicious?"

"Because Mr. Li from Daming Mansion and the swordsman Wan from Qingping are not so easy to kill, and the escort of the 500,000 taels of disaster relief silver is the Three Swords of Laoshan. Even if the top masters in the martial arts world go there, it will be... just a meal."

Shen Bijun held the bathtub and said thoughtfully, "So everyone believes that the blame is put on Xiao Shiyilang, because Xiao Shiyilang can really do it."

"But if these are not done by Xiao Shiyilang, it means that the people or forces who committed these cases are very powerful." Feng Siniang's eyes are bright, "and there are not many people or forces with such ability in the martial arts world!"

So Lian Chengbi's suspicion of Tianzong is really reasonable.

There is another point that Lian Chengbi knows but does not say, that is, in the original work, the young master killed Sikong Shu and then blamed Xiao Shiyilang for killing and taking the knife. It can be said that he is familiar with it, familiar with it, and extremely smooth.

At that time, they had never had any intersection with Xiao Shiyilang.

After the battle in Suzhou, Feng Siniang would never doubt Lian Chengbi's wisdom and judgment again. Since he had such doubts, he was already 80% sure.

"Didn't Lian Chengbi tell you that there were other people who might be from Tianzong?" Feng Siniang asked.

She had never been as anxious as she was now, eager to find Tianzong and clear Xiao Shiyilang's name.

"No." Shen Bijun shook her head.
