Chapter 541
'Knock, knock, knock' the door was knocked suddenly, startling both Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao.
After looking at each other, Xu Ziqiao winked at Lin Huiru and said loudly, "Come in."
It was Yufeng who pushed the door and walked in. He entered the door with his head down, and his courtesy was not bad at all, and he said respectfully , "Master Xu, Your Highness is here to invite you." "What's the matter?" Xu Ziqiao was a little puzzled. ââAfter all, Tang Junyi was
looking for him at this time, what could be the matter?
I see, Your Highness is in a hurry, please move and follow me as soon as possible."
Xu Ziqiao was about to leave when Lin Huiru grabbed her arm, and seeing the worried look in her eyes, Xu Ziqiao calmed down and said softly , "It's okay, I'll be back soon."
"I want to go together." Lin Huiru looked at Yufeng with coldness in his eyes.
"This...Madam, please don't make things difficult for your subordinates. Your Highness has important matters to discuss with Master Xu, so please wait here for a while." Yufeng replied respectfully.
Lin Huiru narrowed her eyes. Before, Tang Junyi would never avoid her, but this time...she had a bad feeling.
"Don't worry." Xu Ziqiao rubbed her head, got up and went out with Yufeng.
When entering Tang Junyi's room, Xu Ziqiao smelled a strong scent of sandalwood. Only Tang Junyi can use such a grade of spices. He brought it with him when he came to this kind of place
. I don't know what your Highness is looking for me on purpose?" Xu Ziqiao entered the door with a neither humble nor overbearing attitude, and in terms of status, he didn't need to bow his head to Tang Junyi.
Tang Junyi turned around and got a tortoiseshell cat with mandarin duck eyes from somewhere in his hand. He looked at Xu Ziqiao and smiled inexplicably. , why not just sit down and talk. Yufeng, serve tea."
"No need, I'm not familiar with the place, so I can't help but be afraid in the room. If you have anything to say, His Highness, just tell me." Xu Ziqiao's expression was indifferent, and he didn't intend to stay long.
Tang Junyi understood his attitude, and he also understood it very well, but since this person was invited, how could he let him go easily when he left, "This matter is not small, not to mention that everyone in the mansion I belong to this king, Lord Xu don't need to worry about encountering assassins, please sit down." As
soon as the words were finished, the door was closed, Yufeng brought a cup of tea and put it on the table, and saluted Just backed off.
The current situation can't allow Xu Ziqiao and Tang Junyi to confront each other head-on, and he still has some strengths on his body, so he can only sit down and sneer, "Now that the order is down, I'm more worried." "What do you mean, Mr. Xu?
" Tang Junyi squinted his eyes, and sat down with the cat in his arms, his face full of displeasure.
Xu Ziqiao chuckled, "What I mean is, Your Highness has moved someone else's cooked duck here, and your highness is distinguished, so I'm afraid you will meet more assassins." His words were tactful, but not
without For the truth, Tang Junyi could only sneer, "Master Xu, don't worry, the king brought all the elites. You don't have to worry about Mr. Xu. He will definitely be able to sleep well under the protection of the king. Your Excellency is here because he also wants to cooperate with Master Xu."
"Cooperation? Your Highness, stop joking, we have nothing to cooperate with, and I have found nothing this time." Xu Ziqiao stared at the cat. At this time, look at the cat. It's better than watching people come.
Tang Junyi frowned, there were quite a few people who joked with him today, "I'm not joking, who said you must say something, Mr. Xu, my people have already responded to this The matter has a clue, but what this king is thinking about is actually something else." "
Your Highness, there is a saying that if we disagree, we should not conspire with each other. You and I have different points of view. The current matter can't provide anything. I don't want to get involved in your highness's good deeds, so please give up, if your majesty wants to investigate why I am not in the north, I am willing to be punished." Xu Ziqiao raised his eyebrows and looked over.
"This king is not a fool. Mr. Xu, you dare not blatantly disobey the emperor's order. There must be some reason for this. The prince is very sorry. If Mr. Xu insists on leaving, then this king will use tea instead of wine. Stay here, Mr. Xu, and you have a safe journey." Tang Junyi picked up a cup of tea from the table, made a slight gesture of respect, and drank some tea.
Although Xu Ziqiao was a little confused about why Tang Junyi would let them go so easily, but thinking that if Tang Junyi guessed that he was ordered by His Majesty to let him leave, it could only be done out of safety. He didn't think much, and took a sip of tea, but just as he was about to get up, he felt dark before his eyes and lost consciousness.
...
"Mr. Xu...Mr. Xu... I really like you..."
In the secret bedroom, facing Wan Jiaojiao who was flushed and tearing her clothes, Xu Ziqiao didn't realize it. The Mongolian sweat medicine had just started to take effect, but it gave Wan Jiaojiao a chance to prescribe
it. Tang Junyi felt that Wan Jiaojiao might not have the courage, so he gave Wan Jiaojiao a cup of tea with ingredients, and then sat outside and listened. Good show.
"Let's go, let's give Mrs. Lin a big gift." Tang Junyi suddenly stood up with the cat in his arms, and was not in the mood to listen anymore, so he took Yufeng all the way to Lin Huiru's room.
Looking at this inexplicable man, Lin Huiru only had endless fear in her heart, and she had long since lost the previous suspicious mentality, "What is your Highness doing?
" , Xu Ziqiao fainted, do you want to go over with me to have a look?" Tang Junyi showed no expression on his face, but his eyes were full of emotions, the woman in front of him, even if she was angry with him, was charming. He really wanted to see Lin Huiru's expression when he saw Xu Ziqiao and Wan Jiaojiao together as soon as possible.
Lin Huiru's heart suddenly rose, and she really wanted to ask Tang Junyi what he was going to do, but she could only swallow the words in her stomach, and could only ask with wide eyes, "What about others?"
"Ma'am, don't worry, just follow me." Tang Junyi turned around and was responsible for leading the way.
Lin Huiru, who was following Tang Junyi, was getting more and more anxious, and no matter why Xu Ziqiao fainted, since Tang Junyi came to tell her about it in person, it must not be easy.
Tang Junyi was advancing a room, and Lin Huiru's eyes lit up and she quickened her pace. She quickly followed, bypassed Tang Junyi who was standing at the door, and rushed in.
But as soon as he entered, the sound of a woman moaning entered his mind.
Chapter 542 Great Transformation
Lin Huiru's mind buzzed, and she stopped following her steps, thinking that Tang Junyi had planned this incident, and that voice was Wan Jiaojiao, who was full of admiration for Xu Ziqiao... "Why didn't Madam go in?
" Tang Junyi was standing at the door, with a smile on his face, but when he saw Lin Huiru turned his head, his smile froze suddenly.
"You did it, didn't you?" Lin Huiru's eyes were already red, and there were still tears in his eyes. If everything just now was Tang Junyi's trick, then since the woman is Wan Jiaojiao, then the man It should be...Xu Ziqiao.
I don't know why, seeing her heart-piercing expression, Tang Junyi's heart also tugged.
He didn't speak, but Lin Huiru turned his head dully and walked slowly behind the screen. The next moment, her hand was suddenly held.
For some unknown reason, Tang Junyi uncontrollably rushed forward and grabbed her wrist. Just her expression now made his heart ache. At that moment...she will hate him to death, This is not what he wants.
"Let go." Lin Huiru's voice was extremely cold, and Tang Junyi didn't let go, so she shook it off with all her strength.
She had an unrealistic wish in her heart, no matter what the cost, she hoped that the person on the bed was not Xu Ziqiao.
The woman's groans were endless, she gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand tremblingly, finally making up her mind to pull back the bed curtain but suddenly froze...
'Wow! Lin Huiru pulled up the curtain again abruptly.
She turned her head and walked quickly to Tang Junyi, regardless of her status, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Tang Junyi's collar, looking at him with red eyes, "Where's Xu Ziqiao?!" Hearing Lin Huiru's words
, Tang Junyi also had a bad feeling in his heart, and after reaching out his hand to block Yufeng who wanted to come up and pull Lin Huiru away, he quickly stepped forward and pulled back the bed curtain.
"Your Highness...Your Highness! This subordinate is here when he wakes up!" A strange man's exclamation suddenly came from the bed curtain. It was originally heaven a second ago, but the moment he saw Tang Junyi, it had already become hell.
Yu Feng also walked over in disbelief, seeing the guard on the bed, he couldn't hide the shock in his heart. He knelt down in front of Tang Junyi, clasped his fists, "Your Highness, the person has obviously been sent here!" "
Enough!" Tang Junyi roared angrily, the blazing flames seemed to be burning in his eyes, "Master Xu is gone, don't be too quick Go find it!"
After leaving the room, Lin Huiru laughed for the first time, looking a little creepy in the silence of the night. She turned around, and the pain on her face just now had disappeared, and only hatred and sarcasm remained, "Your Highness, have you done enough to steal chickens and eat rice? It's ridiculous. Do you want to take me to see your masterpiece?"
Faced with the woman's provocations, Tang Junyi was reluctant to do it, so he could only roll his throat and let Lin Huiru be taken away.
At this moment, he was still more puzzled. He clearly saw Xu Ziqiao pass out after drinking tea with his own eyes, and he also tried that he was not pretending to be faint, but why...why did he run away?
"Your Highness, that person has been recruited. He said that his eyes went dark and he was on the bed when he woke up. The guards didn't see anyone coming in and out of Wan's house." Yufeng came back and reported, as if Xu Ziqiao had suddenly It's like the world has evaporated.
"Go, even if Wanjia is demolished for me, I have to find his trace!" Tang Junyi ordered in a deep voice, the fists beside him were already clenched and the veins were bulging.
...
When Xu Ziqiao woke up, he felt dizzy in his head, as if he had been busy for several days without rest. The scene before he passed out flashed in his mind, which made him wake up and struggled to sit up, but almost fell off the bed.
"Hey, hey, the effect of the medicine hasn't passed yet." Qingwu stretched out his hand to hold him, his tone full of teasing. Unexpectedly, he came after Tang Junyi, and he could still see that blood-spitting scene. It was really a worthwhile trip.
If it wasn't for Qing Wu's support, Xu Ziqiao's head would probably explode. He kneaded the center of his brows to calm himself down, full of doubts, "Why are you here? What happened?" "I'm not worried about you
, Tang Junyi is here, I'm afraid you can't handle it with your bare hands, so I found a substitute to replace me and followed me, who knows how long it took, you fell into his tricks and drank the tea with the sweat medicine." Qingwu smashed He licked his mouth, and his face was full of emotion, "I don't think Tang Junyi wants to overwhelm you with medicine, but he wants to kill you with medicine. That amount is enough to bring down a circle of cattle, and you can't even drink it. You drink it What grew up?"
Xu Ziqiao felt a burning sensation in his stomach after hearing this, "The tea leaves are too thick and there is no peculiar smell, so I didn't drink it out." "
Your heart is really big enough, and then, he took you and the beggar. The drugged Miss Wanjia was locked together. I was afraid that the goddess would be overwhelmed when she found out, so I rescued you in time and put a servant in. Thank you very much, otherwise if you have a relationship with that woman , tsk tsk..." Qingwu smacked his mouth twice, his face full of gossip.
After hearing this, Xu Ziqiao couldn't sit still. He lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, "Where's Xiaoru? I'm going back to find her.
" Madam, I will find a way to bring it out for you, and now Bai Qianyi is still inside, Tang Junyi should not dare to touch her, I will send someone to watch her, don't worry." Qingwu pressed Xu Ziqiao's shoulder, almost useless It took a lot of force to push him back. ââAlthough Xu Ziqiao is impulsive now, she still has reason, "Tang Junyi has coveted her
for a long time, I don't worry."
Don't you worry?" Qing Wu stood up, went leisurely to the table, took a handful of peanuts and peeled them again, "Now Liu Chong and Wan Hengtong are trying to deal with Tang Junyi, they are fighting with snipe and clam, we fish People benefit, and I have already sent someone to find out where the lost things are."
Although Qing Wu looked very clueless on the surface, he was unexpectedly reliable in handling things, including this time. A lot of information was also provided by Qing Wu.
Most of Xu Ziqiao's heart was relieved, but his brows were still frowned, "What are your plans?" "
My people have already followed you to sneak here. I am different from you and do things by hook or by crook, so I have checked the approximate list. It's here, other things are out of my consideration, and I've already found the goods." Qingwu raised his eyebrows with a proud expression on his face.
Chapter 543
"So, you just stay at ease, and when you find a free time to bring the goddess out, we'll go back to the capital with our things, and let Tang Junyi clean up the rest of the mess." His move was considered very sinister.
But Xu Ziqiao was very puzzled, and even smiled self-deprecatingly, "This is Jiang Country's territory, and I'm not as well-informed as you.
" There is no need to hide it from you. I do have some forces here, but they are hidden from people's eyes and ears. It's not very good. But the victory lies in the high strength of martial arts, and violence can solve everything. If you have any questions, just beat them into tricks. But you are not such a person, so of course you can't do it." Qingwu smiled, just from his playful appearance, no one could see the cruelty behind his back.
Although these words were said lightly and meant to be very self-effacing, Xu Ziqiao understood in his heart that although he might not be comparable to him or Tang Junyi in terms of power, in terms of means, this person was far superior to Tang Junyi by a lot. For such a person, it may not be a problem to win the position of Crown Prince of Anguo. Although we are cooperating with them now, we still need to be careful... ... Xu Ziqiao's absence makes
Lin
Huiru's house arrest even more obvious. Meals and water were delivered, and when she proposed to go out for a walk, she would be persuaded to go back with various reasons.
Looking at the dazzling array of food on the table, Lin Huiru has no appetite at eleven o'clock now. In order to please her, Tang Junyi almost sent all the things he could buy by weighing them. , I don't think it's a waste, and I even had the idea of ââinviting an opera troupe to sing to make her happy.
But Lin Huiru's mind was full of Xu Ziqiao, and she was always worried about how Xu Ziqiao was doing now. If she really left smoothly, she would definitely try her best to pick her up.
"My lady doesn't eat like this. If I'm starved to death, I can't explain to Lord Xu." After hearing that Lin Huiru didn't eat, Tang Junyi rejected Liu Chong's invitation to meet and came to see him in person. she.
Lin Huiru couldn't help frowning, she really didn't want to see this despicable and shameless person, but she couldn't hide, so she could only choose to remain silent.
Seeing his indifferent attitude, Tang Junyi was not annoyed, and asked someone to bring the tortoiseshell cat from before, "Huahua, look, this lady is in a bad mood, why don't you coax the lady for this king?" Happy?"
When the cat came over, Lin Huiru's eyes lit up. The color of this cat is extremely rare. The long-haired tortoiseshell cat has a pair of blue-green mandarin duck eyes. One side of the face is pure black and the other is a color. Although it is messy, it also has a strange beauty.
She knelt down and wanted to hug, but the underage kitten barked threateningly out of fear.
Tang Junyi frowned, "You bastards that don't understand human nature, take them out and deal with them." "
Your Highness is really majestic, I'm afraid there are many people who are inhuman, why don't you kill your Highness too?" Lin Huiru With a sarcasm, he held the cat in his arms with a heart that was bitten, and glanced blankly.
Unexpectedly, the cat seemed to know who was kind to her, and it started snoring not long after it arrived in Lin Huiru's arms.
Tang Junyi endured it again with a good temper, and even stopped Yufeng. Lin Huiru would be satisfied if he could have something he liked from him. He didn't speak, turned around and walked out.
But Yufeng couldn't stand it any longer, "Your Highness, why are you doing this?
There are women who like you, Your Highness, all over the world, and they are from good backgrounds everywhere." There are many people, and there are people who can guess people's hearts better than you, so why do you think this king still keeps you?" Tang Junyi glanced at him blankly, and replied in his heart, isn't it because he wants to have a special liking?
Yufeng was choked up, so he could only choke out a sentence, "If you are sincere to Your Highness, I am willing to abdicate."
Tang Junyi ignored him, and just walked in front of him, "I ordered you to investigate the matter. how's it going?"
"Liu Chong is still trying to find a way to get around, but our people found a secret room. There seems to be something very important in the storeroom of the secret room, but it is heavily guarded, and we have not been able to enter it." Yufeng replied.
"Well, let's suppress him in the open. I don't have so much time to watch him sing. Where's Xu Ziqiao?" Tang Junyi held his hand. Since that day, the missing Xu Ziqiao has always been a hurdle in his heart. But he checked all the checkpoints that night, and there was no news of Xu Ziqiao running out. From this point of view, he should still be in Minzhou. It was unexpected for him to stay here instead of going out to ask for help.
"The borrowed troops have already been sent out. Within three days, as long as Xu Ziqiao is still in Minzhou, he will definitely be able to find them." When Yu Feng replied, he faintly felt that he was sure of winning.
Tang Junyi nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, since I don't want gifts from the king, I have to let him die. That one named Bai Qianyi, watch out, don't let him have the intention of getting close to Lin Huiru.
" Feng was puzzled, "Why didn't your Highness just ask
his subordinates to kill him? Isn't it a hidden danger to keep him now?" Even Lao San and Wan Qixuan want to keep this person, I haven't had time to investigate him, but he must be valuable, keep it." Tang Junyi took out a folding fan from his sleeve, and spread it out on his own Fanned up.
"Now Wan Hengtong has been arguing to see Wan Jiaojiao, and Wan Jiaojiao is a bit uncooperative, and even wants to seek death and life, you see..." Speaking of this, Yufeng has a headache, Wan Jiaojiao, there is no In the case of orders, neither killing nor not killing.
Tang Junyi was a little annoyed by being asked, "I have to ask the king everything, what's the point of keeping you? Wan Hengtong is a proof, and I still have a lot of good things in my hand. If you don't want to kill Wan Jiaojiao Why don't you just keep it and be your wife."
Originally, there were still many things waiting for Tang Junyi to deal with, but seeing his current mood, Yufeng didn't want to touch his nose anymore, so he could only swallow his doubts. After a salute, he turned around and went to work.
The most pitiful thing is Wan Jiaojiao. She obviously just wanted to find a way out for herself. Although she was a bit disdainful, in the end, by accident, she even got married with an unknown servant. It's enough for her to want to seek death and life. During the few days she was locked up, she shed tears almost every day, and the guards guarding the gate couldn't stand it anymore.
When Yufeng saw her, her eyes were already swollen like bells.
"Give you two choices, either be quiet, or marry that servant."
Chapter 544: Courageous
Wan Jiaojiao raised her head, stared blankly at Yufeng, her face was endlessly blank, "Is there a third option? Kill me."
This answer was a bit unexpected, Yufeng thought hard , Wan Jiaojiao had already come over and grabbed his clothes and begged bitterly, "I have ruined my family style, please, kill me." This is the first time since he killed so
many people that he asked He killed her, but Yufeng hesitated, "You are still young, I won't kill you, you go." "
If I go, where can I go, I'm sorry for my father, I'm sorry Mr. Xu and even more sorry for myself The only way to prove your will is through death..." Wan Jiaojiao stood up dumbly, and was about to knock towards the tables and chairs beside her when Yu Feng grabbed her by the collar and knocked her out with a palm.
...
Lin Huiru spent the next few days with the cat named Hua Hua. Tang Junyi couldn't get away from bothering her, so she just enjoyed herself and waited in the yard for Xu Ziqiao to pick her up.
One night, suddenly there was a skyrocketing fire outside, and someone kept shouting vaguely, "It's flooded! Come and put out the fire!" Panicked,
Lin Huiru originally wanted to change her position and continue sleeping, but the door was blocked by someone. Pushing it away, she looked at the door with trepidation, but was surprised to find that it was Bai Qianyi who came!
"Now! Get up and pack up, let's go!" Bai Qianyi said in a deep and anxious voice, and waited outside. looking at her.
Lin Huiru was overjoyed, put on her clothes, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, opened the door and went out.
If you don't go out, you don't know. Many places in the Wanjia are on fire. It seems that someone did it on purpose. Now all the guards are going to put out the fire, so naturally no one is watching them.
"How did you manage to order so many places?" Lin Huiru was puzzled, but still a little excited.
Bai Qianyi frowned tightly, turned around and hugged her, "It wasn't me, I don't know who let it go, hold me tight and don't talk."
Lin Huiru was taken aback, but subconsciously grabbed Bai Qianyi's clothes. She didn't have time to watch the night scenes passing by, and she was full of doubts about who set the fire.
Xu Ziqiao? It shouldn't be, it should be looking for her directly after setting off the fire. Wan Hengtong? His daughter has just been designed. If he wants to die together, it is possible, but it is not easy to ignite so many places in a short period of time without anyone noticing.
He doesn't know martial arts, so it shouldn't be possible.
That is... the person who was blocked by Tang Junyi from making money. Interesting, to think of the method of burning Tang Junyi to death, you have the guts.
When he landed, Bai Qianyi was still tense and watched behind him, "Hurry up, I might not be able to get out of the city, Tang Junyi will definitely come out tomorrow to find someone, let's find an inn to hide." Lin Huiru nodded, and reached into his sleeve by the
way Hua Hua was appeased. At this time, there were not many inns open for business, and after finally opening a room, the deep sleepiness came to my heart again.
Seeing that Lin Huiru was drowsy, Bai Qianyi left a gap in the window, went forward and locked the door, "Go to sleep, if there is any movement tomorrow, I will call you." "They should catch up with you tonight.
" If you don't come out, why don't you take a rest to recharge your batteries?" Lin Huiru yawned again while sitting on the bed.
Bai Qianyi moved the screen to block it in front of the bed, "No need, people who practice martial arts can't sleep that much. Tang Junyi is a cunning man, and he is prepared for any danger." Lin Huiru was no longer polite at this moment
. , nodded and fell asleep hugging the frightened Hua Hua.
...
"There's good news and bad news, which one are you going to hear first?" Qing Wu pushed open the door of Xu Ziqiao's room. down.
Xu Ziqiao was checking his wounds. After so many days, his injuries are almost healed. He frowned and looked at Qingwu, and said, "I don't care about these. When will you help me bring Xiaoru out?"
"Hey, don't worry, these two things have something to do with them." Qingwu opened a greased paper bag, and the smell of roast chicken filled the room immediately. He took a deep breath, broke off a chicken leg and put it in his mouth .
"Good news." Xu Ziqiao heaved a sigh of relief, sat down at the table and took a sip of tea.
Qingwu smiled, and handed over another chicken leg, "I'd better tell you the bad news first, the bad news is that the Wanjia was on fire, and even Tang Junyi was burnt to ashes, people are going to be pissed off.
" The news was really bad, and Xu Ziqiao's nerves exploded. He squinted his eyes and asked nervously, "Where's Xiaoru?!
" Qianyi is gone, they are so smart, they should have taken advantage of the chaos and ran away, but they don't know where they are going." Qingwu still took his time.
Xu Ziqiao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it is not in Tang Junyi's hands, everything is fine, "Now they are strictly checked when entering and leaving the city, and they should not be able to leave Minzhou, please, help me find someone." "It's not
me I won't help you, it's just that at this moment, the three of you are being tracked down by Tang Junyi, so what if you get together, they are not children, they can take care of themselves, so why should you worry about it? Why don't we think of a way to get out of here, and leave some marks for them, that's only pragmatic." Qingwu wiped the grease from his hands, looked up at Xu Ziqiao, the emotion in his eyes was extremely indifferent.
Just by coming here, he has already done Xu Ziqiao a great favor. It's not worth the risk of being discovered.
"It's easy to say, the pier should be under the jurisdiction of Liu Chong now, and now he is busy fighting with Tang Junyi. If we spend some money, we should be able to get on the boat." Xu Ziqiao said.
Qingwu shook his head, picked up the cold dish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, "It's unlikely, although Liu Chong mainly wants to deal with Tang Junyi now, you should also be on his guard, as long as you appear in his territory It should be caught, and it will not be a good thing if it falls into anyone's hands."
"The waterway is not good, and the way out of the city has been blocked. It is even more difficult to leave now." Xu Ziqiao let out a sigh of relief, with a slightly sad expression on his face, because he was thinking about Lin Huiru, and he had no intention of going there. Think about something else.
"That's true, but... see if you can ask His Majesty for help." Qingwu shrugged. This was actually a helpless move. Now at this critical moment, why not rely on someone? Xu Ziqiao rubbed the space between his brows
, "I'll see how to send a letter in a while. Now let's find a way to find Xiaoru and the others. Maybe Xiaoru can do something."
Let Qianyuan weigh this kind of thing between him and his own son, he is not sure .
Chapter 545
"Food bucket! Trash!" Tang Junyi threw the blue and white porcelain cup out, and directly smashed the head of the kneeling person in front of him.
Yu Feng, who was watching from the side, also hurried forward and knelt down, trying to appease Tang Junyi's anger, "His Royal Highness, calm down, your subordinates have sent someone to track down Mrs. Lin's whereabouts. Although the cause of the fire has not yet been ascertained, but this It must have something to do with the matter of Minzhou."
"Does this king know that someone deliberately obstructed it? But you bastards, not only can't put out the fire, but also let people run away, and now there is not even any evidence!" Tang Junyi was really angry The big one is because from now until now, there is nothing that makes him happy.
Yufeng lowered his head, as if letting go, "This subordinate is not doing well, please punish him. But this place has become a ruin, why don't you please move to the inn." "The inn?"
Tang Junyi frowned, "Now it's closed. They can't escape, go, go to the inn and search from door to door, in the name of investigating criminals, and I must find them for this king!" "Yes, my
subordinate will send someone there." Yufeng replied sound, turned and walked out.
...
Bai Qianyi stayed at the inn all night, and finally found something strange at dawn. I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, the inn they stayed in was actually in the same family as Xu Ziqiao.
Bai Qianyi just saw Qingwu who was back from shopping. He couldn't figure out why, so he waited for Lin Huiru to wake up, and then told her about it in a deep voice.
"What? Why is he here too?!" Lin Huiru's astonishment was indescribable. After all, Qingwu should be staying in the capital now, so how could he appear here? Minzhou is really a good
place, it is simply The chessboard in the capital moved over.
"Leave him alone. Let's find a way to leave this place by ourselves. We don't know what Tang Junyi is going to do. It's safer to leave this place." Lin Huiru rubbed her chin and began to feel worried.
"It's true to say that, but the city gates are now under strict inspection, and we can't escape. If there is a waterway, there may be Liu Chong..." Bai Qianyi rubbed the center of his brows with a headache. It seems that it happened once half a year ago.
But that was at a place he knew well, but this place, he was truly unfamiliar with it.
"Liu Chong is not really a threat now, let alone me as a woman, even if he knows me, he may not know what I look like. If you spend some money, maybe you can really leave by water." Lin Huiru picked Raising her eyebrows, she suddenly remembered the two gangsters on the ground before.
"This method is too risky. We don't know who those people are. Since they communicate with Wan Hengtong, they may be part of the same group." Bai Qianyi frowned, somewhat disapproving.
Lin Huiru shook her head, "That's not necessarily the case. The relationship between Wan Hengtong and Liu Chong is not very good now. They must be digging holes for each other now. The current relationship should be extremely tense. Although I don't know who that person is, but I don't know who that person is." I always feel that that person may not be Liu Chong's person. There is obviously a superficial relationship between Wan Hengtong and Liu Chongming, so why is it necessary to send a letter like this? Avoid Liu Chong."
"So, take a gamble, if we are really avoiding him, we might as well give it a try, and if it doesn't work, maybe we can have a bargaining chip with them." Lin Huiru There was firmness in his eyes, and now that he was in a dilemma, he might as well give it a go.
"But..." Bai Qianyi was still a little hesitant. After all, his main task now is to protect Lin Huiru's safety. Although he has confidence in his martial arts, he is also worried about the net of these people. After all, it is under the control of others. On the ground.
Lin Huiru patted the table and said, "That's it. If there is anything abnormal at that time, we will just go. Don't worry, we still have the means to get out. It's better than having no way at all now." good.
"Are you talking about those anti-wolf sprays?" Bai Qianyi smiled helplessly. He has indeed experienced the power of that thing. Although the effect of this kind of thing is not as good as poison, it is more uncomfortable than reading. It's still uncomfortable, and there is no way to relieve it.
Lin Huiru nodded, and she really couldn't come up with anything else.
After drinking and eating, Lin Huiru and Bai Qianyi chatted a little. After making a choice, they still chose to go to the chassis of the previous person. After all, that person seemed to be much easier to use than Old Hei. It is not known why Old Hei let them go last time. People are even better than those over there. It is not a good way to go to them to try.
After some inquiries, Lin Huiru finally found the old dog, and she threw a piece of broken silver into his bowl. Originally, the old dog was full of joy and thought that he had met a nobleman, but when he saw Lin Huiru, his face changed, "It turns out that you are a nobleman, what can you do to come to me this time?" Although he was a little reluctant to
face Yes, but I still chose to put away the money, and took Lin Huiru and the others to a place suitable for talking.
"Now that the city gate is closed, we want to leave by water. As long as you have a way, I have enough money here." Lin Huiru's words are straightforward, but she also understands in her heart that now, whether it is an old dog or an old black, two people Everyone is the local snake in this area, the news should be extremely well-informed, and they should have known about them for a long time.
The old dog chuckled, and the smile was a bit wretched, "Although I don't know who you are, nobleman, there are quite a few guards here looking for someone with your portrait recently, as well as the man behind you and the man before you, who is also King Xiang Your Highness is personally looking for someone, and it will be even more difficult for you to leave here."
Lin Huiru smiled, "Isn't this the time to show your abilities? I believe you have a way to get me out of here. "She really believed that, after all, since this kind of local snake dared to earn that kind of hard-working money like Lao Hei, not to mention courage, there must be many connections.
"Well...Actually, as long as the money is in place, it's really not a problem. But, maybe I will wrong you nobleman at that time." The old dog still had a smile on his face, and his eyes were sneakily on Lin Huiru's waist Looking at the purse.
"You tell me what is the way first. There are people who depend on you, so I can't run this way, but I have to know whether the road you mentioned is reliable or not." Lin Huiru blinked. .
Chapter 546: Golden Cicada Escapes Her Shell
The old dog thought for a while that this was indeed the case, so he sat down on a nearby rock, "But this method is really not elegant, and now because of the strict inspection, even a box of rice has to be opened and poked inside." Two knives to confirm if anyone wants to take the boat secretly."
"You can just say it directly." Lin Huiru frowned, if the matter is really so serious, then there is no other way but to find these people.
"The only thing I don't check very much now is the corpses, especially the corpses with problems. In order to earn money on some ships, they can even help people transport the corpses, but they are all placed under the cargo hold. No one knows except their own people. I The only way is for you to pretend to be mentions, and we can find a reason to send you in, just to wrong you and stay in the cargo hold." The old dog showed his yellow teeth, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
Special times, special measures.
Lin Huiru was dumb, but he didn't expect this method. Bai Qianyi frowned, "Is this method feasible? At least if we see a dead body, our faces will still look like that." "This
... If you can cover it, dress up like a refugee, and if you get a little stinky on your body, no one will take a closer look." The more this matter is said, the more disgusting it becomes.
Now Lin Huiru is a little hesitant instead. After all, although it is possible to leave this way, it is a bit too uncomfortable. Bai Qianyi is also a little hard to accept, his throat is rolling, and he wants to refuse but he has to look at Lin Huiru first. complexion.
Lin Huiru sighed and looked at the old dog, "This is the only way, nothing else?
" If it doesn't work..." The old dog shrugged, obviously saying that he had no other choice.
"Let me think about it." Lin Huiru handed the old dog a piece of silver. In order to prevent this person from revealing the news, Lin Huiru still regarded this silver as a silver to buy this person.
After picking up the money, the old dog couldn't see his smiling eyes. He took the money and waved to Lin Huiru with a smile, "All right, I'll wait for you two here." Back at the inn, Lin
Huiru Huiru was a little downcast, but Bai Qianyi was always watching behind him. When he was about to go up the stairs, he suddenly grabbed Lin Huiru's arm and quickened his pace, "Go back quickly, someone is coming.
" Glancing over his head, he saw a large number of guards in armor rushing over here.
After returning to the room, it will be a matter of time to be found out. Lin Huiru couldn't help feeling a little anxious, "What should I do? There are people outside, and now I've been hit in the stomach and back...how about lying down under the bed?" "No, honestly
. Yes, there is no place to hide, only the beams are on the roof, here is Ding Liu, I should be able to find a way to get to the roof." Bai Qianyi said, going up to the beams and trying to make a hole, and outside The poor people are also very fast, and the sound is not far from their room.
After connecting Lin Huiru, Bai Qianyi put back the tiles on the roof and found a place to lie down.
Lin Huiru kept paying attention to the side, and her heart was in her throat. She touched Bai Qianyi's arm cautiously, "Tell me, will those people come to the roof to look for it?" "Should
n't Yes." Bai Qianyi was a little puzzled, but after following Lin Huiru's line of sight, he saw that a tile not far from them was also moving.
His heart also lifted up, and after carefully changing positions with Lin Huiru, he drew out the saber that he carried with him.
The next moment, a head protruded from the leak of the tile, saw a flash of white light, and immediately shrank back. Bai Qianyi wanted to make another move, but was stopped by Lin Huiru.
I don't know why, but she seemed to see Qingwu just now...?
"It's really you?" Qingwu climbed up and pulled Xu Ziqiao up. After a few days, Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao couldn't hide their smiles when they saw that their sweetheart was safe and sound.
"It really came out of ebony through broken iron shoes. It didn't take much effort to get here. If I knew you were next door next door, I wouldn't have to send people to look for it. Fortunately, I hid quickly just now, or you would have to carry it on your back." Charged with assassinating the proton." Qingwu put the tile back and looked at Bai Qianyi with some complaints.
"Sorry." Bai Qianyi had no expression on his face, and he moved his lips for a long time before holding back two words. ââLin Huiru stared at Qingwu, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you here too? I have to say, it seems that the fate
is not ordinary to be able to meet again on the roof."
It's been a long time, maybe it's because you and your husband are destined. Hush, keep your voice down, we've checked." Qingwu put his finger in front of his lips, moved his ears and heard the sound of the room below being pushed open for inspection.
The pinging and bangs are not inspections, they are demolition at all. The four of them controlled their breathing, lying on the roof in the same posture, and breathed a sigh of relief when the voice below gradually died down. They lived in the Weifang, and Tang Junyi's people left after the investigation.
Back in the room, Lin Huiru threw herself into Xu Ziqiao's arms, "What's going on? The other day Tang Junyi told me that something happened to you, and showed me a erotic scene. I was scared to death. I was thinking about a thousand ways to die for you...but that person wasn't you."
Xu Ziqiao rubbed Lin Huiru's head, and smiled helplessly when she said that, "That day in my tea After being drugged, I don't know what happened after that."
"You should thank me well, if I hadn't come, your husband might really lose his virginity." Qingwu talked about it that day vividly. What happened, I talked about how neatly he stretched out his hand, and how heavy Xu Ziqiao was when he was dizzy. Although there was a lot of nonsense, he still explained the matter clearly.
The turning point in this matter made Lin Huiru unexpected, and Bai Qianyi was even more silent after listening to it.
"Anyway, thank you very much. When I return to the capital, I'm going to set Tang Junyi's mansion on fire!" Lin Huiru felt itchy when she heard the name Tang Junyi now, and she couldn't do anything else to Tang Junyi , the only way to be reconciled is to set fire to it.
Xu Ziqiao didn't say anything, but he noticed Hua Hua poking out his head from under the quilt. He looked a little puzzled, "Goed to the wrong room? Why is there a cat? This cat...why does it look like Tang Junyi's?"
" This one belongs to him, he wanted to kill it, and I saved it, I thought she would die if she stayed, so why not take it with me, so I took it with me, don't you think it looks real Is it pretty?" Lin Huiru said, went up to pick up the cat, stretched out his hand and scratched the cat's chin.
The cat also purred very cooperatively, closed its eyes and even enjoyed it.
Chapter 547 Leaving the city in disguise
"I have good news for you. The location of the goods you are looking for should be in the secret room of Liu Chong's Bieyuan, but there is also bad news, that is, the security there is very tight and it is difficult to get in." Qingwu explained from the window. He dropped the letter on the pigeon's feet, glanced at it hastily, and raised the note in his hand.
Lin Huiru sat at the table with the cat in her arms, and touched the cat with her hands, "But even if you know, you can sneak in. We can't take things away." More than a dozen boxes of things, even if transported by horse-drawn cart, it would take two or three cars, not to mention whether there is manpower or not, and there is not enough time.
"If you don't take it, Tang Junyi will probably take it away sooner or later. It's up to you how you choose." Qingwu burned the note with a candle, and then leaned on the side with arms crossed, quietly waiting for their reply.
Xu Ziqiao was silent for a long time, but still struggled in his heart, "We have to find a way to take this batch of things away."
Yes, we must take it away. Now that Tang Junyi has murderous intentions towards them, if he gains the upper hand this time, wouldn't he be more able to trouble them when he goes back? Only by solving this matter for His Majesty this time, and suppressing it again, can they keep their own status.
"However, not to mention taking it out, how to take it away should also be a problem." Lin Huiru propped her chin and looked at Qingwu, she always felt that this guy must have a way. Although Qingwu seems unreliable, in fact, in retrospect, some recent incidents cannot do without his help.
Furthermore, she really didn't want to pretend to be a dead person to smuggle out.
"Look at what I'm doing, I have nothing to do this time, but it's okay if I leave, you have to figure out how to get the stuff out." Qingwu shrugged, but he didn't lie, after all, he tried every means to follow Well, he has to make sure that he has a way out, so he still has a way to leave.
"If there is a way to leave, it's easy to talk about. I have a way to get out what Liu Chong has there." Xu Ziqiao narrowed his eyes, and a plan had already formed in his heart.
"What way?" Lin Huiru suddenly became energetic.
"The reason why the Wan family is on fire is probably because Liu Chong is playing tricks behind him. Now that he is busy dealing with Tang Junyi, we can use the same trick to burn him down. When the fire is chaotic, we can give the things back to him. Ship it out." Xu Ziqiao seemed to have a plan in his hands, and in this matter, he could only succeed and not fail.
Lin Huiru frowned, feeling that it was too risky to do so, "That is to say, even if Liu Chong is very confident in his secret room, he still has to create a big enough fire. Then, how to move it out is the problem. We don't have enough manpower. Even if I grit my teeth and don't want my own things, there are nine boxes of the imperial court alone. At least eighteen people are needed. If there are so many people, it will be too eye-catching A little bit."
"That's not the case, we just need to take away the important things. This time, apart from some gold and silver treasures, the others are some handwritten things. In fact, they don't take up much space and weigh a lot." It's not heavy, as long as ten people should be able to take it away." After careful consideration in Xu Ziqiao's mind, he said in a deep voice, he did not believe that there were not even ten people here in Qingwu.
"Actually, we don't have to take it away. It's okay to find a place to hide it. When the time comes, we will get the emperor's order and send someone to take it away." Lin Huiru's eyes suddenly lit up.
Qingwu nodded, "It's not unreasonable, it is indeed feasible to do so, and if you leave like this, the target will not be too big to attract people's attention, it is the best way. But... I can't be in vain for this person." I can't help you if you are busy."
Judging from what he meant, he should have asked for something in exchange. Xu Ziqiao raised his eyes and looked over, "What do you want?"
"Don't be so wary, I don't want money or any rights or secrets, but I want to go to the place where the Ministry of Criminal Justice keeps files to find something, just help me when the time comes And I just took a look and didn't take it away." Please don't say that, it seems like it's really a trivial matter.
But Xu Ziqiao is very vigilant. After all, although Qingwu has helped a lot, he is still from the enemy country. Out of precaution, he has to be careful if he has other intentions, "What dossier do you want to see?" ?"
"A case should not be something very confidential." There was a hint of sadness in Qingwu's eyes suddenly, which made people not want to ask further.
"Okay, first of all you have to help me get things done. And it's not too late, it should be done as soon as possible." Xu Ziqiao said, his eyes suddenly fell on Lin Huiru, "She doesn't know martial arts, so send her out first. We will meet again sometime."
"You might as well send the two of you out directly, or you will have to assign someone to protect her and put her in my hands, can you rest assured?" Qingwu folded her arms and picked He raised his eyebrows, took a sip of herbal tea and sighed, "Okay, I'll take care of things for you, the two of you first find a way to get out of the city to the next checkpoint, the officials there should be able to use your position to make things easier , I'll take care of the affairs here."
As long as we leave Minzhou, the officials in the neighboring city are still under Xu Ziqiao's command, but there are no troops and we can't ask for help now. The only thing we can do is to get through the relationship and ask him to let him go.
"Okay, then do as you said, set a time, and we will meet there." Xu Ziqiao nodded, just in time, he also needs to do something in the past.
"I can leave tonight, and Tang Junyi and Liu Chong will meet at night, which happens to be a good time. The day after tomorrow, we will meet you the day after tomorrow, and leave Qianyi as my helper." Qingwu smiled with curved eyes. With a smile, he went forward and patted Bai Qianyi's arm.
Bai Qianyi just looked at him coldly, without saying anything, "Be careful on the road, I always feel that Tang Junyi has other plans this time." Everyone has
this uneasy feeling, but right now there is a way After stepping on it and nodding to show that they understood, Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru Qiaozhuang dressed up as two ordinary couples under the cover of make-up and set off on the road.
Qingwu kept crossing her arms upstairs and looked down with a smile on her face, until they were far away from her sight, and she was still staring at something.
"Don't try to play any tricks. Since you are going to act tonight, don't you need to remind your subordinates?" Bai Qianyi stared at Qingwu closely, and his vigilance towards this person has not relaxed at all.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange things properly." Qingwu smiled and closed the window.
Chapter 548: Revenge
"You don't have to stare at me like a thief. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. I have become a proton now. Of course I won't pay any attention." After drinking a cup of tea, his face was full of sternness, what happened tonight was a hard job.
Bai Qianyi sneered from the side, "I just can't figure it out, your ability can be regarded as the dragon and phoenix among people in the world, why do you have to ask them to cooperate? You need such a courteous look, if you have nothing else Only a fool will believe it."
"My purpose is very simple, I just want to get a share of the pie." Qing Wu's expectation was very relaxed, as if it was as simple as adding a dish to the meal.
"Share a piece of the pie? Do you think you will get a knighthood when? Since you are so capable, it must not be a problem to win the whole of Anguo. The reputation of usurping the throne is much better than treason. Will be suppressed, can you be such a willing person?" Bai Qianyi crossed his arms and looked Qingwu up and down, blocking all Qingwu's arguments.
After hearing this, Qingwu just smiled, without any fear or panic of being seen through when lying, "Are you so short-sighted? I'm not interested in Huang Wei. I run between two places at two o'clock and one line every day. I don't care about everything." To earn a little money, apart from watching a group of people kowtow and flatter you, everything else is a hassle. I have money, and for a tael of money a day, there are crowds of people who want to kowtow." "Then what are you doing for?
" ?" Bai Qianyi was even more puzzled. This person said that he didn't care much about rights, but the careers he made were all in exchange for rights. No matter how you say it, it's also contradictory. Putting such a person by your side , It's simply feeding tigers.
"Is your life so boring? Money and power are important, but they can't compare to two interesting people. Don't you think that both of them are interesting? I admit that I had a conspiracy with Lin Huiru before, but since Wu The meeting has been clarified, so I found this person is more interesting than what others described, but I don't have any out-of-the-ordinary thoughts, and the two of them are dragons and phoenixes, wouldn't it be good to be friends? ?" Qingwu's gaze was fixed on Bai Qianyi, "Could it be that you have some schemes as a bodyguard?"
Bai Qianyi was dumbfounded, he was so questioned by Qingwu that he didn't know what to say, although he had hatred, but after so many years, the hatred was not so unforgettable, not to mention that the official back then was dead, maybe he My ambition is to live well.
Before, he would regard finding his sister as a kind of sustenance, but now his own sister has also been found by Lin Huiru, so it is not bad to have an interesting master together like this.
He didn't refute Qingwu anymore, and Qingwu didn't bite him, took a sip of tea, got up and walked out swaggeringly, "Let's go, we have to explore the way, otherwise the things won't come to the door by themselves."
...
Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao walked down the street with their heads down. Although they had put on some make-up, they were still a little afraid of meeting someone staring at them on the street. Lin Huiru's hand kept holding Xu Ziqiao's clothes Xu Ziqiao protected her behind her and lowered her voice, "It's okay, don't worry."
There were not many people coming and going to check on the street, and it might be because Tang Junyi didn't dare to look for the two of them blatantly. All the way was surprisingly smooth, but he was stopped when he was leaving the city.
Others just glanced at it and let it go. After seeing so many people, these officers and soldiers had already remembered the looks of the two of them by heart. But even though Qiao Zhuang has dressed up now, and Xu Ziqiao has put on a fake beard, the two people and the portraits are inevitably somewhat similar. When the officers and soldiers took the drawing paper for comparison, Lin Huiru suddenly had an idea and coughed.
She pretended to be an image, coughing so that the people around her started to walk around, and she even started to scratch her arms and neck, deliberately showing some red rashes in front of the officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers were also a little afraid of the patients. They stepped back a little, frowned and began to question, "What are you two doing, and where did you come from?
" , hurriedly pulled Lin Huiru behind him and lowered his voice, "Forgive me, the official, we just came to see relatives, but my wife suddenly fell ill, with inexplicable high fever and cough, and many rashes on her body, the doctor couldn't tell The reason for this is not to let us...cough cough..."
Just as he was talking, Xu Ziqiao also started to cough, and a little rash appeared when he raised his sleeve and scratched. Facing the terrified officers and soldiers, he smiled apologetically, "Let's go back to the village and take a look. The disease seems to be contagious. The officers should stay away from us.
" Not wanting to continue the investigation, he just waved his hand and drove them away.
After leaving the city, Lin Huiru giggled until she was in a place where there were few people. This was a way she had prepared for emergencies. Although these officers and soldiers worked hard for the court, who didn't want to live for a while longer? If there is no similarity in general, the person will be released.
Xu Ziqiao couldn't laugh, he frowned and pulled Lin Huiru's arm, his tone a little displeased, "There's no need to make yourself look like this when acting, your arms are going to be scratched, and your voice is hoarse, I'll give it to you first." Apply some medicine."
Seeing that he was so worried about herself, Lin Huiru couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, "Let's keep it, if you don't pretend to be a little bit, they may become suspicious, and it will disappear in the afternoon. I know you're worried about me, so let's go, or what if someone interrogates me again?"
Despite his distress, Xu Ziqiao could only put the medicine back in his bosom as she said, "Thanks to you weird Ways, but next time this kind of thing happens, I'll do it. It's ugly for a woman to leave scars, and you will cry then."
Lin Huiru pouted when she heard this, "Don't talk about me, you have a scar on your body. That scar probably won't go away forever, and when you touch your abdominal muscles in the future, you'll always feel the scar, but I don't dislike you, so why don't you still dislike me?
" It's reasonable, I can't say no to you, in short, don't scratch yourself if it's not necessary." Although Xu Ziqiao meant to blame, but in the words and in the eyes, it was full of distress.
"I see, I see. There is a sugar water seller in front. We can drink a bowl before leaving." Lin Huiru looked at the sugar water stand in front of him, and changed the topic with a bright light.
Chapter 549 Too Cunning
That night, Tang Junyi still couldn't wait for any news of discovery, so he couldn't help but look gloomy and scary, "Yufeng, how did you tell this king?" Yufeng immediately knelt down, still puzzled in his heart,
" It's because my subordinates are not doing well, so I will definitely increase my search efforts. However, there is something you need to think about, Your Highness." "
What is it?" Tang Junyi asked angrily, rubbing the space between his brows.
"There seems to be an infectious disease in Minzhou. There was a couple who went out of the city yesterday. Both of them had a fever, cough and rash. If any symptoms really start, Your Highness, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. You should go back to the capital first. "Yufeng consolidated yesterday's news, and this is the only useful piece of news among them,
but Tang Junyi frowned after hearing this, "Infectious disease? Couple? What are the characteristics of that couple? How did the officers and soldiers know?"
"It is said that they felt a little similar. Upon closer inspection, the woman suddenly started coughing and had rashes on her body and face, as did the man. In addition, they had obvious features. The man had a beard, and the woman had a face. If there is a scar, the officers and soldiers will be let go." Yufeng thought for a while and replied truthfully.
Having said that, Tang Junyi's doubts were even worse, "Is the accent from Minzhou?"
Yufeng was taken aback, and hurried out to find the person on duty to confirm. When he came back, his face was serious, "It's not from Minzhou. Accent, listen to the accent... Maybe they are from the capital."
"A bunch of trash, why don't you go after them?" Tang Junyi turned around with a sneer on his face, and he had already guessed Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao's intentions.
"Yes, those two people are said to be walking out of the city, and they should be able to catch up soon. Please wait a moment, Your Highness..." Yu Feng was speaking, when a man who looked like a guard came in from outside and leaned into his ear What he said made his expression change.
After repeated confirmation, Yufeng reported with some headaches, "Your Highness, Liu Chong's mansion in the suburbs caught fire, and now he has quarreled with the city guards, so he must go back."
"It's just a house. If it burns down, it will burn down. What is he in such a hurry to do?" Tang Junyi became interested when he said this. What can make Liu Chong so nervous must be that there is something in that house, and Just before, they also found out that there was a secret room over there.
"Tell him, it's just a house, at worst, I will give him another set. But I can't break the rules of this king, let him go back and rest in peace." Having said that, Tang Junyi stood up and left go out.
He wanted to see what was in that house.
Due to the entanglement at the city gate for too long, not only Liu Chong was disheartened, but Tang Junyi was also a step late, and he only found an empty secret room despite his haste.
It was Bai Qianyi and Qingwu who caught up with the cargo convoy after watching Tang Junyi jump into a rage.
On the way to escape, Bai Qianyi suddenly remembered something, he speeded up to catch up with Qingwu, and asked with a frown, "Did Tang Junyi tell you how he found out that we are here? "
He didn't notice it, I said it." Qingwu didn't hide it, and said it directly and generously, and got Bai Qianyi's eyes full of emotions.
"Don't look at me like that. I have to do something to gain his trust. Besides, you haven't lost anything. I really didn't expect the two of you to beat that group of trash. I'll think about this kind of thing in the future." Yes. But I have to say, this time your progress is too slow." Qingwu glanced at Bai Qianyi, and still set the horse fast.
Now is not the time to stop and talk, after all, the cargo is too heavy, and Tang Junyi will be able to follow the marks of the horseshoes and wheels to catch up in a short while.
Bai Qianyi showed a little anger. After all, those who came to chase them were not as light as Qingwu said. Those people were like a group of mad dogs. They used everything, and all the hidden weapons were poisoned. What's more, even if his arm is about to be crippled, he still chases after him, "You put it lightly."
"No way, he pushed too hard. I sent you a letter, but it seems that you haven't received it." Qingwu clicked his tongue lightly, and frowned slightly. Someone is watching him too.
They rode their horses and galloped all night in the darkness, and when they arrived at the neighboring city, it was already dawn. There were marks where Xu Ziqiao had sat down in some places on the street, and they soon found Xu Ziqiao and Lin Huiru who was sleeping soundly.
"I have to say, it's good to be a woman, and you can be taken care of wherever you go." Qingwu's words were not malicious, but she just sighed casually, and stretched her waist by the way, but Bai Qianyi came across Remember the eye knife.
"Master Xu, he revealed our affairs in Minzhou. I don't think this person can be trusted." Bai Qianyi frowned and walked to Xu Ziqiao's side.
Xu Ziqiao was playing with the teacup in his hand, "I know that the person who delivered the letter died as soon as he arrived, and at the same time, he didn't know who was watching him. The current situation is mixed. Now is not the time to talk about these things. Mr. Zhao here has already Promise to try to stop it, we have to get on the road as soon as possible, the backyard has prepared a fast horse, let's go."
Since Lin Huiru was still in a daze, she had to be hugged by Xu Ziqiao and hurried on the road, and finally ran out When it was five miles away, it woke her up.
"The carriage is too slow. We still have to catch the first boat back to the capital. I will work hard for you first." Looking at the sleepy Lin Huiru in his arms, Xu Ziqiao wrapped her in a cloak and ordered in a low voice. .
Lin Huiru nodded, and continued to lie on Xu Ziqiao's chest until the pier. Fortunately, the arrangement was proper, and they boarded the boat to go out to sea smoothly. Not long after they went out to sea, they even saw Tang Junyi's man on horseback following their trail.
"Obviously I asked the officials to help, but they are still chasing so fast, they are really like mad dogs." Lin Huiru also woke up at this moment, she opened the window in the room and looked into the distance, her eyes narrowed slightly .
"Left and right we have already boarded the boat. They won't last long, and it will be difficult for a large number of people to catch up with us. Finally, we can rest assured." Qingwu's lips were dry and skinned by the wind, he I poured myself a cup of tea, took a sip and let out a long breath.
"Let's not talk about that first, where did you hide your things?" Xu Ziqiao looked at Qingwu. He didn't ask too many questions when he was in time for the assignment before. Now that he has free time, what Bai Qianyi said before also reminded him , There are some things that need to be asked carefully.
"I didn't hide it, so I ordered someone to take it away from the official road. The few of us left lightly, and he should have guessed that we would hide things, so I split into two groups, and took the stone along the way to find a place to hide Get up, all the way should be on the official path now." Qingwu said so, which made Xu Ziqiao feel relieved.
Chapter 550 Tail
The return trip was fairly smooth, but when it was close to the capital and there was still a day of waterway, the sky on the sea suddenly became gloomy, and the thunder seemed to hang over the top of the head, and the window frame was rattled by the strong wind. Even Lin Huiru couldn't close the windows.
"Too bad, it might be a storm." Xu Ziqiao frowned. Storms of this magnitude are rare, and judging from the current situation, the ship might not be able to bear it.
Lin Huiru sat on the bed and still needed to hold on to the pillars beside her. Now the ship was shaking a little, but it only took a short time for a stick of incense. It seemed that the storm was coming fiercely. She smiled wryly, "This time it's God Kill us, it's a sunny day."
"Don't be too pessimistic, wait for me here, I'll go down and ask about the situation." Although Xu Ziqiao comforted her in this way, her brows were slightly frowned. First of all, this ship is said to be built according to the standard of an official ship, so it should still be able to withstand wind and waves. What's more, all the places on the ship are still very new, as long as it doesn't last long, it should still last.
"I'll go with you." Lin Huiru pulled his hand on the corner of his clothes, and after acting like a baby, he took advantage of the wind and waves and went all the way down to the lobby on the first floor. At this moment, there are also many people gathered here. They all showed fear and asked the captain about the situation here.
The captain was also flustered, "Don't worry, everyone, our ship is a new ship, and the standard is built according to the official ship. Generally speaking, it will be no problem to use it for ten or twenty years. But it will be postponed for a few days, and please go back to your room to rest, gentlemen, don't bump into each other."
Lin Huiru wanted to go up to ask more questions, but Xu Ziqiao pulled her arm and gave him a look, and resumed Back in the wing room on the third floor, Bai Qianyi and Qingwu also gathered together, their faces full of sorrow.
"That's what the old slicker said, but this boat may not be able to stand it. At least in this kind of weather, it is impossible to control the direction. If the wind direction is wrong, it is not impossible to run into a reef. What's worse is that the wind is not predicted. , if the hull is pitched and entered the water, it is not impossible for the ship to sink." Qingwu clicked his tongue lightly, but he was very frank.
"There's nothing we can do about this kind of thing, but when I came back just now, I always felt that someone was staring at us. It's better to be careful." Xu Ziqiao frowned tightly. Unpredictable things can only wait for fate to line up alone, but the kind of The feeling of being watched made him very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, the ship shook violently again, but gradually stabilized again, probably because the anchor had been found to be fixed, so that at least it would not go with the current and touch the reef.
The sound of crackling rain came from outside, and the raindrops the size of beans poured down, the sound was very shocking. This is not only one of Lin Huiru's few boat rides, but also the first time she has encountered this kind of storm, and there is that kind of voice that makes people tremble.
As soon as she was about to speak, Qingwu put her finger in front of her lips. Although there was a lot of noise outside, it did not prevent him from hearing the footsteps outside.
Lin Huiru swallowed her saliva and looked at Qingwu, only to see that he took out a short dagger from his pocket, and threw it out after accumulating some strength. There was no trace of people, only a few drops of dark red liquid on the ground.
"It's really been targeted, but since Tang Junyi has this kind of original, why don't more people follow him?" Lin Huiru looked at the two ends of the corridor, and there was no trace of anyone entering any room. And I didn't hear the sound of the door opening or closing just now, it seems that people should have run downstairs.
"It shouldn't be his people. Do you remember that when we came, there were people who wanted to assassinate? Now I suspect that they are together. Maybe when we came out from Jingcheng, we were targeted by someone." Xu Ziqiao He closed the door again with a serious tone.
Lin Huiru felt at a loss at this time, "But this is strange, not many people know about the news we came out, and it will not be His Majesty who wants to kill us, and if it is His Majesty's arm, how could it be so easy? We escaped and got stabbed?"
"There's no way to think about it here, I'll go out and see if I can find any clues." After speaking, Bai Qianyi opened the door and chased him out.
No matter what he encountered, Qingwu remained calm. He glanced at the teapot that was nearly full of water and smiled, "It doesn't matter, we will soon know who that person is. That dagger is not too serious. Cleanliness is not something that can be solved by covering up the wound, you guys, after all, you are not deeply involved in the world."
Not deeply involved in the world? It is true.
"You didn't put poison on it, did you? If someone died, we'd have nothing to prove when we started?" Lin Huiru sat down, the hull was much more balanced now, only the sound of wind and rain outside was scary, Make her have to speak louder to hear clearly.
"It's poisonous, but it won't kill you, it'll just fester and itch. Of course, if you don't pick it up for a long time, you will die. In this situation, it won't take a night for you to get out of the way." His face said With a smile, he proudly raised his eyebrows.
This expression made Lin Huiru shudder suddenly. This person is really terrifying. She smiled and said with joy, "If you do this, you won't be afraid of accidentally injuring yourself with the dagger? After all, it's so sharp, if it gets cut Tsk tsk."
"You underestimate us martial arts practitioners, for us, hidden weapons are like your women's fingernails or hairpins, you can scratch yourself with your nails or use a hairpin Stabbing yourself to death?" Qing Wu couldn't help but rolled his eyes and asked back.
Xu Ziqiao looked at the two people bickering helplessly, but got up on a whim and opened the window. Although it was only a small gap, the rain and wet wind blowing in made Lin Huiru and Qingwu couldn't help but shriek, "What are you doing?" What?"
"According to what you said, if that person doesn't want to be exposed, he should choose to jump down and leave us without a trace. Since the master of the other party sent him out, it must not be some kind of frontline blade. People should at least do things properly." Xu Ziqiao frowned, but the wind outside made it hard for him to open his eyes, the surface of the water was pitch black, and it was raining, so even if he jumped, he might not be able to see it. See.
Qingwu wiped his face, and hurried forward to close the window, "Are you an idiot? It's raining so heavily, and it's so dark outside, how can you see it?"
