Chapter 41: The Strange Boy
The back garden of the capital, Changping County, on the day of the winter solstice, the night is very long. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the inn, Liu Shuangli finished eating dumplings, put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up, and looked around.
The doors of the guest rooms are closed and the windows are closed. Although there is no one guarding the door or window, just this closed door and window is enough to stop the footsteps of most people in this world.
However, since it is the majority, there is a small group of people who are exceptions.
Therefore, when Liu Shuangli heard the knocking sound of 'dong dong' sounding from the window on the other side, he did not show surprise.
The closed window was pried open from the outside, and what appeared in front of the window was a face that was extremely unfamiliar to Liu Shuangli.
"Who are you?" asked Liu Shuangli with wide eyes.
The person who appeared in front of the window was a boy, a boy who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, the same age as Liu Shuangli. Looking at it by candlelight, the person looked very delicate, but as soon as he appeared in front of the window, he grinned at Liu Shuangli, looking weird.
"I'm here to take you out. The boy replied quietly.
"Take me out?" Liu Shuangli's eyes were still wide open.
"Well," the boy nodded, propped his hands on the windowsill, leaned out of the window and looked around the room, and smiled wide-mouthed, "You're not bad here, it seems that the people in the Yama shop are not the type to abuse prisoners." ”
"You-" Liu Shuangli raised his eyebrows, "who are you, what are you doing here?"
The boy pulled his head back, looked at Liu Shuangli, and said with a smile: "I said, I'm the one who came to take you out." Speaking of this, he paused, didn't wait for Liu Shuangli to ask, and then said, "Don't tell me, you can't move if you are poisoned, I won't carry you." Brother Xu said, that half-wisp of incense won't work for you, if you want to run away, it's no problem at all. But you don't know the way, that's why I want to take you there. ”
Liu Shuangli was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to come back to his senses, what the boy said, glared at him and asked again: "Who are you, a person from the Han Mansion of the Marquis of Yongding?"
"Well," the boy nodded, "I'm the second son's waiter, my name is Mingyu." ”
"Second son?" Liu Shuangli was taken aback.
"Yes, don't tell me you don't know who the second son is. We haven't met you, but we all know who you are. As for you, you must know about our second son. The boy said repeatedly.
"Well, of course I know about your second son. Liu Shuangli replied.
said so, the second son of the Han Mansion, of course she knew. But I only know that there is such a person, and I know that he has a disabled foot and cannot walk freely. She has never been to the Han Mansion, and among the masters of the Han Mansion, she has always seen only the third son, Han Qihai. Therefore, since he knew about the Yongding Hou Han Mansion, when he talked about the son of the Yongding Hou Han Mansion, Liu Shuangli could only think of Han Qihai alone. She has no concept of the second son.
When the boy heard this, he nodded, and the smile on his face was very natural: "It's good to know, come with me." ”
"Coming with you?" Liu Shuangli was startled again.
"yes, if you don't leave, you'll have to wait a long time. ”
"This-" Liu Shuangli stared at the boy in front of him, and really wanted to say to him, why should I go with you, why do you say that you are the servant of the second son of the Han Mansion, I have to believe you.
But after 'this' for a long time, Liu Shuangli still didn't say this word in his heart.
Liu Shuangli didn't move, but the boy waited impatiently: "Why don't you leave, are you used to living here and don't want to go." ”
"Nope. Liu Shuangli glared at the boy angrily, and said in his heart, to go or not to go. After thinking about it, he saw that the boy was anxious, and urged her in his mouth. She smiled bitterly and sighed secretly: Forget it, this person doesn't look like a bad person. And she has always been very easy to trust people, and until now, she has never suffered a catastrophe, so let's gamble again.
Thinking of this, Liu Shuangli didn't say much, nodded at the boy, and said, "Okay, don't be wordy, I'll just go with you." Motioning for the boy to give way, she jumped out of the window, and jumped out of the window with a light effort.
The windowsill is on the second floor, and it is higher than the second floor of ordinary people's houses, and if ordinary people jump out of this window, they will be half-crippled if they don't die. But Liu Shuang left his body with light skills, internal force and dark luck, and jumped out, but he fell to the ground lightly and skillfully, unscathed.
Speaking of which, the half-wisp of incense poison that made the thousand-faced judge speak miraculously played a role in Liu Shuangli's body for less than a day, and then Liu Shuangli felt that the strength in his body returned to normal. She herself was still very puzzled, she didn't know what was going on, and she didn't dare to ask the thousand-faced judge, so she could only continue to pretend to be poisoned. Suspicious and hidden.
I don't want to have a picture with this boy tonight, and let him point out that he is fine, and the doubts in my heart are even greater.
Following the boy and turning a street, Liu Shuangli looked at the boy's footsteps like the wind, his movements were extremely flexible, and he was also a martial artist.
"Wait a minute, how do you know I'm okay, I'm not poisoned?" After turning another street, the boy still didn't mean to stop, and Liu Shuangli finally couldn't help but ask.
"It's natural that you're not poisoned, isn't it?" replied the boy as a matter of course.
"How natural?" Liu Shuangli was even more curious.
"Brother Xu said. The boy replied.
"Brother Xu, is it Brother Xu Zhensheng?"
"Yes, there is no other big brother Xu in the Han Mansion. The boy laughed.
"Where is he?" asked Liu Shuangli again.
"Brother Xu, at the third son's place. ”
"What about the third son, where is he?"
"Third son, naturally, it's in the northwest silver mountain. The boy replied with a smile.
"Northwest Silver Mountain?"
Seeing Liu Shuangli's look of surprise, the boy finally slowed down his steps, looked back at Liu Shuangli, and explained: "The third prince has been arranging a gossip array in Yinshan in the northwest for more than half a month. Just three days ago, the third prince finally succeeded in using a trick to lure the thousand-faced judge of Yan Luodian to the silver mountain. Judging from the news sent back by Brother Xu this morning, the thousand-faced judge has completely fallen into the gossip array of the third prince and will never be able to get out. ”
Liu Shuangli opened his eyes wide and stared at the boy: "What's going on?"
The boy also glared back at Liu Shuangli: "That's what the girl heard." The second son also said, let Miss Liu, rest assured. Because the judge who captured you with a thousand faces was very proud, and tried in vain to be their Hades, so he didn't report your matter to them. In other words, Miss Liu is safe, and no one knows about you and the prince. ”
"This-" Liu Shuangli smiled awkwardly, and for a while he didn't know how to reply to the boy's words, and after thinking for a while, he turned to ask, "What about Lian'er, what's wrong with her?"
"Lian'er, is that the daughter of the Fifth Hall Master of the Zhengbei Alliance, oh, I heard the second prince say, she let the thousand-faced judge send her away. ”
"Where's the go?"
"It's been sent to Hades. The boy replied.
"Hades?" Liu Shuangli was startled.
"Yes, I heard that as early as half a month ago, that girl was sent to Hades by the Judge of a Thousand Faces. The boy nodded back.
"That-" Liu Shuangli was stunned, "what about the people of the Zhengbei Alliance, how are they, do you have any action about this?"
"Zhengbei League?" the boy tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know about this, the second son didn't mention them." ”
Liu Shuangli froze for a while, lowered his head and silently followed the boy for another while, before he seemed to think of something, and asked again: "What about Brother Chen Fan, how have they been in the past half a month?"
"Chen Fan, those bandits?" the boy thought for a moment and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen them appear in Changping County. ”
"It's gone," Liu Shuangli was taken aback again, "How can it be gone?"
"I don't know. The boy shouted dissatisfiedly, and urged impatiently, "Girl, don't ask, let's go." ”
Seeing that the boy was urging, Liu Shuangli not only did not speed up his pace, but stopped his steps completely, staring at the boy with a pair of starry eyes, and said, "Little brother, can you tell me, where are we going?"
The boy pouted and stomped his feet, and said in a very anxious manner: "Do you still need to ask, of course I went to see the second son." ”
"Second Prince Han, did he come to Changping too?" Liu Shuang said bizarrely.
"That's right, I'm here, how could he not come. The man urged, "Girl, let's go quickly." ”
"Oh," Liu Shuangli nodded as if he understood, his steps still didn't move, he looked up and looked around, and muttered, "We're walking back." ”
"Go back?" This time it was the boy who made a surprised sound.
"Well," Liu Shuangli nodded again, pointed to the dark and bottomless alley in front of him, and said, "I recognize here, go down this alley to the end, and after a short turn, it will be where I lived when I first came to Changping." ”
"Yes," the boy smiled, "and the girl has a good memory." ”
Liu Shuangli thought about it sideways and said, "Actually, it's not that I have a good memory. ”
"What?" the boy was obviously also a little interested, and instead of urging Liu Shuangli to leave, he asked according to her wishes.
Liu Shuangli turned his eyes again, stared at the boy, and said, "It's this alley, it's not unforgettable at all." ”
"What's wrong with this alley?" the boy smiled with a glance.
"This alley," Liu Shuangli said, turning his head to look at the half-adult-high masonry and mud wall on the left, "if I'm not mistaken, follow the layout of the courtyard in this area." Climbing over this high wall, behind it should be the small courtyard where Lian'er and I were first brought to Changchang and arranged to stay. ”
"The girl is really careful. The boy squinted and praised.
Liu Shuangli turned his head, looked at the person in front of him, and asked slowly, "Say, who are you?"
"Who am I?" The person in front of him suddenly looked up and laughed, and as he laughed, the original innocence and innocence on his face disappeared completely, and then was replaced by a dark expression like a ghost underground. (To be continued.) )
