Chapter 16: A Messy Feeling
Sima Lan sat in front of the dragon book case, it was already dark, but he didn't let Mr. Gao light the lamp. Recently, Sima Lan has been a little anxious, the Eastern Dynasty has just been established for a year, the people are in the process of recuperation, Shinong, industry and commerce have developed greatly compared with the previous dynasty to a certain extent, and the border defense has also been sent to Jiang Guangshang, and Lin Dongsheng has basically begun to take shape. But there are still many unsatisfactory ones.
The two people in the Central Plains who once fought the world with themselves and now set themselves up as kings, although they are obedient on the surface, secretly they disobey the yang and the yin.
What bothered Sima Lan even more was the Cao Gang, who was in charge of all the water transportation in the country. Although he did not oppose the imperial court on the surface, Sima Lan still couldn't rest assured. Three waves of secret guards were dispatched successively, but none of them found the slightest information about the main personnel. It's just that it is said that the gang leader is a handsome boy in white clothes and white masks, and the dragon can't see the head and the tail. It can be seen that the depth of this person's city has always been a hidden danger.
Sima Lan rubbed his temples and looked at Xue Fei who was kneeling in front of him, Xue Fei was in charge of the intelligence in Yicheng. It seems to be an eventful time in Yicheng recently, and there are more opportunities to see Xue Fei.
"Your Majesty, recently there is an organization in Yicheng called the Green Gang. The leader is said to be a man wearing a blue mask, with a slender and slender figure and a medium build, whose exact identity is unknown. The Green Gang had activities in Ping'an Lane at first, and then disappeared, but quickly annexed some ruffians in Yicheng, forming their own forces, wearing a face towel for every action, and wearing the Green Gang logo on their sleeves and arms. At present, there is no other move than to annex the territory of the ruffians. β
"It's a masked one again!" Sima Lan thought a little irritably.
"The man who was downstairs in Juxian Building three months ago has disappeared since that day. The subordinates are investigating, but there has been no news. On that day, the man of the Immortal Habitat did not appear again after the secret guard was lost. Please punish the master. β
Sima Lan was very surprised, he was very clear about Xue Fei's strength, and even he only found a general idea, but not any specifics. It can be seen that the Cao Gang, the Qing Gang, and the three people downstairs in Juxian are not ordinary. What kind of force is it?
"After Wu Hou and the old lady were poisoned, Mrs. Yu brought back an old woman yesterday to detoxify Wu Hou and the old lady, this old woman, with superb medical skills, has controlled the spread of the toxin. Our people also said that the scar on Madame Yu's face had also healed. Mrs. Yu said that she had made a wish, but now the old lady and Wu Hou are fine, and they are ready to repay their wishes, but they don't know where they are going. β
"Let's go down!" Sima Lan waved his hand and walked to the royal table alone, there have been many things around Wu Hou recently, and I don't know what the people behind it are.
Mo Gongzi sat at the stone table in the manor, and there was a black-clothed secret guard standing beside him.
"Master, the last assassination has been clarified, and on the surface, it is the killer bought by Yanghu's second master, Li Mingquan, in order to avenge his eldest brother's revenge. In fact, there are traces of Uncle Zhuang, but Uncle Zhuang is very deep. β
"Li Mingquan, hum! I don't know what to do, don't be afraid. Back then, his brother did a lot of evil, and I thought that he may not have known it when he was young, so let him go. Fortunately, I didn't believe him unconditionally, but I also buried a hidden stake. I didn't expect him to be like this now, and when the time is ripe to embark on this road, just notify our people to do it. Uncle Zhuang has always been ambitious, and he is also very prestigious in the gang, so he has to think slowly, don't startle the snake first. What happened to Wu Hou and the old lady?"
"Madam Yu, please bring an old lady, Wu Hou and the old lady's poison has been controlled. But if you want to solve it all, the old lady said that Mrs. Yu is the antidote, but she still needs a car bell to guide her. The bell has the effect of purifying, but it needs to be used according to the medicine cited, and ordinary pharmacists will not use it. Because it is not used well, it will not only fail to exert its effect, but also produce highly toxic. The growth conditions of this drug are also extremely harsh and it is extremely difficult to find. Many years ago, I heard that there was a plant in the Medicine Poison City, but I don't know who the final flower will be. β
"You say that Lady Jade is the antidote, what do you say?"
"The old lady and Mrs. Yu didn't say anything, and their subordinates didn't hear it. β
"I just received the news that Li Bing went to Tingfeng Yayuan. The man in black wanted to say more, but he just ...... , a gust of wind blew, and Mo Gongzi was gone. Isn't there a saying that says, "I'm the only one left messy in the wind"?
Listen to the wind in the garden.
"Ling'er, Ling'er, I'm here!" Xiao Qing shouted as soon as he arrived in the hall.
"This master, we are not open today, you can come back another day!" an old woman stopped Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing took out a jade pendant from his arms, with a traditional beautified blue character in the middle. The old woman, hurriedly saluted, "It turns out that Li Ye is here, please come inside." β
"Ling'er, it's so leisurely!
Xiangling was still sitting in front of the piano, a little melancholy, listening to Feng Yayuan and all the girls being bought together, which naturally included herself. Thinking that I have been tossing and turning for many years, and my fate is in the palm of someone else's hand, how can it not be sad. However, I have never been able to be the master, and I don't know if there is a chance to return to my hometown and live according to my own wishes.
"I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, today I heard that Feng Yayuan changed owners and was closed for business. But I'm not on duty today, so I can play a song to my son according to my heart, would you like to hear it?"
"Okay, Ling'er play it quickly, I'll listen to it!"
I saw Xiangling's slender fingers swimming between the strings, and the beautiful music came from the wind, poignant and sad, like crying. There seems to be endless sadness and helplessness, filling the chest, but there is nowhere to solve it.
Xiao Qing can understand this state of mind, since he came to this world, he is not in this kind of thought all the time, helpless, lost, hesitant, aggrieved, although he doesn't touch or think, he still can't dissipate even a little. Xiao Qing has always been an optimistic person, but no matter how optimistic he is, it is nothing more than a strong support. But the reality is already like this, what can we do except to push forward?
Xiao Qing walked to the piano sadly and looked down at Xiangling. Xiangling's face was as usual, but there was less smile on her lips, and she was so strong that it made people feel distressed. Presumably a woman is even more difficult, and her tears have long been dried!
Xiao Qing stretched out his hand and covered Xiangling's hand, and Xiangling's whole body was shocked.
"Ling'er, don't be afraid, from now on you will no longer be alone, everything has me!"
Xiangling looked at Li Bing and finally rolled down her tears. There was once a person who said this to himself, but in the end, after his unreserved dedication, he understood. Only rely on yourself and love yourself. Now some people say this, it's ironic, they still have expectations. Maybe it's just that reality is too cruel, so it's an unrealistic fantasy.
Looking at Ling'er's expectant and disbelieving eyes, Xiao Qing finally understood what it meant to be protective. Put away the playfulness now. He picked up Xiangling, came to the table, and took out a silk bag from his arms.
"Ling'er, for you, take a look!"
Xiangling slowly unfolded, it turned out to be her deed of sale.
"Ling'er, you can go wherever you want, you can do whatever you want!
Xiangling was stunned and burst into tears. Xiao Qing stepped forward and wanted to give her an encouraging hug. Simple, feel sorry for her and support her hug.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he hit a wall. Xiao Qing was stopped and hugged before he could react, and a few ups and downs landed in a room not far from him, still entering through the window.
Xiao Qing took a while to come to his senses, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Mo Gongzi's black face. Neither of them spoke, Xiao Qing really couldn't stand the dullness, and said, "Brother Mo, you, what are you doing? I, I didn't do anything!" Even if he hugs it, what if he says that he doesn't like Ling'er, just like the so-called fair lady, a gentleman is easy to beg. Could it beβhe didn't have the right mouth?
"Uh! ββ, you like Ling'er?
"Brother Mo, I really think Ling'er is a friend, don't worry that I won't snatch love with a sword, and I can't take it if I want to! Do you want me to pull the red line for you?" Xiao Qing's expression was really wonderful, suddenly realized, suddenly depressed, and suddenly full of light.
Mo Gongzi looked at Xiao Qing and said that his face was even darker, and he forced Xiao Qing to retreat to the wall, wait a minute, isn't this the standard posture of Bidong?, but the words are-
"I warn you, don't meddle with things, I don't like Xiangling. It's you, have you forgotten who you are?" said and took another step forward, and his arm pressed Xiao Qing in the corner. Xiao Qing could smell the rosemary on his body when he was near. He looked at Xiao Qing like this, looking at Xiao Qing's eyes, Xiao Qing's face, Xiao Qing's neck, it seemed that he was about to bite it. is also a man, Xiao Qing is still a modern man, although he has never been in love, he also understands the meaning of Mo Gongzi's eyes, and Xiao Qing's eyes widened in shock.
"Wait, Brother Mo, you don't like men, do you? You pull me in, shouldn't you be afraid that I will go out of the wall? You don't like me, right? I'm a man, I can't like you, I like women!" Xiao Qing almost shouted.
