Chapter 379: Being deceived
Also, after trekking through mountains and rivers along the way, my stomach has long been hungry, and I can only rely on the dry cakes to satisfy my stomach these days, which is really sad, and it is better to have food at this time, Zhang Xu couldn't help but think in his heart.
Aunt Biluo looked Zhang Xu up and down, and didn't see where Zhang Xu's wound was, but felt that since she came to recuperate, she had to eat something to satisfy her stomach first.
This Aunt Biluo didn't have a lot to say, so she directly asked people to have some snacks, including winter melon rock sugar cake, silk bananas and the like.
Of course, these so-called names, but Zhang Xu can't call the names of these pastries, and they are added at will, to be honest, this pastry is not bad, sweet and moist, melts in the mouth, and has a faint fragrance.
lingering between his lips and teeth for a long time, people seem to forget the fatigue of the journey, the hardships along the way, but Lin Yuhan took a few pieces of pastry and put them on the tip of his nose.
Like a detective, I'm afraid that there is any poison in this pastry? The bamboo leaf green I met in the "Wunian Medical Codex" last time can be regarded as leaving a serious shadow on Lin Yuhan.
Zhang Xu smiled at this time, lowered his body, approached Lin Yuhan's ear, and said softly.
"It's poisonous, I've already eaten it, and it's the love poison you put it. ”
Hearing Zhang Xu say this, Lin Yuhan's whole face turned red all of a sudden, hmph, Lin Yuhan raised his right foot and stepped on Zhang Xu's left foot fiercely.
Zhang Xu almost didn't scream, but leaned into Lin Yuhan's ear again, and said softly, "It's okay, it's not poisonous, eat it with confidence." Lin Yuhan was still a little puzzled and looked around.
But at this time, even Shang Yunqi and Li Qiang, who are very cautious and cautious on weekdays, also ate with relish, and Yang Yangming felt as if he had also suffered a loss.
"Then what are you waiting for, eat!" Coming all the way, Yang Yangming was already hungry, Nangong Qi sat on the throne and ate the pastries with relish.
But while eating, Nangong Qi's tears were revealed, and at this time, Aunt Biluo had already walked out of the inner hall, and Zhang Xu looked at Nangong Qi suspiciously.
"Why are you crying? Could it be that we ate your stuff? Zhang Xu said jokingly.
Nangong Qi looked at Zhang Xu with a depressed face, "No, how can this princess be so stingy, it's just that my father died, and every time I go back home, when I eat this kind of thing, I feel very uncomfortable."
The pastry you eat now was my father's favorite food to make for me when I was a child, and it was my favorite food when I was a child. ”
When Nangong Qi finished saying this, Zhang Xu's face sank suddenly, and he couldn't imagine that this little girl's mind was so deep and had so many feelings.
On weekdays, I saw her twittering, giggling and looking heartless, it turned out to be just a delicate girl, Zhang Xu wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere suddenly became a lot duller.
What others didn't expect was that Nangong Qi's healing ability was also strong, and after a while, she cheered up again, touched her tears, and gulped down the pastries.
"Didn't you say you have the last piece of ancient jade here, hurry up and take it out, let's go to the ancient ruins. At this time, Li Qiang said straight to the point.
"I've never heard of any ancient ruins. Nangong Qi shook his head and continued to nibble on the snack in his hand.
Nangong Qi's words instantly shocked Zhang Xu and them, "What? Aren't the ancient ruins here?" Zhang Xu asked in disbelief.
"I haven't heard of it since I was a kid, and I certainly haven't. Nangong Qi said categorically.
"You haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean that others don't, by the way, Aunt Biluo should know, so let's trouble you again, if you call her over, maybe she will know." Zhang Xu said seriously.
Nangong Qi disagreed, "I grew up here, there is nothing wrong, I don't know, I have said nothing, why don't you believe it?" Nangong Qi said a little angrily.
"You have the last fragment of ancient jade here, how can there be no ancient ruins!"
Nangong Qi was also confused when asked, "What are you talking nonsense?" I never said that there are any ancient ruins here in our southern Xinjiang.
I'm just saying that we have ancient jade fragments here, yes, and those ancient jade fragments in your hands belong to our southern Xinjiang, hurry up, hand it over, by the way, otherwise I will be unkind to you. ”
Zhang Xu was a little confused for a moment, yes, Nangong Qi never said that there were ancient ruins near southern Xinjiang, but he just thought of it, and he knew that there was the last piece of ancient jade fragment here.
So I naturally thought that there were ancient ruins here, so it seemed that I was thinking too much, but since I came, it was good to get the last piece of ancient jade fragment, at least one step closer to finding the ancient ruins.
"Okay, maybe I misunderstood, since that's the case, then you can take us to see that ancient jade fragment you have here, see if it's exactly the same as mine here?"
But Nangong Qi seemed to be deliberately trying to hide something, and was busy saying, "Oh, just here, what's the hurry, you eat first, you're full, and then I'm asking Aunt Biluo to arrange accommodation for you."
You're also guests from afar, so I'm going to have to find a place for you to stay. Otherwise, you'll all have to live on the streets tonight, and the ancient jade fragments won't be able to escape anyway. ”
As Nangong Qi spoke, he changed from a dull atmosphere to a happy face.
Yang Yangming looked at this little girl, and suddenly treated everyone like this, and relaxed his vigilance, "Okay, listen to you, you are the host, you have to arrange our food and drink." ”
After speaking, Yang Yangming chewed down a piece of winter melon sorbet again, and finally Zhang Xu's residence and Li Qiang and his party were separated.
Zhang Xu and Lin Yuhan live in the east wing, Shang Yunqi and Li Qiang, and Yang Yangming live in the west wing built of bamboo, which is also very elegant.
However, the distance between them is relatively far, and it is a little inconvenient to meet each other, and I don't know why this Aunt Biluo wants to arrange a place to stay like this?
To tell the truth, this big guy was divided so far away, and it was not too late to take care of each other, but it was Nangong Qi, but he didn't sleep in his princess room, and he also slept in this east wing.
It was next door to Zhang Xu's room, and soon the night was late, and in the middle of the night, Zhang Xu was already lying on the bed, but he couldn't sleep late at night, and his two eyes were staring at the ceiling above.
What he was thinking about was Aunt Biluo, why did she seem so mysterious? For the death of this old village owner, Nangong Qi's father, what identity did this Aunt Biluo have in this territory of southern Xinjiang.
Judging from what I saw during the day, according to this observation here, it seems that there is a hostess in this village, and it is possible that this hostess is the so-called Aunt Biluo.
But Aunt Biluo and this Nangong Qi, the two of them are not like two mothers and daughters, thinking about it, Zhang Xu suddenly heard the sound of a knife cutting the ground outside the door.
Zhang Xu thought that he had heard it wrong, and listened carefully with his ears sideways, and sure enough, he heard it correctly, he hurriedly opened the window, only to find that there were several black-clothed people in Nangong Qi's room.
He felt that the motives of these black-clothed people were not pure, so he went with whom, these blacks climbed through the window and entered Nangong Qi's room, and for safety, he did not wake up Lin Yuhan.
It's just that he was alone, and he followed this man in black into Nangong Qi's room, and it was unlucky, the pill that the white-robed master gave him, now that the effect of the medicine has passed, it is a little difficult to do it.
Zhang Xu only felt that the strength of the whole person could not be used, and when he climbed a window just now, he almost didn't step on it, and he had reached this realm, Zhang Xu mocked himself.
couldn't even climb through a window, Zhang Xu followed the man in black to the place where Nangong Qi slept, and sure enough, these men in black were holding knives, and it seemed that they wanted to murder Nangong Qi.
Nangong Qi fell asleep on the bed at this time, although there was also a candle lit next to him, but he didn't know whether Nangong Qi in the mosquito net was asleep or awake.
Zhang Xu really hoped that Nangong Qi would wake up quickly, after all, someone was going to kill her at this time, but he was powerless at such a critical moment.
If you fight these two blacks head-on, you will definitely not be able to beat them, which makes Zhang Xu anxious all of a sudden, and Zhang Xu finally had no choice but to pick up a wooden pear blossom bench and smash it towards the two black-clothed people.
This shock, Nangong Qi in the tent, but there was still no movement, Zhang Xu broke out in a cold sweat at this time, what's the matter? Haven't you heard such a big movement from this girl?
The two black men quickly turned their heads back, and looked at Zhang Xu with four eyes, Zhang Xu is in big trouble now, Li Qiang and they are not here
Only Lin Yuhan is left to confirm here, Lin Yuhan has no martial arts, besides, she was asleep just now, and I don't know if she heard the sound of the wooden stool hitting the ground.
The two men in black clenched the blade and walked towards Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu saw that the timing was not good, and wanted to wake up Nangong Qi to run together, but found that the two men in black had approached him.
It can be said that if you don't make a decision, you won't be able to leave if you walk outside the window, the knife skills of these two black-clothed people must be good, maybe this knife will be chopped down, and Zhang Xu will hang here.
Zhang Xu didn't have time to think about it, he jumped over the window and jumped down, unfortunately, he was hung by a wooden hook in the window, it was really fucking unlucky, and he was planted on it at such a critical moment.
Zhang Xu pulled his clothes hard, but found that he couldn't pull them off, the two men in black didn't think much about it, and directly raised the machete against Zhang Xu's head!
Bang.
The heads of the two black-clothed men fell directly, and Nangong Qi also came out from the side, at this time, Nangong Qi hid the small sharp knife on his waist and grabbed Zhang Xu.
With a hard pull, Zhang Xu's clothes were directly separated from the small wooden ditch on the window.
"Holy, it's exciting. Zhang Xu sighed, "It turns out that you are not safe here, I didn't expect that someone would murder you here." Zhang Xu said with a sigh.
Nangong Qi was confused, "I don't know who these two people are, and they dare to commit murder here." After speaking, Nangong Qi squatted down and directly tore off the masks of the two black-clothed people.
But they found that their faces were not from this village, Nangong Qi had to stay in southern Xinjiang for many years, so he naturally knew what this southern Xinjiang person looked like, and it was obvious that these two people were not from southern Xinjiang at all.
"Could it be Tianmu?" This suddenly attracted Nangong Qi's attention, and when Zhang Xu heard this name, he couldn't help but be a little curious, "What is this?"
At this moment, the guards outside heard the sound of a fight and rushed in, just at this time Nangong Qi had already dealt with the two men in black.
The guard asked worriedly, "Is Her Royal Highness the princess safe?" Nangong Qi said magnificently, "It's okay, I've already settled it, a few of you will carry these two black guys out and cremate them." ”
After saying that, Nangong Qi pulled Zhang Xu and returned to his residence, and the two of them sat in Nangong Qi's boudoir like this, their eyes looking at each other, and they didn't say a word for a long time.
