Chapter 234: Discerning People
Lu Hong asked Qin Nuan again: "Sister Qin, is that Qixia Hou as white and white as rumored, like an immortal in the world?"
With such a curious expression, he had the appearance of a child
It's just that Qin Nuan hesitated, not knowing how to answer, the "Sword God" she saw was so young that she didn't even have a beard......
Qin Nuan asked, "Who did you listen to?"
Lu Hong blinked his eyes and said, "I heard from my grandfather, my grandfather heard from a friend of his, that old gentleman went to Red Leaf Villa as a guest!"
Qin Nuan thought for a while and said, "The Qi Xiahou I've seen is very young......
Lu Hong was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that Lao Qixia has passed away? We haven't heard of it in Jinling? There have been no funerals in Hongye Villa over the years, and no one has received an obituary!"
Qin Nuan suddenly became novel, it seems that although Red Leaf Villa is out of the world, it is not that it does not deal with outsiders, but there are relatively few people who can deal with them. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Lu Hong thought about it for a while, and then had a reasonable explanation: "Probably because Lao Qixia is old and doesn't want to take care of things anymore, so he retreats and practices and passes the title to the young marquis." This young marquis's parents heard that they died more than ten years ago, and they were raised by the old marquis!"
This little brother Lu Hong really knows a lot!
However, Qin Nuan was a little slanderous about his reason: Qi Xiahou of Red Leaf Villa no matter whether he is "old" or not, it doesn't matter whether things are good or not!
Although Qin Nuan knew that Li Yi or Ding Yin must know a lot about Red Leaf Villa, she also knew that for these two people, Red Leaf Villa was a thorn in the heart that they didn't want to mention, so she didn't dare to risk such a big disapproval and inquire about Red Leaf Villa, but she didn't want to get a little information from Lu Hong's junior brother.
At this time, Ah Li came over and asked, "Big lady, can I go out to find out the situation?"
Qin Nuan remembered what Xuan Jing said, and was a little embarrassed, and said: "I'm afraid it won't work! I'm afraid that there is a formation in the woods in this mountain, you can't go out, and if you go out, you may not be able to walk back, unless you go to the people from the Red Leaf Mountain Villa to lead the way!"
Looking for someone to lead the way?
Ah Li scratched his head and said: "There is an old Taoist here, and a young Taoist is a mute, and there are two courtyards before and after, and there is a small vegetable field behind our courtyard, and there is nothing!"
Feelings: This kid has already probed this before and after!
It's really a very high level of professionalism.
Qin Nuan thought for a while, turned around and went back to the room to take out the "clairvoyance" that Ah Li had returned to her earlier, handed it to him, and said, "Why don't you take a look next to this courtyard, which tree is high, climb to the tree first and use this to see the movement on our Zhuangzi over there?"
Although it is not yet up to the mountainside, it is already higher than the terrain where their previous Zhuangzi was located, and the distance between them will never exceed four or five miles in a straight line, and it is completely within the observation range of the telescope.
Ah Li took the "clairvoyance" and immediately ran to the back of the yard, found a tall maple tree, and climbed to the treetop after a few rubs, seeing Qin Nuan's heart frightened, he couldn't help shouting: "Be careful!"
Lu Hong was very interested in the "cylinder" in Ah Li's hand, and he asked, "Sister Qin, what is that? Can you see the movement so far away?"
This one?
Qin Nuan hesitated, because this "clairvoyant" had been listed as an important military secret by Li Yi and could not be disclosed to outsiders.
The monocular telescope in her hand was the same as when she showed the drawings of the binoculars to the old craftsman before, and saw that there happened to be another finished one, so she took it into her hand.
The result of this "hand-in-hand" is that after making more delicate and practical binoculars, Li Yi resolutely refused to give her the inventor!
Yang Yun came to Jinling on a mission, and Li Yi gave him a delicate binocular, but the telescope in Yang Yun's hand must be returned to Li Yi when he returns to Yangzhou after the task is completed.
Lu Hong saw that she was embarrassed, and said very reasonably: "If it is inconvenient for my sister to say, I will not ask Ah Hong!"
What an empathetic and well-behaved boy!
Qin Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said apologetically: "I really can't say this!"
Lu Hong said: "It's Ah Hong who is abrupt!"
He did this, which made Qin Nuan more and more embarrassed, and explained: "This is not so powerful, although we ran a long way before, and walked up the mountain for half a day, it was because we walked on a tortuous mountain road. But the straight-line distance from this hillside to our Zhuangzi is not very far, so you can probably still see the situation!"
Lu Hong nodded, indicating that he understood.
Ah Li was lying on the treetops, holding the "clairvoyant" in one hand and looking at his own Zhuangzi in the south, looking very attentively, and the two people under the tree looked at him with a blank look.
Ah Li watched for about a cup of tea before climbing down the tree again.
"How?" As soon as Ah Li's feet landed, Qin Nuan asked anxiously.
"The fire in our Zhuangzi is very large, and it is estimated that there will be nothing left! The corpses of the more than ten people in this group who chased us were probably thrown back into the fire in our Zhuangzi by the people of Qixia Mountain. The two teams of thieves chasing Aunt Zhang'er and Uncle Wang, when we were just watching, also returned one after another, and it seems that they have not caught anyone. The total number of people who came today was only about 40, less than 50. β
Qin Nuan was immediately relieved.
Ah Li added: " These soldiers who came today, when they rushed out of the back door, I had just gone into the forest to hide, and then when I went through the forest to chase you, in fact, I was quite close to them, I felt that they were not from Jinling City, probably the guards of Qixia County near here, it didn't look good, they probably didn't know who we were, just shouted and said that they wanted to catch Yangzhou spies, and some people said that Yangzhou people are very rich, and when they caught up with them, they quickly went back to Zhuangzi to search, don't cheap those few people who stayed in Zhuangzi to search for in vainβ¦β¦β
It's good that it's not from Jinling City, and it proves that Shuxue didn't send out any useful information.
Now I just don't know how that girl revealed the news, what news was revealed.
Ah Li said and returned the "clairvoyance" in his hand to Qin Nuan, he knew that this magical thing was expensive, and every time he used it, he would return it to Qin Nuan immediately, and he would take it again when he wanted to use it the next day, which was extremely strict and measured.
Ah Li said: "If you want to know what is going on, I still have to go down the mountain to explore, and I can probably figure it out!"
Qin Nuan frowned and said, "This is too dangerous! Even if that house burns down, they will definitely let people look at it, after all, it is not a trivial matter that so many soldiers have died, and they will definitely be strictly investigated!"
Ah Li said: "It's okay! They won't pay attention to my half-grown son! Besides, I'm a local, with a local accent, and if I make my body and face a little sloppy, who would think what I'm doing!"
Qin Nuan nodded, "Okay, I'll send a message to Miss Xuanjing tomorrow and see if I can ask her to take you down the mountain!"
Ah Li smiled: "Thank you, lady!"
Qin Nuan suddenly blushed and said embarrassedly: "Speaking of which, we should thank you, this has always been you busy before and after, we are all taken care of by you!"
Ah Li immediately said: "This is originally the responsibility of the villain!
Qin Nuan couldn't help but sigh: "I really don't know, how did Uncle Yang find such a capable, powerful and good kid as you!"
Ah Li's face suddenly turned red: "Lady, don't say that! I followed Uncle Yang when I was six years old, if it weren't for Uncle Yang, I would have frozen to death and starved to death!"
As he spoke, he didn't seem to know where to put his hands, rubbing them on the hem of his clothes.
Lu Hong was also very grateful to him because when his sister couldn't run before, he was still running on his back, and also praised: "There are really many loyal, righteous and filial heroes among the reckless!"
Although Ah Li didn't read much, he also knew that the four words "loyalty, filial piety, righteousness and bravery" were extremely high evaluations, so he couldn't help but blush, and took a step back.
Qin Nuan couldn't help but sigh again in his heart: What a simple-hearted child! And extremely smart, bold and careful, thoughtful and thoughtful, Yang Li's old fox really has a pair of discerning eyes.
Just like Yang Li said to Qin Nuan before, "I hope you don't regret it", now Qin Nuan really regrets that he shouldn't have softened his heart at that time and saved Shuxue, so that such a big thing happened.
