Chapter 214: Something Isn't Right
After the banquet, the cups and plates were in disarray. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qiu Jiang, who had been drunk for a long time, was taken to rest by the maid with the support of Mrs. Qiu.
Shang and Dao, Chu Xijun, and Mr. Donglin also have their own residences.
Although Lu Mingshu came temporarily, how could Mei Niang, who strives to be "at home", let her settle? As early as during the banquet, the guest house was cleaned up to accommodate her.
The maid was sent to the guest house to retreat, and Lu Mingshu searched inch by inch, but found no abnormality, so he called Ah Lang.
"Have you heard of these people?"
Ah Lang said: "That Mr. Shang is quite famous, and I have heard the guests say it a few times. Lang Xuan Ge had also heard of it, but he didn't know about this Chu girl. Of course, the Qiu family knows that his family is a big merchant in Zhongzhou and Beiming, and merchant ships come and go to the Minghe River all year round. That Mr. Donglin, I haven't heard of it. ”
Lu Mingshu nodded. With Ah Lang's circle, the Qiu family must be like thunder, and Mr. Donglin is not in his circle of life at all.
"In this way, the identity of these people should be fine......"
Ah Lang wanted to speak and stopped.
"How?" Lu Mingshu found out.
Ah Lang said: "Girl, I always feel that something is wrong with this jade son. ”
Yu Gongzi is the name of Bai Yunyu by Shang and Dao and others. According to the surname, it should be called Bai Gongzi, and Yu Gongzi is more like a specific title. It's like, no one calls Xie Lianzhen Xie Gongzi, anyone with the surname Xie can be called Xie Gongzi, but there is only one Lianzhen Gongzi.
"What's wrong?"
"It's quite wrong for him to build a village on the Ming River." Ah Lang said, "Those of us who mingle on the Minghe River know that life on the Minghe River is not good all the year round, the fog of the Minghe River, and the strong winds that blow twice a year, which are very damaging to people. He wants to recuperate, why did he still run to the Ming River? ”
Lu Mingshu nodded. What Ah Lang said, she believed, and the master also wrote in his notebook that Minghe is not a place to live in peace. If it weren't for the danger of the Minghe River, few people would come, and those murderers who had nowhere to stay would not have fled to the Minghe River to become water bandits.
Then, Bai Yunyu's words are likely to be false. If he didn't come here to recuperate, what was the purpose of building a village in Minghe? Shang and Dao are all well-known figures, if Bai Yunyu's identity is not reliable, how can they risk coming to Minghe? ”
"Girl," Ah Lang said, "I think they may not be voluntary, that Chu girl, who looks a little reluctant, always feels very evasive when she looks at the eyes of the young master of Yu." ”
Lu Mingshu remembered Chu Xijun's low voice, at that time she thought that Chu Xijun was surprised by Bai Yunyu's complexion, but now that she thinks about it, there may be another reason.
"Ah Lang, I need your favor."
"Girl, please." Ah Lang patted his chest. They are now living on Lingxin Island together, and helping Lu Mingshu is helping themselves.
Lu Mingshu took a piece of paper and drew a few simple strokes, and the general shape of the island emerged.
"Look at this." She pointed to a few places, "You go around these places, take note of the terrain around them, and come back and tell me - you must remember them clearly." ”
Ah Lang silently remembered in his heart for a while, and nodded: "Okay." ”
It didn't take long for Ah Lang to return.
"Girl, I've only been to two places," he said with a bitter face, "and those people won't let me out." ”
Lu Mingshu nodded, not surprised: "Then talk about the two places you have been." ”
Ah Lang said, and Lu Mingshu painted.
"Isn't that so?"
"Yes, yes, girl, you draw so well!" Ah Lang looked at the painting on the paper and felt that it was amazing, it was just a simple ink pen, how could it look like the real thing?
Lu Mingshu smiled and tore the painting apart. This is a sketch, in order to simulate the terrain, she deliberately learned, not proficient, just enough.
Add the data that Ah Lang brought back, and the secret of this island can faintly see an outline.
This is definitely artificial, natural formation, and there is no such thing as a link.
Then, Bai Yunyu's identity is even more intriguing.
"Girl, I inquired with those people about the identity of the jade prince."
"Oh?"
Ah Lang looked outside and whispered, "They don't say it." However, during a chat with a gatekeeper, he said that he hadn't left the island for three years. ”
Haven't left the island for three years? Does this village take at least three years to build?
"You mess with them more." Lu Mingshu took the money bag and came out, "I don't need to say how to do it, right?" ”
Ah Lang patted his chest: "Don't worry, girl, I understand!" ”
He has been mixing on the Ming River since he was a child, who has never seen him? Dealing with people and talking to people is trivial!
In the evening, Bai Yunyu set up another banquet.
A dinner party is much simpler than a luncheon and is mostly small talk. Bai Yunyu led the topic and kept spinning around in cultivation, sounding like she was really a person who focused on cultivation.
And Mei Niang has been talking next to several female guests.
If it weren't for the other party's unclear purpose, life on Lingxin Island would be comfortable and leisurely. The villa is built in a chic and small way, the island scenery is good, and the hospitality is also very attentive.
On the third day, Lu Mingshu offered to say goodbye, but was blocked back by Bai Yunyu.
He said: "A few distinguished guests haven't left, how can Miss Lu leave first?" If they don't greet them well, they will be punished when they turn around! ”
When he went back in the evening, Chu Xijun said, "Miss Lu is in such a hurry, is there something important?" ”
"No, it's just that it's boring to stay in one place for a long time."
"I think it's boring too!" Chu Xijun sighed, "Langxuan Pavilion's business, I can't leave a single step, it's been a few days now......"
Lu Mingshu looked up at her, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
Chu Xijun didn't seem to see anything, and said with a smile: "It's not early, the girl rests early, and the concubine goes back first." ”
"Walk slowly." Lu Mingshu seemed to see something in her eyes.
In the middle of the night, there was a soft sound outside.
Lu Mingshu opened his eyes and carefully opened the door.
A man eagerly squeezed in, bringing in a scent of incense.
"Miss Lu?" The suppressed voice belonged to Chu Xijun.
This scene is somewhat strange. If it weren't for Miss Lu but Gongzi Lu, Chu Xijun's behavior would probably be called a night attack, right?
It's a pity that Lu Mingshu didn't have the mood to joke, his fingers flicked, and something spread around the room, and then said: "Miss Chu, please say something, it's safe here." ”
"Really?" Chu Xijun looked around with some relief, still holding his voice down, "I heard that you have a good relationship with the Zhongzhou royal family, aren't you?" Can you ask them for help? ”
Lu Mingshu narrowed his eyes: "What does Miss Chu mean by this?" Help? Are we just here to be guests, do we need help? ”
Chu Xijun pursed his lips: "If you don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, why do you pretend to be in front of us?" I don't believe it, you didn't notice something wrong with this island. ”
"Really? What's wrong? (To be continued.) )
