Chapter 024: Distinguishing Incense (5)
Han Li's indifferent face carried a little bit of mockery: "Mr. An is curious, but he doesn't dare to open it to take a look?"
An Lan was silent for a while, as if she was really considering the question, and after a moment, she bowed slightly towards Lan Indigo.
Lan Indigo first took a closer look at the box in her hand, and then rested on the table next to her, she wasn't sure if there was a trap hidden in the box, whether it would shoot out hidden weapons or poisonous gases as soon as it was opened, so when she opened it, she was ready how to avoid and fight back.
However, after the box was opened, nothing dangerous happened. There was no mechanism for a hidden weapon in the box, and no poisonous gas was spewed, and a silkworm chrysalis was placed in the box.
If you look closely, it is not a silkworm chrysalis, but a similar shape.
It was a worm butterfly that curled itself up with its wings, the wings wrapped together were faintly powdered, and there were strange lines on the wings, at first glance, it didn't seem to be very eye-catching, but if you look at it twice, it will make people feel that this thing is both beautiful and weird.
Lan Indigo moved the box and saw the "silkworm chrysalis" rolling on both sides, but there was no movement.
She presented the box to An Lan, who looked at it for a while and said in a low voice, "It's already a butterfly." Then she raised her eyes and looked at Han Li, "This is the fragrant butterfly you raised?"
Han Li pursed his lips and did not make a sound.
An Lan stretched out her hand towards the box, but stopped when her finger was about to touch the "silkworm chrysalis", her finger fell on the lid of the box, and said lightly: "The southern Xinjiang fragrant butterfly has always been raised by a special person, and it takes all the efforts of the breeder to ensure that they reproduce smoothly, and such an errand will not fall on an assassin no matter what." β
Han Li still didn't say anything, but his brows moved slightly, his identity as an assassin was a secret, and even Qiao'er and Ju guards didn't know about it. But the woman in front of her, who looked weak, hit the nail on the head with every sentence. If his identity is revealed, Chang'an City at the feet of the Son of Heaven will definitely not be able to tolerate him.
An Lan continued: "Cold Blade is the real guard, why did the county lord let you take his place?"
Han Blade is Han Li's brother, the two brothers were selected to enter the Zhennan Royal Mansion since they were young, and when they grew up, one became a guard next to the county lord, and the other was also a guard in the palace, but their real identity was an assassin.
Finally, Han Li spoke: "Since Mr. An knows my identity, he should know that with normal methods, he can't ask anything from my mouth, so why bother talking in vain, what do you want to know, isn't it simpler and more convenient to use the means that the Great Incense Master is best at." β
An Lan said: "You are talking about the fragrance realm, and you are tempting you to say a qiΔ." β
Han Li closed his mouth again, his expression a little indifferent.
An Lan looked at him and said, "Did you arrange today's event on purpose?" Or did you just push the boat along the water?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he paused before asking, "I don't understand what Mr. An means by this." β
A cool smile suddenly appeared on An Lan's lips: "Do you think that I only relied on the ability of God to give this fragrance realm, so I sat in the position of the Great Incense Master?"
Han Li's heart suddenly had a bad premonition.
"That day, you know that I have been to Liyuan, but it's a pity that ......" An Lan said and glanced at the "silkworm chrysalis" in the box, paused slightly, and then continued, "It's a pity that you didn't catch me......? Didn't catch my fragrance?"
Han Li couldn't help frowning
An Lan raised her eyes and looked at him: "You, or the person behind you, know that I will definitely come again, almost all of you went to the main hall of the front yard today, how could I not take this opportunity to come to Liyuan to have a look again." That's why you deliberately let the incense envoy wound you, and spread the maid who came to see you, and wait for me here alone. β
Han Li suddenly sighed: "What are you doing when I wait for Mr. An?" I don't know Mr. An, and I have no grievances for the holidays. β
An Lan nodded: "That's right, this is what I didn't understand at first, so after thinking about it, it seems that only Xiangjing can explain this, and just now it seems to confirm that my idea is not wrong." β
I don't understand what Mr. An means. β
"You've been tempting me to be incense, trying to kill me from the very beginning of the meeting, to deliberately not answering my question just now, but prompting me to find an easier way to find the answer. An Lan said, covered the box, and took it, "Someone has made incense beside the Lord of Yuyao, but none of you know who it is. β
Han Li frowned, and said after a long time: "It really deserves to be a great incense master." β
This is a compliment, but An Lan did not have a trace of smugness on her face, she held the box in her hand, and her expression was indifferent: "You and Mama Hua both want to find that person, but you and Mama Hua don't seem to have the same purpose." β
Han Li couldn't help but ask, "How is it different?"
An Lan looked at him and said, "You all want to prove that the county lord of Yuyao was killed by Xiangjing, Mama Hua should be sure of this, all she wants is evidence, and you also want this evidence, but did the county lord of Yuyao really die in Xiangjing?"
Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly: "Otherwise, how does Mr. An think the county lord died?"
An Lan didn't answer his question again, and after a moment of silence, she gestured to the box in her hand: "Lend me this thing." β
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, and Han Li was busy chasing out, but was stopped by Lan Indigo. And before he was knocked unconscious by Lan Indigo, he heard the woman's cold voice coming from a distance: "I have no grudge against you, if you figure it out, you can come to me." β
β¦β¦
Here in the main hall, Chuan Wu and Chuan Lian fed the second jade powder to their own fragrant butterflies at the same time.
Jing Zhong stared at the two blood-colored butterflies, watching the red and bright wings flapping gently, only to see that every time the wings flapped, his heart was lifted, and little by little he was raised to the top of the age.
After a while, the two fragrant butterflies didn't seem to see anything unusual, and someone whispered, "What's going on? Could it be that the three jade seals are all from the same original stone?"
"If that's the case, why didn't the fragrant butterfly who just ate the second jade powder stay on any jade seal?!"
"In my opinion, what kind of fragrance butterflies distinguish incense, it is a false rumor......"
It's just that before this person finished speaking, he saw that the two fragrant butterflies that stopped in the hands of Chuan Wu and Chuan Lian suddenly exploded directly with a bang and turned into a cloud of blood mist!
This change came too quickly, just for a moment, people didn't have time to react at all, and everyone was taken aback.
"This, this isβ"
"Dead?"
"Why is this all of a sudden?"
Chuan Lian took out the handkerchief and wiped his hands lightly and carefully, Chuan Gu looked at the blood stains on their hands, sighed with some regret, and then said: "The answer must have been understood by you, the first jade seal and the third jade seal are the same source." β
Everyone didn't seem to have come back to their senses, and for a while, no one spoke.
Only then did Mama Hua speak: "Second Master Jing, you can tear off the mark on the jade seal and see who these two jade seals of the same origin belong to." β
