Chapter 9: Pursuit and Knocking
"I didn't find Liu Wenlu. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Jin Yuan glanced at the contemplative Li Chu and made up a bad news, "Those few who were arrested are parading the streets outside at the moment. ”
No matter what the purpose, the majesty of the Son of Heaven can be regarded as barely pulling back a point, and what happened before will also lead the people to speculate on the rebels of Southern Chu, and when the people's hearts are settled, he will not be restless.
"Prepare the horses and go to the Little Barren Ridge." Although Li Jingyao's surveillance of him had not been withdrawn, Li Chu did not even hesitate at all.
Jin Yuan went for a long time and didn't come back, Li Chu faintly felt that something was wrong, went out of the door to stop Ling'er and asked, and heard her say that Jin Yuan hurriedly went out alone.
If it weren't for the special circumstances, Jin Yuan would never be like this, Li Chu asked a few more words, only to know that Feng Jiu was out of the mansion almost at the same time as Jin Yuan, so Jin Yuan was very likely to follow Feng Jiu.
Feng Jiu went out at this time, but he was afraid that he was going to see the people of the Zhu family, Liu Wenlu was neither in the palace nor in Xiaohuangling, and there was only one possibility for him to hide for no reason.
He and the people of the Zhu family must have made a move, and it is very likely that it is today, otherwise those old departments will never have the reason to venture into the city!
This idea really made Li Chu feel distressed, and now that the old department has been arrested, I wonder if Liu Wenlu and the people of the Zhu family will change their plans, or will they make a desperate bet?
The situation was urgent, and there was no time to think too much, so Li Chu made a quick decision and assigned Zishan to personally lead the cannibal gang to cause chaos in various parts of the city, which was bound to attract the attention of the forbidden army in the city in the shortest possible time.
"The bigger the movement, the better, don't go to remote areas with few troops, but in the places where the Imperial Forest Army, Ji Zhongjun and Northern Sichuan Prefecture Army are most active." Li Chu pinched his index finger with his fingernails, and his tone was slightly guilty, "This kind of behavior of going deep into the tiger pond and plucking the feathers on the tiger's head is really dangerous, and it is very likely to get into the entire cannibal gang ......"
Zishan didn't know if he didn't care or was arrogant, shook his feet and shook his head: "If there is a person in the cannibal gang who is caught up today, I will have your surname in the future." ”
"Second ......" Second Uncle Lichu only said one word and hurriedly stopped it, and said with a sideways gaze, "No matter what, you must retreat with your whole body." ”
Zishan shook his head and didn't know whether to shake his head or nod, and raised his hand with a weird smile: "Let's go." ”
During this time, the Zhu family's hiding place has been changing, and in the end, even the cannibal gang can't determine its true location, Li Chu thought about it, and planned to start with Chen Zizhu.
asked Zhuting to invite Chen Zizhu and Feng Jiu to come to the room to eat plum blossom soup, Chen Zizhu not only did not come, but also concealed the fact that she was not in the house for Feng Jiu, and Li Chu only personally brought plum blossom soup to knock on her door.
"Zhu Ting, I said it, my cousin and I were talking in the room, and I don't want to eat any plum blossom soup yet." Chen Zizhu didn't open the door, but just shouted through the Zhu Gate.
Li Chu continued to knock on the door, the sound of knocking on the door was long and short, and finally annoyed Chen Zizhu, she opened the door suddenly, and said with an annoyed face: "Do you think I am a ......bully?"
"Miss Zizhu, I'm here to bring you plum blossom soup." Li Chu met her stunned expression and raised the food box in his hand.
A trace of panic flashed across Chen Zizhu's face, but his movements were neat and beautiful, and he grabbed the door and slammed it shut: "I'm not feeling well, I don't want to eat." ”
"What about Feng Jiu? She's also not feeling well? ”
There was a silence inside, and soon a response came, "She's too tired, she fell asleep on the bed, let's eat later." ”
Li Chu stared at the food box and said: "It's too late, I'm afraid that it won't be this plum blossom soup but a broken head meal when the time comes." ”
"What do you mean?" Chen Zizhu's nervous voice almost came from the door, and Li Chu smiled when he heard it, "Open the door, I know Feng Jiu is not inside." ”
The door really opened, Chen Zizhu had no expression on his face, the pestle didn't say a word by the door, Li Chu raised his feet and entered the door, and at the same time as the sound of the door closing behind him, Chen Zizhu's words were also lost.
"What do you mean? Since the matter is really urgent, then what are you pretending to do with plum blossom soup? "Chen Zizhu looks at people who are not good at words on weekdays, but in fact, he is very flexible in his heart, and he is much more flexible than Feng Jiu, who has a tendon.
Li Chu didn't answer, but looked at her very seriously, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think of what Feng Jiu and Liu Wenlu did?" ”
Chen Zizhu's eyes didn't squint, she just fiddled with the teacup on the table, and interestingly pointed all the faces with calligraphy and paintings at herself.
The side left for Li Chu was naturally blank, Li Chu glanced at the teacup, and asked, "Did Liu Wenlu tell you not to get involved in these things?" ”
Chen Zizhu finally raised his eyes and glanced at Lichu, grasped the key point and said, "You just talk about your urgent matter, why do you ask so much?" I can't answer you either. ”
"Okay." Li Chu made a speechless look and said straight to the point, "Do you know where Feng Jiu went?" ”
"Yes."
To Lichu's surprise, Chen Zizhu nodded sincerely, but the mist in her eyes also directly indicated her attitude, I do know, but I can't tell you.
Li Chu dipped the tea with great interest and wrote the word "Zhu", and asked again with her staring gaze, "Did Feng Jiu tell you about the Zhu family?" ”
"No, neither of them ever told me anything." Chen Zizhu shook his head, seeing that Li Chu threw a hint of surprise, and said, "Many things are also deliberated by me, and they are not worth asking you about." ”
"How are you going to say your scrums?" Li Chu asked tentatively, seeing a trace of ridicule floating on her face, her heart was overjoyed, and her fingertips tapped on the word "Zhu" that had not been dried, and said word by word, "What if it is related to the lives of Liu Wenlu and Feng Jiu?" ”
Seeing her eyes jump, Li Chu chased after her again: "And the entire Nine Princes' Mansion, isn't it worth it?" ”
Chen Zizhu was a little uneasy, the fingers rubbing the teacup turned faster and faster, a slippery hand, the teacup almost fell off the ground, and the already pale face became pale in an instant.
There is no doubt that although she ignores Feng Jiu and Liu Wenlu's behavior, she still cares a little bit, and faintly feels that they will always make a big mistake if they are eager to do everything.
"They're going to do it today, aren't they?" Li Chu asked one last question.
Chen Zizhu's stiff back collapsed suddenly, his hands were propped up on the table for a little support, and he lowered his eyes and said: "It's the west of the city, it's either the Nanxiang Xiaolongbao shop or the Jinqiao Teahouse." ”
"How did you deduce?" Li Chu narrowed his eyes and asked.
"It's crab roe buns, so many restaurants in the city make crab roe buns, but only Nanxiang and Jinqiao restaurants make the most orthodox, and the fragrance of crab roe can be smelled as long as you smell it." Chen Zizhu shrugged her nose, as if she was reminiscing about the fragrance, "My cousin has brought that crab roe fragrance with her when she comes back from outside these days, and coincidentally, I have also smelled it on Brother Wen Lu." ”
Li Chu understood that Chen Zizhu would not say more, which was her limit, but she still couldn't help but want to get more information, and asked, "I only smelled it in the last few days, did you usually smell it?" ”
"Nope." Chen Zizhu frowned slightly, obviously sensing Li Chu's greed, so he replied stiffly.
