Chapter 11: Shut up if you want to live
"Brother Miao, I still can't find Miss, what should I do, seeing that the sky is getting dark, I'm really worried about Miss's safety. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Ziyi stood on the street where the crowd was slightly sparse, anxiously looking for Xiao Nianni.
Miao Qing looked at the sky, and she was really nervous. Moreover, recently, there are often assassins in Tho who sneak in, and the young lady, as the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, should be included in the list of Tho country's kidnapping and hunting.
"That's it. You go back to the house to find Yuan Yin first, don't let others know about Miss's disappearance, I will stay here and continue to look for Miss. ”
"Okay." Then Ziyi left in a hurry, and Miao Qing continued to look for Nianni on the street.
Nian Ni on the other side was completely unaware of the anxiety in Ziyi and Miao Qing's hearts, and was only immersed in the fun of archaeology. The receipt was quite rich, and after talking with the shopkeeper, the time for the two teas passed quietly. She hid the cloth, respectfully thanked the store manager and said goodbye, and when she walked out of the store, she found a building in the corner on her right. This building is gorgeously decorated, the eaves of the dragon's tail are proudly warped to the sky, the lights are brilliant, and the people who come in and out are all dressed luxuriously, and the manners are polite. Nieni didn't know what kind of magical place it was, so she went back and asked the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, may I ask what building is on the right-hand side?" So magnificent. ”
The shopkeeper walked to the door and looked at the beautiful building from a distance, like a place that he couldn't reach no matter how hard he worked in his life.
"This is Jiuhong Building, the best restaurant in Xucheng, including ten wine rooms, thirty guest rooms, and the reception of people from the princes and nobles, down to the wealth of thousands of merchants. Hey, ordinary people like us won't be able to see it inside for the rest of our lives. The shopkeeper sighed and turned back, looking thoughtfully at the building.
I don't know why, she just wanted to go in and have a look, and she always felt that there was something new inside.
Walking to the door of Jiuhong Building, Nian Ni straightened her clothes and walked in with a look and momentum.
When the welcoming housekeeper of Jiuhong Building saw this plain-clothed woman, he immediately stopped, "Girl, this is not a place to beg, so we will not accept it." ”
I've never been looked down upon like this, "How do you speak, I'm a ...... anyway" Nianni thought for a while, unable to reveal her identity, "I really like the decoration of your house, so I want to come in and take a look, can't I?" ”
The housekeeper looked at the woman with a rustic atmosphere in front of him sneeringly, and continued to send people, "Girl, this is not a place for sightseeing, you better leave quickly, if you don't leave, I can call someone." ”
"Hmph, you won't let me in, I want to go in." Originally, I didn't think it was anything, but being so provoked by the housekeeper, Nianni wanted to go in and have a look. Just like when Professor Zhang died and didn't let her go to the grave, the more she wanted to go to the grave.
"Steward Zhang! The Marquis of Qin Ru is coming! A small servant behind him shouted to Steward Zhang to greet the guests. Steward Zhang turned around irritably, "Got it!" When he was about to ask someone to drive Nianni away, he turned around and found that there was no one around, so he slapped his thigh angrily, "Eh! ”
Nian Ni walked through a corridor and walked to the back hall, which was elegant and quiet, and it should be the guest room. Although it is only a folk restaurant, it is full of strange flowers and flowers, there are birds on the branches, and the flowers dance with the butterflies, which does not lose the back garden of the prime minister's mansion. Nian Ni is fascinated by this, strolling in the bushes.
.

"I heard that the palace of the Pakistani court was stolen a few days ago."
In a guest room in Jiuhong Building, the backs of several men could be vaguely seen through the crack in the door.
"The subordinates think that it was done by the secret agents of the Tho Kingdom."
"There will be something unclear in the end, Tho has always been friendly with Pakistan, why did he come here?"
By this time, Nian Ni had already wandered around this guest room, which was at the end of the house, and next to the door was a dead wall, and a painting hung on the wall. Looking like a dragon and a tiger from a distance, Nianni's curiosity suddenly ignited, so she took a closer look.
Isn't gold worth anything here? Such a painting inlaid with gold leaf was placed at the end of the inconspicuous cloister! After crossing here, Nianni's values are in chaos. No matter how valuable it is, the picture of this painting is really amazing, so I took out the juan silk in my sleeve and began to copy it. Although a faint sound came from the door next to him from time to time, Nian Ni didn't pay attention to it, and just concentrated on copying it by herself.
When drawing to a certain detail, Nian Ni fell into thought, and subconsciously tapped the painting twice with a pen.
"Whew. For. ”
Hearing a sound outside the door, the people in the room immediately became vigilant, and the person closest to the door took the lead in pushing the door straight out.
Nian Ni was startled by the sudden opening of the door next to her, and even more frightened, a person wearing a copper mask jumped out immediately after, and the mask covered her upper lip. Before Nian Ni could scream in fright, the man covered Nian Ni's mouth. The pen in his hand slipped to the ground, Nianni's left hand clenched the silk, panting desperately, and then slowly stepped back, his back against the wall, and kept trying to shout, but he could only make a sound of "uh-huh-".
"What's going on?" Then another person wearing a bronze mask came out, but this person's mask had a phoenix wing carving, and the brocade of the clothes was slightly luxurious. He was followed by several men wearing ordinary copper masks.
"Young master, this person is eavesdropping outside the door, whether to execute him immediately."
'What?! To be put to death?! I haven't been around for long, why am I going to die unjustly! Nian Ni panicked and struggled to shout out vague words: "I didn't!" I didn't! But the moment he looked up, he met the eyes under the phoenix wing mask.
That glance was full of wonder and thought.
The man wearing the phoenix wing mask saw the woman with firm eyes in front of him, hooked his lips and smiled, without saying a word, dragged Nian Ni and jumped lightly, and disappeared into the corridor.
On the other side, Miao Qing kept finding the door of Jiuhong Building, and when Miao Qing asked the welcome housekeeper, a figure flew out of the back hall of Jiuhong Building, but Miao Qing didn't see it.
"Steward Zhang." Miao Qing had almost finished half of Xu Cheng, and now he was out of breath.
"General Miao." Steward Zhang stepped forward to greet Miao Qing, "General Miao is here, but the prime minister has an explanation?" This building will definitely be a good place to greet you. ”
"Steward Zhang, I came to ask you, have you ever seen a woman dressed in plain clothes and wanting to tie a Qingyun jade pendant today."
Steward Zhang stood in place and thought about it carefully, turning over faces in his mind, and finally stopped at Nianni's face.
"Yes, yes, I saw a woman in plain clothes, and I was about to send her away, but she slipped away by herself."
"Can you be in the building now?" Hearing the news of the young lady, Miao Qing's whole heart had hope, and the sky above her head instantly dispersed.
"Eh-the little slave doesn't know, the general is so anxious, I don't know who she is."
"She is ...... "No, the young lady can't let outsiders know when she goes out privately, otherwise it will cause danger," she is a distant relative of the prime minister, and she has come to the house as a guest these days, and I was ordered to take her out to play." Who knew that he was separated in the assembly, and now he is in a hurry to find her. ”
As soon as he heard that it was related to the prime minister, Steward Zhang knew that he had no eyes, for fear of offending the prime minister, so he hurriedly arranged the welcome items at the door, "Ah Niu, you come to welcome guests, I'll leave first." Then he anxiously took Miao Qing into the building to look for Nianni.
"I have sent someone to stay at the door, if the young lady is still in the house, she will definitely be able to find it."
"Okay."
A finch flew over the Jiuhong Tower, and I saw two people walking back and forth in the building, and their steps were very fast.
.
.
"Hurry up and let me down! Who are you? Where is this? You wear a mask, are you also a wizard? Then you're not going to take me to the heavens, are you?! Don't, don't. Who the hell are you? If I rob money, I only have the jade pendant on my waist. …… Ahh Ah-I beg you, go to those girls in Hongyilou, don't look for me, you will regret it, you will regret it, you can just let me go, big brother. Nianni chattered all the way, but the masked man ignored her, stopped in a bamboo forest, and let go of Nianni's hand. Her feet suddenly hit the ground, Nianni didn't stand firmly, and fell to the ground.
"Oops! Hurt! Then he glared at the person in front of him, "Anyway, I'm also a girl, why don't you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!" ”
The other party did not explain this, but turned his back to Nian Ni and asked in a cold tone, "What did you hear?" ”
"What you hear." Nieni patted her ass and stood up, and as soon as she looked up, the sword was already on her neck.
"Something was heard outside the door."
The eyes under the mask reveal majesty and murderous anger.
"I didn't hear anything." Nian Ni replied confidently, but the sword was a little closer to her neck.
"If you don't hear it, you don't hear it, even if you hear it, are you going to kill people!" After saying this, Nian Ni froze in her heart, feeling that she was talking nonsense...... When he came back to his senses, the man had already put his face close to Nianni, and he was only a fist away.
"If you don't tell the truth, you will die here today."
A word was clearly poured into Nianni's ears, but she wondered in her heart, she didn't hear it, why she didn't believe it.
"I don't even know who you are, no matter what you're talking about!"
The man pressed his face closer, "In that case, why are you standing at the door?" ”
"Study the painting!"
"Painting?" The person under the mask was at a loss for what to do with this answer.
"yes, that's it." As he spoke, Nian Ni opened the clenched silk in his hand, "Because you suddenly rushed out, I still have a piece left unfinished." Speaking of this, Nian Ni was angry in her heart, because she probably never had the opportunity to go to Jiuhong Tower again.
The masked man picked up the silk and looked away from it, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun. Then he turned around and looked at Nianni, who was pouting and sulking. Slowly remove the sword from her neck. Nian Ni hurriedly touched her throat to see if there was any bleeding, she thought that the other party had let her go, but when she raised her hand, a sword light swung over.
This frightened Nianni, her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and when she looked down, her sleeves were torn and fell to the ground, and then several juan silks fell one after another.
It's over, although the things in these juan silks are just notes on Hu Niu Chunyu, but now, these juan silks are enough to put her in danger again.
The masked man quickly poked the silk that swirled into the air with his sword, and pointed it in front of Nianni's eyes.
"That's a painting, what are these?"
Nian Ni pondered in her heart, she always had to think of a complete solution.
"This is the information, the information of the tiger button."
During the Warring States Period, it was not an uncommon thing for the tiger button to be Chunyu, and it was really suspicious that someone wanted to collect its information and deliberately recorded it on the juan silk.
The masked man opened these juan silks, and after seeing the contents inside, he flashed a surprised gaze for a moment, and then immediately lit up with a bloody light, threw a sword to pierce the juan silk and poked it into the bamboo behind Nian Ni, and the simplified Chinese characters on the juan silk were just facing the side of Nian Ni's face.
"This is not Bawen, how do I know this is not the code language you are secretly communicating!"
Nian Ni almost collapsed, how to explain this.
"Hey, this is simplified Chinese characters, and after a long, long time, everyone will be able to read and write words, not some code words. Do you want me to translate it for you? ”
"It's ridiculous, I don't know it, how can I tell if your translation is true or false."
Nieni shook her hand, ready to go in the other direction.
"Forget it, believe it or not, I'm leaving anyway."
As soon as he turned around, there was a "boom", and the sword was in front of his neck.
"I said you had to die here today."
"Why are you like this! Hold your sword around someone's neck at every turn. ”
"Oh? Isn't it something you're most familiar with with holding a sword around your neck? ”
"What?" Nian Ni listened inexplicably.
"Search for me! The Lord has commanded! Capture the king of Jiangyang alive! Bounty of 1,000 taels! ”
A cloud of sparks emerged from the other side of the bamboo forest, and the leader shouted in front.
The masked man's ears moved slightly when he heard the sound, frowned, put away his sword, and ran away with his sword and Nianni.
"Hey! What are you going to do! Nian Ni thrashed and clenched her hand.
"Shut up if you want to live!" The masked man quickened his pace, and Nianni became a girl dragged away in the wind.
"There's a voice over there! Chase me! The torches rushed to Nianni behind the two of them.
For a while, the sound of feet stepping on fallen leaves in the bamboo woodland was particularly crisp, like a chaotic sound.
