Chapter 217: Door-to-door visits

"What the hell is going on? What about Nangong Yi? ”

After closing the window, Lin Jue couldn't wait to ask. Nangong Yi's whereabouts, Liu Man knows best, since it is clear, how could he not find Nangong Yi?

"One day two months ago, I met the Tartars who came here to grab food, and the boss took a team of people and directly killed them without leaving a piece of armor. This was a good thing, and when the boss came back, there was nothing unusual, and it was late that day, and we all went back to the barracks to sleep, but when I went to the boss's barracks the next day, he was gone. Afterwards...... It never happened again. ”

In the past two months, he has also tried various ways, listened to all kinds of news, and even asked people to search every corner of the great northwest, but no matter how he looked, he didn't find Nangong Yi's figure.

"Who else knows this news?"

Lin Jue asked.

Nangong Yi has been missing for so long, and it's not easy to hide it in the barracks, right? The barracks are so big, and there are so many people, Nangong Yi hasn't appeared for so long, I'm afraid it has aroused suspicion, right?

"No one knows but us."

"More than that, right?"

Lin Jue smiled bitterly.

If only a few of them knew, how could the people of the Four Princes come to the northwest in a bunch?

"To the officers and men in the army, I mean the boss has something to do and leave for a while. Anyway, the Tartars have been divided a lot recently, and the war is not as tense as before. ”

"In addition to the soldiers of our great cause, are there also people from the Rakshasa Kingdom stationed here?"

Nangong Yi married Princess Vika, and Ah Jiu married the prince of the Rakshasa Kingdom. The reason why Emperor Zhaoyang did this was to form an alliance with the Rakshasa Kingdom, since it was an alliance. Naturally, it is common to deal with the Tartars.

"The red-haired people didn't come in, they were stationed at the junction of the Rakshasa Kingdom and us, they were originally going to come in, but they were rejected by the boss."

Liu Man said, "I was furious when I thought of the way the red hair was doing anything here earlier, and I don't know what the emperor thought about forming an alliance with the red hair. Those brothers who died under the red-haired broadsword back then. All died in vain!! ”

Lin Jue shook his head, in the eyes of the superiors, there has always been only interests. There are no eternal friends, and there are no eternal enemies, and the red hair is now useful for the great cause, and Emperor Zhaoyang naturally wants to win it over. Wait until the day when you don't need it. Naturally, he didn't want it.

"County Lord, you said that the boss would not be captured by the red hair?"

Although with Nangong Yi's martial arts, the possibility of such a thing is not high, but he disappeared from the barracks for no reason, and Liu Man really couldn't think of a better reason other than being taken away.

"Has the contractor come this time?"

Being reminded by Liu Man like this, Lin Jue suddenly thought of a key old person.

"I've been here a few times, and this time the general over there is still him."

"Can you invite him? I want to see him. ”

The face with the heterochromatic eyes resurfaced. There was a glimmer of hope in Lin Jue's heart, maybe after meeting the contract husband. Things will turn around.

The climate in the Northwest City was unusually hot and dry, and after eating the mutton-based staple food for two days in a row, Lin Jue felt that as soon as he opened his mouth, nosebleeds were about to gush out.

"How? Going out for a while? ”

After breakfast, Ling Mo walked over and asked.

The team of rewarding soldiers has not yet reached the northwest, and he has time to wander around.

"Go ahead, I want to stay in the inn." , Lin Jue shook his head and refused.

Today, Liu Man made an appointment with a contract husband, and he will come later, where does she have other thoughts to wander around.

"Alright then, you have a good rest here. I went out to see the cultural scenery. ”

Seeing this, Ling Mo was not reluctant.

In fact, he was a little puzzled, he had been in the city for two days, Nangong Yi did not appear, and Lin Jue did not go to the military camp in the northwest city to see him, could it be that the relationship between the two had really become so stiff? But this kind of thing, he is not easy to ask an outsider, so although he has doubts in his heart, he has no choice but to give up.

"Where are you going to meet him?"

After Ling Mo left, Lin Jue asked Qinghe.

The inn is crowded with people, and the contractor will naturally not appear. But if the place he set was too remote, she had to keep an eye on it beforehand.

"In a teahouse in the alley west of the city. The slave had already gone to see it just now, but she didn't find anything suspicious about the teahouse for the time being. ”

Lin Jue nodded.

In fact, even if it is dangerous, in order to get news of Nangong Yi, she still has to go.

The northwestern castle is very large, and the roads and most of the buildings in the castle are modeled after those of Kyoto, and with the exception of domed temples that pop up every other section, if you are not careful, you will think that you are still in the middle of the bustling city of Kyoto.

The alley in the west of the city is not too far from the inn where Lin Jue lives, because it is morning, there is basically no one in the teahouse, Lin Jue entered the lobby of the teahouse according to the address given by the contractor, turned directly up the stairs, and came to the door of a private room on the second floor.

The moment she reached out and knocked on the door, her heart suddenly tugged.

When she was in Kyoto, she had only met her husband a few times. This man is the most treacherous and cunning, and likes to kill people invisibly, and ordinary little tricks can't deceive him at all. What will she do later, so that she can find out Nangong Yi's news in the shortest possible time?

While he was hesitating, the door of the private room suddenly opened from the inside.

A bright smiling face appeared in front of Lin Jue, the contract husband was full of smiles, and his handsome face was full of enthusiasm.

"County Lord, you're finally here."

There was no one else in the private room, and it seemed that the contractor had come to the appointment alone.

With a faint smile on his face, Lin Jue walked into the private room.

"It's really surprising that the county lord actually came to the Northwest City in person."

After sitting down, looking at Lin Jue, a trace of surprise appeared on the handsome face of the contract husband.

"Come out and relax."

Lin Jue smiled.

She originally planned to talk to her contractor about Nangong Yi's disappearance, but she eventually changed her mind. Although she had already speculated in her heart before she came, this matter was inseparable from the person in front of her, but she was afraid of everything.

What if it has nothing to do with him? In case he doesn't know that Nangong Yi has disappeared. Talking to him so rashly, didn't you just send him a big news for free?

The contract husband didn't know what Lin Jue was thinking, and he heard that she was here to relax. He raised his eyebrows even more in surprise and said, "Running to the Great Northwest to relax?" The county lord is really different. ”

"There are nasty people in Kyoto who don't want to stay."

Lin Jue's words were concise and to the point.

"You mean my sister, Vika?"

The contractor couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes!" Lin Jue looked directly at him, "Why does your sister look like me?" ”

"Huh?"

The contractor was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled even more happily, he didn't expect it. The woman of the great cause is so reckless.

No wonder that person wouldn't even want his life for her, Lin Jue, there is indeed something special.

But special is special. For him, it's no different, anyway, the people who have crossed paths with him have all turned into a dead corpse in the end.

"Why does it look the same as you. This question. You're going to ask my sister, how do I know? ”

The contractor looked at her, a habitual smile on his lips.

"She's not your sister?"

Lin Jue simply argued with him to the end. Anyway, she hadn't figured out how to deal with him yet.

"The relationship between brother and sister in the royal family, I believe the county lord also understands it, and I am not the same mother as her." , the contractor showed a rare serious expression, "Vika's mother." It's you great people, maybe. That's why you look alike, right? ”

Lin Jue didn't buy his explanation at all, his biological mother was a great person, and at most Vika's appearance was more Central Plains, where could she look exactly like her.

"Vika is arrogant with us."

Lin Jue glanced up at him.

"She's been arrogant since she was a child." The contract husband was not surprised by Lin Jue's words.

It doesn't matter if you are arrogant by nature, but if you are so arrogant that you go to other people's houses to grab things, it is a bit excessive.

Seeing that she was silent and didn't speak, the contract husband changed the topic with a smile, "You're coming back, I'm afraid General Nangong doesn't know, right?" ”

At the mention of Nangong Yi, Lin Jue's heartbeat suddenly missed a beat.

yes, he really doesn't know.

was depressed in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, so she said to the contractor, "I don't need to sue him, I just want to take advantage of him not paying attention, and then beat him hard!" ”

The contract man was stunned again, and then laughed directly, "The county lord is really a man of temperament, but I heard that General Nangong has strong martial arts, and the county lord wants to beat him, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right?" ”

"I have my own way of beating him."

Lin Jue was full of confidence on the surface.

"That-", the contractor paused, then looked at her with a smile, "The county lord came to me today, didn't he want me to help you beat General Nangong, right?" ”

A joke not only asked Lin Jue the purpose of coming, resolved the embarrassment that might be caused between the two, but also successfully pushed the problem to Lin Jue.

Although the two of them had met a few times before, they had no intersection, and it was impossible for Lin Jue to run to the northwest to find him. Since he came to him, there must be a problem, as for what the problem is, the contract man believes that as long as he talks a few more words, Lin Jue himself will say it.

"It's worthy of the third prince, I haven't even said it, you guessed it."

Lin Jue said with a smile.

"Do you really want me to help beat General Nangong?"

This time, the contractor was surprised.

"Don't beat me up, I just want you to do the third prince a favor and let me see him. In the past two days, I went to the barracks several times, but I was stopped by the guards. ”

Lin Jue looked at him with a smile.

"This ......"

The contractor suddenly looked embarrassed, paused for a moment, and then said with some hesitation, "That place, even if it's me, it's not easy to enter." ”

Expected answer.

"Really?"

Lin Jue lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I thought you had a way, Third Prince." ”

She stared blankly at the cup of tea in front of her, her face full of disappointment.

After a while, Lin Jue seemed to come back to his senses, looked up at the contractor and said, "I'm in trouble with the third prince today, I'll think of a way again." ”

With that, she stood up, blessed the contractor, and turned to leave.

The midday sun shines through the windows peculiar to the northwest, casting specks on the interior. Even the people in the room were gilded with a layer of gold. (To be continued.) )
