Chapter 218: An Unexpected Visitor
The contract man stood in place, silently watching Lin Jue's back disappear into the mottled aura, and for a moment, he actually felt lonely.
Seeing the little back gradually disappear, he unexpectedly felt a trace of unbearable in his heart. I wanted to stop her, but I finally gave up.
In any sense, Nangong Yi will never appear again, even if he helps Lin Jue enter the barracks, what's the point? She still couldn't see Nangong Yi.
In that case, it is better not to give her hope from the beginning.
As soon as such an idea popped up, the contractor himself was shocked, when did he start to become so compassionate and considerate of others? Lin Jue is dead or alive, and what does it have to do with him?
"How's it going, girl?"
watched Lin Jue come out of the teahouse and walked with her for a while, until she got into the carriage, Qinghe spoke quietly.
"He did go missing."
And this disappearance, ten likely, is man-made. Maybe she still knows the murderer.
"Red hair?"
Qinghe gritted his teeth. If it really falls into the hands of the red hair, the consequences are ......
Thinking of this, Qinghe suddenly panicked. No, he is Nangong Yi, and Nangong Yi will not die.
"It's not certain yet."
Lin Jue said lightly, looking out of the carriage
The road covered with yellow sand, the straight poplars, the pedestrians wrapped in coarse cloth, the entire northwest city is yellow, as if covered with a layer of dust.
The road is wide, but it is not smooth. The carriage swayed all the way. If you're not careful, the people in the car will be thrown out.
Lin Jue sat in the carriage, bumping up and down with the body. The heart is also constantly sinking.
It's hard to say whether the murderer is a contract husband or not, but judging from the conversation just now, he definitely already knows about Nangong Yi's disappearance.
But who could make Nangong Yi disappear?
Thinking of this, Lin Jue couldn't help laughing, what did she think of Nangong Yi as, no matter how powerful he was, he was just a human being, and if he was a human being, there would always be times when he was slacking. Maybe those people are just taking advantage of him not looking.
If so, then Nangong Yi is ...... now The deeper you think, the tighter your heart becomes. Looking up, in the face of the vast desert full of unknowns, she didn't have a clue at all.
"The people of the Four Princes have also arrived."
Lin Jue was deep in thought, and Qinghe next to him said in a low voice.
The northwestern city at noon was unusually hot. Peel off the yellow sand and dust that covers it. All that's left is a scarred and broken old wall.
One moment the sun was still very strong, but in the next moment the sky began to show a gray cloud curtain, as if a heavy rain was coming.
The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
It seems that the calm of the Northwest City will not last long.
The weather in the northwest was a little strange, the sun was still shining when he went out, and when Lin Jue returned to the inn from the teahouse, it was pouring rain outside. Although she was holding an umbrella, she and Qinghe were still drenched.
"Where have you two gone? How do you look like this? ”
In the corridor on the second floor of the inn, Ling Mo looked at Lin Jue, who was drenched in soup, with some surprise and asked with concern.
"Go buy something, I didn't expect the sky to change here."
Lin Jue smiled.
"Just tell me if you want something." Ling Moyu glanced at her reproachfully, and said, "Hurry up and change your clothes, I'll go down and order the shopkeeper to cook a few dishes and bring them over." ”
Lin Jue knew that he was wrong, so he didn't say anything, and went to his house, and after taking a shower and changing clothes, the food ordered by Ling Mo was also delivered.
The dishes in the northwest are naturally no match for Kyoto, but looking at the yellow and clear roasted leg of lamb and the fragrant meat bun on the table, she suddenly felt hungry, and her appetite increased in an instant, and she ate several pieces of meat in a row.
"Eat slowly."
Ling Mo looked at her gobbling up, and inexplicably felt a little funny.
"It's not as good as Kyoto, so don't go out alone if you're fine......
If something happens here, it's going to be a problem. Of course, letting Lin Jue not go out doesn't mean that he can't go out either, the team to reward the soldiers for transporting grain and grass has not yet arrived, he can take advantage of the past few days to get a good touch of the details of the Northwest City.
"Got it." Lin Jue chewed and responded vaguely, "Even if you want to go out next time, you have to go out with the sixth brother." ”
Ling Mo laughed, "That's pretty much it. ”
It was still raining heavily, and fine raindrops gathered between the tiles and flowed down the eaves, forming columns of water.
Lin Jue was still eating the big bun with relish on the other side, and Ling Mo suddenly felt that if he didn't have so many things on his shoulders, perhaps, it would be good for time to freeze at this moment.
It's a pity that he was destined to carry those responsibilities on his shoulders from birth, and time can never stop frozen. Some things are just thinking about.
Therefore, he looked at Lin Jue and asked, "In the past few days, has Nangong contacted you?" ”
Unexpectedly, Ling Mo would suddenly ask this, as soon as the movements in Lin Jue's hand stopped, she instantly lost the motivation to continue eating.
So, she put the rest of the bun into the bowl, wiped her hands again, and then said lightly, "No." ”
"He probably didn't know you were coming to the Northwest, did he?"
Ling Mo sighed.
"Can you do me a favor? I want to see him. ”
Lin Jue raised his head and looked at Ling Mo fixedly.
Nangong Yi has disappeared, but because so far she doesn't know who is involved in this matter, she deliberately said so in front of her. took a step back, which can be regarded as turning passive into active, and expressed this meaning - she looked for Nangong Yi, but she couldn't see him. Saying this, not only can you observe the other party's reaction, but also explain by the way why she has not had any contact with Nangong Yi so far.
"Yes."
Compared with the contractual's hesitation, Ling Mo agreed very happily.
"When my team arrives in a few days, you can go in with me. People from Kyoto, General Nangong, as the guard of the northwest city, will definitely come out to greet him in person. ”
Looking at Ling Mo, Lin Jue smiled and didn't answer.
Now, even if Emperor Zhaoyang came in person, Nangong Yi would not come out to greet him.
How can a person who has disappeared come out to greet him?
"Yun Shu, don't blame me for being troublesome, Vika really can't blame Nangong for that incident."
Ling Mo saw that Lin Jue was smiling a little reluctantly, thinking that she was still angry with Nangong Yi, so she spoke.
From the first time he saw Vika, he felt that this woman appeared a little strangely, with a face exactly the same as Lin Jue, and she wanted to marry Nangong Yi in every possible way, how strange and strange this kind of behavior was.
What made Ling Mo feel strange was that his queen mother was very optimistic about Vika, not only defending her everywhere, but also seemed to have helped Vika a lot in the matter of Emperor Zhaoyang's marriage this time.
What Ling Mo couldn't figure out was that such a woman, didn't they feel strange?
"Don't blame him, who else is to blame?!"
Lin Jue said fiercely.
Even if Nangong Yi's whereabouts are unknown now, even if she has already forgiven him in her heart, she is still full of unhappiness when she thinks of this matter.
Looking at her appearance, Ling Mo moved his lips and wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't say it.
In fact, when Emperor Zhaoyang gave the marriage that day, Nangong Yi had already been assigned by the emperor to leave Kyoto and go to the south. And that holy decree was just an oracle, and it didn't reach Nangong Yi at all.
After that, the Tartar invasion broke out, and the war broke out in the northwest.
It can be said that the matter of giving marriage, maybe Nangong Yi didn't know about it from beginning to end.
This matter should be told to Lin Jue, but Ling Mo hesitated for a long time, and still couldn't decide whether to explain this matter for Nangong Yi or not.
Whenever he was about to speak, there were countless voices in his heart constantly screaming and shouting, making him unable to tell the truth calmly.
Next time, next time he will definitely say it.
The two were chatting, but there was a sudden knock outside the door, Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, instantly became more vigilant, and motioned to Qinghe to check the situation first.
Qinghe leaned on the door and glanced at it, then looked back at Lin Jue, and said in a lip language, "It's a contract husband." ”
What?
After listening to Qinghe's words, Lin Jue was so frightened that he almost jumped up from the chair. God, that's too bad, isn't it? She just met like this once today, and she attracted the contractor?
Ling Mo couldn't help frowning. He looked at Lin Jue with a very complicated look, which seemed to mean, you even know the prince of the Rakshasa Kingdom?
Lin Jue was also helpless, and at the same time felt a trace of horror, she hadn't told the contractor where to live at all, and he could actually come to the door?
It seems that he has been targeted by this person since he saw him.
Now, they have all come to the door, and they can only let him in.
So Lin Jue gave Qinghe a look and asked her to open the door.
"Huh? It turns out that the Sixth Highness is also there? ”
As soon as the door opened, the first thing the contractor said was this.
There was a surprised smile on her handsome face.
"Third prince, don't call it that, the team transporting grain and grass hasn't arrived yet, I don't want to reveal my identity so soon."
Ling Mo said half-jokingly.
Even if Empress Yang didn't say it explicitly, Ling Mo still knew something about the "deal" between her and the contractor, so he was not afraid of being known by the contractor about his whereabouts.
"Well, when I didn't say it."
The contractor shrugged his shoulders and changed his words very knowingly. Then he walked to the table and sat down without any politeness.
"The third prince is ——? this time"
Lin Jue looked at him with a little confusion on his face.
But there was some apprehension in his heart, this person has never done things according to common sense, if he directly said in front of Ling Mo later, it would not be good if she asked him for help today.
"Actually, it's nothing, I just happened to send someone to this inn, but I saw the Yunshu county lord you and the maid walking in from outside the door, there were guests at that time, I didn't come forward to say hello, and then I thought that since I saw at least two words of greeting, so I came up, I was lucky, but I didn't expect to see not only the county lord, but even the six princes."
The contract husband Yun opened his mouth to explain lightly, without mentioning the matter that Lin Jue asked him for help before. (To be continued.) )
