Originally, Chaolu didn't want to go to this banquet at all, but considering that the little dragon man who was deep on the outside and cute on the inside was likely to be fooled again, he had no choice but to sit on the eight-lift sedan chair prepared by Shen Qian and go all the way out of the mountain gate.

After a while, the feeling of the bumpy road improved, and Chaolu carefully lifted the corner of the car curtain to look at both sides of the road, only to find that he had entered the downtown area.

Shen Qian rode in front, and he didn't know if he noticed that Chao Lu was looking out, he turned his head at the right time, and smiled at Chao Lu gently.

Dizzy, there must be something wrong with that gloomy boy!

Chaolu's expression twitched, and he hurriedly put down the sedan curtain and didn't see anything.

remembered that before leaving, Yu Fengxian also specially explained that although he and Shen Qian had some friendship, it was only a friendship between gentlemen and water, and they didn't know each other very well, and they also told Chaolu to be careful...... It's good now, but I was cheated before I had time to take precautions.

It's just that no matter what aspect Chaolu thinks of, he can't think of anything else worth Shen Qian's attention in addition to his stalking behavior last night. But to say that last night's whereabouts were revealed, it doesn't look like ......

So, what's going on?

Before she could come up with a clue, she had already arrived at the door of the restaurant where Shen Qian was holding a banquet.

"Master Lu, please."

Shen Qian made a gesture of invitation and smiled as Chao Lu walked out of the sedan chair.

I don't know why, Chao Lu always felt that the smile on Shen Qian's face was a bit far-fetched, as if he was not a person who loved to laugh in the first place, but just deliberately made an expression for the sake of politeness.

Chao Lu settled down, followed Shen Qian upstairs, she deliberately paid attention to the situation in the restaurant, only to see that there were no other guests except the shopkeeper and the running hall, it was estimated that Shen Qian had smashed a lot of silver to wrap the scene, but the more solemn it was, the more bottomless Chao Lu's heart became, and she had a hunch that Shen Qian would never bring her over to just eat a meal.

After sitting down in the private room, he looked left and right and didn't see the paralyzed little dragon man, Chaolu finally couldn't hold his breath and stood up, "Shen Gongzi, didn't you say that the friend who was walking with me has arrived, why haven't you seen him yet?" ”

Shen Qian, who was sitting opposite Chaolu across a few seats, raised his eyes slightly, his expression was very indifferent, "Maybe it's delayed on the road, why is Lu Gongzi so anxious, just wait patiently." ”

"You ......"

Chao Lu sat back in the chair, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to ask him straight to the point, "If the young owner has anything to say, just say it directly, Lu is not a person who likes to hide and tuck, if there is anything that can help, he will do his best." ”

Hearing this, Shen Qian put down the teacup slowly, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, but his pupils were darker than before, "I don't know where Lu Gongzi saw that Shen had something to say?" ”

"Hmph, first of all, your motive for tricking me here is very impure." Chaolu turned his face to look at the bonsai in the corner.

"Since Lu Gongzi is so quick to talk, then Shen won't go around the bend." Shen Qian's slender fingers played with the tea set on the table, with a casual expression.

I don't know why, even if the other party didn't show any hostility, Chaolu still felt that there was something unguessable about the elegant and unsmiling boy in front of him, which was definitely not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

Shen Qian's gaze fell on Chaolu's defensive face at the moment, and he asked in a very soft voice, "You came to deliver the note this time, I'm afraid it's just a disguise, right?" ”

These ice bead-like words poked straight into Chaolu's already tense heart, making her feel cold, looking at Shen Qian's calm and relaxed appearance, could it be that she had already noticed that something was wrong?

However, this Shen Qian is only two or three years older than Yu Fengxian, and it is impossible to be involved in what happened twenty years ago! Could it be that I am thinking too much......

She looked at the person opposite from the corner of her eyes uncertainly, and suddenly remembered the worship under the wisteria tree last night, and her brain was working fast to connect all kinds of trivial pieces together, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't piece together the character of Shen Qian, twenty years ago, this guy was a child of a few years old, even if Jinling Villa was undoubtedly involved, but it was also the grievance of the previous generation, right?

"What is Lu Gongzi thinking, why do you want to be so distracted?" Shen Qian continued to sip tea unhurriedly, casually glancing at Chaolu a few times between his words, but he was not in a hurry to ask for an answer.

And Chaolu was stunned for a moment and then her mind regained clarity again, although she couldn't figure out Shen Qian's true intentions, but after weighing left and right, she still decided to explore the truth and reality, "So, according to Shen Shaozhuang's high opinion, why did you come here?" ”

"Well...... this" Shen Qian deliberately lengthened his tone, and then showed a bewildered look, "Although my Jinling Villa has such a place in the martial arts, there are really few treasures, things that can make Lu Gongzi worry about it, Shen really can't figure it out after thinking about it, and I still hope that Lu Gongzi will make it clear?" ”

Chao Lu stayed for a few seconds, she thought that with Shen Qian's character, she would be almost straight to the point when it came to this, who knew that this guy actually started Tai Chi again, didn't he intend to test her?

"As everyone knows, in the past few days, Lu Gongzi has paid attention to what he has seen in the Zhuangzi?"

As soon as he heard this, Chao Lu was completely stunned, could it be that Shen Qianda had been secretly observing himself from the beginning?!

Remembering that she had just returned from the unnamed island and was attacked by a suspected disciple of Jinling Villa, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her back, this Shen Qian's martial arts were undoubtedly above herself, and it would definitely not work hard, but ...... How the hell did this guy target him? She asked herself that she had been very cautious in all aspects in the past two days, and she hadn't said anything that shouldn't have been said in half a sentence!

As soon as he looked up, he saw Shen Qian staring at him with burning eyes, pinched a cold sweat in the palm of his hand, and took a deep breath, "Don't forget, I came on behalf of the Cangzhou Imperial Family this time." The implication is that if she has any mistakes in Jinling Villa, Shen Qian will not be able to explain to Yu Fengxian.

How do you know that after listening to these threatening words, Shen Qian was not annoyed at all, and his gaze at Chaolu gradually softened, "Lu Gongzi is too worried, Shen has never thought about how to treat you, it's just ...... I have twelve points of sincerity, and I don't know how much Lu Gongzi can pay me back? ”

This is strange, Chao Lu raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party, and his heartstrings, which were still tight just now, relaxed a little, "Naturally, if you respect me a little, I will pay you back." ”

After a pause in her tone, she quickly added—"In that case, let's exchange questions." ”

"How to exchange?" Hearing Chaolu's mention, Shen Qian seemed to be interested.

Thinking that at least he couldn't lose in momentum, Chaolu also calmed down instantly, raised his head and looked directly at Shen Qian without being humble or arrogant, and said calmly: "Take turns to ask questions." ”

"Okay."

Oh, it's refreshing to agree~ Chaolu thought for a few seconds and asked the first question: "How do you know that I came to Jinling Villa with other plans?" Don't tell me you guessed. ”

"Even if I guessed it, why not?" didn't expect Chaolu to make such a joke, Shen Qian couldn't help laughing.

"Hmph, we don't have anything to talk about when you say that!" Chaolu was a little angry, this guy looked serious, but he didn't expect to be honest when answering a question.

Looking at the angry expression on Chaolu's face, Shen Qian smiled and poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "I'm laughing, drink a cup of tea to dissipate your anger." ”

Chao Lu unceremoniously took the teacup and drank it all, stared at Shen Qian with an unkind expression, and said angrily: "Then you are telling the truth!" ”

“…… Actually, someone sued me. Shen Qian glanced at Chaolu lightly.

"Who?" Chaolu patted the table excitedly and asked, this is a big deal!

Who knew that Shen Qian shook his head, with a helpless expression, "I have already answered your question, now let me ask it." ”

There was no way, Chaolu had to grit his teeth unwillingly, got up halfway and sat back in the chair.

"Actually, what is Lu Gongzi pursuing, Shen still has a general understanding in his heart, I just want to know ......" Shen Qian's tone paused, and his eyes gradually cooled, "What are you looking for after many years?" ”

I didn't expect him to ask like this at all, Chao Lu's mind went blank instantly, it turned out that Shen Qian knew it? No, it doesn't make sense......

But how did she answer, could it be that she was tracking down what happened twenty years ago in order to find out who was behind the current troubles? Isn't that too?

Raising her head slightly, she met Shen Qian's suddenly sharp gaze, which made her unavoidable, and she knew in her heart that Shen Qian would not back down at this point, and more importantly, ...... Now that Shen Qian has figured out his old roots, it proves that he must have also understood the things of twenty years ago, so why not test it with half-truths?

Thinking so in his heart, it took a few more seconds to organize the language, and Chaolu said as calmly as possible: "I just think that the incident back then may not be exactly what we knew, so I'm interested in looking it up, that's all." ”

However, after listening to Chaolu's answer, Shen Qian's expression became more and more gloomy, and he was silent for a long time, and finally smashed his hands into fists on the table, shaking the cups and dishes to the ground.

This anger came suddenly, and before Chaolu could react, she saw a heartless smile on the corner of Shen Qian's mouth, so she began to break out in a cold sweat again.

"Do you still need to investigate...... How could someone with a heart cover the truth of the sky so lightly? Shen Qian slowly got up with his hands on the table, his expression against the light was as chilling as if he had come out of an ice cave.

As soon as Chaolu wanted to ask, she felt a wave of pain in her abdomen, so painful that she immediately bent down to cover her stomach, and a hint of foreboding suddenly flashed in her mind.

She looked down in disbelief at the broken teacup and teapot on the ground, and sure enough, she saw an abnormal layer of white foam floating on the scattered tea......

"No, it can't be...... You drank this tea too...... How could it be ......"

Hearing Chaolu's muttering voice, Shen Qian smiled clearly, and said indifferently: "There are many doorways here, you naturally can't prevent it," Speaking of this, he quickly restrained his smile, and quickly regained his gloomy expression at the beginning, "It's enough for me to check this matter, superfluous people...... It's still more reassuring for me to be dead. ”
