"Lord Yuan, shall we go home?" The palanquin man asked.

Yuan Jinpei watched Gu Qingchu disappear from the gap in the curtain, frowned, put down the curtain and said, "Go home." ”

Gu Qingchu saw an extremely familiar figure, the side face looked exactly the same as his brother, she was very sure that Gu Minghua was dead, and she personally collected the body and cremated it.

Who did she see? If it was just similar, Gu Qingchu would not chase it out impulsively, she also saw the pendant hanging from the man's waist, which was a token from her mother to her brother and sister.

At that time, when she brought her brother's corpse back, she didn't find a token, even if it turned to ashes, she wouldn't admit it, the jade pendant thought it was her brother's fish ring jade pendant, and it was a pair on her.

After getting off the sedan chair, Gu Qingchu couldn't find the figure of the person, the other party's walking route seemed to be in a small alley, and he didn't think much about Gu Qingchu and walked in.

There is only one road in the small alley, turn left and turn right to see suddenly, and behind the alley is a lotus pond.

Several small pavilions were built on the water, in which anglers sit, some with hats and others napping with their palms.

Gu Qingchu's eyes swept over one by one, but she didn't notice the person she saw just now, and when she turned to leave, she noticed that something was wrong, there was something wrong with the angler closest to her.

The water surface floats, the fishing rod is slightly shaking, and some fish are hooked, but the angler seems to have no response.

Even Gu Qingchu, who is not fishing, knows that the fish can't be dragged forward with the fishing rod when the fish is hooked, this person looks panicked in a hurry, and the palm of the thin skin and tender meat is even less like an angler.

Gu Qingchu retracted his steps and slowly walked towards the angler, but before he got closer, he saw the man jump suddenly and jump into the water.

At the moment when the other party went into the water, Gu Qingchu recognized that it was none other than Liu Ziye.

Downstream along the lotus pond, there was a hole under a wall opposite, and Liu Ziye ran away along the hole.

Seeing that the other party fled in a hurry, Gu Qingchu was speechless, and she didn't want to chase after her......

Looking for the missing Liu Ziye is a matter of Dali Temple, and it has nothing to do with her, but this Liu Ziye made the appearance of being taken away and disappeared by others, did she deliberately make others think that it was her hand?

Liu Ziye must have hated her very much, probably to escape the trip to Ningguta, in the end, he was used to not knowing the sky and the earth by his family, and felt that he could control the overall situation with a little cleverness.

In the end, being smart is mistaken by being smart.

Gu Qingchu didn't think much about Liu Ziye, Dali Temple is not for dry rice, Liu Ziye will be found sooner or later if he is in Shengjing, and it will only be Liu Ziye who will not be able to get off the stage and have no way out.

Some people always have to pay the price for their willfulness, and not they can get away with it.

Gu Qingchu turned around and left, not wanting to look at it for more.

After she left, a man appeared on the water, and the angler next to him greeted him familiarly: "Strong wind, practice holding your breath again." ”

The man who was called Gale went ashore with a smile, twisting his hand on his clothes, and the jade pendant around his waist was crystal clear and shining in the sun.

When Gu Qing first walked out of the alley, there was a bookstore on his left.

I remembered that I had never read "Flora of the Southern Barbarians" before, so I thought about going in and buying a copy.

Worthy of being the largest bookstore in Shengjing, Gu Qingchu entered the door and asked the shopkeeper, and took out a box from the innermost bookcase, which contained five or six copies of "Nanban Flora".

"Girl, this is the first volume, and the other three are "Strange Chronicles of the Eastern Regions", "Water Li Flower Collection" and "Tianqing Mountain Forest Chronicles"" The shopkeeper enthusiastically introduced.

There are too few people who come to ask about these books on weekdays, and the shopkeeper thinks that since the girl in front of her wants to buy Nanban flora, she may be interested in other things, so she takes them out.

"What is this book about?" Gu Qingchu picked up "Strange Chronicles of the Eastern Regions", and the drunken gentleman with a red face came from the Eastern Regions.

"It's about the ghosts and legends of the Eastern Regions, which is particularly interesting, it's all folklore, and there are illustrations."

Gu Qingchu thought it was a realistic book, but it turned out to be a storybook.

"Okay, just these two books," Gu Qingchu took "Nanban Flora" and "Strange Chronicles of the Eastern Regions", regardless of whether it was useful or not, she always subconsciously wanted to collect them related to the Eastern Regions.

King Jing's Mansion

"My lord, Ning Lianghou has already returned home." Ying Yi reported, and then added: "Ning Lianghou is holding two books in his hand, one of which is a subordinate who saw that the cover reads "Nanban Flora". ”

The brush in Yuan Jinpei's hand broke.

"Shadow One, find an opportunity to steal or destroy the book before Ning Liang waits for it to read."

The solemnity in the words seemed to command something important and monstrous, but the truth was that it was just stealing books.

"Yes, my subordinates will do it." Although Kageichi was puzzled, there was only one thing about the adult's order, and that was to carry it out unconditionally.

It's just that this time, suddenly there was some difficulty, how could I complete the task again, and I couldn't offend Ning Lianghou.

After Yuan Jinpei left, he lost the mind to practice calligraphy, and walked back and forth by the window, how did Gu Qingchu read the content of the book?

Not really, but he just didn't want her to see it.

Thinking like this, Yuan Jinpei called Ying Wu again and ordered the other party to buy all the "Nanban Flora" in Shengjing.

On this day, the owners of all bookstores in Shengjing blossomed.

It's good that the books that look like they're going to get damp and yellow at the bottom of the box have been sold all at once.

Gu Qingchu's book was lost.

"Jade Bracelet, have you seen the book I bought?" Gu Qingchu looked for it back and forth on the desk, and obviously put it on the table before he came back to eat.

The jade bracelet took a bowl of ice and handed it to Gu Qingchu and said, "I saw it just now." ”

As he spoke, he called the maid in and asked the two if they had seen it, and one of the two maids was the maid Baimei pretending to be Shadow Thirteen.

The two maids didn't see it either.

"It's strange, the book can still disappear out of thin air?" Gu Qingchu muttered, Bai Mei's brows jumped, and she secretly scolded Ying Yi in her heart for not doing good things, knowing that she would not help him.

However, I agreed, and I could only help others to the end.

"Hey, what's that?" Bai Mei pretended to be surprised and pointed to the window.

Gu Qingchu looked out the window, standing by the eaves and didn't know when an eagle was standing.

There is a courtyard of all things in King Jing's mansion, and there are all kinds of beasts in it, and the eagle probably flew from there.

"Miss, the book is there." Jade Bang wanted to close the window, afraid that the eagle would fly into the house and disturb the young lady, and accidentally saw two books floating by the lake outside the window.

The room where Gu Qingchu lived opened the window to a pond, with small fish in the lotus lake on it, and the scenery was pleasant.

"Did this eagle come to the lake to catch small fish, then go into the house, catch the book, and throw it into the lake?" The jade bracelet opened her mouth and guessed.

Yes, that's it! Bai Mei nodded silently in her heart.

Gu Qingchu didn't answer the words of the jade bracelet, this eagle is not afraid of people, she walked up, and one person and one eagle looked at each other.

The eagle's sharp gaze looked like it had a hint of contempt, but it was somewhat similar to its owner.

Gu Qingchu chuckled and stretched out his arm at the eagle, which unexpectedly spread its wings and flew into the room and landed on Gu Qingchu's arm.

"I remember this eagle was called Qingtian, and it was very well trained." Gu Qingchu's fluttering words made Bai Mei's heart next to him suddenly lift.
