Chapter 328: Backyard Thieves
Qiao Mingyue didn't refuse, sat down and picked up a clean cup and began to drink.
Seeing her so bold, Deng Xiaoxian's interest became even stronger, "Under Deng Xiaoxian, he is an envoy of the Southern Zhao." Receiving Qi Jingyun's eyes asking for help, he added: "I asked His Royal Highness King Jin to accompany me to Shangyin Pavilion, he only drank a pot of wine here, and did nothing else." ”
Qiao Mingyue said lightly: "I know." ”
Do you know that he is an envoy of Nanzhao, or do you know that Qi Jingyun came to Qinglou out of necessity? Deng Xiaoxian felt that she should know both.
Although Qiao Mingyue was unwilling to pay attention to him, Deng Xiaoxian's interest in Qiao Mingyue did not decrease at all.
"Princess Jin, in fact, you should believe him, he really just came with me, and after coming in for a long time, he kept drinking and drinking somewhere, making me think he was not interested in women." As a result, I didn't expect that the beauties in his family were far from being comparable to the vulgar fans outside. Of course, Deng Xiaoxian did not say the latter sentence.
Seeing that Qiao Mingyue still didn't speak, his words changed: "Actually! It's not like he didn't do nothing. Qi Jingyun's eyes widened in horror, what did he do? Qiao Mingyue's action of pouring wine also paused slightly.
Seeing that Qiao Mingyue finally reacted, Deng Xiaoxian shook the wine in the cup again and again, and said slowly: "He still paid for the money we came in to shop!" Several silver tickets! Less than five hundred taels, right? Qi Jingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Qiao Mingyue continued to drink, still silent. If it weren't for the two words she said at the door, Deng Xiaoxian would have thought she was dumb.
Qiao Mingyue didn't want to say more, and Deng Xiaoxian didn't know how to speak, so the two of them silently fought for a lot of wine. Deng Xiaoxian had already drunk a lot, and after a while, he fell unconscious on the table.
Seeing that Deng Xiaoxian was drunk, Qiao Mingyue didn't stay anymore, and immediately went back to King Jin's Mansion with Qi Jingyun, but they didn't notice that after they left, Deng Xiaoxian, who was originally lying unconscious on the table, suddenly opened his eyes.
On the way back, Qi Jingyun had been busy explaining, but Qiao Mingyue still didn't pay much attention to him.
"Lady, lady, lady, I was wrong!"
"Lady, I won't dare to ...... in the future" Qi Jingyun had no skin and no face, so he shouted on the street, and many people had already looked at them, but this thing seemed to be imperceptible. Qiao Mingyue didn't think that Qi Jingyun was as thick-skinned as Qi Jingyun, so she reached out to cover his mouth and pulled him back to King Jin's mansion quickly.
"Lady, just forgive me! Big deal, next time I'll stand outside and wait for him, and never go in. As soon as he entered the room, Qiao Mingyue let go of him, his mouth lost its restraint, and Qi Jingyun began to shout again, and by the way, he also raised three fingers to make an oath.
Qiao Mingyue closed the door, and couldn't help but laugh when she saw him playing with treasure, she stepped forward and patted his hand, and said angrily: "Okay, do you want to have a next time?" ”
Qi Jingyun saw that Qiao Mingyue was no longer angry, and hurriedly said, "No, no, no, absolutely not." ”
In fact, when she was drinking with Deng Xiaoxian, her anger had already disappeared, she trusted Qi Jingyun very much, there is no doubt about this, at the beginning her anger may have come from the woman's inexplicable jealousy, after figuring it out, Qiao Mingyue even felt a little guilty, but of course, she would not tell Qi Jingyun about this.
More important at the moment is one more thing.
Qiao Mingyue poured a cup of tea and took a sip, the tea was a little cold, but it was just right for decanting.
"Lord Wang, you will still have less contact with Deng Xiaoxian in the future, I think this person is more unfathomable than he shows. And I think that the purpose of his visit to Dazhou this time must be more than just friendship between the two countries. Qiao Mingyue's expression was solemn.
Different from Qi Jingyun's sincerity, although Deng Xiaoxian looks bohemian, Qiao Mingyue still feels that this person is definitely not simple. The first time she saw him, Qiao Mingyue felt that this was a very dangerous person, and if it was not necessary in the future, she would rather never deal with this person again. If his current appearance is disguised, then this person is too terrifying, after all, Qiao Mingyue's vigilance against him comes entirely from her inner intuition, that is, she didn't find anything suspicious in him.
Qi Jingyun also became serious, and just as he wanted to say yes, he heard a few cuckoo voices outside the window.
Qi Jingyun looked over and found a note sandwiched between the window. It's a person who investigates secretly.
Qi Jingyun took a closer look and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Lady, you are too godly!" ”
"Deng Xiaoxian has a problem?" Qiao Mingyue took a sip of tea.
Qi Jingyun snatched the teacup from her hand and said, "The tea is cold, drink less." That's when he got to the contents of the note.
"Deng Xiaoxian's purpose in coming to the capital is really not simple, he is here to find a treasure map, it seems that it is no secret that his father has five treasure maps in his hand, but he doesn't know where his father hid them before he died, so he decided to come to the capital to give it a try."
There was no tea to drink, Qiao Mingyue licked her lips and said, "Fortunately, he doesn't know, otherwise it will be troublesome for us to find the treasure map." Anything else? ”
Qi Jingyun continued: "He also knew that the Yu family still had a treasure map, but he didn't know that it was in his grandfather's hands. ”
Qiao Mingyue raised her forehead, "We have to go to Nanzhao as soon as possible, and there is a risk of delaying it for a day." ”
Qi Jingyun nodded approvingly.
Knock knock! There was a knock on the door. Qi Jingyun immediately tore up the note and soaked it into a teacup.
"Lord and princess, the old slave has something to say." It's Steward Lee.
What could he do? Qiao Mingyue slandered, but still let him in.
"What happened?" Qi Jingyun asked.
"Back to the prince, the minions caught a thief in the backyard." Steward Li bowed his head and replied.
Qi Jingyun was a little unbelievable when he heard this, who dared to steal to King Jin's mansion?
Qiao Mingyue also felt that something was wrong, so she said, "Let's go and see it first!" ”
"Yes." Steward Li still bowed his head.
If it weren't for today's thieves, Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun would probably have forgotten about this courtyard and the beauties who lived in it.
Before they had entered the courtyard, they heard a murmuring cry from within. Qiao Mingyue couldn't help but have a headache.
"Bold thief, you dare to come to King Jin's Mansion to steal something, I think you are impatient!"
"You're wrong, I'm not a thief!"
"Dare to quibble!"
"It hurts, it hurts! Tap, tap. ”
At this voice, Qi Jingyun and Qiao Mingyue both looked awe-inspired, and when they walked into the courtyard, they found that the "thief" who was caught by the house slave was none other than Deng Xiaoxian, who took Qi Jingyun to visit the Qinglou not long ago and drank with Qiao Mingyue.
