Chapter 31: Playing Big
In the dark hall, the candlelight flickered, faintly bright. Mu Fengqin sat on the soft chair in the main hall, and Qiluo knelt on the ground without speaking.
"Young master, how is she doing?"
"Back to the door master, the young master was seriously injured before, but he somehow broke through the dream demon. I've been getting chills lately, so I shouldn't be able to break through the barrier for the time being. ”
"I know, you go back and protect her well."
"Qiluo obeys." His Royal Highness was dressed in black, his eyes were different from usual, cold and sharp. On the surface, she is Xiao Liangyun's shadow, but in fact, she is also a monitor for Mu Fengqin to her Xiao Liangyun.
That night, Qiluo showed her light strength for the first time, speeding through the forest. Not far behind Qiluo, Zhuqu was dressed in a gray robe, standing at the top of the branch and looking at Qiluo in the distance.
Immediately, the bamboo song disappeared into the night like a wisp of smoke.
It was already early the next morning when Qiluo returned to the palace, and she detoured back to her room from the back mountain. This has to say that the location of the Night King's Mansion is very unique, and it is not in the downtown area of the capital, but it is a little remote. The room assigned to Qiluo happened to be the most remote room closest to the back mountain.
When she returned to the house, she immediately took off her nightwalk, straightened her dress, and pulled the locked latch door open
"Aunt Qiluo is early."
The little maid in charge of serving morning tea saw Qiluo coming over and saluted in a regular manner. Qiluo nodded, and walked towards the main house Qihua Palace,
Xiao Liangyun in the Qihua Hall had just gotten up, and He Lianye was standing next to him in plain clothes, and he was puzzled when he saw Xiao Liangyun coming, "Aren't I taking your vacation today?" Why are you still here? ”
"Miss forgot, I'm going to see the house today."
She suddenly remembered, hurriedly looked at Helian Ye, and then pretended to be calm and said, "I know." ”
"Don't go out for too long, Concubine Yu held a birthday banquet in the palace in the evening, don't forget." He put on his robe overnight and said lightly, as if he was telling his daughter.
"Okay." She responded, and hurriedly sat on the dresser, and then a few maids stepped forward to groom her, and Qiluo helped her find clothes, He looked at her overnight and wanted to laugh inexplicably, it turned out that women have to make up such a big posture, but she is cute, she has some small emotions, and her little secret is inexplicably cute, it should be a very interesting thing to conquer her.
When he thought of going to the palace at night, he had a headache when he wanted to see Luo Zhiyan, and he didn't know why others said that Luo Zhiyan was as pure and immaculate as a jewel, and a woman as gorgeous and moving as a peony, in his eyes it was inexplicably noisy and hypocritical.
After combing her hair in a good-looking bun, she took the list that had been screened out in the past few months and walked to Yinyitang in the capital. After entering Yinyitang, she chose a trader who seemed to be able to talk well.
"Miss, what kind of house do you want, I know all the lively places and houses in the eight districts of the capital, you can buy anywhere."
"It should be remote, big, even a haunted mansion, as long as it is big enough."
"You, you're quite unique." The man who was frightened by Xiao Liangyu's excited and strange tone was a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he said, "You, if you want to find such a house, less than fifty miles to the north, there is a previously abandoned house, which is said to have been the side courtyard of the Marquis of Zhenguo, but was later killed, and the whole house was deserted." We originally wanted not to buy and sell it, but you wanted, the little one, I just like the boss to report it to the top, and let the boss give you a cheap price? ”
"Okay, it's a deal, Qiluo, let's look at the house."
"Girl, your young lady, but, it's really heroic, special."
"I'll tell you the truth, our master has never seen anything. You just have to shut up and take the money. Qiluo deliberately lifted the waist knife pinned to his side, and then threw this person a piece of broken silver. Gotcha. "The man doesn't care, there are everyone in this capital, in the end, he just cares about making money.
The three of them came to this abandoned house, to be honest, the house as a whole is quite large, not dirty or messy, but there are a bunch of weeds and some dust, as if someone has cleaned it. There is a slender corridor in the courtyard, the yard is very large, overgrown with long weeds, and even the lotus pond in the side yard is overgrown with thatch. But the whole is still very big and empty.
"What's the price you're offering?"
"Here's 20 taels of gold."
"Qiluo." As soon as the words fell, Qiluo handed over a bunch of silver tickets, "This is thirty taels of gold, and I want you to send someone to pull out the weeds and clean up the whole thing." There's no time constraint, you just have to finish by the end of the year. ”
The man left happily, leaving the two walking quietly in the hallway. "Qiluo, you said, has there been some peace in this palace recently?"
"Huh? Indeed, after the vacancy of the household department, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince were openly and secretly vying to push their own people up, but His Majesty was also an interesting person, and no one chose it, so he chose Suiyang's parents, Guan Chucheng. ”
"I remember, Chu Cheng only settled in the capital a few days ago."
"Yes, Chu Cheng is not very old, his personality is very honest, he doesn't like to talk to others, and his family's house is not very big, so he looks like he grew up as a poor scholar."
"Qiluo, your long-distance listening skills are better than mine, but you don't like to think deeply about things." She smiled with a smile on her face, "I asked you to pull Wang Yuandao into the water and bring these people in Chu Cheng up, firstly, to check and balance the power of the prince, so as to help He Lianye and my side pull back the checks and balances, and secondly, the old fritters in this officialdom are all people who have experienced big scenes, Chu Cheng is a very good literati, I still remember it was last year's champion, but his family is poor, so he has always been suppressed by these people, do you think they are unwilling." ”
Qiluo looked at Xiao Liangyun's face, watched her lick her lips and smiled, and took a step back. "If these people can be used by us, they are the best blades. Don't you think it's strange, indeed, the person who set the fire in the temple is Wang Huiyan, but is she really the one who did it behind the scenes? After pulling her father into the water, she is just a woman who is jealous of my mother, she hates because of love, but she doesn't have such a big right, if it is said that these people are bought by her, it is even more impossible, I have checked the file, and none of the people who set the fire have been caught, with the skills of the disciples of the underworld for many years, no one can be caught, do you think it is something that ordinary guards in the capital can do. Besides, it was Xiao Yu who led the troops to kill the wives and children of the Liu family, but it was not Xiao Yu who led the troops to kill my grandfather. This matter is not as easy to solve as we thought, and I also find it strange to add Helian Ye as a person. “
"Why do you say that?"
"Hehe, Qiluo, didn't you notice the people behind you when you came back this morning?"
"Huh?"
"When you came to Qihua Hall to find me out, who was the person standing at the door immediately?"
"Bamboo, bamboo song!"
She blew the ashes of the pillar with a little disgust, and then slowly leaned on it, "Although I don't know why you were in such a hurry this morning, why is there a weed on the corner of Zhuqu's clothes that only grows on the mountain, Cuscuta silk." ”
While Qiluo was pondering and stunned, Xiao Liangyu slowly approached her. "This matter is not something that can be done in three days and two ends, relying on the two of us will only send the underworld to the enemy's mouth and bite it to pieces."
She didn't know when she took out a dog's tail grass in her hand and held it in her mouth. "The mansion of the new household department Shangshu Chucheng is not far from us."
"What do you mean?"
"Have you ever played Go?" She turned her back, and a cold wind blew through the half-man-tall thatch, and she shrugged her shoulders.
"If the weak side wants to win, it must plant all our chess pieces around the inconspicuous side, and bite the whole enemy to death."
Wait, what's the hurry.
