Chapter 167: A Man or a Ghost
To sum up, the most likely statement is that on this boat, in addition to Zuo Ying, there are factors that will be unfavorable to her.
First of all, the woman said, "You can't use the medicine from the Shenchu royal family," and said, "Someone asked me to bring you a message, you must be careful."
Be careful of what?
Are you careful of someone, or is it careful?
Luo Liyao was a little suspicious of the woman at first, but with her help, Mo Yi's situation had gradually improved, and she didn't want to get anything from Luo Liyao - so Luo Liyao had no reason to trust her a little more.
So...... What could be the detrimental factor to her?
At present, as the princess of Tianqi, she came to Shenchu to be equivalent to a "messenger" to send relatives to Meng Liran. In the eyes of all parties in Shen Chu, she and Meng Liran are naturally in the same faction, and since Meng Liran and Chu Lingze are husband and wife, she can be regarded as more inclined to Chu Lingze.
Then, those who are not very friendly with her are the parties that belong to Chu Lingyuan: Yongjun, Yongye, and the four fierce generals under Yongjun, including Zuo Ying.
Now that they are on Zuo Ying's boat, many of them are friends and foes, so they will naturally be extra careful.
Luo Liyao's Tianqi Imperial Family identity was there, and neither Shen Chu nor Wei Yan could let her suffer harm in her own territory, at least not because they could come clearly.
Therefore, if someone from Shen Chu or Wei Yan wants to make a move against Luo Liyao, they can only assassinate or hold him hostage, and this kind of thing that is only suitable for stealth is best carried out when the subject relaxes his vigilance - but the assassin who has never succeeded in Nanchuan City chose to strike again when they will definitely not relax.
Logically, this simply doesn't make sense.
Moreover, "there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests" - Luo Liyao is deeply trusted and valued by Emperor Tianqi, and her status in Luo Xizheng's heart is extraordinary, so no matter which side is Shen Chu or Weiyan, the living Luo Liyao is more valuable to them than the dead Luo Liyao.
Especially when they are still likely to be hated by Luo Xizheng for attacking Luo Liyao, will they really easily send someone to assassinate Luo Liyao?
Could it be that they expected that Luo Xizheng would not find out what they had done, and would have the courage to offend Tianqi?
Who gave them courage?
Luo Liyao shook her head, staring at the roof of the cabin in front of her in the dark, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her thoughts were disordered, and it directly became a mess that was constantly incomprehensible.
The dagger in his sleeve was cold and hard, and the patterns on the scabbard were beautiful and intricate, and it was even a little awkward to the touch—but Luo Liyao rubbed it over and over again, as if the man was gently soothing his cheek every time.
She is now confused and helpless, it seems that her road ahead is always so long and a little difficult, so that she can only take one step at a time, always on the way to find the answer, and has always been led by the person behind the scenes.
Who was that man, what was his purpose, what was he going to do, what was his attitude towards her, and what was his power...... Luo Liyao didn't know anything.
It's like a blind man touching the dark, so passive that he can't be passive.
Zuo Ying did not give a clear answer to the encounter between Luo Liyao and Mo Yi, and only said that the nearby Haikou had prevailed for many years, reminding everyone who was not a crew member to stay in the cabin and not to walk around on the deck at will, lest the boat be too big to be rescued for a while - the implication is that all relationships have been cleared up, and even the failure to provide timely support has the reason that "the ship is too big".
Luo Liyao laughed and laughed, so she didn't argue with him anymore, and only secretly wrote down the matter of Mo Yi's injury in her heart.
She believes that the way of heaven has its own reincarnation, it's not that she doesn't report it, it's just that the time has not yet come.
No matter what the road ahead, whether the other party is a human or a ghost...... Let's go bold first!
......
When Tianji and Tang Haoqi came out of the Shenchu Wangyue Tower branch, it was already noon.
"What's the use of saying that you have to talk a few more words to the shopkeeper?" Tang Haoqi glanced at him with disgust, "It's annoying to ask people, they didn't leave us to eat!" At this time, I am afraid that it will be too late to enter the palace, so I can only solve it myself......"
"Stumped you with a meal?" Tianji snorted, "What do you know, I'm here to prepare for the future-"
"Yes, yes, it's the first time I've seen a man like you discuss rouge with a woman so seriously." Tang Haoqi complained as he walked, looking around for a restaurant where he could eat, "You look like a pervert, if you weren't holding Su Luoran's letter, people wouldn't want to talk to you at all, okay?" ”
"You ......"
Tang Haoqi didn't give him a chance to refute, immediately interrupted him, dragged him and walked to the noodle restaurant in front: "Okay, okay, there's a noodle restaurant there, let's go!" I'm going to starve! ”
The noodle shop is not large, but there are many people, and the people gather around the table in groups of three or five, either waiting to eat or eating seriously—as it is true of Shen Chu, even the common people consciously abide by the gentlemanly behavior of "eating without speaking".
But in the end, it is also a folk, and the requirements for etiquette are not as harsh as those of princes and nobles, so the latest topics chatting about by those who have not yet started eating have become Tang Haoqi and Tianji's biggest pastime in the waiting time-
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to get married, right? And that Tianqi came to the county lord? ”
"Three days later?
”
"Yes, the wedding on November 15 is only three days!"
"Hey, it's been lively again these days-"
"Be quiet...... Maybe there will be eagle guards around, and if those people hear you, you'll have to be dragged away tonight! ”
"Oh, that's what I said - the noodles are coming, eat the noodles, eat the noodles, eat the noodles!"
Tang Haoqi's eyes kept glancing at the people who were talking at the table next to him, and as soon as he saw that they stopped speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the sky.
Tianji pursed his lips, only buried his head in hard work, and waited until Tang Haoqi had finished eating the noodles half-heartedly before he got up and walked out of the store first.
"They call the 'Eagle Guard'......"
"Shh Tang Haoqi made a silent gesture towards him, and said in a low voice, "Let's go to the palace first and ask the princess." ”
Tianji glanced at him, isn't it you who is the most curious in his heart, why can he calm down again at this time?
Could it be ...... Tianji quietly looked around, and just caught a glimpse of someone on the corner of the street who turned past, and suddenly had some guesses in his heart.
They are now in Cangxia City, the royal city of Shenchu, and they are not familiar with the place, and they don't even know who they are targeting.
This feeling of being under the nose of others is really uncomfortable - and this feeling of being watched by people lingers until they enter the palace and enter their residence.
"If I hadn't known that Senior Ye had cleaned up all the people around me, I would still think that someone was paying attention to us all the time......" Tang Haoqi unconsciously got goosebumps at the thought of someone watching, shook his arm and said, "I can't stand it!" If I had known who it was, I'd-"
"Just go and set fire to their stronghold?" Luo Liyao came from outside, and just happened to hear him complaining here, so he took it by the way, "I'll give you this opportunity now, how about it?" ”
"Really? Tease me again-" Tang Haoqi hurriedly stepped forward, "Brother Tianji and I have already gone to see Qianzhi today, don't you know, except when you are in Mochiyue Tower and here, there are people following you throughout the whole process!" The whole way! It's too difficult, it's a violation of personal freedom, illegal tailgating......"
"You can do it." Tianji pulled him, and then his words continued, "I happened to hear a few words from the people of Cangxia City, it seems that there are always some 'Eagle Guards' in this city who are monitoring everything - these 'Eagle Guards', will they have anything to do with Zuo Ying?" ”
"I heard Prince Shen Chu say that he is his subordinate." Luo Liyao glanced outward, motioned for Tianji to close the door, and went straight inside and sat down, "It is said that it is a special guard to protect the royal city, but it is just the eyes and ears of the great general Yongjun."
That's it—to keep an eye on the entire royal city for him, and if there is anything unfavorable to him, let him exclude dissidents. ”
"Shhh Tang Haoqi looked disgusted, "Listening to what those people said, these 'Eagle Guards' seem to arrest people casually, and it's not a matter of a day or two...... This is still Shenchu's royal city, so chaotic, there is no royal law! ”
"This is someone else's territory, and someone else is the king's law." Luo Liyao sneered, "The Jiangmen Yongjia covers the sky with one hand above the Shenchu court, up to the emperor and down to the people, there is nothing they dare not do——"
"How do you feel that you have just gone out of the door, and your anger has become so heavy?" Heaven closed the door, looked at the sneering Luo Liyao, and then looked at the indignant Tang Haoqi, and said helplessly, "Not all countries are law-abiding like Tianqi, let alone like Tianqi, 'nobles and commoners are equal before the law', right?" That's the norm......"
"Tsk." Tang Haoqi set his eyes on Luo Liyao, "Princess, I really believe it this time." ”
Luo Liyao pursed her lips and said nothing, twisting her hair with her fingers, as if she was pondering something.
But Tianji was confused: "What do you believe?" ”
No one answered him, only a long silence.
"Tomorrow the king of Shenchu will meet you, and you will go with me." After a long time, Luo Liyao opened her mouth, "It's a person or a ghost, don't you know if you go and see it in person?" ”
Tang Haoqi slapped the table in agreement: "Okay! ”
Heavenly Machine: "......"
Well, this is not our home turf, and those people are not good people - how do you know there are no pits!
