Chapter 294: Tangled
The pavilion master may be too worried, in fact, the two are not in conflict, and Miss Xi is not so greedy for life and afraid of death, I know her courage, and I think she is the most worthy of you, I have never seen such a woman, even if she stands among men, she is not inferior at all, she is confident and beautiful, independent and strong, where else in the world can you find such a good woman? Pavilion Master, if you give up the light for the sake of these dangers and darkness, that is the most stupid choice. Bai Bing said sincerely.
In fact, many things are fascinated by the authorities and clear to bystanders.
He knew the fear and fear in Qi Lichen's heart, and he also knew that he was unwilling to let such a good girl suffer with him.
Especially at this time, when the treasure is re-revealed, all the apparent calm may be a prelude to the storm.
The prime minister's man will definitely not give up, at least until this matter is resolved, and he will be able to reconsider whether he will go on his previous path alone.
In the past, they were emperors, and those who seized the dynasty were thieves, and now the dynasty has long been replaced, and the one who sits on the throne is the emperor, and now if they want to discriminate, in the eyes of outsiders, they will become thieves, and if they succeed, it will be a success, and if they fail, it will be a stench for thousands of years, and the court will be in turmoil, and it is possible for the people to be displaced and scolded.
So before doing these things well, he has to think about the consequences, success and failure, which are two extremes.
"Okay, I know that." Qi Lichen drank a glass and placed the wine glass on the table, "You go early." ”
Bai Bing nodded, turned around and retreated.
Qi Lichen drank two glasses of wine, the degree of wine was not high, and it didn't hurt to drink two glasses, and when he was about to go back to the room, he suddenly felt a strange breath.
Perhaps because he was on the enemy's territory, his senses were particularly keen, and this strange aura was unusual and the breath of a living person.
Just about to enter the door, I saw the shopkeeper coming up from the stairs, still holding a cup of plum soup in his hand, and was about to go to other rooms.
Qi Lichen stopped him and asked softly, "Have you seen any strangers come up?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Except for the guests in the store, no one else has come up, and besides, there are no other guests today." ”
Qi Lichen thought about it, maybe he came in through other methods, then this person was even more suspicious, maybe he came for him, maybe it was the prime minister's person.
He may still be hiding in the room, waiting for his arrival, after dying a few times, he walked to his door with a slight smile and a smile, the door was not locked, and when he came down, it seemed that he only brought the door, and he gently pushed the door open, and the darkness inside seemed to hide some danger.
His sense of smell was very keen, and when he was about to sneak in, he suddenly saw the curtain by the window move under the moonlight.
He thought that people were hiding there, and quickly leaned forward to tear open the curtains, but found that there was no one behind him, and the moonlight was hazy, and he found that the window was open, and the curtains were frozen just now, and I am afraid that it was also the movement of the breeze, he immediately lit the candle in the room, and the light filled the whole room, and looked around, and the square inch of the room was unobstructed, only the dead corner of the wardrobe under the bed, and he immediately went to see it, and there was no one in it.
In the room, it was exactly the same as when he left, as if no one had been there.
He breathed a sigh of relief and sat down at the table, in fact, there was nothing particularly important, the important documents placed here were all in Qingyu Pavilion, there were layers of guards, and almost no one could enter and come out safe and sound.
He was about to take a sip of the tea on the table, but suddenly saw some white powder floating in it, he immediately put down the teaglass, it seems that he didn't feel wrong just now, just now when he went downstairs to drink, someone sneaked into his room and put these powders in his teacup, but this is too obvious.
The prime minister should know that he is very defensive against him now, how can he fall for such a trick?
He suddenly wondered if there was some other conspiracy in this, so he went around the room to see that nothing was missing, all his clothes and waist were intact, and no one would take his personal belongings to deceive others.
It's really strange when he sat on the edge of the bed, but suddenly found that a book at the head of the bed had been moved, opened the book and looked at it carefully, there was nothing special, and he was about to put the book down, but he was suddenly surprised that the portrait of Xi Muyun he had just drawn was sandwiched in this book, and he put the book on the side of the bed before leaving.
The portrait was gone, and what was the purpose of the person who came to take it?
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
And Yanzhou, which was far away in the sky, after Gu Jianglin got the news, he sighed slightly and put the letter down, "What should I do now?" ”
With that, he turned and walked out of the tent, looking at the surging river, sparkling in the dark night and hazy moonlight, such a river, looking a little beautiful, who would have imagined that they had also ruthlessly taken the lives of others.
In the distance, the foreman staggered along, and the river beach at night was a little dangerous, and it was on the river beach that the workers had been involved in the river because of the collapse of the base some time ago.
The foreman walked up to him, sighed and said: "Now that the spring tide is overflowing, the river is very turbulent, our project is coming to an end, and it is not a matter of looking for it like this, the corpse does not know where it was swept away, if the person is alive, he should have come back a long time ago." ”
"I thought I could come back, but it was just wishful thinking." Gu Jianglin sighed, in that environment, who can survive, touching, he shook his head, "But after people die, we pay attention to the burial, we can find their bodies, let their relatives take them back, and only after the funeral is done, otherwise we will always owe others." ”
The foreman sighed, although he knew that this was true, but now that manpower was tight, it was not a matter of delay.
He wanted to say more, but Gu Jianglin didn't seem to want to think about these questions anymore, he just waved his hand, and without showing an attitude, he said, "Go down." ”
The foreman nodded, then turned and disappeared into the melting night.
His mood became more and more irritable, and he was about to turn around and go in, but he saw Xu Zhi's carriage slowly coming from outside, he went to the capital two days ago, and he didn't expect to come back so soon, I'm afraid I also heard about what happened here.
Gu Jianglin immediately invited Xu Buzhi in, I don't know why, he was always a little flustered, worried about the things in the capital, worried that some people would make a big fuss because of this matter, he was about to forget about this court, but because of the dam matter, he returned to the court again, but he didn't expect that something went wrong halfway through the matter.
Seeing Gu Jianglin's sad face, Xu Buyi asked with some concern: "Fifth prince, what are you thinking?" ”
"I'm thinking, if this matter is in trouble in the court, and some people make a fuss about it, I'm afraid that it will ......" Gu Jianglin stopped in the middle of his words, sighed leisurely, and then said: "Then I won't be in charge of this matter at that time, and I will return to that small place again and be the king of a land, and my ambition will not be realized." ”
Xu Buzhi frowned slightly, "Is this what you are thinking about now?" ”
