Chapter Eighty-Nine: Jade

Ningxia carefully looked at the clothes on Baili Minghui's body, and when Baili Minghui was about to get angry, he teased: "Lord, is this the dress that the princess made for you?" ”

Baili Minghui nodded and didn't say anything else. Instead, Ningxia said in admiration: "The princess's craftsmanship is really good." ”

Although his face was not obvious, Baili Minghui's heart seemed to be blooming, he glanced at Ningxia, and said lightly: "What are you still doing here?" Have you forgotten what we're going to do today? ”

Of course, Ningxia will not forget, he knows that he is afraid that he will be reprimanded by the prince if he continues to tease, so he hurriedly said: "Master, please go downstairs." ”

Baili Minghui tapped his head with a fan before slowly walking downstairs. After the two of them had breakfast, they walked towards the jade shop that day.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two of them appeared in front of the jade shop that day. It's just that when they looked up at the store, both of them were stunned.

Originally, this shop was a jade shop, but I don't know when it was replaced by a calligraphy and painting shop, and the owner of it was not the original one, but a strange face.

Ningxia was stunned for a long time, as if he came back to his senses, he leaned into Baili Minghui's ear and whispered: "Master, what is going on?" Obviously it was a jade shop before? Why did you change people in just a few days? ”

Compared with Ningxia, Baili Minghui calmed down early, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he didn't pay attention to Ningxia's question, and walked directly towards the store.

Since I don't know what the hell is going on, I just asked. As soon as he stepped into the calligraphy and painting shop, the strange boss greeted him and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the two sons of that day!" ”

Baili Minghui frowned, but he didn't speak, but Ningxia asked first, "Boss, do you know us?" ”

The boss smiled flatteringly and said: "It's really a noble person who forgets things, I'm afraid you don't remember us for a long time, you forgot, you still bought calligraphy and paintings from me a few days ago!" ”

Ever bought calligraphy and paintings? When did they ever buy calligraphy and paintings? Could it be that his own prince bought calligraphy and paintings? However, with this kind of tattered calligraphy and painting here, can the prince also be able to see it?

While thinking about it, Ningxia looked in the direction of Baili Minghui with his eyes, Baili Minghui naturally knew what Ningxia meant, and he said lightly: "Is it?" I don't quite remember. ”

The boss said very enthusiastically: "Of course, Childe, you bought a picture of the three friends of the old and cold at that time, and you were very generous, so the little one remembers it very clearly." ”

Seeing that what he said was true, Baili Minghui no longer refuted, and while pretending to look at the surrounding paintings, he said: "I'm afraid I forgot, shopkeeper, what good paintings do you have here today?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to introduce the two of Baili Minghui, and Baili Minghui pretended to nod his head to cater to him, while carefully observing the surrounding environment.

All the furnishings in this shop are exactly the same as what I saw that day, and the change is just the removal of all the jade objects and the replacement of them with paintings, but what is all this about? Why did a good jade shop become a painting and calligraphy shop?

After the two bought two paintings, they walked out of the store, and while walking, Ningxia kept looking back and whispered: "Master, what the hell is going on?" ”

Baili Minghui whispered: "Don't speak!" Then he walked in front with his legs raised.

Seeing the serious face of his master, Ningxia also knew that the matter had become serious, so he could only follow behind Baili Minghui and walk quickly towards the inn.

After returning to the inn, Baili Minghui motioned to Ningxia to close the door, and he carefully checked the situation outside the window, and then closed the window himself. Ning Xia knew that there must be secret guards around to guard the entire room, so he put his mind at ease and hurriedly said, "Master, what's going on with all this?" Obviously, when we went there before, it was still a jade shop, why did it become a calligraphy and painting shop? Could it be that we are all mistaken? ”

Baili Minghui shook his head, and Zhengse said: "No, everything around that shop is exactly the same as before, but only that jade shop is different, it must be something happened in that jade shop." ”

"Could it be because the owner of the jade shop happened to sell the shop?" Ningxia asked.

"Do you think it's possible? When we went there before, the shopkeeper's business was not bad, so why did he sell the shop? And why was the store sold so quickly? This timing is too much of a coincidence. Besides, the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop said he knew us! Baili Minghui immediately denied this possibility.

This is definitely not a coincidence, but someone deliberately arranged it in order to confuse them.

Thinking of the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop, Ningxia was also confused, and he said with a confused face: "We obviously haven't seen the shopkeeper, but he actually said that we once went to buy calligraphy and paintings?" Could it be that everything I remember before was wrong? Did you buy calligraphy and paintings that day, not some jade? ”

Baili Minghui didn't speak, but took out a jade pendant from his arms and put the jade on the table, which was obviously the jade he bought last time.

"I remember that I was right, but the shopkeeper confused me." Ningxia finally felt a little understood.

Baili Minghui nodded and said: "If I think correctly, this matter must be related to that island, it should be that we have been asking around about that island in the past few days, so that people will know, so we deliberately performed this scene, just to let us know the difficulties." ”

Ningxia finally understood, he nodded, and then asked, "Lord Wang, what should we do next?" ”

Baili Minghui fell into deep thought, one of his hands resting on the table, his fingers lightly tapped. Apparently, someone seems to sense their purpose and wants to stop their actions.

Now that all the clues are broken, and the owner of the only jade shop who can find out the truth has disappeared, it is even more difficult to find out the truth of the matter.

But if you go back like this now, won't it be in vain? Once you leave this place, I'm afraid it will be difficult to strike again.

Thinking of this, he said lightly: "Since someone has found out, then let's be quiet for two days, but the clue has been broken, and the next thing is up to me, and the secret guards will all be sent out to find out the clues of that island as much as possible." ”

Ningxia nodded, there is no other way now but this.

Just when Baili Minghui suddenly fell into a stalemate, the letter he wrote to Jiang Aoxue had already arrived at the palace. When Jiang Aoxue was having lunch, Wanyun walked in quickly and said with a smile: "Princess, the prince has sent a message." ”

Jiang Ao's sleet's hand was stunned, with a confused expression on her face, she looked up at the envelope in Wanyun's hand, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and get it." ”

Wanyun snickered and handed the envelope to Jiang Aoxue's hand. After Jiang Aoxue took it, she didn't care about eating at all, she directly opened the envelope and quickly browsed the contents of the letter.

There are not many words in the letter, which is in line with Baili Minghui's taciturn nature, and the letter first thanked Jiang Aoxue for his kindness, saying that he would definitely cherish this dress, and then explained that she should take care of herself and not be wronged in everything.

The more Jiang Aoxue looked at it, the bigger the smile on her face cracked, although it was only a few lines of letters, Jiang Aoxue still read it several times, she carefully put the letter away and put it back into the envelope.

It seems that he is very happy with the dress, so that she is relieved. Jiang Aoxue's mood became much better, she quickly ran out of lunch, and when she saw the beautiful scenery outside the window, she suddenly had the idea of going out to buy something.

"Wanyun, clean up and accompany me out to buy something." Jiang Aoxue instructed while changing into a decent dress.

Wanyun answered, and soon it was ready. The two of them went out with two guards and walked towards the market.

A few people walked around and soon bought a bunch of things, and just as they were about to go back, a horse-drawn carriage suddenly began to rampage through the street.

The guards protected Jiang Aoxue tightly and carefully observed the surrounding situation. But Jiang Aoxue was watching the situation of the carriage.

The people around were a little flustered, and in the confusion, I don't know what was going on, a little child was actually pushed out and fell straight towards the carriage.

"Be careful!" Even if she watched from a distance, there was no way to reach out to save the child, Jiang Aoxue couldn't help but exclaim. She hurriedly said to the guards, "Hurry up and save that child." ”

One of the guards hesitated, but gave a look to the other guard who was traveling with him, and he jumped to his feet, and rushed to the child's face with two or three strokes, and with a stretch of his long arm, he scooped the child into his arms.

Just when Jiang Aoxue breathed a sigh of relief, the carriage suddenly rushed in her direction. Although he was protected by the guards, the crowd around him still squeezed Jiang Aoxue down at once, and he fell heavily to the ground.

The severe pain made Jiang Aoxue's eyes squint suddenly, the street is not like the palace in the palace, the ground is so smooth, in addition to the mud, there are sharp pebbles on the ground. Therefore, the moment Jiang Aoxue fell, the sharp stone pierced the palm of her hand.

In addition to the wounds punctured by the stones, there were also abrasions that rubbed the ground, and the palms of both hands were all red, and blood flowed in some places.
