CHAPTER XXXVIII
Yan Shu and Jin Chen made a move, then put down the chopsticks in their hands and walked to the window.
"Where?" Yan Shu looked around.
"Jumped away and went to East Street." He said in a hurry, and he was about to jump from the window when he raised his leg. Yan Shu grabbed her waist with one hand, flew directly to the eaves with her, and the two of them ran all the way to East Street on the roof.
Xue Su was still holding Xiaolongbao in his hand, and said with his mouth slightly open: "Hey? What about Sister Xian Gu and Senior Brother? ”
Yan Yan showed a rare gentle expression, touched her head and replied, "Eloped." ”
"It seems that I still need to practice my light skills." Jin Chen confirmed that he couldn't catch up, sighed, and said, "Come on, pack all this food and bring it back." ”
Tan Xu and Yan Shu ran wildly all the way, during which countless bricks and tiles were flying, arousing many sleeping birds, and finally found Chunqi.
Chun Qi was bouncing forward. She was wearing a new little green dress, and her hair looked like she was dressed up, and she looked much more energetic than before. The strangest thing was that her arms and fingers were able to move, and although they were not very flexible, they were able to hold a flask steadily.
"I don't know if it's my delusion," Yan Shu said as she ran, "how do I feel that her skin looks a little greener than before?" ”
"It seems to be." ”
Chun Qi jumped past a lot of people, but fortunately, the adults thought she was a naughty child, and she didn't know what green things she had painted on her face, and she refused to walk well, jumping and jumping, so no one noticed Chun Qi, a little zombie. Tilt Xu and Yan Shu jumped down from the eaves and wanted to walk over to stop Chunqi, but Chunqi turned left and right, and walked into a deep alley and disappeared. When Yan Shu and Tan Xu continued to move forward along the road, they actually walked to the gate of the palace.
Yan Shu stared at the row of soldiers guarding the gate of the palace, and said in amazement: "Did Chunqi enter the palace?" ”
Qian Xu was also very surprised, thought about it, stepped forward, and asked a soldier who seemed to be very good at talking, "Big brother, please ask, did a little girl in a green dress walk in just now?" ”
The soldier looked inexplicable, stared at him and said, "What are you talking about?" Is there a token? Don't stand here without a token. ”
Tilt Xu hurriedly walked away. Yan Shu stood outside the palace and closed his eyes for a while, then opened his eyes and said to him: "I can't feel it." The little girl is not a living creature, she runs quite fast, and we don't have her hair or anything, so I can't sense her. ”
He frowned and said, "Then, should we quietly go in and find out?" ”
"Better not." Yan Shu immediately said, "I thought I went to the palace to play, but I almost couldn't get out when I went in." There are too many roads, twists and turns, like a maze. ”
When he heard that it was easy to get lost, he quickly gave up this idea.
So the two of them didn't find anything, so they had to go to the palace. Passing by a very high-end looking ready-to-wear shop, Yan Shu's eyes lit up, and he dragged him in.
It was the time of the meal, there were not many people in the shop, and the gorgeous proprietress came over, holding a snow-white shawl in the crook of her arm, and a face with heavy makeup smiled just right, and said in a tactful voice: "Guest officer~ Please inside." ”
Tilt Xu's scalp was tingling with her voice, and she was led into the shop by her hand in a daze, Yan Shu followed behind, his eyes almost glued to Tilt Xu's back.
The proprietress swept her bewitching Danfeng eyes lightly, and she knew it in her heart, and said with a smile: "The guest officer is to accompany the lady to buy clothes, we have any materials and styles in the store, you can choose whatever you want." ”
He was stunned for a moment, and explained aloud: "You misunderstood, I'm not ......"
"Whether it's a skirt or a jacket," the proprietress suddenly raised her voice and interrupted her, "we have them all here, which one does the little lady want?" ”
He waved his hand and said, "No, I don't want ......"
"My lady said she didn't want it," Yan Shu suddenly raised her voice, stepped forward and said, "Do you have anything else here?" ”
Tilt turned her head to stare at him, her face full of incredulity.
The proprietress turned around when she heard this, raised her eyes to look at Yan Shu, and said a little jokingly: "I don't know what the guest officer wants?" And what can be given? ”
Yan Shu took another step forward, got closer to the proprietress and said with a smile: "I can give you what you want, I'm afraid you won't be able to give me what I want." ”
The proprietress tilted her head slightly, then turned her eyes to look at the silent leaning life, suddenly smiled, walked to a chair next to her and sat down, and said casually: "Since I am not here to buy clothes, it is better to sit down and talk about it." ”
The proprietress raised her hand, and the two doors of the ready-to-wear shop automatically closed inward. She glanced at a cabinet beside her, which immediately opened on its own, and a complete set of tea sets flew out, the teacups and trays suspended in the air in an orderly manner, and the teapot flew away for some reason.
"You two, please be seated."
Tilting back, he realized that a chair had appeared behind him at some point.
Yan Shu had already sat down, his fingers crossed on his knees, and nodded to Tilt Xu with a smile, and Tilt Xu Cai also sat down.
Yan Shu said: "I want to come to the boss, you are the 'Tongtian pigeon' here in the capital, right?" ”
"The demonic aura on the guest officer's body is well hidden, and the slave family almost didn't find it. However," the proprietress pursed her lips and smiled, but the corners of her eyes swept to the cheek, and said, "This little lady has no demonic spirit at all. ”
Speechless, he could only smile and remain silent.
Yan Shu didn't want to reveal more information to the proprietress, so he went straight to the point and said: "We came here to trade some information in the capital with you." In the next surname, I don't know how to call the boss lady? ”
At this time, the teapot that flew away flew back again, it flew very fast, and accidentally spilled some hot tea in the process, and the proprietress turned her head to stare at it, so it quickly slowed down its movements, and carefully flew over to pour tea for each teacup.
The proprietress raised her fingers, and the two trays flew to Yan Shu and Yan Xu with their teacups. The tea in the cup was hot, the mist was curling, and the proprietress smiled after a mist of water.
"Young Master Yan, just call me Yingji."
When he walked out of the ready-to-wear shop, he still didn't understand it, and asked a sad face: "What kind of demon is Tongtian Pigeon, why have I never heard of it?" ”
"The pigeon is just a title, not a demon species." Yan Shu explained, "There will be demons in every place where they can live, and among these demons, there will always be one of the most well-informed and omniscient demons in the local area, who we call the 'Tongtian Pigeon' of this place." Usually when we go to a strange place, we will first look for who the pigeon is here, so that we can ask him for help or ask for news. ”
He said, "Oh, that's what it means to be a 'snake on the ground' and 'a jack of all trades', right?" No wonder you're asking her for help, you want to ask her if there's any news of Chunqi, right? ”
"Hmm." Yan Shu said a little worriedly, "Generally speaking, all the pigeon wants is silver, as long as the silver is enough, you can get any news." But this Yingji just wanted three pots of spring water in the village ten miles outside the capital. Alas, we'll have to find the spring. ”
"Tianxian Spring in Liulin Village." After adding, he said curiously, "But, how did you know that Yingji was the Tongtian pigeon of the capital in the first place?" Is there any mark? ”
Yan Shu smiled after hearing this, reached out and rubbed his hair, and said in a doting tone: "Are you stupid? Demons can distinguish different demonic spirits. Although people can recognize demonic qi after cultivating and gaining mana, they can't see the difference between demonic qi and demonic qi. But demonic power. As soon as I passed by the ready-to-wear shop, I felt the demonic aura, not thick, but very miscellaneous, there must be a lot of different demons often come and go here, generally it is the 'station' of the pigeon. ”
Yan Shu's hand was still on her head, gently rubbing her hair. There was a little strangeness in the bottom of his heart, and he looked away unnaturally, and let out an "oh".
However, Yan Shu didn't find it, withdrew his hand and rubbed his chin, and said regretfully: "Alas, I returned empty-handed this time, and I'm afraid I'm going to laugh when I go back." ”
I didn't expect that Yan Shu still cared about Yan Yan's opinion, and listened to Yan Shu and said: "Hey, it's better to buy you clothes, maybe buy a few more pieces of Yingji and give us the news as soon as she is happy!" ”
Poured out helplessly: "Then I'd rather go find the spring." ”
Back at the palace, Yan Yan saw that only the two of them had returned, so he snorted coldly a few times and rolled his eyes. Jin Chen gently asked about the cause and effect, and said that he could send someone to Liulin Village to get spring water.
"That Yingji is indeed different from others," Jin Chen said, and Yan Shu also nodded yes, yes, yes, "I also asked her about some things when I first came to the capital, but the reward she asked for was a handful of dirt on the top of a mountain outside the city. ”
Yan Yan interjected: "That man never takes money, just something strange. ”
Hearing this, he thought to himself: This is also an interesting person, oh no, it should be an interesting demon.
Wu thought about it for a while, came to a conclusion in his heart, raised his head, and asked seriously: "Aren't you demons short of money??" ”
It wasn't until it was dark that Yu Wenwei came out of the palace and got into a carriage and rushed back to the palace.
He was a little tired today, and he had a headache when he thought of those tedious political affairs, but the imperial brother was really in a bad mood today, so he had to come to the palace to approve the documents for him all day.
The approval of the paperwork was enough, but the imperial brother still wanted to sit next to him and watch. Look at it, watch it, but don't say a word. Although he knew that the imperial brother had always spoken little and cherished words like gold, he had not said a word after sitting by his side for so long this time. He knew that the imperial brother must have something in his heart and was not good at words, so he wanted him to accompany him, even if he didn't speak.
Yu Wenwei closed his eyes, thinking about how to share some worries for the imperial brother recently, and he didn't think long before he arrived at the palace.
At this time, Jin Chen, Yan Yan, Tilt Xu, Yan Shu and Xue Su were all at the gate of the palace, and they saw Yu Wenwei with a solemn face mixed with a little tiredness, and when he got out of the carriage and saw Jin Chen, there was only warmth on his face, and he came over and hugged Jin Chen, as if he didn't see others.
He didn't know whether to speak at this time, he was hesitating, and said in a sparse voice: "Hello prince!" ”
Yu Wenhuan was stunned, let go of Jin Chen, and suddenly saw Yan Shu next to him who wanted to speak and stopped, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and almost smiled and said, "Daoist Yun Hengzi? There you are? ”
Qian Xu suddenly felt that this tone was not quite right, and said a little apprehensively: "Yes...... Yes? I'm coming. ”
"Just in time." Yu Wenwei said, "I just need your help. ”
He wondered in his heart, and listened to Yu Wenwei continue.
"Recently, there have been monsters rampant in the palace."
