Chapter 871: Who is she afraid of when she goes to the meeting alone
Self-explanatory, isn't it?
Shen Qiaoan is not afraid of being manipulated, he is currently most afraid of his master being killed, although his friendship with Bu Operator is not very good, but after all, he has recovered part of his memory, and the most important thing is that Bu Operator and Mu Chenxuan have a deep relationship between master and apprentice.
Qiao An approached the carriage and threw a look at Yu Ran, Yu Ran got out of the carriage and the two went far away, she told Yu Ran about it, and after Yu Ran heard it, she said, "What should I do?" Now? β
"Let's go back first, if it's true that Liang Chaoxiong wants to threaten us with Master's life, he will definitely take the initiative to contact us, but don't let Gongzi know the specific situation, so as not to worry him."
Shen Qiaoan is such a person, he will not have much fluctuation when encountering various dangers and situations, and the whole person is very calm.
Yu Ran turned back, forced a smile and said a few words, after Qing Gongzi heard it, he coughed and opened the carriage curtain, his face was extremely pale, especially when he was so photographed by the sunset, that kind of weakness could not be hidden.
Joan approached, "What are you doing out there?" Chilly? β
"I don't want to heal, you don't bother for me." Qing Gongzi's voice was heavy, she was a very smart person, and when a person is sick, she likes to think crankily the most, in his opinion, Shen Qiaoan sits behind everything, the purpose is to cure herself.
"Go back and rest, let's go home."
Over there, Mu Chenxuan was close, this was the first time Qing Gongzi and Mu Chenxuan met, he didn't pay attention to the carriage in front of him all the way, he didn't know that Qiao An had such a great friend, he looked at Mu Chenxuan at this moment, and found that he was seven feet tall, his eyes were bright, and his walking posture was bold, but he was a rare man.
As for Mu Chenxuan's eyes looking at him, it was self-evident, somewhat hostile.
"Who is this?" Mu Chenxuan looked at Qing Gongzi.
"My best friend, Shen Qingnian." Joan introduced the two, and she thought that the two of them would definitely be friends.
Qing Gongzi looks humble and gentle, and Mu Chenxuan, he likes to make friends, but he didn't expect that the eyes of the two were very strange.
That's between rivals.
"You're also a friend of Joan?" Qing Gongzi's face was not stunned, recently Shen Qiaoan went out early and returned late, at first she thought that Qiao An was by Li Zhongxuan's side, he was a dying person anyway, and possessiveness was also declining with the continuous deterioration of his condition.
He hopes that after he dies one day, Shen Qiaoan can return to a better person, as for Li Zhongxuan, what Li Zhongxuan has done for Shen Qiaoan over the years, and Shen Muyang's dedication and contribution to Shen Qiaoan, he has seen them all in his eyes.
I didn't expect Shen Qiaoan to have such a friend.
"I'm not his friend, I'm Joan's brother." Mu Chenxuan hugged Qiao An's shoulder, and Shen Qiao An did not resist.
"My brother, Qing Gongzi." Qiao An smiled, but Qing Gongzi's heart was a little uncomfortable, as if a flat foundation had suddenly collapsed into a corner.
"What brother is not brother, it's a fiancΓ©." Mu Chenxuan straightened his position, Qiao An was stunned, and what else to say, Mu Chenxuan had already turned around and left.
Joan frowned, "You don't listen to his nonsense, there's nothing." β
Coming back from Zhongjing, Shen Qiaoan was waiting, waiting for someone from Liang Chaoxiong's side. Liang Chaoxiong is also cunning, there is no news on the first day and the second day, he is "invited" Bu Operator to "eat tea at home", Bu Operator has a certain friendship with King Yu and Liang Chaoxiong, he naturally will not doubt their purpose.
"This teacup is made of the skull of a helmeted hornbill, and when you eat tea later, if you let him use this, he will be poisoned, although I also know that he is a person who is invincible, but it will also make him uncomfortable for a while, you know?"
Li Zhongxuan unceremoniously threw a wine glass in front of Liu Heng and ordered Liu Heng to do so, Liu Heng was frightened, and picked up the wine glass tremblingly, "My uncle, the skull of this helmeted hornbill is highly poisonous, how can I do such a thing?" β
"According to me, you can't do such things, this helmeted hornbill cup is only one, and today's feast is only once, he doesn't need it, you can use it, you weigh it yourself." Naturally, Liu Heng couldn't sacrifice himself for others, and after weighing it, he decided to let this poisonous wine cup be used by the divination operator.
The helmeted hornbill lives in Yunnan, does not eat grains, likes to eat silver krait and pangolins, worms, centipedes, etc., if the rest of the birds eat these insects and animals are bound to be poisoned, but after the helmeted hornbill eats, not only will not be poisoned, but will also take the poison as its own.
Over time, the poison will condense in the helmeted hornbill's sac, and the bird will ruminate, so that the poison will spread into the skull, gradually staining the entire skull.
Liu Heng held the wine glass made of the helmet hornbill skull, and his hands were trembling violently.
The banquet began, because the fortune operator came from the Taoist temple, so there was no meat dish, the three of them pushed the cup over the lamp, during the banquet, the fortune operator asked Liang Chaoxiong and King Yu the purpose of inviting him here, and Liu Heng, who played the role of King Yu, couldn't answer for a while, but it was Li Zhongxuan, who spoke nonsense with lotus flowers.
"Come, Brother Dao have a drink?" Liang Chaoxiong poured a glass of wine and motioned to Liu Heng next to him to persuade him to drink, that Liu Heng was originally a timid person like a mouse, and secondly, in order to protect himself, he could only persuade him to drink frequently.
As for Bu Operator, although he has a sensitive insight into general poison, the reason why he relaxed his vigilance at the moment is nothing more than because he has been drinking with his friends for many years, who knows that after drinking until the second half of the night, he suddenly feels that his hands and feet are weak.
At first, I thought it was on the head, but I immediately had a premonition that something was wrong.
"King Yu, are you, are you plotting against poverty?"
"Dao Chief, I'm sorry, where am I King Yu! My name is Liu Heng, I'm a fake, an impostor, as for why he poisoned you today, it turned out that he wanted to use you as bait to bully Qiao An and Mu Chenxuan and let them come! β
"Then why didn't you go to Qiao An and Mu Chenxuan in advance, you actually conspired with him to murder me." Bu Operator frowned and glared angrily at the person in front of him.
"I'm sorry, Chief." Liu Heng slammed to the ground, "My family is in his hands, I can't help but do it." β
In fact, how did Liu Heng know that his family had been sent to the palace by Qiao Baoan a long time ago, and now they are still happy.
As for that Liang Chaoxiong, he did something bad himself, so naturally he wouldn't come to see the divination operator, the divination operator has no antidote, even if he has martial arts, it is difficult to perform, and the whole person is extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Liang Chaoxiong was not too embarrassed about the fortune operator, three meals a day would still be delivered, and a special courtyard was opened for him to live in, and a little antidote was also put in the food to ensure that the fortune operator would not die.
When Bu Operator understood these conspiracy, he was in a terrible mood, but he could only sigh.
Qiao An has been so distracted recently that when he arrived in the inner court tonight, Li Zhongxuan asked two questions, but Qiao An didn't hear them at all.
Li Zhongxuan naturally didn't know where Shen Qiao'an had gone this afternoon and who he had met, but he was a little angry when he saw Qiao An's absent-minded appearance.
"I'm going to go to the scene of the crime tonight, and I expect them to act tonight, are you going?"
"I'm not going." Shen Qiaoan has always been a so-called "good deed", and he likes to participate in all kinds of things, but at this moment, he suddenly changed his appearance, which caught Li Zhongxuan off guard.
"Why don't you go with me to investigate?"
"I'm going to get an early break today." Joan muttered.
"Then go and rest after the investigation is completed," Li Zhongxuan turned around and said to the old eunuch Fusheng: "Prepare night clothes, I and An'er will go to Fengtian Street tonight." β
"I," Qiao An didn't want to go, but Li Zhongxuan couldn't help but say that she would arrange it, she could only sigh, and Li Zhongxuan also saw that Shen Qiao was in trouble, and when he asked, Qiao An didn't say anything, but he was anxious Li Zhongxuan.
Around the end of the day, the curfew began, and the lively day of the imperial capital also came to an end, Qiao An and Li Zhongxuan put on night clothes, and the two came to Fengtian Street.
Fengtian Street is very close to Sijiu City, where the royal family and nobles live, in this Fengtian Street, every house is closed in broad daylight, and every household in Yemen can be crowded, let alone after nightfall.
"Did you think they're going to do it tonight?" Qiao An and Li Zhongxuan were lying on the wall at the moment, and Qiao An pointed to the house in the distance.
"I have been supervising for days, and General Cheng said that there have been more small traders and vendors at the door of this house in the past three days, and this group of people looks strange."
Qiao An also believes in General Cheng's vision, as long as General Cheng says "strange", there is a chance that there is a problem.
She just stared into the distance, under the hairy moon, the mansion looked gloomy, but Li Zhongxuan had approached Shen Qiao'an like an octopus, and grabbed Qiao An's hand.
"Ah, what are you doing?" Shen Qiaoan was surprised and looked at Li Zhongxuan in surprise.
"What do you do?" Li Zhongxuan said: "It's not safe here, I'll hold your hand." β
"You're getting too close." Shen Qiaoan felt that Li Zhongxuan had been infinitely close to her, and this intimacy almost made her instinctively red-faced and instinctively repulsed.
She pushed Li Zhongxuan hard, Li Zhongxuan salivated and approached, anyway, it was in the night, why not take a little "color"? When the two were making a fuss, several people covered in black approached the house, and Qiao An disarmed and surrendered, leaving Li Zhongxuan to rub oil.
"Don't make a fuss, the ghost is here, catch the ghost."
"Wait, don't rush." Li Zhongxuan waited for the group of people to fly through the wall and enter the house completely, and then smiled.
The two of them also entered the mansion one step later, and Qiao An lowered his voice and asked, "Whose courtyard is this?" β
"The home of the Hanlin Academy of Sanpin," Li Zhong's declaration was concise: "He has also accumulated a lot of money in the past few years. β
"It turned out to be a corrupt official?" Jo Ann teased.
The two approached the bedroom, which was the north room, and probably the person who was sleeping also felt the danger, and immediately lit a candle, Qiao An saw that the candlelight was bright, and a middle-aged man got up alertly, and a little concubine hugged the quilt in a panic.
"Sir, how do you feel that there are people in the house?"
"What does it feel like not to feel, the master has arrived." Then, the figures of the two men approached the cloud couch, only to hear the girl's "oops", and immediately fell down.
"You guys! You guys! The old man was frightened, "Come on, help!" β
"You people have taken the sweat medicine, we have already killed them, to tell you the truth, I want you to understand, we are the subordinates of the Turkic king, the king of the Khan Liang Chaoxiong wants us to take your dog's life, quickly take out the silver."
The man pointed to the corner of the wall: "It's all down there, dig it and come out." β
Then someone went out to look for a hoe, but Li Zhongxuan didn't answer, he approached the man like lightning, twisted it hard, and the poor worm's neck was broken and fell into the moonlight. Qiao An then went over, and when she looked at it, she found that the person who was blind was a little terrifying, and hurriedly said: "Don't look at me, the hand surnamed Li, what do you think I do?" β
Then the two of them went one after the other. Entering the house, Shen Qiaoan and Li Zhongxuan never dreamed that what happened next was simply a blasphemy of their ingenuity.
