Chapter 520: The Next Witch King
"It's fine." Wen Qingzhu squeezed Jasmine's hand and told her not to worry.
She turned her head to look at the other old man and asked, "Lord Tatsuno, we really haven't seen each other for a long time." ”
Long Ye, who was standing in the shadows, walked out slowly, with an almost fanatical paranoia on his face: "Mrs. Pingguohou, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much." ”
Wen Qingzhu could still remain calm when facing Jiang Ziang, but when facing Long Ye, she felt that she couldn't calm down at all.
This man is too dangerous!
"Thank you for your concern, it's just a chance encounter today, it's better for me to be the east, please have a drink." Wen Qingzhu tried hard to whitewash the current tense situation.
The applause sounded again, and Jiang Ziang looked at Wen Qingzhu with admiration: "I was not convinced at the beginning, why does Jiang Yuancheng value you so much, now I finally know!" This kind of courage in the face of danger is not something that ordinary people can have. ”
"Thank you for the compliment! It's just that this night is dewy, if Master Hou can't find me, I'll be worried, why don't we talk another day? ”
Wen Qingzhu moved out of Fu Lie, hoping that Jiang Ziang would be jealous.
But this time Jiang Ziang laughed silently, his smile was extremely weird, with a bad chill of watching a play: "Then wait below, it's better to ask Jasmine to come with me." ”
"Okay then." Wen Qingzhu could only respond with a smile.
Early the next morning, Concubine Luo's people arrived at the door.
Fu Lie turned his head and asked Lu Tao: "Go and see if Madame has returned?" ”
The green pottery was gone, and in less than a quarter of an hour he came back again.
After not hearing the sound of green pottery for a long time, Fu Lie turned around, only to see that green pottery's face was pale, and he handed over a letter in his hand.
"This, this is sent by the porter."
Fu Lie's heart tightened, but he still calmly accepted the letter.
He directly dropped a sentence: "Take care of Brother Yang!" ”
In a Zhuangzi somewhere in the capital, Wen Qingzhu was locked in the house.
Charcoal fiery tea is readily available, and even on the tables on the left and right, there are two vases, in which are two bunches of freshly picked spring flowers.
Wen Qingzhu was restless, she knew that Jiang Ziang was a ruthless person, if she really did something to Jasmine, it would be difficult for Xin Chong to explain.
Looking at the spring flowers on the table, Wen Qingzhu walked over and looked at it carefully.
I found that this bouquet of flowers was different from the one in the Hou Mansion, the flower bones were not large, but the color was very bright.
I smelled the flowers, and there was a special smell of grass.
I don't know why, Wen Qingzhu felt that he had smelled this smell somewhere.
Just as he was thinking, the sound of unlocking was heard outside the door.
Soon, two big men appeared at the door, and an old woman who was over half a hundred years old walked in, holding a porridge and side dishes in her hand.
She put it on the table and prepared to turn away.
Wen Qingzhu hurriedly walked over, pointed to the bouquet of flowers and asked with a smile, "That flower is not bad, is there anything else?" ”
The woman looked at her twice, but said nothing.
When Wen Qingzhu was about to continue, a big man guarding the door said: "Madame doesn't have to waste her tongue, this woman can't speak, you want this flower, she will send it later." ”
The woman pushed her hand away and left under Wen Qingzhu's eyes.
The door was slammed shut, and Wen Qingzhu glanced at the porridge dishes on the table.
Long Ye is not such a careful person, Long Ye pit Wan Concubine and King Chu before, but Long Ye has such a deep connection with the Wu clan in Southern Xinjiang, maybe Long Ye is still the person of King Chu?
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu felt at ease.
But she still didn't quite understand why the people of the Wu clan in southern Xinjiang were willing to obey Wan Concubine's orders?
The stomach growled, and after Wen Qingzhu tested that it was non-toxic, he was relieved to use breakfast.
After eating and having nothing to do, Wen Qingzhu walked to the back of the door.
knocked on the door gently: "Big brother outside, didn't you say that the woman would send flowers?" Why haven't you come yet? ”
There was no response outside the door, Wen Qingzhu thought about it and said, "I have a charcoal fire in the house, aren't you cold outside?" I see you all dressed very little. ”
Still didn't respond, but didn't scold her either.
Wen Qingzhu got up unscrupulously, moved a stool at the door, and began to chat.
"I see that you are all strong, and you look like you have practiced martial arts, how long have you been?"
"Are you hungry? I didn't see you eat it. ”
"The tea here is unpleasant, what do you think?"
……
I talked alone for almost half an hour, and still no one said a word.
Wen Qingzhu was not discouraged, went to pour a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and remembered to continue.
This time, before she could say anything, someone outside suddenly sneered.
Wen Qingzhu listened intently, it didn't look like Long Ye's voice, nor did it look like Jiang Ziang's voice.
"Anyone else outside?" Wen Qingzhu asked softly.
Immediately after, the man's voice rang out again: "Open the door." ”
Wen Qingzhu immediately took two steps back, and then the door was opened, and a man in an indigo shirt embroidered with silver thread bamboo branches appeared in front of him.
Squinting her eyes, she could see the appearance of the person who came.
The distant mountain eyebrows, the red phoenix eyes, the outline is extremely distinct, giving people a warm and unfathomable feeling.
"You ......"
The person who came arched his hand slightly: "In Xialongzhi, Cangzhou people." ”
Cangzhou! 110 eBooks
Isn't that the southern Xinjiang side? At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, Taizu sent the king of Runan to guard it.
The king of Runan has been in Cangzhou for generations, protecting the southwest border until now.
"Young Master Long, please inside." Wen Qingzhu saw between Long Zhi's eyebrows and eyes that he was similar to Long Ye.
If you don't guess wrong, Long Zhi is also a descendant of the Wu clan.
After coming in and sitting down, Long Zhi asked Wen Qingzhu how he felt about living here.
Wen Qingzhu naturally said yes, but at the end he said bluntly: "I have been locked up in this room, and my mood will not be much better, not to mention that my personal maid still doesn't know life and death, and no matter how good the environment is, I can't be happy." ”
"Madame, rest assured, Miss Jasmine has only suffered a few minor injuries and is fine." Long Zhi immediately explained.
Wen Qingzhu's heart relaxed slightly, but his face frowned: "How can it be hurt?" ”
Long Zhi thought for a while, and said apologetically: "Jiang Gongzi's side can only try to persuade him, so I ask Mrs. for forgiveness." ”
"Then maybe take me over to see Jasmine?" Wen Qingzhu felt that this Long Zhi's way of acting was completely different from Long Ye.
"This ...... I'll go and ask, and ask Madame to wait a moment. Long Zhi said this, and really got up.
Before leaving, he also instructed the guards not to close the door.
This made Wen Qingzhu even wonder in his heart, what is Long Zhi's identity in the Wu Clan?
About half an hour later, Long Zhi actually brought Jasmine over, although Jiang Ziang also came over.
"Miss!" The moment Jasmine saw Wen Qingzhu, she immediately ran forward and looked her up and down.
Wen Qingzhu's heart sank when he saw the strangulation marks on Jasmine's neck.
However, she didn't show anything unusual on her face, only pulled Jasmine to sit down and quietly checked her pulse.
After making sure that there was no problem on the surface, she breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Lu Ce had quietly touched the surroundings of Zhuangzi.
After repeatedly confirming that there were traces of Wen Qingzhu here, he immediately released the carrier pigeon.
A quarter of an hour later, Fu Lie's subordinates received the news.
Fu Lie immediately led people to sneak up on Zhuangzi.
In order not to startle the snake, Fu Lie brought all the information about the surrounding Zhuangzi and this Zhuangzi.
With the help of the capital Fu Yin, he successfully found the steward of Zhuangzi.
With the help of Peony, Fu Lie and the others infiltrated with ease.
Inside, the atmosphere was deadlocked.
Wen Qingzhu didn't want Jasmine to leave, but Jiang Ziang was stubborn and didn't give in.
Long Zhi frowned slightly, and said to Jiang Ziang: "I know what you want to do, you are too impatient like this, Pingguohou is not such an easy person to deal with!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a bird chirped from the corridor outside.
Long Zhi immediately glanced at Wen Qingzhu and found that she was still holding on to Jasmine and looking at Jiang Ziang tightly.
He immediately said to Jiang Ziang: "Jiang Gongzi, there are some things I want to talk to you about alone, why don't you listen to me first?" ”
"Young Master Long, I respect you, but it doesn't mean that I have to listen to you, it is already my bottom line to bring Jasmine over to Wen Qingzhu to see."
Jiang Ziang didn't give in, which made Long Zhi a little irritable, how could this person be so stupid.
The birdsong in the corridor became more and more intense.
This caught Wen Qingzhu's attention, and she glanced in the direction of the door: "Young Master Long raised birds here?" This bird's call seems to be a little different from the usual pet bird? ”
Long Zhi did not return to Wen Qingzhu this time, but walked directly to Jiang Ziang's side and said two words in his ear.
Jiang Ziang's face was instantly gloomy, and he looked at Wen Qingzhu resentfully.
But soon, Jiang Ziang still left with Long Zhi.
Before leaving, Long Zhi said to Wen Qingzhu: "Madam, we will have a date later." ”
When Wen Qingzhu heard this, he felt a little strange.
It wasn't until half a quarter of an hour later that the two people guarding the door suddenly fell to the ground and died, Wen Qingzhu immediately got up and pulled Jasmine back.
Immediately after, a familiar figure entered.
He directly unmasked and revealed a familiar face: "Qingqing! It's all my fault! Are you okay! ”
Wen Qingzhu was about to say something when he saw Lu Ce and the others also come in.
Originally, there was something to say, but Wen Qingzhu immediately beckoned Peony to come over: "Come over first to see Jasmine's injury." ”
Peony looked at Fu Lie and saw that he was standing still, so he walked over this time.
After handing over Jasmine to Peony, Wen Qingzhu said to Fu Lie: "It's me who is not good, I make you worried, this kind of thing will not happen in the future." ”
She was desperate to find out Long Zhi's identity, and immediately crossed Fu Lie to Lu Ce: "Master Lu, I have something I want to ask you." ”
"Now?" Lu Ce saw Fu Lie turn around, his eyes looked calm, but the storm contained in it made Lu Ce feel that leaving at this time was not the right choice.
But Wen Qingzhu's next sentence immediately changed his mind.
"It has something to do with Rui'er."
Lu Ce arched his hand at Fu Lie, turned around and followed Wen Qingzhu out.
Fu Lie stood in the house, quietly looking at the door, and finally couldn't calm down.
Coincidentally, Yang Liu hurried in to report: "Master, everything here has been checked, and there are traces of the activities of the Wu people in southern Xinjiang." ”
Fu Lie squinted his eyes and glanced in the direction of the palace, it seemed that things had come earlier than he had imagined.
"Keep looking!" Fu Lie gave the order, turned his head to look at Jasmine and asked, "Who did you see?" ”
Under the corridor outside the house, Wen Qingzhu said the characteristics of Long Zhi, and he could already vaguely order Jiang Ziang.
Lu Ce was silent for a long time before he said, "He should be the next witch king of the Wu clan." ”
