Chapter 85: The Pearl of the Night
"You are...... Who wants to see me? Wu Tianxiao looked at the people standing on the dock.
"Didn't Miss Jing tell you? My name is Zhulian. "It turned out to be a woman.
"You...... Give me the letter. ”
Zhulian took a few steps forward and stretched out her hand, and Wu Tianxiao took the letter.
"Please be sure to transfer it to the royal family of Xiaohan Country."
Wu Tianxiao did not answer, and left.
After Zhulian saw Wu Tianxiao leaving, she walked through several alleys and came to the agreed location.
Jing Qiushui was really waiting for her there.
"Done?" Jing Qiushui asked.
"The letter has been given to him."
"Done?"
"That's right."
"Then why did you ask me to meet?"
"Of course it's important."
"What's the matter?"
"I'd like to ask you to take this."
Jing Qiushui turned around.
In Zhulian's hand, there is an extra green jewel the size of an egg.
"What is this?"
“…… The pearl of the night. ”
Jing Qiushui looked at this night pearl, crystal clear, and it was a first-class product at a glance.
"Miss Jing, this night pearl is not easy to come by, even if it is my sincerity."
"If you don't know what to do, you don't have to give it to me."
"Hehe, I still think it's more appropriate for you."
“…… What do you mean? ”
"If any corrupt official is allowed to take it, I will not want to."
Jing Qiushui smiled bitterly: "It turns out that Miss Bamboo is still a person who likes redistribution." ”
"I don't have a good impression of the kind of corrupt people in power who don't understand the suffering of the people, and only know how to eat, drink and have fun."
"Even so," Jing Qiushui looked at her, "you shouldn't be stealing anything valuable." ”
Zhulian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again: "Haha...... How do you know I stole it? ”
"Could it be that I really got it right?" Jing Qiushui said, "As an ordinary informant, how can you have such a treasure? ”
"Can't an informant have treasures? Can't she give it to someone she appreciates? What is your reasoning? ”
"I never doubted your reasoning, I just didn't want to collect ill-gotten gains."
"Ill-gotten gains?" Zhulian smiled, "Hahaha...... Miss Jing should be an official, and now the world needs a clean official like you who is not greedy! ”
"You seem to be very interested in this topic, and you always talk about it."
“…… Did I say something wrong? ”
"No, maybe you're right."
"Of course."
"You...... Is it for Yunni or for Xiaohan? ”
"How can you ask such a childish question, unlike you, Miss Jing."
"It's weird to tell me this
I haven't known much about you. Jing Qiushui said, "When ordinary people talk about this, I will know a little bit about it." ”
"Know me? You don't have to. We're on a mission. ”
“…… However, I don't know which side you are on, how can I trust you? ”
"Trust as you want. This is your question. ”
"My problem?"
"I've said enough...... The pearl of the night is here, do you want it? ”
"How can I just take something from an unknown source?"
"Why are you so cautious in front of me?"
"Shouldn't it?"
"Even if I say it's a legitimate origin, you don't believe me, do you?"
"I didn't say that."
"Miss Jing, Zhulian, I've never said so much to others, but if you don't trust me, then I can't help it."
“…… I'm just trying to figure it out, and I don't mean anything else. Our mission relationship cannot be interrupted. ”
"Of course it can't be interrupted."
"You don't have anything to ask about me?"
"Do you want me to ask?"
"It's not."
"yes, you've been asking me questions all the time? I didn't doubt you. ”
"Really?" Jing Qiushui looked at her suspiciously, "You were thinking about it in your heart, but you didn't say it." ”
"Hehe, you said it for me. There is a difference. I didn't say I didn't trust you or anything. ”
"Aren't you saying it now?"
"Does it matter? I really have to thank you for what you did. ”
"That's why I want to find out where you stand, otherwise I wouldn't even know which side I've helped."
"It's painful to know too much," Zhulian said in a chuckling voice, "I don't know too much like this, and I'll do the rest, aren't you enjoying the greatest benefits?" ”
"You seem to know everything, much more than I know."
"Hehe, if Miss Jing wants to work for us, she just needs to apply."
"For you...... Who is it referring to? ”
"Sure enough, I still talked too much."
"Don't get to the point."
"Sure enough, I still piqued your interest."
"Bamboo Girl...... I...... Never mind. ”
"What's wrong? Why do I think you don't believe me anymore? ”
"I don't mean that......"
"You shouldn't ask me so much, or I'll think you want to join us."
"I don't even know who you're working for......"
"If you really want to know, come with me."
"You...... Strange, how can we talk about this? ”
"It's not because you won't
Obediently accept this pearl of the night! ”
Jing Qiushui raised his eyebrows: "But such a valuable thing ......"
"You are equivalent to saving the lives of the royal family of Xiaohan Country." Zhulian put the night pearl in Jing Qiu's sailor's hand.
"I just put you in touch with an informant...... I can't accept such a valuable gift. ”
"You better take it, since I gave it to you, this is also the sincerity of our cooperation."
"Bamboo Girl......"
"If you don't take it, I'll doubt you." Zhulian said, taking a step, "Besides, I still trust you more than that informant." ”
Jing Qiushui looked at the Night Pearl in his hand suspiciously, and then put it away.
Jing Qiushui walked out of the dark alley and came to the place where Jin Jiao and Wu Tianjun were waiting.
"Look at this." Jing Qiushui showed them the night pearl in his hand.
"Wow-" Jin Jiao exclaimed first, "Even in the Qilin Palace, the Night Pearl is not common." ”
"I think this pearl of the night has an extraordinary origin." Jing Qiushui said.
"Wait...... Such a big one, is it ......" Jin Jiao said.
"Jin Jiao?" Jingqiu Waterway.
"I think I saw this ...... when I was a child," Jin Jiao said, "This is a gift from the Qilin Palace to the prince of Xiaohan Kingdom." ”
"Really?" Jing Qiushui looked at the Wu brothers in surprise.
"When you say that, it's really like ...... This is my birthday present when I was seven years old. Wu Tianjun looked at it carefully, and then said.
"You...... Are you sure? Jing Qiushui was surprised.
"Qiushui, how can you have this?" Wu Tianjun asked.
"This is ......" Jing Qiushui didn't want to mention Zhulian, "a thank you gift from one person to me." ”
"Such a valuable thank you gift? It can't have been stolen from the Cold Country, right? Wu Tianjun looked at Jing Qiushui, "And then he framed you?" ”
"I don't know." Jing Qiushui looked at Wu Tianjun, "If you want it, I'll give it to you." ”
"No, I'm not unfamiliar with this." Wu Tianjun said, "Since it is a thank you gift, you can dispose of it at will." Anyway, as a prince, I don't lack any gold, silver and jewelry. ”
"However, hasn't the royal family of the Xiao Han Kingdom been in turmoil recently?" Jing Qiushui showed a worried expression.
"That shouldn't have come to the point where the kingdom has fallen." Wu Tianjun said.
"Do you know," Jing Qiushui said to him solemnly, "Tianxiao received a secret letter today about the dynamics of the royal family of the Xiaohan Kingdom. And this night pearl is a thank you gift to me in order to repay me for saving the royal family of Xiaohan Country. ”
"That's ......" Wu Tianjun looked at the pearl of the night, "It looks priceless." ”
Jing Qiushui put away the night pearl.
"Tianjun, what kind of turmoil will there be in the royal family of Xiaohan Country? What is the level of crisis? DID YOU KNOW? Jing Qiushui asked.
"I don't know that well. However, I'm here in the cold
The informant of the country," Wu Tianjun said, "The affairs of our palace are mainly the eldest brother who is responsible for liaison. ”
"Shouldn't it be serious enough for you to go back to the Cold Country?" Jin Jiao looked at Wu Tianjun.
"If it's that serious, my informant should have informed me." Wu Tianjun said, "It's not that serious now, is it?" Gillian don't worry. ”
Jing Qiushui felt that Wu Tianjun was pretending to be an optimist, so as not to worry Jin Jiao.
“…… This night pearl is too valuable, I must ask. Jing Qiushui said.
"So, Sister Qiushui, will you still go to find the person who gave you this night pearl?" Jin Jiao asked.
"Of course." Jing Qiushui said, "I always felt that she was always running away from my problems and seemed to want to lead me in other directions." ”
"Then since Tianxiao is not here, it would be better for me to act with you," Wu Tianjun said, "You are carrying such a valuable thing, it will be bad if someone hijacks you." ”
"I'll go with you," Jin Jiao said, "and if anyone is injured, I can save someone." ”
"But, now that it's getting dark, let's go back to the inn. I'll go back to that guy tomorrow. Jing Qiushui said.
"Yes." Wu Tianjun agreed.
The three of them returned to the inn together.
When Jing Qiushui returned to her room, she rested for a while and regained her strength and energy.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
"Who?"
"I'm Tianjun."
"Oh, it's Jun, come in."
Wu Tianjun pushed open the door and walked in gently.
He came to Jing Qiushui's side and sat down.
"Is there anything wrong with you?"
"Do you know a lot about the Xiao Han Country?" Wu Tianjun said in a low voice.
"I'm not familiar with my informant at all, she's always mysterious." Jing Qiushui said, "We only have strict mission exchanges, and there is no other contact. ”
"I see, that's ......" Wu Tianjun looked a little disappointed.
"You look a little disappointed, Jun." Jing Qiushui said to him, "Why, can't your informant provide you with the latest information on the Xiao Han Country?" ”
"Yes, we can, but we can only see each other once a month, and I want to gather more information."
Jing Qiushui listened quietly.
"And I think Brother Xiao is hiding something from me."
