Chapter 772: Tracking
Gu Qinghan's body was soft and warm, but Qi Ning felt the panic in her heart from her trembling, and couldn't help but hug him tightly, but this time Gu Qinghan didn't push him away, and her body was close to Qi Ning's arms, as if hiding in Qi Ning's arms, so that the fear in her heart could be alleviated.
The faint fragrance that permeated from Gu Qinghan's body penetrated into Qi Ning's nose, making Qi Ning's admiration for her fill his heart here, and he couldn't help but raise his hand, caressing Gu Qinghan's soft black hair, and said softly: "Everything will be fine, with me by your side, don't be afraid that someone will hurt your ......!" ”
Gu Qinghan's soft delicate body trembled suddenly, as if she thought of something, she immediately broke free from Qi Ning's arms, Hua Rong looked frightened, turned her head left and right to look at the front and rear windows, and then patted her chest, her chest shook for a while, but her expression was very serious, and she said in a low voice: "Ning'er, don't stay here anymore, leave the ...... quickly!" ”
Qi Ning also seemed to realize something, and asked in a low voice, "Sanniang is worried that someone is telling you?" ”
"You've been in my house for too long." Gu Qinghan said softly: "You go back first, wait..... I'll talk to you in a few days. ”
"When?" Qi Ning knew that Gu Qinghan was urging him to leave, firstly, he was really worried that if the two of them stayed too long, they would be secretly told to Mrs. Tai, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he also wanted to think about it alone.
Today, Qi Ning understood the cards and clearly informed that he had gained insight into Mrs. Tai's arrangement, Gu Qinghan was naturally shocked in his heart, and he would inevitably panic, of course, his mood at this time was very complicated, and he needed to calm down and have a good idea.
Qi Ning also knew in her heart that Gu Qinghan's current mood was extremely contradictory, and from the concern she occasionally revealed to herself, Qi Ning could be sure that Gu Qinghan did not have the intention of harming herself, but in the face of Mrs. Tai's power, Gu Qinghan couldn't help herself.
Although the old woman is indeed eerie, Qi Ning still doesn't understand why Gu Qinghan has such a deep fear of her, it is fear from the bones, Qi Ning is showing her a card today, he hopes to draw her to his side and join forces to deal with Mrs. Tai, but now he is worried that once the night is long and dreams are too much, Gu Qinghan will not reveal today's events to Mrs. Tai because of the fear of Mrs. Tai in his bones.
"You go first." Gu Qinghan was weak, and said with a wry smile: "Even if you don't think about it, you should think about yourself." ”
Seeing her helpless expression, Qi Ning sighed lightly and said, "Sanniang, what we said today, you don't want Mrs. Tai to know." Leaning close to her ear, he lowered his voice and said, "That old woman uses you as a tool to spy on me, if she knows that I already know this secret, the first suspicion is that you reveal it, I am afraid that she will be unfavorable to you." ”
Gu Qinghan's delicate body trembled, bit her lip, and said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, today's ...... I wouldn't say it to anyone. You..... Take my words to heart, and at any time do not mention your mother, not a word. Seeing Qi Ning nodding, he was slightly relieved, looked left and right, and was very vigilant, so he said in a low voice: "If it is..... If I can't go and tell you myself, and you see someone bringing you red date porridge, then ..... So that night you ..... Come quietly, be careful not to be seen by anyone. ”
Qi Ning nodded, knowing that the red date porridge was the signal of the next secret meeting, and knew that it was indeed not good to stay here for a long time, so he pointed to the lunch box on the table and said, "You get up and eat something by yourself, don't ..... Don't starve yourself. ”
Gu Qinghan pushed Qi Ning's arm and said, "You go quickly, I know." ”
Qi Ning went out at this time, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he saw Bingqiao guarding the edge of the courtyard gate, thinking that Gu Qinghan would leave this maid by his side to serve, this girl should be regarded as Gu Qinghan's confidant, but people's hearts are unpredictable, so they still have to be more vigilant, and when they walked to the edge of the courtyard gate, Bingqiao had already saluted and said: "Master Hou!" ”
Qi Ning put his hands behind his back, glanced at it, showed a gentle smile, and asked, "Bingqiao, how many years have you followed the third lady?" ”
Bingqiao lowered his head and said, "Back to Master Hou, the slave maid followed the third lady to the Hou Mansion four years ago. ”
"Four years ago?"
"I used to accompany the third lady to marry and serve the slave's cousin." Bingqiao explained: "Later, when she got older, the third lady asked her to marry someone else. The cousin was worried that there was no one to serve the third lady, so when the third lady returned to her hometown that year, the cousin asked the slave maid to follow the third lady. ”
"I see." Qi Ning bowed slightly, thinking that the maid beside Gu Qinghan was really brought by herself, it seemed that Gu Qinghan had long been wary of the people in the Hou Mansion, so he brought someone from his own family, and immediately took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and handed it over, Bingqiao hurriedly said: "The slave doesn't dare." ”
"I usually like clothes, so I go and buy two of them." Qi Ning said: "I know that you are reluctant to spend the monthly money of welfare, this is what the Hou Ye will reward you, and serve the third lady well in the future, as long as you serve well, there will be a reward." Forced into Bingqiao's hand.
Bingqiao held it in his hand and thanked him: "Thank you Lord Hou for rewarding, the slave will definitely serve the third lady well." ”
Although Qi Ning took out a piece of broken silver casually, it was nothing to Qi Ning, but for a maid, it was a lot, which was a few months' monthly money.
Qi Ning knows that buying people's hearts doesn't have to be flattering, giving tangible benefits, even if the other party doesn't do things for you, at least try his best not to hurt your business.
Out of Gu Qinghan's courtyard, Qi Ning put his hands behind his back and walked slowly along the bluestone path, seemingly leisurely, but he was watching and listening to all directions, and after only walking for a short distance, he vaguely noticed that in the nearby small forest and behind a rockery, there were people poking their brains to look over.
Qi Ning sneered in his heart.
In the past, he was in the Hou Mansion, and he really didn't pay attention to whether there were people around him to monitor him, after all, there were many people in the Hou Mansion, more than 200 people up and down, and people walked near him every day, so he couldn't pay attention to the movements of those servants nearby, and he never cared.
But now he was cautious and noticed that there were people watching nearby, and only then did he know that after he entered the Hou Mansion, he was afraid that he had been under the eyes and ears of Mrs. Tai all along, Gu Qinghan was not only coerced by Mrs. Tai to monitor his actions, but there were also other people in the Hou Mansion who were also paying attention to their movements.
He knew that since he was being targeted, Gu Qinghan was also being targeted.
I always thought it was the safest place, but now I know that it is the most dangerous place, and the gloomy and strange atmosphere of the Buddhist hall seems to have spread to every corner of the Hou Mansion.
Qi Ning couldn't help but think in his heart, since there were often people nearby who monitored his actions, would his previous ambiguities with Gu Qinghan also be known? Did the old woman in the Buddha Hall already know about her underground affair with Gu Qinghan?
Thinking that he would be monitored in this Jinyi Marquis Mansion in the future, Qi Ning was nameless in his heart, and sneered in his heart, secretly thinking that since Lao Tzu inherited the title of Jinyi Hou, this Jinyi Marquis Mansion naturally belongs to Lao Tzu, since he has occupied the name Qi Ning, Lao Tzu will completely occupy the magpie's nest, and finally completely control the Jinyi Hou Mansion in his hands.
If you want to make the Jinyi Marquis Mansion your own hand, you naturally have to control the weird old woman, but the old woman is not clear, and she can't act rashly at the moment, so she can only be patient for the time being, and wait until she understands the power in Mrs. Tai's hand, and when the time comes, she will make a move.
He knew that the day he figured out the details of Mrs. Tai might also be the day to solve Liu Suyi's riddle, he was patient and didn't have to be in a hurry, now it was imperative to win over Gu Qinghan and join forces with him.
As the sun set, Ximen Zhan Sakura was dressed in casual clothes at this time, sitting at a table in the scallion oil noodle restaurant, waiting anxiously for the arrival of the old beggar.
Yesterday she made an appointment with the old beggar to meet him in this noodle shop at the same time today.
She naturally got the news that Duan Shao really pleaded with the emperor for marriage in front of the civil and military officials, and the subsequent development was the same as she thought, the emperor finally made a decree, three days later, he would compete in front of the palace.
After she learned the news from Ximen Wuji, she didn't even say a word, and when the time came, she immediately came to the noodle shop and waited.
I don't know why, in Ximen Zhan Sakura's heart, she even felt that the old beggar was more reliable than her father this time, and she could only rely on the old beggar to get through this difficult time.
The last ray of sunshine finally set, the sky was dark, Ximen Zhan Sakura frowned, was worried that the old beggar would not be able to go to the appointment, suddenly saw a beggar holding a broken bowl, holding a wooden stick in his hand, walked into the noodle shop, looked around, Ximen Zhan Sakura saw a beggar appear, originally refreshed, but saw that the beggar was in his early thirties, not the old beggar he was waiting for at all, and suddenly a little depressed.
The beggar walked to the side of Ximen Zhan Sakura and stretched out his hand holding the broken bowl, "Girl, it's good, enjoy the food and .....!" ”
Ximen Zhan Ying was already a little anxious and upset, seeing this beggar begging for a reward, he frowned, but he thought of the old beggar again, thinking that the old beggar was the leader of the beggar gang, and this beggar was only afraid that he was also a member of the beggar gang, so he took a few copper coins and put them in the broken bowl, and the beggar looked left and right, and then said softly: "Is the girl waiting for someone?" ”
Ximen Zhan Ying was stunned, and the beggar had already said, "Follow me." Without saying a word, he turned around and left, Ximen Zhan Ying hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that the beggar had already walked out of the door, he still got up and quickly followed.
The beggar's feet are not slow, and he walks quickly along the long street, and Ximen Zhan Ying wants to keep up several times, but the beggar turns east and west, is very flexible, and walks for a while, but it is becoming more and more remote, and suddenly hears a scolding voice behind him: "Damn, do you have long eyes, you can't be blind." ”
Ximen Zhan Ying immediately turned around, but saw that not far behind him, a beggar who came out of nowhere was grabbing the arm of a man in a gray shirt and shouting loudly, and there was a man in a brown shirt next to the man in a short shirt, who was looking at him, and when he saw Ximen Zhan Ying stop and turn around, the man immediately turned his gaze.
Ximen Zhan Sakura's eyes flashed coldly.
She was born in the Shenhou Mansion, and the scene in front of her instantly understood that the two men in short shirts had obviously been following her behind her, she had been restless, only remembering to follow the beggar in front of her, but ignoring being followed, if it wasn't for the beggar jumping out,
