Chapter 69: Secret Conversation
It was in the dead of night, Luo Gan didn't dare to walk quickly, but he was very anxious, and he walked quickly in small steps, following the people in the mansion, all the way to the side house of Du Mansion.
Du Langzhong was sitting in a precarious position, making tea alone to relieve his difficulties, only lighting a lamp, and no one else was arranged beside him.
As soon as he saw Luo Gan's Golden Gate, Du Langzhong signaled Luo Gan to keep quiet and not make a noise. After the guidance is over, return to your house to rest.
Luo Gan looked at Du Langzhong unharmed, and after going around a circle, he was very excited to see an acquaintance who could speak, but he still held his mood and cautiously approached Du Langzhong.
"It's okay to wait for you," Du Langzhong was the first to speak, breaking the silence in the room and inviting Rogan to sit beside him.
"Lang Zhong has always been cautious" Luo Gan said with a little dissatisfaction, verbally complaining that Du Langzhong was beating around the bush and meeting in such a big circle.
"Hey...... But now, you have been rewarded by the whole city, and you should be more cautious than the old man. ”
As he spoke, he poured tea into the teacup that had already been prepared for Rogan, and when Rogan picked it up, he smelled matcha, and took a sip of the taste was light, it should have been brewed for a long time.
Luo Gan realized that Du Langzhong wanted to see him, and he drank tea alone until now, and he chose a home remedies not to attract attention, even if the lights were turned on at night, he would be considered to be a subordinate and had nothing to do with him.
"It's because I'm not cautious and misunderstand Du Langzhong's good intentions!" Luo Gan made a fool of himself, and he made a compensatory to Du Lang.
This move made Du Langzhong very relieved and waved his hand.
"It's okay, you don't have to take it to heart." Through the light, I can see the wrinkles on the old man's face, and I don't know if it is sad or the years are urging people to grow old.
It has been a while since the last time Du Langzhong arranged the work of Han Chong and the three of them, and Luo Gan remembered that he had not visited Du Langzhong since then, and the other party was interested in helping him.
Luo Gan was a little depressed, but it had nothing to do with what he was going to talk about with Du Langzhong now, so he had to keep the depression in his heart.
"Lang Zhong may have heard someone say that I came here for Liu Shilang."
"Brother Liu was killed, and it is known inside and outside Anping County."
Du Langzhong held the table with one hand and shook the teacup with the other, I don't know if there was no turmoil in his heart or if he had other plans, Luo Gan still couldn't figure it out, at least for now, he couldn't see what his position was.
"Since Liu Shilang and Du Langzhong are close friends, should you find a way to help him?"
The teacup fell on the table, and Du Langzhong's eyes were full of helplessness.
"If the county order arrests people, I may still have a way, but this time it is the assassination of Shi to arrest people, I am a small man, I don't have much real power, what can I do to manage the granary!"
Luo Gan fell to the ground with a stone at the bottom of his heart, but what fell down was not peace of mind, but worry. At present, there are only a handful of people who can rely on him, and there are even fewer people who know the truth.
"Lang Zhong! Doctor...... You can't just give up, who else can save Liu Shilang but you? ”
Du Langzhong sighed, watching the painting on the wall illuminated by the moonlight, a freehand flower and bird jumped on the paper, and Luo Gan also followed Du Langzhong's line of sight to see this painting.
"This painting is made by Brother Liu, who was full of poetry and books when he was young, and was talented. A person who is responsible for not being able to do anything to deceive the king, I definitely believe that he has been misunderstood. ”
Luo Gan nodded again and again, at least what Du Lang was thinking was exactly what Luo Gan thought.
"Now this incident has a great impact, and there are other hidden secrets, I am also very worried about Brother Liu's situation, but what puzzles me is why Lu Tingshi arrested Brother Liu?"
"Does he have some tricks? The son of the Liu family is also a romantic and talented man now, but he is a little bohemian, will he touch the powerful? ”
"I think it should have something to do with Wang Xianling, I heard about your little thing, since you came today, I think you must have something to tell me" Du Langzhong's words turned, the moonlight sprinkled on the ground, Du Langzhong's face was firelight on one side and moonlight on the other, which made Luo Gan unable to figure out the principle of yin and yang, can Du Langzhong in front of him be trusted? If you say your own words, will it make the situation more dangerous?
Rogan looked around the Du Mansion and there was no one in the courtyard, except for the rustling of snow falling from the rooftops. In the silence, there is a strong sense of uneasiness and confusion.
Anyway, if you don't trust Du Langzhong, then coming tonight will definitely be a bamboo basket for nothing, and no ally will be able to move forward, and it will be even more difficult to fight against Lu Jianshi and Wang Xianling, and you will inevitably lose with your bare hands. I think that if I exchange information with Du Langzhong, maybe I can also gain some trust, so that the other party can give me some information or help.
"Don't hide that Du Lang has been hit," Luo Gan's tone was very firm, not as cautious as he had been in the previous temptation, "Sima Mansion is what I brought people to." ”
Du Lang stroked his beard, tilted his head back slightly, and stretched out his body to lie on the chair.
"Sure enough......"
"I brought the person here, but I don't know who is the one over there to report the news."
"It should not be an accident that Wang County ordered a net to be laid and a large number of arrests were dispatched to catch them quickly."
"Yes, there must be someone watching, or a spy denounces."
"I'm curious, outsiders in Sima Mansion are never allowed to enter, how is Sima County's health?"
Luo Gan paused again, thinking quickly about how far he should talk to Du Langzhong.
"Inside......" Luo Gan spoke in a pause, not very coherent, "Sima County Decree is not inside, and the room is empty. ”
Du Langzhong was shocked and puzzled.
"No one? Why should no one send someone to guard it? What's the secret inside? ”
"I haven't figured it out yet, but I've found something. First, there is "Anping County Chronicles" in it, which records the incident of rat monsters in Anping County decades ago, which surprised me; Second, I found some clues on how to resolve the ice and snow disaster in the county. ”
"Could it be that there are really winter flowers?"
Luo Gan was stunned, he didn't want to talk about winter flowers, he just wanted to say that there were some clues, and Du Langzhong took the lead in saying that winter flowers were very surprising to Luo Gan.
"Haven't found ...... yet But how does Lang Zhong know? ”
"It seems that the dispute between Lu Tingshi and Wang Xianling is precisely because of the winter flower, it is said that if you get the winter flower, you can live forever, and the two of them have their own ghosts."
"Can winter flowers live forever? Strange, isn't it an auspicious thing to resolve the snow disaster? ”
"According to legend, this flower grows every two hundred years, and when it grows, it will cause ice and snow to freeze, and it must be picked when it blooms, otherwise it will enter the next reincarnation, and it will be immortal after picking, and it is said that you can live forever if you get it."
Now that he understands the true face of the winter flower, Rogan is even more hesitant to tell anyone that the winter flower is already in his hands, and this white and flawless flower seems destined to be dyed with mundane desires, and it must not be stained without being stained by the mud.
