Chapter 24 Attempted Remedy
Lu Kai now understands that the roast chicken is their code, and the answer is very wrong, if he is saying something wrong, who knows if Qi Ying will kill him on the spot.
"Who are you!" The three words kept echoing in Lu Kai's mind, and it could be judged from these words that Qi Ying decided that Lu Kai was not an envoy.
Lu Kai's mouth was closed very tightly, because he didn't dare to talk nonsense, thinking about how to answer in order to make Qi Ying suspicious.
Lu Kai hesitated to answer, and the tip of Qi Ying's sword was nearly an inch, "Who are you!" ”
Lu Kai was tense like a string, and suddenly spit out three words: "He is dead"
Lu Kai can only say this, if he doesn't have a password, he can't pretend to be an envoy, only by making up a brand new can he convince Qi Ying, since he wants the code to be right, then it means that the two sides don't know each other, and if they don't know each other, they just limit their appearance, and their identity must be known.
At that time, Dai Qian was too anxious, and he didn't have to ask anything urgently, and the envoy died.
Lu Kai guessed at that time that King Tuoba Rui of Wei still had someone in Beishu, but he didn't expect that this person would be Qi Ying, and he was also a member of the City Defense Division, so from this point of view, Qi Ying would have been in Bei'an for at least a few years or even longer.
Qi Yingjing's eyes did not relax, and he stared at Lu Kai, "Dead?" ”
Lu Kai's brain teaser turned rapidly, trying to say it clearly and concisely, and at the same time it should be reasonable, "Yes, the envoy is dead, I believe you also know that not everyone in the court agrees to the peace talks, this time there are four people on the road to send the book of peace, I am the last one, if it weren't for General Fang to rescue him on the road, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter Bei'an"
It is normal to be cautious and cautious on the way to change four people to deliver and books, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard gate, Qi Ying stared at Lu Kai tightly and put away his sword.
Passing by the gate of the courtyard is a team of guards, after Lu Kai was assassinated, there were already patrols cross-patrol, the guards passed by someone to take a look inside, saw Qi Ying and Lu Kai standing opposite each other as if they were gossiping, and they didn't pay much attention to it and went straight forward.
Qi Ying's sword is sheathed, with his thumb against the gauntlet, as long as his thumb is flicked, the sword can be unsheathed in the blink of an eye.
What Lu Kai said was reasonable, Qi Ying refused to be gullible and asked, "Even so, how can you not know the code?" ”
Lu Kai couldn't say anything about this anyway, but there was another explanation: "I don't know what the code is, the envoy was highly poisoned when he connected with me, and he forced his breath to see me, and only told me to be sure to deliver the peace letter and I was already out of breath."
Qi Ying still didn't believe and asked, "Poisoning?" What poison is there? ”
Lu Kaidao "I don't know much about poison, I only see blue lips"
Qi Ying pondered Lu Kai's expression and asked, "Where is the corpse?" ”
Lu Kai replied, "Buried in the crested forest"
The crested forest is twenty miles away from Bei'an City, and Qi Ying is asking, "Where is it buried, don't you mind if I go and see?" ”
Qi Ying is really quite difficult, what is the use of dying and dying, Qi Ying has asked Lu Kai and has to answer, "It was late at night, and the book was important, so I buried it in the forest near the entrance, and drew a sword on the tree as a mark, thinking that I could take him back when I went back."
Seeing that Lu Kai said in such detail, Qi Ying's caution eased slightly, "I'll go and see, you'd better not lie" Qi Ying turned around and left.
As soon as Qi Ying left, Lu Kai was naturally in a hurry, thinking about leaving the pawn office immediately, but if he wanted to go out today, it was not as good as before, how could the assassin guard who came to the door last night dare to let him out casually.
The guards didn't let Lu Kai go out until Fang Wenhou came over and asked, "Brother Lu, why is he in such a hurry to go out?" ”
Of course, Lu Kai has to find a way to contact Dai Qian, and if he talks so much nonsense in front of Qi Ying, he must do things practically, if Qi Ying goes to the crested forest and can't see the body, he comes back and asks where there is still the power to return to the sky.
Fang Wenhou came over, and Lu Kai had already thought about his words, "There are some things to go out."
Fang Wenhou asked, "Where to go?" I'll go with you."
Fang Wenhou was not an ordinary guard, if he was exchanged with him for meeting Dai Qian on the street that day, he would definitely not have a chance to speak.
It's just that when I went out, I didn't go directly to find Dai Qian, because I didn't know where Dai Qian was located, Lu Kaidao said, "It's not a big deal, I just want to buy some kites"
Fang Wenhou Qi said, "Kite? ”
Lu Kai explained the reason, "There is a custom in the Southern Wei Dynasty, as long as you are lucky enough to escape the robbery, you must buy a kite to fly and thank God for your favor."
The custom is that Lu Kai is talking nonsense, in fact, it is to inform Dai Qian, Lu Kai and Dai Qian said that when he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he asked him to use the kite as a signal, hoping that Dai Qian could see it, and at the same time he could understand his hints.
The customs are different in various places, there is no such statement in Northern Shu, and it is not clear whether there is a Fang Wenhou in Southern Wei, but Lu Kai escaped the disaster of blood and light last night, and it is reasonable to do this.
Fang Wenhou didn't hesitate to smile, "I didn't expect Brother Lu to believe in such a thing, this is a trivial matter, you don't need to go in person, let people buy it."
Lu Kaidao "I'm tired"
Fang Wenhou asked, "Brother Lu later, this will let people buy it, but how many do you want to buy?" ”
"Eight, the redder the color, the better"
It didn't take long for the two guards to come over with four red swallow kites each, Lu Kai was very happy to get the reward for the guards, Lu Kai asked them to fly kites in the courtyard, two in each of the four directions of the southeast, northwest and south, and after the kite was lifted into the air, the line was cut and the kite was blown away.
Seeing the kite flying high, Lu said happily, "Dai Qian, don't let me down"
Dai Qian is actually not far from the Pawn Office, and now the location is a few streets away from the Pawn Office, Dai Qian doesn't know when Lu Kai will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking about buying the kite first.
Dai Qian held a kite between his two fingers, and walked leisurely to the teahouse, if Lu Kai did not have special instructions, he seemed to be idle, although he came to Bei'an to do a fateful thing, he should relax when it was time to relax.
Dai Qian just arrived outside the door of the teahouse, saw three five or six year old children playing a game of catching stones, Dai Qian thought that he was like this when he was a child, how could he have thought that he would live such a life of licking blood now, looking at the playboy and sighing in his heart, "I hope you grow up to be a peaceful and prosperous world, and you don't have to live a life like ours"
Just as I was about to enter the door, I saw three children pointing to the sky and shouting, "Look, there are so many kites in the sky"
Dai Qian raised his eyes and looked, a flute, but no, there were eight red kites flying in the sky in his direction, although they were in four directions, but the wind direction changed, and they all flew to Dai Qian's side.
Seeing the kite Dai Qian with a smile on his face, it was also good to see the eight kites flying down together, and he didn't care about turning around and stepping into the teahouse at the moment, and suddenly his brows sank, and he said uncertainly, "Red kite?" It can't be such a coincidence, is he's looking for me? ”
It's daytime, and Lu Kai will look for him at this time? Dai Qian thought about it, whether it was or not, he had to go and see, if he didn't go, it would delay things, Dai Qian gave the kite to the three children "to you"
The three children happily took it.
Dai Qian is familiar with the road to the back wall of the Pawn Office, there are people standing guard outside the back wall alley, the blue sky and the day are difficult to hide people's eyes and ears inside, Dai Qian can't help but be anxious in his heart, "How to get in in the daytime?" ”
It's not okay to break through, Dai Qian pondered for a moment and came to a gambling house, there were three ruffians squatting outside the door outside the gambling house, Dai Qian stepped forward, "Do you want to make some gambling money?" ”
As soon as they heard that there was a gambling book, the eyes of the three dejected ruffians suddenly lit up.
What Dai Qian asked them to do was very simple, that is, to lure away the two guards guarding the back alley, and it was the easiest thing to lure people away.
A ruffian said to the guard, "Zhang Sitou, when will you pay the wine money you owe?"
One of the guards said, "Who is Zhang Sitou, go and go, recognize the wrong person"
The ruffian saw that there were two guards in the back alley, although the gambling book given by Dai Qian was in hand, but who disliked the money, and looked at the money bag on the guard's waist, and the ruffian suddenly grabbed the guard's money bag and ran away.
The guards were frightened and shouted in pursuit, and the two guards tried to chase after them, but the ruffians were more cunning than the loaches, and they could not be easily caught.
Dai Qian saw the guards leaving, and hurried in through the back alley without stopping.
Lu Kai flew the kite for a long time, Dai Qian didn't come from it, he was so anxious that he couldn't stop plating, Dai Qian jumped into the back window at this time, saw Lu Kai's face was anxious, and hurriedly said, "It's really you looking for me"
Lu Kailai was not in a hurry to explain, and asked, "What do you do with the corpse of the envoy?" ”
Dai Qian heard Lu Kai say this in advance, and said strangely, "Ask what to do with this, I'll bury it, don't worry, no one will find out"
Lu Kai made a long story short, "I just want people to find out, quickly, dig up the body of the envoy and bury it under the tree near the entrance of the crested forest, make it a sign of poisoning, and mark it with a sword on the tree."
When Dai Qian heard that Lu Kai was going to dig up the body, he was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" Who do you want to find out? ”
Lu Kaidao, "I don't have time to say more, are you in a hurry to go, Wen Lushan is still outside the city?" ”
Dai Qian smiled, "He was originally outside the city to pick you up and save the prince out, but the prince has not left the city yet, so he is outside the city"
Lu Kai nodded and said, "You quickly contact Wen Lushan and ask him to remove the body to the crested forest, go quickly"
Dai Qian had never seen Lu Kai so urgent, and he knew that the stakes were so important that he didn't ask "I'll do it now"
Dai Qian hurriedly jumped out of the back window and ordered things, but his hanging heart did not let go, and now it only depends on whose side luck is on.
