78. Quite hostile
On the 10th day of April, the disturbing light rain finally stopped.
Ling Shaotang was reinstated, and he had sent someone to bring a letter, saying that he was going to Jinguan City on an errand in the near future, and invited him to get together.
Tang Mingqi pinched the letter and read it for a long time, his eyes fell on the cinnabar color at the end of the letter, his eyes sank, and he finally responded. On the same day, he took that Tang Qi and went all the way to Jinguan City with that little guy. Before leaving, he was fortunate to give Su Luan a farewell kiss.
Su Luan, as usual, sent him out of the door, but this time there was a little more reluctance in her heart, but unfortunately she didn't realize it at all.
Tang Mingqi was not there, so Su Luan naturally let go of his hands and feet when he started to do things. For seven days, she stayed in the house, except for eating and sleeping, and worked hard in front of the case all day long.
On the eighth day, the study of the day.
Su Luan sat on the rocking chair, holding a plate in his hand, eating the peach blossom cake of the hibiscus with relish, and swept Xue Zhiyi from the corner of his eye.
I saw that Xue Zhiyi was holding the thin stack of papers, sometimes frowning, sometimes laughing, looking at it, and finally his eyes were red, and he looked resentful: "You are really cold-blooded!" This little lady has lived such a full life, can't she have a fulfillment? ”
Su Luan looked at his appearance in the play, and smiled stupidly: "But for the sake of spectators, don't be a person in the play." Shopkeeper Xue, your way is not enough! ”
"Yes, yes, where can you compare to your stone heart, turning your hands into clouds and covering your hands for rain, there is no human touch at all." Xue Zhiyi glanced at her, and he was quite resentful.
"I was still worried in my heart yesterday, but seeing you like this today makes me feel a lot more comfortable. You let someone send someone to invite that Yin Gongzi, after all, he is an expert! Su Luan's mouth was bulging, like a hamster.
Xue Zhiyi looked at her eating appearance and was quite disgusted: "Your father-in-law treats you harshly, Madame's eating appearance is really not as good as that starving ghost!" ”
Su Luan only snorted lightly, but he didn't care, and still ate his own way. It wasn't until the plate of peach blossom cakes was eaten that he poured down a cup of tea and let out a satisfied sigh.
Xue Zhiyi glanced at her twice and couldn't help but shake his head.
Yin Liang got the letter, and it came quickly, but after a cup of tea, he shook a fan and entered the door.
Seeing Su Luan, he first smiled warmly and said, "Long time no see." ”
Su Luan was relieved by his laughter, but he let go of the previous defense against him for no reason, and responded with a light smile: "Yin Gongzi came quickly. ”
His eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he joked with her: "The beauty has an appointment, so naturally she has to come faster." ”
Yin Liang's eyes carried too many things, Su Luan couldn't see clearly, but Xue Zhiyi could see clearly. His face was slightly gloomy, his eyes became more and more obscure, and he handed the play book in his hand to him: "It's not to invite Yin Gongzi to come today, it's not to talk about the past, oh, this is a play book, and I also ask Yin Gongzi for some advice." ”
Yin Liang raised his eyebrows, and wondered a little about his unwarranted alienation: "Brother Zhiyi, but is he in trouble?" ”
Xue Zhiyi smiled coldly: "I ignore the red dust matter, and the businessman who is not involved in the power struggle, what trouble can there be." ”
"What I said is that Yin is too worried." As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and looked at the play book in his hand intently.
Seeing half of it, he frowned slightly, raised his eyes and asked her, "What is this play called?" ”
"Fake phoenix." Su Luan didn't look at him, his eyes fell on the clusters of cherry blossoms in front of the window.
"Very good...... he didn't know what to think, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he put away the play book, "Mr. Luan Ge really never disappoints, but this play is too ups and downs, and Yin Liang's strength alone is afraid that it will be difficult to complete, so I have to ask Mr. to go to this Jinguan City with him." ”
Su Luan raised his head and looked at him with a little laziness in his apricot eyes: "Jinguancheng? ”
"Exactly, the famous characters of Pingle Hall are all in the theater of Jinguancheng." Yin Liang took a sip of tea and explained generously.
Su Luan lowered her eyes and thought about it, she has been trapped in this place for so many years, and it is good to be able to go out and see the world. Besides, I haven't seen that person for a long time, isn't it that the road is narrow, maybe they can have a chance encounter this time......
"Okay, I'll go with you." She smiled and nodded.
Yin Liang didn't speak again, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth still revealed his emotions.
Xue Zhiyi glanced at him and said casually: "It just so happens that I am also going to Jinguan City to check the accounts, so let's go together......
Su Luan's eyes were full of joy when he heard this, but Yin Liang's originally bright eyes suddenly dimmed by two points.
Early the next morning, the sky was clear and cloudless, which was a good weather for going out.
Su Luan rarely wears grease powder on weekdays, and even his jewelry is just a few hairpins with plain patterns. A small bag with two changes of clothes in it. Dressed in men's clothes, travel light.
Xue Zhiyi and Yin Liang waited at the door, Sanhe sat behind the horse's buttocks, with a grass hanging from his mouth, and his calves swaying and humming a small tune.
As soon as she came out, her mouth was open enough to stuff a fist: "This...... Madame, you are ......."
"You can't call me Madame, you have to call me Master!" Su Luan raised his chin.
The two people in the car listened and lifted the curtain. I saw a young man in a green shirt standing under the car, with very delicate eyebrows.
Xue Zhiyi smiled helplessly: "You are really caught off guard all the time!" ”
Su Luan was not modest: "Surprise! I knew it was going to scare you. ”
As he spoke, he took his hand and jumped into the carriage.
This Jinguan City is not far away, and it is not close to it. The fast horses have to walk for most of the day, but their slow carriage has to go for a whole day.
By the time they entered the city, the city was already full of lights, and there were many guards wearing armor at the gate of the city.
Su Luan is a little strange, the security of this Dajin is so good, there is no war and no rogue bandits, and the "special police team" is blocked at the gate of this city.
Seeing her eyes falling on the outside, with a puzzled expression, Yin Liang explained: "It's not like this on weekdays, I heard that the fief is restless, and some fine works have mixed into the city, so it has been martial law for a few days." ”
Su Luan was stunned.
After a while, the carriage stopped, and Sanhe said outside: "Yin Gongzi, Pingle Pavilion has arrived." ”
Yin Liang was stunned for a moment, turned his face to look at Xue Zhiyi, and said with a bit of gritted teeth: "Shopkeeper Xue is really thoughtful!" "Throw him here, do you think he won't be able to take the person in front of him?!
Xue Zhiyi didn't smile: "Where is it, it should be." ”
"Mr. Luan Ge wants to go with Yin? At this time, it was lively, and the theater had not yet ended, so it was just enough to have some fun. Yin Liang invited her with a smile.
Su Luan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the corridor with red lanterns hanging outside: "Forget it today, after sitting in the carriage all day, the bones will fall apart, and I will come to look for my son early tomorrow morning." ”
The smile on the corner of Yin Liang's mouth faded: "It's okay, rest early." ”
He stood with his hands in his hands and watched the carriage disappear into Suzaku Alley.
In the car, Su Luan moved his somewhat tired shoulders and asked meaningfully, "Shopkeeper Xue seems to be a little hostile to Yin Gongzi......"
Xue Zhiyi chuckled, he knew that this person couldn't see clearly, and he was obviously pretending to be stupid. He simply didn't go around in circles, and responded, "Well, it's quite hostile." ”
Su Luan: "......"
This answer is too unconventional.,I shouldn't mean to say a word.,How can you see something! He was so honest that she couldn't even ask.
In fact, for Yin Liang, Su Luan could more or less feel the deep meaning in his eyes. Probably since he knew that she was Luan Ge, he seemed to treat her a little differently. But she has become another wife, and he may appreciate it on a whim, just like those wife fans who shout every day that they want to marry idols.
The carriage made a few turns in the alley, and after about half an hour, it stopped in front of a clean mansion. The courtyard of Sanjin is not big, but it is also exquisite. The yard is elegantly and cleanly arranged, with rockery ponds and small bamboo forests, where the wind blows and the bamboo branches sway.
Su Luan patted him on the shoulder: "I can't see it, you are still an invisible rich businessman with a lot of interest!" ”
"Seeing a smile and laughing, Xue has always been low-key." That's really shameless.
There is a housekeeper in the house, and a few rough mothers-in-law, who are responsible for sprinkling flowers and plants on weekdays.
Su Luan was settled in the west wing, adjacent to the bamboo forest, with shadows in front of the window, and the rustle of the wind blowing leaves. She lay under the covers and quickly fell asleep.
That night, a red-billed pigeon landed in front of the window of a flower building in the east of the city.
A piece of jade wrist stretched out from the hanging window, and with a slight hook of his hand, he took the bamboo tube from the pigeon's feet.
"Master Ling, Ah came in." As she spoke, the woman leaned into Ling Shaotang's arms as soft as a bone, a pair of soft lips gently caressed his chest, and the lilac tongue occasionally swept over his ears.
Ling Shaotang put his arms around her thin waist, shook the letter paper in his hand, and glanced at it.
The subordinates are incompetent, the people have committed suicide by swallowing poison, and there is no news about the defense map.
At this moment, there was a soft sound outside the door, his eyes suddenly darkened like ink, turned over and pressed the person in his arms on the couch, buried his head between her fragrant neck, gently gnawed on her ear bones, and the warm breath blew into her ears, "Tomorrow Vice President Zhang will come, you can help me try him, if there is anything different, give him a ride." ”
"Uh-huh......"
Seeing a figure flashing outside the window, the woman on the couch stopped, turned over, rode the person under her, gathered her clothes, and got off him.
Ling Shaotang looked at her with a wry smile and shook his head helplessly.
Between him and her, there has never been anything to do with Fengyue. He came this time to inspect the case files of Jinguancheng in recent years. Behind the scenes, he received a secret decree to investigate the theft of the defense map from a month ago.
Although this Jinguan Castle is not a military main, it is the important place to protect the troops in Kyoto. The theft of this defense map has a wide range of relations, from the general and deputy general to the escort patrol, and no one can get rid of it. In the barracks, there are a large number of people, and it is difficult to investigate them one by one. What's more, the meticulous work is very shrewd, and he picks those who don't show their faces on weekdays to replace them.
Now that the meticulous work of the thief is dead, this defense map is even more nowhere to be found.
It's really nerve-wracking!
