Chapter 32: Complex Relationships
Nanshan Temple is the symbol of this city, built for a hundred years, and has been repaired countless times by later generations. Although it can no longer be restored to its former magnificence, the vicissitudes of precipitation brick by brick make it look thick and awe-inspiring. Night Feather felt that this place was much better than the Imperial City, because it was luxurious on the outside, empty on the inside, and everything was as fragile as a mirage.
"Girl, take the medicine."
Night Feather retracted her gaze and placed the silver tael on the table.
The shopkeeper handed over the medicine he had grasped and saw that Ye Yu's clothes and jewelry must be either rich or expensive, so he said a few words of advice uneasily. Ye Yu listened very carefully, but because he had never done it before, he didn't understand the shopkeeper's first sentence after listening to it for a long time.
She thanked her as if she didn't understand, took the medicine in the shopkeeper's distrustful gaze, and just as she was about to leave, she thought of something and turned around and asked, "Does the shopkeeper know Cui Yan?" He owes me money, but I don't know where to look for him. ”
"Cui Yan?" The shopkeeper's expression looked strange, and he looked out of the door and got closer to Ye Yu, "The girl is not from Nanping at first glance, and now who in Nanping doesn't know that half of the land in the north of the city was bought by Cui Yan in the name of others, and it is said that she raised eighteen concubines." Let me tell you, almost every day, there are people who ask him for accounts, either they can't find anyone or they are taught a lesson and are injured. Girl, I advise you, don't ask for this money. ”
Ye Yu had already slashed Cui Yan with a thousand knives in his heart when he heard about the eighteenth concubine, and it was difficult to grow up to be such a scumbag.
"He's so rich, why don't you pay it back?"
The shopkeeper waved his hand: "If you want him to pay, it is better to ask for his life!" In Nanping, who doesn't tell him as a joke? However, he still has some ability, and he has made Qingheju's shop here look good, but he can't make up for the face he lost. ”
Ye Yu smiled: "There is Nanshan Temple, are you still worried that the thunder will not strike him one day?" ”
"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper also laughed, looked at the direction Ye Yu left and said to himself, "This girl looks noble, it's really interesting." ”
Ye Yu walked all the way, and what she saw the most in the streets and alleys was the pattern engraved in the lower right corner of the signboard representing Qingheju, which was quite exciting to say, but thinking about it carefully, the money and silver that Cui Yan handed over every six months under the premise of such a scale made her have a kind of "why didn't he die". She picked a pastry shop under the name of Qingheju, went in and sat on the chair to learn the shelves on the children of the imperial capital, slapped the silver on the table, and said, "Pick a few of the best and most expensive things and wrap them up, hurry up." ”
This trick really worked, and immediately someone ran forward and backward, and it took less than a cup of tea to put things in front of her. She didn't appreciate it very much, and asked with a smile: "So fast?" Come, to be honest, isn't there someone from above? ”
"This, this ......"
Ye Yu didn't wait for him to finish "this", and walked out without squinting at his things, leaving a room full of clerks looking at each other in horror
When they returned to the inn, they were all resting. She went around to the back kitchen, and the cook, who was preparing lunch, threw away the kitchen knife as soon as he saw her, and left backwards while saying "You're busy". Night Feather was a little inexplicable, how she didn't know when she was scary.
She put down the medicine and was about to rummage through the cabinets to find the medicine jar, when Lin Chen's faint voice sounded in her ears: "I'll help you." ”
It's good to have someone to serve, but who can tell her when he's standing by her side?
"You go and rest, I'll send it to the divine power after the medicine is decocted." Lin Chen found the medicine jar and put it on the stove, and seeing that Ye Yu had no intention of leaving, but studied the structure of the stove with great interest, she also went.
Lin Chen opened the medicine bag, looked at the medicinal materials inside and sighed: "Miss Night, this medicine is good, but if you drink it, I'm afraid that your face will grow a bag." ”
Night Feather was stunned for a moment, pretending not to hear. Lin Chen smiled, and as if he hadn't said anything, he picked out the medicine inside. Ye Yu had been quietly observing him, and was surprised to see that he was working very neatly, but in the end, what came to his lips became: "You still know medical skills?" ”
"It's not as proficient as supernatural powers." Lin Chen glanced up at her and said with a smile, "But it's definitely enough to take care of you normally." ”
Ye Yu raised his eyebrows, found a clean place to sit down, clenched his fists, and said with a calm face: "Say, what else I don't know?" ”
"Are you taking me with me just to test me, how boring is it to say it all at once?" Lin Chen is serious.
Ye Yu felt that it made sense: "Then let you go today." ”
Lin Chen didn't answer again, squatted down, his eyes resting on the burning charcoal fire, the scarlet fire made his eyes flicker. He didn't know what Night Feather had to do with him, he only knew that someone was singing a big drama in order to connect him with her. Obviously, although the woman next to her didn't know the details, she had already seen the clues. As soon as he came out, he planned it, but it was unexpected by him.
Night Feather picked two oranges from the bamboo basket and threw one of them to Lin Chen. Without hesitation, he peeled it off, put one in his mouth, and his brow furrowed with a sour bite. Ye Yu hooked his lips and patted him on the shoulder: "Young Master Lin Chen, at least in terms of eating, you are not as good as others." ”
Imperial capital.
Zhou Wenxuan walked through the alley for a long time, and finally found the mansion in front of him. The gate was closed, no sound could be heard, and it didn't look like a human being was living here from anywhere. The people sent here have been staring at it for a long time and have not found any anomalies, so this place has been excluded in the first place.
He knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time. He took out the note that the dark shadow had placed at the door last night, and after making sure that the address written on it was correct, he went around the side door of the house and climbed over the wall.
Before he could stand still, he heard footsteps coming towards him. He hurriedly hid behind the rockery, and when someone approached him, he covered the visitor's mouth, and the dagger had already pierced him in the abdomen. He was just relieved, but the bound man grabbed his shoulder with one hand, threw him over the shoulder and threw him to the ground, and he fell down due to the loss of strength.
This movement had already alarmed the patrol guards, and judging by the footsteps, there were at least a dozen people. Zhou Wenxuan didn't have time to think about it, and immediately climbed over the wall. When the leader of the guards arrived, he saw only his own man lying on the ground, breathless, and the delicate dagger stuck in his abdomen.
The leader squatted down, his eyes keenly caught the word "Zhou" engraved on the hilt of the knife, and immediately ordered: "Pass the book to the lord, and everyone else will evacuate immediately." ”
"So what to do here?"
"The Lord has said that if anyone breaks in, there will be no tile left in this place."
