Chapter 382: Antecedents and Consequences (3)
Tang Lin's departure made me realize a problem, even if Zimin and I don't care about our own life and death, there will be other people who care for us, although I don't know what Tang Lin is going to do.
On the third day, a guest came to the hotel in Anyi.
Lu Yanqing's visit did not make Li Shentong relax his vigilance, and the main hall of the hotel to receive officials and the study where the side hall is located are still set with traps. And although I have repeatedly stated that since the other party has already made an appointment in advance, he will not carry out the assassination, Li Shentong still set up a sentry around our room and arranged for someone to secretly protect us.
Therefore, when this uninvited guest appeared in front of me and Zimin, we were all shocked, and the trap set by Li Shentong could not be avoided with my and Zimin's skills.
Qiu Budu stood three feet away from me and Zimin, and seemed slightly surprised to see that we could play chess in peace.
I saw that Qiu Budu actually came from Chang'an, and my heart was a little certain, but I didn't say anything, I glanced at Zimin, and slowly fell down.
Qiu Budu looked at it for a moment, and then chuckled like Zhang Wensu, and said, "The catastrophe is coming, and the pavilion master is still in the mood to play chess." The opening was still his true face, revealing a hint of rigidity and coldness.
I also smiled, spread my hands, and said, "There is nothing to do, what does the owner think?" ”
Seeing that I was talking and laughing freely, Qiu Budu pointed to the door and said, "Other people are here too." ”
As soon as my mind moved, Zimin had already asked, "Boss Cao and Sister Yu'er are also here?" ”
Qiu Budu nodded.
I frowned and said, "Qiu Zhuang Master, with the current situation in Luoyang City, even if you come, I'm afraid it's useless, I want you not to interfere in this matter." ”
Qiu Budu said coldly: "I'm not from the Qingyu Pavilion, I don't have to listen to you, someone hired me to kill someone, and now this person is in Luoyang, I will kill people, and it has nothing to do with the pavilion master." ”
When he said this, I was speechless, and I couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false, but he was not like a liar.
Zi Min looked at me and suddenly smiled: "Hate the owner of the village, Zi Min is ashamed, as the first swordsman of the Seven Immortals Villa, he can't share the worries of the owner." ”
When Qiu Budu heard this, he was slightly stunned, he probably forgot about this matter a long time ago, and now he himself mentioned the portal first, wanting to exclude us, and Zi Min also wanted to get involved in this matter.
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled at Zimin and said, "Is Madam going to steal business with me?" ”
When Zi Min heard this, he chuckled and arched his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare, just ask curiously, I don't know who is so fortunate to be able to die under the sword of the owner?" ”
Qiu Budu glanced at me, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lu Yanqing." ”
Zimin and I were shocked when we heard this.
Zi Min said: "Qiu Zhuang master, who is the employer?" ”
Qiu Budu said: "Madame has been in and out of the Seven Immortals Villa for a long time, and she must know the rules of the Villa, and we never ask who the employer is." ”
Zi Min Zhengse said: "Even so, with the wisdom of the owner, can't you guess eight or nine points?" ”
Qiu Budu shook his head and said, "Even if you guess? ”
Zimin wanted to ask again, but I stopped her with my eyes, smiled softly, and said, "Although I may not be as smart as the owner, I also want to guess." ”
Qiu Budu glanced at me when he heard this, but he didn't answer.
I said: "The employer is probably a person from the Seven Villas, and the owner of the village protects the shortcomings, so I don't know if I guess right?" ”
Qiu Budu was stunned for a moment, his eyes were very suspicious, and he took two steps back, and his right hand holding the sword clenched the scabbard.
I knew that my guess was correct, so I smiled slightly and said, "Qiu Zhuang Master, who is he?" ”
Qiu Budu should have thought a lot about it between my smile and question, and he suddenly walked up to me and asked, "The pavilion master suspects that there are people in the Seven Immortals Villa ......" He said this, but he stopped.
I nodded and said, "Who was the person who assassinated Fang Xuanling that day and led the house guards away for the owner?" ”
Qiu Budu said: "What? ”
Zi Min sighed and said, "Somehow, the eldest brother asked the owner of Qiu Zhuang to kill Fang Xuanling, please be known by Lu Yanqing. ”
Qiu Budu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Impossible." ”
Zi Min said: "The person who came here to pass the message to the eldest brother in Luoyang is Lu Yanqing, he is the old acquaintance of the eldest brother, although he is a person from the Shence camp, when we fled south, he took care of him a lot, and he never embarrassed us, but ......" Zi Min said this, and sighed again.
I saw Zimin's gloomy expression, and knew that she was very sad, so I continued her words: "When Yuanji was in charge of Jinyang, he reminded us that Jinyang had mixed with the people of the Shence camp, and he volunteered to go forward, but when he came back, he told me that Yuanji united with Yuwenxin and Xiao Yu to raise troops to rebel, and there was a conspiracy for him to flee to Chang'an, I almost believe it. Later, Yuan Ji was forced by me to tell the truth, and I believed it. When Lu Yanqing came the day before yesterday, he mentioned Fang Xuanling's death, he knew that I had a lot of friendship with his son, Fang Xuanling, and thought that I was ungrateful, so he didn't want to see me. ”
After hearing this, Qiu Budu frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
At this moment, Zimin got up and walked over to me and whispered, "There are people on the roof." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, a voice sounded by the window: "Aren't you ungrateful?" ”
I was shocked, Lu Yanqing had already pushed open the window and jumped in.
It's just that he didn't alarm anyone this time, Qiu Budu looked at him coldly, and the scabbard in his right hand fell to the ground as soon as he turned, and the sword in his hand was faintly glowing with cold light.
Lu Yanqing smiled casually and said, "Thank you for this gentleman for taking care of all the guards below." ”
Qiu Budu didn't pay attention to his words at all, and said coldly: "You are Lu Yanqing." "According to the rules of the Seven Don't Kill Villa, Qiu Budu already knew Lu Yanqing's appearance from the portrait.
Lu Yanqing also glanced at him, nodded and said, "I'm Lu Yanqing, who are you?" ”
For some reason, Qiu Budu saw him like this, but a desolate look flashed on his face.
Seeing that Qiu Budu didn't answer his words, Lu Yanqing turned to me again and said, "I'm here today, and I'm here to find you." ”
I was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you looking for me to do?" ”
Lu Yanqing said: "You said earlier that if you can leave Luoyang alive, you will explain the reason to me. I thought about it, do you want to leave Luoyang alive? I'm afraid it can't be, but I want to know what you can say, and you don't have to wait so long, people say, 'A man is dying, and his words are good', so you might as well say it to me now." ”
Qiu Budu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and shouted: "Curse people to death for no reason, I think you will die first." His words were so cold that there was no trace of warmth, and it was the height of summer, but I couldn't help but feel a chill.
Zimin leaned on me and shook my hand.
Lu Yanqing smiled wildly, pointed at Qiu Budu and said, "You and I have no grievances, why do you want to kill me?" ”
Qiu Budu said coldly: "You don't need a reason to kill. ”
