Chapter 441: Tokens and Secret Books
"Well, you're too smart."
Knowing that people like Xiao Jingxian can't easily hide it, Yue Qianqiu didn't say that he didn't know or beat around the bush. He sat down in front of Xiao Jingxian and disrupted the chess game casually, so he lay on the small square table very unseatedly: "Qing Fengnian thinks that she is a genius junior sister who left the Shengong Gate to go out and walk, anyway, even if it is not, it is the same as the Shengong Gate." ”
"I think it's the same, how can it be that the person from the Shengong Gate on the Beiyan side is not so earnest, and I don't have his handle in my hand, it makes no sense for him to go to great lengths to kill me, and he should know that this kind of painting is enough, not only will he not be able to please the new master, but it is also likely to ruin the good image that he has built up so easily."
Xiao Jingxian ignored Yue Qianqiu's turmoil, rubbed the dark cloud in his hand thoughtfully, and then looked at Yue Qianqiu with a smile.
"However, if a genius disciple who was once born in the Shengong Sect ignores your grandfather's painstaking maintenance of the martial artists, and ignores your kindness to the remaining disciples of the Shengong Sect, and just runs to shoot me with no head and no brains, then do you think that even if your grandfather and grandson have a good image in the minds of martial arts people, there are still people who don't buy it?"
"If you're going to infer the reason for the assassination of you in such a complicated way, then you can do it." Yue Qianqiu seemed to care, holding a cloud and throwing it up and down in his hand, and sneered at each other, "Just like when we went to Beiyan and were coldly looked at, the Beiyan people are also shouted and beaten by everyone in the south, not to mention the King of Jin, a high-ranking official like you?" It's polite to shoot only one arrow at you! ”
"Heh, according to what you say, I will hide my face when I go out in the future?"
"Who let the two countries fight each other, and every time Beiyan fights first?"
"You speak as if Wu Jun is so peaceful. I admit that the Northern Yan fought the first few major wars before, but those small frictions on the border, and even the massacre of the border people, neither the Northern Yan nor the Southern Wu were much better, and how many generals did not have the blood of civilians in their hands? ”
"Therefore, the general trend of the world will be united after a long time, and it is time to reunify!"
After a few words, Xiao Jingxian knew Yue Qianqiu's temper, and he didn't think that he could gain the upper hand by continuing the battle of words. What's more, even if you have the upper hand, it doesn't make much sense.
He casually separated the black and white clouds one by one, and then put them into two different bowls, but said in his mouth: "The dispute between the two countries and this chess game are similar and not like it, like all have to enclose land, and the more land and less land largely determine the winner or loser, but unlike it, the real dispute between the two countries is not as simple as black and white." ”
He raised his head and looked at Yue Qianqiu, and said in a deep voice: "Qianqiu, when I arrive in Jinling, I hope you can help me check the whereabouts of my little nephew." ”
Before Yue Qianqiu could refuse, someone stuffed something in his hand, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a small sheath sword that was no longer than the length of his middle finger. Although it obviously didn't have any lethality, when he pulled it out of its sheath, he saw that this small sword was shining cold, and it was not just a simple ornament. He clipped it between his fingers, made a thrusting motion, and smiled.
"Help you find a nephew...... It's not that it's not negotiable, but if I get so close to you after I arrive in Jinling, those with ulterior motives can't guess that I want to cover up, and there are no three hundred taels of silver here? ”
However, he just replied casually, only to see Xiao Jingxian actually dip his finger in the tea and write on the table. This way of speaking, he is naturally very familiar with it, but at this time, Xiao Jingxian wrote while saying casually: "If you want to clear the suspicion of the little prince of Beiyan, you had better help me with this." ”
However, saying this in his mouth, Xiao Jingxian's quick writing on the table was very different. It is a few well-known and well-known old shops in Jinling - rouge gouache, jewelry and cloth, restaurants and restaurants...... In short, from the transportation dignitaries, the famous ladies, to the industry of inquiring about the market news, it is all available.
After Xiao Jing finished writing first, he erased these words and added a few words: "Show the token, serve you as the master, and don't obey." ”
This is what Xiao Jingxian said before, after sending people to Wu State a long time ago, the situation that was managed? Some of them are still century-old shops, and they have changed owners so silently?
Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but look at the small sword in his hand that he had previously regarded as a plaything or a hidden weapon, thinking that Xiao Jingxian really understood the truth of the eight words that he wanted to take first. This gift is too generous. Moreover, these things were handed over to him, and he had to check whether they were related to the Beiyan spies.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said angrily, "Are you pleading with me, or are you threatening me?" ”
He also put his finger on the teacup by the way, dipped it in the water, and wrote on the table: "Why? ”
This time, Xiao Jingxian did not write, but leaned comfortably on the backrest for a long time, and said slowly: "I can trust you, but I can't trust others, even if your grandfather, after all, is also an old oilman who has been in the officialdom for many years, and he will definitely think about himself first, consider Da Wu, and then me." Xiao Qianqiu, don't forget to bring you out of Shangjing, I can be regarded as helping you. ”
"As if I owe you...... You let me think about it first! Yue Qianqiu replied with this in his mouth, but he saw that Xiao Jing first handed over a red rope, and pointed to an obvious hole that had already been drilled in the hilt of the small sword, so he passed the red rope through the hole, and then tied a knot at the end, and after inserting the small sword back into the small and delicate scabbard, it was hung around his neck.
That's acceptance. He knew very well that Xiao Jingxian proposed such generous conditions, and if he didn't accept it now, people would find a way to drag him into the water in the future, since this was the case, it was better to be happy.
However, his hand was not idle, and he casually crossed a few words on the small square table: "Why didn't you say this earlier?" ”
Xiao Jingxian was still leaning there, and shrugged his shoulders: "I didn't get along with you enough earlier, and I haven't figured out your temperament yet, but now I can naturally trust you." Xiao Qianqiu, people live for a lifetime, they have to leave something, even if your grandfather is a hero who stands up to the sky, he can't protect you for a lifetime, if you didn't realize this a long time ago, what are you doing with the Wuying Pavilion? ”
"Forget about the rest, the next time you call me, please remove that small word first!" Yue Qianqiu sat up straight with a straight face, and said angrily, "You really want to find someone, I don't know how many people will do their best from top to bottom, so what do you have to do with me...... Even if I'm afraid of you, I'll ask those brothers and sisters from other sects and factions to help you pay attention, I can't get a package ticket! ”
"That'll do." Xiao Jingxian smiled slightly, and then he said neatly, "You tell Qing Fengnian, as long as he helps me pay attention, I will write off the arrow just now." ”
"Do your best to take someone else's handle! If you don't have any clues, just a letter, how can people help you pay attention! ”
Yue Qianqiu muttered and got out of the car. However, when he climbed back onto Snow White's horse, he saw the little monkey muttering on the side and Qing Fengnian looking at him at the same time. Soon, the little monkey left Qingfengnian and sneakily pulled his sleeve: "Brother Yue Jiu, I'm a little sleepy, can I get in your carriage and rest for a while?" ”
Stunned, he glanced at the little monkey who was clearly in good spirits, Yue Qianqiu almost wanted to complain and say, if you want to say that you are sleepy, you can yawn, lying is so unprofessional, and it is really inexperienced! But thinking about it this way, he could only bring people to the carriage, and when he saw the little monkey getting on the carriage and secretly made a gesture to him, he was even more helpless.
You might as well be like Qing Fengnian, just say that you have something to tell me, and make so many ghosts!
Yue Qianqiu reluctantly jumped off the horse again, patted his overly clever mount, motioned for it to go by itself, and then entered the carriage. At this moment, he is very grateful to his grandfather for giving him and Xiao Jingxian, these two coachmen who have never been like clay carvings and wood sculptures, making people feel unaware of their existence. When the curtain was lowered and the door closed, he said to the little monkey who was looking around, "Tell me, what's the matter?" ”
The little monkey had also thought about whether he wanted to pull Yue Qianqiu out to talk as if he was celebrating a good year. But with the first time and the second time, it's a bit too conspicuous. He took out two arrows from behind his back and handed them directly to Yue Qianqiu.
Some inexplicably took the arrows, Yue Qianqiu thought that the little monkey would say two witticisms like a couple of arrows, and when he found that from the arrow to the arrow shaft and arrow feathers, all were different, he knew that he had guessed wrong. However, the little monkey didn't speak, and it was clear that he wanted him to find out the name of the hall by himself, so he could only take the fox boy to check it carefully.
In the end, he found that the arrow of Qing Yu Nian was engraved with a word of celebration, and the arrow of a certain junior sister was engraved with a word of congratulations, and he couldn't help laughing out loud. Together, it's a celebration...... How can you look so happy?
But after glancing at the little monkey's tense face, he felt that this little detail would not make the little guy so cautious, and after a little groaning, he checked the arrow again. This time, Yue Qianqiu finally discovered the difference between the two arrows that seemed to weigh about the same. Although the portions are about the same, the center of gravity is different!
When he unscrewed the feather at the tail of one of the arrows with a completely wrong center of gravity, he couldn't help but glance at the little monkey, and when he saw it nodding slightly at him, he knew that he had found the real key. Soon, he took out a piece of silk paper as thin as a cicada's wing, as well as a metal bead, from the hollow shaft.
Apparently, the latter was intended to increase the weight of the hollowed out middle of the shaft. However, after doing this messy design, the previous arrow was still able to come steadily towards the carriage, so that Qing Fengnian was the first to react quickly, which shows how strong the control ability of the archery is. After all, an ordinary archer must not be able to control the arrows of his hands and feet.
Yue Qianqiu weighed the weight of the metal beads, threw them into the purse hanging from his waist first, and then unfolded the silk silk. And at this time, the little monkey who had been honest just now hurriedly came over. Obviously, with people all around, he hadn't had time to see the arrows at all.
On a silk silk about the size of a palm, only two lines of words were written.
Tonight, Weishan Island on Weishan Lake, Phoenix Terrace on Weishan Island, waiting for the big driver.
Such a secret letter without a name, without a head, without a head and no brain, I don't know who to send it to.
Yue Qianqiu turned his head sideways, and saw the little monkey staring at him, and as soon as his heart moved, he asked, "Little monkey, do you want to go?" ”
The little monkey felt that these words were inexplicable, but he didn't expect Yue Qianqiu to ask himself, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes. After a long while, he said categorically: "Master often teaches me that if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will be a tiger!" ”
"That's great." Yue Qianqiu suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes, "I happen to stay overnight at Li Guojian on the shore of Weishan Lake today, and I will leave the matter of going to Phoenix Terrace to you." ”
