Chapter 38: Anonymous Letter (Page 1/1)

Yuelai Inn, Old Man Xiao and his wife live in a small courtyard next to the courtyard where Jiang Chuan lives.

Mrs. Xiao leaned on the head of the bed, and Old Man Xiao sat in front of the window, holding a medicine bowl, and was gently feeding his wife medicine.

Mrs. Xiao looked at her husband's gray hair, and a trace of pity flashed on her face.

After feeding the medicine, Old Man Xiao carefully supported his wife's back and let her lie down, covered with a quilt made of brocade.

"It's been a long time since I've lived in a house like this." Mrs. Xiao lay down and looked around the group of rooms and sighed.

"Madam, I am the one who has caused you trouble." Old man Xiao said with a guilty face.

"Third brother, I don't blame you. From the day I married you, I was ready to face anything with you. Although our life is not as good as before, at least we are still together, we still have Ran'er, and I am already very content. ”

Mrs. Xiao put her hand on her husband's hand and said softly with a smile.

Old man Xiao felt the coldness on his wife's hands, and he felt even more pity in his heart.

"Madam, if you take good care of yourself, you will definitely get better. Lang Zhong also said just now, you are overly worried, coupled with long-term turmoil, as long as you recuperate, you will definitely get better. Old man Xiao held his wife's hand with both hands and comforted him gently.

Mrs. Xiao smiled, nodded, and said very obediently: "I listen to the third brother." But he said in his heart: "Third brother, I know my own body best, it's hard for you to coax me with these words." ”

"Third brother, who do you think that Mei Gongzi will be?" Mrs. Xiao said suddenly.

"I can't see the specifics, this person is extraordinary, and the atmosphere of the superior is strong, but he does things in a grand and meticulous manner, and it is very likely that he is a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty, or even a prince of the royal family. Regardless of it, now that the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty has been wiped out by the regent Jiang Chuan, and the emperor has also been imprisoned, even the few surviving ones are unlikely to appear here, so I can't say for sure. Old man Xiao pondered for a moment and said.

"If he is really a high-ranking member of the Ming court, then why does he treat us so favorably? Is it for ......" Mrs. Xiao said here and stopped and looked at her husband.

Old man Xiao naturally understood what his wife meant, thought about it and shook his head: "Unlikely, although Ran Er's appearance is not bad, but I see that Mei Gongzi has clear eyes and a steady bearing, and he is not the kind of womanizer." Regardless of his motives, at least at least he doesn't seem to have any ill will towards us at the moment, you can just recuperate in peace, what is there to do with me. ”

When Old Man Xiao said this, he was calm and light, and he looked extremely calm, just like the sincere and frightened look he had on the City God Temple before.

If Jiang Chuan was here, he would definitely feel that there was something wrong with this old man Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao didn't say anything more when she heard this, nodded, and closed her eyes gently.

Old man Xiao got up and walked to the courtyard, closed his eyes and felt that there was no one waiting outside the courtyard gate, he was a little surprised, shook his head and went into the room on the side.

This kind of detached house is equipped with supporting alms such as a house, a firewood house, a stable, etc., which is convenient for guests to take care of themselves.

……

"Do you think there's something wrong with the Xiao family?" Bai Jinxiu was playing with a gourd-like instrument in his hand, glanced at Jiang Chuan and asked.

"I was just a little strange when I was in the City God Temple, the father and daughter had good martial arts, and they were very calm after the killing, obviously not the first time they killed someone. But this is not strange, after all, walking in troubled times is very dangerous in itself, and killing some thieves and the like is nothing. ”

Jiang Chuan carefully wiped the two-finger-wide soft sword in his hand with a soft cloth in front of the table, and wiped it again.

"Later, Xiao Ran caught Zhang Xianzhong's fine work, and I sent someone to pick up Old Man Xiao and his wife. Although they were nervous, it was definitely not the nervousness of ordinary people who were timid and afraid, but as if they were trying to hide something. ”

When they arrived at the inn, they were very indifferent to the new accommodation that was much more luxurious, and they were not as excited as ordinary people. Moreover, the knife skills shown by Old Man Xiao and Xiao Ran's marksmanship, according to his own words, were handed down because there were people who served in the army on his ancestors. But as far as I know, there is no such knife and marksmanship in the Ming army. So the question is, which country's army are they referring to? ”

Bai Jinxiu put down the gourd-shaped instrument in his hand and said, "You mean they may not be from the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "It's very possible." Judging from their various performances, it is very likely that they are from the Song Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom, which is separated from the Zhongzhou Continent by a Hengduan Mountain Range, and their original identity is definitely not an ordinary person, but a rich family. may have to leave his homeland for some reason and flee his homeland to the Zhongzhou mainland. ”

"Your analysis makes a lot of sense. But at present, it seems that they really have nothing to do with Zhang Xianzhong, and they are really coerced as they say. Bai Jinxiu agreed.

"That's pretty much certain for now. If it were, then Xiao Ran wouldn't have caught that fine work. "Egawa Road.

"So, what is your purpose in helping them and bringing them in?" Bai Jinxiu's eyes flashed, and he looked at Jiang Chuan and asked.

Jiang Chuan glanced at her and laughed: "Are you thinking too much about it, thinking that I am interesting to that Miss Xiao?" ”

Bai Jinxiu smiled lightly: "That Miss Xiao is not bad-looking, she has a good martial arts, and she has a kind heart, if I were you, I would fall in love with her." ”

Jiang Chuan laughed, walked over and gently stroked her white and tender face with a little baby fat, and said, "Are you telling the truth?" If you really think so, then I'll go to Old Man Xiao to propose marriage. ”

Bai Jinxiu glanced at him, knocked off his big hand and said angrily: "Then you go." Maybe someone is still some foreign princess in distress or something, just like you. ”

"I'm not interested in princesses or anything, I have captured a lot of princesses, and there is one in the palace who is working as a maid. I'm only interested in the kind of chivalrous women who like to wear white clothes, walk the rivers and lakes with one person and one sword, and will scold me with righteous words. Jiang Chuan looked at Bai Jinxiu seriously.

Bai Jinxiu's face was ashamed, but she was very useful in her heart, and whispered: "Dignified regent, if you don't learn well, you will cheat girls." ”

Looking at her shyness, Jiang Chuan was also very happy in his heart, and was about to laugh a few more words, but he heard them ringing.

"Childe, someone threw an anonymous letter into the prefect's yamen." It was Ji Biao's voice.

"Come in."

Ji Biao pushed the door in, holding a letter in his hand and handed it to Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan opened the letter and saw that the letterhead was an ordinary letterhead, and the envelope was also an ordinary envelope, without any markings, and it belonged to the kind that could be bought in bookstores all over the street.

There was only one sentence written on the letterhead: "Three days later, the Universiade Wharf outside the city will be a plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain." ”

The words are also very ordinary, decent, and the content also looks cloudy and foggy, and I don't know what to do.

Jiang Chuan stared at that sentence, his eyes flashed, and after a moment, he smiled slightly, knowing it in his heart.
