Chapter 26: The Situation of the Enemy and the Enemy (2)
"Miss Ke'er, this is a letter from the trustee of Guangling Yingchun Building......"
When an assassin from Dongling handed the letter in his hand to [Mirage] Qin Ke'er, Qin Ke'er's beautiful eyes seemed to have a bit of a different color.
...... sent from Guangling
Obviously, I have instructed those sisters not to contact me without authorization unless it is important, so as not to arouse suspicion, could it be that this letter is very important? Or was it [their] who sent it at all?
Just when Qin Ke'er wanted to take it apart to see what was going on, she saw Xie An coming in, still sitting in the wooden wheelchair, pushed by the Four Heavenly Kings of Dongling, and came in coincidentally and coincidentally.
Qin Ke'er's hands lightly tore off the cover slightly, but there was no surprise on her face, she knew that she was completely under Xie An's surveillance in front of her, although she didn't know how many Dongling assassins or Jinling assassins were secretly peeping at her, but she dared to conclude that the number of these people would definitely not be small.
"Master......" Qin Ke'er pretended to be surprised and happily called, because she was bought by Xie An, her title was very different from Gou Gong and others.
"Ke'er, I also ignored it, you were in a hurry that day, so you couldn't say goodbye to your old sisters......" Waving his hand to send Gou Gong back, Xie An chuckled and said, "Ke'er, don't blame the mansion!" ”
"Where did the master say, the master rescued the little slave from the sea of suffering, from the threat of those Guangling assassins, the little slave is grateful, where do you dare to complain?" Seeing the unpredictable Gou Gong withdraw from the house with his fists clenched, Qin Ke'er greeted him with a smile, pushed Xie An's wheelchair to the table, and poured him a cup of fragrant tea with his own hands.
"Yes, that's good......" Xie An smiled slightly, took the tea and took a sip. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the letter on the table, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Ke'er's popularity in Guangling is really good, we are only three or two days away from Guangling, and there are old sisters who miss Ke'er and write letters to greet ......."
Sure enough, it was for this letter!
Qin Ke'er knew in her heart, but there was no difference on her pretty face, and she was both shy and sighed when she heard the words. "Earlier, those Guangling assassins regarded the little slave as [strange goods] and asked the little slave to collect money for him, and the little slave had nothing to ......do on weekdays except to talk about his friendship with the sisters in the building," she said, and she generously opened the letter in front of Xie An.
"......" Xie An was stunned when he heard this. It seems that Qin Ke'er not only did not hide it, but generously opened the letter in front of him and began to read.
Under Xie An's gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, Qin Ke'er, who was reading the letter, frowned slightly, and sometimes stretched his face, which made Xie An secretly feel a little surprised.
After a long time of incense, Qin Ke'er chuckled, shook his head and said. "What's the important thing to do in the slave return the road, I don't want to be just some trivial things......" As she spoke, she handed the letter in her hand to Xie An.
"......" Looking at the letter close at hand, Xie An frowned slightly.
Let's be honest. He really wanted to take it and see what was written in it, in fact, he came this time just for Qin Ke'er's letter. But now that Qin Ke'er took the initiative to hand it to him for reading, Xie An had some planning.
It was a letter from Kerr's old sisters. How could I read it without permission......"
Listening to Xie An's insincere words, Qin Ke'er secretly pouted in her heart, but her face was full of shyness and whispered, "Where does the master say, the whole slave is the master's ......" As she spoke, she squatted down and half-leaned on Xie An softly.
Boy......
Seeing Qin Ke'er's charming and beautiful face, Xie An secretly took a breath of cold air, only to feel a burst of impulse in his heart.
"In that case......" Nodding with satisfaction, Xie An took the letter and scanned it carefully.
As he expected, the whole letter only wrote some innocuous things, nothing more than what the weather was like on a certain day, what interesting things happened, but it was a large article about the friendship between sisters at the beginning, to be honest, if it wasn't for the important information that might be hidden in this letter, Xie An didn't bother to read this kind of daughter's letter.
Is it just a common correspondence between daughters' families?
Or is there any special technique required to read this epistle?
"......" Xie An slowly raised his hands holding the letters, and looked through the letters towards the window that shone in the sunlight, and when he found that there was no interlayer in the paper, he frowned and lowered his hands, and slowly rotated the papers.
Qin Ke'er saw all this clearly, she once thought that only that Gou Gong was suspicious of her, but it turned out that it was not that Gou Gong who was difficult to deal with, but the one in front of her, Xie An, who bought her whole person with a lot of money.
What a bad boy who is difficult to deal with, thanks to the old lady serving him in a low voice these days, and even, seeing that his leg injuries have not healed, she serves him with her tongue regardless of face......
Thinking of the sleeping in the past few nights, Qin Ke'er felt depressed in his heart.
However, Qin Ke'er also knew that her song was not completely fruitless, at least in her opinion, her low-voiced service really made Xie An's attitude towards him in front of him seem a little dilemma, on the one hand, he was infatuated with her beauty or service, and on the other hand, he was afraid of her identity.
No, the current relationship between the two is clearly that of master and servant, but in fact, they are testing each other, and only the jealous little girl will feel that her brother Xie An is completely fascinated by Qin Ke'er, but Qin Ke'er understands that she has not been able to completely grasp this man's heart.
Xie An, the secretary of the Criminal Department of the Jijing Imperial Court, the husband of [Yanhu Ji] Liang Qiuwu and [Ghost Ji] Jin Ling'er in [Four Ji], is the husband of Xiangyu, the eldest grandson of [Who" who is not in the [Four Ji], but has enough talent to compare with [Si Ji], and even surpass [Si Ji], if he is so easily deceived by her beauty, even Qin Ke'er himself can't believe it, this man is used to seeing the master of stunning women!
"Kerr has such affectionate sisters, I'm really happy for Kerr......"
After tinkering for a while, Xie An pretended that nothing had happened and returned the letter in his hand to Qin Ke'er.
Hum!
Qin Ke'er laughed secretly in her heart, she knew that the man in front of her couldn't see any clues from that letter, not that there was nothing wrong with that letter, in fact, Qin Ke'er saw through at a glance that the letter was actually not sent by her under the Guangling Yingchun Tower. It was a letter from the Taiping Army that contacted her, and as for what was written, Qin Ke'er still needed to read it with the help of a special tool to know.
But then again, Xie An's method of checking the letter did make her secretly frightened, the previous method of looking into the sunlight was put aside for the time being, and the later method of rotating the letter to read it had also been used before, but fortunately this time it was not this trick. Otherwise......
Thinking of something wrong, Qin Ke'er was really frightened into a cold sweat.
Gently pinching Qin Ke'er's soft cheeks, Xie An said with a smile, "Then let's do this first, Ke'er will rest in the house for a while." There's something going on on my side......"
"Is this going to leave, master?" Qin Ke'er looked at Xie An with a pair of watery eyes, Rao is Xie An's stability is good, and it can't be said that he is completely unaffected.
Sure enough, it is a rare stunner, like a demon, and the temptation is not inferior to that of Xiangyu's woman, and what is even more rare is ......
Maybe I thought of some kind of fun in the bed, Rao is still daylight at this time. Xie Anxin couldn't help but feel a kind of impatience.
No, no, I promised the little girl that I would take her to the market later, and the little girl has been quite jealous lately. If she didn't coax her well, she might really ignore herself when she was angry, well, wait until the evening to concoct this goblin surnamed Qin......
Wait a minute......
I turned my wheelchair and came to the door. Xie An's heart suddenly moved, and he turned around and said with a chuckle. "Ke'er, I'm going to go to the market later, inspect the livelihood of the people in the city, and take that girl around what delicious and fun places by the way, if you have nothing to do, why don't you go with me?"
Qin Ke'er naturally knew that the girl in Xie An's mouth was referring to Wang Xin, and secretly sighed in her heart that the little girl's good luck was spoiled by Xie An as her own sister without doing anything, but she would inevitably be suspected by him if she served this man in a low voice.
It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating!
It's a shame that that the hateful little girl still has the face to point to her nose and scold herself for being a vixen who seduces her and doesn't know if it's her brother or her husband......
However, when she remembered the look of the little girl pouting and her face full of dissatisfaction when she ate the taste, Qin Ke'er felt that it was quite interesting.
"The slave wanted to go with the master, but ...... Is that good? Little Miss doesn't like to see the little slave......" Qin Ke'er looked at Xie An with a resentful expression, and the little miss in her mouth was undoubtedly referring to Wang Xin.
"It doesn't matter, that girl is so stubborn, in fact, she is very kind...... Prepare yourself, and I'll call you later. Xie An said with a chuckle.
Is there just such a stubbornness?
Didn't she point your nose at the vixen and scold the vixen......
Qin Ke'er smiled bitterly in her heart, and stepped forward to open the door for Xie An, only to see that outside the house, Gou Gong was standing with his hands behind his back, and after noticing that the door was open, he hurriedly came over to take over the wheelchair that Xie An was sitting in. During this period, he glanced at Qin Ke'er lightly, and it could be seen that there were still all kinds of doubts in his eyes, but Qin Ke'er didn't care anymore, after all, in her opinion, as long as she didn't show flaws on her side, Xie An was absolutely reluctant to force her, as long as Xie An didn't open his mouth, Gou Gong didn't dare to do anything to her even if he was suspicious.
Seemingly respectfully bowing to Gou Gong, Qin Ke'er watched Gou Gong push Xie An's wheelchair away gradually, and then closed the door.
"......" glanced at the closed door behind him, Gou Gong frowned, and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, ......"
"Wait!" Raising his hand to interrupt Gou Gong's words, Xie An motioned for Gou Gong to push him into the distance, and after passing the small gate of the garden, Xie An glanced back and saw that Qin Ke'er's room was no longer visible, so he coughed and said softly, "Mo Fei, are you there?" ”
As soon as the words fell, he heard a whoosh, and Mo Fei, who was wrapped in a black cloth all over his body, jumped down out of nowhere, clenched his fists on the ground, and knelt down on one knee in front of Xie An.
Under Gou Gong's somewhat surprised gaze, Xie An lowered his voice and said, "Mo Fei, the Huifu will take Qin Ke'er to Jinling Street later, and it will probably not be back until the evening, take this opportunity, you go to her room and find something for the mansion...... Well, it's possible that there are a few things......"
"What's that?" Mo Fei's indifferent eyes flashed with some doubt.
"It could be a piece of paper, or it could be something of some other texture, and if you put it on the letter, you can see things that you would normally ignore or imperceptible...... Well, it's kind of a prop to see what is really written in the letter......"
"Some kind of code?" Mo Fei asked suspiciously.
"No, no, no, it's not a code. It's harder than that to notice that something is wrong! Xie An waved his hand and carefully explained what he was thinking to Mo Fei, but looking at the doubts that flashed in the latter's eyes from time to time, it was obvious that Mo Fei didn't understand it very well.
"Ignorance understood...... I don't know what the adults are referring to......"
As if seeing the concerns in Mo Fei's heart, Xie An nodded and said, "It's okay, you are a detective, if you find something like that." Make a copy of Yu Mansion as it is, in addition, Qin Ke'er received a letter today, if you find it, you can also make a copy for the Mansion! ”
"Ignorance, understood!"
"Remember to be careful. Don't let her see the flaws! ”
"Yes!" Mo Fei hugged his fists, jumped up, jumped onto the roof and disappeared.
Glancing at the place where Mo Fei disappeared, Xie An lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Gou Gong, what are you going to say?" ”
"Huh?" Gou Gong was stunned. Suddenly, he shook his head and smiled, "No, no." ――I thought that the adults were fascinated by that woman, but now it seems. It's a humble job! ”
"Hooked on her? - Perhaps! Xie An smiled bitterly when he heard this.
To be honest, to say that Xie Anran was not affected by Qin Ke'er, I am afraid that this is a bit self-deceptive, at least. That woman's service made him experience unprecedented pleasure, after all, Liang Qiu Wu and the eldest grandson Xiangyu couldn't pull their faces to do that for him. Even Yiyi and Jin Ling'er are not so embarrassed.
In all fairness, Xie An really hoped that all this was just his own concern, otherwise, he would really be a little reluctant to deal with the woman who was not inferior to the enchanting eldest grandson Xiangyu.
"Perhaps......" Gou Gong looked at his adult with some confusion, thinking about it, where did he pay attention to the complicated feelings of his family adult who was in a dilemma right now.
"Let's go, I don't know if that stupid girl is still sulking in the house......"
"Huh!" Gou Gong smiled when he heard this, compared to Qin Ke'er, he didn't show the slightest hostility and jealousy towards the little girl Wang Xin, the reason is nothing more than that the little girl's identity is innocent and her thoughts are simple, and it is impossible to be the inner details of a certain force, as for Qin Ke'er, it is difficult to say.
Not to mention that Gou Gong pushed Xie An to the room where the little girl Wang Xin lived, and said that Qin Ke'er was here, after seeing Xie An leave, the tenderness in Qin Ke'er's eyes had already disappeared without a trace, and after glancing at the roof tiles intentionally or unintentionally, he came to the couch with the letter, hung down the gauze tent, and then plucked the golden hairpin from the hair bundle on his head.
Gently twisting the golden hairpin, only to hear a very light crisp sound on the ground, the whole golden hairpin cracked in half, and the uneven scale of the bite resembled a short ruler.
I saw Qin Ke'er cover the golden hairpin that seemed to be a short ruler on the letter, it was very wonderful, the original whole line of juanxiu small characters, now only one whole word is exposed in each line, and the rest are covered by at least half of the words.
Ignoring the missing half of the words, connecting the whole words, and chattering throughout the letters, suddenly form a set of hidden messages.
Too...... Flat...... Letter...... Reach...... Ask...... That...... This...... Yes...... Eye...... Target...... Meaning...... Desire...... What...... For......
[Taiping Xinzhi: Ask him what is the purpose of his trip? ]
Although in order to hide people's eyes, Rao did not appear in the code [army] and Xie An's name, but this did not affect the reading at all, at least Qin Ke'er could see it clearly.
It seems that Xie An led 80,000 Liang troops to Guangling that day, and those under his command had been sent to the Taiping army.
However, judging by what the letter said, it seems that the Taiping army did not want to trigger a senseless engagement, otherwise, the letter would not have asked Xie An's purpose, but would have directly gathered forces to fight him.
Why?
It stands to reason that the Taiping army should definitely not sit back and watch Xie An lead the army deep into its hinterland, is it really because of the affairs of the three kings?
Qin Ke'er frowned slightly.
If it were anything else, Qin Ke'er might not dare to boast, but if it was about intelligence, she was proud enough, even if it was the intelligence network of the Great Zhou Imperial Court, it was not as comprehensive as the intelligence network in her hands.
Because of this, Qin Ke'er is very clear about the collusion between the [Three Kings] and the Taiping Army, and even she herself has some deals with these two forces: the purpose of the Three Kings is to support the Qin King Li Shen to become the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou, the purpose of the Taiping Army is to restore the Southern Tang Dynasty, and she, Qin Ke'er, just wants to be alone in this coming troubled era, and there is no fundamental conflict between the three; The Great Zhou and Jijing Imperial Courts were different, and the Jijing Imperial Court obviously would not sit idly by and watch Li Shen gain power.
After carefully reading the messages from the Taiping Army in those letters, Qin Ke'er exhaled slightly.
According to the message written in the letter in the form of a code, Qin Ke'er roughly sorted out his thoughts: the Taiping army has learned that Xie An led 80,000 Liang troops to block the river, and in this regard, the Taiping army has two ideas, one is to wait for the three kings to be ready and rebel together; There is also the first to eat Xie An's forces, after all, once Xie An is eliminated, the strength of the rest of the counties in the entire Jiangnan is not enough to compete with the Taiping Army.
And the Taiping army took the risk of sending the letter to their own hands this time, just to ask Xie An's purpose, to see if Xie An planned to fight with them, if they didn't reply to the letter and didn't say anything, they would be ready to use troops against Xie An, and share part of the pressure from Li Xian, the king of the eight sages, for the three kings.
"The Taiping Army doesn't seem to be monolithic...... Qin Ke'er frowned slightly, muttered in a low voice, restored the golden hairpin to its original state, and inserted it back into the hair bundle.
Maybe even Xie An didn't expect that what he wanted was actually under his nose all along, whether it was when he kissed me and me with Qin Ke'er during the day, or when Qin Ke'er served him with his tongue at night.
The one who suggested that Xie An should be the third-generation deputy marshal of the Taiping Army, Wu Heng, should be the one who suggested using troops against Xie An immediately......
At this time, taking the initiative to start a war against Xie An's Great Liang Army is not a matter of ten thousand benefits for the Taiping Army, aren't they afraid of being taken advantage of by the Three Kings?
Let's take one step at a time......
Shaking her head slightly, Qin Ke'er stood up and wanted to burn the letter, but after thinking about it carefully, she still put it in the jewelry box she carried with her.
Alas, pity yourself later, maybe you will have to be pointed at the nose and scolded by the little girl again......
Sighing helplessly, Qin Ke'er suddenly looked stunned.
Wait a minute......
Xie An came just now, it should have been for his letter, in other words, he probably didn't intend to let him follow him to the street to play......
[…… Later, Brother Hui wanted to take me to play on the street, but he didn't say he wanted to take you there, hum! ]
Recalling the proud appearance of the little girl showing off in front of her, Qin Ke'er's eyes flashed a little different.
At that time, Qin Ke'er only cared about muttering secretly, laughing at this little girl with a little head and tendons, and still hadn't figured out whether Xie An was her brother or her husband, but now that she thought about it, Qin Ke'er felt a little wrong.
In this way, Xie An only changed his mind after reading his letter and planned to take him with him......
Are you planning to break up with yourself?
Scold!
The corners of Qin Ke'er's mouth raised a little smile, and she sat in front of the dresser and wiped her rouge on the bronze mirror.
But what exactly is he going to do?
After thinking about it, Qin Ke'er took out a bag of incense powder, held it in the palm of her hand, and gently blew it on the smooth floor of the house......
