166 Meeting (2nd Watch)
When Gu Jiao walked out of the house, Xiao Liulang hadn't come over yet.
It just so happened that diagonally opposite was a shop that sold sugar water, and also sold rock sugar gourds, and it was here that she saw Gu Yan and Gu Changqing last time.
The sugar gourds they bought back were beautiful, clean, and varied.
Gu Jiao walked over: "Boss, give me three strings of sugar gourds, a string of sugar oranges, and a string of sugar yam eggs." β
Rock sugar yam eggs are liked by Xiao Jingkong, round, glutinous, and don't need to spit out the core.
The boss smiled and said, "Okay, girl, a total of 100 wen." β
Prices in the capital are really high.
In the county seat, a string of sugar gourds is only three or four cents, and the roadside stalls in the capital cost ten cents a string, and in this shop, it has doubled.
However, the sugar gourds in the capital are relatively large, and they are approaching the end of the year, so Gu Jiao is relieved when she thinks about it.
She paid for it, wrapped it in paper, and put it in her little basket.
Gu Jiao felt that it was not bad to wait for Xiao Liulang here, and as soon as the thought flashed, she noticed that someone was staring at her.
In his previous life, he licked blood from the knife edge, and if he hadn't been monitored and couldn't find out, he would have died eight hundred times.
Gu Jiao turned her head, the other party obviously didn't expect Gu Jiao's intuition to be so sensitive, and she didn't have time to hide her figure, so she quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Gu Jiao thought he was gone, so she ignored him, Xiao Liulang might come over at any time, and she didn't want to miss him.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't give up, and after a while, he actually pushed open the window on the second floor of an inn, pulled out his bow and aimed at Gu Jiao.
Even bows and arrows were used.
It seems that he is really determined to find death.
Gu Jiao explained to the boss of the sugar gourd shop: "Boss, if a good-looking young man comes to me in a while, the best one, you let him wait for me here." β
The best, the best?
The boss was a little confused.
Girl, you're a bit of a big mouth.
I have opened a shop here for more than 20 years, and the emperor's relatives have also seen it, who is the best-looking? Can it be better than the royal relatives?
The bloodline of the royal family of Zhaoguo is still very good, first of all, the emperor's appearance is very high, and the concubines who marry into the palace are all great beauties, can the princess and princess born not look good?
The boss didn't take it too seriously, and after all, someone came to inquire about her after a while, and he relayed it truthfully.
Gu Jiao entered the inn opposite.
"Girl, are you going to eat or stay at the hotel?" Xiao Er greeted him.
Gu Jiao ignored him and stepped up to the second floor.
The shape of this inn is a bit complicated, with twists and turns.
But Gu Jiao's sense of space is very good, but in an instant, she deduced that it was the third room to turn left in the east corridor.
Gu Jiao entered the house.
The man slipped so fast that he climbed through the window to the roof.
Gu Jiao leaned out of the window, looked up, grabbed the window frame with one hand, and tossed upwards to the roof.
This time, she finally saw the general appearance of the other party.
It's a man.
Dressed in black.
Gu Jiao toe a little, picked up a tile, raised her legs, and kicked the tile towards the other party.
The man didn't expect Gu Jiao to be able to use such a trick when he ran after someone, but he couldn't dodge it, and was knocked down on the roof by the huge impact of the tiles.
Gu Jiao heard a crisp sound of collision, as if something iron had hit the roof tiles.
It was the man's face.
The man was wearing an iron mask!
Gu Jiao had already guessed who he was.
The number one thief in the capital - Flying Frost.
Gu Jiao narrowed her eyes and chased after her in three or two steps.
It was too late to get up and run again, and the man swept his gaze, rolled his body, and chased down the edge of the roof.
Not.
A bit of a brain.
It's a lot more beaten than those straw bales in the martial arts hall.
After a long time of not meeting an opponent who could concede a second move with her, Gu Jiao hooked the corners of her lips viciously.
Below is the courtyard of a music hall.
Gu Jiao jumped down.
The sound of the silk and bamboo wind music in the music hall covered up the sound of the other party's footsteps and breathing, and it was difficult for ordinary people to judge the specific location of the other party, but Gu Jiao was the first agent of the organization who could accurately identify the footsteps from more than a hundred sounds.
When she passed by a cubicle with a curtain down, she suddenly reached out and dragged a black shadow out of the cubicle and slammed it to the ground!
The man snorted, only to feel that his brain was about to dissipate.
What is the origin of this girl? I've improved a lot!
But he is not a vegetarian after all, Fang is careless, and now he will not.
He threw out a packet of powdered medicine and used the powder to cover it up and ran into the aisle beside him.
The people who have escaped from Gu Jiao's hands again and again are not many in their previous lives and in this life, and it seems that they have not recovered their strength in their previous lives.
Gu Jiao chased him all the way into a dimly lit basement.
It was as if the man had vanished into thin air.
Odd.
Where did the people go?
Also, isn't this a music hall?
Why is there such a big basement?
Storage or-
While thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps in the direction of the entrance, and Gu Jiao flashed behind a large cabinet.
Someone walked in with an oil lamp in his hand, and with the faint light of the oil lamp, Gu Jiao saw the scene clearly.
This is no ordinary basement, there are two rooms in total, the outside is like a meeting place, and the place where I am standing is really like a storage room.
There were two young women in total.
One of them took the lamp, and the other lifted the curtain and looked at the storeroom, as if it was a routine inspection, but he also knew that there would be no one in the storeroom, so he did not go deeper.
She lowered the curtain and said to the other person, "Wait for it, and serve the tea." β
"Okay." The man lit the lamp.
Because the light outside is very bright, it seems that Gu Jiao is very dark here, and it is more convenient for her to hide.
After the two of them set up the tea room, a woman wearing a pale cyan curtain and a white dress came in.
The woman's appearance was covered, but she was long, graceful, and delicate with a pair of jade hands.
When she entered the house, she gestured to the two maids, and they retreated in amusement.
The huge tea room means that she is the only one left.
Gu Jiao was hesitating whether to go out openly, but a man wearing a heavy purple golden fox fur walked in.
From Gu Jiao's point of view, the man was too tall, his eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth were obscured by the door frame of the storage room, and only a delicate chin was exposed.
The man sat down across from the woman.
Now Gu Jiao couldn't see him at all, and on the other side of the table was Gu Jiao's blind spot.
The only thing Gu Jiao could see was the woman wearing the curtain fence.
It's just that there is a curtain to cover it, and everything about her is looming.
"You've returned to Beijing, is Her Royal Highness the Princess okay?" The woman spoke.
couldn't see her expression, but Gu Jiao could also hear the respect in her tone.
If this woman's voice is played in the previous life, I am afraid that it can be regarded as a heavenly sound.
The man opposite him spoke, not in a hurry, deep and restrained: "She's all right, thank you for your concern." β
Her Royal Highness the Princess? Empress?
It seems that these two people are not small.
When they meet in this kind of place again, they are afraid that their whereabouts will not be known to outsiders.
Gu Jiao: So you're waiting for her here? went to great lengths to lure her over, just to let her collide with the two big shots, so that she could be killed by the hands of the big guys?
I just don't know where that guy is hiding at this time.
The woman spoke again: "The princess is fine, I am relieved." β
The man said, "Niangniang asked me to come out, but is there something?" β
The woman sighed and said, "Niangniang sounds strange, you still call me Linlang like before." β
The man said, "Minister, don't dare." β
Gu Jiao said in his heart, saying that he didn't dare to say anything, but his momentum was obviously wider than the sky and the sea.
The woman did not continue to force it, but pushed a burden on the table to the man: "In fact, there is nothing else, that is, Chinese New Year's Eve is coming, and my current identity is inconvenient to worship him, please help me burn these paper money and incense candles to him." β
"The mother has a heart." The man's voice did not show the slightest emotion.
The woman looked at him, "Can you blame me?" β
Man: "Mother, I'm too worried." β
The woman said sadly: "I can't call you father as I wish in this life, I'm sorry and regretful." But in my heart, you are the same as my father, and I respect you even more. β
Man: "Mother's words. β
I was most afraid that the air would suddenly be embarrassed, and the man didn't seem to like to talk much, so the woman didn't open her mouth and the room was quiet.
Suddenly, the woman lowered her head and coughed a few times.
The man finally took the initiative to speak: "Is there something uncomfortable about Niangniang?" β
The woman shook her head: "It's okay, it's just a little cold." β
The man said, "Niangniang, take care of your body." β
The woman nodded, "I will." β
Gu Jiao still heard the man's concern for the woman.
"When it comes to the body, I think of one thing." The woman said thoughtfully, "Since Your Majesty and the eldest prince returned from their southern tour, they have never set foot in the harem for half a step. I heard that on the way to the southern tour, I met a fairy Taoist, who taught His Majesty the art of immortality, and asked His Majesty to burn incense and pray every day, and not to get close to women for two years, and even the queen mother has not seen His Majesty for a long time. β
Man: "Niang Niang means ......"
Woman: "I suspect that the Taoist leader was arranged by the eldest prince, and this southern tour is not simple." β
Man: "I see, I'll have someone investigate the master." The hour was not early, and there was nothing else to do, so the minister retired first. β
The woman stood up and bowed to the man.
The man returned the courtesy of a monarch.
After that, the man left the underground tea room.
The woman sat in the tearoom for a while, intending to leave.
However, at this moment, the unexpected happened.
I heard a loud bang, and the roof of the entire basement cracked and collapsed!
"The Crown Princessβ"
With the screams of the maids on the ground, the crown princess was buried under a piece of rubble, and Gu Jiao in the storage room was buried below with her.
