Chapter 16 Tracking
Out of the Wangjiang Tower, Qingzhi stood on Linjiang Street.
She first glanced at the woods on the corner of the street where there were many palanquins waiting, but did not see the two of them walking in that direction. The forest was dozens of feet away from Wangjiang Tower, and she guessed that they would not be able to walk there immediately and get into a sedan chair and go back.
So she looked to the east of Linjiang Street, but she still didn't see it, and then looked west, but there was still nothing. Just wondering why the two of them disappeared suddenly, I saw two people standing at an intersection on the north side of Linjiang Street.
They seemed to be talking about something.
Since the place where they were standing was not far from her, she was worried that she would get too close and attract their attention, so she did not step forward for the time being, but first hid herself behind the trunk of a tree outside the Wangjiang Tower, and secretly stuck her head out from behind the trunk to look at them.
I saw them chatting for a while at the intersection and then turning towards the path to the north. After their figures had completely disappeared, Qingzhi walked out from behind the trunk of the tree and came to the street they had just turned into.
The street is about three feet wide, and there are shops on both sides of the street.
It was noon, and the traffic on the street was busy, and the sound of hawking along the street, the sound of bargaining, and the chatter and laughter of the people in the street were endless.
It's not easy to find someone right away in this bustling street. She searched for a long time before she found Lu Shikang and Wu Shan in the figures ten feet away from her.
Their backs were walking along the east side of the street.
Because there are many people in the street, Qingzhi has become a lot more courageous.
If she was wearing men's clothes, she wouldn't be so bold, but now, she's wearing women's clothes. She thought that even if Lu Shikang had doubts about his identity, he would never have imagined that he would appear outside in women's clothes.
And because she was bold, she followed them without any worries.
She was confident that they hadn't noticed herself, because they had never looked back.
Because she was following behind them, she could hear them clearly.
She hoped to hear them talk about the so-called shocking secret, or about herself, so that she could know if the shocking secret was related to herself, or what Lu Shikang was doing to herself at the moment.
But they didn't talk about the secret, they didn't talk about themselves, they didn't even talk much.
Occasionally, Wu Shan suddenly remembered some family affairs in the Lu Mansion, so he said a few words, and Lu Shikang only replied briefly.
Aoeda followed behind, and noticed that they were suddenly heading west, so she hurried westward as well.
They went to a small teahouse on the west side of the street, so she also walked to the teahouse.
When Lu Shikang and Wu Shan sat in a private room on the second floor of the teahouse, she sat down in the private room next to them, and then leaned her ear against the wooden wall panel that separated the two rooms, trying to listen to the movement.
Helplessly, the sound insulation effect of the wooden wall was so good that she couldn't hear anything, so she hurriedly didn't even rush to drink the tea she ordered, and went downstairs first, lest they leave first, and she would not find them later.
After leaving the teahouse, she first pretended to wait under a tree not far from the teahouse, and when she saw them coming out of the teahouse, she immediately followed them.
In this way, following them around and around, she herself didn't know how many miles she had walked, and when she was so tired that she couldn't walk, she suddenly heard Wu Shan ask:
"Third Prince, what do you think of Dr. Kong?"
Her heart tightened, and the tiredness just now was swept away, and she listened to the voice in front of her.
I only heard Lu Shikang reply: "He...... It's kind of interesting. ”
Interesting? What did he mean by that?
When Qingzhi was puzzled, he only heard Wu Shan ask again: "What does it mean?" Wu Shan still remembers how his third son looked at Dr. Kong when he hugged him that night.
I saw Lu Shikang put his hand on Wu Shan's shoulder and whispered to him: "Doctor Kong has a secret. ”
"Dr. Kong has a secret? What secret? ”
Hearing them say this, Aoeda's heart has already risen to her throat.
Now they were turning into an alley again, this time into an empty alley, and she shouldn't have gone with them, because there were no pedestrians around to cover them, and it was too blatant to follow them now.
However, she really wanted to hear what Lu Shikang's answer would be next, so she followed desperately.
In this alley, the voices of the surrounding people suddenly became quieter.
She could clearly hear Lu Shikang's answer: "This secret, I told him that day, and I will keep it secret for him, only he and I know it in this world, so I ......"
"What, just the secrets you two know? What's the secret? Wu Shan looked at Lu Shikang, waiting for his answer.
"I told you, how can a secret still be called a secret?"
Qingzhi was a little deflated. Followed for half a day, nothing was found.
The so-called secret about himself that he told Wu Shan must have been the conversation he told him yesterday morning when she woke up at his house and said goodbye to him, what she said to him that she had the good of Longyang.
It's just that now that he mentions it like this, could it be that he really said that he had Longyang at the moment he picked him up that night?
If it's true, then it's too ...... yourself Embarrassed.
Could it be that when he was drunk, he actually had any thoughts about him that he shouldn't have?
It's not completely impossible to think about it, after all, I also had a fleeting good impression of him.
Therefore, she secretly regretted in her heart that she really couldn't drink indiscriminately, and now it was too late to regret it.
When he was bowing his head and regretting, he heard Wu Shan say: "This girl, what have you been doing with us?" ”
Qingzhi suddenly raised her head, and saw that Wu Shan had turned around at some point, and was looking at herself, she secretly screamed that it was not good, and subconsciously replied: "I ......, how can I follow you, I am just hanging out alone." ”
Wu Shan said: "That's also strange, the way you wander has always been exactly the same as ours." You also came out of Wangjiang Tower, and you also went to the teahouse we went to just now, and every road we walked, at least eight or nine roads, it was exactly the same, girl, don't you think it's a bit too coincidental? ”
I saw Lu Shikang standing in front of the alley wall with his hands and arms, not saying a word, but his expression was leisurely, that is, he did not denounce himself with Wu Shan, nor did he help himself speak.
Qingzhi didn't know how to explain himself for a while, but said: "I didn't look at the road carefully, if it is exactly the same road as you walked, it was not my intention, I didn't know it at all." With that, he turned and left.
Wu Shan stopped her and said, "Who are you, say, did you hurt my son-in-law that night?" ”
Qingzhi said: "How could it be me? I don't even know your son-in-law. ”
Wu Shan: "You still want to run?" Otherwise, why are you following us? As Wu Shan spoke, he had already taken out the rope from his body and tied her whole body in a posture that the green branches could not dodge.
"What do you want to do?"
"Take you back to Lu Mansion."
"What?" Aoeda couldn't believe her ears.
"Go back to Lu Mansion. Do you want me to repeat it? Wu Shan said.
