CHAPTER XXII
"Prince Xiao is already on his way to Jiangbei City, and it is said that he is here to find his princess who loves to run around...... led by the man in black.
The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Do you believe this is the reason? He still couldn't trust me, so he sent his son to spy on me under the pretext of an excuse. ”
"So what are we going to do?"
"He can't have an accident anywhere in Jiangbei, understand?"
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
As he spoke, the young man at the head led the other people who had just walked with him out of the lobby.
They didn't rest for a moment, and then set off for Jiangbei City again.
After a few people on horseback left, a woman dressed in white appeared next to the middle-aged man in the lobby just now.
The body is plain white, there is no pattern, there is a simple jade hairpin in the bun, and there is nothing at the wrist.
Although the face of the thirties has been weathered, it is still beautiful, and you can imagine how amazing it must have been when you were young.
"Husband, how about I dance for you tonight?" The woman's face was pitiful, as if she was pleading.
"I've got something to do." The middle-aged man looked at the map and didn't raise his head back.
"Husband, I haven't danced for you for six years, and if I don't dance, I'll be old......"
The middle-aged man put down the map, took the woman by his side, looked at her fondly, and said, "In your husband's heart, you will never be old." Caressing her fair but emaciated face, "Husband is only worried, your body can't stand it." Do you have any medicine today? ”
"Eat."
"I remember, I don't forget to take medicine every day."
"Husband, my wife has written it down." The woman looked at the man's emaciated and weathered face, "Husband, can't you give up your obsession and live here in peace?" In the first half of your life, the days of the Golden Iron Horse, sleeping in the open air every day, and experiencing hardships, why do you have to repeat it again? The woman's voice trembled.
"You don't understand."
"I don't understand. I only know that you can't accompany me to enjoy the flowers when the flowers bloom before, and you can't accompany me to enjoy the moon when the moon rises, and now that you have finally become an idler, you still can't accompany me to enjoy the flowers and the moon, and chat with me for a while. Why can't you let it go? Is power really so important in your eyes? She frowned.
"The husband just wants to get a breath."
The woman smiled sadly, "In your eyes, life is always less important than your backbone." ”
As she spoke, she left the lobby and walked to her bedroom, where the curtain was deep, and in front of the mirror, she caressed her increasingly thin face, which was no longer bright.
The door of memory suddenly opened at such a moment, and tears welled up in her eyes, dripping down one by one, wetting the hem of her dress.
The eight years spent on the battlefield seemed to be a picture scroll, slowly laid out in memory, and the picture scroll depicted her youth and his youth.
It's been ten years. It seems to be only for a moment, and it seems to be a vicissitudes of life......
.
Day 2.
Qingzhi got up early in the morning, and it was still early, and she got up before even the finches, who always get up early, on weekdays. She got up early in the morning to go out before the family got up.
Today is the first day she started acting, she put on the dress she bought yesterday, wrapped her hair in a gray handkerchief, and stood in front of the mirror to see that she was a little groom with spirit.
But it's just missing a pinch of mustache.
She took out the green daisy and applied a few touches to her lips, so that the top of her lips looked green, similar to a beard at first glance, and it should not be visible from a distance.
Dressed like this, dressed like this, and then drove a carriage, and wandered around the street in front of Lu Fumen, she didn't believe that Lu Shikang would notice herself like this.
She went out of the door of her house, came to the stable, set up the carriage, and set off.
Afraid that his family would be worried, Qingzhi told his family that he hadn't seen him for a day because he had gone to a distant house to see a doctor, and that he would go to that person's house every day for the next few days, and because the family was some distance from Jiangbei City, he had to use a carriage every day.
Guo's family, the third sister and the people in the family did not show any doubts, this matter was too normal for them. In the past, when Master Kong was at home, he also encountered this kind of thing from time to time, but now that he has gone on a long trip, this matter naturally falls on Qingzhi's head.
Qingzhi worked as a groom in Jiangbei City for five days, only to find that being a groom was really boring, every day was either waiting for people, or hurrying, and some guests were arrogant, and some of them also bargained with her from time to time, obviously because she didn't expect this to make money was already the most conscientious price. If it weren't for the fear that other grooms would trouble her, she could have received lower.
And after a few days of secret observation, she discovered Lu Shikang's travel pattern.
He goes out almost every day, and each time he goes out is around midnight, although he goes to a lot of places, such as Wangjiang Tower, some teahouses and restaurants in the city, but the places he likes to wander around are mostly in the south of the city, and the number of times he goes to the north of the city is very rare.
And when he went to the south of the city, he had to pass through the road, that is, the distance from his house to Hefeng Road, which he must pass almost every day.
After walking around in front of the Lu Mansion in the past few days, in addition to discovering Lu Shikang's itinerary, she also found a place that puzzled her, that is, she met the same people near the Lu Mansion several times.
There were six of them.
Although they were dressed like ordinary people in the city, she felt as if they were not ordinary people.
The reason why she felt that they were not the people who lived in that area was because she found that those people seemed to be people who had nothing to do, unlike the others she had met, who were always doing something.
They're mostly wandering around, the kind that seems to be aimless.
Sometimes when she goes to eat at restaurants near Lufu, she will meet them who are also eating.
These people are also slightly different from the rest of the people around them when they eat, when they eat with their partners, most of them are noisy, and so many of them sit around but are silent.
Such a few unusual people, and they always appear near the Lu Mansion, can't help but make her a little puzzled.
Whether this was the Lu Mansion's own plainclothes guards who secretly inspected the suspicious situation around her, or other people with ulterior motives, she didn't dare to draw conclusions easily.
However, she hadn't heard anything unusual about anything unusual in Lu Mansion for a few days, and she felt that maybe she was thinking too much.
After working as a groom for five days in a row, she decided it was time to start her acting project.
Because if you don't act, it's too late.
There are only three days left before the day he said he would declare the secret in public.
