Chapter 157: Changing Face
Xiao Fangzi led the young general over and said, "The servant has already asked this general to investigate the corpses in the mountains and forests, and he will also strengthen patrols in Yangcheng City." ”
"Good." Bai Churuo said.
The young general said, "Then the general will arrange it now." ”
Bai Churuo nodded, and the young general saluted and said goodbye, leaving a team of soldiers to patrol around the inn.
Bai Churuo and his entourage decided to rest in Yangcheng for a few days and have a good time before going on the road.
After a tiring journey for several days, Bai Churuo went to the bedroom of the inn, took a bath and fell asleep, otherwise she felt that she was too dirty and couldn't sleep at all.
Murong Jiuqing was also forcibly pushed into the hands of Chang Yi and Hei Feng by her, and was washed before being allowed to enter the house.
Bai Churuo slept in the bedroom all the time, from the morning of the day to the afternoon to get up and eat, and then went back to sleep until the next morning.
Xiaolan waited for Bai Chu to get up, and told them one by one, "Chang Yi and Lord Xiao Fangzi went to purchase the things needed along the way, Lord Heifeng went to arrange the boat to prepare to go down to Jiangnan by water, and the slave maid inquired about the dishes of this restaurant where we live are also the best in Yangcheng, and the surrounding area is also the most fun place in Yangcheng, with all kinds of delicious food." ”
Bai Churuo laughed, "Then I'm going to have a good look." ”
Xiaolan also smiled, "However, Lord Heifeng said that if the eldest lady and the prince get up, they can go to the riverside to meet him, I think I want to explain the arrangements and other matters to you." ”
Bai Churuo said, "That's it...... Then let's go now. ”
Xiaolan had already prepared and had already prepared the carriage.
If Bai Chu thinks that it is still early, the market has not yet come out! So after breakfast, he got into the carriage and hurried to the river.
The servant was waiting for Bai Churuo at the intersection of the dock, and when he saw the carriage, he stopped and pointed the way to lead them.
Black Wind has already arranged the ship at this moment, and is undergoing a full inspection of the details.
Hei Feng said, "Princess, the ship has been arranged, and there is no problem after checking, so you can purchase all the things that need to be purchased and move them to the ship in the next few days." ”
Bai Churuo nodded, "How many days will it take us to take the waterway?" ”
"Then it depends on how many days the princess and the princess want to play, and if you go to the south along the river, it will take a day for every town to dock! If you want to finish this line, it will take half a month, if you want to play well, it will take at least a few months, and it will take a few days to play in a town. ”
Bai Churuo said, "It depends on the situation when the time comes, ask them to buy more things like necessities, and they may not be able to buy all of them when they go to those smaller towns, and they may not be able to buy them all in this kind of prosperous area." ”
Black Wind said, "Yes! ”
After Bai Churuo explained some details to Hei Feng, he dragged Murong Jiuqing back to the lively market.
It happened that it was already noon, so I went back to the restaurant for dinner.
Xiao Fangzi and the others also returned.
Bai Churuo asked, "Have you finished buying anything?" ”
"Not yet! The minions still have to go around to see what they are missing, and then buy again. Xiao Fangzi said.
The shopkeeper slowly served the dishes, Xiaolan's toilet dishes and sandwich vegetables.
Xiao Fangzi also helped to distribute the vegetables and pick up the vegetables, and then said, "For the sake of safety, the minions have already asked people to go to every town to greet them, and our ships will be answered when they dock." ”
"That's very good." Bai Churuo said, "If those people in black come, we won't be powerless!" ”
"Yes." Xiao Fangzi responded.
"Now that we're out, let's have a good time, and don't let those men in black destroy it." Bai Churuo said.
"Yes." Xiao Fangzi responded again.
At this time, Bai Churuo was about to continue talking, but his eyes were attracted by the person who came in at the door.
Bai Churuo's first reaction was to hide, and at the same time, he regretted not calling a private room or chartering the restaurant.
Bai Churuo lowered his head to eat, for fear of being seen by that person.
However, the next moment, the man walked over with a smile, "Princess, prince!" What a coincidence, we can meet here as well. ”
Bai Churuo had no choice but to raise his head and look at the son with an excellent face and an extraordinary temperament, Chai Tingxuan!
Bai Chu refused in his heart, and he was also puzzled how he could meet Chai Tingxuan here? Didn't this guy come with them on purpose?
"Chai Gongzi? Why are you here? Bai Churuo pretended to see him and asked.
"I'm out to play." Chai Tingxuan said with a smile.
Bai Chu didn't believe it, "Chai Gongzi is so Yaxing." ”
"What did you come out for?" Chai Tingxuan asked.
"I'm here to play, too." Bai Churuo said.
"That's right...... Why don't we go together? Chai Tingxuan asked.
If Bai Chu heard this, he wanted to refuse! But if you can be with Chai Tingxuan, it will definitely be much safer! Chai Tingxuan stretched out his hand, and he must have brought a guard when he came out to play, and his identity like him is also a talisman.
Bai Churuo said, "I want to too, but there are many people with us, and the boat is afraid that it will not be able to sit down, I don't know if there are many people brought by Chai Gongzi?" ”
"Not a few!" Chai Tingxuan said with a smile, "It's true that we can't sit down, but we can go on the road together and go by boat." ”
Bai Churuo nodded, "Good idea." ”
Chai Tingxuan smiled meaningfully, "I didn't expect that the princess would agree and no longer refuse." ”
"It's safer to have a companion on the road." Bai Churuo said, "We met the Assassin on the way here. ”
"Oh?" Chai Tingxuan asked, "Is it from the Wanyue Sect?" ”
"Yes." Bai Churuo nodded.
"They're chasing here." Chai Tingxuan was a little surprised.
Bai Churuo let Chai Tingxuan eat, "Chai Gongzi didn't eat either, if you don't mind, you can go together." ”
Chai Tingxuan was also polite, picked up the chopsticks and got up.
Bai Churuo asked, "Is Chai Gongzi's affairs in the capital finished?" ”
"Are you referring to the last time the Men in Black attacked? Or is it Ye Xiang's business? Chai Tingxuan asked.
"Hmm." Bai Churuo said.
"The man in black can't be found, but Ye Xiang is very sad, and has increased the manpower to find the man in black in the capital." Chai Tingxuan said.
"Then the prefect's Gu family? Did Ye Xiang embarrass them? Bai Churuo asked.
"Nope." Chai Tingxuan shook his head, "Although Ye Xiang is sad, he is not a person who will anger the rest of the people casually. ”
"I also heard Ye Xiang say before that Ye Huan'er suffered from madness because she was stimulated in the prefect's mansion." Bai Churuo said, "I thought that Ye Xiang would be detrimental to the prefect's mansion. ”
"Maybe it was true at the beginning, but Ye Huan'er's loss of heart was after returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they definitely couldn't do anything to the Prefect's Mansion without evidence." Chai Tingxuan said, "I estimate that even if the Prime Minister's Mansion wants to attack the Prefect's Mansion, it will not come directly." ”
"What do you mean?" Bai Churuo asked.
"Literally." Chai Tingxuan said.
Bai Churuo only hoped that the Gu family would be fine.
If Bai Chu didn't speak, Chai Tingxuan asked, "Is the old lady of Chu Mansion in a better situation?" ”
"The old lady is much better, and she is almost ready to get out of bed and walk around." Bai Churuo said truthfully.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at medicine." Chai Tingxuan said.
Bai Churuo smiled and didn't speak, in fact, her medical skills are really not top-notch, in modern times, although she is a scholar, she is just an intern, but her medical concept is more comprehensive and advanced, and naturally it is much stronger in all aspects.
If Bai Chu heard that there were many divine doctors with amazing medical skills here, wasn't the ghost who poisoned Murong Jiuqing one of them? Although he is a poison doctor!
To be honest, Bai Churuo was very curious about that night ghost, but she was definitely afraid of seeing that person, so she had to practice and do research in normal times, and thoroughly study the medical science and pharmacology here. She always had a hunch that the night ghost would definitely appear one day in the future, and she had to do her best to protect Murong Jiuqing and not let him be hurt a second time.
"Who did you learn your medical skills from?" Chai Tingxuan asked.
"Self-taught." Bai Churuo said.
"Can I learn my own medical skills?" Chai Tingxuan asked again.
"What can't you teach yourself?" Bai Churuo said with a smile, "This medical skill is not unremarkable, there are so many medical science books, isn't it just a matter of taking a good look at the research and research?" ”
Chai Tingxuan said, "Makes sense! ”
said that he would go with Chai Tingxuan, Bai Churuo was not so resolute in refusing Chai Tingxuan, but he was still unwilling to stay with him and talk more.
Bai Churuo ate and pulled Murong Jiuqing and ran away.
"Stay away from him." Murong Jiuqing said suddenly.
Bai Churuo turned his head to look at him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"He doesn't come across as a good guy to me." Murong Jiuqing's pretentious expression said in fear as if a child had met a bad person.
"I don't think he's a good guy either." Bai Churuo said, "But we don't play with him either, but traveling together can let him help protect us, I'm afraid I will meet those people in black again." ”
"Don't we have enough people? When they met the man in black that day, couldn't they solve it with the black wind? Murong Jiuqing asked.
"Yes." If Bai Chu heard the words and thought about it, he responded.
"Stay away from that Chai Tingxuan." Murong Jiuqing emphasized again.
When Bai Churuo heard this, he hugged his arm and said, "Okay." Then he went shopping with him.
In the evening, Bai Chu Ruocai and Murong Jiuqing returned to the restaurant.
Bai Churuo washed it clean and lay down.
Murong Jiuqing waited for her to fall asleep before she lit her slumber.
Murong Jiuqing got up, pulled the bed curtain up, and went to the front hall of the bedroom to open the window!
Black Wind quickly entered the house, "Master! ”
"The guy surnamed Chai came with him on purpose, right?" Murong Jiuqing asked.
"It's the same according to the humble position." Hei Feng said, "He must have inquired about the whereabouts of the prince, and the humble official has already asked this afternoon, and Chai Gongzi came to Yangcheng this morning." ”
Murong Jiuqing was silent.
Hei Feng continued, "Chai Gongzi also contacted the magistrate of Yangcheng when he went to Yangcheng, so he also knew our residence, so he came to the restaurant to meet with the princess and princess in the morning...... However, the strange thing is that Chai Gongzi's ship was set up two days ago. ”
Murong Jiuqing felt that this was not strange, because they had been delayed on the road for so long, Chai Tingxuan could have arranged the ship in advance. The only thing that I think people care about is that Chai Tingxuan followed their purpose.
Murong Jiuqing said, "Does the person surnamed Chai also know that?" ”
"I can't rule out that I received the news, but I don't know how he found out." Hei Feng understood and knew what Murong Jiuqing was referring to.
The purpose of Murong Jiuqing's trip was not to simply enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to get new treasure map fragments, after he got the news, he asked the concubine to lie and let Bai Churuo take him out to play, because this time the journey was far away, he was not worried that Bai Churuo was alone in the palace, so he took Bai Churuo with him, otherwise he could take someone to find the treasure map fragments by himself.
However, if Bai Churuo was brought out, he was also worried!
Murong Jiuqing said, "Find someone to keep an eye on Chai Tingxuan for me." ”
"Yes." Black Wind said.
Murong Jiuqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "You said those people in black, is it possible that Chai Tingxuan sent someone?" ”
Hei Feng's face was calm, "I can't rule out this possibility." ”
"Have you checked the poison on the poison needle?" Murong Jiuqing asked.
"Checked it! Rather special, these poisons seem to be specially concocted, and the style does not belong to those known forces. Black Wind said truthfully.
Murong Jiuqing was actually a little worried that the poisonous needle was from the ghostly handiwork, so it didn't sound like this.
Murong Jiuqing still asked, "Do you think it has anything to do with the night ghost?" ”
"I don't think the night ghost will use this poison, and he won't hide it like this." Black Wind said, "Although the Night Ghost is acting strangely, he is very arrogant and flamboyant, and although his poisoning skills are superb, it will definitely not be like this. ”
Murong Jiuqing coincided with Hei Feng's thoughts, and he also thought so. The night ghost is too good at that poison technique, and his personality is perverse! He would not have used such a poison and such a secret, which was nothing more than an inferior poison to him.
"So, the most suspicious one at the moment is still surnamed Chai." Although Murong Jiuqing didn't have any substantive evidence, he always felt that this matter was inseparable from Chai Tingxuan.
Twice encountered those assassins with poisonous needles in the Forgotten Immortal Residence, those people were able to evade the inspection of the Forgotten Immortal Residence every time, and only Chai Tingxuan had such a ability.
"Have the guards of the Forgotten Immortal Residence been strengthened?" Murong Jiuqing asked.
"It's strengthened, and a lot of secret guards have been arranged." Black Wind said.
"And there's any movement in those eyeliners?" Murong Jiuqing asked.
"There is no movement in the eyeliner of the Forgotten Immortal Residence, and the subordinates also deliberately went to investigate the eyeliner that Chai Gongzi planted in the Forgotten Immortal Residence, and there is nothing to gain!" Black Wind said.
Murong Jiuqing is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Forgotten Immortal Residence, where you can not only entertain and play, but also collect information! It was a unique intelligence base in the capital that he had built.
However, maybe it's too mysterious.,Many people have inserted eyeliner to the Forgotten Immortal Residence to get a glimpse.。。
Murong Jiuqing said, "Then it's not sure if it's Chai Tingxuan." ”
