Chapter 230: Relevance
Lin Yingxue had just seen Peony enter the Willow Pavilion, but the two women in front of her seemed to have no idea.
It seems that this peony girl is much more mysterious than she imagined. Lin Yingxue raised her head and drank the wine in the cup, sat with Fang Mengru for a while, and then got up and planned to leave.
"The two sons go slowly, remember to find our two sisters next time!" The women in the Qinglou probably like nothing more than a guest like Lin Yingxue who leaves after drinking in a proper manner, because these two women are even extraordinarily enthusiastic in sending off guests.
Lin Yingxue nodded and smiled, and just as she was about to go downstairs, she saw the old bustard bring a woman up, the woman lowered her head, and deliberately wore a cloak, looking like she was afraid of being recognized.
Lin Yingxue saw that the old bustard's expression was a little unnatural, and she couldn't help but be secretly suspicious, so when the woman passed by her, she suddenly moved a few points to the side, and bumped into the woman lightly and heavily.
The woman was defenseless for a while, her figure was staggering, and the hat also slipped off her head, although it was only for a moment that the woman put the hat back on, but Lin Yingxue still saw the woman's appearance clearly in this short moment.
Sun Ruolan!
Ben was just a casual temptation, but he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here! At the beginning, Sun Ruolan said goodbye without saying goodbye, Lin Yingling arranged for someone to find Sun Ruolan in anger, but Sun Ruolan was like someone had evaporated, so that no trace could be found at all, but she never thought that she would meet Sun Ruolan here again today.
Lin Yingxue covered up the surprise below, pretended to look as usual, and walked out of the Willow Pavilion with Fang Mengru.
"Yingxue, just ......" Fang Mengru walked behind Lin Yingxue before, and saw Lin Yingxue's small movements at that time clearly, so she was a little confused now.
"I met an acquaintance." Lin Yingxue glanced back at Xunliu Pavilion, and her face became much more serious, "Mengru, you go back first, and on the way back, take a trip to my house, and let Leng Yue come here to find me." ”
- She wants to see why Sun Ruolan is here, and whether there is a connection between Peony and Sun Ruolan.
Fang Mengru saw Lin Yingxue's solemn face, knowing that things must not be simple, so she couldn't help frowning and said, "Yingxue, you don't know martial arts, if something happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it for a while." If I stay here and watch for you, you can go back and find Leng Yue. ”
Lin Yingxue saw Fang Mengru's worries, her heart warmed, and her tense face relaxed a lot, "It's okay, I'm just here to monitor for a while, nothing will happen, you just need to go back and call Leng Yue, and it will be foolproof if she protects me at that time." ”
Lin Yingxue has always been a person with great ideas, Fang Mengru saw that she couldn't persuade Lin Yingxue, so she had to compromise: "Okay, I'll report to your house soon, and you should be more careful before that." ”
"Well, I will." Lin Yingxue nodded, and watched Fang Mengru leave quickly.
After Fang Mengru left, Lin Yingxue observed the terrain, and finally found a place to sit down in a teahouse not far from Xunliu Pavilion - where she was sitting, she could see the situation at the gate of Xunliu Pavilion, but the people below could not necessarily see her.
After sitting and drinking about half a cup of tea, Lin Yingxue saw Sun Ruolan walking out of the Willow Pavilion in a hurry. Seeing this, Lin Yingxue hurriedly took out the silver ingot from the money bag and put it on the table, and then she hurriedly chased it out.
And Leng Yue seemed to feel Lin Yingxue's anxiety, and she appeared in time. After Lin Yingxue met Leng Yue downstairs, she didn't bother to explain, so she pulled Leng Yue and followed quickly.
Originally, the major cities closed the city gates before sunset, but since the people of the Hunan Kingdom retreated, there is now a peaceful and prosperous world, so the imperial city has returned to the same as before, and the city gates are not closed day and night, and Lin Yingxue saw Sun Ruolan's hurried appearance, it seems that she wants to drive out of the city overnight.
However, Sun Ruolan's behavior is so suspicious, how could Lin Yingxue let people go so easily?
After following all the way out of the city, Lin Yingxue saw that the time was ripe, so she couldn't help but turn her head and give Leng Yue a look, "Go." ”
Seeing this, Leng Yue couldn't help but nodded, and then Lin Yingxue only felt a flower in front of her, and when she looked closely, Leng Yue had already disappeared beside her.
"Who?" Sun Ruolan was also very cautious, she sensed that something was wrong when Leng Yue made a move, but with her skills, how could she be Leng Yue's opponent? After only two moves, Sun Ruolan was subdued by Leng Yue.
"Miss Five is really a good means." Sun Ruolan had been in the Lin family for so long before, so she naturally knew Leng Yue, and as soon as Leng Yue made a move at this time, Sun Ruolan had already guessed that this matter was Lin Yingxue's handiwork.
Lin Yingxue didn't want to hide herself, but as soon as Sun Ruolan's voice fell, she walked out of the shadows, "Second aunt, long time no see." ”
Lin Yingxue was worried that if she brought Sun Ruolan into the city like this, she would attract the attention of Peony and others, so she took Sun Ruolan into a nearby ruined temple to settle down temporarily.
"What is the relationship between you and Xunliu Pavilion and Peony?" The broken temple is not big, Leng Yue clicked on Sun Ruolan's acupoint and threw it to the ground, at this time, Sun Ruolan's body could not move except for being able to open her mouth to speak, so Leng Yue was not afraid that Sun Ruolan would hurt Lin Yingxue.
"Who is Peony? What kind of place is Xunliu Pavilion, although I am not favored at home, how can I also be a dignified official lady, how can I have anything to do with that kind of place? Sun Ruolan was very disdainful.
"Really?" Because she had long expected that Sun Ruolan would not confess so easily, Lin Yingxue did not feel much surprise.
She stepped forward step by step under Sun Ruolan's gaze, looking at Lin Yingxue's dark eyes that couldn't see emotions, Sun Ruolan felt a palpitation in her heart for no reason.
"What do you want to do...... Yes! Accompanied by Sun Ruolan's screams, Lin Yingxue took off Sun Ruolan's clothes without blinking.
Just when the two people in the small temple were confused about what Lin Yingxue had done, Lin Yingxue pulled Sun Ruolan's shoulder, and saw a lifelike peony tattooed on Sun Ruolan's back.
The peony flower on the peony face, the peony flower on Xue Ji's back, plus the peony flower on Sun Ruolan's back...... This is already the third person Lin Yingxue has seen with peony tattoos on their bodies, and the peony flowers tattooed on the three women are exactly the same except for the different sizes!
Don't...... Lin Yingxue suddenly had a bold guess in her heart.
"Leng Yue, you are optimistic, I'll go back to the city." Lin Yingxue's eyes flashed, and then she walked quickly towards the outside of the temple.
At this time, although it was already night, it was still early, and when Lin Yingxue rushed all the way to the prince's mansion, the prince had not rested.
"You're saying someone is using these beauties to control officials?" The prince looked very surprised after listening to Lin Yingxue's conjecture, "But Xue Ji is not a second ...... Murong Xiao's people? Now that Murong Xiao is dead, who are these people working for? ”
"Nope." Lin Yingxue vetoed the prince's idea with a solemn expression, "These people are not the people of the first second prince, but the second prince is the pawn of these people, they want to push the first second prince to the throne, so they sent Xue Ji to help the first second prince...... Xue Ji's ability is known to the prince, as for Sun Ruolan, before the incident of the second landlord window of the Lin family, no one in the Lin family noticed her methods, and her ability can be seen from this. ”
After listening to Lin Yingxue's analysis, the prince couldn't help but sigh: "These women seem to be powerless, but in fact, they are all highly poisonous. It is true that these women are superb, but it is not easy to cultivate the behind-the-scenes hands of these women. ”
"Exactly." Lin Yingxue frowned and continued: "Now that Sun Ruolan is being seen by Yingxue's subordinates in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, if the prince wants to interrogate Sun Ruolan as soon as possible, it is better to send a few people to bring people back secretly with Yingxue." ”
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go with you now!" The prince replied decisively.
All the way through the bustling downtown area, after walking to the square house, the surrounding noise slowly faded away.
In the past, the peony came and went freely in the Fang Mansion, but today Meng Yi was suddenly summoned, and she felt a little nervous in her heart for no reason.
"Pavilion Master." Meng Yi stood by the window with his back to the peony, and the peony bowed apprehensively.
After waiting for a while, Meng Yi turned around, "You've been getting bolder and bolder lately. ”
A faint sentence, not even the tone of the tone did not fluctuate, but Peony's heart was tight, and he hurriedly knelt down, "I don't know what mistake Peony made, and I ask the pavilion master to make it clear." ”
"Hmph." Meng Yi snorted lightly, casually folded off the orchid placed by the window and sniffed it between his nose, "What did you do wrong?" Where have you been today, who have you met, and do you need me to tell you one by one? ”
Really! Peony 'chuckled' in her heart, she hurriedly kowtowed to Meng Yi heavily, and said in a panic: "Pavilion master forgive me, today Sun Ruolan suddenly came to find her subordinates, and her subordinates were afraid that Sun Ruolan had something to explain clearly, so she met Sun Ruolan privately...... The subordinates knew that they were wrong, and asked the cabinet master to forgive them! ”
Generally, in order to avoid exposure, girls who have already carried out tasks will either die or be transferred out of the original city, and must not return to the city without permission. Because Sun Ruolan's performance was quite good, it was in the cabinet that Sun Ruolan was spared a life, and she was transferred to other cities to continue to perform other tasks, but now Sun Ruolan came back quietly, Peony did not report it, and saw Sun Ruolan privately, so it is reasonable for Meng Yi to be angry.
Others don't know Meng Yi's methods, but Peony can't be clearer. Peony knelt on the ground, cold sweat slowly slid down her forehead, and just when she was scared, Meng Yi suddenly flicked her sleeves, and then she only felt a pain in her chest, and the whole person fell backwards to the ground.
'Poof' Peony spurted out a mouthful of blood, and said weakly: "The pavilion master spares her life, the reason why Sun Ruolan came back this time is because she still has a godbrother in the imperial city, and the cabinet let her transfer in a hurry, and she hasn't had time to make good arrangements, so she took the risk to come back and ask her subordinates to settle her brother well, and there is nothing else, please also ask the pavilion master to investigate!" ”
