Chapter 533: Beginning to Doubt
The two of them parted unhappily, and Li Chuxia listened to their words in his heart, it seems that this matter of arms trading really implicated a bunch of important ministers of the court, looking at it, this national teacher also seemed to be one of the participants, and even played a very important role.
Thinking like this, Li Chuxia couldn't help but be a little shaken.
Suddenly raised his head, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Tong Ningyi's eyes, staring straight at himself.
Just as she was thinking about whether she was exposed, she heard Ning Yi say, "What are you doing?" Bring it to me and eat it. ”
Li Chuxia paused, nodded, and brought over the dish that had just been deliberately slowed down in order to delay time, so that it was only ready now, "My lord, this is a newly developed dish." ”
Ning Yi didn't look at the table, just looked straight at Li Chuxia, and chuckled: "You are the new cook two days ago, right?" ”
Li Chuxia nodded, "Yes, I'm a new cook, just from the countryside, I don't know much about any rules, if there is an offense, ......"
"That's not going to happen, the housekeeper has told me about you." Ning Yi smiled, looking like he knew Li Chuxia well.
In fact, Li Chuxia's identity was indeed forged by Academician Liu, which was learned by Ning Yi through investigation.
However, on the face, Li Chuxia could only hang his head and nod respectfully, "Yes." ”
As he spoke, he had already finished the dishes in front of him, moved in the direction of Ning Yi, and said, "My lord, okay, you can eat it." ”
"Hmm." Ning Yi picked up the chopsticks, tasted them, and said with a smile: "The meals of the past two days are all made by you, and they are really different from the original." ”
Li Chuxia smiled lightly, "It's good if adults like it." ”
I brought a little more sauce that I had boiled and placed it on Ning Yi's noodles, "It will be better to dip some of this sauce and eat it." ”
Who knew that Ning Yi not only didn't clip another piece, but grabbed Li Chuxia's hand, he touched her hand and sighed: "Look, this hand shouldn't be like this." ”
Li Chuxia was so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his hand, and subconsciously took two steps back, looking panicked, "Lord Vice-President, please respect yourself." ”
"You're so frightened, it's fascinating." Ning Yise looked at Li Chuxia with a smile.
Li Chuxia's heart trembled.
Although she wanted to attract Ning Yi's attention, she really didn't want to do it in this way.
"My lord, the maiden remembered that there were still some things to be done in the dining room, so she left first." After Li Chuxia finished speaking, he bowed slightly, then turned around and ran.
Ning Yi stood there, looking at the direction Li Chuxia had left, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
He beckoned, called the butler, and asked, "Have you investigated the identity of this woman?" ”
Hearing Ning Yi ask this, the housekeeper couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looked at him a little strangely, and asked, "My lord, is there anything wrong with this woman's identity?" Or did she do something? ”
"I didn't do anything, I just thought it was a little weird." Ning Yi twisted his eyebrows, he had just touched Li Chuxia's hand, and it looked like it was indeed a hand that often touched the kitchen knife, but it seemed to be stained with some bloody smell.
Thinking that he had fought in the north and south all the year round and had killed countless people, he knew the taste of human blood so well, and Li Chuxia's performance made him a little suspicious.
It's just that he's not quite sure.
"What's strange about you?" The housekeeper looked at Ning Yi's appearance and guessed that Ning Yi probably couldn't tell this strange place, so he took the initiative to ask: "Do you need a slave to inquire again and see where this woman comes from?" ”
"Well, you go check and see if there's really anything wrong with this."
The butler nodded, and took the order to retreat.
And at this time, after Li Chuxia came out of here, he had been undecided.
I didn't expect Ning Yi to be such a person, although she had weaknesses, she could start because of this, but she thought about Baili Yunzheng, and she really couldn't get over this level in her heart.
At this time, she suddenly heard two cuckoo cries from outside the courtyard, but this sound seemed to have a rhythm, and when she heard it, she knew that it was a code.
Li Chuxia glanced out of the courtyard wall, and then clapped his hands.
In the evening, in the dead of night, Li Chuxia secretly took advantage of the night to feel out of the back door, followed a figure around a few corners, and walked to a relatively remote corner, then stopped, "Yun Zheng." ”
The figure in front of him, looking back, was Baili Yunzheng.
Baili Yunzheng nodded, stepped forward to check on Li Chuxia, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”
"I went in today under the pretext of serving the deputy commander for dinner, and I heard her talking to a woman, who was veiled and couldn't see her true face clearly, but from their conversation, I only knew that the woman seemed to be a national teacher." Li Chuxia said, his expression was a little solemn.
"National teacher?" Baili Yunzheng's face also sank, "There are more and more people involved in this."
Li Chuxia nodded and chuckled: "Yes, and this national teacher still seems to be a not simple character, when they speak, it seems that they also mention some weapons." ”
After she probably told Baili Yunzheng what the two of them said, Baili Yunzheng didn't care about what she said, but thought of something else, and asked very strangely: "When they talk about these things, you are listening to them?" ”
Li Chuxia didn't know Baili Yunzheng's worries, thinking that he was just an ordinary inquiry, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I originally wanted to go over and serve this deputy lord so that I could inquire about a little news, and I just heard about these things." ”
"You know so many things, so Ning Yi actually believes in you so much?" Baili Yunzheng couldn't believe it.
Hearing Baili Yunzheng say this, Li Chuxia also seemed to notice that something was wrong, "Is it difficult to ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Baili Yunzheng dodge and flipped out behind Li Chuxia.
Li Chuxia turned around and followed Baili Yunzheng's footsteps, but he hadn't gone far, but he saw Baili Yunzheng grabbing a man dressed in black, dividing him by two, and killing him directly.
Li Chuxia's eyes widened, a little incredulous, "This ...... This is sent by the deputy commander? ”
"Looks like so." Baili Yunzheng nodded, "Now that deputy commander has doubted you, I'm afraid it won't be safe for you to stay there." ”
Li Chuxia was also clearly aware of this.
"But Yun Zheng, this matter hasn't been solved yet, and I haven't been able to ask anything from the mouth of the deputy commander......" Li Chuxia lowered his eyes.
"In early summer, whether you can ask something from the mouth of the deputy commander or not, we will find a way to find out about this matter, it will be sooner or later." Baili Yunzheng looked at her, opened his eyes, and looked at her steadily, "What you should be worried about now is not the matter of the deputy commander, but the safety of your life." ”
"Yun Zheng, don't worry, judging from the current situation, the deputy commander shouldn't be able to do anything to me for the time being." Li Chuxia frowned and said: "It's so easy for us to hold on to this time, if I leave like this, I will definitely startle the snake and attract their attention." ”
In the daytime today, didn't the woman start talking about the assassin, it seems that they have been aware of the emperor's interference and have begun to take precautions, this time with her, Baili Yunzheng wants to continue to investigate, but it will be difficult.
Baili Yunzheng was still a little reluctant, "But in early summer, you ......"
"Don't worry, Yun Zheng, I'm fine, I'll take care of myself." Li Chuxia turned his head and looked at the man in black who was chasing after him on the ground, "Since there are no pursuers behind him, that is to say, he came alone, as long as I insist on not knowing anything, I don't dare to say anything more than the deputy commander." ”
It seems that Li Chuxia has made up his mind.
Baili Yunzheng could only look at her deeply like this, "Are you really going?" In early summer, I'm worried about you. ”
"I know, but we don't have any other choice, it's the best way." Li Chuxia stretched out his hand and gently stroked Baili Yunzheng's cheek, his eyes were full of tenderness.
Since Li Chuxia insisted, Baili Yunzheng didn't have much to say, so he could only sigh, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't stop it." I've said before that no matter what you decide, I'll support you. Now, the same is true. ”
"Thank you, Yun Zheng." Li Chuxia smiled slightly, and a soft light flashed in his eyes.
After Baili Yunzheng finished disposing of the body of the man in black and said goodbye, Li Chuxia immediately sneaked back to the mansion of the deputy commander, but fortunately, no one found her.
The next morning, she sent food to Ning Yi to eat as usual, and when Ning Yi saw her, she couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows, "Did you go out last night?" ”
"Huh? Last night? Li Chuxia deliberately pretended to be at a loss, pretending not to know what Ning Yi meant, and shook his head, "No, I have been staying in the room since I came back from the dining room last night." ”
"Really?" Ning Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and looked Li Chuxia up and down with suspicious eyes, as if he wanted to see something from her face, but finally looked away, "That's it......"
Li Chuxia looked strange, "What's the matter, my lord?" ”
"It's fine." Ning Yi waved his hand, "You can go down." ”
It seems that this matter will have to be checked again.
Li Chuxia nodded, turned around and was about to walk out, and Ning Yi just raised his eyes slightly, just saw something, and suddenly opened his mouth to call her, "Wait......"
Li Chuxia turned his head a little strangely, but saw Ning Yi lowering his head and looking at his shoes.
She looked down, her pupils widening slightly.
Sure enough, Ning Yi asked a little strangely: "You said you didn't go out yesterday, but why are your shoes stained with some red soil, there doesn't seem to be such red mud in my mansion?" ”
Li Chuxia couldn't help but be surprised.
It's really a secret!
