Chapter 85: Expressionless
Beizhu looked back at Bai Shuqin in three steps, and when she walked to the inn, Bai Shuqin waved to her and asked her to go in quickly. She looked at Bai Shuqin for a long time before reluctantly entering the inn.
Since leaving the palace, Bai Shuqin felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at her behind her, which made her very uncomfortable, but she didn't see anyone when she turned around. can follow her so secretly, this person must not be an ordinary person.
Tongqing Inn is only a two-story inn, and there are only six people in the shopkeeper. The best side rooms are just ordinary, but fortunately, they are cleaned neatly and neatly.
The cotton quilt on the bed was fluffy and fluffy, and it smelled of the sun, presumably just sunburned.
Bai Shuqin asked the account office for a pen and paper, opened the window and whistled outside, and after a while, a white carrier pigeon flew from a distance.
She threw a handful of millet on the ground, and the carrier pigeon flew down from the window and pecked at the millet on the ground.
The moment she saw Han Yu today, Bai Shuqin's intuition told her that Zhuo Jinxuan was afraid that she would not be able to come. In order to achieve his goal, Han Yu will definitely find something to entangle Zhuo Jinxuan. And in the past two days, she has not received a reply from Zhuo Jinxuan, maybe the carrier pigeons have been eaten by Han Yu.
Zhao Linlang is in the palace, and there is not much power that can be mobilized. In this matter, she can't alarm Zhao Tingxuan. At this moment, the only person who can ask for help is Nangong Che.
Bai Shuqin frowned, not knowing whether this letter should be sent or not.
The pigeon flew out of the window into the blue sky, and the letter was finally sent, but it was still unknown whether Nangong Che would come to help Bai Shuqin.
Bai Shuqin didn't expect Nangong Che to come in person, and she could send someone to help her casually, she was already grateful to him.
The rest of the paper and ink Bai Shu Qin did not waste it, she listed the purposes of the soulless Lan Xin and Han Yu one by one, and carefully analyzed the purpose of the two. Knowing herself and knowing her opponent can win all battles, and she has to figure out her current situation.
Behind the Soulless One, the Spirit Emperor family in Southern Xinjiang, according to Bei Zhu, it was the Spirit Emperor Patriarch who controlled the Soulless One, so she was actually facing him. His purpose was to take her to southern Xinjiang to complete the sacrifice.
Bai Shuqin still remembers the situation last time, and before the sacrifice, they would only try their best to control her, and they would not harm her.
Han Yu needs the child in her belly as a medicine guide, there are three prescriptions, he will only want the child in her belly, and he will definitely not harm her life.
Both of them aim for her as a person, and her life has become her biggest bargaining chip.
Bai Shuqin raised the corners of his mouth, now that he knows the weakness of the other party, the next thing is how to rescue Qingluan and Qingfeng. The two of them must have been seriously injured now, but as long as they breathed a breath away.
The question is, how to get the two of them out of the hands of the soulless.
As far as is known, there are at least a hundred and ten people controlled by the soulless, and she went alone, and the possibility of winning is too small. And she must also guard against the control of the soulless.
The afterglow of the sun shone into the room, and Bai Shuqin realized that it had sunset. She had some food brought over and prepared to rest early.
On the second day, as soon as the rooster crowed for the first time, Bai Shuqin immediately rolled over from the bed.
Outside, the sky was just dawning, and the morning star hung in the sky, shining a subtle light not far from the moon. In the early morning of February, the weather was still a little cold, Bai Shuqin tightened his clothes, got up and went downstairs.
Tian Yuan waited downstairs early in the morning, leaning against the carriage, his hands in his sleeves, bending over, his legs shaking.
Seeing Bai Shuqin come out, he quickly pulled his hand out of his sleeve, "Bai girl, shall we leave now?" ”
Bai Shuqin nodded and looked at the carriage behind him. Although the horse is not as good as the Maxima on Zhuo Jinxuan's Mansion, judging from its shiny hair and vigorous body, it is a good horse.
The sedan chair pulled behind the two horses is not luxuriously decorated, but it is also exquisite. The red roof has yellow tassels hanging from the bottom, and the curtains are silk cloth with dark red lines.
Tian Yuan patted the horse's back, "Are you satisfied?" ”
"It's okay, let's go!" Bai Shuqin lifted the curtain and prepared to get into the car.
Tian Yuan stretched out his hand to help her, Bai Shuqin felt that something was inappropriate, smiled at him, avoided his hand and got into the car by himself. Tian Yuan retracted his hand and shouted to Bai Shuqin, who had already entered, "Bai girl, you must not have eaten breakfast yet, right?" My lady has prepared some food for you, if you don't dislike it, make do with eating some to cushion your stomach! ”
Bai Shuqin saw a box wrapped in dark cloth next to the seat, she was a little moved in her heart, opened the curtain, and said to Tian Yuan: "Brother Tian, thank you and sister-in-law." ”
This big brother Tian made Tian Yuan feel embarrassed, they collected so much money from her, and it was right to do these little things. He said embarrassedly: "You're welcome! ”
For the seats in the carriage, Tian Yuan and the others specially put two soft pillows, and Bai Shuqin knew that this must have been made by the Tian family.
The road in the capital was built gently, Bai Shuqin put one pillow on the seat, and the other pillow rested on his back, as comfortable as if he was in a room.
There was no delay on the way, and it was not until noon that Tian Yuan stopped at a post station.
He got out of the car and lifted the curtain, "White girl, let's have lunch here, and then we can only have a place to stay on the side of Qiyun Mountain." ”
Bai Shuqin was squinting his eyes to rest, and when he heard him say this, he said, "Well, then rest here, you go and order some food first." ”
"Okay!" Tian Yuan agreed and walked towards the post station.
Bai Shuqin had too much to worry about last night, and he couldn't sleep until he rested for a while just now. She rubbed her reddish eyes and shook her head to sober herself up.
The inn is located at the foot of the mountain, and the trees on the mountain have sprouted, and the tender yellow buds have made the mountains gentle. Blue sky and white clouds, the breeze blowing, Bai Shuqin took a deep breath greedily.
The post station in front of me is not very large, only two rooms. One room with a table is a place for passers-by to eat, and the other is a place for posters to rest.
There was a shed outside the room, and a pot was placed, and the two cooks were busy in the shed.
Tian Yuan had already ordered the food, stood at the door and greeted Bai Shuqin, "White girl, come in and rest!" ”
Bai Shuqin walked around the shed and walked into the dining room. Although the room is not big, there are a lot of people.
Tian Yuan was looking for a table that was fought with others, he wiped the stool with his sleeve, and said to Bai Shuqin embarrassedly: "White girl, in the mountains and wilderness, I have wronged you." ”
Bai Shuqin smiled and shook her head, she is not a person who can't endure hardship. Compared to the ones she encountered on the way to Jiangzhou before, the conditions here are already good.
At the table with them were three young people, and Bai Shuqin saw that they should all be dressed as martial arts practitioners. The three young men just glanced at her, and went on eating their meal.
The room was a little crowded, and before their food was served, a middle-aged couple came to share a table with them. The table, which was only two square meters, was crowded with people, and Bai Shuqin had to stick to the middle-aged woman.
Bai Shuqin was still a little hungry, but smelling the sour smell of sweat mixed with the smell of various stir-fried dishes, she only ate a little and lost her appetite.
Tian Yuan didn't feel any discomfort, and ate noodles in a big gulp.
Bai Shuqin handed a piece of silver to Tian Yuan, "You eat slowly, I'll go out to breathe." ”
"Well, I'll finish eating in a minute, you wait a little longer!" Tian Yuan took the money, and the speed of eating noodles was much faster.
When he got outside, Bai Shuqin felt that he was alive again. After sitting in the car for a long time, she felt a little tired in her waist, so she stretched her waist to get better.
At this time, a group of people in the distance rode over on horseback, and the sound of horses' hooves made Bai Shuqin look in that direction curiously.
The leader was dressed in a black and red-edged official uniform with a black official hat on his head. This dress Bai Shuqin felt familiar, very much like the official uniform of the Zhuo Kingdom Imperial Forest Army.
Impossible, she shook her head, how could Zhuo Guo's Imperial Forest Army appear in Zhao Kingdom.
The group of people was getting closer and closer, and Bai Shuqin finally saw clearly the clothes they were wearing, which was really the official uniform of the Zhuo Kingdom Imperial Forest, and she would never admit her mistake.
And who is the person at the head, who is Nangong Che who is not the iceberg face!
The letter was only sent yesterday afternoon, and Nangong Che will not receive it until this morning at the earliest, unless he can fly, so he can appear here at this moment. But the person who came over on horseback in front of him was indeed Nangong Che.
This can only show that he is not here for Bai Shuqin, could it be that Zhao Guo has other things that Nangong Che needs to deal with?
Bai Shuqin was guessing Nangong Che's intention, and the group of them had already arrived at the post station.
Nangong Che got off the horse, threw off the black cloak behind him, handed the rope leading the horse to the person next to him, and walked towards Bai Shuqin without squinting.
Bai Shuqin saw that Nangong Che was bringing so many people, and he thought in his heart, why should he let him keep two people. So he greeted him with a smile: "Nangong Pavilion Master, don't come unharmed!" ”
Nangong Che's face was expressionless, he glanced her up and down, and then looked at the carriage behind her. He looked around at the mountains, and the carriage was not easy to walk on.
"Who is on Qiyun Mountain?" Nangong Che asked suddenly.
Bai Shuqin was a little puzzled, how could he know about Qi Yunshan? The only people who know about this should be Zhuo Linfeng, Beizhu and the three of them, could it be that there is a spy around Zhuo Linfeng?
It shouldn't be possible, Bai Shuqin suddenly remembered the feeling of being watched after leaving the palace, probably someone from the Dark Night Pavilion. No wonder she didn't find out that the Night Pavilion was indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Now that Nangong Che already knew, Bai Shuqin didn't hide it, "The people of Southern Xinjiang, they kidnapped my people." Are you here to help me, or are you? ”
Nangong Che glanced at her coldly and spit out two words, "Passing by!" ”
The ghost would believe this statement, but Bai Shuqin didn't talk back to him, after all, she still wanted to use his power. She smiled shyly, "Nangong Pavilion Master, you shouldn't mind helping your subordinates with this little favor when you pass by!" ”
Nangong Che squinted his eyes, the people of Southern Xinjiang have always been isolated from the world, and it would be difficult for him not to think about the connection between the people who kidnapped Bai Shuqin.
Seeing him like this, Bai Shuqin deliberately shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "You are so busy, you probably don't have time to help me." ”
"Then it depends on how much you're willing to pay!" Nangong Che raised his eyebrows and said.
Bai Shuqin looked at him in disbelief, he would actually talk to her about the so-called remuneration. This kind of person is really worth it. But now she has a request for help, and she has an attitude of letting you slaughter, "Say, how much?" Two hundred taels, is it enough? ”
At the beginning, Bai Shuqin asked Nangong Che for monthly money, but he only gave five taels. Now there are only ten people behind him, give him two hundred taels, Bai Shuqin feels that this is already giving him a lot of face.
Nangong Che hooked the corners of his mouth, "I don't want money!" ”
The corners of Bai Shuqin's mouth twitched twice, not wanting money is fatal, it is better to spend money to eliminate the disaster. Thinking of Qingluan and Qingfeng's current situation, there was no room for her to refuse, "Then what do you want?" As long as I have! ”
"It's not time to tell you yet, just remember to owe me a favor!" Nangong Che smiled cunningly.
Bai Shuqin felt that his smile was even more hateful than his iceberg face, this kind of unclear request was the most terrifying, which was tantamount to planting a time bomb for his future self.
